#take care of yourselves okay?

Sometimes. You just gotta imagine you’re in bed, physically, mentally, and emotionally tired. Easy thing to do. But then the hard part comes in where you have to make Copia’s dialogue accurate to his speaking patterns.

Like he might not sound so totally, completely sage — he’s still learning to accept things, too, and struggles just like every other person. And he’s never been the best at translating sensitive thoughts on the fly anyhow. So it can be a bit jarring to think of him agreeing, but it’ll be done in his own way: “Yeah. Yeah, this moment sucks. The here and now sucks major, heavy, unwashed balls.”

You might even want to laugh a bit at it but everything just feels so exhausting, you can barely muster anything besides just laying there. He doesn’t mind. And if you don’t mind it, he’ll reach into the blankets and pull out your hand, holding it in his own. Clasped between them. It’s warm, given the gloves.

“I know you don’t want to be here in this moment,” sounds okay enough to come from him, so you let that stick. You may fumble a few times, trying to find the right words but as exhaustion begins to overtake you, you settle on something you think you can live with:

“Life is like that. We both know this. But I promise you: I won’t let you be in this moment alone. Okay?”

Okay.

Okay.

It’s not fun, it’s not great, it’s not even good.

But it’s okay.

And when you get the strength to get out of bed, the impression of his gloved hand holding your bare one still in your mind, you’ll move forward. It can still okay. But maybe once you gather your bearings, it could be good.

But for now, this sucks. And this is okay.

So you would die for me. Now live for me.

Yes, so I know you would die for me. But would you live for me? Would you stay and hold my hand through all the famines and hardships, apathy and misery? I would never doubt the strength of your love; I'm just saying that perhaps sometimes, we become so wrapped up in dying we forget about living. I'm just saying, in this version of the story, we both live to see the ending of Oedipus’ story. I want to watch a million sunsets and sunrises with you. Will you stay? Will you stay to share a thousand joys and griefs with me? Please stay. I know we could have made a beautiful tragedy. But my love, if you stayed, perhaps we would have created a wonderful mess of cookie dough together. Perhaps we could have cried over taxes together. Perhaps we would be an insubstantial spark, a flint vanishing into the dark. But we would have had our say. We would have taken on all the struggles the world gave us, and say,

“Look. Look here, now. You didn't ruin us. Or perhaps you did, but you will never stop us. You cannot tame my spirit, you will not break my heart.”

i've been wide awake since 4am so i've had about an hour and a half to settle into this reality. it's disappointing and infuriating that a race fueled on nothing but hatred and fearmongering is about to win. it's scary. but listen to me, and this is not an empty platitude: we will be okay. we are going to organize and push back against the hate and the fear and the stripping away of our rights. we are going to keep campaigning to free gaza. we are going to keep protecting our LGBTQ family. we are going to keep fighting for progressive policies. make no mistake, it's gonna be a lot fucking harder than it would have been otherwise, but we're sure as hell gonna keep doing it anyway.

there are a lot of appropriate responses to disaster, but giving up is not one of them.

✦ info: kaeya returns home wearing his master thief costume. (takes place after the events of 'secret summer paradise' in version 3.8)

✦ warnings: not proofread.

✦ notes: where can i get myself a kaeya pls why isn't he here with me

the clock strikes nine just as the knob to your front door turns, the little bird in the wooden device chirping out the counts at precise intervals. the creaks of the door are not loud, yet they still have you jolting awake from your impromptu after-shower nap. 

“sorry, did we wake you?” a very familiar voice whispers into the dark from near the hallway. kaeya’s back! you realize, rubbing the sleep from your eyes.

you shake your head, closing the book that lays open on your lap. “no, no. i just dozed off.” you laugh it off, smiling at your boyfriend and at klee, who’s dozing off comfortably in kaeya’s arms. she stirs when he moves a little too abruptly. 

“hey, it’s okay, you can go back to sleep.” he coos softly, patting her head. he sets her down on the couch, gently laying her head on a cushion.

“we had a little too much fun in sumeru,” he tells you after he’s made sure she’s sound asleep, pulling you close and wrapping his arms around your waist. “she’s all tired out. albedo’ll be here to take her home soon.”

“i can tell. i love her mage costume.” you squint at his indigo and peacock feather get up. “and you’re supposed to be a…?”

he huffs playfully, pouting. “you can’t tell? i’m a master thief, clearly.”

“the style suits you.” you tap at his lips and his mouth spreads into a grin underneath your fingers, lighting up his entire face. “though, you’re not you without the boob-window. or that fluffy monstrosity you call a cape. it’s characteristic, but unnecessary. ”

he gasps in mock offense. “how could you slander my cape that way? you call it an unnecessary fluffy monstrosity, yet you still steal it when you’re cold, do you not?”

you exhale forcefully through your nose despite your best efforts to keep a straight face. “touché. drama queen.” 

“besides, i was born for this role, you know,” he says, mischief glinting in his periwinkle eye. “after all, did i not manage to steal your heart?” 

you roll your eyes, undoing the peacock feather tie and tugging at the braid he has his hair in to free it. he gives you a fond look, shaking his head to assist once you’ve loosened it enough. azure cascades down his shoulders, a slight wave throughout. “so, master thief kaeya, wearer of feathers, stealer of hearts.” your expression mirrors the still-present grin on his face as you loop your arms around his neck, his hair a silky waterfall on your fingers. “what caper are you chasing next?” 

“since i already have the most precious of hearts in my hands, i believe i need to steal a few kisses to complete my collection, yes?” 

“but good sir, are you sure you’d be satisfied with just a few?”

“oh, haven’t you heard, darling?” you feel his mouth curl into a slow smile against your neck, his voice a caress against your skin.

 “i’m insatiable.”

They ask you to come to work at a time like this, then write you up when you can't get the stains out of your uniform.

Mmmm, that was nice, didn't it feel nice, baby? Yeah it did.

Ah, where do you think you're going? You're just gonna fuck and leave?? I'm kidding baby, I know you're better than that. We're going to just lay here for a bit though, okay?

There's no big hurry to get up, just catch your breath. Let's take a couple deep breaths together okay?

Breathe in.. 1.. 2.. 3.. 4..

Hold it.. 1.. 2.. 3.. 4..

Andd breathe out.. 1.. 2.. 3.. 4..

Do that a couple more times okay?

Good boyy. You're such a good boy for me. I'm so proud of you, sweetheart. Let's just lay here for a bit, okay, let's talk about it. Tell me everything, how you feel, what I need to change, what your favorite part was. And then I'll tell you.

Here's a couple kisses, baby, you deserve them. Yeah, you deserve the world.

Let's get up slowly now, okay? Nice and slow and then we'll get all cleaned up.

"it is so worth it, sticking out" are words i personally really needed to hear as of recently.

(mini personal chat under the readmore, vaguely going into depression/sui thoughts so pls don't read if you're not able to <3)

i felt that stream so deep in my bones. to keep it brief, the last three years i've been having Bad Thoughts pop up at various points to varying degrees, and this year i got it the worse it's ever been. i've finally come to the end of my three year uni course, and it's left me feeling this sick and awful dread that once it ends, so does my life. from january to march i was unable to work, just played nitw and felt like a husk, or crying. then i tried to pull myself out of it, and by early april i'd already fallen back in. its such an all consuming thing, and the Bad Thoughts have been daily. i've only just started poking my head back up mid may because i became obsessed with resident evil (lol) which has aided in distracting my mind.

what i'm trying to say is, what was discussed and said in today's stream resonated with me very deeply. and it's awful to see another person in a similar harrowing position. i don't know how to get better yet, but i'm going to try. and i hope you all are able to get better too. you deserve to!

and aimsey if you happen to read this, thank you for being here. thank you for staying. the world needs you in it.

nothing can take you down 💜
