#the supreme deity fucked up bad

[hihopelessromantics]

To add to the SD’s humiliation, every human society the Meliodasses have ever encountered across their 3,000 year journey have inevitably lost most of their awe for the deity. And against all odds the inherently isolating nature of being cursed seems to be working against the SD’s intentions, since humankind is oddly accepting - even supportive! - of her least favorite demon and his current freakish state. There’s no other reasonable explanation for their current state other than they’ve somehow been cursed by a god, and the least everyone can do is not freak out about it, right? meliodas doesn’t usually have to elaborate further than the initial admission - most ppl are too shook to do anything else than pretend Everything is Fine TM when it comes to the Meliodas Army. Regardless of how many there are. So despite the effects of the curse being in everyone’s face all the time, Meliodas maintains a state of almost total privacy about the situation, without putting much effort into it on a day-to-day basis. People don’t want to disturb their kindhearted “happy go lucky” protector by asking about his scores of clones. That’s gotta be a sore subject, right? And is it really that big of a deal? I mean, the guy’s CLEARLY not human… nothing he’s capable of makes sense! Why point out this thing in particular? MEANWHILE, the supreme deity is now ingrained in the common language of several human kingdoms that the meliodas army has never encountered as the butt of a joke. Most people don’t even know why this is, or how it started, they just know that if you can’t reasonably explain something that worked out but in a way that leaves everyone feeling like their efforts have backfired and fate itself is controlling the narrative now with no regard to anyone’s sanity. And that they’re at risk of exploding from the sheer absurdity of it all. It’s the supreme deity’s fault. And that’s how it’s been for generations now.

Scenario: “Okay. I gotta ask - why are you looking at me like that! If you know what I’m gonna say you should KNOW why I’m so freaked out. Don’t be all secretive about it now either. what’s with your companion. You know, that unarmed kid knight? The one that just sent a tyrant dragon flying into ANOTHER HEMISPHERE? I’m pretty sure he was levitating in the air for a hot minute there too, what the hell is that about? Yeah I GET some people are secretive about their powers. No he doesn’t have to tell everyone what he can do - hey, that’s not the point I’m trying to make here. I can read the room and I can tell that ALL OF YOU wanted to say SOMETHING about it but instead you were just all haha, wow, you’re so cool. Anyway let’s catch something for dinner :) No - no of course I don’t think there’s a more responsible way to respond to him saving our asses on a mission we were clearly unprepared for. You’re not getting it- god I should have known better to try to talk about this after you guys started drinking. Come on. Barzard, think about this for a second. We were shooting the breeze and eating and all of a sudden he got up and said. ‘wow Darrel that was some great stew, thanks a lot. I gotta get going, just got word that I got something to do back in Danafall, can’t miss it! Bring back Kitty for me.’ And then you lot let him WALK OFF into the woods WITHOUT HIS HORSE with little more than a ‘see ya when we get back!’ Did you see a letter dropping from the sky because I sure as hell didn’t! Where is he getting a message from? Why does he think going off on his own without transportation is gonna get him back to Danafall more efficiently- Barzard why are you laughing.” “Because I forgot! I forgot- damn, it’s hilarious! How could you forget something like that…aaa, life really goes on. You’re not familiar with our grand master, so none of it’s gonna make sense, really. No matter how I explain it. So just roll with it, mkay?” “Your grand master? What does that kid have to do with wait, so the grand master handpicked him to help us out with our dragon problem? That actually explains a few things…” “Mmm, explains more than you think!” “… I’m never getting a straight answer about this am I. God… at least tell me you have a good idea what he left so abruptly for so I know you’re not just completely unconcerned for his sanity.” “Aaaa, Liz probably got back early from her mission. He’s eager to hear all about it. ‘Always better when she tells it!’ He says.” “Ooookay. And. Who’s that?” “His girlfriend. Though she’s still getting used to us calling her that, hehe.” “Wow. Didn’t think it was possible but I am even MORE confused.” “You’ll see if you ever visit Danafall.” “Ugh… if I didn’t know better I’d say that kid was created by the supreme deity herself. That’s the only way to explain how this confusing fuckup of a day could have happened.”

NnT AU where the Supreme Deity fucked up her curse and instead of just reviving Meliodas everytime he died, the curse also duplicated him like Hydra heads. Everytime one of him dies, he wakes up with another one of him beside him.

By the time the manga starts, there exists a small army of Meliodasses in Britannia. You could make up a village consisting of just him.

There’s still only one Elizabeth though, so they all stay together.

When he’s taken in by Liones, Baltra has to build a new city block/area/district just to fit him.

The good news is, Elizabeth always has like 10 Meliodasses protecting her, making her pretty much untouchable. The bad news, there is not enough alcohol in the entirety of Britannia to quench the thirst of the Meliodas Army.

˖ ࣪ ، ◞ せ⌇ SWEET TALK. featuring choso.

↻ choso lives for one thing ; to make sure his precious girlfriend is never unsatisfied.

tags : cunniligus, dirty talk, body worship, male masturbation, overstimulation, squirting, fingering, mentions of face sitting, feral choso // wc. 0.7k

author's note : i lowkey wanna thank @toadtoru for sending in an ask about this before i even posted it, because i used some of those ideas to improve on this :3 in true homage to my username choso is a complete slut in this lolsies ;) one more to go and this event is finished, thanks for sticking around for THIS long i love everyone here >o<

this work is NSFW. minors and ageless blogs DO NOT INTERACT.

if there’s one thing CHOSO firmly believes in, it’s that you aren’t just his girlfriend, but some supreme deity from heaven above. it sounds completely ridiculous, but he believes it more than anything, especially in moments like this. 

you just look so beautiful above him on the couch, thighs parted slightly and fingers caressing the sensitive mound in between your legs, head tipped back and lips parted in a silent ‘o’ as your toes curl into the carpet. angelic, he thinks, and he can’t wait to receive permission to touch you.

“choso…” your voice is smooth like butter yet sweet like caramel, and choso can feel his cock begin to press up against his slacks. “c’mere.”

yes. that’s all he needs before he’s eagerly crawling in between your legs to lap at your cunt, fingers digging into the fat of your thighs as he pulls them apart in earnest. “shit… missed me, did she?” his rambles are fueled by pure lust and delusion, and as he eats you out, choso begins to talk into your cunt. “missed her too… poor baby can’t go too long without her sweet boyfriend, huh…”

fingers tangle in his dark locks as you pull him closer, effectively muffling his ramblings by grinding your lower half on his tongue. the way he eats you out is feverish, his wet muscle alternating between your inflamed clit and pulsing hole interchangeably. and choso can’t help himself from getting fired up by your lewd display too, his own hips grinding down onto  the couch as he finds solace in between your legs. 

you, on the other hand, are positively reeling, legs twitching uncontrollably as choso continues to make a mess of your poor cunt. you wish you could return to him the same pleasure tenfold, but all you can do is sit and take it, helpless to his ministrations. “cho, cho, ‘s too much, baby, s-slow down…” 

begging is futile. choso is hypnotised, his own eyes rolling into the back of his head in an immediate reflection of your own reaction. “sorry baby, can’t, you taste s’good, don’t wanna…”

neither of you are in your right mind, but choso especially. when you cry out from orgasm for the first time, he barely takes note, his tongue on your clit never letting up as he brings two fingers to the entrance of your weeping cunt. the other hand previously on your thigh is now shoved into his boxers, and he’s fisting himself just as quickly as his fingers begin to plow your pussy. 

he’s killing you, but you love it. his brown eyes peek up in between your legs, and you just catch his expression, pupils dilated with lust as he watches you twitch above him. he mumbles something onto your clit before he’s licking and kissing it again, and you begin to think you might actually die. 

“c’mon, baby,” he groans, hips thrusting forward into his palm as he continues to eat. “c’mon baby, gimme another one– fuck, please, please…”

“choso, i can’t…” you truly believe that, given the way he’s already on his way to giving you another orgasm in the short span of five minutes. but he needs it so bad, needs you to cum for him so bad that he speeds up, thumb now joining his tongue to stimulate your clit in unison. “choso!”

“that’s it, baby, that’s it, oh, she’s close, isn’t she?” you can barely believe that he’s treating your pussy like its own person, but fuck is it turning you on. you hiccup pitiful whimpers as your thighs begin to tremble again, knees closing inwards and trapping choso’s head in between your legs.

if he were to die in this position, he wouldn’t mind. your release sprays his lips in repeated spurts, juices dribbling down his chin and some even dripping onto the flared head of his cock. it’s that which tips choso over the edge, and he’s spurting ropes onto the carpet, his own eyes finding the back of his head rapidly as his nose jerks against your clit.

“baby…” he stares down at the mess he’s made on the floor and then back at you, who’s laying spread eagle on the couch, chest rapidly rising and falling. “you gotta sit on my face next time.”

Nanashi headcanons ⁉️⁉️⁉️

• Nanashi gets attached to people fairly quickly, despite being someone with a cold exterior. Arthur can be an example of this.

• He likes rice, He can eat it with anything and will eat it with any kind of spices and side dishes.

• He and Mortlach became friends during their mission, Mortlach likes to chat with him despite his awkward responses.

• His hair tangles easily, especially when he wakes up. Arthur brushed his hair only one time and that was because he needed help with a knot. Needless to say it was very painful.

• He is really curious about how the actual fuck Orlondi ended up looking like a flying meatball with a bob cut but he keeps it to himself since he doesn’t really know how to even ask that.

• A much younger Nanashi had the bad habit of fighting with any creature that piqued his interest. Has he changed? no. Is he more careful now? yes.

• Probably has some really fucked up religious traumas and doesn’t really like to talk much about the Supreme Deity. He feels as if She is hearing him.

"Greetings, mortals. You have been graced with the divinity of the Gods---"

"Now hold on just a second there, buster."

"What is this?"

Zamasu immediately readied himself into a battle stance when he heard a unfamiliar voice of a female. When he turned to the source it was... a group of four and... Goku Black?

"Writer! Why didn't you tell us you were back in the tumblrverse? You really had us worried, you know."

"Yeah, the least you could of done was to let us know you were back at least. So this is who you've decided to hang out with now?"

Hang on guys, I already wrote the explanation post as to where I disappeared to, you guys know what happened, it was out of my control.

"Let me at the bastard who dared try to fuck with you, I'll rip 'em to pieces with my Tanzarine Trombe!!"

"Please, settle down White Heart. Let us be glad that the writer who took care of us has returned. Surely that should be enough, no?"

"Ah, so these are the 'Goddesses' Black was referring to. So the tales of your exploits were indeed true, writer."

Yep, that's right, Zamasu. These were the 'deities' I had been managing before I found you.

"It is a pleasure to meet the four of you, welcome to the realm of the Gods. I am Justice given form, I am the world. The most noble, splendid, Immortal, and supremely powerful God, Zama---"

"Sheesh, you talk too much. You ramble on like your average video game villain."

"These were the ones I was training with. They certainly know how to pull their punches, so I invited them here."

"Not that you gave us much of a choice, Black. You destroyed several cities just to get our attention, you bastard!"

"Regardless. Welcome to our realm, you four. Grace us with your names."

"I am CPU Purple Heart of Planeptune."

"CPU Black Heart of Lastation. I really am the best in every way."

"CPU White Heart of Lowee. Mess with me and I'll freak you up so bad your ass will be grass!"

"And I am CPU Green Heart of Leanbox. Quite possibly the most mature and most beautiful of us four~"

Zamasu however, needed to take note of Green Heart in particular...

"I did not expect someone to wear such... inappropriate, attire. You call yourself a Goddess yet you dress like a heathen."

"Excuse me?"

"Hah! Take that, Thunder Tits! I like this green guy already."

"Quite. Regardless. It is good to finally be back with you, Writer. Please look after us well alongside your new friends."

"So long as you continue to break my body and bring it to it's limits of strength, you can stay with us. Zamasu will provide for us."

"Only if you don't destroy the realm, mortals. Black, I expect you to keep an eye on them. Repairing our Divine Utopia is not a cheap endeavour."

Chapter 9 and 10

Heyo folks taking a @journeythroughjourneytothewest

Had to take a break from book club last week, burn out was very bad. But I've had a week to relax, celebrated my birthday and slept most of the day lol. Let's get back into Journey to the West

First: Chapter 9.

We finally meet our Monk and learn the story of his family!

We don't spend a lot of time learning about them (minus his Dad, gets a thumbs up from me. Kind to all and easy going enough to be like "I got hit by a ball-- oh I'm married now? Okay cool". Like talk about a shotgun wedding), but we do see little bits that remind me of our Monk. He does share his kindness with his Dad, and I genuinely think his anxiety is from his mom. I'll talk about her in a minute because she is a whole other thing.

My one question is... wouldn't other officials notice that Liu Hong, essentially becoming Chen E, had no idea what he was doing??? He went on business trips, did no one recognize he wasn't who he said he was????? I mean you would think anyone who took the exams with him who got positions would be like "uh... that's not him tf??". Or they just did not care. Who knows at this point. Apparently he had Six Eared Macaque level disguise skill, rolled a nat 20 in bullshitery.

Now. Lady Yin. The poor lady went through hell for over 18 years. She had to watch her husband get murdered, had to abandon her baby, and had to play wife to a murderer. Even when her husband came back... I'm not surprised she still ended up passing. That's a lot of guilt (and I'm sure Liu Hong was not kind to her) on her mind for a LONG period of time, nearly two decades. I wish there was a happy ending for the family but I get why it ended how it did, knowing what depression and anxiety can do to people.

Now our baby Monk. Our Xuanzang. I am so proud of him for being as brave as he was. This recently turned 18 year old did everything he could to help his family. Licking his grandma's eyeballs was...a choice. But it was for a good cause so good on him. I can see why he was a good choice as the Scroll Pilgrim.

And as promised, a sketch of Xuanzang

And as a bonus baby Monk with a doggo

But now we move to Chapter 10.

...I legit got annoyed going thru the debate between the fisherman and woodman. Like it went on far longer than it should have. I'm sure there was a profound moment that we're supposed to glean from it but I just wasn't receptive to it. Maybe I'll read it again.

Anyway.

I have been doing some looking into of Chinese historical heroes (I desperately want to read Romance of the three kingdoms, and I need more reading material about folk heroes and heroines) so seeing some references to the stuff I learned made me happy. There was mention of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang and the painting of The Emporer's Generals on the doors (supposedly the Tang dynasty is where this practice was first used. A few three kingdom folks also get this treatment as door gods, or menshen, along with other important heroes and deities. Makes me wonder if the Emperor essentially deified his Generals and Wei Zheng. How does Heaven handle that?)

Fun fact! In my jttw x mythology story Wukong will work with Asena, mythical wolf mother of the Ashina Clan of Gokturks. Guess which dynasty of China had to deal with them a lot? :)

Anyway.

I've also come to the conclusion that Dragons just like to fuck around and find out. Like, the Dragon King just goes against heaven's orders to spite a very accurate fortune teller, does not even THINK of the consequences, and is surprised Pikachu face when he gets in trouble. Also not sure why he thought appealing to an earthly emporer would save him from THE SUPREME DAOIST DEITY'S JUDGMENT. Like, y'all, I'm beginning to think dragons just don't give a crap or just don't think. Got what he deserved for being dumb. Did the emporer make promises he shouldn't have? No doubt, you don't promise supernatural beings anything because it will make you want to die if they catch wind of you breaking promises, regardless of nationality. Did he deserve what he got? .... I mean historically probably but in the sense of this story, no.

I find the Tang dynasty interesting (because it gave us a certain Empress and had some fun female warriors, like Taizong's sister, who helped her father found the dynasty) and I can definitely thank jttw for getting my attention about it.

I think that's all I have as far as thoughts. And I apologize if my rambles just jumped around too much lol.

Over and out ✌️

[7-oh-ta1]

Hum hum so I'm not 100% finished w totk yet, but I've done the majority of the main quests and found all the geoglyphs... I don't know if it's me being an old fan sourpuss, but even tho the gameplay is really fun and I'm gonna be playing this forever......... you remember how everyone crapped on botw's story for being too short? Well oh my god. I. Are we actually enjoying the Zonai story rn ? 😭 I want to like it so much, but I already don't really like what they did with the Zonai, these godlike beings that came to the surface the same damn way the hylians did and the Minish did too and being worshipped immediately (big fuck you to Hylia) and then those godlike beings gain supreme control over them in government as well?? With insane OP powers?? And I'm supposed to LIKE those characters??? The rest of these supposed godlike being just fucked off somewhere pfft okay. That definitely doesn't leave a big gaping hole in Rauru's story because why the hell is he busy holding dominion over the Hylians? What are his character motivations? Fuck all to do with his people that's for sure !!!! He just wants ultimate rule over the Surface, abusing his unchecked OP powers to forcibly unite the continent into Hyrule and Ganondorf is the bad guy...? For not giving up his country to Rauru? For also wanting control over Hyrule, the EXACT THING RAURU IS DOING?

Meanwhile, I was so excited for Sonia because she's!!!! Sksw!Zelda & Link's not TOO distant descendant!! When we found out she & Rauru founded Hyrule, I thought omg! It's a very new country, so she's going to like a people's queen, just like botw!Zelda is now! A queen who gathers and hunts with her people (as her official art shows her with a basket of berries), and takes good care of them alongside them! It's a monarchy in infancy, so that is not at all farfetched. And it matches the fact that Hylians are very much like little toddlers you have to keep an eye on. And the Hylians are HER responsibility as a descendant of the Goddess...

BUT... instead they already have a castle (Zonai built) and they already have a standing military (against who? Oh yeah, they are conquering all the land to forcibly unite it) and they live in luxury and sip tea in their fucking garden all day. When Rauru does hunt, it's FOR FUN, AND Sonia drags him back to the castle. Wtf???? Also Sonia is little more than eye candy on Rauru's arm?? 😭😭 That was the biggest disappointment. It's made VERY clear that HE is the king and she sits beside him. Why is there misogyny in early Hyrule?? Their deities are women or women-coded, no men at all???? Why is Sonia not the leader of her people and instead its her goat husband?? There's one scene of their "court" where Ganondorf and Rauru talk, and the entire scene, Sonia just sits there with doe eyes and a warm smile. Not one word the entire scene.

That's just the first of my grievances with the story. I really really enjoyed the story of botw. But this isn't me being like, bitter that things are different. I genuinely really disliked the pacing and story this time around :/

[fairhelios]

CLAPS HANDS TOGETHER…….. as a goddess, does mael have any patrons? any temples dedicated to him? does anyone pray to him? how would he react if someone were to do just that?? ( an ages ago ask! )

ok! so, mael is represented by the sun if we translate things like that. his older brother, ludociel, says that humans worshipped the goddesses ( and that it went to their heads ), but in the end, goddesses are more like angels than they are Actual Deities. because the deities of the world ( the demon king, the supreme deity ) are capable of absolutely nuking even the strongest members of their respective groups ( meliodas and elizabeth ). it is by the will of the supreme deity that “the four archangels” even HAVE all the power they display, as she bestowed them with “grace”. mael, the sun, is strongest at noon, as his grace amplifies his power respective to the time of day ( meaning he’s most vulnerable at midnight ). ludociel’s grace is called “flash” and it seems like super-speed and i’m sure it does other things but do i really know ... no. sariel is “tornado”, capable of commanding the winds. tarmiel is “ocean”, which is exactly what's on the label, but they’ve got this Bass Boosted shit because of the will of a REAL GODDESS. this makes the supreme deity mael's own patron, because she's the patron of the entire goddess race.  

despite not being real gods, even other members of the goddess clan have worshipped mael. as the strongest of the archangels, the goddess warriors pray to him when they go into battle ( and ask him for salvation when they die ) and that’s supremely fucked up, because fucking hell, he reveled in that. and worse it was uhh, well, when he was a kid, he didn’t know how to fight and he didn’t have that power and he was looked down on but now that he has power and worship, things got messy as heck. because he liked that. he liked having people grovel and worship the spaces he was in even if he was only there for a moment and it's all this super mega maladaptive response to being picked on as a kid? mael get therapy challenge... 

there are definitely temples that were dedicated to the four archangels, although they’re in ruins now, and people don’t pray to goddesses anymore. while mael misses that, he also knows deep down that it was so BAD for him and he’d be really thrown off if someone did that to him in the present like holy shit? he's not an idiot, he knows it was bad and it made his mental state worse in a manic sort of way, and he doesn't want that 

tldr mael sure was worshipped once he got power and he let that get to his head and no one stopped him from behaving badly and so essentially it was like he was being praised for actually being a literal fuckign monster, and that’s wrong.

[okami-zero]

Okay...so did The Dark Inside...

Went in blind, only got knocked off once.

And a lot of things make sense now.

And I feel bad for the Ascians (except Fandaniel, he can get bent for eternity). While I feel bad for them, they were still assholes. And they (Ancients/Ascians) actually fucked up so bad! And didn't even realize it! O.O Gonna go under a cut cause spoiler-y.

Okay, so I know I have more stuff to see, but my initial impression is thus:

The Ancients created Zodiark to rewrite creation so they could avoid the Final Days. And in so doing, and the second way he was used, they unintentionally made him something akin to a lynchpin of creation. Which is why Hydaelyn couldn't out and out kill him, as it would undo the unfuckening. But she couldn't let him keep being used as a vending machine with souls as coins, so she split him (and the star, by extension).

NOW, I know I am missing parts. But that is how my perception sits.

Also, the Ancients were...supremely arrogant, but... in a naive sort of way? Like, it makes sense based on what their society was like and the powers they commanded (and don't get me wrong, everyone being provided for and all is fucking awesome), but when something entirely outside their experience occurred, it seems they instantly went panic mode. Which, yes, an understandable reaction. But did any of them try to study the phenomenon at all? (Or could they, given that it was their own Creation magic going apeshit?) Could they not have tried to create something to help them study and discern where this was coming from (and I now have a theory on THAT) instead of going, "Nah, fam let's make a deity that'll rewrite creation and make it ao the bad shit won't happen, then find some sapients without magic to feed him so we can bring our back our friends we had to sacrifice to make him" (that arrogance again).

I might be over simplifying and missing things but I feel like I have a better grasp of the few bits I have been given. A lot of this is speculation, mind you, I know I have much more to see.

I just needed to get this out of my head because I am mentally kermitflailing as pieces are shifting in my head.

I also may have got some cool screenshots. Didn't used /gpose, just some camera angles and hiding the UI. X3

[krzys2000]

Behold! @fancycat-thesilvertux My muse strikes again!

But First things first:

1) Pigsy and Tang are not surprised they are hardened Mk veterans (there is little terror  about how Monkey  king and Monkie kid chaotic energy feeds of each other)

2) Sandy was surprised but he goes with flow easily

3:1) Demon Bull King and Princes Iron Fan fell like they shouldn’t be surprised but they are (they know Wukong from his youth)

3:2) They are torn about Red involvement with monkie price pranks. On one hand he was heroic (disappointed maybe), one second hand he prevented new rampage (proud), on third hand he didn’t warm them when they were target of pranks (little betrayal mixed with huge amount of pride --> demons can be weird)

3:3) About Monkie Kid they now have enormous amount fear and respect for him and arts (And are fucking glad they made peace with monkie crew*mostly kid*)

Now for new things

Somebody informed Xiaotian about tradition of April 1st (April fools). *cough* It was Mei*cough* and Now Mk has designated yearly all the realms prank day.

Heavens fucking panics and first and them despairs because nothing they do will prevent pranking that day. But hey look on positives they have entire year to prepare read:bunker down, barricade, hide and so on.

That poor naive fools nothing will save them. There is no hope, There is no escape and THERE IS NO MERCY.

Xiaotian recruited Macaque to their duo (now trinity) of prankster gods where Monkie Prince reigns SUPREME. (Michou is fucking glad because as he don’t fuck it up he is safe from pranks)

And if heaven thought that Monkie Kid and Monkie Dad were bad before, think again. Now that Mac is recruited even most basic pranks cause levels of chaos never seen before Not that Mac or Mac and Wukong or Wukong alone could cause that. There is reason that Monkie Prices is boss and they are his left and right hand

Mei and Red son were conscripted as minions. They though about protesting being called minion but in that moment they renumbered what was like being on receiving end of Wukong and Mk pranks. They decided that being minion of Trickster GODS is promotion and good thing.

About month and half before April’s Fools various deities and demons are going underground en masse. Not that it helps them or anything (if Chaos Trinity wants to find and prank you they will and nothing will stop them) but they hope that in meantime prankster Supreme (Mk) will find different target he wants to prank.

Joke on them with his Wukong’s and Mac’s clones they can prank everybody.

All defences are broken, all hiding places found out, all obstacles defeated, and all targets are pranked

Coincidentally Pigsy’s place have enormous amount of pilgrims for 15 days (April 1st, week before and after) that pay thousand times the price as tip.

Nezha was given head ups (Xiaotian cub monkie eyes were hyper effective *heavens had no warming*) and now ever year April 1st is his free day. That day every years (but only on April first) Erlang Shen is his substitute as head of Mk department (Nezha: payback is a bitch)

he needs a break

What are your honest thoughts on the thing I found on Asura and Taishakuten?

(A TLDR is at the end, this very quickly turned into a rant, hope you don't mind. I said some things.)

Lots of shit to unpack there I'll say that first XD.

Reading articles like this is one of my favorite pastimes but damn, know what I mean? Shouldn't be surprised at the numerous symbolism and religious references, how long it really stretches back; Buddhism has loads to unravel, and the lore is miles long thanks to the historical "changes" throughout the centuries. Makes sense, things change and slowly get lost to time, bound for some grey areas.

Taishakuten seems to act douche supreme both in game and canon mythology. Surprised to find out he was a high-class god of war himself, I can already tell its complicated, like how a majority of myths like to be.

I respect how the original stories reflect in game, intentional or not, they did good research. Gotta gets some things correct.

Despite this, its overall logic is pretty ridiculous. And I am not talking about magic.

The betrayal for one thing, is weird. From how it was set up, the deities were on decent terms, until the whole, Taishakuten stealing Asura's daughter incident. From what I understand he just took her out of the blue? What is the reason exactly? Because Asura wanted her to marry Taishakuten? Asura already wanted her to marry him, it looks like he already knew that too. So, what was the purpose of the sudden kidnapping? It was absolutely useless, the idol master of your people, a literal leader of heaven just outright taking you like that. Away from your loving family and household. I am doubtful Sachi much appreciated it. And what about her feelings as well? No say at all. It doesn't mention anywhere she didn't want to marry Taishakuten, and I'm confident it was hammered in her head how glamorous of a god he is. I don't know how it works in Hindu or India, my knowledge on their cultures and structure is very vague (I know their gender roles are different from America's), but really?

Seems to mention it as a law thing in their realm.

It barely makes any sense. Because Asura did permit him? Did he have second thoughts at the last minute? Read everything I said above.

On another hand what is up with myths and abducting people? Stealing and shitting on brides like what the fuck? Crazy mythos. I don't blame Asura for his anger, Taishakuten asked for war on that one.

But man, I quickly cringed when I was nearing toward the end.

The part about ants confused me the most. So what? Asura, seriously, this man stole your child and raised a whole ass army against you for next to no justifiable reason when you understandably tried to return her home, but now you're magically showing him "sympathy" when he "mercifully" stopped to avoid stomping on ants?

Stomping on ants? On ants?!

Asura, I love you; I really do, your characterization is one of the most interesting and expressive plots in the series. And myths are far from realistic, that is why they called them myths. But they all run on some sort of common ground and humane moral telling, making them a joy to read and relatable enough. Kidnapping is evil, your child was taken, ok that's bad. We all agree you know that's some evil stuff, even for a "demon". And now, you're going after the King who wronged you, perfectly logical and fair. Well-deserved on Taishakuten's part in all this.

But while your daughter was being kidnapped (A victim of "indecent conduct" in other versions of the story mind you), you stopped in the middle of a damn war after her...because you considered ant life more valuable...literally just fucking ants.

You were more afraid of crushing ants, mere bugs who literally got no beef with you, then rescuing and saving your daughter. Your own flesh and blood.

Wow, I never thought I'd drop all interest in a character from only a single sentence.

Maybe it is best for Sachi to stay far as fuck away from every single one of you. Ya'll got issues. Issues she doesn't need to deal with.

TLDR; Asura did nothing wrong, all he wants is his family back together and Taishakuten needs a wakeup call to rot in hell. But everything is ok now because an ant colony saved the world. Somehow.

Greek Mythology!Duwang Gang AU: Headcanons

TW // sliiight nsfw-ish or non-con hints in dionysus' part. come on it's dionysus.

Today I offer you these babies. Tomorrow who knows. Hope you enjoy, I had fun with writing these.♡

Greek Mythology AU: Duwang Gang Headcanons. [includes: Higashikata Josuke, Nijimura Okuyasu, Kujo Jotaro, Hirose Koichi, Yamagishi Yukako, Kishibe Rohan]

WORD COUNT: 2k

HIGASHIKATA JOSUKE as APOLLO

Seen as the most beautiful god, Apollo has been recognized as a god of archery, music and dance, truth and prophecy, healing and diseases, the Sun and light, poetry, and more. One of the most important and complex of the Greek gods, he is the son of Zeus (Joseph) and brother of Artemis (Holly). As the protector of young, Apollo is concerned with the health and education of children.

He's seen every early morning, on his chariot, to bring the sunlight up in the sky, all over the Olympus. Josuke's the dream of many nymphs, who look at him from afar, singing songs for the god with their sweet voices, a sound so sweet, a sound so celestial... which is covered up by Apollo's voice fucking around the Olympus with young Dionysus (Okuyasu), pulling pranks on Poseidon (Jotaro) or getting drunk.

You're the most envied creature out of everyone in the Olympus, because Josuke only has eyes for you. Envious nymphs stare at you, and comment on you, trying to convince themselves that they're way better than you are.

"Don't listen to their envy and their insults, they don't know how to cope with the fact that I have clear preferences..." he'd say, caressing your cheek and neck. "This is what poisons relationships and romances... envy... jealousy... but we don't have these useless problems, do we, love...?"

His relationship with other gods on the Olympus is usually fine, but it's not like he cares about hiding his feelings. Almost everyone who knows Josuke, will get to know after not even a week that the god is crushing on you, and that he wants to marry you. You sure hope he's not gonna behave the same way he did to Daphne...

It seems that he has healing powers, and if you happen to not to be a deity, he'll gladly use them on you, Josuke wouldn't forgive himself if anything happened to you.

NIJIMURA OKUYASU as DIONYSUS

Surely not known for his capability to reasonate, Dionysus was the ancient god of wine, fertility, ritual madness, theater, and ecstasy. The god is shown to be a beardless, sensuous, naked or semi-naked youth. Though Dionysus was mostly a kind and generous deity, he could be cruel when he needed it. For some reason, Aphrodite (Yukako) doesn't want to get close to him. She looks scared.

He doesn't do much, during the day. Let's say his favourite thing are feasts. Not really chaste ones, to be completely true. Okuyasu's mind is almost totally hedonistic, and won't feel guilty just because he spent a day watching dancing maenads and had fun teasing them with his Thyrsus instead of caring about whatever mortal dude needed him on Earth. Most of the time he's drunk, but Josuke has his back for some reason.

Many say they don't envy you for being the god's favourite creature, but you don't really care. You enjoy lying down with Okuyasu, caught in a ecstatic feeling as he turns you on with his touch and teaseful words whispered at you.

"Tell me, is it embarrassing for you to be the only one to lie beside me during feasts?" He'd run his lustful gaze and hand all over your body as he asks so, and smirk a little. "No? It isn't...? Sounds like you really like it instead, to be completely honest. Good... really good, in fact. Kiss me now."

He doesn't really have a brilliant relationship with other deities, apart from Apollo. He sometimes sees Echo (Koichi), but not much more. Still, everyone knows it when he has someone he's interested in. The man becomes possessive, Okuyasu will make sure everyone knows you're his. He might give a demonstration during feasts.

He likes to feed you grapes, and in case you liked wine, Okuyasu would want to hold the glass for you as you drink. He likes to do this for you, and you don't mind letting him.

KUJO JOTARO as POSEIDON

Poseidon is the violent and ill-tempered god of the sea. He is nowadays known exclusively as a sea god, but in ancient times, he may have been the god of the earth and fertility or even the supreme god of the sky. His huge height and strength come from his Titan parents, Cronus and Rhea. What he can't acquire with romance and gentleness, he does with violence and craftiness.

He sometimes uses the sea as a coping mechanism for his tiring life. Jotaro doesn't find his ocean so bad to be in, he concentrates and spends his time doing stuff gods... do? What does he really do, is not clear? Apollo and Dionysus tried to stick their heads into the water to spy on him several times, without any result. It's not like he's so happy when mortals need his help, but he can't pull back from his duty.

Poseidon probably noticed you because you weren't bugging him for pointless stuff. He likes pleasures too, like most of the deities do really, he just needs to find the right creature for him. Jotaro doesn't enjoy partners who talk too much.

"Don't worry about being a bother for me. You're the first one who isn't truly bothering me, I take it as a goal by now." he'd say, after he closed you in a bubble in order to bring you under the sea with him. "I never dare to show my realm to people who I judge as annoying, remember that."

It's not like he doesn't have a good relationship with other deities, he basically doesn't really care. He'll just be happy with being under the ocean whenever he feels Josuke and Okuyasu approaching, or not to be there during Apollo and Calliope (Rohan) debates. Give him some deserved peace and an ocean and he'll be grateful forever.

If Jotaro lets you in his private place which is the ocean, consider yourself special for him, for he hates having people there, above all people who are there for him purposely.

HIROSE KOICHI as ECHO

Echo is a mountain nymph, or oread. The myth says that Echo offended the goddess Hera by keeping her in conversation, in order to prevent her from spying on one of Zeus' lovers. To punish him, Hera deprived him of speech, except for the ability to repeat the last words of another. Because of this, his good heart is often misunderstood, but he managed to be appreciated nonetheless.

Koichi would rather have no conversations, for he's not able to say nothing more than the last words his interlocutor said. But he's down to make people understand what he wants to say, by writing it down or through gestures. Apollo approached him once, and brought Dionysus along. He doesn't know how to feel about hanging with gods, but since his issue isn't a problem to them, he'll keep them around. Until they misbehave...

When he gets to know you and notices you aren't willing to exclude him for he doesn't talk properly, his heart melts. Echo wants to spend most of his time with you now, since you make him feel comfortable about the problem Hera caused him.

"I love you, I love you, love you, love you, you, you..." he'd repeat, after you told him that. When he wants to say something like this, you say it for him, so that he can repeat it and say it as well. "You're important to me... important to me... important to me... to me... to me... me..."

Look, he's trying his best, really. Deities aren't known for their inclusive ways, and when he asked you if it was because of his past, you quickly said it wasn't. Nobody cared about it there. Deities were like that with every nymph. Echo had a chance to build up a good relationship with Calliope (Rohan). The muse taught him a lot.

He has fun bringing you to places where your voice echoes, to make you judge who does it better between him and the nature. Needless to say, Koichi always wins.

YAMAGISHI YUKAKO as APHRODITE

Aphrodite was known primarily as a goddess of sexual love, beauty, fertility and even occasionally presided over marriage. Even prostitutes considered Aphrodite their patron. She's had many mortal lovers, and none of them should have ever dared to make her upset. She won't be down for forgiveness, she's really never been. Still, Aphrodite found herself often in trouble due to her personality.

Differently from many other deities, Yukako's real fun consisted in watching humans' love stories bloom and wither. Sometimes she was the reason, sometimes she wasn't. Mortals were so easy to play with. It was when she thought that playing gods was just as simple, that she got caught into a trap. Since that mistake, she decided she would have been amused enough to be happy by mortals' love stories.

Oh, Aphrodite's so used to creatures - above all gods - who tried to stick around her for her body only, so that when you give an appreciation for her intelligence, she'll remember it and love you forever. It's like you signed up a free trial to be loved.

"You know, it's difficult to make me feel love so strong I don't even think about the lustful part... but apparently you managed to do so..." she'd say, sitting in the calm forest as she hands you a flower. "It's good to know someone doesn't love you for your body only but for yourself as well."

Yukako's relationship with other deities and creatures is just... ambiguous? She may never judge what's behind everyone's gaze. Hatred? Love? Lust? Who knows. All she knows, is that the only sight of Dionysus makes the ground under her feet disappear in fear. Compared to him, she'll just be fine in everyone else's company.

Everything she does, it's for the good. If it happens to harm you, Yukako definitely didn't mean it. It'll be enough to tell her, and believe me, it won't happen again.

KISHIBE ROHAN as CALLIOPE

In Greek mythology Calliope is the muse who presides over eloquence and epic poetry. He's called the "Chief of all Muses". He's down to help every literate artist who needs him, gives inspiration and guides the mortals' talented hands, as far as they deserve his power. Calliope's used to be mentioned, and might happen to get upset if not. Even if he's only halfway a deity, he's known for his confidence.

The most famous out of the Muses, Rohan won't forgive anyone who's never heard about him before. He can be seen around Echo a lot lately, since he found the nymph's story interesting and won't hold back from inspiring a mortal with writing about what happened to Koichi. He's used to collect creatures' stories, in order to be written by someone who's talented enough to talk about them properly.

He probably got interested in your story first. Then, for some reason he grew possessive of it. Calliope won't let a mortal put their filthy hands on a story so pure. Let the Muse be the only one who can properly love you.

"This story of yours is so beautiful, I can never have enough... and it's mine only, is it, y/n? Is it?" he'd ask him forever until you answer yes, he'll find no peace at all. "Let me get inspiration from you. Let me be the only one who can properly appreciate your life... just like you deserve."

His relationship with other creatures and deities is... rather good? Rohan's used to have debates and discussions with Josuke, and most of the time they just disagree. Though, many envy his capability of being so creative and smart, mortal writers ask for his help several times. Aphrodite and him sometimes fight over Echo.

He'd write lots of poetries in order to edulcorate your feelings towards him and make you forgive him for his excessive possessiveness. Rohan often succeeds.

[elencelebrindal]

Honest Opinion - Lucifer

Hell yeah, Lucifero! 

Overall score (character, not looks): 10/10

The comparison is longer than my opinion on him for a reason: there is a little bit more background explanation than there was in my entries for Athena, Poseidon and Eris. It needed to be done. 

 Part 1

I almost gave him a lower score for the bad voice acting he had in the first Italian dub, but honestly? I can’t. I love this character. It’s an amazing antagonist and and a clever villain, that only lost because of “this is an anime, so the hero has to win against the villain”. 

He is evil, ruthless and vengeful, and uses other deities to his advantage, to have even more power at his disposal, instead of only counting on “lesser” people to aid him.  Also, he actively tries to get rid of his weakness - that being the Gold Cloths’ light - by killing the Gold Saints before appearing in person at the Sanctuary. Something I’ve almost never seen happen in anime, since villains generally show up and then try to destroy what could be a problem for them.  Loved it.  Lucifer tortures his victims, he’s vicious, and his capability only makes things even more terrifying. Not only that, but he surrounded himself with warriors who actually succeeded in slow down their opponents, to the point of only one Bronze Saint managing to be of help. 

On top of that, even though I have a weak spot for villain that are this sadistic and evil, I liked how he tried to plead at the end, clearly showing his fear op being plummeted once again in darkness. This made the character alive, instead of keeping him two-dimensional by only throwing in everyone’s faces his power.  I loved how perfectly he was depicted as a villain, with him looking amused at Athena’s suffering as she slowly sacrificed her life, but that’s not the only thing a villain should exist for and thankfully they gave him more than that. 

Obviously, the fact he targeted Athena and wanted her life in exchange for world salvation doesn’t make the slightest bit of sense, but what can we do, Saint Seiya keeps putting her even where she doesn’t belong. 

 Part 2 - Comparison with mythological character and biblical character

Yeah, you heard correctly. Lucifer isn’t just a - to make things short - fallen angel. 

In Greek-Roman mythology, Lucifer is a god of light, son of Eos and Astraeus. His name was given to Venus, and was either Phosphoros or Heosphoros. Though, Lucifer wasn’t adored as a deity in the Roman period, despite his planet being associated with lots of deities.  And honestly, if Saint Seiya had to put Athena in Lucifer backstory (which, again, is so fucking stupid), it would have been way better to use this version of Lucifer, instead of the biblical one.  But who am I to say this, just a humble wannabe blogger with a couple people reading my stuff. 

Now, for the most common knowledge, let’s address the elephant in the room first. Lucifer and Satan are not the same being. Even though they both represent Evil, they’re different: Satan wants to drag humanity into materiality, making everyone recognize themselves in the lower aspects of creation, want to bind humanity to Earth; Lucifer is the Devil, who wants to awaken humanity’s free will exalting pride and selfishness, the Tempter. 

Moreover, the term “Lucifer” only appears in the Old Testament when prophet Isaiah uses it for the king of Babylon, a city associated with sin and perdition. Because of that, and because of the Holy Scriptures, Lucifer was identified with the Satan of Job. 

There also exist a gnostic current that reinterprets Lucifer as salvific and liberating from God’s tyranny, since he was the one leading humanity to knowledge, opposed to the supreme god who wanted subjects and slaves. In this doctrine the name Satan disappears completely and the name Lucifer gets interpreted as “bringer of light”.  This current in particular can be used as a comparison with Lucifer in Saint Seiya, since he claims salvation of the world is possible as long as there’s a sacrifice. 

And of course, the most perfect comparison is the “classic” story, of him being rejected by God and thrown down to Earth. What’s important here is not confusing him with Satan, despite the similarities even in this particular situation: Satan was a beautiful and wise cherub, who’s fault was wanting to be superior to God; Lucifer was the perfect creature of God, superior to angels, who was thrown into Hell after refusing to adore Jesus Christ.  Let’s not get them confused, shall we? Following this, I can finally compare the original Lucifer with his counterpart: in short, not bad.  In long, in Saint Seiya, Lucifer was banished from heaven because of him declaring war against God, wanting to dominate all creation. Something that is not entirely wrong, since he was a rebel, but it’s also wrong enough for me to frown at his adaptation. 

[wylanvenk]

Alright, here we gooooo

Thanks to @uberimmortal for tagging me, I had a lot of fun coming up with answers for these 😄 Also sorry it’s been forever but I was in the middle of exam season hooray ahaha

1. Bazam! You just invented a new language! What is this language called and what is one unique aspect of this language?

My new language is called Marvaryan and its unique aspect is that only people fated to save someone’s life can speak it/ understand it. Does that make sense? Probably not.

2. What is something you like to snack on in the middle of the night when you can’t sleep and you’re five chapters away from the end of that damned story?

Alright so here’s the thing. I don´t leave my room during the night EVER, unless I’m literally dying to go to the bathroom. I’m not venturing out there in pitch dark honey, no way. And no, I´m not in fact 5 years old, shut up. So technically, no snack. If I wasn’t a chicken however, cashews :)

3. What show did you project on as an insecure youth and now fills you with shame and anxiety every time you hear it now?

Oh god that´s a hard question ahahah there’s nothing really coming to mind to be honest. Well actually probably star vs the forces of evil lmaooooo I never finished it but I was weirdly into it once upon a time and now I.....just can’t think about it.

4. Wowza! You’re such a cool person you’ve become a new deity! What are you the supreme being of?

Alright so I feel like I could give several different answers to this one ahaha but I’m going with goddess of found families. Imagine, for example, a group of people lost, alone, not fitting anywhere or just down on their luck and one of my powers would be to like twist the strings of fate a little bit to make sure all these people’s paths would cross and bam! found family. Finding the best people to “guide” together, depending on their needs and such. See what I’m getting at? Yeah. Another one that comes to mind would be something related to sleep/dreams.

5. What are some books/shows/music that you’re currently hyperfixating on so I can join you in your strange source of serotonin?

Love this question, perfect for me. Alright so I’m basically hyperfixating on the an for the game series at any given time, recently I had a nostalgic resurgence of my younger self love for the power of five by Anthony Horowitz (which literally nobody knows about). And also I’ve been getting more and more curious about the podcast The Magnus Archives, but I’m slightly reluctant to get into it because of the horror, as you may have deduced from the second question.

6. Football’s out, golf is out, every single sport is out. What new pastime takes over mundane society?

Fuck man, have you seen what’s mainly on my tumblr? Reading. 

7. If you have any fic outlets (ao3, ff.net, etc) feel free to drop them bc i’m going to support the shit out of you. This is not a question. (but really only drop this if you’re comfortable ajsksk i’m not gonna twist your arm lmao)

I got nothing sorry. Although I love writing, I’m more on the reader’s side.

8. You dream of silver and gold. The silver and gold love you. You love the silver and gold. But the silver and gold are liars and they want to take everything away from you, the dirty bastards. Now, what does the silver and gold represent?

..... damn. Getting real here uh? My high expectations in friendship or any other types of relationships really :)

9. You are a strong, independent bad ass individual who loves no man! Then that stupid fairy godperson whacks you with their magical pool noodle. Now you love ONE man. Who is this man?

Ethan Nestor. A youtuber I found out thanks to quarentine and honestly all I have to say is: “not all men” you’re right, Ethan Nestor would never do this.

10. In a show of great prowess, you stole the magic pool noodle and have cured yourself of the plague of love! Mystery man is no longer a threat! What is your first use of the magic pool noodle (world peace and world domination are not! options!)

Omg did you hear? Apparently Donald Trump and all other world leaders who share his ideology have suddenly given up power and confess to all the crimes they’ve actually comitted throughout the years... They were asked why the sudden change of heart but none of them was really able to explain what caused it. How odd.

11. Some would argue memories are all that we are. These people are full of shit :) If you lost all your memories, no strings attached to anything, what do you think your instincts would have you do with your life?

Well...find out what the fuck had happened and why my head was suddenly an empty void I guess. Not gonna lie I get pretty attatched to people so this would be quite the event™ and I have no idea how I would act tbh ahahah

12. But memories are still pretty cool so thank goddess we still have ours! Read the following words: honey, dusk, cosmos. What memory does each provoke in you?

Honey: Instantly reminded of when I was little and saw The Secret Life of Bees. I remember not quite catching all of it because again, I was pretty young, but the movie really stuck with me. Dusk: dusk reminds me of one particular car trip with my parents when we were returning from my grandparent’s house, the sun was setting through the middle of the trees, even though it still wasn’t quite dusk. Cosmos: going to the planetarium when I was young and just any night outside when I stretched my neck back and fell in love with the stars all over again.

13. The last photo of a physical object (people are not objects! heh) in your camera roll is what you have to eat for the rest of your life. What is your eternal dish?

Looks like my new diet is exclusively made of dental floss. Lovely.

14. Aha! You have discovered a rare breed of snails! You have two options: become one with the snails, or destroy their evil kind forever! What do you do? And why?

I’m not sure I can handle all that slime. Bye snails.

15. Thanks to your disgustingly superb actions, you are now a famous celebrity that everyone loves! What are some things you would like your following to know about you? (make it real, lads)

I’d make a terrible celebrity first of all. But this: I love my friends with my entire heart, it takes me a while to feel confident enough to share some things about me, hate feeling like I’m annoying people or that people are angry at me, and if I’m sleep deprived I became a not very nice human being.

I tag @idnis, @fahey, @mavencalore, @ronanlyneh and @ravenclairee. Have fun!

When you touch my weary head And you tell me everything will be all right You say use my body for your bed And my love will keep you warm throughout the night

Muriel woke to a supremely odd sensation. The sun was high and hot through the window. He must have been tired. He didn't generally sleep this late. This was well past "sleeping in".

He looked down, squinting, chin pressed to his chest. Celeste was between his legs, her chest against his stomach, running something across his torso. From nipple to nipple. He grunted, confused.

"Morning." She said, quiet, not ceasing.

He brought his hand up to hers, and she let him take it from her. He held the object in front of his face. One of his clay pieces. A fox. It was an older piece. One of the many that Asra had snagged from him years ago and kept in his little collection here in Nopal.

She sang, low, "The fox and his wife, without any strife, Cut up the goose with a fork and a knife..."

He shushed her, a finger at her lips. "Fox stayed home. And, unless you want me to fall back asleep, you have to stop."

She laughed. It was the long-standing family lullaby of choice. Asra had sung it to everyone at one time or another, and it just became a tradition. Muriel was as susceptible to succumbing to it as either of the girls, even singing it himself. He was unreliable when it came to the bedtime routine, passing out on the job.

His eyes wandered back up to the window. "How late is it?"

"Noon, maybe?" she said with a shrug.

"When is the last time we slept until noon?" he asked, rubbing a hand over his face. He reached up to place the little fox in the windowsill.

"Fucked if I remember."

He nudged her with his knee, and she disengaged from him, pulling the thin sheet around her naked body like a gown as she stood.

He sat on the edge of the bed, stretching. He cracked his neck from side to side, then twisted, popping his back. She looked on, wincing. He looked at her from the corner of his eye and laughed.

They chatted as they got ready for the day. About the girls, and work, his projects, Asra. He sat on the floor in front of her, she a kitchen chair, brushing his hair out and braiding it. "Nice to do this on someone who knows how to sit still and not cry like I'm murdering them." She said with a laugh. He gave a quiet, contented noise. He loved when she brushed his hair. She remembered a time when that was not the case. But, he was rather more pliant now than he had been.

They made breakfast together. It was too warm to consider cooking anything, so it was mostly fruit, cold cuts, cheese, nuts, and some crusty bread and butter.

They retreated to the back deck. It was warm, but there was some shade, so it wasn't unbearable. He had brought some of his woodworking tools to work on some little presents for the girls. She was reading some old journals that had been recovered from the palace, though she was still firmly restricted on what Muriel and Asra would allow her to read every day, afraid she'd be overwhelmed.

For the most part, they were genuine medical notes. A few sketches in the margins. Faces she recognized. Others she didn't. It was her writing, but it all felt very impersonal. A girl's handwriting. Curvy, loopy letters. At this point, she felt Asra and Muriel were making much ado about nothing. No headaches. She didn’t feel anything but irritation.  She hadn't suffered any pearl-clutching or fainting episodes. 

Muriel almost had, though, when she came across a short, but a clear, passage, detailing the loss of her virginity to a red-headed doctor that she worked with. The note was short and perfunctory. No declarations of love, or lifelong pledges of commitment. He had still choked a bit when he read it. She and Asra had both burst into uncontrollable laughter. After that, he asked to just hear the highlights, and for that particular memory to stay between the three of them.

She ran her fingers over a drawing in one of the margins, brow knitted. She knew this face as intimately as she knew her own, but she had no name for it. She sighed and turned the book to Muriel. "Long shot, but do you know who that is?"

He squinted at the page, then nodded, sitting back. "That's one of Lucio's guards. I didn't know him very well, but...he was nice. He used to run errands for you."

She turned the book back to herself, making a contemplative noise. "Do you know his name?"

"Aedan."

She rolled the name around in her mouth. It was just at the edge of her vision. On the tip of her tongue. It didn't click into place. She sighed throwing her head back, frustrated.

Muriel sensed it and stuck his hand out. "Give it here. You can look again later."

She rolled her eyes but relented. He laid the book down beside his chair and went back to his work.

She shook her head and stood up, he watched her as she went. Going from each of the little pots on the railing. Beautiful, healthy succulents. She busied herself taking cuttings and separating hens from the chicks. Something she could set by so the girls could help her plant them when they came. Some would need to be repotted, confined by their containers. Hearty little things and hard to kill, they were perfect starter plants for the girls.

It was almost evening, and she had made him commit to going into town for dinner. He was not thrilled by the idea, but, the idea of cooking was also unpleasant, so he relented. Nopal was much quieter than Vesuvia, so it wasn't a terrible prospect. Nobody knew him here, and not in the "look away and forget me" respect. They made their yearly trip, people fawned over Asra and Celeste with their "Oh, great Magician," and "Oh, great Enchantress," nonsense, and then they went home at the end of the week, no worse for wear.

They went to a small restaurant just off the town square. The sun was setting, and the sky was orange and purple, hazy clouds drifting slowly.

They sat at a cafe table. The restaurant must have had an excellent seafood vendor because they were presented with a mountain of crab.

It was cold, with warm butter and lemons. Muriel eyed it warily. It seemed like such a fussy food. He fumbled with a single leg, demolishing it, getting frustrated and abandoning the task. Celeste took it from him, eyebrow arched.

He watched her as she made quick work of the legs, totally ignoring the utensils they had been supplied. The meat slid cleanly from the shells, and she submerged them into the drawn butter. She speared a piece and fed it to him. He savored it. Sweet and briny. Pure luxury. "That's perfectly adequate." He said, smiling. "How'd you learn to do that?"

"Do what?" she said, taking a bite from her own small pile.

"Crack the crab like that?"

"Probably the same place I learned how to fish and hunt and cook. And we don't know where that was, so," She shrugged. "Maybe I'm just naturally talented."

He watched her face. She looked distant. They ate in silence for a while. Then, he ventured a question. "Do you want to know, about...before?"

She drew a deep breath. She replied, contemplative. "I don't know if any of it matters. It's not coming back. I have...so much. You don't remember everything about your childhood and what you do remember wasn't exactly happy." She raked a hand through her hair, looking off into the distance. "I am happy. I have a life that people only dream about having. I am so incredibly lucky. Every day that I am alive is a victory. It feels...ungrateful to look back and want something that I can't have. That I can't fix."

He reached across the table, and she put her hand in his, giving him a slight smile.

"It is okay for you to want things, Cela," he said, low and sweet. "All you have do is ask. I will go where ever and do whatever it takes. We all will. Just ask me."

She gave a weak half-smile. She felt tears pricking at the corners of her eyes, and reached up to wipe them away. She cleared her throat and shook her head. "That's a big ask. I don't know how many big gifts someone is allowed in life."

She had her family. Her friends. Her work. Her very life. She was so very loved.

He squeezed her hand, tilting his head. "You know none of us would be here if it wasn't for you, right? None of this...is possible without the sacrifices you made for us. I don't mean the little everyday commitments..." he tried to search for words. It was hard to encompass everything she had done. To elevate your spouse to deity status. Someone so domestic. But, she was. She was a savior. "You...don't do what you have done for...everyone, and not get to ask for something as simple as your past. I can't believe that."

She scoffed a bit, dismissive. "You act as if I did it all single-handed. I didn't do anything that you wouldn't have done for me. We take care of each other."

He closed his eyes. It was an argument he wasn't going to win. She could deflect praise as well as he could, if not better. "All I am saying is that you don't have a limit. You deserve to have what you want. And I will fight to make sure you get it. Because I love you. You are worth the fight."

She was well and truly crying now. He threw a fist full of coins and crystals on the table, more than enough to cover the bill. He pulled her up and into his chest, planting a kiss on the top of her head. He knew not to feel bad about the tears. She was just a crier when she was overwhelmed. "Let's go."

She nodded, sniffing. He lead them out of the square, towards the outskirts of town.

When they got back to the house, she had settled. She splashed water on her face and took her hair down. Muriel sat on the edge of the bed, arms outstretched. She came to him, sitting in his lap. She felt so small in his embrace. Her head was on his shoulder. He rocked her back and forth, holding her firmly against his chest.

"You're going to help me?" She said, almost a whisper, eyes closed.

"Of course." He replied, kissing her forehead. "We're going to figure it out. I promise."

She ran her hand over his chest, resting it over his heart. They rocked for a long while. She sang, quietly, to herself. "The fox went out on a chilly night, he prayed for the moon to give him light..."

He hummed along with her, joining her with a deep voice when they came to his particular favorite part. "...He ran till he came to his nice warm den, And there were the little ones, eight, nine, ten. Sayin' Daddy, Daddy, better go back again..."

He sighed, and Celeste felt it too. They missed Asra. Especially here. Whispers of him everywhere. They both felt homesick. And they felt guilty. Enjoying each other while he was at home. They were good as a pair, but better together. And Asra was still days away. He had the good sense to put a five-day limit on it. And that still felt too long. And Celeste felt it. Asra missed them too. They had been together for far too long. It had seemed like a practical arrangement, but now, they just wanted each other. 

"Do you want to call him?" Celeste asked.

Muriel nodded, making a quiet noise. Relieved that he wasn’t alone.
