Prompt 15 - Afterlife

@wolfstarmicrofic July 15, word count 510

He remembered falling. He seemed to fall forever into the darkness, and then everything was white. He remembered Harry’s smiling face and Bellatrix’s shouted words. Then nothing. 

Where he was now was just endless white. He’d tried finding the end of it, but it just went on and on. Eventually, he sat down. The floor being the only solid thing he could find. 

He stayed there for longer than he knew how to count. Oddly, he never got hungry or thirsty or had any other urges. He was still able to transform into Padfoot, which he’d checked once he’d stopped looking for the end of the white. He got used to the white and began to find it quite calming.

He was dozing sometime into eternity when the white changed. A small dot appeared and it slowly spread. He was transfixed as he watched grass and trees sprout out of nothing. Blue sky and sunshine flooded the white in front of him. But hard as he tried he couldn’t move any nearer to it. He sat down and huffed. 

He watched the trees swaying in the breeze he couldn’t feel. The sun moved slowly across the sky and just as it was setting someone cleared their throat. 

“Hello, sweetheart,” Sirius’s eyes welled up as he spun around at the familiar voice. His voice caught in his throat as he stumbled forward to the figure surrounded by the white. Sirius fell into Remus’s outstretched arms and inhaled the familiar scent of chocolate, cigarettes and cedar wood. 

“I’ve missed you so much,” He wept into Remus’s shoulder. Remus’s arms tightened around him, and he kissed the top of Sirius’s curls. 

“I’ve missed you too, sweetheart, so, so, so much.” Remus sighed, stroking his hand up and down Sirius’s trembling back. “That looks nice,” Remus tilted his head towards the forest. Sirius nodded. 

“It arrived just before you did. It’s only been completely white for me before now, but I can’t get to it,” He replied sadly. 

“Well, maybe we can try together?” Remus smiled down at him. Sirius noticed that Remus's face was no longer marred by the deep claw marks that had criss-crossed it since he was a teen. Remus took Sirius’s hand and began to lead him forward. 

Sirius looked at the darkening trees and caught sight of the full moon rising above them. 

Remus dropped his hand and was gone. In his place was the wolf, but the change had been instantaneous, with no pain and the wolf didn’t seem at all bothered that there was a human standing beside it. 

The wolf turned its enormous head to look at him and Sirius’s breath caught. Remus’s eyes stared back at him. He knew it was Remus looking at him and not the wolf by how kind the eyes were. He transformed into Padfoot, and they walked into the woods together, where they were met at the tree line by a magnificent stag and a tiny doe. All four of them walked into the forest and disappeared into their forever.

no matter what he tries, he can't get the eyes right.

SIMON BAKER in limbo (2023)

[zeravmeta]

yknow limbo works as such a fantastic complement to guda in the sense that both are lesser versions of their contemporaries but guda succeeds where limbo doesn't because guda is more of a nobody than limbo is. limbo is the villain meant to be defeated by abe no seimei and always exists solely in service to that role as the empty rumor of hatred that a rival holds a mere glory kill and thus limbo has never once won in his life, he is called the most pathetic human by koyanskaya because he is fundamentally incapable of change. guda in a similar vein is also the only master left at the start of the grand order and thus the only option available to save humanity, and multiple times throughout fgo gudas lack of experience is called out, culminating in the lostbelt arc where guda is guilt tripped about their journey by koyanskaya and kadoc insults them by saying that if guda could have done it, then feasibly the rest of team A even he himself could have also done it. what kadoc and the rest failed to understand there though is that. yeah, that's literally the point.

the thing is that even when drowned in the guilt of ending the lives of the people in the lostbelts, guda still does want to live. they may be fucked up with the sheer amount of curses and promises that their soul carries, they may be slowly turning into some kind of inhuman being, but guda at the end of the day really just wants to live, wants to keep going on adventures with the people they love, wants to remain human, and in that desire they stay human despite the fact. limbo was able to break ashiya doumans spirit with the simple admission that he would never surpass seimei, that all of his efforts would be for naught and despite his position and accomplishments, he would never be able to match or surpass the rival he loved even once, doomed to a legacy of being nothing more than the shadow that followed a great man. guda on the other hand was perfectly fine being the forgotten hero of the grand order simply because it would mean that romani’s sacrifice wouldn’t have been in vain. it didn’t matter if the rest of the world would never know of their journey, because They knew, and the memories they made are far more precious than any recognition of such. limbo may not know or understand love but even then he doesn't really know what he wants either aside from a vague understanding of a need for importance, and ultimately limbo wants the name ashiya douman to mean something more than just that of the rival abe no seimei once had to cut down, filled himself with various gods and curses and names because he literally just wants to be loved in some way

guda reached their hand out to mash when she was dying and apologized because they knew mash wanted to live, and abe no seimei did the same when the pitiful ashiya douman had attempted to take his own life in despair at the thought of his own evil. limbo may not know love but at the very least, he’s taken his first step in wanting to understand it by watching gudas own path to hell. at the very least, limbo wants to reach hell alongside them. if guda could do it, if guda could reach out their hand in the face of their inevitable meaningless death, then surely the caster of limbo might be able to change as well

awesome first shiny! my first shiny (in sv) I got was today and it was an exeggcute (I was playing the indigo disk dlc)

NICE yeah i ended up with fucking. TWO shiny exeggutor and a shiny exeggcute while i was shiny hunting other pokémon. the game has kinda cursed me a little bit to the point where i'll be doing everything in my power to increase my shiny odds for One Specific Pokémon that i'm hunting and then the game decides to give me full-odds shinies for Literally Anything Else. i have a clip saved where the game decided to give me TWO shiny exeggutor on ONE SCREEN while i was shiny hunting trapinch one time

you can see from the long pause how distraught i was. that this happened. i did the math and without the shiny charm the odds here would be somewhere in 1 in 16 million i think. i have many more clips like this but none of them are of this Fucking Magnitude

↑ this would also be a pretty cool name. i think. it's certainly easier to pronounce than "fiarrow"—"flarrow" would be a totally badass name for talonflame. pokémon company take notes

Thinking of Holiday’s parents asking how Beverly’s treatment is going at Providence and Rebecca being unable to give updates and trying to reassure them. Meanwhile she’s stressed and trying to make sure her sister is okay and knowing that she’s an incurable for a good long while.

Look Holiday only mentions her parents once and that’s when Beverly is cured. How much guilt was she holding? We know she was so self determined for a cure. The weight of Beverly being an incurable is probably the most heaviest thing for the family. It’s a shock with how little we know of Rebecca. It’s understandable that we don’t know much of Six or White Knight, but we know Rebecca has family and just thinking of how heartbreaking the who EVO situation is. The parents probably believed that Beverly would receive go treatment at Providence.

I don’t think it was intended, but Nanites is a disability/illness allegory, outcast allegory and racism allegory. The disability/illness allegory is sad when consider the fact that they were intended to cure people. Then you incurables and family members worrying for your health. Gosh darn it.

more c!tommy thought. what if he had killed himself in exile and Dream just revived him. what if Tommy had jumped over and over again. how long would it take before Tommy saw old photos of himself and realized his hair is a full shade lighter than before? would he ever acknowledge it, or would he just shake a little more as he told the story about how he “tried” to die?

The chimeric hybrid drops, its weight shaking the bed. All limbs thrash at the invocation but it can’t be stopped. Rats have their holds and their master powers through the song like a mantra until the demon has been exorcised. Stillness settles across the area.

And once more, Dennis passes out.

I never see Wolverine having to regenerate his body parts, so he wasn’t included in the collage I made that involved undying anime characters.
