#this au gets sad y'all

[decarbry]

dabi: *insults* yabureme: master has given yabureme a connection with a loving, living creature?

[still-breathing-au-p3r]

A fight had broken out between a junior member of the boxing club and another student, and Akihiko’s presence had been demanded as the school staff sorted through the fallout. She had intended to wait for him, but he had pleaded with her to go ahead and to keep Aragaki company until he could make it there. So this afternoon, Mitsuru finds herself alone in Aragaki’s hospital room for the first time.

The room is not silent: the heart monitor keeps up its steady, reassuring cadence and the ventilator hisses in counterpoint as it cycles air through Aragaki’s lungs. The amount of ambient noise is no more or no less compared to previous visits; neither she nor Akihiko ever spoke much, except occasionally to a nurse going about their rounds.

But with Akihiko, the quiet had felt– not comfortable, but at least neutral. Alone, it makes her feel untethered and restless, until finally the nervous energy reaches a boiling point and her skin begins to crawl. She says the first thing she can think of just to relieve the nagging tension.

She cuts herself off, her mouth curling wryly.

Her throat constricts. She forces herself to breathe and to speak through it.

She folds her arms tightly, gripping her elbows. Her face burns at how maudlin that sounded, even considering that this entire one-sided conversation has from the very start been nothing but purely self-indulgent.

She sighs and tucks some hair behind her ear.

She looks down at his face, as though she expects to find him watching her, brows drawn together over a flat and unimpressed gaze.

His eyes remain closed, his face unchanged and expressionless. A stray lock of hair has fallen over one eye, the ragged ends skimming over his cheek. Without thinking she brushes it away, smoothing it down into the rest with her fingertips before it dawns on her just what she’s doing. She snatches her hand away, tucking it under her other arm for good measure.

A mantle of fatigue settles over her and she retreats to the chair that had been left by Aragaki’s bedside.

She’s not sure what she was trying to accomplish, exactly. It isn’t as though she thought she could goad him into waking, if only she threw out enough chances to tease her as bait.

Akihiko doesn’t make it to the hospital until less than an hour remains before visiting hours end. Though she doesn’t say anything more, Mitsuru holds vigil by Aragaki’s side the entire time, just as she’d said she would.

pov you looked mildly pathetic in front of godless!Narindad

Text reads:

"... Right, I am your father now. My door is always open. Here is a fresh loaf of bread. You can expect a letter once every moon cycle, twice when your birth star is out. You have an open invite to all festivals in my village. And if anyone ever hurts you, they will live to regret it- but not for long."

The Gerwitz Siblings + Never Grow Up (part 1 of the Speak Now series)

(warnings: brief mention of drug use, implied unhappy household including infidelity)

and no one's ever burned you nothing's ever left you scarred and even though you want to just try to never grow up

It was a fascinating combination, the naivety and innocence of youth with the ease and ignorance of wealth. Gregory knew he was lucky, that he was one of the few that had outgrown one and could see the other, but the thing about that was that reality and the truth hurt so much more.

He was old enough that he could see what was really going on around him. He could see each of his mother's judgements for what they were - insults, not attempts to actually help someone improve, just digs to make him and everyone else feel bad. He could see how much easier their lives were, with all of their money and things, than most others. He could see that the private school education he and his sister received wasn't about teaching them or giving them opportunities, just flaunting wealth and money and other shiny things that equaled power. And the idea that his name and money would continue to earn him things didn't sit as well as they used to.

Reality was harsh, and it came with truths that hurt so much he wished he didn't know them. There was the truth that his father cared more about the business than anyone in the family. There was the truth that his mother's love would completely disappear if she knew the whole truth about him. There was the truth that he would be forced into a loveless marriage and have a whole clan of children just for the sake of the family reputation and public image. The truths were the worst part, and he wished he could go back to the lies.

His father was happy to come home to a lively house after a long day at the office. His mother cared about the children under her care, even the one that wasn't hers. He was happy to do what was expected of him by the world he was raised in.

Gregory was just too smart to truly believe any of that anymore.

His sister on the other hand...

Kimberly was still young and had the foolishness that came with the age. She was more focused on school friends and listening to the right music and seeing the right movies. She was focused on exactly what she should have been focused on, the things that all teenagers should be worrying about. The state of the world and their places in society weren't her business yet.

She was supposed to be worried about grades and fitting in above all else. It was like baby steps, an introduction to what would be expected in her future. One day, fitting in with private school cliques would turn into hosting book clubs and murmuring gossip around fundraisers and events. Getting good grades would turn into doing all the right things to keep a house in order, or help children with homework, or organize a gala. Listening to the right music now would make her easy to talk to later, and having enough of the right friends was what a women's reputation was built on, in their corner of society.

But the way she experienced it was all too similar to how he'd experienced nearly the same things. She didn't know all the other things about the role she would be expected to fill one day - she didn't know about the probable loveless marriage, or the affairs that might happen behind her back, or the whispers that would happen when she wasn't near enough to hear her friends at some event or missed a book club meeting. The darker side of all of it had been hidden from her, kept secret, and that was how it was supposed to be.

None of them would grow up at all if they knew all the horrible little details, let alone wish for it to happen even faster.

They would try to cling to the little things from childhood, instead, especially the things they used to hate about it. They would cling to giggles during a boring piano lesson. They would hold on tighter to the ropes of the swing. They would stay out later with friends, skip school to go to the mall more often, linger around quiet fundraisers just to make the years last longer.

Children always saw growing up as some exciting new adventure. Gregory had always seen it that way, and he saw that same gleam in his sister's eyes even when he was packing up to move halfway across the country for school. Adulthood, especially for them, meant money and power and making their own rules. It meant getting to do whatever they wanted to do, and the adults of the world let them believe that. They were allowed to believe all the happy little lies that kept the world spinning.

Parents loved their children. The world was a happy place. Nothing could ever hurt them. Lies. Lies. Lies.

He'd started to understand it, soon enough. It was far easier to promise his sister adventure beyond Chicago than to crush her dreams into dust. Kimberly wanted to believe that the world was vast and hers to explore, and who was he to knock all of that down so she could taste reality before it was her time? Lying was easier, kinder, safer for everyone involved. The last thing he wanted to do was open a child's eyes to the harshness of the world around them, to the harshness of their own home. She could live in naïve ignorance for a little longer, for as long as she possibly could, and he would make sure of it.

He would lie, and tell her his mother's moods had nothing to do with them or the pills she slipped after a drink too many at a charity gala. He'd tell her their father came home late most nights because running a business demanded long hours in the office. He'd tell her that love was real, and it existed right there within their home, even when it was hard to see.

At least that last one wasn't a lie, for a while.

It was when he left for Boston, accepting an improperly long hug at the airport security gate, that it lost its truth. Without him there, checking in nightly and taking some of his mother's attention away, almost all of the love was gone. Kimberly would still hold on, of course, she always did, with a heart bigger than he could ever hope to have, but that was because she was luckier than he was. She spent the first few years of her life outside of it all, didn't become a Gerwitz until she was almost six. Love was something she'd known, truly known, at one point in her life, not just a label given to the actions performed for the cameras.

He'd taken some of the love with him to school, held it deep in his chest for weekend phone calls and those rare private conversations they got to have. Over a thousand miles away, there was a little sister he loved more than he could love himself, a soul he'd tried so hard to protect from the moment he realized the truth about the world and their little corner of it. He was too far away to do anything if she needed him, too far for an emergency or a reluctant hug or late night whispers and ice cream in a dim kitchen so they wouldn't be caught.

Where he was, he was experiencing the opposite of what she was feeling. She was still young and hopeful, dreaming of growing up and having the world at her fingertips. But he was in the next stage, living alone in a dorm room meant for two, squeezing his eyes shut and pretending he could hear some familiar guitar riff from a stereo down the hall, wishing the same thing that every adult did, even if everyone would say he was still too young to label himself as one.

He wished he'd never grown up at all.

[hamartia-grander]

Wtf kinda resident evil spaces are y'all in that it's common to see someone "lament" Leon losing his job as a c*p. Maybe leave those places asap.

[mrsecretusername]

scenario time.

I don't know anything about victorian england, but. victorian england.

Navy captain retires, and the guy who was his steward on his ship ends up working for him as his personal servant, or whatever nobility had then. This captain's not nobility, he worked his way through the ranks with the help of childhood friends in high places and he's uncomfortable with a lot of that world even while he has to navigate it, so he's always been more open with his steward than most others in his position might be, and more open than he is with most of his peers.

the steward's already really loyal to this guy, admires him a lot, maybe has a little bit of a crush, but once the captain retires on land it turns out. the handsome navy captain has allergies. and this weird little secret his steward has that was pretty easy to keep about himself out at sea becomes a lot harder to hide.

rest under a read more for anyone interested:

his steward is The Guy who makes up excuses for him to leave certain events long enough to have a sneezing fit, who ushers him somewhere private and hands him the extra handkerchiefs he's been keeping for him, who helps him get ready in the morning when the captain's still too sleepy to realise he shouldn't have kept his window open during the night because he's forgotten to constantly avoid allergens now after so long at sea, etc. The steward is having A Time, and is great at keeping a straight face, but less great at it with people who know him well.

so the captain eventually finds out. and when he does! sometimes the captain tries to stifle but only for the steward's sake to make things (or so the captain believes) easier on him. the captain is genuinely really chill about it, comfortable talking about it, very casually brings it up when it becomes relevant and gently teases about it, etc. The ex-captain even sometimes actively doesn't avoid an allergen when he otherwise would have in order to help his steward out/tease him.

maybe they get together eventually and maybe they don't, but the part of it where the tension comes from the steward's determination to always be (mostly) professional vs his crush and his Big Reactions, and where they're like, very comfortable with one another in a way they're not with the rest of the world, is a dynamic that's really working for me right now.

i've been replaying kh 3 (despite not having finished it because when it released life just threw 1239893849 things at me and the horrors haven't ceased) and i'm in arendelle. almost halfway through. i want to play it. but out of spite i don't want to finish it. but i also want to fight my husband

(rambling in tags)

[crescentfool]

i cant believe i forgot that im a fire emblem enjoyer 🙄 i was reading some of my notifs/tags from that one post about the video game series you've played the longest and oh my god.

i would like to apologize to fire emblem for forgetting that i've played it even though it's probably one of the longest standing series in my life next to pokemon and xenoblade... 💀 (<- they have 565 hours in fire emblem, 170 in awakening, 45 for fates, 75 for sov, and 275 for three houses and perhaps a few hours from feh but we don't talk about that)

anyway. did you know i like fire emblem. and that i like reading tags. i hope you all have swag times with whatever game series makes you happy! 💙

[izzy-b-hands]

okay one more vent post then I'll shut up

but

part of this job search thing too is like. they want certs and things out here that i didn't even know existed. the same jobs in ND either don't require them or you won't even see the job listing unless you already have the required certs/degrees/know someone in the industry

so like. even things I know how to do, I'm hesitating to apply bc they want certs and schooling i don't have and can't afford rn. and they're probably right to want those things, but it boggles me some days that like. i have experience. i have knowledge. it doesn't matter bc i didn't know to get these certs bc my prior jobs never wanted/asked abt them. i essentially have no experience then.

that fucking hurts. working since i was 14 fucking years old and what do i have to show for it. not much per a lot of the job listings im seeing. Was really worth it starting the privilege of work two years early for my experience to essentially mean nothing nowadays/s

[transingthoseformers]

nO BECAUSE LEMME TALK ABOUT HOW LITTLE ITTY BITTY TINY THE SPARKLING IS

I'm imagining it as legitimately just so fucking small. How else, otherwise, would it's existence be hidden flawlessly?

[aparticularbandit]

alright. headache feels to be gone. at least mostly gone if not entirely.

so.

gonna hit up the third write for monday's chapter and then start in on the oaei second write asks from the wip game, which means today is a lot of bandit writes danganronpa stuff.

....

and then maybe i'll bring up jess agatha fic and go back to more writing on that because that was always intended to bring up the toons rights activists and toon junko slots into that really really well so like.

why not. it combines a good chunk of my hyperfixations over the past few years. i could throw bedeals in if any of them would ever go to therapy (HAH), but like i don't know how i'd get rose and lu in there or lint or anything, so like.

but let's be real, we want to see agatha and jess and junko interact. with scully. or mulder. c'mon. this will be FUN.

f1news y/n y/l/n and max verstappen called it quits almost a month ago and it seems like they didn't end on good terms at all. the singer, at her london show last night, threw shade at her ex-boyfriend, saying and we quote, "the next song wouldn't have been possible without this one dude who inspired it obviously. so — here's 'i should hate you'. spoiler alert, i do. thank you!" the reason for the split is still unknown but sources who claim to be close to the pair said that 'it was bound to happen — with their different goals and plans for the future," seemingly referring to the talks that y/l/n wanted to get married and verstappen didn't. both of them have yet to comment on the situation. for more details, click on the link in our bio.
