myths and beliefs

rafayel x MC / 455 words

rafayel and Mc have a discussion on the credibility of myths

MC doesn't know that rafayel is a lemurian. inspired on his card "myths", slight spoiler of his myth if you squint

"do you really need me to be here? I don't think you need protection while you're painting at home"

"it's not just protection your presence helps me with this painting specifically"

MC raised an eyebrow at him but decided not to go too deep into it, opting to plop herself down on the couch across from him and scrolling on her phone. it wasn't the first time rafayel had called her over just to be there, sometimes it was for a couple of minutes, othertimes t was a few hours. he was unpredictable and at this point, should not be questioned.

the sun had started to set when the artist spoke to her again

"do you believe in myths?" "that's a sudden question um, sure. i mean not all of them"

"like?"

"greek mythology sometimes doesn't make sense to me. but i do get that they're supposed to be like warnings to children or just nice stories so i usually don't pay much mind to it."

"if something doesn't make sense to you, you do not believe it true?"

"you're sounding suddenly poetic"

he put his brush down and laid down on the couch with her, his head on her lap. "what about lemurians?"

"lemurians?"

"do you believe in them?"

"even if i did, wouldn't they be extinct? that's what grandma used to say"

"your grandma talked about them?"

she smiled, her hand brushing some purple strands from his face

"she used to tell me a bedtime story, about a lemurian and a human princess. the adventures he'd take her on and the world he would show her. i think it had a tragic ending but i always fell asleep before i heard it. the details of the story are foggy, its been a while."

"if i ever told you something that seemed impossible, would you believe me?"

"you usually mess with me a lot so-"

"MC, i'm serious."

she frowned. "yel, what are you not telling me?"

"do you trust me?"

"with my life but you've got to understand why im kind of aprehensive, youre being rather cryptic"

"you won't remember, you'll break the promise" he mumbled

"what'd you say?"

rafayel smiles, his serious demeanor quickly fading

"i said its nothing, just some artistic trail of thought"

"you sure?"

"yeah" he grabbed her face, pulling it down for a quick kiss "all this talking has made me hungry, feed me an apple?"

"you're so childish, you have to get up for me to go do that"

"hmmm... im sure you can figure out a way to do it with me on top of you"

"i think i have! i'll just throw you off"

rafayel quickly stood up "threatened by my own bodyguard? wow! scandalous"

man as much as I understand why we bind/tuck and that it's not a bad thing if I could wish one thing upon the world it would be for everyone to get so much more normal about men with boobs and women with bulges (and everyone in between w whatever secondary sex characteristics). bc it sucks. it's uncomfortable and can be super super damaging even if you're using the best methods in the world.

and ofc it sucks from cis society but I think I have even more beef w people in the trans community that push this idea that if you're not binding/tucking you're not Serious about being trans.

I have way too many questions about this. First of all, why would darkwick ADOPT HIM???? And why would they want to cover up his murder and even give him a whole new identity?? I mean, if alan was enrolling at dw, then i guess they wouldn't want people to search "todoroki" and find "murder" connected to his name (thought clearly it was useless anyways since word got out that he was in juvie). And it'd be even worse for students to find out that the name of the person he killed so happens to be A PROFESOR AT THE SCHOOL??? who is very much ALIVE ????? It would be very bad for them, so i understand if that was the reason.. But !

This leads me to another question: how important/crucial is Dante to darkwick to the point they had to bring him back to life??? (somehow?? allegedly...?) And if dante Did betray alan's dad, then it got me wondering.. what if alan's dad was also related to or had business with darkwick....

Because, again, why tf would darkwick become alan's legal representatives??? Adopting this random dude (already a ghoul at that point in time i suppose) who committed murder, and for what?? Unless he wasn't that random and they actually knew who he was..because they knew who his (late) father was... and maybe they even were involved in his death somehow..... idk

i cannot wait for the next form of anti-form and rage form in the kh4 art style.

i keep having this idea of a scene where Riku finally finds Sora and is trying to get him to listen but just.

"I'm dead Riku."

"What do you mean? You can come back, come with me Sora."

"No Riku, I died. I'm here as punishment. I'm dead, Strelitzia's dead, you can't be here after everything I went through to save you, you can't!"

"Sora, what are you talking about? I'm not dead, Sora. I'm alive."

"If you're here, then you're dead. After everything I did..."

"I'm alive. Sora listen to me, I'm alive!"

Sora looked up at him, a different look in his eyes than Riku had ever seen before.

"Strelitzia and I had a theory. We were going to test it on her - neither of us thought it would work on me because I'm here on punishment, but if it works..."

"Sora, what are you talking about?"

"It makes sense, truly, I wanted to experiment more before trying it but if you're here... you need to go back..."

"Sora, stop, we're both going back, just calm down and listen to me."

"If you die to get here, it only stands to reason that dying in this reality will send someone back to ours."

"What?"

"You'll be sent to the final world, and then you can pass through to ours."

"Sora... what are you doing?" Sora had started walking closer to Riku, splaying his arms out slightly while darkness began to swirl around his feet with each step.

"I'm sorry Riku, but you can't be here. Your heart will be sent to the final world, but then you'll be able to navigate to back through to our reality. From what Strelitzia's contact has learned, the final world acts as the bridge."

"Sora, stop, you're not making any sense, and there's darkness all around you just-"

Sora's eyes flashed gold for just a moment and the darkness began to envelope him the way it did when Xehanort killed Kairi.

"Riku, forgive me." The transformation completed, the dark Sora raising his arms above his head and summoning what looked like the X-Blade but cloaked in the same darkness as the rest of him. His eyes were a brilliant blue. The X-Blade he held split in two as he brought his hands down, the shape of the two shadowy keyblades changing to be reminiscent to Riku and Kairi's new ones.

also yes dual wielding Sora should come back again. I do find Re:Mind's implication that he and Roxas can both still summon Oathkeeper and Oblivion very funny because I'm just imagining them fighting to summon them. Like there's only one copy.

Roxas, in the middle of sparring: take this! *hands suddenly empty* Roxas: ... DAMN IT SORA

Sora, fighting a wave of heartless and nobodies: I need two hands for this *keyblades won't come to him* Sora: what? shit! *finally summons them just for them to be pulled back again* Sora: SHIT SHIT SHIT Roxas, fighting some nobodies: why does Sora keep pulling these!

Designs under the cut!

GRACE:

The light scars/ cracks on her body were injuries formed while she was accidentally sent through Turo's time machine. Unlike the paradox pokemon/ miraidon, GrAce's body isn't made of iron or metal, so her body wasn't able to withstand the large amount of tera energy used to power the machine as easily as the paradox pokemon were.

Luckily, she was just barely able to hold out against the time machine's energy until she made it to Turo's lab in the present day. Unfortunately, she can't be sent back because she would literally die if she went through the time machine again. Sooooo she's stuck in the modern era.

Very familiar with Area Zero and the various pokemon that reside down there, but moved out in order to continue producing music as well as familiarize herself with current-day Paldea.

She only vaguely know Clavell back when he was a rebellious teenager, though she didn't know his name. Clavell, on the other hand, was one of her biggest fans back in the 50s-60s.

Funny enough, when she sees "Clive" for the first time, she recognizes him! But not as Director Clavell, she just barely recognizes him as the random teenage fan that would occasionally ask her to sign various GrAce posters he had bought. She is also under the belief that he too, was sent from the past into the present, unaware that he simply just grew up.

Likes doing random poses for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

BRAIDY:

Believes that everything can be solved without violence, but can and will throw hands if need be.

Everyone in Braidy's family greet each other by playfully ramming into one another. So when Peppy and his team were getting chased down by Braidy's family during their journey, they weren't trying to attack them, they just wanted to say hi!

Braidy is really good with kids due to his experience with being the eldest sibling, as he'd often have to take care of his younger siblings.

Mykyie and Braidy shop at the same clothing store.

Speaking of Mykyie, the lighter parts of Braidy's fur appeared only after Mykyie passed...

As of now, he's still an apprentice, but he has great potential to become an all powerful wizard... someday.

CHRISTENE'S:

Artist's note: I couldn't fit their children in the bio sorry girls and gays. I'll probably draw them out later on after I'm finished with everyone else.

Their stomachs are basically voids, so every time they eat the food just disappears, which is why they're ALWAYS hungry.

HIGHLY flammable.

It is speculated that they're poppets, but you don't have any proof of that, do you?

If you listen closely, you can hear soft bell noises every time they walk. It is unknown why this happens, but I believe it is best not to ask.

Aaaaand that's it! I plan on taking a short break from these bc I wanna draw some other stuff. Dw, I'll continue to work on these very soon!

A long rant about Winters and Liebgott under the cut:

This is also unedited and written on the way back to work so it probably doesn’t explain my points very well but what can you do-

Winters’ relationship with Liebgott is so intriguing to me because it exposes one major flaw Winters’ seems to have, which is his inability or unwillingness (?) to see the war from someone else’s point of view.

To him, the war so far has been fairly impersonal. He joins the paratroopers because if they’re going to war he wants to fight with the best. But his motivation as to why doesn’t go deeper than that. The war is pretty simple and clean cut. They train, fight in either Europe or the Pacific, win and return home. It makes sense for him, after all until that point in his life he has experienced the world as a heterosexual white male in the 30s and 40s. Safe to say he hasn’t faced any discrimination focused at him ever. And It’s reflected in his worldview, To him, the germans are just that; germans. They are just soldiers fighting a war just like them, nothing deeper than that.

But for Liebgott, he knows what the Nazi’s are doing. It’s very personal to him. In the show, he even wears the star of David next to dog tags. Which if he was captured, would’ve been a death sentence. We know this. Lieb is proud of what he is, A Jew. He probably knew what was going on in Europe before even joining the army. As word of what the Nazi’s were doing travelled quickly in the Jewish community.

His anger towards the Germans is justified and understandable. For me (and I’m sure many others) at least, as someone who has grandparents that are still alive and well who grew up during ww2 and experienced it first hand. And even had conversations with my great-grandparents about how it was/what they experienced.

It’s is the big obstacle in their relationship. Winters views Liebgott as someone quick to anger, one can’t be trusted with prisoners. (Which were SS’ers, so save to say Liebgott hated their guts, and once again for good reason) their interaction in crossroads is the first time we see them at odds. And it is a glimpse of what is coming in why we fight.

Because oooh that episode (alongside the scene in points) is were we see it in full. It is a good episode. However here is where Winters also messed up majorly. After finding the camps, having Liebgott translate once. Finding out they’re Jews. The realisation for Liebgott that they’re his people. That he could’ve been one of them. It would’ve messed up anyone.

Yet Winters then asks Liebgott to shut the camps, which to this day I have trouble watching that scene. To ask him to order them back into the camp when Webster is right there! To see Liebgott break down, to see that anger fester. He hated the nazi’s before but now, any good nazi is a dead nazi. And you understand him, because who wouldn’t feel that way after what he saw.

Yet the show seems to suggest Liebgott is in the wrong. It feels like Winters punishes him by having him translate what the nazi general is saying. It almost feels violating.

And it does a huge disservice of Easy co. as a whole by making direct links of the nazi prisoners and them.

Anywho, I forgot were I was going with this and I’m not sure if I put it in the right words. Something about never having your world view disturbed and Winters inability to see how bad it all affected Liebgott, maybe because he never experienced it. I don’t know. But definitely one of Winters worst decisions ever in the show.

Hey y'all! The merry-go-round of doctors* I am on seems to be cycling back around towards an allergist again, and I have a question for y'all because idk how to word this for doctors: How do you word "if it walks like and allergy and quacks like an allergy it's an allergy" to an allergist? Less flippantly, I have allergy symptoms that multiple doctors have said allergies should not be able to cause. Mainly, my first allergy symptom is high blood pressure**, which if left untreated will progress to migraines, stomach issues, and eventually a bad blood pressure crash***. I have been told allergies do not raise blood pressure, but mine is caused by specific foods most of the time and taking a benadryl stops the reaction, so I have no idea what else it could be? But my main food allergy is acetic acid/vinegar, which I have also had multiple doctors tell me it is not possible to be allergic to

*the "you have a problem but not one I can fix try this kind of specialist instead" mobile **130s/80s, not super high, but high for me ***80s/40s

[greasydumbfuck]

also just for the record. no matter how much utterly stupid shit i say or draw about him, frank actually makes me so deeply sad. this old man should be picking up his grandkids but he cant. i think about him too much and im so sad

[lilacthebooklover]

thinking about how "high school is killing me" begins with richie and ruth singing about how dead & scared they are and ends with steph, pete and grace standing together and how cyclical npmd is and how max kills richie & ruth when things start to get bed and the play starts with richie's corpse being discovered and it ends with steph and pete together at homecoming and grace being ready to screw things up even more and how max isn't mentioned and doesn't show up once during the number and everyone forgets him after his death. thinking about this freaking musical way too much.

[disturbnot]

listen. ash will stop getting stuck in pitfall traps dug by team rocket when he's dead, and no sooner.

westerners (especially white straight ones) love to think that they know anything about anything when it comes to issues like homophobia in other countries and then will make life actively worse for the lgbt+ people in those countries and still come out of it thinking that they're the hero
