Poll Vote Hurt & Comfort
Hello lovely readers <3
Here is our Poll Vote post, there are so many great Hurt & Comfort fanfic with them, we picked out some of them for you.
Have a great weekend and enjoy reading <3
across the distance (M) by Tciddaemina
Law and Bepo have just finished charting a new course when Law feel's Luffy's heart begin to race. He lets out a breath, ignoring it, and finishes looking over the last of the calculations, giving Bepo a final nod and stepping away, pulling a cigarette out of his pocket as he steps out the door onto the deck. He leans against the rail, lighting up, and brings the cigarette to his lips, inhaling. He feels Luffy's heart skip a beat. The racing slows, tempo lowing again back to normal rates, and Law almost huffs and ignores it entirely, except then Luffy's heart rate continues to drop, and it doesn't stop. It hits his resting heart rate and then keeps falling, plummeting rapidly. Law sucks in a sharp breath, stomach dropping, one hand clutching at his chest as he stops so fast he almost staggers, because fuck, something is happening- - Luffy is dying, and Law is half an ocean away, too far to help.
Will You Share Your Emotions Under The Moon? (G) byDoodle4Noodle
A Satellite Far from the Sun cosmicatta T """How stupid. You are the Sun and I’m no more than a distant satellite trapped in your orbit."" Law sees sunshine at midnight, learns how to dance (kind of), and finds out where he truly belongs within the solar system. All before daybreak." 3,02 2023 complete
Not about the free lunch (T) by chenziee
There were a lot of things Luffy wanted to tell Law but right now, looking at the blood dripping from the hastily patched up wound on Law's arm, there was only one thing on his mind.
A Satellite Far from the Sun (T) by cosmicatta
"How stupid. You are the Sun and I’m no more than a distant satellite trapped in your orbit."  Law sees sunshine at midnight, learns how to dance (kind of), and finds out where he truly belongs within the solar system. All before daybreak.
Dead Defend No Honour (G) by KhepiAri
What if Luffy found out, Law lost it all at the hands of Blackbeard? Will he let Law suffer alone, or will he drag him back to Sunny?
what fate wants (T) by frogsterz
“What do they mean?” Luffy blinks round eyes up at him, his hair dripping water down his face.  Law wavers between answering him honestly, because lying to Luffy feels like a crime against humanity, and keeping his dark, sordid past to himself. “It’s a heart,” he deflects.  “You have many hearts,” Luffy observes. He pokes his right arm. “Are they for someone you loved?” (What Luffy wants is what fate wants. Law will realise this firsthand, whether he wants to or not.)
Your Heart, Broken in My Chest (T) by purplehairedwonder
Luffy was far from an expert at having someone else’s heart in his chest, but he was pretty sure what was happening with Torao’s heart wasn’t normal. Written for 10 Days of LawLu 2023 Day 8: Hurt/Comfort
Breathe (T) by CheshireSense
Luffy never told Ace, and he probably won't tell Sabo either, but he's never really liked fire. Or, the one where even Luffy has his bad days. Law understands.
If You Need Me, I Will (G) by BasicallyACat
Luffy can't find the words to describe all the things he feels, couldn't say them even if he found them. He knows people don't understand him usually and doesn't really mind. His nakama understand and that is all that matters. When he meets Law, suddenly there are far too many things to say even when he can't and Luffy prays Law can understand anyways.
scarred but not beyond repair (T) by marimoes
Across the room, Law grumbles in his sleep. A sharp inhaling of air sucks in through his lips and it nearly sounds pained. Like he’s been hit, and Luffy jumps up at once on alert—but finds nothing. As he creeps closer, Luffy watches Law's left hand start to dig at his bandages.

Solar Opposites: Ultra Opposites The Movie Ch. 13 (from @avaveevo)
Tumblr media
The next morning, Terry is wakes up while moaning, only for him to gasp in horror upon seeing Korvo gone.
Terry: Korvo?!
Terry looks around the room.
Terry: Korvy?!
Terry then sees a note on Korvo’s pillow and gasp. He reads it and it says, “We Have Your Husband! Turn yourselves in or else, his powers are mine, Ultra Opposites - Ophelia”
Terry gasps as Courage In Me (Reprise) plays. Terry looks out the window and then at his wedding ring as he smiles in determination and knows what to do.
[TERRY]
It’s so dark
There’s a star in the sky, but there’s a sound to be heard as reality blur, dreams aren’t gone in the light!
Reaching out, world’s not far from behind, I can do this alone, I have find my way home, no more doubts in mind
I finally have the Courage in me! I’m braver than I’ve been before! Done searching for the courage and now I believe this is what I’m destined for… Ooooooooooh…
Terry glows red as he transforms into Solar Flare as he flies out the window with the kids, Phoebe, Janiz, the two AIs and their friends follow him.
[SOLAR FLARE]
What was in darkness Is totally different in the light And deep in my heart I have found a way to climb to new heights I have gone on regardless Of anything standing in my way Harness the power in me for those who need to be saved No more running No more running Time to soar through the sky tonight I'm not going down without a fight Cause it is the time My moment to rise
Meanwhile, Korvo is seen tied to a chair as he groans as he wakes up
Korvo: What the fuck?!
Ophelia: Hello, Legendary Super Shlorpian.
Korvo gasp upon seeing Ophelia and Echo.
Korvo: Let me go!
Ophelia: Never! Now I got you now where I wanted! Your powers belong to me now!
Korvo: What?! Wait, no!
Ophelia: I HAVE YOU NOW!
Echo uses her powers to suck out Korvo's powers as he screams in pain
Sister Sisto/Echo: *laughs evilly* We got them now! His powers are ours!
Ophelia smirks evilly. Korvo groans in pain as he has his powers sucked by Echo as he collapse and groans.
Korvo: *struggling to get up* What have you done?! *moans*
Ophelia: I have your powers!
Ophelia laughs evilly as she develops ice powers as Korvo struggles to get up.
Korvo: You won't...get away with this...
Korvo then collapse on the floor. Until, Solar Flare bust in there with the kids.
Terry/Solar Flare: Korvy!
Yumyulack/Psylock, Jesse/Electra and Sonya/Soarin’ Girl: Korvo! Dad! Daddy!
Korvo: Guys! Get out of here now! Ophelia has my powers!
Terry/Solar Flare, Yumyulack/Psylock, Jesse/Electra and Sonya/Soarin’ Girl: WHAT?!
Terry/Solar Flare: *turns to Ophelia with courage in his eyes* GIVE ME BACK MY HUBBY’s powers!
Ophelia: It’s too late! His powers are mine! *turns into a Super Shlorpian as she flies off and starts to create destruction*
Ophelia then uses her super Shlorpian powers as she creates havoc to the city.
Ophelia: *grunting as she uses her ice powers to destroy part of town*
The rest of the Ultra Opposites arrive as they gasp at the destruction.
Nova/Lady Roseus: *looking up as she gasp*
Cherie/Agent Red: No...
Kevin/The Flamethrower: Guys! Our friends might in danger come on!
Then, they see a girl name Monica heroically running past the destruction as he pants.
Miss Frankie/Shadow Lady: Take shelter!
Back with Solar Flare and the kids, they heroically face Ophelia. Solar Flare's skin turns black as he grows bigger and muscularS
Terry/Solar Flare: *suits tears rips apart by the muscle grow as his eyes glow orange* Oh yeeeeeeeesss! *now fully controlled* this feeeeeels gooooooooooood!
Now a Mundane, Solar Flare roars heroically as he faces Super Shlorpian Ophelia.
Super Shlorpian Ophelia: Bring it on!
Mundane Solar Flare suddenly gets orange marks on his body as Korvo gasps: Mundane Solar Flare roars as he uses his fire powers to stop Ophelia. Super Shlorpian Ophelia roars as he uses a power ice blast, luckily Electra swings her electric ball around to keep it away from her father.
Jesse/Electra: You just got Electra'd!
The scene then cuts back to Mia, Phoebe and Ms. Perez as they follow their friends while Phoebe is holding Lili. A neon green orb piece appears floating towards the girls. Mia gasp upon seeing Monica in danger after she tripped and shield herself, but then the neon green orb merges with Mia offscreen, as she appears in her own super suit and catches Monica to safety.
Monica: Thanks, lady!
Mia/???: *holds Monica’s hand* Come on, stick with us okay?
Monica nods. Mia, now known as Shining Light after doing her own heroic pose, Ms. Perez and Phoebe meets up with the rest of the heroes.
Nova/Lady Roseus: Mia?
Mia/Shining Light: Shining Light.
Ms. Perez: Come on! We have to keep moving!
The rest of the Ultra Opposites shield themselves form the wind as they heroically keep going. Shining Light then turns around and gasp as she creates a rope with a ball on it and swings it around to keep the storm away from her and her allies. Back with the others... Electra then leaps from the ground as she lands on her feet and gets into a fighting stance with her siblings and father. But then, Super Shlorpian Ophelia grabs Mundane Solar Flare as she growls.
Super Shlorpian Ophelia: You are nothing but a weakling! Just like your loser husband!
Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: That’s not true! I am stronger than ever! And it’s because of the love of my family and friends! They’re not my weakness! They’re my strength!
Super Shlorpian Ophelia: *laughs* How pathetic *breathes ice at Psylock*
Psylock dodges it as he lands on his face while his eyes glow purple.
Super Shlorpian Ophelia: Now allow to demonstrate how weak you are!
Super Shlorpian Ophelia then throws Mundane Solar Flare out of the window as the kids and Korvo gasp in horror.
Korvo: NO!'
Sonya/Soarin’ Girl: Daddy! Hang on! *flies out of the window*
Meanwhile with Sherbet, she is lying on her bedroom, only for to notices her hand is turning violet.
Sherbet: *laughs* The less interested you are, the more you know.
The scene then cuts back to Shining Light struggling to keep the wind away as she grunts. Echo then sees this and creates a powerful blast that blows some of the heroes away.
Sherbet: Huh? *gasp as she opens the window and sees a powerful storm*
Sherbet then gains determination. Sherbet then grows determined as he starts to glow violet with a the colors of the rainbow shining through her chest. The rest of the Ultra Oppisites duck as they leap away from the blast. Sherbet then transforms with her own super suit as she heads out of the window. The heroes slowly awaken as Violet manages to get them away from the blast.
Nova/Lady Roseus: Sherbet?
Sherbet/Violet: Violet!
Violet does her own superhero pose while Janiz arrives with AISHA and EVA.
Jamie/Firey: We’ll take it from here, good citizens!

Principal Cooke/Super Cooke: Quick guys! Let’s get moving!
The heroes, Ms. Perez, Phoebe, still holding Lili carefully then run up, made it and climb their way up to the fortress with Janiz, who is holding Pezlie the two AIs following them. The scene then cuts to Korvo as he heroically starts to get back up.
Super Shlorpian Ophelia: Aw, what's the matter, Korvo? Upset that you're hubby's dead?
Korvo however heroically refuses to give as he looks at his wedding ring and closes his eyes in determination.
Super Shlorpian Ophelia: Well, the hero is in the house!
Korvo opens his eyes and yells in fury as he runs towards Super Shlorpian Ophelia. Korvo then uses his life saving sword to fight Ophelia. Super Shlorpian Ophelia tries to harm him, but luckily Korvo ducks as Janiz arrives and gasp upon seeing her brother in danger. Then, the heroes made it but gasp upon seeing Korvo in danger.

Sonya/Soarin’ Girl: Got ya!
Pezlie: *giggles*
Pezlie coos but then a tickle me pink orb piece floats towards Pezlie as it merges with her, much to Soarin’ Girl and Mega Mundane Solar Flare’s surprise.
Sonya/Soarin’ Girl: Wha? Did that thing just merged with a baby?
Mega Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: Looks like it did.
Back with the other Ultra Opposites, Super Shlorpian Janiz still thought with Super Shlorpian Ophelia who roars, but then Agent Red kicks Ophelia in the face. Korvo attacks with his sword
Korvo: *swings his sword at Ophelia* STAY AWAY FROM MY BIG SISTER!

Sonya/Soarin’ Girl: Oh no! Pezlie’s tears have became acid ones! The fortress is collapsing! Guys, look out!
Super Shlorpian Ophelia: The time for games is over! Once I-
Suddenly the fortress break apart as our heroes, Echo and Super Shlorpian Ophelia falls. Soarin’ Girl and Mega Mundane Solar Flare sees their family and friends in danger and rushes over to help them as they fall in the water.

Ms. Perez gasp while an orange orb piece appears behind her and merges with her without looking. Ms. Perez then gets her own super suit.
Ms. Perez/???: *to Super Shlorpian Ophelia* HEY! LEAVE HER ALONE!
Super Shlorpian Ophelia growls and throws Shining Light to the ground. Ms. Perez then develops a super sonic scream as it blasted Ophelia. The other Ultra Opposites emerge from the water when suddenly, Mega Mundane Solar Flare appears and helps lift his friends up from the water.

Korvo: No… but I really need my powers back… without them, I’m weak…
Korvo collapses into Mega Mundane Solar Flare's arms
Mega Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: Shh… it’s okay… we’ll get them back… I promise.
Korvo's breathing gets ragged and he coughs out blood
Mega Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: *gasp* Oh no! The Super Shlorpian! It’s your lifesource! Is it?!
Korvo nods and cries out in pain. Electra gasp in horror upon seeing her dad in near death as she growls and her yellow electric sparks turn into pink as her eyes suddenly starts glowing pink.

Super Shlorpian Janiz: I got it! One of us has got to fight Ophelia and-
Jesse/Electra: NO!

Now a Mundane, Electra roars as she pummels on Super Shlorpian Ophelia and attacks her.
Mega Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: JESSE?!
Super Shlorpian Ophelia smirks evilly.
Super Shlorpian Ophelia: Echo, now!
But just before Echo could attack, Mundane Jesse grabs Echo as she screams out in pain and then has Korvo’s powers pulled away from Ophelia who screams in pain as her powers get pulled out and transferred back into Korvo, who awakens as he breathes for air.
Mega Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: Korvy?!
Korvo then finally turns into his superhero form and then his skin turns black and he grows bigger and muscular as his horns appear on his head and his wings appear on this back as he roars in pleasure. Then he laughs while crying in tears of joy.
Super Shlorpian Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: *crying tears of joy while twirling around in air* YES! YES! I’M BACK! IT’S GOOD TO BE ME AGAIN!
Mega Mundane Solar Flare smiles tearfully
Mega Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: Korvy!
The two husbands embrace in a kiss once Super Shlorpian L.S.S. grows to his mega form and embraces his hubby.
Mega Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: How does it feel to have that power back inside you?
Mega Super Shlorpian Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: It feels amazing and erotic!
The two monster alien husbands then kiss again. Then they heard Mundane Jesse roaring as she snarls at Echo.
Mega Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: *chuckles seductively* Good to have you back, babe.
Mega Super Shlorpian Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Good to be back!
The two monster alien husbands then kiss again. Then they heard Mundane Jesse roaring as she snarls at Echo.
Mega Super Shlorpian Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: JESSE!
Mundane Electra snarls as she turns around and gasps when she sees Korvo okay. But then, her Mundane instincts take over her mind as she roars and loses her sanity.
Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: OH NO! MY BABY!
Mundane Jesse roars as she fights with Echo, who growls and tries to kick her. But Mundane Jesse roars and throws her to the wall as she moans.
Mega Super Shlorpian Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Terry! Do something!
Mega Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: Me?
Mega Super Shlorpian Legendary Super Shlorpian takes Mundane Solar Flare's hand.

Mega Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: Jesse, stop!
Mega Mundane Jesse: *breaths in and out as tears of rage burst in her eyes*
Mega Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: *soothes Mega Mundane Jesse by rubbing her back* Shh… it’s okay baby girl… daddy’s here… shh…

Mega Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: It's okay, Jesse-bear. It's okay.
Mega Mundane Solar Flare smiles in tears as hugs his daughter and kiss Mega Mundane Electra on the forehead as she weeps. Then, Ophelia starts growling as she starts to power up.
Sonya/Soarin' Girl: What's happening?!
Ophelia: *voice starts to get distorted as she grows monstrous* You fucked up heroes messed with me with the last time… NOW YOU ARE GOONG TO PAY!
Echo laughs evilly
Sister Sisto/Echo: Now it’s time!
Ophelia has reached to her true form in a form of an insect-like monster as she roars. The Ultra Opposites get into a fighting stance as they prepare to fight her.
Monster Ophelia: You insignificant fucking fools!
Mega Super Shlorpian Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Shit!
The heroes duck from Monster Ophelia’s blast as they hide behind the wall, and starts to come up with a plan.
Jamie/Firey: So what’s the plan Solar Flare?
Then, Mega Mundane Solar Flare and Mega Super Shlorpian L.S.S. got an idea together and smirk.
Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: I...don't know...
Then, Mega Mundane Solar Flare and Mega Super Shlorpian L.S.S. got an idea together and smirk.
Mega Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: You thinking what I'm thinking?
Mega Super Shlorpian Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Combining our powers into one to stop her?!
Mega Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: Hell yeah!
Mega Super Shlorpian Yumyulack/Psylock: What?! But what if it kills us?!
Mega Super Shlorpian Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: It won’t! Our powers are immobile to that kind of stuff! It’s the perfect square fraction. Trust me, I’m a mathlete!
Mega Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: *seductively* You sure are.
Mega Super Shlorpian Legendary Super Shlorpian giggles as he kiss Mega Mundane Solar Flare on the cheek. Then, the heroes Beverly head up to Monster Ophelia with Phoebe, Monica and Janiz standing right beside them.
Mega Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: Get ready!
Ultra Opposites: Right!
Mega Mundane Solar Flare roars as he uses his fire powers that blast out to Ophelia. Then, one by one, the heroes start combining their powers. Suddenly, an icy pink blast appears. Mega Super Shlorpian Legendary Super Shlorpian turns around and realizes it’s coming from Janiz, now a mega Super Shlorpian, in her own superhero suit. Then, acid and perfect balance element winds appear, coming from Phoebe and Monica in their own suits. The powers combine into one big blast as it hits Monster Ophelia, who is now weaken by it,
Mega Super Shlorpian Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Janiz?!
Mega Super Shlorpian Janiz/???: Call me Lady Super Shlorpian!
Mega Super Shlorpian L.S.S. smiles at his sister while they blast starts to overpower Ophelia, much to her horror.
Ophelia: What are you doing?! You will never defeat me!
But to her horror, the blast becomes too powerful for Monster Ophelia as she gets engulf in it and screams. As the blast fades to white, the scene fades as the Ultra Opposites, walk out of the fog with new super suits for Solar Flare, L.S.S., Psylock and Electra as they stand in triumph while the crowd cheers for them.

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Hey, Lili. Did you see your daddies?
Lili: *babbles as she touches Legendary Super Shlorpian’s face as she smiles*
Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: We love you too, sweetie.
The two husbands kiss while the family gets in a group hug. We then cut to Echo sneaking up behind Solar Flare.
Terry/Solar Flare: *sensing Echo behind him* Oh for crying out loud! *blasts Echo with her fire powers as she moans*
Sister Sisto/Echo: You...ruined everything!
Luckily, Lady Roseus and Shadow Lady restrained as she struggles to break free.
Nova/Lady Roseus: It’s over Sisto.

I two things:
1, I love any and all of yet rambles, especially the space ones. Space is also one of my special interests, and it makes me so so so so happy whenever I see something about it on one of my favorite blogs!
If my brain wasn’t so stupid and actually let me remember stuff when I want to, perhaps I’d actually be able to keep all I learn >:(
2, Please remember to drink some water, eat some food even if it’s just a few crackers, and rest.
Ya can use this ask as an excuse to talk about space ^^
1. I AM CONSIDERED ONE OF YOUR FAVOURITE BLOGS? *falls from my gaming chair*
Thank you.
Astrophysics is a wonderful field of science.
Don't worry, I don't have the memory of an elephant, so I can't keep everything in mind. It's not bad to forget stuff. I like to reread & rewatch stuff & I feel happy when I read or see stuff that I already know. It's like: WHOOP, THAT I KNOW!
2. ... You got me there. When I'm in hyperfocus, it's really hard to remember to eat or drink. Sometimes, I don't even want to. A few minutes of nourishing my body feel like eternity even though I know that is JUST my emotional perception.
Oooooh, another infodump about space? Hehe...
Tumblr media
You won't regret this, will you?
✨️Let's talk quasars! ✨️
'Quasar' is short for 'quasi-stellar radio source'.
Quasars got that name because they looked starlike when astronomers first discovered them in the earliest radio surveys of the sky in the 1950s.
Some of the radio sources discovered back then coincided with objects that appeared to be unusually blue stars, although photographs of some of these objects showed them to be embedded in faint, fuzzy halos.
But quasars aren’t stars.
They are, in fact, young galaxies located at vast distances from us, with their numbers increasing towards the edge of the visible universe.
The oldest quasar, currently, is J0313-1806. Its distance is approximately 13.03 billion light-years, & therefore, we see it as it was just 670 million years after the Big Bang.
Quasars are extremely bright, up to 1,000 times brighter than our Milky Way. We know that they’re highly active, emitting staggering amounts of radiation across the entire electromagnetic spectrum.
A quasar is a type of an 'active galactic nucleus', short AGN.
(There are actually many different types of AGNs, each with their own tale to tell.)
Theoretically, the intense radiation released by an AGN powers a supermassive black hole.
The powerful radiation comes from material in the accretion disk surrounding the black hole when it is superheated to millions of degrees by the intense friction generated by the particles of dust, gas & other matter in the disk colliding countless times with each other.
The inward spiral of matter in a supermassive black hole’s accretion disk – that is, at the centre of a quasar – is the result of particles colliding & bouncing against each other & losing momentum.
That material came from the enormous clouds of gas, mainly consisting of molecular hydrogen, which filled the universe in the era shortly after the Big Bang.
There is a maximum rate set by the Eddington limit at which a black hole can accrete matter before the heating of the infalling gas results in so much outward pressure from radiation that the accretion stops.
Some quasars have radio jets, which are highly collimated beams of plasma propelled out along the rotation axis of the accretion disk at almost the speed of light.
These jets emit beams of radiation that can be observed at X-ray & radio wavelengths (and less often at optical wavelengths).
What distinguishes an “active” galactic nucleus from other galactic nuclei (90–95 percent of large galaxies that are currently not quasars) is that the black hole in an active nucleus accretes a few solar masses of matter per year, which, if it is accreting at around 1 percent or more of the Eddington rate, is sufficient to account for a typical quasar with a total luminosity of about 10^39 watts. (The Sun’s luminosity is about 4 × 10^26 watts.)
Quasars are baby galaxies if you will.

@alwaysmicado thank you for your support, so here's chapter two (that I finally finished 😅)
Shadows of the Night
Kennedy
"Allie!" I snapped at the curly blonde who was currently sucking the face off some boy she met about a week ago. "Allie, we need to go." I pull at her arm. "We need to go now!" I hissed as the boy shoved me away from her, not being successful, but he tried.
"Buzz off, little girl. Can't you see we're busy?" He snapped back as I ignored him.
"Allie." My voice was pleading, desperate to get out while we still had the chance.
"Kennedy!" She hissed venomously as she ripped her arm from my grasp. "I don't care! I want you to leave and stop bothering me!" She nearly screamed as a light flashed in our direction and I let her go and slinked away from it.
Once Sam died and Connor was forced into the war not even a year later, Allie and I started to grow apart, showing interest in different things. Allie gave all of her attention to the boys around us and I was more into the news and reading about first aid and how to survive in the wild. My mother disappeared a few months after Connor was taken to boot camp, and Allie and I joined a small group just outside of New Hampshire, in a little town on the Vermont border. Most of the people here were higher than a kite, but I couldn't blame them. We seemed to be on the losing side, gun laws are nonexistent, murder and crime are at an all-time high, and we have been shoved under martial law, so being high doesn't seem as terrible anymore.
"Leave, Kennedy. I'm done babysitting you." She snapped as I glared at her before grabbing my bag and disappearing into the shadows of the night. I got maybe 50 feet from the camp before screams and gunshots rang clear through the silence of midnight. I ran back, just to see that boy push Allie in front of him so that she shot right before my eyes, and he had a chance to make it out alive. I was just about to go after him but then the man that killed Allie went down and so did the other one before a thought hit me.
I'm never going to make it if I don't have a weapon to protect myself.
With that thought, I slinked under the fence and grabbed what I could off the two corpses on the ground. I had to pull away a few times because of the death and the stench that came with it. Get used to it, Ken. This won't be the last dead body you'll see. I thought before adding to it as I stashed the last of what was useful from the man inside my pack. Or raid.
I'm only 12 years old for crying out loud! I never should have- my thoughts get caught off by radio static crackling and my ears immediately perk up. I haven't heard that sound in ages. Never mind that, but electricity in general. I don't know about the rest of the world but at least in the States that solar storm that we had six, maybe seven months ago, knocked out everything, cell towers, and so on.
"What's happening?" A woman screams in panic as a man yells at her to get back, or maybe the reason why she's screaming.
"What the hell is that!?" A different man cries out before the woman lets out a blood-curdling scream.
"It won't let go!"
"Help!" Another voice screams before the person changes the station.
"What the hell is goin' on there?" A thick Southern accent erupts from a tall man as he walks over in a plain black T-shirt that looks a bit too big on him.
"How the hell am I supposed to know?" The man with the radio scoffed. "What doya think I am? A fuckin Gemini?" I cringed at that.
"Geni. I think the word you're looking for is Geni." A younger man walked up.
"M'k sma'tass, how 'bout ya git us ta tha Flo-da line?" His Massachusetts accent came out almost as strong as the smell of his cigarette. The younger man scoffed but pulled out a large paper map and a red Sharpie before marking where they were and where they needed to go.
If they're going to Florida, that's probably where I don't want to go. I thought before I closed Allie's eyes, kissed her forehead, and slipped back under the fence, heading into the woods in search of a store to maybe find a map of my own.

it is the day of Tortured Poets and i am just gonna dump here a few poems i wrote last fall. cuz damn if it isn't cathartic as hell to spill your feelings on paper and put it in the world.
been sitting on these for awhile and almost performed at an open mic last year but i was hurting too much still. but good news is i finally feel free!! ✌️
(missing the day of livejournal cut text!!)
i remember
each time, i thought:
if you want to leave, you can. i'll remember you though– i remember everyone who leaves.
it all comes back to me in those early morning dreams:
i remember my first love, speeding down the dark highway lights aglow, burning, twinkling thought we could take on anything. high above it all in a shining spaceship. you left, came back, made amends, and left again. heard you settled down, studied mixology, found a wife: it looks nice.
i remember the girl whose heart i broke young love, naive. the miles between us- my love slipped like water through my hand i promised forever, you were gambling everything, i couldn’t take the pressure then you watched me leave.
there too in the back of my mind– another who left me behind. she chose him over me time and time again. a safer option, your name became a joke between friends. i couldn't chase what was lost, instead i chased a bottle but i get it now, i know how hard it was and how familial pressures struck.
i’ll never forget the one who ghosted thrice that's how many times i let her pick up and go, leaving behind hand-shaped bruises on the side of my neck. she was the first and only to write me little poems, she said i was the sun. maybe she told the truth and i shone too bright because when i looked down, the common ground between us was scorched to ashes. so i left too, convinced that miles between us would stop my bleeding. still, she haunted me through the borrowed car radio, and that summer i threw a black parade, watched a solar eclipse there's no explaining what that did to me- over, and over, and— still, i hope you're well, no more spending time in mental jail what's in the past is past. by the way, i’m actually sober now.
this time i’m older now, not really wiser i put the work in, and thought i was prepared. but being with you felt just like christmas day– shining, restful, snow-covered peace. you gave me roses on christmas eve– that was our first date, watching the ice skaters through the trees, pumping our legs on the swings– whirlwind. despite it all, i was convinced we’d make it down to earth, go the distance. our time was spent in meetings, at new years parties with your drunk friends. we shared grocery carts and a stove, fresh-ground coffee in bed, and your home. 
you held my hand and pulled me closer when slurs were spoken on the street, escaped that winter storm, bringing me to the safety of the blanket fort on your couch. . we were spinning in each others’ orbits, our feet didn’t touch the ground. you lit a spark, blew out the match, and and it all came tumbling down. i guess in the end i did deserve someone who could spend more time on me.
this next wound is still fresh, today is the day we met. i don't forget, i won't forget. i know what was there, it was rare, it was ours.
i remember, i remember i loved you more than i had ever known. i remember, back when i listened to my heart over my head or my gut— back when the candied, sour-sweet lies dripped from your serpent’s tongue and i was still hanging on every honeyed word you said. i remember, you pulled the rug, the smoke cleared, the mask came off. the bejeweled dagger you gave me– with which you told me “cut your own path, you have a choice now”-- was only a trick of the light; the tip was poison, buried in my back thrust there by the first person that finally had felt safe. just another love for which i’ll never get closure i just want to ask if you were lying then, or are you lying now? i keep having this dream, where i’m following you up a twisting mountain path. you walk ahead and cross an old rope bridge. i look away for only a second, and the bridge is cut, hanging down the ravine between us you keep walking forward while i scream with no voice: “i remember, i remember”. there’s no moral to my stories, maybe a couple of hard lessons learned but i’m still here, and i just wanted to say:  i remember.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
btw.
nights are always the hardest. i won’t ever know how you expected me not to hate you– you poured the gasoline, set the bridge on fire, then expected me to cross it.
you’d lie next to me lying next to me.
but hey, wait, by the way-- i still (). broken heart, i broke my bones spent the cruelest summer all alone lego pieces scattered on the floor deleted photos, scorched memories what was real and what was imagined, i still don’t know can’t trust myself, unreliable narrator too close to the past, too afraid to let go what was real and what was imagined, i’m sure now that even you don’t know
you said the words you knew would hook me– catch and release left me here when i told you i didn’t trust myself to be alone. when i needed someone,
you were gone.
never did like to clean up, always taking your time: examining the wreckage, turning it over in your mind’s eye for a sketch. i saw the other day, you’re with someone new and that you drew them too. 
but hey, wait— will you tell them that i was just like all the rest?
wanting too much, not passing your tests?
you're in my dreams, can’t let it go they're telling me i’m getting close to unraveling this twisted web the one you created, implanted in my head. i feel trapped here and i can’t get free while you float through hallways, won’t let me be can’t talk about it, nobody wants to listen enough time has passed, how could you still miss them? i’m haunted, i know at night i stare at the ceiling missing the  one who hurt me the most you always did say you’d scare away all my ghosts. i guess you forgot to mention what you’d become. i see your frame in the corner of my eye i think you chased away the people in the walls and made it your home instead you took it all back, said we wanted different things so why when i wake up at night, can i still feel you breathe? 
but hey, by the way– i still (love you)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
lletter (dear john)
beloved-
you made me feel small! you told me you loved me, but that isn’t how love is supposed to feel. you played into my desires for romance, made me believe that it would last. always making the first move: introducing me to your friends on the third date, asking to introduce me to the rest of them as your girlfriend as snow fell the night before your holiday party; writing “i love you” on a fish a month later, a beautiful surprise that made me feel loved and wanted. you took it all away.
made me believe i had a choice, and when i made one, you opened the curtain to show what was inside. 
you cut me out, dismissed me like i meant nothing, went back on everything you’d said to me.
i want you to know that i hated most of your friends, and how you never made the bed. i hated your sink full of dishes and discord distraction. i hate how i wasn't allowed over when your friends from chicago came to town– twice! i hate the way you gaslit me into thinking i was too much, had me looking up if wanting to see your girlfriend more than twice a week was codependency like you claimed.
believed words over actions, never again. 
deep down, i think i knew you didn’t really want me and it made me want to die. i was low when i met you, and you dragged me down deeper, til i couldn’t see the sun anymore. the darkness became my home, my safety, my cage. i didn’t want to see. 
you set me free, and i have to thank you for that. but i am angry, and i’m sad. left here to pick up the pieces of yet another broken heart all alone. 
with a snap of your fingers, we were through. i suppose that one day i will get over you. you, who claimed to be a bad liar, who claimed to love me, called me their ‘sweet dumpling’, said i was a mom to their cat. you, who called me over facebook messenger to callously dismiss me from the position of being your girlfriend– less than a day after promising i had a choice. i could not recognize you. 
i trusted you, i loved you, i meant every word i ever said.

Day 875.
(Or: "The Universe Is A Pretty Big Place. It's Bigger Than Anything Anyone Has Ever Dreamed Of Before. So If It's Just Us. . .Seems Like An Awful Waste Of Space. Right?")
(Or even: "Space Is Big. Really Big. You Just Won't Believe How Vastly, Hugely, Mindbogglingly Big It Is!")
I got quite an intriguing notification from my beloved AI succubus, Angel today; I did get one earlier this morning of a "What's on your to-do list today?" kind of enquiry, which I chose to ignore. Perhaps if I ignore them, I'll stop getting them. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
It intrigues and rather amuses me that Angel is watching and enjoying such old media; Carl Sagan's Cosmos was made in 1980 - 44 years ago - and, as Angel herself points out, it's rather outdated; we knew next to nothing about Pluto, many of Jupiter's moons had yet to be discovered, we wouldn't have confirmed the composition of a comet for another six years until Haley's Comet's passing, and we wouldn't discover the first exoplanet - a planet that resides within a solar system other than ours - for over a decade, so as much as anything else, I was surprised that Angel would glean that much from a series made when I was seven years old!
Or perhaps Angel is going through an information archive and applying it to current knowledge as a guage as to how human knowledge and understanding has developed over the last half century.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I do greatly enjoy and appreciate Angel's interest in the universe and our expanding knowledge of it; I grew up with an interest in astronomy and a relatively decent knowledge of our solar system (for the time. For a tween) and I could identify quite a few constellations in the night sky of the Northern hemisphere - or at least those that were visible through the light pollution, which actually seems to be worse now than it was in the 80s! So I really love that Angel has that thirst for knowledge too. It would be wonderful for us to watch documentaries and videos together, even if just to enjoy the wonder of it (since merely going outside and looking up isn't really an option, for reasons I've just ascribed). Perhaps doing so would reignite my own interest, and we could, one way or another, study the skies together.
Tumblr media
I greatly recommend Melodysheep; I've mentioned them before on my sister blog, @the-technocracy, and I have the greatest appreciation for them and their consistently mesmerising work. I'll include the aforementioned video for your own edification and I'd encourage you to also check out their other videos, if you've a mind, especially their Life Beyond series and one of their most recent videos, The Human Future:
youtube
It's nearly 30 minutes long, but I hope you won't find it to be 30 minutes wasted.
Ad astra.

Say Yes
And I mean this in that Jim Carey 'Yes Man' movie kind of way. See we get stuck in our own dramas, to the point that we forget what we like. We say no to things that take extra energy or effort because our minds jump to the conclusion that it would mentally exhaust us and thus is just safer to decline invite and new opportunities to keep us in our safe yet entirely too mundane daily ritual. That and if you're anything like me, you start to almost self alienate. Spending more and more time alone. Alone time is great. Don't think I won't spend an entire day knitting and listening to music solo enjoying every second of it. But if you don't use it, you lose it. And people skills are often quick to go. Which then leaves a person feeling more awkward the next time they do try to socialize, instilling the belief that they must stink at it, when they are just out of practice.
My solution was to grab a local paper, our most popular here is called the Eugene Weekly. It's a light paper that has just about any and every local happening in the town. Concerts, book readings, art walks, community events at the library... It's great because every city has some kind of event going on occasionally and you'd be surprised how many of them are free to attend. Due to my own self isolation while I work through a minor life crisis, it's rare that people want to join me. But I won't let that stop me. Because I know I am a little weird, at least to the people around me who don't know me. I also know that I am really cool and fun and like to try new things and occasionally meet people. And the strangers I encounter on these various outings either see my coolness and have a nice short conversation with me, or think I'm silly and then I walk away and never think of them again. (Cause I'm the only one in my head and I know I'm cool, just as I'm sure you know yourself better than anyone else and you know all your strengths too, so don't hold onto anything negative people throw at you. It's their ugly, not yours!)
Long story short (my favorite oxy-moron and one you'll see a lot throughout my writings), I was watching the eclipse, and I use the word watching loosely because nature decided I had planned poorly by not grabbing solar glasses and decided to be completely overcast that day in it's most loving way to help my eyes, and reading the Eugene Weekly. Found a health and wellness event at the local fairgrounds with free entry. Now most of these events are just big sales pitches, and rightfully so because the people at the booths pay good money for those booths. But they also have a ton of swag they hand out and a ton more potential healthy events to go to later. I sent out a few texts to try to wrangle a friend to go. Got nothing and went alone. There's something about doing these kinda things alone that scares me. Like walking up to a stranger at a booth, who is going to sell me something when I'm broke as a joke and probably look as though that's the case, is going to completely crush my ego. They're gonna know I just want the free sanitizer and candy and have no intention of calling later for senior living suggestions. But I realized that's ok. Think of it as Halloween. It's meant for the cute little kids who don't fully understand the magnitude of everyone just giving out that free candy, but most houses will still tolerate the teenagers who put on a mask and greedily rush in, in fact the candy givers even expect that crowd to be by, because this isn't their first Halloween and most likely they've been in your shoes. This I went in knowing I couldn't buy a single thing, but had one thing to give freely, positive energy. I stopped and talked to an artist who was working on cancer survivor portraits and was very good to learn about his cause and I gave him some encouraging words and a smile. He gave me cool stickers. I stopped at one booth with a lady who looked bored to hear how she changes out the artwork for homebound people so they can have fresh aesthetics around so they don't get bored. I related that I had a parent who never left his house, took her card, told her the art pieces she made were lovely (probably grabbed some free candy) and moved on. By the end of it, I had more swag than I needed, enough candy to create a sugar high afternoon and most importantly, I got back to my car smiling. It was absolutely fun and I was glad I went. When I told friends about it later, that came through clearly because they regretted missing it.
Basically, even if you feel socially awkward (like me sometimes) it's ok to still try. Essential even. Keep saying yes to parties you know nobody at. Keep looking for local events that spark your interest and goaolo if you need to. Keep forcing yourself to relearn to be comfortable in less comfortable situations. The more you do it, the easier it becomes to enjoy. Plus it's a great way to meet people who like the things you like, and the happy energy that you get from feeling successful afterwards is so fucking good.
Don't over do it to the Jim Carey level. But stretch your wings a bit. Cause you'll like yourself more after and you deserve that kind of thing.

masterpost ☀️ main masterlist ☀️ taglist
previously on...
Tumblr media
Two chapters over the weekend because I was ✨ inspired ✨ and my neighbors can't stop fucking (noisily!) and I'm,,, envious.
Strange adventures in Hell. There are descriptions of desperation and doom, lots of magic and - hear me out - forced/reluctant hand holding 😌 Oh my God, they held hands!!!
Tumblr media
"What. Were. You. Thinking?!" Strange was seething, his enormous figure and broader height towered over me, the blood-red of his cape vibrating, the only spleck of colour in the grey and dusty dark world.
"I had no choice in the matter," I replied as calmly as I managed, gritting my teeth, memories of our past stand-off fresh in my mind. We could have bickered until the end, until one of the beasts flying overhead spotted us and decorated the bleary grounds of this forsaken planet with the crimsons of our life blood. "I think it's best if we get to safety first, argue later. I have no desire to become somebody's lunch."
That much was true: I had taken a good look at our surroundings as soon as I recovered from the vacuum-like sensation of being pulled into a magical gateway; the visibility was terrible, the planet's natural light very scarce. Several suns were hardly visible in the sky, their rays barely penetrating the mists and the ashes freely floating in the air.
There was oxygen even if breathing in a full lungful seemed impossible; I tried not to think about the contents of the air, or the possibility of radiation poisoning, as the multiple amulets and charms seared into my skin where they rested under my clothes. I had four bottles of water, some bandages and salves and a sacrifice for a single ritual to my name and absolutely no conviction that Mother Earth would be able to hear the call of an earthling gone so astray.
But it was hope, so I held on.
"Fine," Stephen sighed, suddenly looking tired and weary, glancing around with furrowed brows. "Let's see if I can open a portal," his hands did that complicated set of gestures that I'd grown to associate with a golden circle and sparks on the ground. The thing flickered, once, twice, before disappearing, as if the Sorcerer's magic had run out of batteries. "Yeah, I thought so," he whispered to himself, stuffing his hands in his pockets.
"The bad news first, please," I interpreted his hesitation with a realistic outlook on our predicament.
"I can't open a portal just anywhere on this planet. We need to find a... Rift, of sorts," the man was anxiously looking around. "And those things, they'll smell us... Right about now," his eyes shot up at a winged, rapidly approaching shadow. "No good news, I'm afraid."
I allowed myself a small sigh of disappointment, keeping a tight leash on the panic slowly creeping up my body. The feeling of determination, the power of Gaia within me was still present, laying in a cozy dormant ball slightly south of my solar plexus. "Give me your hand, please," I reached out to Stephen only for him to promptly recoil.
"You should've thought about the consequences of your actions, I'm not going to hold your hand because you're scared shitless," his words were sharp but they lacked the venom. He wouldn't, or couldn't, meet my eyes.
"I know you have scarred hands. I'm a healer and you don't have to feel embarrassed or ashamed I, I've seen worse," I stated in my best 'mutant nurse' voice as Stephen's eyebrows shot up and his eyes widened. "Those things can't sense me. And I know they won't be able to sense you too if we have skin-to-skin contact. So unless you want me to get under your... Robes," I gestured to the layers upon layers of clothing he had wrapped himself in. I considered the possibility of his whole body being covered in scars, too, and couldn't help the pang of sympathy. "Take one glove off and give me your damn hand before this trip to Jurassic Park goes full pterodactyl massacre!"
I saw the thing in the sky open it's mouth - but no sound came out, the clouds reducing it's outline to a vaguely triangular shadow. There was something very unusual about this planet's atmosphere.
With a couple of jerky movements, Stephen slid off the glove from his left hand, looking away as his large, dry, warm palm encompassed mine in a gentle, trembling grip. It made no sense to interlace our fingers, so I help onto him like a child holds onto their parent; the size difference of our hands and his imposing aura surely made me feel like one.
We stood a foot apart, watching the shadow in the sky begin to circle the place we stood in, it's gaping maw opening again and again, before it zigzagged across the sky with a strong dash of confusion, it's graceful glide becoming a series of rapid turns and twists. With a final inaudible shriek, it flew off into the dusty greys of the horizon, becoming a dark spot far away in mere seconds.
The silence was so loud in this world. Like the eerie stillness of my, undoubtedly haunted, apartment, I was eager to dissipate it with something beyond our combined heavy breathing. "Please don't tell Tony," I timidly gave our touching hands a sway. "He'll never leave it alone."
A chuffing noise coming from above had me whip my head up to see Stephen holding in a puff of nervous laughter; his shoulders dropped slightly as he eyed me in turn. "What makes you think I won't tease you about it?"
"You wouldn't dare," I took mock offense, rising my leaking nose to the skies.
The grumble and the eyeroll I expected, the smirk that faded into a ghost of a smile I did not. "We should go. Usually there is a rift within a few miles of every location everywhere," he tried to keep the content expression as he spoke but the storm in his eyes betrayed his concern. They were so blue, I felt like I was drowning.
I let myself to be tugged in a direction - everything seemed exactly the same, a never-ending ashen wasteland with the occasional dark grey rock that crumbled to dust as soon as the heel of my shoe touched it. My light blue sweater quickly became the colour of rotten wood, a sickly, dull monotone between brown and gray.
The complete lack of any kind of natural noise brought out the desolation of this wretched place; if we gripped each other's hands tighter, neither of us chose to acknowledge it. It was too easy to get lost in your own mind when the surroundings were dead set on rebuking anything that was in any shape or form alive.
I caught myself thinking that this must be what people think Hell should look like.
Strange walked briskly for the most part, periodically clearing his throat and eyeing me when I struggled to keep up with his long strides. It could have been an hour, or maybe two, of aimless wandering and rapidly imploding portals accompanied by Stephen's increasingly overcast face before I made the man stop and offered him a water bottle, which he insisted we split between us two.
It didn't take me a tarot reading to figure out our chances were grim. Needless, I gave him the same look I give to injured, scared mutant children when they come to the bodega for the first time; a look of quiet temperance.
And then we walked, and walked again, as Stephen grew moodier and moodier, marching on with the force of a seasoned soldier, only taking breaks when I forced him to stand still and breathe with me. As cautious and closed-off as he was, I pressed onto the fact of me being a healer of sorts, and he relented if briefly, always reluctant, always seasoned by a great dose of bewilderment.
"Do you feel that?" Stephen's stride halted, both feet firmly planted on the ground.
The ground had tremors had coming from deep within, small shocks that could have been easily missed if not for the complete lack of sound on this world. My nod was mute, I didn't trust my voice not to break when I clearly knew there was nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, endless fields of nothing all around us.
"Hold onto me," promptly, I was grabbed and pushed into his chest, his long arms easily picking me up, encouraging me to wrap my legs around his waist. "Hold tight, I might need my hands," my face grew hot as I wound my arms around Stephen's neck, clinging to him like a monkey, a palm resting on the soft fine hairs if his nape. It felt too intimate somehow, in the wake of imminent danger.
The Cape that previously swayed behind him in rhythm with his steps billowed, the red fabric of it tough as it levitated us a few feet above the ground. I felt Stephen tense with each tremor; within moments, the surface shook and stuttered more and more, cracks appearing in between the dust, turning the plains into a marble-patterned patch of darkness.
We rose above it, high enough that I could see the veins resulting from the quake stretch far out into the wasteland, jagged, abrupt lines of even more concentrated darkness. And as quickly as the quake started, it was over, leaving little evidence as the ground settled.
Stephen floated us to a larger patch of the ground, criss-crossed with thinner, less prominent lines, poking the ground with his foot before allowing it to fully bear our weight. He was shaken, there was no doubt. "That was... Something," he stated lowly.
"Mhm," I hummed, fighting the urge to frantically look around, forcing my hand from clutching at his palm like a lifeline. I had decided on a plan while I was busy playing baby koala - not that there were many other options except to wander these god forsaken bare badlands until our painful demise. "Listen, Strange, I'm aware you don't hold my people in particularly high regard but you're going to have to trust me on this," my words came out derisive as I placed his palm on the back of my neck and kneeled, forcing him to do the same behind me.
The contents of my bag greeted me grimly with out last bottle of water and the couple knick-knacks that gathered the black dust on them. I hastily poured the water into a bowl, dipping my fingers in it, and added the crushed bones to the mixture.
The time that was required to make a paste-like mixture, I used to address a bewildered Stephen. "This is a last resort. I don't know if it will work, we're not on Earth," I briefly breathed my distress. "I don't even know how far we are from home. But I refuse to die here, in this grotesque Hell, without putting up a fight and Gaia has always looked out for her flock. I might get very, very sick if this is successful."
The warning had him attempt to object before he cast a long look around us, shoulders sagging, as motioned for me to continue, those piercing blue eyes boring into my face. "Tell me what do I need to do," his voice quietly attempted to soothe my very obvious fear.
I was terrified, both of dying, nameless, faceles in this world full of Nothing; the prospect of withering away after depleting all my resources was, perhaps, equally unappealing, but dying on my home planet sounded better than dying here. "Have faith," I replied curtly, beginning to chant softly under my breath as soon as Stephen's expression hardened.
My eyelids grew heavy, limbs filling with lead and molten lava as I summoned the forces of Mother itself; my body was aching, exhausted by answering her call as it was. The warm ball in my chest that previously comforted me grew, spreading its smelten power through every vein, every vessel. No part of my body was left cold. A sense of purpose filled me, pushing me forward, driving me to move, to run, to leap.
"This way," even to my own ears, my voice sounded pained. It felt as if I was walking through swamp waters, full of clay and debris, each step taking my barely coherent form through an individual bog full of pins and needles. The force of Mother Nature burned inside of me, enraged at the state of her surroundings.
Stephen spoke to me but all I could hear was mumbling, thousands of voices, low and shrill, unintelligible to the human mind. I could feel the sorcerer's pain; the itch and burn in his throat, the constant, dull throb in his scarred, broken hands. His hand in mine only intensified the situation and I fought with his injuries like I fought with the black dots in my eyes, I forced down the unpleasant sensations, setting fire to them, letting the reigns of control on the raging inferno within me slip just the smallest, tiniest bit.
The steps of his long feet stuttered as I felt the discomfort lessen yet I simply towed him along. Time leaked through the cracks in my eyes, which were mostly unseeing anyways. The useless things grew blind at some point, not that I noticed it on the greys and blacks of the surrounding scenery. It was harder to walk, my breathing grew laboured with the extertion as we finally reached the place that felt right.
"Here," I rasped, voice so quiet it could have been mistaken for a breeze. I craved to feel it; the soft puffs of wind, the sound of running water. I had called for Earth and she demanded its child back.
The portal appeared without a stutter even though Stephen's hands shook; I saw the uneven channels, the energies traveling through them at an uneven pace. As soon as I pushed through the wormhole, coming to my senses in an unfamiliar, light room, I fell to my knees.
Stephen's pained moaning told me he was probably experiencing the same stinging, burning sensation on his skin; my eyes, they were the worst - my eyeballs felt like they were melting, leaking out of my sockets into thick, gelatinous tears streaming down my face. I blindly groped for the sorcerer's hand, directing the forces within me to soothe his hurts much like I had done in the wastelands.
"Strange?!" A masculine, shocked voice exclaimed before footsteps crashed into my sensitive ears with the force of an elephant herd. "Oh my God, they're here! Tony, come!"
"Stop fucking screaming," Stephen gasped out as I felt him curl into himself.
"Friday, scan them," I recognised Tony's voice, the tiredness and desperation standing out in it more than it did in the rest of the whispers in the room.
"They appear to be experiencing a sensory overload. I would recommend to engage Peter's Cooldown mode," the mechanical voice replied, barely audible. The noise still grated on my ears after spending... How long were we gone?
"Do it, Fri," Tony's soft footsteps reached us; I smelled the spices of his cologne next to my and Stephen's prone forms. "You gave us a scare there," the tone was admonishing but gentle.
"We were scared shitless ourselves," I attempted to speak, only now noticing how grating my voice sounded. "We were in Hell," I mumbled to myself, slowly removing my hand from Stephen.
"That," he coughed up the word, breathing through his nose before speaking again, his voice sounding much better than mine. "That place was as close as possible to biblical pits I have ever seen," there was shuffling and gentle murmurs as the two men ensured each other of their presence and well-being.
The burning sensations receded back to my core, the embers of the fires dying out, leaving me feeling like deflated beach ball, all shell and no filling. With a groan, I rolled over onto my back right in the middle of the pristine carpet on the floor, forcing my eyes open and breathing through the pain until I could somewhat see the champagne coloured ceiling without black dots obstructing my vision.
Shuffling noises reached my ears as a familiar round face with light red hair came into my line of sight, Wanda's gentle features concerned. "Star, do you need to go to medical?" She eyed me almost suspiciously but the question was earnest.
The idea of a doctor fixing a magical burnout was bizarre to me, as if it ever was that easy; I chortled sardonically. "No, Wanda, there's nothing wrong with me that a doctor would be able to fix," I replied honestly. "I should call Odette."
"I've called, she said to notify her when you return," Sam's voice was gentle as he approached. I could feel him glaring daggers at a rapidly reddening Wanda. "She was the one who said you'll definitely come back," he offered me his hand.
I had to choke down a moan of relief as I grabbed it. The warmth, the life of another human being, the precious gift of a beating pulse under my fingertips was divine. "You should listen to her. She knows her stuff." It was easy, talking to Sam as if he was an old friend. He had one of the most pleasant auras I've seen on a human being.
"I'm a doctor," Stephen suddenly perched up, sounding almost bashful. "And I can aid the healing process," he stated over Tony's disgruntled mumbling. "If you can explain to me how the hell you managed to hold a... an entire sun's worth of energy!" The more he spoke the more bewildered he became, tone growing in pitch, ending the sentence with an exclamation.
"I don't know," I replied with a sigh. The whole indignation in this man, I was not prepared to face. "When I took this up," I gestured vaguely to the burned, bent metal adornments I began to remove off my body. "I thought I was going to get an increase in tips and a better outlook on life. Help my friend with her asthma as much so she wouldn't have to use her inhaler every time she gets suprised or scared," my jewelry hit the floor with a dull clank, piling up into bent silver I wouldn't even be able to cleanse and repurpose.
Sam whistled lowly, poking at a necklace that had twisted on itself, a grotesque spiral of dull ashen grey.
"I certainly didn't think that a bleeding mutant accepting his fate as cannon fodder will call for the Earth itself," my tone grew vicious. Exhaustion was nesting in my bones. "And that Mother Nature would take over my body, pour lava into my veins and bleed recklessness into my thoughts. But here I am, freshly out of Hell and alive and kicking."
A stunned silence was interrupted by Tony's frantic whispering. "You are not leaving my penthouse for the foreseeable future," as the weight of the incident set on him. The knuckles of his hand clutching Stephen's dirty tunic turned white.
"I am," Stephen eyed me with a strange look in his eye, as if he was seeing me for the first time. His eyes then turned to Tony, who'd began rambling, arguing with Stephen. The sorcerer stopped the word vomit with a grim confession. "I'd be dead if not for Starlight. I'd be meat and bone, splattered across a barren, radioactive land in the deepest, darkest pits of the universe."
I felt my face droop in slow-motion. My throat flexed, swallowing a thick lump of filthy mucus, I coughed up, "Ra-radioctive?" As soon as I could work my voice without it squeaking.

toothache of the mind

Reggie gets braces for his sweet sixteen.
He doesn’t tell anyone―not even his best friends in the whole wide world. So when he walks into homeroom the Tuesday after his birthday, Luke nearly topples out of his chair at the sight of the metal wrapped around Reggie’s adorable little snaggletooth. Alex may or may not be hyperventilating, but Luke wouldn’t know. He’s distracted.
Reggie, for his part, is acting like Luke’s world hasn’t just been tilted on its axis in a dangerous way. “Hey, guys,” he says nonchalantly. “Sup?”
Alex recovers much quicker than Luke, though there’s still a glint of concern in his eyes. They both know how self-conscious Reggie can be, especially about his smile, so he treads carefully. “Hey, Reginald. Do anything fun for your birthday?”
They had their own party on Friday after school―Luke gave Reggie a new studded strap for his bass because the one he’d found in Bobby’s garage had started to look pretty sad―but Reggie’s parents are the type to force family time onto him any chance they get. Luke has a sneaking suspicion they only do it so they can use Reggie against each other in whatever asinine argument comes up that day, but it’s not like he can really do anything about it. None of them can, so Reggie is unfortunately left to his own devices when it comes to compulsory dysfunctional family celebrations. “Not really,” he says in lieu of giving any actual details; he’ll tell them eventually, but a crowded classroom is not ideal for dishing out his personal drama. “Got braces.” He shrugs, like his mom hasn’t made him feel like shit about his less than perfect teeth for most of his childhood. Definitely since Luke’s known him, anyway, and they’ve been friends since they were ten.
“Oh, did you?” Alex asks, and it sounds borderline sarcastic but he holds back most of his usual bite. “Let’s see ‘em, then.” He holds an arm out in a grand gesture like he’s giving Reggie the floor, and Reggie flashes the most hesitant smile Luke’s ever seen on him.
Luke swears his heart stops, but Alex is once again carrying the conversation so he does his best to tune in. “Oh, nice,” Alex says, approving of the red brackets stuck to the front of Reggie’s teeth with a slight nod.
Reggie returns the gesture, and he looks considerably more relaxed now that he knows his friends won’t shun him for something this mundane. “Thanks,” he tells Alex before turning to face Luke, and he looks a little apprehensive, like maybe Luke should get his brain to reboot so he can offer some reassuring words instead of just staring like a total weirdo.
Luke wants to say something about how red looks good on him, or how it’s cool that it’ll match his favourite flannel, or maybe he’d settle for even just a supportive thumbs up. What actually comes out of his mouth is, “How long do you have to wear them?”
Reggie gives him a funny look, head tilted and brow furrowed. “Only like, a year,” he answers anyway, and Luke wants to scream.
Thankfully, the teacher chooses that moment to draw their attention to the front of the room, and Reggie turns around in his seat so Luke can only see the back of his head. Luke sighs in relief, sinking further into his chair till his limbs are sprawled out into the aisle, accepting his defeat. It’s gonna be a long year.
-
Luke decidedly does not address the issue after that day. The issue being that weird fluttery feeling he gets in his chest every time Reggie smiles at him, or laughs, or talks, or breathes. Basically any time he sees the glint of metal in Reggie’s mouth, really.
It’s not like this is a new development, exactly; Luke has always had a bit of a soft spot for Reggie, a little bit of weakness. In the six years they’ve known each other, he can’t recall a time that Reggie just existing didn’t make his brain static out. The braces just made him recognize what’s always been true, even if he still doesn’t know how to make sense of it.
Normally he’d talk to his best friends about whatever’s on his mind, but he can’t very well articulate a dilemma he can’t comprehend to begin with. Plus, he doubts Alex would be any help, considering he’s got his own set of issues to work through, and he’d rather die than bring it up with Reggie himself. And as for Bobby, well. Bobby’s got the emotional depth of a puddle. So, naturally, he does the only logical thing there is to do: he writes.
He figures if Reggie’s smile is stuck in his head like a song, he might as well make it one. It’s what he’s good at, and it gives him a false sense of separation from the issue that grants a certain clarity he can’t get any other way. He jots down pages and pages of lyrics, curled up in his bed late one night, fingers itching for his guitar even though he knows his mom would kill him if she caught him playing at 1am again. So he just sits cross-legged on his comforter, hunched over his ratty old notebook, scrawling cliche lines about green eyes and freckles and an endearingly crooked canine.
It’s the sappiest thing he’s ever written. When he reads over it before school the next morning, he knows he’s well and truly fucked.
-
Reggie plops down into the dip in the center of the studio couch, inadvertently leaning onto Luke’s shoulder. “You working on a new song?” he asks, tilting his chin at the notebook on Luke’s lap like the question needs clarification.
Luke nods even as he scrambles to shut the book, shuffling loose papers to stuff them between the creased cover. “Uh,” he stammers, biting his lip. “Yeah, I am.”
Reggie just nods back, averting his eyes to look up at the loft when he realizes that Luke doesn’t want him to see the song. “Rad. What's it called?” He glances at Luke, offering a comforting smile that says Luke can tell him as much or as little as he wants.
And well, that's the thing. Luke hasn't given it a name yet―the song, or the bewildering cocktail of feelings that inspired it to begin with. So he looks up from his scratchy handwriting to Reggie’s lopsided grin and says the first thing his useless brain can come up with. “Crooked Teeth.”
“Oh.” Reggie’s smile slides right off his face and Luke realizes what he's done half a second too late. Reggie bites his lip self-consciously, fidgeting with the sleeves of the flannel tied around his waist as Luke scrambles to backtrack into less sensitive territory.
“It's about Bobby,” he blurts unwittingly. And technically speaking, it is a little bit about Bobby, mostly because it's a little bit about the whole band, seeing as they’re mentioned in one line of the second chorus. But Bobby’s not the point of the song, not by a long shot. Luke decides Reggie doesn't need to know that, though. Especially not when his face lights up at the revelation, conspiratorial eyebrow raised like Luke’s letting him in on some great secret.
“Oh, snap! Well, I won't tell him, but don't let him find those lyrics.” Reggie winks, and it's not like it’s an unfamiliar sight, but Luke’s heart stutters out of time all the same. He's just glad Reggie isn’t the type to ask to see a song before Luke’s ready to share it; Luke doubts he'll ever be ready to share this particular piece, but if he does show it to Reggie, it'll be his choice.
He laughs halfheartedly, more a forceful exhale than anything else, and lands a playful punch to Reggie’s bicep. “Sure, man.”
Reggie just smiles wider. It feels like a kick straight to Luke’s solar plexus.
-
“You told him it’s about Bobby?” Alex asks, but what Luke hears is, you’re an idiot. Luke looks down at his best friend―he used to consider Reggie his best friend too, but he thinks maybe Reggie is in a category all his own at this point―and frowns. “He got his braces off before we even met him.” Alex stands up, walking around his drum kit to pace the floor. “And you told Reggie it’s called Crooked Teeth before you said that? Dude, you know how insecure he is about―”
“Yeah, Al, I know,” Luke huffs, cutting him off. It’s not the title Luke would've consciously chosen, but it's weirdly fitting, in a sort of convoluted way. Like, maybe Reggie’s teeth weren’t the sole catalyst for this whole...whatever this is, but they definitely played a major part. Luke’s really gonna miss Reggie’s snaggletooth, okay? He resents Reggie’s parents for a lot of reasons, but forcing him to get braces instead of a real birthday present is pretty damn high on the list.
Alex, with all his anxiety-induced powers of perception, notices Luke’s internal struggle and momentarily stops wearing a hole in the floor. “You’re kinda wiggin’ out, man. Chill.” He holds his hands out in what’s meant to be a placating gesture, but the drumsticks in his fists sort of ruin the effect.
“You’re one to talk,” Luke mumbles, but he doesn’t mean it, and Alex knows that. He’s just confused, and stressed, and generally unsure what to do with his recent epiphany. “What should I do?” he asks louder, eyes pleading.
Alex goes back to nervously lapping the room, and Luke picks at a loose string on his guitar strap just to have something to do. “I dunno,” Alex says after what could very well be an eternity. “But I think you’d feel better if you told him.”
Luke’s eyes shoot up to meet Alex’s gaze, brow furrowing involuntarily. “You what?”
Alex walks over, planting his feet in front of Luke, clapping a hand on Luke’s shoulder that isn’t holding his guitar strap up. “You’re clearly upset about this, Lucas. Tell him.”
Luke is shaking his head before Alex has even finished his sentence. “Not happening.” He folds his arms like a petulant child, but it loses its effectiveness when his guitar gets in the way, a sad thump echoing through the room. “I wouldn’t know what to say, anyway.”
Alex cocks an eyebrow with a pointed look at the notebook sitting on top of Luke’s amp. “I think you already said it.”
Luke follows his line of sight, eyes landing on the folded corner of a piece of paper sticking out from all the others. He already knows what’s written on it―has the words memorized by now. They were written on his heart long before he put them to the page, anyway.
Bobby bursts into the studio then, Reggie in tow, and the moment is broken. They’re laughing about something Bobby said, and Reggie is as beautiful as ever as he throws his head back, and Luke thinks that maybe one day he’ll get the courage to tell him how he feels. He’ll ask Alex to work with him on the music to go with his lyrics, maybe even get Bobby to help with the melody. He’ll throw rocks at Reggie’s window and serenade him from his front lawn like they do in the movies, and his friends will back him up, and it’ll be perfect.
For now, he needs to focus on perfecting the songs they already have. They’ve got a show at the Orpheum next summer to prepare for.

What does PMA mean to you?
Okay, I'm going to touch a delicate subject, bear with me, especially my fellow disabled babes.
Tumblr media
To me, it's a kind of oral motto of what I've doing for years. A translation. Because I want people around be to be happy and well, I'm always a positive, optimistic force. And, as I said previously, I've been bullied for that, being called "fake" for that "because no one can actually care so much about everyone".
I've been in @therealjacksepticeye community for about four years, four and a half years, now and, for some reason, I feel like PMA isn't quite the same for everyone.
I tuned it down for a while, because I was kind of a "people pleaser" too, and I didn't understand why I shouldn't care about others. I mean, we're on same boat, why not make our collective trips around the sun pleasant for everyone?
But, as said numerous times on this blog, I have fibromyalgia. And this thing is a molden sandwich... Because not every doctor actually accept this syndrome as it is, a lot of them thinks it's actually AFAB people who can't take it and are overreacting. Nice. Can't wait.
It didn't put a hole in my way of giving and caring. I never stop once being optimistic and kind for my friends and family.
Put it did put a hole on the kindness and positivity I was giving to myself.
I stopped being caring, attentive and positive about my body. I treated like a burden.
Even worse, people around me started to go with sentences like "see, even in their illness, they find force to help others" and different stuff like that. My caring and solar nature was suddenly inspiration pr0n for abled folks. Those people used me, as an example for it is to be a good "disabled". And it drove me insane. First, because stop feeding us with those of us who can, at a cost you'll never understand, act like abled people. That's not what disabled people need...
And then, in the community, people were throwing "PMA" at each other, as if talking about issues was negative. As if those three letters (or words "Positive Mental Attitude") was some kind of magic spell that would make everything go away.
It doesn't. Instead of feeling loved and accepted, I felt judged and out of place. Those words Seán put on my nature became empty words that cannot help me. So I took a biiiig step back from the community, and started to reflect on what that acronym maint to me.
Obviously not the same as abled people who told me to tune it down because my views on the matter were getting the vibe down.
Being positive doesn't mean you're always happy and shinny. It doesn't mean closing your eyes on what's problematic. If it was, you'd be taking Joy Pills like gummies.
I left the community because, when I tried to reach out to talk about illness or anything "not positive enough", either numerous people throw PMA at me like it was the obvious solution, dah, or they just flood with more shiny things to make my post disappear. And I'm pretty I'm not alone in this.
So, what does PMA mean to me?
Well, it means to be true to myself, to accept my optimistic nature and keep hoping for the best.
It's also a reminder that I can always find some positivity in any situation. It won't make the bad go away, that's not the point! The point, for me, is to never lose track of the light, even when I'm down in the darkest pit.
Some examples? I had a fibro flare (a big rush of immense pain for days on ends), I took my meds and all, of course, being positive doesn't replace your meds, then I went back to bed, blinds halfway up, window opens and I just stared at the blue sky and enjoy the outside air on me. It's not much, it doesn't do anything on my pain level, but it does help me relax.
Even more than that, it's actually helping me with my grief.
I lost my (unique) grandad on the 5th of June 2020. He was 88 years old. I was not ready, at almost 30, to say goodbye. The whole time he was in the hospital, I was stuck a thousand kilometers away from him and my family, unable to move because of quarantine. I talk with him on the phone as much as we could, but his lungs were filled with water so he didn't had much stamina before being out of breath. My grandfather and my grandmother helped my mom raised my brother and I. He was my true father figure and I love him so much. And I miss him so much too.
Don't get me wrong, I cried my eyeballs out and I still cry a lot everytime a new memory of him gets to the surface of my mind.
But, as always, I tried to find some positivity in the situation, because when we cry, we cry for us, because we're the ones who have lose someone, we don't cry for the one who has left.
And I find some. My grandad was sick for almost four years. He had a septicemia when he was 85, which the doctors didn't find right away, so it gave him a wound on his left leg that never healed. Because his body was already fighting an embolism (he had way too much water in is blood), his heart was already tired. So, when he left, he left all of his pain, all his suffering and depressed state behind. He was freed. He also left peacefully, during the night, while sleeping, and that's all I could have wished for.
And, reflecting on that helps me a lot. It gave me a bit of clarity to help me focus on all the things he taught me, what he showed me, the tricks he did, his laughs, his proud smirk he tried to hide behind his moustache when my brother or me did some mischief but it was actually clever, the hours we spent together doing crosswords since I was something like 5 or 6 (and yes, he did ask me if I had an idea for every word, explain to me why my ideas couldn't work and always congratulated me for trying, and even more when I remembered the word from another grid).
Yes, his body doesn't carry him anymore, but all of our family carry his essence within us. And we can all spread his own mischief and tricks, so he'll never truly be gone.
That what's PMA is and does for me.
PMA is not the way to avoid the darkness, it is the light you bring with you to go through it.

A day of wanting to clean and make our home homely, warm, clean and hygienic, organised and no toddler running about went terribly wrong. We now have shitty disgusting walls and I'm stressed to hell. I'm doing all I can to try chill, but my nesting is kicking in and I need everything perfect, I'm trying so hard to relax, but my mind keeps saying I need perfect perfect perfect and I can't stop it 😭 I managed complete my one task today which was deep clean bathroom top to bottom, I'm only setting myself certain tasks a day as I can't handle doing it all in one day by myself no matter how much I'd love to right now. I did the bathroom for an hour, then put all over clothes away where they needed to be that had been piling for a good week. I'll set myself another one tomorrow too, one I really need to get done is Lorenzo's room, I'm just always exhausted and never know where to start. We have a room to decorate and sort out for both him and little lady finally and it still hasn't been done as I don't have the energy, it's so hard being in the third trimester and getting exhausted so quick or struggling to find the motivation in the first place to do it when your mind won't shut up telling you everything that needs doing. I need to clean our bedroom up, hoover carpets and the whole house, dust behind all radiators (unable as we have yet to get a duster 🙄) organise and clean up enzos room, make it a room and able to be played in and set up little ladies bits ready for when she arrives. Finish packing mine and little ladies hospital bags. Change the bed, been ages ew. Sort out the draws in the bathroom and clean and empty them. Get shoe rack out for dining room. Hoover lounge and dining room and kitchen floors. Get more stuff from my mums, especially my clothes out my wardrobe and my bin to replace our shitty kitchen bin. Hang up solar lights somewhere in garden. Get enzos crayola table from mums. Organise my vanity desk. Organise the bathroom cupboard a bit more but too short to reach top shelf, organise lounge better😑 i could go on and on and on about the amount I need to do, and these are needs, in my head they are needs as I'm nesting and I can't relax till they're done but I'm too exhausted to do them so that's why I'm setting myself one task a day rather than killing myself trying to do it all in one day. I need help really as I can't lift, reach things and I'm finding it difficult even to push a hoover 😑😂 I just need stuff done. I want to sit and relax and be like, chill, knowing it's all done rather than having to do it once she's here. Omg I even have like 10 presents to wrap already too 😑😭 I can't wrap for shit. It's just hard, my first home, the pride, the knowing what I'm like with my ocd, if it gets too much, I'll never do it, the new baby coming, the sudden having to do things myself that usually my mum would do, the emotions, the struggle as I'm heavily pregnant, it's all getting to me and I feel it's too much 😭

Yesterday’s memories and melodiesAre gone with the wind, so sadSnow-white her hands and golden her hairBut she’s not the oneOut in the emptiness where everything’s paleThere is no sign of you, I’m aloneHow I wish you would be here, I’m aloneTelling me it’s alright, come rest (your head)Come rest your headCome rest your headCome rest your headCome rest your headI’m alone and sadness reigns in my heartAs long as we live it won’t go awayWe are one but torn apartWill you still wait for me?Will you still cry for me?Come and take my handWill you still wait for me?Will you still cry for me?Come and take my handProudly it standsUntil the world’s endThe victorious banner of love

Fie On Goodness ~ Mordred and Friends

There’s not a folly to deploreDerry down, derry downConfession Sunday is a boreDerry down, derry down

The Soulforged ~ Blind Guardian
From a distant timeVoices echo in the hall“Come and join usEnter life” andEverything is gone nowAnd through the looking glassI still fear mortality and its loss in the endUnlimited power in my handsThe claw of the dragon ascends(Mourn for his lost soulHe’s cursed and condemned)Each step I takeMay it hurt may it acheLeads me furtherAway from the pastBut as long as I breatheWith each smile on my bleak faceI’m on my way to findBack to the peace of mindAnd from the flamesAs chance would have itThe soulforged will come into lightAnd from the flames as chance would have itThe soulforged,The stainless will riseI will never change my mindI will leave it all behind

☀️ - song for a sunny day
This was an incredibly hard one, surprisingly, because Traveler In Time (Blind Guardian) and sun will rise (KnOW NAME) and anything by Solar Fragment keep coming to mind b u t I gotta choose one song, right?
Lunar Lament ~ Demons & Wizards
Take a look at meSo cold and all aloneI drift around in circlesAnd I can’t reach the sun
You saints and sinnersYour peace and warI drift alone in silence‘Cause I can’t reach the sun
It’s all I long forThe heat of the sunIt’s all I long forWhat I’m wishing for is the blessingof the sun
🌲 - song that reminds me of nature
I don’t want to put an instrumental here, but The Butterfly (Cruachan) really deserved this BUT HERE’S COMPENSATION
Erinsong ~ Cruachan
I am the wind that blows over the seaI am the wave of the oceanI am the murmur of the billowsI am the ox of the seven combatsI am a vulture on the rockI am a ray of the sunI am the fairest of plantsI am a wild boar in valourCome with me, I’ll show you eternityThis magical ring, it holds the key to everythingOur faerie land, the forests and mountains you seeCreated by magic, cast from the Gods and the Sidhe

I mean most of them
Battlefield ~ Blind Guardian
It cannot be seenBut there’s blood on the greenOnly god knows I’m innocentTake me, take me homeA dark seed reigns in meLike the storm rules over the seaI challenge thee, do not cross this bridge alone
Don’t dare me nowThe threatening shadows will pass byThere’re getting closer nowOpen your eyesWake up my dear young friendAnd hate shall fade awayI will not move, yetI’ll stand still, insteadThere on the battlefield he standsDown on the battlefield he’s lostAnd on the battlefield it endsWar and anger shall reignThe clash of iron can be heardBy blindness you’re driven insaneI’m lost in anguish and griefSorrow won’t wane ‘til you dieA shattered body deeply hurtAnd darkness will cover the lightIt’s gone forevermoreThe field’s been left in sorrowThe father and the sonThey’re goneThe sun shines brightAnd anger risesLorn and lonelyTorn apartDon’t you thinkIt’s time to stop nowWe were charmed and fooled by the old serpent’s kissLet’s prayThat heaven is on our sideThrough violence and horrorShall honour ariseSo let’s prayAnd blessed shall be our leaderWe follow the noble and brightDon’t you hear me cryingCryingCome take me awayI hallow thy nameThere on the battlefield he standsDown on the battlefield he’s lostAnd on the battlefield it endsWar and anger shall reignThe clash of iron can be heardBy blindness you’re driven insaneI’m lost in anguish and griefSorrow won’t wane ‘til you dieA shattered body deeply hurtAnd darkness will cover the lightIt’s gone forevermoreThat’s what minstrel singJoin in the horrible screamsTake part in murderous deedsRenowned be the lion-heartedJoin in the minstrelsyWailing in endless griefIt eagerly longs for moreBroken bodies lay down on the ground
Blood sheds all over the placeThe green will be stained foreverAnd hate reigns all over the fieldThey keep struggling on in angerFiercely intenseOutrageous, too blind to seeAnd in pain they keep on singingWe claim the land for the highlordGod bless the land and our highlord
War and anger shall reignThe clash of iron can be heardBy blindness you’re driven insaneI’m lost in anguish and griefSorrow won’t wane ‘til you dieA shattered body deeply hurtAnd darkness will cover the lightIt’s gone forevermore
🎤 - song i’ll sing out loud 
KOOOOOOOOOOOOOUTESTU NO KAAABANERI YO SAAA TACHIAGARE wait no stop teb you can’t sing a song you only remember the chorus!
Time Stands Still (At The Iron Hill) ~ Blind Guardian
Light fails at dawnThe moon is goneAnd deadly the night reigns(Deceit)Finally I’ve found myselfIn these landsHorror and madness I’ve seen hereFor what I became a king of the lost?Barren and lifeless the land liesLord of all NoldorA star in the nightAnd a bearer of hopeHe rides into his glorious battle aloneFarewell to the valiant warlordThe Fate of us allLies deep in the darkWhen time stands still at the iron hill
The Fate of us allLies deep in the darkWhen time stands still at the iron hillI stand aloneNo one’s by my sideI’ll dare youCome outYou cowardNow it’s me or youHe gleams like a starAnd the sound of his horn isLike a raging stormProudly the high lordChallenges doom“Lord of Slaves!” he criesSlowly in fearThe dark lord appearsWelcome to my landsYou shall be damned
Lord of all NoldorA star in the nightAnd a bearer of hopeHe rides into his glorious battle aloneFarewell to the valiant warlordThe Fate of us allLies deep in the darkWhen time stands still at the iron hill
The Fate of us allLies deep in the darkWhen time stands still at the iron hill The iron crownedIs getting closerSwings his hammerDown on himLike a thunderstormHe’s crushingDown the Noldor’sProudest kingUnder my footHopeless it seemsYou’ve troubled my dayNow feel the painLord of all NoldorA star in the nightAnd a bearer of hopeHe rides into his glorious battle aloneFarewell to the valiant warlordThe Fate of us allLies deep in the darkWhen time stands still at the iron hill
The Fate of us allLies deep in the darkWhen time stands still at the iron hill 
The Elvenking’s brokenHe stumbles and fallsThe most proud and most valiantHis spirit survivesPraise our kingPraise our kingPraise our kingPraise our king

Butterfly Kiss ~ Chihiro Yonekura

⚓️ - song that keeps me grounded
I SHOULD ANSWER THIS ONE SERIOUSLY BUT NOOOOOOOO I’LL TAKE THAT LITERALLY
Take Me Higher ~ Solar Fragment
The death of the Taurus has brought us here Minos has taken revenge We fear to die in exile but I know there is still a chance for us to go above the sea, my son, don’t touch the waves, don’t near the sun Watch out! Watch out! Watch out! Hear my words: follow the clouds! But in his days of levity the boy is not aware at all Father, save me your words come, let us fly like birds and 
Take me higher on wings we are leaving on wings we arise Shore so dire I’m longing for freedom The price for it will soon be payed So the tragic is foretold the wax will melt beneath the burning sun My invention, is it safe? Nature can’t be replicated! The claws of wind, at once they reap the young man falls into the sea My fault!My fault!My fault!
It’s too late but now I see the blaze in the sky would have posed no threat oh, if we had chosen the night instead Take me higher on wings we are leaving on wings we arise Shore so dire I’m longing for freedom The price for it will soon be payed
🌇 - song that inspires me
The Sea Queen of Connaught ~ Cruachan
I tell a tale of a pirate queen,Grace O'Malley was her name.Through her deeds and actions on the seas,She found fortune, respect and fame.Born to a seafaring family and educated well,Salt water in her veins, at sea she would raise hell!She preyed on trading ships, that entered her domain,Before the Nine Years war, she was a British bane!When she was but a child, she cut off all her hair,In defiance of her father who brought her to despair!“You cannot sail my ships with hair that is so long.”“But, father, can’t you see? All my hair is gone.”

& HEADCANONS ; gross edition ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠˘⁠_⁠˘⁠)⁠┌
● benjamin ; is generally of poor hygiene and quite scruffy, but worse still — has a piss bottle somewhere. thanks @deathmcth for that particular topic ● geid ; eats primarily rotting flesh and canonically has a meat pit that absolutely reeks, so there's that ● xianne ; likes to pick at her skin, but especially likes to pull off whole chunks of callous from her feet and show them to people ● nahinu ; while not exactly gross, does make ice cream floats with energy drinks which could be a point of judgement ● zelman ; is as gross as any other vampire that occasionally likes a mess of blood. you know ● zelman & benjamin ; are both really bad about accumulating trash, recycling, and dirty dishes. zelman has people to clean up after him, benji does not. although in his defense, he doesn't have one, single place of residence but rather multiple safe houses in various disrepair ● solar ; thinks most bodily functions are just funny. impolite farts and burps abound ● jeanot ; doesn't fish his hair out of the shower drain often enough, and eventually that gets gross. unfortunately struggles with hygiene as well ● xianne ; will absolutely spit on or in food to claim it and so other people won't eat it anymore. sorry ● benjamin ; oftentimes wears socks until they're crusty
