#I'm honestly in tears

[captainkirkk]

I want to see characters being taken care of in an explicit and worshipful way. Home-cooked meals. Hair brushed and braided by gentle hands. Little gifts just because.

I want to read about characters who are not used to kindness being bombarded by acts of service. This trope works romantically and platonically. Give me found family and acts of service - all the ways a character is wrapped up in wordless, explicit care after years of cruelty and having no idea how to handle. I need it.

#fanfiction #this is the 'comfort' part of hurt/comfort #but i want to take it to the extreme honestly #not just comfort immediately after a traumatic event #but consonant daily comfort! #being taken care of because you are loved always and unconditionally #this is the real reason why i sometimes read sugar daddy AUs even though i don't like them #i want to read about characters being SPOILED #this is also why i love the mdzs love interests so much #luo binghe is the ultimate worshipful house husband and i love that #my posts #you can tell i'm irrationally tired when i start getting tear-eyed over someone being cooked a meal

Thinking about Sephiroth's motivations in Rebirth and getting super emotional because fuck, man, I get it. I get it. It doesn't excuse anything, but I get it in a way I can't even describe.

The Gi establish that those who aren't native to Gaia can't join the Lifestream basically at all, they're held separate entirely; the Gi have never been in it directly, their ghosts wander in a little liminal space they crafted for themselves. This is because they're entirely foreign—the Gi appear to be interdimensional travelers that were somehow marooned on Gaia at some point in ancient history, where they died and were left as ghosts, lingering forever unable to move on.

Sephiroth is slightly different in that he was born on Gaia and he does have human parents as well as Jenova, so he can force his way into the Lifestream as we saw in Lifestream Black and Advent Children, but he can't disseminate into it. He's still conscious and cognizant in some capacity even as the Lifestream fights to strip away the parts of him that belong on the planet, the parts of him that were human. This is, presumably, why his memory is all fucked up postcanon, whether we're talking novels or spinoffs; the Lifestream has been trying to take him but it can't, because there's too much Jenova in him, so the parts of him that have survived are just the parts that are the son of Jenova. He hasn't been fully worn down by the time the Crisis rolls around, likely because his body is still partially intact in the Northern Crater. (Again, see Lifestream Black, as well as the OG.)

And here's where everything starts to hurt.

He's alone. No matter what Sephiroth does, he's entirely, completely alone. There is nothing in the world like him, the planet won't accept him—it's not death, it's a homecoming, and Sephiroth has nowhere to go home to.

And he's done this before, this is a repeating timeline, he's been through this before over and over and over. And he's always alone in the end. He's always there at the edge of creation, the end of all things, the kindling of a new universe, and he's still there. All alone.

So this time he's calling for the ultimate Reunion. He's not just calling his Clones home, he's pulling all of time and space together into a single planet, bolstered with the lingering Lifestream of hundreds, thousands of others, timelines where things fell apart and Gaia sat on the precipice of death before Sephiroth found her and tore the Lifestream loose to feed the timeline he's chosen as the most likely to survive.

Three friends go into battle. One is captured (Genesis, in Deepground), one flies away (Angeal, who chose his own death), and the one who remains becomes a hero.

Heroes save the world.

But it doesn't matter, does it? Because he's going to be alone. Zack asks how he could turn his back on everything, and he says "Easily." Aerith asks how he could possibly want an eternity alone—because she doesn't understand, that's what Sephiroth has waiting for him anyway. That's all he's ever had waiting for him.

Sephiroth is going to save a world that will never accept him, because that's what heroes do, and then he's going to be alone forever. But this time, for the first time in every timeline he's experienced, he's going to do it on his own terms. He knows what he is, he knows how this ends, he has no questions of that. But for once in his existence—and it's a long existence, unending, eternal in a way that neither human nor Cetra could never even comprehend—he's going to control exactly how that happens.

Sephiroth knows he can't control whether or not he ends up alone, but he can choose how it happens. He can do things right this time. Maybe if he saves the world it will be different. Maybe the planet will accept him. Maybe he won't be alone.

And if he is (and he knows he will be), at least it was on his own terms.

At least, for once in the whole of creation, Sephiroth had a single flicker of control over his own existence. For once in the entirety of existence, Sephiroth made a decision for himself.

He'll have to live with that decision, alone, for eternity—but it was his.

Probably the most you could ask for or get, considering the circumstances. Doesn’t help with all the conflicted emotions it brings up though.

Toriel's regrets about choices she’s made showed up in that nightmare she had a long time ago and in a few other places, haha. It does weigh on her at times.

Danhausen tweeted this after his GCW match and I couldn't help but think about his tweet when he started looking for bookings

#reading ''danhausen is alive'' made me feel like I could cry honestly because his booking tweet made me want to sob #like HE WANTS TO FEEL ALIVE AGAIN. and now he's alive. #look what he can do when you let him actually wrestle and take him seriously! and he seems so happy compared to how frustrated he's been #tk when I get my hands on you. book danhausen better you absolute fucking moron #I'm so proud of this demon cause he works fucking hard and he deserves better but when it was clear nobody was gonna do better for him #he did it for himself #he seems as happy to be in the ring wrestling as we are to see him there and it just makes me feel big feelings #*through tears* love that danhausen #GCW #Danhausen

rdr2 is such a special game to replay because. god. the whole thing is a ghost story. the gang is dead before they even reach colter. everything that tears them apart - the mistrust, the friction, the loss, the lack of place and time - it's there from the beginning. before the beginning. papered over by a veneer of love and care and family but when the last of it leaves they're all just. gone. scraps of newspaper headlines faded in the sun and wooden grave markers that will rot and fall back into the earth. if you've played rdr you know what happens to these characters. you play your first playthrough of rdr2 knowing you're hurtling towards an inescapable end. you play every one thereafter knowing the end has already come.

#they're not doomed by the narrative. they're at odds with the narrative. this is a story that was never meant to be told #but it mattered. it fucking mattered. #this game makes me want to tear my hair out honestly #i'm also losing my mind thinking about writing a fic where the strange man pays each gang member a visit #so there's that #reiver plays rdr2 #rdr2

Once again, I can't think of anything better and more concise to say on the matter than this.

Ed "stans?" Ed "apologism?" You mean the fucking show? You mean the show Ed is a main character in, that goes out of its way to depict his relationship with violence as complex and nuanced? You mean the show that continually tells us Ed is a complicated man with a great deal of trauma related to violence, who is horrified by his own capacity to perform violence when required of him? You mean the show that writes Ed as an extremely sympathetic and likeable character? The show that asks us to consider Ed's relationship with violence as a tool of self-preservation, yes, but also shows us Ed's pain and heartbreak?

If you're talking about that show then call me an Ed stan I guess

#ofmd #our flag means death #i'm still so sad it's too much to ask for a fandom not to be racist about a brown main character #why do ed's tears mean nothing to some people! #calling fans of the main character of a show “apologists” and “stans” is just. a weird take honestly

✨Surprise! ✨

I'm launching a new story for my dark cream ship kids and co ^^

I usually don't warn before the first part is done but I thought Mimosa's birthday was a good day to announce it!

A Tear's Soul!

I already showed that drawing (hehe it's the cover) but now I can talk about it ;3

The project is gonna a mix of comics and writings (because I'd burn myself out trying to do full comic when I'm not very experienced in those... They're hard, ok?)

Sooo it's gonna take me a while........................

Even if I try to shorten it as much as possible (10 parts unless problems)

I think the ones who'd be interested all know how my projects usually go, it's not gonna be a cute, fluffy story uwu. It'll have some fluff tho promise, but angst is part of the journey here! I'll give warnings each time I feel it's necessary :P

So!

If it interests you and you wish to be tagged on it, tell me now and you'll be tagged in each update :D

[I had to compress that gif, it was too big XD]

#me doing artz #minz gif #that gif took me so long honestly #A Tear's Soul #Mimosa #for once I'll write that story in the present timeline #dark cream ship kid #me yelling surprise as if I didn't know it's gonna interest only max a handful of persons #still for them #I hope I won't take too long to finish it tho #currently drawing the first comic: I want to set the whole background concept on fire #oh also I'm not full coloring #just a solid color with some stuff colored if important #and I'm not trying to get something perfect out #otherwise I would not succeed #so don't expect something beautiful?

tfw for some reason you find an immense amount of comfort in simply being near someone

#butterfly soup #butterfly soup 2 #ppkm #roi draws #ppkmweek2023 #um I just think they're neat. I didn't want to do too hurt comfort because I honestly can't top the piece I did about a year ago #(I'll find it and reblog it) #but erm. idk. do you ever think of how in noelle's chapter she's like. will I cry when my mom dies? and then the juxtaposition of her - #breaking down to tears over akarsha once she gets back home at the slightest indication of her not being okay. ummmmm (weeps violently) #anyways. I think even outside of their romantic relationship they are so important to each other which makes me weep #idk what I'm saying I'm just saying I care them okay #ouuuuhhhhg. ouuuuuughggghggg

was thinking about how sometimes i see people say vil is the only overblotter who apologized and tried to make up for his actions--and yes, we should definitely give vil credit for his maturity and willingness to take responsibility! but i think those people are forgetting someone else here.

someone who, as soon as his friends managed to get through to him, cried and admitted that he didn't even entirely like what he was doing. someone who, as soon as his childhood best friend finally told him that the way he acted was wrong and that he owed everyone an apology, told everyone there at the time that he was sorry. someone who, when a dormmate of his who he hurt told him that just crying and saying sorry wasn't enough, did exactly what he was asked to do to make up for it and didn't even question it--and even though he didn't get things exactly right, genuinely tried his best and allowed himself to laugh at his mistake! someone who immediately from then on started gradually taking steps to get himself to be kinder and worry less about the rules!

that's right, if you think vil is the only one who apologized and tried to make up for the actions that led to/resulted from his overblot then you're forgetting riddle, our other queen! and riddle deserves his credit for all of this. cater even mentions during book 2 that he's been way nicer than he was before and ace and deuce also say that even though they still have to follow some weird rules, things are better than they used to be. and then at the end he chose to overlook trey and the others wanting to go against the rules just to get back at leona. maybe book 2 didn't display this quite as well as the beginning of book 6 showcased vil's development, but it is still there. and this is also why i hate seeing people characterize riddle as still being constantly angry and obsessed with rules post-book 1! he may not be perfect, but he's an abuse victim who had this mindset ingrained in him by his mother and instead of using that as an excuse he admitted that he was wrong and now is actively trying to be better. he was the first to overblot and even though book 1 was short, he still managed to have such great development.

#twisted wonderland #riddle rosehearts #honestly i'm mostly posting this as an excuse to talk about my love for riddle #but i do think it's crazy that i've seen some people seemingly forget like. the entirety of book 1 #AND i also think it's interesting how riddle and vil specifically are the ones who #had the most mature responses to realizing they were in the wrong and had hurt people #(and yes riddle burst out into tears but i'm referring to everything he did AFTER that) #riddle and vil parallel each other in quite a few ways and have a lot of similarities and i just think that's neat

Warriors smiles. It's bright and wide and warm, relieved and watery and wobbly, and he feels like his body has just been recreated. The mourning over losing his only family to portals and fate ebbs from his chest, escapes through the laugh he lets out, incredulous and elated, maybe slightly hysterical, but Legend lets one out that sounds much the same, so he feels a bit more justified in it.

Instantly, the present burn in his chest snuffs out, smoke in his lungs and soot on his bones, and the hello, good morning, I love you, wants to pour out of him like water to a rickety dam.

piece to accompany a wip fic of mine, cinnamon
