—nsfw (do bless your eyes, your hearts and your minds)

I checked the introductory screen to the final H-scene of Chapter 4, and I think I'm going to dress in drag and do the hula spin like a vinyl. I think I've seen the light, seen a vision. My people, I predict that this H-scene will most ardently come for my ass (edit 1: it didn't come for my ass, it WRECKED it. This was heavenly, this was a pleasure, this was a gift from God. Everyone, I present to you the most unhinged reaction to an H-scene I've ever had so far)

edit 2: the original post got flagged because yours truly loved the CG so much she didn't crop it, so this is a repost. The CG deserved to be seen goddammit I'll never forgive you for this, Tumblr🖕🏼

⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ´ˎ˗

intro: HE REALLY? HE WHAT? HUHHHH? HIS TONGUE, PEOPLE THE FUCKING QUOTE, PEOPLE

update I: these past few H-scenes have been especially confusing timeline-wise. For instance, this one began when everyone was at the hospital, even though MC has already been taken away by Leamas. It seemed more logical to me to interpret that it somehow happened before Leamas took MC with him—which still doesn't quite make 100% sense, mind you, because Bimet's H-scene took place then, so...I'm not too sure about this. Then there's how Belial was apparently unwell up until that point, so how could he have managed to do the deed with MC? Then again, perhaps devils heal at a faster pace than humans do, and that would be perfectly sensible because devils are immortal, and since they aren't humans their bodies must have functions and rates that differ than those of human bodies.

update II: oh thank fuck Jjyu isn't here and probably won't be there when it's time to...lend MC a helping dick hand because that would've been a threesome as cursed as this sentence

update III: DOPE. This is how they're going to communicate, now is it? It will be so sensual when the time comes

update IV: so he HAS healed, which I'm guessing means he's going too screw MC into next week, because bro, that CG snippet on the intro screen? It's got 'I will make you scream' written all over it. It gave me the impression that Belial is intense and playful when it comes to sex, which would in turn mean that he's the gentle type that turns mercilessly naughty in bed. Iswtg if that's the case I'm going to screech. I'm on my knees praying I'm right because my God, can you imagine how ruthlessly sexy that would be? Also, Satan and Sitri's enthusiasm to help again is most welcome please, each book your appointment and be MC's guest, and Zagan should do the same it's so cute how they desperately want to do this with her again

update V: aw MC is relieved by the fact that Belial is feeling better. I'm glad, I really love when she worries for them and cares about them

update VI: OH GOD I am going to love this. He's so bold and straightforward and efficient ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I guess my little 'theory' is going to be on point

update VII: for the love of all that's holy please please I have so much to say already. The way he's caressing her skin? The way he begins by stroking her body only to suddenly stop at a certain spot and write? The way he so confidently asks why she's shivering when he already knows the answer is him? Belial, you're messing with my mind so well right now

update VIII: he likes the boobies lol

update IX: meek and gentle, you say? He's a gentle weapon of mass destruction, that's what he is and don't you think it would've been funny if they had kept Jjyu on his horn? I'm glad they didn't

update X: my God this has BARELY begun and I'm already feeling things because this is criminally sensual God please Belial I think you're going to make it big bigtime in my favourite characters club

update XI: nonononono he's too much he's too good he's too sexy I am NOT dealing well I am NOT fine THIS IS EXACTLY MY CUP OF TEA AND THE TEACUP IS OVERFLOWING DO YOU UNDERSTAND???

update XII: SEND HELP SEND HELP SEND

update XIII: not him writing on her shoulder with his left hand while his right wrecks her. Not them describing his fingers. Not me having a thing for hands. I AM GOING WILD HE'S LITERALLY A NAUGHTY DREAM I TELL YOU

update XIV: good god. Good lord. DEAR GOD. DEAR LORD. The writer(s) must have taken a dip pun intended inside my mind for inspiration for this scene because HOW THE FUCK DOES EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM AND EVERY DAMN THING HE'S DOING MAKE ME TINGLE

update XV: AAAAAAAADNLSKSJSNSJKS HOT DAMN I TOLD YOU, HE'S MISCHIEVIOUS AND HOT AND SEXY AND

update XVI: ignore saucy sassy MC and let us all revere Belial for a moment. In casual times, he's gentle and soft and gives off that aura because that's just how he is, but LOOK at him now. HE IS SHOWING HER NO MERCY. HE IS INTENT ON DESTROYING US ALL. That kind of difference in attitude between default mode and sex mode wrings my guts and tickles my heart into overdrive. MMMMM

update XVII: mercy mercy mercy MERCY this is what I was telling you THIS IS WHAT I WAS SAYING

update XVIII: now this? It deserves a screenshot of its own because. THAT EXPRESSION ON A SEEMINGLY GENTLE MAN. THAT TONGUE. THOSE WORDS BEING WRITTEN ON HER BODY BY THAT SEEMINGLY GENTLE MAN. He wants to hear her fall apart for him and that's it I'm done for and the fact that he himself can't talk makes this touching despite what's going down and how in the name of fuck is she even managing to keep quiet anyways TELL ME???

update XIX: GRAAAAAAAAAAA write as much as you want write AS MUCH AS YOU WANT

update XX: my brain is melting like a blob of ice cream like a scoop of ice cream whatever it is man because it's too hot, it's too hot

update XXI: oh man oh man OH MAN I DON'T EVEN HAVE WORDS ANYMORE BUT IDC IF PEOPLE CALL WHAT HE'S SAYING WEIRD I LIKE IT except the sweat part and someone please explain how she's still being able to focus on what he's writing on her skin at this point unless the writings send signals to her mind and her mind reads them on its own

update XXII: he scares me. He is terrifyingly perfect. He's the whole package. THE WHOLE. FUCKING. PACKAGE. She's skilled at swallowing what though And him complimenting her voice is a stake to the heart, I find it sad but so sweet and heartwarming all at the same time

update XXIII: HOLY MOTHER OF GOD THE CG THE FUCKING CG THE

update XXIV: BRUUUUUUUH this is this is this is so unique and artistic and sensual and the details alluding to how he was feeling while he was writing omfg like 'some words were scribbled in a hurry and other sentences were written clearly and tenaciously' and oh my god I AM FUCKING EATING RIGHT NOW *nitpicks* she did hear Belial talk before though, like when he said Solomon's name on his own, so the 'never heard his voice' doesn't really add up. Yes, she didn't hear his voice as it should have been in its healthy state, but she did somewhat hear him talk

update XXV: I AM LOOKING AT HIM I AM LOOKING (edit 3: I am so salty that I had to crop this. Saltier than salt itself, truth be told) AND WHAT THE FUCK IS HE DOING BEING SO PERFECT AND SENSING HOW SHE'S FEELING LIKE THAT

update XXVI: GODDDDDD GOOD GODDDDD I love how MC is so reactive to him like she's HUNGRY for him and desperate for more even though he's going hella fast already and then him getting turned on even more because she wants him and the fact that she's writing on his body now too I'M AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

update XXVII: the atmospherical descriptions of how the silence I am once again asking to know how MC is being quiet enhanced the sound of the rustling sheets and...other things? Mhm

update XXVIII: 'moaning in the arms of a man who scribbled ticklish words on you' romantic and carnal come together and yours truly poofs out of existence

update XXIX: MC ik you're hanging on to the remaining crumbs of your sanity by your fingernails but pls don't shout in his ears, that has to be unpleasant like 'I THINK I'M GONNA CUM BELIAL DO YOU COPY'

update XXX: bro he's done with the railing but he's STILL railing this is so hot it's illegal like they're done but he hasn't pulled out dammittttttt I feel bad for the devils though, MC gets to experience the best orgasmic fireworks of her life, but the demons never get to satisfy their own needs even though they enjoy it lol makes me think, it must be heavenly hell for a human woman trying to conceive with a male demon because damn bro that stamina is a monster the stamina's not the only monster

update XXXI: LMFAO THE WAY THEY DESCRIBE IT they make it seem like a happy creature lol they sure have a knack for describing dicks

update XXXII: you mean all THREE of us, Belial. ALL THREE OF US. I also cannot get over how bold and straightforward he is, and the fact that he's often gentle and quiet makes him brutal fr

update XXXIII: the nerve on this man. The NERVE. First he kicks my kneecaps, then he does this

update XXXIV:...ik the sex was mind-shattering, earth-splitting, cum-splatting, but how do you even not notice something like that how can that be possible

update XXXV: excuse me while I go scream like a fucking maniac. He likes this so much he doesn't want to free the girl. What a winner GOD BLESS This was pretty much decided from just before he and MC broke their contract and then when he wiped MC's tears after the broken contract, now even more early on in this H-scene scene, but he very obviously made it to the top ranks in my favourite characters club. With that being said, welcome to the club, Belial lol

⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ´ˎ˗

+note: that was an experience. The duality of his character played a number on my heart and mind. And maybe not even duality per se, but more so a secret side he only shows in moments of intimacy. Either way, what an amazing scene. It was artistic and overwhelmingly sensual, yet maintained the perfect balance between intense, gentle, playful and erotic.

I also adored the concept of silence and the slight hint to his discophilia—the silence allowed MC to hear new things and listen to sounds that were embarassingly clear—it was very unique.

And the artistic touch to this! It was so innovative altogether—he couldn't talk, but he let his thoughts and actions glow on her body and speak much too boldly for him instead.

Needless to say, I was obviously losing my marbles and enjoying this a biiit too much. I loved it so much where do I even begin

So Sherlock is Garbage, and Here's Why (I will refer to that from here on as SIGAHW) does talk about Moriarty but not Moran but watching that has made me think about what that show did (or didn't do) with my two favourite characters. Let's get this out the way first, sorry but I'm never going to like 'Jim' no matter what, even if they'd characterised him better and not done... everything they did with him, but that's really not the point here.

What is the point is they screwed Moriarty and Moran over in that show bigtime, and Moriarty/Moran for that matter, which whatever some people try to claim is a pairing that has a very strong basis in the canon, they are one of the most obvious potentially queer pairings of the canon even. There are details in there that are very suggestive even that Conan Doyle could have deliberately coded them as queer, probably for homophobic reasons, yes, but more in a way that tied to the homophobia of the day, so it was a coded way of saying these are characters who break the law and exist outside the laws and the norms of society because in that time and society male homosexual behaviour was literally illegal as well as widely being deemed 'sinful' and a 'sickness', i.e. it could well have been something that emphasised that these are characters who just do not give a shit about the norms and rules of society, something which is not in itself intrinsically queerphobic.

But there is nothing intrinsically wrong with coding villains as queer anyway (and I will fight people over this), and often a lot of queer people do latch on extremely hard to the queer (confirmed or coded) villains because we see ourselves in them. There's also nothing inherently wrong with having queer male characters be 'camp' or 'flamboyant' or whatever. But SIGAHW does address the queer-coding of Moriarty in Sherlock and it's summing up pretty well why that always rubbed me the wrong way, because it linked queerness directly with villainy. But also it didn't even show him as queer by bringing in the guy who would very obviously be a candidate for his boyfriend, i.e. Moran, it did it by making him obsessed with Sherlock and everything he does has to be because of and revolve around Sherlock because Sherlock is the Bestest Bestest Bestest Ever and So Smart and So Amazing (probably because, let's be honest here, Moffat seems to think he is as brilliant and smart as Sherlock Holmes and sees himself as Sherlock). It basically has it that Moriarty is bad and wrong and evil and all of this is because he's essentially in love with Sherlock, his 'badness' all stems from his queerness, which is fucked up and also, none of that is canonical, it's just an interpretation and a very loose one at that, yet it's taken over and they act like it is literally canonical fact and it's got to the point where even the fucking Conan Doyle Estate Ltd are spouting this shit as if it's canonical fact - they still have that Moriarty is "Sherlock’s number one nemesis and obsessive fan. Moriarty is the criminal mastermind who haunts Sherlock Holmes as the great detective hunts him during many of his investigative endeavours. Moriarty’s impeccable intelligence and wit make him a perfect mirror of Holmes, often in an eerily romantic way" crap on their website. They are literally describing Sherlock while claiming to be the 'experts' on the canon and ~guardians~ of the canon and its characters. Which is pretty fucked up, and OK that's probably not inherently the fault of that show or its creators but it does go to show how their nonsense managed to take over in people's minds while shitting on the canon.

Meanwhile the creators of Sherlock actually did go out of their way to insult Moriarty in the canon and in other versions - that "Moriarty is usually a rather dull, rather posh villain" nonsense from Moffat for instance which having seen that referenced in that video now I do remember and it pissed me off back when I did read that originally too even though way back then I didn't even love Moriarty the way I do now. It always, always felt like they had such contempt for the canon and their treatment of Moriarty was yet another example of that - it felt like this wasn't something they were adapting with genuine love and changing details to create their own interpretation sure but in some carefully crafted still very loving way as some kind of homage to the canon and those that had gone before. It didn't even feel like... they were mocking the plot holes and everything in the canon but in an affectionate way. Loads of us do that, I spend a lot of my time infuriated with Conan Doyle and his lack of fucks about making things make sense or making them not contradict each other, but I absolutely mean that in an affectionate way, whereas they seemed to genuinely think everything that had gone before was terrible, including the original stories, and everything about it needed to be 'fixed' and that they had made the stories 'theirs' now and all the other versions including the original stories could get fucked.

Also there's their habit of just tossing around words like "psycho" and "nutcase" for Moriarty (as well as the "sociopath" stuff for Sherlock) which seems... dangerous territory to be veering into? Not only for linking being a "psycho"' or a "nutcase" with queerness (as SIGAHW rightfully points out that is screwed up, in the way they did it) but also making it (again as that video points out) so you don't have to actually bother to give the character of Moriarty any real depth or consistency or, you know, actual decent characterisation because he's so ~zany~ and ~crazy~ because he's just a "psycho" which yes is piss poor, lazy characterisation, but also... you're basically 'villainising' or demonising actual real mental illnesses, or symptoms of them? And saying he's dangerous and bad because he's "crazy"... I don't know, I don't feel like I'm best placed to comment on that but that always rubbed me the wrong way too even if I maybe can't fully articulate why.

(I'm not really getting into the fact that they ultimately did just waste Moriarty too, like they didn't actually know what to do with him beyond make him infatuated with Sherlock, because I think SIGAHW did cover that much better than I ever could. But I mean, it does seem like they couldn't even commit to anything with their own take on the character, they didn't even ultimately have any respect for him never mind for any other version including the canonical character.

I'm also not really getting into how they basically set up this 'Jim loves Sherlock' thing and then proceeded to belittle fans who shipped them together, but that was very screwed up too that they did that.)

And then there's Moran. My beloved Moran. I do not know which is worse, erasing a character entirely, or effectively breaking him up into various parts, showing some of those parts but then removing the main pieces of him that make him who he is. Because in Sherlock they had a character named Sebastian (who as far as I can remember was a total douchebag), they had a character named Moran who was some sort of criminal, they had snipers, they had other people working for Moriarty. But never a Sebastian Moran, never Moriarty's right hand man, never Moriarty's friend (when he is literally called Moriarty's friend and bosom friend in the canon). Moran canonically mattered to Moriarty and he was way more than just some fucking 'henchman' - I have written many tens of thousands of words about this already including multiple essays. Moran mattered. But he didn't matter at all to 'Jim', or Sherlock's creators. And not only that they also did what they did elsewhere and not only showed utter contempt towards the canonical character, they also showed contempt for the people who love him and for the shippers of the pairing. They knew full well there were people who were desperate to see a Sebastian Moran in that show, they knew there were people who shipped Moran with Moriarty, and yet when they were asked about this they just insulted him and dismissed him as totally unimportant (that "he’s just Moriarty’s henchman. There is not much more to it" shit from Gatiss, though I'm almost certain Moffat said something else demeaning about Moran too but this was too long ago now and so much stuff has vanished without trace so that I can't find any of those quotes any more), and they made it sound like the fans desperate to see him in the show were absurd for seeing anything in him or in Moriarty/Moran or wanting that to happen, because of course 'their' Moriarty only has eyes for Sherlock. Of course (because Sherlock is a fucking Moffat stand in so of course everyone from Watson to the original character mortician to the supposed lesbian to the recurring major villain has to be infatuated with him one way or another because he's just that awesome. Even though in actuality they made him into an insufferable prick).

They did screw over Moriarty/Moran and just erase that pairing from existence in that universe, essentially, to the point where anybody who does ship the pairing in it had to create 'Seb' themselves, to fill this void that the creators deliberately put in because they thought their version of these beloved stories and characters was so much better and smarter and more wonderful than anything else, when in reality it's like that video says, it's garbage, and it's insulting to the fans who care about the stories and the characters and the pairing both in itself and in the way the creators treated those fans. No they are not the only people to do this and smugly act like they're better and cleverer than Conan Doyle and of other fans of the stories and the characters while they were merrily wrecking the characterisation and butchering the stories, I can certainly think of one rather famous author in particular who I think did something similar too, but I think they did take it to a whole other level.

Max 10, kiddos post!

and a spicy bonus

and last, but not least!!

and thats not all. heres also my version of Vilgax’s origin and lore!

The Null Void Frontier is a planet in The Shadow Realm thats closest to the dimensional rift to what we call the Null Void. The Chimera Sui Generis are the human-equivalent species of that planet; theyre ultra powerful and self serving creatures that prioritize their own benefit above all else. Chimera society has evolved however to live harmoniously, as thats the most prosperous way to live and technically its in everyones best interest to live in a prosperous society (especially bc they live for so long). Their whole thing is that theyre selfish, but logical enough to realize that in order to achieve their selfish goals its most effective to live in a well built society. Chimeras' lives are all about serving society and bettering their planet, and then moving on to achieve their goals and utmost ambitions (which usually are not very good, they love wreaking havock upon the rest of the galaxy)

Another important thing about the Chimera in my version is that they discovered the Null Void, and theyre the ones who studied it the most and developed the technology necessary to navigate it, scan and analyze it, and ofc enter it, and theyre the only species that can do those things

Now onto vilgax, his origin is tied to another thing about chimerans society. Because Chimeran society is all about maintaining order, there is no middle or upper class, or rulers or government. There are 2 classes, the upper class which is standard society and the majority of Chimerans, and the lower class. Chimerans that are chaotic and disturb the order of society, banished to the worst spots on the planet and disgraced from society. Vilgax was born to a member of the lower class and ever since his birth has been looked down upon both for being a member of the lower class and for being physically weaker than your average Chimera child

This didnt stop him however from having ambitions and determination, and so he tried regardless to climb up the societal ladder to gain more power. Eventually he screws up bigtime while hired for a mission, and gets exhiled to Xenon, a fate worse than death to them because it is less honorable than execution. Despite it all, Vilgax being filled with determination and unquenchable ambition, begins his powerhungry quest and manages to make it out, eventually pushing his body to the limits to become the infamous warlord with a reputation we all know

I'm about to go to bed, and of course Twitter does it again. Now they're gonna remove the Spaces on October 31 or something. Talk about a Halloween. Well done, Musk. Considering I thought about trying that if Twitter ever stopped being stupid! But no, Muskrat just keeps at it. I'm done. I'm so done with Twitter's garbage! Should I join Bluesky in November or October. Could you guys please send some love and comfort. I'm just so drained. I can't take it anymore. It's only been 2 years! Twitter isn't the same. Screw you, X! Screw you, Musk! And all of your stupid crazy fans! I'm safe in Marina's arms now.😊

I'm tired of this paranoia! I need Marina's love. Shiver & Callie came to comfort me. I've been crying in Shiver's arms a bit. I just really don't wanna leave Twitter. But it's probably gonna happen. They won't fire Musk. And now whats-her-face seems like an idiot for defending that stupid rocket man! I have every reason to hate Muskrat. He's the reason for my paranoia. I ran to Twitter to get away from Facebook. Where I was constantly harassed by older women at the age of 17, friended by dozens of pervs, saw horrible things, and got hacked! And now I'm dealing with that again on Twitter! The sussy lists, the p*rn pages following me, those annoying crypto replies! It needs to stop! This all needs to stop! I just wanna be safe! What is wrong with the internet?!😥

I'm sorry, I just wanna talk to you guys because my anxiety is out of control right now. I'm about to cry. I can't go through that ever again. Shiver & these characters help me feel very safe. These girls are the closest I have to a feeling of being around someone who loves me and cares an awful lot and would do anything to protect me because it'd be really nice to have that actual feeling.🥰

Shiver helps me feel safe everytime I open up the game. When I see her & Frye, I just get a feeling of safety and warmth.😊

Well, I'm just gonna keep crying in Shiver's arms now. I guess this whole Musk Twitter Era situation broke me bigtime. I don't wanna see the place that saved me from Facebook...become Facebook. I hope you're happy Musk. They think it's funny to trigger my PTSD? I may actually have some PTSD! Goodnight guys. Thank you for protecting me.❤️

#splatoon #comfort characters #best girls #marina ida #goodnight #shiver #twitter #screw elon musk #screw x #screw facebook #what is going on #thank you #amazing women #love

Word is that DC wants Henry Cavill back as Superman and Henry was like, "No thanks." Really, DC and Warner Bros don't deserve him. As much as I'd love to see Henry back as Superman because he was perfect and amazing, Warner's really shot themselves in the foot repeatedly and now they're paying for it. They keep horrible people in there employ and get rid of the good ones, now they're panicking because their box-office is falling. Really, what did they expect.

You're so right, they screwed up bigtime and they're desperately backpedaling because of how often he shows up in trending tags and the number of fan campaigns there are to get him back in the role.

They're making a string of bad decisions and absolutely not doing themselves any favors at all. I expect they'll see a drop in ratings and audience numbers for their IPs after all this. They need to be called out and held accountable for allowing misconduct.

Low-key hoping the rumors about Henry joining the MCU as Captain Britain are actually true, they'll treat him far better! Plus I'd love to see him in a film with Dan Levy (rumored to be in the next Ant-Man film as Northstar! I hope it's true!!!)

[grabs you] luke and ion for the relationships game. the boys. right now

ohhh ohhhhhh my boys i miss them so bad. oh god i actually have to think and stew abt this one for a bit

describe their canon relationship/dynamic

its very lord im trying to figure out how to phrase it bc. luke is. luke. i think thehyre very Siblings honestly. luke would never ever admit to it but he truly values his friendship with ion solely bc ion is one of the few people who, despite everything, always saw the best in him. ion believes theres good in him. he trusts him enough to give up his own life though technically it was more for the sake of the world to help him. luke Wants to live up to that especially after the aforementioned "ion giving his life bc he trusts him enough to keep going".

your ideal/headcanon version of it? how does it differ from how it is in canon & why is this your favorite version? any other alternate versions of it you enjoy?

I THINK MY ONLY IDEAL IS JUST. GOD. I WISH WE GOT MORE. like what little we have of luke and ion interacting together is awesome for me, bc ion is slowly brought out of his formal shell by just. being around luke specifically. in my head they have more interactions of them doing something stupid bc luke convinced ion to and everybody in the main party gets exasperated by this.

what do you like about their relationship, why is it interesting or enjoyable to you?

*freaking smacking my hands on my desk* ion is the first freaking person to not hate luke's guts!!!!!! he;s the first!!!!!!! even when everybody jumps to berating luke or giving up on him completely ion, unconditionally, does not give up on him. like on one hand.... its bc eventually ion Gets It. theyre both replicas so like it comes with the baggage. but even before that. ion only sees the best of luke, even if its buried through him acting like a brat and being the kid he is. when luke screws up bigtime in akzeriuth, ion jumps to try and place the blame on himself, not luke. what if they made me blow up.

what about the individual characters involved? what does this relationship mean to them, what makes it unique among their relationships?

favorite interaction they have in canon

what if i died

favorite interaction they have in your head/a situation you want to put them in

again, i like, god i want them to interact more. i want to see them both interact in scenarios where they kind of. you know. dont have to deal with the whole "we were made as replacements of someone and only live to fill that role" baggage.

#kurutoryuuki #*DYING* i wish i could word this more. succintly?#like i think my boys alot but actually putting that into words is very hard for me fsr

12th Day - moonlight (II)

――――I'll go find Tohsaka. She told me to forfeit. If I'm going to ignore her advice and fight, I have to make her realize… That I'm not going to give up, and that we're still cooperating. And――――

I can't let her fight by herself. I owe her bigtime. I can't forfeit until I repay her for that.

"…And she always screws up at the crucial moment… And she's so unreliable that I can't let her be alone." I adjust the shinai bag on my shoulder. …I know I won't be of much help and that she will object. But I can't obtain peace of mind until I see Tohsaka's face.

…This is just a what-if… But if she gets injured away from me, I can't even be there to help her―――

"―――――Phew." I sit down on a bench and rest my burning body. It's past noon. I've searched all around Shinto, but I haven't found anything.

"…Damn. I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but I didn't think I would find nothing." I knew from the start that I had no way to find Tohsaka. I let my luck take over and searched through the town, but I couldn't find her, nor any traces of her.

"…The other Masters aren't coming out either… I guess there's no need to attack me now that I don't have my Command Spell." I sigh and lay back.

"――――――――" I'm making no progress like this. Tohsaka hasn't left any trace, and my last resort of using myself as bait to lure out other Masters is failing so far.

…I get a bit uneasy. I might not be able to find Tohsaka, and I might not be able to save Saber. They might already be in a terrible situation by the time I find them――――

"――――It's still noon. I won't let that happen so easily." I get back up. I ignore the renewed throbbing in my shoulder and leave the park.

I'll search one more time. I'm sure that she's in Shinto. It's just like last night. I don't know why, but I can feel that "he" is around here. It's not something ambiguous like a premonition. This is a certain knowledge, like a conviction.

Interlude 12-2

――――When did I figure out what the dream was?

A desert as far as I can see. The numerous swords stuck in the ground do not have a wielder. The sky is stormy and there is no forest, town, or sea within my sight. A hill of blades stretching to infinity. A graveyard of steel without any wielder or bearer. I knew from the start… That this is the scenery inside that hero's mind.

After many sequences of events, one who becomes a heroic spirit ends up in that place.

There are those who left the world loved by people, and there are those who left the world praised as noble kings. There are those who died wanting to fight, and there are those who died in satisfaction. …But it seems there are many that have been praised as heroes against their will.

If true heroes are those who have legitimately earned the title, these are a different kind. They were forced to the throne of heroes because of their fate, and they should be called Avenger, the anti-hero. They are the opposite of heroes, but they were praised as heroes regardless. Even those that hated humans and those the humans hated are summoned as guardians.

…But he's neither. He's not a true hero nor a rare anti-hero. He was never compensated for his efforts and his own life ended with betrayal, but he never hated humans. ――――But it didn't last. Yes, he probably grew weary.

I was mistaken. Heroic spirits, familiars called Servants. …Humanity's power to control called the "guardians". They are summoned into every age to prevent humanity's extinction. But the only condition for their summoning is "destruction brought on by humans". Naturally, destruction brought on by an outside factor is solved not by human power, but by the world's restraining power.

…So the only thing guardian heroic spirits can see is self-destruction. They are an existence that eliminate destruction brought on by human greed. He made a contract with the world to save humans and became a hero. After he died, he became a heroic spirit and was shown humanity's self-destruction over and over again. He is summoned as a "heroic spirit" to save people, but he only gets to clean up after people's wrongdoings.

…It did not take long for him to realize that it is meaningless and start loathing the human world. And in the end… He was betrayed by the ideal that he protected unto death.

"Rin. Do you feel dizzy?" "Huh――――?" Hearing the call, Tohsaka Rin wakes up. …She slowly looks around. This is the foreigners' cemetery. It's just past seven o'clock, but there is no one here. Well, the hill with the church is always empty to start with.

"…Sorry, I fell asleep. I guess I'm tired." "That is understandable. You have not slept since last night. Should we postpone this if you are not feeling well? We do not have to go get them right at this moment." "…No, we can't take our time. Since we know where Caster is, we should settle this right now." After saying so, Rin realizes that her body is warm. Her familiar, Archer, must have kept her warm using his cloak.

"…Heh. You knew I was asleep, huh? And you didn't wake me up?" "Well, it's rare to see someone sleeping while they are standing. I was fascinated, so I had to observe it." "―――That's even worse. Who are you to be staring at a girl's sleeping face?"

"Do not worry. I have done nothing so rude. But I did hear something else. I can close my eyes, but I cannot close my ears." "……I see. What was I saying, Archer?" "I heard a few scary phrases, like how you're so angry."

"――――――Oh, that's good." Rin sighs with relief. The dream she saw should not be discussed. She can't have Archer know about it. She likes their relationship. …To maintain it, she has to hide the fact that she knows about Archer's past.

"Let's go, Archer. I know a bit about the church. I can guess where she might be hiding." She brushes away Archer's cloak. Archer silently protects from behind her. Then… "Hey, Archer. Have you ever regretted your own actions?" She asks without turning around.

"――――――――" "I don't want to if I can help it. I want to grit my teeth and be stubborn, even when I'm completely beaten. But I'm sure that's hard. Harder than I imagine, I suppose."

"That would depend on the person. There are those who can and those who cannot do so. You are the former. Such people will not make mistakes, let alone consider them."

"…Hey. That sounds like I'm an arrogant tyrant." "That is a good observation, Rin. A brilliant person shines brighter than others. Such people never have to grit their teeth. …So. This is a personal opinion, but you would fall under that category. Tohsaka Rin will follow her path until the very end."

The knight in the red cloak praises her. Rin blushes at his answer, but keeps asking without turning around.

"…Then what about you? Do you think you would be able to believe in yourself until the very end?" "Hm? I'm sorry, but that question is meaningless." "…Why? It's something you're able to answer, right?" She sounds a bit nervous.

To that… "The 'until the very end' part is meaningless. Did you forget, Master? ―――I met my end a long time ago." …The knight in red gives this reply.

End of Interlude

"――――――Man." I sigh and lean against a sign. I searched until the sun set, and the only thing I figured out was how useless I am.

"――――!" The wound on my left shoulder is throbbing with pain. I don't know if it's opened up, or if the bandage is getting loose. …Either way, I can't spend too much time on the search. It'll end up like last night if I can't find a clue.

"…Man, where could she be?" …I recall when I parted ways with her last night. It's already been a day since she told me to run to the church since I can't fight without Saber――――

"――――Oh. The church." There is a clue. I thought about it when I started the search this morning. The supervisor of the Holy Grail War. The priest at the church might know where Tohsaka is――――

"…It's irritating to go ask that priest for help, but this is no time to be hung up on that sort of thing――――"

…No, I shouldn't go see that priest, regardless of my feelings. He's a priest, but Kotomine Kirei is not a man that should be approached. I don't want to go ask him for advice, but he's the only one I can count on right now.

"…I'll consult him just this once. That shouldn't be a problem." I convince myself and move my aching body. It's almost seven o'clock.

Twenty minutes' walk from the station. The church is in the suburbs, away from the noisy town. "――――――――" It's been nine days since I last went up this hill. But I'm going there pretty often now, considering that I've never went there before.

…To be honest, I don't like the church. Maybe that building itself is a forbidden place I shouldn't approach. The fire ten years ago. The church took care of all the orphans at that time, so it reminds me of that incident whether I like it or not.

I get up the hill and come out into the clearing. "――――――――!" I get a sudden headache. It's not because of the wound on my shoulder. The wound is causing me to have a fever, but it shouldn't give me such a headache.

"Ku……" My temples are hurting. I lose myself and feel a chill, as if my body is splitting in two like a shedding insect.

"――――This is weird." I bear the headache and start running. It's because of the hunch I've had since yesterday. The conviction that Tohsaka is in Shinto. That sensation is assailing me now and causing the headache. Then―――something should be going on in there――――

There are bloodstains on the floor. The blood continues to the door at the back of the church. "…No, that's wrong. It looks more like it came out from that door."

…I'm curious about it, but now's not the time. If there's blood, it means someone's hurt. And this much too――――their life must be in danger. "――――――――" I feel a sharp pain in my head. Dull heaviness settles in my body. I ignore it, take out the wooden sword, and start walking quietly.

"Tohsaka――――are you there?" Nobody replies. The air is tense. I feel like the windows here will break if I'm too loud.

"――――――――" I follow the trail of blood. It's coming from in between the columns. A dark stairway that you would normally not notice.

"…A descending stairway… This place has a basement?" This is a church, so could it be a mausoleum? "――――――――!" …I don't have enough energy to just stand here and think. I cautiously step into the darkness.

I descend into the dark. …I see a faint light at the end of the stairs. Breathing quietly, I make my way down using that faint light.

The narrow corridor ends and I come out into an open space. It's a big stone room. The stairs follow the wall down to the catacombs. There is an open space at the end of the stairs… And―――there is the person I've been looking for, Tohsaka Rin.

Tohsaka confronts the "enemy" before her with Archer's protection. In front of her―――in front of the altar are two people.

It does not even need to be said who they are. The magus in a purple robe, Caster, and her Master, Kuzuki. And on the altar behind them is…[r] Saber, who is looking down and panting painfully.

"――――――――" My heart jumps. My pulse is beating faster than normal.

"――――――――" The situation is obvious. Two pairs of Master and Servant are confronting each other in the temple about five meters below me. They haven't noticed me standing above them, as they're too absorbed.

Tohsaka and Caster are looking for an opening to strike. It would be suicidal for them to look up in a situation like this.

"――――――――" My heart beats even faster. My head pounds and my shoulder aches as if seared by a hot iron.

I can't keep my presence hidden forever in this state. Caster or Kuzuki will notice me if they happen to look up just a bit. I――――

Has He Thought About Me Since Our Breakup?

It would be awful to believe that after you dumped your ex, you were never on his thoughts again. You two have a history and even if things didn't work out, you still liked each other. It would be comforting to know that your ex is considering you after the breakup, even though you have no control over how he feels or behaves now that you aren't a relationship. Here are some indications that he is (and some that suggest that he isn't). Has He Thought About Me Since Our Breakup?

Hints That You May Be On His Mind

He wasn't so sure when you were prepared to give up and go away forever. In his opinion, you had unfinished business and were capable of overcoming any obstacles in your path. He'll probably be reflecting on you and what went wrong for a very long time if he wanted to work things out but you were just done. Things ended because he messed up bigtime. Well done for leaving if he cheated on you or lied to you about a significant matter. You should not have to put up with such disrespect. Men may need to completely screw up in order to comprehend what has been right in front of them the entire time. can't help but think about how terrible his mistake was, which is excellent. He lost the best thing that has ever happened to him, thus he should feel bad. He still follows you/comments on your social media posts. still adds fire emojis to all of your selfies despite the fact that you two are no longer dating and tags you in memes he believes you'll find amusing. You might assume that he is still your boyfriend if you didn't know any better. It's actually sort of strange. You were together for a long time. Even after the inevitable split, when someone has been a part of your life for a long time, it's impossible to stop thinking about them. He is completely aware that everything in his life has changed since he last wrote. When he turns over in bed and notices you aren't there, when he goes to sleep at night, when he gets home from work, etc., you are on his mind. He keeps trying to reach out in subtle (or not-so-subtle) ways. He might post a song from your favorite band on his Facebook page or ask your friends in common to introduce him to you. might even be messaging you himself to check in on you if he lacks tact. You've obviously been on his mind ever since you broke up. He still hangs out in the same places you used to go. Going back to the places you frequented together as a pair after a relationship ended is the very last thing you want to do. However, he continues to frequent your morning coffee stop and even hangs out at the pub you used to frequent on the weekends. He really couldn't go there and not consider you, can he? He’s not seeing anyone else and doesn’t want to. This might be quite normal, depending on how long it's been since your breakup. Although it is not recommended for anyone to switch relationships frequently, Read the full article
