#Unshackle

[dk-thrive]

She closes her eyes and when she opens them she is met with the evening light yellowed almost to an aroma, seeing a blackbird plump under the tree, watching the bird absolute in its moment, to live like that, to come and go under an open sky.

— Paul Lynch, Prophet Song (Atlantic Monthly Press, December 5, 2023)

❛   i’ve got a surprise planned for you later.   ❜ – @unshackle​

          ❛ haa? what the hell are you on about? ❜  they’re sitting on the grass outside of thana’s village, taking a break from their work on the settlement. the gran pulse sky was endlessly blue here, the sun bright and beating down on them without mercy. of course, the hot weather meant monsters getting brave and pushing against the boundaries of the village, making thana and kogami’s job two-fold; build more houses for incoming settlers, fight off the encroaching monsters. certainly a step down from being tasked with melding the two worlds, but they can’t really complain.

          they’ve become inseparable since those days. not by choice, since the fal’cie kept them and their brands tied to each other. during the brief introspection, thana runs a hand through their hair to shake out any loose sawdust. it’s routine, i guess, they think, glancing over at kogami besides them, drinking the last of their water.  ❛ wh— shinya! ❜  they reach over and snatch the bottle from his hands, groaning when they tip it over and a single droplet falls.

          sighing, they set the bottle down by their feet.  ❛ whatever, i’ll refill it later. so, this surprise. is it a reward for my amazing job as your partner? ❜

“   i  didn’t  have  enough  rocks  to  write  out   ‘ help ’   so  i  just  spelled  out  ‘ hell ’ .   ” -- @unshackle

Misato looked at the rocks, and back over at Kogami, and then back at the rocks that spelled out hell and then back at Kogami one more time. “Right,” she said. The situation wasn’t the most dire she had ever been in. When she was 14 she had been on a research expedition with her father, their plane had gone down, and she had been the sole survivor. That, she reminded herself, was worse than this. At least she wasn’t injured. At least neither of them were injured.

And Kogami was clearly good at gathering things.

“So what we need I think is a signal fire,” she said. “It’s more visible, and more universally recognizable,” she said. “But good news, we can use those stones to ring a fire pit.”

Send in 💗 for me to use a love meter to check the compatibility of our muses.

@unshackle​ asked:  💗 ( pspspsps kagari )

       ❛   No,  I’m  telling  you,  this  thing’s  definitely  rigged  !   ❜   There’s  a  slightly  higher  pitch  in  his  tone  than  usual,  better  behaved  than  previously  yet  dissatisfied  with  the  result  nonetheless.   ❛   Me  and  Ko-chan  are  pretty  much  the  same  person,  right  ?  So  wouldn’t  that  mean  this  quiz  should  show  over  95%  compatibility  ?   ❜   A  sigh,  directly  from  the  soul,  and  he  assumes  there  won’t  be  anyone  ranked  higher  than  this.  His  hopes  had  laid  on  Ko-chan  out  of  everyone  in  the  division,  after  all,  and  he  supposes  87%  isn’t  quite  as  terrible  as  he’s  making  it  out  to  be.   ❛   Ahh...  but,  it  could’ve  gone  a  lot  worse,  too,  I  guess.   ❜

                        “ Ah yes. A drink would fix anything. Just one, or two, maybe five. part of me wants to forget everything.”  he couldn’t help but sigh deeply for a moment. today has been rough and it was something he hated the most. but he was going to ignore it after a drink --- or five.  eyes looked throw the glasses for a moment and he turn away for a moment. “ care to join me tonight? help me forever this bad day?”

🔥 (knocks Kogami into the field like he’s a baseball)

are they attractive? / accepting.

--- " Is it appropriate for me to talk about Kogami...l-like that? " Even so, her gaze softened with something very much akin to that of TENDERNESS ; curious lips turning upwards in a smile that spoke of how she truly felt. " I think Kogami is very oblivious to how handsome he is. He works so hard training his body, I doubt such thoughts have even entered his mind. He would probably find that train of thought vain. " Laughter chimed from her then, AMUSEMENT flashing across her face. " He's so aloof, too. He may be an amazing detective and partner but...he seems to be a little naïve to these sorts of things. I certainly find him attractive but...but I feel if I ever told him that, he would just stare at me in that stoic way of his. " Emily cocked her head and hummed thoughtfully ; her partner truly was a CONUNDRUM but definitely not in a bad way. " But I like him just the way he is. "

So the episode is over and I am stuck on the giant green glass column that spans a mile and more vertically of this underground city.

Because the first thing I said when it was described, before we found out the Weave Mind (I'm assuming that's the 5 minds) are inside of it, was: "That's a big-ass trammel."

... And then I thought about it.

...

So, what if? What if that's literally what it is.

A giant trammel piercing through the crust, piercing Predathos. Probably one of a few.

But maybe you only need to pull out one to release a god-eater from its binds.

Perhaps the Ruidian flares, said to be ushered in by the Weave Mind themselves, are their attempts to pull the trammel out.

The flares are getting more frequent, more powerful, because of an increase in their attempts, and the aid being given to them through the Ruidusborn and Ludinus.

If it's true, if this ties into the lore from all the way back in the last arc of C1 I'm going to scream.

#critical role #cr spoilers #critical role spoilers #cr3 #c3e88 #bells hells #Predathos #Ruidus #The Weave Mind #Ludinus Da'leth #is this why Ioun called the knowledge of making the trammels forbidden? #because it links back to part of how they sealed away their greatest fear? #like sure Chained Oblivion and Vecna were kind of a big deal but what if there was a secret third time before #actually what if Ludinus' attempts to unshackle the Chained Oblivion was a test run for Predathos #oh god where am I how'd I get stuck in this impossibly deep rabbit hole

@unshackle cont from x.

"No?" Akane repeated back as she lifted both her eyebrows, a smile starting to play at the edges of her lips. She knew he had fallen asleep. His breathing had evened out, become deeper, and more telling he had reached over and pulled her nice and close. Akane had to admit she didn't wake him immediately. It was ... a side of Kogami she didn't get to see. And it was something of an honor wasn't it? That he felt comfortable enough to fall asleep around her. That he felt safe enough to fall asleep around her.

Some part of her, a tiny, small part felt temptation creep in like a thief in the night. The temptation to lean over, tuck her head against his chest, and fall asleep too. She doesn't though, instead she wakes him up. Her voice is soft when she asks him the question, are you falling asleep? She doesn't want to startle him awake.

Even still he comes awake all at once, as she would expect him to. He denies having fallen asleep and she giggles unable to help it. And then he apologizes. "It's alright Kogami-san," she reassures him, the point of the night had been to relax. "Are you sure? I can leave if you would rather go to bed," she can't help but offer.

                               SOFT(ish) ANGST PROMPTS.

@unshackle​  asked:  “  you  could’ve  gotten  yourself  killed!  you  could’ve—  fuck!  you  scared  the  shit  outta  me.  ”  spare  kagawi?

The  abrupt  turn  in  the  direction  of  the  empty  construction  site  sends  a  violent  gust  of  air  onto  Shuusei’s  visage  &  he  requires  a  moment  to  blink  it  off,  feet  never  once  halting  from  their  chase  until  the  temporarily  abandoned  area  is  reached.  Alongside  his  regained  vision  manifests  the  realization  that  the  criminal  has  vanished  from  his  breadth  of  view  &  thus  brown  hues  glance  sidewards  in  an  endeavor  to  locate  the  missing  culprit,  yet  he  is  met  with  only  silence...  and  a  fleeting,  barely  audible  metallic  sound.  Reflexively,  head  turns  towards  the  source  of  the  noise,  faint  as  it  might  have  been,  and  the  appalling  sight  he  is  met  with  causes  Shuusei’s  brows  to  furrow  &  his  eyes  to  widen  in  both  surprise  and  terror.  This  guy...!!

Inside  a  nearby  construction  crane  rests  the  familiar  figure,  an  evil  grin  encompassing  the  person’s  features  as  the  sun  shines  onto  their  mien  (  just  what  you’d  expect  from  a  corny  comics  villain,  Shuusei  notes  in  spite  of  himself  ).  There’s  no  pause  in  judgement  however  &  a  glance  is  sent  upwards  to  check  on  the  situation  and  re-adjust  his  plan  of  action:  the  crane’s  hook  hovers  dangerously  close  to  his  spot,  the  steel  bars  hanging  off  of  it  blocking  the  sun  from  the  hound’s  visage  ---  before  their  shadows  suddenly  tilt,  and  Shuusei’s  feet  don’t  spare  a  single  second  to  run  away  and  duck  from  their  guessed  trajectory  as  they  begin  to  fall  down  with  the  intent  to  crush.

Within  seconds  do  the  bars  make  contact  with  the  ground  &  an  obnoxious  amount  of  dirt  and  dust  settles  in  the  air,  the  sheer  force  of  the  drop  pushing  Shuusei  further  to  the  side;  though  the  strained  movement  doesn’t  stop  his  hand  from  reaching  for  &  steadying  his  dominator  (  to  the  best  of  his  current  ability  ),  nor  does  it  stop  his  fingers  from  pulling  the  trigger  as  soon  as  Sibyl’s  acknowledgement  morphs  the  firearm  into  its  destroy  decomposer  mode  -  to  hell  with  saving  this  bastard.  The  shoot  is  remarkably  clean,  all  things  considered,  and  a  hole  blasts  directly  through  the  crane’s  door  soon  thereafter,  annihilating  both  its  structure  as  well  as  the  body  stuck  inside,  the  target’s  blood  splattering  across  the  truck’s  windows  as  the  machinery  ultimately  stills  in  place,  its  murderous  intent  eliminated  along  with  its  driver.

The  grasp  on  his  dominator  remains  tight,  though  muscles  begin  to  relax  &  his  arms  return  to  his  sides;  Shuusei’s  heavy  breathing  and  the  urgent  steps  of  the  shadowy  figures  he  had  briefly  spotted  earlier  from  the  corner  of  his  eyes  (  as  well  as  heard  his  name  desperately  shouted  by  in  the  midst  of  the  chaos  )  representing  the  only  sounds  still  echoing  through  the  site. 

An  inhale,  then  a  dragged  out  exhale,  and  his  coworkers  finally  reach  his  location;  Kogami’s  raw  distress  nearly  eliciting  a  laugh  out  of  the  younger  enforcer  (  if  only  Shuusei’s  chest  wasn’t  still  heaving  ).   ❛   Don’t  write  me  off  so  fast,  Ko-chan,   ❜   Voice  sounds  tired  but  playful  nonetheless,  and  his  digits  wrap  around  the  dominator  once  more,  this  time  with  the  intent  of  placing  it  inside  its  ‘sheath’;  yet  Shuusei’s  gaze  remains  focused  on  his  best  friend’s  face  all  the  while,  the  candid  horror  presently  visible  on  Kogami’s  features  bringing  a  smile  to  his  own  visage  (  and  a  wave  of  warmth  to  his  soul  ).

Despite  his  several  years  of  service  to  date,  the  blatant  display  of  care  for  his  well-being  /  for  this  wretched  life  of  his  (  worthless  to  the  system,  perhaps  even  worthless  to  Shuusei  himself,  but  not  worthless  to  them  )  never  fails  to  make  his  heart  swell  &  therefore  he  opts  to  bask  in  the  feeling  for  a  few  instants  more,  silently  staring,  before  his  lips  curl  into  something  more  challenging  than  soft,  into  his  everpresent  confident  grin,  and  Shuusei  coos,  determined.  (  He  can’t  afford  to  die,  not  here  nor  now,  not  in  front  of  his  friends,  and  certainly  not  in  such  a  lame  way  ).   ❛   It’ll  take  more  than  that  to  get  rid  of  me.~   ❜

@unshackle​​ asked: 😘 (but like, on the forehead)

❝     Mr. Kogami!     ❞     Yuuji stutters out, looking at the older man.     ❝     What was that for?     ❞     Sure, maybe Yuuji was rambling on about the old times. When he was messing around with Ginoza and the other enforcers. He even went further back to talk about when he was with his grandfather. It had been just them, talking around the fire that was slowly dying. Yuuji had just wanted to think about the old times, for once. He was happy to have gotten out of Sybil’s eye, for now. But, the closeness of Kogami as there was a quick kiss pressed to his forehead pulls him back to the present. It felt familiar... almost.
