“Why is my stomach in knots?” you grumble to yourself as you look in the mirror, quickly blending in your makeup. your hands move faster than they should, your nerves already shot to shit and the stiff, hard to blend blush is really starting to irk you. you frown when Bakugou pops in behind you, his face next to yours as he takes you in.
“Whaddya so nervous for?” he asks you, dipping down to kiss the curve of your neck. he’s learned to avoid your face until you powder yourself up, and then he can go crazy. but you’re still blending something wet on your cheeks, and he doesn’t wanna upset you more than you already are.
“What if our date isn’t perfect?” you whisper, finally setting down your brush, your hands wringing in your lap. but bakugou reaches over your shoulders, grabs your palms in his, brings them to his face to kiss and kiss at, despite the barely dried concealer you had swiped on them. he hugs you to his chest, careful still of your face, frowns at the way you try to hide your blooming smile at his affection.
“‘Course it’s gonna be perfect.” He reassures you quietly, pecking the side of your neck. “You’re gonna be there with me; that’s all that matters.” You pout at him through the mirror despite your smile, watching his own face soften as he takes in your almost ready face.
“But what if my date tries to order for me, and won’t let me finish a sentence?” You sigh all melancholy, rolling your eyes into your head. You giggle when he bites at the curve of your shoulder, trying to get away but he holds you tight against his chest.
“Then I’ll beat his fucking ass.” Bakugou mutters into your skin, feeling brave enough to steal a kiss on your cheek. Him being brave—the thought makes you laugh to yourself. Bakugou afraid of scaring you, the love of his life, and being afraid of your wrath from fucked up makeup when he battles villains all day. You turn in your seat, wrapping your arms around his neck when he kneels on the floor behind your stool. He almost looks like he’s praising you, with the way his chin tilts up and his gaze is hyper focused on you and you only.
“You’re such a nerd.” You tease, tucking your chin to your neck when he squeezes your thighs in his hands. He leans forward to steal another kiss, despite the way you lean away and try to push his face from yours.
“Shuddup,” he murmurs, bypassing your hand to peck your lips. He stands when you swat at him, kissing the top of your head this time as he makes his way out of the room to start getting ready. As he leaves, he speaks over his shoulder with a huff,
“And finish your face already. Stop depriving me ‘n shit.” He grumbles. You don’t comment on how red his ears are, his admittance of wanting to kiss you again and again, how he always does. You only blow him a kiss, laugh at the way his shoulders hike and his huffing under his breath, and finally finish getting ready.

Sokka: This is getting out of hand, now there are two of them
Kiyi is the only addition from the comics that I'm willing to acknowledge, however, I will happily ignore everything else abt her story. Instead she is Ozai's daughter and protecting her was what kept Ursa in hiding, at least until a year after the war when Zuko and Katara show up for The Southern Raiders pt 2: Electric Boogaloo.

thinking about super physically affectionate clingy yet quiet link and him leaning into revali when he's tired, or curling up in revali's lap with his face in revali's neck to take a nap, without a single word.
it startles revali a lot at first when link just at random just starts grabbing his hand only to intertwine their fingers, link tracing the feathers and then pulling revali's hand up to his face to press a kiss to the back of it, his eyes shut. or link pushing him down into the cushions only to seat himself within revali's folded lap, head against revali's chest as he fidgets and fiddles with revali's scarf. or link coming up from behind to wrap his arms around revali's midsection, pressing soft kisses down revali's spine.
"you hylians are so touchy," revali mumbles one night, when they're lying together in their shared hammock. link is wrapped around him, intertwining his legs with revali's, and he drags his pointer finger through revali's feathers, drawing shapes into his chest. link only hums at him in response, and shifts so that he's more comfortable against revali. his legs tighten around revali's, as though he plans to keep the rito shackled to him forever. revail only wraps a wing around him and brushes his beak through the top of link's hair.
"you're not pushing me away though," link says. link's voice is soft and drowsy, but revali can feel it humming under his skin.
"like i could if i tried," revali responds in similar volume. "you've wrapped yourself so closely to me, we'll merge into one being at this point." but link is right; if he truly didn't enjoy this, he'd have thrown link into lake totori now.
"wish we could," link murmurs. revali hums in question, prompting link to continue. "wanna be so close to you i'm practically under your skin."
"that won't be necessary. you already get under my skin plenty." link snorts and shifts against him again, revali shifting in response to accommodate link's new position. they're quiet again for a couple more moments before link speaks.
"do you really not like it?" his songbird whispers, hushed and timid. revali frowns. he doesn't like it when link doubts him, or this bond between them. he wraps his other wing around link and the little hylian snuggles deeper into him automatically, sighing quietly.
"i'd have figured you more astute than this," revali says. "this... manner of affection you favor is not something i'm accustomed to, but it doesn't mean it's unpleasant. it's... nice, to be honest."
"so it's okay? you're okay with this?" link murmurs.
"i'm more than fine with it," revali replies. "what made you think i wasn't?"
he feels link shift to hide his face in revali's chest. "dunno," link mumbles. "i always do it without saying anything. thought you were just putting up with me..."
revali's feathers prickle and rise, and his frown deepens. in a swift fluid movement, he grabs his mate by his hips and pulls him up. link yelps, grabbing onto revali's arms. "w-wait, revali, the hammock—"
"the hammock is strong enough to hold the both of us," revali says, and seats link atop him so that his mate is straddling his lap, and his hands settle on link's waist. "so don't doubt it, like you're doubting me right now." link flushes and his ears droop, just slightly. cute.
"i wasn't doubting you—" link starts, but revali cuts him off with a slight shake of his head.
"you were," revali asserts and his voice leaves no room for argument, because it's true. link stares down at him, guilty and insecure. revali hates it. "i can't control what goes on in that stubborn head of yours, but don't doubt me. don't doubt this, what we have. i chose you, all of you, what you are, what you do, what you offer. i'll gladly receive it all, because it's you."
link's breath catches. "revali..."
but revali shakes his head and pulls lightly on link's waist. "that's enough thinking for you tonight," he says. "come back to me and continue with your touchy inclinations. i'm rather fond of it now."
so link with that ever so familiar wide, blue-eyed gaze tentatively leans back down and wraps himself around revali's body again, as they were before, his face buried in the space between revali's neck and head and his breath beginning to even out. revali envelops his clingy songbird in his wings, nuzzling the side of link's face with his eyes shut, beginning to drift to sleep himself, but he needs to make himself clear before either of them drift too far.
"i love you," revali murmurs against link's skin. "goddesses know why you ever doubted it, but i do and i always will. if you wish to possess me, my body is yours to command as you please. if you wish to woo me, my heart has already been infatuated with you for far longer than you've realized you desired me too. my very soul and my entire being belong to you now, for as long as you will it to be."
link doesn't say anything more, but revali can feel his little jewel hug him tighter. "i chose you," revali whispers. "please remember that. i chose to be with you, for the rest of my life. i'm not letting go of you so soon, so please don't let go of me either."
they both grow quiet after that, and revali thinks link has already fallen asleep when—
"i won't," link whispers back. "i won't let you go. i'm all yours too, revali, i love you too."
revali coos lowly in response, holding link a little tighter in his arms. "good. if it's my skin you wish to be in, then it's yours to live under. i wouldn't have it any other way. now, go to sleep. your mind runs circles around itself like a hylian retriever if left without the careful hand of a trainer, like myself."
"whatever," link snorts, but he shifts and squirms and nestles himself under revali's chin until he's comfortable again, until his breathing evens out. only then does revali relax, wings still wrapped firmly around his sweet little songbird, and lets sleep claim him too.

I'm not sure if this was already asked, but if Jane had skipped town when she had planned to, would Matt ever forgive her? How would he react?
Ooooh, now this is an interesting question.
I definitely think there's a small part of him that never would have forgiven her for it, especially since he'd already had a few vulnerable moments with her where he'd opened up and she, seemingly, had opened up with him, too. But mostly, it would have simply... broken that part of him that felt hope, that felt that maybe, just maybe he deserved to have someone care about him, or even love him one day, because he'd have read her letter - the kinder one, the gentler one, the one that said without saying, 'I could see myself loving you if I stayed.'
Ironically, despite her intentions - that she leave him a kinder letter, one that was honest and told him how much she cared for him - reading that letter after dhe left would have broken an entirely different part of him.
The loss of her, the idea that he'd been left alone again by someone who might have loved him, would have been all the proof he needed that he was a fuckup, that everyone in his life that he cared about was destined to leave him. He'd spiral, spiral right down into the decision that all he could do was leave them first before he hurt them so bad or put them in so much danger that they left him behind and, subconsciously, before they hurt him like the loss of his parents had, like Stick and Elektra and now Jane had by walking away. He'd retreat in on himself, curling up tight around that hurt and hiding behind the ferocity, darkness, and rage of the Devil because that seemed like the only way he could protect himself from being abandoned again when he wanted so, so desperately to have just ONE person who might... love him. It would have been a ticket to the S3 mindset basically, but because Karen and Foggy at that point didn't know about Daredevil, and because he hadn't met Maggie yet, no one really would have been in a decent position to help drag him up out of that spiral.
And Stick knew that, which is exactly why he tried to talk Jane into leaving, and why he gave her that letter to ensure she truly broke the more gentle, tender part of Matt. He knew this would push Matt into the mindset Stick wanted: that Matt was meant to be alone, that there was nothing for him but his 'duty', and there was certainly no room for friends, for lovers, or family.
One day it's possible he would have pulled himself out of it, and by then he likely would have forgiven her - either because he recognized she ran for fear of Cyrus, or because he simply blamed himself instead of her - but either way, if that domino had tipped, a part of him never really would have recovered or felt safe reaching for that kind of gentle connection again.

Cute autumn-themed nicknames for Willex plz and thank you, because PROMPTS ARE FUN YAY PROMPTS
Hello hi Inny I am SO SO SORRY I swear I have been staring at this for the whole month it's been in my inbox and just haven't had the spoons to writeeeee!! But here you goooo, hope you enjoy and it makes up for how long it took!!!
--- --- --- --- ---
Willie likes nicknames, okay? Sue him, they're cute little things to call the people he cares about! And if it happens to startle fun reactions out of them, all the better! They have a whole list they cycle through of silly things to call their boyfriend, and the way he blushes when they call him Hotdog or Drummer Boy never fails to make Willie's heart skip a beat or two.
So yeah, Willie likes nicknames. However, even though Alex enjoys being called by nicknames (at least by Willie), he's not usually one to use them. Until now apparently.
"I got your favorite, Pumpkin," Alex says as Willie wanders out of his bedroom at nearly 11 am.
"You're the best," Willie mumbles, taking the paper cup from him and relaxing into his arms. "Did you already have work this morning?"
"Yeah, I had to open," Alex explains, pulling Willie up against his chest. "I didn't want to wake you."
"Thank you," Willie responds, turning their head to kiss the side of Alex's neck without dislodging their place on his shoulder. "Late shifts are going to kill me."
"Please don't die," Alex murmurs, nuzzling his hair. "I'd miss you too much."
Willie chuckles. "I'll try."
He finally takes a sip of the coffee Alex brought home for him and sighs happily at the warm, chocolatey flavor of the mocha. As his brain wakes up though, he realizes something important about what Alex said earlier.
"Wait, this isn't pumpkin," he says, glancing up at his boyfriend in confusion.
Alex's brow furrows. "No?" he agrees, though it sounds more like a question. "You don't like pumpkin in your coffee?"
"Well yeah, but you said you got my favorite, pumpkin," Willie clarifies, rubbing a hand over his eyes to clear away the sleepiness.
"Oh," Alex says then, and a familiar blush starts to spread over his cheeks. "Sorry, no, I was trying to call you Pumpkin, not talk about the coffee flavor. Cause-" Alex cuts himself off to wave a hand down at Willie's body.
Willie looks down, confused, before realizing the shorts they'd slept in were bright orange. They stare for a second, then burst out laughing. "I didn't even notice," they admit.
Alex smirks and pulls them in closer. "I figured, since those aren't even yours I don't think."
"Since when do you have shorts like this?" Willie asks, still giggling.
"Since Reggie got them for me as a gag gift in August," Alex explains. "They look way better on you though."
"You called me a pumpkin," Willie points out.
"A really cute pumpkin," Alex counters.
Willie raises an eyebrow and takes a long, slow sip of his coffee.
"Well fine, should I call you something else then?" Alex offers.
Willie bites their lip to keep from smiling too much. "Well what did you have in mind?"
"Wouldn't you like to know, Sanderson," Alex teases, backing up and releasing Willie.
"Oooo, which sister am I?" Willie retorts, setting down their drink and following Alex into the kitchen.
"Oh, Sarah, definitely," Alex declares. "You've got the great hair and everything."
"So I'm the pretty one then?" Willie says, making a show of tossing said hair. It's definitely still a mess from him not tying it up before bed, but oh well.
"You are and you know it," Alex responds, smirking and leaning over to peck him on the cheek.
Willie tries to chase him for a proper kiss, but Alex turns around to face the stove. "Hey!" Willie protests.
"Sorry, I gotta make brunch, Maizy," Alex says, not sounding all that sorry.
"Okay, I'll bite, 'Maizy?'" Willie asks, moving over to cuddle up against Alex's warm back.
"Julie was going on a whole tipsy rant last week about how corn in Spanish is Maize, and so a corn maze is actually a Maize maze," Alex explains. He nudges Willie's arm aside just enough for him to reach the fridge and pull out an egg carton. "Plus, you're both corny and a-maze-ing, so it seemed fitting."
Willie can't help but giggle at the story. "Wow, so I'm pretty and corny and orange, good to know," they joke.
"Well the orange is temporary," Alex points out as he cracks a couple of eggs into a shallow bowl and whisks them around with a fork. "I suppose calling you Hot Chocolate would be more permanently accurate."
"Wowwww, comparing my physical appearance to food? Very progressive of you," Willie teases, knowing full well that's not what Alex meant.
"Hush you," Alex laughs, reaching around to poke Willie gently in the side with his free hand. "1, you're hot. 2, you're like the sweetest person I've ever known. 3, you drink so much cocoa in the winter that I swear you have a second stomach just for the stuff. And 4, it is not my fault that that paint chip EXACTLY matched your hair color."
"Hey don't you start on my beverage choices," Willie retorts, grinning and hooking his chin over Alex's shoulder to watch him throw the first piece of egg/milk soaked bread onto the frying pan. "You drink just as much tea as I do cocoa."
"It wasn't a critique, just a comment," Alex says, smiling like he's trying not to laugh. "Although I'm gonna run out of nicknames if you keep shooting them down this fast."
And somehow that's the thing that catches Willie off guard. Because Alex doesn't really call people nicknames. Let alone spend time thinking about various options.
Alex must feel Willie stiffen against his back, because he turns so he can wrap an arm around Willie's waist. "Sorry, I didn't mean to overstep," he says softly. "You just... you always have a ton of them for me, and I like it and you like it, so I wanted to return the favor. Or something. I don't know. Random thought while I was waiting up for you last night."
Willie quickly shakes their head. "No I don't mind," they say, catching Alex's gaze and smiling. "It just kinda surprised me I guess."
"So-" Alex starts, but Willie slaps a hand over his mouth before he can finish.
"You don't get to apologize for being the cutest and sweetest boyfriend ever," Willie informs him, before shifting his hand over to cup Alex's jaw and pushing up on his tiptoes to finally capture his lips with their own.
Alex chuckles against their mouth and pulls them closer, returning the kiss happily. They keep it short, since there's still food on the stove, but Willie stays glued to Alex's side while he finishes cooking.
Once everything is turned off and they're both settled at the table with their plates of french toast, Willie asks, "So do I get to see the whole list now?"
Alex groans, hiding his face in his hands. Willie suspects it's to conceal his smile. "You'll get the rest of them eventually," Alex promises. "Probably."
"I'm going to hold you to that, Applejack," Willie laughs.
Alex using nicknames is new. But Willie could definitely get used to it.

Here I was mentally steeling myself to be rabid over Mauga on main finally
#Ramattra#No hesitation on the F/O list I love him#but he does not love me dfkjgkdfjgkfd#For I am skin and bones and flesh and blood all that he despises#No I'm so abnormal about him sit down bestie sit down I need to be weird#I cannot wait to hear his interactions with Zenyatta they have to have multipul interactions right out the gate#One's where they call one another Brother and Old Friend and Zenyatta speaks so soft to ask what has become of him#Interactions where Ramattra ask Zenyatta to join him to leave Overwatch to leave the humans the ones who hurt us who took our family from u#Interactions where Zenyatta asks Ramattra to remember Mondatta's teachings to put down his weapon to trust in them again#Interactions where Ramattra lements about the humans who took Mondatta from them took his family from them took EVERYTHING from them#but also...#Interactions where we're in Quick Play and they get to be together again#Brothers on the same side of a fake fight in a video game#Interactions where they remind eachother of snowball fights on temple grounds or sneaking out of meditations early#Interactions where they laugh Interactions where they joke Interactions where they remember the childhoods they made for themselves#I want to hear Ramattra so proud of Orisa and Bastion for finding themselves homes off the battle field#Even if their family is human... They found themselves out there with this family of skin and bones and flesh#I want him to be so happy for them even if he can't approve of Torbjorn or Eifi#I want him to welcome Genji into his family with open arms#A friend of my brother is a friend of mine no matter the side this war may take#I want him to see the Genji we see the one who is not half man half machine like Zarya may claim but the one who is Genji#Who is happy who trains with Zenyatta and laughs happy in his skin made of metal with his lungs made of flesh#I want him to just be... so nice... and so bitter at the same time...#He wants the world at peace he wants his family safe he wants to stop fighting he wants to rest in a cold temple in Nepal again#Built and Raised in a war part of the first and only generation of Omnics....#I hope he gets a happy ending...

#me? about to use tumblr as a diary again? in 2024? unfortunately:/#but here have a waterfall i saw on a hike last week as payment#i am sO tired and exhausted emotionally after dating#there's this guy that i fr thought was going to last and be around for a long time. we spent like every moment together that we could for 2#months straight and if we werent physicaly together we were texting or calling or on ft . just every part of our day had the other in it#not once did i ever feel unwanted undesired or uncared for. not once did i feel that i wasnt sure of his intentions. i felt safer with him#in those 2 months than i ever did with any one else i could think to compare to.#until one day he just didnt think it important to communicate any more. after 3 days of nearly nothing .. hardly any talking . i asked if#he was ok if we were ok. what was going on in his head. he said some ive just been with my buddies and family and havent been on my phone#and just. immediately thats heartbreak yanno. thats :// thats what they say when theres a new girl. but there'd never been a reason to think#there was another girl so i was like ok we're gonna trust bc this dude has been So good in every way. so i said imy but i understand. enjoy#your time with your buddies and with your fam -- i cant wait to hear about it (and hold you)#and i havent heard from him in the 3 weeks since. just randomly#so last night#i send the dreaded 'i miss you' text.#i dont expect to hear back and i accept the hurt that will come with that and the confusion that i've felt settles deeper into my heart#until this afternoon i hop on ig and see a hard launch that was posted an hour after my text was sent#that shit kinda hurt different. but also sent me into a bit of a delirious state where all i could do is laugh bc are you for fucking real#did she see my message? i know it. bc i know him and i know that he wouldnt hide anything from the person he's giving his heart#and his softness to. i can almost imagine how he showed her and promised her theres nothing to worry about#and there really isnt anything to worry about because he genuinely is the type to give his all to the relationship he's in#which feels silly to say after what happened w us. like no there wasnt a title ever#it sucks to call it a situationship because a month ago we were laughing in bed together about how we could never bc we were all in.#just the timing of the hard launch makes me giggle. did my text push them to have a conversation about what they are. was she really the#reason that he went away on me.#im trying not to blame myself . trying not to think about the phone calls i didnt answer. about what i could have done differently. trying#not to think about where we would be if i didnt let my anxieties hold me back. if i wasnt scared about what he'd think of the parts of me#that i keep hidden just a little bit longer than the rest.#and at the same time im trying not to put him on a pedestal. but that pedestal is just where i wholeheartedly believe he belongs#he set the bar for me. he set the standard. i was never too much. i was never too little. he made me feel perfect just as i am

Hello not so local character analyst may i ask you on your opinion on roswaals and beatrices relationship? Imagine finding out your homie has been chilling by your side all along when you thought theyve been dead for centuries
yo YO hello!! :O ok it took me a while to answer this bc i was like "man i want to think on this..." and then i ended up rewatching at Least one and a half season two episodes. (i DO actually like the english dub of rezero for the most part okay...... sue me... HAH)
but okay!!! beatrice and roswaal are characters that i feel like i dont know as well. but i adore both of them for the depth they have - i mean to this day i still feel like i dont 100% understand roswaal (i will eventually i swear. gotta get through all those side stories ljslfj) though i enjoy the absolute duality he has hah between showing he does care for others (LIKE BEATRICE.) vs um. insert all of arc 4 and all the body hopping bc that shit is insane for sure. but as for beatrice and roswaal specifically you put it super well - "Imagine finding out your homie has been chilling by your side all along when you thought theyve been dead for centuries". thats a HILARIOUS way of putting it lajsdlfjs but its true!!!
beatrice in the beginning of her story Basically has this little family with echidna and ryuzu and roswaal—echidna is her mother of course, and ryuzu and roswaal are almost like her siblings. roswaal though—because he has this. Odd relationship with echidna (because shes his tutor and she acts motherly towards him too but also Romantically. its. yeah we all know how messy that is), youd think roswaal and beatrices relationship would skew a little odd, but with what little screentime they have in their early days, ros and beatrice act pretty comfortable with each other? like you could easily compare it to subaru and beatrice—ros likes to tease her and shes a tsundere about it, but theres a clear fondness there!! it really gives off the energy that ros is like beatrice’s big brother? but you know. it doesnt Exactly last because of everything that goes down at sanctuary and in one fell swoop, beatrice essentially loses her three closest companions—ryuzu and ros and echidna—and, as we know, she goes to the forbidden library to wait for “that person”.
its a sad beginning to a story. beatrice thinks shes lost the people shes been closest with, and the people she essentially looks up to. with her personality and the fact that echidna is her mom, she was Absolutely the baby of the group. now shes stuck in a limbo almost, of Waiting. Alone. but—you know, ros starts doing his body hopping thing. and theres a certain detail about this that gets to me, which is—ros Definitely visited beatrice. over and over again. ros’s character wiki says that hes read every book in the forbidden library which. makes sense. he wants knowledge, his dear teacher loved knowledge, theres a convenient library right there connected to his dear teacher thats just in his house, etc etc—but the fact that hes read Every book in that library implies visiting the library Repeatedly.
because ros still stays fond of beatrice over the years— even as beatrice has grown increasingly closed off and abrasive bc of the situation with That Person shes waiting for, it seems like for ros he still sees her as the person he knew then, too. this is Probably added to with the fact that beatrice is an immortal spirit that looks the same no matter how much things change around her, but ros Still continues to think of her fondly time and time again. i think its similar to how he thinks of his teacher and how he wants to bring back the Original. he doesnt want her copies, he wants the person she was when she was alive—the person he remembers. and he remembers beatrice as the person she was when he was in his original body, i think. sweet and well meaning even if she pretends not to be.
for beatrice though—YEAH she thinks ros is dead. long dead, once time passes, and shes just seeing roswaal’s descendants pop up over and over again. its Gotta be haunting, knowing your dear friend is dead and has been for a while, but his children keep returning to visit and they all look like him. they all have his name. they all sound so similar and im Sure that they even act like theyre a little familiar with her. im sure that for beatrice its like seeing a Very Insistent ghost—and she most likely acts aloof with all of roswaal’s incarnations bc the emotions that would bring up would be a bit T^T overwhelming, probably. we see her act distant with roswaal through arc 2, for example—shes likely acting this way bc of 1. the aforementioned Haunting feeling of seeing your dead friend’s descendants and being So Close to your friend yet so far and 2. being distant with said descendants probably makes it less painful bc—no pesky emotional attachment when theyll be eventually replaced by another ros and 3. beatrice thinks these are all different people each time. as much as they look and sound and act like HER roswaal, theyre not her roswaal. so, in a way, both her and roswaal focus on “the original”… ros wants the original echidna. beatrice wants the original roswaal, not any of his descendants.
and another thing thats interesting is that when roswaal reveals the body hopping to beatrice at the end of arc 4–that he IS the original roswaal she knew—beatrice and roswaal look at each other and finally reunite and the anime specifically emphasizes it with this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
as you may already be familiar with, the anime uses this motif of characters looking at each other and Seeing the other person in their eyes to show that they TRULY see each other for who the other person is. and yes, of course ros sees beatrice because hes known her all this time for the past four hundred years. but beatrice? the reflection in her eye is roswaal’s original appearance, just as she remembered it. shes making the connection between her roswaal and all the other roswaals shes seen throughout her life and the fact that theyre all the Same Person. beatrice and ros foil a lot—beatrice looks the same, but shes undergone the drastic change of finally leaving the forbidden library. roswaal has tried to look the same over time, but hes also changed bodies and identities over time for his consistent goal of trying to bring back his teacher—beatrice’s mother. they have the similar weight of four hundred years of various Pains and seeing various people come and go and theyve both been Deeply affected by the same person (echidna of course) who has driven their actions for so long. theyre simultaneously older and younger than they look—beatrice still acts like the child she appears to be, but shes also simultaneously matured bc of her long lifespan and Suffering. roswaal, too, but hes still the same young man chasing after the woman who saved him physically and mentally. theyre two immortal characters who Now know that theyve been so near each other this whole time. even if beatrice didnt realize, ros was Right There. right near the forbidden library.
i think its interesting that its after 99% of arc 4 that ros chooses to tell beatrice that its always been him, the original ros, this whole time. im not entirely sure on Why roswaal waits until this moment, but i think its because now beatrice has left the forbidden library for good and shes Let Go of That Person. shes like a butterfly spreading her wings. and im sure with her distance towards roswaal’s various incarnations as well, she wasnt Exactly open to hearing roswaal out until Now. because now that shes a free and changed person and the two of them are finally seeing their echidna’s tomb, roswaal knows that she’ll hear him out now. he even talks to her about how she got out of the library too, and he iirc either assumes or asks if its bc subaru made beatrice his number one—but beatrice replies that no, thats not why. its bc she intends to make him her number one. which is something that roswaal can see and agree with bc echidna is his number one.
i think its also interesting that beatrice has ros kneel down so she can hit him, and bc ros has. an a bit of a Terrible image of himself and Knows hes done bad things, he assumes its bc of the terrible things hes done in both season 1 and 2. but beatrice replies that no its bc he burned down the forbidden library!! and i think its like. shes ultimately glad to have her dear friend back, and when you spend four hundred years with someone, thats a whole kind of Closeness of its own. and also just. she knows that roswaals lost already. but hah she had to get her bit of justice in for him destroying the library—bc even though she was mentally trapped in there waiting for That Person and wanting to die, it was still kind of her home. for four hundred years. and her mother was the one who put her there.
she also says later that ram has terrible taste in men which. HAH. well beatrice is aware shes been near ros for four hundred years and ros’s actions have hurt subaru especially, who beatrice is now close with. but i also really like that line bc its giving little sibling telling the person crushing on their sibling that they have shit taste akdndndn but no yeah beatrice is aware of roswaals misdeeds. shes aware about the damn body hopping. for crying out loud. but shes overlooking it a bit which is fascinating!!! not entirely sure why (could be just bc shes close with ros therefore she overlooks it near automatically bc of that) but i think the relief of my dear friend was here by my side all this time won out for sure!! we all know immortality is inherently lonely, and the inevitable loss that comes with life is Dialed Up bc of ur long lifespan, but now beatrice knows that she wasnt 100% alone.
roswaal was there for all those four hundred years. they are straight up the ONLY two people who can understand each other with their extremely specific shared history + immortality + complicated relationships with echidna parallels.
so. um. tldr: you know that trope of a character duo where one character is immortal and the other character keeps trying to find character 1 in each of their different lives/incarnations? HAH ros and beatrice are a weird version of that!!!

"So this "alternate me"..." Khan looked up at the question, setting his gaze on the New Ingo who was speaking. It was still surreal to see him and see him so lean, standing tall, the only exhaustion in his expression being that from a long day of work. He was not wary like Khan's Ingo, not scarred and constantly alert to his surroundings. "What was he like?"
Khan looked away, silent. Memories of his Ingo played through his mind. The cocky smirk when he'd win a battle against Khan, the rage he'd displayed at any injustice against Akari, the care he'd always shown to his Noble and his team, the proud expression when he'd successfully gotten a pun past Khan and Akari, how he'd sleep tense and curled up if Akari was gone, but how he'd splay out with ease when she was home... Years of memories, of getting to know him, learning what made Ingo tick. What made him Warden Ingo. What made him a father. Khan had seen almost every expression his companion had had to offer.
And now he'd never see them again.
He turned his head away from the stranger wearing his friend's face. He didn't want to look at a ghost any longer.
"He was my family." Khan finally said, voice soft and thick with emotion.

For the kiss prompt.. can't have revalink without ❦
(ask game from here)
you're so true about this anon what is revalink if not snow kisses persevering or however the quote goes (more under the keep reading)
Revali doesn't think he'll ever tire of looking at Link.
They're atop the Biron Snowshelf, having just permanently finished off the Guardian Stalker buried there, and after they had collected the parts of its destroyed corpse, it began to snow lightly. Not enough to warrant any concern from Revali, but enough for Link's eyes to widen at the event, looking around in quiet, yet delighted surprise. He holds out a hand palm up to the sky and when he catches a few snowflakes, he cups them in his hands and stares in wonder, eyes sparkling.
Beautiful, Revali thinks to himself, utterly besotted in an instant. You look beautiful when you're happiest, my love.
"Have you never seen snow fall before?" the Rito says aloud instead, rather softly. Link looks back at him grinning wide, his eyes bright with glee. Even in the merciless chill of the Hebra Mountains, Revali melts under Link's smile.
"Well, I mean I have," the blond says, rolling his eyes. "But it never gets old. It's incredible." He glances back at his hands and brightens when he finds more snowflakes have fallen in, and starts waddling towards Revali.
"Look how pretty," Link whispers, showing his cupped hands to Revali, who instinctively reaches a hand out to hold his mate's waist. Within Link's hands lies a group of small, but intricately patterned flakes. They were quite pretty, but—
"You're far prettier," Revali murmurs back, and Link snorts at him.
"You're such a sap," the blond says, but he's grinning. He's got snow in his hair now.
"I have no choice, you make it too easy which how much you endear me." Revali takes his other hand to tilt Link's chin up and presses their foreheads together. Gently, he nuzzles his mate's nose and lips with his beak, to which Link sighs in response and wraps his arms around Revali's midsection, returning the gesture.
"You dropped the snowflakes," Revali remarks softly.
Link hums. "I can always catch more. A moment like this with you is much more valuable." He brings his hands up to cup Revali's face and presses a soft kiss to the middle of his beak, the Rito's eyes shutting.
"If you desired so, I'd give you all the snowflakes this land could offer," Revali says under his breath. He's far too infatuated with the blond to be making such impossible offers, but he supposes that he would die trying to give his mate everything he'd ever want.
Link only giggles in response. "That won't be necessary," he says. "I already have you." When Revali pulls away to look down him, the blond's cheeks and nose are flushed pink, but his bright grin keeps the cold at bay, his eyes sparkling with mischief and fondness.
Yes, Revali won't ever tire of looking at Link, his most precious jewel. How could he ever?
