#glad he had a happy ending

[crystal-verse]

god i want. an au where it dosn't work. where it's just arr g'raha who's woken up, and he doesn't have all these memories and all these people keep looking at him like they're mourning someone. the world has changed and time has changed and all the people he knows have changed, but he hasn't changed, he was just sleeping, just sleeping, and the world nearly ended several times and apparently he helped prevent yet another end but he has no memory of this. they want him to join the scions. he does not know these people. (he barely knows the warrior of light, now, but did he ever truly know them in the first place?) his little sister is alive and well. she looks at him like a ghost. she's changed, and she's older than him now. he acts bratty and loud and brash to cover up the fact that he does not know anything it seems, and he is tired but he was sleeping for so long, so how could he be tired?

he doesn't know these people. they seem to know him. he wonders if he'd killed someone, when it was him and not that exarch who woke up. he wonders if it should have been him who was "killed" in that way, if it is him that lives and not that man who had known and become friends with all these figures from legend. he wonders if he'll always be fated to be a historian one step back from everything, because he simply cannot be a hero.

#bound with thread | original posts #letters in verse | talking #g'raha tia #crystal exarch #hello everyone i am being Incredibly Normal about g'raha tia at -checks time- 12:02 am #you ever think about the fact that arr g'raha is basically killed/replaced when the exarch wakes up in 5.3. because i do. a lot #hi i have brainworms over this man he's SO tragic and i need to hold him gently in my hands like how you cradle a small trembling kitten #genuinely happy about his character growth and progression and happy ending and all but arr g'raha was the one who grabbed my focus #and i do miss a lot of that character sometimes yknow? post-shb g'raha isn't the same person as arr g'raha and that's intentional‚ i think‚ #because he has gone through so much that we didn't see. so much trauma and pain because of the 8th umbral era and that loss he got hit with #and he's not the same person because he's *had* to change so much to keep himself and his people alive and i'm glad he's getting to #experience life to the fullest in endwalker onwards but just. i miss arr g'raha yknow #honestly the silliest thing about it is i miss his student of baldesion tattoo. was a fun little design element you know. #show us the tattoo again squeenix. give him back his red eyeshadow that he had. #give him his bow back i am begging #this has been: incomprehensible ramblings from simon at 12 at night

Atlanna was forced to give birth to Orm + he was born to just rule Atlantis, and nothing else yet Atlanna still loves Orm equally to Arthur, that’s her baby

#her smile to reassure him 🥺 #I’m glad they both had happiness in the end #and nothing for orvax while he rots for what he did to them #orm marius #atlanna #aquaman #dceu #dc comics

OH YEAH ALSO finally watched the FNAF movie with the coolest person on Earth, 11/10 movie, Mike looked ready to curl up into a fetal position on the floor and burst into tears at all moments, he is so me, would watch again

#fnaf #fnaf movie #five nights at freddy's #mike schmidt #anyway. i loved the end scene where the four of them do the thing with afton #i was also extremely glad the springlock scene was very palatable and not gory or overly vivid because i can't and won't watch that stff #when i tell you i HOLLERED when cory showed up. almost cried. my BOY #cory is the king of youtube fr fr. nobody does it like him #he's on a hiatus again but we the samurai will patiently wait for the shogun's return #i am getting off-topic. matpat's nametag said “ness” which was extremely funny #afton was in literally two maybe three scenes tops which i was not expecting but he stole the show ofc. very spazzy. dig it #vanessa was so mysterious?? #i kinda loved her and mike's dynamic though. so very silly the pair of them (running from real-life manifestations of fictious characters) #I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW FOXY WAS IN THE MOVIE. THAT MADE ME SO HAPPY #foxy's always been my favorite. my boy. he can have a little murder. as a treat #VANESSA HAD A GUN!! VERY COOL AND GOOD #she barely even shot afton though. honeybun literally had the upper hand by a mile #that man did not have a long-range weapon. he was entirely at her mercy. if she'd shot him all the animatronics would've instantly helped #still like her for some reason though. she permanently has the default sim expression etched on her face #also i don't know if y'all saw but in the credits it says foxy's humming was my boy kellen goff!! #mike was so STRESSED and so DISTRACTED the ENTIRE TIME i see so much of myself in him #can we also agree josh hutcherson looks great with a goatee like that is eons ahead of the peeta look (never read/watched himger gims ok)

ohhhhhhhhhhhh my god that was perfect

#i had really started to accept they just wouldn't end up together but i'm so glad they did #also the last glance we saw of august being him looking at wilhelm as he realises what's happening... yessss #i sympathise with him but i do not regret he ended up with a fate he was just beginning to not want bwahahaha #young royals #the end did feel the teensiest bit hurried but frankly it was unnoticable very happy with it 10/10 perfect conclusion mwah

deadnamed at my father's funeral

#parental death tw #family death tw #not sure how else to tag this one #yeah december was a very rough month for me :))) #i actually drew this on the way to my hometown a couple days after i got the news that my dad had passed away #fully anticipating that one of the grueling parts of the process would be the incessant deadnaming and misgendering #bc my dad himself never once used my right name after i came out to him. not once #i asked and we even got in fights about it! bc he just REFUSED to do it #didnt want to think of me as a man at all. i was his only daughter and his baby girl and he didnt wanna accept that id changed #in that way #but i do know bc his wife told me that despite not really accepting the truth about my identity #he was very glad that i seemed happy about it #so i think thats whatll be important to me about it #he didnt get it and didnt really accept it for himself but he was happy that i was happy #anyway it was indeed annoying at the service but more people were chill about it than i expected #and i also had to deal with fewer people than i thought i would #was talking to one of his old band friends who i vaguely remembered and joked that 'i was a girl last time u saw me' #and he said 'youre still a girl' and i just went 'no i am not. the sideburns beg to differ.' #then at the end of the service when people were leaving he came and asked for my New name and when i told him #he was like 'ok ill try to remember that' #i like to think he realized instantly the faux pas he made and was like Yikes. This Is Her/His Dads Funeral. Maybe I Should Be Cool. #anyway. the whole affair was exhausting but i got some nice things out of it too #like hanging out w my brothers #then we got home and me and my wife both had covid bc life wasnt done kicking me in the dick i guess! #im good now i think tho. its fine its fine its fine

NEW GREAT PRETENDER MOVIE IS SO GOOD BTW.

#i have so many thoughts #i really enjoyed all the new characters!! #i usually dont like it when shows bring back characters that are supposed to be dead but they did it pretty well #dorothy doesnt remember anything from before and she is just living her own life #and the story is about Her first and foremost even if Laurent had his grubby hands all over the case #laurent really has grown a lot in the time since becuase hes keeping his distance he knows he shouldnt be anywhere near the case #and i understand him at the end when hes talking to her at the station. its very clearly a goodbye for him #hes letting go and letting them both go their separate ways #i also really like how unclear edamura's status with the crew is #hes clearly still friends with abby but he doesnt seem to have anything to do with the case #which is so good for him after the shit he went through im glad he actually said no and left #but he still keeps in contact with abby which makes me happy :) #also i did catch the cynthia name drop from i think the like cartel members?? made me gasp #SO SAD we didnt get to see her or abby :( #other notes the lady with the african restaurant was a delight i loved her #ALSO I SWEAR THEY MADE EDAMURA MORE TAN. HELL YEAH #grepre #great pretender #great pretender movie #great pretender movie spoilers

JUPITER, BRINGER OF LIGHT, KING OF GODS

#hxh #hunter x hunter #meruem #AUGH FINALLY DONE WITH THIS...... HAPPY MERUEM MONDAY LMAO #this was initially supposed to be based on holst's jupiter (bringer of jollity) but i ended up reworking a lot of the ideas i had #did a little poking around and found jupiter (the god) has some connotations with light and then the whole #''name with directly biblical connotations'' thing happened; ive been wanting to draw him with a halo for so long now #also gave him eyeshine bc i think it's fun + makes him look a little more menacing; especially when the rest of him is cast in shadow #heavy light connotations yet i put him in the shadows.. #anyways I'm really happy with this one 💖 i dont really draw him a lot but I'm trying to make it count every time i do #''oh i dont like drawing meruem he's too detailed and complex'' and then i turn around and do this #i don't really play around with lighting a whole lot so a lot of this was new territory for me; glad the lineless look worked! #still had to um. manually draw to highlight his chest and abs for the EnjoyersTM out there lmao but other than that #not upset with this one and that's nice! it was meant to be monochromatic green as well. it got away from me lmao #hoatm draws

so i got the sunbreak design works artbook that just came out last week. it turns out there was one final short story in the back of the book to go along with the ones that were released last summer, and it marks the very end of rise. here is a very, very rough paraphrased translation that i told to my friend about it. it's about kagero and yomogi. it's so precious...

Edit: This story has now been properly translated by me and a Japanese friend of mine! Please refer to it here! (this post has a lot of inaccuracies since it was a quick run through, but now we've properly translated it)

#kagero #yomogi #monster hunter rise #master utsushi #utsushi #i could barely sleep last night like idk if they will ever release a full translation of this so i tried my best with machine translate #ughhhhhhhh i love everyone in kamura village so much #but i ESPECIALLY WISH ALL THE HAPPINESS IN THE WORLD FOR KAGERO AND YOMOGI... #kagero 's deadname is literally the thing that ruined everything for him... that's such horrific misfortune... #but i'm glad he survived ... he's the world's number 1 grandpa #also laughing at how they had to shove in one final utsushi x hunter moment right at the end dude pls

time to write an au fic where fully corrupted Orm from the black trident becomes the new king of Necrus

#now I can finally say I thought his original ending for the sequel was going to be him becoming the new king of necrus #but I’m glad I was wrong and he had happiness instead #now I can be evil and use it as a fun au idea #will I ever post it when I’m done… I dunno maybe or maybe not

My graduate thesis - after (somehow) successfully defending it last week to my committee team - just got officially accepted by my school. Time to become a blanket burrito and (try to) sleep forever out of relief that it's finally finished.

#Satari rambles #Hi there and howdy #I have occasionally poked in on here to talk about the whole graduate school thing #I'm just so glad it's done now #One of my committee members had to observe my teacher last night for class and he announced I had successfully defended it last week #And I don't know #Just seeing him and the other members and then my classmates proud #Got a little emotional #Even if it still feels surreal to have written as much as I did and even if I have some conflicting feelings about the end result #Since I did a creative fictional thesis #But I really am happy it's done and I'm almost done with school #(Granted I'm scared for what comes after especially with finding work right now among other things but that's for later) #But yeah #This has been the usual Satari is a dork who rambles in the tag night (even though it's only the afternoon right now) #Please tip your service staff #Have a wonderful timezone everyone #Also my committee head bought me some books to celebrate and oh my gosh I love that woman #She's so dang kind and it was really touching #People are so wonderful sometimes #I hope I can give some of that wonder back even if as a fraction

xl went through so much insane suffering, things like being stabbed until he barely resembles a human form and being locked in a coffin for literally a hundred years, but I think making him immortal and ever-healing and showing how much he learned from his experiences AND ending his story with so much closure and close relationships makes his tragedies a lot easier to bear than wwx's. like, emotionally

#when I see xl I go marlon brando voice *look how they massacred my boy* #reading books 2 and 4 going wow this is really sad im glad that's behind xl and he's at such peace #reading the flashbacks in mdzs and going WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK #wwx does have a nice little recovery arc in the book but he's still clearly really messed up from a lot that had happened to him #and compartmentalizing and avoiding his past and desperately trying to survive another day #in a way xl really wasn't. he was just chilling #this is why I never read tgcf fic unless it's very goofy or pokes fun at canon #it feels like such a more complete story with no loose ends or lingering issues #tho tbf I don't really search for novel fic I search for cql fic and happen to run into novel stuff that I like sometimes #which is usually modern with magic or dealing with various things I thought weren't handled well like the sex scenes #also he was by all accounts a very stable and happy child and young adult. the shit didn't even start until he was 17 #by that point wwx had lost two sets of parents been hunted on the street by feral dogs as a starving child been tortured multiple times #has lost his home to a violent invasion had given up his core in a painful procedure that he knew would eventually kill him #and been in a war #hm. anyway. #tgcf txp

i just finished trimax and oh my god how am i going to function now

#THE PART WITH KNIVES AND THE TREE LIKE HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LIVE AFTER THAT SCENE #the small bit of character development he showed at the end was just so… unexpected? #like after all the shit he pulled throughout the series i didn’t think he was going to show any change but it was really nice to see tbh! #ALSO i am so glad it ended in a happy and silly way because idk what i would have done with myself if the ending was sad lmao #it took me so long to read it after volume 10 like i literally had to take 2-3 week breaks in between each volume afterwards #and i’m still not over the events in volume 10 and i don’t think i’ll ever be tbh 😭 #trigun #trigun maximum #trigun spoilers #trimax spoilers #salo.exe
