Fate or Not, Here I Come
~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~
Malyk snuck between the pillars of the palace, careful not to wake the guards. A sword posted loyally at his side with a dagger concealed in his boot. It was his mission to take out the princess, and he was ready to sacrifice anything and everything he needed to complete it.
“So, you’ve finally come for me?”
Malyk froze to the voice behind him, ever so swiftly drawing his sword and spinning on his heel to face his enemy.
“You’re rotten rule has gone on long enough! I’m here to rid the throne of you,” Malyk announced, gripping the hilt of his sword. The sun had long gone, but that didn’t stop the moonlight from reflecting in the blade, showing a mirror of his eyes glowing with hatred.
“And what will you do once I am gone? Will you mourn?” The princess held her stance, a sword of her own resting at her side.
“Yes. Until the moon returns the love of the sun I will mourn your death, for you are a goddess among beasts. Generous, kind, and yet, feared by all who lay their eyes upon you. Without you, I will surely go mad. Without you, the world will cease to function. I need you, princess. We all need you.”
“Then why must you kill me?”
“You know why. It is our destiny to part in this way with me betraying you and you dying defending your kingdom.”
The Princess sighed. “But what if we changed the prophecy? What if we did not have to die but could live as long as we wanted?”
“What are you saying?”
“I want to write my own prophecy. With you in it. Let us run to the furthest reaches of the universe. Together.”
“You know we cannot.”
“Oh, but what if we could?”
“Nonsense!” Malyk moved closer to the princess until the edge of his sword was at her throat. She didn’t raise hers. “Even if we could, this lifetime is already written for us. Our futures are set in stone. We cannot run from this. Our story is over.”
“But I do not want to leave you yet,” the princess cried.
“You do not have to. I will be here for the very end.” Malyk’s blade dug deeper, leaving droplets of blood which stained the princess’s collar.
“Promise?” The princess smiled.
Pushing his blade more forcefully now, Malyk sliced the princess’s throat. Her blood gushed out like a faulty pipe, but that didn’t scare him. Not the blood staining his tunic nor the chance of being caught ever invaded his mind as fear. And as the princess’s body slumped to the floor, Malyk rushed without hesitation to her side, wrapping his arms around her form and holding to her tightly, not bothering to wipe the tears welling in his eyes.
“I promise.”

6. What music do you listen to when writing?
About a year ago, some friends of mine put together a playlist to help me get the vibes for the book. I often listen to that when I’m looking for inspiration or don’t have a movie or something going on in the background.
Highly recommend. Some of these same friends also organised it into a “chronological” order where the vibes suit each other? It’s magical.

Death planning is extremely important, especially when it comes to the way death can be used as a platform for reinforcing transphobia and cissexism on the trans people who can resist the least. This video is a very important and compassionate explanation on how to make plans for your death as a trans person in a way that can protect you from the kind of death trans people fear (misgendering, deadnaming, wrong clothing, abusive family having control over your body which leads to those things) as well as the kinds most people fear as well (like not having your body disposed how you'd like). Caitlin Doughty does a good job explaining, in plain terms, the things you need to do to make sure your wishes as a trans person are honored after your death.
It also has good English captions!

Hurt #poem
I hurt now
The rain falls down
The grass bare
Weeds taken
To grow again
Dirt rubbed in my face .
I hurt now
But soon I won’t
I know .
I hurt now
Satisfied?
Are you happy hurting people you love
I still think you are low
If you’re trying to work out what I’m thinking .
I hurt now
I hurt
Not because you’re not here
I hurt for the pain & damage
You clearly wish to inflict
When…

vitally important question - do we ever see All Might eat, and if so, is it regular food?
Whenhe reveals his injury to Izuku, he says his stomach was ripped out, so I need to know if he can actually still eat food or if he has to absorb nutrients some other way

3. Free Friday
Because I’m cheating a little and doing this whenever I remember throughout the rest of March, I am going to use the first Free Friday to give an update?
Still currently going through the first chapter for A Masked City, and I’ve made the chaotic decision to change from third person limited to first person. I don’t know why, but I’ve jumped back and forth with both perspectives, and I think first person is what I need? I want to lean into the unreliable narrator aspect of it, especially as a mystery.
Wish me luck? 😬
