Dear Gaia: (a letter to a fictional planet, because why not)

Your name is never specified in the media in my world that tells your story. I'm sorry for not knowing it. If Gaia is not your name, then what should I call you? You may call me Lumine. It was a name gifted to me by someone other than my biological parents; it felt as though it is not incorrect, so that is what I use in public spaces nowadays.

I am from a planet that is called Earth in my native language. It is a beautiful planet that orbits an unremarkable star within an unremarkable solar system that floats around in the arm of an unremarkable galaxy. I come from a very garden-variety place, but the living creatures where I am are anything but garden-variety; life is preciously rare in my galaxy as far as I know, and each and every single soul in my world shines with the kaleidoscopic brilliance of light passing through a prism. If you look closely at each and every one of us and the things that we see and think and feel and do and create and build, you will understand why I speak so highly of them, despite all our problems.

Though I am of Earth's womb and not yours, and though I'm sure you have a million other things to worry about, I am still coming to you with an earnest plea:

Please have mercy upon your wayward son. I know that he is in so much pain right now that he maybe thinks that he hates everyone and everything, but we saw in the way that Loz cries easily and genuinely wants to play, in the way that Yazoo is curious and asks questions, and in the way that Kadaj reacted to Aerith's kindness, that that's not at all true.

I know that he has made a lot of terrible mistakes in the throes of his agony, but do consider that you put his soul into a body that would be tortured, abused, exploited, and deprived of the basic warmth and gentleness that is essential for every living creature. And, do consider that he tried his absolute best to be kind and good and gentle anyway - even to people who did not have his best interests at heart - despite not having any role model to teach him how.

You had mercy for Genesis. Despite the fact that he was initially prideful and ill-tempered (likely due to the trauma of his own upbringing; who can blame him?) and the terrible things he had done to other living creatures with the gene copying and using them as means to an end, you still cured him of his degradation, and in so helping him, he changed for the better.

I am asking you to do something similar for Sephiroth. Please break him free from the illusion that Jenova is his mother. Please give him safety and space in which to mourn and weep for the horror that was his upbringing. Please give him the insight to understand that none of what was done to him was his fault. Please help him to see that he is not a monster, and that he does not have to act from that narrative. Please help him to rise up from his hands and knees, even if it is on shaky, unsteady legs. Please help him reconnect with his sense of compassion and belonging to the world.

Please help him to see and accept love and help from the people who cherish him - especially Zack, Genesis, and Angeal. Please show him that despite the fact that there are many cruel and terrible things that exist in the world, those are nothing more than problems that can be solved, and please show him that there are still beautiful and wonderful things in the world that deserve to be acknowledged and nourished - things that he, himself can experience. Please help him to redirect his amazing power such that he can once again use it in service to the protection of life and all that is wholesome and good. Please help the words of all the people who wish for kind and good things upon him to reach him. Please help him to make better choices.

No one is supposed to carry this much horror and abuse on their shoulders alone. Anyone who feels as though the world is their enemy, as though their back is against a wall, might end up doing very strange and destructive things to protect themselves and the things they care about. That is what happens when people are in pain - they often end up making very bad choices.

So help him to see that the world is not his enemy. Help him to see that his back is no longer against a wall, because he is no longer a helpless little boy being tortured by very sick and troubled people in white coats. Help him to see that Jenova - the thing he cares about - does not reciprocate his feelings, and help him to see that the people who will reciprocate his feelings - people like Angeal, Genesis, and Zack - are infinitely more worthy of his loyalty and effort, even if they, in their own obliviousness and suffering, dropped the ball on him in the past.

Please help him. The same way you were willing to help Genesis, please help him.

Thank you for considering my plea. Please keep on shining in the way that only you know how to do.

With love and with utmost sincerity, Lumine

NRCB's Writeblr Intro!

Hey all! My name’s Rene and it’s about time I actually introduced myself, huh?

I’m a transgender, neurodivergent writer from the Metro-Detroit area. I love writing fantasy, slipstream, magical realism, and poetry, and I love reading those same genres (if your story has dragons, giants, and/or bug-based characters/races, hmu!) I tend to world build a lot, then pants a plot that takes place in that world. I’m always interested in being tagged in tag games, and if you’d like to be added to my tag list, please let me know!

You’ll find my stories chock full of:

queer relationships between men

rampant optimism

ridiculous concepts taken seriously

questions about religion, purpose, existence, etc.

character-specific motifs

dramatic irony

mild horror

My interests include:

writing, of course! Ooh, and editing!

video games (LoZ, Terraria, Bully, SDV, Subnautica, FF1, 6, and 9 just to name a few of my favorites!)

tarot

religious studies

roleplaying

beading

making playlists/moodboards/anything about my characters!

Stuff about WIPs under the cut!

The Curse of New Royston

Main tag - wip:tconr

Current status: editing; squinting to try and see if this is actually one book or three books in a trench coat

Within the borders of the town of New Royston, Connecticut, one’s net worth proportionally affects their physical size. Sometime in the early 2000s, high school sophomore Gio Violett, a 20-foot-tall giant recently recovering from a near-death experience, meets Cricket Collins, an 11-inch-tall freshman who’s been living on his own since his parents left town with the intent to save up enough money to bring him with them. Together, the two of them resolve to try to break the spell over New Royston, but a variety of adversaries, from supernatural forces to the town’s political machines, stand in their way.

Oracle of the Stained Glass Windows

Main tag - wip:ootsgw

Current status: working on first draft

Kilroy, a pacifist hippalektryon, lives with his herd in the area around the Oracle, a great stone hall of unknown origin that magically shifts itself to create wondrous stained glass windows dyed with different types of magic. Kilroy himself is featured in one of these windows jamming his horn into the gut of some unknown, pitch-black creature. One day, an attempt from Kilroy to avoid his violent, prophesied fate goes wrong just as he runs straight into Mar, the creature from the window. Mar helps heal Kilroy’s injury and Kilroy, shocked by his would-be adversary’s kindness, vows to find a way to avoid their mutually-destructive destiny.

Unnamed Apotheonic Universe WIP

Main tag - wip:uauw

Current status: working on first draft

Darius had been one of many ordinary people pulled into Ashur’s world from his own—and at the nick of time. The portal had been his only way out from the law after exacting revenge on his parents’ murderer. But Ashur’s world wasn’t exactly a paradise either.

Still, faced with the threat of being sent back to the exact moment of his capture, Darius must find a way to get along with the ruler of this world—a powerful, god-like entity with an affinity for scorching sunlight, an insatiable hunger, and a magical mastery over flesh. And Ashur, in turn, must find a way to get along with this human who seems to nitpick every single one of his ethical decisions. But the vast differences between the two of them may just come in handy when its time to confront both of their pasts.

Here's the next character in Wayward Souls AU (that Persona/Zelda Crossover AU from last time) - Princess Yukari Zelda of Hyrule. She has two designs: her princess design (top) and her adventurer design (bottom). At the start of the story Hyrule castle is attacked and Yukari smacks her head and ends up abandoned outside a far off village (idk how I'm working on that), losing all her memories. So she decides to join a group of travelers who agree to help recover them again.

#persona 3 #the legend of zelda #yukari takeba #au tag #loz wayward souls #prince art #sorry for being so dead i just dont care about life anymore <3 do you guys still think im sexy <3 #but this au is something im super proud of so this is only the beginning #also yeah in case ye hadn't guessed this is gonna be yuka/mitsu but like would you expect anything else from me 💀 not the focus though #also small note thanks for all the comments on the mitsuru and Penthesilea piece i cried of sheer joy
