I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself.

@survivedempathy / @vetrhridar : He's just going to gesture, his head nodding discreetly towards where the Queen of Tyvia stands further in the ballroom, laughing at her sister. He knows the two were friends years ago, before everything. His eyes move to meet Emily's carefully, eyebrows raising in question. "You talk to her?" He signs quickly, unbothered by the glances towards him. / survivedempathy corvo (set like. During Elsa’s coronation thing okay let me indulge myself.)
➜ ACCEPTING / this is random .
the voices around the throne room hall echo quietly, choruses of different voices chiming in to create a social function. emily kaldwin didn’t have the same type of coronation. circumstances were far too dire for her to wait to be of age. corvo & a few select members of a royal court made the bigger decisions. emily was just a figurehead until her first big decision: the regenters fates after they attacked she & alexi mayhew. emily just glanced at corvo’s features, standing tall, hands linked behind her back. a very rigid, proud stance. corvo attano is many things, but he has never once failed at being an excellent father. spymaster isn’t the reason he knows her friendships; it’s the fact she cares. emily was planning on congratulating elsa as it was. a speech about region bonds, something uplifting to promote unity & allyship. emily’s lips are pursed. no, he’s asking not out of the empress to the new queen of emily’s empire -- but to be an old friend again.
“ i don’t think it’s relevant anymore to ask her if she wants to play hide and seek. ” as if that was the only option, emily knows it isn’t. it’s just exceptionally overwhelming to drudge up a childhood that was torn apart by various circumstances & then laced with a rat plague just to usurp the throne. emily’s voice is soft, words spoken just for him. sepia eyes soften, though. that was sarcasm, but she might try speaking to elsa like an old friend none the less -- just not exactly like the sarcasm.

He's totally sneaking up behind her, slipping into the house as silently as possible, home early for once. There's a telltale grin touching his lips, childish in nature as he moves forward. One arm loops easily around Katie's waist, the other playfully covering her eyes as Andrew lightly kisses the back of her neck. "Guess who." He murmurs, utterly playful as he pulls her against him. // @survivedempathy
she was thinking of what to do for dinner. the debate in mind of what would keep best on a low heat in the oven. a meal kept that wouldn’t taste overcooked for when he would come home. a small light laugh escaped her lips as she felt her husbands arm around her waist. her body melting into his. HOME , he felt like home. “hmm , is it the guy off of the daz advert.” she teased lightly before she turned to look at andrew. “oh darn it’s you.”

@survivedempathy → from here.
👄 + edward
‘ he’s an idiot. ’
maybe it’s not the fondest way to describe his brother , but it was true sometimes. a sigh reverberates through hollow armor , lingering in the joints & warming cold metal joints. if he could , he’d smile , instead , he closes his eyes , metal creaking & shifting as his hands settle on his hips now.
‘ and stubborn. and angry, and short-tempered, and rude, and an idiot. ’
his voice is frustrated , a rare release of any kind of negativity for alphonse. but , for all his faults & flaws , he loves his brother dearly. even when he makes it so difficult to sometimes. they’re all they have , really.
‘ ....he’s also caring, and strong, and driven. ’
you don’t get to be the youngest state alchemist without having drive , alphonse thinks. edward is good & kind & warm when he lets himself be , but he doesn’t , not often enough. barely 15 & his brother carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. he wishes he could take some of that burden , he’s strong enough to carry it now , strong enough to do just about anything.
not strong enough to do enough.
‘ i wish he’d just....be a little less stubborn. we’re all we have left, and sometimes.... ’
i worry he’ll work himself to death for my sake.
‘ i wish he’d be more human. he said it himself. we’re not gods or devils, and we aren’t saints or sinners. we’re just....human. ’

y’all hets out here shipping leon and claire ( and i’m not opposed ) but forget that moira burton legitimately sacrificed her life for the safety and security of claire redfield and took the time and energy to understand claire as a friend and mentor, but all claire and leon did was end up accidentally together twice. moira did for claire what leon did for ada and y’all just overlooking the SHIT out of that all the time because we have to have that het relationship.

@survivedempathy : ❝ It's all so familiar yet I know I’ve never been here before. ❞ (elsa)
Beastly body stepped out from the shadows, large hind paws clicked against the hard ground as sharp nails met floor. A slight growl escaped lips. —- - ❝ Not many have. ❞ voice was cold, almost harsh, but he spoke the truth. Those that found their way inside were usually quickly scared off by a monstrous roar, but many never even made it to front gate - avoiding his home for one reason or another, and many more didn’t even know it existed. He stared at the stranger, waiting for a response, silently wondering how long she had been there and what was so familiar about his gothic, rococo style castle.

@survivedempathy. / baby terra for baby elsa.
a sniffle , a quiet sob as the boy makes his way to what he can assume is the town square. he’s cold & tired & lonely , but he can’t seem to find his parents. this world is so strange to him , he doesn’t like it , he wants to go home. small arms are crossed in an attempt to find any sort of warmth. out of the corner of his eye , terra thinks he sees a girl , maybe his age. he follows her for a bit , calling out after a moment.
‘ h-hey !! where are you going ?? ’

@survivedempathy sent: “It’s too cold for you to come out here without a jacket on.” alec at ellie!!
cool air on her face is.... refreshing. it helps her to organize her thoughts ( or rather to tune them out ), and truly she’s uncertain just how long it’s been. at first she doesn’t even hear alec, not really --- more like she doesn’t quite process what he’d said --- though a moment later her head turns so she can address him at least semi-properly.
“it’s not too bad, stop your worrying,” in reality ellie is a bit chilly, uncomfortably so, but stubbornness and a bad mood leave her unwilling to admit it. “’m just fine,”

@survivedempathy.
“and where have you been?” a motherly undertone in the teens voice and her arms folded across her chest. “and don’t give me an excuse , i want the truth.” a PAUSE for a moment as she watched him. “did you get into an argument?”

@survivedempathy. / starter ft. edward & alphonse.
‘ ...ed ?? ’
the word is spoken into the silence of the night , & if alphonse didn’t know his brother better , he’d assume he was asleep. but years together often betray edward , & alphonse shifts from his spot on the floor , opening his little book & flipping to a page in the middle. he recorded things , often asked people how things looked o felt or smelled , all of the sensations he has all but forgotten being so long in his armor. but he doesn’t mind. his brother sacrificed so much for him , how could he ever mind ??
‘ ...are you awake ?? ’

a neat little timeline of events and people in the captain america verse because it’s hot as fuck:
--- grace and dolores ( @truthsecn ) joined the military at the same time, straight out of highschool. nobody cheated getting in and they were both equally as good. actually, they worked SO well together that the military kept them on the same squad even out of bootcamp. their comradeship was invaluable on the battlefield.
--- so while grace is 18 when she joins, that makes dani ramos ( @tornsurvivors ) about 25 and already a leading captain in the air force. they keep their relationship absolutely professional at all times. grace respects rank without a doubt and even after boot camp, grace and dolores end up under the command of dani. another invaluable comradery nobody could deny. they all got shit done, they got shit done neat and they followed all guidelines, respected the LOAC and were quickly becoming heroes in the fight against terrorism.
--- grace’s mother and brother were instantly lost in a terrorist attack and her father was put on life support. this all happened shortly after boot camp and is one of the pertinent reasons grace is so respected. she didn’t get angry, she just got determined. that is the reason they all have to fight. it’s starting to be revealed the terrorist organization wreaking havoc goes by Legion.
--- once Legion was discovered, a squad was dispatched. grace and dolores are captain and lieutenant by this point. the whole entire mission was a set-up to rid the world of it’s leading soldiers. it was all wonderfully set-up, with the exception of dani not being present because she was leading something else that grace, dolores and dani’s brother would all be on the same team that got brutally attacked. diego died, grace nearly died and dolores was kidnapped.
--- it was revealed that grace would never be able to walk again and she was diagnosed with severe ptsd. in all her turmoil, she volunteered for the newest super soldier program that mirrored steve roger’s super soldier program, but with newer technology. even under all of grace’s duress, the gov’t took the volunteer to heart. the process took one month and then she isolated herself for one month just to get used to her new body and new abilities.
--- the end of the one month, legion tossed another little attack at tony stark because the rest of the avengers were currently busy, legion thought they could take out tony stark. with the help of jessica jones ( @survivedempathy ), grace stepped in to help tony stark, effectively thwarting another plot. ( jessica and grace already know each other from liasons of legion and political menaces trying to ruin grace’s reputation by hiring jessica to dig into grace. grace is a good egg. end of ) tony stark, in appreciation, builds the sword to the air force’s ‘sword and shield’ creed, also giving tony new technology from the super soldier program to work with.
--- dani and grace’s relationship becomes less professional. grace becomes a steady friend of jessica. and then the big one, dolores returns as a terrorist threat working directly for legion. they transformed her so much that she’s far more robot than just cyborg, practically rebuilding the woman.

( starter call | @survivedempathy )
RULING WAS DIFFICULT. zelda was learning that the hard way. of course, ruling a kingdom that hadn’t actually been ruled for a century probably made it more difficult. she had been back & forth across hyrule more times than she could count–––– meeting with leaders, organizing trade & setting up plans for rebuilding properly. much progress had already been made, but there was still more to do.
PROGRESS WAS EXHAUSTING. &, while it made her proud, it took a toll. though she had yet to be crowned queen ( & she refused to until more of her people were comfortable & happy ) but the kingdom rested upon her shoulders. she hadn’t had much time for fun, for research, & the toll was obvious enough that link had insisted on a break.
SHE HAD NO objections.
TO GET FAR enough away that they would ensure that she wouldn’t be bothered, one of the borders were selected–––– the one closest to arendelle. link stayed a far enough distance away to allow her to research plants & animal life by the border, giving her a semblance of privacy & a chance to relax that she had desperately needed.
UNTIL SHE SHIFTED to another clearing & found that she wasn’t alone at all.
❝ oh, my apologies. ❞
SHE FOUND HERSELF pausing before she could approach the woman, her notebook closing as she tucked her pencil behind her ear. the last thing she wanted was to encroach on another person’s time.
❝ i hope i’m not interrupting. ❞

There was an entire world beneath the Great Sea, and no one else knew about it. As Gale wandered through the castle, an uncomfortable feeling washed over him. Darknuts and Moblins were frozen in place, as were the stone pillars that had crashed onto the floor. Portraits of important people hung on the walls, but Gale couldn’t recognize any of them.
Most disconcerting was a statue, proudly displayed in the center of the hall, of an individual who looked just like Gale, only older. Walking carefully up to the statue, he attempted to read the plaque, but it was in an old text that he couldn’t understand. Come to think of it... Valoo, the Deku Tree, Jabun... they were talking in the old language too... right? Gale thought to himself, as he was slowly coming to the realization of who the statue depicted.
Oh no. No, no, no, not this again... Why does it have to be like this? Gale anxiously paced around the statue, hands gripping his head from the stress and the pressure. He didn’t want to be some legendary hero. All he wanted was to save his sister... did he really have to go through all of this?
Gale stopped in his tracks as soon as he heard an unfamiliar voice echoing through the halls of the castle. He was terrified, but he didn’t want to let it show. Gripping the hand of his sword, he kept a defensive stance; he had to be brave. “Show yourself... who are you?!” he called out, his voice wavering only a little as he feared for the worst, wishing he’d never gotten into this whole mess.

@survivedempathy said :
“I wish things were different.” riza at roy!!!!
INBOX PURGE.
eyes move up from the piled of his paperwork to eye the lieutenant. they linger on her for a moment before returning back to his work. the words spoken were soft enough for him to hear. how he wished things were different. he has little regrets, but most of them linger towards her. he wishes that she didn’t follow him into the military career. he wishes that he could live with her.. start a family. but here they were. two people that aren’t able to be with each other.
❝ me too. ❞ he says lowly in response to her. a heavy swallow in his throat as the pen halts his action. he picks up the paper he was writing, handing it over to her. ❝ god how it wish they were different. ❞ tired eyes meet hers as she takes the paper.
