The Soldier, the Poet and the King [Yan! Genshin]
The Soldier is someone who will battle for his principles even if it means becoming coated in blood, sweat, and tears as long as he is victorious and able to obtain his treasured prize, that being you. Due to his ambition and perception that violence is in his horizon, he enters the violent world partly as a result of his own judgments. However, that voyage of violence seems to have been worthwhile when you are at the other end. As you extend your arms for his hug, you appear to be gleaming at him with a brilliant smile, but that appearance is merely a deception played on his mind, a greeting that only fools who are in love cannot see through.
After a long day on the battlefield, when he closes his eyes to drift off to sleep, you are the only image he can see as you are everything he has ever dreamed of. He was aware that it was immoral to want you, to lust after you like such a succubus, and to desire to knead every curve within your figure. He was aware that wanting to embrace you and tainting your innocence with his blood-stained fingers and the souls he took was wicked.
Nonetheless, he was driven by self-interest.
He wouldn't have survived this long if it weren't for you. In a quest to become a closer to you, he toiled so hard for you that he slaughtered and endured several scars from the Gods above. He partially gave up his pride, his family and childhood all just for you.
After all, he is a soldier. He must be brave, no matter what.
Will you not fulfil his one and only wish? To simply love you? Merely to be with you? In light of what he has accomplished, he is not really asking for much.
Don't be selfish now.
Consider those who had to die as a result of your actions. Think the women and children he had to massacre. All the homes he burned down, all the people he slaughtered.
Don't you think it would be a shame to have their sacrifice go to waste? Are they nothing but burnt corpses to you?
You don't want their lives to be wasted like that, do you?
Do you?
The Wanderer, Cyno, Childe, Capitano, Alhaitham, Traveler.
The poet is a serene being who values beauty and lyricism, and in his eyes, you are perhaps the most beautiful person in the world. Curiously delicate and appearing to be reserved for you and you alone, his words would stream from his lips much like roses spewing from water, pure and innocent. The poet would captivate you with one of his many talents, whether it was alchemy or simply simple poetry. Despite the absurd number of warning signs that are flashing in your face, it wouldn't take you long to become infatuated with him since all you can hear are his alluring words and assurances of an eternal union. But keep in mind that not all of what he says is truthful, even a poet is capable of telling lies.
One might even contend that poets are the greatest liars since they are so clever and skilled with language that any falsehood would be easily revealed.
You are his dearest muse, but that does not mean you are exempted from his lies, lies that are meant to protect you from the dangerous world. The poet wants to be able to depict your beauty, whether it be through writing, sketching, or even more nefarious tactics that involves a more scientific means. Even if his experiments of curiosity are a little strange sometimes, don't worry too much.
You are guaranteed to be safe.
Despite being arrogant, he was aware of his capabilities. Even you, who he longed to believe was immortal, knew that people were frail and continually constrained by the bonds of existence.
That's why he is in such a frenzy to acquire as many recollections of you as he can through songs and poems, artwork and literature, as well as by collecting pieces for your hair and dead cells that you left behind within your blankets.
He desired to be continually captivated with you and to retain a fragment of you with him forever.
You are his finest creation, after all.
One that he wants to keep around forever and ever.
Kazuha, Albedo, Dottore, Tighnari, Kaeya.
The King is an individual who feels the gravity of needing to oversee and undertake responsibilities for the entire world, so it is not strange that he feels a sense of obligation to you. He believes he must carry out his obligations and adhere to social demands because they are unavoidable.
Regardless of whether the king aspires to be a poet, he is always restrained by that notion of responsibility. In his heart, the monarch longs to be free to frolic and parade through the streets without the need for a care in the world. His people, his feeling of responsibility, though, bind him.
He felt some freedom and comfort in your presence, and that was enough liberation for him. You gave him the freedom to speak without worrying about being judged or making a mistake. Just by being there, he would lavish you with gold and diamonds, as well as opulent clothing and delectable cuisine.
So, he couldn't comprehend why you would be attempting to escape him.
He didn't understand.
He thought everything went well.
So why are you running?
You must take into consideration that this man was nevertheless a king, a monarch capable of starting war in another country with the snap of his finger, so perhaps it was a mistake for you to assume that he might appear to be a carefree poet in your presence. He was a man who was capable of coldness and savagery, and he could have your head in a matter of hours.
Thus, wouldn't you like to explore a little more with his game?
So do play around with his game a little further won't you? Apologize to him for running, and you will not bear any punishment.

Wicked and Divine: Part 1, Chapter 2
all her life, she’s bound to lose…
Summary:
When John Winchester gets a call from a thirteen-year-old girl claiming to be his daughter, he and Dean go to investigate, bringing them into a complicated web woven by a charismatic cult leader named David Elwood–who also claims to be the girl’s “husband.”
Or, how Esther Smith became Leila Winchester.
Chapter Summary: Dean and John attend a cult meeting.
Warnings: Sexual Abuse, Religious Abuse, Cults, Child Marriage, Pregnancy, Miscarriage
Pairings: None
Last Chapter | Next Chapter | Masterlist
Read on AO3
There’s a tension in the silence between John and his son as they sit on opposite sides of the diner booth. It’s this endless loop of quiet understanding: Dean isn’t happy to learn about his father’s dalliance. John knows he’s not happy. Dean knows John knows he’s not happy, and John knows Dean knows that John knows that he’s not happy. And nothing is said about it.
The diner they’ve found themselves in is crowded with the breakfast rush, and Dean is pensive as he stares out the window. John can’t fault him; he’s just found out he may or may not have another sibling who may or may not be in danger.
If John wasn’t as good at compartmentalizing as he is, he’d be consumed with the same topic of thought. He is that good at compartmentalizing, though, and he flips through the newspaper as they wait for the waitress to take their order.
John’s mind is always on alert, always making connections, and he often has to scan his own thoughts for paranoia, to discern whether the alarms going off in his mind are a real sign of a case or just the result of living the way he has for fifteen years. The obituary section has the alarm ringing. Multiple mysterious deaths from the last few months, all young. A few cops, an FBI agent, a reporter or two. All died of hypothermia.
One thing at a time, he tells himself.
The diner is in Carolina, Oregon. It’s the same place he met Melisa Candan almost fifteen years ago. He chose a booth on the opposite side of the diner. It’s the paranoia again. Part of him thinks something about that case must have been cursed.
The waitress arrives, middle-aged but energetic. “Good morning, boys, what can I get you?” Two black coffees, two classic breakfasts, burn the bacon for John’s. She leaves. The coffees come a few minutes later, and within minutes John’s mind is awake and thinking clearly.
The obituary observation was not paranoia, he feels, and then sets it aside. One thing at a time.
“Woodscross,” he says without preamble. “What did she mean by Woodscross?”
“Maybe she was wrong about what state she’s in. Is there a Woodscross in Washington, maybe?”
John shakes his head. He’s actually not sure that there’s not; he just knows that he never met a woman named Melisa in Washington. It has to be near Carolina. Too much of a coincidence otherwise.
“Maybe there’s a street called Woodscross,” John muses.
“What’s this about Woodscross?” the waitress asks as she sets their food down. John doesn’t get snuck up on easily. Maybe he’s not as good at compartmentalizing as he thought, at least when it comes to this.
Dean looks up at her, smiling charmingly. “We got a call from a friend asking us to meet him there,” he lies easily. John wishes, not for the first time, that he could’ve given his son a life where he didn’t have to learn to lie so well. “Do you happen to know where it is?”
“The only Woodscross around here is the Gibborim community that lives out in the woods.”
“Gibborim?” Dean repeats incredulously. “That new-age cult?” And then John remembers the Gibborim bible on Melisa’s nightstand. Of course. How could he not realize?
Well…he knows why. Over the past fourteen years, on the rare occasion that Melisa Candan has crossed his mind, he’s always assumed–hoped–that she’d made it out of Gibborim. The cult had reached its peak in the mid-nineties, and most sects had died out by the new millenia.
Apparently not all of them, though.
The waitress shakes her head. “This is an offshoot. They’re more old-fashioned. And I wouldn’t call it a cult around them, but…”
“Where can we find Woodscross?” John asks her, trying not to sound as urgent as he feels.
“It’s about ten miles north into the woods by Clinton street,” the waitress replies. “You have to go off the trail about five miles in. But between you and me? I’d call your friend and ask to meet somewhere else.”
John and Dean look at each other.
“Can you bring us the check?” John asks.
The ground is surprisingly level even off-trail, and they find Woodscross late that afternoon. It’s almost militaristic looking, surrounded by tall fences with barbed wire at the top, a stark contrast to the wood cabins, gardens, and farmland inside.
When they reach the gates, the guards ask their names. They’re dressed in handmaid clothes, but John can tell they’re carrying guns.
Dean opens his mouth to give them their current aliases, but John’s instincts advise otherwise, and he gets in before Dean can speak. “John and Dean Winchester,” he says, ignoring the look his son shoots him. “We were hiking. New to the area, got lost a few hours ago.”
He expects them to give his directions back to the road, to have to push back on that and ask for more help. Instead, one of the guards runs into the compound to “ask for guidance.” When he returns, he’s not alone.
John knows he’s the man in charge even before he identifies himself as such. He’s tall and thin, with gray hair and military posture and an unsettling calm about him.
“Hello,” he says, in a voice that feels smoother than it should be. “I’m David Elwood. I hear you’ve had trouble navigating the woods?” He holds out a hand. John shakes it, and then Dean does the same.
“You heard right. Would it be an imposition if we stayed and rested awhile? It’s been a long day.” John smiles in a sort of apologetic aw-shucks way.
“A long and hot day. I imagine you must be hungry, too. We have a church service starting soon, you’re welcome to attend; after that, you can join us for dinner, and then we’ll drop you off back in town, if you’d like.”
Cars, guns, phones–they’re not averse to using technology when it suits them. John files it away for future reference.
“That’s mighty kind of you,” he says.
The church is another log cabin, but this one with a steepled roof covered in solar panels. The service is strange and Dean understands, now, why they call Gibborim a cult. David’s sermon is vague and emotionally charged all at once, emphasizing obedience without specifying what that entails. It’s about Jesus, and about David himself–their prophet, their leader, God’s servant–and sometimes it seems like David might be hinting at aliens.
There’s a girl in a chair behind the pulpit, scribbling something in a book. She’s got dark, curly hair and olive skin, with two beauty marks, one above and one below the side of her mouth. She’s clearly young, fourteen at the absolute most. Too young to be as pregnant as she is. And as hard as Dean tries to pay attention to everything else going on, trying to file away as much information as possible for later, his attention keeps coming back to her. There are angry red marks on her wrists, barely visible below the sleeve of her shirt.
Dean doesn’t realize the service has ended until people around him start standing up. John stands, too, and then Dean follows his lead, but his eyes don’t move from the girl behind the pulpit. David goes over to her, takes her hand and guides her to her feet, and kisses her on the forehead. Then he gestures towards Dean and his father, and the girl turns wide, curious brown eyes onto them.
David leads her over to them. “Gentlemen, this is Esther Elwood. She’s my wife and helpmeet.” He has this smile on his face–calm, small, casual, but it feels like he’s daring them to object to their marriage, to her pregnancy, to her age.
Dean can tell John is seething with as much rage as he is. He stays calm. Dean follows his lead. But he could swear that David can tell they’re angry, that he’s delighting in it.
John smiles and extends a hand. “It’s very nice to meet you, Esther,” he says. “I’m John Winchester. This is Dean.”
Something clicks in Esther’s dark eyes. Recognition, and something like hope. This is the girl.
“I’m sorry, women aren’t allowed physical contact with men outside of their families,” David says apologetically. “You understand.”
That’s not a woman, that’s a child.
“Entirely. My apologies, I didn’t mean to offend.”
“Not at all,” David says. Then he looks down at the girl. “Go ahead.”
Esther smiles a little. “This is for you,” she says quietly, and holds out the book she was writing in to John. The marks around her wrist are more marked close up, and they look like rope burns to Dean. It doesn’t escape his notice, either, that this is the first sentence Esther has said to them directly. He wonders if that’s how it always is, David speaking for her, or if David is creating a wall between his “wife” and the outsiders.
John takes the book, careful not to let their fingers brush. It’s a Gibborim bible.
“Thank you, Esther,” John says politely. “That’s very kind of you.”
“You’re welcome,” she says, again in that soft, hesitant voice.
David looks down at her. “Go and study with the other women,” he says. Esther nods and looks at John and Dean. “It was very nice to meet you both,” she says politely, and then leaves.
“You’re welcome to join us for the Patriarch’s class,” David tells them. “We usually have dinner after that.” It doesn’t escape Dean’s notice that this isn’t the original plan he’d invited them into.
“That sounds just fine,” John says, and Dean nods, following his lead.
David leaves to go talk to the other church-goers, and Dean finds himself watching him. Something about him feels sinister, like at any moment he could pull the rug from under their feet in a way they’d never see coming.
“Dean,” John says, and Dean’s attention snaps back to his father. “Look.”
John is holding the Gibborim bible open casually, like he’s just curious about it, but Dean can tell that he’s seething again. He looks down at the book.
The words “HELP ME” are written in large, childish handwriting on the first page.

So, the nicknames "Roses" for comic!Hobie came from Moxie painting them. It's the thing of they don't people, physical bodies or the shit infront of them. They are distantly native, and with that comes the belief that everything that lives has a soul. Moxie doesn't paint their muses faces, they paint the soul of their muses.
Hobie is a complicated ass character, with many complicated ass things to him. He's a dork, but if you meet him in the street he'll only threaten to beat your ass. He cares like hell about everything, but he's the quietest in the room until you start fucking up and he has to step in to beat your ass. When the social climate fucked up that people couldn't have the means to live, and that's pretty fucked up ngl, He beat the president's ass. All while hiding under his little punk song references.
You're catching Moxie's vibe here? There's one main consistency in behavior and emotion with him. He's a sweet dreamer who has a big ass chip on his shoulder in a capitalist hellhole that wants to kill him for caring about anything other then himself and money. That's a rose. No fucking seriously, think about it.
Roses (At-least in america) are no longer a commonly wild plant. Their roots are so weak that they need to be grafted new ones just to survive through growing. They're beautiful, sure. It's the fact that they are beautiful that gets them killed. We only want to farm and chop them down to make shit like Ornament gifts or plucked their petals for people to fuck on. Yes, we also use them for a food produce, but is that your working class experience? The working class is most a country's people. They get farmed and butchered for the fact they had the misfortune of being pretty to another species. The only thing they did was exist. That fucking sucks, man. The tools that they use to keep themselves safe are stripped (thorns) and they are put on display just to watch the life they have left wither away in a day. If you can't tell, Moxie considers plant life apart of important life. They also find it very disrespectful themselves to be gifted flowers because they have the opinion it's basically saying "These were pretty, so I murdered life for you!"
Thank you, Ted Bundy. (Still the character's opinion)
What they painted the first time Hobie came to them was a willow tree, full of colorful roses. The willow part is because many animals in an ecosystem rely on them to rest, to make homes. They were ancient pollinators for bees, they are known in tribe's for pain relievers. Typically historically they are known as biofilters for important water sources to filter out pollution and shit. Put both of those together and you have something beautiful and dangerous, yet important for a living environment. Something that single-handedly makes the water run clean for animals to drink. Something entire cultures build their wonder around because of it's ability to exist.
Admiration was always there, from day one. Mutually.
Hobie is a wild-grown rose. Something that defied all systems in place to prevent them from flourishing. Here he stands, Beautiful. (Moxie speaking)
(Yes this painting is the one hobie stole, that lead to moxie being able to inter-dimensionally teleport and lead to them re-meeting. It's a very important narrative painting.)
(No, they don't have a ship name but we'll make one up and pretend like we always had one in our back pocket. Bullshitting, GO!)
IM FINALLY GETTING TO THIS WOOOO
GO COFFEE ADRENALINE
OOOOOO love that for them. The essence of the soul is captured by their brush and not their physical form. That's wicked.
OMG THE SYMBOLISM OF HOBIE BEING A ROSE. Putting a show of being beautiful and harmless but underneath it all lies thorns. LIKE UGHHHH.
Oh my God I should've kept reading before I wrote that paragraph because your thought process is even better than what I came up with. DAMNNNNN just putting that into perspective is amazing. We give so many things value and yet instead of enjoying its presence and just leaving it be we exploit it.
Bro not you not having a ship name 💀. (Idk man paintpunk, colorpunk, soulpunk, the punk and the painter just spitballing here.

Untitled (“Who watched him”)
A sonnet sequence
1
The Master the incidents red; and heard
nor let all thinking out of silence shall

holding in October real Graceless oath?

The doctor says they stand again, but know,
and on Bond Streets I fain bed, when the glitter

is a doubt—Sweet golden rain: thy should have

Many a strength retain. That shall you master’s

Even if Tempest
A semi-spoiler gush/mini review about a game that no one else seems to be playing. Which is kind of the story of my life. Either I find something long after people have stopped regularly playing... or before anyone else has picked it up. Or nobody else likes?
Basically the overall plot of EiT is that the MC (Anastasia, but as per usual you can change that) has spent the last eight years of her life held prisoner in the attic due to her wicked stepmother and evil stepsister and abusive father. Cue the entry of a handsome prince who rescues her, proposes... and then everything goes horribly wrong and she ends up being burned as a witch (none of this is a real spoiler - it's part of the game description/trailer).
Then MC is given the power of the "Fatal Rewind" which allows her to go back to whatever point she chooses in her life and re-do things. Her goal is to get revenge on those who have wronged her but also her mission (given to her by a cute being who also gives her the rewind power) is to locate the "Witch of Ruin" who happens to be causing havoc in the country.
When MC reboots herself the first time, she returns to the point before she was imprisoned in the attic, and her little 10 year old self runs away from home, and joins up as a cadet to become part of the Winged corps (basically knights who ride giant birds called Garudas). Over the next eight years, she trains in archery and fighting, and she is a total badass and I love her. MC is amazing.
So, that's more or less where the routes begin.
Structure:
The structure of the game is unusual in that you are only able to play the routes in a prescribed order: Crius or Tyril (you do get a choice which to play first of those two, but I think Crius's route is a better intro into the world), then Zenn, then Lucien. None of the endings of these routes (except for the last one) are happy.
Prepare for angst.
And sad.
Big sad sometimes.
Because in between routes (and sometimes within routes) MC plays her "fatal rewind" card, and tries again to get her revenge and also defeat the witch. Or save the life of someone who dies within the route. Once you successfully finish all four routes (without getting a dead, bad, or tragic end), you then get to play through the happy endings, and then there's a summary epilogue.
Additional game play:
Within each of these routes, there is a trial of sorts, which depending on the route, MC is either a suspect, an inquisitor, or the murderer. ... it... will make more sense when you play it. Well. By the second time you get to a trial, it will make more sense. You get a chance to investigate the suspects pre-tiral, but you've only got a certain amount of time to do that, and there are more suspects than time, so you will have to choose carefully.
Save your data often.
Emotional Arc:
Did I mention the MC is awesome? She grows and learns lessons throughout the story, both philosophical lessons, and life lessons. There are musings on "whose responsibility is your happiness?" "Is it better to live for yourself or for others?" "What is the cost of revenge?" And the all important, "Yes, it totally is appropriate to ask for help."
Oh, and the insanity:
This game throws pretty much everything into the soup ... there's the aforementioned witch; a killer clown; a handsome prince; an evil prince; the stepmother; giant birds; a terrible illness; murders; death; rebirth; an isekai'd basketball player (or maybe it was rugby... the game was not clear), priests who have committed abuse; stalkers; a mysterious lost tribe; a ninja; an assassin ... and yet even though some of this stuff was never really answered (the killer clown... what? who? why?), it still was totally compelling.
Maya!:
MC has a best friend, faithful maid named Maya who is there for her through everything ... which means that Maya gets put through the same kind of hell that MC does (and sometimes worse). Maya is great. I wish Maya got a LI too. Maya deserves .... hmm.... fanfic. (Must ponder that - especially since Maya and one of the LI's, Tyril, are a hoot together.)
Oh and of course... the LIs... all of whom were great, three of whom I fell for in different ways... and the fourth... is a good guy too.
Crius Castlerock:
Crius is the commander of the winged forces, so he's a little older than MC. He's got a reputation as a flirt, is always there to try to help everyone else's problems, and will sacrifice himself for others. (Basically, a Shingen Takeda type).
Tyril Lister:
Tyril is an inquisitor, has an unlikely friendship with Crius (and Zenn), is harsh, sarcastic, has a ton of secrets, definitely a tsundere, and is a fan of torture devices. The dialogue in the Tyril/MC route is nicely quippy, and once MC gets to know Tyril, she realizes he's got a soft, sweet, gooey center.
It's... um deep down.
Zenn:
Zenn is a bit standoffish at first, he hangs back, and he's got really good reasons for at first distrusting MC. But once he's in, he's all in. He's always got her back, and appears to have brother zoned her (for... reasons). Oh and he's built. Look at the six pack in the above CG. He looks like Motonari, behaves a little like Hideyoshi, and has Mitsuhide's VA (I found it kind of surreal, because I was rereading Mitsuhide's route at the same time as Zenn's). Zenn's route is definitely a ride.
Lucien:
Prince Lucien is the childhood friend of MC. When she disappeared, he was devastated and has never stopped trying to find her. He's a sweetheart, definitely a cinnamon roll (a running gag is that he'll often tear up, but then exclaim it's just because he has weak tear ducts). Lucien is a sweetheart, but the childhood friends to lovers trope just isn't one of my favorites. But you get to know Lucien a lot better than the other LIs, partially because when you get to his route, the first half is in his POV (for ... plot reasons).
Warnings:
This game is pretty bloody and dark. When the Witch appears in the town, he picks one person and gives them the ability to kill whoever they want, without fear and remorse. It's interesting and terrifying to have routes where characters you know and love are freed from moral restraint. In some routes there are also additional murders /death threats.
The deaths happen off camera, more or less (your screen will suddenly turn red), but they are described, and additionally, you will encounter characters with blood on their hands and faces. I didn't think it was especially gory (it's no Red Wedding) but there are certainly descriptions of violence.
The inter-route endings are sad. Not all of the LIs, or friends of MC survive (but you'll have the knowledge that MC is going to rewind time to prevent it next time).
It's angsty. MC goes through a lot.
In spite of that, I found the game extremely compelling. The crazysauce plot, and emotional arc, and the fun dialogue are all plusses in my mind, and made up for the violence and angst.

hi i’m a useless lesbian can we talk about how insane this song is for south?????
lyrics analysis under the cut (it’s a little messy & completely unread bc i wrote this in one sitting quite late at night but i refuse to apologise for it)
“i’ve been watching him for my entire life, i hate the air he breathes” - twins since birth (obviously????) & always feeling like she’s not doing as well as him
“his foolish decrees, his words so contrived” - getting annoyed at him for fucking up the stealth mission (distracting her by being so insistent about the motion trackers that she didn’t notice coffee guy)
“and i hate the way the townspeople gather outside, they hang on every breath, cling to his chest, home to his heart full of pride” - the other agents valuing north more than south
“the oracle told me to beware the ides” - slightly self indulgent but ct trying to drop hints abt the inner workings of pfl
“and i’d be lying if i said i wasn’t wishing for untimely death or demise” - alluding to her getting him killed by the meta
“or am i just wishing that i could be like you? that the people would see me too as a poet, and not just the muse” - once again reflecting them constantly being compared and south wanting to be treat the same way as north (positively, warmly, etc) - wanting to prove that she’s just as capable as him
“oh it’s not true, i don’t wish harm upon you” - moments of slightly more clarity, their bond as siblings runs deeper than her jealousy- as seen when she’s defending him/working with him during the stealth mission
“from birth we’ve been like brothers of different mothers within the spirit of the same womb” - obviously the song here is referring to brutus and caesar being such close friends that they feel like brothers but since north and south actually are siblings it could be seen as the opposite way- that south never felt as much of a sibling-ly bond as north did
“may the gods strike me down if i ever forsake you. frater meus, you’re beautifully made and to you i’m forever grateful” - highlighting her unstable mental state by constantly bouncing between feelings of anger and protection towards her brother. she cares about him, and appreciates that he’s a good person
“i’ll never forget that you showed me to make art” - another self indulgent bit but north enlisting first and showing south how to handle guns n shit & the art of war
“and i know the love you showed me came from a pure and noble heart” - possibly contrasting her own love for him which came from a selfish/jealous place? more façade-like? also highlights north as a ‘good/better’ person again
“i love you, and if you want, i’ll call you king” - i’m honestly not so sure abt this one . maybe her coming to terms with the fact that he’s higher on the leaderboard?
“but why do i lie awake each night thinking, instead of you, it should be me?” - her desperation for an ai/ jealousy that north got theta instead of her . also in a broader scope, wishing she was the well-respected, ‘better’ twin
“something wicked this way comes” - literally everything abt project freelancer
“and as i set to face it, i’m unsure, should i embrace it, should i run?” - south debating her loyalties, whether they lie with the project itself (due to the lies they told abt tex & the meta) or her brother and the rest of the resistance
“what motivates me? hatred? is it love?” - potentially her decision could be attributed to either of two things: joining the resistance out of love for her brother, or intentionally fighting against them bc of the somewhat overpowering hatred she feels towards him . also her beginning to lose sight of the boundary between those two things
“what’s more wrong, that i too wish to be great? or that my mother wished she’d had a son?” - due to her constant belittling she begins to feel like maybe she doesn’t deserve the same happiness north receives, perpetuated by a (yet another hc warning) mother that perhaps never wanted twins
“and even if i can’t be the one, maybe i can at least make way for him until the day that he comes” - another spiral in which she can’t determine whether she loves or hates him, considering maybe just stepping aside and letting things play out w/ her never getting an ai . maybe trying to make peace w things?
“maybe my name could also be known, that i helped return good to the people, and restored greatness to rome” - her just about coming to terms with the fact that she’s still part of the project, and even if she isn’t the very best agent she can still play a large part in ending the war for good, things almost seem fine until—
“brutus, brutus, brutus” - if this was an animatic, the chanting of brutus would be the point in which project freelancer falls apart, she fights north when he lets tex go by, and then the meta becoming a huge issue & south becoming one of the recovery agents
any semblance of acceptance & respect towards north is shattered & all the progress she was making is lost after the fallout of pfl
“my name is brutus and my name means ‘heavy’, so with a heavy heart i’ll guide this dagger into the heart of my enemy” - in her twisted state of mind, she’s warped her perspective into north being her enemy & the source of her misfortune and unhappiness. she pushes aside the fact that they’re family and targets him, sacrificing him to the meta
“my whole life you were a teacher and friend to me” - acknowledging that he’s always been there for her despite it all & always been kind
“please know my actions are not motivated only by envy, i too have a destiny!” - trying to once again warp things to fit her narrative, preserving the ai at all costs was her sole mission from command, if that has to be at the expense of her brother’s life then so be it. even though her actions are being motivated by envy, she’s trying to deny it. she believes that command will regard her highly for her intuitive plan & may reward her (her destiny- being ‘better’ than north)
“this death will be art, people will speak of this day from near and afar” - remember the ‘you taught me to make art’ line? north teaching her how to deal w/ guns and kill people? yeah she’s turning that against him (as she should)
“this event will be history, and i’ll be great too” - again, she’s just obsessed with trying to upstage him and be better, her jealousy is taking over her life
“i don’t want what you had, i wanna be you” - this one . this line . god it takes the cake, it drives the bullet home LORD . at this point she doesn’t even care about taking theta away, she’s just had such a miserable life that she wishes she was her brother . south is such a tragic character i am Not okay
& then there’s a small beat before the next part, if it was an animatic it this is where it would skip to the aftermath of his death when she’s talking with wash
“i always knew i could be the one” - one of the recovery agents, finally getting the spotlight over north
“though i feel the endless pain of being and i am scorched by the sun” - regretting killing him, her line about hating being compared constantly but not knowing what to do without him
“of humble origins and born of the cursed sex” - again, reflecting that she wishes she was her brother & briefly reminding us that she wasn’t always this way
“my name is brutus, but the people will call me rex” - ‘my name is [whatever ur hc for her name is] but the people will call be south. all she’s ever wanted is individuality but she’s been part of a matching set til the day she died
.okay
i’m hurting . ik some of this was kinda stretched and a little incongruent but the main theme is south flip-flopping between hatred and admiration of north, wishing she was something more than she is
i’m not proof reading this bc it’s late and im tired but i heard brutus for the first time in a while and had a mf epiphany

STUDY: BUCKY BARNES
— basics.
▸ is your muse tall/short/average?
Pretty tall for a woman at 5′11.
▸ are they okay with their height?
She was self-conscious about it when she was younger, but now she’s okay with it.
▸ what’s their hair like?
Dark brown and naturally curly, though she sometimes straightens it.
▸ do they spend a lot of time on their hair/grooming?
It depends. Nowadays, if she’s not doing anything special she just washes and combs it. For missions and training, she keeps it braided. She’ll style it for more formal events. When she was younger, she was much more fashion-conscious and very finicky about her hair.
▸ does your muse care about their appearance/what others think?
When she was growing up, Bucky was very tuned-in to what was and wasn’t fashionable. Now, she values being clean and presentable, but she isn’t so concerned with what other people think about her looks.
— preferences.
▸ indoors or outdoors? indoors
▸ rain or sunshine? sunshine
▸ forest or beach? beach
▸ precious metals or gems? metals
▸ flowers or perfumes? flowers
▸ personality or appearance? personality
▸ being alone or being in a crowd? both can be nice
▸ order or anarchy? order
▸ painful truths or white lies? painful truths
▸ science or magic? science
▸ peace or conflict? peace
▸ night or day? day
▸ dusk or dawn? dusk
▸ warmth or cold? cold
▸ many acquaintances or a few close friends? a few close friends
▸ reading or playing a game? reading
— questionnaire.
▸ what are some of your muse’s bad habits?
Overprotective, ruthless, sometimes a little too pragmatic. She’s not great at handling negative emotions like guilt or anger; she tends to bottle them up and try to ignore them, which isn’t a particularly healthy strategy.
▸ has your muse lost anyone close to them? how has it affected them?
Yes. The Barnes family lost Bucky’s infant brother, Joseph, to SIDS when Bucky was six years old. They lost her (at the time) youngest sister Eileen to influenza when Bucky was eleven; Eileen died in her sleep in the same bedroom as her three older sisters, and Bucky was the one who woke up in the middle of the night and discovered that Eileen was no longer breathing.
She lost several friends from the 107th during the war. The worst for her was Ruth Jones, who was Bucky’s closet friend in the unit. Ruth was a smart woman with a truly wicked sense of humor, and she was blown apart by a shell a few weeks before the unit was captured at Azzano.
She lost the rest of her family during her years with HYDRA, though she didn’t know it at the time. Her father, her mother, her sisters, and her close extended family (aunts, uncles, and cousins) all died while she was held captive.
She lost Natasha, for a time. When General Karpov discovered that the Winter Soldier and the Black Widow were romantically involved, he forcibly separated them and had all of the Winter Soldier’s memories of Natasha removed.
She lost herself for decades, too. Not sure if that counts for the purposes of this question.
Sometimes she feels like there’s some force in the universe that is determined not to let her keep anyone she loves. It’s like a great wave cresting over her, and someday it’ll crash down and take away Steve and Natasha and everyone else she cares for, and there’s nothing she can do to stop it. She’s trapped waiting for it to hit.
▸ what are some fond memories your muse has?
Growing up during the Great Depression wasn’t easy, and Bucky’s family definitely had their share of struggles. But Bucky never doubted that she and her sisters were loved. She has a lot of fond memories of her life in Brooklyn – of pulling pranks with her sisters, going to mass with her parents, reading books with her father, and learning to cook from her mother and her Aunt Mo. She went dancing with her friends, and went to baseball games with Steve, and had good relationships with her neighbors. She cherishes her memories of the happy moments.
▸ is it easy for your muse to kill?
Yes. Even during the war, she found killing to be much easier than she expected it to be, and she worried that it maybe should have bothered her more than it did. But it was war; someone had to stop the Nazis and HYDRA. Bucky was in a position to do it, so she did.
She regrets all the innocent people she killed for HYDRA. But she is, in general, very pragmatic about death – maybe too pragmatic. As far as she’s concerned, sometimes, to solve a problem, someone has to die. That’s just how it is.
▸ is your muse capable of trusting someone with their life?
Yes. She trusts Steve. She trusts Natasha. She trusts Sam. She trusts @oftomorrow‘s Clark Kent.
▸ what’s your muse like when they’re in love?
Soft. So soft. Bucky is a very sweet and devoted girlfriend. She likes to spoil and pamper her lovers – cook for them, cuddle with them, give them massages, that kind of thing.

+Anyone who wants to :-)
1. Shinedown - Hope
You can be twisted but still optimistic
Be the black sheep but not a statistic
May not know who you are
But you know what you've got
So hang on to the absurd
Hey, have you heard?
Hope's not a four-letter word
Careful, you might catch yourself going under
Careful, you might lose your breath like the others
Careful, you might slip and never recover
Careful, you might burn to death like the others
2. Set It Off - Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing
So could you
Tell me how you're sleeping easy
How you're only thinking of yourself
Show me how you justify
Telling all your lies like second nature
Listen, mark my words, one day (one day)
You will pay, you will pay
Karma's gonna come collect your debt
Maybe you'll change
Abandon all your wicked ways
Make amends and start anew again
Maybe you'll see
All the wrongs you did to me
And start all over, start all over again
Who am I kidding?
Now, let's not get overzealous here
You've always been a huge piece of shit
If I could kill you, I would
But it's frowned upon in all fifty states
Having said that, burn in hell, yeah
3. MindaRyn - Like Flames
Get up now
Get up now stronger
I believe in myself
Stand up now
Stand up now, shouting
I'll never run away
I might lose control
Of this world
Destroy it for our sakes
Let me shout like flames
Hey you follow me
You must take my hand
You know the way I stand
(Believe it
It's in your hand, break out)
Climb up now
Climb up now
Higher, I accept myself
Wake up now
Wake up now, shouting
I won't throw it away
Maybe, lose control
Even if it's about to disappear
Move forward beyond that door
Let me shout like flames
4. Skillet - Feel Invincible
You make me feel invincible
Earthquake, powerful
Just like a tidal wave
You make me brave
You're my titanium
Fight song, raising up
Like a roar of victory in a stadium
Who can touch me 'cause I'm (I'm made of fire)
Who can stop me tonight (I'm hard wired)
You make me feel invincible
5. Three Days Grace - Time of Dying
On the ground I lay
Motionless in pain
I can see my life flashing before my eyes
Did I fall asleep
Is this all a dream?
Wake me up
I'm living a nightmare
I will not die (I will not die)
I will surviveI will not die I'll wait here for you
I feel alive when you're beside me
I will not die I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
Bonus - Skillet - Not Gonna Die
Despair ...
You come to me, with your poison and your misery
Death ...
You come to sting, with your poison and your misery
Death surrounds
My heartbeat's slowing down
I won't take this world's abuse
I won't give up, I refuse
This is how it feels when you're bent and broken
This is how it feels when your dignity's stolen
When everything you love is leaving
You hold on to what you believe in
No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna stand and fight forever
(Don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna fight for us together
No, we're not gonna die tonight
Don't you give up on me
You're everything I need
This is how it feels when you take your life back
This is how it feels when you fight back

I'm asking this in good faith because it's something I've always struggled with as a new follower of Hellenism but how do you interpret all the myths where the gods do immoral things?
yeah. this is obviously a complex issue. and christians who oversimplify it are as bad faith and cringe as atheists who oversimplify christianity. i could easily point to questionable shit in the bible and be like "kinda fucked up bro". but obviously that would miss all kinds of complex rationalizations (justified or not). it's a shallow interpretation of things and says a lot more about the accuser than the accused. but as was pointed out, i was foolish to expect any genuine engagement on this side of tumblr.
with that out of the way, let's get to your question. so the first and most obvious way to approach this question (and imo the least interesting) is that the originators of these myths simply lived in a different culture where rape was okay. i don't think this is very compelling though, because they definitely understood rape to be wrong. at least rape of women within their in-group. rape of the out-group is another thing, but that's normal for pretty much every society at the time. even ancient israelites, god's "chosen" people. the bible has passages outlining how the israelites are to take women of conquered people. point is, they didn't see rape in all instances as morally wrong. there is no "thou shall not rape" commandment. in any case, i generally find moralizing about history very boring so i don't want to focus on this too much.
another major issue here i think is that most people are coming into paganism from a christian background and so their default assumption is that your beliefs require literalism if they're genuine. this has always seemed a bit silly to me. as if christians are somehow more enlightened because they literally believe in talking snakes and the world being created in literally 6 days and literally believe a man built a boat that could fit every animal and that men used to live centuries and so on. but the primitive pagans?? ha! they didn't even literally believe their myths. they thought of them as allegories hiding deeper, symbolic meaning! what a bunch of fools!
so the idea is that the ancients didn't believe the god's literally came down and took physical form and literally raped women. these were myths to explain the origins of heroic bloodlines or a cosmological explanation for other gods/principles or perhaps simply narrative devices to instigate some drama. because it's important to remember a lot of myths as we know them are explicitly inventions of poets created for the sake of entertainment. or sometimes they explain some aspect of life or the world around them.
hesiod's theogony even opens with the muses saying "we know how to tell many believable lies, but also, when we want to, how to speak the plain truth.” so were the muses telling the truth? or were they lying? a mix of both? there's no way to know! we just take what we can get and make the most of it. the ancient greeks were comfortable with not knowing everything.
again, too many people come at this from a christian perspective. they are expecting the gods in myths to be moral role-models and for them to lay out commandments about acceptable codes of behavior but that's not how ancient morality worked. ancient morality was more philosophical than religious (this is actually kind of a false dichotomy because the ancients saw religion and philosophy as entwined) and there were a great many different schools of thought about it. there were actually some greeks who did believe the gods were purely good and that they were models of moral righteousness and the myths were wicked lies. which is another point: the ancients weren't a monolith. there were all kinds of different perspectives.
and here's another point that i've seen a lot of christians utilize for their own god; who are we to criticize the gods anyway? who are we to question their actions? do we know better than them? the god of the bible sometimes comes off as cruel and capricious, but christians are eager to handwave it as all a part of god's plan or how he's the font of morality so anything he does is good and just by definition. who are we to judge the judge? is this not the highest form of hubris?
i'm not saying i find this point convincing, but it's an argument. so far i haven't really given my own personal views on the matter (i will in a moment). i'm just pointing out the issue is complex and there are many different ways of approaching it. the points made above aren't even all the possible points. the ancient greeks debated these matters extensively. and many christians adopted these debates and applied them to their own god and are still debating them today (like the euthyphro dilemma, for example). and they've had two thousand years to work out all the kinks in their theology and apologetics, and again even to this day there is much disagreement. so i think you can hardly fault the greeks for not having some definitive answer to these very complex questions. we can definitely get into the weeds of it and examine these questions (which we will on my discord server someday) but that's outside the scope of this ask right now.
personally, i understand myths allegorically. true, but not literally so. i don't believe gods became physical beings and physically raped people. i think these are just allegories for divine inspiration, the imbuing of divine blood within heroes, or as cosmological explanations for aspects of the world. also sometimes myths are just good, complex stories with the possibility of all kinds of interpretations.

Construction Conundrum || Juno and Miyeon
TIMING: Current
LOCATION: The Vinyl Countdown
PARTIES: @seasandfoam and @fox--tales
CONTENT WARNINGS: None
SUMMARY: Juno is interested in learning about who is responsible for construction around town and decides to go to Miyeon for answers.
“One last reminder for the day, there’s a new traffic pattern off of main street starting today due to the new construction happening in the pines. A crystal viewing station and mining history of Wicked’s Rest is being built.” Miyeon pushed the last of her notes away. She’d survived today’s show. All that was left was to wrap it all up and she didn’t need a script for that, not anymore.
“Alright I know it’s tragic, but our time together is almost done for the day.” Miyeon cued up a sad slide whistle sound bite. “Don’t cry too much, we’ll be back tomorrow bright and early ready to help you start your day. Remember there ain’t no rest for the wicked, but you can always take a break with us. I’m Miyeon, your hostess with the mostest signing off.” And without further adieu, she started playing Cage the Elephant’s “Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked” and slid her headphones off. The next block was queued up and ready to go, she shouldn’t need to sit and monitor things too closely. Which meant it was time for a break. Miyeon wondered if there was enough time to run to A Latte to Love before she had to check back in. Only one way to find out.
She hopped out of her chair, turned to the exit the booth and nearly fell over when she saw a face pressed up against the glass. “Oh my god,” she shouted, clutching her hand to her heart which was beating a mile a freaking minute. At least the person there didn’t get to hear how freaked she’d been. Man, it was a good thing the mics were off. Oh my god, she hoped they were off. She glanced back quick. Off. Okay, good. Now to deal with whoever was lurking outside the sound booth. “Hey, hello,” she said with a small wave as she snuck out the booth door, closing it softly behind her. “Um, do you need something? I don’t know where Leti is but I can probably help you if it’s quick.”
Juno had heard enough music to understand it existed, and it wasn’t as if fae didn’t have their own. It might just have looked a little different. Though she’d never met any, she had to wonder what kind of muse’s were responsible for some of the sensations coming out today, because Juno didn’t think they deserved to be popular at all. Not that it mattered. She wasn’t at Vinyl Countdown to insult the artists trapped behind royalty walls. Whatever that was.
It wasn’t hard to catch Juno’s attention, especially not where developments were concerned. It was like a siren song (despite her dislike for them). She had heard the radio show a few times now, always listening for new information from around town. It was faster that way, and though she was almost sure they were lies, just as on the internet, she wanted to trust there was some kind of reality to them. She peered through the glass, the girl on the end looking much younger than herself. Unfamiliar, too.
The shock that scattered across her expression did not make Juno feel bad. Instead, it brought a smile to her face. She was leaving the booth. That was good. She took a step back and blinked at the younger girl. “No, I don’t know who Leti is. I want to talk to you.” She jabbed a finger through the air before resting her hands on her hips. It was uncomfortable, coming across as human. “This won’t be quick. Or it might be. Depends.” She clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth. With a sigh, she began, “the development happening in the pines– who’s behind it? Do you know?”
Okay, it was going to be one of those days, wasn’t it? Miyeon smiled and tried not to let her eyes go too wide and betray her desire to skip right on over this conversation. “Oh, okay. I’m flattered, honestly. Leti owns this store, by the way. And the station. I just get to steal the spotlight for a little while every now and then.” Miyeon really wanted to cross her arms in front of her chest and close up, but she knew how to conduct an interview, and how to direct conversations. She kept her hands to her side and tried to keep her body language open, receptive. Her eyes were locked on the woman’s across from hers and everything about her countenance said she was all ears, ready to listen. Maybe if she looked like she was interested, she could keep this conversation short. Or at least on track. Something told her this was about to go off the rails.
“The development?” Miyeon blinked and had to jog her memory. Honestly, as soon as the scripts were out of her hands, most if not all of it was out of her mind. At least for the next twenty minutes or so. “Oh, uh, the crystal tourism place?” Miyeon got her updates on the town's comings and goings from all sorts of places, wherever she could nail them down, really. Most were sent in or funneled through the town hall and the mayor’s office. “I’m not sure, let me grab my notes, I might have jotted it down.” She placed a finger to her lips and waited to make sure that the other woman was going to remain quiet while she opened the door to the booth and slipped in to shuffle together the pages of notes she’d left tossed across the desk. She slid back out of the booth as quietly as she came and started flipping through her papers once the door was shut safely behind her.
“Hmm, I have an idea of who it could be, but I don’t remember one hundred percent and I don’t want to give you the wrong information. I think I have more info in my planner, though.” Against her better judgment, Miyeon waved for the lady to follow her to the desk in the back where she kept her things in between shows. She had her laptop to quickly edit the podcast together for the afternoon and, of course, her meticulously detailed planner. “So what’s got you interested in this development, by the way?” she asked as she started flipping through her planner, looking for her notes for today’s show.
So at least the girl was being helpful. That was a nice change of pace. Usually, Juno would have to fish out a thanks or some kind of other bind in order to see any real development for her cause. Juno watched as the girl dashed into the sound booth, mild frustration by being told to be quiet put on hold, but only because she wanted the information that the girl had.
But as she emerged, it turned out that she didn’t have the kind of information Juno quite needed. A certain bitterness cast itself upon her as she watched the girl silently, mouth beginning to taste sour. The more time she stood here, the more it was wasting her time, especially when it came to finding any real information out. Maybe she would just need to listen to a re-recording and put the information together herself.
Just as she was about to tell the girl nevermind, she was being told to follow. Juno tensed slightly and she nodded, following after the girl. There was a desk, a laptop, and a few books. She wasn’t sure what a planner looked like. Maybe it was in the laptop. At her question, she shrugged. “They shouldn’t be doing it. It’s disturbing the balance of what already exists there, and haven’t they heard about the warnings about the crystals, anyway?”
So the planner was not in the laptop. Interesting. Juno restrained herself from grabbing the planner out of the girl’s hands by crossing her arms over her chest. “Do you not wish to stop greedy tourists? Aren’t you tired of having to re-route yourself?” Maybe that wasn’t the best way to put things, but did it matter? “I, for one, would love to go ape-shit.” She’d heard it at the center she lived at very briefly and had found it funny. Understanding the context of it made it less funny, though. “It’s our action that puts a stop to things like this.”
Oh, so she was one of those. Miyeon had encountered plenty of crunch granola-eating, tree-hugging sort of people by now. A lot of them weren’t always too keen on some of the topics on the show. Like this one. Somehow always the things she literally had zero control over. She hadn’t guessed that was the kind of person she was dealing with at first sight, though. Miyeon worked to keep her countenance neutral, a well-trained habit that was easy enough for her to fall into when she was interviewing people. She’d learned a while ago not to wear her thoughts on her face and to keep her emotions close to her chest when she was working. If she wanted people to talk – and she did – she knew that the best way was to mirror the other person and if she couldn’t do that, then neutral was always safest. No one opened up to someone who confronted them and made them feel like they were in the wrong. And so Miyeon kept any thoughts like those to herself. Poor Leti got to hear all about it later, though. Every time.
“I hear you,” she said as she continued to flip back through her planner to find her list of incoming calls and requests from earlier this week. “This town is always a little off balance, though. Maybe it will end up tipping the scales the other way, who knows.” She added a smile and tried to keep things light and friendly. Like she knew full well that this girl was not going to take any kind of positive spin on this, no matter what she said, but it was worth the effort to try and cut some of the tension while she skimmed.
“Ah, here,” she said, pointing to a spot in her journal. “It looks like it’s partially funded by the town tourism board and that’s who called me to share the update. It looks like the majority is owned by a private company or whoever, though. I don’t know their name, though. But, I can tell you the name of the construction company they hired is called…” Miyeon sighed and rolled her eyes before reading off the name. “A Ladder of Fact. Oh my god, really? They went with that?” She shook her head, placing the planner back down on the desk and closing it shut.
“I mean, yeah, the detours are annoying but I don’t know if—” Miyeon stopped herself short. She so didn’t care about the disruption to nature or whatever. The Pines were wicked dangerous and if people wanted to make money off of dumb tourists, whatever, get that coin. But her eyes lit up when she saw the potential in all of this. The potential for a story. “I don’t know if that’s the worst part about it.” Her voice shifted along with her stance, growing more confident and defiant. “The worst part is all that destruction, you know? And tearing down trees and stuff.” She wasn’t the most ecologically concerned person so she hoped she was on the right track. “You’re right. People should go ape-shit.” Not that she planned to do that at all but she would be there with her phone ready to get the story. “You should stage a demonstration. Like start a protest or something. Try and force them to stop what they’re doing. Use your first amendment rights. Put it in action. Take down the man!” She grew more and more animated with each suggestion up until the point that she threw both of her hands balled up into fists up into the air.
Okay maybe that was a little too far, even for her. She put her hands back down and brushed her pants down, just to give her something to do with her hands. “I mean only if you want. I have to be impartial and stuff since I’m the media and all. But you can always call in or purchase an ad spot and I can spread the word on the show.”
As the girl spoke, Juno listened intently. Her eyebrows furrowed. “A private company?” It wouldn’t be that hard to figure out which one. People often wanted to explain their success to those in similar circles. She still had a few binds on those who’d done her a service, but hadn’t quite deserved water rushing through their lungs. Maybe she would need to cash in a few favors. The construction company’s name had been posted in various different places around town. “I’m familiar. They wear hideous shirts.” Because the shirts were hideous.
Juno watched in real time as the girl’s expression changed. Shifted into some kind of knowing. She wanted to know what it was, so she kept quiet. As the other spoke about the trees being torn down, Juno arched a brow. So this girl wanted her to stage a protest? It wasn’t her style. She worked better alone, mostly because the kinds of people who also wanted to save the environment weren’t keen on murder being the answer. Besides, it wasn’t like she could show her face to a newspaper. Now the girl was talking about first amendment rights. “I don’t believe in your government. That’s arbitrary to me.” She crossed her arms over her chest, gaze falling over the girl in front of her.
“I”m not going to buy anything. And I don’t care if you run more media on it. I got what I needed. Now I know where to look.” It was lost on Juno why the girl had suddenly gotten so interested. Whether it was a con she was trying to pull or she was being genuine, the nymph decided she didn’t care. She had gotten what she needed. It was concern that often won others over, and it seemed that she was trying to do the same. “I’d recommend that if you care about the trees, you do something about it as well. But perhaps you should stick to…” Her gaze wandered the room, “what you’re familiar with.”
Miyeon leaned forward, her eyes wide and blinking rapidly. Did she just say what the kitsune thought she just said? “Uh what do you mean by my government?” she asked. She couldn’t help herself. “Are you, like, from another country? Or…” Miyeon looked around and wasn’t finding any answers just hopping out at her, shockingly enough. This was so weird. She thought the government wasn’t hers and was arbitrary? Was she some kind of anarchist? Or… No way. Supernaturals couldn’t like have their own government, right? Not that her parents would have told her one way or the other. Maybe her brothers would indulge her questions. Later, obviously.
Yup, alright this chick was a lot and Miyeon wasn’t sure she wanted to deal with all of this. “That’s a shame. It could have really helped but you’re right. I should just stay in my lane. And you can go out and wave your anarchy flag or whatever it is you plan on doing.” Her smile was sweet despite the undercurrents of snark lacing her words. She turned and started to walk back to the front of the store, sighing a bit dramatically as the girl followed. “You know, it could have been a good story. It might have actually helped you. And others. But if you want to do things all by yourself, I guess that’s just how it’s going to be. Good luck taking down the man single-handedly, though.” Miyeon knew she shouldn’t hope for a disaster but part of her definitely hoped something newsworthy was going to come out of all this. She could use the headline for one of her segments at the very least.
She really needed to watch what she said. Juno cleared her throat, clasping her hands together in front of her. “I’m originally from Jeju-do.” Not a lie, not necessarily. The sick, twisted feeling that gathered in the pit of her stomach was absent. That was good. She thought herself above those around her, especially humans, but the last thing she needed was for somebody to look into her. Maybe it had been a mistake, coming to a radio show host. What if the girl decided to blab about what she’d been confronted by today? “So your government doesn’t serve me.” Not that it ever would; humans liked to stick their heads in the sand when it came to anything different. How foul.
The girl ahead of her replied, sickly sweet, and Juno felt a bout of annoyance flair. At least she’d gotten the information she needed. “Waving a flag is a fool’s goal, that wouldn’t do anything for the situation.” It was slightly lost on her what she had actually meant. Whatever, it didn’t matter. The radio show host retreated towards the front of the shop and Juno followed after her. Not so much to continue talking, but to get out of the shop and return to her priorities. “I don’t need you to wish me luck.” Because really, she didn’t. She’d need to be careful about how she approached things now that she knew somebody was aware what she was looking into. Or maybe a promise bind would be enough to keep the topic behind closed doors. “I’ve got enough luck on my side. Just promise me that you won’t tell anyone that I came looking for this information? How am I supposed to get anything done if somebody starts to talk?” She frowned, dramatizing her expression for the sake of the girl ahead of her, almost mimicking the way she’d done so earlier. Even if it was a sarcastic agreement, Juno could hold onto it.
Miyeon nodded, crossing her arms in front of her chest. “Gotcha. That makes sense.” Only she didn’t totally believe that. She kept her suspicion off of her face, but it was there just beneath the surface. Now that she thought about it, that sort of thing totally sounded like something her parents or brothers would have said. Only less intense. They followed the law for the most part, especially with Miyeon around, but she was totally aware that being centuries old made that sort of thing matter a whole lot less. So all of that made her wonder if maybe this lady was more like her than not. “My family is from outside of Gwangju so not too far away. I’ve never visited Jeju-do, though,” she replied.
She sure was interesting, though. Miyeon had honestly sort of expected her to storm off without another word but instead, she was trying to strike a deal. Granted, that wasn’t anything new for her. She was used to people getting a little shifty or weird when they remembered that she was part of the press and had a platform. “I can’t promise that,” she said as she started to carry on with her day like she hadn’t been interrupted. “Plus, I don’t even know your name so I can’t exactly tell them who came here asking questions. Unless of course, you want to introduce yourself.” She shrugged. “But that’s cool if you don’t want to. In which case, have a nice day!” Instead of introducing herself like Miyeon had hoped, the girl took it literally and just walked out of the store. Well, one less thing for her to worry about she supposed.
