A knock at the window
I got inspired and wrote a tiny horror ficlet about Keralis and the evil copy of his roommate (:
This is a gift for my friend @mawofthemagnetar
This was also posted on AO3
There is a banging on his window. Keralis tries to cover his ears and face with his pillow to no avail, as the banging only gets louder and louder.
“I have work in the morning, Papa K needs his beauty sleepy.”  Keralis grumbles under his breath, getting up from his bed. He opens his bedside table, one drawer and then the other, and pulls his little secret out.
Putting his bunny slippers on his feet, he drags himself to his closed window, he peeks from behind the curtains and sighs loudly. It's him again.
Keralis puts a tired hand on his face, he isn’t sure how many times this happened this week and it's only Thursday! 
Princess is getting worried with his growing eyebags, making comments here and there that Keralis is finding each day harder to ignore. Maybe in the morning he should ask Tango for some makeup tips.
He is so sick of this.
The blue eyed man grabs the lock on his window that he installed so many weeks ago, and in quick motions taps the password unlocking the window. He opens it, the frigid 2AM breeze hits his face as Keralis stares at the figure waiting by his window.
“Thank goodness! Keralis I am freezing out there, can you unlock the door for me? Please? I forgot my keys.” The figure covered in shadows exclaims.
“Shiswam…” Keralis makes a tisk tisk sound with his mouth. “Again? This is the third time this week, I sink.”
Xisuma scratches his neck awkwardly. “Sorry my friend, you know how much of a derp I am. I just wanted to grab some fresh air and ended up stuck outside again. If you let me in I promise you it will not happen again.”
Xisuma’s face is shadowed by the darkness, but Keralis can see how his eyes squint into a smile.
Keralis sighs again. “Shishwam… you know I can't do that right?” He tilts his head almost owl-like, looking at the figure standing by his window. As he stands there, Keralis pulls the catch on his secret weapon, and starts to slot bullets into it.
“Why not? We have been living here for years now. Come on, Keralis, don't be cruel to your roommate! Is this about last night’s dinner? I swear it wasn't my intention to eat all the pasta! It was an accident. I can always make more if that is still bothering you.” Xisuma sounds earnest.
“Oh, Shiswamy.” Keralis sounds sad, there is a click as he disables the safety of his pistol, and he points it at Xisuma's head. “We both know that wasn’t the problem. I am so sorry, but Shiswamy is sleeping right now.” 
He stops talking, hearing the shallow breath coming from the room next to his, Xisumas's CPAP being a white noise he got used to ignoring, but in times like this is a grounding cable to reality.
Xisuma Looks tense at the pistol, his eyes glinting red even in the darkness of the night and his expression sours as Keralis keeps talking. “Now I need, as Bubbles would say; go to shreep. So please Shiswan, go away.” He asks softly, waving his free hand in a go away motion.
Xisuma scoffs, turning in his heels, vanishing in the forest that surrounds their house.
A thunder cuts the clear night sky, hitting a tree far away. Keralis breathes shakily, trying to calm his beating heart, closing his window, changing the lock's password again, before re-engaging the safety on his pistol. He pulls the catch and picks the bullets out, to be safely put away. That done, he puts it back in his sleeping robes’ pocket and walks back to his bed.
Xisuma breathes loudly in the other room. And the comfort of knowing he is safe and unaware of the darkness of the night, lulls Keralis back to a restless sleep.

Pondering about how Kai has made his power a part of his identity so much that it’s become a point of complete toxicity to himself . Without his power, he spirals into an immense self destructive phase, undervaluing himself to a total zero.
We continuously see how highly he depends on his powers, titles (green ninja, fire maker, etc), people (wu, social followers) to determine his self worth. Not to mention his cocky and prideful persona in front of others is likely a ‘safety system’ he derived for himself so he is not taken advantage of, or left behind (credits to his childhood). After all, confidence and pride (to a certain extent, of course) are considered attractive qualities to look up to, admire, and not necessarily to mess with.
He’s constantly trying to do as much as he can in so many different things, trying to prove his worth. Because he does not know who he is without them. Without people. Without titles. Without powers. He believes that just truly being himself is not of any value to those around him, and that if he cannot be of service he is absolutely worthless.

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)
At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.
Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

the thing is there's like, a point of oversaturation for everything, and it's why so many things get dropped after a few minutes. and we act like millennials or gen z kids "have short attention spans" but... that's not quite it. it's more like - we did like it. you just ruined it.
capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.
now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.
and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.
and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.
and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".
it's like being stuck in a room with a clown that keeps telling the same joke over and over but it's worse every time. and that would be fine but he keeps fucking charging you 6.99. and you keep being like "no, i know it made me laugh the first time, but that's because it was different and new" and the clown is just aggressively sitting there saying "well! plenty of people like my jokes! the reason you're bored of this is because maybe there's something wrong with you!"
#this was much longer i had to cut it down for legibility#but i do want to say i am aware this post doesnt touch on human rights violations as a result of fast fashion#that is because it deserves its own post with a completely different tone#i am an environmental educator#so that's what i know the most about. it wouldn't be appropriate of me to mention off-hand the real and legitimate suffering#that people are going through#without doing my research and providing real ways to help#this is a vent post about a thing i'm watching happen; not a call to action. it would be INCREDIBLY demeaning#to all those affected by the fast fashion industry to pretend that a post like this could speak to their suffering#unfortunately one of the horrible things about latestage capitalism as an activist is that SO many things are linked to this#and i WANT to talk about all of them but it would be a book in its own right. in fact there ARE books about each level of this#and i encourage you to seek them out and read them!!! i am not an expert on that i am just a person on tumblr doing my favorite activity#(complaining)#and it's like - this is the individual versus the industry problem again right because im blaming myself#for being an expert on environmental disaster (which is fucking important) but not knowing EVERYTHING about fast fashion#i'm blaming myself for not covering the many layers of this incredibly complicated problem im pointing out#rather than being like. yeah so actually the fault here lies with the billion dollar industries actually.#my failure to be able to condense an incredibly immense problem that is BOOK-LENGTH into a single text post that i post for free#is not in ANY fucking way the same amount of harm as. you know. the ACTUAL COMPANIES doing this ACTUAL THING for ACTUAL MONEY.#anyway im gonna go donate money while i'm thinking about it. maybe you can too. we can both just agree - well i fuckin tried didn't i#which is more than their CEOs can say
