hiii, i hope this isn't a dumb question to ask, but i was wondering, did sebastian initiate the first kiss or was it us?

NOOO ITS NOT DUMB DW!! <3 i'm assuming ur asking about the very first kiss, back when he was still human. and i'm going to be so honest but i did not think that far back LOL i'm going to say it was us. simply bc he was so stinkin nervous and we took pity on him LMAOO i imagine human seb to be less mean, but just as mischievous and a little shy (all his wiki rly says is he used to be kind and well-mannered). and with some of the details i've alluded to in fic and in asks, he was definitely grappling with a lot of butterflies in his stomach when it came to reader!

rare moment of me posting about the blorbo things that happen in my friends' dms rather than the other way around: i'm still crying about that damn orange cat and his goth elezen bestie (who belongs to @tiredassmage)

the tl;dr is they are each other's Answer to "The Question" i.e. venat's question to the wol in elpis. meteor, who represents the beauty and joy and hope in the world. although he does not hold azem's soul, he does hold their crystal and has inherited their legacy and that was by his own choices, not by fate. to shay, meteor is the tender flame of hope needed to salve the burns of the realm's suffering - a strong sword-arm and bitter resolve are not the only things one need's to save the world, although shay brings both and more to the table. he can slay all the gods he wants, but the world's not going to change for the better without a genuine desire and drive for it to be so. so the journey is worth it, yes, because meteor shows him what can be.

but shay is also meteor's answer to the question. because if meteor shows shay What Can Be, shay shows meteor What Is, and that for all the pain, it is still life, and life by its own virtue demonstrates the reason for its continued existence. because, first of all, it's a miracle and a privilege that any of them are alive at all. it's a kind of "bad miracle" or act of divine intervention that they're alive in the way that they are (the sundering). shay is someone who has gone through and bears great pain. it's threaded throughout the way he carries himself and that isn't to say it's All He Is, but that pain is a defining feature. and meteor looks at shay, and who shay is because of those experiences, and he can say too that the journey was worth it, the suffering was worth it, because where would they be, who would they be, if it'd never happened at all.

it's also like ... it'd be a little shallow, if meteor claimed to love the world wholly and only loved the scions of the world - the alphinauds and alisaies and lyses and so on. not to say those guys are Perfect or Non-Messy either, but clearly there's a marked difference between them and, say, thancred, or estinien, or shay. and the world, frankly, has a lot more messy and complicated and even straight up awful people in it than it does good ones.

but meteor will protect this world. he will love this world. that is what he bears even before he takes up azem's crystal. he will take up the burden of loving the world and its people even if they'll bite and curse him for it, and he'll still want the best for them, and expend his breath to see to it that maybe there's one less lonely child, one less broken home, one less injustice, than there was when he found it. and looking at shay reminds him of that promise. reminds him of the answer that the journey was worth it, because he'd rather live in this "world of suffering" than not at all. the journey is worth it by the simple fact he even got to embark upon it at all.

@ervaurem spoils me and has forever won my heart for giving me these screencaps. Look at him--- look at his dumb face. Adol, I love you. ( I'm only here to post these and appreciate Shai. Goodbye. )

ft. my muse : shay houston.

shay   was   beginning   to   tire   of   having   this   conversation   with   her.   she   loved   the   girl.   maybe   not   in   the   way   she   deserved   to   be   loved   , needed   to   be   loved   ,   but   it   was   love   regardless.   she   just   couldn't   give   her   what   she   wanted   -   a   relationship.   she   thought   she   understood   that   when   they   first   entered   into   this   .   .   .   .   situationship   or   whatever   the   fuck   this   was.   she   lets   out   a   sigh   as   she   lights   up.    ❝   so   why   don't   you   just   lead   me   on   then   ?   ❞   she   asks   ,   her   tone   a   bit   more   harsh   than   she'd   meant   it   to   be.    ❝   because   ,   honestly   ,   something   is   better   than   nothing   at   all.   don't   you   agree   ?   ❞
