#and has earned a significant degree of trust from them

[pipebombastic]

i didn't know that the first person Cora Jade / Elayna Black called after her release was Punk :(

“He was the first person I talked to after I got fired. I feel he was the best person to get advice from. Obviously, he has been through it all and knows what he’s doing. He always gives me advice to not necessarily do what he has done and to say things too early and say things when you feel them. To control your emotions. That’s what he has been very good at helping me realize. Good advice in those times and I couldn’t have been more thankful for him.”

[neon-sunsets]

aa4 is fundamentally a game about trust. about people who trust each other when they shouldn't and don't trust each other when they should, and about the ways that trust can be earned or broken or misplaced.

see, there isn't exactly a lot of mutual trust to go around in the game. let's take inventory: apollo and trucy trust each other; they also trust ema, who comes to trust them during turnabout corner; trucy and phoenix trust each other in their own weird way (like the fact that she doesn't seem all too worried about him apparently leaving her in apollo's care prior to turnabout succession, or that he allows her to run around crime scenes with his new employee). and, by the end of turnabout succession, apollo and klavier at least trust each other to help work towards the truth.

there's also phoenix and kristoph, who are quite a unique case. this is because kristoph obviously does not trust phoenix, is friends with him to keep up appearances and keep an eye on him, but maintains that outward facade of trust. and while I don't think phoenix spent seven years plotting revenge on kristoph, i do think he was suspicious of kristoph's role in the whole thing. so they were friends (as twisted and weird as their friendship may have been) in spite of, not because of, mutual trust - both of them say as much. this weird, shaky, frequently one-sided trust in each other is only fully broken once zak gramarye is murdered. it's a source of grief for both of them. they did care about each other, as much as neither of them wanted to.

aside from those relationships, though, much of the rest of the trust in the game is one-sided. when characters in aa4 trust each other, that trust is frequently betrayed.

kristoph trusts apollo to follow his lead and accuse the right person. the kitakis trust paul meraktis to treat their injuries. wocky kitaki trusts that his fiance loves him. klavier trusts daryan to do both of his jobs. lamiroir trusts machi and romein to keep her blindness a secret. trucy trusts her biological father. and in all of these cases, the person who trusts another is inevitably betrayed or disappointed. the game is packed full of these examples; I probably haven't found all of them (nor is a betrayal of trust unique to aa4, though I think the game has a unique degree of focus on it as a theme).

there are three specific examples of misplaced trust I want to focus on, because they're essential to the plot of the game.

first, before anything else, klavier gavin trusts the brother who is implied to have had a significant hand in raising him (by the anthology comics, but even if you don't believe that's the implication it's clear from their interactions in-game that kristoph feels he has authority over klavier, and that klavier cares a great deal about kristoph's opinion).

then, apollo justice trusts phoenix wright to be the man he is (used to be).

and finally, vera misham trusts her good luck charm to protect her from the outside world.

klavier's trust in kristoph allows him to be used as a puppet in kristoph's schemes. it means he never questions kristoph's role in it all; though he certainly has questions, he blames himself instead of the person who's actually responsible. it breaks klavier's heart, and to a certain extent his faith in his abilities, when he finds out about what kristoph has done.

apollo's trust in phoenix seriously impacts his belief in goodness and truth. apollo trusts phoenix to be true, and just, and righteous - the man he used to be, the man whose court tapes apollo studied in law school. and then his idol hands him forged evidence and has the gall to laugh about it.

vera's trust in her good luck charm nearly kills her, and this is also a case where her lack of trust in the outside world is consequential. she should be able to put more trust in apollo, in trucy, and in the justice system. but she can't, and it makes her fearful, and the one thing she does trust - her good luck charm - is the one thing she shouldn't.

these three examples are driving factors within the story. obviously klavier's (and vera's, by extension) trust in kristoph is important because it sets into motion the events that culminate in turnabout succession. but apollo's trust in phoenix is also crucial because it allows those events to be exposed.

the rest of the time, the characters in aa4 tend not to trust each other. and they generally have good reason not to. the many instances where a character does not trust another character and is totally justified in doing so, are, in my opinion, less interesting. some examples include romein letouse, who had no reason to trust anyone he was working with given the nature of his interpol mission, and drew misham, whose paranoia, though extreme, was pretty much justified given his involvement with kristoph. their lack of trust isn't foolish, it's out of self preservation.

what are more interesting are the really important instances where characters should have trusted each other and didn't.

zak gramarye doesn't trust kristoph, so he gets a new attorney and kick-starts kristoph's murder plot. then he doesn't trust olga orly and knocks her out, which gets him killed. (obviously he had no way of knowing that kristoph was planning the things he was planning, but certainly not trusting olga is his own fault).

pal meraktis doesn't trust alita tiala, so he tries to kill her. wocky kitaki doesn't trust that his parents are trying to help him, so he acts out and gets himself into a lot of trouble. daryan doesn't trust klavier and goes behind his back, becoming so desperate that he resorts to murder. magnifi, zak, and valant gramarye all have levels of mutual mistrust that lead to a murder trial for magnifi's suicide.

apollo and phoenix don't trust each other, and they both have good reason not to, but it makes both of their lives a lot harder and I do think it damages their relationship. apollo isn't sure if he can believe phoenix and phoenix isn't sure if he can trust apollo to be who he needs him to be. that suspicion permeates all of their interactions in aa4. (they're so fucked up in this game, i'm obsessed with their dynamic.)

and, of course, thalassa gramarye doesn't trust that her children will want her in their life, so she hurts them by keeping their connection a secret. phoenix trusts her judgement and shouldn't, so he helps keep that secret. no one in that situation makes the right choice, and though we never actually get to see the fallout, I can't imagine apollo "foster care kid" "abandoment issues" "punched his hero in the face because he betrayed him" justice would react well to this revelation. I think it sets him and phoenix back, possibly right back to where they were in turnabout corner. and while I think they can repair their relationship over time, I do think it's a significant setback. and, importantly, it's a consequence of the same misplaced trust or lack of trust that is exemplified throughout the game.

and what I think aa4 is trying to say with all of this, just as its conclusion in regards to the truth is that the truth is so frequently ugly and upsetting, is that trust can only be useful if it is mutual and invested in. that people have many motivations, some of which we can never hope to know, and that sometimes they will betray us.

and, looking at apollo specifically, I think aa4 is telling us that trust is worth it in the end, even if it hurts when it is broken. apollo trusts each of his mentors and is betrayed by each of them (to different degrees), and yet he ends up in the right place because he trusts them and others. the force of his convictions, his belief in doing the right thing, and his belief in the good within other people carry him through other people's misdeeds.

and, if he hadn't trusted phoenix in turnabout trump, he never would have brought kristoph to justice or found his sister. he never would have gotten the chance to become a full-fledged attorney. aa4 is saying that it was worth it, in the end.

How does Yves react to jealousy? Wether it is him being jealous or his s/o being jealous…. Cause I mean Yves must have his share fair of admirers

tw: cheating mentions

Part 1/2

It depends on how the relationship between the two of you is defined. He knows he has no right to feel jealous if the two of you haven't officially met or you still see him as an acquaintance. Yves won't stop you from dating others, as long as you're not doing that while in a romantic relationship with him. Because that means you would be breaking the boundaries and promises established, there are close to none if you haven't consented to be his partner.

He knows you more than enough to predict if you want him as your husband or a lifelong platonic companion. There are vastly different rules for either role:

If it's the former, polygamy is a no-go. He will lay his needs on the table on the very first day and the first thing on the list is that he is strictly monogamous, asking him to open up the relationship or for a threesome in the future will hurt him badly and is akin to cheating. Obviously, excessive physical contact with anyone else is considered infidelity, though he allows you to receive hugs and kisses from friends and family members that he trusts, and his trust is not easy to earn. No emotional cheating, he does not want you to have such an intimate connection with anyone else. Yves will express his disapproval if he catches you watching porn or gawking at attractive people on the internet, but he can fix that by making it subconsciously 'boring' for you.

He has no problem with you obsessing over fictional characters, Yves knows that they're not real and he sees them as mere toys for you to play with. He has major issues if you try to turn him into one of your fictitious crushes or your obsession has gotten so severe that it affects your life.

Whereas if you wish to remain friends, or something more special but within the realm of familial, Yves would not interfere if you're involved with someone else. Well, he wouldn't 'interfere' to a certain degree; he wouldn't beg you to leave them for him, he wouldn't try to tarnish their reputation in front of you, he wouldn't even cause a scene at your wedding no matter how much he wanted to shoot your spouse dead. Yves would just watch with an unreadable expression, elegantly crossing his legs and resting his palms on his lap. He would still do something behind the scenes if he thinks you're taking him for granted.

Before even dating your current partner, Yves will ensure that he is the person who is closest to you. He will be the one you would call if things go rough and the first one to know of any major changes in your life, good or bad. You would call him for advice on anything, from something as small as changing the wipers on your car to legal advice. Yves will be your safe space and no one can replace him, ever. Not your parents, your siblings, and definitely not your romantic partner.

You're most likely roommates with him, given the economy now. Living in a jarringly rich neighborhood with him. You feel out of place sometimes, because you're probably a university student struggling to get by or a salary worker living paycheck to paycheck. Yves is kind enough to offer you to stay at his place indefinitely with rent that you can afford.

Perhaps you have your own place, or you live with your parents instead. Or frustratingly, you live at your partner's.

Regardless of your sheltering situation, Yves will more likely act like a monster in law. Arriving uninvited, side-eyeing your spouse for not taking good care of you, every compliment about them is backhanded, bringing in meaningful gifts (i.e., flowers, groceries, freshly baked bread, dinner, food that you have been craving) to outshine your partner's goodwill of the day, subtle jabs that greatly bother your significant other but you don't see a problem with.

You would find yourself defending Yves despite his actions degrading your beloved's self-esteem.

The more serious the relationship, the colder he will be towards them. He will not be aggressively antagonistic, but there is an undeniable air around him that feels like spikes down your partner's throat. He is apathetic to temporary flings and one-night stands, though. Unless he knows they can cause grievous harm to you or carry a disease, Yves will work behind the scenes to eradicate them.

Your partner is afraid of him, and rightfully so. Yves warned him once that he would ruin everything they had if you ever got hurt, either due to direct abuse or negligence on their part. The way he delivered it sent a chill down their spine that they will never forget.

Hurting you includes breaking your heart; so your partner can't leave you without Yves skinning them alive. They can't change their behavior to forcefully make you leave them. God have mercy on them if they ever decide to cheat. Yet, they're subjected to constant terror from this man whom you call your friend if they stay. They're caught between a rock and a hard place. If they're just a regular person, they would have gone clinically insane and Yves takes this chance to wean you off them.

Thankfully though, most of them would be scared off by Yves during the dating phase or your standards became so high that you won't bother losing sleep over another person.

There is an interesting outcome if you happen to be with another Yandere. Again, it depends on their personality.

If they're one of those careless fools who keep you captive, kill your loved ones, and only care about their needs, not your happiness; they're dying of "natural causes" as soon as possible.

Those who are Yves wannabes that stalk you and steal your underwear irks him. He appreciates that they share somewhat similar flavors of love for you, but they are pathetic. They think they know you, but they're not even close to scratching the surface. It's laughable as they try to threaten him behind your back, all Yves would do is stare through them. Ten times out of ten, they would back down out of fear, because they could feel the eldritch horrors writhing under his calm facade.

Pathetic, so pathetic. Yves knows a thousand guaranteed ways he could make them disappear by lunch without any lasting consequence, yet his cheap imitation doesn't even know where Yves is at any given time. They can't even tell that Yves is standing next to them at the bus stop, he just puts his hair in a different hairdo and tries a new makeup look. How are they going to protect you if they're this stupid?

He wouldn't off them immediately though, as long as they're relatively harmless and you're happy, he will let them be.

If it's a rich one with non-negligible influential powers, Yves would keep a closer eye on the both of you. They're certainly a lot more dangerous than the first two, but nowhere near as bad as him. It annoys him that your spouse took up a sizable chunk of his library, but it was necessary to find all their weak points and predict the trend of their behavior. They might have an inkling of who Yves is, but he is still an enigma, the information they have on him is either insufficient or false. They're just as blind as everyone else and Yves always have the upper hand.

They generally wouldn't back down threatening him, though. They think they have their finger wrapped around the world just because of their wealth and connections. Yves was young once, he knows how arrogance flows through the blood of the youth. And so did prideful ignorance.

He would let them think they're winning, their immense big boy/big girl powers are sending Yves running with his tail tucked between his legs. Then, when they least expect it, Yves will scare the crap out of them through various methods. Leaving clear-cut evidence that the entirety of their party is actually working for him, having career and life-ending pieces of information, or simply bypassing all his security and meeting them in their so-called surveillance room.

They would find that all their firearms were unloaded and emergency protocols non-functional. Even the ones that no one else but your spouse knows. Yves knows how to fight, he scoffs at their setup for being so primitive. He would even be offended that your spouse couldn't get your information right.

He would dish out the most ego-wrecking insults while gracefully blocking and dodging their attacks, pointing out their incompetence at gathering data.

Yves would let your spouse exhaust themselves to unconsciousness, deriding them for their terrible physique. Then, he would leave, putting everything together back to normal. He left no trace of him ever being there as if your spouse hallucinated the entire encounter. But they definitely didn't.

He successfully sent a message that he wasn't to be underestimated. They have no idea who they're up against and he will be diplomatic only if they stay in their lane, take good care of you, and make you happy.

However, meeting someone exactly like him, though;

It would be ugly at first. Both Yves and his clone will act a bit more erratic than usual, it can go unnoticed by the untrained eye, but between these two giants? It's war. It's their first time meeting each other's match and their first time losing control over the situation.

They would revert to their default answer to anything threatening their ability to puppet reality: elimination. But both of them are too strong to defeat, so they're stuck in this twisted tango.

Yves couldn't find anything on this person. Even if he did, he knew that the information was a decoy to throw him off his trail, are they even a person? Likewise for your (soon-to-be) spouse, who the hell is Yves? Why has their expertise failed them now? How can it be possible that both of them have the same magnitude of verified information on you, yet neither of them knew about each other until you introduced them?

They both can't believe that they misled each other, making your spouse waste precious data space on your close friend that was entirely fabricated, Yves filling up your spouse's section of the library with a random person whom you never even met.

It's a Mexican Standoff between the two. Upon their "first" meeting with you, all they did was glare daggers at each other while they also suspiciously eyed their drink 'prepared' by you. In the end, neither one had their drink go remotely near their lips.

Until they simultaneously had the idea to lovingly send you off somewhere, maybe asking you to help your partner check on the pie that has been baking in the oven downstairs, fetching Yves a fresh cup of tea, leaving the two intelligence-gathering behemoths alone. Yves's lower eyelid would twitch once when he witnessed them placing an appreciative kiss on your forehead.

They don't mince their words. Telling exactly what they thought of each other, they're not kind thoughts. Once that is out of the way, they acknowledge that they're each other's formidable opponents.

They discuss some more and come to the conclusion that they can't take each other down without somehow unintentionally hurting you in the process. Yves's and your partner's tense shoulders would relax a bit when they realize that their ultimate goal is your joy in living. Trying to eradicate each other is not an efficient or smart use of their resources and your happiness is mutually exclusive to the disappearance of either figure.

Hence, the most logically sound decision was made. It was to work together. Every second spent having to interact in your best interest was agony to either side. However, they cannot deny the immense respect they have for each other despite needing to take some sort of sedative prior to meeting, to prevent accidental strangulations out of fury.

You would be in the dark about what goes on out of your sights. However, you would notice how Yves and your partner are stuck to you even more now. Yves's unannounced presence would be much more prevalent and your partner seems to be clingier than before.

Other than that, life would go on. You have two very scary dogs following you around. You are the world's safest person.

[Part 2]

[butchriptide]

Falls to my knees. Qiblijou. Kinkabli. Whatever you want to call it. Does anyone understand. Does anyone understand.

Now, as a certified AroAce, I am not the type to pedal that every dynamic ever has to be romantic. But also. I think they're cute as a couple. But ALSO also, even if you do not care for them as a couple, I need more people to discuss and write about and draw their dynamic. I need more if it like, yesterday.

Having to put this under the cut because it got crazy fucking long but like trust me. Trust me okay.

The element I find so compelling about them is that they read very much as similar characters at first-boiling down largely to "silly and kind". They diverge from this shared center point largely in how they react to trauma; They both are survivors, persistently... Goofy in the face of hardship. Kinkajou's seems to act as a natural element of her personality, rising up in face of being a generally lonely and somewhat disliked child. It's interesting how her impulsive nature and cheery demeanor overlaps with the genuine emotional intelligence she seems to hold. In moments of low-tension, where her head's clear and she's not immediately tunneling down something else, she seems fully able to process the fact that her trauma DOES effect her and often at least somewhat how. She doesn't have any big feelings on it, but she can still recognize her knee-jerk reaction to a Nightwing roommate being due to her trauma. Later conclusions about Moonwatcher being an exception due to some general difference from Nightwings as a whole, while not fully "correct", does still show her own ability to recognize these knee-jerk feelings as irrational-At least when faced with significant proof of that being the case, rather than doubling down on her own internal logic that's been shaped by her traumas. Her impulsivity and general hyperactivity tends to push this understanding to the side however, leaving a lot of her trauma something she's working past but not necessarily resolved. It isn't that Kinkajou is purposefully trying to avoid her pain to an unhealthy degree, so much as I think she largely doesn't think about it until she's forced to.

Meanwhile, Qibli's goofy exterior seems to largely be a mask; Or, at the very least, somewhat purposefully curated. He lives almost entirely in his fight or flight response, and seems to interpret his own overthinking and anxiety responses as a boon rather than an effect of his trauma. He likes his scar, but can't reconcile how he got it; Can't reconcile the part of him that loves his mother and wants to believe she loves him back with the fact that she hurt him, repeatedly, through pretty much every avenue one can neglect or abuse a child. This makes his optimistic veneer a lot more purposeful, an attempt to earn people's love because there was never any guarantee of receiving it from anyone. I don't believe that being this silly, playful person is necessarily fully disingenuous of Qibli, so much as I think he forces himself to amount to ONLY this. Shoves himself into a box which is used largely to ignore his trauma, as opposed to cope with it. He can't acknowledge everything that's happened to him affecting him because its incongruous with his image-both to others and himself. Despite being perceived as traditionally intelligent, Qibli's honestly incredibly lacking in the realm of emotional intelligence.

I think that ultimately, this leads them to having a very interesting balance and chemistry that's effective in getting me invested in them even though they have very little one-on-one time during the arc. They don't have any particularly "deep" moments together, but there's this implicit understanding and trust in a lot of their interactions. They match each other on a level that the rest of the Jade Winglet doesn't quite hit due to the vastly different levels they're coming from. While Qibli's not lacking his own impulsivity issues, his tendency to scrutinize and overplan becomes much more effective when it's actively curbing Kinkajou's tendency to fling into danger head-first, while Kinkajou's high-energy and quickness to action forces Qibli out of his own head in order to keep up with her.

Beyond the way they balance each other out, there's a strongly showcased, implicit trust between the two of them. Kinkajou and Qibli are co-conspirators, and them dealing with Chameleon in Book 10 (for all the gripes I hold against this book) showcase this perfectly. Qibli keeps Kinkajou from immediately jumping to action, but he doesn't talk over her, and Kinkajou's information is both pivotal to their planning and prompts Qibli to act. An important element too is that Qibli's trust in Kinkajou doesn't result in excessive idolization, like it does with Moon-Not to say that Moonbli is bad, but rather, it's an element of the relationship that makes Kinkajou and Qibli mesh much easier while Moonbli, I wholeheartedly believe, requires a lot more work to make work than canon would suggest. I think this trust is particularly important due to Qibli's issues with control, which he still easily puts aside for Kinkajou when he lets her simply keep the scrolls from Chameleon, instead of doubling down on them destroying them. Kinkajou opts to keep the scrolls at that's the end of it; even if Qibli's worried over Chameleon coming after them, he simply trusts Kinkajou to take care of them, and that's the end of it.

The way they match each other's energy is also just incredibly sweet. The Vase SceneTM comes immediately after it, so nobody ever talks about it, but they literally greet each other like 2000s scene kids who just found out what a "glomp" is.

My ultimate point is I think Kinkajou and Qibli's personalities bounce off each other in a very compelling way already as friends, and find the idea of them as a romance interesting largely because I don't think it would change much of their chemistry. I think they already feel very natural from what we're shown of them (although a lot of the non-ship dynamics in arc 2 are vastly underutilized due to how fractured everyone in the winglet is through the series to begin with) and I think they're sweet due to how much I think they can understand each other. They're interesting parallels that doesn't really get to shine in a lot of books due to the pacing of Arc 2 nor in fan works due to how people don't really read much into Kinkajou and choose to take her as just sort of a flat comic relief.

Also Kinkajou likes tortured guys <3

Social disconnection is antithetical to progressive development, healthy association depends your level of reasoning and expose you to different kinds of experience that will impact you to a higher degree. Confining only to enclave of your thoughts and actions keep you on a fruitless voyage of no discovery, such isolation will fuel loneliness, battling with yourself without any positive results to come up with. It is easier for people who disconnect themselves socially to fall into depression or suffer mental health issues, it creates a void that leave your life chasing shadows as opposed to substance.

In as much as people disconnect themselves socially, the reason will sprang up from the level of closeness they feel with loved ones and how they confide in them with private matters, or whether they have been breach of trust. Distancing yourself from loved ones and friends, and completely slam the door for whatever reason may be better solved and maintain your space, than starkly disengaged yourself from associating. It creates a burden that you have to carry along with you, than providing you with free mind to navigate through that space.

Those who completely slam door of socialisation between family and friends are in different terrain with those, who constantly visit and check on one another it creates that special space of belongingness and togetherness, it is social engineer for growth and provides valuable experience. A phone conversation with loved one after long day, can brighten the atmosphere and give it a different aura, it can serve as a source of strength and motivation to already jaded family member or friend, then it becomes another lifeline for survival, that’s what social disconnection can’t solve.

Social disconnection can come the other way, when it has to do with self-confident, someone who feel they are not good enough to belong or talk in a certain circle, or they lack the requisite standard to be accepted. It is about self-evaluation you have to start somewhere, talk to people who can relate with you, you don’t necessarily need to jump to that desired circle, you have to trust the process of getting yourself there, it might be a circle that you have to earn something before you can belong, if it is such importance and significance to your growth as a person and career wise.

It is a circle of networking, when you visit a family member or friend, they tend to benefit from it, when they are joined by other family members or friends, sharing experience in that circle may be something someone among them needed and may end up finding a companion. Disconnecting yourself socially create mental servitude, it pins you into that zone where you can only reason within, disconnecting yourself from people who are emotional attached to you, is suicidal but when this healthy association is bred and nurtured, it comes a place you run to not only when things are chaotic but also a cheering moment.

Aya & Tristan A short study in plotting and scheming with someone for centuries. I realized that I don't mention Tristan's right hand all that frequently, so this is a post offering some appreciation for that connection. Because I do think that they are quite interesting to think about in some respects. In a universe where most of the significant relationships between immortals that we delve into are primary rooted in familiar bonds, profound romance or hate and animosity, these two are part of just a handful of cases where there are different foundations involved. As cold as the two of them can be, the relationship is always alluded to with certain gravitas by the two of them and by others. equally This is Elijah talking about Aya in the episode where she is introduced: ELIJAH: Aya. Let me guess-- Five-foot-seven, built like a goddess, vicious as a viper? Now this is Elijah talking about Aya in relation to Tristan during the same episode: ELIJAH: You waltz into my city unannounced with your flock of sycophants flaunting news of a threat. All the while, your little lapdog Aya is conspiring with none other than Marcel Gerard. A snide description and intended as such, obviously. But it is curious to see Elijah of all people reducing his former romantic partner, and one he does show to have some complicated feelings towards during the season, to Tristan's lapdog as his way of showing his contempt. It legitimizes the significance of that connection as something noticeably more than superficial. Aya is consistently shown as a paladin and pretty much the greatest defender for Tristan's vision for the Strix: AYA: The oldest society of vampires this world has ever known. We are called The Strix. ELIJAH: Quite the prestigious organization! Responsible for countless wars, numerous plagues, assassinations... AYA: You have to break rules if you want to build a new world. -- AYA: One of our more famous faces. We count amongst our society celebrated actors, artists, politicians... Of course, most of us prefer to live a life outside of the public eye. That doesn't make our talents any less impressive. -- AYA: We're the top of the food chain-- the smartest, the strongest. And, we take what we want. Added to this, she also presents herself as a steadfast advocate for Tristan himself. Both before and after the ocean: AYA: Tristan has been a collector of extraordinary talent for the better part of a millennium. He chooses the best of the best and helps them evolve.

.. AYA: Tristan de Martel guided this organization for centuries. He was a radical thinker, decisive leader, and, to each of us here tonight, both mentor and friend. He was, in a word, irreplaceable. -- AYA: But I did not die! Thanks to the efforts of a true nobleman. Tristan saved us! He earned our loyalty. Tristan, in turn, deposits an intrinsic level of trust in her, not something by any means easily earned from him, even when dangerous circumstances retain him from heading the group:

ELIJAH: The alternative is significantly less pleasant. TRISTAN: I think I will hold off on any confessions. At least until my Strix arrive to free me and burn your home to the ground... Holding no shadow of doubt that someone will provide a valiant rescue from the Original family doesn't involve a small degree of trust. And speaking of that episode it does have one of the most important if subtle moments between them. Tristan spent the episode from torture to torture. Aya spent it trying to make the goal of forcefully saving him from the Mikaelsons not a suicide mission. When she succeeds, he simply looks at her in mild frustration. And goes: TRISTAN: It took you long enough. Aya smiles at him. And that is the moment you receive the strangest "another hard Monday at the office uh?" vibe emanating from them. In that moment you fully believe that yes. These two, cold as they may be, have been having adventures together for centuries by this point. And that is their general impression when they are together. In the little looks they hunt for in the other. In the way they play out of the other as if they were the two on the know whenever they reach the stage.

They are a pretty fun duo.

[the-haunted-office]

There's an interesting aspect to Doom's and James's characters and their dichotomy that I want to talk about, but it's kind of difficult to explain. I'll try, though, because I think it's kind of important!

In the meta of how my muses and their personalities and the way they fit together work, there's a lot of opposites, push and pull, and fitting together in that aspect. Like with Cyrus and Thursday and the way they worked together as Narrators - Cyrus was very strict and set in his ways and wanted to stick to the Story, while Thursday was more lenient and open to change. They clashed a lot, but at time it was their differences that allowed them to work really well together, especially for Stanley and the overall benefit of the Story.

You may have noticed a pretty significant change in Doomsday's overall demeanor over the last few weeks, and how it has coincided with the end of the #the only way in is the only way out plot and the death of her sister, and then how James was introduced not too long after.

In the character meta of how my universe here works, whenever a character dies or part of them dies, their personality or parts of them sort of shift around and coalesce into a new character or multiple other characters. It's like they get reincarnated, in a way. It's a new person, a new soul, but their personality and aspects of them are reused or rebirthed, repurposed, reformed. The end is never the end. Things always come back, in one way or another.

I feel like some part of Doomsday died while in Dimension 42. I'll see if I can explain it, although it's kind of difficult.

It might have been hard to notice, but for all of Doomsday's boasting and strutting around like she didn't care what anyone thought, there was actually a big part of her that did care what people thought of her. Not necessarily what people thought of her as far as how she looked or what they thought of her personality, but she desperately wanted to be accepted. She was desperately wanting a friend, someone to care about her, someone to listen to her, someone to be with her, someone she could trust, someone to stay with her and not leave her. She was constantly putting on this big act of not giving a fuck and making sure to chase people off and say, "Hey! I'm doing whatever the fuck I want and having fun doing it! But also fuck you! Stay away from me!", but if anybody saw past that barrier and stuck with her, she loved that! The trouble was, hardly anyone ever did. But if she behaved the opposite way and tried to behave and do whatever it took to please people too, that never worked for her either. So she chose to put on a big show because it was at least more fun for her and to some degree, she thought it would earn her more respect from others. At least it got her more attention than if she was more reserved and kept to herself.

Being in Dimension 42, after she tried everything she could to stop her sister from dying, in the end it wasn't her choice. There was nothing she could do. Doom was so used to being the one in control, being the one who could break the Narrative, but this time she had no control. The Narrative was a collective of herself from across all timelines and dimensions, and her sister, Thursday, chose to join them. It wasn't her choice - it was Thursday's choice. The tower broke, and Doomsday was thrown out of Dimension 42 and back into the Office. Thursday died, she chose to die, and become part of the Narrative, and Doomsday has no choice, except her own choice, which was to live.

Now here she is, living with that choice, and the choice her sister made. The part of her that died that day in Dimension 42 was the part of her that thought she had the choice to change others. She could always influence others. No matter what happened, she could always charge in there and change things. She could put on this big show and make people hate her. Or maybe she could make them love her instead, if she just tried hard enough...

Except... she can't. Nobody can. You can't make anybody do anything. It's not a choice you can make. Only people can make their own choices.

Doomsday went off to be by herself for several weeks after this event, and you'll notice when she came back she changed her outward appearance. Cut her hair short and is wearing different clothes. She wanted to change some things about herself to be more like herself now, less flashy, and with cutting her hair she couldn't take looking so much like Thursday - it was too painful for her. She effectively discarded the part of her that felt like she had to act a certain way to get attention from others, whether it was to make them run away from her, or to make them look at her. Now, she just doesn't care anymore.

And then James shows up. And what is he like? He... wants... attention. No matter what it takes. And what's one of the first things he does? Tries to get together with Doomsday. Wants her attention. Is all over her. And she rejects him.

Isn't that interesting? When you put it all into the context of how the meta of character building works in my universe and everything. It's like these pieces of Doomsday are trying to fit themselves back together, but the greater part of her doesn't want anything to do with the part she just got rid of. Not sure what this means for them in the future, but at the present it means that Doom will continue to reject James while James is going to continue to try to get her attention, and the attention of anyone who is willing to give it to him, by any means necessary.

✵ + Elio & Kafka (Had to send this one right back at you )

Prompt: Send ✵ and my muse will answer // @resolutepath

Their first impression of your muse: Unsurprisingly, it was how different it all was. From the moment that ball was rolled over, to however it is that they conversed (I'd assume, and I think we spoke on it; that it was similarly to how Kafka spoke to the Express), Elio embodied something entirely different. I don't want to say that he presented her with a 'challenge', but he presented her with knowledge, followed by something extraordinary that she sought or craved in some capacity: change. And to Kafka who seeks difference, who seeks something that is unusual, something that will tickle her brain in ways that many things cease to after a time— that was an immeasurable first impression.

Current impression: Where initially, it was intrigue and based within a sense of curiosity, Elio has earned through a consistent pattern, an undying loyalty to an extent that she, in my opinion, not even arguably, holds Elio in the highest regard, which then extends to his script. A disrespect to either would meet a rather sharp tone from her (and a loss of respect from her end in turn), whether it would come from an outsider or even a fellow Stellaron Hunter, Kafka is the one who would correct the behavior the quickest and with the firmest hand. The first and main example in regard to someone familiar doing so even in a light or even slightly 'emotional' way, for instance, would be Firefly in this scene (where Blade was the one who chastised her). If it had been Kafka, I think that the reaction towards Firefly would have been even firmer. Her faith in Elio has become rather absolute because what they've told her has come true, time and time again (instead of them being mere words and empty promises), which has earned them the highest degree of trust, loyalty and quite honestly, faith that she has to offer. This comes with an equally resolute level of advocating/championing the cause of the Stellaron Hunters.

Are they attracted to your muse? As you also answered, not in the traditional sense, no. But there is a level of comfort between them and her that is rooted in such familiarity (different than what she has with Blade, for instance) that has created a draw.

Something they find frightening about your muse: The lack of innate fear is an interesting prospect, but it doesn't take away the intrinsic nature of anguish that comes as a result of emotional engagement. While such things are reserved for only few, Kafka does grow concerned when Elio overdoes themselves to a point of severe headaches, and her relatively firm addressing of this is all the proof of how she feels about it.

Something they find adorable about your muse: The fact that they think they can 'Dear Kafka' their way out of beratement, especially when the beratement (of affectionate origin, of course) is entirely justified.

Would my muse sacrifice themselves for yours? Yes, and the script wouldn't even need to call for it.

Would my muse go on a date with yours (platonic/romantic)? Absolutely. Though the concept of 'humanizing' is most tied to Blade because of the level of significance, it is something that she would also subject Elio to. I absolutely imagine her, more so than anything, to have urged them to accompany her to a movie theater, but one that isn't too packed full of people— and it'd predominantly be to show him favorites, or biographical films of some sort.

One word my muse would use to describe yours: Determined (read: stubborn).

Would my muse slap yours if they could? No. Not in any capacity.

Would my muse hug/kiss yours? No, but that's just because this isn't something that she engages in except from people that she has that logical and specific level of appropriate level of affection towards.

From Local to Global: How Indian Bolt Manufacturers Are Dominating the Market

India's manufacturing sector has witnessed an impressive transformation over the past few decades, with several industries scaling up operations from local dominance to global competitiveness. One standout sector in this journey is the bolt manufacturing industry. Once seen as a small-scale, domestically focused field, Indian bolt manufacturers are now making significant strides on the global stage, supplying to major infrastructure, automotive, construction, and energy projects worldwide.

The Rise of Indian Bolt Manufacturing

The growth story of Indian bolt suppliers and manufacturers can be attributed to a combination of technological advancement, skilled labor, and government support under initiatives like “Make in India.” These elements have enabled Indian manufacturers to meet international standards, both in terms of quality and quantity.

Social disconnection is antithetical to progressive development, healthy association depends your level of reasoning and expose you to different kinds of experience that will impact you to a higher degree. Confining only to enclave of your thoughts and actions keep you on a fruitless voyage of no discovery, such isolation will fuel loneliness, battling with yourself without any positive results to come up with. It is easier for people who disconnect themselves socially to fall into depression or suffer mental health issues, it creates a void that leave your life chasing shadows as opposed to substance.

In as much as people disconnect themselves socially, the reason will sprang up from the level of closeness they feel with loved ones and how they confide in them with private matters, or whether they have been breach of trust. Distancing yourself from loved ones and friends, and completely slam the door for whatever reason may be better solved and maintain your space, than starkly disengaged yourself from associating. It creates a burden that you have to carry along with you, than providing you with free mind to navigate through that space.

Those who completely slam door of socialisation between family and friends are in different terrain with those, who constantly visit and check on one another it creates that special space of belongingness and togetherness, it is social engineer for growth and provides valuable experience. A phone conversation with loved one after long day, can brighten the atmosphere and give it a different aura, it can serve as a source of strength and motivation to already jaded family member or friend, then it becomes another lifeline for survival, that’s what social disconnection can’t solve.

Social disconnection can come the other way, when it has to do with self-confident, someone who feel they are not good enough to belong or talk in a certain circle, or they lack the requisite standard to be accepted. It is about self-evaluation you have to start somewhere, talk to people who can relate with you, you don’t necessarily need to jump to that desired circle, you have to trust the process of getting yourself there, it might be a circle that you have to earn something before you can belong, if it is such importance and significance to your growth as a person and career wise.

It is a circle of networking, when you visit a family member or friend, they tend to benefit from it, when they are joined by other family members or friends, sharing experience in that circle may be something someone among them needed and may end up finding a companion. Disconnecting yourself socially create mental servitude, it pins you into that zone where you can only reason within, disconnecting yourself from people who are emotional attached to you, is suicidal but when this healthy association is bred and nurtured, it comes a place you run to not only when things are chaotic but also a cheering moment.
