Thinking about Harvey's little

"...be safe and b-be good, Bruce Wayne..."

So, to overanalize it: I don't think text can convey how big of a confession that is? I don't mean romantic. I mean like, this is Harvey's most personal, hardcoded language. This is the stuff he tells himself all the time. Survive. Be a good person. It's him showing his inner machinations, his innermost thoughts and fears, and maybe, just maybe he regrets saying it halfway through bc of it and he trails off.

Bruce says "I love you," pretty nonchalantly and tries to play it off as casual ("knock it off") and it's clear he's more used to treating ppl this way. But of course, Bruce knows Harvey and how he is, he understands. Of course he does. He'll do anything for Harvey.

To Be A Sword

Word Count: 396

No warnings

______

She.

Her…

Link always found it odd that people personified their weapons. He supposed it just came with the territory of finding a reliable blade. It also might have helped if he actually liked it. It was a reminder of an event, a time that never was and never will be. Yet here It is, glowing strongly with soft chimes of recognition. But that wasn't what was important right now.

What was important was the obviously lost terrified person that stood in the pouring rain.

Wielding the Master Sword… No wonder I don’t understand this person, He’s probably from millennia away! 

His eyes shift to the ground. Is Cia behind this again somehow? Is there gonna be another war?? 

  Later, he can think more about it later. For now, he should get the both of them inside. Link lets out a small breath in an attempt to calm himself. Obviously, this person hasn’t time traveled before. He remembers his first time being jarring so it’s probably best to take this slow and steady, no sudden or quick movements. He shifts the gilded sword, his reliable blade, to his right hand and holds his left up for the other to see. The stranger makes a sound that must mean recognition of the mark on his left hand. Good. Link nods as they share a mutual look of understanding. Maybe this person has the same mark. Or maybe not.

“Is everything ok? Who is that guy?” Link turns his head enough to see Malon clutching a pitchfork, seemingly ready to jump in or defend herself if need be. Talon follows close behind to peek at the stranger.

“Malon, can I sleep in your room for a bit? We’ll be housing this person here. If… that's ok…!” Malon looks over her shoulder at her father for permission who just shrugs in a ‘might as well’ manner. 

“Sure!” She didn’t look sure. Though it might be more accurate to say she looked confused. Why was Link bringing a stranger into the house?? 

Link, waving the stranger down, turns and leads him into the house. The stranger looks unsure, but follows behind him anyway.  Link spares another glance at the gilded sword. His sword. Much like himself, she has been broken and reforged many times. Hopefully, this will be the last, for both of them.

Ways Ghost describes himself in the comics

He describes his pre-Ghost/Robas life as being built upon "Discipline, precision, control". I definitely still see remnants of that in Ghost, even if his PTSD has made it less of a guarantee.

After his family's murder/faking his death, he describes himself as "a dead man (with a mission)".

Before settling on "Ghost", he workshopped called himself "Death" (and Robas referred to him as Mr. Death).

He also (post-family massacre) calls himself "a high-functioning wreck". I think this is very telling.

But he starts moving onto Ghost pretty soon.

[shouchan11]

Thinking about how Curly's greatest fear of stagnation came true. At the edge of a bridge with his feet stuck in cement. Not wanting his life being something he had to escape. Pain is how we know we're still living- he hasn't died yet and hasn't gone to heaven or hell, stuck in purgatory as he's not sure which one he belongs in. Up or down? The ladder imagery- is he going up or down? How blessed are those with a voice. Even by the end of the game he remains unresolved, not living or dying, but frozen in time.

The new banner 👌✨

Is it based on another game or smth? Bcuz it looks great! Love their clothes and how smug and evil they look :] (also didn't miss the little detail of Vio's earring and Blue's ring, you did that on purpose didn't you XD) 💜💙
