lapsus memoriae

Words: 372 Rating: G Alkaid McGrath & Little Painter (MC), mentions of Tammy McGrath and Prefect Crimson Post-End Time, Main Story Spoilers.

You are forgetting something.

Which didn’t sound right. You remember your childhood. You remember your primary school. You remember your mother, who treated you with unwavering love and care. And once your mother was gone, you remembered Cael, who dutifully looked after you without complaint.

And your father. He died when you were young, so it made sense you couldn’t remember him. Not even his face.

Right?

You never thought much of your life. You were just a normal girl, albeit, a normal girl with a somewhat unusual situation… but, wasn’t that the case for most orphans?

You are forgetting something. It’s at the tip of your tongue. And you are not the only one.

Alkaid’s life was far from usual. While most envied his upbring, he found that the rose of privilege often came with thorns.

He is forgetting something.

Which didn’t sound right either. He remembers his mother. He remembers his father. They weren’t around much, but that’s because they were busy. And he accepted that. He had to accept that. Gentle smiles and small pleasantries kept prying eyes off his back. And he never faltered.

But he is forgetting something.

He is a man of science; he didn’t believe in anything that lacked evidence… to him, seeing was believing.

But, all the same, there were limits to the human mind: something that couldn’t be believed in or seen could very well exist. Even if it was dangerous. In that case, wouldn’t forgetting be ignorant bliss?

Maybe.

Memories made people who they were. Was robbing someone of that stealing a fragment of their soul?

Or was it humane to seal away dangerous truths?

The truth seared, and the truth burned. It freed you, and yet, it latched you into place.

The truth was dangerous, but it made you whole.

All there was to blame were the ghosts of the past. But, while your ghost was dead, his ghost was alive. Alive, and staring him right in the eyes. A kind woman, people said. One who was the splitting image of him. Green eyes stared into green.

Did she feel guilt?

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

He is forgetting something. And he is not the only one.

i felt compelled to make more of these

Based on getting my first huggy bear from the timer today…

is this something

[ars-luminary]

mc snapping at scholar (essentially... kinda alkaid but with both deerkaid and modern alkaid's memories) when she sees him again in her dream

and while it's directed at scholar and each alkaid she's met, it's so obviously frustration primarily targeted at modern alkaid - her boyfriend in this timeline. so seeing this frustration finally get properly addressed to modern alkaid himself, albeit in a much more kind and well thought out manner?

I'M EMOTIONAL, OKAY?

every time someone insists alkaid is a yandere an angel loses its wings

edit to this post because i wrote that essay i mentioned in the tags.

it gets me so pressed because alkaid's whole deal is that he ISN'T some generic yandere. he doesn't want control over mc and he doesn't take pleasure from her losing all agency. alkaid's flaws tend to originate from anxiety and a sincere desire to protect. but one of alkaid's most notable traits is an emphasized importance of one's own freedom. his desire to protect and his desire to ensure mc's freedom conflict - but his respect for her own agency and freedom will always outweigh his desire to protect, even if he doesn't realize it.

alkaid (all of them, deep down imo) would rather rob himself of his own freedom if it ensures mc gets to live with no chains. that's the whole POINT. any story beat where an alkaid tries to control her has some sort of context or nuance where it shows this ISN'T what he wants, and that he's miserable. because that's the POINT. this ISN'T who he is.

godheim!alkaid chains himself to his own sins to ensure mc flies free from her cage. eden!alkaid breaks free of prefect luminary's control because of how wrong it feels to control mc. spirit world!alkaid willingly ends his own life and his own spirit to ensure mc lives. puppet!alkaid turns himself into a puppet locked in a house simply to stay immortal with her and despite being terrified of her leaving him, he wants her to leave and be free regardless.

modern!alkaid is literally horrified of the bad future he sees where he is lying to mc. awakening!alkaid willingly weighs himself down with his own sins to ensure that burden is taken off mc. and even then, modern!alkaid is horrified by his dishonesty and inability to take mc's opinions into consideration.

And Yes, This Whole Topic Includes Prefect Luminary.

pl has had empire dogma beaten into him since he was a child. control is key. but deep down, this ISN'T what pl wants. pl's whole deal is literally how his environment (or his "nurture") is completely at odds with his own nature as an alkaid.

"alkaid is a yandere" can we PLEASE have nuance. alkaid's plots tend to discuss where to draw the line between protection and freedom, and how whenever he toes the line too far into protection, and into control, he's fucking miserable and always learns to regret it. that is the POOOINT.
