Okay but the way we ALWAYS expect bitterness that isn't there with Desert Duo?
Sure, they snark about each other, but half the time they're giggling while they do it. Sure, they turn on each other, but always with an undertone of understanding. Sure, they avoid- narrowly miss, moreso- each other, but always linger in each others peripheral.
We expected Grian not to ask to team.
We expected Scar not to want to team.
Instead, Grian asked to be partners again. And Scar- he didn't even really say no- ran away only because he HAD to.
We keep expecting some long term fallout, some genuine rejection, some bitterness, but Grian wanted to team, and Scar wanted to say yes, and if it weren't for the eyes on Scar telling him don't, they would have.
Because they aren't angry. They're barely even bitter. Their internal compasses lead back to each other, always. And when they're apart, it's because the game pulls them apart, always.
Why do you think on Hermitcraft- free from the eyes of the cruel death game they sometimes find themselves in- they so unabashedly cling to each other in every moment they can?
fitpac in the barbie house going “yeaaaah yeaaaah you know what I’m talking about you know you know” and trying to see if the other can guess where the “more secret place” is and laughing when they both guessed right. they r so in love
c!tommy wakes up, unable to catch his breath, every scar on his skin searing with pain. Every one. Every part of him aches so bad it feels like it's burning. He's not in exile anymore. Every morning it feels like he has the pleasure of reliving it.
Everytime someone drags their hands through his wings, or plays with his hair, their hands take on the shape of one's too familiar. The panic catches in his throat, knowing its irrational, but not being able to stop himself from double checking. It makes him feel sick, knowing how cDream's touch has tainted him. So much of him, ruined, scarred, broken. He misses when the bandana at his neck didn't feel like a collar: being tugged on, choking him.
He misses when struggling didn't feel like drowning. He misses when healing didn't feel like a betrayal.
He misses Wilbur, and her stupid coat and stupidly warm arms that would hold him. He misses that safety, even if it never was quite safe.
Wilbur was safe the way two guns pointing at eachother was safe. Dream was safe in the way he had a gun pointed to your head, but promised it would be gentle and quick.
Tommy wonders if he really deserved it, spending hours in church prime, praying and begging at carefully constructed alters to gods who have abandoned him .
tubbo has introduced me to what is called Lotion. and Apparently APPARENTLY!! it's this slimy weird gunk you slap on your hands n shit so they don't bleed when it's cold and so your hands are Baby Soft but I don't get that because no babys I've met are soft. they're always Furry. going to ask WilBur if I was a soft baby but I think I was a HARD BABY!!! HARD AS NAILS!!!!!! CAN SUEVIVE ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!! and I'm sure I wasn't a pussy who needed Lotion
My (~28M?) mother died giving birth to me on a rogue ship at sea. For much of my childhood, my father who loved her dearly has blamed me for her death.
I was thrown off the ship for disobeying the captain when I was a teenager (read: I made a friend with the ship's prisoner who was the first person around my age that I interacted with… basically most of my life, and he didn't like that), and have since found a new home and a surrogate family.
However, recently, I came into contact again with a guy (21M) who used to also be on that rogue ship, whose behaviour and attitude reminds me of that captain. We and some others were also recently trapped in a nightmare realm by a couple of evil wizards and I heard some weird whispers that blamed me further and said my parents regretted having me at all. (Don't worry, we all got out.)
All these recent events have been weighing on me, and I'm starting to be afraid that my father and the whispers were right. AITA?
It seems that a core philosophy driving ksmp!Ivory's actions is 'violence is justified if it prevents a greater amount of violence'.
It's why she killed the corrupted council in her backstory, why she's hunting down the killer of the Nether commune, why she threatened to kill Pyro if they ever murder any more unarmed people, and why she wanted to kill Kab for endangering the community.
Ivory has a genuine desire to be a good person with a positive impact on the world, but she has a pretty warped idea of how to achieve that, and she tends to act on rash judgment. This leads to her sometimes doing things that are downright cruel, though there are times where she successfully shows kindness.
Suddenly a man in a white shirt and blue jeans shows up, he's bruised a burned, carrying a first aid kit. He gives a Val a knowing look. "Officer Shinmigami, those look like some serious injuries there, here let me patch you." he pulls out a bandage roll, and some disinfectant spray and begins tending to Val's injuries /rp
"E-!" Valerie initially jolts, jerking away from the man as if startled, "Hey! Hands off, you-... Oh, wait, it's just you..." She then sighs, turning away from De- sorry, Kai, and crossing her arms, "Hmph, I'm just fine, thank you very much. If anything, I think you should be patching yourself up first."
