“Good morning, Your Honor.” Martin greets, smiling, as he enters the office at exactly 8 AM.

Even though he’d been assistant to Citizen Brown for four months, there was no excuse for getting lazy. He’s not about to break his perfect streak of no demerits now.

However, when @doctorbrown turns around, gaping at him like he’d grown two extra heads, he falters.

“…Your Honor?” he tries. “Sir?”

Ok, so.

After the Gaea war, Nico disappeared. Like, straight-up vanishing, gone without a trace, soundless like a shadow, all of that. 

Even Hazel was clueless. Hades didn’t answer any of her calls, silent as ever. You’d think after everything Nico had done, the god would at least care for his son’s wellbeing.

And then one day, they found him again. Jason, in one of his expeditions to Italy - to be exact.

But Nico didn’t remember them.

None of them. Not Jason, not Hazel and certainly not Percy. In fact, Nico remembered nothing about demigods and all that crap. He thought Jason was a kidnapper and later a mental patient with how he tried to talk “mythology” and “Greek gods” to him. 

It turned out that Nico had been living a life - a peaceful, undisturbing, godless, mortal-like one - in the other side of the ocean, all this time. He was alone, but there didn’t seem to be any difficulty for this new, simple life of his to go on. 

They tested his memories only to come up empty handed. It was almost like his memories had been wiped out, again.

Then, they tried to bring them back to him. There was a lot of shouting, convincing, lasting out, backpedaling, triggering, crying, begging, forgiving, frustration, desperation, hurt and anger and everything in between. It was a mess. And they still didn’t know why he became like this. 

It was only until when Nico had fully gained back his memories that it turned out Hades had something to do with this.

They went to confront him, then, only to be met with a devastated Underworld and a weakened, paralyzed, suffering Hades.

Persephone told them he had been like this since the end of Gaea war. Even she didn’t know why.

Nico did, though, because he had been there. On the verge of unconsciousness, but still very much there.

He remembered now - the vow he had forced out of his father in despair: a painless ending, a restful slumber; the coldness of Hades’ arms on his skin, cradling him against his chest like he used to do back on Venice’s fondamente; the looming figure of a woman - Styx - much, much scarier and greater than the Underworld itself, reaching out for his father’s essence. Then the world had disappeared behind his father’s hands and everything had been bleached white so fast he couldn’t remember the darkness.

Nico held onto his father’s hand, tears on his face, whispering like he often did to those close to death. “You broke your promise.” 

No, Hades had never been one to brake his promises. 

But he had never loved a son that much, either.

🥀🍯 EXPLANATION FOR THE RECENT BOUT OF INACTIVITY HERE ! hello, everyone 🌷 I hope you’re have a wonderful day ! yes, I know I don’t really have to explain any silence here, but I do feel comfortable providing some reason from time to time, since the lack of activity here isn’t actually because of a lack of muse 🤔 I’ve had PLENTY of muse for Ari & am eager to get back to writing here ! 🌼however … as you may have heard when I mentioned it a few weeks back, I recently started a new job. it’s real lovely & I thoroughly enjoy every minute spent there—I’m real lucky to have found such a place in RETAIL !—however … the hours are not like the ones at my old job, which were far more … suitable ? 👀

I’ve shared here many a time before that the best time for me to write is in the early, early morning, but this job has me walking out of there at, like, 10pm some nights, which really isn’t conducive to waking up early 😭 before I could adjust my availability, however, I had to kind of … settle into the job. I think that might have finally happened ! 🙏🌿

so yes … that’s my rather anti - climatic reasoning behind the lack of writing lately. I’ll be submitting my updated availability today, so hopefully within the next couple of weeks, things will start to change & I can get my writing rhythm back !  😊

as always, thank you all so very, very much for your endless support & interest here 🍄 it means the world to me that people still want to interact with Ari despite my slowness ! I hope to be here much more soon 💐

me when i add ne.ss aka matp.at's cameo character from the movie on here

[abyssembraced]

Okay, so! I have:

Changed the url of the blog (scale-tippers -> abyssembraced)

Changed the colour scheme of the blog (though it's still somewhat subject to change)

Updated the avatar to reflect the new colour scheme (though it's still temporary until I draw a nicer one)

Removed my old promo as my pinned post due to it being outdated (a temporary pinned post with links and stuff will be up in a sec; a new promo will come eventually, probably once I finish writing Rouxls' bio page)

Archived (dropped) Ryunosuke and Robin as muses for the time being.

[hoshiszora-archived]

Childe and Hyousuke shake hands on being considered nuisances in Teyvat in which they both make their debut who knows where and then fight people.

       today is a day where i just get very mushy thinking about my longest rp partnerships / friendships here and how we’ve all been in each other’s lives for nearly a decade in some cases, which is truly kinda wild when you think about it dfgdjfgd
