#Where Night Is Blind

WIP Wednesday - New HuaLian AU
Chapter 1 - Prologue
Yin Yu’s job was far from easy. Being a senior member of the stage crew for a prestigious playhouse was enough on its own, with long hours and physically demanding work. But it was the “extra” job that often drove him to his wits end, though he would be the first to deny it and the last to show it. 
He did not realize when he volunteered to be assistant production manager that the job would transcend even unorthodox theater hours. Nor did he realize that it meant running errands for the production manager. 
Thankfully, after years of servitude, Yin Yu was quite good at it. 
He knew which papers to pick up on Mondays, which bakery resold their Sunday pastries at a discount, and that if he actually wanted to have a seat for his hour commute he had to get to the bus stop early. He knew which keys of many on his keyring unlocked the playhouse gate, the front door, and the front office. He could disarm the front house alarm in his sleep. His Monday morning routine was pleasant, albeit predictable. 
After he sat down the bag of pastries and drinks - a plain, hot black tea for himself and a cardamom coffee for his boss - he would begin sifting through the mail, sorting into piles based on addressee. The majority would be distributed by the office staff, but Yin Yu always handled the production and stage crews' mail. Usually the pile would yield nothing but junk, but today proved different. 
A single letter addressed to his boss on the playhouse owner’s unique letterhead. 
Yin Yu scooped up the pastries and drink tray and tucked the letter under his arm. His boss was fortunately always at the playhouse. It was just a matter of finding him. 
Like Yin Yu, though, Hua Cheng had his own Monday morning routine. And Yin Yu knew just where to find him.

Good morning what are the movies or tv shows that traumatized you as a kid mine are the BBC production of A Christmas Carol and a handful of David Suchet Poirot episodes
#my dad always thought if something was well done it was appropriate for children#so we never watched the silly little kid version of things. The muppet Christmas Carol? My dad would N E V E R#anyway a Christmas Carol ruined Christmas for me for YEARS#i hated to think about it#and poirot was just. traumatizing#there’s one called murder on the links which involved a golf course at night which is one of the most terrifying locations I can imagine#also there’s one called death in the clouds#and poirot uncovers the murder because there are two spoons on the dead lady’s tray of airplane food#and the way he says ‘he picks up a spoon giving him the task of a waiter to carry out’#when explaining the murder at the end to this DAY sends chills up my spine#I know this is very obvious but the thing about fear is that it isn’t about logic or reason but it is about revelation#it’s like the flip side of moments of good and happy insight#at least for me#what terrifies me is a moment where some kind of evil is revealed in a blinding FLASH#a motive or (I guess) a ghost#and there is this presence of some malevolent entity underneath the reality of things#and something about it being SEEN almost more than it existing#is so scary. Like I.#Poirot uncovering the murder and describing it with such studied fascinated careful attention#pulling back the layers of a blind of one kind or another#shakes me to. my. CORE.#and it’s all so visual and instinctive. it’s one tiny little moment that doesn’t fit suddenly pulling back the curtain of reality#with such terrifying abruptness#makes me want to sit down and cry like a baby#the knowledge of evil doesn’t scare me. as in it doesn’t elicit an emotional/physical reaction of fear#but seeing it in embodied action. again. where it’s some tiny ordinary little detail suddenly ripping reality as you know it to shreds#the surprise of it. the recalibration it demands#I !!!!!!!!! Get so afraid

IDK if I'm phrasing this correctly, but in my brain, Vasco is, like, the personification (caninification?) of an afternoon chilling on a back porch swing.
.
#ah#that's adorable#I can totally imagine him doing that#answered#anonymous#Vasco#to me he usually conjures the feeling of being warmed by sunlight#winters in northern Finland where I'm from tend to be pretty rough at least for me they are#they last about six months or so#sun starts to set earlier and earlier until it gets dark before 2 pm#in december the sun barely rises at all it's like this brief moment of twilight at noon between two 22+ hour nights#it gets harder to wake up in the morning and your energy levels plummet you go into battery saving mode#polar night messes up your brain seasonal depression gets really bad#and the cold and dark goes on and on and you feel like you'll never feel warm or happy or properly awake again#but eventually it starts to veer towards spring and on one day you notice that the sun is shining??!?!#not like bleakly and weakly but proper sunlight with warm hue and capability to actually warm the things it touches#you've forgotten what it looks like when it's truly light outside#and it's the craziest feeling to see bright natural light it blinds you and pierces right through into your very core#being kissed by the sun for the first time in months feels unreal it feels SO GOOD#I don't know it's probably not that big of a deal for people around me#but I personally react to things like changes in temperature and the amount of daylight pretty massively#I like to think that Vasco is a first ray of sunlight hitting you after you've spent what feels like an eternity in someplace cold and dark

so i was looking at the NATM2 poster because why not and i just realized:
they got Jedediah on a horse, which, okay, cool, love that for him, but then they have Octavius just standing really... stiffly? without his then-new canonical pet squirrel? and now i'm wondering why they gave Jedediah his horse but not Octavius his beloved pet squirrel.

Give Octavius his god damn squirrel.

the black bastard & the stormborn (daredevil and elektra au) ✩
you desperately want to belong somewhere, with someone, which is the real reason why you sneak into fancy parties... you know what your problem is? you're pretty, you even work the blind thing, but you're dumb.
is it good? this uh... life as a queen. it's fantastic. but i would trade it all in for a lifetime of smelling your skin.
there is always this glorious darkness inside of you, the blood of the dragon and the wolf. that's why i took you to petyr baelish, and yes it's why i loved you, that's why you loved me too. don't deny what we have.
i want to know how you found me. i know who you are because lord bloodraven trains me in his visions. i saw you beat down the bolton bastard. i wear a mask. well, you can't mask that ass. i'd know it anywhere.
so, what if... from now on... if we make it... wherever you run, i run with you? you're not serious. i've never been more serious. this... dany, this is a part of me that i need. and you're the only one who gets it. without this, i'm not alive. i'm not. not really. i don't know what we are together, and if we have any chance in the future... but i do know that i'm free with you. like with no one else.
HAPPY NEW YEARS (BIRTHDAY) SOFI ♥
#daenerys targaryen#jon snow#jonerys#matt x elektra#daredevil#okay so here is the au 🫴#maester aemon adopts dany from essos after her family dies to make a home with her at the wall#the proximity to bloodraven (stick) allows him to communicate and train her for the war for the dawn#he tasks her with recruiting the one remaining targaryen in westeros and she falls in love with him while pursuing and seducing him#jump to jonny#who was blinded in an accident while saving robb when he was younger#which caused his greenseeing and warg senses to be heightened#after the death of his father catelyn sends him to the wall where he too is connected with bloodraven#dany and jon become friends at the wall#dany as aemon's steward has authority to get up to stuff and be cute at the wall#which includes roping her nephew into shenanigans sometimes shirtless#even though he is a baby nights watch recruit#the roscoe sweeny incident in this case is petyr baelish bc he was responsible for ned's death duh#but you have to suspend your disbelief for a second bc lbr#jon would have no problems killing baelish pre- or post-resurrection#dany disappears from the wall while jon proceeds with his acok timeline#during which time he adopts the vigilante identity 'the black bastard'#to search for his uncle and fight wildling rayders and keep his own men in line during the night and practice warging ghost#ik so far it seems like i've attributed matt to jon and elektra to dany entirely but realistically they're a mesh of both characters#don't think this au is as simple as 'dany dark targaryen seducing jonorable jon stark' no that is boring#aka it's jon who is the black sky (black bastard hello) who will die and be resurrected#HE is the one who will curl up in dany's bed as he regains memory of her#'the stormborn' is supposed to be a play on the electric part of elektra 😭#i love you sofi <3#my gifs

one hokma line that always really stuck w me was "when i no longer feared the impending night, i chose to love this place" theres just something so poignant about it. at first i was wondering what day he meant but now i realise he's most definitely talking about how he has to die every reset. and he said he used to fear it too. how could he not? he was most loyal to a, but now he's the last one running away from him. he couldn't stand being a part of his self-destructive plan anymore. and feared in past tense implied he always knew it was coming with each reset. this went on for... thousands of years
with how he keeps his memories for every one of them, sometimes i wonder how he reacts to angela. do you think he quickly got used to it and just sat there waiting for her? pre-suppression its pretty clear that hokma has resigned himself to this and is completely fine doing it over and over again. he chose to love that place because it was the only thing he could really do. its what his mentor wanted and when has he ever gone against that?

"Can Roxy stay with us, dad? At least for a little while?"
⚠ WARNING: (SOME) FNAF RUIN SPOILERS BELOW: ⚠
since cassie mentions her dad has something similar to the faz-wrench, so i've come to the conclusion that he may be a tech / mechanic at the pizzaplex! roxy implies that cassie had come to the pizzaplex for two birthdays, so employee discount maybe? if fazbear entertainment believes in such things? anyway, this takes place after the normal / elevator ending, where we hear roxy calling for cassie after her fall. cassie survives, albeit a bit banged up, so roxy resurfaces with her and once the girl regains consciousness, she successfully persuades roxy to come home with her. roxy is hesitant to venture outside, but agrees, and the two arrive at cassie's house to be greeted by her worried father.
cassie explains everything that happened, and roxy fills in what she knows. while cassie's dad is angry that his daughter went into the abandoned plex alone, he is grateful for roxy protecting her and is just relieved that his daughter is safe. though it takes some time and elbow grease, he manages to fix roxy with what resources he has, and provides shelter for her while he can think about what action to take next. cassie and roxy have no protests against this, so the roomie arrangement is a happy one :) cassie has her favorite character bunking with her and roxy is no longer under the effects of the mimic and knows she's safe!
listen guys, i promise this isn't bias talking, but roxanne (and it HAS to be roxanne, not the mimic, because there is NO WAY the bastard made it down that far that fast) surviving and looking for cassie in the normal ending HAS to have some narrative significance, either in the games or tales from the pizzaplex books. i love these girls and want them to have more shining moments 💚💜

I should make a photo set so I stop taking doll photos in front of my like… pills and drinks and stuff. But I got a sweet little slumber party blind box and pulled a Taro Doll.
I am becoming obsessed with these adorable little babs. I think I might have to get into the 1:12 BJD scene. These are just too freaking cute. And all the best props and dollhouse accessories are 1:12 scale too…

the scene in yakuza 5 where shinada and milky dance on the roof talking about how they should run away and start over in a new town with new jobs and new lives, only for milky to abruptly stop and let shinada go when she gets called back downstairs to work, while shinada is sent stumbling by suddenly being let go until he too comes to a stop, burns a hole in my brain
#rambles#yakuza#yakuza liveblogging#like man. MAN. that shit hits home#milky saying 'i wanna be a teacher this time- that was my dream as a kid!'#and shinada replying 'you can! nothings stopping you! you can start over!' with a tone that borders on hysterical#he's so desperate to believe it's possible because in that moment he can see it- he sees his way out#for a moment he's blind to all the things that have kept him from doing exactly what he's proposing every other time he's considered it#hes trapped in a glass house- he can see freedom but knows he cant reach it. but for a moment he lets himself forget the glass is there#but milky doesnt. she thinks hes being cute and plays along but as soon as she lets him go the music cuts and the moment is gone.#reality comes crashing back down- they're not going anywhere.#and i mean. idk if this is a common/universal experience but ive had many a late night where ive done exactly the same thing#fantasized about quitting my job/going back to school/finding some means of self employment/moving somewhere totally new#and ive had those fleeting moments where i could see it- i could see how i could make it work#or i could see that there's nothing *physically* stopping me from doing any of those things#and if i could just sum up enough courage i could do anything i wanted with my life#but then i wake up the next day and that vision is gone.#i cant see outside the glass house anymore- i can only see the reflection of the inside.#tl;dr i should revisit y5- the writers were cooking and i didnt take enough time to savor it#(esp not the shinada section bc i hated his combat style lol)
