Silence is golden V.2.0

Ah yes, a whole sleepless night is the perfect time to rewrite a scenario! I see no issues or flaws in this logic.

In all seriousness tho, I’ve kinda been wanting to go back and rewrite some of my older works that just. Embarrass me to look back on. And, while this one wasn’t exactly EMBARRASSING, I also wasn’t super duper proud of the itty bitty, rushed three paragraphs I put out the first time. I still don’t know much about the kyoto trip, but I wanted to try my hand again at injecting some life into this idea and not copping out as much lol. Hope it’s an improvement~

Kyoto was a beautiful place with plenty of places to visit. Minato knew that first hand, as Junpei had spent the first two days of their stay in the gorgeous place. So, for the first night, Minato had crashed the second he’d been allowed to lay his head on his pillow for the evening. But, on this night, after another full day of being drug around and pulled every which way by his friends, Minato was simply too wound up to crash that way a second time.

So, with Akihiko’s snores in the air, and Aigis’ permission to risk an encounter with Ryoji in the hotsprings, the wildcard trudged into the men’s locker room to strip down for a dip. Which, was where he spotted the first signs of possible company in the hot springs in the form of a cubby with the privacy curtain pulled shut. Fuck it. If it’s a girl, she can see me naked. I need a god damned soak.

With that, the blue-haired man stepped out into the steam-warmed air of the dark night. The gentle clouds of steam on top of the pool created by the clash of cool, crisp winter air with the hot water that almost melted Minato’s muscles into butter as soon as he slipped a foot into it. It was peaceful. The whole setting was blissfully peaceful. With no well-intentioned best friends to talk his ear off, no Aigis to loom over him like a hawk on the look out for her nemesis, and no hyper-active brunettes to yap at him for affection. Minato could simply soak in the warm water and let the miles he’d walked wash away.

At least, that’s what the shaggy-haired man thought for the first five or so minutes of his soak. But, after that, something began to feel off. So, he lifted his head to scan over the misty pool and the fencing and bushes that lined the tastefully rock-decorated space.

There.

With his back against the large rock in the middle of the water, someone wasactually in the water with him. Barely above the surface of the water and nearly hidden by the combination of moonlit shadows and steam, was Ryoji Mochizuki. The ever popular transfer student who the wildcard had last seen with a gaggle of girls chasing him through out Kyoto. Though, now that their classmates weren’t around, and only the round moon was there to play witness, the gorgeous brunette looked...exhausted.

His full, round face was usually aglow with a constant, golden retriever-esque happiness that shone from his vibrant sapphire eyes at all times. Yet, as he sat, sunk deep enough into the hot spring water that only his eyes and nose were shown, that lively energy seemed to have drained into the water. His blue eyes looked dull with the dark bags beneath them, even from Minato’s distance, and his skin, always teetering into a nocturnal paleness, seemed almost sickly in the silver light of the moon.

Should I say hi to him? Make sure he’s not about to drown? Minato asked himself as he watched the pretty man soak. But, when Ryoji’s tired eyes met his own, he instantly decided against it.

Ryoji looked like he’d been run over by a semi-truck. The weight of his extroversion having somehow squeezed every last drop of the energetic man’s social battery from him more aggressively than Junpei had managed with Minato’s own battery. Though, both seemed to recognize their mutual social exhaustion. So, neither said a word. They both simply let the warm water of the hotspring melt away their troubles in silence. Peaceful, glorious silence.

Somebody mentioned in a tag on one of my posts the scene where Marco Animorphs is showering after antmageddon and he finds an ant stuck to his hip by the pincers where it presumably was trying to bite him in half when he was an ant and then it died from him becoming very big very fast and I feel like that scene, and the scene where Cassie finds a sliver of a sentient person’s flesh between her teeth while she’s flossing and then flosses until her gums bleed, really deserve recognition in the literary canon. Applegate deserves an award. There should be a TV Trope named after whatever the fuck that is. Like fridge horror but diegetic. Bathroom horror. Your bedtime bathroom routine as an opportunity for personal confrontation with the violent detritus of the dead which lingers in and on your body even after you have ostensibly stripped yourself of weapons and healed over all your wounds.

Ik you went into the whole stupid "nonbenders are oppressed" thing in lok in one of the asks I sent you, but it keeps on making me think about how much I wish i got to see mako and bolin's mixed earth kingdom fire nation heritage play a role in the story. Maybe if lok had the themes of atla it could go into how the two are treated differently for Mako looking more fire nation and bolin looking more earth kingdom. I think it'd be interesting if Korra keeps on hearing Amon's followers yell on the streets about how benders oppress everyone but then notice how Bolin gets treated significantly better when he pretends to be a non-bender fire national/lean into his fire nation heritage by ignoring his bending compared to when he is openly an earthbender which directly ties him to his earth kingdom heritage.

right!!! i am literally always saying this. like it’s sooo weird how lok does not understand what it means to be mixed in any meaningful capacity. neither with the kataangs nor with mako and bolin, they’re each just largely tied to the element they bend with no consideration given to the other half of their heritage. bumi doesn’t consider himself an air nomad until he magically gains airbending, despite his father literally being the only air nomad currently in existence. instead of trying to preserve his familial heritage, he completely undermines all of aang and katara’s cultural values and joins the fucking military. kya doesn’t seem to give a shit about air nomad culture either, seeing as she doesn’t even know guru laghima’s name (and he’s the wisest air nomad who ever lived!). despite apparently being an independent free spirit who values her freedom, she seems 100% affiliated with her mother’s heritage, because waterbender. even though the values of community and tradition kind of conflict with her whole “you can’t tie me down” attitude, so. um. and they never once explore how the value of, for example, hunting as an important cultural tradition in the water tribes may conflict with the value of vegetarianism and doing no harm to any living organism. these are interesting tensions that could have been explored!! but instead, tenzin is merely an air nomad who takes after his father both culturally and physically, kya is a waterbender who takes after her mother, and bumi is a…..cosmopolitan, and nobody likes him.

as for mako and bolin, they don’t even get the privilege of being the children of the avatar and the chief of the southern water tribe (i said what i said), so being mixed race in the neocolonial cesspit that is republic city would be bound to cause some tensions. but instead of actually addressing what the ramifications and complex colonial dynamics of inter/multiracial family structures in a postwar society that is nonetheless still struggling to contend with a century’s worth of global imperialism and the lingering trauma of that violence would be, they kind of just….ignore it. yes, mako is a firebender who takes after his fire nation mother, and bolin is an earthbender who takes after his earth kingdom father, and they live in a city that was once earth kingdom land that now functions as a neocolony of the fire nation, but also, the police force are all earthbenders, and there isn’t any sort of lingering racial/colonial tensions in this city whatsoever! you know how mako and bolin were orphaned as children and forced to live on the street and dumpster dive for food and eventually did labor for a gang because they had no other means of survival? are we going to question or implicate the systems that enabled those abject conditions? no, of course not. look at mako fumble two gorgeous, ridiculously privileged girls! look at bolin do the charleston! isn’t republic city FUN???

[ladyrijus]

me: what if we subverted the imperialism trope with zelda realizing that rauru is the aggressor in the equation because 100 years is not enough time to wash away her diplomatic skills and she just knows that the gerudo people would not be hostile if not for a justifiable reason. sure, it takes a while for her to gain ganondorf's trust just based on her association with rauru and sonia, but he does end up trusting her somewhere down the line and fills her in on what's happening. she's absolutely horrified. as a result, she works alongside ganondorf to seal away rauru by gathering the sages and convincing them to protect their respective domains from conquest. but here's the twist: what if link still gets mentored by rauru's spirit at the beginning, and thinks rauru is a benevolent king? imagine zelda's last words to him in the final memory, nothing but a frenzied "link, do not trust the king of darkness!" but he doesn't know which king: ganondorf or rauru, because the gloom has corrupted ganondorf's body and rauru, who had unsettled him since the beginning. but then he realizes it's rauru, and it's deliciously ironic since rauru's power is light but as always, every light has a shadow.

[kumezyzo]

corpse x faceless streamer cause it has more plot...

anyway, enjoy! or dont :) m.list

as cliche and over-used as it is, you met bf!corpse in an among us lobby. but you two had heard of eachother before, seeing as youre in the same faceless community.

your followings seemed to have a lot of crossover, so when you met, it was a dream come true for your communites. and for you two, it was nice having someone understand what it was like to be faceless.

overtime, you two grew closer, hanging out outside of streams. and at some point, you got comfortable enough eachothers faces.

when your chat found out, it became the only thing they could talk about for a good two days on twitter.

"guys, corpse looks really cool," you said to your chat. you and corpse were streaming on your channel, just talking and catching up. his scoff made you giggle quietly. "im not joking, he's kinda... attractive."

"and yn looks nothing like how she described herself," he said, laughing at how much prettier he thought you were.

"and his hair is actually curly," you say.

then, you both went on anthony padilla's channel as a part of his 'I spent a day with...' series. and you revealed that you were doing the interview on the same day.

"i mean, corpse is the only other youtuber that knows what i look like," you state simply. "if im honest, the main reason im here is because this is the first time im meeting up with him in person."

thankfully, no one was suprised when they heard that in the video. but thats just because corpse posted a video of you two playing rock-paper-scissors.

it started off silent, you two doing the motions silently. corpse played scissors, you played rock. he sighed. another up and down motion. he played scissors, you played paper. you took a deep breath. another up and down. he played rock, you played rock. you scoffed and cracked your knuckles. one more time. he played paper, you played scissors.

"fuck!" he yelled loudly as you laughed manaically in the background.

during this meet up, you stayed at his apartment. and it just so happened you got to spend more time with him. slowly, you both started developing further feelings for eachother.

it showed itself in you two being cuddly, touchy with eachother. both of you tiptoeing round the topic of the weird dynamic. neither of you actually choosing to say anything or admit your feelings.

it really set in when he started unironically calling you "baby". it gave you butterflies and he felt his face heat up as the words left his mouth.

and when you had to leave, it was far more intense than you had expected.

"thank you for letting me stay here," you told him greatfully. he smiled softly at you, going in for a hug. you smiled and felt yourself melt into his arms.

you two pulled away briefly, looking into eachothers eyes. you dont know when it really happened, but the next moment, youre lips are on eachothers.

when you went back home, it was like you two know you were dating. but you never actually said it. it just felt right.

this is kinda like a prequel to this beautiful shit. i also know no one requested this (or at least i could find one when i went to check cause this was in my notes for way too long) -Nony

[bonus-links]

So, the immediate question I have is did Wake lose an eye, or is he wearing an eye patch to preserve his night vision to better navigate in darkened ship's holds and dungeons?

he did lose an eye, the scar is in his ref! it's super super old, but I actually have a comic about this too! it was one of the first comics i made for bonus links (featuring a few old designs lol). I'll probably retread this info at some point in the main comic, but if you don't mind some spoilers, you can read it here
