#both romantically and platonically

W and MC give such soulmates vibe 😭 Patrocles (W) and Achilles (MC), which ironic considering my MC has dark hair and W has the blonde hair but I digress.

Even if I'm saying all this, please don't actually turn them into a Greek tragedy 😔

um haha, what do you meeaaannnn? i’m obviously not gonna do that, everything is going to be fine and dandy in the end 😄 trust in me and i won’t steer you wrong 🫡

but it’s funny that you mention patrocles and achilles with W because that’s the myth on how their character and route came to be. i gave them achilles’s looks and patrocles’s general melancholic disposition so it’s surprising to see someone clock that, even if it was unintentional.

hey here's my playlist for Jess and Lane if anyone's into that

[raineisnotreal]

I want to know all your favorite things

I want to learn who you really are and show you that I still love you and accept you for who you are

I want to make you feel welcome and accepted and loved for you

I want to know you, not the mask of who you pretend to be

I want to see all of you and hold you gently while I listen to you talk about your favorite things and tell you how much I love seeing you love them

I want to see all of you so I can tell you how much I love you, not just the you everyone knows

"you have the thing i love

but the need in me is way too much

if i open wide

one of us may get lost inside

me or you, one of us is going to need to die."

Date people who make you feel safe and saved.

Date people who will wield a sword to slay the monster devoring you every night, but never even pinch you.

Date people who make you feel holy and pure beneath all your filth and corruption.

Date people who light up the sun when it's raining in your head.

Jason's been pestering Danny about why he looks like a borderline walking corpse for ages and Danny has decided to put his lying skills to the test. (he has none)

rambling below cut

I've been playing w the idea that the more Danny transforms, the more his ghost form gets "lively" while his human form gets weaker and more sickly. He knows that if he keeps transforming like this then, one day, he's not going to have a livable body to go back to, but he really doesn't want to think about all that. He's more interested in the weird "totally dead but not dead" Wayne son who may or may not have a thing for his sister.

everytime i do one these im like "this time I'll keep it simple so I don't have to suffer through colouring bc I have zero foresight—it'll be greyscale at most" and then all of the sudden its 4am and i'm trying to finish a stupid comic but i decided to add "some" colour to spice it up and hide my shitty ink job and then SOME COLOUR ALWAYS BECOMES FULL COLOUR WHY CAN I NOT ESCAPE THIS STUPID CYCLE!!

(did this all stem from me not being able to decide between a super pale character design and one w a vibrant tan bc I love white hair + tan but I also love extremely pale albino so I forced myself to find a way to make both work? never! that's absurd!)

One guilty pleasure tag on AO3 that I only really seek out when reading buddie fics is the “non-sexual intimacy” tag cause like hell yeah make them mfs more codependent. Just makes sense with them. Like yeah they shower together sometimes because they think it’s more convenient, of course they go to eddies after their shifts and sleep in the same bed, they wouldn’t be weirded out if one of them initiated hand holding and it just becomes a thing for them, eddie hugging buck from the back and resting his chin on bucks shoulder so he can also see whatever buck is doing, Eddie is very much okay when buck is glued to him when they sit beside each other or when he rests his head on his lap when reading because buck is touch starved and if Eddie can help buck with that he will. There is just something about them doing all this and it not being sexual or them hiding their romantic feeling for each other and being stupid. It is just them and how they exist and to everyone else it’s weird but to them it’s just normal, they so easily accommodate each other and don’t think twice.

they have so much POTENTIAL

This episode really highlighted how close Marcille, Laios, and Chilchuck actually are.

The viewer is used to seeing our main characters behave like coworkers up to this point—even friends—and they express normal, understandable levels of concern and fear when their other party members are in danger. But when the nightmare attacked Marcille, it brought out sides of Laios and Chilchuck that the viewer hadn’t seen before.

Laios immediately notices when something is wrong with Marcille, and he tells the others as soon as he’s sure of the problem. Chilchuck and Senshi then follow Laios’ lead as it becomes clear that he intends to make her get some rest.

We see Chilchuck’s hands lay out the bedroll and Senshi’s hands set up the pillow, working in almost perfect tandem as Laios physically wrangles Marcille into bed.

Senshi is in a similar perspective as the viewer, and mostly sits and watches the ordeal unfold. He doesn’t have a shared history, like these three do, so he helps in little ways, but mostly waits on standby for direction.

From here on out, it’s mostly Laios and Chilchuck who take over in planning how to help her.

It’s uncommon for Chilchuck to openly show such distress and worry for one of his party members. He’s used to Marcille being able to defend herself; he’s used to her being capable and strong. He immediately defers to Laios for instruction, (rightly) assuming he will know what to do.

This actually produces a reaction close to real fear from Chilchuck, who outright SMACKS her in a panic to wake her up before getting any further information.

Laios has to quickly stop him, explaining that he could truly hurt her if he interrupts the attack this way. He tells them how he’s going to wake her, and he doesn’t hesitate. He jumps straight in, explaining what he’s doing for the others so that they (Chilchuck) won’t be afraid.

Chilchuck doesn’t question him once. He just does what he can to hurry along the process. He tucks Laios in with his blanket as soon as he lays onto Marcille—an unnecessary action that betrays how much he cares for both of them.

And Laios succeeds in helping Marcille out of the nightmare’s grasp. While trapped in her mind, he reassures her, protects her, tells her how much she’s valued and appreciated. He isn’t embarrassed or sheepish about it, either; he openly declares these things like it’s the most normal and obvious thing in the world.

He gets her out, he saves her. He did the exact thing he set out to do, even though he’d never done it before, and only had Falin’s secondhand information to work with.

Once he wakes, Chilchuck immediately checks on him to see if he’s alright. Chilchuck is clearly still rattled, displeased with having to wait while both of his close friends were unconscious, fighting a battle neither he nor Senshi could see or help with.

Marcille wakes up shortly after Laios, but Chilchuck is still on edge, worrying that she’ll fall back asleep. Laios, too, has a moment of alarm when he makes sure she won’t close her eyes again.

Once he takes the subdued nightmares out of Marcille’s pillow, only then do Laios and Chilchuck relax.

Laios, for his part, remained calm and collected almost the entire time. He did not show panic or fear when it became clear that Marcille was being attacked, nor when he told the rest of the party what he’d be doing to help her. And once the nightmares had been collected from her bedroll, he gently explained what happened, to everyone else’s horror.

Seeing this, it’s not a huge surprise that the Touden party is so successful. We’ve seen Laios handle danger with a level head; we know he’s capable.

But it’s an entirely different kind of talent to face a threat that’s targeting one of your closest friends—which can make even the most competent fighter sloppy out of fear of losing them—one that requires a high-risk, specific rescue style that none of you have ever tried before. And then pull it off flawlessly. Like damn, these guys are lucky to have him.
