Seeing an object and thinking of them + VashMeryl
Hi love, thank you so much for prompting and your continious support!
Also on AO3.
-
It's been a year, but every bit of red in the crowd still makes Meryl want to chase it down. She knows better than to act on it, but her eyes always follow it nonetheless, the surge of hope crashing violently into reality when it is not Vash. It can't be him, she knows. He'd have no reason to be here, even if he were alive. (He is, she corrects herself, more and more stubbornly with every passing month.)
The red haunts her dreams, too. Red coat in vast darkness that she can never reach. He walks too fast, then runs and finally - flies. Until the shadows explode and consume him and then her. After those dreams, Meryl stays after hours at Bernadelli's, digging through bare bone scraps of information until she feels like crying or screaming, or she lets the stream of people take her somewhere, anywhere until she is washed up to some street with tiny stores and tinier, packed restaurants that will never make it to a newspaper’s ad section, but the food will outshine any five star place.
These are the places where she ends up indulging her red longing. One time it is a hair pin with dainty red flowers much like the ones Vash loves. The soft sound the blossoms make brushing against each other brings music to her step. 
Month later, an auntie convinces her to try on a red lipstick that would not have left a smudge on his coat, that's how perfect the color match is in her mind's eye. 
Meryl looks unfamiliar and mature with it and she kind of likes it. Enough to buy it, though there is nowhere and no one to wear it for. She wonders if Vash would like the shade on her, if he'd say it suits her and his gaze would linger on her lips just a moment longer in a way that'd tie a warm, tingly knot in her chest. Knows he wouldn't. She wasn't - isn't - his type, if he has any at all. She is a friend at best, a nuisance at worst.
(She'd been bait, the reason he'd come to JuLai and yet, Meryl knows he'd have done it for anyone at all. And yet, it haunts her - that she'd been that random pebble thrown to start a rock slide.)
Those are purchases that Meryl can excuse, though. It is when she buys a red coat, far too large for herself, and lays it down on her bed that she breaks. She misses him and she is clinging to red like it's a thread that could bring him back to her by sheer wanting. She has to stop, but she can't, she has never known how to give up, because that's been like losing herself. And so she keeps the coat and on the worst nights, hugs it to her chest or drapes it over herself when she curls up in her bed and pretends it's Vash's. It's a bittersweet, layered cake of lies that she serves to herself again and again.
On the hollow days, when she feels all too alone, Meryl buys other things too - an assortment of lollipops in a colorful packaging, a pack of cigarettes that Roberto liked and another of a better brand than the cheap shit Wolfwood would usually smoke. Some day she'll leave them at the makeshift grave marker they made for her mentor, a little sign for the undertaker that she remembers and is waiting for him when his self-exile is over. Two heads are better than one, she knows he will realize it with time.
-
It's almost frightening how quickly things become a routine, that this is just their usual general store run now after half a year, though the far longer cultivated awareness and tension has not dulled. 
It is what makes Vash freeze mid-step when the blue catches his eye. It's such a deep, vivid shade that his heart does a pirouette before he realizes it's nothing less or more than a bottle of nail polish among other brand new, sparkling colors set on display. Still, he splits from Lina and goes over to inspect it, marveling at the pearly shimmer in the sunlight before the price tag makes him set it down with a sigh. 
It seems that most people in the town share the sentiment, because it waits for him there the next time they come to town and the next and the one after, too. Vash always stops to appreciate it with a wistful smile, thinking about the woman that this would suit perfectly. Until one time, it's gone from display and he hopes his disappointment isn't too apparent. 
Two weeks later, Lina and her grandmother surprise him with a small feast, announcing it's his 'birthday'. The day he'd woken up in their care, blissfully foggy and a mere shard of himself. It's nothing like the birthday he thinks of when he hears the word (a cake and red recording light and laughter of a family), but it's sweet and warm nonetheless. And when the evening is nearing bedtime, Lina pulls out a tiny bottle in an achingly familiar blue shade, a wide smile on her face.
"I saw you always looking at it. So I thought we could paint your nails, so you have somethin' nice every day."
He is moved to tears and doesn't even hide it.
When she is gently, carefully applying deep blue strokes of paint to his short, in some places cracked fingernails, Lina muses it must be his favorite color, since he's always drawn to it and he neither denies or confirms it. He's cut red out of his life, both to distance himself from the person he used to be and for feeling like he's failed the one who taught him to love it. But blue… blue he can indulge in when he finds it. 
The nail polish is called Serenity Blue and Vash thinks it couldn't be further and closer to the truth all at once, because so very little about Meryl herself had been calm. She was always in motion, her fingers tapping on the steering wheel or along the edge of her notebook, foot drawing lines in the sand absentmindedly when she leaned against the car waiting for them. Even in her sleep she would shift often, as if existence itself wasn't comfortable for her. 
And yet, Meryl poured peace into him, gently and thoroughly, in the evenings when she'd sit down next to him and let him talk about nothing and everything. Stars, ghost stories he'd picked up over the decades, music they both liked. And in the silence, too, when her shoulder brushed against his and she tilted her head back to watch the sky, firelight dancing across her features like a performance he could watch for ages. 
Her genuine interest pulled more honesty out of him than anyone else had in years, at least about the little-big things that have nothing to do with blood and death and loss other than in the intrinsic, human way people weave it in their art and always have. And in that, too, Vash had found serenity that only she brought.
He misses it, misses her. Feels selfish for it. Meryl is far away and safer for it and he's already put her through hell. And she'd marched through it, just so she could pull him out of his. This borrowed, fragile peace with all its sharp edges he's having here, with Lina and Sheryl, is her gift to him, too.
Lina always offers to paint his nails when the color eventually chips away and he regretfully watches the bottle slowly empty. When there is no more left, he puts it away in his drawer, next to a notebook with a cover in the bluest shade he could find. It's not deep enough, but it makes him smile a little each time he sees it nonetheless. He fills it with articles that she's written, with shorthand notes about his life here and sometimes memories about her, Wolfwood, Roberto that come to him suddenly and he's afraid to lose to time. 
He should let them go, but he can't, not yet. Can't stop looking for something blue in every shipment to the general store, can't stop from brushing fingers over a pack of cigarettes in his pants pocket, though he never lights one. And wakes up the happiest in the mornings when his dreams have been blue.

chile, could ya explain the magic system in yo oc world more? im kinda confused w how it works👁👄👁
Oh boy, here we go bitches.
So as an intro to this, I said bout last oc post in Qiran's part that their fam was full of mages n shit, but also some of em weren't, n since they do have magic istelf Imma do more parts (3 parts)
Tumblr media
First part- how does It all work (Humans/Mages)
First of all, not all of em have a connection with magic, for example Evelyn doesn't at all while Lyva does but only through a magical item so It doesn't really count.
Other then that, if you're born you can either be born with some kind of magic, or simply not. It all depends from your family's lineage, for example If you come from a family of mainly rougues it's hard to get some kind of magical power, while if your parents have both some kind of power or even if it's only one of em, it's more likely you'll end up with something really similar, or a mixture of the two. (In case both of your parents have magical powers of any sort.)
It also depends on where you're living, for example If you'd be born from a cold place it's unlikely ya'd have magma magic rather than snow magic.
Between humans/mages the system Is kinda the same, but that does change for Hybrids/Demi gods/anything that isn't born between the same species.
Between humans/mages it's more of how their ancestors managed to treat its powers, as some got even destroyed for not being worthy of its usage, so If anything at this point and time they're lucky about getting somethin.
Mages are far more cautious about It, having both a lot of hidden knowlege about spells or even origins of some types of magic, though that being the most "common" ones, (for example fire, water ect.), because it's not only them of course, there's far more variants and all are different from eachother.
They can also get stronger by the worshipping of certain gods, which I don't think I will really talk about, at least in this post. (And also because they're still a wip of mine)
But the gang until now really never relied on any of them, or at least Lyva/Rui n Naexi never really did, while the others absolutely did. This Is also why I will do another post as a sorta of a part 2.
Anyways back on topic, most people in all parts of my oc world aren't used to worshipping anymore, or at least a great part of It, mainly because of a loss of knowlege about anything about them.
It's kind of taboo even mentioning most gods names, as they fear something will go wrong if they would (*ahem*being suspicious n allarmin the cult*AHEM*). In fact it's hard to get on most religions because the only remains of It are extremely either hidden, or destroyed in the meanwhile.
I wanna say that another reason because the worshipping stopped Is also because of Rui's cult. Yes, remember that?
It's gonna be talked about on its own post, but let's just say that for them, it's a safe way to restrain anyone knowing far too much about how everything works.
They're the only ones owning most stuff about different coltures to avoid having them against their side,
If there's no worshippers, no knowlege, n more weak magic because people don't strengthen them, who's gonna go against em? (It'll turn out to be the shittiest idea they've ever had but that really did work for the longest time.)
Oh I think i forgot to mention this, but since magic goes lineage to lineage, It also weakenens as generations pass by, as THAT'S the reason they absolutely need those texts.
That's also the reason most humans struggle w keepin magic. Mages can manage, though it's a small portion, since sometimes not even what they've learned over generations works anymore.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Second part- how does It all work (Hybrids/Demi gods n stuff)
Oh boy, so, I'm also gonna use Shou n Naexi a lot here, so bear w me. As I said earlier, it's different from em, since it's not about lineage at all.
Apart that the union between different species Is both a taboo n seen as something "ashaming",so even if they had a child It was more likely they'd Hide It or leave It behind. So it's already a really, god-awful situation for them.
The magic works kinda randomly, in the sense that since the hybrid's nature is seen as unstable to begin w, there's no real critere to handle how the child born Is gonna turn out to be.
Sometimes it's really hard to notice, having yeah some features but can be hidden really easly, but other times Is just, a real mess between the two species, n the magic Is also uncontrollable, especially during their first years of life.
For example, in Shou's case he used to really switch a lot between em, that being the reason he later on prefers not to switch, n havin to learn as soon as possible how to learn how his magic n form would work w It, having again a lot of preassure comin from people he knew.
This Is unfortunatly a really common situation between most hybrids. And there's also no choise.
If you as an hybrid can control magic w/o anything to rely on then you can live, while if you cannot do It, it's a matter of time before you'd get zoned out by everyone and everything.
This Is a big issue, other than having everything fucked by the cult but that's another story.
Aight now bout demi-gods, they're also really not seen well. Most of them prefer not to interact at all with anything that Is not godly related, and in fact, most of em even refused to adknowledge their mortal parent, since they all have resentment over the sudden disappereance of all belivers.
If anything Naexi Is a weird one at that, as they did have a suddent interest in humans and ungodly creatures, though still recognized about how cruel any of them could've been, especially she's a demi-god and has a bad reputation at that.
The magic system Is relatively simple, they just get a certain amount of power from their god parent and are actually pretty capable of controlling them in confront of Hybrids.
That mainly comes from a special connection w their god parent's power, so in theory they're sort of devoted to them.
I wanna expand this when I'll do the gods post n finnaly introduce some of em (And potentially Naexi's mother👀), so I'll not go beyond this atm.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Third part- Magical items/weapons
Aight onto another important part, which Is basically how tf would that work. We have that comin from Qiran's sword n Lyva's earrings, so they'll also be later on disscussed bout.
Even though it's a tough and long procedure, you can transport some of your own magic onto somethin as ordinary as an hat or as sharp as a dagger.
This Is being mainly used in emergency situations, as that energy can eventually be re-used later on by its user.
The user can be changed as long as there's a deal between both parties, whether that being a gift, buying It, or anythin up to them really.
It can also be a great way to hide mage's power, since there are some parts where they arent exactly that respected, so they could blend in with normal humans.
In fact, Qiran does that continiously thanks to their sword, daggers and other lil weapons, and they keep a big part of It there, to seem rather a normal knight/adventurer rather than havin somethin supernatural goin on.
They have a great holdo it since their father did make them learn to fulfill their request to be freerly goin round.
With Lyva it's not really different, even if she kinda stole It n there wasn't really a deal at that moment, but before runnin away from everyone n everything she convinced her mother to give her something that she could use to defend herself, since they were never around and when they were, they would've kinda avoided her.
Oh, and to add this, you could also curse an item. It's a way to mainly punish since ,well, it's a curse,
and makes the user either completely obsessed with the object itself or makin them do somethin w/o any type of consent, whether physical or emotional.
In some cases It can also be a torture tool. Though, as some recent stuff happened, they're somewhat hard to find.
Tumblr media
If you still have somethin unclear lemme know cuz idk If I covered everythin or if somethin ain't clear enough😭

Mixtape: Wangan Selection
Tumblr media
I've been wanting for some time to make a long Eurobeat mixtape, so I thought this could be a good theme. The term itself is a little confusing giving its obscure nature, and since it happened literally in the middle of the first and second booms, I choose to use songs released between 1989 and 1994. The most correct date probably would be 1990-1994 but since release dates are a confusing thing, I thought that 1989-1994 would be more appropriate but this is my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt... Let's say that this mixtape was only influenced by this theme. Yes, the cover is a picture of the actual Wangan line, I took it from Wikipedia and made it look old lol. 01. Albert One - Lover Boy (1989) 02. Molto Carina - Love for Sale (1989) 03. Jenny Kee - Somebody's Loving (1989) 04. Gipsy & Queen - Love & Passion (1989) 05. Jasmine - Running Down (1989) 06. Joe Yellow - Wild Boy (1989) 07. Giorgia Morandi - Jump for Joy (1990) 08. The System Blow - Call Me (1990) 09. Tasha - Not Feeling Blue (1990) 10. Max Coveri & Radiorama - One Two Three (1990) 11. Thomas & Schubert - Eyes of Ice (1990) 12. The Big Brother - L.A. Time (1990) 13. Kelly Marshall - Now I Know (1991) 14. Mario Ross - More Illusions (1991) 15. Domino - Your Freedom (1991) 16.

Establish Your Very Own Webcam
Nowadays, web cameras are anywhere. Your buddies have one, maybe your workplace or the university that you research in also do. So, you chose to ultimately opt for the group and obtain a video camera. Now that you have it in your home as well as connected to your computer, you possibly ask yourself: "" How do I make this thing reveal an image online?"" We are here to describe. Setting up your own internet camera is very easy: all you need is a computer, the camera itself, webcam software program which will certainly do the broadcasting, as well as a Web connection.
Streaming Video vs. Still Photos
The initial choice you need to make before putting your electronic camera live is if it will show streaming video clip or still photos. If you have actually checked out a web cam directory site such as OnlineCamera.com and checked out a couple of web cams, you have actually most likely noticed that several of them show a continious stream of live video clip, while others refresh the web page in your browser as well as reveal a different picture at a pre-set time period. The initial taste, the streaming ones, lack uncertainty more attractive to a customer, yet can you sustain such a video camera? If you have a broadband Web link, as well as you could pay for reserving much bandwith for your cam to stream, the answer is indeed. If not, you 'd much better stick to the still picture camera - that will make the proccess lighter for both you and also your camera's viewers, and such a link can function without issues even if you access the 'web with a dial-up link. Additionally, this will offer you the chance to reveal the world images with higher picture top quality - larger as well as without grains, - although those photos will not be moving the means they do on TV.
It is likewise vital to think about the picture size of the shots being taken by your webcam: the greater the image, the lower the refresh price. A 640x480 pixels image can be fantastic looking, yet it could be fantastic problem for users with slow Web connections, especially if the refresh rate of your electronic camera is set to a period such as 3 secs. Take a look at the options of the broadcasting software program that came with your web cam, as well as think of how various choices that it provides would certainly search other people's computers. If you have buddies and relatives living away from you that have Internet access, you can ask to check your electronic camera. Establish it to various combinations of picture size and rejuvenate rates, as well as ask to check out it and also inform you exactly how it looks. This way you can have some terrific enjoyable with your camera also prior to you show it to the general public. In case you don't have individuals to try out, maintain the following tips in mind: a sensible photo dimension could be 320x240 pixels if freshened every 20-30 secs. If you want the photo to update more frequently, attempt with a photo size of 160x120 pixels. Using that, you can have refresh rates of up to 10 secs. If you stream real-time video, try to maintain a photo size of 160x120 so slow-moving Net links can see your web cam without problems.
Techniques of Supplying the Webcam Picture
Customer Pull
This technique is one of the most prominent, made to reveal single photos from the cam. It is the most easy approach to establish, and the one that functions flawlessly for dial-up Web links. It likewise won't take much bandwith from your connection, so you'll still be able to browse the internet, obtain e-mail, as well as other things while your webcam snaps shots. However, you will not have the ability to offer live video clip feeds with this approach.
This technique is typically completed with an FTP link that sends the swan song caught by the Web cam to the site hosting your web pages.
Server Press
This is one of the most resource-consuming method, and therefore, the least implemented. You need to utilize it if you wish to stream live video from your webcam to audiences. It has its constraints, some of which are:
It requires a high bandwith connection. You need to put a limitation to the video clip stream for each and every user connecting to it.
You cannot utilize a dial-up link for this approach. If there is a firewall program in your network, it could disallow you to utilize this technique, or can restrict you somehow or one more. Just one of the most current internet browser variations support server press.
To set up a server press cam, you'll require a dealt with IP (vibrant IP's are likewise possible, yet you need a lot more sources) and also server push software program. How to Rejuvenate the Picture As soon as you have actually determined which type of web cam you are establishing, you need to choose how to make it revitalize the photo.
To get the current shot caught by the camera, your audiences will need to refill it (typically by pressing the F5 switch on their keyboard), unless you add some added HTML, Javascript code or Java applets which will certainly autoreload the image after an offered duration that you could define. (This does not apply to the web server push approach, since it is continously streaming a video clip feed).
META Tag Command
Altough this is the earliest technique of rejuvenating a webcam image on a web page, it remains in usage in numerous places, and also works flawlessly. By doing this of revitalizing is done using a little HTML code.
There is an HTML tag than can make a web page instantly reload after a time period (in secs) is gotten to. The phrase structure for this tag is as adheres to: << HEAD>>. << META HTTP-EQUIV= REFRESH MATERIAL="" secs">" >.
At the period in secs, the web browser will certainly reload the current web page, and do it over as well as over once more till the customer shuts it. One of the most substantial negative aspect of this method is that the entire web page is refilled, so a heavy graphics site will certainly be a pain to refill on slow connections and will cause high bandwith use.
If you determine to use this method of refreshing your picture, bear in mind that some old browsers do not permit a photo to instantly freshen after some reloads. To function about this insect, include the following code to your web page's HEAD tag:
<< META HTTP-EQUIV="" Expires"" CONTENT="" Tue, 01 Jan 1980 1:00:00 GMT">" >. << META HTTP-EQUIV="" Pragma"" WEB CONTENT="" no-cache">" >.
JavaScript Refresh.
If you do not wish to make your customers wait for the whole HTML web page to freshen, you could use the JavaScript language to earn simply the photo refresh. Keep in mind that the site visitor of your webcam page will have to enable JavaScript in order to see the image transforming (nowadays, 90% of the audience does have JavaScript made it possible for).
Java Applets.
Java applets are little programs embeded inside a website, which pack the webcam photos releasing the web browser kind that work. There are hundreds of Java applets for this purpose readily available online, such as OnlineCamera Java Audience. You can put them anywhere in your webcam web page and also they'll rejuvenate the photo for you, without revitalizing the whole page, simply the image.
Stay with us to read more in the coming parts of this tutorial.
