#did everything move what's going on

[ridiasfangirlings]

saruhiko is attacked by a strain that makes him invisible, he uses this as an excuse to torment yata

Fushimi would definitely find teasing Yata to be a fun application of his new power. Imagine this pre-S1, he was out hunting a Strain on his own and gets attacked. The Strain manages to escape and Fushimi decides to go back to headquarters for now to compile the intel he gathered while out and get the paperwork done while he decides his next move. As he’s on his way back though he finds himself dealing with a lot of annoyances, people keep bumping into him on the sidewalk and then look spooked afterward, and when he gets tired of that and tries to call a taxi they all just drive by. By the time he gets back to S4 he’s tired and more irritable than usual, sitting down to write his report. Doumyouji suddenly screams, Fushimi clicks his tongue as Hidaka asks what’s wrong. Doumyouji says there’s a ghost at Fushimi-san’s desk, the computer turned on by itself and the keyboard started typing on its own. Fushimi clicks his tongue again and is about to ask what idiocy Doumyouji’s talking about when Hidaka’s like wait did I just hear a tongue click. Doumyouji thinks it’s the ghost of Fushimi and Hidaka’s like but he’s still alive, Doumyouji thinks maybe Fushimi was so mad about the last report that he created a ghost out of his anger that’s going to haunt them all by making them rewrite all their reports.

Fushimi realizes something weird must be going on by now and decides to go over the info in his PDA alone, reading about the odd ‘disappearances’ caused by the Strain and figures out that this Strain must have invisibility powers. He’s actually not upset about this either, figuring this is one way to get his annoying subordinates to stop bothering him (imagine Munakata walking by and Fushimi freezes, the squad all run up to him to tell him about the ghost and he keeps telling them not to worry while looking vaguely in Fushimi’s direction. Fushimi mutters ‘creepy’ under his breath and decides to take his leave for now). Since he’s invisible Fushimi figures this would be handy for completing his mission, he can gather information and no one can see him, so he heads back out on his own.

Of course he’s barely away from S4 when he encounters Yata, and Fushimi absolutely can’t resist the urge to bother Misaki. Imagine he throws a knife to knock Yata off his skateboard, Yata goes flying and then looks up to see what he hit but all the knives that were on Fushimi’s person when he got hit by the Strain are also invisible so he doesn’t see anything. Yata’s like ‘huh, that’s weird’ and goes to pick up his fallen skateboard. As he’s about to touch it something kicks it just out of his reach. Yata’s all okay what the hell and reaches for the skateboard again, once again it moves just out of his reach. Yata pauses and then dives for it, the skateboard rolls back the other way. Yata’s like what the fuck is going on and suddenly his beanie to yanked off his head. Yata turns to yell at whoever pulled his hat off and suddenly sees his hat seemingly floating in the air. Yata starts stuttering out ‘a g-g-ghost’ and the hat is thrown right in his face. He grabs it and his skateboard and dashes off, terrified, while Fushimi stands there with his hand over his mouth trying to stop himself from laughing too hard.

He decides to follow Yata to Bar Homra, where Yata is telling Kusanagi and the others about the ‘ghost’ that attacked him. Kusanagi wonders if maybe it was a Strain of some kind, Yata’s like no way it had to be a ghost nothing was there. Fushimi is standing just outside and imagine Mikoto sitting up and looking out the window with Anna next to him. Kusanagi asks if something’s wrong and Mikoto says ‘nothing’ while Fushimi sits a little lower and quietly clicks his tongue. Yata’s still on edge so Kusanagi suggests he go home and rest a bit, Yata’s like yeah maybe that’s a good idea. Of course the ‘ghost’ has to follow, Mikoto is watching them leave and Anna says it should be fine, Mikoto shrugs in reply and Totsuka wonders if King and Anna saw something interesting that the rest of them couldn’t.

Yata gets home and is like maybe I’ll rest a bit, yeah, just lay down on the couch for a while. As soon as he does though Fushimi decides to tie his shoelaces together, and then goes to see what else he can move around to tease Misaki. Imagine he’s having fun like moving everything in the kitchen half an inch to the left and putting eggs in Yata’s bed, thinking it will be fun to see Yata start flailing once he wakes up. Fushimi opens Yata’s closet planning to rearrange all his clothes but then imagine in the back of the closet he finds this box. Fushimi snickers all oh my Misaki, to think a virgin has a secret stash, he’s definitely going to scatter this all around the apartment. When he opens it though inside is what little Fushimi left in their old apartment before he went to S4, a handful of clothes and personal items, and Fushimi’s face twists. He ends up shoving the box back in the closet and decides he has work to do, he can’t waste all this time dealing with useless things. As he’s leaving he stops just briefly, looking down at Yata’s sleeping face, and then mutters ‘stupid’ and leaves, letting the door slam behind him. (Yata, having missed all this angst, sits bolt upright, tries to get off the couch and promptly face plants on the floor because his shoes were tied together.)

At your side [End of Season 2]

[First] Prev <–-> Next

[yuwuta]

roommate katsuki lore time: 

your job isn’t as physically demanding as that of a pro-hero, but it is equally, if not more time intensive. your friends often comment you seem dead on your feet way more often than they do, and you have to agree. so when you decide to scrounge up some extra money and hire a private chef, you think it’s the best decision you’ve made in a while. 

your friends would seem to agree—and some tease that maybe you should ask your guy if he can cater to izuku, too. except for katsuki, who seems appalled, betrayed, and disgruntled. it takes all but one week about you gushing over the meals your chef has prepped for you for katsuki to show up to your apartment in the middle of the day, while you’re at work, and the chef is in your kitchen, kindly ask him to leave forever, and get to work himself. when you come home, you’re confused and pissed when you realize katsuki has fired your saving grace, but the anger falls flat on your tongue when you’re interrupted by the blonde spoon-feeding you the most delicious bite of steak that you’ve ever had in your entire life. he’s way too smug watching you physically melt about the food, and ordering you to sit down and have a proper meal. 

he tries not to be endeared by your stuffed cheeks, but there’s a satisfaction brewing in him that he can’t quite place. all he knows is it won’t be taken away from him again; that’s why he flicks your forehead, throws a dish towel over his shoulder, and says, “make room for my shit here by the end of the week. and don’t complain when i put all your spoons together in one drawer,” before heading over to the sink to wash up. 

you don’t even get until the end of the week before katsuki is barreling into your apartment with boxes and clothes and, “this is what we call a stainless steel pan in the wild. ever seen one before?” prompting you to reach up and pinch his ear even as he cackles all the way to the kitchen. you suppose, in the end you can’t complain. you get to live with your best friend, you get free catering, free cleaning, and it takes you two months of living together to find out katsuki’s paid off your rent for the rest of the year, too. you know, what friends are for.

Prompt 192

Danny feels exhausted. His stupid ghost-puberty is annoying, and is affecting even his human form. Which wouldn’t be that bad, except for the fact that instead of having a simple elemental or obsession core, he happens to have a Space one. Technically the Space Core seeing as apparently he’s the newborn Ancient of Space. Or something. 

Urgh, he just wants to get some food from the dollar store down the street, not deal with whatever attempted mugging this is. He’s hangry, and just wants to get some food and curl back up in his mass of blankets back in his tiny apartment. 

So maybe he overreacted. He might have released his very careful hold on his less-than human traits that have been attempting to leak through the last several weeks. On the bright side, he, uh, isn’t hungry anymore and is now back in his nest of blankets. 

On the other hand, there is now a vigilante in his window.

just had the thought 'in the end the most important thing varric taught rook was how to make a home for, with, and in other people' and then I had to go lie down on the floor and clutch at my head in unceasing agony for a few hours, as you may well imagine. hawke and the kirkwall crew........ in the end you kind of saved the world a bit in the most characteristically indirect and chaotic of ways. not by anything in particular that you did or achieved or accomplished (lmao imagine!), but just by -- having existed, and by the love that was always there, despite it all, in all its imperfections, even when no one was saved by it in the end. you're not here right now and you're not quite haunting the narrative but I hear your voices bickering and arguing and laughing from the other room. (and so, I think, does varric. all the time.)

'did you think you mattered, hawke? did you think anything you ever did mattered?' yeah actually, varric says with da2 and keeps saying through the series. you were here. and I loved you. and as it turns out that mattered more than almost anything in the world, no matter how long it lasted or how fucked up it was at the time or what else happens, because varric manages to pass that feeling, that intangible... home, that echo of you all as you were together, that love, hopefully the best parts of it, on to someone else for them to bring with them on their journey, with their family. and maybe the world will be kinder this time. you never know. merrill's line of 'Everything affects everything. We were born, a bunch of things happened, and now we're in a mess with our friends.' varric's greatest fear of becoming his parents. even through the wreck and the ruin of the world, ghosts upon ghosts upon ghosts of love -- malcolm hawke, who we never even see, but his life touched hawke's and hawke's touched varric's and varric's touched rook's and rook is passing it on to the family they're creating. the unbroken legacy of love shines through in ways that are stronger and stranger than any magic. help

Woke: Alhaitham sold his grandmother's house and moved into the research center because he didn't like living in an empty home with so many memories.

Also woke: Alhaitham sold his grandmother's house and moved into the research center because it was the last remaining tie he had to Kaveh, and taking ownership of it ensured that Kaveh would have to communicate with him again at least one more time.

It's so damn hard to NOT spoiler your friend that Darkrai is the evil twisted mastermind in PMD when he literally consumes your every thought.

Please help me, I have been suffering for months.

[mydogatemymotivation]

I kind of think that people focus a little too much on the Lasat Merc that Kallus mentioned in the Honorable Ones. I get it, because it's an interesting scene that Kallus describes but I think focusing on the mercenary himself is, like, not the point. I don't know whether he worked for Saw long term and was a partisan himself, or if he was just a hired gun because Saw needed some extra muscle, but him staying hidden and kind of shrouded in mystery is just so much better for Kallus.

First of all, focusing on the merc makes what happened to Kallus kind of fall to the wayside, it takes the focus off of him almost entirely. I do think that it makes sense from Kallus' pov because I think he fixates on the mercenary after the fact, maybe as a way to cope, but there was a lot more going on with him specifically.

He was the only survivor, for one. No matter what side someone was on, surviving that situation is traumatizing. Especially with the calculated way Kallus described it (we also have to remember that he may be something of an unreliable narrator here, he's traumatized and biased). I remember watching The Pianist which was, unfortunately, a great movie (I say unfortunately because it's a Roman Polanski film, and I had no idea about the allegations at the time) (I watched it for class and wrote a paper about it, WWII movie) but there's a scene in it where there are people who are laid on the ground face down and shot in the back of the head one-by-one, except the last one because the soldiers clip runs out. So he takes the time, standing above this guy, to reload his gun, then shoots. Even just as a film scene that shit stuck with me. You can't tell me that living through that and not knowing whether or not the gun was going to turn on you wouldn't be the reason you have nightmares for the rest of your life. You can debate about motivations and the partisans all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that living through that means you're never sleeping through the night again.

Kallus also says that he couldn't move. I don't know if he was pinned down, or if he was in shock, but I always took it to mean some kind of injury. Something like an incomplete paralysis, nerve damage to his spine, that causes temporary paralysis. Long recovery time, surgeries, physical and/or occupational therapy, etc.

He would've been a very young boy, trying to do good (even if he was misguided), injured, unable to move, watching all the boys his age die one-by-one, waiting for his turn, being the only survivor, the medical trauma, the physical pain - that mercenary doesn't need to be evil to make this properly traumatizing for Kallus. He could be a completely neutral actor.

Second of all, Kallus' anger at the mercenary is exaggerated. He's angry at himself. A lot of people I think ask the question of "how did Kallus stay with the Empire after what happened on Lasan?" Honestly, I think the answer is denial. There's no way to deny what happened on Lasan, but there is a way to bury your head in the sand. Not ask questions, assume that there was some grand plan you're just unaware of and that if you knew all the details then everything would make sense, put more trust in the people you definitely shouldn't be trusting, and find someone else to blame. Basically, double, even triple, down, because if you don't then everything you've done is for nothing. He takes his anger out on Zeb and clings to this narrative about this mercenary to try and throw together some explanation he can get behind mentally. Also keep in mind that Lasan happened like, two years or so before the beginning of the show. So as little time as Zeb has had to deal with what happened to his home, Kallus also has had two years of mental spiraling to try and tie himself into knots to justify what happened, and he only seemed to get crueler and angrier in that time frame (that random stormtrooper he kicked to death??). It wasn't until he was able to talk to someone about what happened (and I don't imagine talk therapy is encouraged in the Empire) that he was able to come back around. Kallus only lasted three, maybe three and a half years after Lasan before he finally couldn't take it and left (and, maybe it's just me, but I don't really count his time under Vader. You do what Vader says in order to survive)(but that could completely be my perspective). But all the while, every time he fought Zeb, he was fighting that mercenary and himself.

The mercenary left him alive because 1) he just flat out didn't see him, 2) Kallus was so badly injured he thought Kallus was dead, 3) Kallus was the only one without a helmet and the mercenary saw a young boy. We never see this mercenary. I don't know if he died, or if he left the partisans after deciding he didn't like Gererra's tactics, or if he was a hired gun whose job was done. Either way, I don't think Kallus should ever see him again. I don't know if I have the words to explain why (sorry if I repeat myself, but I'm trying to put words to my thoughts) but somehow Kallus' ability to let this issue go, in my mind, is directly tied to his ability to heal from the Empire. I don't necessarily think that this is a thread he needs to chase, or an issue he needs closure on. His lingering resentment is petty and small compared to Zeb's capacity to forgive, and I think he would beat himself up for still feeling angry. His ability to close the door on this is directly related to his ability to accept Zeb's forgiveness. When people talk about the mercenary, I just, I feel like, they're missing what the mercenary is for Kallus. And in real life I could understand wanting answers about something that happened to you, but in this instance, narratively, the mercenary is left unnamed for a reason. This character is a catalyst or a shadow in Kallus' story, he's not meant to be examined for his own sake, he's meant to be examined for what he means to Kallus.

Idk hopefully this makes sense I should've gone to bed a while ago, this was just something I've had on my mind for a minute. (and as always, this isn't me trying to absolve Kallus of anything he did, just thinking, trying to understand him, etc., cuz he's interesting)

All might in the beginning:

"most of the top heros show signs of greatness even as children, they claim that their bodies moved before they could think"

Katsuki in 'bakugou Katsuki: rising' :

"at that moment, there were no thoughts in my head, my body just moved on its own"

SO validating to know that I wasn't making it up in my head about my previous boss just. Completely screwing me over. Bc she's doing the same thing to my coworker right now and while I feel terrible for her we're both like. Yeah no it's not just you she's been awful to me too. Handshaking in solidarity out here

Haven’t been keeping up with Revenant, but seeing people hold Eramis to a similar level of villainy as beings like Savathûn and Rhulk to argue against her treatment in the story (or even the fact we haven’t killed her yet) is so… I’m tired guys
