i started collars and cages as fun spin/fix it of my real experience with someone and i guess i just forgot that it would come with a fair bit of angst and real emotional pain from within me
anyway--

anonymous &&. said... Ren what would your reaction be if Kazuha would be kidnapped, tortured and then returned to you as a broken man?
❝ what kind of twisted question is THAT supposed to be? ❞ vitriol spills from snarling lips at the mere suggestion of kazuha being hurt. realization of his error almost immediately prods at the corners of his consciousness — for he is perceptive enough to recognize what he can only assume is an underhanded effort to PROVOKE HIM, yet far too ( shamefully ) emotional to crush down his anger. it's preposterous. it's repulsive. it's equally simplistic and tailor-made to bring him the most suffering possible — and he hates that, just as he hates how clearly he's proven its efficacy. teeth snap shut like the jaws of a beartrap. there is a growl building in his throat, even as ren tries ( and largely fails ) to smother his fury. breathe, he reminds himself. breathe, even if it's useless. breathe, if only for the sake of having something else to focus on before he acts more FOOLISH than he already has.
the bite of nails digging so harshly into his palm is strangely comforting. it hurts, but not in any capacity that would manage to actually bother him. rather, it serves more as a reminder of his physical presence in the world beyond his own head. ❝ ... what kind of answer are you EXPECTING to hear? ❞ the wanderer finally says, after an AGONIZINGLY LONG pause. in contrast to his prior outburst, his voice goes deathly cold — like ice, razor-thin and sporting a jagged edge. his calmness is an imperfect facade; his wrath condensed to serve as a blade while he goes on the offensive. ❝ he isn't weak ... and i would never allow that to happen. it's a POINTLESS scenario to even consider. ❞ it is. it is. it is. ( it isn't, but he would prefer to delude himself into believing otherwise, just this once. ) he isn't going to think about it — for to even ENTERTAIN the thought of his fiancé being tortured to the point of breaking feels like an act of the utmost disrespect. he doesn't want to give the idea even a modicum of attention; he doesn't want to risk manifesting something so wretched.
does kazuha even know to what degree the wanderer's desire for self-improvement rests upon his shoulders? that he is his happiness, his salvation, the only thing keeping him from viewing this world as completely irredeemable? does he know what ren would do should anything happen to him? perhaps it's best that he doesn't — perhaps it's best that NO ONE ever does. the human is already a glaring weakness. the atrocities he knows he would commit in retaliation are BEYOND forgiveness and rationality alike.
to call it a tragedy would be an understatement. there would be no victors in this hypothetical conflict; they would all BURN, and he would make sure of it — wearing their ashes like a grisly prize.
❝ don't ask me something that TASTELESS ever again. ❞ there is implication thick in every word; he wouldn't allow them to make that mistake for a third time.

i am. still just so glad i got out of teen wolf when the cast started falling apart. like season three was such a shitshow from day one and made me INSANE as it was airing and i just could not continue to watch for season four after they killed off or wrote off essentially half the cast and killed all the found family potential and i will admit!!! that seeing crystal reed herself on a new teen wolf story DID tempt me!!!! i am only human!!!! i am not immune to allison argent!!!! but truly i know myself and i know that the show died a horrible death for me over the course of s3 and there’s a lot of good reasons i stopped watching it and those reasons will sustain me through my decision to not watch this new movie
all that said. @ my loyal six followers. please do not be alarmed if i end up temporarily in a teen wolf revival moment. i am not immune to allison argent and the nostalgia of it all DOES make me want to go back and reread all the old classic pack fics from before davis decided to start killing kids left and right !!! i am not immune to the powerful energy of sterek writers, nor to the call of pack-fics!!!!

tragic greek figures + your ocs
Thank you for reminding me I wanted to do this one, @captainderyn! Uquiz, my beloved, diagnose my ocs, lmaoooo.
I have... honestly lost track of who has and hasn’t done this, so if you haven’t, I’m tagging you. I’m tagging you, I’m tagging you, I’m taggi-
(Dot, it’d help if you’d link the quiz)
Tyr Deckard - Patroclus
clever patroclus, beloved patroclus, poor patroclus: you do fall into madness, nor vanity, nor hubris. not, that is, for your own sake. love for that golden-haired man, sorrow for your countrymen; it is for his name that you don his armor, and for the dying greeks that you ride into battle. every piece of you is willingly given away, even if after you are gone there are wicked things done in your name.
Savosta - Icarus
what is there to be said of icarus? you were warned, yet you persisted, imprudently. but what of your first taste of liberation? the exhilaration that follows the first ray of the sun to touch you as you are, as a free man, makes you drunk on joy. we all know the foolish things that drunken people are capable of. was the fall as thrilling as the flight?
Lensan Ryaldar - Arachne
adept arachne, the things which you craft are born from years of careful practice, focused effort, and a drop of divine inspiration. your finished product shows the skills which you have honed over your lifetime, so take pride in that, but don’t proclaim yourself a peerless artisan, and, by the gods, show humility when you’ve been beaten.
Rhystyl Delavast - Achilles
best of the greeks, eager for honor, and quick to rage: you could easily live in content and easy until you're gray-haired, but glory and fame call for you just beyond the horizon. you are not prone to self-reflection and trip into the same pits of wrath at bruised pride over and over. are you truly ready to sacrifice everything so that your name will be immortalized? is your fury what you want to be remembered for?
