#he was READY to sacrifice himself

[starrysymphonies]

I finished Trials of Apollo and I’m still not over it

[s0fter-sin]

soap and ghost, after months of flirting, of having each other’s backs and saving each other’s lives, of knowing the other better than they know themselves, finally getting together

ghost letting himself free fall onto the bed, soap following, always following his lead. they barely pull apart enough to get their shirts over their heads, hands running over muscles and scars and holding close

soap kisses every new scar that’s revealed to him, from the thick keloid divot over his ribs from some kind of puncture to the innumerable slashes and stitch wounds holding his torso together until he’s mouthing over his collarbones; the tips of his fingers lightly caressing the edges of his mask

ghost who’s been so quiet, so overwhelmed by soap’s touch that all he can do is sink into him, panting gasping breaths, finally pushes out, “don’t ask me. please…”

soap freezes, mouth hovering over his skin. “ghost…?”

ghost’s face is tilted away, eyes held so tightly shut they tremor while the rest of his body stays lax beneath his. desperate. resigned. “please don’t ask me, johnny.”

soap lets his hand fall from the mask, coming to run soothing circles over his clothed hip. “why?”

“because i’ll say yes,” he confesses and it’s great and terrible; a warning and a relinquishment laid at soap’s feet. “i’ll always say yes to you.”

for a long moment, there’s nothing but their shared breaths, nothing but their hearts beating for the other. until soap finally leans down to press a kiss to the corner of his hidden mouth; his lips meeting faint raised scar tissue he might never see

“i’ll never ask.”

ghost’s eyes drift open and they catch on soap’s; on a sea of promise and fierce protection

“i swear… i’ll never ask, ghost.”

I'M GONNA SCREAM THIS CAUSE I DON'T THINK ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE LISTENING. YOU DO REALIZE THAT IF KATNISS DIDN'T HAVE ANY ACTUAL FEELINGS FOR PEETA IF HIS DEATH WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SOMETHING EXTREMELY PERSONAL FOR HER SHE WOULD'VE JUST LEFT HIM TO BLEED OUT IN THE FIRST GAMES. IT WASN'T (JUST) ABOUT DOING THE "RIGHT" THING AND BEING HUMAN AND NOT KILLING HER DISTRICT PARTNER. HE WAS ALREADY DEAD. IT WAS ABOUT WHO HE WAS TO HER. THE BOY WITH THE BREAD. SOMEONE SHE WAS STARTING TO LOVE.

Arthur Bennett was chemically made in a lab for me to go insane over I think. he’s got a guilt only an older sibling could have and a drive for vengeance that is half driven by his own self hatred. yet still he strives for peace. he’s desperate to cling to any humanity, any hope. he’s aware he’s fallible. it doesn’t save him

I'm a real tragedy enjoyer but Luis's death is no longer narratively enjoyable for me, now it just feels like an insult. I'm tired of characters having to die to be "redeemed". It's not their death that is the redemption, it's the fact that they were willing to die in the first place; it's the intent of sacrifice. I much prefer a narrative where Luis survives and is forced to every day atone for his past mistakes. I much prefer when characters don't get the respite of death, when they have to live with their demons, when they have to face their past and maintain their growth. And it's especially maddening when the only reason Luis dies is because he did in the original. They'll change his character so much to give him substance but they won't change his fate? I don't want that.

remember in drum island when sanji threw himself off a cliff in the middle of a tremendous avalanche, broke his back and almost died from the injuries cz "you have to treat ladies gently 🥺"

[summershouto]

sometimes I forget how painful sanjis initial backstory is.. a kid so young experiencing starvation. carrying so much physical and mental effects from it. not to mention the isolation and loneliness he experienced as he sat alone watching the shore everyday. and the whole thing with zeff...

anyway I made myself sad so I saved a bunch of young baratie sanjis to cheer myself up

after everything he went through he found zeff- someone who gave him encouragement in his craft he had never experienced before and someone who proudly called sanji his son

obsessed with warden carver's "in war, victory, champion, and whatever else may come" farewell line. he really refrained from mentioning the "in death, sacrifice" part to his sibling he was going to follow into a battle that seemed pretty much doomed to almost everyone

will not be normal if animated nein shows us Mollymauk running off and risking his life to save people he’s never even met during “choir practice—”

I have well over 300 hours in this game. I'm so close to beating it. I didn't expect to get so obsessed with this wizard, nor for my problematic cleric to REALLY mesh well with Gale. I love them.

More skornweave memes. I have too many memes. Here's more below

People are way to normal about Davrin

Hes a DALISH GREY WARDEN with a baby griffin in its ugly teenager stage voiced by Martin Manhunter.

We should all be holding onto our asses hyped about him

[velvtcherie]

atp the best ending for any jjk character is if they died and stayed dead bc ur tellin me that these bitches can just stitch you back up and use ur body even after death ??? this is beyond immoral ,, it's just VILE

[manmadedonut]

i find it really cute that Ezekiel Jones is the only person in season 4 that reasons 'he loves everyone to the point that im completely going to be vulnerable to everyone' and i love him.

i did NOT linger on ch402-405 long enough because as far as i can tell katsuki brought himself back right before all might was brought over by all for one, right? but with the distance, he wouldn't have seen them, nor did he have any sufficient means of closing such a distance THAT fast. so how did he know to go to the ledge and observe below?

either those on the field told him where izuku was, or he heard izuku scream for all might. or BOTH - which is more plausible, because yes, he can trust izuku will win, but with all might in danger and dragged toward ua by all for one, it put everything in jeopardy.

and so what do you mean katsuki bakugou, dynamight, symbol of victory, likely heard izuku's cry for help from below, and charged straight to him - trusted that he would be pointed in the right direction? what do you MEAN he probably heard the desperation in izuku's voice the moment he breathed life again, and his first thoughts were; izuku is in trouble. all might is in trouble.

katsuki didn't even give himself time to live again before he went into another life-or-death fight, because what follows is that he doesn't just save all might from all for one's clutches. he goes to end all for one so he'll never achieve his goal.

because those two people are the largest testament to the man he's become, and he'll defend them with his life - like he did before.

i am unwell.
