#he's a lying liar who lies

[fake-married-my-dead-fiance]

Jang Uk only occasionally sleeping at home in S2 is heartbreaking because he's lying that he feels more comfortable at Songrim. We watched S1, he loves being at home, that's where he goes when he wants to feel better. And he does that in S2 too, the worst nights when he uses the ice stone he's always at home.

He just can't be home for very long, because he attracts wraiths and other creepy things; his servants are afraid of him (except Maid Kim who is just extremely worried); and he makes everyone cold. It's not just that he's depressed and doesn't want to be around people, if he's around anyone too long it hurts them (he leaves when Seo Yul is recovering because he's worried about that).

That's what makes Bu-yeon's powers so vital to him, because if she's there, it's not just that he doesn't have to deal with being haunted, he can actually stay at home without hurting anyone. And she is literally the only person who can be close to him without being harmed.

FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S (2023)

[honorhunt]

𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐁𝐎𝐁𝐀 𝐖𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐇𝐀𝐙𝐀𝐑𝐃 to admit to westeros’ beauty came only under the strictest of circumstances. chiefest among them was a serene lack of souls stirring about. not hair nor hide of a feckless drunkard with his trousers shackled about his ankles, or a paltry wretch too eager with a knife with a loose grip on his life. just the solace of the night and its silvery mistress.

      and the occasional threshold of company.

do you ever have those moments where you wish you could . . . go back ? rewrite your own past , make different decisions . — @sihnon / god of war: ragnarok

      ❝ no, ❞ he lied, the shadow of his helmet guarding the dissonance in his eyes. thoughts of the past began to drip into his present. boba steeled himself against them, running them through with a pointed reminder that what he lost was never meant for a man with so much blood on his hands.

                              ❝ sentiment doesn’t pay. ❞

"have you—" you started, then stopped to mull over the phrasing of your question.

"have i?" sun's lighthearted response came a moment later when you hadn't yet said anything. he straightened up from where he'd been cleaning off one of the art tables in the daycare and spun his head around so he could peer at you backwards.

you twisted your lips to the side, your gaze directed skywards in thought. "hang on, i'm trying to figure out how to phrase this." your legs dangled from where you sat atop the security desk, swaying back and forth idly as you strung words together. sun was patient, though you could see the way he glanced around at all the messes he still needed to clean when you looked at him.

slowly, you spoke. "have you ever had like"—you tapped at your chin, eyebrows furrowed—"had any... involuntary actions?"

sun's head tilted to the side, his eyes squinting slightly. "depends. define 'involuntary'."

"well," you said with a hum, "like, i don't know. if something startled you, i guess."

"ah! you mean reactions," sun said, a finger in the air as he came to the realization. "reflexes, in a sense."

you snapped your fingers and pointed at him. bingo! "yeah! exactly that. you ever had any?"

he smiled at you and turned away so he could resume his cleaning. "can't say that we've had! it is an utterly human thing, i'm afraid."

you frowned, shoulders slouching at his easy dismissal. you watched him pick up some scattered crayons on another small table. "really? not at all?"

"nope!" he replied cheerfully. "each and every action we take is done after careful computation, making them all completely voluntary." he tossed the crayons in his large hands into their designated container, then turned to look at you with his hands on his slim hips. "for example, the probability of you answering with 'are they really' is approximately 93.456 percent."

"are they—" you caught yourself from responding in the middle of his explanation, closing your mouth with an audible click. sun gave you a wide grin.

"see? and as such i am able to properly give a response! there is no scenario that i am unprepared for!"

you pursed your lips and discretely reached behind you. "but what if i did"—your fingers snagged onto a crumpled ball of paper and you whipped your hand forward to throw it right at his dumb face—"this!"

without even a blink, sun reached up and caught the wad of paper before it could hit him. his white eyes crinkled into slim crescents. "even that was accounted for, friend!" he tossed the paper off to the side and it landed perfectly into a nearby garbage can. you resisted a groan.

"how could you even account for a stupid action like that?" you asked, huffing slightly out of your nose. talking to sun sure was frustrating sometimes.

there was a small pause. "because i know you, my dear," sun eventually said gently. his smile strained slightly at one side of his face. "and i know how much you like your silly questions."

you rolled your eyes, but didn't deign that with a response. instead, you pouted at him. "so you're just always computing situations and probabilities in your mind, then executing them?"

"right you are! we are capable of analyzing hundreds of thousands of scenarios in an instant, you know."

you mulled over this for a bit, thinking back to all your previous encounters with sun. he went back to tidying up, the silence of the daycare interrupted only by the jingle playing through the overhead speakers.

you weren't about to just let this go. you were nothing but persistent, it seemed. "what about when i've caught you off guard?" you questioned soon after. sun tilted his head again, but didn't turn around to face you this time when he responded.

"you have never caught me off guard, friend," he said, his voice oddly clipped.

your jaw dropped open at the blatant lie. you knew for sure, you'd said or done things he had not expected. "oh that's bullshit, i definitely have! it's always written all over your body language!"

"language," sun warned you, straightening up so he could toss some stray plastic balls back into the ball pit. he brushed off his hands of invisible dirt, then made his way closer to you. he stopped just before you, his shadow casting itself over your seated form on the desk. he booped your nose, a motion that made you cross your eyes to look at his finger. "you have not. i already told you; there is nothing i am unprepared for and nothing i cannot control."

"right," you said, unconvinced. a sudden thought popped in your head just as sun began to turn away, and you opened your mouth to voice it. "what about that thing you do with your hands?"

he stilled, halfway turned from you. "what thing?"

"you know, the—" you made a motion with your hands, flexing your fingers like you were grabbing something invisible. sun watched you from the corner of his eye, pupils of white on a backdrop of cloudy grey. "that thing. or when your rays twitch. are those voluntary?"

like clockwork, one of his rays twitched until it stopped with an audible click. he stared at you, unrelenting in his gaze. you felt wholly exposed underneath it. "...those are simply minor calibrations."

you gave him an unimpressed look. "dude, you're not fooling me. you even sound off right now, you're telling me you're doing it on purpose?"

"yes." he turned back around to face you and laced his fingers together. there was a smile on his face still, but it was frigid. static. "to simulate human behavior in accordance to the data i am being presented with."

you scoffed. "i'm not data, sun, i—"

he leaned down towards you, making you shift back slightly on the desk. a pit was starting to open at the bottom of your stomach. "oh but you are. what do you think i am processing right now if not the data that you consist of?"

your jaw tensed, and when you replied, your voice was stiff. "you know what? i'm going to pretend like you didn't just say that to my face." you glanced down at his hands, where his fingers were twitching against each other. you pointed at them. "is that voluntary too?"

his pupils darted down to look at his hands, then he swiftly tucked them behind his back. "yes, completely." his smile thinned, something lining his voice that you couldn't quite identify. "friend, we have been over this—"

"sun, why are you so—"

"what do you want me to say?!" he snapped out over your own voice, and it was so unexpected that your jaw snapped shut. "that i am not in control of certain actions? that the robot doesn't work like it is supposed to anymore?"

you opened your mouth to respond. but before you could utter a word, a cool palm covered the entirety of your lower face, silencing you. sun moved until his head was inches from your own, his pupils piercing through your own as the lights behind his head cast his face in a deep shadow.

"because i can assure you, friend," he said lowly, grip tightening on your jaw, "you do not want that."

During his Abyss mourning years, SY manages to travel by himself to watch the migration of Demonic Purple Liege Butterflies, so he's just out in a field when a tear in reality opens up and LBH falls out, broken, beaten, slightly charred and fresh out of the Abyss

SY is, sadly, a deeply stupid man and instead of running cleans him up and nurses him back to health in the cottage he's rented to watch the migration. Maybe he's waving his own death flags, but what is he supposed to do? Leave LBH to suffer more?

Imagine his surprise when LBH wakes up and cries with joy to be reunited with his Shizun and home(ish)

He doesn't remember how he fell into the abyss
