#hidden desire

[cruelplatonic]

my personal headcanon is the vees were unremarkable nobodies when they were alive. i just love it as a thematic throughline for them. they love to let the public of hell speculate on them being famed and acclaimed since before death, but the the truth is they were a d-list failed influencer that got by on cheap controversey and scamming, a broke junkie who burned every shaky bridge he ever had, and a worn-out broadcast production assistant with more rejected auditions and tossed out script pitches than he could count. nobody missed them when they were gone, nobody cared who they were until they were dead.

Kafka Hibino

Kafka Hibino.... with visible salt and pepper side burns.

Kafka Hibino.... wearing glasses and has salt and pepper side burns.

Kafka HIbino.... in that black turtleneck and a dark brown leather jacket and also wearing glasses and has salt and pepper side burns.

Kafka Hibino.... wearing that outfit and is an Animal Biology Professor in an College Au.

Kafka Hibino..... asking out Hoshina who is an Advanced Mathematics Professor working at the same college, to have an after-work drink with him.

Slightly DRUNK Kafka Hibino... becoming very forward with an also slightly drunk Hoshina

Slightly Drunk Hoshina... immediately matching Kafka's freak tenfold and Kafka is very much fine with this.

I think it is pretty funny how Amiya has to read Black Snake's memories to get a good grasp of him despite his endless obtrusive monologuing which he sprouts specifically in an attempt to confuse her, meanwhile Sanguinarch literally just... tells his very fucked up backstory and motivations. He even says what exactly is buried deep in his heart. And in both cases their reactions are heavily motivated by knowing the crown's power and resenting it.

A Touch That Never Fades

“There’s something about the touch you never forget. The way it lingers long after it’s gone, leaving behind traces of warmth and desire. It’s in the way a glance lingers just a second too long, or how a whispered word can make your heart race. The night hides many secrets, but it’s the unspoken moments that burn the brightest. Have you ever felt the weight of something left unsaid, something that keeps calling you back?”

Cinder paused as she heard the sound of singing echoing in the forest. It wasnt the maiden she was tracking, the singing was too close to be her. No, it was something else. Someone else. And it was distracting. It was hard to focus on following the maiden, almost drawn to the singing itself as she looked away from the fall maiden. 

She slowly started to follow the sound of the singing, looking to see if she could find whoever was making those lovely words, only to stumble across a small cottage. It was strange to see a cottage this far outside kingdom walls, grimm tended to make quick work of anyone trying to make homesteads without any sort of protection. And a small cottage that was no bigger than maybe a couple rooms? It had to be abandoned.

And yet, the singing seemed to be coming from it. 

There was a moment when Cinder felt the need to turn away, to try to ignore the singing as best she could, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldnt help but continue to the cottage and knock on the door. As soon as the singing stopped, she turned to get away from the cottage, only to hear a woman’s voice from behind the door. 

“Its been a long time since I’ve had a visitor,” the woman said just before she opened the door. She was an older woman, heavier set with red hair pulled back into braids down to the middle of her back. Her eyes were almost golden, and her voice alluring. “But since you’re here, you must not know what you really desire.” 

“I know exactly what I want,” Cinder huffed as she pulled away. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go-” 

“You may know what you want, but you dont know what you desire.” The woman cupped Cinder’s cheek as her voice started to grow softer. “All you have to do is listen to my words, and I can show you *everything* you desire.” 

Cinder felt a shiver run down her spine as she listened to the woman’s voice. The singing started once more and she felt herself start to slip out of consciousness, memories of the Glass Unicorn that had been buried started to come to the front of her mind. She watched herself get shocked over and over again, watched as the patrons mistreated her, Rhodes trying to arrest her. 

The woman smirked as she spoke, her voice almost sounding like she was singing rather than speaking. “So that’s what you desired.” 

“I-I didnt desire… pain,” Cinder answered shakily. “I desired power-” 

“You desire freedom, yet you seem to keep believing the lies that you were fed-” 

“I can be free when I get power!” 

“The power you seek and have been promised will do nothing more than shackle you, bind you like you were before. So why do you keep hiding behind the lies you keep telling to yourself? You should let yourself see the truth of what you desire.” 

Cinder wanted to argue further, to cry out and tell the woman what exactly she wanted. But as she opened her mouth to do so, she was met with the sight of her younger self being held by an older man and woman. There was something about how happy she had looked, even as it went from her younger self to how she looked now but with Emerald and Mercury. A desire that she had long pushed away, one that was supposed to be buried after she killed Rhodes. 

“What you desire is a family,” the woman said softly. “A home with the freedom to be yourself. So why do you try to lie to yourself about this?” 

“I-I’m not… I’m not allowed to have this,” Cinder spoke out quietly. She slowly raised her hand in front of her and watched as a flame danced around her fingertips. “So I’ll make my freedom my own way with my own power. A power that was promised to me.” 

“Then I’m afraid you’ll only know pain.” 

The vision in front of Cinder disappeared along with the flames on her fingertips as the singing stopped. She found herself in the rotting remains of a cottage instead of infront of the door with the woman like she remembered. 

“Is everything okay?” Emerald asked over her communicator. “Is the maiden in position yet?” 

Cinder wiped a tear away from her cheek and sighed as she pressed her communicator to speak. “I thought I was being followed and had to stop watching her. I’ll find her again.” 

“Of course you lost her,” Mercury said with a huff. 

“Its not her fault that the maiden we’re tracking is also being watched by Ozpin,” Emerald pointed out. “If she is being followed, we could be caught-” 

“I’ll find the maiden and then we’ll carry out our plan,” Cinder interrupted. “Just stay where you are. If you see her, I’ll catch up.” 

“Yes Cinder.” 

Cinder turned off her communicator and placed a hand on the frame of the cottage. This whole place had felt like a trap that was set up for her, and yet, she couldnt seem to get what she saw out of her head. No matter how much she wanted it, she didnt deserve the happiness that was shown to her. Only power was going to give her freedom, the power that Salem promised her. Then and only then would she be allowed to feel that happiness she desired. 

She pulled her hand away as the frame burst into flames from her semblance, smoke wafting into the air as she walked off. Nothing was allowed to stand in her way.

What Deacon thinks: what did that mean? did he want me to wear a collar too? why else would he mention my neck? i mean, if he /asked/ me i would wear one but he didn't so would wearing one be weird?

What Ymber meant: It's nice to be near someone who isn't tethered to this world to serve it with a physical reminder for all to see.

Cdramas I watched in 2023 List

(dramas with gifs are excellent/great and actually worth watching in my opinion. The others are not, watch at your own risk)

You are so sweet-A time passer if not anything else.

From Repair to Pair-Idk what the hell they wanted me to get from this.

My Fated Boy-he wins for best male lead I've watched this year. He was perfect.

The Trick of Life and Love-i tried.

Hi venus-I love this.

Romance with Blind Master-LOL i should've never watched this especially when I know the movie was no good. LOL

The Starry Love-ending was... but it was nice till then.

Warm on a Cold Night-I need them in another drama together. Hopefully Modern.

Taste of Love-this was so bad

My Little Happiness-rewatch

Definitely Not Today-so underrated. It's only 8 episodes but it's a very important story.

The Lady in the Butchers House- she was abusive

Delicious Romance-absolutely hated this

Royal Rumors-pretty but very boring

Nothing But You

Back From the Brink-hated that end

The Love You Give Me-meh

Rewriting Destiny- this deserves so much. I know it's low budget but I actually really enjoyed this drama so much. He needs bigger roles.

Destined

Here We Meet Again- boring most of the time and long winded but very pretty because that's the only roles this man does

Romance on the Farm-as yall know I have a love hate. I LOVE them so much. But that ending SUCKED. The romance was sprinkled so don't expect so much. It was a family drama with lots of redemption that wasn't deserved. I watched for these two.

Wrong Carriage Right Groom-kind of boring but at the same time I enjoyed them? Just wish they went a more mature route.

Forever Love- OKAY HEAR ME OUT. It's a mini drama. It's bad but it's good and I know yall know wtf I mean.

Hello I'm At Your Service-He picks "mature" romances and I appreciate that.

Promise in the Summer-HEAR ME OUT AGAIN, ya'll cannot expect perfection out of mini dramas. This was just fun and I admit that. Their height difference>>> the comfort scene>>> Just a good time.

Parallel Worlds-chem was there. A bit rushed in some aspects, but if they would have cut this drama DOWN some episodes it would have benefited the other points of the story. Good fantasy though like very interesting world.

You Are Desire-he is soooo good looking and she fits him well. But the career choice for him and the storyline following was such a snooooze.

Hidden Love-controversial drama but I SWEAR you watch episode 1 and then skip like 4 episodes and its smooth sailing. It's not creepy but they have a girl playing her younger self that looks way too young and she's not THAT much younger so it made it seem weird. This was a VERY well done drama.

A Date With the Future-Long and boring.

The Furthest Distance-very beautiful and I love Leo but the pacing is weird to me and the ex is annoying.

Dine with Love-a horrible Male lead. Like he's the worst. But you root for them. idk. Makes you hungry

My Everlasting Bride-mini drama with a mini budget as ya'll know. I had a good time for the two hours. Yes it was absolutely ridiculous. He was so fine.

My Decoy Bride-I mean. They were pretty. Another mini.

The Snow Moon-another mini. It's tragic. And I actually enjoyed for the most part and thought because it's mini that it would end differently. NOPE.

The inextricable Destiny- they do everything in THEIR POWER to make you hate this drama. There were so many points where they could've done better and didnt. I hate that. Don't waste your time.

Fireworks of my Heart-Unpop opinion but he makes incredibly boring dramas. Female lead has NO backbone. And he promises he wont go back but does.

[puredoesnotmeankind]

And if I say Cas and Gabe already have feeings for each other? And that Cas fell first (not that they know) and Gabe fell harder (kinda knows but it has them crying throwing up pulling out their hair sobbing)?
