#lingering in remnants

[revelry-in-severity]

Obligatory shuffle au I've put together and a quick summary of each group

Lingering in Remnants

While Shiho may have given up on one day performing with her childhood friends, she hasn't given up on her dream of becoming a professional bass player. She catches the attention of Akito while frequenting one of the live houses and they decide to team up after seeing the determination in each other. An's hunt for a partner has started to increase outside the typical crowd she hangs around with and she comes across Nene practicing alone around school.

They become a proper group when An and Akito see just how big Rad Weekend was and agree that they need more help. It's a bit of a struggle to form either a cohesive band or singing group as Shiho can't really sing while the other three can

Astral☆Imagery

(my cotton candy girls)

With Saki newly out of the hospital, she wants to catch up on as many things as she can and what better way to do that then to start hanging around the amusement park for a bit. Emu notices her being upset after none of her childhood friends come with and decides to cheer her up with a show. Saki decides to help Emu out in return and later asks Airi if she wants to join after finding out about her breaking away from the idol industry. Mizuki gets involved when Emu decides she wants a new costume designer.

Airi decides theater acting can't be all that different from being on stage and wants to bring hope to people, but she's soon reminded of all the skits she would be forced to perform, while Mizuki is left wondering if this is the image they want for themselves

Chronic/Ally

(stupidly proud of this group name)

Kanade still posts her music online, but Honami is a bit more involved this time after admitting she used to play the drums. She sticks around with Kanade more often when Kanade insists that she could use the extra sounds in making music. While Touya may have stopped practicing classical music, he hasn't completely broken from his fathers hold just yet to start singing. He takes to scrolling online when he comes across one of Kanade's songs and decides he wants to get back into composing for a bit. A similar situation happens with Haruka after she decides she can't be on stage anymore, except she still posts her singing under an anonymous name

They start forming a group after Kanade starts taking notice of their works and wants them to join her and Honami even if they don't want recognition at the moment

Euphoric Echoes

After Saki's hospitalization, Shizuku becomes increasingly worried about Tsukasa's increase in independence, which eventually leads her to find out about Ichika's when she starts to leave the idol industry on her own. She then starts seeing the same signs in Mafuyu after she meets her and decides to try one last time at inspiring hope in people.

They take a softer, acoustic approach to music with Tsukasa's piano and Ichika's guitar. Mafuyu still writes lyrics for Shizuku to sing. It's a little difficult to always meet up though with Mafuyu's mom, so Mafuyu tries to take advantage of either tutoring Ichika or Shizuku's popularity to get out of the house a bit more

Playhouse Collective

Rui has completely given up on trying to act like a 'normal' person and has elected to start taking the night classes where he occasionally runs into Ena. One day, Minori and Kohane are passing through when they notice on of his guerilla performances. With Minori facing another rejection letter, Kohane tries to encourage her with inspiring hope to people elsewhere. Minori decides on hunting down Rui to ask if she could join him when he refuses her. Becoming inspired by him herself, Kohane becomes determined in helping Minori catch his attention.

After they become a trio and Minori gets the idea to start posting videos and streaming, Rui enlists the help of Ena with her social media experience. Ena hadn't exactly been planning on joining a theater/idol mix, but if there's a chance for her art to get attention then she's willing to consider to proposition

feeling a kind of way about how when GOLBetty claps her hands around simon to pick him up he doesnt even flinch. she could have squished him like a bug and he stays completely still. im obsessed with them

[stagefoureddiediaz]

Thinking thoughts about Abuela being back and with this backstory about her being taken in by charlatans and Eddies whole catholic guilt thing and how the two things kind of play into one another as an exploration of faith and being taken in by something.

Abuela giving all her money to the tarot card readers etc because she was searching for something - for connection (with Abuelo) - trying to recapture what she had lost, and How Eddie has spoken about trying to re-find the magic he had with Shannon - how Eddie hasn't actually fully reconciled the Shannon of it all when it comes to relationships and how his Catholic guilt connects into that.

How Marisol as a physical representation of Catholicism is part of that narrative - how Eddie is entering a place where he has to chose his path - in order to move on from Shannon he needs to fully square the hole - catholic or non catholic. And how that needs to happen first - before he can begin his queer journey!

romances are more tragic when they never were and can never be and there isnt a grand confession or whatever. die in my arms and look deeply into my eyes and see how i wish things couldve been different but we say nothing and everyone will say we were just good friends

I just woke up and still the first thing in my mind is you..

"This is a love story. I never knew there were so many kinds of love or that love could make people do so many different things.

I never knew there were so many different ways to say goodbye."

Maggie Stiefvater, "Linger"

[i-bring-crack]

The world has not done me any better, been rrading 2ha and all i can think about is Ashborn/Antares as Jinhae brainrot:

In their past life Antares had a deep obsession with Ruler Ashborn and the same could be said for the ladder but Ashborn didnt know how to express much of his love and ended up hurting him even more as a result.

Antares wouldnt care for a single moment whenever or not he was constly hurt by how much Ashborn seemed to care for others more than himself or him, whereas Ashborn didnt seem to notice that Antares was deeply in love and tried to see just how far that love truly ran since he wasnt sure that a dragon, much less a fragment of darkness could actually love.

Unfortunatly when he ended up noticing that he had fallen to the dragon's undying devotion, he decided to distance himself and push him aside because Ashborn was more so devoted to the Absolute Being and though that all his faith might shatter if the two actually were to become lovers, since– thats not how they were designed, they are to be rivals not lovers, thats what his god wanted— and so when the time came he fiercely fought with Antares and left him to almost bleed to death.

This is when Antares realized that he should have never tried to chase any kind of love and started to realize thag Ashborn had never loved him in the first place, so from that day on he swore to kill everyone and become the most powerful being in existence so that Ashborn can die at his hands.

And die he did, but only to pass his powers to his sucessor.

Even when he standed a top the world as the strongest being, his new incarnation had killed him, and he swore he would one day destroy him.

But alas he somehow ended up in the body of a child of 12, maybe 13 something like that. It was a girl with no parents, no lineage, no story of her own except for having a strong physique, capable of holding the small remnants of his soul left and somehow still being mentally strong so as to fight off much of his horrible personality.

Thus with all the knowledge in the world about magic, in a world with none of it, and being the emperor of a now ransacked, brutally massacred and destroyed empire, he had no choice but to stay low and find a way to become just as powerful as before and this time destroy Jinwoo!

Since no one liked this girl as much to begin with, Anatres managed to blend his own ambitions with Haeins pretty well and become adapted into society for a good while until, shocker.

Just as he was about to train he was about to heal himself after exterting too much power in the young girl's body to win the race, his old enemy, lover and killer appeared right in front of him.

And yeah, that was definetly Ashborn, kind both in monarch and ruler form, but also with detached eyes watching everyone in the world like a lonesome god, alien to evrrything and at the same time not.

He looked as though he had been at the start of the universe, and at the same time he smiled like a little boy.

Jinwoo went on to heal her calf and Haein asked of him just how he did that, but deep inside other questions arose too, why are you here? Do you know me? What do you want for me? Do you want to kill me again? Hah! I wont let you. This time I shall be the one to send you to your own damn pits of slumber!

And Jinwoo of course replied innocently, not knowing the true soul behind this little girl as he said "Ill tell you everything if you have a race with me."

The weight it has the fact that Mr. Xiao gifts the Trailblazer the discarded part with the fragment about Yingxing's trial, knowing Yingxing was his master.

but also, the daughters of nyuuris all die in the manner of which they are born -- from how he created them is how they shall die and return to the earth.

for maria, being a flower meadow nymph, it means wherever her body drops, new blooms of wildflowers shall grow and spread and prosper. they will sprout from and around her body and engulf anything in their path for however far. her body will then turn to stone, and be overgrown by the new blooms. like a statue. like a memorial. though a name unknown to most, a statued figure unfamiliar.

not trying to get at this person specifically and to an extent i understand that this movie could be polarising but anyway none of that is impt i just. i know i rage on letterboxd one liners so often but this is the disease of star power and let me be clear i suffer from it as much as anyone but this concept of person > character (by which i mean: celebrity character created by media maintained by audience and made personal by fan > story and functional element of the media engaged with) is crazy. it's fucking crazy. can't exactly remember who started this trend but wasnt it that shakespeare actor in the 18th/19th century who put special effects in his costume anyway he was a bitch and when you get to heaven you can tell him i said so

Armored Ventus Nightmare has a wide stance and wields the Kingdom Key threateningly in its left hand. Aqua’s helmet rests on the ground, with Stormfall embedded behind it. Vanitas Remnant has its back to the viewer, clasping its hands behind its back and looking off to its right. In the background, two chains cross over each other in the shape of an X.

love & what’s left

[knavera]

the sheer adrenaline rush arlecchino got from the rivets of inky blood running down her skin, staining the white of her clothes, soaking into the ivory jewelry. the snow beneath her feet bloomed red and she grinned, running a tongue along her fangs. the man before her kneeled, the hole in his chest pulsing and bones snapped easily under her fist.

the still beating heart in her fist was warm and she reveled in it. she took a step over the body, feet crunching in the freshly fallen snow, leaving the body to feed the earth and leylines. the glowing flowers led the way to the clearing, to the moon.

the dark desire in her heart bloomed slowly, the heart in her fist held tighter, blood vessels bursting, further staining her. but she continued forward, dark eyes set on the goddess that lounged in the throne of nestled roots and animals. her goddess.

arlecchino's lips twisted into a grin and once her feet touched the edge of the clearing, she fell to her knees, pressing her face to the forest floor, breathing in the damp earth, the fertile soil, listening to the forest around them.

arlecchino was proud.

that was a given. anyone who knew the harbinger would tell you that first. arlecchino rarely bowed. but the goddess who watched her from her throne was one she would bow to time and time again. keeping the heart safe, arlecchino crawled to the knees of celina, risking a glance upwards --- blessed to even gaze upon the divinity before her.

worship. arlecchino worshipped celina, the goddess of the night, the moon of teyvat. arlecchino offered the heart, body stripped of any other god, her title of fatui and harbinger left to rot with the corpse half a mile away.

❛ my goddess . . . the heart of those who defiled your land. ❜

I don't want to do what'll make me happy. I want to do what'll be memorable.

People who draw Craig Tucker as a Hogwarts student, that’s fine.

People who draw him as a Ravenclaw are wrong and need to be stopped. Like I know his color is blue but just give him the hat and some green robes. He is not a Ravenclaw, he is a Slytherin.
