TW: Blood/Injury, Implied Death

_______________________________________________

With you

Lil one-shot I guess...??

_______________________________________________

After the dust cleared, it was dead silent. The air was thick with moisture from the dark clouds looming above them all. Someone, probably Raphael, yelled out something Two didn't quite process, his ears still ringing as his vision slowly cleared.

A faint blue glow flickered in the near distance, not too far from where Two was slumped on the ground. More muffled shouts rang out as Two attempted to collect himself, staggering to his feet and trudging over to the source of-

No.

Just the image alone was enough to bring Two collapsing back to his knees. Stupid, he thought.

"H-hey..." One's weak voice just barely got through to Two, snapping him right out of his thoughts.

He stared down at the dimming blue glow, watching it flicker and fade in and out. How the hell are you still here, breathing?

His thoughts became flooded in his head, even more so as he felt his arms cradle his brother's near-lifeless body.

"Did we win?"

Two felt his jaw clench at One's question, feeling frighteningly close to grinding his teeth until they were flat.

Did we win?

The question echoed in Two’s head, as if that would better help him process this moment. In any other instance, he would have deflected and scoffed at such an empty, meaningless question. Did it matter? he thought as he titled his head up, looking around briefly at the wasteland that surrounded them. It was over, that much was apparent.

"Yes,” he huffed, looking down at his brother in his arms as he continued, “Now, shut it and save your strength. Your heart-"

"I know," One croaked out in between a few sputtering breaths, interrupting Two in more ways than one. Two tried to ignore the cast-off of blood coming from his brother's mouth, despising the sickening feeling settling in his stomach as it hit his chin. One smiled weakly up at his brother, his eyes dull and unfocused.

How dare you, Two thought to himself.

His eyes flickered from One's exposed heart, bleeding out and hardly beating, and back to his brother’s face. His brother looked beaten, bloody...broken. It wasn't a look he saw from him often, if at all. It was that damn smile that he watched waver as One's heart beat softer and softer. What cruel irony, Two couldn't help but think, a metaphorical expression brought to life by his stupid, thoughtless, idiotic brother.

Two could still fix this. Even as he held his brother tighter against his own plastron and felt his shirt get soaked by the horrid mix of blood and empyrean; he thought to himself how he'd be the one to fix this.

There was no other choice left.

“Good…” One let out the softest of chuckles, “…we…we can s-start over.”

Something in Two’s own chest faltered, even just briefly. It was enough to shut out the feeling of One’s pathetic coughs and wheezes against him. He watched how One's eyes dulled further, his gaze wandering away from Two's face.

Starting over? That wasn’t ever an option, not one that Two had ever weighed in his mind. He wasn’t sure if that was even an option now. After everything he had done, everything he sacrificed, worked for…his brother still wanted to burn it, bury everything down and out of Two’s reach. One wanted this win, he wanted the impossible.

“Impossible…” Two muttered under his breath.

He heard yet another faint chuckle. And then the dense silence that followed.

[mihotose]

my recent playthrough i kept feeling like coffee was being mentioned Suspiciously often:

Evrart Claire - "We're not gonna give nothing. We're gonna *take* Terminal B away from them: the roads, the gates, the containers, that big crane... even the damn coffee maker. We're gonna take all of it for the people -- and *fuck* Wild Pines."

Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) - "Why not? I'll be here until 23.00, drinking coffee most likely..."

Rhetoric - The acrid smell of failure...

Electrochemistry - No, that's just slightly burnt coffee. A smell you would recognise anywhere.

Echo Maker - "I would commit war crimes for some real Saramirizian coffee."

and so on. so i check fayde and find this interaction telling you not everything is Something. fine i get it!!

TOO LONG, DIDN’T WATCH FOR

A Pit Stop In Hatchetfield

(The stream Starkid did last week)

I added all the lore drops in between the scenes, and some important info on future hatchetverse content. If I were you, I’d go back and watch all the nmt3 scene previews (1 scene from Bottle Imps, three from Miss Holloween)

[biscuitsnbee]

More Inara! Drew her throughout the Falling Stars story (its a comic? Story? Novel?) that ive been working on since 2020 with a couple of friends (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ Not sure if this will go anywhere, but we’ve been cooking 🔥

[rabideather]

I made an AU where Mr plant is the Sun (sun god??) and Argos a lonely mariachi player (w no band lmao) and Mr Plant takes a liking to Argos and like kinda gets a crush on him and so he likes blesses him and stuff but secretly Argos is also a god (god of death) but he doesn’t like being death so he tries to make a living as a musician and he’s just ignoring all his responsibilities but like I said Mr plant is the Sun god and he can see all the people who are suffering bc Argos isn’t doing his job and so HE HATES THE DEATH GOD bc all he hears is crying and wailing. (He doesn’t know Argos is a god) Also Argos in has a crush on Mr plant too.

(drawings underneath the cut )

I might just make a comic out of this but I probably won’t finish💔

How exactly does Henry hide his… more extreme side from MC? 👀

Well, he doesn't hide it that well (esp if you're super observant) but -

He does most of his...'work' at night, as you're more likely to be asleep + not around. Every moment otherwise Henry is glued to your side, so late night / early morning is when he gets around.

He makes faces when you're not looking. If you're talking to someone and said person glances over at Henry, they will be getting a murderous look. However, once you turn back around, his eyes are crinkled + his smile is back instantly. He's very quick with it.

Despite what you may think, Henry is very controlled in his emotions (especially the more strong ones). He could be in a very intimate moment with you + be his normal, 'friendly' self. You would have no idea he's going insane over the glimpse of skin beneath your coat, or a peek of your hip from your shorts.

He purposefully avoids dumping 'problems' near places you might go. (He made that mistake once, he's not doing that again).

♥️♠️ What's Your Username Lore?

Tagged by @ventiswampwater mwah mwah <3333

So my username lore kinda has two parts! The card themed url was loosely inspired by Harley Quinn. My favorite gal of all time! She's had a card suit theme going on for a while, so the choice to go with a card suit-themed url is thanks to her.

Getting into the specifics, though, my url is mainly an asexuality reference. Ofc there’s the whole calling asexuals "aces" for short, and I chose the nickname "Ace" partially because of that. The ace of spades is a symbol for the ace community, and the ace of hearts is often used as a symbol for romantic asexuals, which I am. And all that together formed “Ace of Hearts and Spades” (or “Ace of Spades and Hearts”, but I always liked the former better lol).

And so on October 2021, the blog "ace-of-hearts-and-spades" was born. It's been almost three slutty slutty years 🥂✨

Okay, so, I've been doing a lot of research on knights, ceremonies and what happens in them and HOW they happen and I immediately thought of Tarhos and Vittorio so under the cut is a lot of rambling and mostly just ideas on Tarhos and how he would have been sworn a Knight. 

It’s by no means canon, but I think it’s fun to look into :)! if anyone has any more fun facts or history facts let me know, I really try and be accurate as a writer. 

if i apply all my new knowledge - Tarhos seems like a late Knight who was sworn as such, for prestige and social status after many years without the title, since he was used as protection, this perhaps cost Vittorio money because becoming a Knight was extremely expensive so you’d have to really like the person to do it, especially at a late age. Tarhos would have had to be knighted between 16-18 years old for this to not make it ‘late”. Which maybe he was but seems unlikely to me. If he were born into Knighthood and was a squire from young, and had noble ties, as early as 12 years old, but he did not.

On who preformed the ceremony, he could have been Knighted improperly by a noble themselves, but these are usually more one on one, which could work but seems a bit unlikely in Tarhos’ case, unless him and Vittorio were even closer, which honestly... maybe.. Maybe it was improper and spur of the moment.

 The ceremonies would usually include one to two speakers who were Knights or Nobles, a squire who holds the pillow on which the knight kneels, and the sword. The kind touch of the sword on each shoulder (depending) is signified as the last not lethal blow of a sword that will ever be given that will not be retaliated in combat. The touches vary, can be once, twice, three times or the blade may hover overhead. There are even cases where they are slapped with a glove - which I think is a really funny visual but I know it’s like really serious.

So, the moment they are knighted they must not use their blade for any sort of low level punishment or brawl, if someone is to be taught a lesson or fought with non lethally the knight may only use his fists or more likely punish usually with a slap, once again, i love how serious being a knight is and i never realized that its such a high honor that yeah, they don’t deserve the blade for such a low level punishment i guess ? anyway it’s interesting. 

 There is a passage spoken by the speaker at the end who is doing the ceremony and if they have prior relationships with the Knight it may be personalized. This could be from what the noble wants form them, what they hope to see, or even promises and trust. I love the idea of Vittorio making this speech... it’s everything to me... anyway things to think about... 

With all this information, Vittorio hired Tarhos and almost definitely had Tarhos knighted for prestige, even more for status as he was Knighted late in life which is usually frowned upon... THEREFORE, As a knight of status and prestige his armor would have to be reflective as such - therefore it would have to match his status and it would have to look very nice to match the Noble who had sworn him in. Their armor would reflect the status of their lord and would show the wealth of them as well... anyway his skin with the blue accents and beautiful design is definitely Vittorio’s doing,  i see you mr. toscano -- i get it - 

so anyway knowing all of this is so cool to me, isn’t it interesting how like- and i’m aware most of this is headcanon/theory but i think it’s extremely easy to think Vittorio definitely had some hand in Tarhos’ late knighting, since mostly nobles would have to dish out a lot of money for ceremonies, and also that they were such a BIG status symbol after such because of the wealth !! so Tarhos must have been doing his job like really well ! Lol

none of this is canon, ive just been doing a lot of research for my fic but i truly think all this stuff is so, so neat :,) also it’s very cool to think of a one on one ceremony between Vitt and him but like probably not- but in my dreams.... 

anyway if you got this far and have more trivia or moreso more trivia on different knighting around the globe, more fun facts lmk! i got most of my information from articles and these two really neat guys on youtube so let me know if anything seems off!

also I did this theory instead of the Tarhos bird metaphor theory so... that one next maybe...
