They literally have so much potential in interactions and I refuse to be told otherwise. Like. You want. You wanna tell Demyx focus for five minutes. While. You have playing cards as a weapon and you MUST make your cards appear every conversation to have a thing to do with your hands or else you die.

Luxord is one of the funniest characters in KH and that's saying A LOT cause (gestures at the cast).

Luffy not knowing about Zoro promising Sanji to kill him if he ever ends up losing himself makes me go feral because that's something they can only know about. Because Zoro's respect for life and death goes beyond anything, and Sanji knows he understands. Sanji knows that if somebody has to kill him, it's him.

And I don't even think it's because Sanji assumes Zoro's opinion of him is hatred and it would hurt less for him to do this, but because Sanji knows only Zoro would be able to treat the promise as it is. Because he would put Sanji's wishes before any feelings he has for him. It's not that Zoro doesn't care, but I think he respects people's ideals and decisions to the extent of being able to kill Sanji if he so desires.

That being said, he'd do it if there's no other way to fix it. If it's either dying or living as an emotionless machine, which is the same as dying for Sanji, Zoro would fulfill his promise. And there is just... Something about Luffy not knowing. Their captain. The man they're devoted to the most as if he were their God. Luffy doesn't know. It's something only the captain's wings are aware of and the thought of these two keeping this from Luffy until the end is just insane. Not even trying to make it romantic here, but the bond and respect these two have for each other is crazy.

Maybe it's the poetry of it all, too. Somebody like Zoro, who has looked at Death in her face multiple times and said "no", ending Sanji's life, who wants to give in to death to not experience a fate worse than death for him.

Ouh. I really like how out of all the antagonists in the series, Prism's motivations (and her turning to Zoraxis) are directly influenced by Phoenix's track record. She has the most personal beef with the agent, though it's a little ironic that her TK implant helped the agent's success. If it weren't for Prism, Phoenix wouldn't be the legend that they are known for.

...Except...That's minimizing Phoenix's own ingenuity and skill with the implant, isn't it? It's a useful tool, yes! But in the end, it's just a tool. Phoenix was able to use it in unique ways, and that's not counting whatever else Phoenix has to do in the moment without TK. If it weren't for Phoenix's own efforts (and their strange ability to not Die), Prism wouldn't be forced to take revenge.

They're their own self-made people, but inevitably they left such a huge impact on each other before the third game...and if Prism wasn't the one who personally added the implant in Phoenix's head, then they haven't even interacted in person!

It could be seen as a little tragic, and it sorta is--Prism's desire for revenge is a little misplaced (and, yes, it is bolstered by Zor when she switches to their side). For all we know, Phoenix never intended to be the villain in Prism's story. But Prism's frustrated and angry and devastated about being reduced to the One Project she made. She just wanted to make something bigger than herself.

And it's really nice to see Phoenix help her once she recognizes that Zor's been using her all this time...even if it takes some time for Prism to really let them help her.

It takes the combination of their unique skills, brainpower, and their eventual trust in one another to destroy Zor's volcano kinesium base. Prism gets saved by the person she thought made her dreams impossible, and in return, Phoenix gets saved in the one IEYTD ending where they're not declared legally dead. I feel like that's something interesting? Because this is also the one finale where Phoenix has an active ally working with them close to their side (...as close as Prism and Phoenix could get, anyway).

Well. Anyway. What was I talking about? Enemies who are closely intertwined with one another's journeys end up becoming each other's most important allies? Okay, yeah. Let's go with that.

It should be common decency to not tag art with the hermitshipping tag or the ship name when the op didn't tag it. Same goes for when op tags it with the shipping tags and someone comments something along the lines of "they're siblings <3"

Like I don't know how to tell you this but it's fucking weird.

If you dont see op tagging something as a ship? Don't tag it as that ship unless they specifically mention its okay or up for interpretation.

[comic of Yor and Loid from Spy x Family.  Yor says, “we need to practice kissing to avoid future suspicion” and Loid agrees.  They both look at each other, blushing, with words behind them (cut off by the art and panel) showing their thoughts. Yor is thinking about kisses on TV and that Loid has experience she doesn’t because he was married.  Loid is thinking about his mission and that he hopes this time will be less boring since he actually enjoys Yor’s company.  Yor reaches in, blushing, and pulls Loid in for a kiss.  They awkwardly press their lips together, then break apart blankly.  Yor smiles and says in confusion, “That’s it? Oh, I mean... that was-- easy?” Loid beams at her and says, “In my experience, yes! Great job, Yor!” the bottom of the page says “Normalcy achieved”]

Something or other regarding a PC who perhaps is instinctually about to rush in and hug or physically comfort Astarion post Cazador stabbing, only to be quickly held back, and when they turn around, confused or indignant, it's just Halsin holding their arm firmly in his hand. Protests die upon the tongue. He does not look at them, nor does he speak; he is watching the scenario unfold, stone faced, but something in his gaze is distant and blurry as through staring past a looking glass through to something hidden within, far far away from that moment - somewhere that can never quite be reached.

He knows that scream and sobbing all too well - he hears it still from time to time. An animal wounded, a crushing weight of mourning and anger and despair. The sound of something dying that may not ever fully come back, but needs to burn and burn and burn to make room for that which is to grow anew.

This is not the time. It was not the time then, either.

when the person you want to do right by more than anything to make up for what youve done to them before is also one of the worst triggers for your self-destructive relapse...... qpac and qcellbit you will always be famous

Get Back Up

Platonic(?) HoneyCorn drabble, 302 words.

Honeybee weaves across the roller rink like a salmon through a stream, fighting against the current for a chance to mate in the same pool it spawned in. Her twists flow and twirl behind her. She likes to call them leg warmers, though they suck at their job- they flutter in the breeze around her ankles. Her legs slide across the floor, knees twirling to the rhythm of the rink's music. Hits from the 80's: her favorites.

She rolls to halt at the edge of the rink, stopping with the toe of her skate.

Capricorn sits on the edge of the neon carpet, blue skates donned, perched nervously. (He's never skated before- maybe once as a child, only to fall and scrape his knee on the cul-de-sac's pavement.) 

He looks up at Honeybee.

Honeybee smiles. She holds out a hand to him.

It takes more effort to come to terms with how silly he'll look than it takes just to stand. Both hands grasp Honeybee's glove, squeezing as she helps him to his feet- which slip and slide in the skates along the waxed floor.

Honeybee laughs at him. "Ready to try again?"

Capricorn finds himself blushing, glancing to the floor, embarrassed. Honeybee pats his hands, glove soft and assuring.

"I'm not gonna let you fall this time," Honey promises.

Capricorn manages to push out a laugh, rolling his eyes. "No, I- Okay. I- I think I've got it this time."

Like nothing, Honeybee starts moving, rolling backwards. Still holding Capricorn's hands steady, guiding him to the whirlpool of skaters.

The song ends, and another begins, as Capricorn cautiously kicks her feet against the rink floor.
