< masterlist >
ajax, who uses the memory of the creator to get through the abyss. ajax, who clutches at a rosary teucer made for him, reciting the prayers he’s memorized since he was young to get him through the darkness. ajax who refuses to give up, who believes that his god will save him.
ajax who believes.
childe who still wears that rosary into battle, understanding now that he was meant to be stronger to save himself. childe who picked his weakest weapon to continue to be stronger in all areas, to continue to try and make you proud. childe who realizes that he hasn’t been forgiven when an enemy gets a lucky hit and cuts the rosary string, the wooden beads falling to the dirt.
childe who turns two of the beads, of the precious few unstained by blood, into an earring.
tartaglia who dedicates himself to his god from the shadows after their first interaction. tartaglia who remembers their expression and wouldn’t dare to force himself into their presence. tartaglia who takes it as a sign that he’s fallen from his god when he can’t feel their presence. tartaglia who works in the background, forcing himself to his limits to find the imposter. tartaglia who hopes for forgiveness at the least, please, he’ll do his best, please just give him a chance?
tartaglia who knows that even if he were to catch them, he wouldn’t be worthy of forgiveness.
tartaglia who stands over the imposter, water blade cocked under your jaw. tartaglia who’s high on what he assumes is adrenaline, his heart racing in his chest. tartaglia who looks down at you, wondering why you feel so familiar. tartaglia who doesn’t stop you when you resist.
tartaglia who wonders why he let you go.
childe who’s one of the first to recognize the fake, because he’s acutely aware of the hole in his heart. childe who puts together that the familiarity of you isn’t just because you look like the creator. childe who sits on his floor, staring at the earring in his palm.
childe who realizes what he’s done.
ajax who cries.

Another demonstration against Femicide and barely any media attention
Activists denounce 900 femicides under Macron presidency in Paris protest
Mared Gwyn Jones Fri, February 9, 2024
French feminist group #NousToutes took to the streets of Paris on Thursday evening to honour the 900 women murdered in France since Emmanuel Macron came to power.
Holding signs saying "guilty state, justice accomplice," they denounced Macron for failing to protect women and girls from violence.
Some 900 candles representing every woman killed were lit near the city's iconic Eiffel tour, and a 15-metre-long banner with the names and ages of the women was displayed.
It included the names of the 20 women, aged between 16 and 75, the group say have been killed since the beginning of this year.
#NousToutes say the frighteningly high numbers highlight an "absence of real political will" from the French government to tackle gender-based violence.
"Since President Emmanuel Macron took office, more than 900 femicides have been recorded and more than 1,000 children have been orphaned," they said in a statement.
They also say that the "great cause" of Macron's five-year term is conspicuous in its absence.
In November 2017, months after taking office at the Élysée Palace, Macron declared that equality between men and women would become the "grand cause" of his term, vowing to prioritise the crackdown on violence against women.
But Macron sparked fierce condemnation in 2020, when he appointed Gérald Darmanin to the post of Minister of the Interior.
Darmanin at the time faced allegations of rape.
Macron came under further fire earlier this year when he defended French actor Gérard Depardieu's right to be presumed innocent after he was accused of sexual assault.
In a further blow to his "grand cause", Macron has been blasted for blocking the inclusion of rape as an EU-wide crime in new EU laws to fight violence against women.
"Nothing has changed since 2016 and the start of our count, we have been at the same rate for eight years, with a woman killed every three days by her partner or ex-partner," Julia, not her real name, told the AFP news agency on Thursday.
The group say their femicide count helps raise public awareness of the gravity of the problem and put pressure on Macron's government to take action.
Macron became France's President in May 2017 and is currently serving his second term.

i was on the arrowverse wiki trying to find out when legends s6 started filming (bc i didn't remember) and i love this lil trivia fact
bc technically it is false in that during s2 the legends did screw up by going to 1942 when they weren't meant to BUT. that happened between the seasons. give them some credit where credit is due
