#wind rustling

[reecedarlene]

Mature Enough to Call Myself Out

The issue isn’t that I don’t know what I want

The issue is that I know what I want so intensely

It tastes like copper on my tongue

It smells like a home cooked meal fresh from the oven

It sounds like the wind rustling the leaves on trees in my backyard

It feels like the comfort that can be shared within a family

It looks like a full and happy home

The issue isn’t that I don’t know what I want

The issue is I keep taking the wrong paths to get there

I keep asking the wrong people to help me build it

The issue is that what I want requires a team effort

And I was raised with quite a work ethic

The issue isn’t that I’m too insecure to ask for it

The issue is that I’m too insecure to stand up for myself

I don’t like walking away from things

I don’t like feeling like a failure

I don’t like looking like a liar

I don’t like being considered a quitter

I stick around until it hurts

Until I’m convinced my life will never truly start

Certain my dreams will never come true

When it’s the darkest

That’s when I have to find the dawn

I apologize for the wreckage

But the issue isn’t that I don’t know what I want

ONCE AGAIN THERE IS MORE TENSION BETWEEN THE PRINCESS AND HER BASTARD BROTHER THAN THE PRINCESS AND HER DULL BODYGUARD LOVE INTEREST. Targ nation up 1000

[akkivee]

so lol, i kinda and finally listened to the jyushi and hitoya drama track that came with noctiluna (i am working lol) and it was adorable lol, jyushi and hitoya rode their bikes out to the sea and had a lovely time 🤗

and so i’m sure hearing that the jyushi hitoya drama track was them going to the ocean immediately set off a lot of alarm bells, ik it did for me LOL but the track also went out of its way to explain that jyushi had wanted to go with kuukou as well, but he was mysteriously unavailable, much to jyushi slight frustration, and y’all gotta understand that the second round of manga drama tracks have hinted at developments that happened in this current track drop i’m so terrified the bat drama track might have something to do with the ocean bro 😭😭😭

The ‘Submarine’ soundtrack gives me the amount of comfort as a fuzzy blanket and warm bowl of soup.

The clouds have formed a blanket

And the winds have made their debut,

It is unnaturally warm tonight, though -

Warmer in this late-night dusk

Than it was at high noon

Dried leaves crinkle as they blow,

Recently uncovered

From the melting ice and snow

The window is wide open

But the only sound is gusts and rustles,

No birds, no dogs, no passing vehicles

Something is about to begin

Or maybe it is about to end

But something,

Something is definitely going to happen

Me, squinting at the tv a few minutes into 2x03 at Buttons in the background bc it looks like he's trying to do something with the spells Auntie gave him in the last episode:

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS, YOU DEVIOUS LITTLE MAGIC MAN?!?!?!?!

+I just gotta say, I know everyone’s been saying stuff about about “Where’s Ed?” in the high def photos that dropped, but we already saw clips so I know he’ll be there somehow. BUT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT BUTTONS! WTF IS THAT CRAZY SEA WITCH UP TO?!?!?! Bc the only photo we got that he’s in, is him standing next to Stede and he hadn’t even changed out of the Red Flag’s uniform whereas everyone else seems to have gotten somewhere back to or closer to their original styles…

I haven't spotted him anywhere in the promo that dropped yesterday, I haven't spotted him anywhere in the teaser for 4&5 that showed after episode 3- But what we do see, the very first shot of that teaser, is of a seagull flying away from The Revenge into the night sky.

What if... he ACTUALLY transforms and goes back to The Red Flag to communicate with the Auntie or something???

I was originally on team "It's so silly and fun that they are playing with the idea that he's seriously a magic user. Haha, very funny guys." Bc shows often like to hint at things like magic or a divine power, but don't often actually canonize those things. But Buttons might legitimately be doing something insane... I cannot wait.

Sunset Died - Michael & Peter

Trip for two (Part 3)

Cutting down trees is often a great way to vent frustration. This is how Michael copes with his grief over his parents. He thinks about the past and also about the future… Perhaps Peter will be a good partner for him… But first he would like to get to know everything new even better.

Michael came back with a big load of firewood. "Oh crap, now I've dropped something…" / "Don't move, otherwise you'll really fall on your face and I'll have to take you home before our trip has really started" / "Oh man, thanks, I shouldn't have carried so much…".

The boys found the odd tree stump in the area. Witnesses to the time when people gathered wood to rebuild their houses. "Xander probably thinks I'll make a fire with a piece of wood and a branch, zz"/ "I still had the lighter from my dad"/ "yeah, it's much easier.". A old blanket was placed in front of the tent so that they wouldn't walk in with dirty feet.

When the work was done, they sat down together around the campfire. Michael looked into the flames for a few minutes while Peter watched him. At some point, Michael noticed and gave him a smile. "Thanks…"/ "For what?"/ "That you're doing this with me… I don't think Ethan felt like doing it, he's rather be at home all the time helping his mother with organizational things". Peter poked at the firewood for a moment and smiled back. "I promised you."

"I hope you didn't just come here out of pity for me…"/ "Bullshit, Micha, I'm here because I want to be here, okay? Man, our house is gone and we more or less live in a bunker with only one room above it, where we spend most of our time, at least when we're at home… And it's really boring…"/ "I can imagine. I'd rather have my own room again too".

"Wouldn't you have the space for it upstairs?"/ "No, not really. It couldn't be rebuilt according to the original floor plan. You had to rebuild everything provisionally… But one day… I want to build my own house. It doesn't have to be huge, but… I want to be able to say I've done it, it's mine"/ "I can understand that."

"I think I'll do it that way too" / "well, we could… do it together". Michael didn't look at him, but had his eyes fixed on the flames again. It was almost as if he was afraid of the answer. "O.k., why not"/ "yes? I mean… O.k…."/ "hnhn. School's about to start again here, what do you think about it?"

Michael shrugged his shoulders. "In principle, a good thing… At least for the younger ones…"/ "hehe, you quickly get used to not having any more lessons, don't you? But hey, at least it gives us a chance to graduate after all"/ "and who's going to teach us for the last year?"/ "Rumor has it that it's either Mrs. Landgraab or her husband"/ "fff, no thanks, neither one, they're not good teachers"

"No, that's true. And if you could choose, who would teach us?". Michael shrugged his shoulders again. " I don't care, I can actually do without a certificate. .There is no one left who could be proud of me…."/ "hey, that's not true.". Michael looked down sadly for a moment, because now he was thinking about his mother again, who would probably have been bursting with pride if her son had come home with a good certificate. He shook himself a little and rubbed his arms…. "Are you cold?"/ "A little…".

Peter went to his backpack and took out the warm jackets. These were also both his, so he could confidently hand over the second one. "It's a bit lined, I hope you get warm quickly"/ "hnhn, you look after me like I'm a child"/ "is that what you think? Hey, I just want you to be okay, ok?". Michael sighed a little as he looked at him "h-hh, I know… thanks"/ "didn't you want to catch a rabbit?"/ "Tomorrow morning, not today".

"Besides, what do you mean you wouldn't make anyone proud? I think it would be great if the two of us could at least hold something like a certificate in our hands. Then we could leave here and start again somewhere else"/ "would you really leave with me? You know I won't leave my sister alone"/ "then we'll wait until she's 18, OK?"/ "hnhn… OK. But now I'm hungry". Peter grinned and hugged him tightly again. Gradually, Michael got used to these loving touches, they made him feel safe.

I, um... maybe-!

yes Japan is awful in the summer and so hot you'll drown in a pool of your own sweat but something about being in nature with the cicadas buzzing around you is literally magical
