Prompt 81

Danny blinked at the small children Ellie was holding the hand of, looking quite proud of herself. The small children- between ten and twelve so somewhere similar to Ellie’s age- who both practically stank of magic and Gods. 

He took a deep breath, pinching the bridge of his nose even as Dan cackled while opening the door more to let them inside. “Alright, what’s your name, kids?”

“B-billy…um, Billy Batson...” “‘m Percy! Percy Jackson.” 

“Nice to meet you two- any idea where in your family you have a god or two, because one of you definitely smells like Zeus and I’m pretty sure Poseidon and I am not dealing with either of my half-brothers.”

once again thinking about the worldbuilding in the riordanverse of "names are power" / "belief is power."

The Tri were only able to become immortal through convincing enough people to worship them that it became true. Monsters and immortals only exist through continued belief, and if enough people believe that they're dead or gone then it becomes true, like Pan. Their varied forms exist and manifest as they're believed in and called upon. Names call attention and epithets summon aspects. They're acknowledgement. Belief. Putting a name to a concept creates it as an individual.

And that's so fascinating when you start applying it to demigods. How much of their abilities are based on belief in themselves, in expectations of each other, in their parents' expectations of them? We've seen mortal figures who became immortal in some form or another because they were remembered. Even the lares - ancestral house gods, who persist because they're remembered. They have a legacy.

At what point does a demigod achieve that status? Rumors and whispers about them so persistent that they slowly become true. "I heard that Jason Grace is the son of two gods, does that make him a god?" "I heard Percy Jackson defeated a titan single-handedly. That he can create hurricanes without breaking a sweat. That he can control blood." After awhile, after enough rumors, does it become impossible to tell where they end and the legends begin? Isn't that what being a demigod is; half-legend?

#pjo #riordanverse #analysis #i went a little prose-y there at the end but i am THINKING THOUGHTS #imagine being a demigod and knowing your EXISTENCE is slowing becoming warped because of others' perceptions of you! #Jason living on a pedestal his entire life and worrying so much that one day he's going to bleed ichor and his fate will be sealed #Percy recognizing that his powers are growing beyond his previous limits in ways that don't seem natural. don't seem right. #and he realizes what's happening and just has to hope the whispering quiets down and the rumors are forgotten so he can live a normal life #also the potential for demigod existential horror #becoming aware that You as a concept is slowly shifting. twisting. to match the perception others have of you #how TERRIFYING is that? like obviously it'd probably only go to an extent for most demigods cause half-mortal #but their powers? etc? SCARY #Percy being aware that his powers are becoming warped and trying to dissuade gossip about himself so it returns to normal #Nico who the more he's welcomed into the camps the more he finds himself being essentially declawed #his rough edges slowly worn away. his powers weakening and becoming less frightening. is it worth it? #and how difficult must that inherently make it for him to allow himself to be known? #and again. shaking Jason petrified that CJ is going to accidentally believe him into immortality. his worst nightmare.

Kathryn Janeway - "The Fates"

The Moirai of Greek myth. The youngest, Clotho - the spinner who controlled life, choosing when a person was born and weaving their thread of existence. The middle one, Lachesis - the allotter who measured out the length of this thread and decided a person's destiny. And the eldest, Atropos - she who was inevitable that ended a mortal's life, cutting the thread and choosing the manner of their death.

#Star Trek #Voy #Kathryn Janeway #art #star trek voyager #voyager #I haven't made a fandom edit in a VERY long time #but I couldn't get this concept out of my head #I tried to include things that sort of worked with each Fate #Janeway taking Tom out of prison #freeing Seven from the collective #and taking on the Maquis after destroying the caretaker #AKA she's deciding how the crew are “born” in their new lives #then the “measuring” and deciding of their destinies as she nurtures and guides them #a mentor to Naomi and as a friend to the Doctor #acting as a sort of mother-figure for B'Elanna and Kes #and then Future! Admiral Janeway as Atropos #deciding how their fate will END #and refusing to allow HER future to happen #because she decided that Tuvok's illness wasn't an acceptable end #nor was the death of Chakotay and Seven #and Harry is right there with her #helping her to make sure that THIS ending won't happen #anyways I'm Obsessed hope this all makes any kind of sense #ALSO making edits with grainy old 90's footage is SO HARD

Chapitre 207 - The Evolved Manifestation (Or, from the fantranslation: Evolved Incarnation)

Splash text: Time moves slower than usual, until the new dawn comes

In which we have: cute!

Last time they were in Koryo, and this this time we’re in Hanshin! I would recognise that two-toned hoodie anywhere. 

And I LOVE what that means. How, right here at the end, we’re getting a little parade of cute moments between Sakura and Syaoran throughout all the different arcs we’ve survived to get to this point. It’s a bouquet of moments where we can see their bond growing across the series, and a tour for the reader through all the storylines you can briefly think back on and remember before Tsubasa finally concludes. 

But also! A small gathering of the various memories of the different worlds Sakura has been in, since that was what Evil Wolverine wanted from her all along. 

But also also! A sadder tinge to this sweet memory knowing that these two people don’t exist the same way anymore - Syaoran’s soul is unconfirmed, and Sakura is kind of dead twice over. Perhaps this is a memory that is entirely lost to time, but maybe it’s not! We just don’t know yet. 

And until we do know more, we can think back on Syaoran smiling as he checks on Sakura as she sleeps through the entirety of the Hanshin Republic. 

#AND NEVER GETTING A KUDAN #You could get a lot of mileage out of the fact that there are bars outside the window #Because it IS how the hanshin windows were yes absolutely #But also the metaphor of how This looks to us now #A nice memory caged and locked away #A relationship imprisoned and never allowed to flourish #their fates trapped in a way they that doesn’t allow them freedom #But at least they enjoyed the moments while they could #Liveblogging the reservoir chronicle #Vol 207 #Tsubasa #Syaoran #Sakura #The obstacle course my feelings go through #Knowing that Syaoran MIGHT still remember this moment #As he stands across from the Tsubasa Family and fights them on Evil Wolverine’s behalf

y'all know the 'and i love you so much i'm gonna let you kill me' line from that one florence + the machine song but i just can't stop thinking about it. like it is the ultimate anders line. the ultimate handers line.

you know, anders's life is (was) about running. he's good at it. he invented new ways to escape for every occasion. he got rid of fereldan templars. he kinda got rid of the wardens. he stayed out of kirkwall templar's sight for years. he could kill people and abandon duties and get away with it because it was what he knew the best.

and then he did something that would shake the world. something that people would demand his head for. before they had demanded it for who he'd been born. and then they got the reason that could not be denied. and he didn't run.

no way that he couldn't. kirkwall was burning and panicking, he could mingle with the crowd and disappear and leave no tracks behind but he didn't. he stayed and he wholeheartedly believed that hawke would kill him.

he was waiting for his coup de grâce. he would rather die by the hand of someone he knew and loved than by the hand of the people he was successfully running from because they hated him and he hated them. more importantly, once he had taken the life of his first love because there had been no hope for him, no salvation.

and he believed there was no hope for him now as well.

(and if hawke doesn't kill him he's so inspired. he's eager to fight because he doesn't want to die. he still has so much to do and now his life is finally completely his, because the first time he doesn't run he's spared. instead of a brand of tranquility or another year of solitary confinement or a knife in the back, he gets to know that there's someone who loves him so much they won't give up on him. they won't become his silent judge and this is the way they save him: not by denying his ideals, not by stopping him from fighting for his cause, but by letting him know there's still hope)

#can all of this happen on a non-romance route? yes and i love that. but i have an odd habit of making everything about handers #on an unrelated note i want to mention that this line of thought happened because i was thinking about my other ship #and they fit this line nicely as well. but it's not that good because there's so much about anders and allowing someone to decide his fate #he was craving freedom all his life! he was fighting against people who were trying to decide for him against his will! #and he was getting away with so much! even all of his suffering in the kinloch would be worse if irving didn't have a soft spot for him! #and then he entrusts his whole life to one person! and he believes they will offer him no mercy! #and all of this because he loves them! because he looks up to them! because they're his one bright light in kirkwall! this is SO SICK #handers #anders #dragon age

Sometimes I think about wether Toritsuka really has privacy like ever?

I mean ghosts kinda perpetualy watch people and they're basically everywhere, but he actually knows they're watching, if he wanted to do something kinda awkward or the like he probably couldn't just shoo them away, just had to do it with company, on full display all the time

I think this also reflects in his attitude towards Saiki being able to read his thoughts, giving full honesty 'cause Saiki will know anyway, he's already sorta used to that

#toritsuka reita #saiki k #The guy's rarely ever been alone anywhere anytime ever #Like in contrast to Aiura who finds out and is like 'better keep my thoughts in check' #And Aiuras mostly used to knowing #Like her powers are all about knowledge #Being able to gauge personality from auras #Being able to see the future and measure likelihood and all that Jazz #Her powers give control and certainty to a degree #She comes looking for her soulmate shes intent on helping all she can #She knows fate and can play with it a little for best possible results #But its still fate shes still following the destiny cause its meant to be thats the shit that gets to decide how your life goes #You're just allowed to change it as best as you can #And once again Most people aren't bothered by this because they don't know but she knows #She has to roll with the punches yknow #So of course the attitude to mind reading with her is accept and control as best as possible

so, the most recent novel i managed to actually finish writing, three long years ago, was the book of my absolute lifelong dreams and most of the time i just leave it sitting on my computer and pretend it doesn't exist because i feel too tenderly about it and i'm too proud of it and it's agony to me. these feelings are, for whatever reason, unbearable hell. but like once a year i work up the courage to reread it, and every time i'm like, "god DAMN! who wrote this?? this is exactly what i've wanted to read my whole life!!!!!!! it's simply delightful!" and then i remember that oh yeah, it's me!

#i feel like i should vow to try to query this thing like 50 times just because i love it so much and i owe it to my own love of it #and then when i get rejected because it's 155k and that's insane (but it NEEDS TO BE!) i can at least say i tried #i don't get what it says about me that i wrote the book of my dreams and now i'm too embarrassed so i pretend it doesn't exist #instead of trying to get it published #as it is apparently my lifelong goal to be a published novelist #why is my brain wired this way!??!?!?!?! #i think i'm just too scared that everyone else will hate it and it will hurt my feelings too much because it's so me #it is truly and completely my sweet little baby #and it has the same word count as jane austen's emma which i only discovered after i finished writing it #fate!!!!!!! #dollsome's deep thoughts #it's my birthday so i'm allowing myself this really self-indulgent post #getting older and still never being a (non-self-) published novelist: the story of me

i know that infertility is something that’s really hard to deal with for a lot of people, but i mean it from the bottom of my heart when i say people who get really jealous and mad when someone close to them gets pregnant are truly the people who are least qualified to be parents. full stop.

#truly the fact that this kind of nonsense is not just tolerated but capitulated to is just sexist #women are allowed to have unchecked emotional responses that no one can criticize as long as it’s about babies #because of course a woman who can’t have children is experiencing The Worst Fate and we should all feel sorry for them #and any and all behavior in response to the situation is Fine because Can You Imagine How Horrible??????

just finished rereading the pjo books and I'm going to need a couple business days to process this like...your telling me what saved the world was his little sister looking up at him and telling him he promised her they were family. His little sister looked up at him, bloodied and broken and crying, and he realized he was just continuing the cycle in his rage. That he'd need to put a stop to what he'd set in motion, that he's wrong, that this isn't how he breaks the cycle. And then he kills himself because that's the only way for his sister to live.

And when the Fates carry his dead body out of the throne room his father stops them, pulls away the shroud and kisses him gently with all the love he was never allowed to show him before, because finally the cycle has been broken. Too late for the hero, but perhaps not for the rest of his family.

It's fine, I'm fucking great

#pjo #pjo spoilers #like his death scene was good but then Hermes stops the fates and I don't know why I just started bawling like. his son is dead and only #now is he allowed to be tender #percy jackson and the olympians #the last olympian #also the book being named after hestia. hope is tended best at the hearth. perhaps love will save us. because that's all there is #what the fuck rick

“No.”

“What do you mean, ‘no’, Assassin?”

“I mean what I said.”

Kirei should be mad. Should feel ire, should feel slighted at the fact that his Servant, a mass of mana who donned flesh and blood like a costume and was bound to him, was defying him. And yet, he feels nothing. Not even exasperation as the red-haired man before him flipped through a magecraft text sitting on the table before them.

When Kirei summoned Assassin as his Servant, he would be lying if he stated he hadn't been he had been expecting dark cloaks and a masked face, like every other Assassin from the Grail Wars recorded before. Instead, he got something… loud and garish.

Something red.

Assassin was not a typical assassin and refused to give his name.

Red clothes, red hair, red makeup, and Chinese in origin… he couldn’t place them— but he knew he was not one of the many hashashin who had come before him.

Granted, Kirie's… grasp on Chinese Assassins was lacking. He could name a few who were important to history, but there was no way this one was any of them. Too flashy, too comfortable in a modern atmosphere, and he had laughed when Kirei asked if he was the famed Jing Ke or Yan Qing.

And rather loudly at that.

Assassin was something of a mystery, despite his loud appearance and actions. The Servant was much bolder than one would think an Assassin would be, actively moving about the Tohsaka house before Tokiomi summoned the Archer Gilgamesh. So much so that Rin had asked Kirei about the “Redheaded Mister” more than once because he would help Aoi with cooking and she liked his cooking.

Again, another weird point that tied back to that ease of comfort in a more modern world. Assassin easily navigated the kitchen stove and radio— and while he knew that Servants were granted knowledge of the Modern world from the Grail, it was still odd. The familiarity wasn't that of a man who knew in the sense of having been told, but one who moved with the sense of having used one before.

Nonetheless, the fact remained that Assassin was a mystery despite how much he interacted with ease and talked to the Tohsaka family and him. Kirei would've assumed that, because of that, the Servant would have no qualms, however. It wasn't as if the man got attached— had he?

“What you’re asking of me is something that is… distasteful,” Assassin continued, seemingly unaware or perhaps uncaring that Kirei was at a loss. “I may be an Assassin but I am no idiot, though you might be."

Dark eyes met his own, reflecting the candles that adorned the walls. He was deadly serious, Kirei realized. And again, he was startled at the sheer amount of nothing he felt. He should feel annoyed, at least a little bit.

Tokiomi’s plan was already falling apart.

“Are you not my Servant?” He found himself asking and Assassin snorted, closing the book with a snap.

“You might be my Master, Kotomine Kirei, but that’s in name only. I will consider your orders, and ruminate on them, but that is all. If I act or not is my choice and mine alone,” Assassin said simply, not looking at Kirei again as he set the book down. “Feel free to use your command seals, though I can assure you, there’s only so far that will take you in this war."

#also ive never written FZero Kirei before I have no idea how he'd act in this situation but I bet he's baffled #local priest has issues regulating and feeling emotions until Chinese assassin calls him stupid more news at 12 #Li Shuwen said 'actually this is stupid and so are you' #'hey assassin kill him' 'uh nah' 'tf u mean nah' #this is a somewhat canon plot point but Li Shuwen (Lancer) can apparently resist command seals to an extent #we dont get to see how much of an extent that is in Fate/Koha Ace because Caren gets injured and thus izo broke the promise he made to Li #so Li was allowed to attack then #however he resisted Caren's order to attack despite Li Shuwen promising he would not so long as Izo and his Master promised not to harm her #fate #fgo #fate grand order #fate zero #wip #li shuwen #kirei kotomine #fgo li shuwen #fate extra #fate extella #Never Meet Your Heroes AU

here's some sketches of Jailbroken AU, AKA the chronicles of 'what if a Deltarune modder got creepypasta-style isekai'd for trying to hack their Kris and now they're stuck in a get-along shirt with a depressed teen while the world's most ineffective .exe tries to knife them every 2 seconds.' there's two Krises and that makes it a Krisis by default!

it's also got an overarching plot in there somewhere probably

Bonus: Kris (and their Player) find the point(s)
