"Don't get me started" no we're getting you started, ramble about some music you're really liking at the mo <3

tumblr user loudly--unladylike my beloved .,.. be warned this is rlly long n also just a lot of me going !!!!!! link to the album here

big tw for like. deep topics like death n panicking n such also this is such a long post im so sorry

ok :D background knowledge about the band n the album im gonna b talking about:

miracle musical itself was like... a music project started by one of the tally hall members !! it involves alot of other music artists too !!! they made an album n a single song!! both of those released in 2012 :]

the album is called Hawaii: Part II. there's not a part one and the band has even said theyr not making a part one.!! so that kinda sets the vibe ig. the songs don't have much correlation from first glance, even after taking a closer look they don't tell a story or anything that much !!! the thing the have in common is a mystical, often spooky, feeling (at least 2 me.) most of them have a nautical, sealife theme.

first note!!! both the first and last songs of the album start with the lyrics "alone at the edge of a universe, humming a tune-" which is like!!! continuity my beloved :]] it's also just a good lyric yknow

the first song is called Introduction to the Snow !! kinda a play on words of introduction to the show :]] it doesn't hav many lyrics but it sets the tone for the rest of the album!!! which is like... vaguely mysterious and dealing with the universe n how ppl feel kinda!

ok here's where i mention how the songs like. flow together!!! theres a variety, from the songs merging together with the same rhythms n such or a very sudden change !!!! its rlly cool n i like how there's both :)))

the second song is called Isle Unto Thyself! some of the first bits of this song rlly just ...,,., sets the vibe for the rest of the album!! the lyrics "know what cant be shown, feel what cant be known" is very releant as alot of the songs r abou tfeeling things n knowing things!! even if u cant see them !!! also banger ending transistion to the next song, tehres a buildup that transitions nicely !!!

the third song is Black Rainbows :D this ones one of my favorites!! there r two languages being sung in this one, hawaiian and english. both are singing about rainbows, which represents their love for eachother in the way of the colors and the feelings!! :D

- ok im realizing i forgot to talk about the uhhh album cover!!! it is in mostly greyscale, except for the rainbow text of the band name under the album name!!! it is an ocean with a full mon above, with overlaying images of palm trees, stairs, and a fish/monster with alot of teeth!!!! there is also what appears to be a whale or maybe plane in the backgrounf, sumberged inthe water!! to me it rll y just summarizes the mystery n like. wackyness of the album :DD

ok um back 2 the songs !!!! the forth song is called White Ball!! it tackles dealing with death in like... terms of a dance!! like a ballroom dance, at a ball! the most repeated lyric is "such impossible bliss" which. yeah. death yknow,,,.. it shows the beuaty of whatever the afterlife is. it also makes comparisons to space!!!

the fith song is called Murders! which to me feels like,, runnning away and the fear that causes? or someone gettin lost in a forest!! definetly feels like.. fear. espeacially the lines "tree falling no one would hear, shadow of nobody there" like. dude thats FEAR n yknow what i get it!!! forests can b fucking scary dude.

the sixth song is 宇宙ステーションのレベル7, which roughly translates to Space Station Level 7! this song is mostly japanese n french, neither of which i speak! so uh.,,., yeha!! bu t i do fukcign love the intruments-

oh ym gosh i forgot to talk abou tthe bacground intruments and music!!!!!!! its so good!! each song has its own little flairs and they all r just... wonderfulyl composed!!!!

now,,, the seventh song is The Mind Electric,.,. (tw for just like. idk dude its super grim the guy gets electrocuted) this one is like.. rlly haunting but its super good!! so the first half of the song is all in reverse, which sets up this like.. rlly eerie tone for the song. bc. u dont know whats going on at first! bc its all reveresd n u know the like... idk its creepy hearing ppl talking/singing backwards. from the halfway point, the song isnt in reverse any longer. dude,,, like the lyrics themselves? ouchies.... basically this guy goes to court for... somethin its not told- but uh basicallly he gets sent to an infirmary and ends up gettinf electrocuted bc his minds not in a good place. its super grim n honestly just... man,,,,,, i could explain more on this but itd probably b better as its own post tbh !!!

,,,the eighth song is Labyrinth! this one seems to b mostly about someone whos in this big.. personal struggle with love + relationships n feels trapped inhis own mind, hence the labyrinth.

the ninth song is Time Machine !! this ones pretty straightforward i think!!! kinda. this person feels like the wasted thier past and is sad and regretful. so they use a time machine!!! it feels like they are living the dream, right? but its lonely!! they begin to regret it. they realize they shouldnt waste their present.

the tenth song is Stranded Lullaby! lots of boat references n terminology here, the singer is looking for someone who they once lost, but cant seem to find them in the vast oceans of existence.

the eleventh and final song is called Dream Suite in Sea Major!!! this ones also one of my favorites !!!! this one rlly just wraps up the album. it tells the story of a sailor who gets lured in by sirens. it ends with a subtle nod to the album not being super easy to find with the lyrics "invisible to some until its time."

OK i probably did this way too much uhhh woo post finished im tired!!!!! i will explain more into some of these if ppl r interested :]]

#miracle musical #hawaii: part ii #death tw #fear tw #ask to tag !!! pls!!!!#pain tw #paranoia tw #grey answers!#loudly--unladylike #long post #ty for letting me ramble thats so pog #greys song recs #my analysis #this is analysis now cause i said so <3 #anwyays pls tell me if i missed a tag im srry !!!!!!

Compilation of all my inktober lil shadow monsters + their descriptions!

I am aware no one actually cares but im postin anyways biiinch

The weakest, most common form of shadow monsters. i believe all forms of the shadow monsters show up from this one kind. Theyre relatively easy to defeat, but be carefull not to be overwhelmed by their numbers!

One of the simplest forms of the shadow monsters, this one is a bit armored. Not very difficult to defeat, but theyre certainly stronger than the simple forms. be carefull because they come in numbers!

This aerial form didnt impress me at first, but they’ll divebomb and headbutt you mercilessly if you’re not carefull. watch out for their spikes too!

This brute definitely has the power to back up its looks, stay away from it, try to attack from behind or above. It might tackle or swing its arms if you’re too close, Watch out not to get whalloped!

Darn mimics. i thought it was just a chest, but it strung up and slapped me senseless. (reminder to double check every chest we find!)

This first boss was very intimidating, it was the unification of four armored shadow monsters united into one! arms, torso, wheel and head! you have to separate them to properly take them down.

what a strange creature, don’t underestimate it. it kept creating more small shadows from its head, you have to defeat it fast if you dont want to be overwhelmed!

This brawler usualy is solo, but dont overestimate it, its speed and punching technique is very efficient. watch out, when it starts a combo it’ll do some serious damage if you dont block or dodge!

These casters keep their distance from you while they cast magic. close the gap between you and them and they wont be much trouble, but get distracted and you might get zapped and burned!

This shell-like monster’s bite is quite strong, and it’s armor is tough. Wait for it to open its mouth and attack there!

This cute lil guy serves more of a distraction from other enemies than an actual threat, it gets harder to fight if bubbles are popping all around you. they might still try to kick you though, keep it in mind!

this fella is encased in ice, you have to break it if you want to do damage! watch out for when it slides, it might hurt your legs badly!

This cloudy monster is tricky, it has certain eletric powers, as well as it sometimes dodges by cloud hopping! try to keep your stamina when fighting these!

DANGER! this is an incredibly volatile monster! it’ll rushingly try to fly at you and explode! be carefull to hit it back or dodge it! they fly at you soon as they feel movement.

This driller really caught me offguard by attacking from below. wait for them to surface then beat them down fast!

hard to engage these without water or ice magic! keep your distance and dont let them touch you, they’re scorching hot and aggressive! luckly they usualy cant move far from lava pools.

This machine of war has more than one tool in its arsenal, keep moving when fighting it, try to use its slowness against it, try and attack from each side! its quite bulky, but you might be able to overwhelm it or even bounce its missles back at it!

this angelical monster isnt particularly aggressive, but it will buff and heal its allies if you dont deal with it, plus it can use light magic to harm you.

This demonic monster is quite volatile and twitchy, keep away and watch out for their flame bites! ranged attacks might be able to deal with them before their speed catches you off guard.

These flower monsters dont move from the spot theyre on, but they can still attack you with ranged orbs of poisonous goo.

This monster will attack very fast if you get close, it’s very agile and might dodge ranged attacks you use! you have to beat it at its own game and match its speed with your own!

This monster moves slow and isnt very offensive, but dont underestimate its defenses and counter attacks. be ready to attack them with everything you got!

This eerie wizard monster has mastery on many elemental magic, as well as the ability to teleport. It’s quite difficult to take down, beware of attacking it when there are others nearby, it’s best to single it out!

This monster is aggressive and fast, and its bites are nasty. its watch out for the tackles and kicks as well! the neck is its weak spot.

the smoke this monster is composed with it is very toxic-- you have to destroy the core producing the smoke to finish it, but luckly it cant to much to harm you.

These hands cant see, but they will grasp and try to drown you at the sign of movement. be ready to finish it if you get close!

Something is wrong with this one, it feels corrupted. it’ll constantly voimit that sludge, and slowly try to aproach and barf at you. luckly its not hard to beat.

This strange arcane rune monster seems to have control over various kinds of magic, even ones capable of slowing and stopping down time! luckly they move incredibly slowly, but their magic is the real deal.

This corrupted polycephalus will go berzerk if it notices you, watch out, its tackles and claws are not messing around. destroy every head to get rid of it.

Easily the strongest class of monster we’ve met so far, they’re big, are physicaly strong, and have many tools in their arsenal for a fight, such as breathing fire and ice, or causing great wind with their wings, or slapping you with their tail, as well as being very durable.

What in the world is this? its like many of the weakest forms of shadows fused into one flood of monsters that aggressively try to consume you. its best not to engage, unless you have a lot of magic to defend yourself.

Hello I'm having maiaphael feelings and you're legit the only person who I can SCREAM about them to. Jdhdhdgdgd do you think they would serenate to each other? Because I had the cutest thought of them cuddling beneath like 8 blankets because "Mr. I have to feel warm and toasty at all times" they just cuddle and softly sing to each other giggling while they forget the lyrics because they get sappy with each other.

omg!!!! yes!!!! jsnsisnsysbsusbsisn absolutely!!! also im wheezing @ warm and toasty ur so correct i accept nothing else!!

i think Raphael 100% secretly can sing, but Maia is the only one he actually sings to other than Madzie (Simon is a professional singer and thats intimidating, okay, and Meliorn isnt very big on being serenaded. Magnus and him sometimes hum or listen to music together but rarely sing). and like imma go to the blankets thing in a second because that is 100% adorable and i love it, but the image of Raphael serenading Maia.... using music to express how he feels about her.... inspired

this is not exactly a romantic song but I'm picturing like. sometimes it gets hard for maia, you know? like she puts so much work into her projects, into the shadow world, into improving the downworlder community, and there are still. people who snicker at her for her relationship with raphael. werewolves who consider her a traitor. racism from shadowhunters, constantly. and shes tired, because she's working so hard, with the pack and Taki's and the Council and everything, and sometimes it feels fruitless?? you know? and i just picture him singing creo en tí (by ana tijoux and juan ayala) (for non spanish speakers, that means "i believe in you")

things i love about this song:

it mentions anger and talks about anger being born of pain and fueling a fight that's about love, which in my humble opinion, FUCKS. it's really refreshing to see a song that validates anger, particularly anger that's born as a reaction to violence, and reminding that it's a fuel for change, and love. i love the positivation of anger in that and i think it could be especially meaningful for maia as a Black woman constantly fighting the "angry Black woman" stereotype

it talks about change and how it comes slowly but that's okay and how little things matter and changing the world begins at their own environment and small things, is a work that you do everyday, together

it's really soft and loving?? even if it's not a romantic song, it just has so much affection and love both for the person theyre singing to and just. the world, and humanity, and the change they want to bring in general

it tackles how hard it is to try to make change in the world and how even as you stumble and break down and fail, you're still worth believing in

Juan Ayala's part in particular is super soft and loving and I'm not gonna put the whole lyrics here (tho i super recommend that u check them out because aaaaaaa) but look at this lil part

En lo pequeño radica la fuerza

Con tu cariño yo caminare

Imaginando rutinas bellas

Para dar vuelta el mundo al revés

Empezar por nuestra casa primero

Romper con todos nuestros miedos

Ser consecuente

De cuerpo y de mente

Para alzar el vuelo por senderos nuevos

Porque tu luz cotidiana

Enciende la sonrisa que sale por la mañana

(Creo en ti)

Porque veo tu fuerza inexplicable

Esa justa dignidad inconmensurable

(Creo en ti)

Yo reafirmo que tu rabia proviene del dolor

Y tu lucha florece del amor

(Creo en ti)

Porque en ti, me veo yo

(Creo en ti)

I'm soft for that shit okaY. like all the love and support it expresses! the validation of her feelings and struggles and the reminder that shes still strong and worth believing in. the softness!! the part about her light lights up a smile in him... BECAUSE IN YOU I SEE MYSELF..... bro wait a second, wait a fucking second didndidndkdndk IM WEAk

but okay back to the covers part!!!!! I'm just ..... hmm hddhjd having all the feels for that, the both of them under the covers, singing, Maia teasing him because he's 100% a secret sap and loves dramatic soft love songs, while Maia... is eclectic i think but i can particularly picture her as both really liking hard rock and having a secret soft spot for disco, and no that's not because I'm weak for her giggling hysterically as she sings i wanna dance with somebody, Raphael smiling and kissing her face and doing a weird and terrible dance as they're both lying down

i also keep having the mental image of like. once they calm down and they're just catching their breath, giggles dying down slightly, Raphael just softly going "sólo tenerte cerca, siento que vuelvo a empezar" because that line ALWAYS MAKES ME THINK OF MAIAPHAEL OKAY. AAA FUCK ("just having you near feels like starting over", for non spanish speakers)

also just. Maia getting up in the morning, and she's kinda energetic in the morning, so she just starts blasting punk music as she gets ready for her day, jumping and singing a little bit and basically being adorable. and Raphael is also a morning person but the quiet morning person type, but he doesn't even mind, just settles on watching her bounce and sing and make a mess as she gets ready, smile on his face, absolutely endeared and in love and aaaaa

and im just udbdidndidndidn weak thank you so much for this ask and mental image omg ;-; aaaaaaaaaa

had a dream where i saw a kirby live show (featuring people in very large but accurate looking kirby mascot costumes), and then after leaving and heading back to the hotel room i was staying in, i discovered that silhouette shadow people were coming for people and when they get you, you fall asleep and are visibly having nightmares but cant be awoken

i was running from them in my dream and then they got my sister, and i was so upset that i found a random one who was going for someone else in public and tackled them so they’d get me instead

anyway i fall asleep and i dream im on a train, full of weird cartoony monsters, and theyre all being led by one monster who looks like the honey nut cheerios bee? and it turns out he’s instructed them to do this and to torture the people they catch (hence the nightmares). different monsters do different torture- i end up getting this alligator looking lady who mostly taunts me but doesnt attack, one girl is just getting punched in the knees repeatedly, the monster holding a newborn baby’s just kind of holding it, there’s one monster hitting their victim with a big round pillow because they missed the point

eventually its revealed that the bee in charge is doing all of this because. he wants to see santa??? and then they sing a whole nightmare before christmas style song about how excited they are for santa

#i need a text post tag #dream diary #im still really tired but i had to write this down before i forgot it

nobody asked for it, but i liveblogged my She ra s3 reactions

[ part one ┊ part two ]

spoilers, obviously (under cut bc it’s rather long)

episode one

DAMN THEY DID NOT HESITATE TO DIVE RIGHT INTO SHIT

(oh yeah this is a split season so that makes sense..)

FUCK SHADOWEAVER FUCK SHADOWWEAVER

Angela loses points for not having a proper prison but gains them right back for not letting Adora in to interrogate Shadowbitch

Glimmer: we shouldn’t let her manipulate you

Adora, immediately: //decides to manipulate / trick her friends

Side note, interesting episode title..

Adora’s friends: //arent fooled at all THANKFULLY

adora honey youre a terrible liar. and your friends are too smart

Catra bby..

SCORPIA BBY

Catra: i cant handle this emotionally vulnerable shit

GOOD THEYRE WATCHING ADORA

Aaand theyre asleep

Oh this is great

Glimmer’s target practice cjdhjdnf

Oh Adora wants to change Shadowbitch.. honey.

GLIMMER IS WITH HER GOOD

ANGRY GLIMMER !!!!!! PROTECTIVE GLIMMER !!!!!!!!!

God Adora calling out Shadowbitch is everything

LET HER DIE

DONT HEAL HER

GDI

YOU CANT TRUST HER

Fuck this is cool

Shadowbitch’s two reasons for (SUPPOSEDLY) turning is to get revenge on 1) Hordak and 2) Catra While im sure Adora is all behind the first one, she certainly wont let the second happen.

Okay but who SENT Adora through that portal??

“Don’t I get a say in what happens to me? Don’t I get a choice?!”

:’0

The worst thing about this is that LightHope is basically telling Adora the same thing the Horde did: you dont have a choice over your life, your ambitions, your responsibilities. Fuck LightHope.

“It is happening again.” HM

“Are you okay?” “I’m not sure yet.” baby.. i felt that

episode two

What a COOL shot of Adora

Fjejhd of coUrse Glimmer didnt tell her mom

Poor fucking Angela

Ive never related to Bow more in this moment ⁃ bird ⁃ Trying to navigate whEN FUCKIG GOOGLE MAPS ISNT WORKING- coughs i mean, the navigator machine

Oh shit Hordak cares about Entrapta

ADORA PUTS HANDS AROUND HER EYES IN PLACE OF BINOCULARS SKFBFJFNMC

“Just act tough” oh yall are so bad at this

its Her time

I just watched this clip of Huntara last night

Adora is gay

Huntara is also gay she was just FLIRTING with a WOMAN at the BAR

The ‘purposefully gets names wrong’ gag will always be my favorite

ADORA’S ~TRYING TO BE SMOOTH~ VOICE IS HILARIOUS BUT ALSO.. 👀

anybody got a map? oh wrong show sorry

listen i cant blame Adora how could you NOT be in love with her

OH SHIT WE CAN SEE HORDAK WITHOUT HIS ARMOR

Ugly ass twink bitch

Adora getting an outside perspective on the war and how it effects Etheria should be interesting

Wait where are Glimmer and Bow ?

Adora being called “blondie” 👌👌

ADORA WANTING TO IMPRESS HUNTARA ️‍👌🏳️‍🌈✨

Oh theyre there they just fell behind

Huntara led them into a trap didnt she

Gdi

Oh she took Adora’s sword fuck I mean ofc she did but mm That would be her only chance of escaping

HORDAK HISSING AT ENTRAPTA DKDJF

Okay Entrapta is a top

Hordak is a clone?? Bitch what

//falsely sympathetic voice/ aww hordak just wants to impress his higher up with planetary conquest..

they even called this expedition a roadtrip awe

Wow theyre really playing up this Hordak + Entrapta friendship and bonding huh

Oh Glimmer is such a badass

ADORA JUST FUCKING TACKLED THIS WOMEN WHOS TWICE HER SIZE TO THE GROUND

Bow: awkward HAH of victory

Glimmer: sticks her tongue out at the enemy

God i love this battle sequence so much

THE MUSIC!!!!!

Im watching it again

Adora’s laugh before she says “I AM She ra” 😍

Theyre both ex Horde soldiers oh shit!! One so trusting and one so fearful, so closed off to anyone

“I’m not gonna run anymore. I face my problems head on.” fuck yeah!!!

Netflix referring to Bow Glimmer and Adora as the “squad” omg

-rewatching the fight scene from 18:30-

diD HUNTARA JUST ROAR LIKE A LION?!

I love the repeating of lines to each other thats such a good trope too

“Thats mine!” ”Then come and take it.”

Also I like seeing Adora fight and pull off really cool moves but not like, flawlessly. Like her backflip- she almost falls. Or when she swings Huntara’s sword and it doesn whip out at first.

HUNTARA JUST ROARED AGAIN

ANOTHEr EXAMPLE OF THEIR MIRRORING IS WHEN HUNTARA HOLDS ADORA’S HEAD UP WITH HER SWORD AND THEN SHE RA DOES THE SAME

Thats totally foreshadowing the connection of their backgrounds with the Horde huh

The “‘You know about She ra?’ Heheh, I AM She ra” moment is so good okay I need to call it out again. The way she flashes her sword in front of her face? Amazing. Spectacular. Im gay-

The end of this episode be like: //women supporting women

Mara’s ship!! Dun dun dunnn

episode three

Edgy Catra in the Crimson Waste shot: ✔️

“Nothing matters anymore!” :(

Hey that place looks familiar!

Isnt Scorpia FROM here?? How does she not know anything about it??

“Maybe I should have skipped force captain orientation eh?” THIS RUNNING JOKE DKFNFK

Catra bitching about Hordak is a whole mood

CATRA HISSING AT THat FROG THING SHE PUSHED FROM THE COUNTER IM-

Wait satyr lady never said the second rule Prettyyy sure the second rule is that no one annoys Huntara, but shes not here! So what the hell are YOU gonna claim it is?

Catra’s monologue in the bar is everything

Catra stealing the jacket is such a ME move i see a leather jacket i go feral

Bow you’re such a nerd ily

Well duh the ship is empty its been looted for years

Do your She ra thing i bet thatll uncover something //wiggles eyebrows

Yeehaw! Look at that i was right

Its not haunted theres a repeated message echoing ..

Scorpia you’re gay

Also IM gay Catra in a jacket is 👌😩

HER ORDERING PPL AROUND AT KNIFEPOINT IS 👌👌👌😩

Aw look at Scorpia in her element

“Im gonna call you Kyle” KDHFKDJFJFK

Catra’s little smirk.. ️ ❤️️ Scorpia’s reaction is a whole mood

THEY DO MAKE A GOOD TEAM! ITS A GOOD THING SCORPIA FOLLOWED YOU HERE INTO EXILE H U H CATRA

That giant skull tho

OH ITS TIME IVE SEEN THIS CLIP

announcer voice: ITSSSSSS TONGUELASHOR

listen i know he’s an idiot with a dumb name and catra kicks his ass but i love me a buff lizard person,,

a broadcast.. oH ITS MARA HERSELF

“And I am gone.” sounds like.. something someone would say in a message if they didnt want to be looked for and found

Adora ... :(

Your frustration is so warranted

I wish i could give her answers

OH SHIT ITS MARA BUT NOT SHE RA-ED THIS TIME

“I was supposed to be the last.” wh..

Even Tongue Lashor’s insults are dumb

SCORPIA INTERRUPTING TONGUE LASHOR IS PRICELESS

HE EVEN SAYS “WHIP” KDHFJ

Catra mimicking his evil laugh..

Listen imma say it again (my scalie is showing) Tongue Lashor’s design is great

Catra just winked at Scorpia, yoURE GAAY

@ Mara’s dialogue.. that was uh. A Lot The biggest thing that jumps out to me is the fact that theyre in an empty dimension?? And the fact that Mar BROUGHT A WHOLE PLANET there. Thats some real power. Oh yeah, and LightHope is lying / working against the She ras / wants to bring destruction to the planet. But thats not surprising

Oh hey darts! Now who took the dart gun..

oh thats right!

Catra and Adora time baby

HEY ADORA

Adora is uh,, alone captured by Catra

This should be interesting

SCORPIA IN THE JACKET THOOOOO

“A toast to Scorpia” //clutches chest

Hey yall this is cute but reminder that cattadora is endgame

“When we go back” nahhh

Also fuck Catra heard that hologram??

CATRA BLUSHIG

“We could rule the Crimson Waste together!” Scorpia you are SO gay

“I have to go check on the prisoner” her ex

“Shadow Weaver left me for you..?” Uh fuck

She has tears in her eyes oh bby

given how they just, didnt get to making marnie a character with a storyline i guess it was kinda tricky to decide what to even do with her but i Think i got it

i went with a piers is old skool punk music and shes New school so like electric! and also a theme of like cute pkmn that evolve into gnarlier stuff, like a Character Arc

battle one

(ability: hunger switch, moves: super fang, parting shot, stockpile , swallow)

(dont mind me just treating this thing like a hamster )

(ability: rattled, moves: sand attack, tackle, tail whip, nuzzle)

(this move set is ASS compared to the lvl 5 beast it could be like flame charge? double-edge? fresh out of the egg? like omg, but marnie’s thing is being like an extra cute girl so her pkmn are like nerf’d by cute)

(this battle happens in motostoke with the other would be challengers! only 999 make it out of the whole region, marnie doesnt have a sponsor like a company but all her fans! she has like a pkmn version of a go fund me and runs like tons of social media stuff, shes like, an e-girl,a pkmn self made idol! sometimes people go easy on her just cause shes like, Cute but also like her rabid fanbase is scary! theres team yell stuff but thats a bit different)

(cheering and jeering are mechanics! ill figure it out 100% for l8rs but its like cheering lets you endure strong attacks, heal from status effects faster and raises your stats i think like in order like your defense, your sp d, your speed,and then any boost after that raises your hp heals a bit, jeering increases your likely hood of having a critical hit, lowers your sp d, lowers your def but then raises your atk and then raises your sp attack, it would totally effect return and frustration, like rages would be stronger in jeering, maybe jeering boosts dark moves and cheering boosts fighting moves, maybe they can all be split up like ghosts get boosts with jeering, fairys get boost with cheering, dragons with jeering and so On)

(but anyway so marnie gets like that cheer boost basically every time, she comes in fourth at the challenger tournament!)

---

battle two

(ability: hunger switch, moves: super fang, parting shot, stockpile , swallow)

(this things leveled up but is moves stay the same!)

(ability: rattled, moves: charm, tackle, tail whip, nuzzle)

(this pup is a higher level but its moves just get cuter! she doesnt evo it rn)

(ability: static, moves: lucky chant, sweet kiss, tail whip, thunder shock)

(she adds a kinda suped up pichu to her team! v cute! wow!)

(idk when this battle takes place, but out of the four of the Rivals, she uses water gun on the mudbray for each spots, i think hop uses it once but then is like oh no wait, bede doesnt and shield doesnt)

----

battle three

(no updates, just a higher level! i dont have exact places for marnie’s battles but gym wise, she sometimes passes hop, rarely passes bede and doesnt past shield)

(no change, just a higher level!)

(same as above!)

(ability: cute charm, moves: camouflage, string shot, absorb, spider web)

(i did NOT sit though years of misty being made fun of for being afraid of pokemon just to have this teeny tiny cutie have unnerve!! people in pkmn world canonically dont have the irrational fear of bugs! begone!)

------------

battle four

(there are no changes except level boosts for the hamster and yamper)

(ability: static, move: lucky chant, quick attack, sweet kiss, thunder bolt)

(she evos this one based on popular opinion)

(ability: adaptability, moves: swift, covet, fake tears, baby-doll eyes)

(wow another Cute Pokemon! this is plot relevent! )

(omg idk how much to talk about plotline ideas or like, anything cause thats like New and exciting, maybe im already sharing too much already? much this is also like showing my work, gotta keep this nuzlocke honest)

----

battle five

(no move updates for any of the others! a part of me wants to be like, give them one new aggressive move but i think that’ll take away the Effect)

(ability: punk rock, moves: disarming voice, rest, snore, tear-full look)

(im letting it have punk rock so crying moves do damage more haha baby joke)

(you see this pkmn a lot in the game, im not even sure if i like it but i want to use it again? baby yoda effect)

(she’ll have her team order a bit shuffled for this, with pikachu going last, she’ll get it to dynamax without a band! i want to play off some of the plot points from detective pikachu since spikemuth was obvi inspired by it or designed in tantum with it)

----

battle six

(moves update: super fang, aura wheel, stockpile, swallow)

(i have a general idea of what i want to do with marnie’s plot so the next time you see her all her pkmn are swole)

(ability: strong jaw, moves: thunder fang, crunch, pursuit, hyper voice)

(it should tech have the other ability but im going with whats cool also i cant wait to make this thing look more fucked up an not like, the vanilla of dog shapes)

(moves update: seismic toss, magnet rise, volt tackle, thunder punch)

(im surprised they didnt do a galarian raichu that was like gorochu? i love raichu so i might not do anything gorochu-ish but i do like how this gen was like early gen concepts into actual pkmn! so maybe?)

(ability: merciless, moves: lunge, poison fang,giga drain, bug buzz)

(i was going to give it unnerve but its kinda boring unless youre up against a shuckle)

(ability: volt absorb, moves: pin missile, thunder, double kick, skull bash)

(i love jolteon and the way it has moves that are like wild and will fukc you up)

(ability: punk rock, moves: overdrive, boomburst, shadow panic, venoshock)

(they put so much like work into making sounds more viable for attack then added like two sound attacks that deal damage instead of like, a bunch? so i took one from a spin off game, ill treat it as a dark move, but hopefully the sound theme reads throughout this line up)

(its like the cup team she’ll have!)

(im worried that some of these teams im building feel samesy cause im like Sees Stats Change Ability “okay but what if it did damage instead” but i hope theyre coming across like a personality!)

HOW I RUN MY BLOG

SPEED

i do my best! generally i just try to keep the pace going but im also a turtle with very bad attention span. like everyone sometimes i have more muse for certain threads and i try to tackle those first. otherwise i?? just try to keep the ball rolling.

REPLIES/DRAFTS

imma be real here chief. I don’t use my drafts. If i put my replies in drafts i will NEVER get them done. so i either Like them or i rely on my memory fkjhgkd i usually reply in later evening/night hours tho! I’m ATROCIOUS at replying during the day time and its just a lot easier on me in silence with no one around. I try to reply the day after my partner does but sometimes stuff happens and i get to it the next night lmao

STARTERS

I don’t mind doing them and I usually volunteer to! But Im also happy whenever someone else does cAUSE ITS ONE LESS THING FOR ME TO DO L M A o..,,, If theres one thing I noticed Im bad at tho its responding to one-liner starter calls cause i just... spit 2 paragraphs back kjfdghj and they usually end up going no where and it makes me kinda sad. But Im gonna keep liking them cause i wanna interact with people!!!! and those calls always pop up on my dash!!!!!

INBOX

listen here young man my blog is almost 5 years old. This inbox is CLUTTERED....... i try to answer everything as best i can tho!! But, as i will keep saying, I HAVE BAD ATTENTION SPAN and if i forget its not on you!! admittedly sometimes i dont know how to respond so i’ll leave it to stew over but... i end up forgetting anyway. By then i just delete it if its been awhile.

SELECTIVITY

I’m only semi selective tbh I don’t have High Standards or anything djfhkgjf I like an active dash and I like meeting people!! Im coming off a year long hiatus and I still feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface with following people in this community. If you really wanna know tho I don’t like following if your blog is nothing but ask memes or if youre about is just Off The Wall Crazy that i feel winded after reading it and im not sure i can see us interacting. I’m chill i swear As a side note, I do not follow personals back.

WISHLIST

[takes out a very long scroll that unwinds and scrolls out the door and keeps going for miles] Well, now that you’ve asked -i want sorikai content..... i want sokai content....... i want soriku content....... i want trinity trio content........ i want the misery that comes with being snorts friend. i live for that. I live for riku and kairi lamenting over trying to save their best friend whos actively avoiding seeing them as much as it pains him cause he doesnt wanna get them hurt hhhhhhh I WANT THEM SNEAKING BEHIND THE SCENES SEEING EACH OTHER CAUSE THE FRIENDSHIP IS TOO STRONG AND THEY LOVE EACH OTHER TOOMUCH TO BE APART AND EVEN XEHANORT CANT DO THAT TO THEM -I WANT..... ORGANIZATION RPS......... i want!! soranort to interact with all the other vessels!!! there is SO MUCH TO DO HERE!!! Get under his skin, remind him hes gonna beat the light out of precious friends, just!! fuck with him man. Sora will snap back and stick to his guns and make for one big sass fight. Cmon sora was LITERALLY THEIR ENEMY FOR ALL THE GAMES AND NOW HES FORCED TO SIDE WITH THEM theres a lot to do here!!!!!!!!!! And if sora does what he does best and worms into their heart and they become friends?? ALL THE BETTER!!! one of my FAVORITE old relationships on this blog was with saix! it was great!!!!!! im starving out here pls give me organization rps -v...vanitas........ listen i know i rp vanitas too but SOME OF MY FAVORITE RPS ARE WITH OTHER VANITAS BLOGS...... we can work it out man, we can plot it out, i just rEALLY LOVE OTHER VANITAS BLOGS A LOT OK its really fun seeing another vanitas tear down sora that isnt myself. Im just eternally nervous about approaching other vanitas’s in case theyre like NO I DONT WANNA DO THIS so i sit in silence watching from afar -DISNEY!!!!! DISNEY!!!!!!! RPS!!!!!!!! DISNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LIVE FOR SORA SEEING HIS OLD DISNEY FRIENDS AGAIN AND THEYRE LIKE “hey what happened” aND HE LAUGHS LIKE “HAHAHAH NOTHING I SWEAR IM FINE HOW ARE YOU THO” OR ALTERNATIVELY DISNEY THAT ISNT IN KH, LET SORA MEET THEM NOW WHEN HES ON ORG MISSIONS ‘go do recon sora and stay in the shadows pls’ ‘okay! [immediately goes and makes 10 friends] -crossover friends!!!! i also live for Sora meeting people who dont know ANYTHING about his bullshit or KH’s bullshit and they steadily overtime see how hes not doing so well until he has to explain OR keep dancing around it because its always better that theyre not involved in all this [this one is hit or miss cause i only follow series im familiar with BUT i can make exceptions jkfhg] -vanitas meeting people similar to him. Before i reset my blogs relationships vanitas aCTUALLY HAD A FRIEND but it was only because they were both tools living with someone elses face and they punched each other to say hello kdjfhgkdj but i like exploring what happens to vanitas when you give him the warmth he spent 4 years feeling from ventus & longing after in the badlands according to the bbs novels. Vanitas is a terrible abomination but goddamn do i love watching him short circuit when someones not treating him like shit. then he gets extremely confused and angry and [chefs kiss] fun. -this is already really long and while i always have more in mind ill stop here

HONEST NOTE you want some honesty????? you want some BRUTAL HONESTY??? I am in a constant state of anxiety people will be disappointed i dont follow the herd with Popular Soranort Headcanons. like they come here expecting one thing only to see thats not what rolls here. Granted I don’t look at or know the Popular Soranort Headcanons because they made my anxiety spike more, im just ??? Its a weird feeling. Im not here to please people because how I choose to write soranort is all up to me and I love him. Its just... a super funky feeling. Theres a reason i took my hiatus but thats all im gonna say. Im also always worried about my vanitas portrayal since hes just a Lost Soul at the moment with no goal or path or outlet and therefore doesnt really follow his canon self’s personality or behavior.

tagged by: nobody i live in a kingdom of thieves tagging: you! and you! and especially YOU

#outofxiii #long post//#LONG POST BECAUSE MY WISHLIST IS SUPER LONG WINDED LMAO #honestly i just did this because mom has the os.cars on and i wanted to kill time #until she went to bed but it took me an hour to do this and SHE STILL ISNT IN BED #sleep!!!! i cant do replies like this!!!!!!!

Prompts from "tarot for troubled times" shadow work book

Part one: the fool

Where do you feel stuck, blocked, or in pain?

I have a lot of difficulty expressing myself in healthy ways in romantic settings, due to trauma and bpd. I feel stuck within my own head a lot of times, due to this. I feel blocked by my own inability to overcome my mental health- my paranoia and fear control me, and this causes me pain

Where do you feel blessed, whole, and in the flow?

With my fiance. Theyre an amazing person, and they've helped me through so much. I want to follow this flow wherever it goes.

If you could change any of this, what would that be?

Honestly? Id make some movement on my mental health- or a situation with my fiance that hasclearer boundaries and rules for me to follow.

What would that look like?

I guess it would look like having a lot of tough conversations with myself and my fiance, if I want any progress there

When have you felt afraid to speak up?

I have a friend who is very controlling, and gets very distressed if I call them out ever- so I don't for fear of their reaction

How do you hold yourself back?

In a good way, I hold myself back by talking myself down logically from rushing in with my temper. In a bad way, I talk myself down from everything, all the time, so I never end up making much progress.

In what ways do you lift other people up?

I always take effort to listen to other people and boost their voices by sharing their posts on my social media. I also take a lot of effort to take note of their specific traits, interests etc to comment or compliment them on.

When have you contributed to oppression, either knowingly or unknowingly?

I honestly have done a lot of appropriative things in the past, and I've also held some TERFy views as a young teen (im 23 now and no longer hold said views). I also have held anti-religion views which contribute to harm towards muslim and Jewish folk.

When have you felt oppressed, what did that feel like?

I have spent many years feeling excluded due to my autism- but for a while I thought I was trans, and the hatred I received online was genuinely sickening. It made me feel guilty for even being alive. The label didn't end up being right for me- but the way i felt was hell and I have nothing but respect for those who go through that now.

What does the word power mean to you?

Power represents oppressive regimes and controlling others, enforcing your views over others, and generally being in a position of no reproach, much different to empowerment which is a good thing, being powerful in the literal sense is rarely a force for good.

When you think of inclusivity, what does that look like in your life? How might you create a more inclusive, welcoming world for people of colour or other marginalised folks?

Inclusivity in my life means making sure my craft is non appropriative as much as possible, and making sure any spaces i operate are considerate of all minorities- a big thing im working on is making my spaces more accessible for disabled people such as dyslexic folk etc, and also working on honouring AAVE and respecting its origins, and tackling any racist biases and ideals i might subconsciously hold.

rambling 12/15/18

so lets start with the universe

i’m feeling more and more connected to the universe lately. i’ve always felt a connection to the universe, but its different now. like my relationship with ethan maybe. we used to fight, but realized we’re family and stuck together, now its all love and he’s so much cooler than i used to give him credit for. same goes for me and the universe

anyways, i feel like i can feel the vibe in the room. everyone can but some rooms have more tension. the outside is sometimes calm and other times its chaotic regardless of how many people are out there with me. i feel overwhelmed by the chaotic air when there are no people and i feel overwhelmed by the people in calm air. idk calm air is easier to walk in tho people or no people. i feel like my horoscope is always accurate and even if its not i check my friends and see theyre right. i like vice horoscopes because theyre vague ish. yknow? like it just tells you how the day will feel not what will happen. i like knowing how the planets change moods. i am connected to the planets and the tides. the universe moves and i move with it. my emotional state does. my psyche?

i feel overly connected. i feel the universe too strongly sometimes and it weighs me down or pulls me off my feet. i live in a snowglobe for days at a time caught up in the tides of emotions that don’t always belong to me. i invite them in and let them go in their time tho now which i used to not do. i used to ignore feelings i didnt like and sought out the happy ones. the search left me disappointed because happy wasnt as happy as i expected it to be. i put a lot of pressure on myself to feel happy when i knew sad was the one knocking at the door. ignored him or asked him to wear a happy mask. disrespected him and only made him feel worse. i’m sorry sadness. i accept you now. i invite sadness, anger, frustration, jealousy, anxiety, etc to come in and talk. where do you come from? what do you need? how can i help you before you carry on your way? i know we’ll meet again, but we won’t fight and hurt each other like we used to. let’s be friends.

i’m trying to accept all of my emotions. not just the happy ones. holding on to happy isnt good. trapping happy hostage when he comes to visit lol. locking him in the basement so he can’t see the sunlight and bloom. he gets sick and dies down there then you’re left alone again with just the painful memory of happy. it didnt have to be painful! let happy come and go as he pleases! i promise you he will come back if you let him go. don’t hold on to old happy times when you could be making new ones. live each day!

————-

zephyr-

the thing about zephyr is

idk. i forgive him. he isn’t evil or a bad guy. he is a product of his circumstances. he was born and raised to be this way. the environment and political climate he grew up in created him. it’s not his fault he is the way he is.

but he could be better.

i think zephyr is immature. i think his parents failed him. i think he failed himself. i think we all fail ourselves and other people. nothing to feel guilty or bad about tho. who has time for guilt for the past when the future is always a second away? accept what happened, where you are, who you are, and move forward. keep moving forward because you can’t go back. alright im getting weird and off topic now but anyway,

zephyr has a good heart. he has an innocent child’s heart. he’s young and immature. he was raised to believe he’s a grown man since 4. he makes his own independent choices. nobody can tell him what to do. he resents people telling him what to do. even if its good advice or something he knows he should do and was going to do but wont now because someone told him to. he’s an idiot. but it’s not his fault. he’s just immature.

he is sexist and shitty. it’s not his fault? but it is. he knows better than to be homophobic/transphobic/misogynistic/racist/EVERYTHING but he still does it because he has been told not to be. and that’s not okay with him. he doesnt like being told what to do more than he cares about how the other person feels when telling him what to do. its a virgo thing i think. not selfishness, but just stubbornness.

so zephyr could be better and he knows it, but he won’t be. he has to decide to do it for himself. i can’t make him decide to be a better person. i can’t make him understanding of others if he doesnt want to be. i cant teach him. i could, but why would i? i spent years climbing that hill and never reached the top. then it occurred to me that i had my own hill to climb. i need to take care of myself, not zephyr. he is not my responsibility and i am no one else’s but my own.

so i forgive him. im not mad about the time i spent climbing his hill to never reach the top. i wouldn’t have been able to see my mountain with its patchy trees and shrubs as beautiful if not for the barren desolation of his mountain. thank you zephyr for teaching me so many things about myself.

i am stronger than i thought i was. i’m always surprised by my growth because i can’t see it while i’m in it yknow. being with zephyr was experiencing growing pains and now that they’ve stopped i’m taller and stronger than i was before. thank you zephyr for making me feel alone. i found a friend in myself. thank you for making me feel smaller than i was. it makes it easier for me to see how much i’ve grown. thank you for hating the same things about me that i did. i know exactly what to work on loving and embracing about myself

i hope you can learn to love your true self too

————-

people have demons. i believe everyone has a good heart. this is leading off the zephyr paragraph bc he’s an example of a real human but it’s not about him.

i think all people are born innocent. theyre babies! completely and 100% being themselves. i think everyone has a good heart. nobody at their core wants to inflict misery on another. life is what you make of it and you are what life makes of you! it’s the universe!! we’re all connected to it and thus connected to each other so nobody at their heart of hearts wants to do anything to hurt the universe we are all a part of. but things happen! not everyone feels as strong a psychic connection to the universe. we have demons too. we have anxieties and jealousies and angers. they look like the wendigo to me. or centipedes. semi-translucent grey shapes lingering in the shadows. big ones stomp around making the floor shake. they rocks at you from a distance. they follow you when youre walking home alone at night. they whisper in your ear. they slither through your blood stream making your heart beat too fast then too slow and your hands cant stop shaking. they twist in your stomach and bubble up your throat. they wait until you aren’t looking to move.

do you do what they say? if you do that then maybe they’ll stop terrorizing you! they’ll leave you alone and you’ll spend the rest of your day worry-free. right?

wrong! everyone has demons! they don’t stop! but guess what? theyre not as strong as you think they are. don’t give in to them! they’ll invite their friends and by then you’ll have a real problem. demons breed demons. don’t feed the demons.

so what do you do? you can’t stop them and you can’t give in to them. should you fight? you could try that. you could try ignoring them too. i’m not really sure yet honestly. i know you shouldn’t feed them though. i’ve found ignoring them to be the easiest option, but it doesn’t kill them. so maybe it is a good idea to fight? fighting makes me tired, but the demons aren’t as strong as you think. tackling one or two a day shouldn’t be too hard and then i could take off weekends.

but wait, let me tell you that fighting the demons isnt a risk-free option. be prepared to lose to them every once in a while. but if they get you down, dont stay there. get right the fuck back up. finish the fight if you can or go home and take a nap to regain strength but dont just sit there in the dirt feeling defeated. never do that because you’re a fighter. life isn’t fair. everyone has demons and we’re all fighting our own battles.

so don’t judge people so harshly because you don’t know their battle. maybe their demon of the day is a level 2 maybe its a level 20. we all have good hearts and we all have demons. some of us have fallen for the demons and their tricks and that’s why we do bad things. the demons want to disrupt the universes cycle. i’m fighting them because i want to protect myself and everyone else. we’re all one

when the dark meets the pastel pink

the old american au no one asked for. words are mine. photos from tumblr.

it was the June 24, 1856 in Brooklyn. Mia was new in town and her soft Southern accent just can't seem to bend with the rough burr of the Italians. everyone seemed to get along one second then in another theyre already beating someone up bloody. she just clutched her hat down and didnt meet anyones eye as she scuttled to her room at Board St.

aside from getting along with the Brooklyn crowd, her other problem was Ava. now Ava is a tall Italian girl built like an assassin who whipped her gun carelessly like a handshake and smiled with shark teeth. this terrified Mia beyond belief and was almost unmoving when she realized that in the apartment she rented a room in, Ava lived next door. if only she could cry and move, she has a little over 50 dollars for food until she found a job.

Ava, short for Ave Maria (ugh curse her Italian lineage and their obsession with God) but she is hardly proper like her namesake. she wore coats black as sin and shoes leather straight and rattled off curses that could curdle goat milk. Mia could hardly count how many times shes seen a black blur appear in front of her to either taunt or tease on good days and snark or stare on bad days. but shes beyond grateful: Ava was the one that got her a job at a nearby fruit shop. having grown in a farm, its an easy job with an easy pay.

she wanted to work at the bakery Ava's family owned though, seeing that being close to their daughter meant a little bit more protection than usual. but Ava's flat stare told her that it was off-limits. she only then knew why when Ava stumbled home drunk and Mia, out of the goodness of her heart, helped her get to bed safely and sent a basket of fruit before she went on her way. "the bakery's a front. we deal olive oil." Ava whispered softly, as if someone is listening in closely. Mia just dropped her jaw in shock. That's why.

dealing olive oil was a big deal then. that meant your family either own orchards or factories, and both meant that youre rolling in the dough. that made Ava a girl she should not be hanging out with. money makes one dangerous and in danger. if Ava got into trouble, she might be dragged along too. but when she saw how Ava got her up on her feet, how Ava led her through the Brooklyn streets, how Ava this and how Ava that... she cant seem to imagine being without her.

so she stuck around regardless of the danger. Ava stuck around even after Mia told her of what she learned. Ava only shrugged and said "your choice, doll." Mia blushed at the petname but refused to let it show. she was Mia Smith, and she never shows weakness to Ave Maria Corleone of all people.

one day, as she was walking down Jones Avenue to the city market, a shadow of brown rushed by her side and clutched at her bag. in her surprise, she dropped the baggage and the thief took off at an amazing speed. before she could cry out, another shadow, black, soundlessly tackled the thief down and barreled punches at the fallen boy's face and body. she could see from afar the blood that spilled from the split lip and bruises black and blue on olive skin. then she saw shark teeth. Ava, her bones whispered.

she stood petrified as a man, twice Ava's weight and height, towered over her and grasped her clenched hands and lifted her effortlessly while the thief lay down unconscious and bloody. a couple of similarly built men, albeit smaller, dragged him off to God knows where. she heard the man shout in angry Italian at Ava's face while her friend wore a stony expression. she guessed a couple of words in their conversation such as "fight" then "thief" to "girl" and "so stupid Ava!".

Ava shrugged and muttered a few words back before she shouldered Mia's forgotten bag and trudged up to her, knuckles split. she immediately thrusted the bag back into Mia's arms with a harsh "here" and was about to escape when Mia's arms came up and held her close, teary eyed.

Mia's whole life was in that bag. the train ticket that got her to Brooklyn. the money she worked so hard for. the capital shes going to use to build her own shop, one of flowers like ones that grew back home. pictures of the family she left behind for a life shes building for the future. she clutched Ava close, mouth rattling out thank you's and im sorry's but Ava shook her head and wrapped her arms around Mia too. it was a silly sight: a Southern girl in white and a black-clad warrior with dripping knuckles.

her friendship with Ava seemed to grow after that. before she goes to work, she drags the other girl to breakfast at The Kooperom, a weird German breakfast station that served bacon pancakes with maple syrup straight from Canada. she usually orders a stack but Ava eats like a bird, all bits of this and that and says thats what makes her strong (she doesnt refuse when Mia offers her a bite though).

Ava stopped teasing her beyond what was normal, and Mia stopped judging every new scar that appeared on Ava's body nor the blood that seemed permanent on her coat, right atop her family's insigne.

it was hard to remember how exactly their relationship escalated to friends to being, well, more than friends. all that Mia knows is that she was handing a peach as pink as Ava's lips, she figured if they taste like it too. needless to say, the back alley became a spot of two girls pawing at each other and trying not to get caught. they never did.

from then on, Ava became a somewhat permanent fixture not only in her life, but also in her room. she came home one day, a paper bag in hand from the market, and almost dropped the whole lot when she saw Ava napping peacefully on her couch. the door lock was successfully cracked and her lover snored for someone so quiet. instead of unleashing her wrath, she calmly locked the door, took off her shoes and slipped into Ava's embrace. the sleeper just grunted and held her close, and Mia thought if this is what home feels like.

little pastries were abundant on her table, Mia fuming and demanding she pay for them while Ava smirked and disappeared after kissing Mia thoroughly. pink always brushed Mia's cheeks and that Corleone thug is the one to blame. and flowers. all colors and kinds started appearing around her room, in small vases or big bouquets. Ava figured that since Mia wants a flower shop, she should start small. cue intense tears and even more intense kissing because who knew gangsters have hearts?

it happened when they both had nothing better to do and decided to sit around her window, watch the night sky, throw back some wine and quality chocolate, stuff like that. it happened when her sweatered shoulder brushed against Ava's bare one, a common thing as they sat hip to hip. it happened when she looked at Ava to see the girl already staring back at her, as if the stars were in her very eyes.

"i love you." softly spoken from a girl of steel and blood. she not only stole her breath, but her very heart.

she could only smile and say,

"i love you too."
