yuki tsukumo — ep.29 premature death
you're her?
Sakutarō Hagiwara, from Cock; The Penguin Book of Japanese Verse (ed. by Anthony Thwaite)
With her final words—The words she always said whenever she had to leave the barracks early, leave to go back home, to the Rukongai—Where she was supposed to be safe—Kisuke leaned against the table her body had been on prior, nothing left of her except her words echoing in his ears. お先に失礼します。 Excuse me for leaving ahead of you.

A couple more pieces for that “Lucrecia is locked in the basement instead of Vincent” AU. She’s gonna go looking for her son, but she ain’t joining the party.
[Image Description: A pair of digital fanart drawings of Lucrecia Crescent. In the first, she stands with her back turned to the viewer, looking out one of the windows in the Shinra mansion (the room with the piano, though the piano isn’t in the frame). Her hair hangs loose, long enough that it pools on the floor behind her, and she still wears her white lab coat. The light of the windows stretches across the floor, interrupted by her shadow.
The second drawing depicts Lucrecia from the waist-up, facing the camera and backlit by the same window. She wears a red button-down shirt beneath her lab coat, red earrings, and her eyes are red. Her left sleeve is ragged where her arm has been replaced by a golden claw like Vincent’s. She has pulled her hair over her shoulder and holds a knife ready in her clawed hand to cut it. Her head is tilted down and she wears a pensive frown. /end ID]
so apologies in advance if this makes no sense. i can't form sentences for the life of me tonight. i've been thinking a lot about the imagery of the night sky radiating light due to their union with the moon and the stars and how that imagery ties noct, luna, and the hexatheon together. the union of king, oracle, and gods cast light within the darkness and bring the morning dawn
more under the cut because this got longer than i originally intended!
not to get mushy on main, but i love noct's story / journey as a metaphor for what it's like to live with depression and mental illness overall. more under a read more due to a heavy discussion topic!
the light slowly fades as things begin to pile up: grief, responsibility that feels impossible to tackle. all seems bleak and grim for a long time, hopeless. but then there comes a day amidst the darkness that one finds a revelation about themself, as well as motivation to change. and then, they find themselves clawing their way out of the dark ( even as parts of that darkness still take root deep within ). the entire journey is rough, ugly even... but worth it for the light at the end of the tunnel
when i played ffxv for the first time in 2016, i immediately noticed so many signs in noct in the first 3/4 of the game that i had in myself ( as someone who was going through a horrible depression during college ). the ways he closed himself off to people even his loved ones and friends, the ways he tried to bottle up everything, the selfishness in his grief -- even when he doesn't meant to be, the good parts of his personality that get buried behind the grief, the lack of control over himself and his life due to the incredible weight it brings, the burden he feels he's placing on his friends' shoulders
we see him struggle with strained relationships with his friends as the story progresses. and even up to the point where he gets enveloped into the crystal, he was struggling with his journey and fate, just trying to keep his head above water metaphorically -- even as unknown as everything was to him at the time
then we get to timeskip / older noctis. this is what it feels like to be an adult whose learned to live with depression. someone who's gone through a journey of change to be their best self, even if getting there felt impossible and terrifying at times. their path behind and ahead of them isn't pretty, but they've changed for them and they've learned to control rather than let it control them. it'll always be a part of them, but it doesn't define them anymore
this is the noctis we see, using his last days left alive to show the appreciation for the world and people around him that he didn't before. this is the king we see walking tall, finally sure of himself and his place in the world. even if his story ends bittersweetly, it still ends with a personal victory for him. noctis got to prove to his loved ones and to himself that he 'walked tall' and became the king and the person he was meant to be. and he's content with that, at the end of the day
no one look at me. i forget i have this multi on the regular and i'm gonna start tossing some other muses here to force myself to use it
