02. SPORADIC ACTIVITY, LOW EFFORT. THIS IS A HOBBY AND NOT A JOB. THE MOTIVATION TO WRITE COMES AND GOES, SO PLEASE DON'T PROD FOR REPLIES OR STARTERS. HOWEVER, I AM ALWAYS OPEN FOR PLOTTING THROUGH IMS. I DO HAVE DISCORD, WHICH I WILL GIVE OUT ON REQUEST, BUT OFTEN FORGET IT EXISTS SO IT ISN'T THE GREATEST WAY TO REACH ME.

also youse aren't allowed to be mad but i'm debating moving blogs again. i have a lot of followers here and, while i don't particularly mind that, i feel like i don't plot / interact with people as much as i could because... there's so many people i WANT to interact with but being social is so hard and thus i avoid responding to the million unanswered ims, or i don't send in prompts to people i do want to interact with because i don't want too much on my plate....
hi please donate to keep a widow and her four young children from gaza from starving. this campaign is vetted by association, toha’s husband mohammed al shawish was #86 on the gazavetters list. unfortunately they were being scammed by the original person running the campaign and it was eventually deactivated. mohammed was killed in may and these donations are the only thing keeping my friend and her kids alive
here is further documentation proving the legitimacy of this fundraiser. thank you
@sn1ktz: “how many candies do i need to bribe you with if you let me hold your sword? the big, glowy, super cool looking one.”
illyana's snort of laughter is loud, blonde hair fanning around her shoulders with the vehement shake of her head in response to gabby's question. " no way, kid... " she starts, corner of her lips quirking up in her amusement at the younger kinney's attempt at bribery. " no amount of candy would tempt me to get on your sisters bad side. " and it's true ... somewhat. perhaps, had laura not been present, 'yana would've caved -- if only to see how silly gabby would look holding a sword three times her size. she was smart enough not to let gabby wield it in a way that would injure her, so there's really no harm in it. however, she's not so sure that laura herself would hold a similar sentiment. " at least not now, anyway. " maybe she could get jugs to distract laura ... he owes her, after all. so all she does is send the girl a conspiratorial wink -- a silent promise that, at some point, gabby could hold her absolutely super cool glowy sword.

thinking abt yana and panic attacks and how she suffers with them more than she lets on to anybody.
usually in the dead of night when memories take the form of nightmares and she wakes up under the illusion she's still trapped in limbo. be it flashes of her killing cat or ororo, of s'ym's special brand of torture, of belasco's thundering yelling and subsequent punishments when she fails a spell. sometimes they hold memories of piotr's corpse, or they revolve around the time she spent alone in a blizzard simply waiting to die in the freezing cold.
sometimes there's the phantom pains of her soul being torn from her body with no remorse. the pull in her chest that starts off almost warm, before a violent shift makes it feel as though her whole body is being torn apart. her bones are splintering, her nerves are alight with an agony that's incomparable to anything she's ever felt before. her brain feels like it's melting, eyes feel like they're going to burst, her ribs feel like they've shattered and punctured her lungs. and she wakes up like a girl on fire. clutching at her heaving chest, curling into a ball while the pain ebbs away as she reminds herself of where she is. other times she wakes up in a flurry of quiet but panicked yells while fingers curl and pull at her hair in an attempt to ground herself from whatever she's seeing that she KNOWS is fake but feels real.
sometimes she has panic attacks because she remembers, despite it all, how fond she was of belasco. regardless of what he did their souls were tied the second she entered limbo. a part of her (that she knew was wrong) wanted to please him. wanted to do everything right, wanted to excel at whatever he put her up to because she wanted to rule at his side. she wanted to be the damnation he prophesied. she wanted to be everything he wanted her to be. and the recollection of those feelings make her feel sick, because it's another reminder that she wasn't in control of ANYTHING. her own mind was constantly fighting against what she knew was wrong, and what the growing darkness inside of her craved. and the fear that, should he ever return again, those same feelings might begin to brew all over again -- evem though she's stronger now.
she can't sleep after them, despite how the heaving and sobbing only proves to further exhaust her + how weak it makes her entire body. which sucks, because then she's stuck for hours with memories she's tried to bury that do nothing but settle into the cracks of her mind. nonexistent when she goes through the motions of making herself a drink at 2am, but crawling their way back out when she sits at the table with nothing to occupy herself.
sometimes she does get them in the day. mostly times where the darkchilde has been close to escaping the cage yana can barely keep it locked in. the knowledge that one wrong move could've had it released and put her friends/family in danger. not only does the thought of hurting them mess her up, but also the fact that it would be another betrayal from her. even if they know she can't control the darkchilde -- she should be stronger.
illyana tuned out some few seconds into doug's animated dump of information -- a skill she'd learnt to switch on and off whenever he got himself worked up. she knew, at some point, he'd make his point. whatever was said in between was typically of little importance to her; the only response granted throughout his rambling being an absent, half - hearted 'mhm... yeah... so cool.' the initial perk of her posture slumps once more as she waits, and waits, and waits -- features only growing more bored with every word spewed. something about riddles and languages and other things she didn't need to know about.
though, in usual fashion for a girl raised by brutality, flat features brighten up within seconds at the mention of a battlefield. now that the demon queen can get behind. so much so that she opts to allow the hand that slaps onto her shoulder in lieu of expressing her annoyance. " why didn't you just start with that, idiot! " eyes roll, and her fingers twitch with the urge to slap him upside the head for making her think their escape was going to be some kind of riddle solving hoo-ha that was going to require the next ten years of their lives to solve. though it doesn't last long; the grin that splits her lips ripe with anticipation, her own enthusiasm piquing to match doug's own.
mouth opens again, a declaration of their assured victory at her hands dying on her tongue at the haze that blankets doug's expression. a familiar one that illyana knew the outcome of all too well. " jeez doug... " despite apparent exasperation in her heavy exhale, both arms raise until hands are grasping his biceps, grip tight enough to ensure he wouldn't drop like a sack of potatoes should the excitement get too much. she doesn't bother with the papers that fall to the floor when his grip loosens on them, allowing them to scatter in a collage of foreign scribbles she could never hope, nor care, to understand. her own long - standing appreciation and fondness for her teammate comes in the form of uncharacteristic patience -- allowing him a few seconds wrapped in his momentary nerdy bliss before she shakes him harshly.
" alright alright, that's enough of that. in case you hadn't noticed, there's nothing in this place for me to fight. " her question is left unsaid, but the raise of her brow as she gives him one last reassuring squeeze leaves her train of thought obvious. 'so what am i meant to fight?'
