[duraskrial]

duraskrial is a study in understanding, war, and forgiveness as it relates to humanity.

This is a private and selective roleplay blog for David Kostyk of The Shadow and Bone Trilogy with inspiration from mixed media and my understanding of David. This blog is also 21+ plus and will not interact with minors.

II. This blog features dark and mature themes. Follow at your own risk. Triggers are not tagged.

III. Replies come when they come as I manage several blogs.

IV. If at any point you wish to cease writing with me, please softblock me.

the king is giving a festival !

i wish the walls were full of gold ,  i wish a lot of things .

sometimes i wonder what’s going on in that head of yours .

what are you doing ?  stop your pretending .

are you certain of your way ?

the way is clear ,  the light is good .

the woods are just trees ,  the trees are just wood .

are you really wearing that ?

it’s not what i wish ,  it’s what you wish .

i could’ve turned him into stone .  or a dog .  or a chair .

a small price to pay for what you stole from me .

well ,  that’s another story .  nevermind ,  anyway .

sorry ,  i’m still not mollified .

how could you do that ?

your father was no father ,  so why should you be ?

we’re starving ,  [ name ] !  don’t you understand that ?

we have to live ,  i don’t care how .

look what i found .  here ,  take this .

no ,  i can do this on my own .

it may be all in vain ,  you know .

i have no fear ,  nor no one should .

careful not to lose the way .

what’s your rush ?  you’re missing all the flowers .

look what you’re ignoring .

why do you think i asked you to do it in the first place ?

get me what i need  …  get me what i need !

you’d look pretty foolish .

i’d rather a wolf than you any day !

you shouldn’t be here ,  it’s not safe in these woods .

i was just trying to help .

we have one chance .  don’t you see that ?

i’m not sure i’m cut out to be a father .

if you can’t do this for yourself ,  can’t you at least do it for me ?

don’t you look lovely today ,  my dear ?

i brought your favorite .

i can’t believe i just did that .

wait a minute ,  i never thanked you .

i’m sorry .  i should’ve known better .

i had been so careful ,  i never had cared .

he made me feel excited ,  well  …  excited and scared .

they will not protect you the way they should .

nice is different than good .

isn’t it nice to know a lot  …  and a little bit not ?

oh ,  get your head out of the clouds !

i just need to catch  my breath .

aren’t you the lucky one ?

please don’t let them know that i’m here .

i’ve never lied to royalty before .

it’s not quite what i expected .

you’re free to do whatever pleases you .

steal what you can and run !

you’re back again ,  only different than before .

i never even reached home .

who cares ?  get it back .

get away from me with that ,  you fool .

i shouldn’t have yelled .

i will make things right ,  and we can carry on with our lives .

will you go ?  please .  go .

when the one thing you want  …  is the only thing out of your reach .

the woods can be a dangerous place .

i thought you were returning home !

do you mean you’re going to let me stay with you ?

perhaps it will take two of us to have this child .

i thought one was enough ,  it’s not true .  it takes two of us .

when the journey was tough ,  it took two of us .

at home i’d fear we’d stay the same forever .

what did i clearly say ?   what were you not to do ?

what have i been to you ?  what would you have me be ?

i embarrass you .  you are ashamed of me .

don’t you know what’s out there in the world ?

someone has to shield you from the world .  stay with me .

who out there could love you more than i ?

the world is dark and wild .

stay a child while you can be a child .

i gave you protection ,  and yet you disobeyed me .

where you’re going ,  no one will ever see you again .

whichever you pick ,  do it quick .

it’s fun to deceive when you know you can leave ,  but you have to be wary .

at home ,  they don’t care .  i’m better off there ,  where there’s nothing to choose so there’s nothing to lose .

wait ,  please !   i haven’t much time .

that makes no sense !

what is that you have in your hand ?!

i would recognize these beautiful eyes anywhere .

is that you ?  i’m blind ,  i can’t see .

you could’ve been killed !

i was just thinking of the greater good .

i don’t have the constitution .

as long as i can be no help ,  i’m going to hide .

i don’t know where they think they’re going .

this is who i truly am ,  my dear .

why did you run off ?

i will not come with you .

you leave me no choice .

i shouldn’t complain .

i’m not allowed to leave the palace unescorted .

if you’d like ,  you can come with me .

i shall not forget you ,  and how alive you’ve made me feel .

you’re hurting me !

stop ,  stop !  i said stop !

this is all my fault .

remorse will get you nowhere .

when you’re dead ,  you’re dead !

this is no time to be soft - hearted !

you’re responsible ,  you’re the one to blame .  it’s your fault !

you’re all liars and thieves .

you’ll just do what you do .

it doesn’t matter if we’re together or apart .

i’m sorry ,  i did a foolish thing .

i didn’t realize ,  i was being careless .  selfish .

you stole and got caught and did what you do !

i hated myself .  i ran away from my guilt and shame .

aren’t you making the same mistake ?

be better than me .

i knew you wouldn’t give up .

that doesn’t matter ,  now .

first ,  we’ll need a weapon .

i did not recognize you ,  what are you doing here ?

maybe i’m not your only love .

if you love me ,  why did you stray ?

i thought that if you were mine ,  i would never wish for more .

i was raised to be charming ,  not sincere .

i think you should go .

i’m glad you’re here to help me .

you are not alone .  no one is alone .

you’ll do nothing of the kind .

what he did was wrong .  he should be punished .

it’s not as easy as that .

who can say what’s true ?

believe me ,  no one is alone .

people make mistakes .  fathers ,  mothers ,  people make mistakes .

you decide what’s right .  you decide what’s good .

just remember ,  someone is on your side .  someone else is not .

i miss her ,  too .

how can i go about being a father when i had no father to show me ?

sometimes people leave you  …  do not let it grieve you ,  no one leaves for good .

things will be alright now .

"I...I don't understand half of what goes on around me. I don't get jokes or sunsets or poetry, but I know metal. "

A PRIVATE & SELECTIVE ROLEPLAY BLOG FOR david kostyk

PERSONASL ! dni

[duraskrial]

No thoughts...Just David working away in his workshop, often forgetting to eat or take a break. His mind spinning in a million different directions, promising himself he'll rest once he's finished this stage of a project.

[duraskrial]

david saw more than one chance and opportunity but he wasn't going to point that out to the tracker. Mal had done enough, scouting their path forward and devising a plan. David didn't have a military bone in his body. His mind was too preoccupied with materials and inventing. It's why he'd deferred to Mal.

Quickly, the fabrikator nodded. "Yes." But he felt he would mess up the soldier's operation. "But maybe I should stay behind. I'm not a fighter." Even when he'd been going through training, David had barely passed his classes.

@oretsevni said: we have one chance .  don’t you see that ?

[duraskrial]

The beta editor is the most unintuitive and clunky piece of technology I have ever used....No keyboard shortcuts, having to hunt and search for what style you want and tags ALWAYS popping up and being in the way. Tumblr really fucked us over again... It's like they make these changes to stay 'relevent' or 'current' or what have you. But in reality, they're screwing their customer base over, big time.

[duraskrial]

"but look," the fabrikator cried, pointing into the air. A rare smile touched his lips as he stood and marveled at the sight. It had worked. His invention had worked. The Grisha allowed himself a moment of happiness. Of pride and sense of accomplishment. To see them work on such a grand scale was awe inspiring. Already, the Fabrikator was crafting new ideas in which to use his inventions. But Baghra was having none of it.

"We are in war," David lamented. "We must take joy and soft-heartedness where we can find it." Even if those feelings were foreign to the inventor.

@madraya said: "this is no time to be soft - hearted !"

[duraskrial]

david wondered, briefly, if he 'had a thing for red heads.' He'd heard the term before, while he'd been scuttling along the halls of the Little Palace. Mostly in the context of female gossip. But as Clary cooed to him, vibrant smile on her lips, he couldn't help but think her beautiful.

what was his rush? His rush was that the General was waiting on the disks he was crafting for the Sun Summoner and the General did not appreciate tardiness. Even if the Grisha were taking a moment to revel in one of their beloved holidays.

"I do not know rest," David replied. "My work is never finished." Which was an understatement. The Fabrikator was always working on the next invention.

@masterwcrk said: what’s your rush ?  you’re missing all the flowers .

[duraskrial]

david did not do errors. In fact, he was so painstakingly against them, he would delay a project until it was perfect so he might present it to the General or a client. So he could rest assured that while Alina thought his calculations had been in error, they were not.

"I assure you it was correct." If that was the case, why then did the Sun Summoner dislike the conclusion? "Was this not what you were looking for?"

@suncalls said: "It has to be an error. It has to be."

[duraskrial]

Mobile starter call!!

[duraskrial]

Fear of disappointment is far stronger than fear of failure. Failure is apart of the process. Being a disappointment is confidence and esteem busting. Something David dealt with growing up.

[duraskrial]

Is it too soon to make a Zoya blog? Because it was a tie between her and David.
