It has all changed so much....

So apparently... I was born at the dawn of humanity... I thought it'd been a while, but apparently, it's been much longer now... I fell in love with Nemesis, but her mother did not approve, especially when Nemesis planned to give up her immortality and become mortal so she could marry me. He mother ended up forcing me into a bunch of challenges that I not only failed but died. And some reason I'm now back. Hi.

My amazing Nem <3 (i... don't really know where we stand right now... trying to figure that out...) @justice-bringer

Her husband who is very kind... I could see something happening there.... (we totally didnt kiss okay....) @retired-triumvirate-member

Nice guy i met who seems to be a good friend of Nems @the-great-emperor-commodus

Nems girlfriend who's real nice @bow-anon-rikki

Nems mother who got me killed and then brought me back to life thousands of years later. @night-itself

My son!!! Thats right i have a kid! No one touch him! @unlucky-fuck

Rp blog for my OC Ziven (from my blog @justice-bringer ) no nsfw, no spamming. Don't be weird. Inbox always open. Have fun and be nice :)

Archie why do i keep hearing people calling cats around you?

~ Ziven i forgot my url tbh XD

"Dad. They won't stop saying I'm a cat- I-" Archie stares off into space. "Damn. It's gotten so bad my dad is involved."

echos-from-the-past

Oh... thats... ridiculous.... *looks him up and down like hes just realizing* wonder... why thats a thing.... *yep not convincing at all*

"...You see it too, don't you?" Archie looks betrayed, pouting at Ziven.

echos-from-the-past

Maybe just a little... but hey thats probably just because I'm looking for it now!

"WHAT ABOUT ME IS CAT LIKE? I AM NOT AGILE-"

echos-from-the-past

Well... but your thin and jumpy?.... wait shoot was i not supposed to say that?????

"I. I am not thin. And.. jumpy? I don't think I'm all that jumpy-"

echos-from-the-past

*yeah hes shut his mouth. He doesnt see anything wrong with this but is scared that archie might have some insecurities he does not want to press*

"Does. Is it really just that I'm jumpy?? Is that why everyone's been calling me a cat?" Archie is pulling at his hoodie now.

echos-from-the-past

*okay yep he feels back* no no no! I mean i dont know! You'd have to ask them I was just guessing! Uhhh ugh... I'm sorry :(

"But like! They don't tell me- I don't care why people think it- I just want to know! People just look at me and go 'cat' with no explanation-" Archie shudders. "I can't believe I could probably be kidnapped via pspsps.."

echos-from-the-past

... please tell me you dont actually go to people who do that... right!?

"..I was curious about the noise and I looked around. I wandered slightly..."

echos-from-the-past

Okay... so new rule... we dont go near creepy or suspicious sounds please?

"Wow. Really abusing your status as my father.. But the pspsps wasn't creepy! It sounded nice- I understand why it draws in cats-"

echos-from-the-past

*he looks genuinely confused* How am i abusing my powers i said please😭

... okay but it was suspicious?

"You. Uh... Giving me rules. I'm not used to that." He's only half joking. "I mean, it was a strange noise? I guess a bit suspicious- but to be fair a lot of odd stuff happens around me."

echos-from-the-past

Oh... uh that... well i mean... not like a real rule... more like a figure of speech i guess? Just please dont follow the weird sounds... *yeah he could not set down rules or disapline good to note-*

"But. The weird sounds- How else would I get them to stop? What if it wasnt a kidnapping plot..?"

echos-from-the-past

And what if it is?

"I- Uh.. simply wont get kidnapped?"

echos-from-the-past

And if its to late by the time you realize?

"...i mean. Ive fought monsters before. And- who would want to kidnap me anyways? Also- you basically kidnapped me when meeting me!" Archie would get taken so fucking fast.

echos-from-the-past

That was different???? And you really should have been more skeptical of me to be honest.

"Well- uh. Yeah. But I dont think you realize how little self preservation i have-"

echos-from-the-past

PLEASE I BEG YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF FOR ME AT THE VERY LEAST IF NOT FOR YOURSELF???

"AH! UH! OKAY! I WILL!"

Archie comes up to Ziven, wearing a hoodie and pants despite the summer heat. He's holding Knight close and he looks really tired. "Daaaa-" He bumps his head on Ziven's side. "Hi!"

@unlucky-fuck

*he smiles* Hey son whats up!

He smiles, seemingly unable to sit still. "Theeee sky!" Archie hums, pulling his hood up. "..I got an energy drink and now it feels like my body is out of my control," he says wil deadly sincerity.

echos-from-the-past

.... i have no idea what a energy drink is but now im scared

"Caffiene." Archie looks up at his dad, his dark brown eyes flitting around furiously.

He hugs Knight close, goes to walk backwards but falls on his ass.

*he helps him up* is that a drug? Please tell me youre not doing drugs! *he looks genuinely worried*

"Well- it is a drug. But not like the illegal kind! It's uh." Archie hesitates. "A normal kind of drug? Dad, I am medicated for anxiety and depression- I am doing drugs."

echos-from-the-past

..... *genuine confusion over all this info*

How is it a "normal kind of drug"????? And what do you mean you're doing drugs!??!?!

"Like.. it's a stimulant, but its not as addictive as crack?" Archie smiles innocently.

echos-from-the-past

.... nope i dont like how this conversations going. No more of this "caffeine"

"What? No! I love caffeine- it's in everything! chocolate, coffee, soda.." Archie pouts. "I love caffeine.."

echos-from-the-past

.... Arch *he rubs his head so confused by everything* i really dont understand this well enough... can you please explain?

"Uh.." Archie hesitates, moving to explain- but suddenly getting hit in the face with realization.

"Arch? You have a nickname for me?"

echos-from-the-past

Oh... uh... yeah sorry do you not like it? *he shrinks down a bit embarrassed*

“No! I like it! Promise!” He smiles.

echos-from-the-past

*he ruffled Archies hair* good. Arch *he smiled*

Archie sticks out his tongue, shaking his head to try to get his hair back into place. “Good. Dad!”

echos-from-the-past

*he smiled proudly* love you bud. Now are you sure youre okay?

"Uhhhh.." Archie backs away, crossing his arms so he'll fidget less. "Totally. Yep. Yeah. Good!"

echos-from-the-past

*he gave Archie one of those dad faces that basically says tell me the truth*

"whAT??" Archie melts under the gaze. He tries to subtly move away.

echos-from-the-past

*he sighs* you know i worry.

"What is there to worry about? Im perfectly fine, Dad! You know I'm good!" He is. Very Obviously Not.

echos-from-the-past

Archie.... *he sits down* is.. is there a reason you wont tell me things?.... am.... is it me? Am i doing something wrong?

"No! No. Of course not." Archie wants to explain its something wrong with him. That something. Happened to him. That he's fucked up- and he cant open up. It'shis fault. But Ziven won't understand.

"It's not you- I. Nothing. Nothing is wrong-"

echos-from-the-past

*Ziven just looks down looking defeated and guilty. If only he was a better father. He shakes his head and buries it in his hands* love you kid... even if I'm not the best at showing it... i guess or whatever....

Archie looks at Ziven and tears prick at the back of his eyes.

"No! No- You're the best. You're the best dad I've ever- h- what am I doing? I love you- I just- I'm bad with emotions-" Archie is clearly struggling through his words.

echos-from-the-past

*Ziven nods and hugs Archie* i just wish i could help you through them.... but youre right... no use thinking so low of myself *he smiles hoping Archie catches his drift. He just wants Archie to love himself... poor kids self esteem seemed so low and he did not need to set a bad example like he just was.* youre the best kid i could ever ask for. Maybe.... maybe we can start with this. Can you think of anything i could do to help you feel more comfortable sharing?

Archie grips onto Knight. He can't look at Ziven. He wants to say it. To explain it all. But he can't. That- No. It'll ruin everything.

"What.. Do you want me to tell you?"

echos-from-the-past

*he shrugs* just... whatever you feel comfortable... we can always start small... I just want to earn you're trust... how can i do that?

"I. I do trust you- I do. Believe me. I just- I need to know what you want me to tell you. I. There's so much in my head. Constantly." He squeezes Knight tighter- his knuckles begin turning white.

echos-from-the-past

*he notices and puts a hand on archies shoulder* hey just relax... its okay... we're just chatting... is... is there something youre scared of? You dont have to tell me i just would like to help.

Archie is shaking slightly, overwhelmed by his own emotions and deeply upset.

"I- I don't know. I'm afraid of everything."

echos-from-the-past

*oh no oh no oh no hes made it worse oh no how does he fix this. He sighed deeply getting his thoughts together*

Well... lets see.... whats one fear you have that maybe i could help settle?

Archie collapses into Ziven's chest, trying to make himself as small as possible.

"I'm. I ggget in my own head about things- I don't. Kn-kn-know. I have nnnno ccclue how to fix it-" he begins to stutter through his words, struggling to speak clearly.

echos-from-the-past

*he rubbed archies back comfortingly* maybe i can help... if you ever have a problem maybe you can ask me? Two heads is better then one. Just whenever it happens maybe try taking a deep breath and pulling at some of the threads in your brain one by one. If you hold up the whole knot at once it can be overwhelming and hard to see where to fix it. If that makes sense.

Archie pulls away from Ziven's hand.

"Sorry. I don't. I really don't like people touching my back- and I'm just overwhelmed right now-" He pauses, contemplating Ziven's words. "I just. I don't know my problem. I get in my head-"

echos-from-the-past

*yep he felt bad. Goodness why couldnt he do anything right he felt like this was going no where but worse. He tried to take his own advice and breath* im... im sorry i didnt know... i do now though!

Take it slow... you'll figure it out. Youre a smart kid.

"No- I uh. I usually don't tell people about it- cause when I put up a boundary, people usually make fun of it and.. Yeah. Sorry. I don't- it's okay.."

Archie looks at Ziven, trying to collect hus thoughts. "I just. Im trying to work through it all. It's hard."

echos-from-the-past

Why would i do that? *his his turned a little to the side. He could never dream of mocking someones boundary much less archies* dont be sorry. I'm the one who made you uncomfortable.

I know... *he gave a reassuring look. He wasnt sure exactly what to do... but he could atleast be there and be understanding* im proud of you for how hard you try though. *he gave a smile trying to lighten the mood*

Archie looks at Ziven, his lip quivering, and he dives into a hug.

"I- I'm sorry. Im being stupid right now- I'm not- I'm not good with feelings-:

echos-from-the-past

Who is? *he halfheartedly chuckled* youve seen me. I'm a disaster!

Archie doesn't laugh. He seems much less lighthearted than usual. "I dont know.. I just feel like everyone is so much more in control of themselves than I am.."

echos-from-the-past

Thats just the facade. Everyone pretends to be more in control then they actually are. *he starts scratching at his scars as his eyes look deeper and there seems to be a hint of horror hidden in there*

Archie narrows his eyes, looking at the scars. "..How'd you get those- if you don't mind me asking?"

echos-from-the-past

*he just clears his throat still looking down at them before looking away and quickly saying*

When i died.

"Oh-" Archie immeadiately backs up, a bit intimidated. "We don't have to talk about it."

echos-from-the-past

*he shakes his head. He doesnt want to he really he doesnt. But he wants to be a good father more. And right now he needs to be a good example*

No... no its alright.... its time i told you more.... what do you want to know? *his head felt a mess he hated thinking about it...*

Archie scratches at his arm- his bracelets jingling beneath his sleeve. "Have you.. told me how it happened? I- Sorry if you have. I have a bad memory."

echos-from-the-past

Probably not...and don't worry about it. Its a heavy topic and you have enough on you're plate already.

"Yeah. Sorry for asking." Archie fidgets with his clothes. "I. Thanks for being such a good dad."

echos-from-the-past

What? Dont be sorry i offered to tell you whatever you want to know and i mean that!

*he smile as his heart melts. That meant more to him then Archie would ever know* its definitely easy when i have a good kid like you.

Archie pauses. The words sound nice, but.. "I. Hm. I don't-" Archie bites his lip, chewing off the dead skin as he thinks. "...I don't like how self reliant I am. It. Uh- I don't know how to phrase this without turning it into a full on trauma dump-"

echos-from-the-past

*he just gives a nod to show he's listening*

"I- uh. With my mortal family I was always ignored. And I- I'm really bad at making and maintaining relationships because of that. I'm trying really hard- but sometimes I think it would be easier if I was more difficult because I think sometimes people see me and think 'they have their life together' when I don't- and I want someone as equally fucked up as me to recognize that and-" Archie takes a deep breath and lets it out. "I can't let myself trust other people because, normally, when I do- my trust is shattered. I don't know how to fix that."

echos-from-the-past

*he nods listening and thinking about it* that makes total sense.... i know how you feel...

Archie looks at his hands. He can't meet Ziven's eyes. He picks at his nails. "Do you?"

echos-from-the-past

*he nods* its hard....when someone has hurt you so deeply....

"...I." Archie is almost entirely sure their circumstances are wildly different, but he rests his head on his dad's shoulder. "It sucks."

echos-from-the-past

Yeah.... we may have been through different things... but we'll get through them together... alright?

"I.." Archie isn't sure he'll get through this. "Yeah. We will."

echos-from-the-past

Im proud of you... i really am *he smiled*

There isn't much to be proud of

"I love you dad."

echos-from-the-past

Love you too *he smiled*

Archie comes up to Ziven, wearing a hoodie and pants despite the summer heat. He's holding Knight close and he looks really tired. "Daaaa-" He bumps his head on Ziven's side. "Hi!"

@unlucky-fuck

*he smiles* Hey son whats up!

He smiles, seemingly unable to sit still. "Theeee sky!" Archie hums, pulling his hood up. "..I got an energy drink and now it feels like my body is out of my control," he says wil deadly sincerity.

echos-from-the-past

.... i have no idea what a energy drink is but now im scared

"Caffiene." Archie looks up at his dad, his dark brown eyes flitting around furiously.

He hugs Knight close, goes to walk backwards but falls on his ass.
