thinking about how kostyantyn can’t really remember the bulk of their childhood.. he can only really remember stuff from eleven onward because that’s when his quality of life really began to get better— gradually, at least. but sometimes he’ll sleep and have dreams about things that happened to him as kid and he’ll wake up sweating and his heart racing and acting like it’s normal (it’s not)

[gonchayas-a4]

i posted this on the wrong blog at first so if you saw that no you didn’t but. kostyantyn’s romance overview <3 there’s a blank one under the cut if you wanna fill it out. edit: made a mistake by saying he’s neutral evil when they’re actually lawful evil. oops!

Arifin Putra in The Raid 2: Berandal (2014) dir. Gareth Evans

[gonchayas-a4]

it has been two weeks since fushiguro tōji died.

the bastard is dead and buried   ──  reduced to ash,  if they even gave him that courtesy   ──  but two weeks isn’t enough for his presence to leave.    he can still see the ruined buildings of the east campus whenever the trees bend just right in the wind,  just beyond his bedroom window.    he can still feel the slight oppression whenever he sits in class,  barely listening to yaga’s lecture while he slides another note to shōko.    he doesn’t even need to look at the bags beneath suguru’s eyes or the strain in his jaw to know that man’s onslaught still haunts him,  either.    but satoru has always been difficult.

he hasn’t tried reaching out to him.    not in a way that’s verbal,  at least.    ❪   doesn’t know how to do that,  doesn’t think that concern sounds right when it comes from his mouth  ──   ❫    so it’s always been small things,  like asking if he wants anything from shinjuku,  or staring at him more often than they used to;  trying to figure out what he’s thinking,  how he’s feeling.    they still can’t discern how he’s faring with near-death and evisceration,  but they do know his eyes have been lingering on them more than they used to.    even with the sides of their glasses guarded,  their peripherals still catch hints of the six eyes peeking above their own shades.    invasive,  all-seeing.    even now,  as they sit at an ajar dorm window and fumble with the lighter they stole back from yaga,  they see his eyes in the window’s reflection.    kostyantyn tries not to say anything at first,  trying to give him enough grace to look away,  but he doesn’t budge.    they turn their head towards satoru,  meeting his gaze, holding it,  before they turn,  exhaling smoke through an open window.    the clouds gather in multitude, dark at the edges.    thunder can be heard rumbling some distance away.    “    you’re staring.    there an issue?    ”

@enfaith,  as satoru,  responds,  not skipping a beat:    “    why has it started to feel different with you?    ”

for once,  he’s grateful he’s a good liar.    he can excuse his silence with another drag of his cigarette and buy himself enough time to wonder what he’s implying,  what he insinuates,  but his mind can’t find a single answer,  not when the question is so vague.    the smoke leaves their lungs,  and they do well to fan the stray fumes away and to the outside.    keeping their gaze trained elsewhere,  they cough,  feeling the slight scratch of a burn in his throat when they refrain.    and when he speaks,  it takes every fiber of his being to keep his voice even  ──

“    i don't know what you’re talking about.    ”

✿ + for nanami. i’m curious :)

PRE-ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIPS 0.2, ACCEPTING.

send me a  ✿  and i’ll fill out the template below.  bold for things i could definitely see or want,  italics for things i could see or am unsure of and striked out for things i don’t want or cannot see!

FRIENDSHIP.     childhood friends   /   work buddies or coworkers   /   family friends   /   friends with benefits   /   smoking buddies   /   adventure buddies   /   fake friends   /   recently friends   /   party buddies   /   friendship of need   /   dying friendship   /   circumstantial friendship   /   partners in crime   /   old friendship   /   [ your muse ] is the good influence   /   [ your muse ] is the bad influence   /   [ my muse ] is the good influence   /   [ my muse ] is the bad influence   /   opposites attract   /   ride or die   /   frenemies   /   roommates or flatmates   /   penpals   /   exes to friends   /   enemies to friends   /   other.

OKAAAAY.  there is so much we could work with here.  for starters:  they both went to the same school.  kostyantyn would’ve been in the same class as gojō,  getō,  and shōko;  thus nanami would’ve been kostya’s junior.  kostya during their tokyo tech days usually kept to themself besides talking to shōko,  but i think he would be nothing to polite to nanami considering he and haibara were like…  way calmer than satoru and suguru and he didn’t have to deal with any nonsense from them.  kostya’s ability to interact with other people their age was pretty stunted until they went to tokyo tech,  but nanami would have the fortune of entering tokyo tech when kostya was in his second year,  which means he would’ve become a lot more comfortable.  as adults,  i can kind of imagine both of them working in similar proximity?  kostyantyn does a lot of business at tokyo tech on behalf of kesar and as a middleman for the echelons,  so i can see them running into each other often..  never in the field,  though.  kostya is rarely assigned to exorcize cursed spirits given they’re publicly a grade two sorcerer and they’re too busy running around for the higher-ups.  (the black hound is a different story. obviously.) but still.  it’s possible.  we could also cook with the fact that kostyantyn literally disappeared for nine years too.  so.  [touches the ground]  there could be angst that can be cooked there,  especially since kostya disappeared only a few weeks after haibara died 🗿 2007 truly was the worst year for these kids

ROMANCE.     childhood sweethearts   /   [ your muse is mines ] childhood crush   /   [ my muse is yours ] childhood crush   /   exes   /   exes to lovers   /   forbidden lovers   /   highschool sweethearts   /   secret relationship   /   opposites attract   /   long distance   /   unrequited [ from your muses side ]   /   unrequited [ from my muses side ]   /   unrequited [ from both sides ]   /   skinny love   /   friends to lovers   /   enemies to lovers   /   spurious relationship   /   power couple   /   newly entered   /   soulmates [ metaphorical ]   /   soulmates [ literal ]   /   awkward   /   turning toxic   /   toxic love   /   cheating [ on your muse ]   /   cheating [ with your muse ]   /   other.

NOTHING HIGHLIGHTED BECAUSE BLAH,  BLAH,  KOSTYA’S DIFFICULT.  BUT.  i always keep my options open.

FAMILIAL.     siblings [ half ]   /   siblings [ step ]   /   [ my muse ] is an older sibling figure to your younger sibling figure   /   [ my muse ] is a younger sibling figure to your older sibling figure muse   /   [ my muse ] is a parental figure to yours   /   [ my muse ] is a child figure to your muse   /   guardian figure   /   legal guardian   /   adoptive child   /   foster child   /   [ your muse ] is taken under mines wing   /   [ my muse ] is taken under yours wing   /   other.

ANTAGONISTIC.     dangerous to each other   /   dangerous to others   /   unpredictable   /   rivals   /   petty   /   developing into sexual or romantic tension   /   based off family matters   /   based of off circumstance   /   based of professional matters   /   based off misunderstanding or lies   /   conflict of ideology   /   betrayal   /   hero - villain dynamic   /   enemies   /   fight club   /   friends turned enemies   /   lovers turned enemies   /   exes turned enemies   /   other.

well.  nanami being one of the most moral characters in this series might not clash well with kostya’s neutral evil alignment.  like.  that should be obvious.  kostya keeps his life as a civilian versus his life as the black hound pretty separate,  but at the end of the day,  kostyantyn does a lot of awful things.  i also know you probably have a nanami survives shibuya au cooking somewhere,  so a more antagonistic dynamic could happen if nanami survives shibuya…?  kostyantyn does join kenjaku and is declared an accomplice in the shibuya incident once shibuya concludes,  and he basically is working against the main cast at that point.  granted,  they do wake up and decides aligning themself with kenjaku isn’t for them,  but until that point comes,  i can imagine things being difficult between them.

PEOPLE I'D LIKE TO GET TO KNOW BETTER !

alias / name: amari! birthday: december 2. zodiac sign: sagitarrius. height: 5'11". and a half. the half is important. but i'm a solid 6'0 in most shoes hobbies: writing, gaming, piano, bass, worldbuilding, art, graphics, making patches for my jackets. favorite colour: black. duh favorite book: house of leaves by mark z. danielewski <3 last song: different sense by dir en grey. newest addition to both my sukuna and kostya playlist btw last film / show: jujutsu kaisen. recent reads: ........jujutsu kaisen. inspiration: gothic horror, gothic rock, bloodborne, dark souls, and ton of urban fantasy. final fantasy versus thirteen is a big one which is crazy because it got cancelled. unfortunately. jujutsu kaisen has also helped worldbuilding over here because there's a ton of cool concepts in there but it isn't really touched upon further..? story behind url: ok there is a lore reason for this one. leonti zakharov, the guy who gave the black hound a name, wrote his entire will and testament in russian, therefore referring to kostyantyn as the "chernaya gonchaya," otherwise translated as the black hound. so, gonchayas :) fun fact about me: i was once a microcelebrity (i only had like 25k followers on tiktok at one point) and someone recognized me when i was leaving los angeles and that scared me so bad it made me quit tiktok. now my account no longer exists because tiktok sniped it so. rip to my old account i guess

@gonchayas CANONICALLY THE STRONGEST PERSON IN ALL OF JJK

[devolusion-a2]

@gonchayas liked! / konstantyn & niya

"Stop looking at me like that," she says, sounding like their staring is more a petty annoyance than any kind of real problem. A mild irritant at worst. A far cry from their interactions months earlier, prior to the Black Hound's half - assed defections, where they'd been trying to kill each other and the mercenary had the gall to flirt about it. Niya reclines in one of Elysia's many hideouts — they'd given them both clear instructions not to fight, and if you do, do it outside so you don't fuck up my house — and finally looks up from their weapon to meet his eyes. "If I wanted you dead, you'd be dead. Neither you or Elysia are at any risk from me."

Not true, strictly speaking! They would in fact kill them both if they felt there was good reason to do so. But they don't. If they Hound is sincere in his devotion Elysia, then it would be hypocritical for Niya — a fellow ex - fatuus — to kill him just for his past association. And if he's tricking Elysia, or apt to relapse and kill her in a moment without control, then that's no real skin off her back, either. Would be annoying to find a new engineer, especially when there's no one who's Ely's equal. But! It would also be sooo fucking funny, which about evens out. EITHER WAY, Niya sees no reason to try and kill the monster now.

Her eyes glitter. "If you're so eager to interact, I'd love to hear 'bout how you finally grew a spine. Figured the Black Hound was too much of a kicked puppy for rebelling against its masters."

[gonchayas-a4]

he’s never been the easiest person to get along with,  fatuus or otherwise.    he can still remember the days where his comrades would always challenge him,  seeking a way to surpass him,  prove their own supremacy,  only to end up broken or worse by the time he was done.    he can also remember the days where her majesty’s adversaries would train their weapons on him,  desperate to end his onslaught,  eager to inherit his fame,  only to have their corpses thrown into a mass grave in the end.    even when they no longer carry the title of executioner with pride,  they never expected anything to change in that regard.    after all:    murder,  violence,  bloodlines destroyed by the vile sanctity of their blade   ──   

❪    сподіваюся ви знаєте що спокута не дається легко.    ❫

“    …didn’t grow a spine willingly.    ”    they say,  searching through the inner pockets of their coat until they find their cigarette case and a lighter.    ❪    they’ve been trying to quit.    trying.    it’s bad for the lungs,  never good to be that dependent on a substance   ──    ❫    but her mere presence still gives him a headache,  no matter how long it’s been.    kostyantyn inhales,  satisfied with the smoke in his lungs and the distractive flare of dopamine.    “    got busted,  got bitched at in court for a few days.    part of me really wanted to get the death sentence back then,  but i got sent to the fortress of meropide instead.    lovely place,  by the way.    almost considered staying, but fontaine’s a shithole.    still, being there gave me plenty time to think about what i was doing.    ”    he exhales,  hand fanning the fumes away.    the lit end of the cigarette is extinguished against the firm soles of his boot.    “    i don’t think i would’ve left on my own accord.    guess prison did something right.    ”

[gonchayas-a4]

it’s a scene they’ve rehearsed since youth:    violence,  corrode,  bodies deprived of life and mind.    when given the role of executioner,  the disgusting finish of blood through steel and fabric becomes as natural as breathing.    black-clad and victorious,  it stands again among another sea of bodies,  lungs heaving,  exhausted,  but content.    clawed hand grasps the leather and steel of their blade’s hilt,  shoulders hunched and staring at the body near their feet,  trying to ground their nerves, steady their breath.    slowly,  slowly,  it does find that peace.    the tremor of it’s hand settles.    the last of the dead quiet themselves,  but something else lingers nearby;    pervasive,  keen.    were it in the mood,  it would commend him for staying unnoticed ‘til now.

back straightens,  shoulders relax.    their sword rests comfortably in their hand.    for a moment,  they let the silence settle,  trying to enjoy a moment of respite before they find their voice again.    there is one beat of silence,  then another.    whether it be from the adrenaline or the dull ache in their skull,  their voice is anything but welcoming.   ❝    say something.    i’m not fond of voyeurs.    ❞    it’s a command without an address,  seemingly spoken to no one.    but as if on cue,  they hear the beams above creak slightly from movement and weight,  no longer quiet or trying to hide.    spoken from above,  @khadah’s disappointment is evident.    ❝    is that all?    the carnage in your wake could use a little…    presentation.    ❞

if the role had called for it   ─── if it were something more human ─── the black hound would’ve laughed at his critique.    however,  they do not scorn him with such mockery.    it’s head tilts back to stare into the darkness,  eye straining until they spot his silhouette amongst the shadows.    watching, expressionless. ❝    that all you had to say?    shame i didn’t ask for feedback.    ❞    they turn heel,  unafraid,  daring to place their gaze elsewhere.    ❝    you are an artist,  yes?    surely you can understand when someone doesn’t want reproval.    ❞

I don't think people truly understand the gravity of Rafah being bombed.

There is nowhere left to go.

The lowest cost is $5,000 USD to flee to Egypt. There has been people paying over $10,000 USD.

That is the only option

Pay or die.

Rafah was the only place in Palestine promised not to be bombed. That promise is broken.

1.5 million people have nowhere to go!

Reminder, if possible, please donate to the PCRF, ANERA, Islamic Relief, Palestine Red Crescent Society, Medical Aid for Palestinians, Defense for Children International - Palestine, Doctors Without Borders, and all other trusted organizations.

thinking once more about how physically cold kostyantyn and how it literally emanates from him. his hands are always freezing. you can hardly feel any warmth from his skin. the air will become colder and windows would freeze whenever he walks into a room unless he deliberately controls whether that happens or not. even the air they exhale can literally be seen because they’re just exhaling cold air. they literally stand impervious to sub-zero temperatures and will not suffer any physical throwbacks meanwhile other people will. someone please warm them up

❝    i’m twenty-eight.    ❞    his sharpness is unintentional,  instinctive in nature, not at all fond of being referred to as a child.    eyes flicker between him and the bottle in their hand,  holding it up as if to scrutinize.    ❪    they’ve always hated medicine.    ❫    ❝    what’s in this shit,  anyway?    if it sounds foul i’m not drinking it.    ❞
