alma  //  fategiven .

         “CALL ME ALMA.”  alma shakes mana’s hand, their eyes alight with some kind of mischief, before they begin to eat today’s concoction of oh god, was that real food, or just mayonnaise?  alma smiles at mana delightfully, before they ask,  “so what brings you to the black order, mana?NEW FINDER, OR SOMETHING?”

          he flushes just a bit, worried now that there is a RIGHT ANSWER that he’s supposed to give this person, like yeah, i’m a finder! i’m totally not the brother of one of your enemies! but he can’t bring himself to lie— not directly at least. besides, he’s currently under... a mild form of protection. so it’s okay. hopefully.

          ❛ no, actually, i’m not a finder, ❜ Mana says, glancing down at the “ meal ” Alma has before them. half intentionally changing the conversation topic, Mana gapes && adds, ❛ is... is that really your meal? ❜

there’s been an influx of female oc’s recently & my heart fuckin SINGS

protip ; dont give up bc ppl seem to flock to male muses much easier. dont give up bc female muses are judged much more harshly. dont give up bc the double standards between them is so disgusting.

write your female chara in spite of all that, bc they are strong and so are you, far more powerful than the hypocritical ‘ i love girls but dont give female ocs the time of day & hold them to different, twisted standards as male ocs ’ sexism tumblr perpetuates. 

dont stop writing bc ppl dont seem to be interested in her (and by extension, you, i know that feeling sucks but i promise it’s not true). write her bc you LOVE her and she deserves to have a platform in which you can express and develop her like she deserves, how YOU deserve as a writer to write strong, wonderful, female characters.

don’t let her & your confidence to write her be suffocated by this community that is infested with phake snakes. 

ur great, she’s great. female ocs are great.

          Mana didn’t quite know what to make of the way Miku had been looking at him during their approach, but whatever questions he had are quickly answered with the Exorcist pushing into his space, putting his back against the wall && then their hand down his pants. Mana’s face flushes, a strange && completely unfamiliar sensation flooding through him as Miku touches him in a way he has never been touched before.

          ❛ nnh—  M-Mi-Miku, what… wh-what are y-you doing….? ❜ the teen all but gasps out in question, bracing himself against the wall as he trembles.

“No, no, no, don’t die on me!” // for cross : )

&&. @keptwalking

          the sound of the SPLASH likely drew the boy’s attention to the seashore. what was found in distress was no fish, however. cross had taken a nasty fall from one of the order’s higher stories. in the last sliver of consciousness he retained, all he could feel was the concrete collision, salt water rushing into his facial bullet wound, flayed FLESH &&. BONE meeting cool night air for the first time.

         his LAST-DITCH EFFORT of throwing off apocryphos’s shot hadn’t gone quite as planned. his hair stuck to the morbid mess that was made of the right side of his face, his mask having flown off in the assault. he felt himself be dragged out of the water &&. the absence of more salt crashing into his wound was a relief, but the movement made it obvious that he had broken a bone or two after the fall. if he had the power or ability to summon his voice, he might have actually SCREAMED.

         instead, he was left at the mercy of some familiar voice’s concern. it echoed faintly on the edges of his mind, but his vision had already abandoned him. a memory pushed at his thoughts, but it couldn’t break through &&. cross hadn’t the WILLPOWER to chase after it. the voice continued to ring in the distance, &&. he could recognize vague notes of worry &&. despair, but it was fading away along with the last of his consciousness.

         if he’d had the ability to think, let alone wish, he would have liked to know he had been in mana’s arms in his last moments. as it were, however, his DYING BREATH only led him to cold, painful stillness.

this is probably not what people are looking for when following my blogs, but unfortunately, depression has been kicking my ass a lot lately. it’s tiring just to open tumblr, it’s hard to focus on replies, & as pumped/excited as i am for yes, literally every ic interaction i’ve had/that has been made for me as of now, i can’t seem to think of anything to write that is even half good enough to me. i’m aware that can just be self esteem, but at the same time, it may not be, & i want to be my best. 

likelihood is that i will lurk, queue some things, & maybe manage a reply every now & again. my discord is @the ultimate katou#1407 so feel free to hmu there, mutuals. i’m very sorry i can’t deliver like i want to, & like you all want me to. this might be a quick thing, & everything will be fine soon enough, but i hate leaving my blog quiet with no explanation.

@keptwalking liked the call

          “why HOWDY,”  alma says as they grab the only available seat in the dining hall, right across from mana.  “it’s nice to meet you, stranger.  i hope this seat isn’t taken.”  not that alma ACTUALLY CARES, but they have to pretend to be polite, they’re well aware.

[keptwalking-blog]

          Mana blinks, watching the other curiously. the seat wasn’t taken, no, but he didn’t know this stranger personally, && feels a bit flustered to engage with them so suddenly. ❛ er.. hello! th-the seat isn’t taken, no. ❜ he hesitates after saying that, && then extends a hand across the table. ❛ i’m Mana. what can i call you, stranger? ❜

[lelancier-deactivated20190429]

@keptwalking [closed starter]

Gold eyes cast up at the sound of the door opening and nearly slamming closed just as quickly, looking over the flustered looking stranger that just joined her in the study. Looks like they weren’t having the easiest of days to say the least.

Lips pull up into a gentle smile, the orange light of the setting sun reflect momentarily off her glasses, “Having some difficulties are you?”

[keptwalking-blog]

          he is in fact, having quite a bit of difficulties. Mana’s stress levels are through the roof, && while it’s definitely an amassing of multiple big things, he can’t help but feel like he’s just being ridiculous. it wouldn’t be the first time. 

          ❛ i didn’t mean to intrude, ❜ the teen says before bowing slightly. ❛ i.... am having a bad day and i cant find ANYTHING that i’m looking for, and i’m getting.... ugh. ❜

@keptwalking

           He seemed cold, and they would admit that the overcast weather outside was possibly the result of that. Upon hearing their name they unbutton their jacket, slipping it off and offering it to him. They might as well try to keep him from coming down with a cold if they can. Their skin may be below the average temperature, but they seem to radiate heat instead of being warm. They’ve grown used to the cold, but that doesn’t stop their innocence from trying to conserve the heat by covering their arms now as well as their torso.

            ❝ It’s rather cold out, shouldn’t you be in bed, or inside instead? ❞ They ask gently, faint concern underlying their otherwise blank tone.

[keptwalking-blog]

          he watches them for a moment, a bit puzzled, && then blinks, looking to the jacket && then reaching out to take the offered clothing. Mana’s hand grips the fabric but it is left at arm’s length as he hesitates to really take it for himself.

          ❛ i j-just wan-wanted to si-si-sit outside, ❜ the teen says, looking back to Miku. ❛ i-it’s o-okay, r-r-really, i j-just sh-should have put on a thicker coat. are you s-sure you don’t want this b-back? it’s y-yours. ❜

          Mana makes a note to himself to not sit anywhere easily accessed or seen next time he wants to sit outside, or to just dress better. Miku shouldn’t have to worry themselves over him when he’s just being an idiot, anyways— he sees no need in the Exorcist giving up their time && clothing just to keep him warm.

As someone with multiple bilingual friends where English is not the first language, may I present to you a list of actual incidents I have witnessed:

Forgot a word in Spanish, while speaking Spanish to me, but remembered it in English. Became weirdly quiet as they seemed to lose their entire sense of identity.

Used a literal translation of a Russian idiomatic expression while speaking English. He actually does this quite regularly, because he somehow genuinely forgets which idioms belong to which language. It usually takes a minute of everyone staring at him in confused silence before he says “….Ah….. that must be a Russian one then….”

Had to count backwards for something. Could not count backwards in English. Counted backwards in French under her breath until she got to the number she needed, and then translated it into English.

Meant to inform her (French) parents that bread in America is baked with a lot of preservatives. Her brain was still halfway in English Mode so she used the word “préservatifes.” Ended up shocking her parents with the knowledge that apparently, bread in America is full of condoms.

Defined a slang term for me……. with another slang term. In the same language. Which I do not speak.

Was talking to both me and his mother in English when his mother had to revert to Russian to ask him a question about a word. He said “I don’t know” and turned to me and asked “Is there an English equivalent for Нумизматический?” and it took him a solid minute to realize there was no way I would be able to answer that. Meanwhile his mom quietly chuckled behind his back.

Said an expression in English but with Spanish grammar, which turned “How stressful!” into “What stressing!”

Bilingual characters are great but if you’re going to use a linguistic blunder, you have to really understand what they actually blunder over. And it’s usually 10x funnier than “Ooops it’s hard to switch back.”

          he can’t stop shivering. he doesn’t know why, but he’s just so cold today, && it’s starting to take a toll. it is utterly exhausting, but all he can do is pulling himself in tighter && hope the sensation will pass soon. Mana tries to breathe in a gentle, slow rhythm, but even that doesn’t seem to help— his next plan is to look for a blanket, but then someone sits down beside him. 

          he feels like his neck will audibly creak if he looks over, but he does so anyway, && is considerably pleased to know he does not in fact creak.

          ❛ M-M-M-Miku? ❜ the teen stutters, biting down to keep his teeth from chattering after he speaks their name.
