› prompts from rachel gillig's novel the knight and the moth (2025). feel free to tweak as you see fit , bartholomew.

❛ you don’t have to be good, or useful, for someone to care about you. ❜

❛ when you do the right thing for the wrong reason, no one praises you. ❜

❛ we all want to be special.”

❛ what is right and wrong depends entirely on the story you’re living in. ❜

❛ which is more intricate? the designs of men, trying to reach gods, or that of gods, trying to reach men? ❜

❛ people who love you for your usefulness don't love you at all. ❜

❛ you want to throw me down. ❜

❛ i, prideful, disdainful, godless. ❜

❛ i want to drag you into the dirt with me. ❜

❛ you know this story, (name,) though you do not remember it. ❜

❛ to tell a story is in part to tell a lie, isn't it? ❜

❛ it's hard to see who i am when i am lost in what's expected of me. ❜

❛ fear not, (name!) every day has its dog. ❜

❛ if you only ever look up at something, can you ever see it clearly? ❜

❛ it is easier, swearing ourselves to someone else's cause than to sit with who we are without one. ❜

❛ take my hand, you strange little creature. ❜

❛ it sounds awful when i say it out loud. ❜

❛ you are more special than you realize. ❜

❛ i would do anything for you. ❜

❛ i cannot decide which i like best. the sunrise, or the sunset. ❜

❛ i was losing my faith in everything. ❜

❛ the two of us meeting… it felt almost divine. ❜

❛ i think her quite the bitch. ❜

❛ how undignified. ❜

❛ did anyone see me fall? ❜

❛ i want someone to see me. ❜

❛ i want it to be you. ❜

❛ no honor among thieves, and even less among gods. ❜

❛ i’ll do anything you ask of me. ❜

❛ if i were beside myself, there would be two of me ❜

❛ oh, (name.) he's dreamy. ❜

❛ do you want to know how it ends? ❜

❛ does it end? ❜

❛ it ends when you kiss me. ❜

❛ why do we do these things to ourselves? ❜

❛ you’re an incomparable fiend, (name.) a truly accomplished asshole. ❜

❛ i’d like you better if you were on your back again. ❜

❛ it is not like me to be the bearer of bad tidings. ❜

❛ am i all that you imagined? ❜

❛ your hands are marked by the blood of my metamorphosis. ❜

❛ whatever my soul was made of was frail. ❜

❛ violence is a craft. so is compassion. ❜

❛ no is a sufficient answer. ❜

❛ anger is a fine weapon. ❜

❛ now have some soup. ❜

❛ i will shoulder any weight you give me. ❜

❛ would that things were different. ❜

❛ i think i would like to stop promising myself away, or else there will be nothing left of me to give. ❜

❛ i don’t know why i say the things i do. ❜

"hey x, is your refrigerator running? you should go catch it," nine deadpans.

— ╳ THOUGH X RAISES A BROW , he replies in kind — deadpanned and lacking intonation. “ I prefer a free-range approach for my kitchen appliances. ” As if to console Nine’s ( mock ) worries, he shakes his head and sighs. “ Don’t stress. It’ll come back eventually. Like you always do. ” It’s meant to be a jab of some kind, like Nine is a fly he can’t discourage with a mere swat of his hand, but… The joke falls short of carrying any bite. Terrible.

lil 4th wall break thing i did on a twt screenshot hoho

[killthisdestiny]

❛❛ you know, china has the highest consumption of rabbit in the world … ❜❜ just saying !!

Wrinkles nose. “ … If you’re implying you want to eat me, I’ll have to politely decline. You should take someone to dinner or a movie first before you ask things like that. ” Not very gentlemanly of Mr. Perfect Hero to skip several steps in a row, now is it? ( Though this is not what Nice meant, the opportunity to ruffle feathers was too tempting to pass up. )

[tarotsdivination]

"Why can't I hug you? You're acting like I'm committing a crime by caring."

[killthisdestiny]

— ╳IS THAT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT? A hug? X raises a brow, somewhat incredulous. “ I’m no expert, but I don’t think hugs require the full force of a spontaneous tackle. ”

And yet, the tension in his body wavers. He tentatively, awkwardly, pats Divinity’s shoulder, like he can’t quite figure out what to do with his arms while hugged. “ No occasion? ”

[killthisdestiny]

Tackles

-scrambles, realizes the futility; limp noodle tactic engaged-

“ Ow, alright, okay— What’s going on, where’s this all coming from? ”

[killthisdestiny]

touches him

-jolts and curves away like a cat who suddenly lacks a spine-

[getvalentined]

Top hero, X—known to all and known by none.

Imagine waking up one morning and the material nature of reality just no longer applies to you. Fucking terrifying, honestly.

[killthisdestiny]

— ╳ SHIFTING REALITY IS A FLASHY POWER . In the eyes of an eager audience, it’s exciting to witness Hero X in action. He’s suave with it. Creativity lends itself to quickly constructed spontaneity. He knows what to do, how it should look, and when to take action. It helps that everyone believes X is omnipotent. When they see him, they recognize him as someone beyond human.

So in his everyday life, it could be a struggle to maintain his desired normality. Some days, when he’s played pretend for too long, he stops… fitting in. Literally. Trust is a fickle concept, fluctuating with the will of the people, and I have to imagine X sees it. He feels it and its impact on his body, not to mention the air around him.

( No one else picks up on the changing animation styles. For all we know, they’re shown only to us and to X, who uses it to bolster his imagination. But, I’d bet it’s overwhelming. )

Imagine all those colors. The inked edges of people and places. The manifestations of laws of physics (and laws of X’s own making) appear in heavy-set font when he toys with ‘em. He seems to have more control over the 2D, and can shift 3D into 2D when it suits him; it has to come with drawbacks.

He is an anomaly, after all: a being stretched between a grounded world and that which exists unseen to the naked eye. Out of place, defiant. This makes his powers spectacular to watch… and it also makes his life a living hell.

What if this is exclusively what X sees when worn out? Scribbles of every color all at once, overlapping into vague forms. He has to make a serious effort to hold threads together, to discern fact from fiction… lest he snap like Zero did. As frequently as he lives without breaking a sweat, he can nevertheless wind up debilitated. Depends on the day.

The ending sequence of episode 24 confirms this struggle. X’s head exploding in colorful, overwhelming flames tells me all I need to know. It was not an easy road to learn the ins and outs of reality-bending. And still, despite his growing experience, he may stumble.

He doesn’t understand the side-effects of Trust, either. Got confused when Smile mentioned it. He’d act similarly if any other hero broached the subject. What do you mean, you’re stuck a certain way because of your believers? Why do they control you that much? Maybe he’s stupid. Or, call him lucky. He won’t agree, because the grass is always greener, but he would walk away from the convo a little more… thoughtful. Not to mention a little more certain that society is fucked up.

TLDR: X keeps the negatives of his powers under lock and key. Nuh uh. He’s so super strong. Has no repercussions to his ability whatsoever — except, as he jokes once, his fingertips could blister from snapping so much.

[softymuii]

[killthisdestiny]

— ╳ NICE EXUDES CONTRADICTION , from sickeningly sweet words to overly languid gestures. Disingenuous. X gives him more credit than perhaps he deserves. Nice is a good actor when he wants to be, especially on TV — so the open sass while around him is quite an honor. Better than sanitation or dilution, anyway. This is human. He’ll take it.

X shakes his head, brows furrowed, grin perplexed. “ I don’t know about you, but talking is not one of my requirements. ” Why would it be? Time well spent takes precedent over meaningful discussion. It’s why he doesn’t feel pressured to contribute to the running commentary at his office. Voices would lose all meaning without some silence for balance.

“ I’ll leave if you ask. ” He gestures over his shoulder with his thumb, noncommittal, because anything he has to get back to can wait. The city feels at relative ease today. Up high, civilian chatter drowns in the wind. Traffic is but a low buzz. X hears more from the birds that stop by than he does from conflict. It’s peaceful. ...He’d rather not bump up other agenda items to fill this gap, if he can help it. “ You could just humor me, though. I promise I’m not that bad. ”

the real battle in s2

[killthisdestiny]

❛❛ . . . not you again ❜❜ sassy but beautiful, he's rolling his eyes. is hero x following him ?! shoooo

— ╳ BLATANT ROLLS OF EYES HAVE LITTLE EFFECT . Perched from above, X’s legs dangle off the billboard’s ledge. Wind whips at stray hair; he cards strands back and offers Nice a smile. Blissful ignorance is merely an act. If Nice’s intention was to mock or aggravate, it’s not working. X has much, much thicker skin than that.

“ Someone’s happy to see me, ” he retorts. Nice is most definitely not. Annoyance tugs at every permitted facet of his expression, clear as day. It doesn’t detract from his star-quality either, a type perfectionism which, on all counts, should be unfair. Except, being unmarred by emotion might as well make one emotionless.

X leans over. Fingers curl beneath the metal lip of the catwalk. “ I don’t run into you on purpose. In case you forgot, we share a profession. ” He’s here observationally, same as anyone else in their line of work. A patrol. Lunch breaks provide the perfect amount of time for surveying his usual route. When things go well, he’ll even snag an extra snack on his way back. “ Are you against the company? ”
