    ❛    you cannot alter your fate.                        however, you can rise to meet it.    ❜ 

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

Being a good person is a choice. Don’t let people fool you into believing that truly good people never have bad thoughts, are never tempted by the easier path, by the low road, never mess up or act out selfishly. Never believe a person can be good without making a conscious effort.

Every single time you do something good, you’ve made a decision to make the world a little brighter.

Goodness is not an inherent trait, it is a choice. Keep making it! I see you, I’m proud of you, and I’m rooting for you!

“Leave before it gets dark.”

ghibli meme    →    @luporegina

                    ❛    the forest is beautiful at night.    ❜    words impart upon gentle voice as gaze roams over the expanse of the forest that lay before him. it is filled with wonders, both beautiful and deadly ( or was it she that he spoke of? ). more alive than the town that had settled below, the noise is a distant memory behind him ( long where he wished it could stay ). he had promised to help them rebuild, to set strong arms, and steady hands to purpose of a gentler beginning. but that did not mean he didn’t miss the forest. despite that, he would help to make a new iron town, one he hoped would resemble a future of peace, and not strife. 

                    and though she tells him to leave, he cannot help but wish to stay, to spend more time with her. he missed the lush grass beneath his feet, and the brush of leaves against his cheek. to feel the wind rush by as he ran at her side. iron town kept his hands busy, but his mind often strayed to the forest; a flash of white and crimson amongst emerald, dark eyes so intense one could be stricken down by them. gaze falls to his hand, the curse a fading mark that still branded his skin ( would it be permanent, a reminder of humanities mistakes? ). fingers curl against palm, to brush the curse before lifting eyes to her once more. gentle smile shapes lips, hand to press against flank of loyal steed and he bites his tongue on the request to stay. it mattered not what he wanted; it only mattered that they have a world where she could live in harmony with the humans and the forest.

                    ❛    yakul and i will come back soon.    ❜    the silent i will miss you left hanging in the balance, eyes the only indication of his sorrow at leaving.

[lastemishi]

                    he stands as sentry before the intruder, firm as the stone beneath his feet, hoping that his presence would deter the other from entering ( though he would not forcefully prevent him ). the forest was no longer welcoming to humans, as long as the lady eboshi continued her search for iron, and provoking the gods to action.    ❛    you should leave here. the forest is no longer safe.    ❜

                    she appeared to know the town well, and if there was any way to find information quickly, he hoped she would be able to help.    ❛    pardon me, but would you know of anyone well-versed in diseases?    ❜

                    he gazes upon the castle looming in the distance, swirling black smoke a scourge upon hyrule, tainting all that was beautiful. the calamity has destroyed all that one might love, and continues to threaten what remains. anger bubbles beneath his skin, reminding him that he still drew breath while his tribe lay buried beneath his feet. he turns to his companion, fists clenched at his side, gaze unwavering as he remembers his people ( their screams still haunt his dreams ). they had been torn from his hands as swiftly as if carried aloft a gale.

                    ❛    he has taken everything from this world. and still he remains. he must be stopped.    ❜

headcanon    →    self-sacrifice

as the last remaining prince, ashitaka took it upon himself to protect the village, and the people. he is now the youngest, and last son to survive the emishi, and though his life is important he values it no more than the others he protects. in fact, he puts the lives of his people before his own in every way. prince or no, he is not above doing the most menial of tasks. he hunts for them, fights for them, and provides for them. his duty to his people is his first priority ------ whether that be carrying the line or tending to a field. as is displayed in the movie, ashitaka is willing to give his life for a cause or person that he believes in. he does not hesitate, indicating a rashness about him, and a distinct lack of preservation for his own life. though it can be see as selfless in nature, it is also dangerous. he does not think before rushing into situations even though he would caution others to do so. he has always felt it was his purpose to give his life in service to those that relied upon him. for what is a prince without his people?

these acts of selflessness present themselves in a variety of ways. he helps anyone that is in need, whether they harbor ill-will toward him or not. whether he fights for them or with them. whether he tends to their wounds or offers understanding and kindness. he is the first to step forward and the last to retreat. it is his nature to give and give until there is no need for it.
