‘ just a small dumb bitch…. living in a lonely ditch ’ from hana jkdsglfhdxsgdfd

“  –  Oh.  I’ll  …  keep that in mind. ”     TO HER CREDIT, she really tries to take the answer in stride, but can’t seem to keep a quiet, nervous laugh from slipping out.     “ Well, I guess ‘ how are you ’  IS  a pretty open-ended question, but I was really asking about how you’re doing. ”

i've always had this headcanon that aqua makes the /best/ fruit pies -- ven can't get enough of them! they're his comfort food & he can smell them baking for a mile away. given the chance, he'd probably scoff the whole thing on his own, so she needs to keep a close eye on anything she bakes with him around!

this is absolutely precious and let me raise you: what if those pies were one of the first things she made for him when he first came to the land of departure  &&  she saw how happy they made him and went welp, guess i’m making these forever

cute things!! / always accepting. ( @wingbladed !! )

[startshxtwithme]

What is the cutest headcanon you have for my muse?

[stephysource]

i’m kind of annoyed at the communities belief that dropping threads or liking a starter call and not responded is a terrible thing. like that belief of “oh they didn’t reply to that one starter i wrote one time they’ll never reply to anything why should i even bother”

i don’t support that at all.

so basically, if you don’t mind that your partner may drop threads or not reply/maybe forget to reply to a starter, please reblog this? its so unhealthy for someone like myself who gets afraid to drop threads on the chance that my partners may think i don’t want to write with them, or worse BECAUSE i dropped it they won’t want to write with me.

its a bad cycle to end up hoarding drafts because you’re afraid they’ll be mad at you for dropping it. so if you don’t mind at all and will still continue to want to write with them, reblog this and let your followers know that you are okay with them dropping threads, and you won’t hold it against them.

i know the long strands of hair on the back of aqua’s hair are probably supposed to resemble flowing water or smth but to me it just screams   “ i cut my own hair at home and just leave all the strands i can’t reach ”

lightmimic‌:

She’s still hesitant, perpetually afraid of BREAKING SOMETHING —— but she sits besides Aqua and listens to her speak; gives her space to let the aching out.  And it’s — strange, the thought that occurs to her:  she’s like me.  Some part of the memory girl wants to recoil from the very idea (  aqua is bright and brave and good and has never wanted to kill her best friend / has never been the reason her best friend grew weak / has never been a puppet with clipped away string  ) but in this, they are…the same.

EVERYTHING IS BETTER NOW.  I’M HOME.  AXEL AND ROXAS ARE SAFE.  So why does she flinch when people touch her?  Why does she hear the word it and recoil?  Why does she at times feel too small for her body and at times too big for it?  I DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO BE SAD ABOUT, BUT I AM.

“— I feel that way, too,” Xion says softly, not looking at her.  (  eye contact is still something she struggles with.  )  “I’m safe, and I’m back with my friends after I gave up hope of ever being with them again.  But ——”  Her eyes lower.  “I don’t think it’s crazy.  Being a person means carrying around all the bad things alongside the good things.”  That’s what she gathers, anyway; she’s new to personhood.  “Just because things are better now doesn’t mean the rest of it just disappears.  It’s — okay to be sad, or feel like things are different, even if you’re still happy that your friends are okay.”

Like a LIGHTNING FLASH, she’s stunned to silence. Xion understands. It only took her a moment to sum up all the messy, confusing feelings Aqua’s been all but drowning in ever since her rescue. It hits her harder than expected, but the burden weighing down on her heart suddenly feels lighter than it has in a long while. 

“ You’re really wise, aren’t you, Xion ? ”    For someone so new to personhood, she sure seems to have a much better understanding than Aqua's gathered in her thirty-something years of it.     “ Maybe that’s what’s messing me up so badly. I always thought  ...  they would just disappear. That everything would be better  &&  back to normal if I could just get home. ”   And it is better, she notes. LEAGUES better than a decade-long fight for her life, that’s for sure. But it’s a far cry from the happy ending she’d been banking on.

A quiet, defeated sigh.  “ I want to be done with it. I want to move on  ...  but, I guess it isn’t always easy to leave the past in the past, is it ? ”   

[thechocobros]

“You abandoned me, that’s what. Left me in this shadow prison for more than a decade, knowing what it would do to me … […] You should have known i was stranded. Do you have any idea of lonely it is here? How frightening it is to have no one? All that’s left in my heart is misery and dispair …”

FROM STRENGTH TO WEAKNESS: AQUA’S TRAUMA IN FRONT OF THE DEMON TIDE THAT TORTURED HER FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS

[masteredgrace]

arpeggxo‌:

Myde’s plans had been a simple trip to the market to grab some supplies for the castle, though he’d hardly left the gardens before those plans were derailed. Weren’t things suppose to be calmer now? The look in the woman’s eyes said otherwise. 

Only…why did she look at him as though she wanted him dead? He couldn’t deny the certain…familiarity to her look, yet Myde was sure they’d never met. Perhaps they’d crossed paths around the city? Confusion overcoming him, bright blue eyes gave a cursory glance around. Nope, nobody else was around. 

“I…What do you mean?” How was he supposed to answer that? He was just trying to go to the market! “Are you okay? Do you need some help?” Though he tried to resist the urge, his fingers twitched at the temptation to summon arpeggio. 

She feels her heart catch in her throat   &&  blood turn to ice in her veins at a single, terrifying flash of doubt  --  WHAT IF SHE’D DREAMT HIM UP ?  Those years of darkness are a blur of hallucinations   &&   hazy memories, and the real and unreal doesn’t always match up the way she wishes it to.

But she REMEMBERS him there, clear as anything. He’d fought her and it hurt ;  he’d taunted her and it sparked real anger  --  Aqua can still feel it to this day. She needs that to be real. 

“ I saw you there. Down in the darkness. ”   Violet eyes still blaze, but her tone of voice is low  &&  deadly calm.  “ You tried to kill me. You said  ...  terrible things. But I left that place behind, so how are you still here ? ”

its been like 14 years when will my girl finally get the spotlight she deserves!!

@wingbladed replied to your post “you will absolutely not convince me that aqua walked away from terra...”

all of these comments would have been more effective if they'd...actually happened? if we'd seen aqua's master title "going to her head", if we'd seen more of terra using the darkness, if we'd seen tension rising between the three of them instead of it being shoved in our faces at random. i always felt that ven's comments come SO out of the blue in that moment that i just. rejected it from my own canon RIP.

exactly !! thank you !! so much in that scene feels like it came out of nowhere and that’s what really frustrates me about it. aqua’s whole arc could have been about her managing her title / actually letting it go to her head + then the boys reactions would’ve made more sense ... but it wasn’t ?? even aqua accusing terra felt so out of the blue bc every disney world ended with her saying she trusted him. 

kjhgf i really feel u on the rejecting canon thing bc i feel like i’m always bouncing between wanting to give that scene the reaction it should have gotten and completely writing it off bc it doesn’t make sense.

❛they aren’t even nightmares; they’re memories.❜ // inbox call!

IT ISN’T RARE  for her to be up at this ungodly hour  –  but he hasn’t asked about that, so she keeps it quiet. It’s much easier to be glad to have the company for once ;  to just sit at his side  &&  listen. Aqua doesn’t really know  (  Axel ? Lea ?  )  as well as some of the others yet. Finding this common ground between them, as much as she wouldn’t wish these plaguing nightmares on anyone, is unexpected  …  and something of a comfort. At least she isn’t the only one bothered by them.

“ Sometimes they’re one and the same, huh ? ”   Hers are  YELLOW EYES  and inescapable darkness right at her heel. They’re sinking into a deep, inky blackness  &&   loved ones vanishing right before her eyes. She doesn’t know Lea well enough to ask, but she hopes his aren’t anything like that.   “ It’s so much harder when they’re real. You can’t just wake up and say ‘ oh, it was just a dream ! ’ ”

A quiet sigh slips out, hugging both knees tighter to her chest.   “ Do you think it’d help if I stayed here with you ? I … probably won’t be getting much sleep tonight anyway. ”
