Missed Calls
Elias’ trip to the States was scheduled before you started dating. It was an unfortunate coincidence your birthday also fell in that week apart. He had been apologetic, giving you extra attention and more lingering kisses in the days leading up to his trip.
He even left you a gift box to open on the morning of your birthday. Now that it came, you hesitated. You wanted him there, to feel the intensity of his gaze while he watched you open it. The tension as he wondered if you liked his choice, your nervousness as you unraveled the mystery and tried to suppress your giddiness.
You felt most of that, but you were alone. Longing for his gentle laughter and soothing words. For that tender blue gaze that let you know, even if the man himself was forever a mystery, his feelings for you were anything but.
You looked at your phone, wanting to try calling him again. He had missed the last one. You kept track of the time difference. It was late at night for him, late morning for you. Your heart sunk when you thought of him being too busy and too distracted to even reach out. It made you miss him more.
The gift would either alleviate the ache of that separation or it would worsen it. You decided not to wait the two days for his return and untied the ribbon wrapped around the pink box.
Inside was an assortment of little treasures and sweets that made you gasp. You pulled different items out one by one, stacking the chocolates to one side, the plushie beside it, and a box with a white gold bracelet inside. Nestled in the corner was a rolled up paper tied with a ribbon. You unrolled it and recognized his elegant handwriting.
You were barely a few words in when your eyes misted. Insistent, refusing to be blinked away so you could read his sweet words. You wanted to know them, for them to soothe the longing for him, but more certain it would probably have the opposite effect. If nothing else, knew you were loved even when you were a world apart, especially on the first day you hadn’t heard from him at all.
You sighed and put the letter down, barely a line in. A knock came at your door, forcing you to abandon your gift and compose yourself. You opened the door to a bouquet of flowers, held by your boyfriend who was supposed to be time zones away.
Several long seconds passed, him smiling, your mouth hanging open in shock. Your questions died on your tongue. They could wait until after you tackled him, throwing your arms around his neck and making him stumble back a step, laughing at your excitement.
“Elias! You were supposed to be gone another two days!”
“I was, but I couldn’t miss today.” He kissed you deeply, making up for lost time, uncaring that you were still on your doorstep. His hand pressed into the back of your neck, angling to deepen your kiss even further, part of him intent on never letting go.
“But what about your mother?”
“She had a class reunion out of state, so she’s fine. May I come in?”
You ushered him in, only realizing then that he still had his suitcase with him. He must have come straight from the airport. You smiled to yourself, shy about expressing how fluttery your heart felt at the surprise.
“Why did you tell me? I wanted to pick you up from the airport.”
“And then you’d have had to deal with that wait. When you’re so close to seeing your better half that time slows down to a crawl. I wanted to spare you from that.” His eyes crinkled at the corners as he looked at you like you were his everything.
“Are you saying you’re my better half?”
Elias laughed airily.
“You’re by far the better half of us.” He wrapped his arms around your waist again and lifted you to sit on your dining table for more reunion kisses.
“Oh,” he pulled back, a thought returning to him. “Did you open your gift?”
“That’s what I was just doing!” You moved as if to hop down and retrieve the presents he left before his trip, but he refused to let you slip away from him.
“The rest can wait. I brought even more for you from the States.” Elias pressed his forehead to yours, placing light kisses along your cheek and jaw to evade your questions about what exactly he brought back.
The rest of your morning was spent catching up as you made crepes together. Your eyes kept meeting, both of you delighted at his early return.
*SLAMS DOOR OPEN TRIPS AND FALLS* HIIIII LIN<3<3<3<3 lin...hear me out.... Knight Haku‼️ cause u know, we're his princess get it? *nurses dragging me outside*
melll huge brain as always knight haku riding to save his princess huhuhu….. on his little tanuki…….
send me a ghoul + a hirono for a doodle!! [closed!!]
I know I said I'd answer this ask when I cleared all of the matchmaking requests, but at this point I'm pretty sure it will take me forever, soooo I decided to answer you first 🤣🤣
I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN I GOT YOUR MESSAGE (and still AM!!) 🥹🥳🥳 Like someone gets my crush on Hyde, yiiipiieee! 😍 Not that this is particularly a winning argument of our taste in men, honey pop but oh well ...
But anyway, YES, I'm gonna write it, I don't know when yet but I already made some notes hehehehe, I'll give you a sneak peek as a treat:
"Oh? And how do you think you could convince me?"
You open the buttons of your shirt a little, fully knowing what you're implying. Your heart thumbs like crazy, knowing this is the make or break point. Either he will scold you and kick you out, or ... His gaze rakes over your body, mind finally catching up with your intentions, voice dropping. "You sure about that, little one?" (blowjob, riding, good girl, too big, stretching, the risk of being caught only spurring you on, chuckling, soft and quiet moans, thumb brushing over lips ...)
This is me, (Ash) probably just being insane and rambling but oh well, I don't give a shit I'm having fun >:) and new tag for this because I need a tiny sense of organization on this blog for my own sanity lol
I've decided to read through tkdb again since (unfortunately for me and my wallet) it has become a comfort game. So here's some of my notes and commentary and whatever else I feel like writing down, formatting might be weird since I'm writing on my phone and will probably be too lazy to fix stuff on my laptop :p
And as always, despite the fact that I'm rereading early chapters this is ⚠️ not spoiler free!! ⚠️ As I bring up evidence and mention things from later chapters!
Prologue
• Started an alt finally, my main acc I chose to save Jiro, this time I picked Tai, ough my poor babies...
• The line MC says "it feels like their time was cut short" has always stuck out to me, and granted it can easily be applied to MC and her curse but I wonder if it has more intertwined meanings with the ghouls. The concept of time seems to over all be a heavy theme throughout the story, (timelessness - heavy references to many greek, Roman, and Norse mythos, the Mc having direct association to Hera, Edward as whole. Vs Time constantly moving - Ruis curse, the price of hesitation throughout all of s1, and Taiga seems to be a bridge between the two concepts because he remembers)
• "If I'd known it was going to end like this, I wouldn't have fallen for them in the first place." GIRL. THE FORESHADOWING COULD NOT BE ANY MORE HEAVY HANDED.
• still curious if the affection system will have a bigger role to play in the story than just unlocking voice lines for the home screen, I hope so tbh
• I remember my first impression of Darkwick was literally "what in the Hogwarts ass build is that??" And I still stand by it lmao
• Though I do wonder if we'll ever get more information on the institute because the original before game release mentioned it being very heavy on that.
• since I'm reading this by starting an alt account, man this story feels a lot easier to digest with the MC being Luna instead of self inserting myself in, but then again I've always struggled to put myself on what are supposed to be "blank characters" for the sake of roleplay, and the only exception to that has been Joker P5 because he has some unhinged choices that I would actually make 💀
• On the topic of alt acc. shenanigans, my main account if I go back to Hyde doing the house sorting no matter what I pick I get Jabberwock, and this time I finally got Sinostra so Im wondering if your results get locked after the first time because I know I picked wildly different answers on main and still got Jabberwock
• Honestly I kinda forgot how much mechanic dumping happens within the first like 7 episodes between Haku mentioning the lost property, the warding cards from Hodge and Podge, the ghouls and academy as a whole, the institute, there's so much shit happening.
• The noise I made when I saw Hyde. Hate that man. Nothing will ever make me hate that man any less with very few exceptions. The way I would- [ censored for legal reasons advised by Ritsu Shinjo ]
• As much as I hate the bitch, as a student in undergrad I would be highly interested in reading the research papers that Hyde produces as well as the theoretical labs that he would have to hold in order to do his research. Also would be fascinated to read Prof. Nicholas' work and Yuri's, I'd be way in over my head but I'd thoroughly enjoy it.
• Honestly props to MC for taking shit the way she did?? I forgot just how bad I fucking felt for her off the get go, if I was in her shoes I'd be so pissed off omfg- Like bitch you can't diagnose me with magical flower cancer and expect me to just be okay with being held hostage because of your fantastical diagnosis even if I believe what happened as the truth like hello???
• Knowing Jin and Frosthiem is the first chapter after this too? God poor MC, I would be so beyond pissed off. I love Jin, genuinely he is such a fun character and one of my favorites, but if I were the MC I would have slapped him so fast 💀
• Honestly I would've cried myself to sleep the first night at Darkwick. Long and Short of this - we love MC on this blog, she deserves so much better from the academy and institute
• Clash cleanup on the same day as the entrance ceremony and general student house reassignments? Interesting Cornelius. (Ep. 10)
• Nicholas' phone call I didn't really give a shit about the first time reading through the game but, now that I look at it again, a search party? "You know where they are!?" That's, something to keep note of. (I suspect in hindsight now after s2ep3 it's in relation to the Dionysia ghouls)
• Good lord I always forget just how loud Kaito is 💀 Honestly props to his voice actor for all of Kaitos screaming LMAO
• Romeo's phone call, something escaped? I don't remember if that was ever clarified later or if we have an explanation for that. Is he referring to a Dionysia student?
• Man. The foreshadowing of MC being called a guardian angel by Kaito and him saying that he was born to protect her hits a lot harder knowing the end of season 1...
• I <3 the chaos combo. They're so silly even off the get go. "You made her sad asshole! >:(" "I'm so sorry, I've been rude :(" GOOBERS. I LOVE THEM.
• Honestly I wish zzg would go back and optimize older backgrounds cuz some of them are hot shite in comparison to the later ones, especially the ones made for the campus like Cornelius' office.
• PROF. NICHOLAS MY GOAT I LOVE YOU SO MUCH 😭 genuinely nothing but kind and understanding to MC
• whehsbsjsj Haku.... Examinar Haku... Always kind and gentle... Hate him /j
• Maybe this is the student in me but I'm sitting here listening to Cornelius yap about how ghouls come into being and I'm like CITE YOUR SOURCES. SHOW ME PROOF AND EVIDENCE AND RESEARCH!! None of the ghouls to the latest chapters in the story have ever described actually devouring the demons they made a pact with - during the last goodbye chapters they've only described the process of their wish making and gaining their stigma, as well as earlier chapters described the wishes granted to Alan and Kaito during their backstory reveals. So I'm less inclined to believe the notion that the ghouls have devoured the demons they made a pact with until further proof arises which does fit with the nature of the ghouls being under researched.
• "We thought Hera's Snakes was a dangerous anomaly that caused the death of the wearer" 1. The foreshadowing couldn't be heavier, 2. Have I introduced you to my good friend the Kyklos-
• After all the shit poor MC goes through before the entrance ceremony Kaito and Luca truly are such a relief to see, honestly I'd love to paint the candlelit auditorium
• Kaito telling MC to stay away from Vagastrom and Sinostra will never not be funny to me because those are the houses I usually self identify with LMAO
• also while the sorting of the first years happen I think it's a fun little detail that the house themes play when they've been sorted
• "The whisper of the new moon refers to the tidings that alerts us to the birth of a new ghoul" - Haku in the latest chapters share with us that Darkwick is pretty tight lipped about how they gain awareness of the new ghouls, but with the statement here that the Chancellor says, part of me wonders if a deity tied to the moon or ocean is involved with the process of alerting the institute, but also it's entirely possible that the Kudan's prophecy is referring to the actual lunar cycle vs Cornelius' interpretation that he presents here in the prologue.
• Kaito crashing out about not wanting to be a ghoul is so real and so funny in the moment, knowing his backstory though...
• Forever thinking about when talking to my older sister about tkdb I described wickchat as a mix of twitter and reddit and she physically gagged lmao
• To some extent I think the Kudan's prophecy is true that the ghouls are champions who can save the world, but who knows.
• One of the things I remember gathering when I was reading the story through for the first time was that the first 7 missions are not only exposition to the 7 houses, but also remain unchanged during S2, after the Mortkranken intro mission that's when the timeline shifts and new missions are added in. So I'm curious to see if when we hit a theoretical season 3 and Ultio/Clementina is introduced to us all of the Dionysia missions will be subbed out with them or added in addition to the other house being functional again.
• I will say I am curious to see how many timelines we have to go through to be able to get a good ending, but at the same time since I hate myself (/j) I wonder who will sacrifice themself for MC at the the end of this timeline
With that, that's the prologue yap done! If you read until this point thank you for reading my probably semi incoherent thoughts! And please feel free to yap to me about stuff while I'm rereading the chapters.
Have a wonderful rest of your day/night
