* starter call.

mutuals only ; plot preferred ; capping at 5-10 depending.  i don’t normally do these, but i kinda wanna get active on my blogs. these will probably be medium to long prose, just a warning. if you like this post, i will either hit you up or jot something up based on current plotting we already have — mains and ship exclusives will get priority.

supergiant games sentence starters.

the goal with these is to be a mix of possible threading material or even just action-y type starters; some may be lyrics from the game soundtracks as well. most of the ones from pyre are taken from trailers and the pax east gameplay preview. also, these are just some lines or lyrics and i tried to steer clear of spoilers.

bastion —

listen, all this takes a lot of gettin’ use to, and you do get used to it… after a while.

there’s three things i’ll always miss though: one? not havin’ to watch my step all the time. two… ah… forget about two, and three… i miss the songs.

so, build that wall and build it strong ‘cause we’ll be there before too long.

i set my sail, fly the wind, it will take me back to my home, sweet home.

i see your star, you left it burning for me.

gods ain’t gonna help ya son, you’ll be sorry for what’cha done.

they ain’t gonna catch you when you fall.

you’ll be pleadin’ while you’re bleedin’.

they ain’t gonna heal ya son, don’t care about what’cha done.

no matter what happens now, you done good kid.

now… there’s something i want you to see.

did anyone else survive?

if i could be anyplace i wanted… i’d stay right here — we could go anywhere in the world.

nah, i’m just foolin’.

— i’d hate to be in your shoes.

well… it’s a touching reunion…

glad you showed up…

sometimes ya just need a drink.

right back at’cha!

get up, kid!

c’mon, that ain’t funny… i said get up!

you’re a mighty fast learner.

the dead? the dead ain’t gotta worry about this mess.

i ain’t one for long goodbyes, so here’s the deal —

although, after talking it out like this? … guess i’m beginning to have my doubts.

our world? she’s done… but there’s a way to put it back together, so better get ready.

together, we’re gonna build something grand.

— and remember… you ain’t in this alone, that’s a promise.

proper stories are supposed to start at the beginning… ain’t so simple with this one.

transistor —

hey _____ — we’re not going to get away with this, are we…?

together again — heh. sort of…

yikes…! found us already.

they want you back i bet… well, so do i.

ok, let’s go!

look, don’t fret, just… do something? 

hello world — look at all that.

we’re on the edge of town, a hundred blocks away.

still too close to it, we better get as far from there as possible.

… i’m so sorry, _____.

i couldn’t stop them…

s/he’s tracking us?

ok, side street due east — through there.

i think i know a place where we can get a ride.

this didn’t used to be here…

look, whatever you’re thinking, do me a favor; don’t let go.

it’s just skin and bones.

you always go, walking on coals.

i hear you buzzing, a fly on the wall, in through the window and up through the hall… flying in circles just trying to land.

maybe you’re looking for someone to blame, fighting for air while you circle the drain.

never be sorry for your little time.

it’s not when you get there, it’s always the climb.

but i won’t save you.

when you speak i hear silence, every word a defiance.

think i’ll go where it suits me, moving out to the country.

you tell yourself that you’re lucky.

lying down never struck me as something fun.

i won’t become a number in the system. zeroes and ones? not me.

i will always find you like it’s written in the stars… you can run, but you can’t hide — try.

pyre — 

let’s get down to business, chum!

hey chum, you know how to read, or what?

you may call me _____.

see — right on schedule! what’d i tell you?

you told us we’d find someone alive…

someday! i said we’d find someone alive someday… just not today i guess, but don’t be glum.

you know, i see you frowning underneath that mask!

it looks like s/he’s breathing.

broken, shaking, starving, probably diseased… yeah, good luck with that there, chum!

you have an hour at best.

i won’t be long.

don’t care who you are or what you did, none of that matters anymore — all of us? we’re equal nothings here.

turns out you’re tougher than you look.

what!? then what are we waiting for?

silent treatment, huh?!

now now, don’t you play dumb with me here, understand?

i ask you for something simple in exchange.

— sorry to put you on the spot like this, friend.

that horrifying petrified mountain thing that no one with a lick sense goes near? … great.

well — this ought to be good for a few laughs at least… what do you say, _____?

i’m counting on you, friend.

it is safe enough for us to travel by the light of day, but at dusk? we stop.

you could join me for a little stroll if you’re feeling up to it.

in any case… i do what i can to stay busy — it keeps the sense of isolation well at bay.

i see that reports of your demise have been exaggerated, just as we were beginning to think you were gone for good… 

i trust you remember my face, though you must have assumed to never see it again after last time…?

never had i come so close to freedom, only for you to dash my hopes.

---  @iradori.

          pale digits tapped idly at the spine of the small sketchbook in hand as though there was some lack of certainty in the artist — but whether the uchiha was aware of as much, sai felt indebted. he’d taken his time to come to the moment presented ; the other’s birthday in conjunction with a friendship, unless it were more now…? carefully, and dutifully over time, adding in pages to the book with character studies of the other ; adding him into the rightful place he had amongst delicately drawn expressions of hatake kakashi, uzumaki naruto and haruno sakura. depictions of a once whole team, and one, now reunited — perhaps even a family? … sai had, for now, kept himself and yamato-taichou out of this book — for a handful of reasons, namely? they had not been within the original line-up of the team, and he felt unsure of adding either of them by no means to ‘speak’ ill of their potential value. and according to the book he’d read? a gift is supposed to have some kind of meaning to the person it was intended for.

          he wondered quietly if it would hold meaning to sasuke…

❛ i — i read that it is a customary practice to offer a gift when expressing one’s gratitude to someone, and i did learn --- i hope correctly so --- that it is your birthday. ❜      he pauses to extend the small leatherbound sketchbook to the other with a smile less practiced and less mechanical than the ones he was known for, a quiet nervousness underlying the emotion at the forefront,      ❛ so, happy birthday --- and, thank you… ❜       he didn’t really think anything of his own lack of explanation for the latter, at least not unless the other were to inquire.

shipping status.

as of right now? my shipping status is that one of my ships is active at the moment and that is with @iradori --- i have other ships, yes, but i gotta hit people up because i’ve been absent from sai over the past handful of months... and i want to be sure we’re still wanting to ship and such before i just list off what could be old and or former ships.

when i ship? i am multiship, but even in that i ship relatively exclusively. for example:  in shipping with @iradori, i am only willing to do platonic things with other portrayals of sasuke and really? no more than maybe one other, if that, to be honest.

give me all the pain your chest carries. give me all your burdens. give me all that you’re too tired to hold on to. I’ll house it for you, all the parts of you that you don’t want to keep for a while, I’ll keep them within me.

"You've been gone awhile..."

             eyes dark enough that definition of his pupils was as hard to define as he was settle on the uchiha — a strange sense of relief penetrated the exhaustion still lingering from his mission. it may have been a day or so since he got back, but he still felt as worn as he had when he stepped over the threshold of the hidden leaf’s gates. the notion of home didn’t fully strike him til now ; til hearing such a remark from someone important to him. it was interesting how words so simple could provide a strange warmth and welcome, sai’s mind offered as the corner of his mouth quirked.

            it was a nice thought, a pleasant feeling.

❛ — it is customary to say ‘i missed you’ — i believe, ❜    a soft crinkle of his nose as he realizes that sounds mechanical and distant… yet? it was a truth he could little deny. he had indeed missed his comrades, but it was a different sensation when it came to current company. he had research to do. gentle confirmation fell from his lips next,    ❛ i did. ❜

verses : current.

digital art — this is set to be the modern verse, which i am still world building for but will be posting some basic details on soon. this verse will also loosely operate as my marvel / dc / comic applicable verse.
