“all the world’s a stage, unfortunately.

meet allie ✺ allison jane hayes

— the girl who never learned how to move quietly through the world. she speaks in quicksilver thoughts and half-breath laughter, feels everything a little too deeply, and lives as if hesitation is something meant for other people. at Briar, where she studies theater, performance has become second nature - not just beneath the stage lights, but in classrooms, crowded hallways, and all the fragile little moments where everyone expects her to hold herself together more gracefully than she truly can.

…she is wit wrapped in warmth, sharp-edged when she needs to survive, and impossibly alive even in the middle of disaster. the kind of girl who can take heartbreak, chaos, and all the ugly parts of living and turn them into something almost beautiful simply because she refuses to let the world swallow her whole.

beneath all the laughter and easy charm, though, allie is still someone in the middle of becoming. constantly recalibrating. quietly searching for who she is when no one is watching, needing, expecting. when there’s no script in her hands and no role left to play. she has never fit neatly into the shapes people try to give her. instead, she resists them, rewrites them, stumbles through them with bruised grace until they begin to feel like something she chose for herself. so maybe that’s what this chapter of her life really is: a slow unlearning. a realization that she does not have to keep shrinking into the version of herself that makes everyone else comfortable.

now for the first time in a long time, allie hayes is beginning to wonder what it would mean to choose herself first and not apologize for it.” —

Not to be Controversial on main or anything but.....

tbh I didn’t know how I’d like Dragalia Lost because I heard my friend talking about crafting and was like ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i dont want to granblue grind on ANOTHER game and then I took a cursory look at the characters to see if any appealed to me and the ones that did at the time (so right near release) appearance-wise at least - aka Mikoto and Xainfried - their descriptions were just kinda....... meh. Very Fire Emblem one-note side-character tier. That plus the 3D stuff I didn’t really like and the art style that’s nice but also kinda cutesy gave me the impression of a game that took the worst pieces of other games and that  I simply wouldn’t enjoy it and so I had 0 desire to play it.

But in actuality I........ really really like it? I’m still kinda meh on the actual battle systems bc I don’t like the KH style running around + I don’t like 3D models in mobile games, but I think the game is crafted really well in terms of like...... being able to interact with characters and like story portions and stuff? I don’t know why, but getting new characters in gbf and having to read their Fate Episodes always feels like a chore, but in Dragalia, I do it automatically.

As for characters....... I mean I’ll be real. Characters like Mikoto still doesn’t feel like anything more than his description entails, but at the same time I feel like it’s alright? It’s fun without becoming annoying, most of the interactions focusing on [insert gimmick] don’t overstay their welcome, it’s fine. But then you have shit like the New Years event that w/ Ieyasu and co that mixes fun and lighthearted with like........ shit that actually makes me Feel Things

And then character interaction outside of just the story bits....... I really like the little halidom mechanic cuz it’s cute to decorate and cute to see your units walking around and hanging out. I also like the how dragons are like...... actual characters and you can bond with them and give ‘em gifts n stuff. Gilgamesh was my first 5* dragon and the first dragon story I got and like...... it’s literally just Gilgamesh’s story which I’ve heard a thousand times a thousand different ways, but the way it’s paced and written....... that shit hurted

I know a lot of it is due to it being a newer game and being able to get The Formula Right, but compared to other newer mobile games I’ve played, this one just seems like a lot of fun

besides, daoko is a constant presence so that is a definite plus

Kara wished she could blame him for the lingering ache.

After all, it was Skylar who left her for his selfish wish to see the world alone. It was him who disappeared with almost no trace save his one photo he took in one of his too many destinations. There were little to no words from him, as if she was not supposed to know anything about him at all. Sometimes it seemed that he quietly swept her away from his life, despite the fact that she had seen him at his best and his worst as well, and she never rejected him, didn't she?

It felt like he rejected her in his life. She felt like she didn't belong in his life no more.

All she wanted was not for him to stay with her. She had always known that he was not the one who could stay still. She had accepted his wanderlust. His desire to wander was inseparable from him, and she loved him wholly. She knew he was never meant to stay. She knew he would have to go, to explore the unknown, and never did she think to try to put a stop on that. To take it away meant that she changed the person that she loved for whom he was, and she didn't wish to do that.

All she wanted was for her to be a part of his life.

And she didn't mean that they had to live together happily ever after, the way most romance story ended. Their demigod lives wouldn't allow that to happen in the first place, and she wasn't asking for romance, either. She only wanted to know him. She only wanted for him to tell her about his life. She only wanted for her to be there when he needed her, and she would love if he was there for her.

It seemed like a simple wish. 

And yet, she kept thinking that their distance was simply too far for her to take a part in his life.

It seemed to her that he went farther and farther, leaving her behind, alone and worried.

Is he fine? Where is he? Does he meet monsters? Is he lying on the floor somewhere, trying to get help only for no one to notice? Is he even still alive?

....those questions were lingering on her head, waiting to be answered, and there were no signs that indicated their waiting would finally end.

And she wished she could blame him.

But she couldn't.

Who said that he was supposed to tell her about his life? Who said that he had to make her the part of his life? Who said he had to be responsible for the ache in her heart? 

(No one.)

And if he decided that she was not meant to be in his life, she couldn't help but to respect his decision. Worse, she knew she couldn't help but to understand his decision.

It was his life that mattered at the end of the day.

And hers was not about to stop, with or without him.
