Other day of me trying to convince the people of the Snows and Casca in a toxic bisexual polycule, from which he was kicked out. I add a thing to the concept, we found out of this under Coriolanus Pov, who is himself in a toxic bisexual polycule with Lucy Gray and Sejanus, and its scared of them kicking him out.
notes: it's rin itoshi, and the relationship is pretty ambiguous but there is comfort there. a hinted heartbreak with some nameless npc on your part. pre blue lock.
From Itoshi Rin’s point of view, you are downright pathetic sometimes.
Sitting beside him, you sobbed loudly into his scarf. Your snot wetting the fabric all over the place in form of messy and most probably gooey spots that Rin would never touch even with a pole—he would burn that scarf or threw it to your face later. This was the third time you were like this and Rin wondered why he even bothered sitting beside you at times like this. He could be practicing and yet—
“Rin!” you wailed suddenly, pulling his hand that you had taken hostage since thirty minutes ago. “Are you listening?”
“No,” Rin answered bluntly. As a response, you kicked his shin weakly, which he returned with half the strength he used on soccer balls.
“Argh!” you yelped, hugging his right arm tighter. With a glare, you protested, “How could you do that to this heartbroken me?!”
Rin just made a face at that, as if asking were you sure you could stand the words he was about to spit at your face. Your glare shifted into a pout that belongs more to a elementary schooler instead of a highschooler. Thus, with that, the small war between the two of you—classmates, neighbors, and childhood friends since the two of you started crawling—ended.
At the edge of the empty field, Rin and you sat in silence. You stared blankly at the setting sun, meanwhile Rin wondered how he could get you to let him go back to his practice. But, in a way, what had been present for more than a decade had its way, so Rin just sat in silence while stealing glances of your figure, leaning on his side slightly. He, of course, would never admit that even under torture.
“Rin,” you began again, this time with a voice that was smaller and just a step away from a quiver. “…do you think anyone will ever like me back?”
Hearing your question, Rin merely stared at you wordlessly from his peripheral. He watched you put away his scarf to your right, gently as if saying that, yet again, you would wash it and return it him later. And if he told you to fuck off or called you names as bad as he did after that snowy night with his brother, he knew yet again you would just came back and attach yourself to his side like a goddamn parasite.
Unable to hold himself, Rin scoffed and looked away from you. “As if I know.”
You laughed bitterly and lightly, “Yeah. As if.”
Rin didn’t give you any reply. He let you sat with his hand trapped in your arms for another five minutes, before roughly shoving you away with his leg. As an act of vengeance, you threw a shoe to his head and miserably missed.
“Pathetic, lukewarm moron,” Rin spat coldly as he walked back to the field.
“Shut up, soccer clown!” you shout back before shifting your sitting position into a more comfortable one.
Rin stayed for another six hours in that field all while you sat at the edge, wrapped in his jacket that you had yet again taken by force from his bag. This time, Rin didn’t insult you.
Hollow Knight spoilers head! Just a small Lil rant about one of the endings that I really really REALLy love
Y'all can't even begin to understand how much this Void Heart ending moment means to me, that's their sibling!! Their little failed Vessel sibling, who beat the shit out of them just a moment ago, about to put an end to the plague they were supposed to seal away for eternity!! HK fakest idgafer ever, they are clearly FULL OF LOVE AND EMOTION for their little sibling. They are PROUD to be united in Void and I won't listen to anyone else.
okay, ig i can sorta see why ppl think they're in the fade prison
but equally possible that this is just the fade. or even if it is the prison, it's already been broken? like the gods escaped. that was a thing that happened. and even prior to the ritual going wrong, the prison was weakening
besides, the visual is totally hopeful and optimistic. it's all golden and glowing. the 'prison', if that's what it is, is a sun now
so... yeah. i don't get the read that solas and lavellan are imprisoned. to each their own! but i don't get it. if anything, i think my interpretation, especially wrt what solas plans to do, is that they are starting their work in what was the fade prison, now open, because that's also where the blight is
but solas is blood-bound to the veil now. so really, more than the prior read, i see this as the fade. the surrounding ring is the veil, not the prison itself
