you walk across the bridge of han river, face void of any emotion. staring down at the water every so often, the way it crashes against the support beams sends a pleasantly unpleasant feeling across your entire self.
the fine line between passiveness and aggression claw at you silently as you trudge on. the hoodie you wear doing little to protect you from the rushing wind and pouring rain. droplets flood the uneven surface of the walkway, dips and cracks so insignificant you wouldn’t notice if it weren’t for the downpour drowning them. the paved path is slippery, dangerous. but if you were to fall that would be embarrassing no? someone like you? someone happy? someone funny? slipping in such an unceremonious manner? so suddenly? you could if you wanted to though, if you stopped being such a coward, such a fucking coward. you tried three times, or failed three times but this time one tiny step and you could feel the rush of air as you fell, feel as free as a bird soaring through the sky. but birds can’t fly to well in the rain, the weight of the water burdens their wings, drags them down with the extra effort. the water down below would drag you down, you wouldn’t fight it though would you? you don’t fight the sting in the shower, don’t fight the way the metal handle gets too hot when you make Jisung instant ramen at stupid times. Oh. Jisung. he’d be sad if you…tripped. this is his hoodie, you can’t let anything happen to it.
you back away from the ledge, blank expression still etched onto your face like anything else would be like carving into a slate of stone you walk back to the dorms in deafening silence.
“Maknae-yah!” Chan’s warm voice, appropriately scolding as you walk in dripping fresh rain water, “you’re soaked!”
you smile teasingly, genuine? not? you can’t tell anymore, you just don’t want to be the weight holding down your groups wings, “jeez, hadn’t noticed that”
your leader huffs grumbling under his breath as he shoves you upstairs to the bathroom, you spot Felix on your way to an inviting shower, “oh pix~” you call out, singsongy. the blond pales at what he knows is coming, “sunshine please, think of skzoos, our children, jisung—“ too late, your arms are wrapped around him tight, he yelps but that doesn’t stop his arms from curling around you. “meanest sunshine ever”
I can just imagine a downward spiral after that, with the turtles becoming more closed off and only wanting to stick together and privately grieving while the og cast is in shambles without ragatha especially Kinger who literally held on cause of her and is basically a father figure towards her
Yes…yes….YEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!! LET THE ANGST SOAR!!!!
I’m having SO many thoughts about it right now— The Turtles rarely speaking and taking their eyes off each other, Raph lashing out and screaming at Caine or whoever else dared try and talk to him, whether it was for comfort or confrontation, only staying calm with Leo Donnie, and maybe Zooble if they managed to calm the kid down enough. Donnie being a sobbing mess every time he’s alone and becoming terrified when he’s separated from the others. Leo just being…numb.
The cast would be reeling too, from watching a literal child- a 14-15 year-old boy- succumb to abstraction, and taking with him, Ragatha. Maybe they’d realize how awfully they had all treated Ragatha, except Kinger of course. I can picture when it happens to her, Kinger’s senile until he comes face-to-face with Ragatha’s now abstracted form, and he suddenly realizes with horror and slowly goes “…ragatha…?”
We already saw what would kinda happen in ep 9 if Ragatha abstracted, but instead of becoming that sociopath weirdo, Jax- being the fucking cowardly asshole she is- would just either freeze up and melt down, or if she DID actually snap and start hurting everyone, I either want Zooble, Gangle, Raph, or all three of them to beat the absolute SHIT outta that rabbit. Mostly Gangle, cuz she deserves it the most.
Slowly but shakily, Pomni would keep everyone together, I’d like to think. She’d check on everyone, probably tie up Jax or just keep an eye on her depending on what would happen, comfort Donnie, but the moment she’s by herself, or saw something of Ragatha’s, she’d break down SOBBING and muttering that she was so sorry- for taking Ragatha for granted and leaving her behind for Jax, for not being there for Mikey and making sure he was ok, for trying to protect the kids from Caine and all the other bs in the circus. Maybe Leo would be there too and they’d both cry together- Pomni holding Leo tight and promising she’ll be there for them, that she won’t fail these kids like she did one of them and her best friend. Leo holding on because they don’t know where Kinger is, and they just really need someone to hold onto.
But meanwhile, with everyone in shambles, an abstraction runs around roaring and shrieking until she catches sight of a smaller, more bright-eyed abstraction hiding in a corner, shivering. The bigger one walks closer and murmurs to the smaller one, until they’re coaxed to come out, and he nuzzles her, glad to be reunited with someone who really made him feel TRULY cared for until Caine puts them in the cellar.
How you think Hanahaki AltMal gonna go? Or EziLeo?
Altaïr and Malik are two dumbasses who would have hanahaki for each other and hide it from everyone, creating a torturous loop of the two of them knowing their love for one another and believing the other would never love them back.
Leonardo would have to suffer through the hanahaki and Ezio would figure it out but he won't realize that he's the one causing it so Ezio would be trying to save Leonardo by looking for the one that dared not love Leonardo while Leonardo will take it to his grave.
Can J have one of her dead kids come back to life? Even if it's for a short amount of time? X3
(...sure why not? And for extra pizazz let's make her the same age as Harlow.)
J heard the rustling of metal behind her. She whipped around to find a drone with peg legs like Harlow, but with black and yellow DD stripes.
She was wearing a white dress, similar to Tessa's. And her hair was in a thick white braid. She had yellow eye lights and the same knife tail as Harlow.
J narrowed her eyes. "Who are you?"
The younger drone smiled softly. "Shame you don't remember your first daughter...Mother."
Immediately J ran and hugged her, crying quietly.
"Tessa."
"Glad to see you remembered me." She said, hugging her back.
