I HATE ATLANTIS SO MUCH. HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE EXCUSE OF A SYMPATHETIC BACKSTORY!!!! HE'S JUST A LITTLE ADOLF HITLER WHINING HOW HE DESERVED BETTER THAN BEING A LITERAL GOD(god of men, god of Cities) HE'S NOT HELPING PARIS(Atlantis says he'll get better)(he feels so alone) HE HAS VIOLATED CITIES IN SUCH A WAY THAT THEY BECOME INSANE(he took away Roanoke's choice) AND HAS THE GALL TO SAY HE'S HELPING THEM!!!(sorry if this got too emotional)(I really hate hypocrites)(at least some humans try)

‘he doesn’t even have the excuse of a sympathetic backstory!’

me: ...doesn’t he? 👀

you: ...does he?

me: does he? 👀👀

Atlantis slowly emerged from the water. His purpose was to find another ghost and bring them home. (is that what you call it? tell me brother, will you drag them through the door as well?) When he entered the café, you sat away from all the humans. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a man in military fatigues sit down next to him. "Hello, brother." Atlantis jumped out of his seat and looked fully at the man. He knew that voice. He knew those eyes. "Sparta!"

“You want a war? We’ll give you a war.”

jedbartlet replied to your post “jedbartlet replied to your post “It is nearly impossible to write...”

yes that's right they're mine so i say you can't be mean to them lalalalalala (he ALREADY cornered one of them you ALREADY made me cry about this)

You haven’t actually seen Atlantis and Portsmouth’s first meeting tho I should write that it is...interesting

prepped all my stuff for the Lost City Stories. The collection’s tentatively titled ‘Those That Sing’ because nanowrimo insisted I think of one on the spot. Getting my halloween groove on with various playlists, seems appropriate for what I’m about to write.

Do you have anywhere where I can read all the lost city arc in one place? I only recently joined this verse and am lost trying to sort through your blog.

ahh that arc doesn’t...really...exist yet? That’s probably why you’re confused. 

I started talking about Atlantis pretty early in the fun facts and then he got his own tag, where I kind of reveal more about him in the tags with each post & reblog. You can piece together part of his story (by working backwards with the earliest posts) but not all of it.

There are only a few depictions of Lost Cities (in the Lost Cities tag) and how they became Lost, and also what they and Atlantis are doing/planning now but again, this hasn’t been fully written yet.

So its June 6th, about 184 years after the rebellion, how is Paris holding up?

The doors and windows were barred, the police on the street, and Paris the city was in high alert. One police officer looked to the next as they stood at the corner of the street, occasionally ducking round to look at the single figure that stumbled through the street beyond.

‘What’s he doing?’ one of them finally hissed, tightening the grip on his gun.

‘He’s just...standing there.’ 

The person- the City- had been recognised as a Lost City by their cctv software, and this portion of Paris had been quietly evacuated in case of an impending fight. Cities had been called, Rouen was on his way. His voice had trembled on the phone, and that hadn’t made the Captain feel any better about this.

‘What do we do?’ one of his men asked him. ‘Captain?’

The figure was still standing there, staring up at the buildings with wet eyes as if searching for something. He was holding a bottle, of all things.

This was bizarre. A trap? 

Then the Captain remembered the ruins of Versailles. New Orleans disappearing into the mud. Manila ravaged. 

It wasn’t worth finding out. 

He signalled to the sniper on the roof. 

‘Take the shot.’

Behind them, the City spread out his hands, and waited.
