Wow okay so it was REALLY TEMPTING to go with the obvious route of QB doing pg-13 things to galacta while he was tied up but that just never happened
and it was more fun to try this instead. even though it is completely ooc for galacta because of his stick in bum butthole black and white impossible to reconsider shit pov of things and it's been eons since I've seen/read anything from regular galacta's POV. anattemptwasmade.jpg
Title: Chains of Apathy
Rating: PG? PG-13?
Prompt: "write a drabble about your character freeing mine, or the other way around, or something among the lines [be it freeing them from jail, from handcuffs, from a trap, from a curse, feel free to specify.]"
“QB.”
“Galacta. Whatever brings you here this evening? Are you finally going to kill me or are you going to attempt to convince me to pick a side once more?”
The star warrior bristled at her tone, but kept calm. “To talk. I came here to talk.”
“About what, pray tell?” QB spoke as airily as ever, always seeming to enjoy aggravating the former knight.
“If you truly care about that child that you are raising, then you’ll leave that horrendous company.”
This got the blond’s attention. Almost would have made her incensed if she had not recalled that the Knight had seen how she acted around the child when he was corrupted.
“Tch. I see you’ve been combing through unpleasant memories.”
“The Art Sorceress told me that she refuses to kill you because of the child’s hold on you—or perhaps I should say your hold on him,” Galacta spat. He didn’t like having to do this, having to argue, let alone convince, someone who willingly worked for any Nightmare. She had done enough to make him convinced that she would never be worth saving, but his recent discussion with the Art Witch on his plans to save the kid had revealed that some things had changed. “If it is enough to cause the witch to halt in killing you, then I feel that I must try once more to convince you to change, if only for his sake.”
“You speak as if you know his importance.”
“…I know some of it.”
Though it was subtle, Galacta could tell that QB was beginning to get uncomfortable with the subject. He smirked behind his mask. She didn’t like it when people knew more than she thought they did, did she?
“About his powers over time and space. And I do recall your fondness for the child. I had thought that was a mere act, but then I recalled how bothered you seem when you began asking…” he paused, his pride as a Star Warrior making his corruption difficult to mention. Still, he plowed through, not wanting to lose what little ground he’s gained on the annoying blond. “Asking myself questions as if to check how much you had said. Either they were false leads under a false drunken act, or you lack self-restraint when it comes to doting on that child.”
“And your point?” the blond says, keeping her cool. Though she’s bothered by his knowledge, his black or white view of things not keeping him so stupidly steadfast to the belief that everything is immensely fake or for a point of keeping the child under her control, she continues to appear to be nonchalant. “This is all old news, you see, and I’m very well aware of the potential persuasive points that you could be using to get me to care about a side or not. The fact of the matter is this: I won’t agree to a side in a war that I’m not involved in, and will offer my services wherever the most enticing deal leads.”
“You will continue to keep yourself in bonds, a willing indentured servant to that thing?”
“If that is how you’ll word it.”
“That is your answer then?”
“That is my answer.”
Galacta drew his weapon. “Then I have no other choice.”
“Oh, I’m sure you do, but your inane sense of honor makes you think you don’t. I’m sure you’ll love arguing with the child over whether or not it was right or wrong to do this.”
“…He’ll understand in time, QB.”
The blond smirked as Galacta prepared to fight her. “I’m sure he would.”
((...are all insane.
There's Galactaalignment's Galacta, who is so sad and woobie that I just want to cuddle him forever and wail "POOR BAAAAAAAABY." He seems to be a pretty good embodiment of PTSD. Other than that he seems to be okay with social interactions though.
Chibi-Galacta, whose Galacta is an adorable little girl, who before that kinda went and got insane on power, right? So, uh, by default she is/was at least somewhat insane, even if her cute-bitty form isn't so much now.
Askgarakuticunaito's Galacta, who is super silly and also adorable. He seems relatively sane in the 'KILL EVERYONE' aspect, though not so much socially....He's probably the most sane. Which says something.
Askgijinkametaknight's Galacta also seems kinda totally batshit insane when it comes to socializing but not so much dangerously insane. I don't even know what to say about him.
And then there's my Galacta, who socially-wise seems the most sane but is apathetic to near psychopathic levels that she couldn't be bothered to glance twice at someone bleeding to death on the street. So, quietly insane. (This hasn't come up much on my blog though, and she's pretty good at lying about it anyway.)
Of course I know there are more Galactas on tumblr, but I don't really know them. But considering the ones I do know on tumblr and the ones on fanfiction.net there seems to be A LOT of insane Galacta Knights.))
galactaalignments replied to your post: Why is it a bad thing to have a tail when you’re a demon beast?
“…it’s rather that the Nightmare I know best enjoys modifying those he corrupts, so a new tail, or new wings, or them being somehow /twisted/ are a sign of corruption.” Why is he volunteering information now? Who knows.
"Oh... well then that just means all the Nightmares I know are weird. He's weird no matter what dimension he's from."
galactaalignments replied to your post: galactaalignments replied to...
“…hm. Then you won’t mind if I kill him as well?” He summons a little flame to play over his fingers as a distraction - he still thinks of CS as a demon beast, but what happened last time has made him - confused. This question should fix that.
"Do whatever you want to him... but... then I'll be unemployed... but... I don't know anymore."
galactaalignments replied to your post: galactaalignments replied to your post: ah. no...
“I can’t help being poked by my mun whenever I am mentioned.” He’s still glaring. “…I hear you have a new Nightmare in charge…?”
"Yes... but he needs to clean himself up and not touch my hair again. He got cake all over my head and he made a mess of himself all over the place... I really don't have any patience for this anymore..."
