i was watching this naturalworldfacts documentary (check it out im sooooo fr he is like 23 and quite honestly the calibre of sir david attenborough) last night and surprise surprise meaningfully engaging in my special interest for the first time in a year and half made me incredibly happy and content did anyone else know about this
BUT
SPECIFICALLY!!!!!
THERE WAS FOOTAGE OF MY DARLING THE MAGNAPINNA
AND IT WAS YELLOW
(my favourite colour)
LOOK.
JOY ! JOY ! JOY !
[image id: two stills of magnapinna, the bigfin squid, in dark black water. in the first image the speciman is upright, tilting slightly towards the camera, and quite close. the second image is taken from much further away so that the entire specimen (4-8metres if not longer) takes up only a third of the screenshot. in both images, the fin, mantle, and top of its arms are a golden yellow colour. end id]
grace the angst potential of bram possession. Like from Aya's perspective imagine how this whole day must have felt. Asagiri better be paying for her therapy bills becuase she will need it.
you're SO right !! what if i wrote a ficlet about it--
The world burns a bright, blinding white as it splits apart. Sound itself seems to vanish and all that’s left is a ringing echoing in Aya’s ears. She’s frozen in place, unable to move, hardly able to understand what just happened.
Bram is—
?
Darkness blocks her vision as something warm and sturdy envelopes her, wrapping its arms around her body, holding onto her. It can’t be Bram because Bram is dead gone taken away possessed? Bram pushed her away, eyes wide with concern, so he wouldn’t be protecting her from the light now. It must be the Agency leader—the one who defeated Fukuchi.
Aya squeezes her eyes shut. Face buried into cloth still damp with blood. A scream bubbles up in her throat, but her mouth stays firmly shut. The silence breaks for the rushing roar of wind sweeping past them, but Fukuzawa’s hold does not falter. She digs her fingers into the fabric of his yukata.
She doesn’t know if she wants him to let go or hold tighter. She wants to run back to Bram, she wants to ask him what happened, wants to beg him to come back but she can’t. Because Bram’s face has been replaced with someone else who is not him and who wants to destroy the world and didn’t they just defeat the bad guy?! Shouldn’t this all be over?! WEREN’T THEY ALL SAFE?!!!
Nothing can be heard over the wind.
If Aya screams, she has no idea.
Somewhere across the city, her dad is at home, certainly angry at her for being late. And he won’t get it because he never does but Aya has lost people too, and she knows what grief is. She knows it doesn’t have to turn to anger, but even when it does—
It’s still just an aching hole in your heart.
Aya doesn’t want Bram to just be another void beside her mom and sister. She wants him back, she wants him BACK! But—
She doesn’t even know if that’s possible.
She doesn’t know what happened to him.
She doesn’t know if she’ll make it out of the next few minutes alive, or if this blinding light will kill them all. She doesn’t know she doesn’t know she doesn’t know she doesn’t—
She hopes
If this is the end, she hopes she’ll get to see her mom and her sister and Bram again. In whatever life comes next.
