Lyaeus (Λυαῖος, "deliverer", literally "loosener"): one who releases from care and anxiety.

or, that one post by @swag-a-doodle made me think about alternate endings

everyone leave your favorite war criminal in the tags

if you ever feel good about yourself just remember that rf kuang wrote and published the poppy war, the dragon republic, the burning god, babel: an arcane history and yellowface all before turning 28

Bernard should be written like a silent hill protagonist, bu that I mean he should weaponize a steel pipe in any situation

Bernard getting mugged in an ally and a batfam member happens to spot it, they’re about to jump in when bernard just snaps a drain pipe from the wall and beats the mugger with it

Bernard gets kidnapped by some rogue and tim comes to save him, only for him to find bernard threatening them with a steel pipe

Tim: how’d you even get a steel pipe?

Bernard: dunno what to tell you, it was just there, alluringly

Tim: we’re in a mountain base? Theres no visible pipe system?!

In conclusion, the steel pipe calls to bernard like a green goblin mask

The Designers Republic (TDR) / WipeOut / Wallpaper / 1999

[trashwhattrash]

Rin and Nezha, the egoist and the altruist, the peasant and the prince, the sun and the moon, the fire and the flood, the Phoenix and the Dragon.

Both are bound by their blood to be opposites. They are victims of their upbringings and they both want what the other has but cannot fathom living the other’s life, not truly.

They are opposing forces, they are an unstoppable force and an unmovable wall, they are two cardinal directions on opposite ends of a compass, they are north and south poles on the same magnet and at the end of the day they do love each other so much.

But a love like that is destined to fail because they cannot change the rules of this plane of existence so they can either coexist without interacting at all to keep the balance or risk destroying one another in the chaos of their union.

What a cruel and beautiful tragedy they are.

"A drag path, etched in the surface as evidence"

Except its all the names etched on the entrance of the chuluu korikh, jiang's being the last bc after he immured himself no one alive heald enough knowledge to do it except when rin was trapped there for an hour not even a name to mark her

Except its chaghan, the last of the cike, trying to reunite the people who were nothing but cruel to him knowing hesperians are coming sooner or later

Except its lianhua carrying the secret of shamanism but not the true gravity of it, having never had the chance to be taught properly but forced into the mould of a weapon alongside pipaji and dulin

Except its altan being the last to experience speer's warmth and rin the last to carry the weight of its people

Except its kesegi, the frayed string from tins past finally snapping "You're not my sister"

Except its nezha, standing vigil for eternity as the last relic of the empire, the last person to remember kitay and rin as themselves, not the phoenix general and her strategist

at least she improved...?
