Xilonen mentions that she's prepared to die to forge the ancient name for the traveler - did mavuika know this cost when she asked xilonen to do this? bc think of the delicious angst that could come of this. mavuika knows she will have to die for the sake of natlan after using ronova's powers. but then, knowing the risk to xilonen's life, knowing this could also help the odds of natlan's survival, having to ask xilonen to do this as well, to risk her life as well. like part of her would want xilonen to say no, to value her own life when mavuika cannot, but also knowing that xilonen would not be the woman she loved if she said no to this. and xilonen knowing what would have went into mavuika asking her to do this and saying yes. \
or even the opposite where - mavuika doesn't know but xilonen still accepts and then she ends up passing and mavuika was prepared for her own death but not hers
idk i think i'm reading way too much into this but i need someone to write a fic lmao i just need more mavuika / xilonen fics period lol
i was pirating A Time Called You and I was like what's up with this bland colour scheme, i hate it. then i was like, oh it's to reflect the depressed state of the FL's mind. and then i started watching it on Netflix and bruh, the colour's fine, it's just an upload issue on the pirating sites
clorinde x navia already looked like such a fun ship in the trailer but their actual dynamic? the tragedy of their history, the bittersweetness, the angst and turmoil roiling beneath the surface?!!!
yae miko x ei headcanons, specifically when the puppet shogun was in place
imagine thereâs a shrine maiden who is weirdly fascinated by the relationship between the shogun and the guuji
while sheâs a kid and in training, she serves the shogun and guuji tea but she notices how cold their interactions are
on the surface, their words are polite but the room feels tense and icy and she rushes out of the room as soon as sheâs done.
she asks one of the more senior shrine maidens if the shogun and guuji are friends
âThe Guuji has been a loyal servant of the Shogun for the past 500 years, something we should all aspire to beâ
---
as she grows up, the shrine maiden continues to have a strange interest in the relationship between them.
she doesnât know why but she searches for old texts, even diaries of long gone shrine maidens
and she reads how the two used to be close, often seen together around the shrine
it seems like the Khaenri'ah cataclysm is what changed everything. after that, the shogun disappeared for longer and longer stretches of time and gone were the days that you could see the two women talking and laughing with each other
the distance between the two women seems to have grown until it became what it is today, reduced to cold, sparing words exchanged between them only at the yearly mandatory visits the shogun made to the shrine.Â
at one point, the shrine maiden serves them tea and although she leaves the room, she finds herself lingering in the hall.
the vision hunt decree has just been announced and the room had felt unbearably tense, the air indescribably heavy.
she cannot make out the words they are saying to each other but all of a sudden, there is the distinct sound of a slap and Yae Mikoâs voice.
âYou forget yourself, puppet.â
She canât help but sneak a peek. The Shogunâs hand is on the Guujiâs left arm and the Guuji seethes with a cold fury, her right hand, the culprit of the slap, clasped tightly to her chest.Â
The Shogun makes eye contact with her then and she scurries from the room, heart racing.
---
some time passes, and the vision hunt decree is terminated. so much change is going on in inazuma that she nearly feels dizzy, overwhelmed.Â
but what is most fascinating to her is the difference in the Shogun and the Guujiâs relationship.
the Shogun is a more frequent visitor of the shrine. The first time sheâd come unannounced, the shrine maiden had been the first to greet her and her heart had nearly stopped upon realising who was standing in front of her.
she gets the chance to serve tea to the Shogun and Guuji again. She leaves them to their meeting and hours later, when she returns to retrieve the tea set, she freezes.
The Shogun and Guujiâs hands are touching on the table, and although the Shogun seems a little embarrassed (which is a word she never knew she would use to describe the Shogun), Ei does not withdraw her hand.
The shrine maiden can almost feel the smugness, but moreso the happiness emanating from the Guuji at this.
She keeps her gaze to the ground and leaves the room with the tea set, and it is only when her back is to them that she allows herself to smile
---
the shrine maiden had never known why sheâd held such a deep interest in the relationship between the Shogun and Guuji. Sheâd spent years studying their relationship both in person and through texts.Â
But now she realises her true purpose.Â
She submits the culmination of her lifeâs work, her magnum opus, to the Yae Publishing House:
while iâm always a sucker for a good bodyguard romance, i wasnât really drawn to the dehya x dunyazard ship. they seemed to have a fond relationship with dehya even selling her blade to help realise dunyazardâs dream but it seemed more platonic than romantic. and thereâs a part of me that thinks dehya has a strong sense of duty/professionalism. while she may not always show it, i donât think sheâd cross the line and fall for her employer.Â
BUT- when candace showed up and candace and dehya interacted for the first time- gay- gAY- GAY, they r so gay and in love pls
âUnni, people donât colour their fingernails with balsam these days. They do manicures.â
âI prefer balsam anyway.â
âWhy? Because of the saying that love will come true if the colour lasts until first snowfall?â
