Windwandered

A wanderer isn't always lost. RULES

[windwandered]

“It's okay to cry in front of me, you know. You do not have to carry this alone.”

“I don’t cry.” Yasuo states simply, shrugging his shoulders. He’s been woken up by a nightmare, the same nightmare he’d been having for years now. His brother... His master... They both commonly show up in his dreams from time to time, either to speak with him, to chastise him, or something more sinister that evolves from the deep guilt and sorrow he feels from those events.

So, Yasuo awakens from his sleep quite frequently, restless, bothered by his dreams. And though he’s upset, he won’t cry. That part of him had been sealed long ago. There’s no more tears left to fall, and so he’s a husk of a man, unable to physically react to such negativity. But he will opt to lean on the woman beside him, shakiness immediately calming upon contact.

“But I appreciate the support. It’s nice to not have lonely, sleepless nights anymore. Maybe new thoughts will overtake the nightmares in due time, hmm? Pleasant ones.”

“you shouldn’ be here.” Fate’s feet swing down, dangling off the edge of a pub roof. He knew everyone and everything in Bilgewater but this man — he’d never seen before. He didn’t look native to this land. Not at all. With a hat tipped over his face, Tobias spoke again. “Ya lookin fer somethin?”

“Hmm?” Yasuo doesn’t turn to face the voice, instead opting to stay rooted in place in a ready position. He’d been heckled multiple times since stepping foot in Bilgewater, well aware that his tattered clothes and pauldron indicated he was Ionian. There’s not much reason for Yasuo to give these people attention, as he’s here to explore, find himself, see what it has to offer, and eventually return to Ionia if he so chooses. So he doesn’t plan on making enemies, hoping that each heckler eventually gets tired of him and he can be on his way.

“No. Just wandering. You don’t know me, and I dunno you. Not here to be a plaything if you’re thinkin’ about it. Suggest we just steer clear, stranger.” It wasn’t a friendly greeting by any means, but he said what had to be said. The sooner this conversation could be over the better. How could he trust anybody here? He’d heard the stories of liars, cheats and snakes. Who’s to say this man isn’t one too?

[windwandered]

"Decide who you are... or die shackled by the chains of order. Your fate is not my own."

Words echoed in his mind, headache causing great agony on the swordsman. He falls to his knees, one hand clutching his head. The voice was enervating, filled with rage and a terrifying intensity, yet also hinted at familiarity. Yasuo knew that voice. Was it... His own? No, it couldn’t possibly be. The strange malice, darkness in the voice wasn’t him. He held no such feelings within him! 

He attempts to look upwards, the road in front of him previously thought to have been unoccupied. Now, there stands a figure in black and red, much like Yasuo’s own form. Yasuo gasps once, falling backwards in surprise. What... Was this hallucination?

“I know who I am...” Yasuo argues, though his words lack conviction. How could he justify arguing with a demonic looking being that seemed to be a shadow clone of himself? “I am Yasuo. Wanderer. Swordsman. Brother!” A better attempt at remaining brave in the face of such a strange being.

Suddenly, there’s another pang of pain in his head. Yasuo shuts his eyes, tucking his head downwards. And as soon as it was over, he looks up again, ready to address the figure, or cut it down with his own sword, but it had vanished.

He looks around, seeing no traces of anyone else’s presence. No leaves had been disrupted, no footprints left behind. What had that figure truly been? And what had caused it?

“Fuck.” Yasuo stands on his feet, somewhat unsteady. “I need to stop drinking before bed.”

[windwandered]

“Funny. I’ve always been called stinky, or rat-like, a hobo. Never salty.”

[windwandered]

On the one hand, Riot's made me a little more easy about interacting with the inevitable Yone blogs. There's a bit of flavor for young yone and yasuo interactions, and current timeline where it seems like there's no guilt or hostility between them. So I guess I'm okay with that. The lore isn't too much of an issue if we're going by the cinematic. It certainly puts Yasuo and Ahri in a good spot to continue.

But I'll say it again. This champ design doesn't ever lead me to believe he's related to Yasuo by looks, they money-grabbed with sexy alive release skin to fix the whole dead/spirit/demon slayer whatever concept he has going on and...

The kit... Really has me wondering if they said Let's just recycle scrapped concepts from designing Yasuo and put it on his brother. Literally neither ability makes use of the double swords properly. The only somewhat creative ability is the shadow clone zed mark thing but we have Zed... For that... Also how do people think this is gonna be good? A three-five second delayed LeBlanc W sure is gonna be punishable in most games...

And then just yknow. Both Lillia and Yone feel like side characters and supports to other characters/lore and I feel bad like. This... Is what riot wants to do for their 150th champion (Yone)? Feels like Jayce all over again.

Tl;dr: Fine with this in an RP sense. Gives us lots to work with. Terrible game design choices for Summoner's Rift games especially. And champ design/hype kinda slacking though.

So..........................................

Save your Spirit Petals for this guy.

[windwandered]

I mean, I always did imagine if Yasuo didn’t want to stay in Ionia, the best place for him would be Bilgewater. There’s a lot for him there that I think he’d enjoy himself, and hey the drinks aren’t bad there to boot. So I like that he’s going there next rather than like Demacia, Noxus or Shurima or something.

But then this makes me wonder a couple things.

Why is Ahri going to Bilgewater? I’m not caught up on Ahri lore but is there already a known connection with Bilgewater or not?

And since we know Yasuo’s getting another skin this year that’ll be prestiged (apparently not Spirit Blossom), I’m kinda wondering if it’ll be lore based. Like some sort of Bilgewater Ahri/Yasuo to commemorate this? There’s gotta be a reason for saying it and including those two.

“I’m not going to kill you with my pecs, nor am I going to allow you to bathe in the river with me. And no, I will not redo the scene ‘with a better camera’. Honestly now, control yourselves.”

[windwandered]

“I wasn’t aware there would be cameras around while I was in the river...”

CARING FOR STUBBORN MUSES. for when the person you’re trying to care for insists they don’t need your help.

“at least let me clean the wound!” “you’ll be even worse off if you don’t let me bandage this.” “i really think you need to see a doctor.” “i made you some soup, and i’m going to sit here until you eat it. i can wait.” “your feelings matter too! i can’t help you if i don’t even know what’s making you upset!” “..i’m here if you need anything, okay?” “stop trying to push yourself! you can’t do this on your own!” “listen, i know you don’t want to, but.. maybe you should rest for a while. you’re not going to get anywhere like this.” “i’ll make you a deal: i’ll just get you some bandages, and nothing else, and you stop making a fuss over it.” “how long has it last been since you slept?” “have you even been taking your medicine?” “i know you think you have to get through this by yourself, but you have people here to help you.” “let me take care of you, for once.” “you’re gonna hurt yourself even more if you do stupid things like that!” “i hate to break it to you, but you’re not supposed to do any strenuous physical activity for the next couple weeks, and if i have to personally make sure you don’t every waking hour of the day then i’m fully prepared to do that.” “it’s okay to cry in front of me, you know. you don’t have to carry this alone.” “stop trying to act like you’re not bleeding out in front of me!! this is serious!” “listen, asshole. i’m gonna carry you home whether you like it or not. you’re not in any condition to get there yourself.” “oh my god, why didn’t you tell me it was this bad?!”

[windwandered]

Alright! Yasuo will be back, no problems. I’m gonna go ahead and start fresh, and I’ll be writing him tonight specifically once Spirit Blossom event has dropped. 

In the meantime, I’m probably gonna drop almost all ongoing threads with him, and start anew. Relationships, developments, mains etc. are all going to be kept, just the actual threads themselves I feel bad for going a month without replying to them. It’s nice to see you all again though!

[windwandered]

This blog still exists. Scary about impending lore, but may try to muster up some muse. I may scrap some outstanding threads and start fresh with some sort of starter or inbox call though. Hope that's okay with you all~

[windwandered]

Me staring at this blog knowing what Riot’s boutta do to my boy’s lore in the next couple months and I really don’t wanna deal with that nonsense.

[windwandered]

lul thought I posted it on wrong blog but.

Yeah. I love Yasuo content as much as the next guy. I really do. And this theme REALLY fits him. It’s a gorgeous skin idea and all, spirit blossom.

But then if this is Teemo’s Prestige cycle. Then it’s not Yasuo’s who’s confirmed to get a Prestige this year.

Which means two more Yasuo skins this year alone (unless they rehash TD Yas Prestige somehow, which idk)

Like idk, I feel horrid for all the other champ mains. This man gonna have like 15 skins by 2021 at this rate. He sells but damn guys... 

[oftomorrow-deactivated20210322]

Yeah I’m staying off Tumblr for a while because I can’t be on here with the font the way it is. I’m getting super nauseous and my eyes are hurting SO. PLEASE add me on Discord. It doesn’t have to be for RPing or writing, we can simply chill and talk, but it’s what I gotta resort to because of the changes right now. 

This goes for both @oftomorrow​ and @windwandered​ blogs. We’ll put them on a sort of temporary hiatus where I can check in and all, but can’t be here for longer than a few minutes in bursts.

(That’s Frostree#3750)

[windwandered]

Everything is so spaced out like even the letters on certain things are spaced out. I’m actually getting dizzy staring at my dash. So um. Logging out til they fix it? Maybe hit me up in IMs or discord? Option to revert to old dash doesn’t exist for me anymore apparently. And I can’t be on here with how wonky everything looks.
