reblog this if you're fine with your mutuals sending you asks unprompted
˗ˏˋ ♰ ˎˊ˗ A quick glance was spared to the other as they settled in, to make sure there was no difficulties, before returning to the paper in front of her.
A vibrant sprawl of colors to choose from, art supplies her family had bought for her silly hobby, she knew nothing she could ever make would offset the emotional attachment to tje supplies themselves but drawing with others was nice enough of an excuse.
˗ˏˋ ♰ ˎˊ˗ ❝Mana is drawing an Eggbear! They're super cool!❞ she was obsessed with the egg laying monster, they were so funny.
Clara blinked, looking over the other's work. An... Eggbear...? It must be something specific to this world, then! Cool!
"They are...? I don't think I've ever seen one before, uhm, what do they look like...?"
Maybe they were cute and that was why Mana was interested in them? Clara could understand that, some of the gears she'd found were very cute. Especially when they sparkled...
✧˖°.⚔️.°˖✧ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐇𝐄𝐂𝐘 ··· a collection of prophecies, forgotten auguries, ill-favored omens, and those whose lives have long since ceased to belong to themselves. genre: medieval fantasy, prophecy, court intrigue, political drama, angst.
The gods spoke your name long before your mother ever did.
It was never a question of whether the prophecy would awaken, only when.
There are older things than kings, and older promises than crowns.
I fear the prophecy less than I fear those who seek to fulfill it.
The realm has spent generations preparing for your coming. I wonder if it prepared you at all.
You have mistaken a prophecy for a promise.
Every man who has interpreted these words has reached a different conclusion.
The stars have not been thus aligned since the prophecy was first spoken.
There is another verse, though none alive dare recite it.
The oracle begged that your name never be written.
The prophecy speaks of two heirs, though history remembers but one.
Some truths were buried not because they were false, but because they were true.
You bear the face the prophecy described.
The realm has long awaited a savior. It never considered what such salvation might require.
The scroll has outlived kingdoms.
The prophecy did not foretell peace.
I have devoted my life to preventing what now stands before me.
There are some doors that ought never be opened, and some prophecies that ought never be read.
Fate has a curious habit of finding those who flee it.
Every attempt to thwart the prophecy has only strengthened it.
The gods delight in speaking plainly only after it is too late.
The prophecy named no victor.
You ask whether I believe the prophecy. I ask whether it believes in you.
There are many who would sooner see you dead than see the prophecy tested.
It is no blessing to know the shape of one's own ruin.
The child foretold has become the very thing the realm feared.
We have spent centuries preparing for the wrong heir.
Not every chosen soul is chosen for glory.
You were never meant to inherit the kingdom. You were meant to change it.
The prophecy concerns blood far more than birthright.
There are those who worship the prophecy and those who fear it. I have yet to meet one who understands it.
Your ancestors spent their lives hiding these words from the world.
Every generation has believed itself the last.
I would sooner question the gods themselves than trust the certainty of prophets.
Some prophecies awaken only when spoken aloud.
The oldest lie ever told was that destiny cannot be resisted.
There is a reason the seers refused to finish the tale.
You have inherited a burden no crown could equal.
Even the ravens refused to fly the night you were born.
The heavens marked your coming with uncommon violence.
There are prophecies written in ink, and others written in blood.
The prophecy was never meant for mortal eyes.
I begin to fear that we have misunderstood every word.
The final line has been missing for generations.
A kingdom may survive a poor ruler. Few survive a fulfilled prophecy.
The gods have remained silent ever since your birth.
I do not doubt the prophecy. I doubt our understanding of it.
The greatest danger lies not in destiny itself, but in those determined to hasten its arrival.
Should the prophecy prove true, none of us shall leave this age unchanged.

˗ˏˋ ♰ ˎˊ˗ @wishingstrings ; ❝ Do you mind if I join you? ❞
˗ˏˋ ♰ ˎˊ˗ ❝Not at all, sit sit!❞ the small pinkette pats the spot next to her, a smile happily decorating her face. Drawing or hanging out friends were always appreciated.❝If ya wanna draw take whatever ya need.❞
Relief quickly found itself within Clara as she nodded, slow and careful. Alright...! This was how Hook befriended her so... it must work with others too, right? Hopefully...
She shuffled over, sitting beside her. There was still enough space for both to move freely. Maybe some more than necessary but that wasn't where Clara's focus was right now. The drawing supplies before her were more than she was used to in the Underworld.
❝ Ah, uhm—right, okay...! ❞
Where to start...? Maybe the flowers I saw in the Overworld...? I don't remember what they mean though. A character might be better... or...
Pinkish red eyes searched for a pretty limiting palette. A blue and a few greys. Maybe she could add some reds and oranges later—and brown too! Phew, almost forgot...
❝ What are you drawing...? ❞
[For Clara] ❝Mana thinks your outfit is really cute! Red is Mana's favorite color.❞ since they both seemingly like red they should be friends because that is how it works.

The words came a little sudden to Clara's ears, not so sudden as to scare her away though! So, maybe that was a win in and of itself...? She should ask Mr Svarog and Hook later... Anyways, she looked over to find someone... complimenting her outfit...?
A much brighter smile on her face, she turned to Mana. ❝ Thank you! Mr Svarog chose these out for me, the coat's very warm. I really like red too... ❞
It was here she was growing less and less confident, but, still... she could keep her chin up. More or less.
❝ I can show you where he got it...? Or, uhm, where he told me he got it from... is that okay...? ❞

despite everything that their family claimed, alluka was kind. soft in the kind of way that would guarantee her demise if the zoldyck family were allowed to continue misusing her abilities for their own gains ⸻ something killua has pledged will no longer happen. over his dead body, & they both know that the family won't take their anger with alluka out on their supposed heir.
sure, her uncanny ability had been ... difficult to swallow at first, but it had never been scary ⸻ at least not to killua. but where her ability was upfront, her kindness was inherent: displayed in the way she spoke, the way she played, the way she wiped away his tears as if it were her job to care for him & not the other way around.
it sickens killua, to know he had left her there ⸻ consciously or not ⸻ alone for so long.
❝ i'm eating, i'm eating, don't worry! ❞ & he'll do it if it makes her happy; unwraps the chocolate & nibbles at the corner. ❝ this is my favorite. i'd say i'm surprised you remembered, but what else should i expect from my beloved little sister? ❞
it's sweet ⸻ the chocolate & the moment, & killua feels the previous overwhelm begin to drain from his body, as agitated as he'd been. they say chocolate is medicine for the soul, don't they? well, alluka must be medicine for the heart.
❝ i really am okay, so please don't worry about me. i've been having fun travelling with you, i promise. i think i just ⸻ i've been going & going & going on high alert for so long, that i'm not sure how to handle not being so hyper-vigilant & stressed all the time. ❞
To prove a point or just because she wanted to do this together with her Big Brother, Alluka waited until he began unwrapping his chocolates to unwrap her sweets as well. Popping one in her mouth, she offered her dear brother a very muffled reply.
❝ Mmm? Mwem… ❞
It didn’t take too long for her to realise how little sense she was making. Luckily. Maybe a few more bites and then… yay! With her voice back to normal and not chewy, she nodded, sagely.
❝ So, you’re sure we shouldn’t stick to one place? Or head back? In that case… hm… ❞
It was time to put on her thinking cap–no, headband! That was much cuter, hehe. Ah, I’m not thinking about the right thing... Focus, focus! What could help Big Brother feel less… overwhelmed?
That was what he was feeling, right? She didn't know all the words he was saying but! Rest looked to be the cure (with chocolates) and whenever Alluka was super tired or overwhelmed, she’d need to rest up. The same was the case with Nanika. Though, being so tired you cry but not so tired as to refuse help (even if it was only in the beginning) didn’t sound right. Overwhelmed usually brought that out of him, right?
❝ Oh! I know!! Let’s have rest days! Or ❛ inside days ❜ ! Days when we spend aaaaaall our time playing games inside. That would help, right? ❞
She looked up at her Big Brother for approval. If this doesn’t work out, Nanika might have an idea!

You’d have to be living under a rock not to hear of the ever famed ‘Detective Prince’. You would also have to be living under an even more secluded rock not to know what most of the public thought of him. In fact, Akira could probably figure out what Akechi normally got as an answer. He hummed, taking a sip out of her glass.
The music was, as always, great here. More than enough to lose yourself in if you let your guard down. Which, obviously, meant that they couldn’t do as much with the other around.
❝ Curious, huh? ❞
It wasn’t as if Akira didn’t know what he thought of Akechi. Far from it, really. It was just… their mind was closer to chaos. Still, with Akechi, these things counted as a challenge. One they wouldn’t lose. Not against him.
❝ A bit of a puzzle but fun to hang out with and someone who’s quite similar to me in a lot of ways. But, most of all, you’re my rival. ❞
Some thoughts go unsaid, of course, can’t have all his cards out. But enough’s said for Akira to focus on Akechi’s reaction. See what he makes of the words. Before things could drift away, though, she spoke up again.
❝ And what do you think of me? You’re not going to let this be one sided, are you? ❞

｡˚ 𐚁 𝐎𝐅𝐅 𝐂𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐔𝐒 ··· a collection of campus devotion, reckless athletes, and the girls who didn't mean to fall for any of it. genre: romance, slow burn, hurt and comfort, college drama.
The study session was your idea. You haven't opened your book once.
I know what people say about me. I'm asking what you think.
You're the only person on this campus who treats me like I'm more than my jersey number.
We said no feelings. I think I'm really bad at rules.
You left your hoodie at my place three weeks ago. I've been sleeping in it. Don't make it weird.
Practice ran late. I know. I'm sorry. Please don't be asleep yet.
The whole team thinks we're together. When were you going to tell me you didn't correct them?
I don't bring people to my games. I got you a ticket. Show up.
You tutored me all semester. The least I can do is take you to dinner. A real one.
I've kissed a lot of girls at this school. I keep thinking about the one I haven't.
Tell me again why this is such a bad idea.
That thing you said after the game. Did you mean it or were you just caught up in the moment?
I asked around about you before I talked to you. I'm not embarrassed about that.
I've never had someone wait up for me before. I didn't know what to do with it so I panicked.
Everyone on the team knows I'm gone for you. I'm the last one to say it out loud.
Stop apologizing for taking up space in my life. I made room on purpose.
I told coach I was injured. I'm not injured. I just needed to see you.
You came to the away game. You hate away games.
I'm not good at this. I'm good at hockey and not much else. But I want to try. For you.
The girl I was pretending to date is the only one I actually want. Life is funny like that.
Draft day is coming and I'm more scared of losing you than losing my shot.
I've been in love with you since the library. Third floor. Two years ago. You had headphones in.
Don't let me sign that contract without knowing if you'd come with me.
You're the smartest person in any room you walk into. I don't know why you're in mine.
The bet was stupid and I knew it was stupid and I did it anyway because it meant spending time with you.
You deserve someone who shows up. I'm working on being that person. Just don't give up on me yet.
My teammates are idiots but they're not wrong about this one.
I've never been nervous before a game. I'm nervous right now and the game isn't for six hours.
You said you didn't want anything serious. I've been trying to be okay with that. I'm not okay with it.
I graduate in May. So do you. I don't want the thing between us to fizzle out.
I know you're not mine. I also know I'd do anything to change that.
The whole campus is at that party. I'd rather be here. With you. On your couch. Watching whatever you want.
You looked at me different after the game last week. Why?
Tell me what you want. Not what you think I can handle. What you actually want.
I've been the fun one, the easy one, the no-strings one. I don't want to be that with you.
You're the only reason I made it through finals week. I'm not sure you know that.
I don't do mornings. I did this morning. I'd do every morning. That terrifies me.
The long distance thing scares me. You scare me. I'm choosing scared.
I'm not asking you to wait. I'm asking you to want to.
It stopped being fake somewhere around week two. I just didn't know how to tell you.
You're it for me. I know that's a lot. I know we're twenty-two. I know. I don't care.
long rest on an adventure
➺ continued from here !
Travelling with Killua was a treat Alluka wasn’t sure she’d ever have. Seeing the world… being with someone who loved her and she loved in turn… having fun… it seemed like just an impossible daydream in her room. But it was real! No matter how many times she pinched her cheeks, it was as real as her big brother’s smile.
She had thought it had been a pretty nice time so far—fun and warm and fuzzy like her dolls—but her brother looked like he had just a bit too much on his mind. Something weighed on him, but he said she wasn’t the problem. So… what could it be, really? Maybe he missed his friends? Either way, it was going to burst eventually and—
As she held out the chocolate box in front of him, she tried to wipe away some of his tears with her sleeves too. Maybe hers were soft enough that the tears would stop? Or… uhm…
—today looked like that day. Of course, Alluka wanted to help him out. Just as he’d always done! But, well… she didn’t have the experience he did with comforting others.
❝ Bad days mean more rest! We can wait until tomorrow or the day after or whenever you’re feeling better. No pushing yourself! ❞
On this, she wouldn’t move an inch! Not even a single step!
❝ So, eat up, please? I’ll join you too so you’re not alone! See, I even got myself some sweets too. ❞

Grief was not new to Machi. She did not have such a luxury as to call this the first time she felt her emotions cloud her mind, cloud her thoughts. Not the first time she stood still, paralysed by all that she felt. But this—it wasn’t… the Troupe was supposed to be safe. They had each other, they were strong, they were together. And yet.
She should’ve killed him the second he woke up. Should have pinned her needle into his neck. Should have… but she didn’t. She didn’t and now they were gone. Just another part of the past. Shards of memories she may one day forget.
She should have killed him.
Wrung him up. Pierced him with her needle. Kil—
Machi blinked, looking up at the other. Her thoughts cut short by Shizuku’s words. From the sounds of things, that was exactly what she wanted. From the sounds of things, she couldn’t understand why. From the sounds of things, Machi was awash in regret again.
She opened her mouth to speak. The words coming out as a choked sob turned cough. She rubbed at her eyes—when had she last slept? Peacefully? It didn’t matter, their ends weren’t peaceful—and shook her head. She tried again.
❝ I can’t. They’re—I—He could be dead… if I’d just… if I had… if—I’m sorry, but I can’t. ❞
The words still come out as choked as the last attempt. Almost funny how quickly the tears fall out. Almost funny how she has to rub her eyes over and over and over again. Just like last night. They don’t stop. Amidst it all, a sigh escaped her.
❝ I should’ve killed him, Shizuku. ❞
