having fun with giving titan luz painful facial jewlery... its fun to reflect her discordant mental state w restrictive and uncomfortable ceremonial attire. i was talking with my friend about how you can tell luz's mental state by the state of her hair... luz as the titan is like vines growing on an abandoned building. shes at her lowest but shes still graceful and important, her accessories restrictive yet beautiful, like pain clotted into hard, turned into something substantial and angry
I loved th angst of the gang finding out about Varian past crimes and all. But I can't help but laugh at the concept of Hugo sweating bullets knowing dang well he's going to betray Varian in the end and thinking "Donella wants me to betray HIM OF ALL PEOPLE?????"
It was in the moment that Hugo realizes he f-ed up
since varigo's new pair name is new memories, may i present petition to call:
Nuru & Yong's dynamic as popstar—because fireworks pop in the sky and they look like bursting stars
Yong & Hugo's dynamic as pipe bomb—pipe because it's a common tool in mechanical engineering structures and bomb cuz pyrotechnic explosives
Hugo & Nuru's dynamic as team diva—because they both are let's be real, need i say more?
Nuru & Varian's dynamic as crescent star—because we can all agree that Varian very much screams moon-coded given what we know surrounding his character in the show and Nuru as very much star-coded cuz she's iconic, a dreamer, an astronomer and all yes?
Varian & Yong's dynamic as team dynamite—because in order to create one, it includes a mixture of certain chemicals and powder
Doomed yuri💔
Vat7k au where everything is pretty much the same except for the fact that Yong can break the fourth wall and uses this ability to fuck with both us and the rest of the team. The kid has near death experiences on a daily basis thanks to his fireworks and he's still completely fine. He thought he had this sick plot armor cuz he was the prostagonist...at least until he met Varian and realized his ability to see God and laugh at his face didn't come with the role of main character
Oh the fear of losing something you already lost
green yuri and varigo mentioned!! everybody cheer
Adding on to my recent posting, I want to say this: If you do not accept moments in which belos is genuine, you fundamentally miss what makes him terrifying.
Belos loved his brother very dearly. The only times we have ever seen him genuinely happy were when caleb was still in his life, he keeps his old coat in pristine condition, uses his art to decorate and symbolize his glorious empire, some could say he idolizes the human realm so much because that's when caleb was still around, still loving him. Belos's love for Caleb is in everything he does.
Which is terrifying when you think about Belos's crimes, and one by one, they all lead back to love. Trying to kill everyone on the boiling Isles-it's all because Caleb married a wild witch and left Belos all alone. Hunter's existence and the genuine love he has towards him? It's love more like a worshiper at an idol's feet- belos worships hunter more than hunter does him, tries to lock him in his mind forever so he never leaves him after Hunter finds out the truth, refuses to kill hunter only because he needs Caleb to come home with him no matter what. He recreates his brother over and over and it hurts him every time but he kills him because they need to love him the most.
In kings tide, he offers Luz mercy. Belos empathizes with her, away from home, a symbol of who he still thinks he is, painfully nostalgic for the past. But why does he love the human realm so much? Why does he miss the past?
Because that's when Caleb was his.
The idea that Belos is a "narcissist who can't love anyone" is, first of all, kind of abelist to real people with NPD, secondly, patently untrue, everything he does is because of love, and thirdly, missing the point of why Belos is disturbing. Because he thinks doing these things in the name of love is just. It exhonerates him in his mind, that him loving his brother to death means all of this means something, when really Belos is at a point where his love for Caleb is more of a religion than the one he's performing.
Belos is supposed to be loving and warm. That's how he lures in his prey, convinces Hunter to devote his life to him, how he wins over an island of people he wants to kill. He loves, and it's real as rain, but his love is like cancer. It kills everything in you but itself.
Okay, but what if Nuru learned to read body language and micro expressions to become a better queen for her kingdom and make it easier for her to deal with the politician's of the others? It would make sense why she never trusted Hugo to begin with since she can see he's lying and it wouldn't take her too long to understand his real motive once she gets the whole story from Varian or Yong. She could read Hugo like an open book and I just know Hugo would get so damn frustrated to meet someone he can't trick, not to talk about how he would react when Nuru will learn about his little crush for Varian. She would be his nightmare until the betrayal, when Varian will think that everything was just a cruel joke on him and Nuru will be the only one to know that Hugo is telling the truth when he says he didn't want things to end that way
disintegration
(for the human realm au drawing; Hunter is in a wheelchair because of a TBI (traumatic brain injury) that also is the source of his scars. He has seizures and mental health issues as well, along with not recalling the source of the injury. Nevertheless he's enough in recovery to be head hall monitor and altar boy at the esteemed Catholic private school Gravesfield academy, where his uncle is the principal and the head priest, as well as Hunter's sole caretaker while his mother is in prision and his dad is deployed in the army.)
Shes such a freak
