phoenix “genuinely unable to reconcile the girl on the stand with the girl he dated for eight months, a cognitive dissonance so profound it’s ultimately explained by them being literally two different people, but which he first sits with for five years and does not talk about at any point to anyone” wright
phoenix “don’t mention that name to me. i don’t want to talk about it. i don’t want to think about it. i am just going to keep myself in this state of perpetual crisis mode focus on other people’s problems until eventually i die and get to hang out with mia on the astral plane and never have to deal with any of these emotions ever again” wright
phoenix “overnight loses his career and reputation and sense of identity while gaining an adopted, probably pretty traumatized eight-year-old daughter, and rather than leaning on his friends for help, or getting therapy, or taking any time to process any of this, he *checks notes* spends seven years dedicating all his free time and energy to investigating the weird fucking circumstances around it and maintains a friendship with the guy he suspects was behind it all” wright
phoenix "runs across a burning bridge and falls through it, half a day after the game establishes that he is terrified of heights, because his friend is on the other side of that bridge" wright
phoenix “i sure felt surprised. maybe i had my poker face on” wright
phoenix “looking back on it that was actually a pretty dark period in my life” wright
phoenix “don’t ask me how i got started. i don’t remember” wright
phoenix “only you stood still, your eyes calmly watching” wright
phoenix “sometimes, life just sucks” wright

HC that Link has a black eye at Zora’s Domain. The day before, Sidon hit Link in the face with a tail wag, but Link doesn’t have the heart to tell Sidon that he caused the bruise. So Link is like “an octorock hit me” which leads to Link and Sidon venturing around the domain trying to find an octorock that doesn’t exist.
Sidon is like “I will kill that octorock for bruising your face!” “It deserves the worst punishment!” And Link is like “yeah definitely can’t tell him it’s from his tail wagging when he hugged me yesterday.”

Mermaids of the Weeki Wachee Springs, 1950s.
Is it true that you eat and drink under water?
Yes, that’s one of our age-old tricks here. It’s just practice. Basically we’re in the water so often that we really do become at home there and as far as eating under there it’s just a matter of timing it in between breathing and making sure that you chew and swallow before taking your next breath.
But surely if you open your mouth, the water goes in…
Water does go in, but the spring water here is so clean and clear it’s like swimming in bottled water and if it gets in your mouth, it’s not bad and you just learn to kind of push it out. Every time we take a breath off the air hose we’re getting water in our mouths too, but your body learns how to adjust and push it out so it doesn’t go down your throat. (X)

– WIP CHOICE AWARDS: THE SEQUEL.
yes i voted in my own poll what about it not enough other people were doing it <3 retagging everyone who was tagged in part one: @adelaidedrubman, @reaperkiller, @aartyom, @swordcoasts, @faarkas, @morvaris, @shellibisshe, @strafethesesinners, @katsigian, @dickytwister, @devilbrakers, @aragorngf, @baldursgate2
CONTEXT: while the start of two sides of the same coin is in early 2077, this fic takes place in early 2078 instead, a few months into cassidy and sebastian's somewhat hesitant but inevitable collaboration after trying to kill each other for a full year :)
‘Cassidy?’
Still strange, to hear his name out of the mouth of the man he had once tried so hard to kill.
Cassidy turned to look back at Sebastian, nervously fiddling with one of his rings and barely able to look the other man in the eyes. A regular occurrence, still; though whether it was because of his guilt and shame, or because of his general inability to maintain eye contact with people, or because of how distracting Sebastian’s bright blue eyes were or because of something else, he wasn’t quite sure.
‘You can wait outside if you’d like,’ Sebastian said, his voice surprisingly soft- not surprisingly to Cassidy, of course, but definitely so to any stranger, any outsider watching them talk and not expecting the gentleness to the semi-mechanical voice of the nearly two-meter-tall gang leader.
Cassidy himself was still getting used to it a little. He had seen Sebastian interact with his loved ones enough times to have already known about how caring and kind he actually was; when he was still hunting the man down he had shown him mercy time after time, something that could not be said for all the assassins that had come before.
But to experience it firsthand- to be on the receiving end of such understanding, of such consideration-
No one had ever treated him that way before.
‘I’ll come with you,’ he finally answered, giving Sebastian a quick nod as he averted his gaze to the ground below his feet. ‘I’d rather not be alone.’
‘Understandable.’ Sebastian paused and glared at a passerby who shouldered their way past him and barely looked up from their phone as they did. ‘Manners are off the fuckin’ menu today it seems.’
