Fracture

'Twas only once he was before her, with her eyes laid upon him, that he realized that he had nothing of import to say. Nothing whatsoever.

He had been so focused on reaching her side that he'd not given the matter any thought. There had been a struggle, a mad scramble, to get through the crowd; he'd excused himself, quite hastily, at least a dozen times as he pushed or pulled his way around or through a knot of locals. They were, he thought, entirely like a herd at graze: content where they stood, not inclined toward movement, and stubborn about it to the utmost. Not that he'd had any first-hand experience with such things. No, herds were but one more subject from his scholarship.

She was, at least, not difficult to track. Once he'd caught the sound of her voice, there was no mistaking it, not even in this cacophonous rabble. Hers had strength behind it, and there was a cadence to it which was distinctly Dalmascan in ways which no transplant could ever hope to imitate. She spoke with the whole, the totality, of her breath: from the diaphragm. He'd read that such people made for talented singers. He nearly tripped at the thought of her carrying a tune. He kept his ears trained on her, put to good use his musculature – his room at Lidenbok Books featured a crossbeam which had proven sturdy enough for exercise – and pressed forward until, at last, he burst through the last tangle of gathered onlookers who were still waiting for the foreign dignitary's arrival.

Hakan's first thought was that she was lost. She moved in stutter steps, which suggested hesitation. Her eyes scanned the crowd as she rose to the tips of her toes now and again, which suggested she was looking for someone. Her hand rose here and there, as if to wave for attention, but the way she drew it back down suggested that she'd been mistaken.

She was dressed in much the same attire as when she'd visited Deiter's shop. Oh, the dress was different, as was her scarf, but they looked as plain as the last set. He found this charming. Had he been asked, he might have said that it was because she was as destitute as he was, or that she had the coin to afford better but cared not enough to bother.

He'd just taken in her attire when her eyes found his, and time seemed to freeze. This was fortuitous, because that was when his realization struck him. He was afforded precious moments in which to find his footing… both physically and mentally.

"Miss Janeth…! Are you quite alright?"

He fought to keep a wince off his face; how had that been the best he could manage? Shameful. He noticed, though, that – while she did glance to either side first – she smiled and stepped toward him.

"Mister… Hakan, wasn't it? From the book shop?"

He tried for a smile of his own, and found himself hoping that it did not look as forced as it felt. "Yes, yes, that's right."

One of her hands reached up and tucked one of those curls behind one ear. Then she adjusted the knot on her scarf to pull it tighter. "I'm fine, thank you… no need to concern yourself, I'm just…."

'Lost' would have been a mistake for him to voice; it implied a lack of competence. 'Concerned' would have been reading too much into it. He set out on a different path. "In need of another pair of eyes? Perhaps a good set of ears?"

She looked a little startled at that. He let his smile grow into a grin and he flicked one of his ears, just the once; she saw this and laughed, half from shock and half from sheer delight, or so it sounded to him. "I'm… I'm so sorry, that was rude of me… yes, please, if you wouldn't mind, just a little ways. I was accompanying my employer, you understand; she and I got separated. Betti is her name, she's a little portly old woman, bless her, but she can move like the wind when she wants to."

They walked together from there, as she gave him a more detailed description of her lady. Miriam Janeth did not, to her credit, give the task of locating the old woman wholly over to her chaperone. She continued to peer over the heads and shoulders of others and wave for attention. No one responded in the affirmative, no answering call or wave from Old Betti, and so they pressed onward up the street.

"I had hoped that we had found a new regular in you," Hakan said as they continued their search. "Mister Lidenbok tells me that our shop is like a bottle of Leá Monde: once you've had a taste, it's common to crave another."

"Are you calling me common, Mister Hakan?" she said, a wry little smile supplanting the look of frustration on her face from their ongoing search.

He laughed. "No, I am calling our books delicious. I sometimes purchase one myself, for a little nibble here and there." He was pleased to raise her spirits so. "How fared the cuisine?"

She stumbled as they squeezed through a a small gathering of Seeq. He held out a hand, and she caught it for support. The touch was electrifying; as soon as she was steady on her feet again, they each let go of the other. She was shaking her head.

"I'd forgotten all about that. No wonder as to why: nothing came out quite to our guest's liking! Put it right out of my head, can't even remember what I made, except that Betti liked the sweets."

He nodded, but before he could press further, cries from the crowd overtook them. "He's coming," and "they'll be up here soon," and "Give me a boost," and all manner of like conversation. It made it rather difficult for him to try and pick out Betti's voice, which Miriam had described for him, from the crowd. He told her as much.

"Then let us find a tall step with space for you and I," she said, "and we'll be able to see better from there. If I know my lady at all, she'll be doing the same."

They set out at once, and it was not a handful of minutes later which saw them standing together at the top of some steps which led up into a public bath. Their timing was at once fortuitous and poor: whatever good the vantage point afforded them was at once dashed by the procession coming up the way, a procession of soldiers and draft animals and wagons and a very ornate, ceremonial-looking carriage. Jolted by the sight of strange colors and armor, he asked, "Did anyone happen to say who this is or where they're from? I hadn't heard specifics."

"An emissary from Bozja," she said. She had to yell to make herself heard over the enthusiastic cheers of the crowd, or she would have had to for a fellow Hume, even though they stood shoulder to shoulder; the Viera's ears struggled not at all to pick out her words. "Some nobleman come to discuss common interests and propose some manner of treaty."

He nodded, distracted somewhat by the sheer size of the soldiers. There were Humes among them, but most of them were some manner of race he'd not yet met; they resembled Miqo'te, which he had met indeed, and he figured these must be Hrothgar. He opened his mouth to ask if she could describe Betti for him again, but he was interrupted in short order.

Said interruption came in the form of plumes of smoke which suddenly burst up and down the square. The procession was entirely engulfed by them, and he could hear cries of panic from the crowd, could hear one of the soldiers barking orders, could feel the rising surge and tide of fear as it shot through the assembled Dalmascans. Cries turned into screams as people turned to flee.

Hakan and Miriam had a better view than most; he thrust an arm in front of her and drew her back behind him, interposing himself between her and any danger. His ears picked out the shift of mail and plate armor as the soldiers encircled the carriage, and his eyes caught, however dimly through the smokescreen, the faint silhouette of a man or woman emerge onto the top of the carriage itself. His breathing hitched as he noted the outline of a blade… and the head turning towards him.

A cry from one of the soldiers, which only a Viera could have made out at this distance: "His Grace! His Grace is wounded! He's… he's not…!"

The silhouette vanished, Miriam asked, "Hakan, what–? What's happening–?!" and he replied, with all the dull tone of a man shocked to find himself in the middle of history in the making, "Assassination."

A moment later, his hand found her shoulder, and he turned her about. "Run… run!"

They ran into the public bath as smoke continued to billow outward from the square, to seep into the surrounding structures, reaching for their heels as though it were a sluggish starving beast.

His peace was fractured that sun.

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt

#talk tag #IT KILLS ME. REIGEN IS NOT MOB'S DAD. HE HAS A DAD. INGO IS NOT AKARI'S DAD. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN ANYONE HEAR ME #(not even necessarily to say that ingo is in his late 20s but still)#(even if he was a 30-40-50 year old no matter how old he is no fucking teenager is gonna call some guy they met as a 15 year old ''dad'')#GAI IS NOT A FATHER FIGURE TO ROCK LEE HE WAS LIKE 13 WHEN HE WAS BORN! PLEASE!!!!!!!!#one time i saw that a person wrote a fic where mario was like a father figure to luigi.#they are TWIN BROTHERS.#not what this about but idk where else i can say anything about this.#just horrible #also sometimes someone is just An Older Friend like no familial relationship just a friend or acquaintance who is a lot older than you

having a child has taught me that every toddler is completely justified in their frustrations and tantrums because learning how to do something you have literally never encountered or heard of before is insane. and being expected to be completely calm in the face of this constant barrage of overwhelming information is doubly insane.

i got charlie a sticker activity book and it occurred to me i have to TEACH someone how to unpeel stickers. it's SKILL that requires DEXTERITY and FINE MOTOR ABILITY. i thought it was obvious that you have to curl the page a little bit to create a break in the cut so the sticker comes up.

obviously a fucking BABY wouldn't know that because they have no background experience to inform their thought process. OBVIOUSLY. and OBVIOUSLY the LITERAL BABY wouldn't get it right the first few times. it would OBVIOUSLY take practice. lots of it.

i hate this feeling. it's so obvious. why are children treated so badly when they're learning everything for the first fucking time. why do people treat children so horribly and expect so much. they're brand new. why didn't i get the same grace i give to my child? why did no one have patience for me? why, when it's this easy?

it's so easy. it's so fucking easy.

#ok2rb #op #babbyposting #apologizing to my child is second nature #i'm brand new at it too #obviously im gonna fuck up here and there #its only right to apologize #why did no one ever apologize to me #not until it was too late

Quick reminder since apparently it bears reminding in both directions: if bigoted people, closed-minded people overall, or your own internalized insecurities misinterpret a queer person’s message in a way that hurts/endangers you, yeah, it sucks, but it’s not the fault of the queer person in question, nor should it be a reason for them to silence themselves. They’re probably as hurt/pissed as you are that someone misinterpreted and misused their message to do harm.

Of course sadly there’ll still be queer people that actually DO mean harm and dismissal to other queer people – I ain’t speaking for those and it’s not the best way to ensure their and others’ wellbeing imo. I’m just saying – not all people will be like that. That’s what I want to believe. So hopefully let’s not put everyone in the same bag, keep supporting each other, WHILE allowing each other to advocate for our own visibility, without having to self-erase or self-censor to accomodate to what haters might say.

It’ll be tougher this way, maybe, because humans seem to like to draw extreme conclusions very quick, but I don’t believe there’s any better way for us all to be alright and stay alright on the long run.

#no one can know i don't like sex #queer solidarity #asexual #kink at pride #tw queerphobia #bleh i'm rambling but i hope this'll come across OK #this has been on my mind a lot lately #my art #nonburger

I saw this on FB today and I wanna try and express something about it. Like, you know the curbcutter effect? Where when curbcuts are put in it benefits everyone (bicyclists, people with baby strollers etc) and not just disabled people?

There is also whatever the opposite of the curbcutter effect is. And this is that.

This isn't just anti-adhd/autism propaganda... this is anti-child propaganda.

Kids have developmentally appropriate ways that they need to move their bodies and express themselves and sitting perfectly still staring straight ahead is not natural or good for ANY CHILD.

Don't get me wrong, I was punished unduly as a kid for being neurodivergent (and other types of kid will ALSO be punished unduly for it... Black kids come to mind) and thus UNABLE to perform this -- but even the kids who ARE able to perform this type of behavior are not SERVED WELL by it. They don't benefit from it.

This is bad for everyone.

The idea that bc some kids may be capable of complying with unfair expectations, those expectations don't hurt them... is a dangerous idea. Compliance isn't thriving. Expectation of compliance isn't fair treatment.

#theres a lot of things lately that make me think of this where #people will act like theres this class of people not harmed by something #(laws undermining bodily autonomy come to mind!!!!!)#and its like -- no. the consequences will be worse for some people #but no one is ultimately served by the erosion of bodily autonomy like there is not a class of people who benefit from that #same with lack of right to privacy #there isnt a DEMOGRAPHIC of people who benefit from certain things #there are systems that do. and there may be a handful of individuals who benefit partially or FOR NOW #until those systems are turned against them #i think its important to remind people in certain privileged demographics that like #certain things do benefit them #and others DON'T #you may suffer less statistically but it doesnt benefit you!#its BAD SOCIETALLY.
