Fate/Zero - Ep. 15
(Kariya is tortured healed by Kirei.)
-----
Poor Kariya, he suffered a fate worse than death, and he suffered until the end. This character shocked me.
Fate/Zero was one of the first anime I've ever watched and damn, it's dark (it's even worse in the manga, it has a lot of gruesome scenes).

everyone needs to stop thinking about rosekiller as a tragic pairing and start considering their narrative as the inverse right now. the marauders era has so many beautiful, romantic tragedies: “what would we have done different if we knew what was coming?” but rosekiller is not one of them. every single one of their choices they made on purpose, for each other, knowing the full scope of what it meant. they wouldn’t have done a single thing different if they had to do it a hundred times over. the troubles with them are the circumstances they were given in life— blood purity, abuse, isolation. but they didn’t fall from happiness into a bitter ending (like the marauders), they came from a bitter beginning and made a life that was intentional.
barty came pre-broken. under imperius & his father he was not a whole person yet, he didn’t fully exist. what would you do if you loved someone who, by definition, was un-saveable? i think you would follow him wherever he went. and if the only thing that could get him out and allow him to Become Himself is a movement that’s awful and violent and bloody— of course you would do it anyway if you loved him enough!! i’m focusing on barty because we know more about him in canon. but just!! barty went from an emotionless, hollow half-existence to knowing the full spectrum of human emotion— love at one end, and grief (the last act of love) at the other. he lived to avenge himself by killing his abuser. he lived to avenge his lover by abusing his killer.
why would either of them have done a single thing different? it’s the opposite of a tragic ending— in the bitterest circumstances they made the single best thing they possibly could and that was loving each other. and they did it on purpose. i think about them a lot. anyway

i could not have been the only one that was. extremely disturbed and horrified when i was a kid and was reading the part in point blanc when alex finds out he was drugged and every inch of his body was photographed and studied. and in the show, alex went through the gemini files, saw those pictures and came to the realisation that THAT'S what that terrible fucked up nightmare he had on his first(?) night was. and reading that? seeing that? it was like, wow, this was meant to be a YA series?

WIP Wednesday! ✨
I never do this, but @organsoutsidelovinglydescribed posted a call for folks to participate if they want to and uh, ya girl is new to writing body horror and having a Moment 😂
In this fic, Vash has been shot in the abdomen and is facing the hours ahead his body needs to heal itself (it will get worse before it gets better...), so Wolfwood proposes an... unconventional solution for pain relief.

🐸 Oasis of Eve 🪷
🌺🌸🌼
In the oasis of Eve, lush and green,
Where fireflies dance in midnight's scene,
A fairy bathes in waters clear,
Embraced by lilies, delicate and sincere.
Hyacinths bloom with cleansing might,
Fish guard with grass, a steadfast sight,
Frogs and dragonflies, guardians they soar,
Keeping pests at bay, forevermore.
Lily pads, in twilight's hue,
Serene and still, a tranquil view,
Resting gently on waters' breast,
In nature's embrace, they find their rest.
Beneath the gentle waterfall's caress,
She washes away the day's distress.
Birds serenade with melodies divine,
As she dries herself in muslin fine.
A robe of silk, a whispering breeze,
Enfolds her form with graceful ease.
Anointing her skin with nature's song,
Gardenia attar, sweet and strong.
Through bamboo walls, a secret gate,
Into a realm where time can wait.
Vines, roses, and bushes abound,
In this sanctuary where magic is found.
In the moon's soft embrace, she roams,
A pilgrim in this sacred home.
In Eden's heart, she finds her peace ,
Oasis of Eve, where souls release.
JI

oh no...
GODDAMNIT DYSLEXIA.
I was passing by a poll that had a Wes fic and a dissection fic as two separate answers.
(I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this...)
Well, they ended up on the same line in my head, even though they were most definitely not that way on the poll.
BUT MY GOD. THE ANGST POTENTIAL.
In the Alternate Universe that contains Wes, everyone in Amity thinks WES is Phantom.
I'll say that again:
Everyone in Amity thinks Wes is Phantom.
Including Phantom's human enemies.
Like the GIW. And Danny's parents.

When the truth comes out about Joel’s lie and what he did at the hospital everyone always focuses their stories on what Ellie goes through.
But what about Joel?
Ellie yells at him, says she hates him and then doesn’t speak or go near him again.
Joel gives her space despite how much it hurts and is hopeful maybe at some point soon she might want to look at him at least.
But she doesn’t.
Hours, days, weeks and suddenly Joel doesn’t know how long it’s since he had more then a tiny glimpse of Ellie in the distance.
Time stops for Joel again.
It had stopped after Sarah for 20 years before starting again all because of a journey across the US with a girl he came to love so much. Too much maybe.
It should scare him, how fast he goes back to old habits when she is gone from his life, how easy it is to fade away, lock everything down again, retreat behind a hard wall of survival where nothing matters anymore. But that part of him that would be concerned is locked far far away now so the thought doesn’t even cross his mind.
There are no pills or easy liquor to help him sleep like in Boston so he spends his sleepless nights at first aimlessly walking Jackson, unable to sit alone in an empty dark home. Then he starts volunteering for the night patrols since he is awake anyway.
He keeps busy, insanely so. If he is busy he doesn’t think about Ellie. If he is busy he isn’t in a house to quiet and empty with only him in it. So he builds things in town, fixes things for anyone that asks and goes on as many patrol shifts, hunting trips and wall watches as he can get, sneaking more (much to Tommy’s ire when he finds out later) by being the guy who always says yes to anyone needing to get off a shift for any reason.
He gets a bit reckless. First to jump into danger to help someone. First to distract and bait infected. First to jump into a fight. He won’t put his patrol partners or anyone else at risk but that main drive to live is gone again and he is so tired..... so if anything happens to him out there? It’s not a big deal anymore. It’s not like anyone but Tommy might care now and he is well set with a wife and kid of his own anyway. He’d be fine.
Tommy sees the change and it scares him to no end. Joel is like he was right after losing Sarah all over again but older, more world weary. The anger is gone this time, replaced with a quiet resignation that terrifies him. Like a man waiting on death row. Ellie is angry and rightfully so. Tommy really can’t interfere in this, it’s not his place, and the new baby takes up so much of his time these days, but he watches as his brother fades more and more and he isn’t sure how long it will be before Joel might decide not to flinch.
