I thought of you
When I heard the piano piece
I thought of you and that night
How did that man know, do you
Speak to them but not to me
Well when I heard the piano
It did not matter for I felt
Your arms around me giddy
The cool air and setting sun
It was glorious, the sun set,
As the moon split from it
A first portent of our respite
And there they came
Our stars

Kaeya had always been an efficient and hard-working individual (he had to be to support Diluc in the background as his brother rose thru the ranks after all).
He has so much free time because he completes all his work way ahead of schedule. And if he still has enough time, he adds more to the workload in secret.
And once all of that was done and over with, he makes time for everyone. He has to. He feels as if every moment has to be given to someone else.
No one knows how he does it. No one has to know.
Every mission has a dozen strategies in line, and every battle plan is made with efficiency in mind. His perfect record will not be tarnished. He can't risk it (even if it baffles others that he would willingly activate a ruin guard just to prevent a failed mission. Jean disagrees with his methods, but Kaeya can say that the results say otherwise)
He needs to be quick.
Efficient.
Perfect.
And so he comes and goes like the wind.
Kaeya values time because he knew every second counted. He can't just stand there as if he were frozen. Time could run out in an instant.
Kaeya had only been late once his entire life.
He'd rather he never be late ever again.
It took one day of being of being imperfect for everything to fall apart. On that tragic day...had he gotten there on time... then maybe...
.
.
.
" Come on, let's get moving, traveler. We're not frozen in place after all. " Kaeya teasingly says. He stiffles a giggle at the traveler's exhasperated sigh.
"Yeah yeah, we've heard enough of you calling us a slacker. Can't you be a bit more patient?" Paimon whines at him.
Kaeya snorts, but acquiesces, hiding the shaking of his hands at the thought of being idle.
He imagines hearing a clock ticking.
Kaeya knows that that is his own problem. He tries his hardest to relax as he waits for the traveler to finish whatever they're making on the alchemy table because, seriously, it is supposed to be a relaxing day. There's nothing major going on, and his schedule is once again empty as intended. What's the hurry?
Kaeya taps his foot on the ground as he waits. He wishes he could take his own damn advice when he tells others to relax.

There is so much untapped potential in the idea of young Lark and Sparrow using the San Dimas Museum of Natural History as their personal playground. I'm picturing full cartoon-y hijinks, including but not limited to:
They dress up in historic costumes and pretend to be part of an exhibit, jump-scaring visitors for laughs
Trying to scare the living shit out of henry by crawling in the skin of a stuffed tiger and pretending its alive
Them sneaking into the museum after closing hours and playing superspy with the laser sensors. They of course set them off, triggering the museum's security system, and quickly scramble out of there before the police arrives
They accidentally break some statue and spend all day trying to glue it back together
Taking the intercom hostage and saying the most batshit insane stuff while Henry desperately begging them to open the door

Sweet things from an otherwise brutal week:
—ran into a parent who saw me and said “Macbeth right now, right? My son is so excited about it” and when I say I would never have ever guessed that. Except that as soon as he said it I was like oh yeah, he’s been volunteering to read more than usual and looks the smallest bit more awake
—I was doing some basics of writing review with my sophomores and touched on the ‘don’t use first person pronouns’ rule and we were talking about why and then Jane Eyre popped into my head so I told them that first person pronouns could be used to great effect in fiction and quoted the “reader I married him” line and two girls GASPED in wonder and delight. It was the CUTEST
—I passed two 7th graders in the hallway and they were talking about chicken nuggets and I said “I LOVE chicken nuggets” and they started to laugh and as I left I heard one of them say ‘I love Miss K.’

The way Suguru keeps poking at his forehead just before he turned to the dark side is significant far as religious themes in jjk go, as it's where the "third eye" (associated with spiritual enlightenment and religious visions) is usually depicted to be. His "third eye" was awakened and he was finally able to see the truth and light at the end of his tunnel, a way out of his endless struggle. And having attained that enlightenment, leaves mankind to burn while he seeks to get closer to god by becoming one himself.

See my thing with vengeful spirit/entity revenge horror is I just… don’t get why they can’t be friends?? I always feel really bad for the monsters like wow I’m sorry you had a horrific life and death that really sucks. And I get that they’re angry and want revenge but it’s always on innocent people. Why is it never enough to find someone who empathizes with their pain and tries to help them/lay them to rest? WHY DO WE HAVE TO MURDER THE NICE PEOPLE???
Anyways I would die in a horror movie because I would be like I’m gonna befriend the creepy haunted murder doll and this will horrifically backfire on me

Kiss Me in Komorebi+ 🌸
[Episode Five] One Last Push!
All bake and no bite! 🧁 With a little help from some social grease and a blend of tobacco and Old Toby, Daniel and Adrian enjoyed a reflective moment together out under the night sky. Sure, it was in a car park at midnight - but stargazing is magical wherever you are!

Am about to start 4 back-to-back meetings with a vicious head cold, half a cup of coffee, a sleep schedule all over the place, and the dregs of everything I took last night to get my incredibly stupid, disease-ridden body to calm down for five seconds.
Pray for me.
