ANNOUNCEMENT

This blog is now archived! I can now be found over at @umbrclflame​!

ooc:

Heyo all! Just wanted to jump on really quick to make an announcement that I’ll be archiving this blog soon to make a new one, because the tags are a mess and I don’t want to have to deal with going on anon every time that I wanna send y’all asks. 

I’ll be following a bunch of y’all from there once I got my url claimed (It’ll be under umbrclflame-new, but I’ll change it once I have it all set up).

For now, have a great rest of your day and may good news find you!

Kaui Liang's face made me cute, and those blue eyes ... It's like seeing the sky in his eyes ❤️

Here’s a baby cryomancer and a rough sketch of the best lin Kuei boy 💛💛💛

And Bi Han’s here too I guess 😂

excerpts: the stars aligned to bring you to me

“Gamou is like the sun, be aware of getting too close, lest you get burned along the way.” 

Emoto’s warning echoes yet, words that buzzed on the back of Shinya’s head like insistent flies that refused to leave. Common sense of course, dictates that he should heed those words, to understand the risk that inevitably came along with being the bride of the Archer. Leave behind the man who knew full well what he desired and coveted would result in the death of many. 

If he listened, though, he wouldn’t be here today. 

Shinya Kazama, Aquila Zodiarts, the herald of the constellation of Aquila, the golden eagle. 

The hand caressing the side of his face radiated warmth. His gaze follows it to the face of the man in the chair: a warm smile curls lips that normally looked so harsh. Shinya’s breath catches in his throat, as Mitsuaki Gamou somehow always managed to do with the dark depths of his eyes. Common sense be damned, if this was sin, if this was the sunlight, then let him become the moth to the flame. “Gamou - sama...” 

“You are worth more to me, than all of the rest of the Apostles combined.” 

He bowed his head, to hide the blush that started at the root of his neck. How had he earned this kind of worth? 

                                          Kiss me by the pulse                                         Remind me I’m still ᴀʟɪᴠᴇ

Bollocks… Why does he always try to play games with cheaters? Oh, it would be so easy to call the treasure hunter’s bluff right here and now, a nervous grin stretching his lips unnaturally, brows knit in uncertainty.

Magerold fears death; terribly so. And he knows good and well that Maldron is both a cause and curator of such things. He really ought to be careful. He ought to have been careful twenty seconds ago, even.

But, nevertheless, he simply continues to shift his weight between heels and toes. “Now, now, tha’s no fun,” he says, wagging a finger. “Wouldn’t be a very good merchant if I went an’ laid out all me goodies for the pokin’ at at first request, hah!” His grin turns a bit more genuine as he manages to get one foot out of the hole he’s still digging. “I simply said s’one for the arsenal. Unless… y’got somethin’ t’shoot at, hm…?” He quirks a brow with the question.

“And you know me, Mags, I work when I know what I got to be paid in return.” His brow wiggles beneath his helmet, though Maldron suspects that Magerold could read his expression even with it on. A chuckle rumbles out, he stops just a few feet away from the merchant with as innocuous of an expression as he could manage. 

That’s to say, not that much. 

Gwyn’s soot - stained pants, he was Maldron the Assassin after all. Subtlety is not a part of his name, just as it was not a part of Glencour’s: "As for that question, I think you can ask much the same of yourself, don’t ya? With your initial little line.”

         ﹥*:  ♤  :*+ﾟHe really is fresh then — maybe a couple hours in, if not less. A sliver of pity reaches Dyuu then: he’s been there, he knows the feeling. He remembers when the Borderland took him, when he had been yelling to his agent on the phone: met with a screech that left his ear ringing for long minutes, he found himself in silence, without electricity, and without a working phone. He’d nearly died on his first game too, because he was not certain what he was dealing with, or why. He’d been ill that evening, shaking with self induced stress fever and unable to even keep water down.

           He bites the inside of his cheek. Leans against grey concrete of the nearest building. The games have humbled him in a sense: there’s far more empathy to him than he previously thought. This isn’t a world of corporates and assholes, a world where you have to bite to make your way up. Here, you kill or die, or worse. This is literally life and death.

           There’s still a few hours to the next set of games. Time to explain — time to rest. Allies are your best bet in this place, for the most part.

           Dyuu nods. Gives a small, weak smile, and sighs through his nostrils. ❝There’s lots to be said. I can only help so much❞ A shrug. Swivels on his feet and begins marching away, looking over his shoulder the once.

           ❝Come on. You either trust me, or don’t. I’m not holding your hand.❞

Two pairs of eyes are always better than one. 

Granted, he still doesn’t know if he was a friend or foe, and if this world is as dangerous as he claimed to be, then there is always a chance of being backstabbed in the process. But of course, if Master Libra had taught him anything, it was to always act the way they want to see, hide what he is truly capable of until the time actually calls for it. After all, that was exactly how he remained hidden in plain sight - 

Shinya jogs lightly after him: “A friend of mine always said to trust in more than one pair of eyes, after all.” 

His switch remains hidden in his pocket, tucked away safely by the weight that he still felt. 

Right though, introductions. 

“The name is Shinya Kazama, you are?” 

@friendshipstates, continued from here.

“Hello, I am Shinya Kazama, newest hire here.”

Shinya offers a sheepish smile. How embarrassing, he’d spent the entire day setting up his new office, in preparation for the upcoming classes that he’d ignored meeting the others of the faculty. “Apologies for failing to introduce myself earlier, misjudged the time it took to get from my apartment to here.” 

With that, he offers a hand for the man to shake. 

💞Let's go Raiden!

The scarlet hues of Raiden's gaze pierces through like a bolt of lightning. Crimson lightning crawls up his arm as he regards the one before him, so daringly posing the question: least those others are smart enough to ask him, the ones so foolish enough to think that they have what it takes to pry the storm's beloved from his hands were the true fools.

The Dark Thunder God's mouth twitches, somewhere between a smile and a hungered want: the words tumble from his lips with the rumble of thunders. "Kagutsuchi is one of the few that followed me from the start to the end, aside from Fujin, my brother. No other do I love more than him in this realm."

Raiden's head tilts downward, just enough to hide his face in the shadows of his hat.

"Those who temper with the flame shall find themselves in the face of the wrath of the storm."

💞 (for arc ehehe)

Yellow eyes of the Legendorga king twinkles, his mouth cracking into a toothy smile; serpentine tongue flicking out.

Arc shifts on his throne, resting his left leg atop his right knee.

"What do I have to say?"

The smile warps into a straight line, though his hand crackles with energy. Anyone that had even half a brain would have backed off: "I do hope that anyone who values their life knows to not approach Salem with ill intent."

"There's a reason why even the Fangire King feared me at one point."

Headcanons: Aquila Zodiarts Origins

Aquila Zodiarts, or Shinya Kazama, never became a zodiarts out of some desire for revenge or for power. All he ever wanted was to become important for someone out there, which Kouhei Hayami/Libra Zodiarts had found out about during one of their trips out drinking after school went out.

Hayami offers the man a Zodiarts switch, as a part of a daring plan that he is carrying out behind Gamou’s back to find the suitable hosts for the twelve Apostles. A switch that he first utilized after the first of the Apostles - Cancer Zodiarts - finally appeared in order to aide the Apostle in combat as he was informed by Libra Zodiarts, as the price of the power that he had given him. 

Using the Switch allowed Shinya to become the monstrous representation of the constellation of Aquila the golden eagle.

Meme for Roleplay Muns | Accepting

8. Do your friends outside the internet know your roleplay?

Funny enough, no, actually. Most of them know that I play video games and write, not that I'm on tumblr, partly also because I don't need them to know what kind of degenerate I am from time to time lmao.

20. Do you need music/noise to write or do you prefer silence?

Tbh, it's a weird combination of both. Sometimes I like to listen to songs that I think would fit whatever I was writing, other times I like to sit down and just start knocking shit out to the silence of my room. The latter is more rare though, since there's always someone that is outside my room yapping away.
