Director: We gotta get the cRUNCH, Raito!
Its a problem- i can have hundreds of ideas but never include them
it's a lot of stuff...
Farren had been killed, he had gotten in the middle of a fight in a tavern in the kingdom of Septrum to try and stop it
Though the guys were bigger and by the time that the guards had come to try and stop them, Farren wasn't breathing
Rowan since he had been travelling with Farren, was the first to know, and it had broke him
Eduardo was the second to know, he got a letter one day the morning of work, he had been walking with Salamander out the door when he noticed he had got a letter
"Give me a second Sal! Let me just read this" he said as he grabbed the letter
Oh! An Septrum seal, must be from his brother, he thought as he smiles brightly ripping open the envelope
He starts to read and his smile fades, and tears form onto his eyes
Sal was the third to know as he looked back to see Lalo, the happy go lucky cheery friend, break down in the middle of the road
He didn't go to work that day, instead he visited Victor and Deuce
Holding the letter tightly in his hands as he knocks on the house door
Lisa was the one to open it- she's older now, she's 13, so when she sees her uncle standing there crying, she knows something is wrong
She drags him in and offer him tea, then calls for her brother and brother in law
Victor is the first to go downstairs and check on Lalo, he sends Lisa out of the room,she protests but does leave, staying outside the door to eaves drop
Deuce was with Victor as well, as the three men sit around the table, Lalo struggling to talk so he shows them the letter
And Victors eyes widen, and he covers his mouth
"He's de-dead?" Victor felt himself feel many emotions, anger and sadness being the two main ones
Eduardo and Farren were his best friends, they helped him through so much, and he was pretty sure he wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them
And now Farren was dead-
Victor felt himself tear up as well, it was as if his brother died, and Deuce had to hug him so he wouldn't break down
After a while they called Lisa in, once everyone was calm,
Lisa felt the sadness in the room and asked what happened
"Your uncle Farren died.."
"What-What?" She had to hold onto the table for support "Fay?- uncle Fay?" She looked at Lalo, as if hoping he would say it wasn't true as if it was some cruel joke
But it wasn't
That night the four of them had dinner together,and spent time together as they worked through the grief
Jaskier and Salamander came by after Jaskiers work shift to check on them, and to bring them some snacks, spending some time with them as well, to comfort them, though eventually the two did leave
The day after was similar to the night before, not alot of talking, but definitely spending time together, appearently watery skies had heard the news and we're on they're way to serenity to pay they're respects,
The wake was going to be in serenity, appearently Septrum was going to be bringing the body
The morning after, surprisingly came alot of people to visit the four of them, old workmates of Lalos, old friends of Victors, even old travel buddies of Farren to pay they're respects
The day was hard for everyone who cared for Farren, though Victor, Deuce, Lisa and Lalo all stayed together, that night Victor was sitting with Eduardo, going through some books for Lisa when Lalo spoke up
"I think..I'm gonna travel to Septrum before the wake, to visit Rowan"
"How do you think he's doing?"
"Not good, he loved my brother, I know he did.. I'll visit there soon"
Days go on and Eduardo was there, in Septrum, a place he had never even heard of before his brother and brother in law traveled there
He walked through the busy streets on his way to the town inn, he had received a letter from Rowan telling him where he was staying
What was Lalo really planning? Honestly just to be there for Rowan while both of them grieved, and maybe convince him to go back to Serenity for the funeral
He walked over to the inn walking in, it had been so long since he traveled anywhere outside of Serenity- well actually ever, he had never been outside of Serenity, maybe a few times he ran out to the mystic forest with Victor and Farren when they were younger but that's it
So this was new to him
He walked over to the stairs walking up, pulling Rowans letter from his cloak and scanning the paper to look for his Inn number
7, huh... Farrens lucky number, he shooks his head and walked to room 7, knocking before leaning against the wall
Rowan, the tall dark elf opened the door, seeing Lalo and letting him in
The night goes on as so, they talk and catch up, Rowan explains how Farren died, and Lalo makes dinner for both of them
The next few days go on as so, Lalo and Rowan talk or do something together, Lalo ends up cooking dinner because he wants to, and so
On the third night, Lalo brought Rowan his plate of food, Rowan was sitting Infront of the window looking down at it
"Something on your mind?" Lalo said sitting down
"You should leave town tonight" he said suddenly
Lalo stared at him confused, Rowan wasn't even looking at him when he said that, just looking at the busy streets
There was a few moments of silence before "Why?'
Rowan stared at the town a tad bit longer, before looking over at Lalo
"I'm going to burn it to the ground"
Akuji was so young when it started
He had to have been around.. 7?8? When his dad took him to a 'friends' house for the first time
When he talked to the man, the man Akuji barely recognized from the balls and dinners he and his family attended oh so much, when his father nodded then turned to Akuji
"Be good, and listen to him, I'll pick you up in a few hours"
Then he just left, before Akuji was even able to mutter a question, he was so confused as he stood in the middle of this strangers living room, slowly turning to look at the man
Who was staring at him like he was a piece of meat, like he was gonna eat him alive.. then he unbuckled his pants..
That night, when his father returned, Akuji was a mess, his clothes hastily back on, his hair a mess, and his eyes puffy from crying, his throat hurt so much because of the screaming
They got home late, when everyone in the house was asleep, as soon as they stepped in Akuji's room, he started to sob again, trying to tell his father of the horrible things that happened
But his father just looked to the side "Don't tell anyone else" was all he said before walking out
It continued, for years.. each time he begged his father to not let them touch him, to stop this from happening, but his father always told him the same
So he did, keep this to himself, he honestly didn't think anyone would believe him either, so he never mentioned it, even when he would run into these same men at balls and events,he would hastily run out of the room and hide to break down
His mom once found his bruises on his back, and the deep scratches on his back.. after all the Areani had such sensitive skin, he was able to play off most of it
"Oh i got in a spar with a few fencing students.. I ended up falling on some metal" excuses excuses
After so many years of the same thing over and over
Once a week.. usually Saturday night, he ended up in some older mans bedroom
He was 16, his eyes never looked up, he was numb as he started to feel the man touch his skin
He just wanted it over, just for everything to be over, he was tired of it, of being used like this, he couldn't handle it, he was so afraid
Before the man is even able to take off Akuji's pants, he noticed a whiskey bottle on the nightstand, his instinct kicks in and he quickly grabs it and slams it against the man's head
He felt the man go limp over his body
After a few seconds that felt like hours to Akuji, he drops the bottle, realizing what he had done, he had blood splayed out on his chest, he was starting to feel his breathing quickened, and his heart felt tight
He looked at the motionless body that layed on top of him, and quickly scrambled away, falling off of the bed and onto the glass that had fallen on the ground, yelling out in pain when the glass carved into his back
He scrambles to sit in the corner of the room, holding his chest while he stares at the body, tears filling his eyes as he realized what he has done
No no no no no no
He couldn't have killed him right? Fuck fuck fuck
He didn't know how long he was sitting there staring, he noticed the body's lips went from pink to blue, and his eyes glossed over, Akuji must have been there for hours before he heard the lock click and his father's steps
He heard his father pause and drop something, Barek couldn't even look over, his eyes were stuck on the body
The father didn't really react, he quickly grabbed ahold of his son, roughly picking him up from his arm "Get your clothes on. Now" he said to him before turning to the body again
Akuji quickly put on his shirt and coat, sliding his boots on before turning back to the scene
His father had wrapped up the man in two blankets, and grabbing a cigar from his own coat, and lighting it with a candle that had been burning nearby "Go outside"
Akuji didn't have to be told twice, he was outside by the blink of an eye
After a few moments he heard crashing and weird noises from inside, he had flinches and turned to look at the door, to see his father walking out, meanwhile it was noticeable that a certain room in the house began to burst into flames
Fuck- that house is gonna burn quick
Akuji didn't have enough time to pause and freak out, because as he was watching the smoke house come out of the house, and the flames engulf everything in the house, he felt his arm being dragged away by his father
Once they're quite a ways away from the burning house, and well the town in general, his father finally spoke
"Get out of the city.. get off the island if you need to fuck"
"Wha-.."
"Get the fuck out of here, okay? Tonight.. now, your not Akulji anymore, I don't care who you say you are, but you not him anymore, from this night forward Akulji is dead, died in his sleep"
Akulji didn't even know what to say he didn't even know what to do
As his father turned to leave he turned one last time toward him "Never tell anyone who you were.. your not Akulji anymore" and with that he left
Akulji began to tear up, but he couldn't scream or cry, he just stood there and let tears run down his face
Eventually he did make it out of town, he was able to get to another town a few hours away, walking distance though of course,
He spent a week living on the street, begging for money, and stealing when he needed to, he never really spoke to anyone
Up until the newly formed Watery Skies docked into town
Akulji tried to steal from someone he assumed was part of the crew, a tall lady with short hair and Abit of muscle, some of the others called her Lydia, it didn't matter to him
He just needed a few more coins for some food
He was caught, and Lydia was going to just get her money and leave but she noticed how.. hurt and uncared for he look
He definitely had been sleeping on the streets.. and when she found out how young he was, she couldn't just leave him there, so eventually she offers him a spot in the crew
She was the captainz and offering him a place to stay
He said yes, without hesitation
When she was taking him to the crew, she had a supportive arm around his shoulder, and she introduced him to the crew
"Everyone welcome.. uh- what's your name?"
"..Barek"
Oops, I started a ridiculous challenge.
people get so confused trying to figure out the Lois/Clark/Superman situation that somehow they come to the conclusion that Clark is cheating on Lois with Superman
You always got strange looks whenever you fed the neighborhood ravens. “I give them food, they give me company,” you’d say. One day, a raven excitedly comes up to you and whispers, “A neighbor plots against you, my lord.”
You were terrified when you were sentenced to be thrown into the labyrinth with the Minotaur. That is until the Minotaur charged around the corner and you discovered, to your surprise, that the Minotaur was a calf. You’re not a victim. You’re a babysitter.

[id: screenshots of tiktok captions. the images say, “but the only reason we still love princess diana is because she did not have the time to disappoint us.”]
begging queer kids to read up on princess diana’s involvement with the community. yes, she was a rich, pretty monarch. yes, she died young.
but the reason why queer people love her is because she used her privilege during the aids crisis to advocate for sick queer men, when very few others would - much less someone of her status.
diana spent years advocating for the health and care of queer people with hiv/aids. in 1987, at the height of the epidemic, she opened the first specialist clinic dedicated to treating aids patients (the first clinic of it’s kind in the uk).
she also fought public hysteria by hugging and shaking bare hands with aids patients, at a time when aids was thought to be spread by skin to skin contact. not only that, she visited patients in the clinic regularly and even comforted them through their sickness.
and when queen elizabeth told her to try focusing on “something more pleasant”?
diana ignored her and kept fighting.
and this is only her work towards the aids crisis. she publicly called out the royal family, brought attention to numerous world issues, and was known as an advocate for empathy and kindness. she’s known and loved as the people’s princess for good reason

Hey y'all, you helped me get my bank account out of the negative, and I'm so grateful, but me, my fiancee and our partner who all live here together still need a lot of help. I'm the one who brings in the majority of the income with my new bakery job that still hasn't paid me and when it comes in pretty much all of that is going to go to bills and food.
Rent for September is coming up, and we're due to pay $936 by September 3rd,that's the latest we can pay without incurring late fees. If you can donate or spread, hopefully we'll be able to make it long enough for me to get established at work with my hours and not have to be begging online so much!!!!!!

In one point of Stray a mural says “It’s been 2544875556 days since robots gained their Soul”.
That is 6,972,262 years.
It’s heavily implied that humans have been gone for almost 7 million years.
And humanity is still living in their creations. They still play songs that humans had created. They created art in their image. They talk as if they are just around the corner, as if they haven’t been gone for longer then they have been alive.
Humanity’s creations following in their footsteps steps never to forget the impact they made. As B-12 said “I see a future in the companions and in you.”
Humanity will survive into the future in those it left behind. It’s a new dawn. Light shines on an ancient city for the first time. And no one really dies as long as they left something behind.

I love the game Stray! It’s got everything I love and I got so attached to the characters and especially the cat we play as! I’ve never felt so attached to a player character before ;w;
If I had to give one critique, I wish we got an epilogue at the end so I decided to fill the void and make my own! Lots of reunions with robot friends and your cat pack and no one dies >w>
I need to talk to someone about these robots NOW

reblog this and tag with a food you no longer have access to (closed restaurant, state you moved away from, ex’s mom’s cooking, etc) that will haunt you until your dying day, mine are the spicy chicken sandwich on the employee menu at the fine dining restaurant I was a prep cook at, and the onion bagel from the kosher place down the street from my house when I lived in the city
