The day shines hot and bright on a brand new store - a small pop-up shop, featuring sweets both traditional and Western, everything sugary and decorated and fifty percent off thanks to a grand opening sale. 

And unlike the usual rash of new businesses that have appeared in Tokyo, this one is operated by a smiling young man, one with icy blue eyes hidden behind a pair of purple tinted glasses. 

“Welcome to Sweeties, and thank you for joining us! Don’t forget to try one of our delicious cupcakes - buy anything in the store, and get one free.”

agate: how my muse calms down

—

“If I’m alone, I prefer to go for a long walk somewhere. If that’s not an option, then warm tea is the next best thing.

“If I’m with strangers, I try to remove myself from the situation so I can take some time to think things through. Again, a long walk would still be my preferred method.

“Each of my brothers also provide different ways I can calm down. 

“With Jadeite, I can vent and say anything I want, and he’ll listen. He won’t offer any advice, but usually I don’t need it. The act of venting to him nearly always helps me come to a solution I hadn’t thought of. If nothing else, I at least get the frustration out so I can reset and calm down.

“With Nephrite, we play chess. Focusing my mind on something other than what frustrated me helps me better process it if I need to come back to it later. If not, I let the stress roll away with each piece moved.

“Zoisite was actually the one who introduced me to drinking warm tea when I’m frustrated. The particular blends of tea he recommends have always been spot on for tackling nearly every one of my moods. I can never make it taste as good as when he makes it…

“And then Kunzite… He’s the one I go to if I’m looking for real advice. Not that I can’t trust my other brothers, but because he knows me probably better than I know me.  If I’ve come up to a roadblock causing me frustration that I can’t overcome on my own, he is usually the first I can turn to for advice on how to move forward.

OOF i had people want/tell me to water down characters like yuno from mirai nikki and junko from danganronpa and its like “LOL no go find some other person that does that.”

Exactly Like, I’ve seen this problem since my earliest days roleplaying anyone canon. I’ve always been more attracted to the morally-skewed or villainous, so I’ve been able to see it through multiple fandoms.

And I get it? Not everyone can handle the darker themes - or even more human themes - of villains, nor want to. Escapism is one of the key reasons to delve into fanfiction and RP, and holding the mirror up to nature in such a way is less escaping and more of coping. Of acknowledging, in the safe space of fiction, and understanding the inner workings of people who do bad things. 

So, I get it. I really do. And especially when you bring nostalgia into the mix, it can be really hard to look at a character you loved as a child through the eyes of an adult and see their flaws. Or, even, see things painted as flaws that really aren’t. It’s hard to confront the human element of fictional favorites from our childhood. 

But to ignore that these characters were or are villains is to ignore the core of their being. By all means, Fandom, reform your villains if you desire; I’m doing that exact thing with this blog. But to strip them of everything that gained them the title of antagonist within their canon is a disservice to author and character.

No, you don’t have to agree. No, you don’t have to like, but to ignore for the sake of your own interpretation? Make an OC. Then, you can give them whatever you wish, however you wish to do it, and tailor them to exactly what you want without having to compromise or strip anyone or anything.

Okay that got longer than I expected and a little ranty...

                she’s definitely seeing something she’s not supposed to be seeing. she had seen her fair share of cosplayers in the red-light district but this seemed a little more ... convincing ?? did the little girl before her just fight some kind of weird monster woman ?? surely not. this couldn’t be real. ah, but she was spotted by the girl in the flashy costume. she turns, clearing her throat and hopefully walking away quietly would let her escape.

There’s no mystery in what Jadeite felt for Serenity. The ruins of the Silver Millennium, the ashes of a kingdom, the blood of her friends, her love, her citizens, tells that story. 

But a lifetime from then (multiple, even) there will be a different story, of a knight who became an elite who became a cafe worker, a student, a friend, and (again) a brother. Of a crybaby girl who loved so hard she changed the world and refused to give anything and anyone up and became a queen. 

There’s plenty of mystery in the story of how a brother turned knight turned revolutionary traitor became guardian to that girl (that guardian, that hero, that queen) ‘s daughter, and the answer to that mystery never came in single pieces or easy words. It happened in pieces and bits, started with a miracle romance and a partner and a boy who lost the memories of his childhood but gained an ancient life, and his desire for friends, and it ended with one of those friends (this one, the blond one) dying for his daughter and hers. 

But in the middle, or maybe the beginning-middle, it was awkward and stiff, it was apologies from a mouth that wasn’t used to shaping them and wariness that warred with a heart full of love and forgiveness. It was peace offering cookies eagerly accepted and a little girl with bright pink hair and red eyes begging for hugs from Mama and stories from an uncle.
