adrian may you please share insight on sephiroth's castlevania au 👁️🤲
why YES, ari, of course i can :)
castlevania sephiroth is, essentially, an all knowing primordial being whose existence spans across … well, all time.
essentially x2, in bullet points because brain:
jenova = calamity god/creature. jenova's offspring are deemed angels of death, of which sephiroth is one. each angel is 'assigned' to different purposes, right. sephiroth's is history. however! sephiroth was raised not knowing this about himself until later on in life, in which he was given the revelation that he is not human, and his maker is a calamity god. his purpose was made for death, to chronicle history, and nothing else. the knowledge becomes too much to bear, the legacy, thus his eventual descent into madness.
now, the thing about sephiroth is he actually did almost end mankind and the world a long, long time ago. safer sephiroth and everything, as that is his true form in this verse. but in the depths of his madness, he was ultimately defeated. funnily enough, sephiroth recounts this history and he leaves no detail unwritten. he would've been the next coming of calamity if he wasn't defeated. and it was humans that defeated him. poetic!
in the present era, his home is a library, dubbed the forbidden library for its contents. only accessible to those who actively seek out devastating knowledge. the room is so vast, one wouldn't exactly be far off to say it's infinite, that it never truly ends. he will neither confirm nor deny if it's true.
the room itself is a separate entity in a way. come and go as it pleases at sephiroth's discretion, but he's been content with keeping it in dracula's castle as of late.
speaking of dracula, dracula is actually the one who summoned him. after lisa's death, his grief had him seek out every possible avenue of vengeance, thus he beckons sephiroth and his knowledge. he desires the knowledge to exterminate mankind. alucard is assigned to gain commanding knowledge from sephiroth as well, and they eventually fall in love.
another thing! those who seek the knowledge receive that knowledge written solely by sephiroth. every book in that library is written by him all throughout millennia. it's all notably neutral, too. even of his own defeat, it's unbiased.

what an empty epitaph that is.
i might find love.
in a way, who's the cuck?
why do i care what you have to say?
no, you're not lonely when you're hanging with yourself.
the world can be so cruel.
i'm crawling out of my skin.
i know that's my future looking right back at me.
it's a picture in his wallet.
i trust my information 'cause i know my source is good.
sing yourself a song.
so see you later, live and be well.
i'm counting on love
come back home.
everyone has secrets, but not everyone can fool a man like that.
how many times?
i heard these words today, it ain't gonna feel good.
i feel for your situation, but listen to me, if you would.
what to do?
things get hard, you don't know what to do.
it's so funny.
why aren't you picking up?
you think the game isn't fair.
we had such a pretty thing.
are you gonna do what they tell you to?
you doubt me now?
you said he looked just like a girl, so you like girls.
i'm better, without you no more.
one day here, the next she's gone.
it's over.
remember to try and forget.
no, this isn't a joke.
carry on with that song.
good luck with that.
through it all i miss you, babe.
i'm sad that you would say what you said yesterday.
every day is better with you.
sorry, it was a bit of a mix up.
is it all the same that i'm not giving up?
don't you wish you could be somebody else?
go back to the start to see the reason why.
what does it say about us?
i'll follow the rules and do what i'm told.
what you do you want from me?
i'll outlast the hate to find real love that's not pretend.
well you better believe me, darling.
there she is, gap-tooth smile.
don't forget where you've come from.
does the gold spoon do it the same or was silver enough?
god, how lucky can a simple man be?
there's always that fear that i'm not enough.
we can't be friends when this is done.
there's a crux to everything.
i'm awake.
thank me now, for when the sun's down, we're gonna be warm.and
you know i wouldn't do that kind of thing to you.
something special's happening.
things were always heavy when things didn't go your way.
the fire's on, it takes a day for the water to boil.
it's not fair, it's love.
i was wrong, and eventually the clock was always gonna stop.
i was naive, unsure about it.
do you have regret boy? let it rest.
the connection is real.
haven't seen you again, i guess that's our swan song.
my future's not what i thought, i think i thought it wrong.
is it really like this?
met another man. no, he wasn't like me.
yeah, is that what you want?
that work just won't do itself.
my old apartment isn't looking too good.
just looking hot and keeping monotone and understated.
you're not quick enough
i worried, even cried.
why when you look back, do you look past the bad?
wait your turn, the gift's the time it takes.
hey, it's me. i miss you.
yeah, you can count me out.
it's taking everything right outta me.
you're primitive, ideas are naive.
i'm running through the snow again.
i got your back any day.
i still trust in love.
so what will you choose, your heart or your pride?
i'm glad that you're okay.
the past's the past.
i'll just wait another day.
life's funny, isn't it?
i took it for granted, all that you do.
you just gonna let fear take that?
tell me, what's that song?
thought i couldn't live without you.
for the rest of my life, i'll pay my dues.
maybe you show me how.
come and find me.
well, tomorrow you'll be shaking my hand.
when will spring come again?
i don't wanna live a life where that's my big exchange.
how can i convince myself? convince myself to stay?
yeah, the future's over.
you must do what's right.
life keeps swallowing, that's why i learned to cook.
when will the movement end?
i couldn't change it so don't ask me anymore.
in my dreams, i'm back on you.
my intention was to make you proud.
i do it all for you.
you won't forget me when i move away.
i'm a boat that's sinking.
i don't want your money.
i just graduated top of my class, furthest from last.
dry those eyes.
you picked me up every time.
unfortunately, we're gonna need you.
this chapter is through.
i wish i could release ya.
that can wait another day.
shouldn't loose ends come back to mend?
show your family that the heart can ache.
could you really be so self-satisfied?
is he gonna love you like i would?
i knew a girl, she brought me life.
come on, pretty baby.
buddy, i remember who you are.
big man, who are you?
i always do what's right.
you left your cards face up on the table.
how does it feel?
why's my heart pounding, beating out of my chest?
life can bring you down.
try to forget? i've tried.
let me introduce this sugar candy of mine.
yes, i know who you are.
hey, sorry to let you know last minute.
it's all an act, i'm cold 'cause i'm weak.
i've seen this movie before.
when will i release myself?
don't pin me down.
how can i repay the due?
will you give it back?
you can count on me, i'm leaning back on you.
i guess i'll take it.
i think i've heard this song.
we're sitting dead on the ground, there's nothing more to be said.
i'll try for all of my life.
yeah, you are what you eat.
that makes one of us.
guess i'll play along.
your future's right out the door.
hurt doesn't fade, it always lingers.
i'd lay my life down on the line for you, that's the truth.
would you mind calling me back?
come on, swallow that.
my future's up in the air.
now i take the train, it's good enough for me.
deep down inside, there's nothing unique.
it feels like a big waste of time.
what about him, though?
no, i don't look back in anger. do you?
now i drive a truck and it drives pretty well.
that doesn't sound like real love.
how'd it feel to take the light from my life?
i followed every winding road and the path it took me to.
let it out from inside you.
hey, it's been too long.
who's gonna love you like i could?
i got a feeling that a break is gonna happen maybe right now.
i try not to blame.
is that you?
be serious.
please tell me that things get easier.
don't drag me anymore.
i swear i've had this dinner before.
i think my teacher was a massive bully back in the day.
i just don't care like they think i do.
you understand, you help me see it through.
i'm mad that you could live and love me like you did.
let it be what it is.
maybe you can show me how.
i'm done.
i guess i'll thank you and spite your name again.
like a witch i know, i need my potion.
gotta show you a couple of things.
am i just another gel man?
i'm built different, i don't work like that.
that's my little missus, she's my number one.
no, i don't need that bad information.
i'm emancipated out on my own.
i'm in heaven.
jesus, dude, chill.
i really miss you.
i think you're scared of being basic.
you leave much to be desired.
one heart could beat for the two of us.
man, it's always sad to go.
it's like my capacity to love and give has changed.
it's not funny.
no, i won't be lonely anymore.
don't listen to him, just listen to me.
oh god, i wish i could delete ya.
you told me yourself that he didn't love you, that he didn't care.
just give it time.
what does it say about me?
i'm a sucker for looks.
whatcha taking from the rightful lender?
every single step that you take is just another one back.
i've shot this picture before.
they don't know what's right.
i often think about you.
just gotta focus
i'll just keep moving on.
the sun is out.
i used to say i didn't have a brother, i guess i can't say it anymore.
i want simple pleasures, friends who have my back.
i know you're probably on your way, but we're not gonna get to you tonight.
i'm driving up to our place.
i salute the time we had but love can't break the spell.
so goodbye until next time my dear friend.
will i ever know the story?
anything's cool if it's done with heart.
what does it mean to love somebody?
i was there to comfort you with all respect gone.
i cannot dream, this one's not for me.
i'm packing up my things again.
i wonder who is on this island with me..
i see right through your skin.
it's not over till it's done.
lonesome is a state of mind.
i don't care for fame
i can't do this anymore.
that's ironic 'cause it's reading like you're even more basic.
why do i feel so bad?
don't try and show me the way.
how did he get so confident?
i was downtown late last night.
' yer lily's old man, right? ' and that other kid too—well, not so much a kid like the little lady whose height comes barely above his knee. he's seen him in his uniform, after all. young man even took time out to shake his hand, introduce himself, like he's the parental figure. funny, that. he doesn't see the resemblance in @starsacross when it comes to him, but he certainly does with lily. that's his little girl, alright.
the cigar in his hand feels heavy. taps it against his thigh, ' good kid you got there. same goes for the other one, ' he fishes for a lighter in his pocket with his other hand, coming up empty. ' the name's logan. laura's dad. got a light? '
SENDER kisses RECEIVER slowly, unhurried aki aki aki
cayden's luxurious apartment is practically another home to him, at this point. he knows that the moment you walk in there's a shoe cubby to the right. he knows there's a framed photo of cayden with his fathers on the hall table—
and he knows that the wall cayden's pushed him up against is the one that leads into the open kitchen with a matching set of bar stools at the counter and into the living room, where he's more than familiar with the couches that sit there. but their lips soon meet at cayden's behest, and the thought melts away. it's not what he expects, the lack of haste, and it's a far cry from how they got to this point, but it works. and it's nice.
aki's arms reach up as he presses himself closer, using cayden's shoulders as a makeshift armrest. they hang off him, even as his hands circle back to grip at their hair, fingers bunched at the strands above the nape. ' cay — ' he says when they part, a string of spittle keeping them connected. he slumps back into the wall, taking his company with him. sighs against his mouth, ' don't be a tease. '

“ why can’t you look me in the eye? ” @ aki
aki doesn't know when this all started—when looking at cayden morphed into looking at someone else. glimpses of the aforementioned someone else from the edges of his periphery, blink-and-you-miss-it, until it eventually bled into his whole vision with every glance shared. lighter hair. same-colored eyes, though the fact they're the same color as one of cayden's doesn't leave his notice.
and that's not mentioning the fact that his right eye thoroughly burns when he looks at him now.
he knew it wouldn't escape his notice for long. that unconscious turn of his chin when he draws near. the heaviness in the air that follows. he's quiet when he finally gathers the mettle to say it, ' … it's not your eyes i see. ' anymore.
“ is… that my shirt you’re wearing? ” ff7 akicayden 😜
' … what about it? ' a silence settles between them, in the open space of his apartment. ( aki, with his back leaned against the doorway of his small balcony, cigarette hanging from his mouth. pinched between the middle of two fingers, when he pulls away to exhale. cayden, some paces away, watching him with a familiar look across his face. he recognizes it, alright. saw it in his eyes not an hour prior as he spread his legs open, descended— ) and he lets it. lets it envelop them both, like the way cayden's shirt comfortably falls over his shoulders and well past his hips. he turns his head to face the night air as he takes another drag, ' i don't smoke inside. and i needed a shirt. '
alright last url change promise kodeveronica ➡ thereflections.
still in love with this aki i commissioned a hot minute ago

din’s speech patterns are a little Interesting - he doesn’t really refer to himself, as in doesn’t say “I” all that often… until meeting grogu
the way din involuntarily emulated some of the more prevalent members of his tribe bc of admiration and wanting to be strong like them
it’s also extremely interesting that he holds so much emotion in him but is often so monotone and dry in delivery/voice
no no but at the thing abt the speech patterns: din dedicates his life to the creed, and there is no “I” in it; only family. it’s not about him, it’s about the creed as a whole. it’s not until becoming a Clan of Two that those “I”s and “My”s start slipping through and he becomes more of an individual person than just a portion of a whole, while still maintaining and dedicating himself to his culture
i've taken a lot of liberties in regards to my portrayal of din, and one important detail in particular is he has garnered a reputation that precedes him, more akin to a myth than reality. a terrifying one. some question if he's even real.
the rumors began when he took on his first high-profile bounty. it was his seventh successful bounty. the target was a known rodian bounty hunter of many names. they never took a name for too long, never stayed in the same place for too long. they were especially known for their efficiency, able to track even the most impossible … until they eventually crossed the wrong people, stealing away with the riches of a recent kill and earning the ire of an entire village. many took on the challenge, and none succeeded.
they remained hidden for a year, taking refuge in a far-flung planet comprised only of water and mud. there was little in the way of living there, thus a perfect hideaway when a hunter got a little too close for comfort.
but the mandalorian didn't need to get close. he trailed the rodian, a tracker on his getaway ship.
when their nerves settled and they breathed easy was when he finally struck.
he brought the bounty puck the next day.
he returned the stolen riches to the village, and received a special surprise for his efforts: a slab of beskar. it was minuscule and very little could be done with it in terms of his benefit, but he would donate his earnings to his tribe and guarantee a future foundling their first piece of armor.
it was this tale that din djarin became more than a simple bounty hunter. everyone tucked their blasters a little closer to their chests, watched their surroundings more carefully. he was the mandalorian, and you didn't want him to be after you.
the tragedy of aki and cayden, @kodeveronica / art by @/tanimil
@starsacross should be due back any minute now. they're punctual like that. so when the doorknob does inevitably twist, she doesn't flinch. ada doesn't glance up from the file outspread in her hands as he walks in, of which she turns the page over. her posture yields into the leather of his — hers, now — chair, one leg draped over the other.

it was a shot in the dark, she knew. perusing hundreds of message boards, typing out the same message over and over again until her fingers cramped and the consequences of staring at a computer screen for hours without rest traveled to her temples.
there's a reason the leader of the order, @starsacross, eventually accepted her request for an interview. replying to one of her messages with little more than a date, time, and address. maybe enough mentions of terrasave and government connections (it wasn't a total lie, technically) got his attention.
she's ten minutes early. claire kills the engine of her beloved harley, foot stretching out to tap the kickstand. previous experiences, few as they are, have her expecting a wait. ten, twenty minutes past the designated time. if she's lucky. but she makes out something in the distance when she lifts the helmet from her head. a figure, partially hidden in shadow. watching her through an all-too-familiar mask. she's scoured through enough broadcasts to recognize it. she doesn't dismount just yet.
" you're him, right? " she calls out, setting the helmet in her lap. " the leader. "
the devil himself would struggle with you. from r!vergil @ claire
isn't he full of compliments? the kind that'd make anyone run for the hills if they knew what was good for them. it's the kind that makes claire smile, because she knows she's doing something right.
" oh, i gathered that — " because i'm looking right at him. it sits in her mouth. itching on her tongue to be set free. but she leaves the sentence unfinished, swallows it down, to join the mix of saliva they shared not an hour prior. it's not for his benefit, of course. claire'll make sure he doesn't get it twisted. — so she starts up a new one, instead, as her legs glide across messed sheets: " you should really work on your conversational skills. " her feet hit the carpeted floor none too gracefully. she bends at the waist, a hand plucking up her bra, her jeans, a sock; pieces of her clothes that are currently reachable.
" maybe whoever writes your speeches for you can help with that. "
