Seemed like his reassurance wasn’t enough for Lunarre. With the other’s comment a frown did appear on his face before he was given a good hit to the jaw, causing everything to go dark for him before hitting the ground.

Everything was a haze after that. But one thing was certain, he was being moved to a different location. Over the course of time Kimuri struggled to regain consciousness, letting a low groan leave him as he tried to make out just what was going on now.

“….what….?”

Lunarre heard the seraph’s groggy mutter and cursed. They weren’t out of the woods yet - figuratively and literally. Malevolence still clogged the air, though the heaviness had lessened considerably. Lunarre couldn’t take a chance. Further. Just a bit further.

He had a hill beyond the woods in his sights. Perhaps there they could breathe easier.

“We’re almost there, gramps,” he said. “Don’t do anything stupid.”

detailed writer prompts

what sociocultural factors of your own life do you think influenced your choice of character and how you play them?

what is more important to you, narrative or style? if so, why, and how do you think you portray that in your writing?

what iconography (symbols/images/motifs/etc.) do you associate with your character and why? how do you portray this in your writing? 

without using your fc, describe your character physically - not just looks but also movement, posture, etc. 

do you think your chosen fc could play your character the way you write them? if not, what changes do you think would have to be made? 

let’s say someone else was going to write your character - what are the main points of their personality that you would tell the other writer to focus on? what about outside of that? images/symbols/moments in their life/etc. 

what sort of medium do you think your character is best suited for (literature/film/graphic novel/etc.) ? if they are a canon, do you think there’s a medium that fits the character better than their current one?

what writers influenced the way that you yourself write? how so? are there any that influenced you negatively? 

when you see a partner’s response to a thread, what are common misconceptions/assumptions you see other characters making about yours? is that purposeful? 

how do you think your character fits into your view of society? do you see them as a social critique? a celebration of certain societal values? 

what mythic deity do you think best embodies the core values of your character? how so? 

what is your character’s ideology? what beliefs and values are most important to them and how do they impact their decision making? 

how has your character’s socioeconomic background influenced their ideology?

do you see your character/their narrative as allegorical? if so, how do you attempt to portray this through your threads? if not, do you think that the lack of allegorical symbolism says anything about their metaphorical meaning? 

for canons: do you think your character is a foil for another character? how so? 

for ocs: what does your character metaphorically represent to you? what is their symbolic value as it pertains to you as a writer?

You can delete this if it's too strange, but I suffer from depression and recently thoughts of suicide have made a nasty come back, I've been crying for 3 days and while I won't act on the thoughts they are there. I know Lunarre isn't exactly known for kindness, but could I have some encouraging words from him? I love him and it would make my day. I'm sorry if this is weird and dumb please delete it if you don't like it.

“The mind’s a wicked thing, isn’t it? It plays tricks, twists things, makes you see the world as a dark and evil place. A bit of good old anger, sadness and so on is good - healthy, but take it from me that if you keep it in, it grows and does more harm than good. 

That’s when you need others to help you see things as they are, not what the bad thoughts say they are. It’s tough, and more often than not you might think it’s better keepin’ it all in, but take it from me in the end even the people you wanted to protect by keeping quiet get hurt, because they love you and want more than anything for you to be happy. Family and friends would happily take on your troubles to help you see ‘em packing. When you all pull together, that’s when the magic happens. Corny, yes, but true. 

I was all alone, I only had pain and anger for comfort at night. I thought it made me stronger, I thought that’s what I really wanted from my life. But it was only after gaining that power that I realised I’d robbed myself of the thing that gave my soul peace - a family. I was so afraid of screwing up and lettin’ the boss and the others down, I kept it all to myself, and when it all got too much, I... well, I let the feelings consume me. 

All that time I could have talked to somebody, told ‘em how I felt, got them to understand, but I didn’t. I shut myself away, and then I ran away. For a time I thought I was satisfied with the power I got, but as I said the feelings that had caused me to become that creature did nothing to heal the pain. Being apart from others and stewing on them, finding crazy ways to forget it, only increased the ache of the loss of the thing I wanted most.

I got that back from other people - watching them all struggle against the odds, all bandin’ together, helpin’ one another, I felt hope I hadn’t felt in a long time. I felt I could still kick the asses of the demons that I thought had beaten me. They helped me realise what I was missing - companionship and purpose. Helpin’ Sorey and the others gave me purpose, and being around them made me remember how good it felt to be around other people. It’s wonderful to know there are others who are there for you and who’d do anything for you.

That’s why you can’t hide yourself away with those thoughts and those feelings. It’s times like these where the people you love need you just as much as you need them. You can band together and kick the butt of those thoughts. They can give you perspectives and options you might not have even thought were available to you. That way, no matter how many talks or tears it takes, you can breathe easier, you can feel a little lighter each time, and get back the strength you need to give those thoughts the what-for.

Because if I’m anything to go by, anybody can do it. The strength’s inside you, and no matter what life throws your way, you can throw everything you’ve got right back at it. Visualising that helps some - visualize kickin’ the shit out the depressive thoughts, crumpling them all up like pieces of paper and throwing them in the garbage. It helps get the confidence going, and that’s just one step you can take. One of many. You can do it!

Sometimes you need the help and support of others, and there’s never any shame in that. As long as you are happier for it, it was all worthwhile.

That’s all from me for now - hope I’ve said some things and given you some peace of mind. Don’t worry, and don’t be afraid to ask for help - be that from me or others. Your happiness matters - your life too.”

This scene bothers me for a number of reasons, but this line really clinches it. 

Rose loves to go on about how much research she does on the people she’s contracted to take out. By that we can presume she did her homework on Alisha and her skill as a fighter. Rose knew she would have guards, so she brought more guild members to tackle them while others take on Alisha. All fine so far, but then...

Why the hell did she have Lunarre take on Alisha (alone) instead of herself, like she does later, knowing he is no match for her? She would surely have known in advance that Lunarre’s skills were not up to scratch like hers in order to fight the princess and beat her? Unless Lunarre threw himself in there against her orders - though there’s no evidence to suggest this happened - what was he doing?

He was clearly having trouble even when the fight starts, which goes to show he was not the man for the job. No, Rose doesn’t exactly finish it later, but she at least is in control and doesn’t get beat down like Lunarre does here. She is much more of a threat than Lunarre is, that’s for sure. Yet for reasons I can either put down to DUH PLOT or Rose’s fuck up, Lunarre is thrown into the front lines and given a job he’s not ready for.

While we’re on the subject, why did she not back him up - why didn’t the others back him up? They all leave him completely alone at Alisha’s mercy. Rose even asks why she didn’t kill Lunarre when she had the chance. UM? 

Oh, and telling him he’s no match just adds insult to injury, doesn’t it? We can only assume this isn’t the first time Rose has said something along these lines to him, otherwise him turning into a hellion just because of one comment would just reek of pettiness, not to mention stupidity.

It would seem that Rose’s capacity for tactlessness caused one of her own comrades to become a hellion. (Again). Hooray!

The kicker? She never mentions him again. She never mentions him, never goes looking for him, doesn’t seem to give a shit that one of her own turned into a hellion before her eyes (she noticed!). 

So much for ‘family’!
