selfimmolation: (and what do you think you'd understand)

[personal profile] selfimmolation 2023-11-09 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ yeah this is absolutely the loop because he leans into it and ace pets more with just the kind of soft fond happy feeling. sibling coded. etc. literally sibling coded because he's done this for like, luffy and uh a four year old ]

Yeah, Lillium had to reassure me he really was dead by the time they left him to the tigers. [ HE GOT. WORRIED. HE WAS EATEN ALIVE. exasperation feeling ] You should let him have it for lying, at least. He knows when he's being a shithead. I think he wants people to call him out?

[ the feeling there is ? exhaustion. he likes tem because he likes weird people, but. ]

It's one thing to not pick a fight with people for her sake, but you shouldn't hold back from being mad at all. [ ace chilled himself out a lot for luffy, so he understands why nico doesn't want to go around going bark bark!! at everybody tho ]
selfimmolation: (i wish that i knew)

[ hums because ace moved sigrun away from the fire for that reason, laid her to rest elsewhere, but ace wasn't trying to get away and it's hard to guess what other people were thinking. also, nico says we and ace kind of nudges him. you weren't there you rascal.

also you have no idea how like, pleased he feels at nico feeling safe, horrid ]


I dunno. I think Tem should've been honest with you after the trial, at least, but I don't think he does honest. Not really. [ there's no real judgment on either side there. ] Whatever it is, it shouldn't have been on you asking the right questions. Even if it's not a big deal, just airing it out might be good.

[ there's some like. self-deprecation: ]

But I'm the kind of guy who'd yell at anyone over their decisions, so maybe I'm not the right one to ask. I got into plenty of arguments with Pops. [ grief/guilt/love briefly, there, just at that mention ]
selfimmolation: ('cause i think you're so good)

[personal profile] selfimmolation 2023-11-09 08:39 am (UTC)(link)
That's why I'm saying you should call him out. [ ace is also not into mindgames, but it's because he is kind of a blunt guy himself. anyway hugs and pets for the grumpy boy, but nico's feeling wistful about hades and ace is still a little jii about the guy from nico's flashbacks, though it's just a blip of Hrm feelings ]

Maybe it is normal. Maybe your dad is kind of an ass. [ so he makes the joke but he is teasing about it instead of 100% angy ] I've spent most of my life being called a brat even after adulthood, maybe don't follow my lead on these things.

[ fuckin old people ]
selfimmolation: (or a moment that's held in your arms)

[personal profile] selfimmolation 2023-11-09 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ YEAH ABOUT THAT there's kind of guilt and worry and he sort of noogies nico gently ]

Yeah, you could've told me about that! [ HE ALREADY DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE WILL HEAL HIM WHY WOULDN'T YOU TELL HIM. he's not actually mad and he gets why he wasn't but. goddamn. this was a thing to Learn.

he does not say anything about the brat thing because he does have strong opinions and he is absolutely terrible but it's fine and 10 year old ace exists in all our hearts even if the post doesn't ]
selfimmolation: (i could even learn)

[personal profile] selfimmolation 2023-11-09 09:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ dw hates us all... baby ace...

things had happened make ace kind of wince and nod in guilt because ok, fair. he did do that. he did drown in front of god and everyone. and he goes back to petting while nico talks because he was not real mad though he is still Concern about it ]


I dunno about your side, but no one who died seemed to. We were all pretty confused what was going on. [ and concerned. did i mention concern. he's kind of like ? at when the fuck temenos learned this but doesn't ask ] Well, I already called Will out on worrying me, so I guess I can't shake him on this one too. He doesn't have that at home, right?
selfimmolation: (i could even learn)

[personal profile] selfimmolation 2023-11-09 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ i mean. he knew about saya jumping in after him. he does not need to know more though nico's absolutely right.

ace keeps up the pets and just kind of listens to nico's summary of events, the vibes mostly concerned and a little sad they dealt with it themselves. this is hypocritical if ace had somethin like that he never woulda told anyone. no one needs to know that ]


This place really went all out on you guys and your powers, huh? [ turning will's against him and shoving nico into unfunny trauma powers. they're still good, but now the powers are psychologically unsound. there's a vague flare of annoyance about it. ] You both did a pretty good job hiding it and dealing with it, but it probably would've been easier if more people knew. Well, not that it matters now. [ he's not going to keep harping on that, because it happened and it's over, and they can't exactly undo not telling people. nico can box will about it ] At least now he can probably take out all his future aggressions on the moon guy.

[ so it won't be a problem until the end, ace means. ]

No wonder you were always so stressed out about him healing, though. I just thought you didn't want him to exhaust himself. He was pretty bad about that too.

[ #shaming ]

You did a pretty good job taking care of him, considering no one had any idea. [ pet pets. ] ... You've got a couple more days, and then you guys will be back to normal. Then you two can finally take that vacation you were going to.

[ and they don't have to burn themself out and they can take a nap, is basically the emotion there ]
selfimmolation: (i could even learn)

[personal profile] selfimmolation 2023-11-10 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
I know you wouldn't.

[ though talking about visiting there's a bit of relief because he does want that even if he has. no idea. how to go about moving between worlds. but also just... anxiousness. ]

Take that break first. I've... got some things to figure out before I can get visitors. [ just that sense of disbelief of. even. probably being around to have visitors. BEEN A WILD DAy ]
selfimmolation: (i sometimes wish)

[personal profile] selfimmolation 2023-11-10 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ soft affection at the head bonk ]

... I'll have to find him first. [ hesitant, with that kind of feeling like you think you are being dumb worrying about stuff ] I don't know what's waiting for me there.

[ he knows what isn't, which is its own set of grief and guilt, but the anxiety is truly because he has no idea what the fuck is happening to the world in this one week where he is dead but maybe his body is missing? god. weird to think about. ]
selfimmolation: (thunderbolt and lightning)

[personal profile] selfimmolation 2023-11-10 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ REFLEXIVELY, the feeling is offended ]

No. [ frowning. frowning more. the offense kind of fades into something a little tired and guilty and anxious again, and it annoys himself ] Maybe.

[ scrubs at his face ]

I never really let myself think about what happened after I died. It didn't matter, since I was never going to see it. And now... everything involving that will be long over by the time we get there. And that's-- maybe that's the only way I get to go home at all [ to be alive ], so it's stupid to even worry about it. Better than the alternative, right? But...

[ grief and worry and guilt again ]

They went to war because of me. And I won't know what's happened to any of them until I get hold of a stupid newspaper.

[personal profile] selfimmolation 2023-11-11 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ there's a kind of exhausted feeling, like, is it survivor's guilt if he never survived at all? but also he just feels incredibly uncomfortable making nico play therapist (he doesn't know what a therapist is) and try to put him at ease ]

Your dad forcing her back would've been a real dick move. [ blunt. that's more important than thinking about his thing, which is. not helped by talking about it. ] There's no might. I saw for a couple of them.

[ he sort of sighs ]

It's fine. It's not like I can do anything about it right now anyway.
selfimmolation: (you'll never settle any of your scores)

[personal profile] selfimmolation 2023-11-11 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ pooookes nico's forehead. the sentiment is wry ]

Yeah. I know. But you've got enough going on without adding that to your plate when there's nothing to do about it anyway. [ ace does think he is being stupid. it does not stop him from worrying and feeling sad and guilty and anxious, because that is not how that works. there's a bit of a pause before he admits: ] I want to go home. But a lot of it is gone because of me. There's not really a solution to that.
selfimmolation: (instead i made a bed with apathy)

[personal profile] selfimmolation 2023-11-11 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ the emotion is just restless because he hates talking about his feelings thank you. though also something a little sad and tired but resilient ]

I dunno. Depends on what's left, I guess. [ who. he doesn't know, but-- ] Nothing I can do but keep going forward. It's happened now.
