HE IS!! I mean, there’s even a new emote of him dashing off with the meal in hand for the collab… They should have also let him carry fried chicken in his mouth like the shoujo protag that he is tsk lol
And of course, Haitham being Haitham, he’d subvert the usual convention by being off-duty/leaving work presumably to go home (instead of being late for school/work) as shown in the text below XD
A bit sad Wanderer isn’t in the group shot, but then again, it is almost characteristic of him to be extra standoffish and tsundere about not joining any group celebrations until he’s cajoled into it by Sethos post-event. Still, this is such a wonderful photo… I know I yell about it a lot but I really love and have missed the Sumeru fam :___)
Kaveh and Alhaitham can’t ever hold hands in public but they can almost, almost brush their knees together just imperceptibly so in the spirit of those vintage queer gay photoshoots lol.
Kaveh always wears his heart on his sleeve, so his beaming smile is almost a given (but no less delightful), and Alhaitham’s microscope, blink-and-you’ll-miss Mona Lisa smile is always such a treasured sight to behold…. my kvthm heart is HEALED……….. :“)

was tagged by @soymilkheaven (sorry, I didn’t notice it till now dumblr notifs fail but thanks for the tag!). also, I didn’t want to reblog the meme since it got really long, and I like to keep this blog less cluttered for easier browsing. so I’ll just copy-paste it here lol.
THE
RULE: Post the last sentence you wrote (fanfic/original/anything!) and
tag as many people as there are words in the sentence:
There was a grisly crunch—the creature tightened its grip around him and Sorey retched, dust burning through his lungs as he struggled to break free.
….LMAO there’s nooo way I can think of 26 people. um, @kixboxer@sirbartonslady annnnd @andthensomelion ? well, consider yourself tagged if you see this. feel free to do it or ignore as you please lol.
*rubs hands together in anticipation*
there are 2 kinds of people/reaction to just that one line l o l….
!! I never knew AmaLee did a cover of this song AAAHHHHH IT’S SO LOVELY. now my latent Escaflowne feels are coming back and I blame you! I want to re-watch this movie just for the aesthetic/visual and musical art piece that it is.
Also, I was trying to get back into writing with dialogue practice last night. All I got is Artorius doing his dumb bird metaphor with Sorey and Mikleo, and…
Artorius:
Why do you think birds fly?
Sorey:
Well, that’s because all animals have to adapt to their environment to survive,
right? And many birds are just built for flight – they have wings,
streamlined bodies, feathers, and even hollow bones! These are all designs that
naturally allow birds to soar high above in the skies.
Artorius:
Uh–
Mikleo:
Right. And it isn’t just for survival either; some birds are predators and
flying helps them hunt prey more efficiently.
Artorius:
No, that’s not what I mean–
Sorey:
Yeah! It’s also sort of a misconception to say all birds can fly. They might
look like they’re built for it, but some birds – like pengyons – can’t fly at
all, but are good at catching prey in the water.
Mikleo:
Indeed. So, I think the question we should be asking is: why do birds even have
wings? What first made them evolve and develop these wings so that they could
take flight or swim better in water?
Sorey:
Birds are amazing, aren’t they Mikleo? I’d rather be a bat though. Bats can fly
and use sonar to find their way in the dark – that’s like, double
cool!
Mikleo:
Of course you would. You’re the weird one here, after all.
Sorey:
Hey, birds of a feather flock together….
Artorius:
Can you two nerds stop ruining my metaphor already?
This has to be turned into an actual skit!
sadly we didn’t get an similar comedy skit like this for tob/toz crossovers, not even in the Velvet event JP TORays (I think). BUUUT I did re-write the scene into a fic here (and on AO3) if you’re interested in giving it read!
Series: Tales of Zestiria Rating: T Genre: AU. Post-apocalyptic, Science Fiction, Cyberpunk/Dieselpunk. Character(s): Mikleo, Sorey, Atakk. Brief mentions of Michael, Muse and Zenrus. Warnings: Character death, mentions of terminal illness, nonsense sci-fi medical procedures and terminology. Summary:
Mikleo refused to vocalize it, of course—Sorey doesn’t need to know of
it, never needs to—but even he had to admit there was an amorphous
beauty to them.
A/N: So I’ve been seeing this post
going around tumblr about using words like “smaragdine” in fic. And what
started out as a joke conversation with Namio/Bagel on twitter turned into something more. Also, Buckminsterfullurene
is not a made-up term. They are actually the smallest molecule of
carbon shaped like a hollow hexagonal sphere, like a football (that’s
why they’re also called ‘buckyballs’) except nano-sized.
Mikleo refused to vocalize it, of course—Sorey doesn’t need to know
of it, never needs to—but even he had to admit there was an amorphous
beauty to them. If he was allowed to observe them up-close and for longer, he
would marvel at that perfect formation of fused-rings, structured and welded
together into a tight crystalline sphere, their colour the verdant green of
lush forests, of unearthed emeralds hidden in sunken pirate hoards.
Or like smaragdine Buckminsterfullerenes.
Mikleo frowned, and then mentally shuddered, adjusting his glasses over
the bridge of his nose with a delicate finger. The corner of his lips crinkled
into a crooked smile as he fingered the brass locket around his neck, feeling
the blunt edges of the hexagonal sphere. Now that was a terrible way to
describe anyone’s eyes, though he suspected Sorey would have found it cool
anyway, because, Mikleo, look! This author knows about buckyballs too!
Think they know anything else about other nanoparticles?
Maybe, he would’ve replied with a frown and a huff, though probably not
as much as their proclivity for waxing lyrical with, uh, less than palatable
prose.
also also, last half-salty, half-amused post I swear BUT
IM STILL LAUGHING AT THE FLYING WATER KAMUI IN THE END because I’d tweeted this nonsense before the finale aired:
Sorey and Mikleo finally fulfilled their birb dreams and ascended to the skies above LMAO ADKJFKHGSKJGGS
@laindir SORRY FOR REBLOGGING THIS AGAIN TUNACHAR…
But I got frustrated again after catching up with S2 and so decided to reread fics to soothe my irritation and to remember happier things. I had yours saved on my tablet and I can’t believe I almost forgot about this!
You also wrote SorMik FLYING INTO THE SKY WHAT THE HELL?
You predicted the ending scene ONE YEAR AGO WHAT THE HELL??
Why didn’t ufo hire you to write for S2 instead?! lawlll
adfjskfgjkgjs didn’t I tell you that S2 wasn’t worth all the ridiculous canon lore decimation+mischaracterization and salt?? you should have listened to me LOL. also, zest twit fam has been yelling at me about this fic too, when I’d mentioned it a few days back. but HEY EXCUSE YOU, my scene was perfectly acceptable and made more sense - Sorey and Mikleo at least didn’t defy both logic and physics to go gliding! ufo just likes being overly dramatic.
also also, what’s the point of having a predictive ability that I have no control over IT’S LIKE THE REAPER’S CURSE….
Do the seraphim and squires bonded to Sorey also have the power to purify hellions, or is it something that only Sorey can do?
The Prime Lord/Lailah is actually the one who is granted the power of purification through her Oath. Sorey as the Shepherd and through his pact with her is therefore able to wield it (it seems that Lailah cannot use this power by herself alone to purify hellions if she’s not bound to a Shepherd - the game states this in the scene before Sorey pulls out the Sacred Blade). So yes, her Sub Lords are able to borrow some of her power to purify hellions as well, and same goes for the Squires who make a pact with her and Sorey.
Lailah: DON’T EXPLAIN THE PUN YOU’E JUST MAKING IT WORSE.
Edna: My perfect snarky, salty daughter.
Alisha: Bless your pure soul for existing.
Sorey’s tolerant ^_^ expression and Mikleo’s bitchface o_____o expression are both priceless
Mikleo’s resting bitchface cracks me up all the time; it’s as if game developers looked at the
(눈_눈) kaomoji and decided to model that expression onto his face whenever he’s 100% done with things. lmao.
