He wanted to die on purpose, and gave an ultimatum to Valdis (and Klaus) that you either fight the "rules" of the "game" (the literal universe) or he would cut you out of his life
He will still appreciate ribbon dance!!! He won't tell ari (probably!!!) That he can't see colors. I'll put the prompt up at the buffet when they get there lol
Ari is just going to be there for him, and she'll deal with it if he's not always polite etc because she knows he's hurting and she values him more than anyone
Ari is going to try to come in tactfully at some point with 'I don't agree with what she did but I'm personally glad you didn't die, the whole thing was horrible, can we just... stop with the torture?' Plus her secret reasoning that I'm saving for IC but she thinks will work
No, really, I’m intrigued by Nobunaga slowly escalating throughout the month to get to Valdis. But he’s really gonna have to lose it to actually get to her
The funny thing is Nobunaga is also like "ehhh things were moving faster than he's comfortable with. He was just getting used to the idea of us getting married, especially after the good week of no roommates so I'm sure he was looking for a way out."
Klaus wasn’t looking for a way out. He genuinely wanted to ask to get a room together and everything. But he didn’t want to be pushed out, so he left and he hates it
Oh no, there is no peace. Valdis might force a fight depending on what he does because clearly he needs an outlet for his anger and desire for violence
Ari should tell them that they need to stop because she cares about both of them but that is both too emotional to her to do even if she wants to, and unlikely to work given the reasons for the fight!
Yes he forgives her enough he's not writing her out of his life, but he's still like "I didn't have to get this drastic, and I wouldn't have if you didn't whip Revelations put on me and I didn't want to make Klaus cry so I was scared of dying and now I'm down to one friend and I told you I will make your life hell"
If you want, but then he will literally ignore her because she "isn't worth my notice" but it will be genuinely irreparable instead of "actually she can just throw him in the pool and tell him she's had enough he can stop hurting everyone around him now, yato doesn't deserve that"
I understand you are having a great time CC, but I am genuinely trying to figure out where they stand and what is happening because I’m feeling a little...attacked and out of the loop
I'm HEAVILY exaggerating the "torture" by using Nobunaga's terminology. It just means he'd be annoying and need a mental slap out of it. And he would lean on people close to her emotionally even though normally he would not, specifically because she could feel that
He wouldn't attack her directly and he would just be like "I don't waste my death like that" kind of annoyed (him not me!!!! I'd be amused!) Because she must think he's really careless with his life.
But yes he might eventually tell her about his panic about Revelations which was why Yato made him revert. Because he is truly upset about that. But as it is now they can fix it.
Although Nobunaga ironically would comfort her be like nahhhh you didn't understand what Yato and I were doing. Ari didn't see it, and skul can be talked to
ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴋʏ
: God he just loves her so much. Going to dote on her so much the next month she will either be like "Klaus take h7m back I can't take anymore" or get really really possessive lol
Aww. She was expecting a very bad reaction to what was essentially 'I'm taking command and we quit' at least in her own head lol. She gets very Tradeliner under that much pressure. She'll be so glad he's not mad at her!
I think if Klaus and Nobunaga do get back together Ari might up feeling slightly abandoned and jealous if Nobunaga's been doting on her in the meantime lol
Like I said, it would be a mess if they ever broke up because it would take a lot. Especially not to make Nobunaga literally crawl on hands and knees like "nooooo I miss youuuuu"
Yeah. It literally took a lot and it really was just Nobunaga triggering a trauma response in Klaus and Klaus reacting instead of recognizing it and telling Nobunaga to stfu
Klaus: Sure. I guess I did. I guess I do. I guess I don't know anything about anything. Guess all those positive thoughts and good things AND OUR WEDDING WERE FOR NOTHING
Oda: did I give you an order? Now what kind of order would you disobey? how curious. You'll disobey my orders knowing full well the consequence of my wrath, but not one of a game you never signed up for and with no consequences? I thought we agreed I was to handle your masochism. If you don't like this, there is a solution.
Klaus: I just think sometimes we don't always understand things and how they're supposed to play out and we don't have to fight EVERY choice. And it's not disobeying if I choose to make a different decision with the information given to me. >( You can't just expect people to do everything you say just cause you say it!
Oda: you were supposed to believe in me. I promised you. My God rejected me 3 times because I got scared if making you cry if I died. I don't fight every choice! But I do the impossible and that means doing things even if everyone says it's pointless, because maybe they're wrong! You chose them over me! I hope you can live with it.
Oda: don't do what you hate doing! Ask your friends to help you! And if you can't, ask a stranger, and at the bare minimum, fucking accept help when it's offered! Yato and I were ready to cut those rules down and the only problem was I didn't want to make you cry!
Oda: I mean... it's not like we explained it this is a problem he and I both have.... gods don't explain things, they just do them so the outcomes speak for themselves and maou are the same
Oda: /pokes two fingers together/ please help me and Yato ((to Klaus still)) even though he said we have to communicate. He meant me and him. He's the best God at meeting people because he actually does it but we're very bad at this OTL
Klaus like, "Well, maybe if you'd have told us what you were doing first...TRUSTED US with what you were doing first, we wouldn't have been so uncertain of wtf you were trying to do here"
Oda: ..... you think I didn't trust you enough. Yet you are the one who assumed the worst, wrongly, I'll add, and then didn't ask, or give me room to fix it like I promised I would. Do I understand that correctly?
Nobunaga: good. I'm so glad you have someone to kiss your head and strangle you into shutting up when you keep lying. I'll even bet you're just about ready to stop drinking even. A nice replacement to carry you around by the ties and throw you over a shoulder to keep you in line. But one thing. They will never be able to conquer the heights I've brought-
Klaus: ....Oh. I see so I’m nothing without you? So no one can love you like you love me? That’s your whole thing? And also I will drink myself to death if I want to. You can’t stop me.
Oda: =/ I'd say it is vice versa. I haven't removed my tattoo, it is my treasure, even though it would seem names are truly bad luck, I will keep at it until I change that. /ugh hugs his dumb Klaus, he can't heeeeeellllp it./ what have you done?
Nobunaga: I was never against him. I thought he was just like me. But with magic instead of guns. Although I do think he's a lot more of an idiot now. I mean, he didn't even try to fight the rules, or ask everyone for help in changing them. If I had to kill you I'd at LEAST try that first.
I meant the alcohol poisoning. Or are you just purposely defying me
Klaus: Well, Ava trusts Skulduggery. You saw the Captain the same as me when Skulduggery died. Or maybe you didn’t. And I can do what I want!! /just a quiet voice/ It just...I’m not strong and if being weak means I’m worthless, we’re not going to work.
Oda: /picks him up and swings him all around/ hey stupid. What I have told you about the lying voice in your head? I will crush it. /more spins!!!/ you are the strongest person I've ever known. Why do you think I fell in love with you in just a month? Why do you think I try so damn hard for you and let you hurt me? What do I have to do to crush this voice-
Oda: once for all???? You are strong. I love your strength. It makes me try to be stronger for you. I AM hurt because you didn't believe in me. I have never betrayed you... /sets Klaus down and buries his face in their neck/ and I want to be so strong you'll never cry again. Maybe I can't. But I do the impossible, right? So why can't you let me try????
Nobunaga: .... How have I never told you my plan? I even told Teyrey and she is nearly against it. We have the same goal, with the same methods. It was Skulduggery, before I met you who convinced me... not only is the Captain disturbingly all my worst traits- childish, unempathetic, sadistic, plotting without relying on others because they might interfere,
Distrusting, paranoid, violent, -_-' need I go on? But he told me that positive emotions work just as well as negative ones. It was Skulduggery who told me /holds fingers up/ we are how we're perceived, and to free everyone, mot just try to make them happy, like I first thought. =/ and it was I who told him my weakness is romance and purity. I cannot. --
Oda: now your turn, Klaus. You threw out the whole man, you didn't even try to find a loophole, you just passively decided the Captain knew better than me and that I didn't have a plan, even though I always, always do.
You threw me out too.
Not even for my worst side, all the violence, sadism, cruelty, or rage. Skulduggery had no recollection of anything-
Klaus: Okay. I see your point about the Captain. But! We have to make decisions together. Especially something that could possibly affect Skulduggery. I’ve been stressing communication. This whole time. And I...I thought you would throw me out.
Klaus: And you do deserve love. I meant it. I don’t see you as a monster. I see you as a flawed person. You have strengths and weaknesses like the rest of us. And you don’t listen sometimes and it drives me crazy. But I still love you despite it
Learn clocks
Practice throwing molotovs :V
And he will. Because Max is squishy
Oda: it's sadism turned inward
I mean... I gueeeeesss
Oda: the solution is-
I meant the alcohol poisoning. Or are you just purposely defying me
You threw me out too.
