.... i cant cry dont make me cry
They never find his body; they suppose that was their first mistake.
Perhaps the next was assuming the one with the power of death and souls at his fingertips would remain dead.
Yiling longs to know whether their child, their patriarch, died that night.
Or if he simply slipped off into the night.
Either way, he still shows up.
Years later.
Changed.
A little smaller.
A little brighter.
Less haunted, less sad.
A white-clad enemy in tow.
Stoic, sensible, and irrevocably in love.
And the villagers think: "At last, our little Yiling boy, has a home and a family. No more cold nights, no more hunger, and no more dogs."
Now the threat of that family being ripped to shreds, is all but likely.
Safe, because of their reputation.
Because of their power.
Something Yiling wished the remnants had had, once upon a time.
oh god... the demon slaughtering cave... it was wwx's man cave...
Anyone read the Pokédex entries for Phantump?
Different media – different artstyle. I had a lot of fun exploring something new with this. The accompanying fanfic can be found here.
A Stirring among the dry Bones
Phantump was distressed. The child had only survived the massacre, because Zorua’s human had hidden it in a hollow tree, but without food nor water it wouldn’t be able to survive for long. It would die and possess the tree and then it would be just the same as Phantump. Phantump did not want that.
Pokédex Entry for Phantump: According to old tales, these Pokémon are stumps possessed by the spirits of children who died while lost in the forest.
A very sexy Yiling Patriarch 😄💖😙

I want to know the story of the burial mounds. How did this place of great resentment come to be? Is the war framing wwx's first life just one of many, does it even make the list of the worst?
A mass grave that everyone knows about, the land barren and abandoned -- how much effort was put into cleansing and at the cost of whom? Where are the families of those buried there, descendents that know of those restless, resentful spirits left to fester?
Every interpretation of what wwx was exposed to, what he learned and lost, what he did to survive there makes me so feral. 3 months in hell. He knew one person couldn't do all that the Yiling Laozu was accused of, the unconsenting object of the masses' need to construct a boogeyman. But I think he came out of the burial mounds knowing well what a systemic force of greed and violence could accomplish.
(All this related to some chaotic thoughts about wwx & his empathy being his key characteristic -- not just his genius. As much as he was stripped, homicidal, starved, feral coming out of the mounds, it is his fundamental ability to connect and relate that saves his spirit over and over. I'm obsessed with him 😭.)
