Aftermath of aq

Cyno oversees the project for education in Aaru Village alongside Setaria, who he works for as a bodyguard

Cyno sq 1 (unspecified time, possibly during the events of the aq)

The Court of Desolation is presented as an allegory for forbidden knowledge, as regardless of its authenticity people still give up their lives (figuratively and literally) for it, which justifies the role of the matra in the region so they can protect those who attempt the forbidden

Taj gives up his life to seal the Court under the sands

Cyno asks him to say hi to his son (but doesn't say goodbye in the original Chinese dialogue)

Cyno expresses his grief through the desire to plant flowers that can withstand the desert whether in Taj's grave, which is kept secret to the public

Parade of Providence

The temple detain Cyrus and offer an exchange for Cyno's ba fragment, which Cyrus opposes

Tighnari reminds Cyno he earned his fragment

Tighnari proposes to find a resolution through the ancient Rite of Duels

Cyno fights Sethos and wins, Sethos gives up his fragment

Cyno appoints Sethos as the leader of the Temple of Silence, since his place is in the Akademiya

The Akademiya and the Temple of Silence begin cooperation again, as per the leader's plans

remember,

you are a writer.

say it. say it in your head, say it out loud, say it to yourself as many times as you need to say it.

you are a writer.

and it doesn't matter when you started, or where you skills and style lie in this literary world. what matters is that you are a writer and you're sharing your works. sending out real works to publications, literary journals, etc. is scary and rejection is normal. and yet you're here, on tumblr, on ao3, writing works because you can.

and you know what, you're reaching an audience who looks forward to your works and that's something to be proud of. whether it's a few people who read your works, to hundreds, to thousands, you're reaching an audience and you should be proud of that!!

there are times when writing gets hard and giving up feels so easy, but what's so admirable about everyone here is that we keep going. we take breaks and read other people's works, we take hiatuses to focus on ourselves and come back with new ideas and even more writing. and even if you decide that perhaps writing fanfiction isn't your forte anymore, that's okay. you wrote because you could and you did.

you are a writer. and that's something to be very proud of.
