Ymir Koska's Links
She's my sister, my best friend-I would NEVER give up on her, ever. It was my fault they were left behind, so... I have to do everything I can to make up for what they went through. Hilda deserves that. I will never let anyone hurt her again-I can't imagine living the way I did before, without her there. Even when they hated me, it was better than never hearing their voice at all. The world is better with Hilda here. It's fun to act like an annoyed sibling, but I would never truly want her to change-not her jokes, not her cat ways, not her sarcasm, nothing.
I used to hate him. I blamed Ymir and Sky both for me being left behind, unable to escape the prison our kidnappers made for us, and it became blinding rage. I thought: how could he do that? Had he ever cared? What right did they have to find a new family and throw me away? I wanted them to suffer as I had. So fucking stupid... I lost so much of what little time we had left because of that. My brother died too young, and nothing in my life has hurt more. I'd give anything to hear his voice one more time.
When I think of how my dad died trying to rescue me, it doesn't feel real. It's like I'm telling some other kid's story. I'm just an intruder in a family with normal kids, with normal parents, even though I know my dads were far from regular people. If I could go back and make it where I was raised by them, would I? Would I give up on Sky, on David and Hal, everyone? The thought of saying either yes or no makes me feel so guilty.
He's my little boy, and that will always be true no matter what. His abduction is my greatest regret, alongside my failure to rescue him-but I would die for him again in a heartbeat. I'm so grateful to have been able to see them after my death, and to know they were reunited with their sister. If only those damned experiments hadn't condemned them to an early death... I stayed at his side through it all. Nobody could ever have stopped me from easing his suffering and confusion as he passed on.
My dad... well, one of them. I never know what to feel with him. He doesn't show up nearly as much as my other dad, and I never had pieces of his life either. I want to love and cherish him, and I think in some way, I do. But there's this distance I can't seem to cross.
I knew him for a brief moment in time, as Avery, my dearly loved child. I made the choice that separated us for so long, and for that, I can never be forgiven. I love you, Ymir. I'm truly sorry the time you should have had in life was taken from you.
Mari is very cool, but sometimes she scares me...
You're very silly, Ymir. But I think it's a fun trait to have.
Hyperopia, THAT was a name I could've gone without ever hearing again. I'm not gonna forgive them for hurting Sky, but I guess them helping the other experiment kids wins points in their favor. We'll do our own thing far away from each other.
Impulsive, loud, and not subtle at all. That's Ymir. In our compound days, I never liked him-he was too close with Sky, too close to the flock. I know they still do not trust me. Perhaps that's for the best. I don't think our personalities will ever mix well.
Sky has and will always be one of Ymir's best friends, no matter what happens or how many years pass. He would die for their sake if needed, that's how much he loves them. There was never any hesitation about returning for Sky on the day the compound was destroyed. Ymir could not imagine life without his closest companion in it. They understand Sky's personality well, and they don't begrudge the other their quirks and habits. He knows when to give them a nudge and a kind word, or when to give them space. In Ymir's final years, one of his main terrors is the idea of no longer seeing Sky, and of them no longer having him around either.
One of their closest friends and confidantes throughout their life. Even though he is the better fighter, they are fiercely protective of him.
At the compound, he was one of the few who could get them to smile. His eagerness to get to know them when they were first introduced helped break through the walls they had developed due to the isolation they felt when kept amongst The Flock.
//insert joke about him dodging their attempts to use a rocket launcher and failing horribly.
They carefully do not tell him their plan to stay in the compound when they convince Snake to help them destroy it. All they told them was that the place was gonna blow and he needed to gtfo once all eyes were on the mech.
He came back for them despite everything, and that fact almost broke them. They thought he was gonna escape with the rest of their friends.
They curse the fact that they didn't get nearly enough time in freedom before the experimentation finally catches up to him and kills him. His death brings up a lot of old feelings of despair and old habits in terms of dealing with it.
