“ I am not dramatic. I’m very serious– ” He manages to almost look like this accusation surprises him and that the Scot has not hit the nail firmly on the head. His denial would almost sound almost convincing if his voice were not so high. He looks at the large man near doubled over beside him a little offended, first Finan and now him, could none of them let him live in peace ? “ This is proof– ” he gestures between them “ – You’re being dramatic and I am not. ”
𝐔𝐇𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐈𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐒𝐎𝐑𝐓 : the man who would do anything to be right at all times . it’s undeniable that he masters the skill , but if only because he is so stubborn . unfortunately douglas is of the same sort . 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐔𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐏𝐏𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐂𝐄 𝐌𝐄𝐄𝐓𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐈𝐌𝐌𝐎𝐕𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄 𝐎𝐁𝐉𝐄𝐂𝐓 . and the immovable object laughs in his face because it is too funny . for such seriousness is found only in the most dramatic of men .
❝ i’ve never seen a man so upset by the accusation of holding passion . that is where your dramatics come from , no ? or are y’really just a child ? ❞

which flower are you ?
orchid
You are stubborn and you know it. Self aware and hard to impress, you have a close circle of friends and like it that way. You are beautifully unique, with interests that span far and wide. Likely the dark horse of the family, you've always felt misunderstood. You are a creature of habit and avoid change if possible. You are a selfless and giving lover, seeing your partner as the light of your life. Those who are lucky enough to get to know you, would do anything to keep you within their lives. You are unapologetically yourself and value others who are the same. But sometimes, you miss out on opportunities due to your stubbornness and perhaps feel like life is passing you by. Don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone my love, everyone you encounter there will find you just as exquisite as you always hoped to be.

for reference, before i go to bed: douglas is a pict, or is at the very least pictish by heritage and both he and his mother adhere to a lot of the pictish cultures. however, growing up in a territory bordering on the gaels to the west, scots to the south, and scandinavians to the north, he was influenced often by travellers through the Pass of Drumochter most of his life he finds himself connected at least a little to everything. that said, the pictish culture and way of life began to fade out towards the start of the 10th century once the clans united to form the kingdom of scotland and the cultures were already very mixed by the time douglas was born.
#what im saying is u cant just look at him n go 'barbarian' bc he's not running around half naked covered in blue paint#that would be unrealistic in This Day and Age

𝐈𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐌𝐔𝐂𝐇 . just a small hut , simple and sparse . but it is ever welcome shelter against the weather and the hearth is warm . rainy mist halos in her hair as she shrugs off his thanks and makes a note to see to his horse properly , after she has seen to the man . stood tall , his height would tower over her , but she guides him rather brusquely in out of the cold and toward the fire all the same , sparing only a little thought to whether his yielded sword is all pretty gesture , or actual sense of honour . inside , herbs hang in bundles to dry and pots rest over flames , a welcoming soup already near done that should satisfy her guest .
❝ i’m kara . ❞ she moves with practised economy , thrusting a cup at him in a few quick turns . 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐖 𝐈𝐒 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐘 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐒𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐓 , 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐁𝐀𝐋 ��𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐌 . ❝ drink this . it’ll warm you . ❞ though he’s not given any indication of an ailment more serious than fatigue and cold , he could only be very fortunate or very skilled to escape unscathed whatever left the gore still clinging to the blade by her door . ❝ have you any injuries ? ❞
𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐓𝐇 𝐄𝐍𝐕𝐄𝐋𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐒 𝐇𝐈𝐌 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐀 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐃 . one he has so dearly missed and has been longing to greet once more . and yet , once guided to the fire , and sat upon the floor before it , it seems a villain to him . 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐓𝐇 𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊 𝐅𝐄𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 . it shows to him as he takes the mug forced into his hands that he shakes , stiff fingers loosening to reveal a quivering that he cannot control . 𝐓𝐄𝐄𝐓𝐇 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑 . he’s walked through colder weather , lived through worse , his own home positioned in the perfect place for the winds to pass through . every winter they would have to replace stones and fix damage in the roof . 𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐃 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐔𝐍𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 . this cold was the cold of fear .
❝ bruised , i believe . ❞ he answers as he curls both hands tightly around the heat that the brew offers . it might’ve scolded his palms if the skin were not already hardened from war . 𝐁𝐑𝐔𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐃 , 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐒 , 𝐈𝐍 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍 𝐎𝐍𝐄 . ❝ nothin’ that i won’t recover from . at least , i hope . ❞ the pains that linger on his body , all over , from head to toe ---- 𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐘𝐄𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐈𝐍𝐕𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐆𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐌 . he knows not the damage that has been done , but hope would have it that if his body could bring him here , it would at least survive the night . he lifts the mug to his lips and sips dangerously at liquid that scorches upon his lips and tongue and burns the back of his throat when he swallows . ❝ d’y’live on your own out here , kara ? seems a lonely way t’lead life , if so . ❞

i see many things ; life and death strung together like the mountains and valleys in which we live . there was wealth and opulance but also tribulation and loss , there was laughter and song and there was also tears . but even more than tears : blood was shed . so many were left to their unadorned graves , unburied .
and after all when i remember about those years , i mostly remember our songs . 𝐖𝐄 𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐒 𝐈𝐅 𝐓𝐎 𝐃𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐄 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒 . because war had lost it’s meaning .

@gedwimora asked: “you’ll be even worse off if you don’t let me bandage this.” | from Osferth
𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐁𝐄 𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐒𝐍𝐈𝐏𝐏𝐘 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐇𝐔𝐑𝐓 . with all of his life spent living in the harshest possible conditions , raised in forceful wind and unforgiving snow , farming unfarmable land and fighting undying foes , he’s not particularly adapt to showing weakness before anyone . 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐄𝐏𝐓 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 , 𝐌𝐀𝐘𝐁𝐄 , 𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐈𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 . she’s a long , long way away . running around with a band of idiots has downsides like this : 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐌 . the wound on his side won’t kill him . at least he doesn’t think so . but leaving it open to the elements just might . 𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐒 𝐀 𝐒𝐈𝐆𝐇 , it hurts when he does so , but he eventually gives in . leaning back against the wall of the barn they’ve occupied he casts osferth a look . a long and silent look as he works .
❝ what turned ye’ into a warrior , osferth ? y’dinnae seem like the fightin' type . ❞

@gedwimora asked: “ don’t be so dramatic. ” | from Uhtred
𝐇𝐄'𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐇𝐄'𝐒 𝐋𝐀𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐃 𝐈𝐍 𝐀 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐄 . it’s harsh , it’s loud , and above all else it’s abrasive . it even brings a tear to his eye , one he wipes away once the laughter comes to an end and wheezing breaths take over . 𝐈𝐓'𝐒 𝐅𝐔𝐍𝐍𝐘 , 𝐍𝐎 𝐃𝐎𝐔𝐁𝐓 . he’s never thought of himself as dramatic , just dedicated , and often quietly so . but for such an accusation to fall from uhtred’s lips of all people it what amuses him so .
❝ i’m dramatic ? aye , have y’taken a look at yersel’ lately ? ❞
