‘ owww... ‘

          it’s a quiet complaint, softly slurred... and not truly to be taken seriously, considering how, at the same time, he’s trying to keep back his giggling --- and failing. and it’s not really pain in itself, though it ought to be... because, exactly, the hot mess he’s made out of his pain killers’ prescription is currently not only making him feel as though floating in a white cloud above, but also numbing the result of his brilliant encounter with the door, an hour or so ago. which, no doubt, will come around to bite him hard on his fine arse in the morning --- a fierce reddish-purpleish bruise surrounding his right eye, which has gone unattended for the sake of rushing to ER and cater to a potential-but-actually-not concussion, and, as a result, had all the time in the world to swell to the point where Jon is quite struggling to keep it open now. mostly numb, yes, though still so very tender that, when Theon presses the ice bag on it, that’s when he WHINES and very childishly tries to avoid it by snuggling into his boyfriend instead; again, comically failing, considering he’s currently loopy enough to have completely forgotten about the broken, very clumsy arm in between both bodies. it’s just not your day, is it Jon? though, at the very least, he can and will try to lean in for a kiss.

send ‘pain is weakness leaving the body’ for a randomly generated outcome (alternatively, send it + reversed) // accepting 1. Daenerys finds Jon with a broken arm, ft. @zcldrizes

          if he believed in a god above, he might now pray this is the right door he’s knocking at --- since he doesn’t, wishful thinking will have to do. not that Jon has ever been talented at HOPE, clearly more one to believe in Murphy’s Law and in being the one to throw shit at the fan before somebody else can do it in his stead... and isn’t this, precisely, the mindset that has landed him in the swamp of quicksand where he currently is? almost literally so, considering the struggle that it is at the moment to keep himself steady on his feet, and who would have guessed that an entire bottle of vodka plus an arm that will remain USELESS at least for one month longer do not make for a good combination, in many aspects but, first and foremost, when it comes to body balance. and his poor bike, half-wrecked after that nothing-short-of spectacular crash (at least there’s that, go big or go home), is yet another cause for grievance --- but, at the moment, the priority is this door.

          a door that he is about to pound on again, actually so far gone in his inebriation that he doesn’t consider the obvious fact that door bells do exist in 2019 --- a door that suddenly opens and, thank fuck, it is her. it is her new apartment or, at least, she is here right now... and his gaze quickly falls on her belly, squinting at the obvious swell he can see under her dress --- of course, what else to expect? the issue was never how babies are made, for that’s a lesson he’s learned far too sooner than any child ought to, rather WHO helped making this one --- again, knowledge (acceptance? courage? basic human decency?) that he could find only at the bottom of a bottle of the strongest liquor, but better late than never... right? which doesn’t mean he expects to be welcomed with open arms, even completely wasted that he is, nor that she’ll act as though nothing ever happened some three or four months ago --- yet, since he’s here, might as well see it through to the end. pursing his lips sheepishly then, in that characteristic expression of A LITTLE KID who broke the mother’s favorite vase and now comes to apologize, he braces himself on the door frame with the good arm and for a bit more of momentary support. literally and metaphorically so.

‘ ...hey. wasn’t easy t’ find you at all. ‘

--- @wolfqueennamedstark ---

          he doesn’t hear it the first time, admittedly --- so distracted by the lady on his lap, the gorgeous guitar he could coddle and fondle all day and night long, that it takes Sansa poking at him with a foot to get his attention. not his fault, because little Lana has taken to only fall asleep when he plays for her, so it’s ever the best and most convenient of excuses to practice; can’t do the dishes, too busy playing for the baby. which is why he finally looks back up with such a nonchalant expression --- though, to be fair, it’s a sentiment common to find on Jon’s face.

‘ you’re askin’ me? you know i don’t even like that shit. ‘

          not a lie, as he much prefers tastes far more BITTER and with far more potential to have you begging for your death in the next morning. nonetheless, he has sympathy for his poor sister’s struggle ---nobody deserves the disappointment that is to unexpectedly run out of booze--- and isn’t about ready to fail her. on the other hand, given her whining and the way in which she just practically SLUMPED over on the couch by his side, empty bottle in hand and cute pouty expression, he has to wonder if the reason for the wine to be gone isn’t the most obvious of all. hence, not holding back his laughter as he blows out the cigarette smoke before leaving a kiss on her temple.

‘ though isn’t it gone ‘cause you just chugged down all of it, silly? ‘

What would modern Jon think while watching Game of Thrones? Just as him being a person living in our world and being a normal viewer or not.

— @brycecousland —

          honestly — canon!Jon and modern!Jon are absolutely non-compatible. they’re polar opposites in almost everything, and each embodies most of what the other hates with a passion. therefore, while watching the show, modern!Jon would disown canon!Jon from the very first moment — and all the more when one of Jon’s first scenes is with Cat, and to modern!Jon his relationship with his stepmother is a wreck. as for the show in general… well it’s got dragons and it’s got free graphic porn, so this much he can appreciate. and his favorite character would probably be Bronn, so let me tag @thesellsword for reasons.

[killthebxy]

WHICH PLANET MATCHES YOUR MUSE’S PERSONALITY?

canon verse(s): Mars

          as someone who embodies the energies of Mars, you are dynamic, expressive, and rarely shy away from conflict. you'd rather say what’s on your mind than waste time simmering, because you are a person of action, not rumination. if someone were to challenge you, however, it would be like waging war on a tempest — ill-advised and completely futile.

modern verse: Uranus

          your greatest strength is your ability to adapt, and you reject any and all labels pressed upon you. what others read as eccentricity is your uncanny ability to see what others cannot see, and act as others dare not act. occasionally, this love of freedom and distaste for attachment can lead you to push people away, but when you find others who understand you — truly understand you — your coalition could tilt the whole world on its axis.

In honor of Easter, Jon is served a chocolate rabbit, jellybeans, and chocolate eggs.

          i am deflecting this towards modern verse, nonnie, considering Westeros has no clue who Jesus is and the closest thing to a man returning from the dead being worthy of celebration falls on Jon himself and/or Beric Dondarrion. so:

          that she’s one of the very few that make this shit life worth living, he has known for a good while now. still… for her to come and save him from the most boring day at work ever, to the point where one can almost fall asleep while standing up, this is a new check mark on the list of her many merits (not all of them for the best reasons, but hey — who’s he to judge). his only regret is that the bitch of a boss isn’t around to watch and be outraged by it… but, then again, keeping his job might not be a bad idea, either. it doesn’t matter anyway.

          the only thing that currently matters is her flawlessly sculpted body in his arms, and her own arms around his neck, and their mouths on fire on each other, and THE URGE at the pit of his stomach to just bend her over this counter and take her right here and now. again, the café is as empty as empty can be today, and no clients to bust their balls… namely, his own. and whereas he also wishes to question her motives to be this wasted already when it’s not even noon, hands wander and find that fine arse of hers, and he brings her even closer so that now their chests are glued together and his lips can claim the crease of her neck.

send ‘pain is weakness leaving the body’ for a randomly generated outcome (alternatively, send it + reversed) // accepting 17. Taylor finds Jon out in the cold without warm clothes, ft. @undeciided

          perhaps her biggest mistake ever was to give him her address; isn’t this what parents tell to their kids, to never go along with strangers? ironically, not only was that the manner in which the two of them met ---as, indeed, complete and unlikely strangers---, but such strictness and such uneventful life within a golden cage turned out to be the main force leading Taylor in the direction of the worst possible influence. it seems only a loop, then, the closing of a full cycle, that this night (if 4:36 AM can be properly called night) brings him to stand at her doorstep.

          in his defense, it was not planned --- the bulk of his life is not planned, merely a succession of events that take place one after the other pretty much out of their own accord, for the good and for the bad. it started as so many nights start, at a not-so-commendable night club, in not-so-commendable company, and with the promise that their indulgence would have to be cut short and before that rain that was already pouring got too terrible. but the road that leads to Hell is paved with nothing if not the best intention of men... and this one did not fall short, as that same promise for moderation was replaced with the ever predictable just one more shot and, from there, eventually got forgotten entirely.

          which lands him on the present situation, unsteady steps somehow having brought him to her home exactly, chancing to look up at her room’s window --- now a miniature storm falling all around, with thunder illuminating the dark skies and a torrent of water apparently unstoppable. soaked to the bone, of this much there’s no need to ask, though face illuminating like it’s nothing at all --- the moment she stares back.

‘ wanna come join me in mother nature’s shower? my treat! ‘

[killthebxy]

@brycecousland // cont.’d

          oh, but he could not have anticipated such a night --- still mostly keeping to himself and working on mixing drinks, whilst his coworker both tended to Bryce’s needs and endured the man’s drunken ramblings. truth be told, Jon had noticed him first thing upon entering the bar... and very much pretended not to, actually avoiding him and making sure they’d stay away from one another. why? for the simple reason he had no doubt he’d be judged for randomly falling off the face of the earth for the quarter of a year --- and, worse, for having to confess where he’d spent that time and under what circumstances.

          granted, he wasn’t one to give a fuck cut in half about what others thought of him; he’d never been so. yet things with Bryce had been going smoothly enough before his little unplanned trip to jail... not in a cheesy, sappy way of finding true love at last, not even close, but in regards to a genuinely good time. to genuinely enjoying each other’s company. and this was why he’d not wanted to look into the older one’s eyes now and find there that very much familiar shadow of DISAPPOINTMENT that he seemed to provoke in everyone else. running away and cutting ties was always so much easier.

          nonetheless, and because he couldn’t help but eavesdrop everything that was being said... yeah, it did make him smile; a wide smile, of something very close to awe. this guy... this idiotic, adorable guy, did he even listen to himself? saying such nice things about a complete trash of a human being? finding himself unable to hold back his impulse then, as happened all the time, he discreetly traded places with the coworker again and leaned over the counter to refill Bryce’s glass --- making sure their eyes met while at it.

‘ never really got t’ open me up properly durin’ out first date, did ya? ‘
