#│Out of Touch : OOC

[yippee-optimistically]

small lightbrush dump bc i read the most immaculate fic of them last night and cant find anything else that good i havent read. im so obsessed w this yuri rn

[bitchlesslesbian]

When hilson get together they are cozy , touchy not at first thought , it takes time for them to realize that they can touch each other now , it isn't like they couldn't before but it would've so weird , what if one touches the other and they don't like it? Neither of them could take that risk , it starts small , some casual hand touch that could pass like an accident then it scales , caress that starts to last minutes , soft kisses , awkward cuddles when watching trashy soap operas and weird hand holding when they are alone , they realize soon that they can't hold their hands to themselfs , they need to touch and touch , they had been so touch starved of each other for more of a decade and every tiny touch is like breathing , it's easy and they need it so much.

// okay but actually knowing that the ending isn't totally tragic makes it way less scary to get involved. Certain "bad ends" can be terrible for people with past experience, so knowing that eventually it will get better is relieving to say the least.

yeah i do actually have phase 2's ending planned out and i'll say that it's a lot more positive and hopeful . i mean it's not a happily ever after or something but we'll see some character development

i guess i'm throwing out all of these reassurances because - i think it's apparent already but phase 2 will have considerably darker topics ( trauma , identity crises and whatever 00 has going on to be specific ) , and i fully believe that the message i'm going for will be shattered if it ends badly . she'll be alright /genuine .

Random Thought

Just a theory. What if Odysseus was sent to Elysium in the end?

(If you’re curious abt the different meanings of these Greek words…check out this post where I ranted abt them)

“A death (θάνατος)”: You will be sent there, Odysseus, and you may never leave. “Afterlife”, as later writers would consider it to be—but what if it’s a living man in afterlife? “Death”, we call it.

“A death outside of the sea (ἐξ ἁλός)”: Ending up in Elysium which was located on the western edge of earth beside the streams of Oceanus (Ὠκεανός), which was outside of the entire area of the sea (ἅλς) lying on the very edge.

“A tender (ἀβληχρός) death”: What harm so violent could ever come to you in Elysium, Odysseus? This is the most gentle way to get you to the afterlife; and it’s tender like the hand of love, when you find her beside you—you know her to be your Penelope.

“Ripe old age (λιπαρός γῆρας)”: Yep he’s old now.

“A blest (ὄλβιος) people”: They are a happy people blest by the gods, these residents in Elysium. (Proof in Hesiod’s Works and Days, line 171: “ὄλβιοι ἥρωες …”)

So yeah, Teiresias’s prophecy works for this ending too. Nothing keeps him from reuniting with Menelaus in Elysium :D

Tho it’s just a theory…

Hello!! I'm back with another question about your wonderful royals au :)

In your most recent post with andreil & hand holding, is there a backstory for the cold hands one? One of them asks "does it hurt?" So I was just wondering:)

Okay I know you sent another ask right after (I’m so glad you were able to find the gloves/hands post bc I’m going to believe that means my links work and help to some degree) but I held onto this one because IM NOT DONE WITH THE COLD HANDS INTERACTION

(Thank you @fandomnerd101 @jtl-fics @leedee013 for these tags)

Anyway the bit in that post is Andrew asking Abram if the scars on his hands hurt in the cold, and Abram knows better than/knows it’s no use to lie to him. Also Abram/Neil being quietly honest with Andrew about not being ‘fine’ is something I hold soooo close to my heart 🥺

Tiny check in 'cause it's my birthday and I wanna say thanks to those who sent wishes my way the last few days <3

Keeping a long story short, things are going well. Obviously I'm still on hiatus and will be for a while but I'm getting pockets of free time where I'm trying to do drafts after housework and other important things, so major thanks for those of you who are sticking with me and being patient. Wishing you all the best~

❗Beware the OFMD spoilers❗

The fact that (I fucking knew the knee shot will be when the show will be 💯 historically accurate.) Izzy's new leg is literally made from the Revenge itself, by the crew to him is the firmest metaphor I've ever seen for acceptance and family. The Revenge has literally sailed through a storm which should've sunken, destroyed it completely but it pulled through, damaged, torn but still afloat. I saw people comparing it to Ed's and Stede's relationship status, that they have something physical to rebuild and mend besides their love. Which is totally valid and I support that theory wholeheartedly! But I also like to compare the state of the Revenge to Izzy's. He lost toes, then a leg, then almost died via suicide. After all this, he still got up and saved the crew, probably also the one directing them out of the storm. So the image of a battered (and stabbed) Revenge I think can also apply to Izzy.

Okay, back to the leg. The crew made it for him after everything they had witnessed, experienced. I reckon he never had a group of people or even one to support him, to protect him; he wouldn't even have allowed it before. But now he has what he thought impossible and weakness in pirate life. The knowledge that they not only accepted him, but actively looking out for him even when the danger has passed: they aren't sailing in a storm and Edward isn't on the ship so technically, they don't need him anymore for protection or life saving orders. Yet they are still there for him and made a...relatively functioning mobility aid for him. From the ship that survived a storm thought impossible. For the indestructible little fucker. As soon as he realizes he isn't alone, the unhealthy coping mechanisms stop and he -so far- seems to be healing from everything that had happened & this wouldn't be possible without the crew's support.

Izzy both figuratively and literally became part of the ship.

How uncool / old I am with the kids' lingo nowadays.

Whenever I read the phrase: serving cunt I think of a waiter holding a naked lady on a platter and setting it on the table while saying: Here is the cunt you ordered, sir/madam. Dig in.

Don't correct me on the real meaning. It's more amusing for me this way. And yeah I know how to Google, but amusement.
