@caeloservare asked: oh dear, here we go-
Qrow: ❤️💜💖💗💗💗💗💗 Hazel: ❤️💜💜💖💗💗 Clover: 💗💛 💞 (❤️ but shhhh…) Ghira: 💜 (worry not, it's just an observation. The man's hot) Glynda: 💖💗sometimes 💓 Aster: 💓 Oscar: 💛 Salem (same would go for Robyn, Adam and Jacques of course too but I don't wanna spam you forever xD) : 💔
Popping this under a readmore, just for length!
❤️: Wants or is in a romantic relationship with them. 💜: Finds them sexually attractive. 💖: Finds them aesthetically attractive. 💗: Finds them romantically attractive. (x5)
"You feelin' okay over there, James?" he asks, teasing lilt to his tone. But he pulls the other man into a hug anyway. He'd be lying if he said he didn't care..., but as with anything, he's just....scared of what could happen if he lets himself get too close.
❤️: Wants or is in a romantic relationship with them. 💜: Finds them sexually attractive. (x2) 💖: Finds them aesthetically attractive. 💗: Finds them romantically attractive. (x2)
The idea that James Ironwood thinks so highly of him is still a little bit jarring. Part of Hazel doesn't know how to deal with it; it had been a long time since anyone had actually....cared about him, beyond his use as a tool. He hadn't realized what he'd been missing.
💗: Finds them romantically attractive. 💛: Loves them platonically. 💞: Feels attracted to them, but can’t work out if it’s platonic, sexual, or romantic attraction they’re feeling. (❤️: Wants or is in a romantic relationship with them.)
"Be still my beating heart," he says with a grin. "Should I come by later, help you figure things out?" They'd been through a lot together, after all, and there were definitely some feelings there.
💜: Finds them sexually attractive.
A little laugh leaves him. "I'm flattered, General. And if I weren't happily married, I'd certainly be interested, but as it stands...., thank you for the compliment."
💖: Finds them aesthetically attractive. 💗: Finds them romantically attractive. 💓: Is intimidated by them, but wants to be friends with them.
"It's nice to see your sense of taste hasn't been dulled, at least,"
💓: Is intimidated by them, but wants to be friends with them.
"There's no need to be intimidated by me, James," he says with a soft laugh, tail curling lazily behind him. "Though I seem to be getting that response a lot."
💛: Loves them platonically.
He hadn't known the General personally for very long, but there was a lot of depth of feeling there. They'd known one another for quite some time, beyond his experience of the man, and he'd be lying if he said he didn't care about him.
💔: Hates their guts.
"What a good little Tin Soldier you are, even now," she laughs. She doesn't care about him one way or another. He's....irrelevant, in the grand scheme of things.
💔: Hates their guts.
"Believe it or not, I don't hate you, General. I think we could have done some good if you'd told the truth sooner."
💔: Hates their guts.
He's used to humans hating him. Especially when he'd done nothing to them.
💔: Hates their guts.
"The feeling is mutual, I assure you."

@verdantsillusion asked: Send 🧲 for a list of what my muse finds attractive about yours ( Adam / Qrow ? )
Send 🧲 for a list of what my muse finds attractive about yours // Accepting
“I have an eye for this sort of thing.”
Pretty eyes. Red is always a good colour.
She knows how to really rock the clothes she wears. They don’t wear her; she wears them.
She’s very loyal, which is a definite plus.
Legs for days.
The bare midriff is absolutely a look.

Send 😳 for something my muse finds attractive about yours // Accepting
@sunguns / @slaughtermachine asked: 😳And this one for Adam from the Lieutenant <3
Adam is quiet for a good few minutes, not because he doesn't have anything to say, but because he's choosing his words. There are so many things about his lieutenant he finds attractive, but how does he express that? He's usually so good with words…, but it's important to him for his words to contain the full impact of his thoughts.
"Have you ever had someone see through all of the defenses you put up to keep the world out? But they manage to see past that wall, to get through those barriers…., and they still don't turn away from you, even after seeing every flaw, every vulnerable piece of you?" That was what his lieutenant had done.
"He understands me in a way I didn't think was possible, beyond our shared brands." He didn't want to talk about that, though; he wanted to talk about his lieutenant.
"Beyond all of that, though….," he trails off, taking a moment to lick his lips. "He's probably one of the most perfect physical beings I have ever had the pleasure of seeing, let alone touching. He's strong, and you can see that just by looking at him. The way he's worked on sculpting and perfecting his body….," he trails off again, not finding the word he wants.
"I've gotten lost in his gaze, and I know every line of his face better than mine." It was a sore spot, for both of them…., he knew, but even with the brand, his lieutenant was handsome. Adam knew how hard it was to feel that way, with your face marred, and he wanted to make sure his lieutenant fully understood just how incredibly attractive Adam found him.

Prompts for dramatic reunions // Accepting
@sunguns asked: "next time, take me with you." for Adam from his Lieutenant uwu 🥺👉👈
If anyone else had dared to speak to Adam like that, with his mood as it was, he might have snapped at them, told them to leave him, demanded solitude to seethe in his rage. But his lieutenant was one of the few people who actually /understood/ him, on a level that no one else could, who shared in his desire to watch the world burn, and to build it back up, with the Faunus as the ones on top. They had been stepped on, pushed around, /enslaved/ long enough, and it was time for that to change.
And if the humans didn't want to listen, well, they'd just have to MAKE them, wouldn't they?
"How can I go anywhere without you when you're the one who understands me?" he replies, his singular blue eye glinting beneath his ever-present mask, though the man in front of him knows full well what lies beneath it.
Soon enough, all of the White Fang would be under his control, and then they would truly be a force to be reckoned with. He had taken a detour, to truly get Blake out of his system, and he could finally focus on their true goal: for the Faunus to truly be free.
Her betrayal had distracted him, but it was just the latest in a long line of disappointments. But his lieutenant had always been loyal, faithful to Adam, and he would reward that loyalty tenfold.

Darker vibes // Accepting
@slaughtermachine asked: ❛ i would gladly let you drag me to hell. ❜ oh god they just keep coming, adam is getting mad angry wolf vibes tonight
Adam paces back and forth, mask off, hand on sword hilt, fury blazing through him. How dare that human presume to command him, presume to command the faunus? It was exactly that sort of thing that he was working against; humans couldn't just waltz into his camp and expect his men to die for them, for their cause. But that was exactly what Cinder and her ilk had done.
And he had turned them down, told them to get out, that he wasn't going to risk his men for humans.
But she had come back, had slaughtered most of the faunus in camp…., and if he wanted those who were left to have a fighting chance, he had to agree. He hated it, hated being used like this…., but he was going to use them right back. With the money and Dust they'd given him, the White Fang was going to be able to escape in the middle of the chaos from the Fall of Beacon.
He hears the flap of his tent shift, and he grabs for his mask, prepared to round on whoever had dared to disturb him, to snarl at them to get out, to leave him, but before he can replace his mask on his face, he hears the one person who can withstand his wrath.
"I would gladly let you drag me to hell," his lieutenant says, and Adam turns, mask still in hand, fury still radiating through him, but his other hand falls away from the hilt of his sword, his scowl relaxing somewhat.
It was good to know his lieutenant was still with him; he knew his latest instructions hadn't been what anyone had been anticipating, and they were likely not that popular. They just had to get through this, scatter and lay low for a little while before they all regrouped in another kingdom. Then they'd be able to join another faction of the White Fang, to keep fighting.
The two of them would stick together, no matter what else happened.
He drops his mask on a chair and crosses to his lieutenant, reaching for the other man's mask; he needs to see him, needs to touch him. Once he can see his lieutenant's face, he meets his lieutenant's golden gaze, allowing the sight to reassure him, to calm him somewhat. In this moment, at the very least.
"If we burn, we'll burn together," he responds, stepping closer to the taller man. He didn't know what was going to happen, how many they were going to lose, and though that did matter to him…., he can't lose his lieutenant. So they were just going to have to make it through this, both of them. They were going to have the hardest time getting out unnoticed…., but they'd dealt with worse odds.

Send a 🍁, ask a question // Accepting
Anonymous asked: 🍁 + Adam, what was your relationship with Blake really like?
He's not surprised at the question; a lot of people thought his obsession with her was from some misguided attempt at romance. And while there had been a time before she'd run away that he thought he was starting to love her, that maybe, just maybe, she might love him, that had quickly changed.
He had loved the idea of her, of what she represented. As far as faunus went, she had suffered very little; she had been raised by loving parents, had wanted for nothing, had only joined the White Fang because her parents were in it initially, not because she'd had no other choice. And yes, there's more to it than that; she chose to stay even after her parents had left, but he'd had nothing.
His parents had abandoned him as an infant, he'd been practically sold to the SDC, forced to work in the mines as a child, and then he'd been branded, which had ended any hope of escape, of a normal life.
And for a time…, he had thought that Blake had seen past all of the hurt, to the scared boy beneath, saw how much he wanted to help his fellow faunus, even if he didn't always make the best choices.
"It was….complicated," at best, he finally replies. They had not shared more than a single kiss….., but she represented everything he could never have…., and that made him angry. Beauty….home….a loving family….; he wanted to destroy all of it.

Darker vibes // Accepting
@slaughtermachine asked: ❛ you’re the monster that’s enticed me into your bed. ❜ and this too for the terrible two.
"I am a monster," he acknowledges, "and I am going to do it again." Because when he's with his lieutenant, he can actually feel. There's more than the nothingness that has accompanied him for so long, and Adam clung to that, couldn't get enough of it, couldn't get enough of him. They have both known nothing but anger and violence, and though some of that bleeds over into whatever this is, they had both known who they were going in.
The two of them had been through so much together; his lieutenant had been beside him for longer than anyone, had known him when he was little more than an angry boy, pushing back against an unfair world, refusing to let it break him down.
Is it any wonder that they find solace in each other? They each bear the mark of their past, a mark that had followed them far longer than any other physical scars of that place, had kept them from ever having any sense of normalcy. Had they ever had any choice but to fight? But to use that pain and anger to take revenge, to make sure what happened to them didn't happen again?
If he was a monster…., at least he wasn't alone any longer. He had always had his lieutenant by his side, but it was different now. They'd both been starved of touch, of any sort of affection, and they didn't have to hide any part of themselves from one another. They understood one another even deeper than they had before, and he wasn't going to let go of that.

@slaughtermachine asked: ❛ the fucked up thing is that it isn’t enough to just love you. ❜ you know whass goin down with adam and his homie
Adam looked over at his lieutenant, and for a moment, the only words he heard were 'not enough.' And all the old thoughts, the old fears (he hadn't been human enough to warrant keeping, hadn't been obedient enough for the SDC, hadn't turned the other cheek enough for Ghira, hadn't been perfect enough for Blake, hadn't done enough for Sienna) come rushing back, flood his senses, and it's all he can think.
He'd never been enough, and now his lieutenant has seen that too.
But then the rest of the words catch up with him, and it still takes a moment to fully process what he'd said.
He's silent for a long moment, single blue eye just watching the other man, thoughts racing. Adam gets to his feet and closes the distance between them, standing in front of his lieutenant, gazing down at him where he sits.
"You're right," Adam agrees, his eye never leaving his lieutenant's. "I want you to possess me, to worship me the same way I worship you, so that I don't know where I end and you begin. I want you to feel the same desperation, the same devotion that I feel." He wasn't sure he knew what love was….., but he would kill for his lieutenant…., and more than that, he would die for him.
He was his best friend, his partner in crime, his second-in-command…., his lover…., and so much more than that. Adam wanted to be the first thing he touched in the morning, the last thing he tasted at night. He had never felt like this before; it was so much more than any story said…, and he wasn't sure he had the words to fully express himself.

@slaughtermachine asked: ❤️💛💚💜💖💗💞💝 All of that, from the Lieutenant to Adam
And also 💙💘 and maaaaaaaaaybe 💜 for Hazel
❤️: Wants or is in a romantic relationship with them. 💛: Loves them platonically. 💚: Is a little jealous of them. 💜: Finds them sexually attractive. 💖: Finds them aesthetically attractive. 💗: Finds them romantically attractive. 💞: Feels attracted to them, but can’t work out if it’s platonic, sexual, or romantic attraction they’re feeling. 💝: Looks up to them as a role model.
He'd known that what they had was important...., and it's reassuring to know that he's not the only one who thinks so. And having someone flat-out find him physically attractive is new and different and something he's not entirely sure he'll ever really be used to.
"I...," he starts, but Adam Taurus, who could usually find words for any situation, is at a loss. He reaches out to touch his lieutenant's face, blue eye meeting yellow, hoping he can convey his feelings through the soft touch instead.
💙: Feels pretty indifferent towards them. 💘: Doesn’t really like them, but doesn’t flat-out hate them either. 💜: Finds them sexually attractive.
Hazel isn't surprised by any of that, except maybe the last one. Still...., they're on mostly neutral ground at the moment, though that could certainly change.
