Gwen, why take on such a hard contract so young?

“That’s what family heads do, isn’t it? They’re the face of the family’s pride, so even in the hardest of times, they take up responsibility. Even if I didn’t want the position, I didn’t want to disappoint them either. Every one of them… Had put their faith in me. The option to decline was on the table, but who knew when I would get such an opportunity again? Achieve my goals, earn praise, as well as get stronger. I could do all of those at once…”

They paused, for a brief moment. A saddened look in their eye.

“Besides… It was my own choice to do so, so I can’t complain. I won’t blame my siblings, parents, or grandparents for something that was ultimately my choice. I’ve gained a lot of skills I could have never achieved, from living in a place like this; so I suppose it isn’t all bad.”

No amount of excuses could cover up the hopelessness they felt as they spoke. Perhaps their grandfather’s warning was correct— And they were taking on something too big too early. But even he could note the malicious look in the man’s eye— how contracted or not, he would have lured Gwen into his grasp. So they supposed their childish enthusiasm saved their family an extra burden.

🔷 Whin: Rio had done his best to stop them, truly. Sure he has no doubt they’ll complete it, but he despised the look Karl had in his eyes, as he was requesting a contract. Not only had the man all but waltzed into their home, but the look in his eye showed that he would do more than just barge in, if Gwen had refused.

So it wasn’t only just childish ambition and familial responsibility— But the subtle cue that refusing this man would have put their family in even more trouble than they could have handled. Gwen soon realised that when the analysed the way Karl had acted around them. He likely would’ve killed all of them, if he needed to.🔷

hello, i'm back to ask for a grishaverse and lotr matchup if that's alright!! i got curious 👀

i don't wanna reveal too much abt my looks but ig my notable feature is i'm short. even my hands and feet are tiny 🥲 some also say i have a resting b*tch face that makes me seem unapproachable and serious at first but depending on how close we are, i'm actually either the one making the jokes or the one laughing at the jokes. around new ppl, i can be shy but i sorta just try to blend in and mirror their personalities. on a good day, i'm passionate, amiable, creative, and altruistic. on a bad day, i'm distant, stubborn, quick-tempered, and self-deprecating.

my hobbies are writing and playing video games. i'm pretty much interested in any form of art bcs of my passion for people and psychology, especially the stories every person has to tell. my love language is quality time; i'm the type to want to do even the mundane daily things together in the same space with my loved ones. i'm bisexual with a slight preference for men i think. if i have ideal types, they're probably the "golden retriever himbo" types ngl 🤣 but also ppl who fight for justice, freedom, authenticity, and just a better world in general, both for themselves and others.

that's it!! i'm excited hahsjdjds but just take your time with this, thank you so much again and have a good day 💖

Not me reading Riordanverse instead of Grishaverse and writing a whole ass thing about Jason, whoops😗✌️

low key couldn’t decide for a grishaverse ship because I went from Jesper to Wylan to Nikolai to Wylan to Jesper to Nikolai etc. Something told me to pick Jesper, so here you go

Grishaverse, Jesper Fahey:

- This man might not be that observant, but the minute something is wrong with you; he knows. It is as if some switch flips and a lightbulb starts to light in his head. Whenever you’re having a bad day, he’s trying his best to cheer you up. But Jesper is very much a sunshine person, so often he’ll step on your toes unconsciously. It is all in good nature of course, but he can get caught up in cheering others up.

- You write???? This man will do anything to get his hands on your writings, whether you want it or not. He’s so interested in what goes on in that brain of yours and he simply loves to see what you write down, regardless on your works being published or not. He won’t show it to others, surprisingly. He respects your work an privacy and though he violates it, he won’t let anyone else do so. He’s very protective of it. It’s something special to him.

- Jesper would never make jokes about Inej’ height because he’s scared she’ll do something, no matter how close friends they are, but with you….won’t shut up. All kinds of stupid nicknames etc. What did you expect from him?

- He has the best laughs with you. The two of you have your special kind of humor, filled with inside jokes and everything. During heists, he’s always mentioning them, distracting the both of you, much to the annoyance of Kaz. He learned to live with it eventually. It became inevitable when Nina joined in as well. Both of them will do anything just to laugh together. All of your laughs are simply so contagious, and you love sharing it with each other. Jesper cries very quickly when he laughs, with only makes the situation funnier.

——

Lord of the Rings, Peregrin Took:

- Golden Retriever Himbo you said? Who else could it be but Pippin (or Merry)? He is the literal personification of a himbo. It doesn’t get better than this. He is absolutely clueless at points, even as he is relatively clever for his being. He just tends to get confused often, but in adorable ways. You could tell him a story and he’d be like “yes, no I completely agree.”, where you answer with; “but Pip, it’s not good.”, and the poor guy will just sit there with wide eyes, having no idea what just happened.

- Canonically, he and Merry are the tallest hobbits, thanks to the water they drank in Fangorn. Would you be a hobbit, in the Tolkien universe, he won’t ever let you forget it. Not necessarily because you are shorter, but because he is taller. He loves to boast about it. He also really likes hiding things up high, just so you can ask him to get them. You know he hides them just so he can do it, but you act oblivious to it, just to see his smile when you mention your book has landed above the chandelier again.

- First day he met you, he cracked that resting bitch face right off. He already seemed entranced by you, marched up in confidence and tripped over his own feet. Tough to not laugh at that. Even though you can’t really help it, he’ll nudge your side occasionally when you are out, silently letting you know you are resting your face again. Not because he doesn’t like it, but because other hobbits tend to get intimated by it. And Pippin loves to show you off. And that can only be done when you are laughing with (or at) him.

3 - Are there any special holidays or anniversaries you and your f/o share together?

Rae and Knuckle are both pretty festive people and they do celebrate holidays anniversaries birthdays and anything in between! Any reason to celebrate and drink is a good reason but they always get into the festivities without going way too overboard. Christmas is Knuckle’s favorite holiday. He gets caught up in the colorful lights, the tasty food and drink, and the fun winter adventures he and Rae go on together! He finds the Christmas season warm and romantic, And one of his favorite Christmas moments was when He and Rae couldn’t sleep on Christmas Eve. They decided to go make some hot chocolate, and they were greeted by their dogs (because of course they would have at least 2). They lost track of time, playing and cuddling with their pups by the light of their tree and the fireplace, cozy and warm from their drinks, fuzzy puppy snuggles, and their love for each other. When the clock stuck midnight they were still on the floor leaning against each other, falling asleep with their dogs in their laps. Knuckle kissed her cheek and wished her a Merry Christmas, only for her to mumble something incoherent in return. He just smiled and rested his head against hers again before falling asleep, grateful he gets to spend another Christmas with her.

They also celebrate the day they got each of their dogs! They get super into it and silly with it, wearing party hats and giving each pup a little doggy cake and a gift! Then they spend the rest of the day taking them on a little adventure, whether it be a hike or swim, something dog friendly and fun! They mark it in their calendars every year, and sometimes are more excited about their dog’s adoption days than than their own birthdays! 🥳

19 - what’s your f/o’s favorite form of intimacy? I rolled this one already! But I can do more! Knuckle deserves it anyway ❤️ https://reality-maybe.tumblr.com/post/677106819771006976/joyandeggs-sent-me-the-dice-roll-ask-and-asked-me

Another form of intimacy that is really important to Knuckle is physical intimacy. Knuckle is a very touchy feely guy, the sense of touch helps ground him when other senses can’t get to him, especially when he’s struggling to get into the right state of mind. There have been times where he’s almost acted on impulsive anger, and the one thing that stopped him was Rae’s small but firm hand on his shoulder. With her, he can take a step back, and though he would still be hotheaded, he would have enough sense to listen to her. They keep each other in check, and even though he may be upset for the time being, he tells her how grateful he is to have her be able to catch him. Knuckle is really an actions speak louder than words kind of guy, and though he’s not bad when it comes to whispering sweet nothings into Rae’s ear, he always shows his affections, large or small, through how he touches her. Both of them are very big on long warm cuddle sessions, and he wants to have her close and sit on his lap or have her in his arms as much as possible. he didn’t admit it to her, he loves being a little spoon. It’s very therapeutic for him, being held and enveloped in Rae’s arms and soft body, he feels safe and can let his guard down when he’s all wrapped up in her. he loves it when Rae rubs his back when she cuddles him too, if she does it long enough, it puts him right to sleep. but when they’re not cuddling, the touches between them give him reassurance that she is alright, and that he’s not alone to face whatever is coming at him. Hand holding and playing with each other’s fingers, the small tugs of their sleeves as they pass by each other, having his hand on her thigh when they sit together, his rough fingers gently playing with and bouncing the tips of of her long and curly hair, the playful surprise ass slaps when they’re alone and competition that comes with it. He loves it all, and she does too.

7 - what is one thing your f/o does that never fails to make you flustered One thing that came to a HUGE surprise to both himself and Rae (and to me when I first thought of this hc) was how good Knuckle could be at dancing. He always thought he had two left feet, and never really tried. The only times we’re super forced and kind of awkward for him, which solidified the thoughts for him. But when he watches Rae when she was dancing (also badly, I can’t dance for shit but want to try to anyway. Fuck it, it’s fun regardless!) and singing in the kitchen, she dragged him into her and asked him to dance with her. He didn’t want to turn her down, especially when she was smiling so brightly at him, but he was so self conscious and flustered that he just moved his arms around. Rae laughed in good nature and told him to feel the music. He still didn’t get it. Then she told him to think of it like fighting, without the intent to hit someone. Suddenly it clicked. The timing of moves, gauging what your partner is going to do next, thinking ahead, the same skill, agility, and power he possesses could all be put into a different form. He found his rhythm with the music as his mentor, the steps and movements came easier the less he thought and the more he felt and experienced. At the end of it, both he and Rae were blown away, and he looked at her to see her full face flushed darker than normal with an intense blush. Since then there have been other times she’s caught him dancing by himself, getting better. Sometimes he was just too good, the gyrations of his hips and the way his muscles strained as his body moved a guaranteed way to get her blushing and stuttering if she got caught watching. Knuckle always knew she was there watching him though, not that he’d ever tell her 😉

Here’s the prompt!
