#A Glimpse of Humanity

[study-of-happiness]

One time, I was walking my dog with my ex, and we were approaching an older man, to which I tensed being a lesbian couple, and he says as we get closer, "man's best friend... woman's best friend... peoples best friend." and I think about that all that time.

Chapter 8: Life Between Battles

Life Between Battles The days after their first battle passed in a haze of exhaustion and grief. The men of the Saint Patrick’s Battalion worked tirelessly to bury their dead, patch their wounds, and make sense of the lives they had just taken. For James Dawkins, the weight of what he had seen clung to him like a shadow. Every face, every cry of pain, every life lost—it was all etched into his…

First art of the new year and I'm quite happy with it! This started out as 'Wouldn't it be cute if Octavia wanted eye markings like Stolas and Blitz have' and turned into a dad-daughter makeover slumber party. 😂

Bad ending Durge whos body mutates into the Slayer, but not all the way. Half person who they used to be, half the perfect form Bhaal would've given them if they were good, all the way abomination that forever locks then away from any delusion that they could ever be anything more than Bhaal's.

Not free, not rewarded, feral, except for the small flashes of clarity where Bhaal lets them be themselves again, locked in a body that can no longer speak, and they can't ever apologize to Father, or even beg to be put out of their misery.

Anyway AA or Gortash or DJ Shart or Minthara could keep them as a pet, feed them innocents and ignore their occassional pleas to be killed already

Maximus Decimus Meridius Headcanons: Expressions of Love

The thing about Maximus is that, once he is in love with you, everything he does becomes an expression of love.

He has always been a keen observer, and he puts those skills to good use in his relationship with you. Anytime you are sad or frustrated or uncertain, he always is able to sense those emotions without you having to tell him.

...and while he isn't the type for grand gestures, he will always find a way to reassure you. A subtle squeeze of your hand, if you're in a public place. An embrace that lasts longer than usual. Some soft words of encouragement.

...AND just because he's not the type for grand public gestures, that doesn't mean he's not a romantic down to the depths of his bones. This man absolutely lives to bring you flowers, gift you the finest horses he can find, carve special figures for you out of wood. Nothing brings him greater joy than not only being able to give you something, but being able to make it with his own hands and think of you while he's making it.

Also kisses. So many kisses.

Kisses on your cheek, on your lips, on your forehead, your hands, your arms, your legs, your chest, your neck, every last inch of you. Gentle kisses, passionate kisses, languid kisses, intense kisses, emotional kisses, sleepy kisses... it just never ends with him.

He loves sharing his interests with you, as well. Reading is one of his favorite pastimes, and many evenings are spent curled up with him beside the fire or in bed, listening to him read aloud. Riding horses and tending crops also takes up a great deal of his time, and he loves for you to work alongside him so you can spend time together.

And he will look for so many opportunities to spend time with you. Going for a midnight swim together. Cooking a meal together. Taking an early-morning walk. Sharing a bath. Even just doing repairs around your home together. Anything is an opportunity.

While he is usually a very stoic and serious person, one of his primary expressions of love is the way he smiles and laughs when he's with you. It's as if he can't keep himself from grinning when he's watching you — you just bring him so much joy, he can't keep it contained inside.

Even if is far away from you for many months at a time, he finds himself whispering prayers to the gods to keep you safe, to not let him forget your smiling face, to bring you back together soon.

And when he returns home to you, it's with such joy, because his whole life has become an expression of love to you. If Maximus is in love with you, you will never have the slightest reason to doubt his love.

...and of course a few slightly nsfw ones, because I can't help it :D

There is no sex with Maximus that does not involve an untold amount of kissing, caressing, and outpourings of affection. Every time he takes you in his arms, it's because he wants to demonstrate his love for you, and he always does exactly that.

Having him go down on you isn't something you even have to ask for — he does it of his own volition. More nights than not are spent with him kneeling between your legs, coaxing the sweetest sounds from you.

Nothing pleases him more than knowing that you trust him and that he satisfies you as no one else can. Hearing you moan his name is like an aphrodisiac.

He always keeps his eyes open when you make love. He wants to study your expressions, look deep in your eyes while you're sharing that time together.

And when you're both finished and so spent you can't even move, he always takes the time to gather you up in his arms, kiss your face gently, and whisper how much he loves you before you both drift off to sleep in each other's embrace.

I am not so sure if you allow questions directly to Mr puzzles. But if not sorry . But Mr puzzles, why do you have a blue glass eye instead of a brown glass eye?

It really all boils down to wanting to be remembered. Even if it’s just for a weird eye.

( Also, you totally can send in asks directed to Mr. Puzzles!! I definitely take longer to do them in comparison to other doodle suggestions & questions, but i don’t mind people sending them. I see them as fun practice for writing dialogue :) )

I love the "he asked for no pickles" meme with doorkeay bc I've only ever seen it with Gerry being the one talking and u just KNOW it's not bc Michael doesn't want to correct the food staff, but that it wants to correct them a little too much. Gerry has to step in otherwise they'll be there for at least another hour of Michael spinning some philosophical bullshit and scaring some poor fast food worker, and while Gerry doesn't necessarily mind Michael doing that in and of itself (he knows the thing he's in love with), as the only one of the two of them who actually needs material food he would like to eat that food before it gets cold tyvm.

countdown to dawntrail - endwalker

as fragmented, imperfect beings, yours is a never-ending quest: a quest to find your purpose, knowing your end is assured; to find the strength to continue, when all strength has left you; to find joy, even as darkness descends and... amidst deepest despair... light everlasting.
