@crimsontroupe asked :

"Hey."

It's not unusual for Rannulfr to appear unannounced, and leave just as abruptly. For the last few days, he has spent his time and resources tracking down his most valuable associate. Not for any work-related matter, and not for pleasure. Well, perhaps some kind of selfish pleasure. That devious grin on his face as his head pops into vision around the corner of a building is unmistakable.

"Hard to find you, girl. But I did not expect it any differently. If you gave me an easy time, then I would say you are going soft." His eyes squint to the point that it is almost impossible to see if they are still open. That deep green stares deep at her, fond and mischievous. "I was wondering what you would like for your birthday. You are a woman who enjoys your luxuries, Yelan.

And the more I thought about it, the more I realized you'd frown at me if I got you something fancy and grandiose. Instead, I decided to go with something more simple." As if on cue, he cuts the distance between the two of them. Raises his left hand and ever-so-gently (more gentle than he usually is, that is for sure) places a flower on her hair, gently tucked behind her ear.

"I was watching the city, wondering when you would be back. As I said, it is hard to track you when you do not want to be tracked. But I have good eyes, and a lot of patience. Setting up camp is easy. I could go around gathering those, but I feel like it would lose its meaning." The expression softens, and Ran's smile seems just a bit gentler. With his thumb he gently caresses one of the petals of the glaze lily he harvested for her. "Somewhere high up where I could find you. Very convenient, is it not? I do not doubt you know exactly where I was perched, waiting for this opportunity." He lowers his head a bit, brushing his lips against hers. "Well, happy birthday. I plan to spend the day with you, so you better be prepared. Until the moon disappears welcoming the sun, I shall listen to your every request.

That is not something you can easily get. You know this well. I am willing to make an exception for you. Just today, hm?" Ran winks right after, filling the air with laughter. Of course it was not just for today. "I want to celebrate your existence, Yelan."

happy birthday yelan ! ( 20.04.2023 ) || always accepting

─「夜兰」─  the INFORMANT was hanging around her secret sanctuary. the highest point of liyue, the qingyun peak. more especially, she was seated upon the dwelling in the clouds, the FLOATING ISLAND that allowed her to look down to the vast clouds and scenery of liyue as a whole. it was a place where yelan found herself coming back to whenever she needed some time for herself, whether to think, to escape, or to relax. no one knew of this place other than selected few, that was why she liked to be here, away from people, away from the eyes of others.

                so it was a pleasant surprise for her to hear a familiar voice coming from behind her. gaze of AQUAMARINE turned to meet with deep emerald. if it were anyone else, she would have told them off or even lunged an attack over them intruding her privacy. " hey you. " he was, however, an exception. she was quite impressed by the fact that he managed to find her here. no one had ever been able to track her down if she didn't want to be found. but if there would be anyone who could find her out of all places in liyue and beyond, she seemed to not mind it being him.

                " i'm impressed that you manage to find me. " there was a hint of amusement in her voice, as she turned from the scenery to face him. it made her wonder how many days had he spent trying to track her down. a SOFT SMILE appeared on her lips as she tilted her head at him, returning that fond and mischievous gaze right back. a light chuckle echoed in the back of her throat. she seemed to be in a good mood. was it because of his unannounced arrival ? or was it because he actually remembered ( more like found out ) that today was her birthday.

                " are you here to give me a present ? " her eyes gleamed with playfulness, and as though he could read her mind, a single stride was all he needed to close the distance between them. she let out another amused chuckle over him mentioning how she enjoyed luxuries. but he was RIGHT. he was on point. she would've scolded him for getting her something grand and expensive. mora and monetizing value means little to nothing to her. she could have anything she ever wanted, after all. the world is in her grasp.

                her eyes found themselves upon his features when he tucked a single glaze lily into her hair. the soft fragrance of the floral itself provided a rather sweet atmosphere as they stood before each other, face to face. listening to his words, her eyes couldn't help softening just imagining him PERCHING on top of the roof somewhere, or even atop the high mountain that would give him leverage to see anyone come and go, waiting to spot her silhouette in the crowds.

                " you were waiting for me ? how cute. " despite the tease, she didn't avoid him when he leaned down, his lips brushed over hers softly, and she tilted her head to the side, only to prolong that soft touch just a moment longer. it was tender and soft, one that set her heart pounding. a different kind of kiss they usually shared in their moments of passion. words were left unsaid, as she watched him fondly so.

                i want to celebrate your existence.

                there was something about the way he uttered those syllables into the air. was it the look in his eyes when he gazed at her ? or was it the way she could feel his breath tickling her nose with how close they were ? yelan wasn't sure, but she wasn't going to ask, either, nor was she going to tell him that they made her heart skip a beat. no. all she did was taking a small step towards him, raised both her arms to link her hands behind his neck, loosely wrapping around it and pulling him closer.

                " so, you're offering yourself as my present, ran ? " her head canted to the side, almost innocently. the way her lips tugged up into a SWEET SMILE spoke how she certainly was approving of the notion. after all, if she didn't want him to find her, he wouldn't have. and if she didn't want him here, she wouldn't lead him here, either. only selected few was allowed to know of this place, and HE was one of them. his words still lingered at the back of her mind. wanting to celebrate her existence. really, the way he phrased that ...

                ... it was almost as if he was telling her he was grateful for her to be born.

                her hands laced themselves behind his neck, guiding him down so their eyes could meet. there was a comfortable silence between them, how their gazes seemed to communicate and she was sure that he could hear the sound of her heart thumping with how close they were, the same way she could hear his HEART pounding louder. and she whispered against his lips, like a secret, as long lashes draped over her eyes.

                " don't mind if i do, then. "

                and she sealed his lips with another kiss.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but

YOU DO NOT NEED TO START A NEW HOBBY!

STEP AWAY FROM THE TEXTILES!

YOU DON'T NEED MORE YARN!

THAT FABRIC IS NOT CALLING TO YOU! LEAVE IT ALONE!

One of my favourite mundane weirdnesses about Edinburgh is that we set the big clock visible approaching the station to be 3 minutes fast to make sure people are on time for their trains. My Favourite mundane weirdness of Edinburgh is that we check this by firing a cannon.

annual post telling people to stop slandering “kill shelters” as if they want to euthanize healthy animals. stop believing the evil kill shelter narrative and instead consider how bad it would be for the animals if we had no open intake shelters.

trans women are everywhere and are so eager to be seen and heard but only if they feel safe around you. if you hardly ever have trans women interacting with you, especially online, then consider there might be a reason for that and you should address it

Heavy topic.

They look so exhausted in the last chapters

[skellagirl]

so I played through Origins again and there's this middle-aged man 🫣

Amrynn the Hero of Ferelden will smooch him, so help me God

why did they do him so fucking dirty in Trespasser anyway lol 😭 I'm half convinced he was originally meant to be an entirely different character and then last minute they were like, 'hey let's make him Teagan instead' but didn't change anything about his design. But it IS really funny when your Inquisitor rides up to the exalted council and looks up at him and he's just mean mugging the FUCK out of you
