#FEELIN SAPPY RN !!!

[tetzoro]

cozy nights in with ace include having him laying on the bed shirtless, basking in the warmth and affection you ever so carefully pour over him.

mapping out the many constellations of freckles that take up his back, your finger trailing from point to point as your universe opens up before you, sending shivers up his spine. silent whispers of i love you gently carved into his skin by the motion of your tender movements.

a different level of intimacy that has him melting further into the mattress. being treated with so much love has his heart stuttering in his chest. a level of care he’s never quite gotten used to but gratefully welcomes nonetheless.

a small smile takes up his face as he’s practically purring under you, letting out soft little hums of approval with each new stroke of your finger that spells out a new declaration of love.

his heart swells with pure adoration for you and he’s itching to return the favor, to hold you impossibly close and whisper every lovely thought he’s ever had about you — which may take awhile. but hey, he’s got all the time in the world and he wants to spend every second of it with you.

oh to be held gently by one of the mercs

[laiiaaa]

thinking abt what Carmen would do if his gf’s feeling insecure…i’m so sappy rn this was rly self-indulgent :(

You walk into the bathroom while Carmen’s brushing his teeth, sweatpants hanging low on his hips and triceps flexing as he leans into the counter. You take gentle hold of his arm and press a kiss to his shoulder.

With the toothbrush still in his mouth, he mumbles, “Hey, baby,” before leaning over and spitting into the sink. He turns on the faucet, bends over to rinse his mouth, and relishes in the feeling of your hand rubbing up his back. “You want anything special for dinner tonight?” He makes eye contact with you through the reflection in the mirror. “I’m stoppin’ by for groceries later, I’ll pick up the ingredients for whatever ya want.”

You hum. “No, it’s okay…”

“O-Okay.” His brows furrow for a moment but he moves on, splashing his face and going about his routine.

“Do you know how much longer you’ll be?”

“Uhhhm…” He laughs into his hands and dries his face before turning to look at you face to face. “Like, five minutes? Why?”

“It’s nothing, I just wanna take a shower, ‘s all.” You’re still holding onto him, but your eyes dart away when you speak to him.

“Oh.” He pauses. “Am I in your way?”

You shake your head and smile. “No, why?”

“It’s just—you can get in the shower now, if you want. If you’re in a rush.”

“I’m not.”

“Then why d’you want me outta here?”

“Carm,” you start, a hushed voice, “I have to take my clothes off…”

He pauses again, looks you in the eye with a confused expression, stopping what he’s doing to face you with his whole body, his hands resting on the backs of your arms. “Is somethin’ wrong? Did I do somethin’?”

“No.” Your tone is light enough to keep him confused.

“You jus’ want me to head out for a few?”

You nod slowly. “I just…want some privacy.”

“Oh.” He pouts. “Okay.” His thumbs brush tenderly along your skin, and he presses a kiss to your forehead. “You feelin’ okay, baby?” He’s using that tone—the one that’s sickly sweet and doting, the one that has your knees weak and brain turning to mush. “You don’t want me t’see you?”

“Not right now, ‘m sorry—”

“Hey, it’s—it’s okay.” Another gentle kiss against your forehead. “Do you—is there…” He struggles for the right question. “Could you tell me why, at least?”

You try to push away from his hold. “It’s embarrassing, Carm—”

“Uh-uh—” He shakes his head and pulls your right back. “No it’s not, baby, you can tell me.”

“Just forget about it, it’s stupid—”

He brings a hand to your jaw and holds it firm so you can’t turn away. “Hey.” 

Tears start pooling in your eyes, and you keep your gaze away from his as your lip quivers. 

“C’mon, talk to me, baby.” His free hand smooths over your hair, brushing it away from your forehead. “What’s got you all worked up, hm?”

“I just…” Your throat becomes sore, and a few stray tears spill from the corners of your eyes, quickly brushed away by Carmen’s callused fingertips. “I just don’t look good right now…”

“What’s that? You don’t look good?” His eyes dart from your bleary eyes to your streams of tears to your shaky lips, and his heart shatters. “Baby—”

“I told you it was stupid—” Your voice cracks when you say it.

“Oh, c’mere…” Carmen pulls you into his chest, offering a lighthearted scoff as he takes in your words. His arms wrap snug around you, one hand smoothing up and down your back while the other stays at the back of your neck, the fingers scratching your scalp gently as he holds you close. “You’re so beautiful, baby, don’t say stuff like that…”

“I just feel gross, Carmen, ‘m sorry…”

He squeezes you a little tighter, takes a deep breath to keep himself from shedding any tears of his own. “Shhh, don’t apologize, you’re okay…you’re okay…” Pressing kisses into the crook of your neck, he repeats those words as his mantra: You’re so beautiful, you’re okay, you’re so perfect, baby, it’s okay…

In his arms like this, it doesn’t take long to calm down again; his hands and arms soothe you, and what’s more is the fact that Carmen of all people—as stubborn as he is about verbalizing everything—keeps his voice a soft coo as he pulls you back out of your worries. When he feels your breathing slow and your chest have a steady rise and fall, he loosens his grip to see your face.

You pout up at him still.

“Baby…” He kisses you anyway. “You’re so beautiful, c’mon.” His hands come to hold your face tenderly, thumbs brushing along your cheekbones to rid them of those damned tears. 

“You’re just saying that because you have to.”

He laughs at that, a smile blossoms on his face to show dimples as his head reads back. “ ‘Cause I have to? You’re goin’ crazy, y’know that, right?”

“Stop it.” You try to pout, and your mind still aches with insecurity, but your cheeks still begin to flex with a bit of a sappy grin.

“Uh-uh, you’re so fuckin’ gorgeous, baby.” He peppers kisses all over your face, gentle and slow and delicate the way he always takes care of you. “ ‘N you’re all mine…so, so pretty, I’m so lucky to be with you…”

“Stop it, Carmy,” you whine, giggling against his lips all the same when he takes yours in a kiss. “Okay, I get it, I get it.”

One more kiss for the hell of it, one that has you pulling him a little closer as your knees turn wobbly, one that has him smiling into your mouth and wondering how he ended up with you, ending with his forehead resting against yours. 

“I love you, okay?” he whispers, and even though it’s not typical of him to say it first, in his chest he knows he should.

You nod, and all his praise makes your head swim. “I know. I love you.”

“And, uh, I can—” he clears his throat— “I can still get outta here if you want me to—? Make you breakfast while you shower, yeah?" A hand runs down to your waist. "I want you to be comfortable.”

“Actually—” you loop your arms around his neck— “I was thinking…you could keep me company?”

You don’t think you’ve ever seen him smile so wide, jaw slack and brows raised. “Yeah?”

“Mhmmm…it’ll make me comfortable…” 

And he does exactly that: keeps you comfortable and in the moment, undresses you slowly, worships every part of you with kisses and with high praise. He handles you gently and with so much adoration running through his veins that by the time he’s done with you, dressing you and serving you your breakfast with a peck to your cheek, you don’t have to think twice about how much he loves you.

feelin' real sappy rn

[equalseleventhirds]

i hope you'll excuse me while i wax poetic about welcome to night vale, bcos i'm feelin sappy abt it rn and it's late and i am. emotions. u kno.

bcos when i first started listening to wtnv, it felt like coming home, in a way that actually physically going home never did. bcos i was isolated and strange then--yes, bcos i was young and newly figuring out my queerness and cecil helped me feel better about that, but also like

i felt strange, you know? like god yeah i know i'm not special, but i struggled with fitting in. had weird interests. head in the clouds. dressed funny. talked funny. at weird food no one else liked. didn't get social cues. did strange things, had unusual behaviors or movements or whatever. got called annoying and weird a lot. couldn't keep hold of friends, or a home, or a job, for a while, sometimes bcos they left me and sometimes bcos i left them for not very good reasons. cycled through different ones regularly, until i lost them. had dreams too big and unreachable, and tried my best to settle for what i could reach, even if i didn't love it, and still couldn't quite hold on.

and ok yeah some of that was neurodivergence (undiagnosed), and some of it was queerness, and some of it was cultural stuff goin on, and some of it was just that like, i was in my early 20s and moved far away from home without much in the way of support, right

but night vale took weirdness--my kind of weirdness, or other kinds of weirdness, spooky or horrifying or just deeply deeply strange--and embraced it. made it normal. made it all the same, all accepted. i felt like that was a place i would be allowed to be myself, because who cares if you dress weird or talk weird or whatever when there's five-headed dragons and angels and monster librarians? and what better place to put too-big-too-unreachable-too-odd-to-be-real dreams than somewhere like night vale, where big unreachable odd dreams are part of everyday life?

and through it all cecil speaking soothingly in my ears as i went about my uncomfortable, unfitting daily life, telling me things about community and togetherness and hope amidst the endless trials and void. of course that was the voice i listened to all the time. of course.

the first time i stopped listening to wtnv, it did sort of coincide with some big changes in my life, but more than that: i had become afraid that night vale would be un-weirded. some characters in canon had started to question some of what had previously been standard in town, and they were around some anniversaries, and i was, actually, pretty used to a lot of 'big magic adventure' media that ended with the heroes going home to mundanity, the lesson being about growing up or whatever. and i was so afraid that night vale would do that and take that away from me, so i drifted away and found other things.

and then i did go back and started listening again, and they never did any of that. they had some arcs about accountability, about changing old traditions for better ones, about examining beliefs, but never in a way that took away night vale's weirdness. there was always more, newer, better weirdness to come. and i fell in love with the show all over again.

(the second time i stopped listening was just bcos i was too busy, and i rly have just a handful of episodes to catch back up on. but even when i left, night vale was still there, waiting, ready to welcome me back.

i'm doing a little better with life and stuff now, made better friends, got a better home, found a better job, learned about myself a bit more, started chasing some of those big dreams and damn but i'm doin ok at it. but still night vale is a comfort and a joy to me, a strange little home i love.)

[chocotonez]

Hiii! I love your reactions <3 Can I request skz reaction to their s/o doing something for them that just kinda makes them realize how much they love their s/o? (Feelin kinda like crap rn i need some fluff) Like for example rushing to comfort them when theyre having a bad day or sticking up for them or smth sappy like that that makes them go "wait a damn minute im in love"

thank u so much for ur patience I’m so sorry this took so long!! I Hope this was okay and you’re feeling lots better <3

[stinkrascal]

[skelemira]

@circuitofficial if I hadn't commented on your fic

@queeniesdomain if I hadn't complimented your hair clip

@lemon-lucid if I hadn't gotten up the courage to message

Then I wouldn't have some my best friends <3333

it’s nuts that the way you meet people that will be in your life for a long time can be so circumstantial and random like if i hadn’t bumped into you that one time you just wouldn’t have been in my life for years to come. unreal that connections can come from anywhere and any accidental happenstance can change your life for the better

[hylfystt]
