Leverage headcannon I just came up with:
Parker has licked every member of the team, invoking the ancient rule, "I licked it; now it's mine."
Because Parker does not have the same physical restraint in interaction that other people do. You can see this when she's interacting with, for example, Elliot or Hardison. Which is instrumental in my assumption that they are a trio.
She also does this with diamonds she's stolen.
#I can't say ot3#because the other trio I love#is Bootsie Collins Macy Gray and Norman Cook#leverage#headcannon

when Keiko gets really mad at Miles she'll go recruit Julian to her cause and tell him "we're not talking to him until he apologizes" and Julian- who cannot say no to Keiko and who also loves to fuck with Miles- agrees to it every single time and it drives Miles absolutely INSANE
#star trek: ds9#keiko o'brien#julian bashir#miles o'brien#ot3: o'briens + 1#Miles thinks he'll have peace at him and Julian's regular holosuite date#then he gets a message from Julian that says 'Keiko says I can't talk to you. see you after you apologize <3' and he throws his PADD#sometimes when Miles is REALLY wrong Keiko and Julian will go recruit Kira to their cause#one time they got Sisko involved#Julian will even do this when Keiko is dead wrong btw he supports women's rights AND women's wrongs#and who's gonna tell Keiko shes wrong? him? absolutely not

I see you like AppleRadio as much as RadioStatic, is there by any chance any good stories with them as an OT3 👀 (Look at me trying to take the easy way 😂)
It's time for me to come clean. It's time I was honest with myself and all of you 😔
Here is my truth.
I actually have a very hard time shipping OT3's. Unless my fav character is getting the most attention in the polyship, then I don't want it. I get jealous and offended on my pookie's behalf.
That's right. I'm the possessive, cringy tik-tok boyfriend. If my fav isn't the center of attention--if any other character slips between them and their partner and shows the other person more attention-- my little heart can't take it.
That being said, I have come across a few Lucifer/Vox/Alastor fics 👀 I don't think I saved them--they didn't fit my taste--but I gave them a try.
However, considering everything I just said, I'm not above giving the OT3 a read when I come across it. Really, I'm fine with any tropes, ratings, or concepts that are explored fanfics, and I like giving them a read, it's just a matter of how they're written that determines whether or not I bookmark the fic or click out of it.
If anyone does have any Lucifer/Alastor/Vox fics out there, both Anon and I would love to see them! If my cringy, possessive little ass can't handle my pookie not being the center of attention, then I shall quietly exit through stage left and try something else.
#ot3's can be fun tho#it really is just how they're written#i can be very picky when it comes to the fanfics i read#and im not saying that to be snooty or anything#its annoying#if there is even the SLIGHTEST thing off or the smallest detail that I don't like then I can't keep reading#I've tried#my god i've tried#but it always takes my enjoyment out of the story#if Alastor isn't getting all the attention in this OT3 then what's the POINT T.T#LMAO#but I do like giving things a try#I would like any fic recs if anyone has any#hazbin hotel#alastor#hazbin alastor#the radio demon#hazbin hotel alastor#asks#anon#anonymous#lucifer morningstar#lucifer magne#Appleradio#radioapple#staticradio#radiostatic#staticapple#applestatic#radiostaticapple

Been listening to the rwby books. After the Fall wasn't too terrible, but jesus fuck Before the Dawn is a lesson in frustration. What is Myers' beef with Sun and why was it allowed to assassinate his character?
#rwde#myers writing style is so antithetical to my own that im foaming at the mouth w every sentence#i sincerely hope his other books arent this painful but his website doesnt give me much hope#'including the award winning' *lists every book he's written w no indication that only two of them actually won awards*#apparently the andre norton award is for middle grade/young adult books which puts his prose in perspective#but i wonder why this guy was chosen to write for rwby? what abt him made the cut that others didnt?#or is this another case of nepotism?#hard to say since i can't find much info on him. good on him for keeping his privacy but im a nosy bitch so gimme the deets lol#either way his writing is dry and tedious and i might make a whole post abt it#tho i will say that the character interactions between yatsuhashi velvet and fox are supremely fun#new ot3 just dropped#coco can go fuck herself. she's the worst part of both these books by far. hope she gets eaten again

HI this is a really dumb question but why do you think Lois wouldn't be a wingman to superbat? from what I've seen she's married to Clark and still ships the two of them (also I love the three of them and think they should have a threesome so I might be biased in my interpretation of them)
#answers#Anonymous#if you haven't heard of ''fandom turns female characters into supporting props for m/m ships'' before.#congrats but also DAMN thats a big rock you live under#now. because i know people on here can't read. i am NOT saying you can't ship an ot3 or whatever#i AM saying that often m/m shippers have a history of relegating female characters to the sidelines#and stripping them of any actual complex thoughts feelings or agency about the men they are canonically in relationships with#aka ''oh teehee she ships them!!!! XD'' to get around the idea of her having any actual feelings#but anyway i dont have the patience for this today sorry i have shit going on

What’re your favorite kh ships?
If I'm being honest... I really only true ship SoKai these days (my forever OTP). Mainly because I feel like that's the only one I can really ever see actually being canon (well, aside from Yozora and Nameless Star, and I also ship them: a lot of that for Versus XIII reasons. My heart won't let go). And, I mean, not that a ship needs to be canon for me to ship them. Not at all. But I'll admit that I've grown out of some of the KH ships a wee bit, as I've found more adult ones in other fandoms to get invested one.
That being said, the KH ships that I do still care about are:
SoKai
RokuShi
Namiku
RokuNami
Terqua (though it seem these days the kids call it Terrqua. Or Terraqua?)
Gulava
Skulmera
Playerlitzia
YozoraNameless Star
Xehaqus
AkuSai
SoRiKai
RiKai
Roxiri (though not in canon. More in fanon. More for crack, kind of, actually. And friendship first and foremost)
I'm warming up to Replinami some these days, because of the tragedy of it all.
I've also started to warm up to Rion a wee bit... that past Shanna thought she'd never see.
SoNami in CoM only.
I could do XionRoxasNaminé. NamiXI, too.
VenAqua slightly, but I'd always choose Terra and Aqua over it (but one thing about the Wayfinder Trio for me, if I'm being truthful, is that I prefer the three of them as friends before any romance with any of them. Part of me even really thinks all three of them are truly just meant to be friends.)
A lot of people ship Ven and Strelitzia for some reason. And I doubt it'll ever happen, tbh. Who knows if they'll ever even really get a chance to meet and be friends. But I do get why they think it'd be cute.
And while I don't know if I truly ship them anymore, a part of me will always have a soft spot for Ventus and Naminé. Because for some reason, I really used to ship this crack pairing, back in the day.
I also don't really know if I ship them... but despite what I said above, I do get the feeling that Nomura might be doing something with Lauriam/Marluxia and Elrena/Larxene.
#i used to LOVE vanaqua and vannami. and some of my heart probably always will for that reason (mainly the former). but for the most part i#think i'm over it#i also used to ship ephemer and ava a tiny bit. but i'd pick gulava any day#i also used to get into olette pairings. but tbh. i just can't really be bothered anymore#i also used to somewhat ship ira and invi because of that comment in back cover about them having to see each other less now so the others#wouldn't get the wrong idea (because taken out of context it sounds like they're dating). or aced and invi because they reminded me (and#everyone) of terra and aqua. but i was never really serious about those to begin with and have let them go. -shrugs-#really. at the end of the day. it's sokai. forever and always: sokai#asked and answered#and really the main ones for me are sokai rokushi namiku rokunami and terqua#but mostly sokai -i say. sounding like a broken record-#and while we're mentioning everything (because somehow that's what this post turned into) i used to be big on larxel (like khii days)#but not for many--MANY--years#wait. i do like gulava a lot too. and rikai. because riku and kairi--in whatever form they're in--don't get enough love#there's also a tiny bit of me that ot3s eraqusxehanortvor. xehaqus is the otp and they're perfect together: i know and agree with this#and yet they have an interesting dynamic with vor. i feel like before dark road started they were the SLIGHTEST bit of a trio. not truly#because xehanort and eraqus still spent way more time together but it was there a little bit#and it's interesting to me that eraqus. of all people. gets annoyed at vor snooping on them some at the beginning of dark road#before the game came out if you told me something like that would have happened i would have guessed it was xehanort. but nah. it's eraqus#and xehanort moreso telling him to chill and letting vor tag along (and the eraqus thing wasn't really serious. and more in good fun#because he DOES care about her). and then they're both DEVASTATED when she dies. and vor really cared about them#also a slight ot3 with xehanorteraqusurd because despite what i just said about vor it's URD they spend the most time with in dark road and#i like their dynamic with her too. -shrugs-#vanikai a smidge back in the day

okay. okay okay. so i just finished s1 of shadow and bone and started s2 (tho so far im only one episode in). and what can i say except im really into it? and also i now have a lot of feelings.
first of all i appreciate alina and mal being young and also naturally a bit naive but also not stupid? when they accused each other of not sending or reading the letters and then just, you know, talked and hugged it out instead of drawing out the drama? really neat. i love it. love seeing some healthy understanding. babies. and can i just say how graciously mal accepted the fact that alina was very obviously isolated and manipulated and didn’t blame her for it one bit? yeah. that hit me in the feels when i did not expect it bc frankly i mostly started watching it after seeing some unhinged kaz gifs.
and, uhhh. kaz. ouch and also wow. he’s now my son who has 72 mental illnesses and is banned from most public spaces. my man has committed murder fraud burglary and probably arson and looks like he hasn’t had a minute of good sleep in about at least seven years give or take a few months. he’s a badass he’s canonically disabled he’s a criminal he’s a poor little meow meow he’s a bastard he’s a traumatized kid in a neat little hat. love him. he needs all the hugs and can’t get one.
and can i just say that inej is so goddamn pretty? bc she is. knife wife. not to take away from her character and her own trauma. she’s badass before everything else. her killing the inferni that was about to fry kaz? breathtaking beautiful amazing. and yeah i can’t shut up about kaz but showing on screen that the cane is not just for show and cool points but a legitimate walking aid for him that he experiences chronic pain without is so. good. chef’s kiss. the way their relationship progresses hnnnngg. i believe in you. i’m not leaving you. good god. please let them just hold hands.
also. nina and matthias broke my heart. crying screaming throwing up. why couldn’t they get a happy ending. it was either court marshal for matthias or for nina and hell they looked so fucking happy and content eating waffles that for a moment i forgot their countries were actively at war. why. i choose to believe that in my head they’re together and free. nina’s banter with matthias was super sweet and you can see the moment it changes from hostile and acerbic to genuinely playful and this is tearing my heart out all over again.
also genya totally deserved better.
#i have more feelings but yall are getting this for now#bc#godDamn#this is Good#getting the kaz brain rot#there's so much whump potential#and ive just seen him getting a flashback from touching other people in that stadguard wagon#my heart!!#the way he just flinches and tries to shrink away but he can't bc its too cramped#and the moment jesper realizes that something is genuinely wrong and immediately demands that they stop#and he calls him kaz not boss#can you say ot3#kaz inej and jes mmmmhhhhmm#platonic soulmates?#found family but they're all terrible#im into this#also fedyor and ivan are genuinely adorable#it's three am i really should be in bed but instead im here#shadow and bone#peaches speaking#rambling

-->Fortunately, Smiler already had some medicine on them, so all I had to do was give some to Victor and have him down it. ...Along with Smiler, as apparently THEY were sick too, just in a somewhat less visible way. Sheesh, poor things... Anyway, Alice got the camera set back up as Rory went to go play in the spilled trash by the front porch (making me go "if you ruin this shot Rory so help me Will Wright") --
And THEN we got some good trio pictures! :D I made sure to take a variety of picture sizes and orientations to go with their various poses. I definitely love some of the goofier ones you can do -- I just wish the third person wasn't standing off to the side like that so much! Bunch in a little closer there, please!
-->With the photos taken, and the main goal fulfilled, all that was left to do was to fulfill Talk Like A Pirate Day by chatting to their friends! Rory and Clement were both jamming by the phonograph, so the trio joined them, Smiler showing off their sweet moves while Alice talked with Rory and Victor with Clement. Weirdly enough, while Smiler had managed to fulfill the "talk like a pirate" traditions at the dinner table, and Victor managed to fulfill them with a bit of hand-holding with Alice (not sure WHY that counts, but okay game), Alice just could not complete that golden check no matter what she did. The party eventually wound down before she could do so, and she dragged herself off to bed as the guests left and Victor and Smiler took some time to squeal over how adorable the kittens were --
And as it turns out, going to sleep is what finally fulfilled the tradition for her. Because both the "sleep" and "nap" options were written in pirate-speak and thus counted. Okay, game. XD
-->However, fulfilling Talk Like A Pirate Day was definitely not my main goal today -- throwing a gold-level family reunion was! And with my love of taking pictures in the game, I easily succeeded in that goal. So, as the guests headed out, I claimed my prize --
New picture frame collages! :D Yes, if you have a good family reunion, you unlock some new collage frames that you can use for all your various photos! And you guys know that I need my collage frames, given how many freaking photos are hanging around the Valicer farmhouse. XD I already knew I wanted to use the "one large, three little, all landscape" collage for some of the wedding shots -- specifically the three of them standing together looking super romantic and the three selfie shots -- and I decided that the other two could be used for the actual family reunion snaps! The stacked trio for the various selfies they'd taken with their friends, and the group of four for my favorite shots from their porch photo shoot. Plus one bonus medium-sized picture just because. XD You guys all know I can't resist a good Van Liddelton shot!
-->And so the day ended with me rearranging all their pictures and photographs to find wall space for the new frames; Smiler deactivating the bots in the greenhouse and making sure the chickens were well-fed before putting some hatchable eggs in the coop to incubate; and Victor playing with Surprise before kicking some creepy hands apart in the barn. *nods* A good Saturday for the OT3! But next week, it's time to start working on the store again, as I am SO CLOSE to getting all those damn shelves filled...
#sims 4#the lazy save#victor van dort#alice liddell#smiler always#hey look it's me taking too many pictures of my OT3 again XD#what can I say I love them and I want all the pictures#I would like them to stand a LITTLE closer together though#like properly bunch up for real OT3ish shots#ah well can't have everything#well unless I get a pose mod but#let's wait until the next patch#and yes Alice just could NOT fulfill Talk Like A Pirate Day through actual talking#but going to bed? Yup that did the trick#I get that it's to help Sims that might not be very social to complete the holiday#but Sims 4 you still be weird#and yes look at my nice new frames :D#I knew that big one would be perfect for a wedding shot#and the three stacked ones were genuinely perfect for those reunion selfies!#and now I can use these frames whenever I want#maybe I can find some other places to use them around the house#should probably also try the Moschino animated frames which cycle between pictures#we'll figure out the picture situation eventually! XD#queued

Any house md fans that also read Cassandra Clares clockwork series? Because huddson (House, Cuddy, Wilson) reminded me of that dynamic quite a bit. House loves two people in his life, one he can love and spend a "lifetime" with, as Wilson dies from cancer. And the other, whom he can love and finish his life with after Wilson's gone.
Neither one is loved less and they both led their own lives, of course, but for better and mostly worse, they revolve around each other.
#i could go into more detail but id need to reread the series#those books were the first time i saw an ot3 of any kind actually work out and it wasnt even polyamorous really#but the two guys were best friends closer than close due to their bond as warriors#and tessa comes along and they all just fall in love with each other#jem has his illness thats going to take him away from them#and will has his rejection fears and difficulty talking about feelings#and tessa cant die... can't remember why or how but she just doesnt die#and somehow it all worked out for them to all be happy together#amazing#in my head cuddy finds house after wilsons death because she just knows wilson didnt go travelling alone#right after house apparently died#and she finds him heart shattered but this time its shattered wide open and able to be mended#and shes in her fourties and she has a daughter shes been raising by herself while working at another hospital#but despite how all reason says its not worth it shes always had impossible expectations#she and rachel choose to spend their lives with him because he's different now#since he ran out of vicodin during wilsons increasing pain hes forced himself through withdrawal#and he doesnt have the stress of patient care anymore to make his leg ache worse than it always does#hes not happier necessarily but more present in life maybe he thinks ten steps ahead but he doesnt worry about it#house md#lisa cuddy#gregory house#james wilson#hilson#huddy

Here I must be careful. I have well over 200 men unaccounted for. Those who remain, it will be very hard to explain to them why, with all I have to attend to, I choose to stand here hanging onto the fate of just one of them. I know that you and he had been working closely together of late, become friends even. I don't know what I'm trying to say. Perhaps just that... he is my friend, too.
-James Flint (love confession)
Bonus, cut to Silver and Madi being 'friends':

me @ me hey are you good? you’ve been listening to your post-campaign healing playlist for the last five hours
#the thing is T-T bee went through hell did her trauma shit got all the worst of it right at the end#and then took four years putting herself back together getting a new heart realizing she can't just be a tool for violence AND#getting a new haircut before rolling back up to the knightly order the other two parts of the ot3 formed in her absence#unsure of her welcome only to be met with open arms and an open door. and flowers grow in her hair now. if you even care#sword with a broken crown#beatrice pyre you are THE vengeance paladin of all time#beatrice pyre sees an altar and says guess i'll lay down on it. surely when i get up i will not be changed#she had to get THERAPY from a BEAR

Hello everyone,
I'm Ahmed, living far from my family who are going through the hardest time of their lives. They are displaced in tents that offer no protection from the cold or the summer heat. Even getting water is a struggle for them. On top of that, they face rockets and shells being fired at them while they are in their tents.
I can't describe the feeling I had when I woke up to the news that last night the occupation dropped tons of explosives on the displaced people's tents while they were asleep. They were buried under the sand by barrel bombs. The news says entire families have been wiped off the face of the earth. Then I pick up my phone to check on my family. I call my father, no signal. I call my mother, no signal. Do you know the panic and fear I live through every moment worrying about my family?
I can't do much from here, but you can be a helping hand. Your donation and sharing of this message might give them a chance to survive and possibly help them leave Gaza as soon as possible.
Every minute of your time and every share of this story could make a huge difference in my family's lives. Please help me do what we can to support my family and alleviate their suffering.

Ancha I mean this in literally every possible positive way, this is what I'm doing with this drabble rn (I love it dearly and mere words or keyboard smash cannot describe the way I am going feral over it)
Gifted drabble - New Age Au - The Eye of the Storm
Hey @spotaus !! I am back as I told you I would be because you gave me MORE brainworms! Remember us talking about the magic system? or me just yapping and rambling about it hahah.
And the thing you mentioned about how Geno would react to seeing Dust's storm? Yeah. Brainworms.
Either way. It can all still be changed as Spotaus and I discuss the magic system and how everything works.
So warning? ish? Deep intimacy by showing the soul. reference to past toxic relationship ship is DustedAfterDeath
This is them FAR beyond their toxic arc youall. They relationship is healthy and full of consent at this point :3
*---------------*
Dust frowns as he stares at the door.
It is fine.
It isn't that big of a deal.
Just get it over with.
Dust sighs as he rubs the soft cotton of his hoody. He is still in his casual wear for now. He had a few days off and he hardly ever wore his uniform on those days nowadays. Especially when Geno and Reaper visit.
He is still a bit unsure about this whole relationship between them. Dust wants to say he fully trusts them but... well... after...
It is hard.
Which is why Dust had decided to just make this jump. Fuck it. Show them the disgusting mess that is his soul and get it over with. They will see it. Be disgusted. Break off whatever this relationship is and be done with it.
Easy.
Dust takes another deep breath as he feels his storm around his soul rumble unhappily. He needs to remain calm. That will keep his storm calm enough to make it safe for them to look at it.
Dust does not want a repeat of the many times he zapped others with lightning. Even a tiny warning zap is stronger than a full blown lightning strike at this point. Dust frowns as he taps the doorknob. Maybe this isn't a good idea after all...
He may have enough control to form actual attacks but actually keeping it calm?
What if he hurts them? They will hate him...
Then again... if they see the mess that his soul is...
Or worse... Dust was right after all and Geno and Reaper just wanted to know how his storm works and it was all still fake. He was being blind again and falling for the exact same trick again.
Then again... they don't know how deeply connected to his soul it is. No one knows aside from Nightmare and his fellow Knights. They don't even speak about that out loud unless they are in a very secure room and know they are alone.
Even with all of Geno's past prodding and hinting Dust never told him that. Even if Dust knew that Geno wanted to know how he had such powerful magic. It was his secret. and Dust had been willing to take it to the grave with him...
Dust offered to show them his soul. Take the next step before they could move their relationship towards soulplay and other acts like it. They didn't know that they would find out the source of his magic...
Which brings him back to this exact point. Wouldn't it be better to just get it over with? If they really are still lying about everything... Wouldn't it be better to know it? To be able to let it go and move on?
Not that Dust thinks he can move on. If he could have he would have after the first mess that this relationship was.
But Dust is aparently an idiot because he is trying this again even if the chance it will hurt is much larger than the chance that this will be alright.
Okay that is not fair. They had been so much more honest about this whole relationship and Geno didn't even mention or ask about his magic since the mess that it had been. He also acutally paid attention to the few things Dust said now...
Then why did he still feel like a speciman? Like a project?
He doesn't like that... Feeling like that. It was why he was fine with being a crimelord before. Why he liked being a knight. No one looked at him with pity when he did either of those. Neither of those positions ever made people look at him like... like... some magical experiment...
His family had meant well... The mage who did this to save his life meant well... but it didn't change the way they looked at him... The worry he would just drop over and be gone. Then later the fear that the magic stabilizing him would just stop working... Then... Then the worry... after he started to cause damage.
Dust glares at the door. Fuck it. Either he is going to prove himself right that they really are still just after information and then he can finally bury these feelings and be done with it all. Or...
Or...
Dust shakes his skull as he pushes the hope down. Don't hope. That gets you hurt.
He knocks on the door and enters as soon as Reaper welcomes him in.
Reaper smiles brightly at him "Dust you are here already. How was your day off?"
Dust shrugs and mutters fine. He hadn't done that much today. Mostly spend time with the horses as he tried to not feel anxious about what he was about to do now.
Reaper keeps smiling "I am happy to hear this." He shoots his mate a look.
Geno looks terrible... mostly because he is obviously anxious and nervous, maybe even uncomfortable.
Dust huffs as he crosses his arms, feeling defensive "You can just say you aren't interested. It was just an idea." It had been Dust's idea after all.
Geno shakes his skull as he messes with soemthing in his lap. Some spell probably. Geno looks nervous "It isn't that i... don't want to... That isn't the issue... It is just... you never seemed comfortable with anything close to this... and then this?" he glances at Reaper.
Reaper picks up easily "Are you sure this is what you are comfortable with?"
Dust shrugs. He isn't. But it is best to get it over with. But the doubt either will like to hear that answer.
Reaper looks fond at him, it makes Dust's soul do this weird little flip thing it is unfair Reaper looks at him like that, "Can you please explain Dust? We wish to understand."
That is something that had surprised Dust. How much they want him to talk or tell them how he feels. Dust finds it unfair. Before Geno didn't even bother to listen to the few things Dust did talk about and now he pays attention? It is just so different. Dust isn't sure how to feel about it. It is nice but it also means he has to explain things he can't quite explain.
Dust searches for the right words "I want... you two to see... it." it. That is the best way to explain the storm.
Geno looks bothered as he loosk up "Why call your soul it?"
Dust shakes his skull. It isn't normal. It isn't healthy... This is dumb. They will both just be disgusted and then this little nice thing will be ruined forever.
Dust shrugs "It is hard to explain..." he decides to echo some words back "Open communication and honesty or something... Soul is not the... healthiest." there.
Reaper looks super worried as Geno looks slightly more horrified. Ugh. Yeah. that is what Dust figured. He tugs on his hood to enable himself to hide more. He wishes he still had his mask.
Reaper shakes his skull "No no love. Nothing against you... But is it safe for you then? To even summon and show your soul?" he looks worried. Geno keeps his mouth shut but he shoots both Dust and Reaper looks.
It is now or never.
Dust sighs as he takes a seat on the bed and shoots them both a look "Well?" and he waits. His hands feels the soft silky sheets on the bed. It calms him. The bed feels like the bed in his own room. Even though he prefers his cotten and woolen stuff. He keeps rubbing the sheets with his fingers as his two boyfriends take their own seats.
Both wait and share a look.
Geno grins a bit "Want me to show my soul first?"
Dust shakes his soul. He does not need to see a healthy soul before he shows his mangled one. Dust will just lose the nerve. Geno looks bothered but doesn't offer again.
Dsut takes another deep breath. Tugs his scarf higher and his hood closer around his skull before slowly tugging at this very core.
And there it is.
Dust always thought it was like a cloud. Just in a weird soul shape all around his actual soul. The tiny malnourished one that never was able to grow fully. The magic and his actual soul work well and seem to connect with tiny bolts of lightning. Dust doesn't even feel it anymore. So used to the constant zapping emitted to his very being... The zaps outwards obviously at much more harmful. as Dust can channel those into actual attacks.
He is not looking at either of them as he waits. Just because he is willing to hear it doesnt mean he wants to see the disgust and horror on their faces...
"It is beautiful..." Geno whispers and Dust can't help but snap up slightly to check. Geno is just staring with open awe at the mess that is his core. Geno doesn't even seem to notice it as he slowly reaches a hand out.
Dust moves the cloud away "Don't touch it!" he stresses it.
Geno blinks and looks confused before seeing his hand "oh shit! sorry. I didn't... i wasn't thinking... I swear i didn't... i wouldnt!" he looks anxious as he holds both arms behind his back.
Dust frowns as hekeeps looking at Geno "I mean it... I can't exactly... control it... It will zap you full force... I already fried Cross once and that was a non-lethal hit... I don't think it will like it if you get that close..."
Geno frowns but Reaper is the one who speaks "It? Why do you refer to the magic as an it?" He seems curious as he looks at the soul and spell. Seemingly enchanted.
Dust frowns as he looks at it "I... well... I tend to just call it my storm... as that is pretty much it..."
Geno seems nervous "I euh... Just so you know you can just tell me to stuff it... But... euh... why is there a very complex spell around your soul?" He looks at Dust and waits.
Dust frowns at him. He knows their question would come. It was to be expected. He looks at the spell and settles on telling the truth "It is my life support system."
Reaper jumps upright "What?" he glances at Geno "Is that normal?"
Geno looks horrified "No? Magic is too... unstable and unpredictable? Which mage... who would... why?" he sputters and seems shocked.
Dust feels more uncertain as he ducks his skull more into his scarf. It isn't that he is surprised but it still hurts... why does it still hurt so much? He knew this was going to happen.
He holds his storm closer as the rumbling in it intensifies with his own shaking emotions. This was a mistake. He recalls both and the soul and storm disappear.
That seems to snap Reaper and Geno out of their slight moment or horror and panic as they shoot him glances.
Geno inhales sharply as he reaches out "Wait! Sorry. Fuck I am sorry. I didn't mean anything negative i swear! I just don't understand. It is fine! It looked beautiful!" He smiles.
Dsut shrugs and mutters "It is fine... it is disgusting... i know..." He wants to leave. He wants to go to his room and cry a bunch... he tugs his scarf higher as he pushes back into his hood. He wants his mask. He wants to hide.
Geno shakes his skull "No. It really is gorgeous i swear! Like a geode!"
That causes him to pause and shoot Geno an disbelieving look "A geode?" the absolute absurb nature of that has to be commented on. A geode?!
Geno nods "Of course it does it is so obvious."
Dsut just raises a brow at him "Really?"
Geno nods with a stubborn tilt "summon it again! I will point it out." he holds up his hands "No touching! Just pointing."
Dust frowns but slowly brings the mess out again.
Geno grins as he scoots a bit closer before beginning to talk "Okay. It is really cool and pretty. Your soul itself is obviously the very center. Everything around it is like the geode itself protecting your soul. The crystalized minerals just barely touching your soul and that makes the colouring probably! The little crystals are all slightly differently forming and shaping and growing. Reforming new connections and growths." Geno points and motions towards the cloud nearest his soul "Around that sits the metaphorical layer of stone protecting it!" when he speaks about that he motions towards the very outer layer of his cloud.
Dust rolls his eye lights "How do you explain the zaps of electricity going outwards?" Like his storm knows waht he wants it makes a tiny zap.
Instead of looking confused Geno just gasps and stares "Holy that is beautiful... It is like... the start of anew crystal growing! It is so beautiful."
Reaper looks curiously at Dust "how do you see it?"
Dust looks to the side "You know... a storm cloud? obviously?" because it is? At least Dust thought that.
Reaper hums as he looks at it curiously "I can see both... though I think it looks more like..." and he stops.
Geno looks curiously at Reaper "what do you see?"
Reaper looks slightly embarrassed "Lets keep it at a gem and a beautiful cloud... that is much more romantic." and he smiles.
Dust tilts his skull "Come on. Tell."
Reaper sighs but stares at the soul and cloud around it with a gentle smile "It is... Sea urchin."
Geno snorts as Dust blinks confused. He had heard of those animals before but never actually seen one.
Reaper chuckles "Yes yes love. laugh it up." he looks amused.
Dust shoots him a look before looking at his soul and storm "why?"
Reaper hums and speaks slowly "Well... it is like a protective shell isn't it? Your soul is safely tugged away within the center. Where it is safe and protected by the larger shell around it." he motions towards the cloud before motioning towards the everlasting zaps "And the spines to protect the treasure that lays hidden."
Dust frowns at his soul. He never... He never thought about his soul as either of those things... His soul was just the mangled thing... while his storm was the thing powering him and keeping him whole.
Not the center of a crystal cluster thing... Not something that had a shield and spikes to protect it...
Geno scoots over and looks curiously "Why... why is that magic there? if you are okay with me knowing... It is okay if you are not..."
Dust frowns "I told you... life support..."
Reaper sits nearby "How came it to be like that?"
Dust shrugs as he messes with the magic around his soul. It doesn't harm him in the least "I wasn't exactly... healthy... When i was younger. Never was. Had no energy. Hardly any magic. I am pretty sure the doctors told my folks i wasn't even meant to survive for longer than a year... but I managed... until i was suposed to start puberty."
Geno frowns as he nods "It is when our magic and souls start to truly develop."
Dust nods "I don't.. I don't know exactly what was wrong. They never told me in details. I just know that suddenly it burned and hurt... turns out the magic that was starting to develop was kinda... burning my soul out. My soul was too weak to keep up wiht the growth it needed to help support me." He frowns "I remember many doctors and mages." them all prodding him and mentioning how it was a miracle he had even been alive as he had been. More interested in learning how his magic burned himself than anything. He thinks some of them even asked his parents if he could be a study case. "One of them had an idea... a complex web of spells to help center the magic or something and to use it to power my soul... That was at least how it was explained to me after i started to feel better."
Geno shoots upright "Wait! They didn't ask you?!"
Dust snorts "What could you expect? I was hardly awake as it was... Not like I could have given my agreement..." he shrugs "It saved my life..."
Reaper gently takes his hand and kisses it slowly. Dust can see how slow Reaper moves. Probably making sure his own magic doesn't react badly. "It is your soul love... Even if it saved your life it should still have been your choice. As it is your right."
Geno messes with his own hands "That is why... You didn't want to talk about your magic... it isn't a spell that is even meant to attack... It is your soul's whole support system... I am so sorry...." he looks away. ashamed "I know i apologised... before for pushing and everything... I am so sorry I was..." he laughs as he looks down shocked "Pretty much trying to force you to talk about your soul and show it to me? what the hell was wrong with me?"
Dust shrugs "You didn't know..." he tugs his soul back into his actual body and breaths a sigh of relieve.
Reaper frowns at him "Are you okay?"
Dust shrugs "I am fine... Just tired..." He gives a tired grin "It isn't just my suport system for my soul... My soul can't exactly make the magic and energy i need. It barely makes enough for my soul itself."
Geno stares in shock "Everythign... the spell pwoers everything about you? How..." he freezes and stops "Wait. Sorry. It isn't... it is interesting but you don't need to... I mean yes i want to know but." he glares down frustrated.
Reaper still holds his hand as he rubs the back of Dust's hand "I think what Geno means to ask is... How is it possible? How is the spell still there? In my experience spells don't last long. I know my magic is about momental protection. Not a constant force."
Dust looks at them for a moment. They don't... they don't stare at him like those mages and doctors. there is worry. but they also keep holding him. keep being near. They aren't afraid of him...
Dust figures if they haven't pulled away in disgust yet... All he risks now is his trust being betrayed which wouldn't be the first time.
Dust rubs his neck "From what i udnerstand... The weather powers it. Natural rain, hail, wind... actually everything connected to storms power it..."
Geno blinks in awe "Your storm... That is why you call it your storm and a cloud... because it is... wow..." he jsut continues to stare with open awe "It is powered by an outside constant force... adn that powers you..." he frowns "Should you be throwing lightning around then?"
Dust looks around confused "euh?"
Geno gives him a bit of a glare "I mean it. Is it even healthy for you to be throwing lightning around? Waht if you run out." more anxious and stress on his face.
Dust nods "It is fine... I before couldn't even pick when it happened. it just happened. At most i give it a target." he grins a tiny bit "there is a reason that Killer calls the spell i use 'fuck you lightning'... I don't exactly got a lot of other spells..."
Reaper chuckles and nuzzles Geno "Calm down love. trust him. He knows himself and his magic best. If he thinks it is fine it is fine."
Geno shoots Reaper a look but takes adeep rbeath and nods "right... right... sorry... i just... don't like how unpredictable it is. How will we know it will keep you safe and healthy if we aren't sure it will manage itself? That it will stop you from shooting to much lightning?" he rubs his hands "I also used to overuse my own magic. As magic rarely gives you a warning you are running out until you are almost completely out."
Dust just listens to the other. He... he isn't even asking about how he can control or replicate it. How he can use it. All geno is worried about is it somehow getting unbalanced...
The fear slowly disappears...
Which is when his body decides to make it very obvious it does not appreciate Dust removing his storm from his body. He yawns and feels his socket becoe heavier. Yeah. he expected as much.
Geno looks panicked as Reaper rubs his back "Are you alright?"
Dust shrugs as he rubs the sleep from his sockets "I am fine. Body doesn't appreciate me removing my soul for a long time. Just need to give it time to settle and calm down."
Reaper hums as he pulls Dust slowly against him "You can rest. thank you for trusting us with this love." a soft kiss to his skull as Dust lounges against Reaper. Reaper's clothes are always warm and brimmed with magic. reinforced to make sure Reaper's deadly magic doesn't get through if he is stressed. It makes for a very soft living pillow.
Geno meanwhile is muttering about maybe making a tiny sensor. Just to give Dust a warning signal in case his magic levels get dangerously low. Just as an extra warning and protection for him. Reaper chastises Geno gently but Dust isn't paying much attention.
He is exhausted. Physically. Mentally. Emotionally. But it was worth it. Maybe he didn't have to be worried after all.
#Ancha u can't just say 'oh whoopsy it's unrefined' and then throw the most heartwrenching tasty drabble at me like it's nothing!!!!!#i think it helps that this is my ot3 of all time (<- shameless moment) but even if it hadn't been that!!!! augh!!!!!! this is so good!!!!#the beats hit just right! all the worrying from Dust the gentleness from Reaper and Geno- Geno still learning and holding himself back from#being overbearing and showing his regret. the. the !!!!!#the motivation and thoughts of Dust and his obviously bottom of the barrel opinion on himself vs the reactions of the others!!!#and gods I cannot get over the way Geno and Reaper describe the visions!!! and how it reflects them!!!#Geno with the Geode??? THE FUCKING GEODE???? ough it's so smart and poetic and I LOVE Dust's confusion!! because no one's gotten a good look#at it since the Knights+Night and like. the 2 magic users just saw auras (I think Night and Cross have very stereotypical imaginations on#the nature of these things and visualize them similarly-) and no one went into detail because it was brief!!!#and ofc Geno would have this huge complex perspective!#and when I tell you I squeaked with joy at Reaper's characterization this whole time- “Clouds and crystals are much more romantic” my#beloved.... 10/10 line... immediately followed by the announcement of a sea urchin??? it's SO GOOD- I'm gonna sob!!!#and the clear domesticness between Gen + Reaper got me good... Geno laughing about Reaper's take on the spell and the way they bounce from#eachother so nicely?? and-#and I loved the little 'Wanna see mine first?' from Geno and Dust calling it normal because!!! boy you have NO idea!!!!#ohhh they all just make me so weak. Ancha you have theif dynamic down so so well and it was so soft.... them worrying about him and Dust#deciding to trust them only for it to go Right! and the amount of trust they just earned because Dust was then willing-#WILLING TO TAKE A NAP???? Ohhhhh I'm going crazy- oh I love it-#and the lil details too like him fidgeting with the blanket and tugging his scarf and feeling Reaper's cloak??? oughhhhh tasty....#I'm sorry back to the nap thing: One VERY good idea! because leaving his soul out too long really would strain the spell and make him eepy#as he gets more disconnected from it! Two HELLO???? Hello Geno and Reaper's worry immediately followed by Dust deciding he was okay to take#a rest? ohhh my gods.#and I keep thinking of more as I roll it in my brain. the Dust not getting a say in the poking+prodding+choices because he was pretty much#falling down at any given moment? Reaper voicing his support of Dust after it? and Geno with the cute lil idea of a magical heart-monitor??#you wrote this so well!!!!#even if it might be unpolished compared to your normal standard I need you to know I am in awe of it!!! Holding it up above my head#in excitement!!! losing my mind!!! the pacing is so so good and the characterization is on point and the magic system is beautiful!!!!#okay ik this is WAY ahead in the timeline but I still am going to make this scene like. an end-goal lead-up for the plot <3 <3

my friend mohammed haboub needs to reach kr190,000 SEK ($18,345 USD) in 3 days order to evacuate his sister farah, who is in critical condition after being injured in the al-tabieen school massacre. as of september 9, kr157,577 ($15,215) has been raised - ~$3,000 USD to go.
people were kind enough to make large donations today totalling ~3,000 SEK, or around $300 USD, but before that donations stalled out entirely for around 15 hours.
i don't know what there is i can say, it feels impossible to grab people's attention for one minute much less convince them to donate. this campaign is verified. both mohammed and farah were excellent software engineering students before the war, and they deserve the chance to continue their studies. but first they need our help to stay alive, and i am begging you to help.
if you can spare anything, even if it's just $5, please donate. each donation will add up as long as many people donate, but you can't assume someone else will give in your place.
REMEMBER THE CONVERSION RATE: $5 USD ≈ 52 SEK, $10 USD ≈ 103 SEK, please don't donate less than you normally would because you were confused by conversions.
tagging for reach:
(please dm to let me know if you don't want to be tagged in the future)
