#I will continue with the others tomorrow

[sternentreue]

2 and 15 from the codex thing for Firion please!

Finally getting to my huge pile of asks this weekend! Thank you for sending these, I had so much fun with them!!! 🩷

I still haven't decided how Firion feels about the slow burn, if he's just as oblivious or frustrated at some point, so for now I settled on "desperate for feeling loved", oops.

2. An entry from Rook’s journal

A PAGE FROM ROOK'S SECRET JOURNAL

The paper is slightly damp and the ink has run out here and there.

Spite made an appearance today. The others still think he's dangerous and they keep their distance, but I think he's just confused and lonely. Lucanis doesn't pay attention to him and drowns him out. And he tries to hide this side of him from me, more or less successfully. I told him Spite didn't bother me and then something shifted in him. He was so close, I barely remember how it happened, my ears were ringing and my knees almost gave out. My heart is still pounding just thinking about it. But he stopped halfway and left.

I thought he would kiss me. I must have looked like an idiot.

I can't seem to figure him out. One minute he just looks at me, and me alone (maybe that's just wishful thinking), with his big brown eyes that make my stomach turn, and he says these sweet things and makes me snacks in the middle of the night, and the next minute he's being obscure and treats me like an associate.

Did I misread his sweet gestures or have I not shown him enough that I’m interested? Or too much? Sometimes he seems to be uncomfortable with my attempts at flattery. Maybe he's not into men, or elves? Or maybe (illegible) in me as a person. (illegible) hurts, thinking about it. But I mustn’t be selfish. I am not entitled to his affection. I shouldn’t be feeling this way about him, (illegible) anything at all. He must focus on our mission and so must I. But I’m I want (illegible) feel so alone.

I was looking forward to spend a little time with him today. I hope he will still allow it.

@hereticcryptid I appear to be slowly but surely developing an entire series about how Hensheng and Baxia apparently get fed up with their owners' inability to express their feelings and take matters into their own hands...

Being trans right now is a lose in every way scenario. There's a couple of avenues you can take, and they all result in being fucked in one way or another. Say you want to create content and/or become a public figure. You're immediately starting far behind anybody else because a large portion of the population will just refuse to engage with anything you do. If you don't publicize that you're trans (which frankly is something that only some trans people can do in the first place), you'll be attacked for not using your platform to support other trans people. If you don't want a platform, you have to deal with being steamrolled by the current political climate, and having your right to exist as you are be a constant battleground. If you have it in you to speak out, there's only so much you can do and it feels like a losing battle. Depending on what you can and/or want to look/sound like, you may not ever get the chance to speak out or be immediately batted down if you do. If you want to cite sources, you have to practically get a degree in public speaking and know how to actually study papers or else you'll be spoken over and around. If you do all that, you'll be viewed as less trustworthy because you must be inherently biased, and thus even the people who are on the fence can be easily convinced to throw out anything you say.

Right now, I can't be me and fight for my rights without at absolute best a significant mental toll. This is why now more than ever, we need allies. This is a fight we cannot win alone. If you care about trans people--- maybe you have somebody in your life, or you just think that we are human and deserve the right to live without hatred being spewed at us all the time--- then please donate what you can whether that be your time, your love, your energy, or anything else that would help.

16 for a ship of your choice <3

16. "Why do you know how to do that? Nevermind, don't tell me."

How do we feel about some Arrilana tonight :) (as always, crossposted to ao3!)

It was too early in the morning for this shit. Lana punched the door of the rental car before sagging against the brick wall behind her. Why this stupid city necessitated cars, she would never understand.

She should call a locksmith -- or the rental company. She wasn't a AAA member, but maybe they could help. Still, when she pulled out her phone, there was only one number her hand moved to type.

"It's 6:30 AM; you'd better be dying," Arrietty's voice was groggy, and Lana grimaced.

"I know, I know. I'm sorry. Did I wake you?"

She heard shuffling on the other end, followed by a few muffled swear words. "Sorry, accidentally tripped over the dog since it's, you know, still dark out."

"Arri," Lana whined softly, sliding down the wall.

"I'm kidding. What's up? Do you need something?"

"Ilockedmykeysinthecar." It all came out in one mumbled breath, and Arri didn't respond for a moment.

"Sorry, was that supposed to be English?"

Lana groaned, taking a deep breath. "I locked my keys in the rental car and I have no clue what to do. I hate cars; this would never happen with the subway."

Some more shuffling on the other line, then Arri's voice, sweet as butterscotch. "Where are you? I'm on my way."

Lana felt the tension leaving her shoulders. She didn't know how, but she knew Arrietty would make everything better. "Outside Elliott Bay. Thank you. I'll buy you coffee as a thank you."

"You were going to do that anyways," Arrietty pointed out, and Lana could hear the smile in her voice.

"Yeah, yeah. Don't get cocky. I'll see you soon?"

"Give me 15 and I'll be there."

"I owe you my life."

Arri laughed, warm and bright. "I'll see you soon," she murmured, followed by the click of the line disconnecting.

~~~

If it was anybody except Lana who had woken her up, Arrietty would have given them a piece of her mind before blocking their number for the rest of the morning while she slept in.

But -- it was Lana. So Arri pulled on her warmest hoodie and defrosted her car as quickly as humanly possible.

Arrietty spotted Lana before Lana spotted her. She was shifting back and forth on her feet, a coffee in each hand. Her well-fitted maroon blazer was too thin for the early morning chill, and she could see her shivering.

Parking, Arri was already tugging her own hoodie off as she walked over. "You're gonna freeze out here," she murmured, snagging one of the coffees before draping her hoodie over Lana's arm.

"And you aren't? You're in a t-shirt, take this back!"

Arrietty just laughed, taking a long sip of the coffee. "I'm stronger than you." She winked, kneeling down in front of the car. "So the keys are inside?"

Lana knelt down beside her, pretty lips twisted into a grimace. "Am I going to have to break the window to get it out?"

"Do you have a bobby pin on you? And maybe some gum?"

Lana wrinkled her nose as she pulled a pin out of her carefully styled updo, a few strands of soft brown curls falling in front of her face. "Gum? With coffee?"

"Just trust me; I know what I'm doing." She held out her hand, palm up.

Lana waffled for a few seconds before depositing the bobby pin and a stick of gum from her purse.

Arrietty gave her a wink and a bright grin before turning her attention to the car door in front of her. "This shouldn't take long -- the car is pretty old; it should be easy enough to trip the lock."

Lana blinked slowly, sitting back on her heels and tilting her head. "Don't love that you know how to break into a car. Why do you know how to do that?"

Arrietty opened her mouth to reply but Lana put her hand up quickly. "Nevermind. Don't tell me. Just get it open."

Arrietty closed her mouth and raised one eyebrow, crossing her arms and staring at the woman beside her.

"... please," Lana tacked on finally, at least having the decency to look ashamed.

With a soft laugh, Arrietty turned her attention back to the door. "I spoil you too much. I should have told you to call AAA and rolled over to go back to bed."

"But you didn't," Lana hummed happily.

"You're so lucky you're pretty," Arrietty mumbled under her breath, poorly disguising her smile as she got to work on the lock.

I'm asking nicely. Give me what I want. I'll ask politely. Give me what I want. /lyr

[dark-side-blog3]

Sebek is so weird and cute. Yes king you can rant about your obsession, tell me everything you know. You strange man. Being a yan is built into him. He just wants to talk about his favourite person!

[good-beansdraws]

Quick Fuuta sketch -- I wanted the vibe of him reluctantly tipping his head up so someone could check his injuries, but I don't know if it translates or if the angle just looks awkward rip
