Ris!!!!! I've been catching up on the priest au thirst and i thought of eren from priest au and a drunk clingy mikasa stumbling into his office part of him would find it cute how she was clinging onto the point he couldn't even move giggling and asking him silly little questions like 'would you love me if i was a worm' with the cutest pout on her face her trying to kiss him and stuff but I also feel like he would get jealous cause no one except him alone gets to corrupt his sweet mikasa but he let it go for that night cause he has to take care of his baby but little does she know what he has planned for her the next day

omg drunk mikasa is so sweet. giddy after one glass too many of leftover homemade wine from a donation drive, cheeks warm and pink, a toothy grin on her face. it makes eren realise she doesn’t smile as much as she deserves, and it brings a pang of regret in his chest. if he hadn’t brought her to this town, if he hadn’t ever met her, would her life have turned out differently? would she have smiled more?

in his office, she’s on her knees because he’s asked her to be. or rather he’d only said it once, a small slip of tongue and honesty, when he’d admitted: you look nice like that, pretty on your knees. if he’d been looser lipped he would’ve also said: … with your small mouth wet and pink like a little kitten. but he hadn’t, and she hadn’t known just how depraved it really got inside his dark place, so he kept coming back, kept kneeling by his side, kept saying ‘father’ in that soft, raspy voice of hers that haunted him at night. today she is less restrained, and rests her cheek on his thigh, right above her knee, more intimate than he ever allows, more affectionate than she thinks she is probably allowed to be with her priest.

“i didn’t know you had to do so much paperwork as a priest.” her voice sounds dreamy, the slightest slur around the edge. eren suppresses the urge to pinch her cheek. “what exactly did you think a priest had to do,” he asks, a fond smile on his lips.

she lets out a long hum. “i don’t know. help people. talk to them. tell them how to be good. teach them how to be loved by god. look pretty in your priest dress, i guess.”

eren’s pen stills, ink blotting against paper. his throat suddenly feels dry. licking his lower lip, he says slowly. “everyone is loved by ymir, mikasa. you know that.” and then, as if the words are too heavy to speak, almost stumbling, he asks, “so you think i’m pretty?”

she giggles, sounding so beautifully childish, for a second he doesn’t know what to do with himself. “father eren is the prettiest priest, in his pretty priest dress. all the girls think so.” the edges of her voice turn bitter, and it hangs in the air until she covers her mouth with her hand with a little slap, suddenly realising what she’s saying. she turns to look at him with puppy eyes and wine flushed cheeks. “but they must have told you already, haven’t they? all the things they think about you. i’m not the only one.”

he wonders then what goes on in her little head. if she thinks he talks to other girls the way he does to her, if she thinks people confess things the way she does to him. if he “teaches” them how to repent in the way he does to her. even though he is barely touching her know, it makes him feel full to the brim with guilt and something worse: a cagey, fledgling beast made of anger that wonders why she has so easily accepted that he has any kind of relationship with others, a calm knowledge that if she had even a hint of anything with anyone else he would destroy it, a sick urge to hold her face in one hand and taste her wine-slick tongue. maybe he could chastise her for drinking too much, stroke her cheek softly and tell her that if there really was a god out there, there’s no way she wouldn’t love her. how could anyone not love her. on most days he feels utterly defeated by the impossibility of it.

“think only of yourself, mikasa,” he says, hating himself for it as soon as he says it. he could’ve said anything— that there really is nobody else, no one talks to him the way she does, nobody trusts him the way she does, even if they did, he wouldn’t abuse their trust the way he does to her. “ultimately, there are no secrets between you and god. everything that goes on in here...,” he taps a finger on her head and strokes it down to her cheek, fighting desperately not to bend down and kiss her. (he could do it, he thinks. she might not even remember. why suddenly is her inebriation a moral cock blocker when his position of power never managed to have that same effect?) his voice feels hoarse as she looks up at him, chin tilting upwards in the sweetest gesture of obedience. no one has ever touched her like this, he thinks. not in the innocent way it might have seemed just now, and definitely not in the terrible ways he has touched her when he made her confess every brief fantasy she might have entertained, only to enact something ten times more depraved. it makes him feel like a bad man, but at the same time, this is probably the closest to god he has ever felt in his life.

eren has drifted off into thoughts filled with guilt and longing but mikasa is still looking at him with reverence, hanging on to his unfinished sentence like it is something holy. her eyes are cloudy grey and not as transparent as he would like. he likes it better when she is sober, when her thoughts are not the slightest bit fuzzy, but full of him and tinged with shame- shame for the desire she feels for him. he lets the edge of his index finger brush against her lip, lets himself bend and whisper over the shell of her ear. "everything little thought you have is ultimately naked in front of ymir."

@annluvazzel you have resurrected the brainrot!!

[ddarker-dreams]

Could I humbly ask for some chrollo crumbs please? 🙏 🙏🙏

"This sucks."

"Mm."

"Really, really sucks."

"You did give me that impression."

Chrollo nurses a flute of champagne while you take tentative sips of your own concoction. White rum, grenadine, and what you think may have been orange juice mixed with a lime wedge on the rim. Waiters walk to and fro with appetizers, ranging from pork belly to oysters. You make a face as one of tonight's guest hands their trash to one of the unfortunate workers, despite there being a trashcan two feet away.

"Not that I'm advocating for murder," you quickly add, to which Chrollo raises an eyebrow. "... Maybe something softer in that general area, though."

"Torture?" Chrollo suggests.

You stop mid-sip to prevent yourself from choking. "No, not that either!"

"Morality sounds awfully inconvenient."

This earns him a punch in the shoulder.

"Why am I here, anyway?" You sigh. "I can't blend in with these types. Y'know, don't look now, but that lady by the fondue— hey, I said don't look— she struck up a conversation with me about her properties. Plural. Said that a homeless encampment is bringing the value of one down. What do you even say to that? 'Thoughts and prayers?'"

"I thought it'd do you some good to get out, is all," Chrollo sets his now empty glass down on a waiter's empty trey. You stare at him expectantly until he tells them 'thank you.' "And it's always a treat to see you get all dolled up."

You ignore that last bit. "Does it not bother you? Seeing all these leeches flaunting their wealth, when you grew up the way you did?"

He shrugs. "Targets are target; I make no distinction between those you consider 'innocent' or 'guilty.'"

"... 'Targets?'"

"In a strictly metaphorical sense."

"Dear god," you pinch the bridge of your nose. "I should pull the fire alarm or something."

"Without an actual fire present? My criminality must be rubbing off on you."

"There are levels to these things."

"You missed your chance to be a defense attorney. I'd have liked to see you defend me."

"Hah! I'd be rolling the electric chair out of storage just for you."

"And you wonder why I brought you along," Chrollo smiles. "Who else am I going to have these enlightening conversations with, if not you? It makes the evening fly by. Hm? Where do you think you're headed? I had the fire alarms deactivated in advance, don't even bother."

“Keith is not a tsundere he just sucks” you know and understand more than a simple mortal mind could ever dream

i feel like a quintessential part of understanding keith's character is realizing that he is generally okay at socializing with people (he just doesn't like dealing with strangers), but there is something very specific about lance that makes keith fumble every single interaction they have

how do you enjoy floor time? sitting, laying, etc

[lelelego]

The livejournal kink memes were FILLED with requests for Vulpes and to this day I’ll never get it

Though that might be cause I always kill him in the first encounter but who knows

SDAKWLDKA i mean. i KIND OF get it, on one hand he's VERY confident in his ability to kill you, and it's this whole power trip thing the first time you're supposed to meet him so it's like

but on the other hand it's also like

(sorry about the similarities to @somethingaboutmint's post full disclosure i've been rotating "he doesn't even bark" in my head like a rotisserie chicken)

[ckret2]

it’s really a shame that the venetian blinds thing is listed under “odd PHOBIAS” instead of like..”odd AVERSIONS” bc then you could go with the argument that bill REALLY FUCKING HATES venetian blinds and justify that with. i dont know uhhhh he got utterly eviscerated in a rap battle by a sentient window wearing a snazzy set of venetian blinds once and even though he disintegrated them immediately after this event lives rent free in his head to the point that he will incinerate any pair of venetian blinds he sees to this day because he cannot look at them without recalling that ONE PRICK who absolutely read him for filth and then insulted his hat in perfect rhythm 2 billion years ago.

But the thing is, I could go with that for a phobia as well. Like just add on "now Bill panics at the sight of venetian blinds because he associates them with public humiliation, and public humiliation makes him feel like he's dying."

But I wouldn't do that with either a phobia or an aversion because my problem isn't that I can't come up with a reasonable-sounding justification for a Venetian blind phobia-or-aversion; it's that I can't come up with one that fits neatly into the lore and themes and that smells of authorial intent, rather than just being something I fuckin made up. Fuckin making something up is the thing I'm trying to avoid.

[veliseraptor]

any spare thoughts on making separate ao3 accounts for dark/nsfw/dead dove fic and regular fic? i saw an author did this and it seems like a new phenomenon. wondering if it's worth doing lol and wondering what your opinions are

I mean, it's up to the discretion of the author! in a lot of ways it feels like it's not my business to have an opinion on it, and it's not like pseudonyms for different types of work is a new phenomenon. I suspect katherine addison/sarah monette is an intentional division, for instance.

on the other hand I'm definitely like. not skeptical but a little sad about the suspected motivations behind doing so, as I am sad about the general texture of the attitude toward darkfic in fandom currently. it feels like another manifestation of people's caution/unease around writing dark subjects, such that they feel a need to divorce themselves from it in some fashion, or de-link their identities as "person who writes darkfic" and "person who doesn't write darkfic."

and maybe I'm totally off base about speculating on that as the motivation; people have all kinds of reasons for doing what they do and I don't know what they are.

[soracities]

To me, reading classics is less about checking off some specific to do list and more just participating in a conversation that's been going on for as long as humans have been telling stories. And I don't necessarily love every classic, but I do love a lot of things that reference them and it's wonderful to be able to follow your favorite author's line of thinking, or understand the allusions in other media (music, film, etc.). Like Paradise Lost is misogynistic slog half the time, but it formed a lot of our modern conceptions of the devil and you can see it running through a lot of Neil Gaiman's work (and many others). Or a happier example I got to enjoy both Sophocles' plays as well as all the references to Oedipus Rex in The Unbearable Lightness of Being, doubling the enjoyment of both. Some people might similarly enjoy starting from their favorite authors and reading the works that influenced them, and following the long threads of conversation back as far as they please, if they're considering reading more classics.

This is exactly how I feel too, anon, you encapsulated it perfectly! I think the less dogmatic we are about the fixed boundaries (or fixed presumptions) of some genres the better and the more open and freeing our reading becomes!

[kirkwallguy]

wait is cassandra a fujo

she secretly and ashamedly reads varric's books. and i know most of them are straight. but she has the heart and soul of a fujo who doesn't have access to yaoi yet

[liquorisce]

What was your favorite part of your vine fic

i love the whole thing tbh, but i really enjoyed the part where father eren puts mikasa in chastity <3

you can read the whole fic with annlu's gorgeous art in the amour zine, pre orders are open! :)

[ddarker-dreams]

Hi🌹Would you write a few Chrollo crumbs, please?

warnings for yandere themes, somewhat macabre discussions because being around chrollo makes you lose it

"If you got stabbed, would it hurt?"

"Hm? Pardon?"

"I think we've established that you don't experience pain like most people," you take a sip of your favorite specialty drink through a straw. Paper, for the turtles, naturally. Except for when it inevitably becomes soggy in ten minutes. Then the turtles have to fend for themselves, environment be damned. "I've never heard you say so much as an 'ouch'. So, I got to thinking."

Chrollo swirls his own drink — red wine, or so he claims, his paleness raises suspicion — contemplating the matter because you raised it.

"My perception of pain is still intact, it just doesn't bother me as much as it would the average person."

"That's the thing, though. Have you been stabbed?"

"You seem charmed by the idea."

"Admittedly, it is a nice idea. But, hey, no deflection," you frown. Then, you reiterate your previous inquiry, heavily emphasizing each word. "Have you been stabbed?"

"If you must know, then yes, I was stabbed once, many years ago."

"And? Did it hurt?"

"It wasn't pleasant."

"Oh, please, you don't have anything to prove here," you roll your eyes. He's got to be acting obtuse on purpose.

"My memory of it isn't the best, I was a child," he explains. There's an odd gleam to his eyes when you stiffen, like a cat waiting to pounce on an object that's been taunting it. "You're very sweet, dear, worrying like that for my younger self's sake. Don't let it distract you, finish your point."

"It's not called being sweet, it's called having basic empathy."

"I'll have to take your word on that. Go on, then. I'm curious to know where you were going with this."

"A hypothesis. Let me stab you and tell me if it hurts."

He raises an eyebrow. "Do you think you're capable of committing such an act of violence?"

"Do you think I could?"

"... In a situation that induces fight-or-flight, maybe," he muses. What a strange thing to fondly muse over. "Though, speaking from experience, you're more inclined to freeze than follow through with the other two options."

You utilize all your willpower not to say some very unkind words. "Hence the experiment. If you're so confident, then let's put it to the test."

Chrollo hums, as if actually considering your idea. "It's an interesting pitch, but I'm afraid I'll have to decline. This is such a nice shirt and bloodstains are a pain to get out."

"That's the best excuse you have? Just take it off and—"

The self-satisfied expression he gives is enough to make your tongue freeze.

"And...? Oh? There's more? I like this dominant side of you, don't stop on account of me. Keep listing your demands."

Your paper straw starts crumpling over, as does your posture. "You... you ruined it. You somehow twisted a nice idea into a revolting one."

"Twisted, you say," he murmurs, a hand on his chin. "Like a knife?"

"Ugh, forget it! I don't want to think about it anymore."

[aroaceleovaldez]

Hello, if you still have Nico di Angelo thoughts, I have a curiosity. How likely do you think it would be for Nico to express some of that internalized homophobia (that he got over way too quickly imo) towards others too?

Not violent homophobia, but little comments that make others go "huh, something about what you said feels off"

Nico doesn't mean harm by them, but he has views that are accurate to the time he was born and raised and I don't think there've been many opportunities for those views to be challenged enough for them to change (at least from what we've seen in canon, TSATS dni)

(Of course I know this is a sensitive topic so if you're uncomfortable with it feel free to ignore the ask)

I actually do have a very specific thought about this! Thank you for asking - So my take on it is I don't think Nico would have his internalized homophobia externalize at others - he's a very tolerant character in general and it's implied Maria generally raised him to be very tolerant. I think the majority of his internalized homophobia manifests mostly as a subset of his self-loathing more than anything, because he is actually very assured in his identity in general! Most of his problems with his own identity aren't actually grappling with any specific identity itself, but his concerns with how other people perceive him about said identity (being gay, son of Hades, etc). (I do agree though that in canon he moved on from that WAY too quickly.)

That being said I do think people around him would mistakenly assume he's homophobic at first, LOL.

A.) I think his language is VERY outdated, because he probably has never had the opportunity to educate himself on English queer terminology back in the day, and absolutely has never had the opportunity to educate himself on modern queer topics/terminology, nor would he probably be brave enough to do so on his own. If he's had any brushes with modern English queer stuff it'd probably be the kids at Westover saying slurs and Nico internally quietly going ("??? is that the word for it?") He knows it's considered crude but he can't tell if it's because it's impolite terminology or just general homophobia and he's too afraid to ask, so he just awkwardly avoids saying anything at all or just VEEEERRRY SLOWLY starts letting out the most hesitant "...f-?" until his friends cover his mouth going "no no no no, don't say that-" (Nico di Angelo voted most likely to say "Is he... yknow... [gestures vaguely]...?")

B.) Nico kind of goes deer-in-the-headlights about queer topics in HoH and I imagine that would be something that continues for a bit until he learns that he's in a safe space for it. Like anybody starts mentioning queer stuff and he just freezes up a little bit and starts awkwardly trying to read for what reaction he should be having based on everybody else while remaining polite as possible, but also he can't tell if they're being sarcastic or not so he's just trying to leave just in case someone starts being homophobic, and also he's very confused anyways because he's not caught up on the terminology. But everyone else just reads that as "oh, queer topics make Nico DEEPLY uncomfortable. Is he homophobic but like, trying to be nice about it?" (cause the majority of camp probably still thinks Nico has a crush on Annabeth and has no reason to believe he likes guys, or anyone for that matter). And then people find out he's from the 1930s and proceed to filter his behavior through that lens and just assume "Oh, it must just be him being from the 1930s" and leave it at that.

Also its just REALLY funny to me to have the dynamic of Will looking at Nico, mistakenly assuming he must just be mildly homophobic, and going "I CAN FIX HIM-" while there is Nothing To Fix he's just old, gay, closeted, and confused.

[canisalbus]

About the accents: if someone has a very "proper" Italian they are either foreigners or politicians/dignitaries/etc. So that fits perfectly for Machete, but I think it would be so funny if he sometimes slipped up and used a Nepalese word bc he forgot one in "proper" Italian lol

(Funny to me cause Naples has its own language in addition to accent, and most people don't actually know those words)

.
