Where the Heart Belongs

[nanaslutt]

as someone who doesn’t play lads and has absolutely no idea about the chars: why do you like those 3 guys? and why do you dislike the other 2?

i’m not rly into rafs personality or style, and i don’t care for any aspect of caleb all that much—i don’t like his trope or his style or his clingy personality, it’s just not the type i prefer

as for zayne and sylus, they just have the mature stoic personalities i like, im #fatherless so their demeanors and manner of speech rly check those boxes for me, they give very much “i’ll protect and care for u, while also supporting what u wanna do” and i LOOOOVE it

xav is someone i’m new to liking, but i like how calm he is, he also seems so complex… and he sleeps a lot and ik it’s for a sad reason… but i also like naps :3

most iconic artem-isms (yes, these are all canon)

sipping his coffee to hide his blush, not realizing the cup was already empty

counting the number of wrinkles in his shirt when ironing it

having an empty photo frame on his desk. like, seriously. it was just straight up empty.

drawing the same cartoon pumpkin over and over for weeks to prep drawing one for rosa.

in high school, he buried the love letters he received in the school's garden because he felt bad about rejecting them, but also didn't want to accept them either. this obviously did not end well.

his high school teacher thought he was being bullied because he was so bad at making friends at his new school

becoming tormented by a record player for hours on end because a random customer claimed it was out of tune.

renting a whole ass rv to ensure he didn't overstep his boundaries by sharing a room with rosa

unwinding and destroying his own sweater so he could use its thread to comfort rosa at night during a power outage

going off on a random tangent about gender roles and how one shouldn't be defined by their gender

a mocktail enthusiast. a single drop of actual alcohol is enough to land him passed out on the floor and near tears

him practicing posing against a wall because of. uh. reasons?

carrying around multiple water bottles "just in case" ... also for reasons.

has spent several minutes staring at and editing his messages to rosa before deciding not to send anything

bought and wore a cowboy outfit when traveling to a western themed town when he didn't have to do that, like, at all.

a wardrobe full of turtlenecks and suits. he only gets some variety once he starts dating rosa.

searching up "funny humor jokes" online and scaring the everliving shit out of everyone at work the next morning

also the blatantly obvious: needing a romance advice book and needing his boss to wingman for him. his solo attempts ended in incoherent mumbling. the advice book also ended in disaster. so honestly the only reason why he managed to get with rosa in the first place is because of celestine. everyone say thank you celestine.

WHAT IN THE ARTEM WING IS HAPPENING HERE

LIKE YALL SEE IT RIGHT????? OR AM I CRAZY?????

[iridesensee]

so... about this charming lawyer 👀♥️♥️

[xitty]

This school AU card wasn't a priority for me but Artem *is* cute here and luckily he was kind to me and I used only a little amount of s-chips (because event gives limited tears).

I really like the new sprites for the Dragonbreath event, it’s really refreshing to see an art update (in the sense that the usual sprites sometimes contrast the new art because of how long it’s been since the game came out):

I do want to shoutout this one expression from MC though. She’s so silly (affectionate)

And also this line from Luke because I think it’s great that he knows what metagaming is in the first place (plus the fact that it’s directed towards Artem, who has probably expressed the most discomfort so far, is even funnier)

tears of themis ⇢ YOU DECIDE TO SLEEP ON THE COUCH AFTER AN ARGUMENT

ft. luke pearce, artem wing, marius von hagen & vyn richter

you’re shifting restlessly on the couch when you catch your LUKE alarm keychain—handmade by luke himself—peeking from behind the armrest, “luke says he’s sorry.” you can’t help but smile at the sound of luke faking a small voice and whatever rage that filled you from your argument hours ago has now dissipated, endeared by the sweet gesture. “you’re gonna set off that alarm by accident,” you quip, the lightness in your tone encouraging luke to come into view. “you’re not mad anymore?” he asks, cautious yet hopeful. all his years of training and building a hard exterior to be a detective have nothing on you because in the warmth behind his hazel eyes that only you can bring out, you still find the boy you grew up with. the boy you’ve always loved. “i can’t stay mad at you,” you admit, on the brink of tears, “luke, i’m really sorry…” luke is quick to bring you in his arms, declining your apology because that’s what he does—he’ll blame everything before he’ll blame you. you’re unable to hold back a sob, prompting him to hold you tighter before he whispers in your ear, “let’s not do this again, okay?”

ARTEM is going over a recent case when he realizes it’s almost midnight. he’s usually one to pull an all-nighter but gnawing at the back of his mind is the argument he had with you today—you two haven’t spoken to each other since. after having decided to put off his work until tomorrow, he walks out of his home office to join you in bed but he finds you in the living room instead, your pillows and blanket already set up on the sofa. he can tell you’re aware of his presence from the way you’re deliberately not looking in his direction. still, he attempts to catch your attention with a soft call of your name. when you don’t reply, he carefully crosses the distance between the two of you. “we can’t fix this if you won’t talk to me,” he pleads. artem’s convinced his words have fallen on deaf ears until you finally speak, “i just don’t want to say the wrong thing again.” artem understands, thinking back to what started as a simple disagreement escalating into something it shouldn’t have and before you could stop it, you were both raising your voices at each other, saying things you didn’t mean. “i’m sorry about everything i said,” your voice sounds weak as it quivers and artem immediately wraps you in his embrace. “me too,” he tells you, “we can talk tomorrow. just come to bed.” when you nod into his chest, he presses a reassuring kiss at top of your head as he promises, “we’re alright.”

as MARIUS waits for you in bed, anxiety slowly eats away at him, the argument he had with you hours ago replaying in his mind. you should’ve walked in by now, he thinks, so he waits a few more minutes before getting on his feet and makes his way downstairs. he’s rehearsing his apology, muttering to himself to test the words on his tongue but it all flies out the window when he finds you asleep on the sofa. ridden with guilt, he decides to save his sorry’s for tomorrow when you’re both lucid for a proper conversation. marius is careful not to wake you up—gently slipping an arm beneath your head and looping the other under your knees to carry you to the bedroom. he’s tucking you in bed when you begin to stir awake. “sorry,” you hear him whisper, “didn’t mean to wake you up.” “what time is it?” you ask groggily, rubbing the sleep from your eyes. “it’s late. go back to sleep.” he places a tender kiss on your forehead to lull you to your slumber before he shifts you on your side, his chest against your back as he slides an arm across your torso. “sweet dreams,” he mutters and you feel his breath on the nape of your neck. “marius?” “hm?” “i’m sorry about earlier…” “that’s my line, miss,” he quips, albeit sincerely. he gives your body a gentle squeeze as he pulls you flush against him. “i’m sorry, too,” he replies, “i never want you to go to sleep upset.”

you’re getting settled on the couch when you hear VYN clear his throat as he carefully places a fresh cup of tea on the table in front of you. “chamomile tea,” he states, “it will help you sleep better.” there’s the slightest caution in his voice but it’s enough to tell you what the tea is for—peace offering after your heated disagreement earlier. “thank you,” you mumble, gradually feeling the guilt bubbling in your chest, “you’re using reverse psychology on me, aren’t you?” there’s no bite in your tone but vyn’s eyes still widen at the accusation. “n-no,” he stutters and a giggle involuntarily escapes you, to vyn’s surprise. “i’m joking.” when you notice his body language go lax, you slowly reach for his hand. “and i’m sorry for the things i said to you,” you tell him, “i didn’t mean it.” “i know.” a soft smile curls on his lips as he interlocks your fingers together, “so am i.” you stay quiet for a moment, basking in his touch that you missed terribly before he speaks again. “if you still wish to be alone tonight, i don’t mind staying here.” you fight the urge to roll your eyes, aware of the fact that this is just him assessing your boundaries—vyn does mind and you know that—so you shoot him a dubious look instead to which he responds with a sheepish smile. “i suppose you’ve changed your mind?” you actually give him an eye roll this time. “you know you had me at chamomile.”

The past comes to light.

Happy Birthday Artem!!! I'm glad I made it on time!!!

[ad-hawkeye]

the take of "artem is so boring i don't get why people like him" always makes me laugh because like. .. wording aside, that's kinda the point! the appeal?!

he's introduced as this Serious and Cold suit wearing senior attorney of themis, which in most otome would indicate your typical Sexy and Smooth Daddy Dom. like. the first official art we see of him is him sweating and pulling his tie loose. upon global launch, advertisements for tot always included the first evo of his atmospherics ssr out of context.

but the twist is that he's just A Dude. he's respectful and gentle with rosa. he struggles to make friends because he's really socially awkward, takes his work seriously, and has a resting bitch face. he has a film review blog and likes to write fan scripts. his dad wasn't around much and rarely visits. despite appearances, he is deeply empathetic. he's surprisingly idealistic in regards to his work and the impact he wants to make on the city. he grew up not wanting to cause trouble for the adults in his life and as a result has great difficulty acknowledging what he's struggling with and expressing how he feels. he's easily flustered. he has been called out on his bullshit several times by rosa. his father figure is missing and he would do anything to save him. he is earnest in all he does. he is only friends with one person at work and that's celestine, the founder of the law firm and a family friend of his mother's. he's endearing!

despite the prestige and pedestals people place artem on, he is literally just A Dude and i think that's neat
