𖹭. VERONICA OPEN THE DOOR ───

﹙ veronica, open the - open the door please. veronica, open the door. ﹚. . . hàoyǔ 9948e !! 🍒 : He didn't mean to scare you. Of course he didn't. He never would. He just can't help himself sometimes. Not with the eyes that glue to you wherever you walk. Not with the way people speak to you. Not with the way they want you.

You are his. Isn't it obvious enough to those around? Is his hand on your waist not enough? His lips on yours? His soul linked to yours?

The mere thought had venom rising like a poisonous bile to the back of his throat all over again. He swallows like contraband. The swell of guilt in his gut extinguishes the flames of his possessiveness as he so gently knocks on the door.

"Please, sweetheart. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you," his deep voice thickens all the more in regret. Forehead to the door, Hàoyǔ wonders if this is it. Has he finally fucked up? Showed you the dark parts of his soul that should have never seen the light?

"I would. . . never hurt you. Never." His hand slides to the doorknob. As if it would magically open with a small turn. The tightness of the lock in turn tauts his jaw, and with a deep breath, he schools his expression and eases his nerves.

A moment of silence before a hushed, "I'll be here for as long as you need," despite his desperate voice, dioaxazine hues deepen to a darker, duller shade.

"But I'm not leaving, alright? So take your time."

꒰  grim reaper character ꒱

 

﹙ veronica, can we not fight anymore please? can we not fight anymore? ﹚. . . alessio 9948e !! 🍓 : The locked door will forever be a reminder of his loss of control. Even so, his fist continues to batter at the wood while another fixes tight on the knob. An incantation.

All it would take is a single incantation. The door would become nothing but splinters. He could take you into his arms again.

At the cost of what? Even more fear?

A part of him didn't care. It shouldn't. You're his after all — he's only trying to keep you safe! Why are you trying to leave him? Is he not good enough for you anymore?

"Por favor, amor. It was a mistake. Please, let's put this behind us." The dryness of his tone has long since dissipated. Replaced with a desperation that almost made him flinch. Why is he here? Begging? He's a powerful sorcerer. He could have anything with a waft of his hand.

And yet, his pleading ensues.

"I can't leave with you being scared," he starts, rasped. "Not scared of me. Not angry at me . . . please." Like a candle dwindling, his voice shakes.

"So open."

Ignited once more.

"The fucking."

Ragged. Rageful.

"DOOR."

꒰ sorcerer character ꒱

﹙ veronica, sure, you're scared I've been there. I can set you free. ﹚. . . rishen 209 !! 🍒 : Like honey, his voice drips. Thick with sweetness and empty promises of comfort, tenderness. But just as honey is viscous throughout, so is the threat of poison. Looming tall behind the door you press your back into.

"Come now, cariño." His croon fills your ears. Throbs your heart. But your mind screams to remain firm. "Do you really think I would hurt you? Dearest, surely you know of words spilled in anger?"

If only it were just words. If only the thing that scared you silly was senseless words spoken in a fit of rage.

You saw it.

His eyes. The flicker of something you could only describe as dark. The linger of things that go bump in the night. Of monsters that creep and crawl when no one is looking.

The sharpness of his fangs. The split of a twisted grin and echoes of horrors in the morphing of his beautiful face. Twisted, sick tendrils.

The same ones itching at the wooden door. They're his nails, you attempt to tell yourself.

Nails? Do you mean the claws that left scratches round your throat that still burn in memory? A taste for what's to come if you let that monster in. . . or don't open the door at all.

"I thought you loved me, sweetheart." The shake in his voice tightens your heart. "I thought. . . I could be myself around you." Another jostle to the doorknob. "Thought you didn't see me as the monster I know I am. . ."

A small thump to the wood. You assume it's his forehead. His voice is trembling, is he crying?

"Please. Please don't be afraid of me. . . I only want what's best for you. I am so scared you will. . . you will leave. . . "

Your own hand reaches for the knob. He's evidently sorry. You hear it in his voice. Picture it in his tears. Yet as the door creeks open, you'll never undertand why goosebumps rose to your skin.

Why an unholy grin loomed from the opening you created.

꒰ mad scientist ˖ spider-moth-mantis monster ˖ villain character ꒱

 

﹙ veronica, don't make me come in there. ﹚. . . jìngyí 209 !! 🍓 : Serenity itself is what anyone would describe the doctor as. Charm and charisma galore. With a handsome smile and kind, albeit tired eyes.

None of which you hear in his voice as a fist pounds at the wood of the door. Loud, yet nothing in comparison to his aggressive, near-feral shout.

"Must you make this such a pain, my darling?" A break from his raised tone. All the more frightening as fear holds your heart in a choke-hold. You aren't certain if his tone now scares you more than the shouting.

You'll find out soon enough.

"You really think this will stop me? Open the door -" surely. You will find out just how to feel about him as a general.

"Open the fucking door before I find a way in myself and bash that pretty little head of yours IN-"

You were well aware that Jìngyí is anything but human. However, the echo of his voice in that moment? The rasped roughness combined with a sort of feralness you barely knew possible? It sounded as if a demon had reared its malicious head straight from the pits of hell.

What more could you do but cry? Cry, apologise, beg for him to calm down. Plead for him to just listen.

A scream leaves your lungs when a hole splinters through the door with ease. He'd warned you. And as you stumble back, hit the floor while he unlock the door from the other side, his looming shadow tells you that you perception of monsters knows nothing.

Not when compared to the tall, daggered presence of a mad man. Gold eyes bearing the true essence of a snake. Much like his unhinged jaw. Sharp, scaley features that surely would scar your nightmares for months to come.

And as he stalked closer. Snatched you by the arm and dragged you to him, with claws dug into your flesh as you sob your heart out.

The last thing you expected was his embrace. Nor the deep, breathless murmur to your ear.

"Why must you anger me, dearest?" A gentle hand to cup your scalp. "Why must you do this to us? To me? Can you not see that all I wish to do is love you?"

꒰ mad doctor ˖ snake monster ˖ villain character ꒱

 

﹙ I'm gonna count to three. one, two. ﹚. . . hàoyǔ 9948v !! 🍒 : What could be more frightening than a vengeful phantom outside your door demanding you let him in?

Well, a vengeful phantom that got a kick out of the fear that poured from you like the waterfall of your tears.

"Such a stubborn partner I find myself with. . . have it your way."

Claws scratch down the wood. A noise that makes your ears want to bleed for all they're worth. If his voice didn't already do the trick.

"Since I am a gracious man, I'll give you to the count of three. How does that sound?" The low chuckle from the back of his throat has you spilling more tears. He didn't bother knocking on the door. Or trying to get it open.

Why would he? You were foolish enough to think that a simple lock could keep him out.

"Give you three more seconds to regret every decision that brought you here. Three more seconds to understand what being mine means."

"One."

A grin.

"Two."

You already feel claws round your throat.

"Three."

Air leaves your lungs. The world falls still. Colourless. Except for the taunt of dioxazine eyes that reminds you of all your sins.

꒰  phantom ˖ rhytaari character ꒱

 

﹙ FUCK IT. ﹚. . . alessio 1311 !! 🍓 : What made you think that you could close the door on him in the first place?

He didn't bother asking you to open. The mere fact that you locked it sent his mind to a rageful disarray. It took but a shove of his hand before the door turned into splinters. The loud bang! sent you stumbling back and holding your head to shield you from any debris.

Your dazed eyes could barely process your boyfriend. Perhaps it was for the better. With those magenta eyes blown out in a devilish way and the look on his face anything but the man you fell in love with.

"You really thought you could lie to me, huh?" A rough hand snatches you by the jaw. Jerks you toward him. So that you are forced to feel the raw power at his fingertips. The rage in his eyes.

"What? You scared of me?" His deep voice pitches. A rasp from hell as he gives you a little shake. "Scared after you ran around acting like a little -"

"Alessio -"

"Shut up."

All you can do is whimper as his neat, black nails dig around your jaw as he presses you into him. His own jaw is tense. Words spoken from clenched teeth.

"Can't you see that I'm doing this for you? For us? You think you can just throw away ALL THAT WE HAVE -"

He sucks in a breath. Yanking you in to sate his anger with kisses to your lips. Whether you like it or not. While a hand drops to squeeze on your hip and ensure there's no escape.

Through the heat of his kisses you feel it. The buzz of possessiveness. The promise of threats if you continue on your path. All while he groans into your lips before parting. A string of salive connecting your lower lip to his snake bite piercings.

He croons. A low, cold sound. Cold like the silver chains around his wrists. Cold like his eyes that speak thousands.

"Don't piss me off baby. We're both not gonna like it."

Notes: Rishens and Alessios - everywhere 😵‍💫 (I died picking the characters) I hope I did this right, I also hope the characters fits (╥﹏╥) this is my first time so I hope you enjoyed it!

! This is not proofread !

The fireplace was lit up, offering you its warmth amid the cold of the winter night as the light of its flames cast dancing shadows across the walls of your living room. The sounds of the cackling fire intertwined with soft music filled in your ears, bringing you peace and comfort as the smell of the burning wood mingling with the sweet camellia scent enhanced the cozy atmosphere.

I love the winter weather

So the two of us can get together

You scooted closer to your lover, pulling the blanket closer to both your bodies as you shivered slightly. You’ve always loved winter despite the freezing temperature; the enchanting white landscape covered by snow, delicious hot chocolates, cozy and warm fireplaces - all of them made you fall in love with the season. Though the main reason why you love winter so much is because it means you could spend more time with your beloved.

There's nothing sweeter, finer

When it's nice and cold

I can hold my baby closer to me

And collect the kisses that are due me

Your eyes fluttered close whilst a content sigh escaped past your lips as you allowed yourself to indulge in the moment of quiet and affection that had fallen upon you and your beloved, both of you comfortably curled up into a cocoon in each other’s arms with a blanket around your figures.

The chill that once hugged around your body tightly seemed to have disappeared the moment he pulled you to his lap and held you close, as the feeling of warmth spread throughout your body like a gentle wave, making you yelp slightly before the sound of your soft scolding filled his ears. Yet it’s not as if his gestures were not uninvited by you, you knew this and so do him.

“Stay here in my arms, won’t you?” His breath warm against your ear, making the words pouring out of your mouth stop instantly as it was replaced by a hitch of your breath instead, all the while your face started to feel warm, making you earn a chuckle from him.

Meanwhile the sound of moving sheets filled your ears, accompanying the cackling fireplace and faint music in the background all the while his hands moved to wrap the blanket he’d been using around both of your bodies, sheltering you two from the cold.

“You’ve been moving around too much” he murmured before peppering your face with kisses and trailing down to your neck oh so lovingly, “you left me here, all lonely and cold” he pouted slightly yet playfully, making you laugh at his words and at the same time clinginess.

This had led to the moment right now. Your head against his chest, the sound of his beating heart drumming clearly in your ears. His arms locking you in place almost like chains, not allowing you to go anywhere - not like you minded anyway. As both of you simply enjoyed each other’s presence.

After a few long moments of silence, your beloved randomly asked you a question out of the blue, in which you replied with closed eyes as your position on him remained unchanged. “Do you want anything for Christmas?”

“Can I have anything I want?” You looked up at him.

“Mhm” He replied with a simple hum.

You paused, thinking for a moment before finally answering him “how about your time?”

Your beloved looked at you for a good second before laughing heartily yet also softly as his chest rumbled. “My time?” He returned yet another question as there was a clear playful glint in his eyes.

“Yes, I suppose it’s not hard is it?” You teased him.

“No, no - of course it’s not” He replied, not missing a beat, his voice laced with amusement. “Nothing’s ever too hard for my darling” He teased you back, making your face warm as a tint of red spreads across your face.

That sly bastard.

I love the winter weather

'Cause I got my love to keep me warm

You really do love with the winter weather; the atmosphere it offered, beautiful landscapes, warm hot chocolate and fireplaces. Still, what made you fell in love with the weather the most is the fact that it allows you to spend more time with your lover, all curled up and comfortable in each other’s embrace.

Thank you for reading, have a great day/night and I hope you have a very merry christmas!! (๑•ᴗ•๑)♡

john wears baby bones because he, progressive emperor, wants to show that dying honourably in battle and being posthumously valorised is possible in the nine houses even if you haven't got milk teeth yet. his detractors will call this an endorsement of child soldiers, to which i ask why you think of them as children before you do soldiers, hm?

[pendragonsgallery]

To get excited about the next chapter of Asterism, here’s the description from my drafts lol

[claypigeonpottery]

sold

a commissioned hyena

I enjoy taking commissions. I really enjoy doing research and learning new things and trying new things, and I find its easier to branch out if someone gives me a starting point. one of the suggestions I was given for this dude was to try making spots into constellations. this immediately led me to try and find a hyena constellation, which was fun, and led me down a few different rabbit holes.

but it also forced me to think about how I could make it clearly a constellation while still having it look like a natural part of the fur, and I'm happy with where I landed on that. it still looks like fur, it still looks like the rest of his spots, but the inner colour and the little lines of black fur make it fairly obviously a constellation (technically an asterism lol) too

Brocchi's Cluster, also known as the Coathanger // Harald Becher

This is not a true star cluster, but instead an asterism. These stars are unrelated to each other and are at different distances, ranging from about 200 to 2000 light years away.

[valentine-cafe]

I'd like to ask for a Tiramisu if you have time at some point^^

Just thinking of being his partner, and people usually seeing you two be playful or flirty, but in private you being so soft with him; your eyes hold such affection, your hands cup his cheeks so softly as you gently bump your forehead to his and whisper praises about how much you have unshakable faith in him, how much he makes you happy. Just a soft tender reader not afraid to show him the love he is worthy if<3 have a nice day! Or any time of day<3

˖⁺. ﹙ enigmatic antihero mercenary x gn reader. ﹚ .𖹭 ݁

. . . please don't ever stop being just you !! 🍒 :  antihero ˖ mercenary ˖ enigma character character﹙ verse 781 alessio. ﹚ 

flirtatious and teasing in public, but tender and soft when at home, you show your boyfriend just how appreciated he is and how loved he always will be <3

It's something you would brag about if you had the care. The evident fluster on his features. The way his emerald eyes cannot meet yours whenever you knock your forehead into his. To think all it took is softness rather than flirts.

Your hands are oceans of comfort and yet you hold him all the more gentler. With your thumbs brushed into his cheekbones as you murmur the softest of praises.

"You did so well today."

There he goes averting his gaze again. The sight widens your smile and you bring and index to boop at his hooked nose. The twitch has you giggling once more. "You're adorable, you know that?"

He squeezes on your waist and finally speaks with a low murmur. Voice rasped, yet dancing on the lines of a whine.

"You'll be the death of me."

His head of messy black hair limps into your shoulder. Strong arms encase you against his large frame and you croon softly to his ear burning red. The only indicator of his fluster. Your arms hook around his neck so that your fingers may delve into the softness of his tresses.

"For speaking the truth?"

"For being too good to me." Alessio groans, his lips meet your skin in tenderness as he kisses along your shoulder, to your neck and finally to your own lips. Your hands meet back at his face as he peers down with thick-lashed puppy eyes.

All you can do is tut. Press him another a kiss and speak oh so tenderly.

"Too good to you? Nothing's ever enough when it comes to you, 'essio. You deserve the whole world. . ."

And soon, you're laughing when his mouth peppers more kisses to yours. A clear effort of shutting you up to spare him the softness. You'll let him off the hook for now. With hands buried into his hair as you both sway within the dim lights of his kitchen. Tender and mild.

[babybutchianthe]

if you argue a series is not overtly political aside from subtext in the same post that you refer to it being an intimate exploration of existing as a badly uncomfortable and isolated person then i hate to break it to you but being a badly uncomfortable and isolated person has innumerable political dimensions, and if you then go on to call it a love letter especially to deeply fucked up lesbians, who are largely deeply fucked up due to aforementioned political dimensions, then i again hate to break it to you but perhaps there are textual & narrative themes that specifically resonate with deeply fucked up lesbians because they touch on the kinds of things that lead to lesbians being fucked up. we're seemingly at the point where the people loudly protesting against others writing analysis that they don't agree with simply because it doesn't mesh with their textual interpretation and/or political ideology are straight up trying to argue alienation & specifically queer alienation is an apolitical and transhistorical phenomena that is not contingent upon material conditions, which is not a good look!

oh and if an author—let alone an author from the colonially-occupied aotearoa!—wrote an empire with the intention of creating an apolitical narrative then that's significantly worse than the alternative, you get that right? you're presenting the scenario in which colonial apologia by a settler is better than writing an allegorical critique of colonialism
