#but i love them so very much

[aditublog]

Dazzle and Tresdin were sitting in their favourite spot, leaning against a fallen tree trunk and looking over the mountains and valleys in front of them. The sun was setting, it was quiet, the air cool.

Dazzle was restless. The Crystal Maiden had visited earlier and she had flirted shamelessly with Tresdin. That wasn’t a problem, but it had made Dazzle think about Tresdin and about their relationship. “Tresdin, do you miss being with women?”

“What?”

Dazzle looked at the sunset, not because it was beautiful (though it definitely was) but because he wanted to avoid Tresdin’s gaze. “I mean, you have only ever been with women before me but I am definitely not one. I was wondering, maybe you miss it?” When he had fallen in love with Tresdin, Dazzle had been sure it would be one-sided forever. Everyone knew Tresdin was a lesbian and everyone knew what happened to those who ignored it. He would’ve stayed with her regardless, he would’ve loved her anyway, without ever pushing for more. He wouldn’t have been content to only have her as friend but it would’ve been enough.

Despite everything, she had fallen in love with him. Him! It was unbelievable and sometimes, especially when he watched Tresdin flirting with women, he wondered.

Tresdin chuckled. “You are definitely no woman. You have too many body parts in one place and too little in others.”

“I know!” Dazzle was a bit frustrated that she didn’t directly answer his question so he pushed for an answer. “But do you miss it? Are there things you miss when you are with me?”

“Hm.” When the sun set in the mountains, it got cold fast and Tresdin pulled Dazzle closer, aware that he tended to freeze. She gave off enough heat for the both of them and he snuggled into her. “What do I miss when I’m with you instead of a woman?” Tresdin played with a strand of Dazzle’s hair. “I guess I miss the licking. You know, down there. And the tits.” She sighed a bit. “Tits are awesome. But you know that.”

“I do.” Still not looking at her, Dazzle wondered if that answer helped him in his insecurity today or not. While thinking about it, Dazzle watched the colour of the sky change from orange to deep red.

“I prefer to miss some licking and tits to missing you, though.” Tresdin’s voice was soft, her fingers brushing against Dazzle’s neck while she wove them through his hair. “Sometimes I think about being with a woman. But then I think about the fact that I’d have to give you up for it and it isn’t worth it. It would feel nice in the moment, but that would be it. It won’t feel nicer than being with you, just nice in a different way and I don’t miss it enough to even remotely want to give up what I have with you. Do you miss your home? You have been living with me for some time now, don’t you want to go back, to your house and to your people?”

Dazzle blinked at the sudden change in subject and turned his head. But now it was Tresdin who stared at the sunset, avoiding his gaze. “I miss the heat. And sometimes I miss the drugs, they made everything seem so easy. I could go back, live in my house a few days, then with you a few days, but I don’t really want to.” He smiled, though Tresdin couldn’t see it. “Especially since you keep me warm when I’m cold.” He shrugged. “It isn’t important, as long as I’m with you I am happy.”

“Then I guess we are both happy with what we have.” Tresdin turned her head now and found Dazzle smiling at her. She kissed him, then sighed. “I think I miss that I’m no longer a lesbian. It was so easy, to tell all the guys ‘no, thank you, I don’t want to go home with you because I’m a lesbian’.”

“As if you need an excuse like that to tell someone off.”

Tresdin snorted. “You are right, I don’t.” The sun had vanished behind the mountain range and Tresdin stood up. Dazzle shivered in the sudden cold where Tresdin had warmed him. “Come my pretty troll, let us get you inside before you freeze to the spot.”

Holding a hand out, Tresdin pulled Dazzle to his feet and then against her side again as they walked to the house.

Dazzle’s insecurity was gone, at least for today. It would probably return, the next time some female flirted with Tresdin. Maybe one day she’d miss the licking and the tits so much that she’d leave him for it.

It would hurt like hell but he was a troll shaman, he knew all the drugs to make him forget, to make him feel good and to make life easy. He’d not worry today, when Tresdin had chosen him over a woman she found attractive. Not today, when she had told him she liked him too much to leave him for any woman. She had chosen him, at least for the time being and it was enough. Because maybe the ‘time being’ would be years, or centuries or the rest of their lives. Who knew?

I love you all, but you have the wrong parallel. We love Rhaenyra asking Alicent to fly across the narrow sea and eat only cake, but it's Rhaenyra and this Alicent that mirror each other. It's the smiles, and that halting breath.

listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded mfer happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.

I don’t think we’ve ever seen you draw knight of dawn before 🤔 what are your thoughts about him? Or take?

I've drawn him a couple of times, just really little/in the background. but I should draw him more, I love this guy a lot! I have many, many thoughts about him and the way he parallels Silver...and also I think it is extremely funny that his ghost is stuck in a ring. especially considering where that ring has been for the last 16-ish years.
