🍦 — favorite ice cream flavor(s)? 🍰 — favorite sweet(s)/dessert(s)? 🐶 — any pets?

Icecream Flavours

I am a sucker for a good cornish icecream, vanilla mostly. If I'm going into the absolutely wreck myself, double choco cookie dough with all the dairy choco sauce, and kinda bueno pieces etc.

Sweets

Not that much of a faaaaaan, I am more of a Deserts gal as I've gotten older? But I do enjoy a good daim bar or twirl.

Deserts

I love pancakes / waffles sm, I will have it anywheeeeeere. I'm also a sucker ofr Lemon Cheesecake, Lemon Icing, Lemon Curd cakes too. I love lemon in anything.

Pets!

My son, Oli - I miss he alot ;; and my daughters, Jess and Annabelle, his Grandma and Mother. This has been nearly a year now? He died on the 6th Jan 2024. rip buddy.

🗒 — what is/are your favorite genre(s)/theme(s) to write? 🤔 — what genre(s)/theme(s) do you struggle to write the most?

MUNDAY ASKS // accepting!

ahh... the opposing questions...

i like writing things with action, movement, lots of internal turmoil! but i simultaneously struggle with creating realistic, tangible drama that people can connect with.

i also hate things that i have to build up towards, lol. i get burnt out when i am building up to a grand, dramatic reveal and taking the necessary steps to do so--setting the scene, building up characters, getting everything in place...

by the time i am ready to write what ive been dying to write, im tired of writing, and ive left the project to rot.

so quick-paced action and instant fulfillment tends to be what i go for, before my short attention span wears out 🥲

“ What if your impression of me, was wrong? ”

[sansloii]

“This fits a little better now.” the woman hums to herself, stretching one hand out and and adjusting the sleeve of the suit jacket with a pleased little quirk of her lips. She does the same to the other sleeve before looking over the jacket as a whole in the mirror. Manicured hands smooth over the lapels of the jacket and she stands up a bit straighter, turning a bit to the left and right with a slow once over of herself. Her expression is a little contemplative, ash brown eyes flicking between the breast pocket of the jacket and the sleeves a couple times.

“…What would you pair with this?” The mob boss tilts her head to the side as her eyes linger on herself for just a few moments more. They eventually slide over to the tailor, and she turns her head a bit to properly look at him. “Like… in terms of ties or pocket squares. Perhaps some cuff-links, too.”

"Were you not supposed to expire, so to speak? As of last year or so?" pokes her index finger into his chest, hard, with plenty indignation.

The handwriting on the paper is elegant. But the princess is still puzzled why it was handed to her. Who was bold (or foolish?) enough to indulge himself into this game? With her. The man looks intimidating; but she’s well taught not to show such feelings. Two bingos look worrying (or promising), but Nunnally is more concerned with the squares crossed in red. Is that the real message he’s trying to convey to her? Does he dare to suggest he has the courage to judge her? To refuse the fealty she is entitled to by birth? She’s not amused any more. Reaching a hand to him: --

“At least you are well aware I don’t take orders. I am the one who give them.” – she’s curious of his reactions. Will he follow the order of a princess? Though she wouldn’t be that bold if they were alone.

“i feel no surprise when you disturb the peace.”

starters from the 44 bce speech by cicero || @cantuscorvi

Lucien raised an unassuming, denotively curious brow and glanced around the room. His expression—always bearing a smile or an undertone of contentment—betrayed none of his thoughts, and when his golden eyes paused on Raum, a flash of soundless amusement flickered in their corners. Like a snort, but without the unappealing sound.

"No man sitting alone with his thoughts has ever been at peace," Lucien said, having witnessed this particular brand of brooding countless times before.

Augustus, too, liked to sit alone and ruminate in his thoughts when things weren't going his way.

The plebeians loved him, of course, and they ate from the palms of his hands like obedient pigeons nibbling at the seeds of their caretaker. All it took was some grain and entertainment. Bread and circuses, they called it. But the public only bore witness to the broadcasted personality of their emperor—the one that wrote itself down in history.

The thoughtful and intelligent Augustus who brought success to the Roman Empire—he was a great emperor on the pages of history books and a human in Lucien's memory, a dear friend, but also the greatest grouch of his century.

No man was calm and wise without the burden of intelligence. No man could ever find peace when his head was filled with thoughts.

The corner of Lucien's lips twitched with something akin to annoyance, but it was hard to tell when the shift happened faster than a falling star on a bright, moonlit night.

"Finish your coffee and take your jacket, Mr Weiss. If you can read me so well, you should also know I care not for your lack of surprise—it's called adapting and learning; congratulate yourself and let us go. Only a dying man wishes for peace; you're very much alive, and as such, you must eat. I'm taking you for dinner."

✨ @cantuscorvi. meme. still accepting!

+ virote likes his autonomy. he has a lot of hobbies and stuff... he loves his job, no matter the verse. he loves what he does and he loves having a curious little spirit, so he likes someone that gives him enough autonomy to explore those things without breathing down his neck—cuz he's not rly fond of super clingy, pathetic... men lgfdjglkfd. let him have his time pursue his passions and interests and causes!

he looks for someone that also has their own interests and their own life. and sure! he luvs spending time with his boyfriend, whoever he may be. and he loves learning things from them and him teaching and all this. you know, exchanging experiences and stuff! but there's a time and a place.

and sometimes he just needs to be alone and not have the other party offended by it.

ya boi has a fiercely independent spirit. :")

+ ... now for what he avoids. hes not really fond of men that dont shut up and by that i mean mfs who are all ' you're my moon and my sun and my flowers and universe ' it's like bruh if you don't stfu with that corny shit, he's gonna throw up. it's one of his biggest turn offs ldjldjkfsfs. that's one of his biggest things is that overly sappy talk. it doesn't feel genuine.

there's a term for that where he's from and its bpakwaan = sweet talker / sweet mouth. but he doesn't use it endearingly lol. because there's nothing endearing about that kind of stuff to him.

like... that may be romantic to somebody but it don't work in his neighborhood.

just tell him he has great taste in contemporary literature and say his ass looks great in leather pants and keep it movin tbh he don't need all the bloat and junk of high praises that veers into cheesy territory. he doesn't want worship; he wants something that feels simple and maybe even a little crude.

he has more love for men that playfully bully him cuz at least he can come back with it and make it a little game.

i love valentine's day. i also like easter, but for the colors. same with valentine's day. i love the pinks and pastels and all the bright colors injecting into my brain after a long, cold, dull gray winter here in washington state. i am already wishing it was spring again because it's beginning to get dark and gloomy :')

favorite foods... i like steak, i like mac n cheese, i like sweet n sour chicken, i like corn dogs... i honestly can't rly think of any super interesting favorite foods. i'm a bland white person who can't handle anything spicy, for one, lol. i've gotten better about being willing to try things though! but some textures and combos just put me way too much off.

@cantuscorvi asked: omg pls gimme raum/adri for the kid meme i wanna see what their crazy spawn looks like If they had a kid:

Name: Rosalind

Gender: female

General Appearance: tall, elegant and statuesque, pale skin and icy blue eyes, hair a dusty blonde that catches the light just right. Often seen wearing classic, feminine ensembles, shirts with cashmere jumpers, pleated skirts, mary jane shoes, a headband and pearls. Got her stare from Adrianna, stoic, stern and alluring.

Personality: very intelligent, snobby and entitled. Her speech is very eloquent and precise, insults and harsh remarks are spitted without hesitation. Has a rare kind of dark humor and would cover her mouth with the back of her hand when giggling. Not particularly cruel, but most definitely a little twisted.

Special Talents: Daughter of a fallen angel and a demon Rosalind is a Nephilim of the worst kind. Her abilities while not mature just yet, include being able to enter people's minds and dreams and torture them from within. Her talents are fright/terror based overall.

Who they like better: honestly i don't think she likes either of her parents. Raum might be spoiling his little monster a little too much and thus might make her a bit iffy [ she's not too big into displays of affection. She might like Adrianna more simply because she would get to steal her make-up, perfume and clothes from time to time.

Who they take after more: Definitely her father. .

Personal Head canon: Her laugh can drive people mad.

🍫 quest: introduce bird to snack :^)

11.11 ( POCKY DAY )

"---Today I want to drink something that goes with this."

-> Lyric held up two separate white boxes of Pocky candies. They couldn't read all the writing on them, but Lyric knew the flavor as it was told to them: Creamy Vanilla. Apparently, it was some kind of regional exclusive flavor, and a contract that they work with had brought back extras as souvenirs. Sat in their usual chair at the dining room table, Lyric can observe their carefully stacked piles of books and notes on their latest research project, pursuing some illusive creature's fur for a client that has quickly led them down a rabbit hole of rumors and speculation that swiftly gets them nowhere. Just as their fact-checking is ebbing towards a frustration tipping point, Raum reminds them that it's time to take a break. What tea would they like today? ( and the question is such a routine, Lyric startles themselves when they immediately lay their pen to rest in the crease of their book, closing it gently to not crush anything as they stand up from their hunched over working posture and streeeetch until their spine pops. For a moment they are on their feet in place, swaying as blood rushes up and down---had they always moved so decisively at his call? they feel an itching burn on their back they can't quite reach and don't know where it's from. had they? ) Just when they think they feel like the world is tipping out from under them, that there is something there, something right there that they can't name and is just out of their grasp, clawing for their tongue and it's---

Lyric?

-> They turned to face him. He stands in the doorway of the kitchen, a dishtowel and a cup in his hands. He doesn't seem particularly concerned despite calling out for them, and Lyric only remembered the extra snacks sitting in their messenger bag as they were passing it going to take their seat. They didn't always eat well if Raum didn't cook for them, and they took breaks even less. He tidied the living room, he cleaned the dishes, he did the shopping and the meal work and they paid him in blood from their wrists that seemed to be unending. Pools of life ichor could accumulate at their feet from how much they have spent, they're sure. ... was this sustainable, still? A buzzing in their skull. They turn away from it when they open the top of one box and open the plastic packet, spoiling their appetite preemptively by chewing on one with thought. They hold the box out to Raum and shake it; did he like sweets? He had a moderate sweet tooth as they did, right? They think they remembered that.

"You have to try it to pick something, right? So, here. You can have one."
