MINORS DNI 18+

MODERN!ANAKIN SKYWALKER is happy to see you when you stop at his garage to drop off his lunch. His coworkers know about you, wolf-whistling as a joke when he wraps a grease-streaked sweaty arm around you to tug you into him, greeting you with a wet kiss.

"Don't get her all dirty, Skywalker." one taunts from afar. His companion elbows him.

"Nah, he'll do that later."

"Ignore them. Long day." Anakin speaks against your lips, but you're unbothered, an amused grin gracing your features instead. His hand pats your behind lovingly, "What'd you bring me? Smells good."

"Some leftover roast from last night. Peas, carrots, sliced apples."

"Anything sweet?"

"Chocolate covered pretzels."

"I don't want the peas." You follow him under the shade of the shop with a frown on your face.

"But I made them special!"

There's a tarp that he lifts for you, and you duck under his arm. An inside look at the inner workings of the auto-body profession, and your eyes wander. When a peer approaches him, you notice how Anakin tugs the toothpick from his mouth, using it to point at him as he addresses him. You don't register the words until you realize he's speaking another language. Is that Spanish?

It's rapid, a back-and-forth exchange as you watch him argue like he's spoken it his entire life. Too quick to register anything he might've said, just that they both looked tired and upset. It's kind of... attractive. Not only is he a renaissance man, but he looks hot doing it. So effortless, so sweaty. When he returns to you, his hand guides you at the small of your back to lead you to the back breakroom. Thankfully, it's air conditioned.

"I didn't know you could speak Spanish." you tell him in admiration, and bite down on your lower lip. He has to pull you out of the way of a door beam because you're not paying attention to your path, hooded eyes glued to him as your mind wanders. What else could you get him to say? Does he know anything dirty? "It was kinda... hot."

He regards you with a look, drawing you to his side to speak under his breath. "Cállate, mami."

Lmao linguistic wikipedia pages be listing off countries and then add shit like “and several African countries” or worse, “and elsewhere” like this isn’t a newspaper article and African countries aren’t a hegemony, name that shit

[fancydunamancy]

So, out of curiosity

People who don't speak Czech, how do you pronounce "Mucha", as in the painter?

hi indy <3 OKAY so ik ur thirsts for anakin aren’t open rn but i had this idea after listening to music on the way home and i had to share with u 😭

https://www.tumblr.com/hanasnx/731661157123899392/modernanakin-skywalker-is-happy-to-see-you-when

ANAKIN SPEAKING SPANISH IN THIS yeah well i can imagine he’s also picked up on popular spanish/latin music from his coworkers and there’s this one song called moscow mule by bad bunny and there’s a lyric that says “te vo'a dar duro pa' que no me compare” which is roughly translated to “i’ll give it to you so hard so no one compares/beyond comparion” i can literally just imagine anakin fucking you soooo hard and rough because in his mind, he wants NO ONE to compare to him and no one can compare to the way he fucks you and knows your body, he’s just so possessive

queue anakin fucking you to the most sensual dirty sex songs in spanish and him chuckling because you have no idea what it means (or maybe you do if you ur a spanish speaker)

— link.

so my thirsts right now are indefinitely open! on my navigation page you’ll see a link on the word “thirsts” which will take you to the page of characters i accept thirsts for <3 so thirst away

listening to the song rn and this hits tbh like the beat immediately caught my attention.

i love the hc that anakin picks up on his coworker’s music because i know some primary english speakers happen to listen to mostly english songs which is like whatever yk like you listen to what you know and all that, but i think anakin not only listens to a language diverse discography but he prefers music in which he can’t understand the english lyrics because the music style distorts them, songs in other languages, and music with no words at all. with spanish songs he can catch some words and he got introduced to them through his coworkers radio i just love that. i can see his coworkers getting hype over a specific song and he’s working real hard but they’re kinda goofing off and they make him say some of the words cos they’ve made him listen to it soo many times

i love the idea that he listens to dirty spanish songs and thinks it’s soo cute you have no idea they’re singing about splitting you tf open and that’s what he’s doing to you rn

Exodus 4: God Works Out the Arrangements for Moses' Mission in Egypt

1 Moses answered, “What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you’?”

2 Then the Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?”

“A staff,” he replied.

3 The Lord said, “Throw it on the ground.”

Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it. 

4 Then the Lord said to him, “Reach out your hand and take it by the tail.” So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand. 

5 “This,” said the Lord, “is so that they may believe that the Lord, the God of their fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has appeared to you.”

6 Then the Lord said, “Put your hand inside your cloak.” So Moses put his hand into his cloak, and when he took it out, the skin was leprous—it had become as white as snow.

7 “Now put it back into your cloak,” he said. So Moses put his hand back into his cloak, and when he took it out, it was restored, like the rest of his flesh.

8 Then the Lord said, “If they do not believe you or pay attention to the first sign, they may believe the second. 

9 But if they do not believe these two signs or listen to you, take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground. The water you take from the river will become blood on the ground.”

10 Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.”

11 The Lord said to him, “Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord? 

12 Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.”

13 But Moses said, “Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.”

14 Then the Lord’s anger burned against Moses and he said, “What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet you, and he will be glad to see you. 

15 You shall speak to him and put words in his mouth; I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do. 

16 He will speak to the people for you, and it will be as if he were your mouth and as if you were God to him. 

17 But take this staff in your hand so you can perform the signs with it.”

Moses Returns to Egypt

18 Then Moses went back to Jethro his father-in-law and said to him, “Let me return to my own people in Egypt to see if any of them are still alive.”

Jethro said, “Go, and I wish you well.”

19 Now the Lord had said to Moses in Midian, “Go back to Egypt, for all those who wanted to kill you are dead.” 

20 So Moses took his wife and sons, put them on a donkey and started back to Egypt. And he took the staff of God in his hand.

21 The Lord said to Moses, “When you return to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have given you the power to do. But I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go. 

22 Then say to Pharaoh, ‘This is what the Lord says: Israel is my firstborn son, 

23 and I told you, “Let my son go, so he may worship me.” But you refused to let him go; so I will kill your firstborn son.’”

24 At a lodging place on the way, the Lord met Moses and was about to kill him. 

25 But Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son’s foreskin and touched Moses’ feet with it. “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me,” she said. 

26 So the Lord let him alone. (At that time she said “bridegroom of blood,” referring to circumcision.)

27 The Lord said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.” So he met Moses at the mountain of God and kissed him. 

28 Then Moses told Aaron everything the Lord had sent him to say, and also about all the signs he had commanded him to perform.

29 Moses and Aaron brought together all the elders of the Israelites, 

30 and Aaron told them everything the Lord had said to Moses. He also performed the signs before the people, 

31 and they believed. And when they heard that the Lord was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped.

[tovaicas]

the whole name thing is actually in-universe a little bit more complicated than that (certain areas know them by a certain name more or less often depending on which is just more well-known); the scions, alliance leaders, and like every coerthan exclusively uses ‘rouvastre’ after hw.

‘rouvastre heavensbreaker’ is very common around ishgard/coerthas as well (often replacing his surname) bc it’s their granted epithet, but otherwise virtually unknown outside of there.

many eorzeans (bc news travels slow and most of her local deeds in those areas assume their fake name), the night’s blessed, and a lot of norvrandt natives (bc ‘rouvastre’ is really foreign by their standards and ‘joranir’ invites less questions; they also went back to using it in rak’tika out of respect for cultural conventions) may only know ‘joranir’ and the fact that it isn’t his birth name is bar trivia in some areas.

(technically at some point his name legally actually changes to ‘rouvastre de fortemps’ bc they were adopted, but she still uses leuvechier or heavensbreaker preferentially).

but for ease of lore, she uses ‘joranir tovaica’ up until the end of the ishgard portion of hw (or a little before), and starts using their actual birth name ‘rouvastre de leuvechier’ afterwards.
