LOVE IS IN THE AIR! | Accepting

💐   to   give   my   muse   a   bouquet   of   flowers.

💞   to   be   my   muse's   Valentine.

Her classes for the day ended without a hitch. Her mind was still on Aaron and his very carefully thought-out Valentine's Day card. She'd never considered this holiday before, and now it had taken over her headspace. Perhaps it was her fleeting heartbeats that grew more and more intense while she approached the school gates, hoping to surprise him. He did say they would go out on a stroll.

"Oh!" Yet here he was, holding out a bouquet of the exact flowers he had drawn on the card, still tucked in her bag. Haru gracefully took it in her hands to smell it. "They're fresh... and beautiful. Thank you!" Her face was hidden, however, one could make out that she had rosy cheeks thanks to such a kind gesture.

"I was looking for you... and here you are." She laughed softly. "Shall we begin our... date?"

"Shut Up" Kiss starters | Accepting

The kiss he received definitely shut him up, and he was more than pleased to feel her lips on his again, even though it hadn't even been ten minutes since the last one. A soft laugh emerged from his throat at her way of making him focus on his half-eaten sushi -- a celebration for Makoto's promotion since he insisted he take out to dinner and a drink later. Maybe he had been talking for way longer than he thought.

"What, am I not allowed to boast about my love's hard work? You could kick anyone's ass and I'd still be proud of you." He grinned and quickly moved to finish his bite chopsticks in hand, and another went down the hatch. "Because I love you. But I know, I'm embarrassing you in public, so I'll shut up now and eat if you tell me all the details.~" He teased with a little wink, going back to his food. This was going to be a night to remember.

i know what you did, don’t even try

betrayal sentence starters ; 🩸 ; accepting

noel's eyes widen and he knows it's no use hiding it anymore. he did feel bad, so terribly bad for what he'd done but it'd been an accident - still, no amount of guilt pooling in his jade-like eyes could make it up to her and he knew that. "look, i know how it looks like..." he began, looking away for a second to think of what to say.

it must be a funny sight, a man as tall as himself looking so flustered next to someone as delicate and gentle as her.

"it was an accident -"

he sighed, trying to hide the broken pot of lilies she'd given him from her sight. he'd accidentally knocked them over earlier but he didn't expect her to pay him a visit just as he tried to clean up between appointments. "i - i was going to tell you, i swear. i just knocked my knee on the desk and - i'm so sorry."

Trans boy Percy can be a lot of fun

just a lot of people have a tendency to make it something he comes out about Pre-canon and that it changes nothing

while I'm over here like I firmly believe that Molly would not have continued having kids if she thought she already had a daughter

and i think she would be annoying as hell about him figuring himself out I just think she would be so disrespectful about it

Molly would be a "but your ruining yourself! you are my baby girl!" while crying type of parent and I believe that in my heart

She would guilt trip Percy like crazy about it while feeling 100% like she's doing the right thing.

Do I think that maybe she would realize after a few years that she's being absolutely terrible? I mean like I would hope so

Was fully unprepared for Trapper's first line in Trapper John MD to be

"Choppers , Hawkeye , Radar , wheres Hawkeye"

Like ,I'm just supposed to continue watching as if all is fine and I'm not losing my mind over this being the first thing they decided to have him say???l

I KNOW RIGHT

moments i feel really chill and normal about. and tbh the pilot has most of the mash references we get but i assume that was partly for legal reasons since it was still airing at the time, but that's what fanfic is for babey!!

@brotherhoodwarlord asked: do you think he's maybe compensating for something? - soldier boy @ iris

"I mean... if I'm being honest I think most men are trying to compensate for something in one way or another. In this case though, what you're implying, yes. Yes I do."

❛ you look like you've got something to say. ❜

"Oh, I always have something to say." She was furious. Some dickwad thought he knew better than Eirwen, and if there was one thing she hated most above everything else, were people like that. People with gigantic egos and minuscule respect that pushed whatever sorry excuse of a thought their brains managed to conjure onto others.

"If I ever hear him breathe again--" It was a joke. Kind of.

Kaya was not a being of goodwill and kindness. It was not in her nature to be, she only tried to be out of consideration for the people she had come to care about and some others. This blatant show of disrespect, however, made her blood boil even if she'd only seen the other woman a couple of times. Her jaw clenched as she rubbed her temples, unsure if she was proud of herself for not blowing up on him or if she regretted letting him walk away unharmed. "I'm sorry, people like that just... get to me."

@tvstarkuma said: “Are you making sure to stay warm, Sensei?” He looked up and down his friend to confirm for himself, “I don’t want you to get sick again.”

Unprompted | Always accepting

"Oh, Teddie..." How sweet of him to check up on him. "I am. I have the best kotatsu I promised Nanako we'd buy, remember? It's quite warm and I sometimes find myself falling asleep." It was better than shivering in his futon upstairs. The harsh wind outside still howled in his ears, leaving him restless most nights. "I know it's not the best solution, but I promise I'm not sick."

"Now, tell me. Are you holding up well?" It's only fair to return the question.

[phantomuheist]

@braveryhearted said: "Sorry for hiding behind you when we first met but your friends were somewhat scary. Hell, everything was frightening to an extent. Except your magician getup. Seriously, why do you look like that?" ( from Toshiro lol )

Unprompted | Always accepting

"Magician... getup. Really? Do I look like one?" He had never heard a lot of weird things about his 'costume', but nothing like that. Then again, he couldn't blame the older man for his confusion. One moment he's dressed in his Shujin uniform at the hideout, but the moment they step out, his outfit changes in a blue flurry of flames, similar to when he summons his Persona. There's still a lot they both didn't comprehend about this world and who Erina was, but he'll take it slow and explain how things worked.

"It's complicated, but basically, this outfit is the manifestation of my rebellion against society and corrupt individuals. My friends' outfits as well. Our goal as Phantom Thieves is to steal their treasures and change their hearts, but it seems... there are no Palaces here, although this Marie person could be considered a Palace ruler by our standards." Joker hummed, cupping his chin in thought. "Any other questions? And just so we're clear... we may have rescued you, but that doesn't mean I trust you, so don't try anything funny. Understand?" He hated corrupt politicians the most, like Shido.

Which era of Archie Sonic did you enjoy more? Pre reboot or post reboot?

Hmmm that's a good question. Idk I think I liked some of the writing post reboot better and I did like the new characters. I also personally think the removal of the love triangles specifically made the comic so much more enjoyable for me and opened up for better characterization for Sally. However, reading post sgw I did miss some of the old charcters (rip all those claimed penders ocs) and their now unresolved storylines, was sad at the loss of certain character struggles (like Rotor who was struggling between his health and wanting to be in the field again), and I missed how pre sgw had just some of the most insane or out of the blue plot developments/world building choices.

In terms of enjoyment, though, I'd have to say post reboot for the following reasons:

1. I enjoyed pre reboot for what it was more often than not, but I had my most fun during Flynn era. I liked how the Penders era moved things to being more serious, but I often felt like he had good and interesting concepts/ideas without the writing to back it up. Meanwhile, while Flynn wasn't perfect either, I felt like he was able to make a lot of those established relationships more believable to me, and while he also made some batshit plot choices he had more of the writing skills to back it up. This is all to say that aside from some stuff at the very beginning of pre reboot, it was a long while before I was able to really enjoy what I was reading instead of just taking things I liked where I could. Post reboot was a lotta Flynn, so despite the loss of characters and plotlines I enjoyed greatly, I at least felt like I could enjoy everything post reboot.

2. It didn't have all of those Sonic based love triangles. I know I know I'm a multishipper I ship Sonic with a lot of people but by god. I just could not take the Sonic/Sally drama anymore. Bunnie/Antoine was fine. Flynn actually made me believe in Julie-Su and Knuckles as decent partners. But by that point (and this is coming from someone who loved Sonic/Sally before reading the comic) everything going on re-Sonic and Sally's romance prospects with the opposite gender and each other was like beating a dead horse. And for Sally specifically, she had been recharacterized so so so many times pre-reboot just for the sake of drama that she often...didn't feel like her own character. So post reboot with the love triangles and the romance with Sonic removed I felt like we could really see who she was as a character and a clear vision of her ambitions/cares. I could feel like who she *is* wouldn't be changed on a whim for the purpose of plot.

3. As they say, people get better with practice. And while I thought some of his pre-reboot stuff was interesting, I felt like by post reboot era, Flynn had grown better at depicting the nuance of living under the eggman empire.

So yeah I guess I'd say, gun to my head? Post reboot. But it's really more complicated than that. I did enjoy both a lot, and especially in the last like 80 issues pre reboot. Pre reboot was wild an interesting in a way that I enjoyed with characters and storylines I loved, but it wasn't always written amazingly and contained much too many ongoing love triangles and mehhh canon relationships to me. Post reboot gave certain characters more time to shine as characters, reverted the pre reboot growth of other characters, delivered some of its nuanced situations better, and was largely written nicely, but you could often feel that the post reboot team was now restricted in a much different way than they were pre reboot (like, pre reboot's struggle was keeping up with existing storylines and relationships and keeping things true to what they have been, but post reboot's struggle feels more like it may have had some of Sega's restrictions we see nowadays).

In the end, though, I miss characters and storylines from both pre and post reboot after the cancelation.

@picavecalyx / 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. surry tu disappuint.

he looks at her, at those words. perhaps the first direct look he has given her since their meeting that isn't of analysis or cold interest. his codes paint the mimicry of confusion on his face, the automatic physical response the professor would have had to avoid having a copy of himself that simply would look at everything with the same distant expression. it can't be called actual confusion for him, though. just a delay in his processors, failing to connect her words to his work.

nothing of him is truly real. he wonders if that is the cause of that peculiar choice of words.

« you did not disappoint. »

his eyes linger in hers, an empty stare inside hers so full of emotions. he doesn't smile, because he doesn't understand why he should, but he does rest the medical instruments on the table and fully turns towards her. she's sitting on the medical bed of area zero's infirmary, where no one had sat in years, and his exams were to confirm she is not a glitch. she, after all, simply was there, all of a sudden.

« why do you think you did? »

It is Day 1 since I stopped playing Obey Me! :’>

❛ i thought maybe they’d realize that they need me. ❜ The layered voice of Invidia’s magic speaks for him now, eyes taken over by the Otherness inside him. ❛ there’s nothing crueler than letting a dream end midway. ❜

This was one of those rare moments where he got to see the side of Invidia that was usually kept hidden.

Noel didn't know much, Dakota only ever dropped the smallest of hints about it and he didn't want to push Invidia for answers either, so these small glimpses was all he had.

To someone that didn't know Invidia, not much would seem out of place, but Noel knew better. He'd spent countless minutes drowning in every detail of the younger man that he could, and it was by the gleam in his lover's eyes that he knew this wasn't quite the Invidia he knew.

"They do." Noel's own gaze softened, never once shifting from that of the younger man's and his otherness inside him. He took a careful step forward, hand reaching to hold the curve of Invidia's cheek in the same way he always had ever since they gave in to their hearts' desires as young boys. "You've done so much, probably more than I'll ever know of..."

What could one say in such a moment? There was too much to ask and so much more to unveil, but this instance of tenderness and fragility had rendered him vulnerable to the beautifully complicated existence that was the man he loves. "They need you, and in a way, I need you too." His thumb caressed the soft skin along Invidia's cheekbone, following a rhythm that could only be explained as the silence in between heartbeats. "Thank you for keeping him alive all this time."

Does it feel like life is permanently set to extreme hard mode and I still feel super crappy greater than 90% of the time? Yup. But! Emboldened by our relative success with last year's tomatoes, we have given it another go and have added a little pepper plant friend for them. :)

(It may look like the peppers aren't doing as well as the tomatoes, but it cannot be overstated just how bananas this plant's growth chart has been; it's determined to escape the confines of its basket-cage; it has to be constantly rotated so it doesn't completely lose the battle with gravity; I only took this picture the other day and it already looks SO outdated. Can't stop, WON'T STOP.)
