#flower sentence meme

[eirenical]

I got so excited to send you flowers that I forgot to specify a fandom! Guardian, if that works for you still!

*laughs* That absolutely still works for me, @flamingwell. XD

...only you're getting 3 sentences per flower, because I didn't want to cut any of this paragraph. XD

Shen Wei took in this new vocabulary as he did everything else, with wide eyes and a quick mind.  Zhou Yiwen never ceased to marvel at it.  He had found Shen Wei barely more than two months ago, half buried in the dirt of a mountain field, like a fabled hero out of a xianxia novel—dressed as such, too—and barely able to understand one word in 100 that he spoke to him.  Every day since then, Shen Wei had soaked up the language like a sponge, only hanging up on words for things that he had never encountered.  Like the fire extinguisher.  Like the television.  Like the microwave.  All the amenities of modern life.  Even flushing toilets had been a discovery.  Showers had been a revelation—hot showers even more so.

more narvi??????? seven rings for narvi PLS?🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Haha okay well how do I refuse that?

"Your Narvi would love you still, were the veils of death parted enough to allow you to meet again. Narvi would forgive you."

Celebrimbor's bright, shadowed eyes filled with tears. "You do not know that," he rasped.

Gimli nodded. "I do," he said. "Celebrimbor…I do, I know."

From To Live In Undying Lands, a fic set in the Fourth Age of the world and focused on Legolas, Gimli, Frodo, Sam, and Bilbo’s lives in Aman...and on some of the folks they meet there.

*this isn't me sending myself an ask btw; I answered privately because I'm a dumbass, so I copied-over from the email alert. And then forgot to send it anon because I AM a dumbass XD

Nathan Drake is searching for a treasure — that much is obvious, no matter how hard he tries to fake his innocence. Elena knows him well enough, too, and she’s angry. Perhaps, one might believe her anger is towards the man’s obsessive chase over a mythological treasure, but you believe otherwise. A part of you firmly believes that she’s angry and afraid of how willing he is to put himself at risk, against a ruthless warlord of all people. The realization aches more than you’d admit. Of course she wouldn’t have forgotten him that easily.

My brain keeps combining the "haha I'm in danger" meme with the "this is fine" meme which simply results in the bus being on fire and a dog saying "this is fine" in the other seat with a coffee cup like it's his regular Tuesday commute to hell or smth

WEIRD THINGS BATBOYS DO WHEN THEY LIKE YOU ── .✦

a/n: this is a request + ask so tysm to whoever sent that but it’s (here) but anyways I’m so excited for my birthday on december 7th this year and it’s just so beautiful to see me grow up honestly and find myself. (Tags: batboys x crush!reader)

© dollishmehrayan — ( all rights reserved to me. These works cannot be reposted, translated, or modified. Thank you for understanding dollies! )

DICK GRAYSON ── .✦

Excessive Flexing (Literally): Dick will "accidentally" do pull-ups in front of you. He’s already shirtless and grinning, saying, “Oh, didn’t see you there. Wanna join?”

Compliment Overload: “Is that a new hairstyle? New shoes? You look incredible. Oh, wait, you always look incredible.” He will literally point out your eyelashes looking perfect “wow so nice, your lashes are so long and beautiful.”

The Over-Helper: He suddenly insists on helping you with everything—carrying bags, opening jars, lifting heavy stuff—and does it with the biggest, dorkiest smile. “It’s no big deal, bab- I mean—uh… friend.”

Trips Over Air: He’s graceful in battle, but near you? He’s knocking over coffee cups and walking into doorframes. "I swear, I’m usually coordinated, maybe I’m falling for you?😉”

JASON TODD ── .✦

Overly Cool Persona: He tries to play it cool, acting like he doesn’t care. But then he’ll text you at 3 a.m. with, “U up? I found a meme that reminded me of you.”

Teases You Constantly: Jason’s version of flirting is lightly roasting you. “Did you really think that outfit would work today?” But if anyone else says something, he’s ready to fight.

Surprise Gifts: He’ll give you something like your favorite snack but pretend it’s no big deal. “I just had extra,” he’ll mumble, even though he went to three stores to find it.

Blushes Like Crazy: He’s all tough-guy until you compliment him, and then it’s over. He gets red and stammers, “Shut up,” while smiling like an idiot.

TIM DRAKE ── .✦

Awkward Genius Mode: He’s smart with everything… except his crush. Suddenly, forming coherent sentences is a challenge. “I-I mean, uh… yeah, computers.”

Googles 'How to Flirt': You’ll catch him peeking at his phone mid-conversation because he’s literally reading “Flirting 101” or reading Reddit threads on flirting gone wrong.

Coffee Delivery: He’ll bring you coffee with your exact order memorized and pretend it’s casual. “Oh, you like this too? Weird coincidence.” It’s not. He asked around for hours.

Accidentally Compliments You: He’ll blurt out, “You smell nice.” Pause. “I mean, not that I’m sniffing you or anything!” Cue him turning bright red and hiding behind his laptop.

DAMIAN WAYNE ── .✦

Pretends He Doesn’t Care: He’ll act indifferent but secretly monitors everything you do. “I don’t care what you do,” he says while glaring at someone standing too close to you.

Suddenly Overly Polite: Damian, the king of sass, becomes weirdly respectful. “Would you like me to carry that for you? No? Okay. Are you sure?”

Gives You Fancy Gifts: He gifts you rare, expensive things like hand-picked flowers from the Wayne estate garden. “It’s not a big deal. Just take it.”

Random Acts of Bravery: He’ll jump in front of a moving bicycle or push you out of the way of a puddle, then act like it was nothing. “It was instinct. Don’t be dramatic.”

BRUCE WAYNE ── .✦

Becomes an Awkward flirt: He’s smooth in public but completely loses it around his crush. “Do you need anything? No? Water? A chair?” He’s offering things you don’t need.

Over-Explains Everything: Bruce will start talking about something mundane and give a full TED Talk. “Well, you see, the Batmobile’s engine is unique because…” You just wanted to know if it had cup holders.

Subtle Touches: He’ll brush your hand “accidentally” or adjust your coat collar, lingering just a second too long. But if you call him out, he’ll stammer, “I thought you were cold.”

Silent Protector: He’ll stand silently in the background, watching like a brooding guardian angel. If anyone flirts with you, his jaw clenches like it’s personal.

Bonus: Dumb Things They ALL Do ── .✦

Group Text Fiascos: They’ll text each other for advice, and it always goes wrong.

Jason: “Should I call her pretty or hot?”

Tim: “Say she’s breathtaking. It’s classier.”

Dick: “Just tell her you love her.”

Damian: “You’re all fools.”

Bruce (accidentally replying to all): “…Delete this.”

Staring Too Long: Every single one of them will stare at you for too long, only to awkwardly look away when you notice. They’ll try to play it off, but you know they were looking.

Clumsy Idiots: They’ll all try to do something impressive—lift something heavy, show off their fighting skills—and it’ll backfire hilariously. But the effort is adorable.

williams blue looks good on you l logan sargeant x reader

request/summary – hiiii can u please do a one-shot with Logan where y/n is Max's little sister and he's protective over her? You can go in whichever direction u want!!! Thnx!!!!

author's notes – lando win fic coming soon TRUST !! 🙏😭

you regularly showing up to support max in races since you two were very close, adorned with redbull gear head to toe

when Logan first saw you in australia, he was massively starstruck and couldn’t even get the courage to talk to you, so instead just ended up staring from afar the entire day. Oscar noticed the staring. since you were friends with Oscar, he did Logan a favor and introduced you guys

at first it started off with Logan asking you small stuff about yourself to try and get to know you better, but was met with a few dry responses since you were busy with uni most of the time. As time went on, he started getting more comfortable, with super sweet good morning and good night texts, and a daily supply of memes 

it was for his home race that for the first time ever, you showed up in a non-redbull outfit, a navy blue dress on and Logan’s team cap on to surprise him

you didn’t even find Logan before Max found you, and you instantly took off the cap. he was immediately suspicious as to why you weren’t wearing your usual redbull attire, and you casually shrugged it off as needing a change from the boring outfits you normally wore

after Max left, you texted Logan to meet you in front of the Williams garage, and surprised him with your outfit as a way to support him, with playful banter between the two of you that it’d be the only time he’d see you without the red bull merch on 

"williams blue looks good on you," he said with a flirty smile, a sentence that you could not get out of your head since that moment

i can see him being a huge acts of service guy, so he’d show you around his hometown and insist on being your (slight annoying) personal tour guide

you posting a slight soft launch which is “dedicated to the best tour guide.” Max knew you were hanging out with Logan so he immediately texted both of you, making a new gc. stay away from my sister??? he texted. you then prompted to kick Max out of the gc

Logan and you became super close eventually, going out on hangouts (not dates, Max insisted) with him almost every weekend. hed fly out to you whenever he could between races, and would do anything so he could see you more

sometimes Max would be a pain and when he was in the country the same time as you and Logan, hed almost always tag along to these ‘hangouts,’ insisting that ‘he didnt know you two were gonna be here at this time’

reluctantly, Max sat you down one day, and said that hed be okay with you and Logan being a thing only if he had permission to beat Logan up if he broke your heart. with a giggle, you accepted. “he’s not gonna break my heart, anyways, Maxie,” you said confidently

and so Max told Logan this too, so he finally asked you out on a date. hed gone the whole way; flowers, a nice dinner, dressed up all nice, and even insisted on not talking about fishing the whole night

still as Logan and your relationship developed, max would glare at logan any chance he got. logan would always feel a little anxious and uncomfortable when this happened, and you had to physically turn him around each time, slotting your hand in his to comfort him

hello i love your work sm!! i’m new to this requesting thing but could i request a ricky x idol reader au? i could totally see them meeting through another chinese idol like chenle (like the china line groupchat!) thank you so much!

— mochi

hii!! tysm!! (i have no idea if nct dream was at mama 2024 but for this plot they were!)

　　 　 　⠀˖　⠀˙⠀　｡ idol!ricky x idol!reader ⠀˖　⠀˙⠀　｡　⠀

you just recently debuted, mama 2024 being your groups first big schedule. needless to say you were incredibly nervous until you ran into two of your fellow idol seniors. you knew of them but you didn’t know you’d get to know them so early into your carier but it turns out chenle is quite the chatterbox. the both of them made you feel incredible comfortable during such an eventful night and you were extremely grateful. however you only managed to catch chenles number as he was the only actually sitting close to your group during the event, ricky having already left once you got to his groups seat.

and ricky thought you were so gorgeous from the first time he saw you and he could’ve actually screamed when he realised he never got your number or any way to get in contact with you. so he swallowed his pride and asked chenle if he could forward your number, not without being teased of course

the two them texted every night, ricky wishing you luck before every single performance even the once you didn’t tell him about and congratulating you on your first win, sending flowers to your dorm “congrats pretty im proud of you “. you telling him how good he did after each tour stop and listening to him rant about his company.

sends you flowers every opportunity he gets, he loves your reaction to it even if its just over text most of the times. would also send you one with a little note saying “be my partner?” (but he’d also ask you face to face at a nice picnic date )

values your fashion advice so much and vice versa. whenever you spend another late night talking about what you like and what would suit him best he mentally takes notes to bring it up to his stylist. telling them that someone close to him whose opinion he really values told him he would look good in this and that and if they could do that for his next outfit.

the two of you incorporate pieces of each others outfit in your own, ricky wears you favorite ring on his necklace and you get to wear his earrings.

whenever you have a concert in a chinese speaking country he would teach you some good sentences, looking at you like you put the stars in the sky when he hears you speak his mother tongue.

you’d never pay for dinner, like you would physically have to fight him to get his card away

takes you on so man picnic dates during the evenings, watching the sunset together and later gazing at the stars. kissing when you see a shooting star and telling each other you wished to spend the rest of your life with each other

he sometimes plays your groups songs in the back of his lives acting like he doesn’t see all the comments about a y/n x ricky interaction.

the fans then proceed to make little compilations of all of your interactions, ricky looking at you lovingly during a tiktok challenge, you mouthing their lyrics during one of their award performances, the two of you coincidentally making the same pose for fans and giggling with each other once you find out, you looking away shyly whenever ricky meets your eyes.

definitely post memes about the two of you like „the bad bitch i pulled by being a cutie patootie“

The 100 Girlfriends with Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Stupid Names.

AKA: Everyone in this manga has a name that's a pun or a play on words like Ace Attorney and I'm gonna explain them to you from GF 1 to 28.

Aijou Rentarou - The first syllable of both his names, "Ai" and "Ren" are both spelled with different kanji for "love." "Rentarou" means "Feeling Love."

Hanazono Hakari - "Hana" means "flower" or "blossom" and "zono" means "garden". Her surname is a reference to the expression "Atama ga Ohanabatake," literally meaning, "flower garden in the head." This phrase is used to describe someone who is constantly delusional and imaginative, referring to her lustful daydreams and delusions along with the flower-shaped hairpins that she wears as a part of her character design. "Hakari" is also a homophone for "plan," highlighting her devious nature and scheming brain.

Inda Karane - Karane's full name is derived from a highly typical Japanese tsundere sentence "betsu ni anta no tame ni yattenain dakarane!" ("It's not like I did it for you or anything!") The "In" in "Inda" also means "hospital" which is where she keeps sending Rentarou.

Yoshimoto Shizuka - Yoshimoto can translate to "Lover of Books" and "Shizuka" literally means "quiet."

Eiai Nano - "Eiai" is derived from "A.I." and "Nano" is derived from "Nanotechnology," alluding to her straightfoward, computer-like intellect and mechanistic demeanor.

Yakuzen Kusuri - "Yakuzen" means "medicinal cooking" in literal translation, while "Kusuri" is a homophone for the Japanese word for drug or medicine.

Hanazono Hahari - Her name is the same meaning as Hakari's, fitting since she is also very deluded. Hahari also contains the word "Haha," which also means "mother."

Haraga Kurumi - The "Hara" in "Haraga" means stomach, referring to Kurumi's incredible appitite.

Meido Mei - "Meido" literally means "Maid"

Sutou Iku - Iku's full name is pronounced similarly to the Japanese word "sutoikku", meaning "stoic", as a testament to her high pain threshold.

Utsukushisugi Mimimi - "Utsukushi" means "Beauty or Beautiful" Additionally, "Mimimi" has the kanji for "Beauty or Beautiful" twice, and employs the noma kanji, which repeats the kanji that comes before it. In her full name, the word "Beauty" is written in Kanji three times, and her family name and given name are pronounced in On'yomi and Kun'yomi, respectively. There are technically four counts if the Noma Kanji is counted. Therefore, her name can be interpreted as meaning "extremely beautiful."

Kakure Meme - "Kakure" means "to hide", and the "Me" in "Meme" means "eye," so her full name effectively means "two hidden eyes." The "Ka" in "Kakure" can also mean "splendor or flashiness" referring to the beuatiful face that she keeps hidden under her bangs as to not draw attention to herself.

Iin Chiyo - Highlighting Chiyo's position at her school, her full name written in hiragana strongly resembles the second half of the Japanese word for "class president," - "gakkyuu iinchou." "Chiyo" also has the kanji for "award" and "wisdom," and "Iin" has the kanji for "school" or "institution."

Yamato Nadeshiko - The phrase "yamato nadeshiko," describes the "personification of the idealized Japanese woman." Typically, a yamato nadeshiko is modest and courteous, with long, dark hair that is frequently styled nicely. They wear traditional Japanese attire, and they resemble the kind of woman Naddy's family attempted to turn her into before she rebelled and became obsessed with America. "Yamato" is a term for ancient Japan, and a Nadeshiko is a kind of pink carnation whose name translates to "Japanese Dianthus"

Yasashiki Yamame - "Yasa" means "gentle" or "affectionate", and "shiki" means "spreading" or "laying out" like one would do with seeds in a field. "Sashiki" spelled in a different kanji also means "cutting and planting." "Yamame" can literally be translated to mean "Mountain Woman" referring to Yamame's large size, but "mame" can also mean "hardworking" or "healthy" and "legume" which means "vegetable."

Momi Momiji - "Momimomi" is an informal way of saying squeeze or massage. "Momu" also means "to massage."

Yakuzen Yaku - Like Kusuri, the word "yakuzen" literally means "medicinal cooking," and her first name contains the same word, albeit written in a different kanji. Kusuri even mentions this in the manga directly, to which Yaku responds that her mother named her after her favourite tree, Yakusugi Cedars. Furthermore, when written using the Goroawase wordplay system, Yaku can be written with the numbers 8 and 9 ("Ya" and "Ku"), referring to how she is 89 years old.

Torotoro Kishika - "Torotoro" is a Japanese onomatopoeia that describes something becoming loose and viscous, which refers to the state Kishika enters when she is babied. Kishika also directly translates to "Flower Knight"

Kedarui Aashii - "Kedarui" means languid, listless or feeling sluggish and "Ashi" a slang version of the pronoun, "atashi" often used by gals. Beyond just Japanese, Aashi means "smile" in Hindi, which makes sense given the constant smile she bears on her face.

Nakaji Uto - The kanji for Nakaji is also used in the word "Chuunibyou," a colloquial term from Japan used to characterize early teens with grandiose delusions, a strong desire to stand out, and the conviction that they possess knowledge or secret hidden powers, i.e. exactly what Uto is. "Uto" is also an alternative interpretation of the kanj "shijin," which translates to "poet."

Meido Mai - Similar to Mei, Mai's surname, "Meido" is pronounced in Japanese similarly to how "maid" is. However, it is spelled with the wrong kanji, which could highlight how Mai is an inexperienced maid in comparison to the perfect maid that is Mei. "Mai" can also mean "little sister."

Bonnouji Momoha - The "Bonnou" in Bonnouji means "worldly desires," and "Momoha" means "108" referencing the 108 worldly desires of Buddhist terminology.

Baio Rin - Her full name is a pun on how the word for "violin" is pronounced in Japanese, but also sounds like the world "violent" or "violence." Her name is also a reference to "Biohazard" the Japanese name of the violent horror shooter game series, Resident Evil.

Hifumi Suu - "Hi Fu Mi" literally means "1 2 3" in the Goroawase wordplay system. Suu also means "number."

Kaho Eira - Kaho's name is a pun on "Capoeira" the style of Brazilian martial arts that she practices.

Nekonari Tama - Nekonari contains the kanji "Neko" and "Naru", which when put together means "to become a cat." Tama means "beads" but is also a homophone for "ball" referring to how cats like playing with balls of yarn.

Saiki Himeka - "Sai" means "talent," "ki" means "strange." "Hime" means "princess" and ""ka" means "song." Himeka uses the first kanji of her first name and the second kanji of her last name for her stage name, "Kiki," literally translating to "weird princess" or "strange princess."

Dei Matsuri - "Matsuri" literally means "festival," and "Dei" is derived from the ending particle of Edo dialect speech. "Dei" effectively replaces the standard ending particles "desu" and "da," emphasizing Dei's cockney English dialect.

Usami Shiina - Usami is a short abbreviation of "Usagi no Mimi", which means "bunny ears." Additionally, her full name is a pun on "Ū samishī na" which means "Ugh, I'm so lonely," naturally referring to how Shiina is unable to engage in solo activities due to her autophobia

" The doctor will see you now . "

say hi to Mr Star(k) everynyan . I decided to share this a little unstable fellow on another socmed bc I need people to see my creation

small fun facts about him:

✧ the only reason why he's named Mr Star(k) is because of the fucking "Mr Stark I don't feel so good" meme . I thought it'd be funny .

✧ morally ambiguous sweetheart — he's too busy to play psychiatrist with patients who won't listen but he will be more than happy to help you if you want to be saved

✧ doesn't speak whatsoever and if he does it's very tiny sentences or words to elaborate on people's conditions or tell you to get out of his face

✧ genuinely is the two extremes of the caring spectrum . He doesn't give a single fuck about the people around him except his patients and one single friend— and that care he holds for them goes to levels of doing anything and I mean ANYTHING for their joy and wellbeing

✧ I have 0 explanation as to why I gave him ribbons instead of plant vines or something to show his emotions . I think it looks cute and I think he thinks so too .

✧ I feel like he probably isn't aware people can care or love him the way he loves and cares for them . Like that shit confuses him to hell and back .

✧ regarding his extreme care for the patients , he counts their deaths and allows these losses to haunt him for years and years on end in his life for the amount of people he failed 💞

✧ he is a fucking overgrown Glow Plant . Like his parents were just people who had him as a decoration before they suddenly had a flower toddler in their kitchen .

♡ DATING HEADCANONS — KIM GUNWOO

bf!gunwoo x reader | wc : 0.7k words | content : possible grammar and spelling mistakes, lowercase intended, domestic fluff, established relationship, swearing | request — hello👋 if it's not a bother for you can i pls request dating and jealousy headcanons for geonwoo and woojin? it's alright if you don't. thank you anyways

gunwoo is such a soft boy like he’s so taylor swift song coded

not even a specific song, like if all her pretty love songs were made into a person; it’d be kim gunwoo

even though gunwoo is literally an almost six-foot muscle man built like mike tyson, when you first met him, the urge to protect him was saur bad

like you two would be the epitome of that hyper gf x calm bf meme pic

even if you are the biggest introvert ever, being with gunwoo makes you tap into that 1% extrovert in you which makes him so happy because it means you comfortable with him and that makes him so 🥺😭🥺😭

when you first starting dating, he was so pleasantly surprised by everything because this was a new territory for him

his lifestyle before you was just eat, train, sleep, and repeat — so this man had the shock of his life when dating you

the “good morning” and “good night” texts and the texts informing him what you were doing throughout the day + texts asking him what he was doing

he loved the way you’d always text him, even if it was like just a shower thought off the top of your head

literally everyone around him knew he was dating because bro kept using every free second of his to use his phone and the nonstop smiling at his phone like an idiot was a big giveaway

gunwoo is a selfless guy, meaning he’s always putting his loved ones before himself — and while you loved that for him, you always made sure to let him know when he needed to take care of himself

or you’d just take care of him yourself because you loved doing that

if he gave you flowers, you’d do the same after a couple of days, just wordlessly letting him know you loved him just as much as he loved you

even when you did something for him, he’d return the gesture, acknowledging your love for him and showing his love for you

as i said earlier, you are the hyper gf to his calm bf so one agenda i would like to touch on is how at one point you’d definitely be his curse dispenser of sorts

we know how gunwoo is a respectable gentleman who treats people with respect even in circumstances he doesn’t necessarily need to

so that’s where you come in, adding swear words between his sentences to make his words sound fiercer even tho manz probably has his polite smile on his face the entire time

“listen here-” “-you fucking asshole.” “just tell us what kim myeonggil is upto or-” “-we’ll shove your head so far up your ass, you’ll be able to eat your own shit.”

ok so maybe sometimes you have a little too much fun, which results in both your boyfriend and his woojin-hyung just staring at you, completely concerned

but they both love you, so a win is a win

honestly, gunwoo’s mama absolutely adores you and woojin feels the same, both of them just glad that gunwoo now has someone to take care of him and love him just like he takes care of others and loves them

you are always spending whatever free time you have with gunwoo’s mum and it warms his heart to see you two getting along together because honestly that’s all he needs in his life

if his loved ones adored you as much as you adored him, then that was it; he was indeed the happiest person in the world

it doesn’t take you long into the relationship for you to be comfortable with gunwoo, and he absolutely feels like he’s on cloud nine every time you mention how comfortable you are with him

like you can behave like an absolute madman, and he’d just love you harder — i don’t make the rules, it is what it is

so you best bet you sometimes leave your manz so bamboozlingly confuzzled by the most out of pocket questions you ask him because you have a curious mind

“why are buildings called buildings if they are already built?” “jagiya, please, it’s two in the morning.”

you two are a force to be reckoned with, i swear i feel bad for woojin already

sorrows sorrows prayers

🌹 Maybe something Guardian-related? Or The Untamed?

How about one of each? ^_^

Guardian:

Shen Wei's passion might be centered around learning, knowledge, books… but somewhere along the way, this gentle scholar had known war, had known strife and hardship… had known grief.  And he had locked it so deeply inside himself that he couldn't even remember who he was. 

The Untamed:

Even as Wei Wuxian frowned and picked up his pacing once more, Jiang Cheng found himself smiling.  It was a little thing, such a small, almost insignificant thing, amongst everything else Wei Wuxian had said, but…

~Yunmeng Jiang… we're water.~

We're water.

Wei Wuxian had said that.

"They do not," said another voice suddenly, and Frodo and Sam both jumped at the rough, broken whisper.

They turned to find Celebrimbor standing close by, his too-bright eyes staring off somewhere far away over their heads. His face was drawn so tight and sombre that he looked almost skeletal in the fading twilight and his hands were trembling again.

"It is," Celebrimbor declared hoarsely, "much better to die than to be taken; have no doubts on that count, Master Hobbits."

He walked away then, leaving Frodo and Sam both more dumbstruck than before.

Also from And In The Darkness To Unmake Them, a LotR AU where Celebrimbor returns from the Halls of Mandos in time to join the Fellowship on the Quest to destroy the One Ring.

Got any headcanons for Any The Mario madness cast or even headcanons for Existing horrorbrews? :0

(THIS TOOK ME A SOLID HOUR TO WRITE BUT THE ASK WAS JUST THAT MOTIVATING. I HAD TO)

I don't know which one to be specific about (and I don't have any large amount of hcs for anybody but M, MX, and V)- so here's one from each (will include a new one for M just because)

I hope you like reading! CAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF TEXT DOWN THERE.

M- He's one of the only entities there that "grew up" like a semi normal creature- so yes, there is a teenage phase he went through, but he will absolutely REMOVE YOU if you talk about it

Horror Peach- can still be found in the castle, acting like a true princess would. she's also really good at singing in various octaves (she has and can shatter glass)

Horror Yoshi- Can see it acting like Toothless (HTTYD). it's quite instinctual by nature, but some victims have actually gotten it on their side with enough toads / practice. however M can still overpower the yoshi, and got to em anyway. Yoshi ends up being more malicious than usual towards M for a few days afterwards.

John.D- Rarely goes full violent, actually! usually quite pleasant to be around (M has gotten mad at it for not attacking his victims at times but he eventually just gave up) but the trumpet it has is it's most prized possession- try to take it, and there WILL be issues.

(how tf do I headcanon a straight up NORMAL GUY???) "Chris Pratt" - He's not really Chris Pratt, just some wannabe lookalike in the wrong place at the wrong time. M assigned him Pratt's voice when he found out he snatched the wrong guy, though, so almost nobody notices.

Grand Dad- one of the most mature of the group. He's seen a lot of memes and ideas come and go, and he's definitely the guy you go to if you need help remembering an ancient piece of media. He's also probably got a photographic memory and a love for tea & crackers.

Somari- He's creature coded. in a good way. his game's coding mixed Sonic's movement with Mario's- which also ended up giving him creature behavior in some areas. better at seeing in the dark, heightened sense of smell, the whole shebang. just saying, though...do NOT let this man in your house during the summer, there will be blue hair EVERYWHERE.

Beta Luigi- loves to garden, especially flowers- he keeps a whole bunch of red ones in perfect condition to remind him of Mario. he didn't stay at the mansion's gates forever (mostly via the help of some of the gentler fellas), and eventually retreated to his (and Mario's) place. He will flat-out refuse to go anywhere near the windows or anywhere that leads outside if there's a thunderstorm. also he has a mountain of plushies he hides in during said storms (again, curtesy of the gentler aka not murderous ones)

L is Real- his body is naturally hydrophobic. while he was trapped in the fountain's water, it served as some kind of fucked up way of making sure he can never breach the surface, but once he was rescued he found out (after a lot of persuading and probably being shoved by MX or one of the other heavy-hitters) that he can never enter the water again. he can't break the surface of the water, good or bad.

IHY Luigi- whether or not the flames are prominent, he's always burning. Whether it be some cursed reminder of what was done to him, or some sentence from greater entities for betraying his brother and all those he helped, he's always burning. he doesn't feel it anymore, but his body temperature is very high. do not touch this man you will get burned. also with this comes a constant smell. he can't smell it but boy can the others.

Turmoil- has a little tail. not a long one, but a tail nonetheless. helps him with balancing when making sharp turns- and also just in general. you'll find it's harder to push this thing over than what would seem. also he eventually gained the ability to unhinge it's jaw, which confused the FUCK out of a lot of the others- because in NO WAY was that part of Yoshi or Mario's code.

Coronation Day Peach- considers his forest sacred ground, and oftentimes gets violent towards ANYBODY who enters, not just mario lookalikes. many of the others had to win him over just to come and hang out. however turmoil and horror Yoshi got automatic passes due to being more "wild animal" than "subject", and D.O Luigi got a pass for just.. being a sad little kid in the wrong place. Somari got a boosted chance but still had to give offerings. also he probably talks like nightmare moon.

D.O(Day Out) Mario- thinks he's the "coolest" Mario here. even bigger ego than M, which pisses M the hell off. he's gotten his shit rocked by almost everyone in the mod.

D.O Luigi- sopping wet cat energy to the MAX. OH MY GOD, believe me when I say he got taken under Grand Dad's wing immediately to protect him from most of the crazy Marios. he also hangs out with many of the Luigis and looks up to coronation day Peach.

Dictator Mario- he probably believes in the stock market TOO MUCH due to one success he had that skyrocketed his career. trust me when I say many bullet bills were blown up when he found out that his money had no real use here, and that he was not as powerful as he used to be in his own world, before he was acquired by M.

Devil Mario- multilingual due to all the boos possessing him- in other words, some of the boos know other languages and will take control of speech if "needed". in other words, he's a great translator if convinced the deal is worthy of his time. they've also used it to keep people OUT of a conversation or plan by speaking a language the eavesdropper can't understand.

(ig I'll include him too) Racist Mario- BANNED from all conversations regarding other consoles or games. He's also in a mutual "I hate your guts" relationship with Grand Dad and Somari due to them being bootlegs.

(YAYY MY BOY!!!!) GB- he can't remove the bunny ears. even if it seems like they're gone, they've just been really well folded against the hat. however he can control if the ears are coming out of the hat, or are on the sides of his head like regular human ears (they still look like bunny ears though).

DJ Hallyboo- gets into the most fights. mutual restraining order with Racist Mario. However, as long as he doesn't consider you a pirate, he's actually pretty laid back.

Mr. L- despite what he's become, he still harbors an innate love for Daisy. probably keeps her safe in his world, never letting her access the overworld / other areas in the mod. it took him a bit, but he eventually started using his true form around her. it also took HER a bit to actually become comfortable around him again. Also, the clones / illusions he has? he can see through any one of them if he wants to, and can "take control of them" too- moreso swapping the illusion's location with his own. his illusions do not speak, and always look a bit more blank in expression than he does (if that's even possible tbh). he has used this trick to startle, scare, get the upper hand, and pay frequent visits to daisy.

MX- A FUCKING POWERHOUSE. yes, it's very evident in the mod how strong this guy is- but I'm talking he can bite through bricks too. not just run through them. not like this strength is always good though! because if he's not in his false hero form (which is exhausting to be in than his real form as it's like compressing yourself into a small room which makes him feel cramped after a while), HE CANNOT CONTROL HIS STRENGTH! he has broken countless doorknobs and is the last person trusted to open a door.

V- considering he knows how to make people feel paranoid, afraid, and all the other scary emotions, he can probably read minds. not communicate telepathically, but at the very least he can take one read and know EXACTLY what makes your defenses break. if he can't see you directly, the only thing he can hear is your heartbeat. the faster it is, the LOUDER it is- and the quicker he'll track you down. there is one singular case this has been used for good, and that's when Lucas took a wrong pipe, ended up in hellish heights, and therefore in the virtual boy. if you call him soft for this action, though, trust me when I say you're now royally fucked.

(I know nothing about the source media so these are purely, 100% made up for the classified castle gang)

Stanley- excellent memorization skills, can read smth once and know exactly what he has to say. however, with this comes a complete inability to forget what he's gone through.

Abandoned Luigi- terrible fear of water (gee I wonder why), but sadly he is not hydrophobic. he will just NOT GO NEAR WATER whenever possible.

Costume- probably into really old movies and cartoons. get this man a copy of every scrooges episode in existence, NOW. he either never speaks, or speaks so muffled only those with REALLY good hearing (like Stanley, V, Mr. L) or with really good language understanding (cough cough devil mario) can understand him. nobody else around? you're not making out a word he might say to you.

LG- not good at stage management or acting, but the best at planning. sometimes his ideas are so good they get utilized in whatever plays omega sets up.

W4R- the worst at acting, but the best at stage management. faster than he looks. Omega likes recruiting him to rearrange the sets.

YOSH- the BEST at acting. he can sound more emotional than what you would think possible for the (guy? thing? idk).

(Ayy my fav showman!!) Omega- he think everything a fuckin play. considers his victims the audience at least, and actors at best. this view includes the others. he has a LONG list of every character in the mod and how best to integrate them into every type of play he thinks of. also he doesn't need to make eye contact with you to see you. if you're in a spotlight, he'll always see you.

Mr. Sys- he's great at business management. also good at tracking people down (dictator mario has indeed hired him for intel on his enemies). he's got a good customer service attitude, and the WORST losing attitude. he also screams like a little girl when he's startled, which is found hilarious by almost every other being in the mod.

(giving a group hc for these guys* aka the dog, lakitu thing, lizard, and whatever the fuck the last guy is) YCBU Entourage- acts like a mix between the three stooges and a group of feral creatures. mimicking at best, I'm telling you. they've memorized "You cannot beat us" and sometimes will blurt out single words from that sentence if they think it'll contribute to a conversation.

THAT'S ALL I CANNOT THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE MY BRAIN IS FRIED!!! TY FOR READING IT ALL :D

[mercillery]

Would you be opposed to writing for silly Kirschie? The Vermillion flower boy grew on me 🌸 (relationship overview?)

WARNINGS: GENDER NOT SPECIFIED + NOT PROOFREAD

NOTES: My life changed in 92722928 different ways when I found out he existed. Sorry this took so long, anon. ❤️‍🩹

From the moment he realizes he's in love with you, buckle up—you're about to be placed on a pedestal so high, even a magic knight would struggle to reach it. Kirsch isn’t just falling in love; he’s having a whole opera performed in his head about how you, the most divine being to ever exist, were handcrafted by angels of heaven themselves purely as a reward for him. It’s like he believes the heavens saw how gorgeous he was and decided, "You know what? Let’s give him someone who’s equally perfect." He’ll shower you with compliments so extravagant, even the word “flattery” would feel modest. It’s like living in a Shakespearean play where the soliloquies never stop—and they're all about how radiant you are.

And just when you think it’s impossible for him to love anything more than his own reflection, guess what? He proves you wrong. Sure, he’ll talk about his own beauty—it’s Kirsch, after all—but he’s just as obsessed with promoting your looks. In fact, he might be too busy singing your praises to even get through a sentence about himself. Think of it this way: if Kirsch is the president of his own fan club, you’re the vice president—except he’s trying to hand over the entire operation to you because in his eyes, you’re the real star.

Every little action you take is glorified like you’re performing on a royal stage, and Kirsch is your most dedicated and vocal audience member. You could be doing something as simple as picking a flower, and suddenly it’s as if you’re creating a masterpiece worthy of a gallery exhibit. Kirsch will dramatically place a hand over his heart, swooning, and launch into a full-on poetic monologue about how “only the most delicate hands could possibly pluck nature’s finest creation with such grace!” It’s like living with your own personal hype man who’s constantly stuck in an emotional art film.

You could be doing something very simple as tying your shoe, and he’d still manage to make it sound like you’re unraveling the mysteries of the universe with unparalleled elegance. “The way you loop those laces… such precision! Such finesse! I’ve never witnessed anything so perfectly executed.” It’s hard to ever feel mundane or average when Kirsch is around because, to him, you’re not just special—you’re a walking masterpiece of elegance and grace, even when you’re just, you know, pouring a glass of water.

Kirsch spares no expense when it comes to showering you with luxurious gifts—it’s basically his love language, except it’s less about words and more about drowning you in pink roses and glittering jewels. Expect hand-picked bouquets that look like they were arranged by angels themselves (or, more accurately, arranged to match his aesthetic), ornate jewelry that would make royalty jealous, and customized clothing that screams opulence. He’ll insist that only the finest silks and rarest gems should even dare touch your skin, and honestly, he’s not taking "no" for an answer. If you thought you could casually slip out of the house in a simple outfit to run errands, think again.

This man will have you looking like you’re about to walk the runway—even if you're just going to the corner store for some milk. It’s like living in that one meme: “Bye, I’m going to [insert mundane place here]!” and then the other person says, “Not dressed like that you aren’t young lady!” And then the other person who was leaving changes into way more stylish clothing, to which the other person says “Yesss queen slayyy!!” Like, that meme is your relationship in a nutshell—any time you leave the house, there’s a full-on wardrobe transformation sequence where Kirsch has you dazzling like the spotlight was meant just for you. If you don’t get the reference, I’ll leave the meme at the very bottom of this post lol.

Also, after Kirsch is done, it’s not just you stealing the spotlight—you’re taking the whole stage. You’re over there trying to buy groceries, and suddenly people are stopping mid-aisle, jaws dropping, as if you’re about to give an acceptance speech for “Best Dressed at the Supermarket.”

He’s quite literally the epitome of romanticism, the guy who watched one too many telenovelas and said, “Challenge accepted.” He’s like those super-dramatic, lovestruck characters you see in Spanish soap operas—the ones who stand in the rain delivering heartfelt speeches while violins play in the background—except, well… it’s Kirsch, and he’s probably not going to get his hair wet. But honestly? It’s so Kirsch to be that extra. One speech from him and you’re already a flustered, blushing mess. It’s like he’s got this magical power to turn even the most casual compliments into an event. “Your eyes, my love—they sparkle brighter than the heavens themselves!” Cue the swooning.

But oh, it doesn’t stop there. Kirsch is the guy who writes you long, poetic love letters that read like something from the Romantic Era—and we’re talking full-on sonnets. There’s probably at least one mention of you being the moon to his sun, the stars in his sky, or something equally dramatic. He’ll hand-deliver it to you with a flourish, as if he’s presenting you with the Holy Grail.

And if you think that’s over the top, just wait for the serenades. He’ll burst into a room or most likely a public space and then dramatically place a hand on his chest, and declare his love as if he’s performing for an audience. He’s got metaphors comparing your beauty to the brilliance of nature, the stars, the sun, and whatever else sounds poetic in the moment. Honestly, at this point, you might be wondering if Shakespeare himself reincarnated as Kirsch Vermillion just to write you flowery declarations of love. Actually, scratch that—Shakespeare has NOTHING on Kirsch. 🤞

Kirsch’s vanity is the stuff of legends—everyone knows it, and if you didn’t before, you will once you’re in a relationship with him. His confidence is so big, it practically has its own gravitational pull, and yes, it’s going to extend into your relationship in the most hilariously Kirsch-like ways. He’ll often look at you with that dazzling smile of his and say, “My love, how fortunate you are to be with someone as magnificent as me!” But don’t worry—he’s not just here to inflate his own ego. Oh no, Kirsch is very generous when it comes to dishing out compliments. He’ll stroke both your egos at once, like some kind of mutual admiration society where you’re the president, and he’s the very enthusiastic vice president…

Obviously his ego is absolutely massive, but as his partner, you’ll never feel left out. Kirsch will make sure you know that while he is obviously perfection, you’re right there with him at the top. “Together, we are the Clover Kingdom’s most beautiful couple,” he’ll say, with complete sincerity, as if it’s a universally accepted fact. He genuinely believes that when people see the two of you, they stop in awe, blinded by the sheer radiance of your combined beauty. If there ever was a "Most Beautiful Couple" contest in the Clover Kingdom, you’d better believe Kirsch is signing you both up and personally ensuring that you win first place. Just don’t be surprised if he asks you to practice your “winning couple’s wave” in front of a mirror—you know, for when you accept the award you’ve already won in his mind.

The only real downside I can think of when it comes to dating Kirsch is his self-obsession. I know I just said he’s great at praising both himself and you, but let’s be honest—his self-love can be a bit… much. It’s the kind of thing that could make anyone, even you, feel like you’re dating a walking, talking mirror. His obsession with his own beauty can be borderline unbearable at times, but that’s where you come in! As his partner, you’ve basically become a pro at balancing things out—playfully stroking his ego to keep him smiling, but also grounding him when he starts floating off into the stratosphere of his own vanity.

And surprisingly? Kirsch really values your opinion. Sure, he’s as arrogant as they come, but if you point out something he needs to work on, he’ll listen—though maybe with a reluctant sigh or two, and definitely after a couple of gentle nudges. It’s like he’s internally grappling with the idea that there’s even the slightest thing about him that could improve. But because it’s coming from you, he’ll eventually try to make an effort. Just don’t expect a miracle overnight—Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither was Kirsch’s ego.

That being said, he’s always seeking your validation, constantly fishing for compliments like it’s his favorite hobby. You’ll often catch him asking, “Am I not the most handsome nobleman in the land?” And now, you have two options: humor him and bask in his beaming smile as he revels in your agreement, or find a playful way to respond while reminding him not to get too carried away. Maybe something like, “Yes, dear, but let’s not forget that modesty is also a virtue,” or “Of course you are, but you know, some of us are trying to look good too!” Either way, you’ve become the master at handling his vanity without letting it completely take over—keeping him in check while still letting him feel like the nobleman he so deeply believes he is. <3

Kirsch’s affection is like a hurricane of love—you’re constantly in the eye of the storm, surrounded by his attention, compliments, and a never-ending desire to be near you. He’ll find any excuse to touch you, whether it’s holding hands, brushing a strand of hair from your face, or simply sitting as close as humanly possible, just so you’re both basking in his glorious presence—oh, and yours too, of course. He’ll make sure you’re soaking in all the benefits of being with him, but not without returning the favor by idolizing you in the process. However, it can get a little intense, especially when Kirsch starts micromanaging your appearance in the name of "enhancing your perfection" or, even better, "shielding you from corruption," as if you’re about to be swayed by the forces of darkness just because one single piece of hair of yours is out of place. Yeah, he’s weird like that—but you love him anyway.

Sometimes, his overwhelming need to pamper you and monitor every little detail of your look can feel like you’re being smothered in pink velvet and rose petals—luxurious, but a little too much when all you wanted was a cozy shirt and pants kind of day. He’s that guy who will lovingly remind you that “a queen must always look the part,” even when all you’re doing is sitting on the couch for movie night. Sure, it’s Kirsch’s way of showing his love, but you may find yourself playfully wrestling the brush or mirror that he magically just spawned out of his hands every now and then.

If anyone even thinks about insulting or offending you, brace yourself—Kirsch’s attitude will switch faster than you can say “noble fury.” One minute he’s all smiles, the next, he’s making it his personal mission to obliterate whoever dared to sully your perfect image. And let’s be real, he’s not going to handle it quietly. Oh no, Kirsch will make sure everyone in a 10-mile radius knows just how deeply offended he is on your behalf. Expect a grand, dramatic scene that could rival any Clover Kingdom festival—he’ll probably stand up straight, flick his hair back, and give the most dramatic speech known to mankind.

Kirsch has no chill when it comes to defending your honor. It’s as if someone insulting you is the same as insulting him, and honestly, in his mind, it kind of is. You, his flawless partner, are an extension of his beauty, his life’s masterpiece, and if anyone dares to tarnish that image? Oh, they’re going to regret it. And I’m talking big time regret. He might throw in some lines about how they’ve dishonored the very concept of perfection, or that their words have caused irreparable damage to his delicate heart all the while clutching his chest like a damsel in distress. You’d think they insulted his reflection, not yours, with how over-the-top his reaction is.

In Kirsch’s eyes, an insult to you is an attack on everything—his pride, his love, his very existence. He’ll dramatically lament how this heinous act has affected his life in 927292179172 different ways, acting like this insult has personally struck him down. "How dare they! They have brought ruin upon us both!" And while, yes, the offense was aimed at you, it’s clear that the real victim here in Kirsch’s world, is him. Because anything that causes you distress ultimately causes him distress—and that simply cannot stand.

Kirsch has this innate drive to be the best, not just as a Magic Knight but also as your partner. He’s got a little scoreboard in his head, constantly comparing himself to others—even if they don’t know they’re in the competition—and always seeking your reassurance that he’s the best person for you. If he senses anyone might be trying to get your attention, even in the slightest, his competitive streak flares up like a wildfire.

But don’t expect Kirsch to get jealous in that quiet, brooding, “staring out the window dramatically” kind of way. No, Kirsch’s jealousy is far more... theatrical. Instead of sulking, he goes all in on proving that he’s the most elegant, refined, and capable man in your life. Picture him suddenly giving you a demonstration of his magic, casting the most intricate, glittering spell just to remind you how unmatched his beauty and skill are. Even if all you did was casually mention another Magic Knight in passing—“Oh, Finral was really helpful today”—Kirsch will immediately launch into a soliloquy about how they pale in comparison to his grace, his magic, and of course, his irresistible beauty.

He’ll say something like, “Ah, yes, Finral is skilled in his own... humble way. But does he possess the same elegance? The refined flair that only a nobleman such as myself could master? I think not!” And then he’ll probably strike some ridiculous, over-the-top pose as if he's modeling for a portrait. The funny part is that Kirsch is dead serious. He genuinely believes that nobody could possibly compare to him—and that includes everyone from your best friends to the Clover Kingdom’s most powerful Magic Knights. In his mind, he’s already won the “Most Perfect Partner” contest, but just in case you forgot, he’ll spend every waking moment reminding you of it.

As a noble, Kirsch takes his role with the utmost seriousness. He treats nobility like it’s an Olympic sport—and spoiler alert: he’s going for gold. Naturally, he wants you to be right there beside him, shining just as bright. So brace yourself, because he may or may not push you toward his ideal of refinement. You might be thinking, "What does that even mean?" Well, it means Kirsch is going to turn every casual moment into an impromptu finishing school lesson.

If your posture isn’t perfectly regal, don’t worry—Kirsch will swoop in to correct it with the finesse of someone adjusting a priceless vase. He’ll insist on teaching you courtly manners, giving little pointers on the best etiquette for high-society events. “No, no, darling, you must tilt your chin slightly more, like this. It’s all about grace!” It’s exhausting, yes, but Kirsch doesn’t do this to be condescending—he genuinely wants the two of you to be seen as the ultimate power couple, the absolute pinnacle of nobility. It’s like he’s on a personal mission to make sure when people talk about perfect couples, your names are at the top of the list with a spotlight and confetti.

And if you thought date night meant a quiet evening at home, think again. You’ll be expected to attend an endless stream of noble functions and events with him. Kirsch practically lives for these occasions, where he can parade you around in front of high society, beaming with pride. It’s like a red-carpet event every time. He’ll make sure everyone knows just how perfect and enviable your relationship is, always throwing in a few dramatic flourishes. “Isn’t my partner just the embodiment of grace and elegance?” he’ll say, loudly enough for the whole room to hear. Meanwhile, you’re standing there, trying not to not fall under pressure by how many eyes are set on you.

But here’s the thing—Kirsch can sometimes get a little too carried away. In his quest to maintain this flawless image, he might become overly picky or controlling, especially when it comes to appearances. Did you put the wrong fork on the wrong side of the plate at dinner? Oh no, here comes a mini lesson on the "true art" of table setting. It's not that he means to be overbearing, but sometimes his obsession with perfection takes the wheel, and suddenly you’re in a crash course for “How to Be a Noble 101.”

But that’s where you come in. You’re the only one who knows how to rein him in when he gets a bit too intense. With a playful nudge or a well-timed eye roll, you remind him that love is about more than just appearances. It’s about the two of you enjoying each other’s company, not putting on a show for everyone else. And despite his dramatic tendencies, Kirsch listens to you. He values your input, and even though it might take a little while for him to fully realize it, he does eventually see that his obsession with perfection isn’t what keeps your relationship strong—it’s the genuine love you share. And who knows, maybe you’ll get him to relax a little at the next noble event. Well, okay, let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

For all his flair, dramatic speeches, and parade-worthy personality, Kirsch has a softer, more genuine side—one he saves just for you. Behind all the extravagance, there’s a tenderness that only comes out when it’s just the two of you. He loves running his fingers through your hair, each stroke so gentle and caring, it’s almost a surprise that this is the same Kirsch who acts like he’s starring in a romantic drama 24/7. His usual flamboyant energy takes a backseat to real, intimate affection, and you start to see a different side of him. This isn’t the Kirsch who’s commanding attention in a crowded ballroom or waxing poetic about his own reflection. This is the Kirsch who’s just…in love, quietly and sincerely.

And speaking of poetic, he’s surprisingly good at that too. Sure, his public displays of affection are often grandiose and over-the-top, but in these softer moments, he’s unexpectedly deep. He’ll share his thoughts with you about beauty, nature, and the way you make him feel, speaking with a calm, almost philosophical tone. He’s the type to sit beside you, gaze out at the stars, and talk about how the brilliance of the cosmos could never compare to your radiance. Yes, it sounds a little like something you’d find in a romance novel, but trust me—it’s the sincerity in his voice that makes it work. These are the moments where he’s not just admiring your outward beauty, but the deeper connection the two of you share, which is saying a lot for someone as obsessed with appearances as Kirsch.

When the night winds down, you’ll often find Kirsch falling asleep beside you, his arms wrapped around you in a protective yet tender embrace. It’s as if he never wants to let go, like holding you close is the only thing keeping him grounded. It’s here, in these quieter times, that you catch a glimpse of the real Kirsch—the man behind the glamour. The one who just wants to love and be loved, without the pomp, without the flair, without the need to constantly put on a show for the world. In these moments, all the outward bravado melts away, and you’re left with someone who, deep down, just wants to make sure you feel as cherished as he does. And despite all the showmanship, this side of him, this softer side, is just as real and just as beautiful.

Here’s the meme I was talking about. I couldn’t find the original one. Oops.

2024 Recap! Template from here (twt).

Looking back on the year and realizing I did some cool stuff is fun! Even on the busier months, I still managed to do at least one relatively "finished" thing, so I'll need to remember that next time I'm beating myself up for never finishing what I started.

[anarchyrpbook]

LIGHTS OUT a roleplay sentence meme with various mature quotes and sentences taken from navessa allen's lights out. feel free to tweak as needed. content warning: foul language, dark themes (stalking, murder)

how can i trust that you wouldn’t hurt me?

this might sound completely insane, but did you break into my bedroom tonight?

did you break into my house tonight, film a video in my bedroom, and then leave a mask?

i am going to find you, and then we’ll see how much you like it when you come home to discover someone waiting for you in the dark.

you bought me fucking flowers after breaking into my house?

if you meant this as an apology, you failed. i’m madder at you know than i was last night.

why did you get me these things? to make it harder for yourself the next time you try to break in?

are you some sort of sick fuck who likes the challenge?

if i’m the cat, what does that make you? the mouse?

my moral compass might not point north, but it’s not that fucked up.

you are breaking so many laws.

can someone watch me through my laptop camera?

how the hell do i disable the microphone on a laptop?

i am going to find you, and i am going to make you regret this.

don’t mace me.

you’re deranged, you know that?

you’re breathing hard. are you scared?

all this time, you’ve been trying to reassure me that i’m safe with you, but did you ever stop to consider whether or not you were safe with me?

thanks for stitching me up. it was the least you could do after brutally mutilating me, but i appreciate it anyway.

that was so good that i will happily let you maim me whenever you’re feeling frisky.

have you ever heard of the word ‘boundaries’?

doesn’t sound familiar, can you use it in a sentence?

you still there or are you off somewhere plotting my demise?

you’re not some rabid fangirl trying to find out where he lives, right? because stalking is a crime.

you think i don’t know who you are, but i do.

on a scale of 1-10, how mad are you about the tracker?

i’m only willing to allow you a few days. after that, i’m coming for you, whether you’re ready or not. until then, i’ll be watching.

sure, take your time, but i’m going to torture you with my absence until you come to your senses.

you’re so nice that sometimes i forget what a creep you are.

the look on his face was enough to push me to the brink.

it took all my willpower to keep from barging in there.

watching you beat the shit out of him would have been the hottest thing i’ve ever seen.

but just so we’re clear, i’m the only masked man you asked to break into your house, right?

i’ve broken countless laws, but the worst thing i’ve ever done was break into your house and stalk you.

i can’t believe i just murdered someone.

technically, i think what you did classifies as involuntary manslaughter. 

death, i’m okay with; dismemberment, I’m not so sure.

do you want to be my girlfriend? the position comes with snacks and orgasms and maybe a little light stalking.

i feel like disposing of a body is a boyfriend-girlfriend activity, and not something you do with a casual hookup.

are you saying that the couple who commits homicide together, stays together?

if you try to break up with me right now, you’re going to be the one with the stalker.

i just want to keep you safe, and i’m sorry if i’m overbearing about it, but i care about you.

fiber analysis is about as reliable as blood splatter.

you could all disappear tomorrow, and i wouldn’t lose any sleep over it.
