"I was told you all would be out," Essie murmured, just barely glancing over their shoulder to see who it was. But, seeing as it was Nyx, she relaxed some. "Perhaps you should leave, so you don't take the blame. I'll be out in no time."

based on: "worst thing" by notd & kenzie

muse: ethan riley

they were broken up but when they both ran with the same friend group, they couldn't avoid each other forever. it had been months since she had ended their relationship and they were still awkward around each other. ethan's feelings lingered in his heart, but he was in no way ready to express that to her; not when she had been the one to end it. going to a beach house with their friends had seemed like fun despite both of them going, since they could always just avoid and ignore each other. however when they'd run out of beer and ethan and his ex had been the only sober ones, they were forced on a beer run. the drive to town was about an hour from the house, and ethan's mind raced while he steered the car. it wasn't until the engine rattled and the car suddenly pulled to a halt, that ethan begun worrying. "what the hell...?" he wondered and looked from his ex to the road in front of them, as he turned the key in the ignition only for the engine to sputter and not start. they'd been expertly ignoring each other until that moment, and now they'd be forced to come up with a solution together. the model's face twisted into a worried expression as he pulled out his phone. "oh fuck... no signal," he informed her and swallowed, as it'd get dark soon and with no blankets or extra clothes in the car, it was bound to get cold. would it be the worst thing if we have to fog up the windows when it gets dark just to keep us warm? he wondered to himself and bit down on his lower lip, awaiting her reaction.

FLASHBACK - ILHA DE CIRCE. / laughter potion - the muse won't be able to stop laughing for a set amount of time!

                                                              ELA TENTOU AVISAR - e isso a deixava mais irada. lembra-se de ter sibilado : ' essie não mexa nisso ! ' para a mais nova, antes do fatídico momento em que a poção lhe escapou das mãos e encheu o ar de fumaça, qual fez beatrice tossir, tentando se proteger com o cotovelo na frente do nariz - mas era tarde demais. ❛ o que era iss… ❜ não teve tempo sequer de completar sua frase, pois de repente estavam as duas se encarando e começando a rir febris , as pessoas perto do desastre na lojinha da ilha se juntando a elas.

                                                              bee era alta e irreverente no humor projetado pela poção que tinha atingido o chão , os ombros balançavam violentos e ela levava a mão ao estômago , que já se revirava em dor devido a risada. o que ela sentiu no entanto ? pura raiva. ❛ sua filha da mãe, vamos ter que pagar por isso. ❜ ela disse entre tentar fechar a boca, e falhar - também se abanando , lutando as lágrimas que vinham a tona. ❛ eu vou te matar. ❜ mesmo que quisesse, não podia proferir aquelas palavras com seriedade, mas quando aquela névoa passasse e ela já tivesse gastado seus dracmas, planejava pegar a amiga pela orelha como uma mãe em fúria.

"So you mean to tell me that... Zoroarks aren't usually that size?"

[misaligncd]

already he knew that he couldn't fuck things up. essie was the best thing that had happened to him. there was no way in hell he wanted to let her go. he was used to being the one in charge though he always made sure she was comfortable. it was why he had asked her instead of springing it on her. he didn't know how she would really respond till they were in front of everyone. he was relieved to hear that one word as he began to nip at her neck. though her stammered out words made his head lift," they won't." that was one of the rules he had set and he had almost forgot," if they know what's good for them, they won't be stupid, i'll smash their phones if i have to." it was one thing to expose her in front of his friends but for them to have a record of it? there was no way in hell that was allowed. it was with ease that he lifted her up into his arms in order to guide her legs around his middle," we'll stop if it gets to be too much, alright?" he began to carry her into the next room, pulling her into another kiss as he lowered them onto the bed.

Essie nodded. She could follow his lead. She trusted him. He wasn't going to let her fall here, and though she was excited, her nerves were still giving her a bit of pause. It always felt natural to let him lead anyway. Focusing on him, bending to his will, would make it easier. And she could give him exactly what he wanted. God, she wanted to give him that. He was giving her a gift with this. Even if that gift was a little twisted and left her exposed, she still wanted to receive it and give him one in return. "Yeah," she nodded again but soon let her head fall back to give him more access to her neck. "I-I don't want anyone to take pictures." She stated, suddenly pulling away to look at him again. "I don't want- they can see me, but I don't want anyone to have me at any time like that. That- I-I only want you to have that. If you see it, can you- can we stop?"

YESSS OMG SO SO SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG OHMIGOSH I WAS SOSOSOSSOSOSOOOOO BURNT OUT I NEEDED A LITTLE BREAK!!!!!!!!

A LOLITA LAYOVER?! ft MILGRAM ( ♡ )

synopsis: You’ve been making clothing for each of the prisoners for what feels like years; now they have a request for something you could make them.

warning: none!

alo’s notes: I LOVE THIS IDEAAAAAA I LOVE LOLITAS AND JFASHION IN GEN THIS IS SO CUTEE

ES

“ES! C’mere I need you to try something for me!” You’d yell from your cell as you heard ES groan, begrudgingly you watched the 15 year old stomp their way to your cell like a child.

“What?!” ES complained as you held out a pastel colored suit for them, along with a larger cape you had made previously.

“Try these on for me, I put a lot of hard work into making them so you should be appreciative of it!” You remarked proudly as ES took the garments from you going back into their room to change.

Es came out hunched over as you smiled, taking off their hat and ruffling their hair. “Essie!~ Oh your so cute like this!” Es scoffed, rolling their eyes as they swatted your hand from their hair;

“How many times have I told you not to call me that?”

001 SAKURAI HARUKA

It’d been a few months since you’d given Haruka a piece to wear, you’d been thinking about something to make him when you remembered an idea you had months ago.

“Haruka! C’mere I wanna see something!” You called for the blue haired boy, holding something in the small of your hands; he came into your cell with a small ‘huh’ sounding noise as you placed a blueberry pie themed hat onto his head.

Look! It’s a hat I made! You want it?” You asked gingerly as Haruka pulled the hat from his head flipping it around in his hands.

“Mhm.. can I keep it..? Please..?” He’d look at you with expecting eyes, his brow noticeably tugging upwards as he did his best to hold eye contact.

“Yeah of course! I made it just for you!” You’d grin as you watched his face light up, a wobbly smile on his face as he hugged you. “You're the best [Name]!”

002 YUNO KASHIKI

“‘Nother dress for me [Name]?~” Yuno chuckled as you came into her cell with another dress for her to check out. You’d made fairly simple dresses for Yuno as she seemed like the kind of girl to like simple dresses but this time you wanted to be a bit more extravagant.

“Yep! I think you’ll like this one too!~” You smiled, handing Yuno the crinoline lined dress, it had an iconic cupcake shape and special hand threaded lacing on the front, it complemented her hair color.

She gave you a cheeky grin running away to go try it on; coming out shortly after with her uniform in hand and a large smile on her face as she spun around.

“I might just steal this from you [Name]~”

003 FUUTA KAJIYAMA

Fuuta didn't understand the purpose of you bringing him outfits but as time passed he’d ask you to bring him one every few weeks or months, this time around he had come with a request.

A drawing made with Amane’s fresh pack of crayons that he had drawn up on the floor of his cell, showing it to Mahiru before approaching you with it.

It was one of a large bunny sweater, blues and whites with hints of red everywhere.

His face would flush as you listened to his idea of the outfit, happily you obliged, picking out anything that you had to get the job done.

You handed over the bunny sweater watching him pull the large garment over his head as he smiled admiring the feeling of the soft fabric as he felt it through his fingers.

The rough-edged boy seemed dull at that moment, holding your new creation with as much care and delicacy as possible, muttering words of thanks and gratitude as much as he could.

“Thank you.. [Name].. it's fucking amazing..”

004 KUSUNOKI MUU

Muu was never one to ask you for much, she’d never really talk to you either, Muu had been simple and timid when it came to your ability to make clothing for her she wanted to make your life a little bit easier.

She explained the concept of a yellow chiffon-like dress which she had thought about before not knowing how to make or get one.

Reluctantly you made it for her, adding long droopy sleeves and slimmed boning, finally, you handed it over to her the expression on her face reading of both shock and happiness.

“[Name]..! I didn't actually need you to make this! I.. dunno what to say..”

005 KIRISAKI SHIDOU

He’d seen your work with Mahiru and Fuuta, so much so that he wanted to get something from you as well.

You’d look over to the purple patterned fabric lord knows how many times as you stitched it to the inner side of the coat, sighing deeply as your fingers held the needle tightly.

You questioned your ability as you gripped the fabric, feeling your shoulder become warmer with a tight yet soft grip.

“The coat looks good.. I can't wait to see the finished product.”

006 SHIINA MAHIRU

Mahiru had always been fashionable, looking so dolled up even in her prison uniform. Now Mahiru cuddles up to you while you make her a new dress.

“This fabric is so much cuter than this one.. oh! But this one is so much softer!”

She doted over the fabrics you'd placed in front of her as she felt the difference between them.

“[Name]!~ Help me pick out one of these!~” She’d squeal as she hugged your shoulders playfully, nuzzling her face into the crook of your neck as she smiled at you.

008 MOMOSE AMANE

Throughout your time knowing Amane she had never once asked you for anything large, majority of the time the only thing she'd ask of you was just if you could patch up the uniform they supplied her.

Amane seemed to be working with her impulses today instead of usually working against them, coming up to you requesting a green and blue dress.

As to your surprise she wanted to watch you make her dress, not only that but she wanted to be actively involved in it as well, even going as far to ask for large changes throughout the process.

009 MIKOTO KAYANO

Mikoto was the first person to ask you if you'd be willing to make clothing for him, whether it’d be hats, sweaters, or socks he’d always have something for you.

Tonight was no different, Mikoto and you just sat there in your cell as you stitched together a pair of mittens by hand, he’d just watch over you, his hand over yours as he inspected your handy work.

Your legs thrown over each other as you leaned into his chest, your back pressed up against his body, his chin on your shoulder.

“[Name], can I try these on when you're done?"

[bloodwiine]

closed starter for @mortiiferas ( luc ) masquerade event.

After an unpleasant run in with Cade, Essie was desperate for some fresh air and stepped outside to excuse herself, letting out an instantaneous scream. She'd figured the music and ball was so loud, that no one would overhear or think twice. "I swear I could murder him," she huffed out, only hearing the door open after she'd said it causing a frown to curve onto her expression. "Sorry, I didn't mean-" she began, but at the sight of a familiar face, a sigh of relief escaped. "Oh thank goodness, it's just you. Wait, that sounds bad, I just meant that you won't judging me for screaming about killing Cade," she quickly recovered with a strained chuckle. "I'm surprised to see you away from Nyx, you two are always joined at the hip, everything okay?"

halloween is over so it’s time to give my nails a bit of a chop (and i might be Going Somewhere tomorrow and didn’t want my little hand drawn halloween nails for that sfdd). holo taco happily ever aqua and essie in plane view for the accent nail, ft. some cheap rings from claire’s sfsd

in shade, happily ever aqua is a very pretty icy blue, and then in direct light the holo comes alive. you can kinda also see it in indirect light depending, but direct light is where holo shines the most lol. i wasn’t planning on doing an accent nail, but had decided to do in plane view on my toes this month and seeing the bottles next to each other i was like 🤔 that’s a really pretty combo…

actually essie’s 2020 spring break collection is one of my favorite polish collections (partly because it was the first one i was aware of as being A Collection lol, i hadn’t known even drugstore brands do those), it’s a very pretty color story even if releasing a spring break collection in february (iirc) 2020 ended up being a bit…ill-fated lol.

also, i feel seche vive (and presumably also vite) is Most Worth It on solid colored cremes, if you’re looking for a gel-like finish/plump glossy look. specialty finish polishes imo are pretty much never going to look like their gel equivalents. i do still like it though lol

[exsanguinatc]

"I find it hard to believe anyone would ever give you grief." But was she meant to feel guilty that she would never be that woman, ashamed that she was never going to be brave enough or bold enough to step in and rescue someone the way he had her if they did? Because she did. She bit at the inside of her cheek. Even just the thought of drawing attention to herself like that and having the guts to do it made her stomach twist. More often than not, Essie just wanted to disappear. She wanted to fade into the background like everyone else did so she could simply exist. It was what she'd been trying to do when she'd tucked herself at the end of the bar. If tonight had gone the way she'd wished, she would have been nothing more than another face in the crowd, enjoying the rare presence of people without having to engage with them. Of course, it hadn't.

The spiral of her thoughts was interrupted though, when he reached for her sore hands before she had a chance to realize why she'd heard him apologize to someone next to them. She couldn't tell which was more shocking- the chill of the ice or the warmth of his skin against hers. She felt her cheeks getting hot regardless. Nobody ever really touched her. She didn't let them. There were too many instances of grabbing and groping and people trying to tear their way to getting a piece of her, but he touched her so casually that her hands relaxed almost instantly at his urging and accepted the ice cubes he left in them. "Thanks, that... It does. It helps." Though she wasn't sure if it was the ice or the contact that was doing it. Maybe it was just the fact that he'd noticed.

She tried to meet his eyes as he spoke. She didn't want to be rude. There was an ease to him that she couldn't help but envy. Her friends would've loved him, the ones who had no problem mingling among the crowd and flitting from one person to another. But she didn't want her friends to love him. For now, even if it was just for a few minutes, he was making the place bearable. And though his appearance had been a little jarring at first, Essie found that she rather liked watching and listening to him. She liked it enough that his question barely registered. Her brain had to catch up again. "My friends talked me into coming. I, um, I don't dance. They do. They're...somewhere."

And she didn't blame them for leaving her and wanting to have their fun. She'd insisted that it was okay, and it was. They deserved a good night out as much as anyone, so she forced what she hoped looked like the easy smile of someone who didn't care. "So, what did you do to your friends? To, you know, to make them stand you up?"

eammon could tell from her expression that he’d crossed a line or two, and though it wasn’t intentional, his lips twisted into a lopsided smirk, a rough laugh spilling out between them like a thunderclap. a mix of things had him in good spirits, but her reaction was neck-and-neck with the idiot who’d legged it. it was a fact, few dared to take him on in a fight, which was partly a blessing—it let him channel all that fiery temper into underground fights where he could earn a decent wad for the month.

it wasn’t until they were left alone that he really let himself take her in fully, noticing the tension in her body and the discomfort written all over her face. " anyone with half a brain and a bit of sense would’ve done the same. come on, i might be a giant, but i’d love for some woman to come to my rescue if the female version of that tosser started giving me grief, " he admitted with a chuckle. his eyes followed hers to her twisted fingers. glancing at the drinks on the bar, he apologised to the couple next to him as he dunked his hand into a glass of water, fishing out a few ice cubes. then, he took her hands in his, first rubbing the cubes over the backs before letting her hold them. " this’ll help. "

eammon found her flustered words amusing, thinking she was adorable, like a burst of violet in the dim glow of the place. " i’m here on my own. let’s just say my mates stood me up, and i needed a drink. not that i need you to buy me a round or anything, i think i’d rather just enjoy the company. " he leaned an elbow on the bar, watching her closely before lifting his whiskey and taking a long sip. " so, what brings you here? no offence, but this doesn’t seem like your kind of place... and i reckon you’d be having more fun on the dancefloor than sitting here. girls alone at the bar tend to attract nutters. "

"You're making me want to indulge more," Essie's smile mirrored Scarlett's, unable to help but add a couple more for varieties sake. "Truly, some people shouldn't be allowed to cook them, it's a waste of quality bird. I'm not going to lie, I wish I had brought a tupperware box or two with me. It'd be great to stock up on leftovers for a week," she joked, chuckling at the other before continuing on, "Or the, oh that's so great, your husband did that but did you hear about mine? Like yours but just a smidge better? It makes you wonder how many of the so-called friendships are just for show."

"Oh, kiddo, you don't get these curves by not having an appetite," Scarlett said with a bright smile, a playful twinkle in her eye before she turns to survey the offerings, adding a few more goodies to her plate before sinking her teeth into one. "No, that's the best indication of the rest of the food, though, because there are some tough chickens out there. I'm gonna have to toss some of that on my next trip up," she said, pondering with a thoughtful expression before snorting. "Oh god, don't tell me, this place is so lovely, and oh you look marvelous and how's your insert relationship here? I've had enough of that to last a lifetime."
