#he was asking about my partner’s sister who is on disability and was like *what’s she got*….. I was like. no. we are not doing this

[autumnoakes]

i hate that people seem to value my potential worth with a bachelor's degree ("you'll make more money!" as if my degree program isn't one of the least useful degrees if you're not going into med school) over my mental health. as if monthly OCD-induced and autistic meltdowns aren't bad enough.

it's not like i'm a semester or two away from graduating. i have a couple YEARS left. i'm still technically in my third year in my degree. i can only manage 3 courses at the very most and any more causes me to burn out and my executive dysfunction plummets

I am so deeply upset at my father rn, this man is pathetic

[am-i-the-asshole-official]

Aita for assuming my coworker is a toxic partner?

I, 22M, work in a big chain restaurant with a bunch of people my age. Recently, one of the bussers who’s been at this branch since it opened two years ago (I’m a relatively newer higher but not by much, just not og staff) turned 19 and revealed that he has started dating one of the other servers that he’s been friends with for a while, let’s call the two of them Busboy (19 ftm), and Server (21 MtNB)

I’ve got nothing wrong with Busboy. He’s a hard worker, a little odd sometimes, and he’s been with our location for a long time. He and Server are both original staff members and the two have done a lot together, especially after Busboy turned 18 in December of 2022. Server set up Busboy’s first tattoo appointment, they go to the movies all the time, and at work they keep things friendly but professional. Honestly, we all kinda thought they were already dating before Busboy told everyone

Recently, Server got fired because of a stupid management rule about tables that walk out without paying. It sucked, but Server wasn’t really the best waiter anyways and there wasn’t really any lost love. Another waiter, let’s call him Closer (24M), and his wife (23F) have started hosting game nights at their apartment with Closer’s sister and some of her friends. As far as I know, Busboy and Server have been frequent attendants and tbh it looks like a lot of fun. Closer sent a general invite to the work group chat and me and some other coworkers decided to head over tonight

When we got there, it was fine at first. We were mixing drinks (no drinks for Closer’s wife since she’s pregnant or Busboy since he’s underaged) and playing games when I see Busboy take Server’s drink from them and tell them to stop drinking. Server sort of nodded real small like and I don’t know, it set off an alarm bell in my head. To paint a picture, Busboy is a fit young white guy even if he doesn’t pass that well while Server is a fat Mexican person with a lot of acne and stuff like that. Busboy’s also been known to cite his alleged disabilities to get out of work from time to time and he’s picky when ordering around the other bussers at work. Regardless of him being a Trainer, it’s just off putting yk?

I keep watching them before I asked Server if they wanted to be on my team for a card game we all wanted to play. Server looked to Busboy for permission and Busboy gave me a strange look before slowly agreeing. When Server and I were off by ourselves, I asked them if everything was okay. They didn’t really give me an answer, just sort of shrugged and said that it wasn’t anything I can do. Can you see where I’m going with this?

While we played the game, Busboy got very loud and obnoxious, saying inside jokes that only he, Closer and Server would know from when they opened our restaurant location, frequently interrupted my team and chastised me for offering Server some of my lemondrop drink, saying: “can’t you see that they clearly don’t want any?”

And here’s where I may be the asshole, I said: “How about you shut up and ask him what he wants?”

I know, I misgendered Server on accident, and I corrected myself in the moment, but the room went silent and Busboy got really confused and said: “But i did?”

I asked him: “When? They’ve spent all night stuck to your side, it looks like you’ve got them on a leash.”

Closer made an inappropriate joke to lighten the mood, but Busboy looked really confused and kept asking everyone if that’s what it looked like. I said: “yeah, it does. [Server], what do you want to do?”

Server said; “I don’t know, man, what are we upset about?”

But when I tried to explain that Busboy was acting really suspicious all night, everyone started telling me that I was wrong and that this wasn’t true, that Busboy’s always like this. It didn’t make any sense to me! I asked if Busboy always micromanages how Server drinks and Closer said; “no, but it’s [Server]’s turn to drive the two of them home. Usually [Busboy] drives and it’s a long drive, but today they’re in [Server]’s car.”

I ended up leaving pretty soon after and I feel really silly about the whole thing. So, tumblr, Aita?

What are these acronyms?

Victor & Yuri appreciation post ♥

My beautiful boys have aged well, and in my opinion this is the best they've ever looked. I will never not appreciate these two. Writing their "journey of discovery" story took me over two years, and I'm glad I saw it through, because these characters deserve it.

They were characters of mine long before I ever made sim avatars for them, but I've had fun with them as their sim avatars as well. A lot of the CC i've made over the years and a handful of builds have all been for them. Whenever I want to quit The Sims, I always come back to playing with these two, and whenever I'm discouraged with the writing process, I look at what I've done with these characters.

A lot of people ask if Yuri and Victor are that Yuri and Victor (from YOI). The answer is no; they are not fan fiction characters. If you're curious, Victor and Yuri's origin story is here.

__________

A little about Victor & Yuri...

Victor Thomas Edward Okamoto-Nelson birthday: 2 December gender: male pronouns: he/him occupation: paediatric nurse spouse: Yuri Okamoto-Nelson child: Caroline Lily May Okamoto-Nelson (adopted)

random facts about Victor

Victor is a former competitive snowboarder. He retired from competition to attend nursing school. He's still obsessed with snowboarding though.

When he was six, his father Thomas and baby sister Caroline were killed by an impaired driver driving through a crosswalk

He is terrified of thunderstorms and has been ever since he was a child

He has a hereditary genetic abnormality which caused his hair to turn prematurely silver. His hair was completely silver by the time he was thirteen, and by eighteen, his eyebrows, eyelashes, body hair and facial hair were also completely silver.

He always thought he had a mild learning disability, but it turned out that he actually had a correctable eye condition that made reading difficult for him

He and Yuri met online, on a forum for snowboarding enthusiasts. They had a long distance relationship for three years, during which time Victor threw himself into learning to speak Japanese in preparation for going to join Yuri in Japan.

He loves dogs and has a gift for dog training

His pain tolerance is very low and he doesn't do well with being sick. Yuri teases him about it, but would move the earth to take care of him and make sure he's as comfortable as possible whenever he's sick or hurt.

He cries easily, which is one of the things he likes least about himself

His favourite colour is red

Yuri Okamoto-Nelson birthday: 20 September gender: male pronouns: he/him occupation: communications professional spouse: Victor Okamoto-Nelson child: Caroline Lily May Okamoto-Nelson (adopted)

random facts

Yuri was born prematurely, at thirty weeks. Initially, he wasn't expected to survive the first forty-eight hours of his life, but he defied all the odds and survived. He loves his birthdays and always wants to make a big deal of them because he sees them as a celebration of another year of being alive rather than just being another year older.

He has a lot of health issues, but despite being chronically ill, he's determined to live the best life possible. He's physically active when he feels well, and loves snowboarding, yoga, swimming and dancing.

He's the oldest of three children. He's closest with his youngest sister Shirayuki and is estranged from his other younger sister Hana

He owns his own business, BRAVE Communications, which is a PR and communications firm. He runs it alongside his friend and business partner, James Fairchild, who is also disabled

Yuri is a survivor of intimate partner violence, from his one and only relationship before meeting Victor

He once made 1,000 paper cranes, and wished for happiness. Shortly thereafter, he and Victor met online.

He loves animals, but was never allowed to have a pet growing up. He was overjoyed when Victor agreed that he could adopt a dog, and he adopted a rescued Pomeranian whom he named Sango. Over the years since then, he's had a lot of pets

He likes to write, and has published three children's books so far, along with his friend Fox Abbottsford, who did the illustrations.

His favourite food is strawberries. He will eat just about anything that's strawberry-flavoured, but for him, nothing is better than fresh strawberries.

His favouite colous are yellow and pink

__________

*** Their married surname is Okamoto-Nelson. Victor's original surname was Nelson and Yuri's was Okamoto, but they couldn't decide who should take who's name when they got married, so they decided to combine them.

In a similar vein to the one from May 13th about how alienating it is to grow up aspec regardless of your environment:

I also grew up in a very open and affirming environment. My parents were very open to us about things like gender, sexuality, and disabilities. When my mom was pregnant with my sister I learned the actual biological way having children worked- the watered down version for a young child of course. Still threw the doctor for a loop when a four year-old he was trying to explain it to corrected him that the embryo was in the uterus, not tummy.

This has always extended to sexuality and gender too. They never minded my sister and I exploring our gender, and have repeatedly affirmed that they will still love us if we like the same sex. Hell, even the church we attended gave sex-ed to the 6-8th graders where we learned about different sexualities, genders, and they were very blunt. We discussed abortion and how to apply a condum at 11-14 years old.

But even in this environment where it was absolutely okay to love who you love and be who you are- that didn't apply to an aspec kid. You can love who you love, but you have to love someone. I have a crystal clear memory of being 11 years old, questioning aroace, and submitting a question to our anonymous question box. The question basically asked, "I know you can be asexual but not aromantic or aromantic and asexual, but can you be aromantic but not asexual?" This was before I had learned about being aroallo. The teachers answered that yes, you could be aroallo, as being aro and ace are two separate identities. It was very validating, even thought I am not aroallo, because they mentioned that aro and ace people exist!! They even defined the terms for kids who didn't know what they are!

...

I should've known it's never that simple.

This same class states less than an hour later that "all of you are sexual beings, whether you feel that way now or not."

It's not easy to grow up aspec no matter the environment. It took me 3 months to work up the courage to come out to my mom, and while she was supportive she immediately jumped into a speech about how it's okay if I change my mind later and that I'm still a minor and nobody expects me to have it all figured out yet. I didn't ask if you thought I was too young, or for reassurance that I can change my identity. I asked for your support, and to please not question my identity. God knows I do it enough for everyone on Earth and then some. Just let me live, and please stop pressuring me about when I'm going to get a partner

Hi Ginny, what do you think of my interpretation of Elle x Akio?

Elle and Akio

Elle didn’t have much friends because one, she was very shy and timid to make a move and two, she wasn’t liked very much due to the fact that she was basically a teacher’s pet, that and she was one of, if not the most smartest girls at Auradon Prep.

But all of that comes to an end where one dreadful morning where Elle accidentally rolled onto Audrey’s brand new shoes while she tried to open her locker. Audrey viciously scolded Elle to the point where she was humiliated and cried herself to the bathroom. She didn’t meant to hurt Audrey.

Audrey then soon realized she made a grave mistake by humiliating a girl who was wheelchair bound and as a result, she was given a death threat by Elle’s older sister, Melody.

When all of that drama was over, she was outside eating lunch when a kind boy came to her named Akio. He was Anna and Kristoff’s son.

“Hey Elle. Are you alright?” He asked her gently.

“Yeah, I think so,” she sniffed.

From that day, Elle made a friend, and a potential romantic partner, and same goes for Akio.

Well, she knew Akio for a very long time, it’s just that she never talked with him until now. And she was happy when he did.

Since that day, they’ve always been together everyday at school. Some people thought that they were a couple, but that was further from the truth. Elle even explained to him about how she was paralyzed from the waist down.

“….yeah and that’s how I got paralyzed,” Elle explained. “Because of that one horrible crash on my home from Audrey’s 6th birthday party.”

“I’m so sorry to hear, Elle. The greatest thing was that you were miraculously saved and still here.”

“I know, and that’s why I’m grateful everyday.”

Elle didn’t realize she was falling for Akio, and Akio was slowly falling for her as well, despite her disability.

Overtime, they gotten more closer each passing day, with Akio showing Elle his ice powers, but they were too scared to confess to each other.

“That’s so cool!” Elle exclaimed. “Are you able to control your powers?”

“Yeah.”

One time, Akio was kind of jealous when Elle was hanging out with Shang, but she later on explained that she was helping him to expose that horrible Physics teacher.

From that moment, Elle realized that Akio was truly falling for her.

After going back and forth with their friendship/ relationship during the 10th grade because they were too chicken, Elle and Akio became a couple when Elle was in the 12th grade(she skipped a grade) and Akio was in the 11th grade.

“Here, I made a cute bracket made of thick ice for you,” Akio said as he tenderly puts on the bracket on Elle’s hand.

“Awww! Thank you, Aki!” Elle kissed his cheek.

When Elle graduated from Auradon Prep and work as a lab tech, her and Akio’s relationship was stronger than ever, especially when she was closely monitoring her friends who were on the Isle giving food to the needy.

“You’re such a kind soul,” Akio noted. “You know that, right?”

“I know. Mom and Dad always tell me that Melody and I should be kind and smile despite adversity.”

As soon as Akio graduated from Auradon Prep, and shortly after Bal’s wedding, he decided that was going to propose to his mermaid princess, and he just did that.

“Yes, Akio!!” Elle screamed happily as she kissed her fiancé. “I will marry you!”

“What a lucky guy I am.”

Three months after Akio proposed to his girlfriend, they were finally married.

Their wedding was quiet small since Elle would get overwhelmed with too much crowd but it was perfect in her eyes as it was the best day of Elle’s life as she married her best friend and partner.

“Eeek” Anna squealed as she hugged Elle while letting Krystal, Akio’s little sister sat on her lap. “I have two daughters now!”

“And I have two sons now,” Ariel giggled as she watched Eric gave Akio a hearty clap on his back while Akio held Ethan, Elle’s little brother.

…

“How does it feel to be my wife?” Akio asked.

“It feels great!” Elle beamed. “Now we can be together forever.”

After three years of marriage, Elle and Akio became parents to three wonderful children named Amelia, Abel and Esther. With Amelia being the eldest and her twin siblings born a year after.

“Y’know, seeing the twins standing in their cribs and making an attempt to crawl gives me motivation to work on my feet,” Elle said as she watched her four month old twins trying to crawl on the mat while Amelia was asleep in her nursery.

“Are you planning to, despite doctors saying that you can never walk?” Akio asked.

“Yeah, I’m going to do physiotherapy to test my legs.”

“Very well then. I’m here for you as your support system.”

“Thank you, Aki,” Elle kissed his cheek. “Thank you.”

Elle would have never thought her life would have ended up this way, but she was glad as this was her happily ever after.

Oh this was amazing! Thank you for sharing this :D

Rant. About my mom treating me like a literal child at almost 30 (which is the case for many disabled people).

Just had to remind my mom that I'm not a child and she can't just wash a random load of laundry (none of it mine), tell me to fold it, and then say "I told you to fold them two days ago!" whenever I don't do it (especially with the fibromayalgia in my arms)

I had to remind her that I am a roommate that pays bills, not a 12 year old child. I asked her if she would have done that to her old roommate, who was also disabled – just tell her friend to do chores or else.

She started screaming at me of course. I told her that I don't need someone to scream at me for setting a boundary. Still kept screaming. I told her she was the one acting like a literal child, throwing a temper tantrum until she gets what she wants.

Another example:

She came in and yelled at me for taking too long to leave after I clearly told her I would need to wait until I wasn't dizzy, and if I couldn't go, I'd tell her. Her Hardee's was more important.

She does it to my brother and sister, too. And our partners. She plans things for us to do and then gets angry and claims no one does anything if we don't. My sister is 44 on thr 13th and my mom still screams at her for not doing what she wants.

If my mom makes plans to do things for the day, but doesn't feel good enough to, it is now my responsibility.

"I was gonna clean the house and go to the store but I can't so I need you to."

"I can't do that today."

"Well, it needs to be done."

"I literally have a housekeeper for this reason. She's literally going to be here tomorrow."

"It needs to be done today."

"That does not automatically and suddenly make me feel good enough to do it."

"I can't be the only one that does anything around here"

"I had a list up of chores my housekeeper and I have done because you say that but you rarely do anything. I mop the floors 1-2 times a week. You don't do it at all. You erased the list of chores I did off of the whiteboard. Convenient."

"Would you like it if I kept a list of all the chores I do, too?"

"Yeah actually that way you can see that I do 3x as much work as you despite having chronic pain AND a housekeeper that does the other half of my work"

"You're ungrateful."

My dad had this issue with her too when he was alive. He did most of the housework, car repair, shopping, and driving. My mom would clean the house one time and scream the entire time about how "no one ever does anything."

She's a fucking whiny ass entitled ass baby and it pisses me off.

Only her feelings matter. If anyone else doesn't feel good at the same time as her, they're "obviously faking it" to get out of helping her.

STILL not as bad as my old landlords. That's the saddest part.

Thoughts on Helluva Boss Oops episode! 😈🤡

Everything’s tagged as #hb spoilers until tomorrow for those who haven't seen it yet!

Not a cuckoo c**k for a clock!

Wakey-wakey Ozzie (not a morning person apparently)! *airhorns*

"Burger time! Burger time! Burger Time!" Ok, Fizz is starting to become my new favorite character! Also, why he pronouncing vibrators like that???

Greed Ring having a city named Ransom? Yep, that sounds about right for the ring.

I FUCKING KNEW HE CALLS HIM BIG DADDY!!! AND "Fizzie-frog"?!?!?! Too cute, <3.

And look at them big ol' eyes, I definitely couldn't say no to that face:

"We're so NOT in love!" "Yeah! Love. Is. STUPID!!!" Denial's not just a river in Egypt, you two!!!

"I'll be SUPER low-key!" ... Riiiiight.

The Queives (plural for Queefs, according to the subtitles). And the little disabled one??? VIV, WE WANT NAMES FOR THE LIL GUYS ASAP!!!

Enter Blitzø, who's complaining about some shitty coffee place!

"Well, at least I'm still actually working for my shit & not getting everything handed to me like some pampered attention wh**e!" VS "Plus, my horns were always bigger than yours... weren't they?"

Crimson & Striker teamup! Guess Blitzø & Fizz are gonna have to put their beef aside and work together to get away from them!

Ozzie & the Dildo Factory

So asking for an asmodean crystal was real! Poor Stolas being conflicted about how he feels towards Blitzy.

And Ozzie respecting people's hookup intentions and having the idea of lust as a consensual thing? Glad to know he's not like Valentino, who as far as we know, monetizes sex & treats his workers like shit/his property.

"My partner-um BUSINESS partner" Yep, keep telling yourself that Ozzie, at least you and Stolas are in the same boat for that!

Jeez Crim, what's your problem with Ozzie???

More Blitzø VS Fizz drama

Also Blitzø, Stolas does seem to care, he just has a tough time trying to say it to your face and plus, you're no better by bottling up your true feelings for him & then push him away like whatever!

Fizz, I love you now, but also envy you for having Striker grab you by the neck like that!

"I SAID WATCH 'EM, NOT F**K 'EM!!!" Typical Crimson

Damn, Ozzie could've signed over Fizz's head to be one of Crimson's wall trophies if Stolas wasn't there to help him out!

Nope nevermind, that wasn't the real contract! Also, why does Crimson want more dildos after failing to convice Moxxie that they're around the house for "his liking"??? I'm guessing he's trying to recuperate the funds he lost after Millie murdered all his goons & trashed his place!

Happy owl noises:  "I love words!" He's such a dork, I'm living for it! <3

Blitzø always having something up his sleeves when it comes to escape plans!

FINALLY, FLASHBACK/ANSWERS ON THEIR FALLING OUT!!! No wonder why Fizz & Barbie hate Blitzø's guts & Blitzø acts the way he does.

He's very much aware that he screwed up big time even if it was an accident and never meant to almost kill his bestie, traumatize his sister, & HIS MOM!!!

I'm guessing Cash was the one who tried splitting them up. He went as far as to give Fizz a birthday card that literally says "I wish you were my son"!!!

"WE'RE TRYING TO HAVE A F**KING EMOTIONAL MOMENT HERE!"

Using Blitzø as a human/imp? shield does kinda serve him right in a way

"Kaiju C**k". Yep Fizz, we're very much aware that Ozzie's a big boy

"Look At This" has been stuck in my head since listening it for the first time. Perfect distraction musical that makes no sense other than just being a distraction musical!

"So, f**king, BYE BYE!!!" 🎶

Damn, cowboy daddy's starting to go insane in the brain! He's most likely gonna have burned scars now the next time (yep, he got away again) we see him!

You can take Blitzø out of the circus, but you can't take the circus out of Blitzø!

THE BOIS HUGGED IT OUT!!!! Hope this means they're on more neutral terms now! I get that it might take Fizz a while to fully forgive & start over with Blitzø now that they're aware of the whole misunderstanding on both their ends, but still, it's a start!!!

"Woooould it f**k up the moment if we made out now?" Blitzø please, we're aware you had a (love) note for Fizz before the incident, but he's clearly happily taken by one of the 7 sins!

Fizzmodeus/Fizzarozzie reunited & it feels so good! <3

At least they're trying to be more open about their relationship, even if it's limited to their coworkers/entourage at the moment!

Welp, looks like Stolas is getting that crystal after all!

I'd say this is the best episode so far out of Season 2, Fizz & Ozzie were totally worth the wait and have now become part of my top 5 characters of the show!!!

🥛 if you don't he'll let you have your alone time

🥛 either way, the next day before he leaves for his shift he'll leave you a lovely note on the table

in general, i think most people in our lives approve…? there are nuances for each ren, but like. for doc! and v!ren, his coworkers think he's become more… personable? i guess? he's a little more open, a little more vulnerable, a little less reliant on his mask. he's always been FRIENDLY, and he doesn't necessarily HIDE things like his interests, but he also isn't super open about things until he's more comfortable with himself in a general sense. r!ren's coworkers are like "oh he's WAY friendlier, he doesn't immediately fight back if someone's kind of an asshole to him, PLEASE keep it up" LMAO ;;; his dnd group coworkers would doubly appreciate that ldksml. my friends, selfship and from college, would probably like any version of him tbh... nice and sociable, shares interests, doesn't have any of the worrying features my college friends have seen from partners of people around us... i think he might set off some slight alarm bells from how strong he comes on to me at the start, but that's more like a beige flag if anything KJNASDJK. it'd only be a problem if they knew about what doc! and v!ren do later... which goes for anyone around us tbh hghghg. his sister cass and i get along in all verses ksjdnfkjn, but especially in r!ren's verse (they live together so i see her more often); she's seen all of his past relationships and is like "oh this person is chill? and my brother genuinely likes them instead of just liking the fact that he's in a relationship? sick. they're Family now." and i haven't really fleshed her out yet, but i think her daughter would at least not Dislike me lmao? i could see her being a little jealous that when her uncle comes to visit he spends some of his time being ~gross~ with this other person, and she may have seen his previous partners and expect me to be the same, but after some time she'd realize i'm sticking around and i'm not as detached as those other people were…. plus kids like me bc i can draw things for them so KJSDNFKJNSFK that'd definitely persuade her ;;; no matter what i think she'd be mostly cordial; she's a sensible kid, just like her mom! both of our parents, though……. he wants to keep me as far away from his parents as possible ;; not only does he want to cut contact for his sake (and r!ren already has), but they'd also look down on me for my disability issues. and my mom's… well… she'd "like" doc! and v!ren for superficial reasons, and she'd dislike r!ren for equally superficial reasons but tolerate him bc she thinks any kind of romantic relationship > being alone. same with my aunt; she'd just be more upfront and vocal about it. my cousin… would see him a bit more as a real person, though i think she'd still have some unfair judgements. and FINALLY jkdnsfkj, r!ren's grandparents. i think they'd like me as a person, but they'd be worried that we'd have difficulty with things like living together from a financial standpoint. which is fair tbh. if we could figure that out, they'd be gucci lmao.

Misty Rose: If your fo wanted to plan something big and special for you, who would they go to for help/ advice? A close friend of theirs, a close friend of yours, etc? Or are they persistent on doing it by themselves?

oh, he'd go to cass for SURE. she's good at reading people, as part of her job; in doc! and v!ren's cases, she's the one who nudges him into acknowledging the feelings he was trying so hard to ignore, bc she saw just how Pubby (tm) he was around me hhghgh. and in r!ren's case, of course, they live together, so it's only natural that she would find out about his crush. he has strong observation skills of his own thanks to his people-pleasing nature, but he also constantly second-guesses himself; he'd appreciate having someone to bounce ideas off of or ask for advice, especially if that someone also has good observation skills and may have noticed things he hasn't… doesn't mean he wouldn't fumble things in the end, though, lol. cass: "you could take them to a nice rooftop restaurant, drop some hints that you may be interested them." doc! and v!ren: /takes me to the restaurant, proceeds to drunkenly ask me if he could kiss me before he even asks me out/ and while doc! and v!ren would have a good idea of nice and fun places and restaurants to go to, because he likes to roam around the city during his off time to take his mind off of things, r!ren lives in a rural area where going anywhere requires a car. plus... money. cass would probably have a better idea of good places to go ;;

i already answered chocolate cosmos here, so i'll do what you did and choose another one~ >:3

Jasper: What's a song that reminds your f/o of you? A song that they'll hear and will always think of you.

Nearly Witches by P!ATD for doc! and v!ren 💛 How does a heart love if no one has noticed Its presence, and where does it go? Trembling hands play my heart like a drum But the beat's gotten lost in the show You have set your heart on haunting Me forever from the start It's never silent Fineshrine by Purity Ring for r!ren 💙 That I might see with my chest and sink Into the edges 'round you Into the lakes and quarries that brink On all the edges 'round you, 'round you, 'round you Get a little closer, let fold Cut open my sternum and pull My little ribs around you The lungs of me be crowns over you

(ask game here)

[dissociationstationtales]

This morning our partner gave us a small lecture on why we can’t be too childish and said to me “I’m still waiting to see [an alter who has been merged in for a while] in you.” I don’t really know what that is supposed to mean besides that I (the way I am) is not good enough. Then they muttered under their breath as well “maybe it’s my fault”, but I don’t see how that helps anything at this time. It felt weirdly timed since he had just been upset and irritable just moments before. We honestly feel like the majority of the time we aren’t doing too bad to be an adult, but we know we are lacking in the executive function department. We already feel plenty guilty about how we cannot keep up physical due to disability and now we are struggling to keep up mentally as well. A lot happens in a day. We have to be extra grownup when our partner is at work because we are needed to help out with all four grandkids (ages 5, 10, 10, 12) in different ways during their homeschool lessons with my mom /the kids’ grandma. It is a mental strain to push ourselves to be more adult during the morning and early afternoon, but we still find a way to make sure kids get to and from school on time and go grocery shopping regularly for our partner. The really dumb things is that they have asked for me to more or less function like a mom or older sister towards them when we tend to age slide down after our adult activities as a way to relieve some of that stress and our partner does the same. They want us however to be okay with keeping an eye on them when their mental age can shoot down as low as 6 or 7 and so we feel obligated to protect them in that state of mind. But where is our chance to just relax and be younger? I don’t feel very welcome since I tend to hover around 16 or 17 mentally. I don’t feel like our partner wants us to be childish at all while they continue to have episodes involving their own age sliding down to as far as 8 at any time of day or night and we push ourselves to be adult in those moments especially. It makes us feel like we cannot confide in them as they tend to get overwhelmed and panic when we tell them how stressed out we are. Getting a little tired of what is beginning to feel like double standards. We have no idea how to handle this situation and are worried we are overreacting and don’t realize it. We just want things to make sense again…

Soulmate au where first five words are written on the chest. Steve rogers is trying to find his until is getting attacked by reader zemo, the sister of baron zemo. he found out that reader is his soulmate

It's you - Steve Rogers

Summary: In a world where five letters define who will be the love of your life. Steve finds his soulmate in an unexpected way.

Pairing: Steve Rogers x Fem!Zemo reader 

Author’s note: Okay yes, I think I might need to watch the movies again because I'm already a bit rusty about Steve, and to be honest,there are things I don't remember anymore, but I tried my best, hahaha.

Hope you like it and thanks for requesting!

Five letters. Steve has had those five letters tattooed on his right chest for as long as he can remember. Well, it's not his fault. Everyone in the world was born like this. Five letters. 

Five letters that determine who is your soulmate, your better half. The person you will spend the rest of your life with. 

Everyone, including his friends, his family, have found their life partner but Steve… Years. He hasn't found his in years. 

So focused on them, he doesn't hear Nat knocking lightly on the door. Steve responds with a slight come in. 

“Steve” is the first thing Nat says as she opens the door. Steve turns to find her standing in the doorway of it. 

"What?" He asks as he walks over to his closet to find a shirt to wear.  

"Tony is looking for you." He just nods and walks out of the room with her.

“Rogers, Zemo escaped. I need you to go to the prison and find out how. You have to find  him." It's the first thing he hears when he enters the room. Tony has his back to him, he’s at the computers. Typical of him. Tony turns to wait for a response from him. Steve nods, letting him know that he will.

Ready to leave to get ready, Stark stops him one last time. “Also. He didn't do it alone. Looks like someone helped him. I need you to find out who. Be careful and good luck."

-

“It’s incredible, the cell has sensors everywhere, but they didn't activate, there were no hits, no cuts, nothing. Whoever helped him must have been an expert.” Explains the director of the maximum security prison, in which Zemo was held as a prisoner.

Steve carefully observes any aspect that is altered that could serve as a clue. But it’s impossible to find a mistake.

"What about the cameras?" He asks.

“They didn't detect anything. We don't know how someone got in, or if they got out of here-"

Steve stops at the last bit and cuts him off, “Wait. You said you don't know if they got out of here?

-

The director approaches Steve. After coming to the conclusion that Zemo, and whoever helped him, are still inside the prison, hiding, Steve suggested that they disable the main entrances and exits and turn off the lights.

“All set captain, when you give the ok, we'll execute the plan” Steve nods. "The team is located at the entrances and exits, did they give you a radio?"

“Yes,” He points to his belt, where he has it.

The director nods.

“Let's get started then,” Steve confirms.

“Well, you heard the captain! initiate protocol!”

Three… two… one… Everything goes dark.

Steve, along with other guards accompanying him behind, head towards one of the exit doors of the prison. All with night vision goggles and heat detectors. Like in old school.

They all take their positions, ready to catch them, if they're still here.

One of the guards approaches Steve. "Captain, I detect two figures in sector three."

Steve looks at the small tablet that shows two heat spots. It has to be Zemo.

"Okay, I'll go investigate, stay alert."

The guard nods.

Steve is cautious with every step he takes. Quietly following the screen, he's maybe a couple of meters away. I got you. He thinks referring to Zemo.

He prepares to catch it. Not only Zemo, but also the one who helped him.

He turns off the tablet, so as not to attract attention with the brightness that it emanates. He is about to pick up the radio to tell the rest that he already has it, but he chooses not to do so so as not to generate noise and attract attention.

It was a smart decision since he could hear the footsteps. He was right, they're still here.

Steve braces himself, ready to catch him when…somebody punches him in the leg causing him to fall to the ground.

“I told you they would be here!” says a slightly more feminine voice? Steve thinks. But who is it? Who would help him?

"Zemo, come on!" Zemo and the female voice that he cannot recognize begin to run

Steve gets up quickly. He has to put a little weight on the other leg at first but then he gets into a rhythm, quickly grabs the radio and turns it on and alerts everyone. "They're here! I repeat! Activate the protocol, they're still inside!" Without waiting for a response from the rest, he begins to run to catch up with them.

Steve hears how in the distance the voice seems to rush Zemo. He quickens his pace to at least catch up with him and hold him. Have the guards take care of the assistant.

Through the night vision goggles he can tell that he's close to him.

Three steps were enough to knock Zemo down... well, at least he thought so. If he took down Zemo, just not the Baron.

"Ouch!" That didn't sound like the baron.

The lights suddenly come on. And that's when Steve realizes that the one he caught wasn't the Baron. But a woman.

"Who are you?"

The woman was familiar to him, the features. As if she were the exact copy of someone, only the opposite sex. She tries to wriggle out of his grasp, but Steve is obviously stronger.

"Answer me! Who are you!?"

Obviously the woman seems to be unreceptive, as she ignores him and continues to focus on getting out of his grasp. She manages to tackle Steve and break free. She starts running. Steve chases her, a few meters away. She tries to get to Zemo but he is already surrounded by guards, he looks at her, implying that she doesn't worry about him. She struggles but realizing that Steve is close to catching up with her, she decides to separate, searching for another way.

"You guys take care of Zemo! I'll go get her!" He yells at the  guards before turning the other way.

Y/n runs without looking back. I need to hide, make them think I escaped, and then come back for my brother. But it is impossible, these corridors are pure walls, there are no gaps, doors, no nowhere to hide. she only has to run. But as she runs, her body gets tired. She has accumulated fatigue. Spending months planning the escape, nights hacking the cameras, studying every part of the prison, his body doesn't give any more. I should have thought about this too, damn it.

She's so submissive in her thoughts as she runs, she doesn't realize that Steve, with his shield, stops her, causing her to fall to the ground. The blow was very strong, she couldn't get up. From her pants pocket, she takes out her little knife.

Steve walks over to her, but quickly backs away, reflexively seeing how she points her knife at him.

As she can,  she gets up and gets into a fighting stance.

"I don’t want to fight with you. Put down the knife please."

"What? Are you afraid of hurting me?” she replies sarcastically. "I'm not afraid of you, Captain"

“I just want to know why you helped Zemo”, Steve approaches slowly but with his guard up.

“Why wouldn't I help him? He's my brother ".

Steve doesn't answer, Zemo has a sister?

Y/n is not swayed by the captain's attempted compassion and attacks him, he dodges the attack to the side. They both start a fight. Y/n attacks him with the knife while Steve takes cover with his shield dodging. He pushes her to the ground with his shield and gets on top of her, takes the knife from her and slashes across her chest, ripping open the outfit she's wearing of hers.

The knife falls to the ground. Steve is petrified. Y/n doesn't understand anything.

"It can't...be..." Steve's eyes seem to be fixed on the woman's chest.

She takes her gaze to where he is looking at her tattoo. She sighs as he closes her eyes.

Those five letters have been there, branded on her body for as long as she can remember. But she never managed to find the other person. And she never believes that she will.

The next thing surprises her even more.

Steve takes the knife to make a small slash right in the same area, opening up his suit a bit, showing her his tattoo. Neither he nor she can believe it.

"It's you..." Both say at the same time...

[bellamyblake]

hiii do u have any headcanons of a modern au bellamy getting sick?? and clarke taking care of him??!

Okay, this got a little....long. I hope that’s alright with you but here it is! Thanks for sending this! 

so the thing about Bellamy is that he hates being sick; it all starts from his childhood years when he was never the one to receive or want attention because everything was focused on his sister;

he hates being weak, vulnerable; he's only ever allowed himself to show his true spirit to Clarke and that was the reason why she was his best friend and soulmate but also his partner in life;

it's been just about a year since they finally moved in together; he had just finished his masters and started working as a teacher in the local school, his dream job, while she, after ultimately taking both art and nursery majors, opted to go to the local hospital at first and give art classes to kids with disabilities twice a month in the weekend;

after years of stress and studying, they were finally doing good; octavia had moved away with Lincoln and headed South to find better jobs and to fill the grief and void from missing his sister, Clarke suggested they adopted a little half-blind, half-deaf doggo from the local shelter-a beautiful black lab called Ares which Bellamy just LOVED;

the thing was-he didn't get sick, it's something he prided himself in; the high schoolers he taught would often get the current flu going around but he ate healthy, ran, exercised and under Clarke's very stern supervision took his vitamins (like a little kid);

it was Clarke who got sick more often despite working at the hospital every day-she'd catch a cold and get a runny nose, her head would hurt but even when she did get sick she never let it get serious because she knew what to do; 

still, he had always been the caretaker around here-he knew she loved being wrapped up in blankets when she was feeling bad and get picked up by him while they watched a new show on Netflix; he'd make her tea, kiss her forehead, call at work to tell them she's definitely not going in today, go to the store and buy stuff to make her his famous chicken soup;

it sucked to say it but Clarke kind of liked being sick with Bellamy at home, even if she felt bad she was exploiting him a little;

but this time, things were different;

she noticed he was feeling under the weather on Monday when she came home from work and he was already back but asleep on the couch, something that never happened to him no matter how tired he was;

later on when he cooked dinner she noticed his nose was stuffy and his eyes seemed glassy; "Are you okay?" she said trying to reach out to touch his forehead "You don't look that well."

"'M fine" he pulled away not letting her touch him "Just a cold. Kids wanted the window opened in class today and I had taken off my sweater." she raised an eyebrow at him but he went back to cooking and ignored her;

then later that night she heard him coughing and getting up again only to find that he has moved to the couch and slept there; "You should stay at home, take a sick day." she suggested when she was offering him Tylenol and some tea but he still wouldn't let her touch his forehead or take his temperature;

"I'm not sick." he grunted "It's fine I'm already feeling better." but she had a bad feeling about it and when she sent him off to work, she texted him at least ten times and called on his lunch break to see how he was doing; he sounded worse and he was coughing worse than last night;

"You need to get home. Now."

"I'm fine."

"Did you take your temperature?"

"I didn't."

"Why not?" she asked angrily.

"Because I don't have any." she rolled her eyes and rubbed her forehead tiredly; 

God he could be so stubborn sometimes, just like when he fell from the ladder last Christmas and dislocated his shoulder but wouldn't let her know how bad it hurt even if she could see something was wrong; it was only when she grabbed it and squeezed it hard, forcing him to to ouch loudly that she managed to kick his ass to the hospital and get an x-ray;

he could've done permanent damage because he was an idiot who wasn't used to receiving any sort of help;

"I'm fine, Clarke, really. I'll be good by tonight." he said but she had a sinking feeling in her stomach and hated being away from him;

the problem was she had surgery all afternoon and then had to stay in for the night to keep an eye on her cases; by the time she came home it was Wednesday morning and she could hear him coughing in the bathroom as he was getting ready to go to work AGAIN;

he slipped through before she could catch him and ask him how he was really doing and he had been smart about it-sneaking out while she was changing in their room;

Bellamy was never one to leave without kissing her or saying goodbye, if he was doing that, it meant things were bad and he was trying to really hide it from her;

later that day, she heard the door open at about three in the afternoon, even though he usually wouldn't be back by five;

"Bellamy?" he stumbled in and dropped his messenger back on the floor; he looked horrible-his face was red, his hair messy, his eyes disoriented and he kept coughing and hiding his face in his elbow "What's going on?"

"Kane let me get off early...said I looked....terrible." she rushed to him and picked his face in her hands, gasping when she realized how hot his skin was.

"You have a fever."

"I'm fine."

"If you say that again, I swear to god!" she threatened and snuck tiny body under his arm "Come on, let's get you to bed."

"I don't need help walking-" he grunted even if he swayed a little as he tried to take the next step. How he drove home in this state was a complete mystery to her "Clarke-"

"You'll stop fighting me now!" she said when she helped him sit and started taking off his clothes.

"This is getting sexy."

"It would've been if you weren't that stupid to get yourself in this state. Lay down now." he did and groaned as he felt the softness of their matress. Ares, upon feeling his master back home, jumped up and licked his fingers softly but even his look seemed rather judging.

Clarke brought the small medical bag she kept at home for cases like this  and he groaned upon seeing it, which only sent him into another coughing fit;

"Talk to me, how bad has it been?" she asked when she put her stethoscope and pressed it to his naked chest. He was right-in other circumstances, this would've been sexy but now his skin was clammy and he was burning up.

"It hasn't been that awful."

"I think it's high time you stopped ignoring the problem and let me actually help you out, Bellamy. I'm a trained professional and I know how to deal with the flu."

"I don't have the flu." he argued.

'"Haven't you said half your students have been sick these past two weeks?" she argued and he huffed again "Breathe in." he complied and losed his eyes for a moment while he let her check him out which she honestly considered a victory.

"I...don't get...sick." he finally let out and he sounded so small and broken that it made her soften a little bit as mad as she was at him;

"Well you definitely are now." she said after taking off her stethoscope and cupping his cheek "But that's okay, because you'll be alright." she promised and leaned down to kiss his forehead.

"You shouldn't stay here...you could catch it too. Just give me meds and let me be."

"Yeah, that's not happening." she cut off and picked up the thermometer before pointing it closer to his face. Her heart jumped when his fever came to 102. She could tell he was bad but this was a lot. "Had you taken any medication today?"

"Just Tylenol..." she nodded and picked up his chin again.

"Let me look at your throat."

"Are you going to use one of those ice cream wooden sticks to check it out?"

"Absolutely."

"I hate those."

"If only you had let me take care of you earlier, we wouldn't be here now." she sang song trying to keep her own panic from rising. She could do this. Yes, it was different when it was someone you cared about but she could take care of him.

his throat was red and he coughed a lot; his nose was runny and he was so feverish that at times he closed his eyes and dreamed of his mom, talking to her in his delusional state;

“Hey-” Clarke whispered as she cupped his cheek when she was done checking him out “I’m gonna run to the pharmacy real quick and be back, okay?” he looked at her with half-opened eyes and nodded.

“I’m fine, princess....I’m not even sick.” he whispered and she looked at him fondly and ran her hand through his hair as she watched him curl up on his side and cuddle into himself. Ares licked his fingers and stayed close, making sure he was fine while she went out to grab some of the essentials;

she only realized her hands were shaking with worry when she came back and was trying to open the meds; she found him asleep and snoring in the most adorable of ways but his forehead felt even hotter;

Clarke forced him to take some pills and vitamins, then made him some tea and he drank it still in this half asleep state; then she brought a bowl of cold water and a cloth which she dipped in there and put on his forehead;

she snuggled in bed next to him and picked him up when his coughs got too bad, afraid he wasn’t getting enough air in; his fever got to 103 before it broke at around four in the morning, leaving her worrying and exhausted but him even more so; 

she had never seen him that helpless before but at the same time the things he said in his sleep made her heart jump in her chest; he spoke of how much he loved her, then talked to his mom and apparently tried to explain how great Clarke was, then there was some history lessons mumbling and scolding his pupils one but he fell into somewhat fitful sleep at around six in the morning; 

he kept coughing pretty badly, though and his fever, albeit lower was still there so she didn’t want to risk it and called Nyko, her supervisor and colleague, the person she trusted the most, to come check him out;

Bellamy was awake and trying to slurp on her horrible chicken soup when he made it in;

“You called a doctor?” he said confused “I don’t need a doctor...”

“Yes, you do.” she insisted “I don’t like the sound of your cough.”

“I’m fine.”

“I assume he says that all the time, doesn’t he?” Nyko asked as he came closer and put his medbag by the bed; Bellamy coughed again and shen oticed Nyko furrowed his eyebrows at it “You’re right, doesn’t sound good. Come on, Bellamy, let me check on you.”

“I don’t-”

“Shush!” Clarke scolded as she helped him sit up.

“Are you shushing me, princess?”

“Absolutely.” she cut off and stroked his cheek after helping him settle on the pillows. By the time Nyko was done, Bellamy was exhausted and feverish again and fell asleep with his mouth opened, drooling on his chin.

he looked adorable’

“You were right to call me.” Nyko said and picked out an IV from his bag “He needs antibiotics at least for a few days if not more. It’s close to turning into something really bad, so let’s hope we can avoid it.” 

Clarke’s heart beat nervously in her chest and she wanted to be the one to attach the IV and take care of Bellamy but Nyko saw her trembling hands and shook his head-he could do that for her; “You should bring him to the hospital if it doesn’t get any better, okay?” he advises and squeezes her shoulder “I’ll see you at work.”

once they were alone again, Clarke climbed up in bed again and pulled him to her chest.

“I’m always the one spooning you...” he mumbled tiredly, breathing like a freight train in her arms. 

“Yeah, well now it is my turn.” she said as she ran her fingers through his hair and kissed his cheek “I’m the one taking care of you now, Bellamy Blake-” he gruffed “As much as you don’t like it.” he felt the note of fear in her voice and covered her hand with his, squeezing it gently.

“I’ll be okay, Clarke, don’t worry.” he said kissing her wrist gently “It’s just the flu.”

“Oh, so you’re admitting to it now, huh?”

“Shut up.” she chuckled and wrapped him closer in her arms. 

“It got pretty bad here last night, Bellamy. I don’t want you to do this ever again-you have to promise me that when something’s wrong you’ll let me know and allow me to be there for you, okay?” he furrowed his eyebrows and pursed his lips like a grumpy baby who was hungry or too sleepy “Bellamy?”

He finally sighed “Fine....I’ll let you help.” she kissed his clammy skin again and kept him close to her, covering them in the soft duvet and letting Ares snuggle up on his other side and keep him safe; 

he gets better in the next few days but his cough doesn’t go away for a while and she insists he has a week off, which of course he hates; she has to deal with a very silly, very stubborn baby Bellamy as she called him until he got a little better; 

even after he got back to work she was unhappy, insisting he needed two weeks instead of just one even after she made Nyko check on him again and dragged him to the hospital for an x-ray, just to be sure;

he had to take her hand in his and drag her to the couch one night saying “I’m really fine now. I promise that i am. You can stop worrying about me now, okay, princess?” he said kissing her forehead and letting him be the one to take care of her that night by massaging her feet and fucking her in their kind sized bed, making Ares run to his dog bed in the living room and pretending he couldn’t hear them; 

[matan4il]

Just so you don't think your crazy you did bring up the Jim Abbot story in an ask from like 3 days ago I think. Like the other anon it triggered the memory for me again.

When you brought it up it actually really reminded me how dedicated this show is to creating a time line of emotional beats for Buddie. Because like you said "I read it in the hospital ". So yes we can think he was motivating himself but we can also strongly consider or conclude he was sort of educating himself on disabilities. It's how Buck deals, same thing with the natural disaster Buck.

But the main point being he could have just said hey I read this book. Instead they round about way say I read this book at the end of season 2 with your kid in mind. It's established by S2 episode 4 Buck is already thinking how do I help Chris he just needs a little you know.

And again time wise they have Eddie establish his will change is right after the well incident. If it was something they just came up with, well we just came out of a pandemic. Honestly he could have been like "after this crazy uncertain time, I wanted to know if something happened to me Chris would stay here with you". And that was very relevant at the time. I know alot of parents (especially teachers and first responders) who finally made a will during the pandemic. Yet.... They made a choice here to basically say in the middle of S3 Eddie Diaz knew if anything happened to him Christopher would stay in LA with Buck. Not return to his sisters or other family in TX.

If this isn't a foundation and somewhat slow burn in the making I don't know what else is.

Hi lovely Nonnie!

Thank you so much for letting me know. IDK if you're aware, but due to my vertigo, I have difficulty reading. So, if I happen to remember where I wrote something, I can link back to it. If I don't, well... so if you ever have a link back to share, I will always appreciate it. Thank you again! *hugs*

And yes! The show has def taken the time to establish this is how Buck deals. Just remember, we have Eddie explaining natural disaster!Buck in 309 (same ep as the iconic kitchen scene that concluded their arc post-tsunami), and it leads to Buck bringing up the Jim Abbott story in 312. It's perfect build up.

And yes, I absolutely agree with you. TBH, I think Buck does love kids, just like he told Eddie in 201 (we see that very clearly at the start of 107), but when Buck sees Eddie hugging Chris at the end of 203? When he can tell how much these two love each other and are beaming at being reunited? I think that's the moment when Buck falls in love with them as a family unit, and just like I think in a sense he was ready to be Eddie's husband before 201 was over, when Buddie exchanged that "have my back" vow, I think he was ready to be Christopher's dad before the end of 203. So it's not even a little bit surprising that by 204, he's actively being Eddie's partner and worrying about providing everything Chris needs, and it's also so natural for him to be reading a book for himself, but also for Christopher, when he's in the hospital in 218.

And Eddie on his part? He knows by the end of 303 and even vocalizes (because his best friend needed it) that there is no one in the world he trusts with his son more than Buck. He has his grandma and aunt in L.A too, he loves and trusts them, and yet it's Buck he trusts the most in the world with Chris. Buck's love and devotion to this little family is reciprocated. So in a way, 414 is a natural continuation of 303, which is why it works that Eddie made the will change in 315 already. For so many other friendships, it could be weird, too intense, just too much, to have one friend make the other the legal guardian of his son less than 2 years after they met, but everything about Buddie has been both intense and meant-to-be from the get go. So for a lot of other friendships, they would need the pandemic to explain such a will change, but not for Buddie. For them, it works that in 315 already, Eddie looked at Buck, after Buck featured so heavily in his flashbacks to the family he'll fight to come home to, and Eddie said with his whole chest, "It's you" by changing the will. And then he verbally said it to Buck's face, despite not usually being a man of words, simply because, once again, Buck needed to hear it. It IS a love story, whether it goes canon or not.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts over this, Nonnie! I loved this! xoxox

How is your Trevelyan inquisitor in Trespasser? Is he still with Dorian?

Oof, I have so much self-indulgent angst lined up between the end of the main game and the start of Trespasser… Also, THANK YOU for asking about him! Haha. You made a rather miserable evening 100% brighter.

Breif mention of unhealthy alcohol habits, painful breakup (temporary), mental struggles, and physical pain & acquired disability.

Adam is… not doing so well, physically or mentally at the very start of Trespasser. He supported Dorian’s choice to return to Tevinter, but they broke up before he went back, and it left Adam absolutely devastated.

He masked it by throwing himself into sealing leftover rifts and spending as much time out in the field as possible. He was very reckless with his life, but no one except Sara and Bull seemed to notice or really care.

His hand/the anchor is slowly killing him, and he’s in private agony with it. He’s isolated, frightened, and has no idea what to do about it. He wants to disband the Inquisition as soon as possible, and after speaking to Varric at the start of the council, is planning to retreat to his new estate in Kirkwall (he’d been vaguely thinking of buying somewhere in the Free Marches before that to do the same) where he plans to drink (healthy), tinker with his traps and explosives, and retire from private life until the anchor kills him. He knows it’s going to kill him, but he doesn’t like Vivienne much, and he can’t contact Dorian (doesn’t want to bother him) and Solas is nowhere to be found. (His twin sister is a mage, but he doesn’t want to worry her).

The events of Trespasser see his plans change and his life turned upside down again, but he was especially hurt that Dorian didn’t tell him he was going to be at the talks as the ambassador from Tevinter, and seeing him again stirred it all up again. After it’s all over, he and Dorian talk. Tears are shed, and the two vow never to make decisions thinking they know what’s best for the other or their relationship (that was fundamentally why they broke up - Dorian couldn’t allow himself to believe that Adam truly was devoted to him, and Adam thought Dorian was too good for him. Ugh).

After Trespasser, Adam spends a lot of time recovering from his injuries in Kirkwall before acquiring a funky prosthetic from Dagna and joining the Red Jennies, but inevitably heading to Tevinter to help Dorian (while still with the Red Jennies). There’s a lot he can’t do in Tevinter because he’s still relatively well known, but he knows he’s helping Dorian even if it’s just being a welcoming partner at the end of the day… He also might or might not be involved with smuggling slaves out of Tevinter to freedom…

In Tevinter, becomes besties with Maevaris, and the two of them lovingly gang up on Dorian whenever they can.

He almost never goes back to his family in the Free Marches, but he does visit his twin sister when he can, who is now teaching at one of the new colleges of enchanters, and his older sister, who has an estate outside of Val Royeaux.

Thanks for asking! I’ve thought about Adam a lot lately, and you made my evening.
