happy thedasweekend! may i prompt: senna/davrin with "one had a hard day so the other decides to give them a massage to relax them and they just can’t help but fall asleep" from the pillow thoughts list?

Happy Thedas Weekend! I went with Modern AU Senna and Davrin because they fit this prompt. Poor Senna. For @thedasweekend!

Content Warning: wholesome but maybe second hand embarrassment warning Length: ~1k

“I don’t care how much you moan and groan about your neck,” Senna told Davrin as she finished the sandwich she’d made for herself.  They were at his apartment after finishing a brutal shift.  Assan was currently curled up in her lap hoping for crumbs.  Davrin was rolling his shoulder and grumbling about clumsy partners.

“I strained it catching you,” Davrin said but she merely huffed.  Senna adjusted Assan to lay across her shoulders as she went to stand in front of Davrin with her arms crossed.

“I told you to just let me fall.  I’ve taken worse hits before.”  Assan gave a tired meow before resting his head against Senna’s shoulder again.  She couldn’t stand seeing him in pain and it technically was her fault…  “Just this once I’ll help you out.  But no more catching me if I’m about to fall okay?” Senna pointed at his chest.

“Help me out?” Davrin asked as a million possibilities ran through his head.

“You got checked out by the doctor and it isn’t even that bad of a strain.  Just a sore muscle right?” He grimaced and turned his head away from her.  “Hah, I’m right.  So shut up and let me help.”

“Wonderful bedside manner there Thorn.”  Senna snorted at him before skirting around the sofa until she was standing at his back.  “Somehow a massage from you seems threatening.”

“If I wanted to off you there’s better ways to do it.  Snapping your neck seems stupid since you’re stronger than me.”  Senna grinned as Assan hopped off her shoulder to curl up on the back of the couch next to Davrin.  “Now, let me help you out at least.”

“Fine.  But don’t get handsy.”  Senna scoffed at him.  She knew he wouldn’t want her to “get handsy” with him.  After that disastrous fishing excursion he’d become distant.  He’d also been requesting different shifts from her which hurt if she was honest with herself.  Though, she didn’t like seeing him hurt either.  Perhaps working different shifts would be better since he always seemed to get hurt when they worked together.  Am I bad luck?

“In your dreams,” Senna said with just a hint of sarcasm.  She placed her hands on his shoulders before gently kneading into the muscle there.  Senna had learned how to give massages after taking a certification course in massage therapy.  She even had her license but she did it on a dare from Jacek.  Though, it certainly came in handy here.  Her eyes narrowed at how tense he was.  “Sheesh Davrin, you ever think of relaxing once in a while?  Your neck muscles are like rocks.”

Davrin was afraid to breathe let alone move.  Her fingers dug in at just the right spots and heat clenched in his belly.  He reminded himself to keep it professional.  He bit down on the groan rising on his tongue, and instead he closed his eyes to focus on how her hands felt on his shoulders.  Even through his clothes it felt amazing.  Where was Thorn hiding this?  If anyone else figured it out he’d have serious competition.  The thought of that annoyed him.  He let his head drop forward and the exhaustion from the day slowly caught up to him, weighing his eyelids down with each pass of her fingers over his shoulders.

“Davrin?” Senna leaned around and saw his eyes closed.  She narrowed her eyes but his breathing was too even and deep to be fake.  Her eyes rolled skyward and she eased him onto his side on the couch.  “Your back won’t thank you tomorrow.”  She grabbed a blanket and pillow for him.  She grinned at him before leaning down and kissing his temple.  “I like you, you giant jerk.”

She straightened and headed to the kitchen to clean up from dinner and then headed out.  What she said didn’t hit her until she sat in her car and then she covered her face with her hands.  The muffled scream alarmed the couple walking their dog but Senna didn’t care.  She couldn’t believe she’d said the words out loud.  “Thank fuck Davrin was asleep.  I think I’d leave the city if he heard me!”  She wanted to melt into the ground from mortification.

It was too bad though, he was awake the entire time and heard her words.

a pean in defense

of scourging demeter

-- by brother jacek

i am looking at demeter's poison

i am drinking demeter's poison

i say to demeter

'demeter, you bring forth

only poison.'

demeter says to me,

'of this,

you are wholly

certain'

i say to demeter

'i am drinking your poison'

demeter says to me,

'you are drinking my poison'

i say to demeter,

'i know you poison,

and still i drink.'

demeter says to me,

'you drink,

indeed

you do'

i say to demeter,

'i must truly

love you.'

demeter says to me,

'you, dear boy,

are truly blue'

i say to demeter,

'in my loins

and in my heart,

i burn with a fire

which eclipses my gut

beckoning me burst red

of nova crimson vermillion

which'd make of you

the purple'

demeter says to me,

'i will fight you

tooth and nail

i shall burn you

hook and switch'

kissing her on the cheek,

my lips so shapely and sweet

ripe as dates,

spring palms by day,

become nights

i say to her,

my demeter,

'suffer, bitch.'

my, oh mine,

my demeter

says to me,

'for you

and you alone

i take the black'

[flowerandblood]

For now, due to the break that @black-dread took, I also decided not to publish new chapters for now, but I have something different and quite interesting for you, because it actually sounds like a story taken from a fanfic from the 19th century and this is about my great-great-grandmother, Rozalia.

I devoted my master's thesis to her (I illustrated a book about her life story) and I have been dealing with her story for many years because… I still have no idea who the father of her children, and at the same time, my great-great-grandfather, was.

Rozalia was born in 1876 in Masovia, at that time under the Russian partition, into a family of agricultural workers (people hired by farmers or heirs to work in their fields).

In 1886, her father died, and in 1894 her mother married Jakub, who was 40 years her senior, probably to provide any living conditions for her children (Rozalia had two other siblings).

In 1896, Rozalia gave birth to her first child - daughter Stanisława. She is unmarried, in the documents there is no information about the child's father.

Usually, in such a situation, such a girl was immediately married off, but not Rozalia.

Rozalia gives birth to six more children: 1899 (Jacek), 1901 (Walenty), 1904 (Katarzyna), 1908 (Józef), 1913-1916 (Wacław), 1918 (Bolesław - my great-grandfather).

Rozalia dies in 1944 as an unmarried woman.

None of them had a father listed in the documents.

There were various rumors about who the father of her children was. My grandmother claimed that she overheard the adults talking about how this man was some kind of aristocrat.

But who?

For years I read parish and archive books, I found documents regarding the owners of the estate where Rozalia was born and the one where she later worked.

And nothing.

Everyone knew that Rozalia traveled to Prussia for work and that my great-grandfather was born in Bellshwitz.

However, no one from there matched the dates either, there were too many unknowns in the places where she was.

Me and my cousin took DNA tests and it turned out that we had a huge section of DNA in common with a German with whom I tried to link all of this with Bellshwitz, without success.

On Christmas, my grandmother and I called her cousin, Ignacy, son of Katarzyna, daughter of Rozalia, to wish him well. Even though I asked him many times to tell me about Rozalia, he maintained that he didn't remember anything.

During this conversation, when I spoke about her and this man again, and the fact that he was probably German, Ignacy said:

Yes, yes. We knew he had left and disappeared suddenly, but we didn't know where. When I joined the army, communist officers asked me: Why didn't you tell us that your grandfather emigrated to America? I replied: I had no idea about it myself.

I remember once, when I was still a little child, a handsome, elegantly dressed man came to our house, he didn't go inside, he noticed me playing with other children. He came up to us and asked which of us was named exactly like me. I told him it was me, and he held out his hand to me and said, "Greet your grandfather."

When I wanted to shake his hand, he put his hand under my mouth so that I could kiss it. I didn't want to do it and ran away. I never saw him again after that.

The situation he was talking about took place around 1936, probably whoever this man was, he left for America after the outbreak of World War II - the German aristocracy in these areas did not love Hitler.

I still don't know who this man is, but I hope that one day I will find out.

There are no photos of Rozalia, but there are photos of her daughter, Katarzyna, whom my grandmother said looked very much like her mother. Based on her descriptions, I took photos of myself as my great-great-grandmother, which I later used in the book as her portraits, which you can see at the top of this post.

Reflection

Weaving his production magic from his home in the vast oil-rich Tyumen Oblast, Mobilize has crafted a significant reputation for himself since his first production work in late 2009, showcased now with the "Reflection" EP for Apollo. Founder of the Mobilisiemusik label and Proton Radio show, he has attracted such leading lights as Gai Barone, Exoplanet and Abdomen Burst to his imprint while contributing over 75 Beatport production credits himself.

A relationship with the trio of Proton labels has also developed during this period and a 2010 contribution to the "Winter Particles" compilation marked a relationship that has reached almost a combined half-century of credits for the Particles and Apollo labels. Indeed, the conceptual 2012 "Evening Kisses" EP brought about a series of Particles radio show guest mixes as an adjunct to the production work split between the twin concepts of "Summer Days" and "Summer Nights". A subsequent remix EP illustrated the success of the concept while 2012's "Children of Babylon" EP for Apollo showcased a set of skills within the minimal and techno arena. 2013's remix of Dapple Apple shone another light on Mobilize's multi-faceted production personality as he now returns to Apollo with a brand new twin-track solo EP, enhanced further by a remix from Monojoke alter-ego, Telekollektiv.

Title track "Reflection" hits the techno high notes that Mobilize has perfected. A hypnotic straight beat and simple percussive accompaniment provide the rhythmic bed for an ominous and edgy chord phrase to play repetitively, creating a dramatic tension as a generous coating of reverb is added, before dropping once more back into hypnotic rhythm. Partner track, "Absorption" continues the techno theme as a frenetic sub-bass pattern partners reverb-soaked percussion to provide a playful ticking groove. Before long a stepped motif plays its part, lifting the mood in repetitive fashion before evolving effortlessly into fuller melodic glory.

Under his Monojoke pseudonym, Polish artisit, Jacek Gumbisz, needs little introduction. A veteran of the progressive breaks scene, work for Silk Digital and Carica Deep highlighted his talent as a multitude of releases for Spring Tube, Nueva and Electronic Tree further confirmed his production credentials. A regular contributor to Particles, a quarter-of-a-century of credits can be seen against his name, including 2009's "Five" EP and 2012's remix of Jorg Murcus' "The Taint of a Mirror".

Under his Telekollektiv pseudonym, Jacek has found a home on the ever-popular, Spring Tube imprint with 2013 EP "Double Ouzo" providing a notable highlight. Similarly, Nueva Deep's "Daydreamer" EP has further elevated the Telekollektiv name. Turning his attentions towards Mobilize, the Telekollektiv remix of the title track, takes the central chord phrase of "Reflection" and uses it as core theme from which to extend outwards into a glorious bass groove, developing a set of musical themes and vocal cuts hitherto unexplored in Mobilize's original work.

Two new works from Mobilize allow pause for "Reflection" as we absorb a tantalising new remix from Telekollektiv. Directed by Jay Epoch AandR by Marina Gerardi Mastered by Mobilize, Telekollektiv Design by Ben Mautner Text by James Warren

John Grisham - Ominąć święta

Szaleństwo w sklepach. Korki na ulicach. Bezsensowne prezenty. Kłopotliwi goście. To po prostu Boże Narodzenie. A może by tak w tym roku nie kupować choinki? Niczego nie szykować? Nikogo nie zapraszać? Luter wpada na genialny pomysł. Nie potrafi sobie jednak nawet wyobrazić sobie, co czeka tego, kto ośmieli się marzyć, by ominąć święta... Przewrotna, prześmieszna, ciepła i mądra opowieść, to jakby Opowieść wigilijna na miarę naszych czasów. Jest w niej błyskotliwy humor oraz znakomicie uchwycona atmosfera przedświątecznej gorączki i wahania ludzkich nastrojów. audiobooka czyta Jacek Kiss KLIKNIJ ABY POBRAĆ

[keyrousse]

For a person who hates watching intelligent people being forced to act like idiots (which is why I avoid a certain type of comedy), “Dead man’s party” quest in “The Witcher 3: Hearts of stone” is probably the most painful to get through.

I still wonder how the voice recording went, as Jacek Rozenek used a slightly different voice for Geralt and Witold/Vlodimir. I know the quest was meant to be funny. I know it shows every possible entertainment of a traditional Polish wedding (including the fight with planks or whatever word they used in English). But I still feel sorry for Shani and Geralt.

happy dadwc! sending you "Sneaking away to a hidden corner to share a secretive kiss." for senna/davrin :)

Happy DADWC! Senna and Davrin are my comfort ship. I never expected it would be Davrin that had me in a chokehold but here we are. My chaotic gremlin of a Rook.

Content Warning: wholesome, kisses

Senna was going to crack if she had to stand there and listen to another lecture about the Fade from Jacek and Emmrich.  With Bellara chiming in as well.  She loved them all, but scholarly she was not.  She stretched as they walked down the Minrathous streets.  Her mind began to wander to other topics.  “This is important Senna!”  Her eyes wanted to roll out of her head at Jacek’s reprimanding tone.  It wasn’t as if she could actually understand what they were talking about, and she had tried.  Numerous times but her mind just couldn’t grasp the intricacies of what they were talking about.

“I’m still here, but it’s not like I understand a word of what you’re saying.”  Jacek sent her a nasty glare but she merely stuck out her tongue at him.  She grinned as they passed by an alleyway, Jacek was oblivious to what she sensed.  Her hand reached out and she muffled her laugh as Davrin’s hand grabbed hers, tugging her into the side street and away from the mages.

“Ssh, you need to quit giggling or they’ll hear you,” Davrin whispered as she wrapped her arms around his waist.  She was just so thankful to be rescued from the lecture that the giggles couldn’t stop.  He gave her an exasperated look that only set her off more.  She reached up and pulled him down for a kiss, smiling against his lips as she heard him grumbling about getting caught.

“If I suffer then so do you,” Senna said right before his lips covered hers.  Her arms slid around his neck, wanting more, but knowing she couldn’t have more.  Senna poured her feelings for Davrin into the kiss, smiling when his fingers curled in the back of her shirt.  Her mind was hazy from the drugging kisses he laid on her lips.

“There you are!” Jacek’s voice broke through the heated haze in her mind and she wanted to strangle her brother.  “There’s no getting out of this one Senna.”

“Please save me,” Senna begged Davrin quietly.  He grinned, placed a kiss on the tip of her nose, but released her when Jacek grabbed the back of her armor.  “Traitor.”

[notmuchtoconceal]

From the banks of the river marched the steps. From the muck, scumflows poured down craterprints of his boots into steppes.

Seated on a stone, wide so the cleave nestled his cheeks, Brother Jacek sat soaked in the depths to which he had plunged, his men bravely walking off sepsis as they clenched their stabwounds behind him.

"I like Brux when he's manly," he said aloud to himself.

Staring at his own shadow. Starring at the dancing grasses. The dancing grasses he longed to smoke, to feel himself lie back well-reclined within himself, knowing only good food and good music at tangerine sunsets of a perpetual dawning, well-alive and well-aware of the multitude within and without, wanting only needlessly, needing only to want.

"Sometimes he's so beefy and broad. He's uncouth with a violent strangeness which is dazzling as it is coarse. Like a horsehair tail sprouting flytraps or any manner of strange things which blur the vegetable from the insect, with a fuzziness at most arachnid."

These words. There must have been truth. Some were certainly his.

"Why does he insist on being written as this absurd and outrageous sissy? Is it all Joey's lies? Some of it has to be Joey's lies. What percentage of the things that Joey says are totally lies? (I feel anyone who believes in proper syntax is a liar who wishes to modulate my biorhythms along some arbitrary pole. Drunk you is real you. Sobriety is the Lie that Hey Zeus the Wino sold to his habituates.) Brux can't possibly be a bigger liar than Joey and Laika. In some regards, Brux simply has to be the lesser of two evils. Brux is so much better of a team bitch than Laika. Laika fucking sucks at being team bitch. Holy fuck. He either lies there and takes it or lies there and enjoys it lewdly and disgustingly or lies there and hates it and it's literally rape but he won't fuckin say anything. He won't even be like .... 'hey bro, stop fuckin rapin me!' or 'bro i'm real fuckin pissed bout all those times you raped me.' Naw, man. He's just like ... gonna sit there and hate you and not mention those times you raped him. Fuckin coward. Every time you rape Brux he won't shut the fuck up about it. He goes over the PA and lies about how many times you raped him so now you don't even know if it was an implanted memory or if you really did rape him. Why would anybody rape Brux? Does he get hotter when you're drunk? Do you think he would look extra rapeable if he was sober and you were drunk? I think you should get real drunk at a time when you know Brux has to be sober and see if you rape him. Why would you do this as a thought experiment, just make it happen, bro. Big bro rapes Brux all the time anyway. Maybe Brux is insane because big bro rapes him too many times. Maybe Brux is insane because big bro won't rape him. Brux is always tryin to get big bro drunk and big bro still won't rape him. I think he definitely did fuck with your memory, either surgically or through hypnotic suggestion."

The fifth of the Jacekobean men, falling to his knees.

Howling. Howling as he clenches the holes in his gut.

The first, moving forward.

Eclipsing him by the mountainpeak of his silhouette, grabs him. Grabs him by the throat and hammers him, hammers him in his perforated guts. Squirting out tarblack jets of bile to free the warm red blood.

Howling.

"THANK YOU, SIR BIG BRO, SIR!"

The second Jacekobean man screeches and waggles his tongue in the air. He encoils with the third, as the sixth encoils with the seventh. In rhythm, arms around shoulders and head locked against head, fisting each other in the open guts, aiming to raise intestines as worms after fresh rain to greet the sun at a daybreak of perpetual gunmetal red.

Brother Jacek leapt up.

"GOOD SHIT // FUCKIN SHIT TEAM, THAT'S WHAT I WANNA SEE."

They throw themselves to the muddy banks at his boots, each barebacked, barechested, scalp shorn by the flint.

"You have not earned the right to kiss my steeltoes. Polish them to a mirror shine with your lips though you will. What I decree to the wood will be heard by all, carried far by the birds which sit on these branches, flow far with the waters which lap at these roots. Slithering through the mud all seven of you will give me your skins. In a spectacular coat the color or every white man, a rainbow of snow shall I be in albino gator, rolling hills of elephant and peacock. I am the train always coming, though in the dead of night I am heard by all, none dare meet me at the station."

Licking the rocks. Bloodying their tongues.

Licking the lichen. With bloodied tongues.

Eyeing the mirrors of his toecaps where their faces compress as a diamond back to coal in a hydra of blistering faces, they press out their tongues, looking up piteously, never daring to defy fully and let the tips touch the edge where some glimmer of his greatness they would taste unduly, well-trained were they in the etiquette of proper brutality.

"Homeward, we are bound. My will I will make known."

"SIR YES SIR."

Leading him far, his stray heart knew every wind. So far off-trail, he knew the hardships of forging shortcuts. Positioning sight, he saw always through the thickets to the trails he would blaze, content that few would knock down walls to make doors, dice metaphors to make word salad, hearty ruffage though it was, for rabbits unfit to sear their stakes.

[inkyquince]

... Can I ask if they're all single?

And interested in poly?

DSIAOJIJOSADIJOSA WELL, OKAY

Umh, Priest?

So, maybe. Is down to have a lil harem of cuties, but knows realistically he can't have them all out. So just pretends they're his book club and has his favourite as his lil housewife/boytoy. That or pretending one or two are his kids or siblings, depending on how much of a baby face they got. Will have that thrill of sweetly calling his partner his son/daughter/child while gropping their ass

Quill?

Uh.. He does save his sex drive for when he works, which means his dates with Avery. He is a whore, but a sleepy one with a low sex drive. So, would be into poly if it means that he gets the adoration and kisses and if the other people fucked and let him nap

Rosa?

ya! depends on who though. like, her first love is syd, but if not with syd, she would need to be with kind people OR kind towards her. there's a difference

loralei?

no. fuck off. don't look at her. she'll spit on you

jacek?

Y E S. THIS BITCH A WOLFBOY, HE LIKES THE PACK, HE BECAME THE ALPHA. Just wants a big house of people down to fuck and kiss and cuddle and rut and nuzzle in a pile. he's soft with his people and will fight for em
