he needs his floor time

[verecunda]

If Sauron was hanging about Eregion for about four hundred years, then I'm assuming he didn't spend the whole time cooped up in the smithies, but also had to maintain his Friendly Neighbourhood Emissary of the Valar persona by mingling with the populace, taking part in their social calendar, attending their festivals, feasts, hunts, etc.

As one of the great tales, the Lay of Leithian must be a particularly popular subject for Elvish art, whether in song, poetry, maybe even in theatrical performance, and I find it impossible to believe that Sauron could have avoided hearing or seeing some rendition of it during his time among the Elves. And sure, maybe the bits with Finrod and Gorlim would occasion him a private chuckle, but the rest of it... well, he really doesn't appear to advantage!

Let's just say, if you were in the audience at such a performance - say, oh, the bit where Lúthien and Huan rescue Beren from the Isle of Werewolves - just say you were able to tear your attention from the drama on stage for just a second and happened to look around, you might be somewhat surprised to catch a glimpse of Lord Annatar sitting bolt upright in his seat, wearing a decidedly fixed smile, one hand rubbing unconsciously at his throat...

~What If They Actually Communicated~

(after the kiss)

-I lo…I love you.

-Then don't leave.

-I don't want to leave you.

-Then don't!

-I don’t have a choice.

-Why?!

-Because I'll never forgive myself if I don't!

-Sure you will. I do it all the time. Just takes practice.

-No, you don't. You never forgive yourself.

-That why you keep doing it for me?

-Yes. You deserve peace and forgiveness.

-I don't want peace and forgiveness. That sounds boring. What I want is…You.

-Aren't…aren't you going to say it back?

-It bacK.

-Crowley!

-If I say it, will you stay?

-Crowley…

(pause)

-If you don't want to be an angel then…I don't have a choice but to go back. To protect you. To protect us.

-I don't need protection, Angel! I've been taking care of myself for years, in case you haven't noticed.

-Of course I noticed. I also noticed when you needed holy water to protect yourself. And I noticed when we had to switch bodies to protect ourselves. I noticed that the only reason you didn't receive extreme sanctions was that Beelzebub went rogue. They're never going to stop trying to destroy you, you know.  Your very existence is a threat to them.

-So what! I'll take my chances! 

-I can't take chances with your life.

-Ngk.... So you're going to abandon me here, and its "FoR mY oWn GoOd" ?

-Not…abandon. Just a temporary leave of absence. And it's for our own good. I'm doing this for me too, because I need you to be safe. And I'm doing this for the world because…it's our home. 

-(sigh) You'll never stop trying to do good, are you Angel?

-No, I suppose not. But isn't that why you love me?

-Hmm. And what makes you think I love you?

-Crowley! Don't be cruel.

-Like I told you before…I love you because you're just enough of a bastard to be worth loving. 

-That's not exactly what you said back then.

-It was what I thought.

I really like the idea of Kylo coping with his daddy issues through unconsciously acting out as more paternal towards you

He's laughing because he just shaved half his sleeping sibling.

Five-year old Nathaniel, looking out the window of his attic — standing on a stool, because otherwise he is too small to reach the view — marvelling at the distant silhouette of the Crystal Palace.

Cruel and Deon’s relationship in two pictures and a few words:

Deon:

...

Cruel one moment later, after getting strangled by his lovely little brother, about an assassin:

’how dare this random guy attack my baby brother who just almost murdered me?’

I made my post about Dean Highbottom and then as I was writing my tags realised that his Hunger Games counterpart is Haymitch. and now my head is in my hands and I don’t think I’ll ever recover

OC Tag Game (part two)

I was tagged thrice, so maybe there will be three parts? lol nobody can't stop me from oversharing about my children

As for tagging: @melisusthewee @sparatus and @arcandoria 💛

Name: Ellero Cloris Ingellvar

Alias: Rook, Ellie, "Oh, no"

Gender: Cis male

Age: Mid twenties during Veilguard

Place of Birth: Unknown, but he will say he's risen from the grave if you ask - which technically is true

Spoken Languages: Other than Nevarran (mother tongue), he's fluent in Trade and he can read Orlesian and Tevene decently. Besides, he can recognize terms involving magic in other languages due to his studies. I imagine that the Mourn Watch has an extensive library with tomes written in different languages so there could be tools available, like vademecums on basic grammar. ALSO! I wouldn't call the MW cypher you can find in the Necropolis a proper language, with a grammar foundation and such, but it is a way to communicate among watchers so I guess that should be considered a language as well?

Sexual Orientation: He doesn't like labels and I don't even know what shape I'd give to his umbrella or what I'd put below. He just isn't straight, that's for sure :'D

Occupation: Mourn Watcher, and even if he can't watch over the Necropolis full time, he runs back home swiftly when summoned. I'd say "former" but a Mourn Watch never really leaves <3 Former Veilguard, when the Gods are defeated he helps rebuilding what's to be rebuilded by offering to escort people and move materials swiftly through the Crossroads. He would lend his expertise but he's not that much of an expert on anything except necromancy :'

FAVORITE:

Color: Sage green, royal purple, but also anything phthalo or metallic

Entertainment: Back at the Necropolis he would help fetch bones and "dress them up" with paint and jewels according to some wisps preferences. It wouldn't be really allowed by his superiors due to the fact that it could be considered disrespectful for the dead, but according to him, wisps like compliments and he's a great fashion designer

Food: He has extreme tastes, like cavity inducing sweet or extra sour aliments for example. He's partial to spices as well

Drink: Mint tea, sweet berry juices (like elderberry), mulled wine, and as of late: steamy hot chocolate with whipped cream and hazelnut syrup as a topping. He turns into a pumpkin spice latte girlie in Umbralis

Books: Anything the book club suggests him for the month, but he usually picks up manuals and essays for himself, along with newspapers. Not really a fan of fiction. Don't tell Varric, but he finds his books very long and very dispersive with a scandalous lack of pictures

HAVE THEY:

Passed University: Since the MW are an elite, I'd say the minimum requirement for having access to them is a solid academic preparation. So yeah, 110 cum laude and a pat on his back - with thesis discussion on degenerative stages of haunting and the sociologic correlation with the environment the spirit operates in. No phantoms were harmed in the process, but someone in the audience has fainted

Had Sex: Yes

Had Public Sex: Yes, and he says that sex inside caskets is not as cool as it sounds especially if you're bottoming

Gotten Tattoos: So many! He acquired the one on his back when he got his first salary

Gotten Piercings: Lobes only, but I would love to give him more :'

Had a Broken Heart: Romantically, just once in his teenage years, but the person he was with didn't have their priorities straight and hurt everyone in the process. Platonically, many times, because he tends to trust people on the get go

Been in Love: Yes, he's been in love multiple times, with Harding being the perfect match for him because love is not alone, there is more to their relationship

ARE THEY:

A Cuddler: Yes, he loves to just lay on people like an oversize cat until they give up whatever they're doing and pay attention to him <3

Scared Easily: No, but he pretends to be with spirits, so they can have fun at his expenses and be playful around him

Jealous Easily: Romantically, not really, but he can get real pissed when someones he's with doesn't respect his romantic boundaries. But! He gets comically jealous when his pets prefer other prople, there is that

Trustworthy: He tries his best, and please do trust him! He's just clumsy and sometimes lacks the spoons to act like a person but his heart is in the right place

FAMILY:

Siblings / Parents: The Watchers, basically. They gave him an education, food, and shelter. It's more than enough to call them family

Children: One, Hrildan "Hilda" Davrin. She's shaped like a Star Trek villain and has the energy of a cat when the 3am zoomies hit

Pets: Many cats and many chicken stolen from the Cullavellans but the main threat is what Cullen calls "EEEK" and it's just an undead skeletal cat with a cute lil bell on its neck - and an appetite for souls
