Yandere Masseur - Micolai Introduction

Yandere Masseur x You (gender neutral)

Summary: A masseur you visit often is enthralled with you, planning to take every session one step further.

WARNINGS: 18+, no minors interact!, dubcon, explicit language, explicit sexual thoughts, touching, obsessive, toxic behavior

I chose the name Micolai, sorry lol Laoire is hard for me pronounce

-----

You were a regular. And you were his favorite.

Whenever he saw your name on his list of clients, he couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear. It had to mean something, that you came back so frequently.  

You told him it was due to your stressful day to day life. But he knew it wasn’t just that. You must yearn for his touch. The second his skilled fingers met your skin; he felt you shake slightly at the soft impact.

Micolai had many returning customers. He was the best in the parlor. It helped that he was good-looking, too. But it wasn’t just that, his hands were strong and well-trained.

Older customers complimented his complexion, a light tawny tone he didn’t need to try hard to get. A split second in the sun and his skin absorbed it instantly, drinking in every ray. His black hair curled at their tips, the wavy bangs reaching his strong brows and enveloping his dark chocolate eyes. An, older female customer he didn’t care for continuously complimented his steely eyes. They only softened for you.

Micolai had a way of smiling without his eyes. Most customers didn’t notice. They sparkled for the first time when he met you. It started when he answered the phone and heard your sweet voice for the first time. You had asked for a 60-minute session. Micolai immediately put you into his own time table, curious to meet the siren.  When your eyes met in the waiting room, he had trouble speaking. You literally took his breath away. He left the door open a crack while you undressed, peaking in, excited that you would let him touch you. The first time he felt your skin, he noticed a tremble in his own muscles, an extremely unusual occurrence. No one ever managed to unnerve him like that before.

The madam had given him the biggest room in the massage parlor, since he earned her the most profit. He decorated it to his (and your) liking, adorning the wooden shelves with many candles, dim fairy lights and fake plants. He carried his trusty speaker to his new room and set it up near the table, so he could adjust the volume when he saw fit. You loved the sound of the ocean; you were less tense when you heard waves between calming piano notes in the background. He had a beautiful vase that he used for tips, which was always full to the brim. One day he followed you home and noticed you looking at this particular one in a shop mirror. You hadn’t recognized it, yet. Maybe it hadn’t been what you were looking at in the store.

He didn’t accept tips from you, much to your chagrin. You tried every time. He couldn’t muster up the courage to ask for something else as a tip. One day, he would.

He learned that you loved orchids. Every time you visited him, a new bloom appeared in his room, which you complimented furiously. He wanted you to feel comfortable here. An entire relaxation area – just with you in mind.

Micolai crafted his own massage oil, mostly out of necessity due to the parlor’s cheap oil giving him itchy rashes. It had too many harsh ingredients that clashed with his soft skin. He couldn’t risk losing the smoothness that you loved. He had been experimenting with scents for you. He settled on lavender and lemon, two fragrances that made you moan when the scent reached your nostrils. A sound that drove him wild.

While he prepared the room for the next unimportant client, he wrapped his bathrobe tight around his waist. He only left it loose for you, in case you wanted to see more. You never did, but he was hopeful. When he worked on others, he thought of you. Every second of his day revolved around you, when would you come again? How could he take this further?

Seeing your divine naked form before him… it was like God was tempting him every time. He resisted the violent urge to pull the towel away from you, to see you in all your glory before him. To touch you in your intimate space and swirl out all the stress you say befalls you. He could make it all melt away, with two fingers. With one hand.

He already touched you where he shouldn’t, massaging your glutes and taking it in. The first time he dared this move, you jolted up a bit, but his slick voice soothed you quickly: “Shh, it’s alright. You carry a lot of tightness here. I know what I’m doing.”

This time, he would try to brush his lips against your skin while massaging your legs. For a brief taste. If you reacted negatively, he would claim he slipped in the oil. It was all part of the plan.

Each and every time, Micolai became more daring and more pent up. When you left his room, he had to relieve himself. He did it all over the towels you were wrapped in. Smelling your scent that lingered on the ones you laid on; he busted onto the one wrapped around your waist. His room was far in the back, so no one heard his cries of relief.

It was the perfect area to please you. You could be as loud as you want.

Eventually, he will get to experience every part of your form.

And feel all of you.

[series] let me see how wild it get (17K) by alwaysxlarrie | @alwaysxlarrie

Harry's success rate with being able to orgasm from masturbation was abysmally low, but she was determined to get there. She tried to actively avoid thinking about the fact that her best friend, Louis, had offered to help her if need be. Key words: tried to.

[series] Lovers in the Night (46K) by Kiwiwatermelongrapejuice | @kiwiwatermelongrapejuice

Louis mates take him to a strip club and pay for a private lap dance for him as a bit of a laugh between all the lads. What no one anticipated was the fact that Baby was going to be exactly Louis' type. Even more coincidental is that it seems the feeling is mutual.

I'll be ready - never you fear (112K) by 2Bsodefenceless, scribbleink

Spending his summer by the sea in Lavender Cove, after a fateful accident at work, was nothing Harry had really planned. He also didn’t plan to meet the lifeguard with the captivating blue eyes and the curious, curly dog.

He came to find peace but ended up finding happiness instead.

Or, if happiness comes in form of Louis Tomlinson, welcome it with open arms.

give you my fever (10K) by beautlouis

And he’s wanted it even more since he met Louis, it's driven him insane, he spends 90% of his life turned on because of Louis and he’s had no relief at all. He’ll wake up at night too hot and itchy, with Louis warm and sweet smelling next to him, and unable to do anything but wank unsuccessfully, with no release.

 

“I can try,” Louis says, close enough that Harry’s eyes cross a little trying to look at him. “I want to, I’ve never been with anybody, like, I’ve snogged people, lots of people, but I’ve never—touched anyone.” He clears his throat. “I’d touch you, Hazza.”

Harry’s breathing picks up. “Yes.” He doesn’t think there was a question but he’s a little overwhelmed. “Yes,” he repeats, dizzy.

Wake Up All Wet (like we're dripping in gold) (9K) by larry_hiatus | @larry-hiatus

Harry tends to wet the bed sometimes. His boyfriend Louis secretly finds it hot and likes to get off with Harry’s pants while Harry is in the shower. After Harry accidentally gets Louis wet too one night, Louis’ secret alone time doesn’t go quite as planned.

Louis’ Collarbones Religion (4K) by MartiniBianco

Oh sweet Louis. He's right that the interviewers were ruthless. But that's not what's making Harry restless.

No, it's that damn maroon t-shirt he's wearing. Every little movement he makes, the scoopneck moves and he shows off his collarbones and that damn tattoo. It is what it is. He should have talked Louis that damn tattoo out of his head while he still had the chance – before it taunted him at every possible occasion.

He's shaken out of his daydream by Louis hugging him. “Almost there mate, you can take a warm shower and relax, forget all about those bastard journalists.”

Well, Harry is planning on taking a hot shower. But maybe not exactly like Louis imagines.

aka Harry figures out he might not be super straight after obsessing over Louis' collarbones.

Sweetest Devotion (61K) by brightgolden | @brightgolden

After his divorce, all Harry wants in life is to provide a stable, loving environment for his three-year-old daughter, Evie.

Never in his wildest dreams has he ever considered that life might come with the presence of his teenage crush — Gemma’s friend from secondary school, Louis Tomlinson.

Luckily, Harry isn’t still pining over him.

A list of Haikyu!! character hcs

some of which are TERRIBLY specific! :,) Please enjoy and feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments! I'm all about exchanging hcs (I might reblog with additional characters orrr make multiple parts and link them here)

General hcs:

The people who I envision as chubby, buff, or just plain beefy have stretchmarks. I find it way more realistic (as someone who literally has them everywhere), and it adds some flair! Stretch marks are very pretty imo

Scars. People get childhood scars, accidental ones, surgical, etc. Whether its Osamu getting them from cooking practice or athletes from getting banged up! Idk I think the great majority of Haikyuu characters have some kind of scars!

Now for some specific characters!

Sakusa Kiyoomi

Sakusa plucks his eyebrow hairs (because he likes them to look neat) frequently, but if he'd let them just grow freely, he'd have a pretty close equivalent to a unibrow?

He has moles everywhere. Like he looks close to a dalmatian /hj

Eyebags (ty noon). I'd imagine they'd be a result of a combination of pale, thin skin under his eyes and partial bad sleep because of joint pains

He had THE WORST growth pains. He had to actually work on his posture for a hot minute after puberty because he just curled in on himself way too frequently

He is a walking pharmacy if he carries his bag with him. He not only has supplies he uses himself but also for others who might potentially need something (pain meds, masks, hand warmers, etc)

He gets super dry hands and uses hand cream frequently, especially in the winter (the brand he uses is barely scented, he doesn't like heavily perfumed things (they kind of just smell like alcohol to him sometimes)

He is a little bit particular about smells. He usually sticks to specific scents when buying things that don't really change from brand to brand or product to product (coconut and mint are usually his go-to)

He's really ticklish around his ribs and hips

Kita Shinsuke

Kita finds cleaning very therapeutic, but he can get really bad pains or feel really sore after,, he gets into this zone where he kind of forgets to take breaks until the pain catches up to him

I feel like he'd really like lavender scented things... Both for the calming effect and just the general nature of the smell

Kind of inspired by the fact that he hates static? He really doesn't like scratchy/itchy fabric, cannot bear to wear it really

He prefers very simple textures when it comes to food (rice is a safe choice, of course). Mushy is not really a favourite. There needs to be some diversity in it (f.e. eating something like plain yoghurt without fruits or anything in it is iffy), but nothing overwhelming

He does yoga. Or meditation. Or both?? Something something get your head cleared a bit before you start your day. He likes the routine of it

He takes care of his hands very frequently, seeing as he works with them a lot and doesn't like them even just feeling dirty, he keeps his fingernails very short because he doesn't like to get dirt or grime to get stuck under them

He is a SHAMELESS flirt when drunk.

Suna Rintaro

He does a lot of stretches. He likes the convenience of staying flexible, and it's a good routine to ground himself!

Similar to Sakusa getting dry hands, Suna uses chapstick pretty much religiously. Having chapped lips gives him a pretty bad urge to chew off the loose skin

He has multiple nervous habits?, examples are crackling his knuckles and / or generally his joints, fiddling with his hands (maybe dermatophagia?), and also playing with his ear piercings

He digs deep pressure a lot when it comes to his partner. Like, I'd imagine him asking Osamu to literally lay on top of him so he could decompress

Also, he kind of has trouble falling asleep sometimes, but one of his weaknesses is listening to his partner's heartbeat

Sniffle... 

Sniffle... 

Sniffle. 

“Oh my god.” Tony groaned loudly, hitting the back of his head against the wall of the quinjet dramatically, “Seriously?” 

“Tony.” Nat almost growled the man’s name staring daggers into his eyes, “Don't.” 

Tony held up his hands in surrender, a small smirk still playing at the corner of his lips. "Hey, I'm just saying," he said, "maybe next time you could check the pollen count before we head out on a mission." 

Natasha rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to you, who was sniffling and rubbing at your red, itchy eyes. "Don't worry," she said soothingly, "I'll take care of you." 

You smiled weakly at her, grateful for her comforting presence. Nat had always been your rock, and her unwavering support meant everything to you. 

Nat knew how bad your allergies could get and how miserable they made you feel at times. She also knew that there was nothing worse than being stuck on in the quinjet with no actual medicine to help, sure it stocked regular medicine, but some paracetamol wasn’t exactly going to help stop your ceaseless sneezing. 

But still, it wouldn’t hurt to ask, “Are you sure we have nothing that could help?” 

“Hold on, let me see what I have in my bag,” Nat said after thinking for a moment. Standing up, she rummaged through one of her rucksacks for a while before pulling out a small bottle. 

“This should help,” she said, showing her girlfriend the bottle of essential oils. “It’s a blend of lavender, peppermint, and lemon oils. Yelena told me about it a while ago, so I’ve just kept some of hand in case of emergencies. It should help.” 

You nodded, taking the bottle and tentatively sniffing it. “It smells good,” You realised, inhaling more deeply. 

Nat sat down back down next to you, putting her arm around your shoulder. “Just take deep breaths and try to relax,” she said softly. “We’ll be back at headquarters soon, and you can take a long shower and get some rest.” 

You leant into her, feeling grateful for Nat’s comforting presence. She closed her eyes and took deep breaths, inhaling the calming scent of the essential oils. 

As they flew back to headquarters, Nat kept her arm around her you, holding you close. She knew that allergies could be unbearable, but she was still glad she could help you feel a little better at least.

HOW TO EARN CHICKPEA'S TRUST SO I CAN GIVE HIM A LITTLE SMOOCH OR PERHAPS JUST TOUCH HIS HAND BEANS!?!?!? /hj /nf

-totally not the anon from yesterday

I'd say, in the context of the story, probably not possible! But that's mostly bc he is in a secret location, constantly monitored and restricted with who he interacts with - and I don't think he would appreciate someone messing with MY property~!

Huh?

But just for fun! Chickpea Trust Gaining 101!!!

Firstly, just treat him like a person! Yes he is a gigantic, doughy apex predator that could probably crush you with his pinkie, but clones were mostly made to look and act human, respect him as you would any other person

So like visit/talk with him often, respect his boundaries, give him a little gift sometimes, y'know how one assumedly normally makes friends with others!

But more specific things: Chickpea has a very strict routine, and he can get very upset if it interrupted in some way - so probably schedule visits during his enrichment time! That's when he gets to play and do fun puzzles, so you could join in too! Or help Soda wash him, he enjoys getting clean for the most part

Don't overstimulate him! So no need to shout! He's huge, but he can hear a pin drop from across the room - he can more than clearly hear you at a normal and calm speaking level! And probably don't run around or climb over him or sneak up on him - he's kinda like a truck, if you can't see the rearview mirrors (his eyes), he can't see you! He can still hear and smell you tho, but it's also kinda like being behind a horse - as in don't do that or get kicked

This also means no bellyrubs, since he is very sensitive there and hates being touched more than he needs to be - if you want to give him affection (and he lets you ofc), scratches under the chin, around the cheeks, ears and neck are the best! - Since those are spots where his muzzle and collar rubs against him and leaves him itchy

He also has a particular itchy spot in between his shoulders where a lot of his folds are - claw caps are not good for satisfying scratches - he loves to be scritched there! Just watch out for his deafening purr and getting flung off by his skin twitching (like y'know when you poke a cat and their whole body kinda ripples? It's like that but on a giant scale)

He's pretty sensitive to smells, and will be calmer with familiar scents, mostly bc most of the people he sees on a day-to-day are scented plushie clones kldfkfd - so scents he likes are lavender (Dr Lavender), chamomile (Nurse Chamomile), vanilla (Nilla), vaguely banana pudding (Nana Foster) and I guess it would be baby powder (Soda)

Ironically, the smell of pizza makes him nervous bc Bruno smells like pizza, so maybe avoid having pizza near him

Chickpea is also very food motivated, so giving him a tasty treat is a good way for him to warm up to ya! His favourite treats are soft-boiled eggs, plain/mildly flavoured yoghurts and meatsss - he's not huge on sweet stuff, but he'll eat pretty much anything

He is also very praise motivated, even if he does not show it much in his expression, so give him the occasional 'good job!' when he solves a puzzle, or a 'well done!' when he has his shots, and he'll be happy - he's not super into like y'know baby-puppy talk like 'who's a good boy? whos's a good boy? you are! yes you aree!' unless you are super close to him, so again, just respect him like a grown adult and not a baby or ouppy-dog

Andd I think that all I got right now!

Drop your Madara headcannons 🧠 💣

Hi! This is going to be quite a long list. Didn't add every single hc because I'm planning on writing a little fanfic and don't want to spoil some details to you hehe. Anyways, hope you enjoy! Some of these are very oddly specific, this man occupies at least half my brain if not more.

🔥 misc!

* He drinks his tea boiling hot. Burning your tongue? Never heard of it

* Is actually good at cooking and makes the most out of any ingredient available. Growing up in war, he knows how to make meals out of anything.

* Has a pillow to cuddle in bed! The dude is lonely.

* Very elegant and expensive hanko to stamp his documents. A clan leader needs to be fancy sometimes!

* Neat freak. Never has his house messy or his clothes out of place. Even his hair strands are calculated.

* Is actually able to mend/sew his clothes very well if some stitches are damaged during training.

* Sleeps a maximum of 6 hours a day, minimum of 30 minutes. The amount of sleep he gets is like playing a roulette (ever seen the eyebags? yeah)

* Speaking about the eyebags. His eyebags are both sunken and protruding (based on my personal experience of being sleep deprived+stressed) the lower eyelid pops out a little and the dark circles extend more.

* The man is physically unable to go out in social settings during the day. Only has social battery for the night. If he has to do some sort of diplomatic celebration with other clan leaders or kage during the day, he’ll leave the talking to someone better at social gatherings like Hashirama. 

* Has houseplants both for decoration and for cooking. We’re talking pretty succulents and mint plants or peach trees.

* The type of guy to wake up and immediately jump out of bed. Things have to be done everyday and he doesn’t trust people to do things the way he likes. 

🎀 appearance!

* Shaves to perfection every single morning, no excuses. Takes a little razor to missions, hates the feeling of facial hair growing. Trims his eyebrows as well. The Sharingan needs a pretty frame, right?

* The gloves have 2 purposes: protecting his hands from getting calluses or any form of damage due to the metal handle of the gunbai, kusarigama, etc and to hide burn scars (courtesy of @madaraservingcunt go follow her!)

* Continuing with the gloves, they’re made out of leather or thick cotton. Maybe has several sets of them for different activities.

* Smells like a mix of wood (cedar or pine), soot/ash, aloe and maybe lavender or wild daisy.

* Skincare and haircare? He’s VERY serious about these. Aloe vera facial masks for soothing the itchiness of constant katonjutsu, washes face with caution, rice water to keep his hair shiny, protective hairstyles to not damage the long hair strands, bamboo hairbrush to retain the natural oils, etc.

* Either has thick straight hair or textured and slightly wavy hair, definitely cut in layers. The wavy hair would make more sense as it poofs up when dry but looks rather straight when wet, taking into account the scenes of the battle in the Valley of the End (thank you Indra for the wavy hair and gorgeous mane genetics). Definitely loves his hair, fav part about himself.

* The bandages above his ankles are to keep the pants in place because his calves are thin and not very muscular, a small insecurity when he was a teen.

* Speaking of the terrible teens, he got grumpy whenever he got a breakout, zit, etc.

* Has mixed/dry, sensible skin. Dealt with painful and itchy sores due to lack of skin hydration while in war.

* Is a bit ashamed of his height and body proportions (i.e. wishing he was taller, less lean and more bulky, broader shoulders). These were regular nuisances during his teens but he eventually controlled the insecurities in adulthood, not managing to make them disappear completely nonetheless.

🍡 food!

* The databooks say that his fav food is inarizushi, so I've added that he likes similar things: onigiri, temaki, nigirizushi, tamagoyaki or even gyoza.

* Eats with little pleasure, only to fuel his body or whatever. That changes when Konoha is founded and he can actually enjoy and taste his meals.

* Dislikes greasy foods. Not a fan of ramen or katsudon, gyoza has to be boiled and would never eat tempura or ebi furai.

* Has a sweet tooth. We're talking dango, wagashi, dorayaki and more. However, only Izuna knew about this. Can't have a clan leader that eats candy like a little child.

* Prefers his sake cold and drinks mostly umeshu in informal gatherings.

* Actually likes fruit. I have no reason for believing this but he has the face of a man who likes fresh fruit. Fav fruit is persimmons or apples.

* Was malnourished as a child, giving away his food to his brothers or clansmen. Eventually took a toll on his muscle growth and height.

* Eats very light breakfast (maybe tea and some rice with nori or miso soup with wakame), heavy lunch (meat or fish, rice, more tea and other side dishes), no dinner.

* Favourite tea is jasmine or pu'erh, mostly drinks green tea and actually enjoys a good ceremonial matcha.

Thanks for the fun ask! I legit have a google docs of 4 pages full of hcs 😭 please send more asks about him I need to dump my brainrot

Prom Shopping (Part Two)

She knows she doesn’t want to wear a suit, really, but these are all to girly for her. Do they not have any emo/goth/alternative ones? She goes through the blacks and the purples and none strike her attention. “Maybe this one?” N is trying to help her find some. He holds up a big poofy purple one with sequins. “It’s beautiful, but it’s so big and poofy, plus I’m not that tall so it would be dragging on the floor and I’d trip over it. Not to mention sequins are itchy.” He nods and puts it back. V pulls out another, which is shot down for being too light of a purple, lavender, rather than a deeper plum or grape color. Lizzy picks one that Uzi deemed ‘to skin tight.’ “I’m an emo, not a hooker,” she says. Finally, Tessa and N find one that might just make it. “How about this?” N shows it to her. Uzi is entranced. It’s a deep, midnight-purple that looks nearly black. The skirt is down to her knees and poofy. It has a black petticoat under it. A purple bow is on the front with a skull decal in the center. The top is a corset style, lacing in the front and back. The sleeves are shoulderless and loosely-fitting. “It’s perfect!” Uzi exclaims as she runs her fingers down it. The fabric is silky feeling. She takes it from N and holds it in front of her as she looks in the mirror. She stands in awe at herself. “So pretty!” he scoops her up and kisses her, “prettiest girl at the prom!” She giggles as he spins her around. V smacks his shoulder. He drops Uzi to the floor. As she gets up, Lizzy rounds up the group, “so if we all got our stuff, can we leave now?” The whole group nods. As they’re standing in line at the register, N and Uzi have to add one more accessory. Matching fingerless gloves. They pay for their stuff and start walking home. “Can’t wait for this to marinate in my closet for 3 weeks,” Uzi says. Lizzy whips her head around, smacking Thad in the face with her ponytail, “dude, just enjoy the moment. It was fun having a day out.” “That was an hour,” J states. “Fine, let’s go get something to eat then, it’s only lunchtime,” Lizzy suggests. Mostly everyone cheers. J isn’t to happy, but goes along anyway with enough begging from Tessa.

Elena, Wisteria, Thorn, and their darling all being roomates, with darling either being oblivious or knowing that all of them are yanderes and just wants the chaos

I hope you’re ready to be at the center of a tug-of-war, here, Darling. Thorn will cling to you near-constantly, Wisteria will pout and try to coax you into spending time with faer and faer alone, and Elena will try to drag you out of the house to go on adventures with her. However, none of them are really liable to get violent with each other unless you’re hurt under their watch— they’ll all begin to blame each other and things could get ugly then. But as long as they all do their part to keep you safe and happy and separated from anyone besides them things will be somewhat peaceful. However, you should probably not be surprised to know that sometimes Elena watches you sleep, Wisteria’s got your room and bathroom bugged, Thorn likes to use your toothbrush, and that they all steal/borrow your clothes, albeit for varied purposes.

A clueless darling has them conflicted— it’s equally frustrating and endearing when you misread their approaches as platonic and selfless in nature. They worry even more about your safety out and about in the world, even with one or multiple of them there with you. They’ll probably keep you inside with them as much as possible. You’re just too gullible and sweet 🥺

A willing, even enthusiastic, darling is, of course, in for a good time~! They adore you, adore the fact that you accept them for who and what they are. The way you indulge them, the way you tease them and rile them up just to watch the chaos— it’s exhilarating, in the best way. You’re a drug they cannot get enough of. Unlike the clueless darling, they’re more comfortable taking you places with them. They don’t have to worry about hiding their true selves, or you leaving them for anyone else. In fact, you seem to enjoy watching them deal with anyone who gets a little too close to you— something that is comforting to them, in their own sick way.

Kirby loves Elena the most even though she calls him “Juice Box,” and pretends she’s gonna eat him. Maybe because she’s the most playful out of the three, and he can play fight as roughly as he wants with her because she doesn’t really feel pain from his bites the way that the humans of the house do. Thorn, of course, is a little bummed that her baby boy loves somebody more than her, but she’s a liiittle lower energy than Elena anyway so sometimes she just sits back and watches them play

Kirby fucking HATES Wisteria (because she tried to put him in an itchy lavender sweater one (1) time), hisses at her, and loves to scare fae by running out from under the couch to bite her before running away 😭

Elena dislikes how messy Thorn and Wisteria leave their shared living space and the fact that she can’t really throw parties with those dweebs around��� Wisteria is antisocial and would throw a hissy fit, and Thorn has a special talent for getting shitfaced and embarrassing Elena. It also feels a liiiitle hypocritical to her (“You can play video games as loud as you want and yell at screens all night long, but if I have a few friends over for drinks it’s a problem?” 😒)

Thorn, as always, has no concept of personal boundaries and WILL eat other people’s food, use their shampoo, etc (especially Darling’s things~ 😏). It’s not uncommon to find her snoring away facedown in somebody else’s room either, usually without permission 😬

Wisteria is the only one who can cook even a little bit, so unless Darling wants to cook too there’s mostly gonna be takeout and energy drinks in the fridge 😭 (Elena doesn’t usually bother, can’t eat human food anyway. Thorn could probably burn cereal)

tulip, dandelion, buttercup, lavender, snowdrop, winterberry for Siv, Jay, and Sohelia :)

Tulip - If you could say/do one thing to your OC, what would you say/do?

Siv: "It wasn't your fault. You were just a kid, and you did what you could."

Jay: "You can't fix everything. Sometimes you just need to let it go and leave it to fate."

Sohelia: "You're not a monster. You're a good person, no matter what your DNA says."

Dandelion - Does your OC get overwhelmed easily?

Siv: Not really. It takes a lot to get to Siv, but once Siv's broken down, they spiral HARD.

Jay: Jay is cool as a cucumber. Maybe it's because he's blazed out of his gourd half the time, or maybe he's just a chill dude. Who knows?

Sohelia: Absolutely. She's basically a giant ball of anxiety and self-hatred.

Buttercup - Does your OC have any odd quirks/habits?

Siv: Tends to use a lot of the same body language as Eobard (like circling someone with her hands clasped behind their back when she wants to be intimidating, for instance)

Jay: Scratches at his right hand a lot- mostly because he implanted a series of chips under the skin to be able to control his wheelchair hands-free with just gestures, but that can get itchy.

Sohelia: Obsessively checks her reflection often- even though she knows she's looked the same since she was a baby, one of her worst fears is waking up one morning and suddenly looking way more vampire-y.

Lavender - How does your OC cope with loud noises?

Siv: They might jump a little, but it doesn't bother them in the long run.

Jay: Doesn't visibly startle, but immediately locates the source of the noise.

Sohelia: Same as Jay- doesn't startle, but goes on alert.

Snowdrop - What is something your OC loves, and what is something they hate?

Siv: Loves eating foods containing dairy. Hates the aftereffects of eating dairy on their stomach.

Jay: Loves spending time with Cassandra. Hates when Cassandra goes out into the field on a solo mission.

Sohelia: Loves going out in the woods alone. Hates herself.

Winterberry - Use one or more photos that encapsulates your OC's clothing style.

Siv:

Casual - Formal - Active

Jay:

Casual - Formal - Active

Sohelia:

Casual - Formal - Active

I just laughed thinking about how many products curly hair takes vs Stede’s like 3-in-1 . (Jk. Maybe)

So I know I've posted pics, but a long time ago, so for cred, here's my hair (and me)

I use SO MUCH product. I rotate out a lot, try new things, but yeah. There's a ritual. A process. Eddy has very long hair, so the amount of conditioner they go through alone is probably epic. Their hair care routine would be intense and as Eddy would know not to use heat on their hair, drying probably takes ages. Stede is frequently shown braiding Eddy's hair and I think that's one of the things she does to extend time between wash days (because curly haired people frequently have fairly dry scalps, it can be a few days before there's an odor. I usually wash it when my scalp gets itchy or I've done intense exercise, every 3-5 days).

So yes, Eddy's deal is more intense than Stede's.

HOWEVER, please do not imagine a world where Stede 'Yummy Lavender Soap' Teach-Bonnet would use a 3-in-1! He has lovely expensive 'for blondes' formulas and it all smells fantastic.

I think very few of the Leda House denizens would use 3-in-1. Izzy would be the most likely, but Lucius approvingly notes all the way back in I Want to Break Free that he doesn't and in fact uses, the well known pine scented shampoo and conditioner (I defy anyone to tell me that a 18th century pirate who seems to own bril cream would use 3-in-1).

Pete probably does, but as the man has no hair, I think we can let him slide on it. He does moisturize his scalp from time to time. Jim might've at one point, but Oluwande would help them find gentler products.

...I have strong hair feelings apparently.

[ignisregina]

WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE SMELL LIKE? her hair smells like apples, her skin lavender. she doesn't like overpowering scents (makes her dizzy) so she wears hers gentle to the nose.

WHAT DO YOUR MUSE’S HANDS FEEL LIKE? there was a time they were calloused and rough, back when she didn't have mastery of her powers and would scorch herself by accident. now the fire gently consumes old skin, giving way to a new, softer layer. she must always use moisturizer, though. the shedding is annoyingly itchy. she's very particular with her lotions.

WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE USUALLY EAT IN A DAY? she's not big on breakfast, somedays she'll have it, most days she won't. she'd settle for pancakes, french toast when she has some time. anything quick to cook would be good lunch or dinner - maybe a chicken or egg sandwich for the former, a speedily prepped pasta for the latter. she's more likely to fix up more elaborate meals when there is special company.

DOES YOUR MUSE HAVE A GOOD SINGING VOICE? yup. she might sing in the shower but not while working.

DOES YOUR MUSE HAVE ANY BAD HABITS OR NERVOUS TICKS? after a terrible nightmare, instead of falling back to sleep, she'd drink coffee because she can't sleep anymore and "the night is wasted anyway". she'd clean up a space completely before she starts working - can't work in a messy space.

WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE USUALLY LOOK LIKE / WEAR? a shirt and pleated pants in the studio, slip on shoes - something she doesn't mind getting messed up with paint and are easy to clean. outside work she favors jumpsuits, turtlenecks, simple blouses and jeans. she'd usually pair these with blazers for more formal work functions.

IS YOUR MUSE AFFECTIONATE? HOW SO? in private and mostly in small gestures. she's not open to acquaintances being touchy. she might not check on people for a time, though, because she's busy and tired, and she struggles to keep up with everything. but she remembers important days and wouldn't fail to reach out on those. she's more open to people reaching out than doing it herself.

WHAT POSITION DOES YOUR MUSE SLEEP IN? on her side, at the edge of the bed, arms crossed in front of her chest.

COULD YOU HEAR YOUR MUSE IN THE HALLWAY FROM ANOTHER ROOM? no, she doesn't like drawing attention to herself. she's not exceptionally quiet, it's just that she doesn't like being disturbed and would like to extend the same courtesy to those around her.

Knee is healing ok, minimal bruising as usual because I just don't bruise more than green (even on blood thinners so I get nasty bumps and short of it being my head: not much to show for it). Wounds are still inflamed but that's just the immune system. I've been having to crop out a cut on my finger from photos that's been looking nasty for two weeks. It's just how that works.

R I C E: Rest, ice (heat actually, i don't do well with ice), compression, elevation worked well. There's some fluid but no friction or particularly strong pain when walking. Fluid removal is 'wait and see'.

My shoes have worn frictionless. Shoe shopping is going to be near impossible for multiple tl,dr reasons: catalogue and the small shoe shop in town won't work, I've been dreading this. But I have boots for this winter and hopefully will find a solution before spring. But hey this time last year I was wearing shoes for more than an hour for the first time. 😅😎

I'm really enjoying getting back into Stargate Atlantis: goldilocks brain zone for the moment. I know the day will come when finishing an episode will feel like a cringey chore or periods where I'm not bored per se but not immersed enough to summon the will but it's a great world to fall back to and have as sort of background for crafting with pauses in crafting for important bits.

The vaccine is slowly finishing up after 2 days fever and those ugh aches it's now just an itchy upper arm. I've felt less panicked talking to people, it's not a magic shield of course it's just a tiny thing that makes the world less lethal so yeah that feels massive.

Sis and I found someone had dumped about 60 brand new 9 day candles, we assumed they were survivalist (orange and yellow packaging) or cozy (they're low danger), thought about maybe decorating them and gifting them for xmas before remembering that this is catholic country, those are novena prayer candles and day of the saints was two weeks ago. 💀😬 That would have not been an appropriate gift.

So I got to play around with one: soy wax and the wick, glitter, mika, pastel chalk pigment and some shot glasses. It's low temp so you can use the microwave.

I feel confident I could whip up an emergency dried lavender flowers with essential oil in pale lilac shimmer soy candle in a jam jar if we needed an emergency present this holiday season. Last year got a little complicated because we didn't have the ingredients to do quick candies or baked goods as we don't have sugar in the house.

I'm getting overwhelmed again, need to go through the to do lists and cull what's just not realistic and break down tasks that seem too hard because they're not chopped into easier parts.

Hope everyone is doing ok, sending lots of love. 💜💜💜

✨@countlessrealities. meme. still accepting!

💥 COLLISON - what emotions do they have trouble dealing with?

for all of his need to encourage other people, virote actually struggles with displaying positive emotions and also coming to terms with them for himself. virote has a very, very big case of Sad Clown Syndrome™ and ya hate to see it. he's always making other people laugh and smile, but it's really hard to get him there… lol. like i just went through his entire history as a muse on this site and searched up through every blog and he laughs less than 10 times out loud in a thread. it almost makes him seem humorless, but that's ridiculous because possesses humor…. too much humor. he's a lil too silly at times lgfdjgd. you've seen his clown antics on dash!

due to mental illness, he's definitely experiencing some sort of emotional blunting and just his personality in general fights him on that.

he just never laughs. it's just not something he does.

he admitted rick makes him laugh tho. 👀

anyway it's kinda hard to tell where his emotional issues + misery starts and where his general laidback sense of self-expression starts / ends. sucks for him tho cuz he's so sweet and is always making sure everyones having a good time. It's The Trauma, I Guess-._.-._.-

anyway. sometimes virote feels overwhelming amounts of joy and it freezes him and that kills him a little on the inside at times, that he doesn't know how to parse through happiness.

🍰 CAKE SLICE - favourite cake flavour? are they specific about types of cakes?

vi doesn't eat cake that often, but when he does he usually gravitates towards matcha / green tea cake and he doesn't like it to be too packed with sugar because he likes earthy flavors in his sweets. his go to matcha cake recipe is two tiers with fresh strawberries and a berry compote in the middle with the liiiiightest layer of cream on the outside. and a lot of matcha powder for the cake itself—maybe a lil bit too much matcha for many people.

other flavors he likes are... honey-lavender, pumpkin, ginger-lemon, salted macademia. he also likes a good tofu cheesecake. his tofu cheesecake slaps.

🌺 HIBISCUS - do they have any allergies?

virote doesn't have any allergies, but super cheap stretch velvet makes him itchy!

Happy Tag Game

I got retagged in this by @my-writblr, TY cariad :D

Rules: When you receive this, list 5 things that make you happy and send this to 10 of the last people in your notifications! :)

I just got a new desk! So much more space :D My brother kindly helped me with a tip-run so I also have less crap in the house overall ^.^

LIFX bulbs - Mine died a few months ago, so I've been putting up with a crappy CFL which makes waking up - even in summer - really difficult and makes me feel disassociated in the evening. I've just got a new LIFX bulb; being slowly woken by a bright white light in the mornings is wonderful.

Sun puddles - Now summer is getting closer, there're more puddles of sunlight in the lounge and the desire to just curl up and sleep in them is way too strong ^.^;

My tiny balcony garden (and adjacent indoor plants). Spurred on by the new desk purchase, I went out and bought some balcony baskets, so now my "garden" consists of: a blueberry bush from last year (B/Day gift from my Mum); an unwanted tomato plant from my Uncle; two flower pots; a strawberry plant; a Bird of Paradise; a cactus, a succulent, and an Amaryllis.

Having short hair - I hate having long hair during the summer, it's hard to handle, makes my face hot and itchy and is just a PITA. So I got it cut recently, and now it's blissfully short again :D

As I don't have a general tag games list, I'm going to tag the last 10 people in my notifs as instructed.

Dear last 10 people in my notifs, please feel free to ignore this if you don't fancy playing.

Get to Know Tag

I got tagged in this by @iparisaltanwing and @lowslore. Thanks guys <3

Rules: tag 9 people you want to get to know/catch up with

Favorite color: Still purple, but am very much enjoying the “it’s just snowed and now the sky is clear again” brilliant-but-somehow-translucent blue

Last song: The Gent and I listened to a lot of classical rock while cooking over the Xmas break, but I cannot recall the last one I heard. Probably something by AC/DC or Led Zeppelin ^.^;

Currently reading: Nothing; I am between worlds right now. However I got given a load of books over Xmas, so I’ll probably start with “Rain: Four Walks in English Weather“ by Melissa Harrison

Last movie at home: Wish Dragon. It’s basically “Aladdin, only the Genie is a Dragon”, but it still gave me a punch to the heart.

Sweet, savory, or spicy: Spicy. I’m having a small craving for something with ginger in it rn (although I’m still all three as and when)

Currently working on: A prompt from the Homestead’s Fall Prompt Week; as yet untitled, it’s a short story turning the concept of good/ evil being light/ dark on its head. Also the first draft of The Ruby Falls, a modern/ fix-it AU of TESIV: Oblivion.

Tagging: @strosmkai-rum @chauceryfairytales @morganwriteblr @warriorbookworm @odysseywritings @spacetimewraithwrites @jaguarthecat @dreamwishing @alias-levi (IDK who’s still active or still wants tag games, so please let me know if you want taken off this list)

[28whitepeonies]

soooo if one were to hypothetically be taking a trip to scotland in july, (and flying into edinburgh), what should that someone pack?

(i say hypothetically because i've been grounded by pey and lexie for almost dying and then proceeding to make a joke about almost dying)

Hi friend!

Omg how exciting, in this hypothetical situation would this someone be coming with family or friends? And is this someone thinking they'd mainly be in Edinburgh/cities or like planning to get out and about? What they bring might vary slightly depending on that.

Scotland in July is great, the days are so long because the sun comes up about 4am and sets about 10pm and everyone is just happy to be warm! It can get pretty hot in the last couple weeks of July (like hot for here not hot hot) but the temperature will range anywhere between 12 and 22 degrees most days and you can't rely on the weather at all but there's usually a weekend where it gets up to around 27 to 30. And I know that might not sound hot compared to parts of the US, but the two things to remember when it comes to the heat are that pretty much nowhere in Britain, but maybe even especially in Scotland, has any infrastructure to deal with heat. Air con just doesn't exist here - the closest you are going to get is the refrigerated section of the supermarket. The second thing is that when it's hot here it's really humid and really muggy.

So if you are thinking about what to pack to wear the best thing you can do is bring lots of layers, and try to bring things that are light that you can take on/off and put in a bag. You will 1000000% need a really light waterproof because I guarantee you'll leave in the morning to sunshine and it'll be pouring by lunch, and a lot of the time it might be warm in the sun but freezing in the shade so you'll want to be able to take things on/off easily. The weather changes a lot and it's pretty normal for you to go through all the seasons in one day so try and think about that!

The last thing I would warn anyone who hasn't been to Scotland in summer about is the midges (which are small biting flies) that exist here in the Summer and they are hell. And I don't mean like normal flies - these exist in massive quantities that you can't escape no matter where you go and you'll be bitten to death (well not literally but their bites are itchy and uncomfortable). You see them in these like swarms anywhere even remotely green from about April to September. So get some midge repellant or some like lavender or lemongrass oils and bathe in the stuff lol!

Hope you are no longer grounded xoxo
