Prompt 90

Jaskier accidentally ingests a love potion, and becomes obsessed with Geralt. He sings him songs, reads him poetry, hugs him and compliments him and blows him kisses. ... Okay so he's acting as he always does. But he desires more touch and affection from Geralt, and who is Geralt to deny his enchanted friend? But Geralt eventually has to leave for a hunt, and Lovepotioned up Jaskier would be in terrible danger if he came with, so Geralt commands he stay back at the inn. He comes back to an absolutely inconsolable bard who keeps asking Geralt what he did wrong, and how he can better for Geralt to love him again. Geralt awkwardly tries to talk his friend through it, before giving up on talking and just giving Jaskier a quick chaste kiss. Jaskier stops blubbering and immediately is overjoyed, enjoying Geralt snuggles the rest of the night. Jaskier sleeps in a bit the next morning, but Geralt wakes him up with a kiss to his forehead and a tender hug. For the rest of the day, Jaskier looks more surprised with every touch or sentence Geralt gives him, which is a tad odd, as the first day of the potion, Jaskier seemed only happy and relieved when Geralt gave him love. Now, Jaskier seems shocked by Geralt's audacity, though still very happy about it. Geralt finally reaches Yennefer, who Jaskier did not know they were on their way to visit. Geralt asks for Yennefer to lift the love potion's curse from Jaskier, only for her to explain it's not there. It was clearly one that wore off in a day. That mean this entire day Jaskier wasn't enchanted but he and Geralt kept acting like it. Jaskier profusely apologizes, already in tears, and confesses he just liked Geralt giving him affection, touch, and praise. Geralt pays Yennefer for her time wasted and scoops up his bard to head back to an inn so they can calm down. Geralt is embarrassed, but not angry, per se. He tells Jaskier this, and gives him a kiss on the forehead. "All you had to do was ask, Bard." "I promise it was real at first!" "I know, Jask." "But you kissed me and held me and-" "I know, Jask." "I'm sorry." "It's forgiven, bard. We don't have to stop." That night, both bard and witcher fell asleep, wrapped around each other, both's lips bruised from kissing.

Tell me why I thought season 1 of Star Prodigy was 8-12 episodes long and I could watch in a day and not have to wait and binge straight through season 2.

20 episodes?! I am being spoilt. Multiple filler episodes, no need to wonder; gee they don't have a lot of time to wrap up all these storyline before the finale how will they pull it off?

I would die for Rok-Takh. She is so adorable. If anything bad ever happens I will not be okay. (It was bad enough she ended up in the slowest moving time frame in that one episode)

Also, what year is this set? Did Janeway just get home and surprise you are now greying, rock that grey streak! It must be at least a few years after they got home, right? Or did Starfleet stress her out so much she just went grey the moment she returned from the DQ?

Prompt 98

Geralt comes clean to Jaskier one night that he feels as if their friendship and their traveling partnership is a little onesided, but because he's Geralt, he doesn't articulate this well enough to actually draw you to the correct damn conclusion. Jaskier assumes Geralt is dropping hints that Jaskier isn't doing enough. Geralt hunts and provides for them, and he does the contracts, and he does the cooking (Jaskier would set water on fire if he could) - Thus, Jaskier begins doing more in order to try and prove himself to Geralt. Geralt has finally admitted to Jaskier that he hasn't been doing enough. Jaskier made Geralt famous with one song, Jaskier barters their prices, Jaskier sings to earn them money every night, Jaskier holds his own in the fights he's unfortunately involved in, Jaskier takes care of camp while Geralt is away hunting, Jaskier massages Geralt, and cares for his hair- I mean, it's so much that Jaskier does for them, and Geralt feels he doesn't do enough. But Geralt has finally admitted that he's not doing enough to Jaskier, so now he has the motivation to do better! He just wishes it didn't keep seeming miraculously more and more difficult to keep up with Jaskier-

I am neither a coffee theory hater nor supporter. The number of times that specific coffee was shown in the intro does tell me that its not nothing. BUT!! I think it can have some truth and still be a moment of true disconnect between them!! I don't think that coffee theory even holds any weight if they weren't both already flawed!! Because if they had spent any damn time communicating instead of hiding shit from each other then Crowley would have known something was wrong, would have gone with him, or believed that Aziraphale genuinely wanted to make Heaven worthy of him.

If Aziraphale hadn't spent centuries hurting Crowley and making him feel like he was lesser then Crowley wouldn't have been so hurt by it.

I'm not saying that this makes coffee theory true, in fact I don't personally believe in coffee theory as an overt "Aziraphale was drugged and had no control" thing - I suspect if it is true that its far more subtle than that, something that drove a wedge between them rather than something that just mind controlled him (I mean, if that were true, wouldn't Aziraphale leaving have been overtly crueler? Perhaps even just leaving without a word? No, its far more painful if the persuasion is subtle, if Aziraphale isn't controlled, but nudged in the "right" direction).

I'm not entirely sure where I'm going with this, but as someone firmly in neither camp, I just want to say that coffee theory doesn't negate Aziraphale and Crowleys autonomy or choice in that finale. It isn't a magic "no one did anything wrong" plotline that makes the characters 2D. If anything it draws intentionally on their flaws to pull them slowly apart.

Because what is better for Heaven and Hell than to separate the love that saved the world last time?

This isn't just about drawing Aziraphale in, its about tearing Aziraphale and Crowley apart at the seams, and coffee or not, Heaven knew exactly how to do it without making either of them suspect a thing.

My mother holds grudges for longer than she probably should, yet she doesn't communicate.

She doesn't ask the questions to know the truth, or ask what she should do, or tell them what she thinks. If she does, it's normally said to the wrong people.

The problem is, is that my entire family never learnt to communicate; to speak when somethings wrong, or when someone does something that makes you feel bad.

We shouldn't have to wait for things to build up, to the point that we snap just to be able to say what needs to be said, we should just be able to talk about it.

I've been told by my family that, I come across as blunt and that I say things as they are. Which isn't entirely truthful, I do try to sugar-coat things a little, I guess I'm not putting enough sugar on it. But even though they said that, even I struggle to communicate when needed. If I did say things exactly as I thought, I don't think I'd be liked as much.

And yes, in a way I do kind of blame my family and the other generations of my family before ours up to the point, that made communicating something to be feared. I don't want to be scared to say what I feel, because it drags things out longer than needed, causes people to hold unnecessary grudges that the other person doesn't even know about, and its just altogether frustrating.

Learning to communicate things can be hard, especially when the people your trying to communicate with don't understand how easily things can be fixed by it, or they're just to stubborn to push their anger and frustration aside to see things clearly.

I've been told not say anything to the other person, but when you know both people and how sensitive the other is, a weight gets forced on your shoulders. You have to listen to the other complain about something that can be sorted in a matter of a few seconds and just by a few questions.

I'm battling with myself of whether or not to go behind the persons back and just ask anyway. I've tried telling them to do it theirself but they don't want problems to be caused.

And that's the problem with my family. They always want to keep the "peace", but what peace is there to keep when it's doomed to come crashing down by miscommunication and bad assumptions. I know for a fact, that everyone in my family pretends, pretends that they don't care about that thing that happened, or that thing that someone said, because they don't want to bring it up again, they don't want to start anything again. Yet deep down they do, they do care.

And I know I will eventually do something that will make them hate me. And they won't tell me, because they don't how to.

Anime-only here but I still think there is something hilariously sad that Eris leaves Rudeus precisely because she loves him and eagerly wants to improve for his sake, but she and everyone else says nothing about it so Rudeus feels so rejected that he falls into depression. Like gurl your communication skill sucks lmao did it have to become like this

[howifeltabouthim]

She and Christopher had always just missed understanding each other, like cars trying and failing to merge into each other's lanes.
