PART 5 Stains of red

Astarion x omega!reader

Warnings: Vampire things, blood, light gore, witch things, fantasy things, swearing, age gap, heats, smut, shameless flirting, virgin reader, indulging in pleasure xD, pining, jealousy

Previous part <-

Astarion didn’t visit the next few days and you avoided seeing anyone. You needed supplies, but didn’t find the energy to do anything. Pax was always with you except for night time, worried caws and gently pecks. You’d pet his head from time to time enjoying the soft black feathery feel. You jolted awake to a knock and frowned seeing the sun still up, you must’ve fallen asleep. You opened the door seeing a stranger, a traveller.

“Sorry my lady, I’m terrible lost” the alpha said.

“Oh course, just follow this path, you’ll get to the village” you said pointing to the path going to the forest.

“Thank you my lady” he nodded his head and flashed you a brilliant smile.

“My names Ivis” he said holding his hand out. You went to shake it, but instead he kissed the back of your hand making flush slightly and say your name.

“Beautiful name, May I ask why’re you out here by yourself?” He asked and sighed thinking, another alpha who can’t see an omega surviving by herself.

“I’m the village witch I suppose” you shrugged.

“Oh how wonderful!” He said and you frowned, not the usual reaction.

“Perhaps you could help me” he flushed embarrassed.

“I’ve got this problem, on my back it itches like hell, I think I bathed in something bad in a river” he grimaced.

“Oh of course come in” you said stepping out the way so he could step in. He set down his backpack outside and headed in. You caught more of his scent, something infecting him, but a nice spice to him.

“Just in that room on the chair” you pointed and he nodded going to it and sitting down. He took off his jacket and you saw tattoos down his arms, strange swirls and patterns. He shrugged off his shirt, he was all muscle, probably from travelling a lot, his tattoos going up and circling in and end on his shoulders. You winced though seeing the angry red rash on his back, yellow infection seeping from where he scratched.

“Oh boy” you muttered going to moosh up some ingredients.

“Bad right?” He laughed.

“I’m sorry” you quickly said and he chuckled.

“It’s alright I know it’s bad, it feels bad” he said and you smiled. He was carefree in a sense, good humour.

“This may sting and be cold” you said and he nodded bracing himself making you smile. This big alpha probably swam in a gross swamp, thinking nothing of it and got this rash and ignored it for weeks. He hissed slightly when you applied the salve and you apologised. Though you could heal it with magic instantly, you felt he was more into the medical approach.

“I should’ve said I can heal this with magic” you said softly and he shook his head.

“I don’t mind, magic is hard, draining on the body, wouldn’t want you to waste your beautiful energy on me” he said and your heart jumped a bit.

“Besides magics quick, I can talk to you this way and come back” you could hear his grin and couldn’t help but, chuckle.

“There” you finished up gently placing a cool towel over it and he groaned.

“Oh that’s much better” he said and you chuckled.

“Gods this good” he added and you laughed shaking your head as you sat across the table from him.

“How long have you been out here?” He asked soft brown eyes looking to you.

“My whole life, my parents died when I was young, Asta-“ you stopped, Astarion had traveled a bit, you didn’t know who he had bad blood with.

“I’m sorry” he said sadly.

“My parents died too, not that young, when I was twenty. Headed on a ship and never came back” he sighed.

“I don’t know if they died though, I assume so” he shrugged lightly.

“Then I just started travelling” he shrugged.

“Who took care of you though?” He asked head slightly tilted.

“The villages aided me, funny really they all chipped in to raise me” you lied with a chuckle, hell the villages were not allowed near you, Astarion was territorial. Talking with Ivis was calming and nice, he was easy to talk too and a good laugh. By the time you knew it, it was night time.

“Gods its night already, I best leave you” he said and you stood checking his back, all the liquid from the had soaked in, leaving dry leaves and flowers.

“I’ll wipe this off first” you said wiping the remnants off. His back was less red and angry now.

“It feels much better than you” he said putting his shirt on gently.

“Of course, you may want another layer tomorrow, I can make you some” you said going to your bench.

“No, no it’s ok, I’d like to come back” he said and you turned to him slightly shocked.

“Oh, yeah of course” you said cheeks hot.

“Thank you again Y/n” he said and you nodded avoiding his eyes.

“You’ll want to see Lily at Lilys garden, she has the best hot meals and then head over to Haira at sleep and dreams for lodging” you recommended leading him to the door.

“Thank you very much” he smiled and you smiled back, he looked even better in the moonlight.

“Try to avoid sleeping on your back tonight” you added.

“Yes ma’am” he chuckled and you smiled shaking your head.

“Have a goodnight” you said as he waved and left.

“Goodnight” he called. You smiled, but frowned slightly at the overly glowing red eyes staring at you through the forest.

Happy New Year! Dunno if you ship it, but Snape/Sirius for the ask game.

Happy New Year! With a WIP that started in 2021, and 76,748 words later, the answer is... of course XD What made you ship it? @thedreamermusing to be honest! She was the first one who pointed out the narrative paralleling between them. And then she shared some fantastic fanwork, and that was it for me.

What are your favorite things about the ship?

Gonna quote Dreamer here - "Snape has father issues; Sirius has Mommy issues. Their lives run parallel more or less- Sirius and Snape both form a formative best friend friendship in their childhood, are both drawn sorted in their houses in an effort to cement their own family complexes (Snape and his mom, Sirius and his family), both base their identities om the basis of belonging to a community (Snape-DEs, Sirius- Marauders), both form their moral complexes by becoming the opposite of their roots (Snape loves the dark arts and blood supremacy, Sirius hates the dark arts and hangs muggle posters), both have a cruel sense of humour (Snape thinking dark magic is just a laugh, Sirius thinking feeding Remus Snape a la Carte being a joke), both of them joining a group to further themselves away from their roots after school, both of them risking their lives to protect their best friends, both of them making a terrible mistake by trusting the wrong person that leads to their best friend dying, both of them punishing themselves for the next 12 years to atone, both of them using the memory of their bffs as the one shining light in their miserable lives to keep going on, both of them forced in their childhood homes in the last part of their lives, both of them finally dying for Harry." Narrative parallels? Enemies to lovers? Exploration of trauma? All of them hit my buttons. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? This is such a niche fandom with super similar tastes (and very chill people!), I can't imagine what we all disagree on lol.

[countlessrealities]

@misstantabismuses​​ sent:  ☀ Does the mun have other muses beside you? What is your opinion on them? (I need Rick to answer this XD) Muses talking about the mun || Accepting !

Ice blue eyes linger on the question for a moment, before Rick scoffs, but under the annoyance that curls his features there’s a little smirk. It’s not every day that he gets given free rein to speak his mind. Oh, he always does it anyway, but right now? He won’t face any consequences for it.

“I-I’m going to assume that t-the first part of this fuckin’ question is rhetorical, b-because fuckin’ duh. F-Fuckin’ multi-muse, i-it’s written everywhere. I-I’d have shit to say about that too, but eh. I-I guess I’ll leave it for the next rant.”

He shrugs, leaning against the workbench in a way that’s only apparently casual.

“Let’s get fuckin’ started.”

“Summer an-and Morty. Sum-Sum is cool, w-we have a lot of good parties an-and shit together. S-She annoys the hell out of me at times, b-but she makes up for it because she’s useful an-and I can always have her running errands for me. A-As for Morty...we have a complicated relationship, b-but he’s my little buddy. M-My adventure partner. S-So, I guess he sort of is my favourite...b-but if you tell anyone, I-I’ll fucking deny it. H-He’s also a pain in my ass w-when he gets too cocky or too stubborn, but...W-We work well together. W-We’re a fuckin’ good team. An-And he always includes me in his threads, one way or the other, s-so I fuckin’ appreciate that.”

“T-Then there’s Stan and A-991. W-We’re pals, he’s really fuckin’ fun to hang around. An-And it’s great to play cards with someone w-who’s almost as good as me at cheating. A-AR is one of the few Ricks I can stand. I-I guess we’re friends, kind of? S-Scotty has their canon for us, b-but it doesn’t apply to all my verses, s-so it’s mostly something they keep in their head.”

“An-And then there’s Jinx an-and Blitzo. O-Our Jinx is okay, I guess? S-She mostly keeps away, s-so I don’t really engage her. B-But it’s fun to see her playing pranks on the other muses...n-not so much when she targets me. B-Blitzo is fun to have around. W-We butt heads a lot an-and he’s a fuckin’ idiot and g-goddammit, you should see his room in the mindscape...N-Never seen that much horse stuff in the same place, holy shit. B-But I like his sense of humour, s-so we can have a laugh.”

“M-Millie and Stan’s great grandkid? N-No opinions. I-I’ve never talked to them, an-and I don’t really care to. I-I think Mabel is friends with my Morty, b-but it’s hard to tell. I-I don’t pay any attention to her at all.”

“T-The other three Ricks and the other Morty...T-They are basically fuckin’ useless. I-I don’t fuckin’ get why Scotty keeps them on the blog. I-I mean, they take up space an-and nothing else. I-It’s not like they get to write them, s-so they could just throw them out. N-No one wants to write with them, so w-what’s the goddamn point?”

He finally pauses for a moment, his expression slowly shifting into a scowl. And now for the grand finale. He has let the three people he can’t stand as the last for a reason.

“N-Now that all this is out of the way...t-the fuckin’ evil trio. I-I don’t even fuckin’ know where to start from. J-Jesus, have you fucking seen them? T-The demonic nacho, President Psycho an-and his Rick feral pet? W-What...Ho-How could anyone like them? T-They are fuckin’ creepy, fuckin’ annoying an-and just as fuckin’ pleasant as a cactus shoved up your ass w-without lube.”

He throws his hands in the air before crossing them on his chest.

“I-I have never seen tha-that fuckin’ triangle being normal, n-not even for five seconds. H-He just hangs there, making shitty deals an-and constantly finding loopholes an-and just staring at you with that one eye of yours...An-and don’t get me started on how he drinks or eat. O-Or on that goddamn monster tongue an-and teeth he grows out of his eyelids. S-Shits, he makes killer martinis an-and he’s really good at the piano, b-but everything else? He’s fuckin’ terrible.”

“T-The little freak is just...f-fuckin’ unbearable. W-What fourteen years old is that creepy? I-I swear, he’s supposed to be a version of Morty, b-but he’s a race on his own. H-He has this polite exterior, all empty smiles an-and elaborate words. I-It gives me the chills every time b-because I know it’s fake, b-but it’s so good that I-I almost thing it’s not. I-It drive me insane. An-And, worst of all? He’s smart. H-Here I say it and here I deny it, but fuck. Tha-That makes it even more dangerous. N-No empathy, ruthlessness an-and intelligence? I-I don’t give a shit about it, b-but damn. Keep him away.”

“An-And Evil Rick...I-I can see whom the little creep take after. T-The guy doesn’t have a hint of sanity left. H-He speaks just a few words an-and when he does...He’s fuckin’ scary. An-And I don’t scare easily. H-He lingers in the mindscape with this cold gloomy aura all around him an-and ruins my vibes all the time. An-And when he isn’t? He’s cooped up i-in his lab of horrors d-doing shit that would make Freddy Krueger shit himself. I-I had a few...not so pleasant experiences with him an-and let’s say that I’ve learnt to leave him alone.”

“An-And you know what’s worse than President Psycho an-and Psycho Senior? T-The two of them together. I-I’m not fuckin’ touching that. Nope. B-But Scotty has this fucked up verse where they ‘make up’ or-or whatever an-and it’s one of the most messed relationships I-I’ve ever seen.”

He shakes his head, as to chase away whatever image has popped up in the front of his mind.

“B-But yeah, I’m done. T-To sum it up? T-This place is an overcrowded zoo w-with some pleasant moments.”

What is attractive to you in a person?

Self entitled spoilt brat behaviour, being rude to servers, creating a scene for stupid reasons, constantly cutting me off when I’m talking.

I can be moody and throw temper tantrums. Can be passive aggressive sometimes. If you piss me off to great extents, I’ll forget what you mean to me and hurt you as much as you’ve hurt me. Terrible at confrontations. But once I calm down, I get excessively guilty and try my level best to make it up to you.

What red flags make you immediately run?

Commenting about physical aspects (weight, something different), your sense of humour is making fun of others and trying to make people feel stupid.

Whoa, a caramelldansen video? IN 2022?!

NO WAY!

What's your opinion on Andrew Davies's fixation on the Mr. Knightley-Emma age gap (through Mr. Knightley's repeated comments about holding Emma when she was a baby) vs. his apparent lack of interest in dealing with the Col. Brandon-Marianne age gap? Why does he want us to think Mr. Knightley is creepy but Brandon isn't?

Oh, anon, I'm gonna answer you and then digress terribly, forgive me, but ITV's Emma is one of my favorite Emma adaptations and it's very interesting that way (and unlike S&S 08, we have a making of book!).

The main reason, IMO, is that I don't think Andy cared about S&S as a story at all. It is true that the quality of his screenplays has decayed with time too, but this one gives me a lot of "I don't care about this" vibes. He did care more about P&P, but I think Emma was the one he had OpinionsTM on. S&S was a paycheck and as it is a novel that has a lot of leeway for adaptational choices, he just Davies-ized Brandon and Edward into his vision of idealized masculinity and called it a day.

You can tell by just watching ITV's Emma that there were things he wanted to make plain, like his interest in putting the class divide, the poor and the servants at the forefront. It's the only adaptation you can tell that Robert Martin resents Emma and doesn't forget what she did. Even if it is a couple silent shots, he's given awareness and as much agency as his position allows him.

Reading the companion book this becomes even more evident because he says a lot of things about the characters, and some of them are surprising. For example he says that Emma wants to be "the artist" and "God and move the pieces around the board" and that he pities her because she never goes far from home and ends up marrying one of the three guys she met in her life. He thinks Jane is a passionate creature repressed by circumstances (he sees a hint to this in her musical talent and preference for Italian music). But also Andy HATES Frank Churchill. I need to quote this because it's something:

"Frank Churchill is both disturbed and dangerous in my view. His mother went and died on him and his father handed him over to his aunt, who has treated him appallingly, so he really has it in for women. He plays to them. I think he's a clever, dangerous mysoginistic charmer --dangerous because he's taken the trouble to work out how girl's minds work. He treats Emma badly, but he treats Jane worse because he is terrified of Jane's power over him. He just has to be in control of the game." In the harvest fest the comment about Frank is "He will flirt with other women, he will probably make love to a lot of other women, he will parade it, he will confess, he will expect to be forgiven, he will make her life a mysery."

Make of that what you will XD

But when it comes to Knightley... his opinion of the character is overwhelmingly positive: "I thought it would be nice to think of Knightley as a person whose authority was so secure that he could roll up his sleeves and join in with the men". He writes him as someone that is kind and attentive to everyone, and the one to offer some sort of bridging to the social gap with the harvest fest: "we show Knightley as an ideal old-fashioned landowner who wanted to share and celebrate with his tenants. I hoped this would form a nice contrast with the Eltons" "The Georgians depended quite a lot on the Knightleys of this world, though few were probably as enlightened as he was." In the screenplay he's first described as "vigorous, animated, decisive". We are told that "Emma smiles most of the time he's here. He cheers her up, she likes his sense of humour and his forceful manner. But apart from that, it's an odd sort of relationship. He's a bit like a much older brother, a bit like an uncle, a bit like a godfather, a bit a father figure." But also a few scenes later his heart melts when he sees her carrying little Emma and she's presented as looking like a young mother. "He always likes to hear Emma sing and to admire her appearance". at Box Hill "he can't bear her to let herself down like this". There is no judgement in either the book or the screenplay about the age gap or the cringy exchange during the proposal scene. And the only reason I can find for that is the disturbing notion that to Andy that's spicy and kinky rather than disturbing. I'd love to hear if someone else has a better theory.

Still, there's quite a bit about this version of Knightley that I think is very clever and interesting and that has its repercusions in Emma 2009 and 2020. But that's topic for another post.

Hello dear, I hope you soon feel better 💕

38, 69, 77 please

Thank you Karo <3 you are always so kind.

38. Is your life what you expected it would be five years ago?

Wow!! Five years ago I hadn't started university, so the whole thing of having a long-term girlfriend definitely wasn't on the cards (I didn't even know I liked girls!). I've also done more and gone more places than I dared to hope - but like most of our favourite characters I was both wildly insecure and wildly overconfident at the same time, so I did always imagine great things ahead :P

BUT I was also incredibly unhappy at 18. I don't know - I kind of thought I'd simultaneously be a published author by 20 and also probably not be here at all. One or the other! So whilst the whole pandemic thing / staying in your room for two years definitely wasn't foreseeable, I think I would be surprised with how mentally well I am most of the time (or at least much, much better than I was then). I was still suffering from incredibly disordered eating / body image problems and crippling anxiety and depression. So the fact that I'm still here, still going, in love with a different language, still fighting, back on Tumblr and also still writing - 18 year old Melissa would be surprised and very proud! At 18 (get out the tiny violins) I had also never had a friend, and couldn't imagine finding people like me. God that sounds so sad!!! But now I have lots, in real life and online! And that's wonderful! And you're all wonderful! And I'm grateful every day!!!

The whole 'trying to go to Korea' thing would also not be surprising XD at this point five years ago I had just arrived in China for the first time and was always planning on teaching EFL abroad. So I think baby Melissa would be very interested to know the direction her life ended up taking, and how much this language would mean to her five years on.

Here's my time to say this to anyone who's reading: things get better. They can. Recovery isn't linear (I am Very Sad as I write this lmao; it's been a day) but it is possible. Your teenage years are not the high point of your life. Actually, for most people, they are one of the shittiest parts!!

69. Can you be in love with someone and still fall in love with someone else?

I think so!! There are people that I have liked or have wanted to kiss without minimising what I feel for my current partner. (I haven't - that's not the sort of relationship I'm in, and I would never betray her trust.) These are people that I have wanted to kiss out of curiosity and because I think it would be fun - for me that feels extremely different to anything romantic/sexual in a longstanding committed relationship, and wouldn't affect what I felt towards my partner. I think the two can definitely coexist. I would be very happy experimenting with a polyamorous relationship in theory, but in practice, I know my partner values monogamy very highly, and I value HER very highly!! So I am happy as I am :)

77. Is there comedy in all tragedy and tragedy in all comedy?

As someone with at times a somewhat sadistic/masochistic sense of humour at times, I'm inclined to say yes. Maybe it's the #trauma, but I find a lot of things funny - particularly if they are terrible things that are happening to me! HOWEVER. None of my irl friends would probably guess that that goes anywhere beyond standard schadenfreude, because I am aware of where it comes from as a coping mechanism, I'm aware that it's unhealthy, and because I keep a very tight hold on things like that. It doesn't matter how I feel about it. It's incredibly inappropriate for the people going through those things to make jokes or comments about it and treat their suffering lightly. So I don't.

Related, but since I'm talking why not keep talking: some of you who follow me on my personal/fandom blog may already know this, but I strongly believe in the relative importance of morality that we centre around actions rather than feelings. I'm neurodivergent. Yes, ADHD, but also in other ways that I'm not going to discuss because they'd probably get me bullied off the blog lmao - tumblr isn't quite as accepting as it likes to believe. Anyway. If I always measured how I thought and how I felt against other people, I'd always come away lacking. Or one would be measured in centilitres and the other in ells of rope, and the comparison wouldn't make sense at all. So it's enough to say that - for me - the choices that people make are always going to be more telling of their moral character than any thoughts or feelings which are ultimately things they can't control. So yes, I find comedy in tragedy. And no, I don't laugh.

(A more low-brow answer: have you seen Total Wipe-out? Now there's a television program that is 100% comedy. No tragedy except maybe Richard Hammond's hair.)

Thanks Karo!! Much to think about here :D

[jaskiersvalley]

🍷 🤡 🎉

:chinhands:

Kuri! My beloved! I haven't forgotten about your sweetest ask and have a half written fic hidden away in my drafts. Thank you so much for indulging me in this game while I procrastinate.

🍷 Do I drink and write? Alas, no. I very rarely drink on the whole and mostly rather than get drunk I skip straight to the headache stage. The one time I did deliberately set out with the intention of seeing whether drink affected my writing, I wrote a grand total of zero words and procrastinated more than usual.

🤡 A scene or exchange I've written that made me laugh. This would require me remembering what I've written. Most of the time I write it then promptly forget all about it. But, talking to a friend about Kylux made me remember something about clowns in that fandom which then turned my mind to the clown!Lambert post with the line "Don't fuck the clown." said by Geralt to Eskel. Only to later on in the fic say, "Fine. Fuck the clown." All I can say is that those around me are resigned to the fact I have a terrible sense of humour and they are gems for willingly suffering it.

🎉What leads me to consider a fic a success. Whether, when I finish writing it, I feel happy about it. I don't think I surprise anyone when I say that I write primarily for my own entertainment. If it makes just one other person happy or feel some kind of emotion then I'd say I have had excellent success with that piece. Given that I mostly write rarepairs, likes/reblogs/kudos/hits don't really give a good measure (not that they ever did in my opinion). That doesn't mean I'm not a slut for comments and feedback though XD I just recognise that I'm more niche than mainstream in my fandom writing so don't put much thought into numbers.

Come ask me a question!

[affableanthropologist]

69 questions ask! *rolls up sleeves* Faine: 5, 10, 17. Frosty: 5, 9, 19. Grey: 15, 17, 19. Hexie: 15, 18, 20. Pick and choose, there are many questions xD

I will answer all of these! Thanks so much, this makes me so happy. <3 My Wednesday children! Some of them I don't talk about as much, but I love them all.

Faine

5. is there something they want to be known for?

In their city, a lot of people mistrust magic users or have grievances against them. Faine wants to help repair the rift between mages and non-mages: they listen to what non-mages have to say, try to help out people in the lower-class sections of the city where they have less access to magic, and one time had the entirely genius idea to leave their weapons behind when they went to an anti-mage gathering (spoiler alert: it was a terrible idea.)

In short, they want to be known as a magic user who cares about things beyond cultivating their own power.

10. what inspired this character’s creation?

Faine took me a while. When my friend talked about running this campaign, I initially planned to play a himbo rune knight. But I wasn't really 'feeling' that as we approached session zero. So I jotted down a bunch of vague concepts I was interested in playing, and 'drow bladesinger whose family split over this new anti-magic sentiment' was the one that most strongly captured my attention. The idea that they had a child they were trying to protect and that their brother almost killed them in a duel were things I only added in session zero, when we had to invent three rumours for our characters (two true, one false.)

17. they’re crying—what did it take to make them cry?

Faine doesn't cry easily. I think seeing their daughter Lydia for the first time in a couple of years would have done it, though! They care about her more than anything. Faine wears a locket (which doubles as a periapt of wound closure) that has a little portrait of her in it, painted by Lydia's artist mother.

For maybe two years Faine remained in their home city of Oakneath while Lydia and her mother lived in the capital (where the campaign takes place.) But now they have been reunited, yay!

Frostwarden

5. is there something they want to be known for?

Being a skilled defender of the less powerful! It's what the frostwardens are all about, and Frosty really wants to live up to that name.

9. when in their life were they most scared?

When they left home to travel to Strixhaven. It was a big step going out into this big college environment full of strangers, and they weren't sure how they would be received! In some ways this scared them more than the time some of their clan was disintegrated by a beholder...social anxiety woo!!!

19. what sparks genuine, unadulterated rage in them?

People being mean to animals. >:(

Grey

15. is there something that never fails to make them laugh?

T's terrible dress sense. A couple sessions back she was wearing a pink leotard and Grey, Klav and Oz were Mean Girl judging her. There was much snickering.

17. they’re crying—what did it take to make them cry?

Grey doesn't like feeling powerless. He feels that his whole life, he's been an instrument of some entity or another, never able to make his own decisions. The one time he's cried in-game, a ghostly psychic told him that he was an "attack dog [with] broken wings", and that his life would never be his own. He cried for a long while about that.

19. what sparks genuine, unadulterated rage in them?

People abandoning or mistreating their kids. He would very much like to see Linari's parents punished for casting this vulnerable young child out on her own, and poor Green-Eyes fell through the cracks and was lost in the domains because there was nobody who cared for her! His angelic guide wanting him to kill a child was also the final straw that pushed Grey into making a bargain to break away from the justice archon.

Hexaline

15. is there something that never fails to make them laugh?

Bubbles. She finds humour and joy in how they bounce about and pop!

18. what dish brings back the best memories for them?

Not really a dish but: chocolate was the first thing she tasted after she regained her sense of taste. She was so emotional about that she cried, chocolate will forever remind her of this, and also it affected her so much that now her teeth turn into chocolate when she pulls them out to turn into eerie tokens.

20. what attracts them to someone—platonically and/or romantically, anything counts.

There's a very low bar, they really just need to be nice to her. Her whole life, her interactions with humanoids haven't extended beyond taking them to see her mothers, or the small bargains she made with them herself. The people she immediately dubbed her 'best friends' were the first people she met who were kind to her without trying to get anything out of her.

Hi!!! Can I have a matchup for Twilight and HTTYD ?

19, Southeast Asian with Spanish descent, Libra, Bi Pan and Genderfluid, short (5'1") and chubby with kinda cherubic-like face, medium brunette hair, chocolate brown eyes, oriental skin, and boyish-emo sense of fashion with korean makeup look.

Really quiet, soft spoken, distant, and timid around random people (to the point they think I'm modest, demure, immaculate, and educated) but once I finally open up it's totally opposite---super talkative, rowdy-mouthed, laughing loudly on a daily basis, creative, talented, expressive, swears like a sailor, very clumsy, witty, passionate, religious, very supportive, unfortunate, super childish, determined, thriving, speaks with sarcasms, has a lamest sense of humour, gets excited so easily, skittish, forgetful, and unashamed to be myself but can be awkward around the strangers. Nice and kind to good people, but an opposite who isn't

Opinionated and EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE, in terms of academics and extra curricular activities (even I'm a procrastinator---I still ace them like what kind of sorcery I did?) that's why I got frustrated and dissappointed quickly if I failed, because I thought people I know is pressuring me, but I tried to keep moving forward once I already cheered up.

I may come off as stubborn, feisty, tough, demanding, and harsh if I get really angry also demanding and intimidating if things aren't all right, but my deeper self is sensitive, insecure of my physical appearance (some people around me makes fun of it and it's rude), and fragile who cries easily also has strong beliefs and reasoning, like fighting for my dreams to the point it'll become a debate because of my brashness. But I'm also willing to help or give up something as long I can, they think I'm selfish, but not really---I do have biased sentimental value and I have a different way how do I care---by being supportive and giving gifts also teaching them, in addition I have an emotional overwhelm, I get flustered too quickly, blush on compliment, and melt over wholesomeness.

My interests are arts, choir, night sky, makeup, fun/deep/dumb conversations, Christianity, documentaries (about saints, real crime stories, and inspirational people), reading interesting stuffs, talking about social issues, and creative writings.

My hobbies are are singing, drawing, listening to music, chatting/browsing on social media, conceptualizing, writing, and reading some stuffs. I'll include making corniest jokes/puns, sleeping, and dancing when nobody's around or walking like a model if I feel so bold (even I'm terrible at both xD). I also used to learn Italian language a bit.

Ok I am so sorry this took me so long. I see small text and I go "oh no". But I need to stop being a sissy.

Emmett!

I feel like you and Jasper would probably be a power couple. The man has a lot of baggage but refused to dump it on you so he copes by doing fun things with you. When if comes down to beliefs... The man will also fight for your beliefs. He is 100000% ready to throw down with who ever disagrees with you. He values the time you spend with him but if you wanna be alone he will let you be alone. Please draw pictures for him he loves when you draw him pictures. I feel like this himbo can and would cheat at a game of baseball for you. Like he'd purposely miss catching a ball you hit so you can make it to a base and will tackle anyone in his family who attempts to get you out.

For HTTYD

Hiccup!

Hiccup is probably the most open minded of the men in berk. He takes what you say into consideration much better than most of the others. He doesn't understand Christianity but he will read the Bible for you and try and understand the religion. He isn't used to Monotheistic religions. Idk what to tell you. He doesn't help you train your dragon because your dragon would probably be a Razorwhip (which bond with their rider upon birth, so you kinda carted around a baby dragon on your back for a while but that's the vibe!) (You give me Razorwhip vibes I'm sorry if you don't like razor whips. Alternatively I feel like you and the light fury would get along well. Because she comes off as a strong female dragon who can and will boost yourself confidence. You 1000000% have a badass dragon.

I really hope you like this!! I have so many more match ups to complete lol

Answer Me This

AU: Soulmate

Words: 1875

Pairing: KakaYama

Warnings: None

Summary: Ever since he was young, Tenzo wandered about the mark on his chest. Now that he’s a bit older, with a lot less going on in his life to distract him, he decides to seek some answers from a trusted source.

For: My Kakayama loving followers definitely XD

Ever since he was a child Yamato had wondered about the mark on his chest. Once, when he was still young and naive, he had asked Danzo about it, hoping to find the answer he had been searching for since the first time he saw it in the mirror.

The only response he got was a gentle reminder of his job. That things such as the mark on his chest were of no importance and were best forgotten.

So he forgot about it. Focused his attention on his training and missions instead, only really remembering it during the odd time he’d see it in the mirror again. For years he was fine with that. Danzo always had more than enough work for him to do to keep his mind from wandering back to the mark, and even after he had left Root and joined Kakashi-senpai on Team Ro he was always busy.

Doing missions, training with his new team. All of it kept his mind off of the mark.

Until the day that Tsunade-sama finally pulled him out of Anbu.

I want you to lead Team Kakashi on their next mission.

Her words echoed in his mind whenever he was forced to deal with Naruto’s insubordinate attitude. Even at his worst though, Naruto wasn’t as distracting as back-to-back missions and training.

Now that he was a part of Team Kakashi, Yamato had time to think. To dwell on the things that he had ignored for years. The foods that he liked, the things he wanted to do during his time off, and the mark.

The one that kept staring at him in the mirror every morning after his shower. Sitting right over his heart.

Eight little paw prints starting at his collar bone and running all the way down to the center of his chest where a little scarecrow sat. Somewhere, deep inside of his brain, he knew the answer should be obvious. It just wasn’t coming to him for some reason, no matter how hard to search for the answer.

Now, sitting beside Gai in the training field watching as his Senpai set Naruto, Sakura, and Sai up for a spar against each other. He wondered to himself if it was alright to ask someone else.

If he was finally allowed an answer to the question he had refused to ask again for years.

“You seem like you have a lot on your mind,” Gai’s voice dragged him out of his thoughts, a bright smile greeting him when he glanced towards the older man. “What are you thinking so hard about? Surely it’s not the training Kakashi’s doing with his team. I know his methods don’t always seem the most proper, but they’re quite effective in the long run.”

Yamato couldn’t help but laugh. If there was anyone in the world who knew Kakashi’s training methods and just how interesting they could get, it was him. Years of being on the same team had introduced him to a variety of ideas Kakashi came up with to improve their skills, and not one of those ideas could be considered standard or even safe some days.

“No,” glancing towards the team, he smiled slightly. “I was actually thinking about something else. Something you might be able to help me with.” If there was anyone who could answer his question, it was Gai. Not only did he have a wealth of information, some of it from speaking to Kakashi a lot over the years, but he was also emotionally open and present. Regardless of what the question was, he’d be willing to answer it. “I was wondering...Well, when I was younger I noticed something on my chest. It’s not a scar, and I don’t think it could be considered a birthmark either, but I’m not really sure what it is.”

“Oh!” Gai’s eyes widened, a look of shock taking over his face momentarily before softening into a much more familiar smile. “You must be talking about your soulmate mark.”

“Soulmate mark?” Over the years he had heard whispers of such things. People huddling up close to show off a mark on their body to their friends and whispered guesses of who it could belong to. Never wanting to distract himself, he had left them alone to have their fun. But now that he thought about it he had always wondered if the mark could be representing someone.

As his mind started to wander, so did his eyes. Scanning towards the middle of the field, they lingered on his Senpai. Patient, kind, protective. Kakashi had been there for him since they were both kids. A small hint of light in a pitch-black world.

“It’s a mark that everyone has. A depiction of who your soulmate is in pictures or words. Something that’s supposed to give you a hint of the person you’re soul is joined to, without flat out telling you who it is,” Gai explained, his smile never leaving his face. “What does it look like? I mean, you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to, of course. I was just thinking that if you only asked about this now perhaps you haven’t put too much thought into who it could represent.” He trailed off.

“Who-” his mind started racing. Trying to figure out who was supposed to be represented by the marks on his chest. No matter how hard he tried to think, though, only one answer came to mind. “-What if...I mean, if the person who it r-represents...what if they don’t want-”

Gai’s laughter cut off the rest of his sentence. Loud enough that he could feel all of Team Kakashi’s eyes on them suddenly. The kids probably wondering what was going on, and Kakashi-senpai was no doubt already making plans to interrupt.

If he was going to show Gai the mark, he had to do it fast. Before his Senpai showed up to interrupt them.

“Here,” turning to face Gai, he unzipped his Chunin vest and lifted his shirt so that Gai could get a good look at the mark. “I don’t know what it means. I mean, I have an idea but…”

“Oh,” Gai’s eyes widened after a moment. “Yamato, this is…”

“What’s going on here?” Shoving his shirt back down, Yamato turned to glare at the silver-haired man who had just appeared at his side without any warning. “What? Surely you’re not doing anything I shouldn’t be a part of. You wouldn’t leave me out of the fun, would you Tenzo?”

“It’s none of your business, Senpai,” he huffed after turning his gaze away from the older man. “Shouldn’t you be watching over Team Kakashi’s training?”

“They’re not going to kill each other if I look away for five seconds.” Ass if on cue, Naruto went flying past them. Sakura’s voice following shortly behind with an angry threat to his health if he ever repeated his last sentence. “Ok, they might kill each other, but it’s good for training.”

Good training.

Right.

“Anyways, you were showing Gai something,” Kakashi continued as if his student hadn’t just been punched through the air. “What was it?”

“None of you busi-”

“He was showing me his soulmate mark,” The sudden weight of the world came down on Tenzo’s shoulders. Of all the people to betray him in such an important moment, he had trusted Gai. “It’s really cute. It even has a scarecrow on it.”

“A scarecrow?” Peering up at Kakashi, Tenzo huffed when he saw him raise an eyebrow. “Is that why Shisui’s crows don’t like you?”

At this moment, Tenzo really hoped Shisui didn’t come bounding out of the trees to continue a rather terrible joke. The last thing he needed was those two going back and forth trying to outdo each other in the terrible humour department. He’d be here all day if they got started.

“Can I see it?” Kakashi’s question caught him off guard. He had barely wanted to show the soulmate mark to Gai, and now Kakashi wanted to see it? The one person his heart told him to hide it away from no matter what? “Come on, Tenzo. I won’t make fun of it. I promise.”

Curling his fingers into the bottom of his uniform shirt, he sighed. “Fine,” he whispered, finally meeting the other man’s eyes again. “But if you make one joke about it I’m going to”

“-not talk to me for the rest of the month. Yeah, I know.”

Huffing, Tenzo pulled his shirt up once more and watched as both Kakashi and Gai peered at the mark there on his chest. It was a little embarrassing sitting there and being stared at like that, especially when Gai reached out to touch his skin.

“I told you it was cute. The little paw prints leading to a scarecrow. You know, it sort of make’s me think of the hounds.” Tenzo felt his stomach drop. Suddenly it all made sense. The reason he could only think of one person when Gai asked him who his mark was supposed to represent, was because it was meant to lead him to that person. His soul mate was-

“Well, I think that’s enough slacking,” Kakashi straightened himself up suddenly and turned his back to the pair. “I should go check on the team. Make sure Sakura hasn’t actually broken all of Naruto’s bones.”

And with that, he was gone. Nothing but a puff of smoke left where he had just been standing moments ago.

“I-” He tried.

“Don’t worry about it,” glancing back at Gai, Yamato opened his mouth to say something. Unfortunately, words seemed to fail him at that moment. “Kakashi’s always like this when he has to deal with emotions. I’m sure you know that as well as I do.”

Yamato couldn’t deny it. In all the years he had known Kakashi, one thing was painfully obvious. The Copy Ninja would do anything he could to avoid having to deal with emotions until they became too much for him to ignore any longer.

Still, it didn’t leave him with a good feeling.

Now that he knew what his mark was, and who it was meant to be, he was left to sort all of the emotions that came with that revelation on his own. The only thing that he could hope for, was that Kakashi wouldn’t reject him.

“He’s not leaving you behind,” Gai’s words caught him off guard, pulling his attention back to the conversation in front of him. “I know what you’re thinking. Kakashi is hard to read sometimes, and it always sucks when he shuts us out and tries to figure things out on his own.” That was certainly true. Tenzo had always wished his Senpai would open up to him a bit more. Let him help where he could. “He’ll get there, Yamato. Just give him some time.”

Some time.

He could do that. It wasn’t like they didn’t have a lot on their plates to deal with right now anyways.

“Thank you, Gai,” Giving the other man his best smile, he stared at Kakashi in the distance. Watching as he separated Sakura and Sai from a verbal argument. “I’m glad to have you as a friend.”

Oof- I love you! Ron Weasley! Yes another Weasley!

•Ron loves you, no questions asked

•He has a VERY soft spot for people who are shy when they meet new people, but are really open when they are themselves

•It’s a reward for him when he gets to see your true self.

•You may not see eye-to-eye at times but it normally ends in really good makeup sex sweet cuddles on the the couch or in bed.

•Listen, this man would follow you anywhere anytime

•Would try his ‘lame’ nose jokes on you (I don’t know if you’ve read cursed child or not)

•He loves to join you in funny dance parties/runway shows that only you two get to do probably ends in sex

•He would definitely think roleplay was just for sex until he met you:

“What do you mean ‘Do you want to roleplay?’ Isn’t that for sex?”

•Ends up loving it, but he would never admit it

•He has the Weasley family sex drive for sure, so don’t even underestimate him

•When he first started dating you he would try to be romantic by going to your house and throwing rocks at your window until you either open it or look at him through it. There’s definitely a speaker playing some cheesy song in the background

•Later he takes you to go sit somewhere in a field and watch the stars while talking about anything

•Okay, so you guys are a literal power couple, no one ever plays games with you two because you guys always win

•He is smitten with you no doubt

•He probably gets jealous of Percy when he starts trying to talk to you about documentaries, social issues in the wizarding world, and would probably try to start debates with you. Your Ron’s world, one that he wouldn’t share ever, period

•Ugh you guys are a power couple and I can not stress it enough

I hope this is good! I’m still new to shipping people lol

Lots of love, babes<3

Interview with Joey Batey about his chemistry with Henry Cavill, lutes, swords, destiny, his new album and possibly performing ‘Toss a Coin to your Witcher��� live.

Interviewer: There is obviously a chemistry between Jaskier and Geralt. Is there a chemistry between you and Henry? Did you hang out after the set, after the shooting?

Joey: No, we hated each other. It’s the rivalry to end all rivalries.

I: Really? XD

J: No, we absolutely adore each other. Last night for example we were a the London premier and I was a bit tired and I needed a break from all the chaos of everything. So I found a small room and there’s a piano in it and I just went, to calm myself down I’m trying to just play some music. And I played for about five minutes, just playing away, and I turned to my right and Henry was just sitting there, and he’d snuck in and was just listening.

I: Awww.. jhakshdas

J: And we both had this little moment where we both like.. oh yeah, like, there is something special. Which is something you really can’t manufacture or fabricate in any way. Thank God, because I turned up on my first day of rehearsals and within minutes we were laughing and joking. We have a very similar sense of humour. Yeah, we make each other laugh, which can be a bit chaotic on set.

The way Joey tells this story sounds downright romantic, haha. Got to appreciate that it was all a bit overwhelming for our cinnamon roll and Henry went looking for him and rather spend his time listening to him play the piano than out there at the celebrations, dawww! I’d kill to see that moment tbh. ♡

So Henry is a really funny person?

J: Yeah, no, he honestly really is. He tries very hard to make it all look like he’s very serious but no, he’s a total goofball, yeah.

So sometimes you made him laugh in set when he wasn’t supposed to laugh?

J: We’ve done that a few times. If I can get Henry to laugh, because I tend to improvise and add in a little, if I can get Henry to break on camera then I know I’m doing the job right. Or wrong.

Did you show him how to play your instrument, the lute?

J: GOSH, no! No nonono, wouldn’t let him NEAR it! He’d just break it with his muscles. They are very fragile instruments.

Maybe he gave you his sword?

J: No, you see, I couldn’t lift it, I don’t have the muscles to do it.

I love how the interviewer is clearly a fan and has been doing the ‘What if Jaskier tries to teach Geralt how to play the lute or Jaskier tried to pick up Geralt’s sword’-thing just like we’ve been doing. lol

You are a folk musician, you have a band, The Amazing Devil. Are you going to go on a world tour as famous Jaskier now?

J: Oh gosh, very possibly. I don’t think we’ll do a world tour. We have a new album coming out in the new year, which I actually wrote over the course of filming The Witcher, quite a lot of the songs in it, so there might be a bit of the continent weaved into this somewhere. But yeah, maybe one day and the tour will definitely start in Poland.

Oh great! So there is a change we will get to hear Toss a Coin to the Witcher live?

J: I’d need to ask Sonya Belousova and Giona Ostinelli who wrote that song if I have the rights to. In all honesty, it’s their song, it’s their talent that’s showing though that. I just did my best to turn and try to stay in tune so they are the ones who get all the credit for that.

OMG, I hope they give him permission! Can you imagine Joey performing this live at his tour?

Is it a coincidence that you already knew how to play the lute and they were looking for a guy like you?

J: I think there was..

A bit of destiny!

J: There was a bit of destiny is maybe a better word. I think it was a little bit of a coincidence. They were looking for Jaskier for quite some time and then my agents ran me and said, you play the lute, right? And I was like yeah? And so I got there, went to the audition and brought a lute along and played a little song and they seemed to like it I guess. I don’t know why, it was a terrible song.

She’s one of us. lol She also though ‘destiny!’ when she heard that he could already play the lute before the casting. Destiny indeed. And holy crap, please let there be a song about Geralt sung from Jaskier’s perspective on the new album. Can you imagine? I mean if we are not getting a proper soundtrack album Joey will just have to take care of that.. :D

Bonus of our boys hugging at the Witcher premier. <3
