Tastes of Thedas -part I-

The Dragon Age Official Cookbook Tastes of Thedas not only shares with us delicious recipes inspired in the world of Thedas, its many cultures and geography but it also tells us about Devon.

Devon is an adventurer, a Fereldan born to a cook who worked for the Cousland family.

He grew up in the kitchen, nurtured by his mum’s meals and her lectures too but always wanting more, to see the world beyond those walls and all it had to offer. And so he became an adventurer, traveling across Thedas, meeting people and learning about their culture, in particular their cuisine, taking note of everything that he now puts together in a book that is also a love letter to his mum.

The book itself looks very nice, the pictures accompanying the recipes look lovely, colours are vibrant and Devon’s introductions and mentions of various known and beloved characters are something i’d rather leave people read for themselves so i’ll just quickly go over it...in two parts, because i tricked myself with my notes and thought i could type this in one go, but nope, can’t do, “short, quick post” is not in my vocabulary, unfortunately.

Ferelden Potato and Leek Soup

Each recipe in the book comes with a short introduction where Devon shares his personal story with it, where he was, who he met, what he learned, and sometimes he mentions Thedas’ personalities so we get the chance to learn little details about them too.

Through these short texts we can get a glimpse of what version of Thedas Devon lives in: the Hero of Ferelden is a Cousland and travelled with their mabari; Ferelden is ruled by King Alistair, while Orlais is ruled by Empress Celene Valmount I, troubled by her cousin chevalier and her elven handmaid “turned spymaster and lover”. Divine Victoria is former Seeker Cassandra, and it would seem our IRL joke about Sola’s bald head resembling an egg has leaked into the world of Thedas as well but how widespread it is, if at all, or if it’s something Devon heard from people directly connected to the Inquisition that he met on his travels, i couldn’t say.

These introductions also help us learn a bit more about these places in Thedas, both familiar and soon to be, once The Veilguard takes us further north.

While Devon traveled all around known Thedas most of his recipes in this book come from the nations of Ferelden, Orlais and Antiva.

Orlesian cuisine has tons of cream, apparently they like their sweets very, very sweet. They're also known for having creamy soups.

Meanwhile Ferelden is all about the stews, stews are the pillar of Fereldan cuisine, everything can be a stew, they freaking love stews, “heartly, humble and straightforward to make – the three key aspects of any good Fereldan stew”, “a dish so ubiquitous that it’s become almost synonymous with Fereldan cuisine in general”. That and pickled eggs is their go-to cure for nearly everything.

Crow Feed

In Antiva they have a variety of ingredients that make for colorful and interesting dishes, there's olives, truffles, cream, cheese, also various dishes where rice is a key ingredient, as well as dishes that make the most of their proximity to the sea (paella, fish chowder). Of course they have wines and pasta too, with sauces and cheese! Cacio e Pepe is a classic. According to Devon the Antivans do not lack pickpockets, corrupt politicians and leather; they also tend to have multiple courses meals and says “dinner is usually a late-night affair” for them. Antiva also has some sweet treats to offer, namely Treviso energy balls made of peanut butter, oats and dried fruits, and Antivan Apple Grenades, served hot as they resemble the grenades the Antivan Crows use.

Recipes and regions covered in this post include:

From Orlais: Eggs a la Val Foret, Blancmange, Sour cherries in Cream From Ferelden: Pickled eggs, Nettle Soup, King Alistair’s Lamb and Pea Stew, Turnip and Mutton Pie, Fereldan Potato and Leek Soup From Antiva: Crow Feed, Fish chowder, Antivan Gnocchi, Antivan Paella, Cacio e Pepe, Treviso Energy Balls, Antivan Apple Grenada From the Free Marches: Roasted Turkey with Sides

Caracters mentioned include the Hero of Ferelden, Zevran Arainai, Lady Vivienne, Lady Josephine, King Alistair, Sebastian Vael, Solas, Commander Cullen, Divine Victoria, Lady Morrigan, Anders..

In part II i'll cover some from Tevinter, Nevarra, Rivain, the Anderfells and share a few more colorful details about more characters.

@axewhirl replied to your post “//literally do not mention t.arhos around me I...”:

tarhos.

​I'm pulling out my pepe silvia board, but it's fine: I honestly think the main reason Tarhos and Vittorio are so hated as characters is just because of click bait youtube videos that proclaimed he could stall out the game until the servers timed when realistically that never happened. I remember one morning playing 10 games against knights back to back and honestly he's not any worse than any other anti-loop killer in the game, I hated playing against Nemesis and Twins far more, he has very clear indications of what you're supposed to do in certain situations we can even see that in the showcase done by a beloved streamer between a top knight player and a top skull merchant player.

I also think the fact that really the only lore channel in the community called Tarhos and Vittorio's lore "boring" also played a role in it, but what is their lore really? Tarhos fundamentally is a deconstruction of the Edwardian romanticism of the renaissance that led to what we see of knights saving princesses and being generally forces of good when at most points in history knights were just glorified gangs to the point where tournaments had to be made and organized to stop them from killing people.

He is a child slave, he's not some noble man who went to go protect the holy land or save people, he's a man whose lived all his life being treated like nothing more than a dog on a leash. He is not rich. He is not pious. Even though he's been groomed into that lifestyle even he sees through the churches bullshit, to him there is no sin there is no right or wrong it's just some big mix of cosmic mud he'll never care to make sense of.

Either all of it is good or none of it is in his eyes. To him the only thing that separates him from other people is he doesn't lie to himself about what he's doing. He is hurting people not that he has or ever had a choice in the matter, he's just grown to cope in a way that he enjoys it. As we can see in his tome he talks about everything that's happened to him like it happened to someone else an example being:

""There was a village quite far from here. A small army advanced on this village on a mission, I suppose, to butcher the barbarians… to make this world a better place. Rather than be killed by a stranger or be taken as a slave these villagers had chosen to die by their own accord."

Tarhos scoops a few more maggots and tosses them into the mouth.

"I remember one mother had poisoned her family without hesitation or remorse. The love and strength of will it must have taken to do that is something I’ve yet to see in all my experiences on the battlefield and off. I have been around nobles and knights my whole life and all I’ve seen is cowardice steeped in the rotten stew of lies and hypocrisy.""

He is very clearly talking about when he was a child and his mother poisoning his family to try and avoid exactly what he's been through. On the other hand you have Vittorio, the survivor he came with, a 13th century Italian lord whose a pacifist who tried to find the fog, because he was told it was a paradise without violence or death. And debatably there could be a part of the entity like that, but that's not what either of them found.

Tarhos didn't even care about what Vittorio was doing until whatever happened over the course of the months they had been traveling together made one simple order, "Find another way", piss him off enough to kill and claim all of Vittorio's land for himself. Granted, could be entity influence after all Tarhos did carry the paradise stone out of those catacombs and it's what Vittorio's been unwittingly searching for the entire time, but Tarhos still makes a comment about how Vittorio only wants him to not be violent so he can sleep well at night.

That he doesn't deserve to hold such ideals Vittorio's entire fortune was secured with nothing but violence and stepping on others to secure such a petty need. He's a coward. The most cowardly lord he ever had served. Yet even in his tome, Tarhos doesn't hate him as much as he pretends to. Not only does he not kill Vittorio, he actively talks to him and thinks aloud telling him war stories and asking if he thinks he's mad, but especially so when other lords take notice of what Vittorio was studying.

That becomes the only reason why Tarhos is keeping him alive, because suddenly this idea of paradise is a much bigger deal than he thought. He's offered money, land, etc. to the people that want him dead, but the only thing they want is what Vittorio has on paradise. Which honestly could be the founding of the Black Veil for all we know. So of course when he gets pulled into the fog with the only 3 people he trusts he's going to see the entity as paradise.

And I can only imagine what he thinks when he sees Vittorio again.

Hey! I'm planning a trip to Italy, and I'd love some recommendations from a local <3 I'm visiting Milan, Florence, Rome and Napoli, so if you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate them. Also any tips will be welcome 😄

A trip to Pasta Land! How amazing?!

So, since in my humble opinion Italy is a country of art, architecture, Jesus on the cross, and food… I feel like you should see some obvious places, such as:

Milan: Duomo (and the surroundings), Castello Sforzesco, Pinacoteca di Brera (which is one of my favourite art museums), Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, the Navigli. Also I would suggest browsing for events/gigs that might be happening while you’re there. Milan always offers a lot of activities, it depends what attracts you the most! For me personally it’s always been art and music and I would be looking for galleries, gigs at Alcatraz, Fabrique or even bars and other small locals that host local artists 💛

Florence: ALL OF IT. Literally. I fell in love with that city, expecially the old town which is easy walkable: Santa Maria del Fiore is a must (and the surroundings), Basilica of Santa Croce, Uffizi Gallery (my absolute beloved! You might stand in the queue for a while but it’s worth all the wait), Ponte Vecchio, Pitti Palace, The Boboli Gardens… Everything a typical turistic guide tells you to see, go for it!

Rome: oof, Rome is a lot. I don’t know how many days you have in your schedule dedicated to Rome but I can tell you what I saw in one day: Vatican, Colosseo, Foro Romano, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Castel Sant’Angelo, Fontana di Trevi, Piazza di Spagna, Piazza Venezia. I walked pretty much from 6AM to 8PM with a couple of short breaks but it was worth it. Expecially strolling around the old town 💛

Naples: I’ve never been to Naples, so unfortunatelly I can’t suggest much but between Rome and Naples there is one of my favourite places I’ve studied in art school: Reggia di Caserta. It’s basically the italian Versailles.

Landmarks aside, here are some random tips and tricks:

- Ask locals for the best osteria/trattoria. TripAdvisor is kinda accurate but the locals know their shit and can spot a place that only pretends to serve great food. They will send you to a place that is actually good 😂

- Speaking of food… There’s a lot of different things you should try! Artisan gelato and granita (make sure it’s artisan and not just crushed ice with fake fruit syrup), fresh pasta al ragù/caccio e pepe/amatriciana/gricia, wine, spritz, the famous tagliere served mostly as an apetizer before the first course or to go along the aperitif, maritozzi and any kind of pastry, tortellini, pizza in Naples, etc, etc. I could go on for hours but what I’m saying here is to try as many things as you can. Also coffee. Cappuccino with cocoa or cinnamon is a must.

- If you’re gonna go to museums, gigs or any paid events, book your tickets in advance when available

- Use the subway or rent a bike instead of getting a taxi or buses if you don’t want to walk for miles

- People working in touristic places and hotels will speak english but keep in mind that a lot of locals don’t. But with a mix of simple english words, dialect, “come cazzo si dice” and plenty of gestures… you will understand them (hopefully) 😂

- Be patient with Trenitalia, if you will have to catch a train at some point. Bitches are always late and there is always a lovely stink of piss. Somewhere.

- Don’t pay attention to scammers that will most likely ask you for donations for a dying dog or a sick person that never existed. Just tell you don’t have cash on you and go away.

- Italians are loud. Brace yourself.

That’s all for now! I might edit this in the following days if anything else pops in my head 💛💫

Hope you’ll have an amazing time in Italy! Slide into my DMs or anon messages to tell me how did go 🥹

HOOOOOOOBOY Escaped you activated my trapcard (the trapcard being that im ALSO writing a big essay on MotH and I can and will talk about it with hardly any prompting, till i am blue in the face). Feel free to use this if you want i have SO MANY THOUGHTS

1) I started MotH very early in my “listening to fantasy asmr” journey, as such it was a slow roll of me thinking about its themes. It started as just another thing to listen to (my first GBA series). But I think the second I realized that Zed and Mak were the two sides of the same story I started to go off the rails. You could pull so many themes from MotH that it makes my head spin sometimes.

The most obvious to me upon starting was Love, the power of it, the turmoil of it, and the lengths to which it will make people go. Of course with a name like “Magic of the Heart” (Matters of the Heart as per one of Geeb’s tumblr ask answers) that’s fairly obvious. But to me it’s deeper than that. It’s more than just the romantic love between Makkaro and Darling, or the youthful puppy love that Zed has for the Guardian. It’s the familial love Zed still feels for his mother and family (despite what Mazul’s done), it’s Kayble and Darling’s familial relationship, which can be implied to have perhaps once been loving. The feelings the Guardian still has for Magreos and how they eventually (unhealthily) extend to Zed. It’s the delusions that Makkaro’s love for Darling makes him believe justify his crimes mixing with his anger and desire for revenge and then the strength to come back from such a dark place through the power of that same love for his wife.

Love is such a complicated thing and MotH manages to encapsulate so many complicated facets of it. Facets that most media doesnt bother to explore. The love a “God” has (or doesn’t have) for the people who worship them. In my mind Zed displays more Agape in his appeal for mercy for Makkaro than The Guardian ever does.

Literally any one of those could be a whole damn thesis. But I digress…

2) GOD the two perspectives is everything to me. I love a story that can make me reevaluate every little thing with one revelation. I started with Makkaro only (because he is best) so hoping back and listening to Zed was a revelation to me. All of the hints about what Mak’s doing and who Darling is in Zed’s early episodes pinged my brain off the walls. It was the reason I listened to season 1 of MotH so many times that I nearly had episodes memorized. The way it leads down the thread of the story without being too overbearing made me want to pull out my Pepe Sylvia board and make charts.

Not only that, but god damn, the way MotH just would not work without the duel perspectives. With only Zed, Makkaro is a mostly flat and unambiguous villain, evil to the core. With only Makkaro, the Guardian’s downward spiral and reasons for being in the story at all are lost. Together they form a complex and layered narrative of foils and character mirrors.

Makkaro and Gienne mirror The Guardian and Magreos. But The Guardian sees Magreos in everyone they meet, they are unable to escape it, or him. Zed and Makkaro act as foils to one another, while Zed and Gienne see aspects of their most beloved/beloathed siblings in each other. This kind of character work would be absolutely impossible without starting with both Zed and Mak being separate and then slowly coming together over the course of the series.

3) Honestly? I could go on about Makkaro as a whole because his character was such a delightful play and changing up of tropes that surprised me in the best way from beginning to end. But more than anything it was The endings. And I absolutely adore Geeb for it. I when I started MotH I fully expected Mak to die, or Darling to die, or both. I expected Zed to get with the Guardian eventually and the “‘villain’” (heavy air quotes there) to die, because that’s the story you expect. It’s typical, it’s what most other media would do. Never mind the fact that Zed is 19 and the Guardian is a mentally unstable demi-god, people wanted that ending. But it didnt happen.

Mak and Gienne get a happy ending. Sure it is bittersweet, but they get to live and to love one another. They get to live the ending that The Guardian and Megaros didn’t get to. It’s beautiful.

Meanwhile Zed gets something better than a partner or a girlfriend, he grows as a person. Zed’s arc is so poignant and bittersweet and amazing. His journey into coming to understand himself is 10x better than any kiss between him and the Guardian (in my humble opinion). I absolutely adore the ending of MotH BECAUSE it does something most stories wouldn’t. It makes its message about more than just romantic love, but love of friends, and love of self. And I think that’s fucking amazing.

I could go on. But I should probably save some for my essay lmfao. Im excited to see yours Escaped!

Hi guys! I'm working on my first video essay, and it's going to be an in-depth analysis of Magic of the Heart seasons one and two by Good Boy Audios. I'm still in the research stage, but I want some insight from the audience! I want to include some commentary on the impact it had on listeners of the series. I want something a little more comprehensive than what's available in the comments, and don't want to just project my personal opinions. I have a few questions!

1. Did you ponder the themes of the story as you listened? If the answer is yes, what would you say they were?

2. What did you think of the story unfolding through two separate perspectives?

3. Did the series defy or subvert your expectations at any point? If yes, what were those moments, and how did you react to the subversion of your expectations?

Answer in comments/reblogs/dms/whatever. Let me know if you're OK with me quoting your answers in the video!

Maybe Zlatan should've appeared in HT instead cause that S*cc*r movie looks strange kshshdhshsdhhsjs

Listen, it was my friend's idea, he always got us in trouble 😭 girl I was bleeding, the bucket hat was red though lmao. Thankfully didn't get a concussion or anything.

Ahhhh tbh I agree with mama Baek. Ofc I feel bad for Meghan, they way the Royals treat her and the royal suckers... the racism and misogyny jumped out. Harry was always the black sheep, so good for him for being a decent person. On one hand I enjoy they're airing the royal's dirty laundry, on the other hand they're definitely profiting off this drama and it's a bit 😬

Someone please edit Pepe dancing to Wa Da Da 🥰👌🏻 Bestie my life is a constant battle, I have many more stories. Proof I can survive without water, I'm invincible. Decaying, but still standing!

The hockey lady got a concussion 💀 yeah it looked baaaaad, like wtf

It can't be a SuJu member, I think SM isn't that stupid.......... exactly, everything about GOT is bad, except the ladies themselves. Taeyeon's promo photos?! 🙏🏻

That's my gripe with people, I don't like lipsync, but sometimes it happens so let's not lie, especially if you can clearly SEE them lips moving differently or not moving at all lol. But if Atinys on the blue bird app say the mics were on, they were on 🔫

My Way is so underrated, I'm glad it's on the setlist though I won't experience it live again anytime soon 💔💔💔💔 Promise my beloved! 3 years.... that's not right

Just pay Hwa to stand there and stare into the camera idc at this point! Hire him!

I was iffy about LSF choreography in Fearless as well, the floor work hmmmm idk about that. Their concepts are definitely a bit too mature for a minor. But Baby Monster oh no it's gonna be bad and I know it 🤡

Why would you remind me of Seonghwa showing off his hands on Showterview?!?!

Men are disappointing "dancing is harder with longer hair" bestie it's not even that long and female idols are good, suck it up! Yeosang can lift dumbbells, but some hair is stopping him, ffs 🤬 and when will San grow his hair again 😭 hopefully Seonghwa doesn't get a bowl cut or goes bald anytime soon, because that's always a slap in the face

Uhm Hoshi, Taeyong and Wooyoung should be bad shoes besties lmao. Though TY in heels? A slay if you ask me.

I HATE LOVE TRIANGLES, but this time I'm actually a bit torn... someone said the main guy looks a bit like Taehyung 😶 anyway the triangles haunt me. I saw Serena yes, my friend started reading it on a different app some time ago. I saw long haired guy and clicked so fast

I knew it'd be Tomorrow before even clicking. <3 Yesterday I actually recommended it to someone because they wanted a drama with minimum romance, lmao

Yeah I can't believe this hoery. LIVE ON TV?! Thots?

And???

Hold on what now BOXER?! And a kitty boy 😭 That was his fan sign look? 💀 also they're starting their fan signs era again, woooo can't wait to see the same bitches post photos and videos. Actually the last photos are from a shitty fansite 🔪

Camilo Headcannons / Visuals <3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

a/n: this is my first post so please be nice

fandom: encanto

pairing: camilo x y/n / reader (gen. neutral)

genres: fluff. maybe some angst. that’s it.

*if you’re over 18 click off milo is a minor <3*

• Camilo is a HUGE flirt. He’s constantly calling you nicknames like hermosa, (beautiful) princesa, (princess) corazón, (heart) amadoa, (beloved) amor (love) and cariñoa (darling) (usually with a mi in front)

• Camilo is a sucker for physical affection. Anything. Playing with each other’s hair, random hugs and kisses, or even just a small brush up against each other.

• Camilo LOVES when you get along with his family. For example, playing with Antonio- chatting with Pepe- gossiping with Dolores, etc.

• Camilo teases you about everything.

• Camilo is constantly asking you to help play tricks on people- sometimes he also tricks you

• The first time he would bring you over/introduce as his amor, everyone would FLIP. The sky’s would either be extremely sunny and clear or raining- no in between. Félix would probably tear up- and the cousins would question why it’s a big deal.

• You would probably help Milo with chores- mainly helping with babysitting. He secretly loves watching you with kids.

• He CONSTANTLY stares at you- even if you’re dating.

• If you were to flirt back with him he would be a stuttering, blushing mess.

• If you were ever cold, Milo would give you his ruana (poncho) to keep you warm.

• Random dancing. He would just take your hands and spin and whatnot.

• (angst) Camilo sometimes has little identity crisis and you have to help him realize who he is.

(Sorry if some of this is phrased weird. It’s late and I’ve been practicing Japanese all day so my brains a bit fogged up. <3)

ೃ 200-299 words per character!  (they are your bfs in this! bc MAN do i desperately want one of the genshin boys to cram school works with and shower me with luv and affection.) ♡

ೃ tags: college au, modern au, and lots of fluff. 

ೃ thank you so so much for 1k notes on my very first batch of genshin hcs! i appreciate all the luv it received and i can never thank all of you enough 🥺 i’ll be making a genshin masterlist soon to compile all of my current and future works so pls stay tuned for that!

ೃ if you want to be a part of my taglist, answer this form! ♡

ZHONGLI:

– Zhongli would be a very chill study partner. He will always keep his cool and focus, never letting his attention stray away from less trivial things. If he can focus, he’ll focus. There’s always this sense of comfort surrounding him that brightens up your mood and productivity. The both of you are sat in this long table, papers, books, and cute matching pencils are sprawled about. You lean your head on his shoulder, as he serenades you with his deep and butter voice, explaining all the formulas to you. Being able to study in peace and quiet with him is always a blissful experience. He never fails to brew you green tea (as it helps the brain function) even if that meant going down to the kitchen at 2 in the morning. He always brings a small humidifier and some essential oils with him that can help brighten up the study mood and that emits a wafting vanilla pinecone scent to keep you happy. (He’s just fancy like that.) When he doesn’t understand the concepts right away, he’d turn to you, his sharp amber eyes gazing at yours with nothing but innocent and love, and asks: “(Y/N)... what reference is this supposed to be? pepe the frog? kermit the frog? here come dat boi? aren’t they all just amphibians? what are the differences between them? I am very intrigued.”

CHILDE:

  – Childe loves a challenge. An academic challenge. He loves the thrill of finishing school works the night before the deadline, he loves studying for a pop quiz twenty minutes before the bell rings, and most importantly, he loves to pretend he doesn’t know how to solve point a to point b if that means getting to spend time with you as you tutor him on how to do so. He’s at the top of the class, He’s popular and friendly, He’s the captain of the Archery Team, and one of the vice council members of the Fatui Club. But, no other title will ever come close to being your study buddy. You and Childe always chill on the bed whenever you study. Especially when the both of you have the sudden urge to just laze around. Well, it is the wee hours of the night, so just lounging around and trying to resist the urge of sleep is pretty understandable. Sometimes, the two of you would take power naps in between study sessions. This meant cuddle times! Childe will always cuddle with you, (he’s the big spoon and you are the smol spoon) and often times you would be immersed into your textbook while he’s scrolling through his phone and looking for some of the current and popular memes. He’d poke you on the cheek and show you what he’s found. It was quite annoying sometimes and you would reprimand him for it, but it never fails to make you laugh. You jokingly suggested one time that the two of you sneak in the library after closing hours, and your chaotic boyfriend turns to you with the biggest smirk plastered on his face. “Let’s do it baby. I know the law.”

DILUC:

–You and Diluc are the cutest pair of night owls. So, studying late at night is never a problem with him because with the help of each other, the both of you are unstoppable. An actual power couple. Batman and his love interest who? I only know (Y/N) and Diluc. Mondstadt University should be giving you the title of #NoSleepGang for the “Campus Cuties” awards because the two of you are able to ace every test still despite lack of sleep.  You and Diluc are very very organized. The both of you own matching couple planners (that the both of you had gifted to each for Christmas) and have your entire study schedule planned out already. Since the two of you prefer to study at night, your dates are usually done during the day. Which meant never having to worry about the upcoming finals whilst you’re at a cute little café with him. The both of you have respective desks whenever you study together, but you never fail to gaze at your crimson-haired boyfriend with the cutest pout and biggest puppy eyes. He always gives in and next thing you know, your swivel chairs are practically glued next to each other and the both of you are cuddling in your seats. One thing that Diluc never fails to do is pamper you with comfort food or little gifts that you love after a long and tiring week of hell (aka exams) It’s such a sweet gesture and the blissful relationship that you have can’t get any better than this.

“I got you some boba and that necklace from Pandora that you’ve always wanted. I-I’m so proud of you (Y/N). You did great, my love.”

KAEYA:

- You are the Lawful Good to Kaeya’s Chaotic Evil. Kaeya is always tempted to ask for answers from your professors. He’s quite the teacher’s pet, but with good intentions. That’s just how he rolls. Every time he jokes about going to the faculty to help out and the answer sheets are just out in the open, waiting to be snatched, you always glare at at him and punch him softly on the arm, every time he tries to bring up the idea. To which he would always reply with, “I’m kidding. Just kidding my love.” You and Kaeya have amazing study hacks. He is always able to find a movie that is somewhat related to the topics that the both of you are currently studying about. For example, when the topic was an introduction to different branches of science, Kaeya chose Big Hero 6  as the “Educational Movie Of the Day.” He is always able to find something fun and informative for the both of you to watch. Well, Kaeya does find fun and interest in everything. Another effective strategy that both of you do is every time you or him get an answer right, you reward each other with either a kiss on the cheek or a bear hug. Both of these affectionate gestures give you butterflies in your stomach anyway, so it doesn’t matter which is which. With the ideas that Kaeya constantly makes up every single day of your study sessions, there’s a high chance that you’ll never fluke a test ever again.

“Oh. That’s pretty cool of you (Y/N). You got 30 correct answers! If we count everything, so I basically gave you 15 forehead kisses and 15 bear hugs. Congrats! I know we’re going to ace our finals!”

XIAO:

– Xiao is extremely intelligent and talented in a myriad of things. However, he lacks self-confidence. You’ve sworn to your boyfriend that you’d help him gain confidence in his academic abilities. Which is why you became study buddies in the first place. It served as dates with him too! Although he stubbornly refused at first, his reasons being that he can do things by himself and he doesn’t need any help. You continued to encourage him that this was going to help the both of you and it was a way for the two of you to bond, and Xiao hesistantly agreed right after. As the captain of the soccer team, “The Liyue Adepti”, The only free time that Xiao has was during the evening which is the reason for your scheduled late night studies with him. This brought so much more intimate and sweet moments with him though! It meant sleepovers with him, midnight snack runs, and casual early morning strolls in the park. It became sort of a routine. Your hand interlaced with his, the crisp morning air, the little chirpings birds, and the tranquil swaying of the trees brought so much comfort to the both of you. Xiao would be the type of student to not speak up unless he’s called. Even if he knows the answer. The both of you sit on some floor pillows whenever you would study. So, whilst you read aloud, Xiao always hugs you from behind, resting his head on your shoulder.

“I don’t deserve the patience and love you give me, (Y/N). I am eternally grateful for everything you’ve done for me. I hope you know, that I’ll always be here for you.”

ALBEDO:

- Being the university’s library assistant has it’s perks. Access to infinite knowledge, quiet solitude within the library walls, and being able to hang out with your boyfriend. It was truly a perfect deal. After classes, Albedo would be heading straight over to the library to do his work. You’d meet him there and wait until he gets his work done, and then the two of you head home together or have dinner. Albedo likes to plan things in advance. He’s quite busy, being a part of university’s alchemist group and as a library assistant, but, he will always study with you. He even brings Klee with him at times too! She’s always an energetic and cute addition, + she tattles on and on about how in love Albedo is with you and how he would never shut up about you at home. Albedo puts a lot of effort into creating review materials for the both of you. He makes very intricate drawings of modules, dioramas of certain science models, and has all the formulas memorized for him to list down. He’s a genius after all, and although you’ve constantly told him time and time again that he doesn’t have to make a review paper specifically catered to you, he still insists. He always gifts you one whenever it’s exam week (he adds extra detail to them during your finals) The cutest thing about these papers are scribbled about in all of the pages. The cutest doodles of the two of you with hearts and flowers drawn all over. Albedo + (Y/N) is even written in the last page, along with a heartfelt message: 

“I put all my faith and belief in you, (Y/N). I know you can do this. I’m proud of everything you’ve reached so far, my beloved. and I know you’ll reach greater heights. Let’s continue to excel and thrive together. I can’t wait to spend the rest of this journey with you.”

Life, For Dummies p10

a/n: ta dahhhhhhh. i want to thank my hormones and sacha’s ass for this one. enjoy!

You moved back in and went on adventures again. The careful ownership he took of you was heartwarming. He’d obviously didn’t want a repeat of the last cycle of your relationship. The Master also was oddly always at the back or forefront of your mind, like he rented real estate there. Or rather a permanent residence. You didn’t know if it was him playing mind tricks or you being a bit more soft and submissive to his actions. 

Today, after a particularly close call involving a tiny race of people on a high gravity planet he wanted to publicly humiliate then take the resources from, you got a few minor cuts and scrapes and a shallow head wound, so he had you sat on the kitchenette counter, applying bactine and a thin layer neosporin to your forehead, it was yet again so tender. His emotive eyes glittering with rage and triumph after having to eradicate them for trying to harm you, but yet so filled with angst as he swabbed a Q-tip over you, a grimace passed over his entire face when you shrunk back from the sting of the spray. 

“Pet…” he uttered, washing his hands and tucking a strand of hair behind your ears and cupping your face. “You have to be more careful.” You leaned onto his hand and closed your eyes. You let out a small but heavy breath. His hand on you and touching you in such a tender way turning you into all-too-willing putty. He took you gingerly in both hands and stroked your chin before taking your jaw and pulling you forward for a forehead kiss. 

It was a scold, but not like the usual. And you were all too willing to obey.

Obedience was getting easier. 

The further you went as a threat to the universe and a bigger bitch you were, the more tender and soft you became towards Him. Give and take, maybe, you figured. 

You enjoyed it. 

You were either feared and respected for the Threat of You, or beloved as a liberating ruler. One or the other. The Master let you choose. 

The sex was getting more avante-gard. He was playing with all the secret fetishes that you hadn’t even told him about yet- you guessed he’d deeply read your mind and made sure you had no corners he hadn’t infiltrated. 

Not that you minded.

He slightly twirled your hair and looked at you again with those eyes. Those beautiful, hypnotic eyes. 

He was really designed by some wild fertility god to turn you into a pile of mush. Everything from those feet you kneeled at, to that wild hair that tousled so effortlessly in his face. His ass was a treat to oggle as he sauntered to kill someone that pissed him off. His thighs were enough to make you want to punch a wall. He was just so damn beautiful.

You had it bad. 

“I think tonight I’ll cook you something…” He said, “Why don’t you work on your Gallifreyan work I’ve given you.” He pulled you off the counter and smacked you bottom. You smirked then conceded, “Yes, Master.” You went to the table and picked up a pencil and started drawing the circles and lines and writing what they said in your “human-ish” as the Master put it. You were learning quickly, and it was always a blast because he’d hide cheeky little slutty notes to you in between the real life knowledge. 

You shook your head and blushed as you saw, “I belong to the Master, I suck his massive horse cock.” A sardonic giggle came out of you once you finally wrote the message down.

The scent of pici cacio e pepe started to fill the room as well as an uncorked wine starting to breathe. Other scents you couldn’t name started to fill your nose. 

Like his recent dabbling into your fantasies and anything, he was an avante-garde chef as well. He liked mixing the alien with the Earthy and training your tastebuds to accept more. 

Life was always about some sort of training or learning, he told you once as you begged him to go ice skating with you at Rockefeller Center. He’d never ice skated before and you taught him. It was hilarious, the usually effervescently graceful Master flailing on ice, a scarf choking him as you pulled him off the sides of the ramp. He was so scared and when he fell, he ended up thwacking the back of his skull hard enough that a supervisor came and was extremely worried about a concussion. After a check that he definitely wasn’t, but the back of his eyes were oddly reflective in the penlight’s light. 

Just another reminder that he wasn’t human in the slightest. Despite his looks.

Soon your work was done and you moved your way over to the stove and hugged him from behind, pressing your weight as he stirred a pot. “Smells good.” You admitted and inhaled both the dish and the scent of him.

“You’ll really enjoy this!” He lifted a wooden spoon into your mouth and you eagerly took it. You didn’t know how to describe the taste besides “Yes, I need more!” You wiped a bit off your lip and sucked on it. It was great.

“Stir this, I’ll go check your work…” He ordered and went over and produced a red pen to grade you. You weren’t lying to yourself when you admitted it. Kind of like a hot professor/Daddy thing. He was so serious and he sucked on the pen and it just drove you so crazy.

You observed the sauce and worried about it for a second. 

Then he came and pressed his body onto you and breathed, “Good girl, you got it mostly correct. Maybe I’ll teach you paragraph structure next.” He took the spoon and stirred it and added a glowing pink spice into the pot. He snaked a finger down your panthem and worked a finger into your cunt as he stirred it in and blended. You moaned as he somehow managed to finger fuck you and keep tempo with the stirring. He bit into you as the timer on the stove buzzed and he shoved you aside and pulled off the pot and started to get dinner ready. 

You were put out because you didn’t cum, but soon a delicious meal was in front of you.

The food and you edging, plus the heady wine paired with both made you both languid and about ready to have an aneurysm. 

He knew what to do to get you especially needy. Your abdomen was flooded with warmth and you were sopping wet, glad you just were wearing a simple jogger set and crop top today. You kept crossing your legs and trying to focus on what you were talking about.

Dinner dragged on too long, almost like he knew what a needy greedy little whore you were becoming by the second. 

You decided to roll for initiative and make a move…

You straddled him and lightly kissed his neck and worked the way up to his lip, lightly licking and biting after each kiss. You felt him stiffen as you made it finally to said lips and pressed hard enough to feel his front teeth through your lips. Wrapping your arms around him, you kissed harder until he opened his mouth to say something, you silenced him with your tongue down and licked the top of his mouth. You let yourself scrape your lips across the firm beard hairs and prickle up your sensitivity. 

With one hand bracing on the back of the chair, you worked his clothes off slowly, grabbing and wrapping your fingers around the Master’s chest hair. His eyes were closed and the lavender of his veins in his eyes fluttered erratically. You let him pull forward and take the lead for a little bit as you grind your ass over the fabrics of both your pants. You gently tried hiking down your pants and unbuttoning his. 

His cock was rock hard and very easy to squirm your way onto. He was very accommodating as he thrust into you as you rocked gently back and forth, still pressing your lips onto the hollow of his throat as he traced a pattern on the back of your neck. You squoze your legs gently on his hips and sped up the rocking motions and started to bite him and suck on his neck, tracing your own little pattern with teeth and tongue. 

He grabbed the nape of your neck and a bit of your hair and forced you onto the table, disregarding the lovely setting he made sure was nice beforehand. He then fully took over. He forced his way deeper into you and smacked your face gently a few times before fully enclosing his lips onto yours. He was not playing lightly with the thrusts and moving slightly side to side. 

You were looking him directly in the eyes and goaded him, “Hit me again! Harder!” You laughed. 

He dipped down midway through a thrust and kissed your forehead. “As you wish, my little whore…” You shuddered as his hand stung your face. You felt a tiny corner of a nail cut your cheek, you were oddly into it. “Again!” You goaded harder, and he was an obedient Master and hit you, “My little pet…” He shook his head and pressed his weight upon you and thrusted, hitting your cervix, you felt yourself getting more turned on by the pain given. 

You were really becoming a pain loving slut, weren’t you?

“Again!” 

He grabbed your cheeks, “Ask me, ask your Master…” 

“Please...please…” You begged even though your cheeks were squished together. “Please, Master! Hit me harder!” 

“Good girl!” He purred and smacked you completely silly then kissed the oncoming bruise gently before wrapping a hand around your neck, speeding up his thrusts until he came, cock twitching inside your now throbbing hole. 

He worked on playing with your clit, flicking and rubbing gently and bringing you to a delicate, but well deserved orgasm. 

“Has my little pet enjoyed her time?” He picked you off the table and placed you onto the seat, divesting himself of what remained of his clothes as he went and got a bendy ice pack and applying it gently to your cheeks. 

“You already got hit in the face enough today.” He chided and smiled sadistically. 

“Nah, never enough, I’m tough. I can take it.” You defended yourself crossing your arms and pouting. 

He rolled his eyes and followed up, “Duly noted.” He let you have your momentary invincibility. 

“And on that note, I think it’s time for me to go to bed.” You stuck out a petulant tongue.

“Go ahead...I’ve been planning on some things for soon. Might be tomorrow if you go to bed now…” He cryptically waved you off. 

You laughed and shoved him, kissing his forehead and waltzing away.

Laying in bed that night, you wondered what the surprise was. You wracked your brain and blinked yourself asleep. 

What was that man up to?

[darrencrissarmy]

One night in the early 1970s, David Mamet sat in on a poker game played by crooks — and emerged with the idea for a play. Little did he know that American Buffalo would become a modern classic, beloved by actors and cheered by audiences around the world. This powerful and funny play of three small-time hustlers is headed to Broadway’s Circle in the Square Theatre on March 24, starring Tony Award winner Laurence Fishburne, Academy Award winner Sam Rockwell, and Emmy Award winner Darren Criss. Fishburne takes on the role of Donny, a junk shop owner in Chicago who hatches a half-baked plan to steal a valuable coin collection; Rockwell plays Teach, the volatile pal who worms his way into the operation; and Criss is Bobby, Donny’s gullible young gofer. As this all-star trio gets set to revive Mamet’s breakthrough work, directed by the playwright’s frequent collaborator Neil Pepe, they chatted with Broadway Direct about the enduring brilliance of American Buffalo.

American Buffalo has been electrifying audiences for more than 40 years. Why did you want to star in a new Broadway revival?

Laurence Fishburne: I grew up in New York City, and this play was an event when it opened on Broadway in 1977. I had been lucky enough to have worked with Robert Duvall [who played Teach] in Apocalypse Now, and the writing [in American Buffalo] made such an impression on those of us who were aspiring actors. It’s a play I’ve always wanted to do.

Sam Rockwell: It’s quintessential Mamet, with amazing language and three great parts that are very different. And it’s a tragedy — everyone has good intentions at the beginning of the play, and then it all goes kerflooey.

Darren Criss: The language is like music. It’s a kind of jazz patter that is specific to David Mamet, the ultimate three-piece rhythm section, with infinite variety and nuance. People say, “This [revival] must be a dream come true for you,” and I say, “It would be, if my imagination was big enough!”

How would you describe the three men who spend their days hanging out and talking “business” in Donny’s junk shop?

Rockwell: The simplest answer is that Donny is a hero, Teach is a villain, and Bobby is out there in the stratosphere. Teach might be a narcissist or even a sociopath, but he also seems very human, and that’s what’s delicious about playing him.

Fishburne: Donny seems to be the voice of reason. But in spite of the fact that he’s older, I think he’s just as blinded and seduced as the other two by the thought of pulling off the caper they’re plotting.

Criss: Bobby has a vulnerability that opens up the vulnerability of the other characters. On the outside, they’re these very rough people, but there is something deeper and more poignant going on inside. I think Mamet does a marvelous job of showing the fractured frailty of machismo.

What makes the play a must-see event? Why does it still feel so fresh?

Fishburne: Primarily it’s [because of] the use of language. Mamet’s writing style, as it emerged in this play, was really different rhythmically; there’s lots of space in it. It opens up all kinds of possibilities for us, and it will be very, very exciting to see how audiences respond. I’m confident that people are going to enjoy it.

Criss: To start, it’s funny. And there’s something voyeuristic about watching these three knuckleheads try to be something greater than they are. Most Broadway audiences aren’t spending time with shady characters like these.

Rockwell: People talk about the “style” of the dialogue, but I find it very real. And it’s one of those plays that is very malleable in how it is interpreted. Like all the great parts, like Hamlet or Iago, there’s a lot of flexibility, which makes it fun.

Casting is crucial in American Buffalo. What excites you most about sharing the stage with your costars in this revival?

Criss: I’ve been a massive fan of Laurence and Sam for most of my life. Sam’s work has been the template for the kind of career I would like to have, and Laurence has been such an inspiration. It’s really a full-circle experience, to get to thank them for their work by working with them.

Rockwell: Both of these guys are fantastic. Darren has done Hedwig and the Angry Inch twice, and the Versace miniseries, so he’s got chops. I’m very happy they got an experienced actor as Bobby because it’s a complex role, a James Dean sort of character. And Laurence, of course, is a great, great stage actor. I saw him in Two Trains Running — he won a Tony for that — and in Thurgood, and he was incredible. I am so excited to work with them.

Fishburne: Well, Sam is a master actor, and Darren is ridiculously talented. We’re all guys who started out just wanting to act, wanting to do the work, so we can’t wait to get underway. And Mamet is a master writer, so we’re in a really sturdy ship.

Finally, what should audiences expect when we take a seat at Circle in the Square to see the three of you in American Buffalo?

Fishburne: Oh, you should expect some fireworks, I’ll tell you that much! It’s going to feel so intimate and exciting in that unusual space. Be ready to laugh, to have a whole lot of fun, and to be moved.

Rockwell: Come ready for a roller-coaster ride: It’s funny and it’s dramatic and it’s tragic. You’ll get a little bit of everything.

Criss: You’ll get to see a great American play, by a great American playwright, starring two great American actors — I don’t include myself in that category! This is the definition of great theater, and I would hate for anyone to miss it.

20 Best Rogue & Gambit Covers (Part II)

Here’s the same stuff I said before: 

For the hottest couple in the Marvel universe, there are surprisingly few truly great (and truly hot!) Rogue & Gambit covers to be published since the characters began flirting literal decades ago.

In the run up to our BIG RELEASE of Rogue & Gambit #1 on 1/3/18…and with a all of us aching for the lettered preview to drop, I thought I’d count down the 20 best Gambit & Rogue covers.

I AM including Kris Anka’s publicly released covers for our series in the running, even though they are not yet published…because…well, because this is the FIRST EVER ROGUE & GAMBIT COMIC AND HOW COULD I NOT???

If you think I missed something…it’s possible. But it’s also possible I’m just not a fan of that cover. To each their own as they say.

Most importantly…can anything we’ve seen yet beat the most iconic Rogue & Gambit cover of all time? (C’mon, you know the one!)

Anyway, here’s to A LOT MORE Gambit & Rogue hotness in our future and onto the list! :D

And HERE’S Covers #1 - #10!

10. X-MEN LEGACY #259 - CLAY MANN. Absolutely gorgeous. Again, BIG points off for Rogue bringing another dude to the party, but this is gorgeously illustrated, has a ton of tension and heat. What Mann manages to do with just Magneto’s hand on Rogue’s shoulder and Gambit’s on Rogue’s thigh and her hands on both of theirs is...sorta awe inspiring? And the fact that she’s got her eyes locked on the reader just puts it over the top intensity wise. It’s ironic, because this loses points for including Magneto...and yet the things that make it work like gangbusters demand that Magneto be there...conundrum. I think what it really highlights is what a shame it is that we never got a hot canon Rogue & Gambit cover from Mann.

09. GAMBIT #16 - YANICK PAQUETTE. Finally THEY. ARE. KISSING. Omg. I can’t believe we had to get to #9 before we’ve got them actually kissing! AHHHH. So. This is a great illustration. Beautiful treatment of both Gambit and Rogue...I love the body language especially. And I don’t mind the minimalist red background - and it might even be intended as a call back to the red background on that iconic Rogue & Gambit cover (you know the one). The big problem with this has nothing to do with Paquette’s lovely work at all...it’s that hideous absolutely massive “storyline banner” that takes up more than a fifth of the entire cover. It honestly wrecks EVERYTHING and makes me furious tbh. 

08. ROGUE & GAMBIT #1 - KRIS ANKA. Amazing energy and movement, love the confident use of white space, and the sassy attitude they both have in body language and expression. I am also a really big fan of the title block text as it is here...BUT that’s not how the final is going to look as it will have the “Marvel Legacy” trade dress...which is fine, but not as good as this. So slight points off there. I still like the actual “Rogue & Gambit” title block itself a lot. And the “Ring of Fire” part 1 text banner is small/high/unassuming, so it’s pretty good overall! You’ll see. And yes, I’m very biased here. Fully admit that. I’m a huge fan of Kris Anka’s work, he’s my friend, and this is my book. I come with ALL THE BIAS AND AM HAPPY TO ADMIT IT. ;D

07. X-MEN LEGACY #224 - LEE BERMEJO. This is a little dark compared to what we’re used to seeing for these two in covers and a little more realistic than I tend to prefer...but I totally dig it. It’s got a ton of intensity, and the body language and expression work is awesome. They really feel almost about to kiss, which, if you’re not going to get the actual kiss, is quintessential Gambit and Rogue, right? The title block stuff is really simple and unassuming as well.

06. UNCANNY AVENGERS #5 - CARLOS PACHECO. A really nice homage to the accepted most iconic Rogue & Gambit image of all time...it doesn’t beat it, but it’s totally lovely. A gorgeous illustration that feels like that old cover, but nicely updated and its own thing. It loses points for a little bit too much text nonsense going on...and the expressions don’t QUITE work for me, plus I’ll never love Rogue with short hair ;D but all in all, a beautiful piece.

05. ULTIMATE X-MEN #53 - ANDY KUBERT. If you can believe it...this is the only other cover on the list (ever?) with an actual lip lock! Crazy. But at least it’s GORGEOUS. I really do love this one - the blue tones, the rain, the intensity, the simplicity, I just love it. It loses a few points for really dumb stuff though. I hate the blue borders with the X symbols (so dumb) and some slightly obnoxious title block/giant numbers stuff, but mostly...I just...really hate Remy’s hair? Yeah, it just doesn’t look like Gambit with that weird wavy hair. That’s honestly my biggest beef with this otherwise gorgeous piece.

04. ROGUE & GAMBIT #2 - KRIS ANKA. Admittedly this is getting a bit of a pass for not having the title block on it, but since I know about what that will look like, I think I know enough to be okay with it. And I think people will love this cover even more when they see what’s inside the issue. But based on what we have here - it gets so many points for pure fun, plus it has great energy and movement. PLUS the obvious connection/chemistry between our leads. Bonus points for Rogue’s glorious thighs. Bonus points for Gambit’s conveniently torn uniform (and hairy chest). And Bonus points for Gambit’s perfect smirk! Again, noted that I’m highly biased...and I don’t care!

*runs away, fingers in ears*

03. X-MEN 92 #2 - PEPE LARRAZ. So here’s how much I love this cover...I don’t buy print comics any more (no room!) just digital and then trades for some stuff for my shelves. But for this I went out and bought a print copy. Had to have this in my hands. I love everything about it. Well, okay, in a PERFECT world Cassandra isn’t in the background, but everything else is perfection. The swooning, the love, the drama, even the little raven with the “heart” word balloon. LOVE IT. And no surprise really because Pepe Larraz is a hell of an artist who went on to draw a spectacular Rogue (and sometimes Gambit) in Uncanny Avengers!

02. ROGUE & GAMBIT #3 - KRIS ANKA. So...there are great, beautifully illustrated covers...and then there are great, beautifully illustrated covers that are also PERFECTLY CLEVER and instantly become iconic. That’s this one for me. As if a dozen versions of Gambit and Rogue weren’t fun enough, the heart shape they make... *kisses fingers* ...it’s perfection. I wish nothing more than us not having to put ANY text on this. I wish we could just send it out as is. Alas, no. And that is gonna knock it down JUST ENOUGH to NOT unseat the iconic classic. (But maybe issue #4 or #5 will??? We still have time!) :D

01. X-MEN #24 - ANDY KUBERT. It all comes down to this, as you knew it would. The classic cover that launched a thousand ships...or rather... CEMENTED them. It’s just gorgeous. It’s perfectly 90′s. It just BATHES in the nostalgia of classic Gambit and Rogue. it’s not afraid to cover up more than half the title block (YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE, YOU DON’T NEED NO PESKY TITLE BLOCK!). That it rocks the most classic, well-known, and beloved looks for both of them only cements things further. And because they were still doing the “no touching dance” in these early days...their state of almost touching is just...PALPABLE. I’ll also say that though Rogue’s face gets the focus, Gambit is just really lovingly rendered too.

HOTT.

So. There you have it. My picks for the 20 Best Rogue & Gambit covers of all time.

Don’t forget to hit up your LCS on Wednesday 1/3/18 (or Comixology) for Rogue & Gambit #1 and keep reading to see if we (ahem, KRIS ANKA) can unseat the 20+ year title holder of “Best Rogue & Gambit Cover of All Time”

No pressure, Kris! :D
