[milucas]

what my ocs would wear on halloween

yes i know it's november now shut up /j

ajax

probably a pokemon

not like a character from pokemon just like an actual pokemon

and he's a stereotypical earth elemental so obviously he goes for grass types

he has a leafeon costume he made by hand when he was like 15 and he still wears it

other options include: lilligant, bellosom, and leavanny

however he also likes couples costumes and does have a boyfriend to do them with

so

he and percy will sometimes go as harley quinn and poison ivy

ajax is poison ivy ofc

percy

let's be honest mans is a cosplayer

and not like a casual cosplayer, like super detailed thousands of followers gets invited to conventions for free type of cosplayer

so he probably just uses halloween as an excuse to cosplay in public

everyone's like 'oo i love your costume' and he's like 'thanks but i literally do this every day'

as for who he cosplays

lots of non-human characters, like kit fisto and darth maul from star wars

or faceless characters like master chief from halo, ghostface from scream, or erik from phantom of the opera

he also cosplays deadpool bc he's my oc and i said so

so he typically pulls out one of those for halloween (if ajax hasnt convinced him to do a couples costume)

jack

i have made it clear that this man is a horror and halloween movie buff

so obviously he goes as horror characters every year

michael myers, jason vorhees, freddy krueger, fuck he's even got pennywise

however

he also has a cute boyfriend to do costumes with

and he loves the addams family

eventually emerson agrees to go with him as gomez and morticia on the one condition that jack is morticia

so jack is morticia and he pulls it off flawlessly

like he's already gorgeous but then he did a full face of glam makeup and put on a tight black dress??

HOT DAMN

and emerson,,,,, poor boy

insert cartoon heart eyes here

let's just say he quickly realizes his mistake as he sees how fucking hot his boyfriend is

emerson

he did not have a normal halloween until he moved in with david

like he knew what it was but he'd never been trick or treating and he'd never really dressed up at all

probably starts off with like,,, super basic costumes from spirit halloween

then he met jack who is literally named after the fucking pumpkin king and loves halloween more than life itself

that's when he starts to really enjoy halloween for the first time

jack would then help him with his halloween costumes and do his makeup and hair and stuff

and then the gomez/morticia costumes... we all know how that turned out

[dangergays]

i dont have smash bros so im going based purely on vibes and aesthetics

jack mains waluigi bc he enjoys chaos and purple

emerson goes for kirby bc soft pink circle jump high make brain go brrr

ajax likes peach bc he thinks shes pretty and her name is peach

percy mains pikachu bc he likes pokemon and he knows it doesn't matter bc he's losing no matter what

helo my friends

since i am constantly talking about my ocs it is now Your Turn

simple quemstion for u: who would ur character main in smash bros and Why

[mjvnivsbrvtvs]

antony and brutus, having a conversation, except I couldn’t think of any dialogue so feel free to imagine whatever makes you happy tbh

[thechurchillreview]

I saw Atomic Blonde (2017) via Redbox this morn with a roommate. Quick thoughts about it. SPOILERS obviously.

Charlize Theron trained exceptionally hard to be the titular Lorraine Broughton. This was in fact a passion project for her. Her performance is top-notch. The action sequences she's in are stunning. Brutal. Inventive. Sometimes oddly beautiful. Musician/composer Tyler Bates adds yet another impressive score to his resume! Wowzers. The songs for the soundtrack are fantastic. They accompany memorable action sequences and a couple of good quieter moments.

But...

Atomic Blonde stars Charlize Theron as a spy in 1989 from a 2012 graphic novel (The Coldest City) written by a man (Antony Johnson) with artwork by a man (Sam Hart) with a screenplay penned by a man (Kurt Johnstad) with a director that is a man (John Wick originally uncredited co-director David Leitch, Atomic Blonde is his solo directing debut, he is attached to 2018's Deadpool 2 as director). Which explains a lot. *Sighs*

Her first appearance is in a bathtub so we can observe her battered bruised body, yet it continues by having her still nude form get out to have a drink and light a cigarette while standing in front of a mirror. At first, it didn't feel salacious then towards the end of the scene it did. Later on, in the protagonist's second totally needed (coughs) ice bath, the camera perspective comes off as completely gratuitous. Her contact James Percival (James McAvoy) is shown in bed with two topless women as a blanket hides his own genitalia: it is implied that the night before is why he's running late.

And during Lorraine's mission, in a nod to my least favorite stuff from James Bond films, she has sex with a French woman named Delphine Lasalle (Sofia Boutella, Gazelle from 2014's Kingsmen: The Secret Service, Princess Ahmanet in 2017's The Mummy) to solely gain information from her. Initially, at least.

However, this part feels passionate. Real. Not a means to solely an end like Lorraine tells Delphine. That was my takeaway.

Earlier, the agent James Gascoigne that was killed appeared to have a physical relationship with Lorraine. Anyways, this indicates that Lorraine is likely bisexual! Which the movie doesn't make a big deal about and that is why it is noteworthy.  

Better than declarations from Deadpool's director Tim Miller and Ryan Reynolds that their lead is comic book accurate pansexual as his goal involves reconnecting romantically with Vanessa after securing the cure from Francis. The lyrics of his rap theme song Teamheadkick wrote heard in the flick reinforce his heterosexuality that promised to be more too. Yes, I remain livid about this. 

“Hey goons, thugs and bosses, Guess what, I brought Colossus! Times up, better count your losses, Kickin' that ass as my girlfriend watches. Run away, you know that I'll chase, Every bad guy, but 'em right in their place, Revenge, I'm gonna give you a taste, I'm sexy as hell, but I cover my face.

About to take you all to school, with guns and knives, Deadpool... Tellin' jokes and breaking the rules, I came for the tacos. Deadpool... Playin' with the ladies and the family jewels to bust a nut, Deadpool.... 'Bout to throw down with all these fools, So come an' get some. Regenerate, because it's cool, When I fall off a ledge, Deadpool... The crazy ass guards all lookin' to duel, So click, click, boom! Deadpool... I don't believe in the golden rule, I came to get laid. Deadpool... Note to the ladies, I'm not a tool, I'm a sexy motherfucker.”  2016's Deadpool was written and directed by heterosexual men. No one remotely close to the representation Wade Wilson was meant to embody was clearly involved in the movie's creation. Even though they claimed Wade Wilson would be done right this time around. 

Lorraine's spoken words of "You didn't have to kill her..." is a sentiment I too shared since, yep, Delphine, a LGBT woman of color and the only other prominent woman in the narrative, is of course killed. You took a positive and wrecked it y’all. Ugh! She manages to fight back then we’re forced to view her slowly being choked to death before Lorraine can arrive in time. It was heartrending to observe... 

Said decision is likely another James Bondian callback. How most of the women James uses tend to die. For instance, there’s the golden dead body of Pussy Galore that was on several damn movie posters for Goldfinger (1964), Sean Connery’s debut as James Bond. It is on the Wikipedia for the flipping motion picture! Contessa Teresa “Tracy” di Vicenzo (Dame Enid Diana Elizabeth Rigg), a woman Roger Moore’s 007 marries in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) is murdered in the closing moments by Blofield and Bunt. 2006′s Casino Royale starring Daniel Craig’s Bond does this infuriatingly twice: once with Solange Dimitrios (Caterina Murino) and again towards the conclusion with Vesper Lynd (Eva Green). Additionally, this specific choice to remove Delphine in Atomic Blonde through this method painfully and angrily occurs often with both women and LGBT characters in the majority of media already. 

Still, this echoes what actor Michelle Rodriguez said a few years ago about women in motion picture roles. I am paraphrasing what Michelle declared. Specifically how there needs to be more women in director and writing positions. How men emphasize making women sexy via outfits versus wearing practical clothing (Lorraine's heels, some of Lorraine's strange attire choices that wouldn’t work that well for fighting). There’s a line about what Lorraine should bloody wear to meet the Queen. As a juxtaposition, there’s a scene in the 1979 James Bond flick Moonraker in which he meets Her Majesty in the nude. *Rolls eyes* How the majority telling and orchestrating stories remain largely white men and they essentially write women as a love interest (or with someone) or they slay them during the story. There is a real imbalance in Hollywood regarding this. This has unfortunately infected Atomic Blonde.

Besides Lorraine and Delphine, there's the aforementioned topless nameless women and one other woman in the tale being told. The remainder are exclusively men. James even mocks women in one really aggravating scene that takes place! 

What makes everything worse is that we've had women in similar action film roles done more justice. Less sexualized. Glamourized. Such as Beatrix Kiddo. Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games series. Judge Cassandra Anderson from 2012's Dredd. Ellen Ripley from Alien and Aliens. Heck, even Charlize Theron's own Imperator Furiosa in 2015's Mad Max: Fury Road! To list a few examples. It is true that the films they were in had men write their characters. Although in the case of Beatrix Kiddo a.k.a The Bride, she was created by both Uma Thurman and Kill Bill Vols. 1 and 2 director/writer Quentin Tarantino.

On top of that Atomic Blonde’s pacing isn't great. I actually realized my eyes were getting heavy despite being wide awake at the start. The dialogue is functional or blase, at best (”You can’t un-fuck what’s been fucked”). Nada quote worthy. Boasts an uninteresting villain: I didn’t even include the character’s picture above because said individual is such a snore. The writing tries to be too clever at points and is ultimately confusing when all is said and done. My verdict is that Charlize Theron's transfixing acting and sterling action work alone cannot save Atomic Blonde. Neither can its presented aesthetic nor tone. 

Atomic Blonde, is worth a rental, basically. 

P.S. The soundtrack and score, as I typed earlier, are SUPERB. I don’t wish to spoil anything else about either. Give both a listen sometime.

“The waves will pull us under, Tides will bring me back to you" - “Deathbeds”, Bring Me the Horizon

You stared at your textbook, lost somewhere between atomic s-orbitals and p-orbitals. In hindsight, you cursed yourself for delaying chemistry until your junior year, but there was nothing for it now. You just needed to knuckle down and try to pass this next test. Your score on the last test still rubbed you raw, even if it ended up as a passing grade with the grading curve.

Your phone pinged with a text, and your heart leapt with excitement. But the message was only from your mother.

Hi, sweetie! Time to talk?

Normally, you welcomed any distraction from chemistry, but it wasn’t quite the message that you expected. Not that it mattered, really. You had something to tell your mother.

The call rang for two tones before she answered. “Hi, sweetie! So, this was a good time to talk, hmm?”

“Hi, mom. And yeah,” you rubbed at your forehead, “I needed a break from subatomic chemistry.”

“Ugh, I can’t even remember the names of all of those particles. Believe me, it won’t be relevant to your career unless you’re a chemist.”

“Uh, yeah – no, thanks.”

“How is the internship hunt going, by the way?”

“Fine. The business school’s hosting a job fair next month, and I’m working on my resume.”

“Be sure to mention those years that you spent as treasurer of the church’s youth council. That should impress them.”

You sighed, cheeks burning. "No self-respecting company is going to care about that.” Even though you held the title of treasurer, no one in the church actually let you handle any money or make any decisions. You simply had a basic spreadsheet that they let you call the ‘balance sheet’ and discuss during the youth council meetings when mission trips were planned.

“Aww, but you were so excited about it. Always so proud of your little spreadsheet.” Your mother giggled softly with fond memories. “We knew right away that we had a little bureaucrat in the making!”

“God, that sounds awful.”

“And you watch your mouth, young lady.” Your mother’s tone sharpened. “Just because you’re away from home is no excuse to take the Lord’s name in vain. I know that we certainly taught you better, and so did… well, up until his departure at least.”

You forced a hard swallow, leaning back in your chair and trying to keep your voice casual. “Has Father Percival improved any?”

The news of Father Antonio’s departure had devastated the parish. No one wanted to see him go. No one wanted such spiritual upheaval in their holy sanctuary. And when the news came to light that not only was he leaving the parish, but had also sought a voluntary loss of clerical state, everyone refused to believe it. Your mother had wept, and your father was one of many who sought one-on-one meetings with Antonio to try and persuade him not to break from the priesthood.

But as you now well knew, he was too far past the point of no return.

Your mother’s sigh came heavy and strained through the phone. “Father Percival… well, he just doesn’t understand the needs of our congregation. Not yet, anyway. That was the most remarkable thing about Father Antoni – I mean, Antonio. He just… he had a way with people. A genuine desire to understand, not judge; to help without reward; to… see others be the best version of themselves without thought for himself.”

A smile lit your face as fondness warmed your heart. “Yeah, he’s…,” you had to watch your words. “He’s a good man.”

“I’m not sure your father will ever forgive him, though. What sort of man just abandons his duty to God like that?”

“Well, when it’s not a right fit, it’s not a right fit.”

“The life of a priest is the highest calling there is. Once committed, there is no saying ‘oh, I’m sorry, I don’t want to do this anymore’.” Your mother sighed, obviously trying not to overwork herself. “And for Antonio to do just that… clearly, he became corrupted by some earthly temptation even if he couldn’t admit it to anyone or the church.”

If only your mother knew how that had just been the tip of the iceberg. Of course, you and Antonio had talked at length about it in the intervening years. His adjustment to life outside the priesthood hadn’t been the smoothest and still wasn’t, but even to this day, he harbored no regrets.

“Well,” you said simply, choosing your words carefully. “The world’s a small place. Maybe someday you’ll… see him again and get to ask your questions.”

“It’s all water under the bridge now. I think your father would prefer never to see the man again, quite frankly – especially considering he’s the direct reason why we wound up with Father Percival in the first place.”

“Oh, please. Even if Antonio had stayed, he could have only served a maximum of 12 years at our parish, so his time was more than half over.”

“My goodness, I didn’t realize that you knew so much about the canon laws of our parish. Have you taken an interest in theology?”

Your breath caught, and you started to sweat. Had you already tipped your hand? “Uh, no… no. I couldn’t get very far in Catholic theology, anyway, being a woman and all. I just – I remember Antonio saying something about that when he first arrived. During one of our youth group sessions, someone asked how long he planned to stay.”

“Well, that was nice of him to take the time to explain. But enough about him!” Your mother’s tone brightened. “What’s new with you?”

You shifted against your seat, suddenly nervous in the face of the moment. “Um, well….” If only your mother knew how this wasn’t exactly a change of topic. “I wanted to tell you that I’m… seeing a guy.”

“You’re… seeing a guy? As in dating? As in… a boyfriend?” She articulated the last word like she had a bad taste in her mouth.

“Yeah, as in… all of those things.”

A pause came across the line. Not that you were entirely surprised, but that’s exactly why you wanted to start this conversation now. Your parents would need time to adjust to many aspects of your relationship, and you didn’t want to just drop the bomb on them in person when you returned home for the upcoming holidays.

“Well, my goodness.” Your mother said at last. “I knew the day would come when my little girl’s heart would start to bloom into a young woman’s, but… I suppose I’m still not ready. And, how long have you been seeing this young man?”

You gulped, fortifying yourself. “Officially, almost one year. But we were friends before that.

Another pause followed, and you nervously picked at the corner of your textbook. You sighed anxiously, drawing another breath to speak. “Look, I know that I probably should have told you sooner. But I wanted to be sure how things would work out. He - he’s had a lot of recent transitions, and I didn’t want to jinx something so new by telling you-.”

“Did you even pause to consider how reckless that is?” Your mother finally said, voice tight. ”If that man had left you for dead in a ditch or worse, we would never know – we would never have had a chance to find or save you.”

“Come on, I’m not an idiot – obviously, my roommate knew that I was going out. And – seriously, if this guy had ever presented a red flag, I wouldn’t have ignored it.”

She hummed, still clearly unconvinced. “So, you’re saying that he’s a good Catholic boy?”

The bottom corner of the textbook page creased under your nails. “Well, er – mostly.” You drew a sharp breath. “In all the ways that matter, at least. He’s kind, compassionate, caring – and so honest. He’s a social worker in community outreach, and also working on a master’s degree. He wants to be a counselor someday.”

“That’s not exactly reassuring.” She remarked. “The desire of love is to give, but the desire of lust is to get – and a year is a long time. I understand how those urges can build, and if he’s not -.”

“Oh, for fu - Mom, we’ve had those conversations.” You bit your tongue, hoping she didn’t catch your almost f-bomb. “He knows my boundaries, and he’s very… respectful.” Those weren’t lies. While this whole phone call may be one giant lie by omission, you had spoken no false words. Antonio was very respectful of your boundaries and your wishes… usually fulfilling each one unless it had been an exhausting day. And even then, curling up on his sofa to hold him close and watch TV was still the best thing.

The thought tugged a smile to your face as you waited for your mother to respond.

Her perturbed sigh came across the line. “Well, I still don’t like that you waited so long to tell me. You know that your father won’t be pleased.”

“Well, that’s why I’m telling you now. I figured that you would both need some time with it before I come home over the holidays.”

“And will your supposed-gentleman be joining you?”

“No. We’re not there yet.” In truth, you couldn’t wait to wake up in Antonio’s arms on Christmas morning, but there were still so many more hurdles to jump.

“Good." Your mother didn’t hesitate. “I don’t think either of us could handle that so soon. Especially knowing that you’ve already been dating him for almost a year. My goodness, it’s just… so much to take in.”

“But someday… if things keep going well, then, who knows. Someday, you might get to meet him.”

“Your father will most certainly want a talk with him.”

You could only imagine. And you could only imagine what else the conversation would contain once your parents learned that you were dating and sleeping with your church’s former priest. It made you wonder if a special circle in hell already had your name on it, but obviously, Antonio had been willing to fall with you.

“Well,” you said at length, “like I said, we’ll see where things go.”

“And does this young man have a name?”

“Of course, he does. But… I’m going to let that stay between him and me right now.”

“Oh no,” your mother sighed in disapproval. “And here we come to it – what’s wrong with him? What are you hiding?”

“There’s nothing wrong with him, and obviously – I’m hiding his name. I just don’t want to jinx a good thing – or have either of you snooping on him via Facebook. Dad’s the absolute worst!”

“He’ll just want to make sure that you’re not dating a snake in the grass or someone who’s leading you down a primrose path.”

“Well, Dad doesn’t need to worry – and neither do you. I know where I stand with him.” You’d always known where you stood with Antonio, and hopefully you always would. No matter how much he tried to make you question your feelings for him – despite your age, despite the history, despite the inappropriate circumstances of your first time together – you knew what your heart wanted.

In a way, maybe you always had.

“Well, I’m your mother – I’ll always worry about you. But you certainly sound… happy about him. And like you’ve covered your bases well enough.”

“I have, Mom – or, rather, we have.”

Another sigh sounded in your ear. “Then, I guess that’s all I can ask for - for now, anyway. You’re not off the hook for good, young lady. We’ll want a nice, long conversation with you once you're home… and your father will push for his name.”

“I know he will. And my answer will be the same then as it is now – I will tell you when he and I are both ready to tell you.”

Your mother sighed again, a clear tell that she wanted to keep pressing the issue but thought better of it. “Well, then I suppose we’ll cross that bridge when we get there. Do take care of yourself, sweetie – we miss you so.”

“Yeah, I miss you guys, too. The holidays aren’t too far away now.”

“But fortunately far enough for us to process this bombshell news, my goodness. I’ll call you when I get ready to book your tickets home.”

“Sounds good, Mom. Love you.”

The call ended after goodbyes, and you dropped your phone to the open textbook with a long sigh.

At least it didn’t go as horrifically as you’d imagined. You had pictured your mom boarding the first flight out, banging on your door and demanding answers. But it had been time to start the conversation with your parents. It would take them time to get used to the idea of you and Antonio. And, even then, you wondered if they ever would approve. Of course, he had never acted inappropriately to you until that last afternoon in his office – when you all but begged him to.

“Holy crap.” Your roommate’s voice filtered through your closed bedroom door. “That sounded like one of the most awkward conversations.”

A smile tugged at the corner of your mouth as you pushed to your feet. “Yeah.” You opened the door and padded out to the living room, dropping beside her on the couch. “Like I said, she wasn’t happy.”

“Well, he is older.”

“I didn’t even tell her that part yet.”

“I heard.”

You groaned, reaching for a throw pillow. “Undoubtedly, I have the most-awkward, worst-ever first meeting with the parents coming up.”

“It’s sweet in its own way, though. You care about each other that much.” She continued. “That you’re willing to risk your parents’ displeasure, and that he’s willing to risk their wrath. It’s like… I don’t know – something out of those old stories where the hero and heroine are so worried about what their parents think that they’ll just elope regardless of what society says.”

“Fortunately, my parents don’t get a direct say in who I date. Or marry.”

Your roommate arched an eyebrow. “Don’t tell me that you two are already talking about marriage…?”

You shrugged a shoulder. “Not seriously right now, anyway. But it has come up, you know. He’s certainly old enough, and just went through a major upheaval… and, he wants to make sure that he’s not wasting my time or vice-versa.”

“God, how did you get so lucky?” She scoffed. “I mean – aside from the whole he’s-my-former-priest thing.” A laugh punctuated her words. “I guess you could say it really was God that brought you two together, huh?”

Neither of you had thought of it quite like that, and you were pretty sure that your parents wouldn’t either. “We’ll see. For right now, we’re happy. And when I’m not talking with my mother, it’s easy to forget about their would-be judgments.”

Your watch pinged with a text from a most familiar sender.

Come over when you’re ready

A smile broke wide on your face, and your roommate just shook her head as she spoke. “That’s him, isn’t it?

“Yep. And about damn time, too.” You abandoned the throw pillow and stood, heading for your room. “Don’t wait up.”

“Ugh, please.” She called out as you moved around your room, packing your backpack and overnight bag. “I have far better things to do while you’re off having unfairly hot sex with your unfairly handsome boyfriend.”

In no time, you found yourself walking up the stairs to Antonio’s apartment. Of course, as a gainfully employed adult he could afford a much nicer place than yours, and you always enjoyed time in his personal space. He opened the door wearing black joggers and the softest navy v-neck sweater over a gray t-shirt. His hair looked a little mussed from the day, but no less touchable as the door closed and he drew you in for a hug.

Dropping your bags on the floor, you fell into his arms and basked in the simple, reassuring contact. He always smelled of pleasant sandalwood these days, and you drew a deep inhale, letting your mouth curl to a satisfied smile. “Mmm, a much-needed hug.” You murmured against his neck, pressing a gentle kiss to his skin.

“Rough day, mi querida?” He pulled back to regard you with tender concern.

You shook your head, losing yourself in his kind eyes. “Not really. I just… talked with my mom a little bit ago.”

He arched an intrigued brow but otherwise said nothing, knowing that you would say whatever you wanted in your own time. His hand rubbed small, supportive circles against your lower back.

You sighed. “Like we talked about, I finally told her about you. Rather, the idea of you.” An embarrassed smile teased the corner of your mouth. “That her little girl is no longer a little girl.”

A flash of apprehension sparked in his eyes, but it quickly faded as he nodded. “And how did that news go over?”

“Like I thought it would – like a lead balloon.” You shook your head dismissively. “But she needs to get over it. I care about you too much to let her stand in my way.”

The corner of his mouth lifted as he raised a hand to cradle your cheek. “We both knew this wouldn’t be easy. But I still wouldn’t change a thing.”

You leaned in to meet his lips, indulging a kiss that never failed to make your heart skip a beat. A smile warmed your face as he drew back, never having felt more content with such a simple act of affection. You turned to retrieve your bags and followed him further into his apartment, dropping them just inside his bedroom.

“How does baked chicken and steamed broccoli sound?” His voice sounded from the kitchen as you moved back down the small hallway.

“Sounds pretty boring and far too healthy.”

He met your tease with a gentle smile as playful mirth glinted in his eyes. “Best to start developing those habits while we’re both young.”

You looked him up and down with a deliberate rake of your eyes. “I don’t know… you already look pretty good to me. Are you sure that you wouldn’t rather order a pizza or Chinese take-out?”

“Not tonight, my wicked temptress.” He turned for the fridge as you stepped over to the sink to wash your hands. “At least you didn’t suggest macaroni and cheese.”

“Hey, man. Now that’s a real sacrilege - dissing on mac’n cheese like that.”

He brandished a head of broccoli at you. “At the risk of sounding like a boring, old man - this is much better for you.” He lobbed the vegetable towards you in a slow arc, and you caught it with a wide grin.

“I know, I know. And don’t kid yourself - you are a boring, old man. But you’re mine, and I wouldn’t have you any other way.”

It still amazed you how easily you fell into domestic ease with Antonio. How easily the two of you moved around each other as the broccoli was chopped and the chicken seasoned. How comfortably you settled against his chest to watch TV while savory aromas grew in the air. How fluidly you each talked about your day - commiserating over the woes of chemistry, bemoaning the randomly closed lane of traffic that snarled both of your afternoon drives, awing at the adorable girl who came into his work with a stuffed rabbit easily twice her size.

And when the last dish was dry, it was just as easy for you to retire to his kitchen table with your textbook while he settled against the couch with his own master’s degree reading. The comfortable silence still struck you in random moments - especially when you glanced over at him stretched out, balancing the book on his stomach and wearing his thick-framed reading glasses.

How had you ever gotten so lucky with a man like him?

You honestly tried not to question it too much. Especially not when he turned the living room lights off, and you pulled him into his bedroom, lost to the taste of him. Not when you both fell against his bed, pressed skin to skin. And certainly not when you wrapped your body around him, moaning with abandon as he slid inside and made you whole. Nor when he moved so tenderly and deeply as to make you see stars. Nor when a tear wet your eye as you clutched him close and came blindingly hard around him.

You didn’t know for sure what love felt like… but how could it feel any different than this?

Get to Know Me

Thanks to @tryingtimi, @aninkwellofnectar, and @jezifster for the tags! This week has been busy, but today's lunch is all about tumblr babeeeey.

Rules: Answer the questions and tag nine people you want to get to know better.

Favorite Color: I can never decide whether my favorite is rose red or canary yellow.

Currently Reading: Nothing at the moment. Or, I should say that I've started quite a few books with the intent to finish them, but alas, my brain would rather putz around writing and drawing. Some of those books are House of Leaves, Mask of Mirrors, and a book on the horror genre (can't remember the name of it).

Last Song: "Blazing Anger" by Technoboys Pulcraft Green-Fund. I am currently listening to it now. It's got some Antoni Nowak vibes.

Last Series: The Legend of Vox Machina because I fell in love with Percival de Rolo. Love me an edgelord with purpose. It's okay. Not quite finished with it.

Last Movie: 2020's "Host." It isn't a great movie (actually, I prefer "Unfriended" which is the same "computer-screen horror" genre). It just happened to show up on my Amazon prime video recommends and I went "why the hell not."

Sweet/Savory/Spicy: Savory, sweet as a close second. Together? Nom nom nom nom.

Currently Working On: Doing some more in-depth research for Bird & Fish. New London is (for the most part) an amalgamation of Asian, European, and African cultures. I've been figuring out what the average joe in Midtown wears versus the average joe in Lower London, the names of certain items of dress so that I can refer to them accurately in text, etc etc.

Tagging: @happystarfishnightmare @stormbrightwriter @thethistlegirl @wingedcatgirl @theskeletonprior @jess-p-edits @athenixrose @kiaraintheforest and @italiangothicwriteblr

Onward, friends!

Hi hon you should tell me random things about your ocs if you want <333

absolutely u have found the quickest way to my heart (oc trivia) <33333

kaden makes up little jingles about random everyday items/activities. he's also really good at roller skating and skee ball since he would hang out at roller rinks a lot when he was younger

briar has nature tattoos!!! he has one on his right shoulderblade of a little bundle of lavender and thyme, and on his ankle he has a daisy with a bee

jack has a stick n poke crescent moon tattoo on his lower leg next to a made up constellation. he's also extremely competitive but only when he's playing mario games. he refuses to play super mario party anymore bc he will flip a table

emerson loves romance. whether it be rom coms or classic novels, he loves it. his favorite romance novel is pride and prejudice by jane austen. he thinks piercings are super cool but he's absolutely terrified of needles, but he eventually decided to get his ears pierced. it was really scary but he doesn't regret it, although he doesn't think he'll get any piercings or tattoos anytime soon

percy's magic is very deeply tied to his emotions, so he often sets things on fire when he's surprised. also despite being named after a knight of the round table he's never read any of the king arthur myths

ajax's favorite game is stardew valley and he always romances either sebastian or shane bc he says they both remind him of percy

[milucas]

lucas's redacted ocs- percival "percy" antonis

picrew and basic info/backstory (buckle in babes this boy has a ton more backstory than any of my other ocs)

pansexual

transmasc demiboy (he/they)

dating ajax

2nd year student at d.a.m.n.

humanborn fire elemental

he loves sports and he's on the soccer team with huxley

this boy is,,,,, emotionally stunted

his parents split when he was a toddler and both technically had custody, but because his dad wanted to move, they agreed that he would visit his dad only on holidays and for about half the summer

quick warning for religious trauma

however, his mom is a very religious christian woman

so she was not happy when they came out and when his powers were manifesting at the same time

she never technically hurt him physically, but the verbal and emotional abuse and neglect was insane

ok religious trauma talk over

when he was 13 he finally talked to his dad about how awful his mom was treating him

his dad was rightfully outraged and they went to court to fight for custody (again)

thankfully his dad got full custody of him and he moved to dahlia full time at age 14

he was still going by his dead name when he moved so he asked his dad to help him pick a new name

his dad is a massive literature nerd and a modern fantasy author so he suggested a bunch of names from classic literature and one of the names he suggested was percival, who was one of king arthur's knights of the round table

hence percival antonis was born

about 98% of the people he knows just call him percy, but his dad and ajax sometimes call him val

speaking of ajax

they met when they were 17 at an unofficial empowered persons club at their high school and were immediately best friends

and by that i mean ajax just stuck to percy like glue and percy eventually started to like ajax and opened up to him

from the moment percy started to consider ajax his friend, ajax is super supportive and helps him a lot with his emotions when he gets overwhelmed from bottling up too much

however they didn't start dating until about halfway through their first year at d.a.m.n.

but if he's being honest percy had a massive crush on ajax for a long ass time

Antony Brodeur (Father): Antony and Simon have always had a good and healthy father son relationship. When Simon moved away for college, Antony was proud but Simon knew he was sad to see him gone. After his change, Percy told him it was important to keep up appearances. He still talks to his parents and visits them whenever he can especially for major Holidays.

Bonnie Brodeur (Mother): Bonnie is an awesome and caring mother. She cares a little too much at times and can baby him. After his change, Percy told him it was important to keep up appearances. He still talks to his parents and visits them whenever he can especially for major Holidays

Sibling Names:

None

Children Names:

None

Romantic Connections:

Lilah Reddy (Late Mate): Simon met Lilah in college. She was a media communications specialist, while he was studying film. They fell in love, and at the end of school she revealed she was a Dingo shifter. He didn’t believe her at first, and was shocked when she changed for the first time. Simon reacted poorly at first and he took a few days to think about it. He was walking over to her house to tell her, when a dog attacked him. Lilah came rushing out of her house and ripped it off of him. His leg was bleeding badly and he had a hard time focusing. When Lilah began to patch him up, he heard her apologies. Another member of her pack had jumped him, and he was one of them now. It was a rough adjustment and Simon was angry at the situation. But he loved Lilah and decided to make the best of it. It took years, but they found their own happiness and had begun planning their wedding and talking about kids. One day Lilah didn’t come home, and Simon received a call. Lilah had been found dead and skinned, highly unusual for a Nimble shifter. He lost it and blacked out. Finally he awoke to Liz and Percy standing over him, while he was covered with blood. They helped up and into the car to take him home.  

Platonic Connections:

Percival “Percy” McCormick III (Leader): Simon’s never had a bad experience with Percy, but a part of him wonders how Lilah’s death could be ignored. She was hunted, and it’s like no one even cares. When he blacked out after her death Percy and Liz found him. He had gone into a frenzy and changed a few humans; switch he once vowed he would never do. He’s thought about asking if there was any way they could have the human shifters take another look, but he doubts anything would come of it.

Austin Semler (Friendly): Anton has been dragging Austin along with him whenever he’s around Simon. Austin has taken to squeezing his shoulder as a greeting and has asked Simon to join him for lunch whenever he’s free.

Milton Rod Jackman (Coworker): Milton is part of Emmanuel’s investigation team. They work together daily, and Milton is one of the people he is closest to. Milton and his wife have invited him over a few times for dinner after Lilah passed. He thinks they’re both worried that he isn’t eating, since Tara Jackman loads him up with leftovers when he goes. A part hurts when he sees their family, but he appreciates what Milton is doing.

Isla Johns (Friend): Simon initially worked under Isla at her magazine, before he transferred to WJDF. They got along well, and he was touched that she and Lee went out of their way to reach out to him. He has a feeling she was one of the people who has dropped off meals for him since Lilah’s death.

Lee Boaz (Friendly): He was surprised when Lee reached out to him after Lilah’s death. They were never that close before, but it’s left an impression on him.

Emmanuel Flores (Coworker): Simon likes Emmanuel. They both have similar change stories and Simon is his main camera man whether in the studio or out reporting. He goes out of his way to cheer him up, especially on shoots, and he’s grateful.

Anton Kowalski (New Friend): Simon finds Anton very pleasant to be around and can see him becoming a good friend of his. At first, Anton’s constant small touches freaked Simon out but he couldn’t help to find them calming and comforting. Simon was once sure that coywolves, coyotes or dingo do not get touch starved but Anton has changed his thoughts on the matter.

Monty Wilders (Friendly): Monty was the first cop on the scene of Lilah’s death. He broke the news to Simon and has tried to keep him updated on anything they find. He’s surprised a street cop is putting in so much effort, but he appreciates it.

Winston Abioye (Friendly): Winston is the lead homicide investigator on Lilah’s death. He hasn’t found any concrete connections to her killer, but suspects hunters may be involved, due to the skinning. He hasn’t given out any particular family, and Simon thinks the case has gone cold.

Random doodle I did to de-stress from some finals.

I got a lot of stuff I want to do while I'm on break just hope I can balance it all. I want to work on my DST stuff but I've also been feeling the urge to work on my original content as well. Just... Gah. So much planned and so much to do.

So yeah, Wilson shaking hands with Antoni who is an original character of mine from under development comic series, Wing Time. I have no idea when I will ever start publishing the series online but baby steps. I've had Antoni for over 4 years now and it wasn't till recently he finally started to have a solid character to him along with everyone else involved with. I really can't wait to share this story with others I just need to make time for it like I do for everything else. And with school being out soon, might be able to have that time.

Anyways, like I said, random doodle. Enjoy.

America’s Most Eligible, Perfect Match, Desire and Decorum

Hii @beaumontypython! I am sorry for answering late😒

America’s Most Eligable: who is your favourite villain?

Luther Nevrakis. I liked how he was written as an cruel king. Likewise, he wasn’t that annoying as any other villains(not all of them)

Perfect Match: have you come across anything in the book that surprised you?

Percival x Annalisa pairing. Before it became true, I had an idea for fic where Percival was dating secretly with Annalise. It surprised me when it became true.

Desire & Decorum: have you ever had a hard time choosing between LIs? Who where they? and why?

In the books such as TC&TF, OH, ACOR, MOTY, I was really struggling to choose the LI because they are all perfect. For example, in OH, my LI is Ethan. However, every time I see moments with Bryce and Rafael, I start regret that I chose Ethan. But there is something about Ethan that makes me swoon, especially his first 30 diamond scene😏.

Another book is ACOR where I can’t chose between Mark Antony and Syphax. They two are opposite and it makes them different and special.
