#rash decisions

Chapter 7 of my MHA MonoMinari fic BibliophiLe is up.

It's Monoma's birthday!

Everyone loves a birthday, right?

Only... Monoma's birthday just got a lot more complicated.

Birthdays aren't nearly as fun when you are realizing new aspects of yourself that contradict societal expectations.

Kaminari Denki is very much not what Monoma had planned for.

We have existential crisis after crisis! A villain fight that turns horribly awry! And the sweetest and saddest exchanges of "Happy Birthday" that may leave you as forlorn as I was after writing this.

Enjoy!

For Seb’s sake, we all need to be bigger than tantrums and mudslinging.

Writing WIP Wednesday (10/4 good buddy)

I wasn't going to share this week, because I feel like people are tired of Miranja - and me. But I can't help myself. I just hope that @thequeenofthewinter will forgive me for this snippet. This is a different Ulfric in a different reality. ;-) And yes, @dirty-bosmer, there's your favorite line again, haha!

Just got home from work and haven't checked my notifications yet, so I don't know who, if anyone, has tagged me yet. I'm just tagging everyone. :-D

For Chapter 19 of The Best-Laid Plans Oft Go Awry

When Miranja entered the Palace of the Kings, Ulfric and Galmar were heading into the war room. She followed, waiting for a break in their conversation so she could address Ulfric. To her surprise, he spoke to her first this time, a brief but unmistakable glint of lust in his eyes. “If it isn’t my ‘friend’ from Helgen again. You just can’t stay away from here, can you?” His curious gaze traveled down her body and back up again, surely wondering what she was wearing beneath her long wool cloak. “So, have you finally decided to join me in the fight against the Imperial dogs who nearly put you to death?”

“I’ve come hoping to join you, yes, but not in the war.” Miranja swallowed, feeling a little ridiculous now that she was here facing him. Hopefully, the worst he’d do was tell her no and laugh her out of the place.

Ulfric became irritated. “If you’re not for me, you’re against me. What are you talking about?”

Miranja glanced self-consciously at Galmar. “Could I maybe talk to you in private, please?”

Ulfric, too, glanced at Galmar for a moment, then turned back to her with a puzzled, expectant look. “Whatever you have to say, you can say it in front of Galmar.”

Oh, that wasn’t what she wanted. For a moment, she considered just leaving. Maybe she could try again some other time, when he and Galmar were not together. But when had she ever seen them apart? And she was wearing her most attractive dress and a little makeup… She gathered her courage, took a deep breath, and forged ahead, removing her cloak as she spoke, revealing her tavern dress and a large portion of her rosy flesh.

“I’m just going to come right out and say it. I’m sure you have dozens of women who throw themselves at you already, but I just want to tell you that I find you outrageously attractive and I’d just like to sleep with you if you’ll have me. Selfish, yes. But there has to be a little pleasure to break up the monotony of misery and death.”

Ulfric looked surprised and actually laughed, and she prepared to be ordered out.

“You’re absolutely right.” Ulfric smiled, and Miranja was gratified to see that lustful twinkle back in his eyes. “You have more stones than Galmar over there. And you’re a lot better looking, too.”

Galmar grumbled and voiced his misgivings. “Ulfric, this Imperial harlot may be a spy, sent to get close to you to assassinate you. Don’t let your little head think for your big one.”

Ulfric had started reaching out to touch Miranja’s hair, but he stopped at Galmar’s words and dropped his arm. “Would you like to search her first, Galmar?”

“She’s the Dragonborn,” Galmar pointed out. “She doesn’t need a weapon to kill you. You, of all people, should recognize that.”

“Ah, Galmar,” Ulfric sighed. “That is why you are my right-hand man. I bow to your counsel. But there is more than one way to have a woman. Bind her and gag her.”

Miranja had figured that going alone and without armor would make her appear less threatening, but she obviously hadn’t thought this through as well as she should have. She honestly had no intention of assassinating Ulfric – yet – but of course, they wouldn’t know that. And she’d left Erik back at the Candlehearth to wait for her, so she was on her own here.

Ulfric stepped close and held the back of her head while stuffing his handkerchief into her mouth with his other hand. Galmar roughly grabbed her arms, and a Stormcloak commander she hadn’t even noticed was in the room tied her wrists snugly with a sturdy leather strap and a clever knot. Having her arms tied behind her back forced her chest out, and Ulfric’s eyes shifted downward, but he continued to hold her still while Galmar went on to secure the handkerchief in her mouth with another leather strap stretched across her mouth and tied behind her head. He wasn’t at all careful about it; her hair was caught uncomfortably in the knot and pulled when she moved.

Now Ulfric took hold of the lock of hair he’d been reaching for, lifting it to his nostrils and smelling the lavender she always used. He leaned in closer and nuzzled her ear, sucking on the flesh of her neck. Her heartbeat quickened at his closeness, his warmth, his lips on her skin, the scent of him, masculine but not sweaty or rank.

“I prefer my women to be blonde Nords, but you’re still a comely lass,” he murmured throatily, pulling her against him so that she could feel his erection. “And just the very idea of the future High King and the Dragonborn… mmm… This will be a very pleasant diversion, even if the bards can never compose a song about it.”

I am the sum of the rash decisions I make when I’m anxious.

They went to go visit Axel after the incident, but someone's still bothered by the past.

Personal headcanon about the "you picked the wrong dellamorte" line, I don't think illario actually likes rook outside the context of them being someone close to lucanis. Like rook on their own isn't much to him, but when they meet it's yet another person talking about his cousin (why isn't he good enough for whatever job they're hiring for?) and on top of that they somehow bring him back from the dead (another whole can of worms for illario). Now he starts turning on the charm, but whether he's actually interested or this is just one more thing his cousin has that he doesn't and it gets under his skin, who knows. Either way, rook ignores illario, the guy who lives off his charm, and is instead interested in the guy who's never even dated before and thinks giving someone a knife is how to flirt. Infuriating

NO THANK YOU !! i am genuinely sorry if i have ever implied illario is into rook like i see some takes about it and unless it like ties into your rook's personal backstory i don't seriously think he's romantically jealous. at all. my enjoyment of that line stems from illario's pathological need to make it about himself and not see his strengths but what lucanis has, and therefore what he doesn't. he's annoyed enough to try and goad you in the middle of a fight about the 'wrong' dellamorte and completely blind to the fact that the venatori are at best, a stupid fucking alliance, and at worst, a cult that will devour the crows from the inside out and illario would have been the one to give them the keys. he sees lucanis make allies, needs his own, and instead of charming the other talons/houses as he should, he (probably spitefully) picks the venatori. or maybe he just thought it would be easier. ugh he makes me want to telekenetically throw him around

[vanmarkus]

It's so uncomfortable to watch but I'm actually excited about this storyline because even the people who are always making excuses for him will have to admit eventually that eddie is making conscious, awful decisions right now and he will have to deal with the consequences. There's this thing of painting buck as the silly screw-up and eddie as the level-headed smart one and it can only be good for his character growth if that stops

well tbh eddie was never the levelheaded smart one lmao

the dude ran off to the army at the first whiff of his girlfriend getting pregnant and then enlisted again without telling her and then slept with her behind his son's back and then ended up in an underground fighting club and then he bought a ridiculously expensive truck on a whim and then he put his boy best friend into his will as if they weren't most likely to go out together if shit hit the fan and he antagonised an armed murderer and then he destroyed his entire bedroom with a baseball bat and ran up a ladder without a line to try and pull a guy weighing 200+ lbs plus gear by hand and then he asked his girlfriend to move in with him and then he was hiding to avoid having sex with her before asking her to move out—

making sims for reasons..

[birdricks]

i think one of the reasons i find rick so compelling as an autistic character is that a bunch of his autistic traits are not treated as either purely good or bad but instead a mix of both. or just neutral parts of him as a person.

like on one hand his tendency to hyperfixate on things heavily contributes to his creativity and problem solving when it comes to his inventions and schemes. but he also often gets far too carried away and it ends up causing issues later down the line (eg: gotron)

like its very refreshing to see a character whose autistic traits arent … mutually exclusive. it makes him feel more real and less like a caricature

Ok I got an interview at a place that mixes custom pet food

“I don’t want my rash decision to make him unhappy.” THE EIGHTH SENSE (2023) - Episode 5 + 6.

[prettyboysdontlookatexplosions]

i always wanted to be cool about going gray but i’m not…… but in my defense i have waaaay more gray hair than literally anyone else i know in my general age bracket (unless some people are dyeing it) and it is concentrated in the spots that are most visible (a) where i part my hair when it’s real short and (b) when i pull it back when i need a haircut. considering dyeing it either black or using it as Lazy Person Fun Highlights with a fun color like a dark purple…. however also aware that i need a haircut bad enough that when i get a haircut it’s going to change my feelings about the whole situation up there significantly.

[binarisunset]

one day I’ll write some meta about how anyone characterizing Snow as calm and always having everything under control is wrong because that man is actually highly emotional and impulsive

[angnoirs]

I really hope that s6 reveals a side of Emilie that Nathalie knew before she become this loving and nurturing mother (that I have no doubt about).

I want to get to know the insane, irrational side of her who would have gone through lengths to have a child of her own. The selfish Emilie who ignored Nathalie’s warning and ignored Gabriel’s pleading.

Ok but can you imagine Emilie stealing the peacock miraculous in the dead of night from Nathalie after she informed her about the consequences of using an unsafe miraculous, after Gabriel begged her to seek a different solution if it meant the cost of her life.

Imagine Gabriel waking up to an empty bed and searching the halls, only to find Emilie. Blue. Dressed in a long gown that oddly resembles that of a peacock tail. In the basement of their home cradling her belly.

‘Emilie. What. Did. You. Do?’

She turns to him and exhales breathlessly

‘I’m pregnant….’
