Romantic Tarot Card Pairings

Tagged by @aceghosts to do this quiz!

Lorelei Capulet x Luna Pajeot

the tower + the lovers

meeting this person shook your whole world. crumbling down is everything you thought you knew about life and love. their warmth, their generosity, their naivete, their knowing...! you don't know how anything made sense before them. all you know is that nothing will make sense afterwards. deck: the tarot of the divine by yoshi yoshitani.

Basil O'Malley x Eike Breisacher

the two of cups + the star

your romance is a wish granted. finally, finally, they're here. finally, *it's* here! the time where you don't have to feel lonely anymore - you'll never feel that way ever again. laughter, joy, sweetness, kisses - be at ease. all of these are things you have found someone to share with. your love is a dreamy fantasy of love and devotion and miracles. at first, your chest gets too tight when they're around - until they become as natural as the air in your lungs. deck: ethereal visions tarot.

Rouen Blake x Zofia Bosak

the devil + the emperor

there's only one religion for the two of you, and that religion is the other. you two are very nearly unhealthily obsessed with one another, and that's just how you like it. when they touch you, they can feel the blood pumping under the surface of your skin. your hearts beat for one another. when the day comes that one stops, the other will soon after. until then, you both will live out your lives in perfect, gothy paradise. deck: the tarot of vampyres.

Helena x Geras

knight of pentacles + the magician

if there's something you want, you will GET IT. nothing escapes your fingertips. after all, you're the power couple. your pairing sparks pure cosmic energy. you're fiercely driven to your goals - whether that be status, fortune, or power. you're also fiercely protective of one another. with the knight's earthy energy, you both prefer to purposefully make your way towards your ambitions, rather than playing cards too early or acting too loosely. meanwhile, the magician's half makes gives you a little fire. if they get too close, onlookers and threats to your relationship may get burned. deck: modern witch tarot.

CHAPTER FIVE

Danny remembers when he first got Jason. And then they meet in a run down apartment.

Danny was already nervous, and he wasn’t even in the mortal world yet. He had gotten new clothes and a hair cut. Now he was standing in front of a portal that would take him to his old apartment that was in Gotham. The same apartment he first taken Jason to when he was given to him.

Danny thinks that was one of his favorite days but also the worst. He was in college walking home from his part time job. When a woman with a damn near newborn baby approached him.

________

Danny groaned as he got up from his bed. He was just about to go to bed but a knock on the door stopped him. He walked through the clean apartment to the door. He took a deep breath before he opened it and looked around. He didn’t see anyone- a baby?! He quickly bent down and checked on the kid.

He picked him up feeling the soul of the small human made him scared he was gonna hurt it. Cradling the baby to his chest he then paid attention to the letter on the ground.

‘Daniel. This is your baby. I can’t take care of him anymore. All his documents are in the bag. I’m sorry I pushed the burden to you’

Danny glanced at the black backpack before he looked at the baby.. he had his nose.. oh what bad luck. He picked up the bag and dragged it inside putting it on the table he then sat on the couch holding the baby. He couldn’t believe.. he didn’t know how to take care of a child. He could barely take care of himself! He didn’t make barely enough money to take care of both of them. Especially a baby.

Oh but he was now forced to care for him. And he would do a damn good job if he had any say.

______________

Jason had looked into the Fenton family also. It was bizarre stuff. The site looked to be completely abandoned everything was unedited since 2016. All dates were old and pictures never updated. So he looked up individual people.

Jack Fenton, Jason hummed when he noticed he had the same middle name as his first, he was a big burley man the skipped leg day often. He had the.. same white hair by his nape as his dad. Blue eyes like him. He had died in 2016 in some freak accident in his home.

Madeline Fenton a lady who had many PHDs and seemed like a great mother. Her hair ginger and eyes purple? Jason didn’t know peoples eyes could be purple. She had records of being in martial arts and had her guns licenses. She had also died with her husband in 2016 in the same freak accident.

Jazmine Fenton a girl who looked like her mother. All As in high school and was on the road of being a therapist. She was accepted into college and planned to go before he died in the accident along with her parents.

The last one, was Daniel Fenton. He was- Jason stopped when he saw the screen. He expected the son to be dead dying in the accident. But he had a missing persons case.. that had a picture of a very similar man. The same man with a scar. Jason figured out who his father was. And he was gonna figure out everything he could.. starting with going to his apartment. It was an abandoned building left to rot due to mold and unkept problems.

_______

Danny looked around his old place. His stuff was still here.. he knew the building was going to be destroyed so he thought he would’ve appeared in old alleyway or something. Not have a trip in memory lane.

The pictures of him and Jason still hung on the wall. The hole that was made by Jason when he threw a baseball at him. The messy living room that was never cleaned up because he left as soon as he dropped Jason off. He stepped around the toys as he stopped in front of the door that had an old paper pinned to it.

It had the faded words of ‘JASONS RUOM. Sta out dad! IL throw the bal at u agin!’ With stars and rocket ships decorating the sides. Danny smiled at the memories of Jason’s sounding out the words on the table. He walked through the door not risking ruining anything by actually opening the door. He teared up at the room. The old books still on the bookshelf and the bed still unmade. The teddy bear on the bed tucked in on the other side. The room a mess with toys and glow in the dark stars that fell off the ceiling.

Danny shoot up hearing the sound of the front door opening. He turned invisible not risking being caught this early on the mortal realm. He would leave immediately but.. he could feel the ectoplasm in the air. It was similar to his.. could it be Jason?

______

Stepping into the apartment was weird to Jason. He could feel the memories in there but he couldn’t remember them. He closed the door behind him looking around. He reached up and took off his helmet. This was Jason’s moment not Red Hoods. Setting the helmet on the table he glanced at the pictures on the wall. Stepping to them picking it off the wall and looking at the picture.

It was him.. and his dad holding him up under his arms holding him up to reach a book. Grabbing the next picture it was of his Dad with a bunch toilet paper wrapped around him and Jason in a doctor getup wrapping more around him. He set the pictures on the wall swallowing the lump in his throat as he moved to the living room glancing at the papers and crayons on the table.

He took a deep breath as he stopped in the doorway. The apartment was small but it was well lived in. The layer of dust on everything made it worse. He could imagine before it was left to dust.. how it would look. How he would run in and his father closing the door behind him. How he would watch TV hoping his father wouldn’t notice his bedtime had passed.

He’s eyes looked at the toys on the ground a story he would never know in each place spot. Maybe the stuffed dinosaur was a doctor in his childhood mind or even an evil he had to defeat. Maybe his dad played with him and that was his Dino he force him to play with. He would never know.. he ignored the tears appearing in his eyes. He walks to his door if the paper was to go by. Before he went in he looked over to the door next to it. He went and opened it. It was another bedroom his father’s. The layer of dust was suffocating.

The forgotten remains of his past. The bed was made and seemed thin. The stopped in front of the desk.. it had bills on it. Eviction notices.. he would have never guessed.. with all the toys. He bit his lip in an effort to stop the attention to his feelings. Focus on the pain. He walked around the bed. A picture of him and his Dad smiling at the camera. He’s eyes looked left the room before he started crying in the middle of the ghost of his dad.

A shaky breath and a hand over his mouth he walked into his old room resolving that he would cry when he went in. But he stopped as he looked at a man. The same man that was in the pictures. The man would looked so strong in the pictures next to a kid Jason yet so much smaller and frail now next to him. He felt to big. To much.

They looked at each other one in shock and tears falling from his eyes. The other looking at him in guilt but all the same with the tears falling from his eyes.

“I’m sorry..” The voice broke the silence with a startling start. That was Jason’s dad. He was here in his old room. The voice that was smooth. Less echoey than before. He had questions about so much. His father was right there to answer them.

Hi, Jelly 😘 What about Levi and reader as adoptive parents? Let's say they adopt a little girl from an orphanage. It would be interesting to see moments in their lives: they took her from the orphanage, they bring their daughter home for the first time, her first birthday in a new house, she calls them mom and dad for the first time)))

I changed this a little bit to fit with Levi a little more, hope that's okay.

Hope for Clover

Levi x fem!reader

Future AU, soldier Levi, Captain Levi, married couple, fluff, romance, adoption.

When a major battle on another planet finally comes to an end, Levi returns home to you after being away for two weeks. As the soldiers return to their homes, Levi goes back to the planet you live on together with a new addition to the family. Clover is a little girl now orphaned that Levi saved. The two of you discuss what to do with the sweet three-year-old and decide to become her parents.

The vids were praising the legion galactic army for facing off against a race of beings that wanted to consume the whole of the galaxy. Multiple races banded together with the humans for freedom. The last stand against them was on a planet near the edge of the galaxy and it seemed like everyone won.

It made you happy beyond words to know that the galaxy was safe once again and your husband would be coming home. You used to be a soldier and had incredible tech skills. You met Levi by being assigned to his ship while he went on special missions. One thing led to another and you ended up becoming lovers, then married.

After you got hurt badly during the galactic war, Levi urged you to take a step back, so you did and your job was to help them from a distance. Levi and you had even moved to a planet known for its pure beauty and to help those recovering from wounds. It was full of rolling purple hills, blue flowers, two bright moons and suns, vast lakes and beaches. It was heaven for you and Levi.

As the shuttle arrived with your husband, you felt a knot in your stomach as you wondered what condition he was in. He always told you everything was fine and then would come back with scars, so you could never predict how he would be. The last two weeks were the hardest of all the battles, so something had to have happened.

Your heart hammered in your chest as you stood with only a few others waiting for the arrival of the soldiers. You watched as the other men got off first and people parted leaving you alone and no husband. You panicked a bit but another shuttle landed, this had to be your husband but you weren't sure why he had special treatment, he never liked that.

Your eyes widened when Levi stepped out with a little three-year-old girl on his hip. "Levi?"

He walked closer allowing you to see the little girl had a robotic leg, she'd clearly lost her leg in the war. "Hey." He leaned over and kissed you passionately. "I missed you."

"I missed you too." You smiled at the green-eyed little girl with thick ginger hair, she was a vision. "Who is this princess?"

The girl giggled. "I'm not a princess."

"Really? How odd because you look like one."

Levi grinned. "This is Clover. I...I saved her...she...she's alone." He looked at you with sad eyes. "I...I was hoping..."

You took Clover from Levi and hugged her. "Do you want to live with me and Levi?"

She nodded. "Please!"

You hummed a laugh. "Wonderful. Well, let's get you inside and well-fed." You placed her on her feet. "Let's go."

Levi placed his hand on your lower back. "Thank you."

You kissed Levi's cheek. "She's an orphan, we want kids and she needs us. She's ours now."

"Yes, she's ours." He smiled softly. "I still want more kids."

You giggled. "We'll make one of our own someday, but for now we have a wonderful daughter to care for!"

Clover had adored her new home and it flustered her that Levi and you bought her so much and gave her a big room. She had a lot of toys to play with and you both were gentle with her, so she knew she could do things at her own pace.

Levi would take her to the doctor once a week to make sure her robotic leg was working well and taking to her body. The two of you would teach her things and play with her often, but she was still very shy when it came to you. She was close with Levi because they'd seen war together, but you were new to her.

You worried that she wouldn't like you and didn't want you as a mother, but Levi told you how much Clover loved you. He told you Clover always asked him to tell her stories about you, to show her pictures of you and to tell her all about the things you liked. Clover wanted to get very close to you, she was just very shy.

After learning from Levi about Clover's adoration for you, you began noticing how she would peep at you, spy around corners, watch you as you moved around and look out for you when she was with Levi. It was adorable how she was with you and you would always say hello and often she'd stay with you, but sometimes she'd blush and run off to a new spot to spy on you.

One day you were sat in the garden working on a gadget to assist you with your fruit growing. You were humming a little song to yourself when your soldier training kicked in, you could sense Clover was close. So, you pretended not to notice, like she was a cute little kitty.

Clover shuffled closer to you, her cheeks pink with a blush and a rabbit plushie in her arms. She peered over your shoulder to look at what you were doing. "Mm...what you doing?"

You smiled softly. "I am making a little device to help me look after my fruit."

She walked around and stared. "Fruit?"

You nodded. "I'm growing all kinds of fruit from different planets. I also grow veg too." You looked up at her. "This device will be placed in the ground and it'll project a grid. Anything inside the grid will be monitored and I'll be updated on if they're ready to harvest or if they become sick."

She crouched and looked at the device. "Coooool." She looked up at you and gave you a toothy grin. "You're smart! I want to be smart like you."

"Well, I can teach you a few things. I used to do a lot of tech for the Legion Galactic Army."

She sat down. "Wow."

You felt your cheeks heat up. "I used to do a lot for Levi and his crew. I was the reason their suits kept them safe, their weapons protected them and the ship stayed flying."

Her eyes sparkled in delight. "Wooooow." She stared at your right hand and arm to see it was robotic like hers. "Umm..."

You wiggled your fingers at her. "Lost this in the war, but Levi saved me. He saved us both it seems." You smiled as she touched your hand. "We match."

She grinned. "We're twins!"

"That's right."

She crawled over and sat on your lap. "I like you." She hugged you tightly. "You're so pretty and cool."

You hugged her back. "Have you been trying to be with me like this since you arrived here three weeks ago?"

She nodded shyly. "Yes."

You kissed the top of her head. "You're so sweet. I'm here for you, always."

Clover had been with you and Levi for a few months now, she was very comfortable with the two of you. She would help you both out and always want to be around you. She would follow you around the most, which warmed Levi's heart that she'd taken to you so much.

Today was her birthday and you'd planned everything for her to ensure she had everything she wanted. This was probably the first one she would remember. So, you and Levi wanted to make it extra special.

You helped Clover change into a cute dress for the day before helping her comb her thick hair. "There we go."

Clover grinned. "Thank you." She reached up and held your hand. "Ready."

You walked with her into the living room to see Levi had finished the last touches. "Happy Birthday, Clover."

Clover gasped when she saw all the decorations, the balloons, banners, hologram animals and bunny-themed things everywhere. She released your hand and hurried forward to see the presents waiting for her, a big cake you had baked and Levi wearing an outfit that matched Clover and you.

Tears filled Clover's eyes. "Mm..."

Levi knelt down. "Happy Birthday, kiddo."

She ran over and jumped into his arms. "Thank you."

He hugged her tightly. "I can't believe you're five! You're growing up so fast."

She sniffed and ran over to you. "Mummy! Hug!"

You dropped to your knees as the wind was knocked out of you. You hugged her as you felt your heart race. "Wh...what...did you call me?"

She pulled back and kissed your cheek. "Thank you, Mummy. I love you."

You smiled brightly through your tears. "I love you too, sweetie."

Clover smiled at Levi. "Thank you, Daddy! I love you."

Levi shuffled over and hugged you both. "You're very welcome. We love you so much."

She released you both and smiled. "Do I get a birthday wish?"

"Of course."

You nodded. "What do you wish for?"

She giggled. "To be a big sister!"

Both you and Levi looked at each other, your cheeks heating up. As Clover ran to open her presents, you and Levi started thinking about her cute wish. As you watched her open her presents, the two of you held hands and cuddled up to each other.

Clover hurried back over to you both and lifted her bunny. "I also want to gift this to the baby." She lowered it. "Mummy, Daddy? Will you make a baby?"

Levi tugged you closer. "I think a nice big family would be good."

You giggled. "Me too."

Tintin fic recs

This list will include all ratings and tags, so read at your own discretion! :)

The Crab with the Mechanical Claws by WinryWeiss - Rated M

"The Adventures of Tintin" steampunk reimagining. When a famous engineer goes missing, a former navy captain stumbles upon a can full of opium and a young freelance journalist receives a mysterious parcel, an adventure like no other starts to unwind.

Tintin and the Secret of Mermaid Island by Caro_Dee - Rated G

Tintin and Captain Haddock are after the rest of Red Rackham's treasure. It doesn’t quite go as they expected.

fireside haikus by requin_renard - Rated G

Holiday plans go awry. Tintin finds himself on watch duty and turns to literary pursuits to pass the time.

just a little oneshot outlining their friendship and haddock is in roasting dad mode.

boy's best friend is worth the rubble by kivancalcite - Rated T

Written for a month's anniversary of being on this site and being the 7th fic I've published on the 7th day of January. Tintin gets too wrapped up in a mystery in a broken down house, and has to be dragged out before it completely collapses. That's of course if Snowy hadn't been trapped, and Tintin makes the decision to run in after him at his own expense. Rather him than his beloved dog, after all.

A Place Like This by AngieOwlie - Rated G

When Mrs Finch the local orphanage caretaker delivers a pleasant tuft-haired little boy to Marlinspike Hall (“Just until the orphanage is safe again and the suspect who ransacked the place is caught!”), the master of the house reluctantly agrees to look after him. But between keeping the boy out of trouble and out of his beard, he slowly realizes that perhaps the most difficult task of all is really in keeping the tuft of ginger out of his heart. In other words - Captain Haddock gets into all sorts of bumbling mishaps while looking after child!Tintin.

aroace, not your place by kivancalcite - Rated G

Little bit of a self-projection piece, I headcanon Tintin as someone on the ace and aro spectrum, and someone who'd deal with the usual questions as a result. References certain events of the film and demonstrates the ginger reporter coming to more of an understanding over his lack of interest, attraction and desire in the areas of certain affection from others, especially when he eventually bumps into the captain at a life-changing point on the ship known as the Karaboudjan.

growing pains by requin_renard - Not Rated

In which Tintin somewhat loses himself and Haddock gains a son. "He spent nearly three days crouching in that plastic chair, watching the other’s small chest moving up and down. Willing it to keep rising and falling like the world depends on it. Haddock realises that in fact, his world did depend on it."

Wound by kay_cricketed - Rated T

As he recovers from his kidnapping at the hands of a no-name jewelry thief, Tintin realizes that not every story is one he will walk away from unscathed. The harder lesson yet: there is now someone he can lean on when walking isn't an option.

Under the Roof of Marlinspike Hall by twilighteve - Rated G

“He supposed he had always known, but amidst the adventures they had, it slipped his mind. Now, though, the fact that Tintin was so very young rammed into him viciously. How old was he, exactly? He couldn’t be older than twenty.” In which Haddock somehow became Tintin’s caretaker before he even realized it.

what's fiery red, pale white, dark blue and purple? by PUNK_MENACE - Rated T

It's nothing they're not used to. Bruises and cuts are just a hazard of the job. Some days are harder than others but with Nestor's breakfast, everything seems a little better.

Small Blessings by SolarMorrigan - Rated G

After all these years, Tintin still manages to surprise Haddock- even when he's not trying

[enigma-absolute]

What is Eddsworld about?

3 British idiots (and occasionally an additional Norwegian one) have silly misadventures in a long-running animated webshow. There’s been zombies and clones to fight, movies to make and even a trip down to hell AND Atlantis. It’s a bit of a wacky show.

To make a short story long, Eddsworld was made initially in 2003 by Edd Gould, and featured him and his friends as the main characters. Over the years after Gould passing from leukaemia in 2012, the show, show crew and fandom has seen some rocky times (I could make a tome of lore about all this but NO THANKS), but is still a fond spot in many people’s hearts - including mine. Without coming across it in late February 2013, I genuinely wouldn’t have a foundation for my current art style and the push to pursue my passions in animation.

That and if you come into Eddsworld fandom (not recommended if you go into the main body, just find a few folks and stick with them), be expected to draw a LOT of hoodies and develop an annoying (affectionate) habit of making puns.

So who are the three British idiots anyway? Keep in mind: while they were initially based off IRL Edd and his friends, they’re not the same as them and are seperate things. It’s seen as VERY disrespectful to keep using IRL surnames for the characters, so we often substitute our own made-up or similar-sounding ones.

Edd: Head of the trio, brown hair, green hoodie. Looks like the most normal. Is not, really. The artistic one and pun-maker. Loves cola to a fault, to a point where in canon, his future self went back in time to kill his past self because cola got banned globally. (And it’s the highest ranked Eddsworld episode and the one with the most views.)

Edd is my personal favourite character and I will fight on the hill for him to have a good Edd-centric story that isn’t about shipping him with the other lads or as an angst punching bag. He doesn’t even get enough fanart as the title character of his own show! Let my boy have PEACE AND A FUN TIME FOR ONCE.

Tom: Blue hoodie, spiky hair, weird eyes. The grumpy ‘voice of reason’, but he is also not immune to the Shenanigans. Often the alcoholic, but less so in canon. Has a beloved monster form since it was seen in the eddisode PowerEdd. If you’re asking why his eyes are Like That, we don’t have a concrete answer either. Are they voids? Portals to other things? Just black? Who knows? (The void though is my favourite bc it’s funny.)

Tom is one of the more popular characters of the fandom, and I can see why! However, as an Edd girlie myself, I will admit that it has been a bit TOO much to see over the years. Him and the Norwegian character, but that’s another story.

Matt: Ginger, purple hoodie and green overcoat. Highly narcissistic, with (and I quote the theme song here) ‘the intelligence of a kitchen shelf.’ Can often be found admiring himself in mirrors. Surprisingly has the highest body count of all his friends from over the episodes. Was at one point, a vampire from a Halloween special - that has still carried through into many fanon designs of him. And he was also leader of a zombie army too.

I remember a time when Matt wasn’t so popular as Tom and the Norwegian one, but now he’s just very shipped with the rest of his mates and given plenty of fanart as he likes. And good for him! Now at this point you'd expect me to talk about the Norwegian.

And you know what? No.

I respect him, I can enjoy him as a character and part of the unit with the boys, I can enjoy some takes on the concepts his latter days brought to the table, but overall? I would like to see him Goncharov'd OUT of relevancy.

That character has done too much damage on the fandom, tbh. The days in the fandom where he was basically nonexistent were peaceful. The final episodes of the Eddsworld Legacy season were a flashpoint (derogatory) and while it did unearth old (metaphorical) cursed relics from under the surface, I'm becoming more convinced by the year that he and his last two episodes have done MORE harm than good - stretching even into now!

I'd rather be careful to talk about him. And we don't make any mention of the person he was inspired by, just for the sake of the IRL man to be LEFT ALONE. As should most of the others and their families who played these characters.

Speaking of these kinds of things: A warning.

As for the more recent episodes in the Eddsworld Beyond season: tread with caution. From the first proper episode, people from the crew have been kicked off for genuinely serious reasons that are too dark to explain here and discourse has been rife about the current showrunners.

If you decide to take a look at what had happened - take everything with a grain of salt and come to your own conclusions. The bias can be easy to fall into one group or another so I strongly don't recommend to go looking for it. If you're here for a fun time, do NOT go near the discourse. Especially on tumblr.

So, rant aside, I'll stop myself here. If you want some recommendations on where to begin on Eddisodes:

The Zombeh Attack Trilogy (yes it's spelled like this on purpose): The lads encounter zombies. Not all of them will survive.

Ruined: The lads investigate an egyptian temple.

Spares: The lads get cloned by an evil director. Who is also an idiot.

Hello Hellhole: The boys go to hell. For a vacation.

Moving Targets: The boys join the army.

The Zanta Claws Trilogy: The lads encounter and fight against a Zombie Santa Claus. Shenanigans ensue.

Matt Sucks: Halloween special in which Matt is bitten by a vampire.

Moviemakers: The lads make a movie.

WTFuture: Edd and his friends are chased after his murderous future self. Fan favourite, and if you only watch ONE Eddisode, I HIGHLY recommend this!

Hammer and Fail (Parts One AND Two): The lads try to renovate due to Matt's kleptomaniac tendencies. (Also the introduction to fan-favourite side characters.)

Space Face (Parts One AND Two): The last of Edd Gould's work and animation before his passing and the start of the Legacy season. The lads get abducted by aliens.

Hide and Seek (minisode): Matt tries to play the titular game.

Fun Dead: The lads go to a zombie-infested theme park.

Mirror Mirror (minisode): We meet the genderbend version of the lads and spend the time with the girls, Ell, Tamara and Matilda! (I've also lost count how many times I've cosplayed as Ell. Best girl, you can't change my mind.)

PowerEdd: Edd gets superpowers and has a rivalry with his neighbour.

Saloonatics: The radically different art style and some of the story was quite divisive among fans upon release, but has now become a beloved cult classic. A spiritual sequel to WTFuture, we go back in time and encounter 'ancestor' characters of the lads in the wild west.

Surf and Turf (Part One): (Shh part two is currently in production) The lads go to the beach. What could go wrong?

Should be all I can wholeheartedly recommend to a first-time viewer. If you decide to take the plunge, good luck!

tag nine people you'd like to know better

I. favourite colours: black, blue and silver used to be it, but these days I'm more over shades of green, purple and more colorful stuff in general? I think turquoise is my current favorite.

II. favourite flavours: warm spices! I love cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves. I also really enjoy paprika on the savory side of things, which made living in the Netherlands easier for me, haha.

III. favourite genres: pretty open question here - but I really enjoy sci-fi and fantasy for mostly everything (videogames, movies, books, shows) while my music style is mostly rock-based but with so many crazy pop varieties.

IV. favourite music: my favorite bands are all Japanese (GLAY, LUNA SEA and BUCK-TICK are my top 3, and I'm still processing the loss of Sakurai Atsushi, really). But a look at my Spotify wrapped will tell you that I can listen to mostly everything, particularly if ship-inspired. Some artists I've been listening to a lot lately have been Gabriel o Pensador and Gloria Groove.

V. favourite movies: Pirates of the Caribbean: the Curse of the Black Pearl.

VI. favourite series: Star Trek (TNG and SNW are my favorites!), Doctor Who, Community, Penny Dreadful (the original one with Eva Green), Brooklyn 99, The Good Place.

VII. last song: 'Até Quando?', by Gabriel o Pensador.

VIII. last series: 'The Continental'. Wanted more lore than fighting scenes but it still made me write up an entire verse, haha.

IX. last movie: 'Saltburn' - I watched it with Dawn aka my bestie and we had very similar reactions to it. Very pretty aesthetic-wise, weird (lazy?) choices for plots and often uncomfortable to sit through.

X. currently reading: nothing that is not work-related, I really should pick up this hobby again as I used to.

XI. currently watching: I am currently obsessed over 'Beef' - I started it because of Ali Wong but damn. Daaaaamn. This show is like an incredibly well-directed trainwreck and I'm hooked, not gonna lie.

XII. currently working on: new routines, mostly exercising! I really want to be healthier in this next year.

tagged by: @drippingheart (although the tags did make this post vanish for a while, hehe~) tagging: instead of tagging nine people I'm just going to pester a few mutuals who have been online lately such as @hisroyalmagnificence . @desiccation . @lnsknndy . @holyguardian . @cybrvce & you!

This Week’s Horrible-Scopes

It’s time for this week’s Horrible-Scopes! So for those of you that know your Astrological Signs, cool! If not, just pick one, roll a D12, or just make it up as you go along. It really doesn’t matter. Better yet! Check out “Heart of the Game, Fredonia” - they can sell you those D12’s with the symbols on them! Get in contact with them on Facebook, shipping to the U.S. only, and tell them “Shujin Tribble” sentcha. “Hail, Hail, Fredonia!” Home of the Blue Devil!

Being firmly into October means there’s a lot going on, some you likely might not be aware of. And since we’re getting closer and closer to Spooky-Season, let’s help you plan out your holiday events and maybe a costume theme. So take a visit to both Spirit Halloween and your local grocery store, ‘cause there’s... Uhm... "Reasons"?

Aries 

First off, you’ll want to have a get together with Cancer and their planned-out costume, so listen carefully. As much as you adore “Pumpkin Spice”, it’s nothing special. Just combine ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice and you can have your specialty latte any time of the year. Hell, mix some and put it in a little portable dispenser and add it to your store-bought coffee just to shake things up. So This Week… Just get a Caffe Latte for a buck less and add your own dusting to it. Or better yet just make your own at home for a change.

Taurus 

You knew it was Breast Cancer Awareness Month and you’ve seen the “Save the TaTas” bumper stickers, but that sentiment is reductionist at best. Do you have breasts? Well congratulations, you need to be aware of the possibility in yourself - Yes even you guys! Just because you don’t have MOOBS doesn’t mean you can’t develop breast cancer. So This Week… forgo whatever it is you do in the shower that takes so long and inspect your chest carefully once in a while. Remember, the breasts you save might just be your own!  

Gemini 

We’re sending this one out to a special person, but it’s not playing favorites; that comes up later. There is an autumn celebration of peace, observed within some Native American families, called "nanomónestôtse" (pronounced NAH-noh-MAH-nay-STOHT-say), which means "peace" in the Cheyenne language. It’s a beautiful time for it - the coolness is arriving in the evenings and mornings, the wildlife is more active during these times, and you can just sit out there with some corn and maybe feed them. So This Week… Set up a camera to take pictures every few seconds and after a day make a movie of all the images. Just watch the day go by and enjoy what the world shows you.

Cancer Moon-Child 

Like we said before, you’re needing to coordinate your time with Ares for this one, because we’re suggesting your Halloween Costume. It’ll take a little work on your part but we think you can make a great version of a Care Bear, specifically “Mister Coffee Bear”. Imagine it! With a little help you can make a brewing system wrapped around your body, hidden under the fluffy costume, and dispense coffee from a spigot in your belly button! So This Week… If you need creamer and sugar you can carry a Care Bears Lunchbox and stuff it with packets of each. You’re gunna be a hit with the 20’s and 50’s crowds!

Leo 

You’ll need this Halloween Costume, but you’ll likely need to build it yourself. You’ve seen the inflatable ones where you look like you’re riding a T-Rex, but it’s your legs out the bottom and doll legs in a saddle? Well try this one on for size… the T-Rex is Purple and you wear a blond wig, a saber toothed tiger pelt over your shoulder as your only clothing, and keep looking for your friend Fred. So This Week… That’s right! You’re Barney Rubble riding Barney the Dinosaur! (*SingSong*) They’ll Love You! 

Virgo 

Your birthday’s already come and gone, but there’s still another one coming up! Yes it’s confusing, but this is half of the “Special Treatment” and “Playing Favorites” listings this week. So This Week… You didn’t get enough gifts for your birthday, so host a get together with your friends and make a good dinner for everyone. Why? Because you already have the greatest gift of all! No, not “friends” - People who trust you enough to not poison them with your cooking! What are you, NEW here?! 

Libra

Most of you won’t get this, but… HAPPY THIRD BIRTHDAY, Kinda Virgo-Libra! Just because it’s “only” a birthday of convenience doesn’t mean it’s not worth celebrating. And yes, this one is TOTALLY an abuse of power on our part, but HEY! What’s the point of having power if you DON’T abuse it once in a while? So This Week… Seriously, Happy Birthday! Couldn’t be happier to wish it to you, even long distance like this. Celebrate with a six-pack of Cannoli!

Scorpio 

Sorry, but you’re getting a second-hand Horrible-Scope topic. Doesn’t mean it’s not super cool, though. You’re going to need to do some serious investigative work to combine Food Prep and Día de los Muertos and make consumable Sugar Skulls to give out for Halloween! Yeah, giving out handmade food to strangers isn’t a great idea, but how cool would it be to be a kid, get an egg-sized skull to bite into, and some kind of apple caramel drips out? So This Week… we’re not sure where you should start looking for how to make such a thing. But we can safely say building them with your Dremel Drill is a BAD idea!

Sagittarius 

Just because you’re older doesn’t mean you can’t dress up as one of your favorite and inspirational characters. How many versions of Princess Leia can you name, ‘cause we’re betting that you’re not going to come up with the BEST version for your costume. So This Week… The BEST version is the Princess who absolutely ROASTED George Lucas for telling her that there was no underwear in Outer Space! Get that middle finger prepped for use, drink your water, take your medicine, get your sleep, and make sure Space Mom is proud of you! 

Capricorn 

Since it’s National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, let’s tell you about someone who didn’t want to keep a puppy. Poor guy brought it back to the shelter for chewing on everything and the lady at the desk just laid into him, LOUDLY berating him for wanting to ditch his baby for acting like a baby! And the best part - The Best Part? The vet who came to the front to see what the commotion was just stood in the door way, waiting for a break, then when there was just turns around and left, saying, “Oh, SHE’S not done with you, yet.” AND SHE WASN’T! So This Week… You do NOT adopt a puppy and run out on it. Maybe consider adopting an older Good Boy so they have a good rest of their life. If there’s no heaven, then they deserve to have one before they leave us - and you can provide it.

Aquarius 

HAPPY Thanksgiving Day! Since you got this one it means you’re up Canada Way and what a great chance to get family back together with you for turkey and lasagna and pie and wine. Don’t worry how long you need to keep the bird in the oven for - when you’ve got a Deep Fryer! That’s right! In under an hour you can have the Holy Grail of Turkey Treats! So This Week… Make sure your propane tank is mostly full and with no cracks in it. And buy a spare fire extinguisher! 

Pisces  

Your Halloween costume is one people said could never be done - but we believe in your skills in costuming and programming tech. You’re going to be the One and ONLY “Batman Beyond”! Look, not just ANYONE can be Bruce Wayne’s Batman - you need to have a special CHIN to make it work. But pull on a full-body blackout suit and no one needs to know what your chin looks like. So This Week… Make sure all your electronics have properly installed double-fuses to keep yourself safe. OR ELSE!

And THOSE are your Horrible-Scopes for this week! Remember if you liked what you got, we’re obviously not working hard enough at these. BUT! If you want a better or nastier one for your own sign or someone else’s, all you need to do to bribe me is just Let Me Know - or check out the Ko-Fi page ( https://ko-fi.com/icarusthelunarguard )! These will be posted online at the end of each week via Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, Discord, and BLUESKY.

“ Are ye alright ?”

Eike felt her partner's hand touch hers and their fingers intertwine. She makes an effort to sit up, Bunny reaches for her back to help her up. “ Am not  supposed t’be here-'' The Scot continues in a hushed voice, “-the bastards said I wasn’t supposed tae leave my room…” 

Their eyes flicker toward the door, a scowl taking over their features. It’s Eike who brings them back when she smiles. “ They have no idea who they were talking to,” She whispers. Her free hand finds her hair, pushes it back behind her ear, then the side of her head. The pads of her fingers linger on the bandage and her smile slowly fades into blankness. “ Bunny? How long was I asleep? How-” She stops before she can break down, blinking to try and keep the tear from falling. A few manage to slip from the corners of her eyes and the ginger gives up.

“ Today marks a week,” Bunny tells her. They wipe Eike’s cheeks with their thumb, their hand cradles her cheek.“ It’s not bad-Sage an’ Ah aren’t in bad shape Ah mean. Nothing worth keeping us here for a fuckin’ week. Ah think they plan on taking us to the Council when-” They shut their mouth. The Scot looks up at the ceiling to keep themself from shedding any tears as well, their dark irises glittering in the artificial light. 

Eike attempting to sit catches their attention, causing them to put their hands on her shoulders. “ No’ a good idea, Shortcake,' they warn her. '' Lara's still in recovery-Ah know where she’s being kept, it’s just hard to go to her without one of th’nurses stopping me.” 

“ So she is-she’s alive right? The doctors and-and everyone helped her?” Eike manages. She swallows when the images of her best friend having her throat slit assault her memory: the large knife the hunters used, how they threw Lara down and beat her, when they stabbed her first and cursed her existence, then they picked her up by a fistful of her hair…

“ She’s as alive as ever,” Bunny responds, not bothering to conceal their own surprise. “ When Ah last saw her, she was asleep. Ah don’t ken if she’s even opened her eyes yet.” 

Eike lets out a shaky sigh of relief; even with how much she aches and feels like screaming until her lungs give out, she’s able to decide that she must go on for Lara. That they all must go on for each other.

Her arms gently lift and Bunny leans into her embrace. They run their fingers through her hair while Eike tries to keep herself from crying, going so far as to bite the inside of her cheek. Bunny is keeping it together for her, so she shall do the same. 

“ Where’s Sage?” She finally asks, her voice cracking.

She pulls herself away to look at Bunny when they don’t answer. “ Where is he?” Eike repeats. 

“ Asleep…I haven’t told him where Lara is.” They reveal, “ He cuidn’t get to her like Ah cuid. Ah told him he’s no more of use than th’rest of us if he doesn’t focus on getting better. Of course I didn’t have to tell him-he’s not an absolute fool.” 

Bunny suddenly flinches, puts a finger to their lips, cracks begin to run across their skin, eyes-everywhere-before they allow themself to fall off the side of the bed, breaking and falling apart into a black dust that leaves no trace of existence on the floor. 

“ Miss Breisacher?” A nurse announces from behind the curtain. “ Miss Breisacher, are you awake?” She pokes her head through the small safe, making eye contact with a  frozen Eike. 

“ It’s time for your pain medicine, and I’ve brought dinner as well.” The nurse enters the curtained space, a tray balanced on the palm of her hand. 

Eike realizes she doesn’t really feel any pain right now. She should be in agony, considering her wounds. They must have her taking something heavy. 

She offers the nurse a couple of nods, her eyes follow the older woman as she pulls the table from beside the bed and sets the tray down in front of the teenager. A big bowl of steaming soups has been placed down in the center, crackers and fruit complimenting it. At the corner a couple of round pills and a small plastic cup of water are waiting. Eike takes them first then reaches for the crackers, freezing like a deer once again when a cold hand stops her. 

“ Sorry, Miss Breisacher, but I must ask you to open your mouth and lift your tongue. Can’t have you spitting these out after I leave.” The nurse speaks politely though her face gives away that what she’s describing has happened too many times for her to trust her patients anymore. 

Eike pulls her arm away before obliging. 

The nurse's lips tighten. “ Thank you, Miss.” She leaves without saying anything else. The whole exchange feels strange. 

“ Are ye okay, Shortcake?” Bunny’s head pops up on the ginger’s right side and they climb onto the end of the bed. “ Ah think they made her stay for the night shift to punish me-Ah didn’t exactly make a good impression wi’ her,” They admit. “ Ah didn’t fight her-Ah just may have scared her a bit. They don’t want to understand that Ah didn’t recognize where Ah was, the assholes.”

“ She made me take medication-she said it was pain medication but the other patients have spit it out before?” Eike raises her brows at the Scot. 

Bunny only makes a small ‘pfft’ noise. “ The mean bitch is havin’ her fun…” They mutter, more to themself than Eike. “ Don’t worry, it’s pain medication an’ sleep medication. The strong stuff-which means I don’t have much longer with ye tonight.” 

“ Will you stay awhile before I sleep?” The ginger pleads. She reaches out for Bunny and they intertwine their fingers.

“ Always, my sweet. Those dimwits can’t keep me away from ye.”

open letter to ems (part iii) — @officialjimmybuffett

Hey bitch. Happy birthday.

It’s June 21st, 2023. Your birthday is not in a while, a long, long while. But I want to say I love you because I know no person who…update it’s October 23, I have no idea what I was going to say, but I thought the sentiment was noble, even if it was incomplete. Just know that on June 21st you did something that made me remind myself that I love you and that I’m glad you exist in my life. Maybe that could be enough.

I carry no poetry and no string of pretty words that could explain this concept further. Have fun with the least competent paragraph I’ve ever written.

It’s December 15th, if you don’t mind. I’d like to restart this letter with a new opener. Here we go, drumroll please:

🥁

🥁

🥁

Dear Emma,

We met on the beachside, did you know that?

At least, in my version, we did. That’s why every time I think of you I imagine the hot summer breeze and the waves crashing by my windows (one day, when we’re both old enough to afford to know each other, I’ll let you sleep in the bed where I met you and when you wake up we can get ice cream cups and make henna tattoos — just remember to put on sunscreen (you’re ginger you will probably need it).

When I was a child, my grandmother gave me my first notebook, in the cover there was this girl with pink hair surrendered by a neon city. The first story I ever wrote was about her. It had two sentences. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've never finished a story in my life. What was the first story you’ve ever written? Did you ever finish yours? It’s weird to think that, somehow, that notebook brought me closer to you.

I’ve been to New York two times, New Jersey once, just to eat a red velvet cupcake in Carlos Bakery…do you think our cars passed by each other?

Today (April 10th), everything that is supposed to go right goes slightly wrong, and I rather blame mercury’s positioning in the astros than my own incompetence. There was an eclipse in America and I missed it. I am exhausted just from my existence. Sometimes I think you are the cure for my sorrows, other times I am certain of it.

Update: it’s not mercury, it’s iron. I haven't eaten meat in 3 days. You sent me a message telling me to eat meats, I send you a message back saying I'm letting a guy with a rifle and motorcycle call me angel. Maybe there is no better way to describe our dynamic. Maybe if we met in another life, which I am pretty sure we did, I’d still be running around in chaos, and you will still be the savior from my demise.

If we were characters in a show, I know people would ship us together— two deck swabs in the crumbling ship, two vampires hiding in an old theatre, a soldier and a scientist turning blue to save a planet that isn’t their own— then they’d make YouTube compilations of our funny moments (“yah?” “…yeah”). Dare I say, we would be the best characters, Emmy nominations for both our actresses (I’ll let yours take the prize though).

I love you, Em. I send my love to you. And you send it back round to me.

Yeah. I won’t be watching the show. But that’s a pretty fire line, a pretty fire delivery too.

There’s no other version of this story, by the way. At least, not for me. There is no other version of me that is content with a life that doesn’t involve you, that doesn’t, in its own way, revolve around you and your phantomly existence, even if you are always destined to be in the other side of the world, even if the closest thing I’ve ever gotten to your hands were reaching them in my dreams. You are my ghost. My angel. My protector.

It is my biggest privilege (and my greatest sorrow) to be haunted by you.

written in purple glitter ink and with a love that overflows my heart and pours over every word ever written,

lui

p.s every statue in Vienna reminds me of you. there is no other explanation. you are what I think of when I think of art.

The tag is appreciated◇

Blog title: Complete nonsense and too long tbh

Otp/main ships: Loustat, Loumandstat, Nickistat, Danstat, a lot of that that. Not IWTV related...hundreds, but what comes to mind right now is

Mlw: Tomoe x Nanami, Howl x Sophie (more so the book relationship depiction ngl, it's so funny, raw, in depth as books are able to be, and realistic marital bitch fests

Mlm: Tosiek x Leon, Monchevy, Larmanilla x Romeade, Cain x Do Gyeong Joon, Richard iii of York x Henry Lancaster VI/James Tyrell, Minato x Shizuma

Wlw: Seo Jia x Minjoo, Villaneve, Vauseman once upon a time, Mildolyn, Beiguang

A man of too many interests essentially.

Favourite colour: Purple, indigo, black and red together, blue, green

Song stuck in my head:

Hobbies: Art/drawing, food journies, architecture, history, manga, activism, thrifting/charity shop hunting, metal/rock/punk gigs and music, being unapologetically queer etc.

Profession: Freelance comic artist, actor, producer and indie movie directing and a few other qualifications relating to working on set, travelling MUA upon request, logo and poster designer, photographer. I mostly do freelance as I have a chronic pain condition, so I can't work full time unless I work mainly from home.

#1 job: Ngl I'd actually probably enjoy being a Criminal Investigator, Crime Scene Technichian, or Private Investigator. Or.. rockstar 😂

Good at: Illustration

Hate: Misogyny, misandry, fascism, classism, capitalism, terfs, absent parents who keep having kids, heat, sounds out of my control as I have extremely sensitive hearing.

Collect:..A Lot Of Weird Old Things, usually macabre or uniquely or delicately beautiful. Currently, a vintage typewriter worth £700.

Forget: How to be modest and shameful, predominantly, thankfully.

Love language: Time together, boundaries respected, adventures together, I don't need gifts but if you do get them I hope they're related to a current or long term hyperfixation or I'd assume you'd not really be invested in me as I will ramble able such things every day, constantly, incessantly. Standing loyal to me, not being ashamed to love me.

Show/movie: IWTV/Howl's Moving Castle. I even have a tattoo relating to the latter.

Food: I like so many types, but noodles, coffee and wotsits are a safe, consistent bet since I was 3. Not the coffee. I really don't need it with how extreme my hyperactivity can get, hence why I rarely eat sweets. ADHD can be rather annoying to have in regards to food consumption if certain ones set it off like a Jack in the Box horror show. For onlookers anyway, I'm having a GREAT time.😂

Animal: Cats (pref persian, maine coones, gingers, runts, unique patterns in fur types, pallas cats), foxes, dolphins, snakes and reptiles.

What were you like as a child: Kinda similar to now except an oppressed repressed queer person who didn't understand why I wasn't supposed to love whoever I loved pretty much. I've never felt shame in my whole life for being queer, thankfully. Weird, hyper, you could threaten to leave me at the park and I'd resolutely stay considering I couldn't see that as any form of punishment tbh. Ridiculous long golden hair to my ass, which got annoying tbh eventually, still wore bizarre vintage or gothic attire when I could, like blue velvet long coats for kids. Pretty sure insane, me and my friend make a specific towel into a real person, basically, and treat them as such. Loud and obnoxious, too honest for my own good, too literal, but very imaginative, and I was obsessed with mythical creatures, dinosaurs, volcanoes, and hyperfixations on plants, rocks and shells.

Favourite subject at school: I was mainly home educated, I went to school for a year and a half and quit during the Easter holidays from secere bullying, I didn't dislike really anything, I picked up everything except 3 lessons in total the whole time. It was more that my favourite subject wasn't catered to, with art.. we had art, but it was regimented, and we got told off for being creative and not drawing exactly what they had in mind, which is a rather strange mentality in such a subject.

Least favourite subject: Math. Fucking math. And Religious Education, but I mean when they make you focus on Christianity all the time. I much preferred the other holidays they barely dedicated a single day to once a year. I do have an interest in learning about other types of religions and, in turn, retaining parts I agree with and can get behind. I can't say I'd be true to myself if I followed a singular faith no matter what it is, as I could not dedicate myself to a cause if there were parts that I really did not vibe with, as I'd feel I'd be doing a disservice to myself, and with me being how I am with a colourful array of interests and viewpoints, most don't tend to resonate fully or to a point I'd feel it respectful of me to identify fully as a devoted person to a singular religion as it would be a lie. I do attend a variety of services if needed, my relationship with places of worship is something I prefer to visit when I'm alone rather than a room full of people and people preaching their own points and experiencing it wholly from my own interpretations and perspective. They're very beautiful places, and very dark with macabre history.

What's your best character trait: Loyalty, I guess? Trying to take into account the other person's favourite things properly, and try bring them joy.

Worst trait: Yeah, outspoken, or I get selective mutism and totally stop messaging people, and often people think I hate them when I really don't. I know the way I act socially is unconventional. Accidental resting bitch face, sometimes forgetting to regulate my tone of voice to the correct situation. Or being too loud or appearing stoic when I'm in a depressive state or something.

Life change: I mean, I actually changed a lot about my life recently, which I am significantly proud of within my personal life, for the better. But, if I could request one thing more, being fully free of chronic pain and illness flares, they're much better now than they were, though, and I'm thankful enough for that.

I talk about a lot, is that also a bad trait? 😂

Tagging whomsoever sees this, you are tagged my friend.

Getting to know mutuals!

Thanks @emthought for the tag yay I get to be chatty!

What’s the origin of your blog title?

Honestly I didn’t even have one for ages and then I saw a will graham meme with it and I was like damn girl you and me both. Sure, this represents me.

Otp (s) + shipname (s):

I literally have soooo many but recently most focused on radarhawk (mash-quelle suprise there) and hannigram because it’s 2015 again. BUT some of my other OGs that i return to over and over again for years are iorveth/Roche (Witcher) maxAnne and charles/Jack (black sails-ranger crew my belovedddddd) tommy/Alfie (peaky blinders) charmac (iasip) Thomas/jimmy (downton abbey) god the list just goes on… I think the OLDEST that I’ve been invested in over a decade are hannigram and iorveth/Roche though.

Favourite colour:

Toss up between pink and green depending on the day!

Song stuck in your head:

Lonesome love mistski for niche blorbo reasons- the person responsible knows who they are!!!

Weirdest habit/trait:

I will eat things by hand you didn’t know a person could… I have weird sensory stuff about cutlery esp metal forks so I just. Avoid them lol.

Hobbies:

Painting, singing badly, getting really into movies, cooking, I don’t know if it counts but I do have fun doing theatrical makeup and such.

If you work, what’s your profession?:

Hairstylist! Though I do 70% men’s cuts so I’m not sure if barber is more accurate…wotever

If you could have any job you wish, what would it be?

I was really interested in marine biology! I really love fish and aquatic stuff. I also was interested at one point in working with snakes and other reptiles but that is a significant amount of education for the fact that there is extremely little employment there soooo… but a fun idea!

Something you’re good at:

I’m really good at small talk and first impressions/interviews to a degree people have described as somewhat freaky-unfortunately this means I set a really high expectation that I can’t necessarily live up to. My fiancées old roommate has joked that after a month of knowing me he started to be like “ohhhh you are human after all! Okay cool!”. I just have really good scripts for certain interactions lol.

Something you hate:

Things not going to plan/last minute changes. Also bell peppers and matcha.

Something you collect:

Anything mouse themed! Also trinkets in general, little figurines, royal doulton China, perfume, I’m a magpie with pretty things. Oh hello kitty things too! If hello kitty has 1000 fans I am one if hello kitty has 1 fan I am that fan etc…

Something you forget:

Where I left my phone when I had it a minute ago and I haven’t left the house.

What’s your love language?:

It’s hard to say because of course they all play in but probably words of affirmation? I’m someone that needs a LOT of reassurance so it helps a lot with feeling loved, and I tend to be fairly heart on my sleeve about communicating it back. I think gifts is a big one for me too just because I’ve grown up being shown love through that rather than being told outright so it’s my learned way of recognizing/showing love-not so much fancy gifts as much as getting my fiancée nice coffee beans while I’m out or them bringing me home knickknacks from work, it’s just that you thought of them and wanted to brighten their day.

Favourite movie/show:

I have a lot but moonrise kingdom and aliens are probably my top favourite movies of all time, and my top shows are mash and iasip for comedies and hannibal and black sails for serious shows. Oh I also love over the garden wall ! Whatever that counts as!

Favourite food:

Anything lobster or homemade French onion soup if I’m being bougie, grilled cheese if we’re going comfort food.

Favourite animal:

So many but if I have to pick I will say. The humble mouse.

What were you like as a child:

Really quite strange if we’re being honest. I dressed in historical clothing and was really into the historical reenactment museum near me. Read quite a lot too! Much more than I do now. Generally had a lot of playing pretend and elaborate fantasy worlds and mythologies. I was obsessed with Japan and Egypt for a stretch as most children are, had a hamster named hamtaro, and had the devastating experience of trying sushi and not liking it. Funnily enough I love it now! But it was a big disappointment at the time. Oh I also was in a pretty formal children’s choir so that was a big chunk of my time.

Favourite subject at school:

Depended on the teacher! Probably English though-I would have liked art but I was locked in a four year conflict with my art teacher. I’m sure he hasn’t forgotten me.

Least favourite subject:

Gym. Wretched class.

What’s your best character trait?:

I think I’m relatively high in terms of empathy so I try to go out of my way for people if it’ll improve their day or make a big difference for them, or extend patience when people are difficult or unkind- it’s funny how if you go out of your way to be kind when someone is clearly picking a fight often they come back later to apologize and open up about something going on in their personal life and it really turned their day around that you helped them as much as you did, and that means a lot sometimes.

What’s your worst character trait?:

I’m one of the most sensitive people you’ll ever meet which is hard because I get so easily upset at everything. I think it would be a lot easier for me if I had a thicker skin but we are who we are so we make the best of it.

If you could change any detail of your life right now, what would it be?:

Honestly having a lot of money would solve like most possible problems lol

If you could travel in time, who would you like to meet?

On a personal close to me level, my grandfather on my fathers side just because I never met him but everything I learn about him is crazy. Genuinely fascinating life. Bigger historical figure, any of the Romanov children because I have weird historical fixations. And I do have questions about Rasputin.

Tagging:

@3asystreets but also anyone else who would like to!

     ❝ 𝔡𝔬𝔢𝔰 𝔪𝔶 𝔣𝔞𝔱𝔥𝔢𝔯 𝔨𝔫𝔬𝔴 𝔦'𝔪 𝔠𝔬𝔪𝔦𝔫𝔤 𝔲𝔭 𝔥𝔢𝔯𝔢? ❞ the ginger parrots the artist, a bit of surprise laced her vocals. a shake of her head, she puffs up her cheeks at the thought. ❝ yeah, right. i might as well throw myself to the sharks, if that's the case. i actually had flounder do me the biggest favor. he's down there keeping sebastian distracted. can't have him blurting out another one of my visits. ❞ the siren's hand is pulled forward toward the pier and with a flip of her fin, she swiftly follows his lead. the redhead is in closer proximity now, and patiently awaits jack's reveal. it does bring her all the more amusement to hear him consider his next conquest on paper: a dog. and harmoniously, her interest is also piqued the moment he confirms the subject of a beautiful woman. ariel's favorite was madame bijoux ---- and it was partly because of the story jack told her behind it. ariel loved tales and stories. it just made the drawing all the more magical. and so, THE LITTLE MERMAID watches her human best friend walk off and return with the most anticipated piece. the siren gives a strong flip of her tail, and the ocean responds: pulling her upwards from its surface by the strength of a wave. it is enough to propel her onto the dock, but not enough to ruin jack's artwork. her hands, as they always do when she gets atop the pier, press flat upon soaked wood in a push-up to stabilize her frame. she curves her tail, and sits beside the blonde. it was then, that keen eyes fall upon the display: jack dawson had drawn the little mermaid. this was the biggest surprise yet. lines of charcoal confidently contrast the greys and shading: curves, sharp points, and everything in between. how is it that something made of black and white, a lack of color, was able to bring paper to life? there, the daughter of triton sat upon the rock, tail comfortably behind her. the waters were calm, and from the way she was gazing out, ariel believes she can remember that day. if she wasn't mistaken, her memory recalls the evening: she'd gotten a moment to slip away and say hello at the surface. ariel emerged just in time to watch the sunset with jack. the view on land differed from underwater. colors danced atop the sea's surface: orange, white, purple, red ---- shimmering like a rare jewel. admittedly, on that day, ariel hadn't noticed jack drawing her at all... there was a certain touch in the way that jack dawson had captured ariel. the siren was ethereal in her own right: none like the others, of her own enchanting beauty ---- complimentary to the fiery spirit residing inside her. such a feat was exquisitely reflected on this sketchpad; a fondness evident in this depiction. a warm breeze rolls by and curls the page along with it, and ariel cannot help but place a damp hand on the corner to keep it down. she's immediately attached to it, as if it were a treasure found upon a sunken ship. deep blues stare adoringly at the piece. it was truly illuminated in his work, that jack had the eye of an artist. and in this case, beauty, indeed, was in the eye of the beholder. the blonde's suggestion of sebastian elicits a smile. ❝ after occupying him with flounder's troubles today, that might make it up to him. although, i have to say, jack... ❞ ocean orbs finally rise to look at @seahymns, mirth in delicate features. ❝ this is perfect. ❞

    𝔧𝔲𝔰𝔱 𝔪𝔬𝔪𝔢𝔫𝔱𝔰 𝔭𝔯𝔦𝔬𝔯, 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔭𝔯𝔦𝔫𝔠𝔢𝔰𝔰 𝔳𝔦𝔰𝔦𝔱𝔢𝔡 the surface with frustration knocking her like a blazing tide. brows, thin lines of black knit against porcelain skin and rosy lips pursed, mood heavy. but, simply talking with the blonde and laughing with him was enough to ease her tension. time spent with him washed away her stress. and in that sense, JACK DAWSON was medicine. his presence soothed her soul: it was nice to find someone she could talk to, who wouldn't judge her or cast her aside. he saw her for who she was: he understood her. from ariel's quirky antics, to the way she was absolutely obsessed with his world ---- he allowed her to simply be. this was reciprocated, of course: jack had no inhibitions in her company, either! but, for ariel ( who had been a regular fish out of water most of her life, ) this was very special. it was a healing bond, and it brightened her life more than one would think. such elation brings the question: who saved who? sure, jack may have drowned that perilous night, but, ariel was drowning, too. saving him that night actually saved her. ❝ i'd much rather see your newest creation than get another headache! ❞ ariel's grinning, and extends a hand to meet his in return. blue optics immediately catch sight of darkened digits as their hands touch: a sure sign that the artist did, indeed, work on something. she gives @seahymns' hand a squeeze, but, never a tug towards the water --- ariel knew all too well not to pull him back in just yet. that would take a little more time. ❝ let me guess... was it another beautiful woman? you're good at those! ❞ a pause, and triton's daughter lights up all the more. ❝ or, did you draw one of those shaggy humans? ❞ ariel laughs at her own inquiry: the very thought of a dog amuses her so! ❝ i'd love to see it. will you show me, jack? ❞

[Holding my oc by the scruff] for the oc ship ask . My oc Nydha Ghilain!! He's a light skinned dalish trans man with very long, ginger hair that he ties up in braids almost 90% of the time. He has Mythal's vallaslin and has pretty heavy, dark freckles over most of his body. He's very quiet by nature, a good listener but not especially prone to speaking at length about himself unless prompted. In his free time he does pottery, and tries (and fails) to learn woodcarving from Blackwall.

He's naturally a bit shy, and prefers to spend most of his time with his hart, Ghestlain, or in the tavern with Cole. He learns the necromancer school, but probably also has some dalish specific magic like Merrill does from his time as First of his clan. Nydha's prone to disappearing from Skyhold a lot to go traipsing through the woods in order to get away from people and feel closer to his people, since being in the Inquisition can make him feel disconnected from them.

CUTEEEEE I LOVE HIM!! in a non romantic way, i think my ashariani lavellan and nydha would be good friends!! they seem pretty similar and i know she'd love to reconnect with another dalish elf!!

romantically.....funny enough, i think ashariani's older brother, talassan, would be a nice fit! i haven't posted anything about talassan because i haven't developed him yet (dragon age and i are in a complicated, on-off relationship) BUT he's a charming, tall blond elf with wavy medium-length hair. same eyes as his sister (blue/purple) and the biggest smile you'll ever see on a person. intellectual but laid back, he's usually the one having the most fun around skyhold, but he also helps ashariani make a lot of the decisions

he was one of the clan's strongest warriors back home, so he makes a lot of the war decisions. don't let his fun loving nature fool you, either. he'll kill you in a heartbeat if he thinks you're a threat. and he's fiercely protective of his sister

on the exterior, he does seem to be the one doing the wooing, but he's very much a fan of being wooed himself. and he's always willing to try something new if his partner is into it :)
