19 with Felwinter and Timur please? ❄️

19. … after the storm had passed

"Goodness."

Felwinter glanced at Timur, who had spoken. The warlock stood next to him, eyes wide but expression guarded as he surveyed the damage. A particularly strong blizzard had ripped through the village at the base of Felwinter Peak. The people who lived there were safe, still sheltered up at Vostok, but the wind and ice had taken their toll on the structures.

He didn't move from their vantage, taking in as much of the damage as he could see, trying to catalogue it all so he could determine the most efficient way to start repairs. It would take a while, he thought. It was a small town, but the people were independent and wary, not liking to rely on shared supplies from other settlements for the risk of incurring some debt to a warlord. As a result, most of the buildings were either built from or had been repaired and reinforced with resources from the surrounding forest. Good for self-sufficiency, not as durable as the remnant buildings from the Golden Age that most warlords salvaged from or what the new city under the Traveler was being built with.

"Are you all right?" Timur asked.

Felwinter looked at him again. "Of course," he said.

"I know this place is somewhat important to you, is all," he clarified.

"The people are the important thing, and they're safe," Felwinter replied. "Homes can be rebuilt. I was merely trying to figure out where to start. And the logistics of keeping them all in Vostok for an extended period of time."

"Oh, it won't take that long, I imagine," Timur said. "Maybe, if you were still working alone, but you're an Iron Lord now." He gestured to the other side of the village as they started to filter in from the path up the mountain. Mostly Iron Lords, led by Silimar, accompanied by several of the townsfolk.

"Welcome to the many benefits of having friends," Timur said, smiling. He patted Felwinter on the shoulder as he brushed past him, hurrying down the slope to meet Silimar.

Felwinter hesitated a moment before following him, watching how the people interacted with the Iron Lords. That suspicion they held for lightbearers seemed gone, replaced by laughter as they set to work cleaning up the mess.

Friends, he thought, slowly following Timur down the hill. He still wasn't sure about that, but he was beginning to be sure he had made the right choice.

The secret Dungeon Meshi sauce that's getting people to eat better is that it's so non-judgmental. Senshi and the rest of the gang never talk about what not to eat besides things that taste bad and literal poison. They don't even talk about "health" that much besides the importance of a balanced diet. It's so much easier to eat well when you think of food simply as something your body needs, and that it's often worth the extra effort to make it taste good, especially when you understand how to connect "things your body needs" with "things that taste good"

asking people to be mindful of others when sharing a communal space (especially one you cannot just up and leave from) is not selfish or misanthropic. come on now

[cowboysmp3]

there’s something sooo sickening about how dunmeshis whole energy is like sometimes something terrible and awful happens to you and it changes you forever and nothing can make you the person you were before but there’s still love and there’s still sharing a meal together and there’s still living

SNAPDEX REPORT: WEEK 1

actually, i guess nows as good a time as any. heres all my pokemon warmups from the past 9 days! i wonder how long i can keep going

[inkskinned]

she's singing in another room and my dog is asleep at my feet. my grandma asked me why i haven't found a man yet and i laughed. oh, you know. i like my house clean.

my girlfriend is also my man is also "my partner" if i'm in a professional setting. yesterday we went to a ren faire and a man mimed at me - you're together? and at my delighted nod, his baffled, you're gay? made me laugh. a woman with rainbow hair said i love the two of you together. you're both so beautiful it's absurd.

my dad introduced my partner as my "..... friend. or whatever" the other day. he knows we're dating. in the same way, i was never able to get my sister's husband to stop saying that's gay like it's 2008. he still uses the word fa***t, and my sister's defense of him has always been well, he's just kidding.

my lover and i dance to old music in a tiny kitchen. we judge new music together and take food critique very seriously. we watch love is blind before we fall asleep and agree that if they had a queer season, it would be bloody but also make for excellent tv. of fucking course queer people would know someone for only 2 weeks and agree to get married. what are you saying.

at a bar with friends, a man puts his hand on my wrist. got a boyfriend? and yes, i do have a boyfriend, she's amazing. i am texting her while i wander around a gas station named after geese. i am visiting a swing state for a wedding. in the candy aisle i overhear: she's actually like a lesbian it's disgusting. two teenage girls with packaged sandwiches in their hands, giggling. no literally, like. i'm not, like. okay with her being there while we're all, like, naked and changing.

my girlfriend and i tailgate, drink gin and cider out of cups. from the frat group beside us, a man corrects himself with one of his friends: bro, i mean, nonbinary entity, and it makes everyone around him laugh, myself included. he razzes his friend the same way i would have killed for at 19 years old - like nothing happened, he continues: you apply sunscreen like an alien. he does a little sassy (and fairly accurate) dance interpretation of the motion. his friend is laughing so hard they're crying.

i am lucky, i live in a safe neighborhood in a safe state. my masc passenger princess comes up from DC. i drive her for an hour to where all the leaves are a violent arrangement of color. we walk along the trails, letting autumn into our blood. in this part of the state, there's a lot of pickup trucks and trump signs. when we chastely kiss before getting into the car, i accidentally make eye contact with a woman holding her child's wrist. she looks disgusted. she looks fucking pissed.

two hours later my girl and i are eating dinner on a patio, soaking in the last warmth of new england sun before the chill of winter sets in. we are giggling and trying to talk through plastic vampire teeth. at another table, i see a young woman sit up straighter. i watch her watch us. she blushes and takes her partner's hand from across the table. shy, like the taste of evening has just become something deeper.

it's worth it for this moment, i think. my lover is still humming the same song she's been singing for four days straight and i don't want to kill her for it. her guitar is beside my bed. her toothbrush is in my bathroom. in a few moments i will make us lunch. we are lucky enough to have found each other. it is lucky enough to be in love.
