#sorry this is so short!

[rushed-hours]

After coughing their way through a majority of their downtime, Phosphate manages to finish patching up the odd here-and-there injuries that had stuck around. Who can say why they're still wounded, or why what just happened even occurred. ... Well, maybe they can find some answers. Ducking out of the cabin, they wander in the general direction they noted her going in. Shouldn't take long to find him, they're not exactly allowed to wander far. It's the crunch of leaves and sticks underfoot, every fin of hers aglow in the unlit woods. Looking for someone in such bright clothing wasn't hard after all! Coming into view of them, she is a looming figure, with a cold sort of fury written on her face. "Elliot, right?"

@phos-saken

When Phos encounters Elliot, she's scowling at the ground, fiddling with her hair. The moment she notices their presence, she's got an instant customer service smile, looking up at them. ... Ordinarily this wouldn't be the worst, but considering what just happened... It's probably a bit eerie, and uncanny.

"That's me, yeah! Did you need something?"

Closed starter: Faolan Ruadh and Beau Clary (@eatabug)

Poor Beau. It was probably the first thing people thought when they saw Faolan around the good-natured Texan. It was somewhat common knowledge that Faolan was bad news; in one way or another, he always seemed to find violence or trouble. Luckily for Faolan, though, Beau seemed purposefully oblivious to the things that were said about the boxer. So, though Faolan was not prone to country-living, he'd dragged himself out to the market if only to drag Beau away into some real fun. He saw Beau's horse Kisses first and quickly slipped an apple from a fruit stand into his pocket to bring to her, making eye contact with the seller and giving the man a dangerous smile, before he continued on. He held out the apple to the horse and then called over to Beau. "Oy Tex, got tired of bar food for a change. Figured I might see what you got here as a break from red meat and whiskey."

‘It’s my right as a bisexual to sit this way.’

Henry comes clattering down the stairs from his office, his brain fuzzy after putting in a solid few hours of working on his novel. He's hoping that Alex started dinner, because he's starving and can't cook and on nights when he writes, Alex usually spoils him with a delicious meal. He's been daring to dream of Alex's arroz con pollo, but instead of food he sees Alex sitting down reading, his butt on the cushion, both legs flung over the back of the sofa. "Alexander, that cannot be comfortable. Or good for the furniture." Henry smiles, running a hand up one of Alex's legs, nestling it on his thigh. That gets his attention, and Alex sets the book down. "It's my right as a bisexual to sit this way," Alex says in complete seriousness. "I can't sit straight. Get it?" The true joy at his little joke shows on his face, and Henry can't help but laugh. "Well, I'm certainly lucky that that's a fact," Henry says, and leans over the sofa, presses his lips softly against Alex's, his hand inching ever closer up that thick thigh of his.

@halfofozsfavouriteteam : "I don't have time to get sick, I have things to do!" 🧹 🪄

“Ah-ah-ah-ah!” Oscar will hear no excuses, plucking the book out of her hand with a deftness born from years of sleight-of-hand tricks. He gently taps it against the top of her head before throwing it away over his shoulder, already taking command of her with his other hand upon her arm.

“Up, up, up! I can’t—won’t—have my best girl working herself into the ground for my sake.” Not when they have time on their side, not when they can afford to take it easy. Morrible’s letters on the matter were clear: Elphaba’s powers were great but unfocused, as dictated by emotion as by anything else. Being sick can’t lead to good emotions, and that’s reason enough to see her off even without the myriad of other concerns surrounding her.

He has her on her feet in a trice whether she would or no, though he can hardly pull a grown woman to her room against her will. Not that he would even if he could, not if there were other, quicker options.

Beach Week

@copaceticjillybean (Andre + Jillian)

After finding a shaded spot under a nearby tree, Andrealphus set up his lounge chair, umbrella and matching table on which he would place his drink and various cups of shaved ice. He also had a small snow globe, which channelled his cryokinetic powers and was emitting gusts of arctic air in his direction.

Once everything was set up to his standards, the marquis laid back in his chair, peering at the other guests through his round, icy blue shades. One of the guests quickly caught his attention, and a small smirk formed on his beak as she approached.

"So, you're attending this event as well, I see."

5 6 and 9 for mark? :3c

5) Gush about the little things your f/o does when they’re thinking really hard about something!

If it’s something he’s frustrated about, a lot of the time he’ll massage the bridge of his nose and frown. In general he frowns when he’s thinking hard tho. If he’s sitting, he’ll bounce his leg up and down

6) Gush about your f/o's laugh!

Mark’s laugh is low. He doesn’t laugh a lot, but when he does it’s usually a pretty sharp sound. He can be kinda smug sound with it too

9) Gush about the most recent date the two of you went on!

I really should’ve said not to send this one bcs I do not think about this kind of thing at all with my selfships. We probably went out for coffee or went to a movie something

[lyranova]

Hello. If the ship ask is still open, can I have your thoughts on Oscar x Nero?

Hiya Whack, it’s been a while, and I hope you’re doing well 🥰!! Sure you can ask for the ship game, I don’t mind!

Oscar x Nero: Makes sense and it does kind of compel me! They’re opposites in personality and appearance, but they also compliment each other so well! He’s kind and patient towards Nero, and tries to encourage her to be a little more open. While Nero encourages him to do his best, and helps him with his work by giving him advice and trying to get him to focus on one thing at a time. But neither one hinders the other, and just lets them be themselves!

Ghost's secret wife part two...part one part 3

You're tucked into the side of your husband as you sit on the couch. John sitting on the chair adjacent. Johnny and Kyle sat on the floor arms resting on the coffee table.

Monopoly was spread across the the table. Your all time favorite game. Simon has a distaste for it but can never say no to his wife.

Johnny and Kyle have been staring the entire night. They were still so surprised Simon was hitched. Let alone by someone as soft and kind as you.

It's Johnny's turn to role, doubles...for the third time this round. He lets out an exasperated groan and moves his piece to jail. You laugh at his antics and he notices Simon looking down at you his face turned in a soft admiration. A stark difference from the face he has when yelling at privates all day.

"How did you guys even meet?" Kyle asks from next to Johnny.

"Well," You start. "Iwas having trouble bringing my groceries up the stairs of my old apartment complex, and Simon ended up coming up the stairs behind me and taking them from me."

You smile looking up at Simon. "I think it was love at first sight." You finish a pink blush darkening your cheeks as you look back down at your hands fidgeting.

Kyle and Johnny both let out sweet "awes" that make you giggle and smile.

Simon squeezes you showing of his gorgeous grin. The boys were shocked the years they've know him he's never smiled like that.

Always use "excuse me" if you have to get into someone else's personal space.

Someone at the store is standing in front of the shelf where there's a can you want to grab? Don't just reach into their personal space without warning, say "excuse me" or "pardon my reach" first so that they at least have a warning that someone is about to reach into their personal space, and most importantly, so that they have a chance to move before you get into their space.

Or if someone is standing on a walkway or in a doorway you need to get through, don't just silently shove past them or squeeze past them, say "excuse me" so that they have a warning that a someone is about to squeeze or shove into their personal space, and they have a chance to move out of the way before you do you.

People deserve a fair warning if someone is about to squeeze or shove or reach into their personal space. A lot of people are not okay with having someone, but especially a stranger, randomly shove or squeeze or reach into their personal space without warning. They also deserve a chance to move out of the way first for the sake of their comfort.

Try to avoid just staring at people who are in your way and expecting them to read your mind that you want them to move. Most people cannot, in fact, read minds, so having someone stand in front of them and stare at them often only leads to making them feel uncomfortable and frustrated.

But also more importantly, if you are standing somewhere someone needs to get to, and they say excuse me, you should move aside for them even if just temporarily, so they can avoid the discomfort of having to reach into your personal space or squeeze past you.

If someone is saying "excuse me" it's because they would like you to move because they don't want to have to get into your personal space, whether it's out of respect for you, or just because they themselves are not comfortable getting in your personal space.

All of this goes double for people with trauma and/or people who are neurodivergent. If someone has trauma related to abuse or assault they may find it more upsetting or possibly triggering to suddenly have someone shoving or reaching in their personal space without warning.

Or, many types of neurodivergence can make it especially disturbing and unpleasant to have someone else in your personal space, especially without warning.

You can never be 100% sure who is and isn't traumatized and/or neurodivergent, so always practice respecting other's personal space by giving them a fair warning with "excuse me" or "pardon my reach" before getting in their personal space, and moving aside when you hear those magic words. Or, even if someone isn't traumatized nor neurodivergent, it's still fair to not like someone in your personal space without warning and not being given the opportunity to move first.
