Last line meme

@starrypawz tagged me

Rules: In a new post, show the last line you wrote and tag as many people as there are words.

"Drax had to remind himself again to slow down and turn his body to give the audience a better view. Truth be told he only cared about one of the spectators, and he wasn't even sure if she was still watching, but he'd never risk disappointing her. "

That's the last thing I wrote ouside of rps. :P

Possibility

The ground descended away from them, sparkles in the fresh snow merging into a delicate pink-gold sheen in the falling light.  Pines cloaked in thick mats of snow showed their tips, swept free in the wind.  But Blakk didn’t notice much of it.  He’d been distracted a lot lately.

It was hard to live in the moment.  To appreciate - to know - where he was and who he was, and where he was supposed to be going.  He saw the past in so many things, felt the emptiness in everything.  The Empire continued to give him a purpose, but it felt hollow.  He felt hollow.  He went through the motions, but ... there wasn’t much that seemed to have a point.

The sun glinted in stunning, blinding gold through the corner of the gondola as they rose higher, perching tremulously on the edge of the mountain slope.  The glare filled his eyes, made it easy to remain inside himself, lost in thought, unseeing past that glorious barrier.  It was almost a comfortable place, of unanswered longing and melancholy, which no longer stabbed but settled deeply around him like the snow around the trees.  He was conscious of the gentle creak of the lift system, the rocking in the air.  But this invisible blanket held him like memories of a childhood dream he never had.

Then there was a tug on the blanket - the real blanket - around his shoulders, pulling it more tightly around him, hugging the bared skin of his neck with its heavy, wooly softness.  The moment let him go, and he glanced up into pale green eyes, whose clarity anchored him back to the gondola.  At once, the crispness of the air registered, the chill of the gentle breeze on his cheeks and the coldness of the stilled fingers in his mittens, and the heated seats at odds with it, pouring out warmth in a futile attempt to combat the winter air.

“Yurei,” Blakk murmured, and shivered.

Yurei smiled, sliding his arm around Blakk to rub his side.  “Hello gorgeous.  Enjoying the view?”

Blakk’s eyes drew back to the scenery and he blinked to find it already dimmed, the sun now hidden below the edge of the mountain while he’d been lost in thought.  Twinkling points of lights were appearing among the trees as the slopes lit for the local month of Solstice.  The sky was perfect and smooth like blue glass, with the same kind of polished clarity as Yurei’s gemstone eyes.

“Yeah ... I am,” he replied, softly.  The arm around him encouraged him to lay his head upon Yurei’s shoulder, so he did.  Yurei slid closer, a welcome line of warmth along his side, and Blakk wondered if he’d artificially increased his temperature to be felt through both their layers of clothing, or if that was even possible.  Yurei pressed a steaming mug of spiced Hoth chocolate into his hands, and returned to rubbing the cold away.

The drink introduced another pang of memories to his heart, but Yurei’s voice rumbling gently against him chased it away.  “I know you don’t like the cold, but I thought it would be nice to spend some time together, just the two of us.  It’s a long ride, but the restaurant at the top is supposed to be nice, and I heard about the view ... and wanted to show you.”

The lights below had spread, turning the dark patches of trees into an imitation of the night sky, a true winter wonderland viewed from above.  Blakk was conscious of the height now, and it tingled through his spine and feet the way he loved, watching the landscape sail past below them.  He focused on the slight rocking, and it made him giddy, knowing that they could so easily step off the bench and plummet to the earth below.

And it was nice, having Yurei there, with his large, strong warmth, and eyes whose clarity sounded like the possibility of the open sky.

“It would be nice to be down there, with the lights,” Blakk murmured.

Yurei smiled.  “There are some trails up at the top, just like that.  If you want.”

“Yeah.  That sounds nice.”

Yurei’s arm tightened around him, hugging him close.  Blakk sighed, and smiled, just a little, watching the journey of the stars below them through the steam of his cocoa.

Favorite screencaps from 2017

I was tagged by @wrathetc and will add a few I hope haven��t already done this at the end, but I’m always happy to see these, so anyone is welcome, really. 

First, from my collection of funny chat convos. Mostly from my guild, since I’ve gone full custom tab/no genchat these days. 

RIP, Jung Ma and Jung Ma jokes.

Shhhh ... your Republic secrets are totally safe over here. 

I guess that’s the Seventh Line?

I have no idea what happened here.

Then again, sometimes forgetting to turn off genchat has its benefits.

Now, for the baes.

Quinn really doesn’t like the AC in the Dromund Kaas stronghold. 

Wasn’t feeling really creative on the PTS. Xhareen, Notxhareen and Notquitexhareen are the names.

Quinn was not impressed by how Xhareen and T7 chose to interpret his instructions for playing Hide and Seek. (T7 is *in* the table).

Achievement: IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, BREAK QUINN.

And the bestest screencap of all time. I cried, not just because Quinn was officially back, but because I couldn’t get screencaps when I played through their romance the first time. So this? THIS WAS EVERYTHING. 

OK, tagging @tishinada and @starrealis if you haven’t done this!

Slavery in the Empire

Time for another call @swtor tumblr: please share your headcanons :)

With slavery being legal and widely practiced in the Empire, what do your imperial characters think about it? Do they consider it a terrible practice they would ban if they only had enough power? Are they neutral about it, think it's useful for the economy/just a normal part of life?

Do they own slaves and how do they treat them? Why?

Especially for the SI (who used to be a slave before they were sent to Korriban): how did their past experiences shape their view on this topic?

prompted by a scene in an ongoing rp (@starrealis), the conversation between our two Sith went somewhat like this:

Drake: OMG, stop abusing the slaves! You can't just shock them for spilling a drink! Var'lock: *confused* explain why Drake: *exasperated* Slaves are people? You should KNOW since you used to be one. Var'lock: FYI, I treat them exactly the same as any other people. I shock them and then I laugh as they scream in pain...

[thefoodwiththedood]

More Angels done! From left to right, we’ve got @starrealis‘s Shoal, bball on Discord’s Etkhu, and @the-dark-sleen‘s Gabriel! These were all super fun to draw, so YEAH, I hope y’all like how they turned out!

Originally I was going to put both sets of pictures on the same post but I didn’t want to keep my commissioner waiting any longer so here is (what I think it a very good pose) of @starrealis‘s Raven and Kezz. This one was a bit challenging to find the right pose but thankfully I found it quickly :D

[chenria]

@starrealis‘s Kaiden and @kaosstar ’s Ziminder - commissioned by @starrealis

The two were fun to draw ;)

3 OTP Questions

I’ve been tagged by a couple of people so I’ll try to do more than one of these. As my main OT is a 4, I’m going to focus on some of the simpler ones. ;) 

This one is for a tag by @starrealis​ <3

WoW screenshot showing Dareca and Lann being very srs. 

My pet ghost goat’s name is Lucio, btw.

How did they first meet?:

Outside of Ironforge, briefly when they were introduced to each other, but as a deliberate first -meeting-, Stormwind park, a long time ago, when Dareca was a hunter and scout.

What did they first think of each other?:

Lann is not shy about saying that he knew Dareca was the one for him immediately. 

Dareca was slower to arrive at the same conclusion, but if you catch her at the right moment, she might admit that she felt the spark right away, too.

Were they immediately attracted, or did that come later?:

Definitely attracted immediately. Dareca was always on the go back then due to her work, but every time they were in the same general location.. they’d end up together for as long as they had before she was on the road again. 

Now that she is a front line fighter like Lann, they are almost never separated for more than a day or two, and are as tightly knit as soldiers in battle as they are off the field of combat.
