#still hate the beetles but the rest of it is *chefs kiss*

[ess-presso]

hiya ess!👋

ur completely correct. fics based on taylor songs are superior theres just a certain... je ne sais quoi about them. chefs kiss.

and yes! cameron from 10 things i hate ab you! get urself a man who learns french for you and settle for nothing less.

fic rec! take a shot of holy water by pinkpalaceapartments (wolfstar dorlene & jily fleabag au)

tay time! sparks fly, style, & all you had to do was stay🌟

chatting time<3

i know. people thinking the trojan horse was real still baffles me especially since theyre in an UPPER LEVEL classics course. like how do you go through uni reading and learning about the trojan war and the fact that its a FICTIONAL POEM and not a historical account & still think its real. i mean i get it. i wish it was real too.

little women 2019 my beloved <3 forever obsessed with timmy as laurie and flo as amy.

and GOD i know americans can be just. so irritating. you can always tell when tourists are american because theyre SO LOUD! and the stonehenge comment? HUH? they baffle me sometimes.

and omg another cat named pixie! i guess all cats named pixie are just. heinous bitches. buts its okay because theyre cute<3

and ty for the percy/pansy fic rec ill add to my tbr <3 excited to read about them.

u know maybe killing remus is for the best. especially if youre marrying sirius i think that itself would do him in anyways.

the incest chronicles are def super long & honestly, the first main installment of the series is kinda bland in comparison to the prequels and sequels which makes it feel inaccessible bc you have to struggle through the first 6 big ass books but i promise its worth it. ive begged my friends to read it but they all refuse bc its just SO long and you know what. fair!

and yes i recommend reading the book first. i watch the movie only so i can stare at ben barnes and go "hey it's sirius" every 2 mins.

drunk procrastinators!! my bff: dont you have a paper due tomorrow? me, half a bottle of wine down & definitely has a paper due tomorrow: no

omg the scene for the quaffle & the snitch??? best believe i Will be reading.

apple turnovers for breakfast sounds so good. now im craving one.

and 4 tubs of butter?? hey i mean the drunk heart wants what it wants.

PLUTO<3 when was younger & learned that pluto was classified as a dwarf planet and not a planet i actually cried. she doesnt deserve that💔

im glad you at least got pizza out that situation. pizza can help ease the pain of any mortifying embarrassment.

and dancing in the kitchen with wine & jazz? so real. thats like, peak humanity.

yes poutine is SO good. i wont take any slander from americans who eat jello salad (to be fair i think they sell that in canada too</3... i really dont think its popular here thank god)

barty as a ravenclaw is so important to me especially when pandora is a ravenclaw too. my fav lil chaos gremlins who are also honorary slytherins❤️

omg a pink car slay. my bff had a baby blue beetle for a while and it was PERFECt well until it literally broke cause it was so old BUT being a passenger princess / dj / gps in a cute car is always the dream.

& ill watch the apprentice! hyde guy and kim kardashian lady are enough for me so i will .

platonic soulmates <3 liv (my best friend) once said she'd drop everything to take me to a mental institution if she had to (SHE DIDNT HAVE TO I WAS JUST GOING THROUGH IT!!! she did mildly threaten me though. with love ofc<3) id die for her but id also live for her.

YES GEOGUESSR! its so addicting and just really fun and educational ig. like. now i know what the rest of the world looks like! yay! & if ur shoelaces were knotted id gladly untie them for u❤️

v sorry to hear about victoria, she doesnt deserve u !!

and the guy who came out as gay? still kinda funny like. he liked me on & off for 5 YEARS only to realize he didnt actually like girls. like was i a part of that realization?? i have so many questions.

apollo & artemis!! i love them so very much. my fav siblings❤️

fancasts! andrew & ben are great, also dont like dane as peter. YOUR JAMES? i love him. very good fancast. atj & reiky are great too but i also love thomas weatherall as malakai from heartbreak high (he oozes james energy and has like. idk how to describe it but a very "james potter" smile - example here)

and omg we have the same evan and barty fancasts. hugh as evan will forever be perfect to me. hes just So Evan. maxence as barty is also just perfect i love him. elle fanning as pandora & lewis as peter>>> also annalise basso as lily. she showed up in an episode of new girl i was watching and i was like "LILY??" i also love beabadoobee as marlene. but TIMMY AS REG. hes PERFECT. no one will ever be more regulus than timmy. love that he is the one fancast everyone can agree on. also movie reg?? WHO IS THAT MAN?? I DONT KNOW HIM!!

and omg a gryffindor!! lucky. i always wanted to be a gryffindor when i was a kid but im a slytherin</3 not complaining tho. i love my fellow snakes.

orpheus and eurydice kill me ON GOD. getting the chance to save the one you love but that very love being your downfall💔💔

a soldier! i think soldier is the rarest one so thats very cool. or maybe its poet idk. i wanted to be a poet so bad but i got king. (aka eldest daughter syndrome) heavy is the head that wears the crown ig.

phone, purse, bingo tickets, notebook & headphones = essentials for sure. i wont be caught DEAD without my headphones (and phone cause i need that for music ofc) because i have to have music in my ears 24/7 or ill die.

an athena kid! theyre the coolest and i always wanted to be an athena kid. whenever i take the quiz i get either hades or athena so thats cool ig. raising the dead could be kinda fun! i already kinda dress like nico di angelo so that works for me im just missing my embodiment-of-sunshine child-of-apollo partner </3

your top 5 albums>>. tay NEVER MISSES!!

and yes soulmates! i read too much to not believe in them fr.

answering qs!

top 5 albums: (in no particular order except no.1)

the rise and fall of ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars by bowie FOREVER my number 1. i love that album more than anything in this world.

hs1 by harry styles

am by arctic monkeys

chip chrome and the mono tones by the neighbourhood

electric warrior by t.rex

(honourable mentions because im indecisive and would put these in top 5 if i could: folklore by tay, hozier by hozier, disintegration by the cure, led zeppelin iv by led zeppelin, & the dark side of the moon by pink floyd. (theres my top 10 then ig!!))

2. slytherin! like i said above i wanted to be a gryffindor so bad so i figured out which questions gave u which results and only answered the gryffindor ones (denial is a river in egypt girl....) but i decided i couldnt lie anymore and embraced my slytherin-ness.

3. erudite! ofc i always wanted to be dauntless cause theyre cool and tatted out and wear black but ig i value knowledge and shit more </3

4. this is def morbid but in ancient rome, where slavery was very much present, slaves had to wear collars (like. dog collars. so fucked up) and if a slave ran away, you could hire fugitivarii which were slave hunters. like basically bounty hunters. slaves were a huge part of roman economy and very important so obviously people didnt want them to leave but man its fucked up. anyway!

5. king! like i said before i wanted poet so bad but got king which broke my heart but yeah. i saw someone on tiktok say that kings are poets who are bound to duty . still trying to figure out what my duty is cause its definitely not reading fanfic and sitting on tumblr for several hours.

6. silver! i love gold jewelry sm but im super fucking pale and it looks bad on me so i prefer silver . i do wear gold sometimes but silver goes with any outfit so.

7. this is such a hard question cause i love them both but i think tay. shes just got so much variety for any mood so she wins. lana does too but her vibes are just different so.

8. CRUEL SUMMER VS DONT BLAME ME??? another brutal question ess youre killing me. theyre totally tied in my heart but for the sake of picking i think...im gonna have to go with dont blame me. i think the vibe of love making you crazy just fits me more. cause like yeah ill go crazy. but cruel summer my beloved you will ALWAY BE FAMOUS!!

9. my tears ricochet vs the great war.. AHHHHHH. i think my tears ricochet. i associate the great war with crimson rivers too much that i cant listen to it without losing it.

10. i love candles sm this is so hard. in the winter i love christmas tree/pine scents theyre so nice. but in the summer i have a lilac scented one that i burn and its lovely. but i also have one named after Rome that smells like fresh cut flowers thats so nice too. (rome did Not smell like fresh cut flowers when i visited, quite the opposite actually but i can pretend<3)

11. SLOW WALKERS! im a really fast walker and if people are in my way i get so frustrated. girl move i have places to be!!!!

12. kind of anything makes me laugh. dry humour and sarcasm especially but will laugh at anything especially if its dumb as hell

13. i do! its isabella which is very bland but what can you do.

14. i dont think ive ever heard anyone say hoser over here, maybe its an old person thing. but they do say eh! moreso in eastern canada. i have family over there and a lot of them say it. you dont hear it a lot on the west coast.

qs for u!

fav random marauders headcanons?

fav season?

fav subjects in school?

if u could visit one fictional world which would it be?

do u collect anything?

cardigan vs mirrorball

divergent faction?

if u were a mythological creature what would u be? (like vampire, werewolf, etc)

if u could live in any time period, which one would u pick?

whats your ideal first date?

do u play any sports?

board games vs video games? (or neither lol)

if u like art, whats your fav painting/work of art? or artist?

thats all for now! ill try not to die in the war. might be hard cause my eyesight is horrible and wearing glasses in a war seems impractical & i dont think they had contact lenses back during the wartimes. natural selection i suppose.

-bee

bee bee bee <3333

YES. Chef’s kiss honestly. I’m going to do one of those one day. Just you wait.

Man who learns French for you >>> (imagining james taking his duolingo lessons for Regulus)

A FLEABAG AU ??? WITH WOLFSTAR DORLENE & JILY ???? on god this is perfect already i love u for hitting all the right buttons on this rec.

tay tay -

spark fly - JEGULUS - ‘move like a full on rainstorm’ = regulus . Regulus is a rainstorm , wholly and fully. ‘kiss me on the sidewalk , take away the pain’ = reg’s thoughts , when he’s always in pain and only james can heal him 💔💔💔. ‘something to haunt me when you’re not around’ the sheer memory of regulus would haunt james , just like cathy haunts heathcliff.

style- JILY- this could go for literally so many ships. like wolfstar , jily , anything. I chose jily , simply because i feel that just like the hook , james and lily never go out of style. and also lily would ask him about reg , and he would tell her the whole truth & nothing but the truth. in a muggle au i totally see them as on and off and on and off until they’re finally on again and this time it sticks forever.

all you had to do was stay - JEGULUS - now, it’s probably pretty obvious. but this song to me is reg singing away after james breaks up with him.and him wishing the fact that he loved james would be enough. and feeling like ‘he had me in the palm of his hand’ and being all ‘mf crushed me by making a fist god damn.’

CHATTING <33333

the dumbness of people surprises me sometimes. IT’S A FUCKING POEM DUDE. (i wish it was real too. if it was i think I’d genuinely be like ‘how were they so dumb’ for ages )

TIMMY AND FLO 5EVER

it’s the noise , the accent and the camera for me. it’s genuinely so fucking annoying, why are you destroying such a beautiful place with your fucking flashes and noises ????

pixie is indeed a heinous bitch , and we hate each other but I lover her , really. she a real one for telling it like it is.

(it's actually surprisingly good ! it's one of my new favourite rare pairs along with Blaise/Luna (which I've only read in Isolation & Temptation on the Warfront , but loved anyways !!! ) ( recommend both of those fics btw !!!! I love them vv much !!!)

yes , unfortunately , to marry mr Sirius Black , I shall have to kill remus lupin , because he might die of heartbreak anyways.

u know what , once my mocks are over , I might take a crack at the incest series. they seem interesting , and as long as there's no incest , I'm happy to try it out !

book before the movie 5EVER. (also yes , to me at least , there's something very SIRIUS about ben barnes in dorian grey. that just IS Sirius , yk?)

drunk procrastinators for the win !!!! me , because I handed in my paper 8 minutes before the deadline , but at least I handed it in !!!!

YESSSS I AM VERY EXCITED TO WRITE THAT STORY !!!! I will be on it as soon as doa stops kicking my arse.

apple turnovers are bae - cheap and tasty , all in one <333

No but it was LURPAK. that's the kinda butter the queen (rip bae , I meant the king) would use. and also seven sticks of Toblerone , but that's worth it . Toblerone is also bae . all chocolate is bae.

PLUTO IS FAMILY. NO FAMILY IS LEFT BEHIND . I LOVE PLUTO. I PROTECT HER.

time heals all wounds ?? pswah , nah. PIZZA heals all wounds !!!

it is very much peak humanity. especially because he's taller than me , but I did keep stepping on his toes. don't think he minded too much , but honestly it was such a peaceful evening. like that was THE moment , yk ???

that's it , I shall be finding a food truck and trying poutine. (not jello salad , though. that's a crime against humanity , and whoever made that should be arrested for their crimes)

(Barty and pandora as Ravenclaws slay , but them as Slytherins also SLAY. just slaying all around.)

PINK AND BLUE CARS FOR THE WIN !!!!! lu has a black car , but it has seat warmers , so that kinda makes up for it. and passenger princesses for the win !!!! lu is the driver , and will always be the driver. I shall never learn how to drive , as long as I have him. but sometimes as a joke , I'll leave penny coins as a 'tip'. I think I'm really funny for that.

yes u must. Hyde guy is rlly hiding . like , you'll see what I mean when you see him. when you watch it , do come and tell me how you liked it !!!

platonic soulmates have my HEART. like lu has walked through aa fuckinbg rainfall to bring me a fucking turnover. and he was going to go home too??? like bro , no ???? but he wouldn't come inside , because he was wet and he didn't want to wet the floor too , so I came out and walked back to his house with him. things like that keep my faith in humanity (if he was gone , I think I'd be gone too. he is THE reason.) making me emotional and shit now. (and god damn , 'I'd die for her but also live for her' that's so cute ?? and also I so get that !!!! LIV AND LU FOR THE WIN !!! it's the L names I swear , some spice in them.

I'm actually replying to you after my first game of geoguessr , which I totally flunked , btw. I guessed Wales and the answer was fucking Spain. idk how that happens , but alright. (bro ?? making me blush and shit that's so sweet . I'd buy u an apple turnover :))) )

yes Victoria does not deserve me. I need some nice dude/dudette to do right by me.

nah imagine being someone's reverse realisation ?? like 'I kissed u and then I was gay' like bro u got some sort of power ??/ (and also I agree. very suspicious. I too have questions)

I love Apollo and Artemis too !! (them in rick riordan's books >>>)

Andrew and ben have my heart and soul I just love them a lot. ( dane isn't right , obviously , and lewis is my Peter. he just matches , yk ??) IK I LOVE MY JAMES TOO , HE'S SO PRETTY AND HE'S SO JAMES HONESTLY . (dw I don't comment that , I would never disturb him with that) atj is good for edits , as is reiky sometimes !! (sometimes people use him as desi James though , which - he's not. so I do wish they'd stop , or just say 'Somali James' !) and the smile ??/ on god , that's so jamessss. ( which brings me back to ben barnes. it's something about the way he smiles. very sirius.)

Hugh is honestly winning I love him. maxence too , but Hugh is just EVAN. (to me , at least.) and I so agree , Elle & Lewis >> . love them. TIMMY TIM AS REGGIE REG. LOVE HIM A LOT. MY FAVOURITE. (also movie reg ?? I think not.)

YES GRYFFINDOR. IT'S BECAUSE OF MY BRAVERY AND I LOVE LIONS. jk , but I love the marauders and the trio , so I'm glad to be a Gryffindor. and as u should , your fellow snakes are amazing ( most of them)

ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE !!! ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE !! LOVE BEING YOUR DOWFALL!! YOUR TRAGIC FLAW !! if u must die , let love be the reason why.

at least soldier is rare. I would've rather been the king , because I want to rule shit , not die on the battlefield. (I think every king on my fyp wanted to be a poet. literally every one. so u are one with the masses.)

MUSIC IN MY HEAD 24/7 OR I'LL DIE . so real of u , I'm listening to work song rn, and humming along with it.

Athena kids are awesome , wise n shit. as are hades kids , u guys could raise the dead. I'm going to make lu do the quiz , because he has the blonde hair n the blue eyes , so Apollo kid right there , isn't it?? let's see what he gets !!!

TAY NEVER MISSES !!! TAY IS A GODESSS !!!!!!

reviewing your q's.

ur top five albums are STELLAR. bowie on top as he should be , love him so much . HS1 altered my brain chemicals , but AMMMMMMMMM AMMMMMM . am has changed the course of my life , istg. (knee socks came up on my playlist literally right now. and lu is literally wearing his blue Lacoste top , too . this is freaky.) I've not actually heard the rest , so I gotta give them a listen. (and yes folklore and hozier >>>>> love them so so much they're so dear to me .)

SLYTHERIN SLYTHERIN. SSSSSS AND THAT. (that is also what I did , but I actually got Gryffindor , so to everyone , I am a Gryffindor. and I am one.)

ERUDITE YESSSSS. miss bee smartypants. man that's some barbaric shit , honestly.

kings that sit on Tumblr for several hours and read fic are the only ones that should exist. u are a king.

I LOVER SILVER JEWELLERY TOO. I'm wearing both atm , so it might not make sense , but I have gold and silver (prefer gold because expensive and I like expensive things. jk , if someone I love gave me silver , or even PAPER jewellery , I'd keep it forever. still have Lu's pasta necklace from when we were in year 2.)

tay does win. for me too. she just has that range , you know ??? (Lana is still mothering tho. love her.)

I am killing u . u r dead. CRUEL SUMMER FITS ME MORE !!!! I'LL TAKE CS , U TAKE DBM , AND IT'S ALL FAIR!!!

the Great War with cr ??? now I'm scared to read it ?? (my tears ricochet is my favourite song ever. like ever ever , so I agree with this opinion. I love the Great War too , though.)

lilac candles sound so nice oh my god ??? my favourite scent is the fresh cut roses one , I just rlly love that smell. (it smelt like piss , didn't it ?? just tell me now .)

slow walkers fuckin suck . my pet peeve is year sevens. always blocking the halls , the little bitches. (bless their souls , but goddamn , talk to your friends later , u silly.)

ahh Isabella . classic, I myself , have two middle names , and my mum picked one , and my dad picked the other, it's some flowery shit I swear. especially because they're from different countries , so yk. ah damn I was hoping u would be saying hoser. at least u say eh .

question time !!! -

hmmm. hmmm. I think it's gotta be that remus sat in that carriage on the way to Hogwarts in pot because the marauders always used to sit there , and to sit somewhere else would be blasphemy. also that for a second when he saw that harry had fainted , he thought it was James. heart broke.

winter. I'm a winter baby , and xmas is in winter , so it wins all around.

chemistry ! it slaps my arse , but I prefer it over the other two subjects.

Hogwarts !!! I want a magical wand too !!!

YES. I COLLECT FIFTY PENCE COINS , AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T HAVE THE USUAL BACK , THEY HAVE SOMETHING DIFFERENT. I HAVE AT LEAST 30£ OF THEM. three of them are from lu , because he knows to give them to me. I will attach a picture of them to my next ask. (I have a Florence nightingale 2£ coin too)

CARDIGAN !!! sorry but stars around my scars > trapeze.

erudite !! just like u. makes sense because I strive for academic validation all the time. going to a grammar school really changed me dude, really really did.

I'm going to go for unicorn. because they're pretty and they can grant wishes n I love them. (sorry remus I love u too.)

if racism n sexism didn't exist , then probably the fifties. I love them , the vibe is really cool. the style , too. my second choice is the roman era , because again , that era seems special ! (and obvious as greek kids , we gotta say greek era. just need to experience it for myself , yk???)

MY IDEAL FIRST DATE !!! pick me up at my door in a nice suit/dress and give me flowers (my fave ones ) , drive me to the restaurant (French or Italian pls) and then the cinema. we watch the movie , then we go to the bookshop , and they say 'buy anything. anything' and then on the way home , they park their car , and we go on a walk and talk about life , for ages and ages , and then we buy stuff from the bakery (they know I like apple turnovers) and then kiss under the stars. if someone does this for me , I'll marry them

no unfortunately. I tried out for netball in year seven , got rejected , took it as a personal attack , and therefore just watch lu play his hockey and football from the stands. that's the extent of my sportsmanship.

BOARD GAMES. Friday is actually board game night for me and lu. busting out the monopoly board means we r no longer best friends for some time. we r enemies.

I do love art !! actually going to the Tate modern on Saturday with lu !! my favourite piece of art is 'cafe terrace at night' . I love it so much it's so special to me I love it. can imagine walking there , hand in hand with my date I love it. (might go there for my grad trip. maybe.

q's for u -

ur ideal first date ?

rep vs lover ?

hozier vs am?

do u play sports ? (pls tell me u play hockey )

favourite board game ?

take me to church vs work song ?

fave season ?

fave food ?

fave marauder hc ?

one ship u hate (hp) ?

your patronus ?

your favourite piece of art ?

ginny or luna ?

favourite restaurant ?

favourite beverage ?

[ beeeeee don't be too long I will miss u too much. I love u. (also glasses?? same ). be safe , king.]

1. Favorite living world season? while I think 4 was probably better in terms of writing and gameplay, I think lws3 is still my favorite.

7. Favorite Dragon’s Watch character? Kasmeer currently~

8. Favorite Elder Dragon? Jormag, sorry for being massively gay for them

10. Best boss fight (fractal)? High Priestess Amala, it’s such an interesting fight but such a fucking tragic one

Most emotional cinematic?  Hard to say, since none of the most emotional moments for me were cinematics, but dialogue over action that adds to scenes, like leaving Blish in the Mists, or Executioner Amala’s death, where you and Braham are just stuck in space together for a few minutes after. That said, maybe when Braham pushes you free of Joko’s spell and takes your place so you can fight? Was that a cinematic?

[dasozelotvonnebenan]

30 questions: GW2 edition

not tagged by anyone (yet) but @pr-gw2​ said to just do it if you like and I’d very much like to ^^

This can be done in many different ways: get asks by your followers, pick some questions for yourself, answer the whole damn thing at once, etc!

You can draw, write (to explain in details or not) or just post screenshots! If you miss one it’s totally okay, whether it’s by lack of answer or time. Have fun!

1. Favorite living world season?

Season 3, though it also includes some of my least favourite maps (looking at you lake doric) had a very fun story. Well apart from what they did with the actual lazarus.

2. Favorite expansion?

Definitely HoT. Love the maps, love the story, love the elites. I’ve spent a significant part of my life in the heart of maguuma.

3. Favorite soundtrack?

“Attack on Tarir” and “Tarir, the Forgotten City” and the rest of the HoT soundtrack in general. The instrumental version of fear not this night that plays when you fight at the artesian waters in orr. The vanilla character select music, as well as the HoT one. Some of the PoF combat music. Look I really can’t decide on a favourite the games soundtrack is just awesome.

4. First profession you played?

Ranger, its Frigg

5. First race you played?

Asura, its Frigg

6. Favorite Destiny’s Edge character?

Zojja

7. Favorite Dragon’s Watch character?

Rytlock. He’s an idiot, and not actually the character I like the most, but I think he’s a great character. I also want to say that Faren should be an honorary member of DW

8. Favorite Elder Dragon?

Zhaithan. His design is just *chef kiss*

9. Best boss fight (story)?

Joko, obviously, loved to hate him

10. Best boss fight (fractal)?

Its been ages since I last did a fractal. Uhhhh the molten Berserker and Firestorm is awesome

11. Best boss fight (raid)?

Only one I ever fought was Vale Guardian. From what I saw in videos Samarog really cought my eye.

12. PvE or PvP or RP?

Never actively played PvP, I really don’t enjoy it. PvE only casually, no fractals or raids or anything. I’ve been playing RP in a guild for five years now, and its definitely the thing I spent most time on. (though now that the guild is disbanded I don’t play actively anymore)

13. Favorite canon couple?

Caithe and Faolain. Its interesting to me. Its an absolutely horrible relationship, but its interesting.

15. Favorite quote?

“Commander, a word” just sends a jolt of happyness through me everytime I hear it.

“We'll have no more words, Tyrian. Only death.” from Balthasar was nice as well.

A lot of Joko’s dialogue is obviously up there

16. Most emotional cinematic?

Seeing Zhaithan fall down into the ruins of Arah. Such a sweet victory.

17. Favorite VA?

Zojja’s VA, Phlunt also. Basically any asura. (Though I have to note that I’ve only semi recently changed the voice to english. The german dub is really good, and I actually enjoy the asura voices in german more)

18. Post a fun screenshot!

They certainly won’t recognize you Eir!

19. Post a landscape screenshot!

A landscape screenshot? My folder has about 800 of those! (250 of those are just screens of Asura Buildings. Don’t worry, it was just a phase)

But this one is one of my best!

20. Most used mount(s)?

Jackal most likely. I have all but the Warclaw, but rarely use them outside of PoF and later areas.

21. Favorite mount skin (for every mount you have)?

I don’t have any mount skins except for the ones I got today from the supply drop thing I impulse bought despite the fact that I rarely play currently. I also don’t really look at the skins so I can’t say that I have favorites.

From the two licenses today I got the primordial raptor and the exo suit roller beetle

22. Favorite weapon?

This is a hard one. I’d say Cobalt, for the simple reason that it was the first exotic I dropped and used for a long while. I still have the original cobalt in Frigg’s inventory.

23. Favorite gear set?

I really like the carapace armors. all three of them

24. Favorite title?

Honorary Skritt and Storyteller of Orr

25. Something you worked really hard to get?

I have the first stage of the Claw of Khan Ur legy, and that first step alone was enough work to put me off building legendarys alltogether. I love the collections they did for the gen 1s and some of the later collections of those sound fun as heck, but the amount of mats involved means I’ll never do them.

27. Most used miniature?

Mini Snow Owl because that way I can have both of Frigg’s pets out at once. (I also have the mini whiptail devourer so I can switch around, though I usually run with knibbles as the actual pet)

28. Most used novelty?

Embiggening Tonic to make my Norn as big as they actually are.

29. Number of achievments points?

11.873

30. Something you’d love to see in GW2?

Honestly I’m just looking forward to the coming expansion maps where they don’t expect you to have mounts anymore. I know the vistas are intended that you jump up there with the springer, but it still feels like cheating.

Last night. Your stomach in knots. His lips against yours. How quiet everything became. How loud your heat was. Why did he have this effect on you?

“Y/N?” Petyr called out to you.

“Sorry, I’m here,” you said pushing back your hair. “Last night was productive.”

“Tell me about it,” Petyr leaned against his desk. He donned a collared shirt and dress pants which was casual for him. He scratched his almost clean shaven face. Daylight broke through the windows.

“He told me that he has no control or knowledge on the list,” you explained. You leaned back in the chair. Your pajama shorts were comfortable. “Domeric Bolton has exclusive control over the list. Ramsay has his own list.”

“Really? Why?”

“Ramsay explained it like this: whenever you want someone dead, you go to Domeric. Whenever you want someone to suffer, to be tortured, and beg for death, you go to Ramsay.” You watched Petyr twitch slightly.

“So, Ramsay his own list. That included that Lannister spy from the other night. Someone wanted him to be tortured to death. Did he give you any idea who?” You shook your head at him.

“No, he didn’t. He did tell me how he killed him. He poisoned him. It was a quick, painful poison. He wasn’t proud of it, but he was under a time crunch. He needed it done quickly.”

“Poison? A quick acting one. Hm, okay,” Petyr reacted. “What else happened?”

“He told me he didn’t trust me first because I work for you. Both of them do not trust you even in the slightest,” you said. Petyr chuckled. “Roose Bolton is an intelligent man. He is right to not trust me. Ramsay told you a lot considering he said he didn’t trust you.”

“I gained his trust,” you said. “I told him how you found me.”

“In Las Vegas?”

“Yes,” you looked down. The memory was still painful.

“That young man you were with didn’t know who he was dealing with,” Petyr frowned. “You could’ve been hurt. I’m surprised that nothing happened to you before.”

“I told you. Gang members protect their friends. I happened to be friends with a lot of them,” you sighed. “It’s all over now though.”

“It still affects you,” Petyr kneeled down to you, trying to get a good look at you. “You know I care about my birds. You are one of my favorites.”

“What’s your point?” you didn’t want to be rude, but it was already out there.

“I have been putting you through a lot and for good reason. I have an opportunity this afternoon. I don’t want to spoil anything just yet, but it could mean a lot for all of us. You have worked very hard, and I haven’t been too kind about it. I have been ignoring your needs. My point is, do you want to go to therapy again?”

The thought of therapy felt bizarre. You remembered the one on one talking with the doctor. She didn’t judge you or question your decisions. Her advice and exercises helped, but it was the drugs. Like a lot of people, anti-depressants were touch and go with you. They helped you sleep at night and feel somewhat normal some days. Other days you felt numb again.

“I don’t know,” you said.

“Are you depressed? Have I been putting too much on you?”

“No, I’m fine. I’m okay,” you said to him. “Who do I have today?”

“Mr. Kress,” Petyr didn’t even look at his schedule. “He wasn’t happy when I moved his regular appointment, but then I reminded him that you are not his girlfriend and that he pays me for you. Remind him of that fact if he does anything or that sort tonight.”

Mr. Kress was the same. He was always the same. He came. He complained about his wife. He drank too much of the wine, and he complained again. You pondered if any of his money made him truly happy. He made a lot of it, but it seemed he wasn’t happy with anything but you. Did he complain about you to other people? Did other people know of his affair with you?

You felt your phone vibrate. Ramsay: [Is he with you now?]

You: [Yes, he’s doing the same thing again.]

Ramsay: [The same thing?]

You: [He’s complaining on and on and on. I’m so over it. He should divorce his wife already. Date a playboy bunny. Or something.]

Ramsay: [How long has been your client?]

You: [A little over a year. Most clients of mine don’t last this long. They move on to different girls.]

Ramsay: [Any idea why he’s obsessed with you?]

You: [No, I wish he wasn’t.]

“Y/N?” Mr. Kress said, catching your attention. You quickly put your phone back in your lap.

“Yes?”

“Who are you texting?”

“What? I’m not texting anyone, Mr. Kress. It’s only you and me,” you smiled, showing your teeth.

“What was the last thing I said?” He questioned.

“You were saying that your wife’s book club is becoming a nuisance. That her friends and their Oprah-approved books are putting ideas in her head,” you learned long ago how to listen to men and let your mind wander. Mr. Kress sat there with his mouth open. “Is there something wrong?”

“No, I just didn’t think you were-, sorry,” Mr. Kress apologized. He continued on.

Ramsay: [Does he fuck you?]

You: [That’s a rude question. But yes he does.]

Ramsay: [How is he?]

You: [Bad. He only focuses on his own pleasure. I don’t care though.]

Ramsay: [That’s sad. Sex should make people happy.]

You: [Sex is a paycheck to me. I don’t need to be happy.] You lifted your head and nodded at Mr. Kress’ new topic of conversation, his co-workers, he hated that some Hector Lannister got a promotion before him. You wanted to explain to him how things really worked with any Lannister, but it would be fruitless. Your phone vibrated again.

Ramsay: [I could make you happy.]

You felt your heart skip a beat. Your face went red and you quickly covered your face.

“Y/N?” Mr. Kress chuckled. “It’s not that awful. I will get a promotion. They need me there. No need to feel embarrassed for me.”

“I’m sorry,” you muttered. “I still find it awful that higher ranked Lannisters don’t recognize your obvious talent and intelligence.” Your phone vibrated again.

Ramsay: [Can you sneak out tonight? After you’re done with him?]

You: [Good timing  We’ll be done soon. We’re about to go the bed.]

Ramsay: [I’m leaving now. See you soon, babygirl.]

The bed rocked back and forth. You heard it creak under the combined weight of you and Mr. Kress. The rhythm was off. The room was quiet except for your breathing. But it didn’t matter. No matter how awkward it felt, it did not matter.

He was on his way. He was coming to you. You could see him again. Talk to him. Kiss him again. No, you shouldn’t kiss him. He wasn’t a client. Yes, yes he was. He paid for you. Why it did matter? His lips felt so warm. In those moments, everything felt so right. It felt so good.

He killed people for a living. He likes it. He knows how to kiss you. He called you babygirl.

He was complicated.

You watched Mr. Kress leave in his car. His obnoxiously Dodge Challenger drove out of the gates of the Bird Cage. You flew from the window and back to your closet. You slipped on a tiny red dress. A red dress so small that your mother wouldn’t let you out of the house in it. It made you feel dangerously attractive.

Slipping out of your room was easy. The hallway was carpeted. No one would hear your footsteps. At one end of the hallway was Vanessa’s room. She’s never there during nights. Her clients like to take her places and buy her things. At the opposite end was another stairway. You took that stairway down to bar area.

When there wasn’t any parties, Petyr used the bar area to let birds meet new clients and get acquainted. Next to the bar was the hallway to get to the back door. All you had to do is get through the bar without notice.

You snuck behind the bar, ducking under so no one could see you. You semi-crawled through and you saw Killian the bartender give you a weird look.

“Hiding from a client,” you explained. He nodded and went on his way. You continued on. You ducked again under the counter and escaped into the hallway. You cleared the bar area, but then you heard Petyr’s voice. You looked to your left. A closet. Perfect. You hid inside the closet and waited.

“And here, my lady is our kitchen area,” Petyr guided an unfamiliar woman through the hallway. She looked as old as Petyr. Her eyes had the beginnings of wrinkles on them. Her hair was red and in one single braid down her back. She wore a simple dress with a scarf around her neck. Her purse was attached to her side.

“This is a chef’s kitchen. You have a kitchen staff here?” she said, walking into the kitchen. You were about to go, but then you saw someone else follow them. A younger man. He had on a collared shirt with jeans. He paid no attention to anything, but the game console in his hands. You heard various sounds and beeps. He followed them into the kitchen as well.

You quietly walked out and shut the closet door behind you. You could still hear their voices in the kitchen.

“This is very nice. I’m impressed, Petyr,” she said, linking her arm with his. “I imagine you have magnificent feasts made here.”

“I do. They don’t say I throw amazing parties for nothing,” Petyr laughed. “So you like it?”

“I do! Well, I like this part of the house,” she went on. “I don’t like the rest.” Her face turned into a scowl. As if she saw a beetle on the ground, crawling towards her.

“Lysa, you must understand. This is my business. These girls mean a lot to me,” Petyr said. Lysa? Why did that name sound so familiar?

“These girls are also immoral, unreligious, and spoiled,” you took offense to her words. You wanted to give her a piece of your mind, but you held yourself back.

“You don’t know them, Lysa. I promise you, some of these girls are the sweetest things you will ever meet, especially Vanessa. I think you’ll find her taste is very similar to yours,” Petyr explained. He always defended you to anyone who spoke ill of you. Petyr never let someone else call his birds sluts and get away with it. You watched Lysa touch Petyr again. Her hands were all over him.

“Alright, if you say so,” she gave him a peck on the cheek and you swore you saw Petyr twitch. You snuck past them and went through the back door.

The summer winds kicked up and you felt the cold breeze go through your dress. You crossed your arms to bring yourself some kind of warmth. You walked along the property and turned the corner.

There, at the side of the building, was Ramsay’s black lamborghini. You walked towards it. He must have seen you because the next thing you knew he got out of his car and ran to you. His hands grabbed you at your sides. His lips crashed against yours again. He put so much force into the kiss that you both backed up to the side of the building. His hands gripped your hips.

Your hands gripped the fabric of his shirt. You kissed him back with as much force as you could muster. He separated from you and chuckled.

“Hello Y/N,” he darkly chuckled.

“Hello Ramsay,” you greeted. You felt the tension build up again, and you kissed him first. Your tongue begged for entrance into his mouth. He let you in and let you control the kiss—for a couple of seconds. He forced you back into the wall. His tongue went into your mouth without any warning. He explored in your mouth and in your hair. His hands gripped and pulled at your hair. It hurt, but it felt good. Everything felt so good. It was a hot rhythm.

You separated from him this time. His face still close to yours. Your fingers played with his, but you didn’t hold his hands.

“How are you? Was the drive easy?” you said first, breaking the silence. Ramsay nodded.

“Yeah, everything was fine. I had a day off today,” he commented.

“Oh? And what does a hired assassin do on his day off?” you teased.

“I text the prettiest girl I know,” he smiled at you and you felt your face heat up. “I also did a lot of thinking today. About you. About this.”

“What about it?”

“I’m not like this. Not with anyone else. I mean, I’ve had girlfriends. I’ve had lovers, but no one like you,” Ramsay explained. His fingers continuing to play with yours. “After I left here last night, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I wanted to do it again so bad.”

“Me too,” you confessed. You watched Ramsay smile and then bite his lip. He shook his head and his face became serious.

“I know what you are. I know what you do, so be honest with me. I don’t like liars.”

“I know.” Ramsay took a breath.

“If I told you how I felt about you, do you think you would feel the same?” he asked. The words slowly sinked in.

“Ramsay, you do realize—

“I know you’re not allowed to have a boyfriend,” he interrupted you. “I know you are not allowed to date anyone outside of your clients. But, there’s nothing in your job contract that says you can’t have feelings for anyone.”

“How do you know what my job contract is?” you asked, eyes brows raised.

“You don’t want to know,” he said. “It’s not important. What’s important is that I can’t ignore what’s been happening. I can’t stop thinking about you, Y/N. Are you doing this on purpose?” You felt your heart sink.

“You think I’m trying to trick you into having feelings for me?” Ramsay stood silently.

“Seeing what you do I don’t know what’s real and what’s not. All I know is that I wanted to kiss you so badly all day today and I didn’t know if you wanted the same thing,” Ramsay put his hand against the wall and let it rest there, almost trapping you between the wall and him.

“Ramsay, I can’t be your girlfriend,” you said.

“I’m not asking that,” he responded. “I’m asking if you want the same things as I do. I’m asking Y/N if she wants me, not the pretty bird that flies in her cage day after day.” It was hard. You couldn’t admit it to him, but you missed him when he didn’t text you. You waited all day for him to kiss you like that again.

But, the fact remains. You were Petyr’s bird. You couldn’t belong to anyone. It wasn’t up to you, you had a contract to follow.

“I don’t know,” you said.

“What does that mean?”

“I can’t be—

“That’s not what I asked. Do you want me?”

“Yes,” you finally said it aloud. “I want you. I wanted to kiss me like that all day long.” It felt good telling him the truth. Ramsay smiled and leaned forward. He kissed you gently this time.

“Then it’s settled,” he said. “Consider me your new regular client then.”
