MORE BALD MEN ANGST!!!!!
Tumblr media
Even though 096 has more to himself than how 106 perceives him, it's hard to actually express all of the pain and suffering he went through; he thought that he deserved to be a monster because he was killing people for practically "no reason."
Tumblr media
However, he eventually realizes the pain he went through was but the product of his overwhelming fear: the fear that his recognition would cost him his life.
And despite desperately trying not to die, he couldn't find a way they could kill him; It became so prevailing that he couldn't shake the anger and horror of being seen.
It became his calling card against his will. It brought the threat to him. It brought his misfortune and rage on a rusted platter and force fed it to him.
Now he just wants to finally escape and find his home in the mountains where nobody would find him ever again.
Tumblr media
It was unfair for a monster like 106 to perceive him as a monster too, as he believes he had a plausible reason and 106 didn't.
He decides to call the old man out for the bullshit, knowing that this close stranger had offered nothing but torture and pain, and never a single tear for the innocent who suffered.
That couldn't stop the attachment formed from this interaction, as not only was 096 emotionaly raw and vulnerable, seething with anger and grief of all of those who mistreated him, reaching to prove 106 wrong; but 106 learned not to bring something so burdening and claim that they both wanted to handle it.
Lessons were learned during that unfaithful breach.
(Oh and also the attachment would probably distress 096 even more because even though he doesn't have the innate murderous response to 106, he associated eye contact with something horrible happening a long time ago.)

... why he sit like this
#in this position his face is extremely 'cartoon cat' shaped.. like the perfectly round cheeks and little#rounded bump of a snout.. big round eyes. etc. stretched over the arm of a chair like a weirdo#cats#It's still Hot Evil Summer time and I have so much to do so am just aimlessly hopping between various projects but not actually#getting anything done. as usual. Also so so so so tired. I almost fell asleep in the middle of the floor like 3 times today lol#Trying to finish some costume photos and also another poll adventure thing. plus I do really want to do a sculpture sometime#I haven't finished one in a while. Hopefully my tiredness is nothing bad.#Maybe I'm anemic again so that's making me tired. Or maybe it's just a Listless phase. not that I'm ever really THAT productive considering#all of the health problems and etc. always holding me back. but still. I'm not usually 'sleep or just stare at a wall literally all day' ty#e unproductive.. at least not for multiple days in a row so. hmm... Sometimes especially in the summer though I will have periods of time#that are listless like that. I am under low level phyiscal stress for months at a time due to summer heat so I guess it makes sense#that would eventually take a toll. I just have SO MANY THINGS I WANT TO DO!!!!! AAUUGhhh#I also came up with a new idea for a game that is so so cool and I wish I could make it but I have to finish the other one first lol#which I will NEVER do. if I spend all day just sleepy unfocused barely able to do anything#I also really need to sell some clothes and sculptures because I'll probably have to buy a new computer soon so I need money. (plus still#recovering the costs of having to euthanize my other cat.. wehh) There's nothing clearly wrong with it right now but it's getting gradually#slower and there's more weird glitches happening randomly and idk.. just weird things that make me think 'hmm... bad.. possibly.'#ANYWAY... I just have so much to do that I both REALLY want or need to do - so it's perpetually frustrating that I just can't for whatever#reason like. Time is always mving forward. every day I waste is a wasted day. The year is already almost half over. I havent finished#any of the projects I wanted to .. and there's only more and more things to do each day. It's overwhelming and stinky#and thats not even considering having to do all of my tasks also with the background noise of economic inequality. everything increasingly#going into an even scarier political direction. active climate change crisis. pandemic that still exists and is insane to act otherwise. et#etc. HOW am I supposed to solo make two whole games . write 3 book series. finish sculptures. do costumes. make outfits. game videos. make#stable network of social connections. do my little side crafts. take care of myself and cats. pay rent. manage health issues. keep a routin#.try to make some sort of money. go to doctors appointments. handle regular maintenance like cleaning and cooking and self care#and buying new plates when old ones break or etc. make sure to do other things like backup my computer data regularly. do shopping lists.#take care of plants. pursue like 6 different academic interests. do the other side side projects I have for fun (like music or carving avoc#ado pits). eat in a healthy way thats okay for my Special Health Issue diet. exercise so i don't die early. etc. etc. etc. AND all while it#82F in my apartment all the time and I have tiny income and also need to move to another country/climate somehow??? lol......#ANYWAY.. ..very frustrated today over my chronic Tired Sleepy.. time for Cat Photos - which cure all of life's ailments lol

((Love it whenever I make "canon divergent" headcanons (compared to the rest of fanon/anything implied so far) for a muse of mine, only for the devs to confirm a number of them being closer to canon.
Didn't even have to ask, either.))

I was in a weird mood yesterday so I started reading Justice League 3000. I don't know why I picked it over literally any other comic in existence. It was bad, my boy Flash just kept dying. I have a soft spot for that guy, Wally was my fave when I watched the cartoons and that was my first contact with superheroes. Technically the guy in this comic was Barry, but whatever, to me Flash is Flash. There's so many Flashes! It didn't really matter in this comic anyway. And he kept dying. And then got morphed with another character who died so basically she had Flash powers now. Upsetting. She looked nice tho.
I didn't like this dark, kinda dystopian future it was set in. I'm a Star Trek fan, I love when the future is bright and full of hope! But the art was nice. And I love how Booster and Beetle appeared by the end to walk around, beat up a guy who was using old Beetle tech he found (they failed) and then they were sent to the Evils Lair on The Evile Planet. Never to be heard from again. Kinda iconic of them tbh. Seriously, as much as I love those guys, what the fuck were they even doing there??? I have no clue but they were cute. Seems like in newer comics that's the only thing they have going for them, huh? Gotta read more to see. I hope I'm wrong.
In short, I finished 3000 today and didn't like it that much. I don't know if I'll pick up 3001, maybe someday, but not today. My iPad actually froze on me for the first time as I was reading this cursed comic (on a sketchy website) and gave me a big scare. So actually I definitely won't be picking up this series again. Very cursed, very weird.
I should've read the Justice Riders instead. Maybe I will, to cleanse my palette. There's always many comics to read, so one that I didn't like (I don't think I'd call it bad, it just wasn't what I like in a comic) won't deter me. I will keep on reading stuff and I will be optimistic about it. Thanks!

squid game characters in a relationship with you
saebyeok, thanos, namgyu, daeho, hyunju, semi, the recruiter
description: how squid game characters would be as partners (au; no mention of the games)
18+ minors dni
warnings: nsfw in parts!!
︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵
saebyeok:
♡ you were the one to ask her out and she quite literally didn't believe it
♡ like she didn't even answer you at first because she didn't think you were being serious
♡ she has a hard time expressing her emotions. you definitely said "i love you" first and it took her a while to feel comfortable saying it back
♡ despite this, she was the one who fell in love first. she just kept that shit to herself lmao
♡ rather than being outwardly affectionate with her words, she expresses her love through quality time. she loves planning dates for you or just cooking for you at home
♡ she's not big on pda, but she'll wrap a protective arm around you while you're out together
♡ if someone hits on you, she'll get even more protective. partly out of jealousy, but mostly because she hates the thought of someone making you uncomfortable
♡ she's a generous lover. def more of a giver if you know what i mean
ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚.˚◦○˚ ୧ .˚ₓ
thanos:
♡ he was the one to approach you, and he was bold about it too
♡ you aren't his first partner by any means, but you're his first real love
♡ he looooves to show you off. "look at my baby. look how lucky i got."
♡ naturally, this means he's into pda. the more eyes on the two of you, the better. he wants the whole world to know you're his
♡ especially if someone shows interest in you... then he gets even more touchy, so he can rub it in their face that you're his, all his
♡ if anyone wrongs you, he'll vow to make their life a living hell. you can't even gossip about your work drama to him without him getting angry on your behalf and threatening to kill them
♡ even though he talks a big game he knows he's lowk a loser and he doesn't take it for granted that you choose to stay by his side
♡ that being said he makes you his bitch in bed. he's for sure heavily on the dominant side
♡ he also has an exhibitionism kink i just feel that in my bones
ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚.˚◦○˚ ୧ .˚ₓ
namgyu:
♡ he was the one to make a move on you, but he said it in a joking manner so that if you said no, he could play it off as not being serious
♡ this man's love language is physical touch there's no doubt about it
♡ his words don't match his actions.. like he'll make fun of you for crying during a movie while simultaneously cuddling you and rubbing your back
♡ he doesn't have any cute pet names for you, just insults said in a loving manner ("stinky" etc). he just can't take himself seriously enough to be sappy
♡ you've unlocked his secret second love language, which is sending you memes
♡ he wants to be seen as tough so he pretends to hate it when you call him cute (he does not, in fact, hate it) (it actually melts him)
♡ he gives the evil eye to anyone who dares to look at you for a second too long
♡ you are for his eyes only
♡ he's dominant in bed but he likes you bratty. he wants to work for it
ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚.˚◦○˚ ୧ .˚ₓ
daeho:
♡ you had known him for a while, and you had to be the one to ask him out because he was oblivious to all the hints you were dropping
♡ he was too much of a gentleman to risk overstepping your boundaries by asking you on a date
♡ however, once he had the confirmation that you actually liked him, he was all in
♡ he was absolutely the first one to say "i love you". that man fell head over heels
♡ he is patient as fuck and will put up with whatever bullshit you throw at him. like when you tested the orange peel theory on him and he passed with flying colors
♡ you literally have a pet boyfriend. he'll go anywhere with you and do anything to make you happy. your fav himbo <3
♡ he's prone to jealousy but tries not to show it so as not to make a scene in front of you. if someone hurts you, though, all etiquette goes out the window and he's ready to start SWINGING
♡ your pleasure is his priority in bed and he's up for whatever you're into, but when it comes to his preferences, he'd much rather be dominated by you
♡ call him a good boy and his brain will go haywire
ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚.˚◦○˚ ୧ .˚ₓ
hyunju:
♡ you definitely had to make the first move. this mf was way too stoic to express her feelings for you
♡ she got anxious and cancelled on you before your first date, so you had to be persistent and reschedule
♡ she was surprised by your strong interest in her, and she still doesn't know how she got so lucky
♡ it took her a bit to open up, but she ended up saying "i love you" first
♡ she's extremely protective of you. her introversion is forgotten as soon as someone upsets you, and she's giving them a piece of her mind within seconds
♡ she doesn't really get jealous, she just gets sad :(
♡ she's an acts of service girly. she'll vacuum your floor, change a flat tire for you, anything to feel useful to you
♡ she gives stone top energy (this one is more for an f!reader as it's a wlw term)
ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚.˚◦○˚ ୧ .˚ₓ
semi:
♡ she was the one to ask you out, and she said it so casually that you almost missed it
♡ her first "i love you" was also casual, said as she was leaving your house one morning. "bye, love you."
♡ you honestly don't know if she's prone to jealousy because no one has fucked around and found out. everyone around you two respects her quiet confidence and doesn't even bother trying anything with you
♡ she has strong opinions, but she expresses them calmly. because of this, the two of you never fight, though you do occasionally have respectful debates. you tend to walk away feeling like she was in the right after all
♡ she's not huge on pda unless it's something cute and lowkey like holding hands, or some stupid shit like licking you
♡ you def have a secret handshake
♡ she's a soft dom and she's not shy about wanting to receive. she wants you on your knees in front of her
♡ with that said, she also gives great head. that lip piercing..... iykyk
ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚.˚◦○˚ ୧ .˚ₓ
the recruiter:
♡ he asked you out at a bar, making a bet that if you lost at pool, you'd go on a date with him
♡ you lost on purpose so his fine ass would take you on a date, and the rest was history
♡ he said he loved you first, and he said it fast. it's not often that he feels love for someone, so he had to act on it
♡ he would do anything for you. anything. if you asked him for help burying a body, he'd tell you not to get your pretty hands dirty; he'd do it himself
♡ not that that would happen... but he's thought about it. he knows that's how dedicated he is to you
♡ this freaky little fuck doesn't feel an iota of jealousy when others flirt with you. he just smiles, knowing know matter how much they fight for your attention, it'll be his name you're screaming at the end of the night
♡ he likes to be in control in life, and that translates to the bedroom too
♡ he has big sadist energy, but if he ever actually crosses a line he'll drop everything to comfort you (and beat himself up about it)

“It's Firefox! Say Hello Firefox!”
Tumblr media
Firefox remains loafed
“Hello there little criminal, what evil deeds are you planning today, huh?”
“Don't say that. He's a good citizen, right Ángel?”
“He knows what he did.”
“I thought kitties hated travelling, but he looks pretty cozy in there”
“Ah, he's used to it. When I first adopted him, I felt too bad leaving a little kitten alone while going for a case so…”
Tumblr media
“I took him with me!”
“What”
“Ooh I could take my ham-ham in adventures!”
“You took a kitten to your cases?!”
“Not the dangerous ones! I wouldn't put a baby in the middle of a drug bust!”
“Although…”
Tumblr media
“Let's stop that train of thought and let's focus on the real train, yeah?”
“Here, I'll give him the sippies. You gave him his sleepy food, right?”
“Yeah, he should be sleeping like a baby the whole ride”
Tumblr media
Although… Oliver might've gotten a bit scared over the warnings in the back and miiight have lowered the dose a good bit.
But Mozilla is a good boy! He might wake up a bit earlier, but he’ll behave! For the most part.
How could a little face like that commit crimes? They are judging him for his orangeness. 
Also. They’ll have no proof. He’ll make sure of it.
“We're going back home, buddy! Dad was so mean by not bringing your stroller, right? So so so mean!”
“I am not his father. We are soul bounded creatures”
“And yet, you didn't bring his stroller”
“I'm not going to walk him in this heat!”
“He wanted to, though. I saw his longing looks. He craves adventure, you raised him this way”
“You influenced him to do crime”
“Not to interrupt your parenting discussion, but the others arrived”
Tumblr media
And as the prophecy foretold, there they arrived. In all their high-class elegance.
Thankfully, Ángel has been supplying him with quality clothing, so he doesn't feel like he sticks out. Too much. 
“Mari! Nina! It's been too long! Online game nights are just not the same! Have you been okay? Sick?”
“We’ve been alright! Not a single germ got pass Mari!”
“Which also means this is our first real trip in so long. I’m ready to do nothing but sit down and drink everything this thing has to offer”
“Speaking of, how’s my baby. My darling. My sweet child”
“Your company is fine. It aged me 10 years to untangle the strange contracts between you and your father, but it’s better now”
“Ah, that old man. Haunting us from beyond the grave, not surprised”
“I think most of it was yours…”
“How has university life been treating you, Nina?”
“Oh, It’s great! They actually keep quiet during class and don’t throw paint everywhere! They even wash their hands!”
“Wow, the wonders of early adulthood. I’m guessing you haven’t got any lice now?”
“None at all!”
Tumblr media
Nina’s ring shines in her finger. For someone who’s not the one who got married, he gets happy seeing it.
It’s… hopeful. In what way he’s not sure.
“You.”
“Hewwo. It’s been a while”
“Why did it take you so long to confirm you were coming? I almost gave away your ticket!”
“Sorryyy I had things to sort through! I’m a busy girlie”
“You are a menace”
“Don’t be mean to her! She has a demanding job”
Tumblr media
“Stinky”
“No!”
“Stinky bastard girl”
“No!!!”
“I’ve been waiting. For so long. To continue the campaign. Amaia’s arc is more important than your job”
“Hey!”
“You raise a good point”
Good to know they’re having fun.

Tumblr media
Out of four consecutive Disney Villains that were defined by plot twists regarding them, I've often thought: what made Turbo and the Cybug he merged with in Wreck-It Ralph work out so well and deliver a villain so infinitely stronger than the villains that followed? I'd concluded that mostly it was because Turbo got to be around as an active and characterized antagonist as King Candy and the twisty nature of his villainy was more comparable to Judge Doom than following the Stinky Pete, Henry J. Waternoose, and Lyle T. Rourke route of only being revealed as a villain in the third act and getting to be actively antagonistic for a limited time while taking on drastically different characterization than before like the later Twist Villains (or in Bellwether's case, in only the final minutes of the third act!).
But there was something else too, and it recently struck me.
Hans, Callaghan, and Bellwether all adhere to basically the exact same formula, with only the specifics of their roles differing due to each movie being a different type of story - Frozen is a fantasy adventure-thriller, Big Hero 6 is a superhero story, and Zootopia is a buddy cop mystery. The formula is that not only is the villain introduced as a friendly character in the first act and ultimately shows their true villainous self in the third act, but during the story there's another villainous character thrown at the viewer to serve as the red herring. In Frozen, it's the Duke of Weselton. In Big Hero 6, it's Allister Krei. And in Zootopia, it's Mayor Lionheart. All of these characters seem more like the sort of villains you'd typically expect to pop up in stories of these films' natures, radiating such obvious evil energy that the viewer is naturallly meant to have their suspicions drawn to them rather than the unassuming nice person who turns out to be the real villain of the piece. I'd argue it worked best when first tried in Frozen because the Duke ended up having absolutely nothing to do with the main conflict or how it got resolved, his main contribution being to tell two men to be prepared to kill Elsa at one point and that's it: he was a red herring in the purest sense. With Krei and Lionheart afterwards, they both had increased prominence in the narrative, the former being responsible for what drove Callaghan into grief-stricken, vengeful supervillainy, and the latter at first being Bellwether's boss and actually serving as a secondary antagonist in the plot with his unethical captures and coverups in response to Bellwether's Night Howler conspiracy. And they both are such obvious suspects for being behind evildoing even in-story that it loops around to becoming obviously NOT the true culprits at all. (Not helping is how both the Duke of Weselton and Allister Krei are voiced by Alan Tudyk, at the time still most known for King Candy/Turbo!)
Whereas with Turbo, I think it was so effective because it was sort of flipped around. The story was leading us to look at King Candy as the red herring or ultimately just the diversion, continuing to remind us that the Cybug that Ralph accidentally brought with him into Sugar Rush was lurking below and breeding, which we knew could become a true threat to the game and to the whole arcade world given the way Calhoun talked the Cybugs up. Even when Felix goes into the backstory of "Going Turbo", we're not really linking that to what's currently going on with King Candy, who we at that point had not been given reason to think is anyone but who he appears to be, and King Candy's such a silly, whimsical doofus of an antagonist that we suspect he'll amount to nothing more than food for the Cybugs. How King Candy goes on to manipulate Ralph and the revelation about him as a usurper turns our perspective of him on its head as is, but then it's revealed he's not just any usurpeeeer - he's Turbo! This on its own makes him that much more villainous, but then still we get the kicker: Turbo gets eaten by the lead Cybug, just as we might've predicted would befall him....and his code overwrites the Cybug from within, making him even more dangerous and malicious than ever! So while the Cybugs do indeed become the endgame threat, they're also used as the actual diversion to get you not looking harder at King Candy and figuring out both his true identity and his true nature as the primary, most menacing villain in this story. It is ingenious.
Pulling off a Twist Villain is easy. It takes a lot more thought, skill, style and polish to pull off a Turbo-Tastic villain as Wreck-It Ralph did.

pumpkins, movie nights and a halloween party - autumn and spooky season headcanons (remastered) 🦇🎃💀
bc not writing anything to honor one of my favourite seasons and holidays would be a crime.
spooky season is one of your favourites
anything witchy and slightly shudder-inducing causes massive increases in your general happiness
so in true witchy fashion
Mor, Feyre and you decide that it will only truly be beginning of spooky season once you have carved jack'o'lanterns
you argue you can use them for Rhys's big annual Halloween party -
but really, you just want to carve pumpkins and make a mess
and so, the first week of October you meet at the flat
Feyre brings the pumpkins in two big wooden crates the two of you lug up the stairs
you have ordered a bunch of sharp knives for the occasion
and Mor brings drinks
tho, as she says as she places them on the counter with a meaningful eyebrow-raise
those are better left untouched until any activities including sharp objects are finished
"Huh."
You raise your head, and Mor squints.
"Is it me... or does this guy look a little more like Vlad the Impaled?"She turns her pumpkin, and both Feyre and you cackle. Mor grins and wiggles her brows.
You're sitting in the kitchen, the big table covered with a picknick blanket to protect the wood from the big bowls with stinky gourd intestines. Candles are flickering in the window, the speakers are connected to Feyre's phone and playing some halloween playlist, and there are mugs with steaming hot chocolate standing in front of all of you.
Feyre and Mor are perched on the couch, your best friend squinting in focus while Mor's tongue sticks out the corner of her mouth in concentration. You're sitting on one of the chairs, one leg pulled up as you happily saw a grimace into the pumpkin in front of you. You're going for a traditional evil grin. Feyre is carving some intricate side profile of a witch with a crooked hat, and Mor is winging it.
The front door opens, and you hear three pairs of heavy footsteps and the shuffle of jackets being shed. But you only raise your head once you hear Cassian's deep, familiar voice.
"Hello la-", he breaks off mid sentence and sniffles, his charming grin melting into a grimace. "The fuck -"
Rhys pushes past him, nose crunched as he heads for the window. "God, it stinks in here."
"Eh,", all three of you echo, brows crunched in focus.
"Who thought it was a good idea to supply you three with sharp knives?" Cassian leans into the doorframe, smirking lazily as he crosses his arms, and Mor raises her head, slowly beginning to smile sweetly.
"Why...?" She switches her grip on her knife to prop the handle onto the table and smiles brighter and wider, and there's a soft, amused huff that makes you raise your head again.
Azriel pushes past Cassian, one corner of his lips twitching as he throws his best friend a look.
"Dug yourself right into that one."
Your breath catches at the sight of your boyfriend. His hair is tousled from the wind outside, his shoulders straining against his t-shirt as he moves past Rhys.
Mor waves her knife at Cassian playfully, and you grin up at Azriel when he slowly comes to stand behind you. His hands close around the backrest, muscles shifting under his shirt, and straightening in your seat a little, you crane your neck to look up at him.
Your eyes find amber ones, warm in the flickering light of the candles, the golden specks twinkling in amusement when he lightly arches a brow at you, and your heart leaps happily.
You feel the muscles in Azriel's arms shift when you lean the back of your head against them and beam up at him. "Hi."
"Hi." Azriel's low, deep voice vibrates through you, slow and amused, and you feel your smile widen.
"They gave me a knife."
Somewhere to your left, Cassian begins to laugh, his shoulders shaking as his head falls back.
Azriel stares back down at you, and slowly, very slowly, a smirk spreads over his face, and your heart leaps against your ribs as a flutter rises in your chest at the sight of the creases in his cheeks and the lazy twinkle in his eyes.
"Yeah?" His warm, deep voice trickles down your spine, and you widen your eyes and whisper loudly: "Actually, I just took it."
"Oh, dear God." Rhys turns his eyes towards the ceiling exasperatedly, and Mor cackles while Feyre starts rolling with laughter.
You beam up at Azriel, and your breath hitches when his lips curve and he sends you a light wink.
the finished pumpkins are placed all over the flat and the balcony, with candles flickering inside every evening
it's the cue for the start of several movie nights
for the ones where it's only you and the boys, you hole up in one of your rooms
it's usually yours
(Cass claims it's bc it smells the nicest
Rhys usually retorts that bc you don't leave smelly socks lying around)
but also 9/10 times, the ambience in your bed room is just cosiest
you light candles and fairy lights
drag several blankets into your room
and turn your bed into one big cozy pit
on the nights where it's the whole gang
you usually make a sleepover of it
you and Cass turn the living room into one big cozy landscape
you push the couch table to the side, drag mattresses from your rooms and push them into between the couches
then you fill everything with pillows and blankets
since the colder months have started, Rhys and you spend even more time in the kitchen
you use every opportunity you have, and the movie nights aren't any different
so usually, the flat smells like apples, cinnamon and butter when Feyre and Mor arrive
the latter and Cass have claimed spots as designated taste testers for new recipes
which means most times, Mor makes a beeline for the kitchen, grinning and pressing a smacking kiss onto your cheek in greeting before giggling happily at the food
Feyre usually brings non-baking related snacks, for which Cassian hugs the shit out of her
she still doesn't look like she's used to that yet
then, as it gets dark outside, you all change into pyjamas and huddle up in the living room
it's usually a bit of scooching and wiggling until everyone is comfortable
sometimes, you and the girls all curl up on the mattresses on the floor, propped up and surrounded by dozens of pillows
the boys all stretched out on the couches, Cassian and Azriel kicking at each other in a fight for the big blanket
other times, Rhys and Cass claim the mattresses while Feyre and Mor huddle up on one couch and you end up curled against Azriel's chest
his scarred hand slipped under your hoodie, his chest warm and solid against your back and his chin dropped against your head
you playing with his fingers and huddling into your blanket happily, your heart thrumming
there are candles lit everywhere, the window sills, the dining table, the shelves
Rhys keeps everyone supplied with big mugs full of steaming hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream
bowls with snacks distributed and handed back and forth between you
the actual choice of movie depends of who gets to the remote the quickest
you watch some classics like hocus pocus or corpse bride on the nights one of you girls get your turn
when Cassian is quickest, you end up buried under a blanket between Mor and Feyre with only your noses peeking out while a full on horror movie plays in the back
it's got its funny moments
but most of the time, you're hiding your face against Mor's shoulder, flinching everytime she squeaks
for more spooky vibes, Mor drags you to a Halloween themed dinner she's been dying to go to for two years now in the second week of October
it's at a restaurant located in the old part of the city, with small crammed tables under big stone arches
the place went all in with the decorating, and the menu holds all kind of spooky takes
you're very impressed with the life-like spider cake
you can even choose from several witchy potions/drinks and "brew" them yourselves
safe to say, you have the time of your lives
Rhys takes you to a screening of some old black and white horror movie a couple of days later
you deck yourself with drinks and snacks and occupy two of the fancy velvet chairs in the last row
your legs thrown over Rhys's knees so his long legs have space and your giggles barely suppressed against his shoulder while Rhys grins and steals your popcorn
like every year, spooky season mounts in Rhys's big annual halloween party
this year, he has decided, after a quick vote, that the big annual halloween party will not actually be that big
read: you'll hold it at the flat
which means, it will still be one hell of a party
just a bit less fancy
and a few less people
...
which just means more exclusive and still with a shit ton of people
bc who are we kidding
Rhys will still go all in - he's just not in the mood of the hassle that comes with a pompous location
and a smaller party means that he gets to create a fancy buffet
you go shopping for decorations a week before Halloween
Rain is pattering against the window, the smell of coffee hanging in the air as you giggle under your breath and try to fight off Azriel's fork that keeps lazily swiping pieces of pancake from your plate. You've made them for breakfast, with caramelised apples that made Cass groan when he came in earlier to get his water bottle before leaving for the gym. Now you're sitting at the table, the sky outside dark and grey and Azriel opposite of you, steaming mugs in front of you and Azriel's plate empty.
"Hey, darling?"
You raise your head at the sound of Rhys's deep voice, and Azriel easily swipes a whole fork of pancake and apples from your plate. You curse softly, and Rhys sticks his head through the kitchen door.
"Are you busy today?"
You glare at your boyfriend who lounges in his chair, his lips curving as he chews slowly, a lazy crease forming in his cheek when he sends you a light wink.
You glower, and Azriel's eyes twinkle in the warm light like he's trying not to laugh.
There's the sound of fingers snapping, and when both you and Azriel tear your eyes away from each other and look towards the door, Rhys smirks and leans a shoulder against the door.
"You know, I was going to ask whether you wanted to come shop for decorations for the party, but looking at the two of you, how am I supposed to tear you apart?"
In unison, Az and you roll your eyes and flip him off.
Rhys grins until he looks like the Cheshire Cat. "Look at that, you even share the same brain cell..."
"Why is he so mean?", you grumble, digging into the last bit of your pancakes.
"Probably in heat,", Azriel mumbles under his breath, his lips twitching when Rhys snorts and you fall into a giggle fit.
"Okay, seriously, sweetheart; I could use your help." Rhys pushes off the doorframe.
"I mean,", you pick up your mug and shrug, "technically, you could use Az's help too, to carry stuff." Innocently, you blink over the rim of your cup.
Azriel's eyes narrow, and he starts to glower at you.
You feel your lips twitch. Then you look over towards the door, catching Rhys's gaze, and at the same time, you both start to grin.
"C'mon, Azzie boy." Rhys's smirk is positively wicked when he winks at his best friend. "Bet your girlfriend's gonna be very happy with you if you tag along..."
Azriel's grumpy glare would make most people cower.
With Rhys, it just makes his grin grow until it nearly splits his face as he raises his brows.
Azriel's scowl deepens, then his eyes flicker towards you. He looks like he's regretting it the same second, because you're beaming at him, wide and cheeky as you raise your brows.
"Please...?"
Rhys laughs, his head falling back and shoulders shaking, and Azriel glares at you.
Still, you're almost sure to see an amused flicker in his eyes when he rolls them.
safe to say, when you leave the flat half an hour later, Azriel is behind you, wearing a thick jacket over his hoodie and raising his brows at you when you beam up at him
you're definitely sure you see the corners of his lips twitching lightly tho
Mor comes too, bc she's a sucker for shopping
and bc you need her car
Rhys has located the best shops for decoration in town
you and Mor get excited over and over again, eyes widening and squeezing each other's hands whenever you spy something new
Azriel just trails after you, a faintly amused expression on his face while Rhys chuckles at your exciement
at the first store, you buy loads of fake spiderwebs and dozens of big black spiders
also an array of skulls and skeleton hands you can use for candle holders and the buffet
Mor scares the crap out of you when she uses one of the hands to gently scratch the back of your head when you're not looking
you nearly die, darting into Azriel's chest
and Mor cackles for five whole minutes
Azriel's is so obviously trying not to laugh that his eyes crinkle at the corners as you bury your face in his chest
Rhys doesn't even try
at the next store, you get a whole bunch of candles, a whole armada floating candles you can hang off the ceiling and a ridiculous amount of paper bats
you get a giggle fit when Mor holds one up next to Azriel's head and contemplates the uncanny resemblance
the glare Azriel levels her with would make the biggest man cower
Mor just grins widely
you also find mugs shaped like black cauldrons and wine glasses with stems like skeletal hands for the bar
after lunch, Rhys makes a pit stop to confirm the rental of a fog machine
the store he's going to rent it from is big and with a massive load of things to rent, like human sized skeletons and witches
Mor pretends to dramatically waltz through one of the wide aisles, pulling you with her until you fall into fits of giggles
Azriel watches, dimple digging into his cheeks and eyes twinkling
Rhys decides to rent some spotlights as well to really make the fog shine and half a dozen of the big skeletons
then you're on your way again
Mor's car is pretty stuffed already at this point, but you make two more stops
at the first, you get a massive assortment of funkily shaped bottles and some stuff for the buffet
at the second, you buy table cloth, witches hats and some fake ravens
a couple of days later, Rhys and you go shopping for the food
you visit several supermarkets to get everything for the dozens of snacks he has planned, all spookily on theme
your pinterest has been great help when it comes to inspiration
you also get a massive amount of booze for the bar, including loads of glittering ones, a huge load of crushed ice and stuff for spooky garnish
the day before the party, Rhys and you spend in the kitchen
you make a little pre-party of it, with music and hot cider as you prepare most of the snacks
little spider cakes inspired by your and Mor's dinner, mummy sausage in a blanket, pomegranate chocolate skulls, candied apples that look like they might poison you if you try them, chocolate ghosts, monster munch popcorn -
the amount of candy eyeballs and melted marshmallows for webs you use is concerning
Feyre drops by in the late afternoon
Rhys flirts so unabashedly that after only ten minutes she's glaring at him while her cheeks are gleaming with a blush
but he doesn't seem deterred in the slightest
on the contrary
his grin only widens whenever she huffs at him
but you haven't invited her to play cupid (at least not solely)
while you and Rhys start filling the bottles you bought and cleaned with the varieties of alcohol, pimping some with some edible glitter
Feyre starts writing the etiquettes
everything gets a new, spookier, more witchy name, the actual name of the booze scribbled in the corner in Feyre's ornate handwriting
there's witch's tears, fairie's breath, dragon's flame, vampire venom -
she even draws little sketches on the labels before charring the edges of the thick paper and glueing them to the bottles accordingly
then she writes some spooky recipe suggestions you have found on instagram on the same kind of paper, drawing little doodles of ghosts, witches and cats all around them
witches' brew, midnight margaritas, ecto martini, vampire's dinner -
the options are endless
if there's anything you've learned from last year
it's to not leave the costume until a week before the party
even though it will be a smaller affair than the last one, you know Rhys will still go all out
and so you put the utmost care into your costume
first, Mor, Feyre and you spend an afternoon on the couch, browing pinterest and an array of online shops in search for ideas or center pieces
neither of you girls really has a plan at first
but then...
There's a flash of lightning, and when you raise your head, thunder cracks in the distance, rumbling and making you shiver happily.
Rain is pounding against the windows of the living room, and the candles flicker as Feyre hums absentmindedly to the music playing in the background. The mugs with hot chocolate you've made have been empty for quite a while now, but the warm, sweet scent still lingers in the air.
"What are you looking for?" Mor scrunches her brows and chews on her pen as she leans forward, browsing on your laptop.
"Not really sure?" You squint, adjusting your spot on the cushion on the floor while you slowly scroll through your pinterest on Rhys's tablet. Then you raise your brows and hold the tablet over your head. "I like this."
In unison, Feyre and Mor who sit behind you on the couch, lean in.
"Oh, I like that!" Feyre's eyes starts twinkling. "That actually fits with what I got so far."
"Huh." Mor squints at the screen. Then, suddenly, she slowly start to grin widely. "Guys. I've got an idea."
You crane your neck to look up at her, and Mor raises her brows, her grin growing. "What have we got here?"
Feyre crunches her brows. "Huh?"
Mor rolls her eyes before widening them. "Between all of us? We're the most iconic thing in mythology and spooky fiction - three women! We're the Fates, holding human life in our hands, we're the three faces of Hecate, the goddess of Magic, we're the Sanderson sisters -"
Both Feyre and you stare at her blankly.
Mor whips out her arms. "Dude, we're a coven!"
Both Feyre's and your eyes widen.
"Wait -"
"That's genuis!" Feyre beams. "We can all go as witches!"
"But those vibes!" You frantically point at your tablet.
"Exactly!" Mor is grinning widely. "We're dark, spooky, but elegant, alluring." She widens her eyes. "Think about it; silk, lace, dramatic silhouettes -"
You groan happily and turn on the spot, wiggling in excitement. "Okay, what are you thinking, all of us dresses or -"
as soon as you got the vibe down
dark, spooky, but elegant, alluring
you slowly work out the looks you want to go for
you scour several online stores for inspiration and end up ordering the base piece for your look
a few days later, you go shopping
for the vibe you're all going for, you decide to scour the plenty of vintage shops you all love first
at the first, Feyre finds a black dress with puffy sleeves that slide off her shoulders
you already ordered one piece of your planned costume; a tiered black cotton skirt
but at the next shop, you stumble upon a tight lace shirt with billowing sleeves
Mor finds you a black corset with embroidery all over the front a few stores later
along with the flowy, tiered black dress she decides to use as base for her costume
you buy some more lace for a cape Feyre is going to design for herself and some structured tights that look like overlapping spiderwebs for your costume
oh, and
as Mor puts it
"a shit ton of accessoires"
the day of Halloween all of you spend decoration the flat
Mor and Feyre show up for the late breakfast (pancakes with googly eyes and whipped cream ghosts)
after Azriel had to pull you out of bed and carry you into the kitchen
Cassian made you watch another horror movie and let's just say you didn't sleep all that much
then, after lots of coffee, hot chocolate and food
you begin to set up
Mor and Fey both have their costumes with them in big bags so they don't have to go home again
they stash them in your room before joining the rest of you
Mor pulls up her spooky autumn playlist, then you split into groups
Rhys disappears into the kitchen to prep the rest of the foods that aren't stored in the fridge yet, the decorations for the drinks, and to set up the bar
Mor starts to spread spiderwebs all over the rooms, Feyre trailing after her to carefully attach big black spiders in the webs
meanwhile, you begin distributing fake candles all over the flat
the windowsills and shelves, the couch table and the fireplace, even the floor -
Cassian and Azriel are tasked with everything that needs hanging up
big spiders dangling from thin cords everywhere, floating candles attached to fishing lines at different heights, and swarms of paper bats that sway lightly in the breeze
once Mor and Feyre are done, they start helping you sprinkle the rest of the decorations around
skulls and skeleton hands that carry murky glasses with unidentified contents that Mor brought
more spiders and bats sitting on all the possible vantage points
witches hats that sit atop the chairs, some ravens up on the shelf
and confetti in shape of tiny bats, spiders and cauldrons
"the only thing we're missing at this point is a black cat,", Mor comments when the big skeletons along with the fog machine and the spot lights are delivered at noon
"why, we got Azriel,", you throw back absendtmindedly, and Mor starts laughing
you put the skeletons in different corners and the guys set up the smoke machine while Feyre finds good places for the spot lights
then you help Rhys set up the basis for the buffet on the dining room table
you bought a big black velvet table cloth you spread out carefully
then you put up a couple of tall candelabras
on the table in the kitchen, Rhys has put up a big cauldon that actually steams
the flat is mostly done by 5 pm
and all of you are starving
Rhys orders a bunch of pizzas
Feyre starts to do Cassian's make up
his hair is pulled up messily as she starts to line his facial structures with a thin brush and white paint
Cassian catches your eyes and winks
you just grin and wink back
when the pizza arrives, you and Mor take turns feeding Feyre pieces, bc now her hands are smeared with black and white paint
it takes time -
in which the rest of you polish off four massive pizzas and Cassian whines whenever Feyre chides him for messing up her work when he takes massive bites of pizza
but after a whole lot of precision work
his whole face is turned into a ghostly white skeleton on shiny black paint
Feyre even painted spine bones down his throat
when she's done, you switch so she can actually eat properly
and you use the black paint you ordered specifically for this to paint the space between Cassian's teeth black
when he grins at you, you nearly topple backwards off the couch
both Rhys and Azriel haven't shared what they're dressing up as
tho in Azriel's case
it is more of a case of whether he's gonna dress up at all
at a little after 6, Mor drags you to your feet to get ready
you hole up in your room, shutting the door and putting on some music
outside, it's already dark, and you can see families and groups of children roaming the streets in the warm glow of the street lights
you end up sitting on the floor as you start curling Feyre's hair, giggling at the stories Mor tells
you carefully pin half of Feyre's hair up while she puts Mor's hair in soft waves and Mor does her own make up
the candles you lit on the windowsill are flickering
and it smells like apples and biscuits
Mor's eyeliner is sharp enough that you just wordlessly hand her your make up bag
Mor grins and squeezes your cheeks before getting to work
all the while, Feyre does your hair
then Mor does Feyre's make up as well while you lean against the bed, shaking with laughter at the grimaces Mor pulls to try and get Feyre to crack
when she's done, Mor disappears into the bathroom to get dressed first
"Guys."
Feyre and you raise your heads, and Mor grins and opens her arms.
"What d'you think?"
Feyre whistles lowly, and you raise your brows with a cheeky grin. "Hot."
Mor winks before doing a dramatic spin. Her lightweight flowy gown spins with her, billowing around her. It's so long, it sways around the ankles of her knee-high chunky boots when she comes to a still and grins, doing a happy, giddy wiggle.
"I didn't even notice the details before." You clamber to your feet to inspect the ruffles and the way they cleverly add layers and dimension to the fabric.
"I know!" Mor widens her eyes and happily swings her sleeves in front of her face, raising her brows. "I'm just gonna start wearing this day to day."
Feyre giggles as she picks up her clothes. "Grocery shopping is gonna be a blast."
Mor wiggles her brows and winks, then she grins and turns around to float out of the room. Feyre grins at you and follows her to disappear into the bathroom, and you close the door to get dressed yourself.
The tights you found at a drugstore sit snug against your legs as you slip into the black boots with the chunky heels that already resided in your closet. You bought them a few years ago with Mor, who lent a similar pair to Feyre as well. Then you straighten and carefully pin one side of your soft black skirt up, until it's rouched and gathered at your waist, and the side of your thigh is showing.
There's a light knock, and you make a face as you fight your way into your corset, nearly getting caught on your lace sleeve.
"Mor?" You grumble. "Can you help me with the corset, cause I'm not sure I can lace it up at the front -" You raise your head, and your heart catches in your throat.
In the mirror, you see Azriel leaning in the doorway. His hands are slipped into the pockets of his black jeans, and his shoulders are straining against his black t-shirt. His dark hair is curling and tousled, a strand falling into his forehead as his gaze slowly drags over your body, and something shifts in his gaze, grows warm and deep and heated.
He looks like he always does.
Except for one major change that makes your lips part and heart leap into your throat.
His eyes, always a warm shade of caramel, are now a deep, twinkling gold.
Something suddenly starts fluttering against your ribs.
One corner of Azriel's lips curves upwards. Then he sends you a slow, lazy smirk, and your heart topples and nearly stops beating when you catch the flash of sharp fangs.
Holy shit.
The smooth planes of his face are illuminated by the warm light, throwing shadows under his cheekbones and jaw as he pushes off the doorframe, and you watch in the mirror, your breath hitching with every inhale as he slowly walks towards you. His soundless, smooth gait somehow seems even more prowling than usual, and you have to keep yourself from swallowing violently when he comes to a half right behind you. His body towers over you in the mirror, and you can feel his body brush against your back when he shifts his weight, his bright eyes piercing yours before he lowers his head.
His warm fingers brush against your back, and through the lace, you shiver, your heart leaping into your throat.
Azriel throws you a look, and one corner of his lips twitches. Then he drops his gaze again and starts lacing up the back of your corset.
Your breath catches, and suddenly you feel very, very hot.
You're sure Azriel has to hear your heart pounding as he gently pulls the black silky ribbons tight, working his way from the top to the bottom. You're tempted to ask with a cheeky grin how he knows how to do this.
But you're afraid your voice won't listen.
There's a concentrated furrow between Azriel's brows as he carefully ties the ends of the ribbons in a bow, then he raises his eyes to meet yours in the mirror, and one corner of his lips quirk as he reaches up to lightly straighten one of the broad straps sitting on your shoulders.
"Good?" His deep, low voice vibrates through you and makes your heart leap high, and you swallow despite yourself and nod softly.
The curve to Azriel's lips deepens, and the ghost of a crease forms in his cheek when he sends you a slow, lazy smirk. The deceptively real looking fangs flash in the light, and suddenly, your skin tingles.
"Thanks." Your voice is soft and a little weak and catches in your throat when Azriel carefully reaches up to tuck some hair behind your ear.
He sends you a slow, light smirk, and somehow, you pull yourself together and grin back cheekily.
"Any specific thing you're supposed to be?"
Azriel shrugs lazily, raising his head and raising a brow. "Demon."
You blink, and suddenly, your throat is dry again.
"Right." Your voice is breathless and a little high, and Azriel's lips curve. Then his hands slide down to your waist, and gently, he tugs you around until you face him. Even in the high boots, you have to tilt your head back to look up at him, and something starts rising under your ribs, warm and pulsing when your chest brushes against Azriel's.
The crease in Azriel's cheek deepens as one corner of his lips curves into a light grin. Then he drops his head, and your heart tethers when his breath brushes over your skin.
His nose brushes against yours tantalizingly slow, then Azriel dips his head and kisses you.
A soft sound breaks from your throat, and you stretch, your hand sliding up to bury in Azriel's dark hair, the other clinging to his shirt as you kiss back, firm and just a little desperate.
The fangs graze your lip, and your breath catches. Your lips part, and Azriel makes a low sound deep in his chest, his hand coming up to slide into your hair and tilt your head back, and he kisses you deeper, harder, his chest pressing into yours as his tongue lazily maps yours.
"Dude!"
Feyre's indignant voice makes you pull back with a soft gasp, your fingers digging into Azriel's t-shirt, and he rolls his eyes and looks over his shoulder to glower at Feyre, but she just glowers back.
"Get your hands out of her hair, I worked hard on that!"
you somehow manage to pry yourself out of Azriel's grasp
your willpower must be magnificent
bc the way he's gazing down at you, his golden eyes piercing and heated and twinkling
makes your stomach throw loop after loop
you're glad Mor isn't the one who caught you
or that she hasn't applied your lipstick yet
Feyre shoos Azriel out of the room, and he lets her, just looking grumpy yet faintly amused
then she calls for Mor, and you somehow shake yourself out of the fast thrum of your heart and the pull in your lower stomach
Feyre looks spectacular
the black dress she's wearing has billowy sleeves that fall off her shoulders and a long tired skirt
she wears the corset you ended up ordering for her
black and with intricate stitching
and her tights glitter in the light whenever she moves
together, you lay last hand on your costumes
you put on the dozens of thin necklaces you own anyway
together with an assortment of rings and dangly earrings
Feyre does the same, marvelling at the manicure Mor has given all of you a couple of days earlier
it's a shade of such deep red, it nearly looks black
Mor adds deep, nearly black lipstick to your look and poufs up her hair
and you help Feyre add her lace cape that sits on her hair and falls over her back
then Mor pulls you to stand in front of the mirror, grinning
"we look good."
you really do
"the holy trinity of female spookiness." you grin and Feyre laughs, her shoulders shaking under her cape
Mor takes a picture of all of you
then she shoos you out of the room
Feyre goes to check if Cassian has managed to put on his t-shirt without smudging his make up
Mor goes to check on the buffet Rhys has erected in the mean time
and you make your way to the kitchen to see if you can help him with the rest of the snacks
the bar is already set up under spooky purple lights
all of your bottles next to the cauldron mugs, spooky wine glasses and other glassware
on the table, the steaming cauldron is surrounded by bowls and bowls with the biggest array of snacks possible
and Rhys is standing with his back to you, digging in the fridge
"You know, I was gonna ask if you need help, but -", you raise your brows, "looks like you're good."
Rhys appears from the depth of the fridge and turns his head towards you, and your lips part.
So that's where Azriel has the contacts from.
"What the -"
Rhys smirks, then he closes the fridge and raises an eyebrow, and you stare at him wide-eyed.
Damn.
Rhys is wearing expensive looking slacks, a shirt half unbuttoned that shows off his tones abs and chest and the tattoos snaking over his skin. His face looks flawless, more flawless than usual, his hair sits even better than usual, which you didn't think was possible, and his eyes -
"Holy shit." You gape, and Rhys winks.
His eyes have been sort of purple-ish since birth, which has been confirmed by one evening of baby photo stalking (which made for lot of laughter and teasing all around). It has fascinated you ever since you met him, but now, they're not just the usual deep blue. Instead, they're a stark, twinkling violet.
You almost ask what he's supposed to be. But then you catch a glimpse at his ears, and your mouth falls open even wider.
"Holy. Shit."
Rhys snorts when you immediately scurry forward to reach up and carefully touch the pointy ears that look so real, you nearly pull one just to see if it's actually attached.
"Where did you get that?"
"I have my ways." Rhys smirks down at you, and you blink before grinning.
"So what, you're like a hot, modern day elf?"
Rhys snorts.
"Basically. I wanted to do a whole Lord of the Rings elf thing first, but then -" His lips curve into a wicked smile. "Well, I don't know. I guess I liked this look better."
You blink and slowly start to grin back widely. "Yeah..."
You see why.
It really looks more like him.
at around 11 pm, the flat is stuffed to the brim
there are people everywhere
on the couches, the armchairs and the chairs, the floor and windowsills
the hall is packed just like the kitchen, and there are even loads of people out on the balcony, even tho it is fucking freezing
the buffet is a massive hit
it looks amazing, with the skulls and the themed food
the bar is just as popular
the music is making the floor vibrate, some Hallooween party playlist on shuffle that Mor has created for the occasion
you can tell that this party is also more excluse by just how elaborately everyone is dressed up
more have lost count of the times you have stopped people to compliment their outfits
you have seen more witches, dozens of sirens and vampires, some very fancy zombies -
Mor drags you and Feyre to dance more times than you can count
you twirl in circles, your skirts billowing, and your heart nearly explodes from how much its thrumming with happiness
whenever you focus, you can feel eyes on you
and whenever you look over your shoulder, you meet golden eyes trained on you from an armchair by the couches
but you also catch violet ones that are watching your best friend
every time, you slowly start to beam at their owner
and every time, you get back a huff, an easy smirk and a wink
cheeky bastard
you find yourself on the couch next to Cassian for a good half an hour, your legs dragged over his lap to save space and a big plate balanced on your knees as you try yourself through the whole buffet
Rhys drags you outside to breathe a little later, and you grin at him long enough that he rolls his eyes
"I'll do something about it eventually"
the way he grumbles it makes you actually believe him
tho you swear to yourself that if he doesn't get a move on soon, you'll actually have to play cupid
this has been going on for long enough in your opinion
and Mor's, judging by the way she smirks at her cousin a little later when the two of you catch a glimpse at Feyre and Rhys in the corner of the living room
deep in conversation, Rhys staring down at her with a wide smile while Feyre is laughing
"idiots,", Mor just says with a mischievous grin
then she drags you with her for a break in the kitchen where it's a little less crowded and you find a spot on the couch
Mor mixing you a series of spooky and very tasty drinks
she's a lot better at that than Rhys and you
at 2 am, the party is still at full swing when you make yourself into the living room
your eyes meet golden ones, and your heart leaps high
your already heated cheeks grow warmer, and your breath catches when Azriel lightly shifts in his seat, spreading his long legs a little wider in a silent invite
your lips start to curve until you smile brightly
then you slip through the crowd, dodging elbows and arms until you can slide into between Azriel's knees and plop down into the armchair with him
sliding into the space between him and the armrest, you giggle when Az slides his hand under your knee and pulls your legs up until they're hanging over the opposite armrest
his arm slides down your back and around your waist, and Azriel lazily sinks back in his seat, pulling you into his body
his golden eyes flicker over your face, and you prop your arm onto his shoulder and blink at him with a cheeky smile
the corner of Azriel's lips twitches
"yes?"
his deep, low voice vibrated through you, causing your heart to skip, and your smile widens
then you lean forward and whisper into his ear: "I'm gonna need help to get out of the corset later."
Azriel's grip on your leg tightens
he huffs gently
and when you pull back, he stares at you
one corner of his lips slowly curves upwards
then he gently pushes your legs off the armrest and straightens, his warm breath brushing over your neck and causing your heart to leap into your throat when he mumbles into your back
"get up."
you do not need him to be ask twice
the flat is finally quiet again by 4 am
Feyre, Mor and you are standing in the bathroom, all in pyjamas and giggling under your breath as you take off your make up
you're caught in that strange space between adrenaline, giddiness and complete exhaustion when you turn off the light in the hall
a paper bat brushes your head when you wave at Feyre and Mor who disappear into your room
then you slide into Azriel's room
The light of the bedside lamp dunks everything into a warm glow as you close the door behind you and turn around, and your heart skips gently.
Your clothes are still strewn all over the floor from earlier, mixed together with Azriel's. The bed is messy, sheets all over the place.
But what really makes your breath catch gently is Azriel laying on his back in the middle of the bed, shadows snaking over his bare torso and hair tousled as he watches with a tired twinkle in his eyes as you make your way over to the bed.
The contact lenses are gone, but as you slide under the blanket - you decide you prefer the warm amber twinkle.
Azriel's arm slides around your waist when you turn off the light, then he tugs you back into his body with easy strength that makes you giggle deliriously.
You feel his lips curve against your shoulder, then his grip tightens, and Azriel curls around you, until there's no place you can't feel him.
Your heart starts to flutter against your ribs, gentle and warm, growing even as your eyes grow heavy and you start to drift away into sleep, until there's a warm thrum in your chest.
Azriel's fingers starts to brush over your ribs, and you fall asleep to the feel of his nose buried at the back of your neck and his warm body pressed against yours.

Cool as hell Tord doodle I scribbled in for. Let’s say 3 hours??? YEYAYAYAY Tordicious malicious extremus maximus the VIII.
For context: I doodled this solely because there was this TomTord scenario I came up with and I pondered to myself, “Huh what if this dude went out for a smoke the night before because he was stressed the hell out about his toxic yaoi husband because Tom won’t talk to any of them and he’s been in his room for the whole day.” Even if Tord doesn’t show it a lot to others, he cares very, very, VERY deeply about the people he loves.
I don’t think he really got the chance to talk to Tom until a few days later. Not that they had a falling out or an argument, but Tom really needed some time alone because it was just. really not his day and he got fucked up over it, and Tord wasn’t sure if Tom was alright. And I bet you that dude wanted to see him and hug him, and he doesn’t want to admit it.
They did talk again later on, and they had a quiet moment together in Tom’s room. Things turned out alright for them in the end at least. And yes they hugged really tightly and quietly im going to sob.
I love it when the really stinky evil guy actually genuinely cares a lot about his loved ones, one of my favorite tropes ever. This was also an excuse to draw cool Tord. YAY

Husk is so special to me and it's unacceptable how underrated he is. Sure, everyone else in the show is SOMEONE, whether it's the princess of hell, one of the most deadly excorcists ever, the most powerful sinner in hell, hells most famous pornstar, hells richest and most succesful business group (evil bastards aside), the king of hell etc. etc. Meanwhile this stinky, grumpy old man is thrown in the same group. He's a loser. He's lost all of his power and money. He's lost his soul. He probably wasn't even listed as one of the most dangerous overlords even when he was one. He was evil then he wasn't. He struggles with an alcohol and gambling addiction and most likely depression as well, he doesn't give a flying fuck about his outward appearance, he wouldn't go to a gym if his life depended on it, he has back problems, his sense of style is shit, he's rude to everyone, he's not the most uplifting or pleasant person to be around and yet he's so so likable. Despite what he's gone through, he chooses to be kind and considerate. Despite his skrunkly, pessimistic, disinterested attitude he has a heart of gold. He cares about his friends (albeit begrudgingly initially) And even better? He's appreciated with all of his mishaps, quirks and perpetual complaining.
It's just nice to see a character who from a classist, elitist point of view would be considered invaluable, but the show doesn't treat him as such. He's flawed, he's so flawed but instead of treating him as worthless, the show accepts his flaws as a part of him and further accents his strengths. It's nice to see a character whose accomplishments and failures don't define his worth, but rather he's defined by his choice to be good. He's mediocre, he's NORMAL, and he deserves the world. I love him and I love how the show loves him too
