#thank you! 💕

[avonne-writes]

Hello! I absolutely love Reverie and recently went through to read your tagged posts :) In one of the posts, you said that John coped by viewing Gale as his only reason to stay alive. I was wondering if Gale ever realized quite the level of John’s dependence on him like that (in the Stalag or post-war) and if so, does he do anything to try and help to unlearn that mindset?

Thank you so much! 🤍

Great question, thank you so much! ❤️

Yes, Gale does notice it in their last months in the stalag. At the time, he doesn’t have the capacity to consider whether this affects anything long-term, and then later, he figures it's going to change by itself with time. He does always encourage John to find things that bring him joy, but it's not enough for significant change.

Another aspect to consider is that Gale likes it this way, although he doesn’t want to admit it. He has never been the center of anyone's universe before, never felt love that he could believe before. It’s no wonder that a selfish, suppressed, twisted-up part of him wants the dependence to continue like that.

But the stronger, rational part recognizes that this is not healthy. I think when he finally concludes that it's not getting better on its own, he pulls out his leader voice and gives John the push he needs to seek things out that give him a purpose. In Reverie, Gale is someone who makes detailed action plans for any challenge he needs to tackle. He writes down his list of ideas to help John and goes through all of them. I think the most successful one is getting John a puppy.

Although John does recover in everyday functionality, deep down he’ll never stop thinking that living wouldn’t be worth it without Gale.

Trick or treat!

my wips are a mess so here's another idea I've been playing with in my head: bojere first kiss 💕 (I only have bojere brainrot recently ahh)

Bojan really really loves kissing. In fact, he thinks kissing is even better than sex (another storyline there). He loves kissing people that he loves: guys or girls or bandmates - it doesn't matter. And since he first saw Jere, he's been obsessed with what it would be like to kiss him 😌

But the more he thinks - the more difficult it is to approach Jere with that idea. So Bojan tries to set the scene: he kisses people in front of Jere and hopes to make him jealous. But Jere isn't a jealous type (unlike Bojan 👀) and just cheers him on.

Bojan tries to make a topic about how amazing kissing is, maybe Jere will offer first? But Jere only says "meh, if I kiss then I have to take my snus out and I don't wanna". So that doesn't work either.

Maybe they could play a bottle? But again! Bojan is very jealous 👀 he doesn't want to see Jere kissing others. In the end he finds out that Jere only drinks boxed glöggi that doesn't spin anyway.

But Bojan really really wants to kiss Jere and see what it's like 😩 He knows it would be amazing. If he would just stop overthinking and just ask 👀

Hey could you gimme a uh... "dressed" from the 𝐋𝐎𝐔𝐃 & 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐅𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 prompt list... perhaps with an injured Lea?? Or "lean" would also be lovely 💜💜 Thank you you're amazing!!

"Can you stand?"

"Yeah… just give me a minute."

Lea ignores you as you hover over them. They have their eyes closed and their head bowed, taking a few deep breaths as they slowly push themselves onto their hands and knees.

You crouch down in front of them, and they open their eyes just to give you a look.

"I'm fine."

"You don't look fine."

"I said just give me a minute."

You purse your lips as Lea slowly eases back to sit on their heels. They grab at their side, suddenly hunching forward a bit as their face contorts in pain.

"Lea," you move closer, put your hand on their arm to keep them from toppling back over.

You can tell they're hurt bad when they don't push you away.

"Give me a minute," they say again through gritted teeth.

Your hand tightens around their arm, and they bow their head again, but you can see how pale they're getting, their dark eyes losing focus, and you can feel their weight shift as they start leaning into you.

"Okay," you huff, dropping to your knees to catch them and stop you both from falling over into the snow.

You sit for a minute, Lea struggling to stay conscious, and you quickly look over them - and you're only more concerned when you can't see any obvious injury.

"Come on, Lea," you say, lifting their arm up and wrapping it around your shoulders before looping your own arm around their waist. You brace yourself before standing, grunting under their weight and wobbling a bit from your own injuries.

Lea's arm tightens around you, and their head rolls to the side as they peer into your hood.

"Sorry," they mumble.

You don't respond, too preoccupied with putting one foot in front of the other and making sure neither of you collapse.

Thankfully, the horses aren't far, and you whistle loud through the trees, calling both of them over, trotting through the snow and peering at you curiously.

You approach Gambit cautiously, though with Lea's arm slung over your shoulders he doesn't try to bite at you, and you're able to get to Lea's potion belt before he can change his mind. You and Lea both stagger over to the nearest tree, and you do your best to ease them back to the ground, dropping hard onto your knees beside them.

"Which one is it?" you ask, pulling various potions out of their little leather pouches.

Lea feebly points one out for you.

This will keep them together at least until you can get to a surgeon or a healer. You trust their potion more than yourself, especially with what you can only assume is an internal injury.

You sidle up close next to them, roughly taking the back of their head in your hand while you pull the bottle's cork free with your teeth. You lean them back, lift the potion to their lips and help them drink.

Lea splutters a bit, and you pull back, tilting their head forward as they cough painfully.

Your hand stays at the nape of their neck, and you find yourself hesitating to let go, your thumb drawing slow circles through their hair, damp with sweat and snow.

They close their eyes at the touch, their frantic breathing slowing a bit as the potion takes effect, and one of their hands blindly reaches out to grab a fistful of your shirt, white-knuckling as Lea pulls you close.

"Alright?" you ask gently. They open their eyes, and you can still see the pain there, in their furrowed brow, but they nod before tucking their face against your shoulder, their breath hot on your throat.

Your thumb keeps drawing circles.

You set the potion aside, propping the bottle up in the snow before reaching up to wipe at Lea's mouth. Their brow furrows even more as you wipe the spilled potion from their chin, but they don't pull away, just staring at you with those dark eyes.

Your hand shakes slightly from the leftover adrenaline. (That's what you tell yourself, anyways.)

But Lea suddenly lets go of your shirt, sitting up and grabbing at your wrist, their fingers cold and tight as they pull your hand back. They say your name, a low whisper that ghosts over your knuckles - then they let go and slap your other hand off of them, their eyes flashing before they turn away from you and grab at the nearby tree to pull themself up onto their feet.

You let them stand, staying on the ground for a few more seconds as you recork the potion bottle and stow it back in their belt, along with all the others you pulled out. You avoid their gaze as you help them climb up onto Gambit, and neither of you say anything as you start off through the trees and back to town.

Hiiii! I've read some of your fics in the past and first I've gotta compliment your writing style and your incredible use of vocabulary.

Lately it's been rough and I've been struggling with the mental side effects of that, but your fics (especially Soldier Boy) have been such a huge comfort and I just felt that you deserve to know that. ❤️

hey there, lovely!

Wow, thank you so much for that amazing compliment! 😍💗 All I can say is I've studied literature and the writing craft for a while now, so I'm happy to hear that it comes out in my writing. 😊

Though I'm sorry you've been going through a hard time. Trust me, I've been right there with you this week. But, I'm so glad that my stories have helped you in any way (especially my Soldier Boy fics; we all know he can be a lot lol).

While I hope and pray things get better for us, thank you again for letting me know how much my stuff has helped you. It's made my day! 😘

🛼 ⇢ describe your latest wip with five emojis

Ooh! Good question since my latest wip is officially a Secret.

👑💋🌊💨📚

🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings

Thinking lately, as I often do, about a Maedhros who is not uncomplicatedly grateful to Fingon for his rescue… a Maedhros who wanted to die, begged to die, and was dragged back to life via DIY amputation and an eagle anyway… a Maedhros who fulfilled his wish, in the end, many years later. :(

🍬 ⇢ post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character

Not to yuck people’s yum, but WHAT IS IT WITH GLORFINDEL he is such a minor character and yet so so popular??

[i-like-yoongi-a-latte]

favorite word?

okay i'm trying to not have a deep take in this but it's hard!!!

one english word i like is phenomena, the story of it is that i had difficulties remembering what is the plural form of phenomenon (also a great word) and the trick was that the part -omena is apple in finnish so phen + omena

anyways moving on

a korean word i like at the moment is 흐르다 [heuruda] which means 'to flow' and it really sounds like water flowing - also other (korean) onomatopoeia words are so fun!!

Trick or treat! 🎃

hear me out: recently I've been thinking how a body-switch bojere au would work?

Jere and Bojan keep telling each other what they would do better in their place that a miracle does happen and they do switch bodies (with language knowledge). Now, they have a chance to prove and to fix some troubles that both stubbornly don't want to admit they were having.

First of course would be a self exploration 🤭🤭🤭 (all that delicious skin to touch 👀) Then, over the phone Jere would beg Bojan to please wash his clothes correctly bcs he doesn't want his designer-thrifted shirts ruined, while Bojan would keep reminding Jere he needs to visit all these interviews and to act like Bojan while Jere couldn't bother pretending to be someone else even in that someone's else body 😆

I see many comedy elements of them trying to navigate a familiar but unfamiliar space until they find how to return back to their real bodies 🪄

(could get angsty too, Bojan getting a first row how stalkerish Jere's life really is and Jere getting to see how Bojan isn't taken as seriously as he should be 🙁)

idk if it makes sense 😆 but it sounds fun in my head 🧠

[littlewitchbee]

Hello!!! For the artist ask game: do you listen to anything while drawing? whats a compliment about your art that has always stuck with you?

Hello!!

I absolutely have to listen to something while I'm drawing. I have a few playlists I shuffle through depending on my mood, or I'll listen to a podcast or something, but there definitely has to be noise of some kind lol

People are really nice about my ink sketches! That makes me happy because I love drawing in pen 💕

[risingsh0t]

O for the ask game!

oscar dalton: rdr2. former actor at théâtre râleur. joins up with the van der linde gang after reconnecting with his childhood friend (@shellibisshe's marian) who's already a part of it. and honestly...he's bored! he wants to employ his skills in a more challenging way. sometimes he helps obtain information for jobs and he develops an interest in horse training. he also falls in love with the doctor (@jendoe's elias), so like... he's committed, he's staying.

oriane: one of my fav ocs 😭 my god of war girlie. she's the goddess of weather, warmth, and growth. she grew up with freya and freyr, eventually becoming one of freya's valkyries. she and freya have a slow burn romance, they finally get together before the end of the second game <3

ottoline lavoie: she was originally a john wick oc, but i haven't developed her much which means i might move her to a different verse. however, she'll likely remain a ballerina with missing parents...and maybe she'll stay an assassin too? to be decided.
