#they have mad tension

Listen. I’m gonna sell the cross that I found. Okay? That I saved, and when Dad wakes up... Okay. ... he’s gonna see that I took care of it. Not you. Sure.

A Rainy-Day Indulgence

Main Characters: Simeon, Reader

Genre: Fluffy and romantic, with just a touch of deep thoughts

“Simeon…” You chide half-heartedly as arms wrap around your waist, gently lifting you up and over a puddle. Raindrops patter against the ground in a chorus that harmonises with the wind, whistling through the air. It’s normal rain, for once - not the weird, Devildom kind - and the water feels cool and familiar as it splashes against your face. Simeon knows what rain is, obviously. But his brows are furrowed as he concentrates on guiding you over and around the puddles - glancing at them so distrustfully that it makes you laugh.

Simeon loves your laugh, which makes the butterflies in his stomach flutter. What he loves less, however, is seeing your soaked shirt clinging to your torso and the streams of rain water running down your forehead and dripping down strands of your hair. You’re sure to catch a cold in the morning and, yet, you look so happy.

So happy that he can’t help himself.

“Fine, fine.” He chuckles when you run off, as soon as he’s set you down. He lets you pull him with you to frolic in the downpour, gasping slightly when you throw your arms around his neck to attempt what Simeon eventually understands to be a slow dance. His own hands find their way to your shoulders, steadying you both as you sway and stumble through your rainy-day waltz. It’s messy, and is definitely going to render your human body sick tomorrow… but Simeon can’t help himself. Not when your laughing that laugh and smiling that wonderful, enchanting smile. “Is this a thing humans do? Dancing in the rain and catching colds after?”

You pout, squinting up at him unflatteringly through the raindrops in your lashes. He thinks you’ve never looked more captivating.

“I’ll have you know, humans think it’s romantic. To dance and kiss in the rain.”

He smiles. There’s something more behind it… Just a glint. “I guess I’m not typically one to pass up indulging… when it comes to you.”

Slowly, his fingers smooth over your sleeves and down your arms, tracing your skin with his fingertips and committing the curves to memory. Eventually, his hands land on your waist - and he shudders… Not from the rain, but from the jolt of bliss that races through his body like lightning. An electric ecstasy fills his being.

Simeon’s mind flashes through memories of times that felt familiar to this. Times where he’d indulge a little too much; like eating a little too many of Luke’s sweet treats, or testing the waters by writing a scene a little too intimately in his novels. Thoughts of gluttony, thoughts of lust. Thoughts of sin.

But when you lean up, straining on the tips of your toes to press a sloppy, rain-coated kiss into the crook of his neck…

And when your hold around his neck becomes tighter, your embrace spreading warmth through his body…

And when the words ’I love you’ spill from your soft lips, which smile into his skin…

… Simeon sends a silent prayer to above as he falls for the temptation of indulging in you, desperate to know if sin was supposed to feel this heavenly.

(no spoilers, buttttttttttttttttttttttttt inspired by some recent, simeon-related things 👀)

(usually simeon and sin end up being quite a angsty topic in fics for this fandom, but i did want a nice, romantic moment associated with it - kind of blurring the line between sin and movie-perfect moment) (shout out to every movie with a scene where the main love interests kiss/dance/do things in the rain)

I hate the stretch lines in the front of Curly's uniform because that means the devs rushed to make a model in like a month or so and thought "They gotta at least know he has huge knockers, gotta know he's got back pain." Cause like what is the thematic importance of his tits having overhang?

What responsibility is that representing? Breast reduction? It shows an inherent greed in his character due to the excess and heshouldletmeholdone and that he clearly is blinded cause if he tries to look down his damn ladder all he's seeing is his own cleavage.

[eat-a-dicker]

this is a screenshot i took a while ago. it's interesting to me that fizz's expression is one of glee, a tiny bit of judgment, but he is happy to see blitzo at ozzie's with a boyfriend of high status.

It’s my first time doing colourwork and I’m loving life!! Not sure how well the floats are going as it’s a bit too small to try on yet, but I’m praying it’s okay

I’m making the Shrimply the Best socks and I can’t wait to see how they turn out

please ignore that the last one is grindr messages :praying_hands_emoji:

[arkiwii]

very sad still see the saria/silence divorce headcanon still going around

have you ever tried to consider that they never dated before lone trail because it would be unrealistic with the timeline and the events and also because it would be overshadowing the actual truth of why they couldn't get along

[scionshtola]

i do think a good shtola arc for the future would be like, her sort of calculated recklessness with her own life negatively affecting someone else and her having to reckon with that

[itspileofgoodthings]

not to mention my own instinct that Taylor is protecting Joe through her own abundant outpouring

[alexhatessupermarketcola]

The tension between me and the 14 Alex Rider books on my shelf which I kind of want to reread again but there's FOURTEEN 😭😭 (because secret weapon is staring at me too that is)

[jaggedwolf]

I'm still in the recruitment phase of the new Dragon Age game, but I'm finding the portrayal of Tevinter politics and slavery frustrating, especially playing a Shadow Dragon Rook.

The Shadow Dragon faction is an anti-slavery Tevinter resistance group and yet their main concern - our main concern - is the Venatori, an extremist sect of Tevinter mages. Not regular magisters and their politics, or everyday slavery. We have a conversation with a sympathetic former magister, Maevari Tilani, in which she says her dad was a "good magister" and my Rook has zero questions about what that means!

More frustrating than that, I think, is that we haven't met any slaves. I've run around doing quests and so far the only slave or even former slave I've met is the merchant in the Shadow Dragons camp. Surely a personal slave or member of the servus publicus would've come up by now in a questline, or as a source for Neve (whose investigation work should not feel like it is unimpacted by the presence of slavery).

Come to think of it, Tevinter also doesn't feel as highly socially stratified as it should be? I'm playing a Warrior!Rook, a Soporati, while Neve as a mage is at minimum a Praeteri. Yet the game fails to convey that Neve or the Viper are treated much differently (or even were raised to think of themselves differently) in Tevinter than Tarquin, Rana, or a non-mage Shadow Dragon Rook. We get the slightest bit of this in Tarquin calling the Viper a highblood, but it's such a sliver compared to what you'd expect from a society like the Imperium.

....still glad I saved my hometown over Treviso, though, the Crows are kind of annoying.

[itspneu]

im glad we all collectively ignored this panel

[dennisboobs]

plain and simple i am not going to be able to remain in this fandom long-term if i have to keep putting disclaimers on every single one of my posts that say i don't condone dennis' bad, bad actions and that i am in fact aware he's got a history of sexual assault and dubious/nonconsent. the entire gang has done heinous shit. why is dennis the only one who needs to be treated like this? if some rando wants to post about how dennis is pookie pie that doesn't automatically mean they're blind to his crimes. every single member of the gang is a piece of shit. that's kind of the point.

draw dennis with cat ears who give a shit

"Ahaha Daemon is so dumb for believing the old man is the one actively poisoning him when the weird goth witch giving him weird concoctions is right there."

May I introduce you to a beautiful concept known as sleep deprivation ? Man's only gotten poor quality sleep (if any at all) for weeks for all we know. Mood swings and paranoia are bound to go hand in hand with that one. Logical thinking ? Nope. Not happening. You add the fucking hallucinations further messing up his mind to the mix and you get exactly what we see.

[chunkypossum]

Reading a fic and actually getting mad at how long it's taking for the two of them to fucking touch or something. Gods the TENSION IS TOO MUCH. ... oh wait, it's my own fic.
