#theyre just having a lovely chat!

[avcnturine]

IT'S BEEN SOME TIME SINCE THE LAST PERSON who was this good at hiding their tells. he's pleasantly surprised. then again, this is a man who has all the reason to be guarded, and who has no idea as to who he's talking to. on a planet like this, these colorful eyes are nothing more than any other shiny bauble, balancing out their net worth in anonymity. he wonders, as they roam idly over the duke's face, lingering there, holding his own darker gaze for a few beats longer than socially comfortable, whether they were really as unnerving to have fixed on you as people say, even when you didn't know.

hypnotic fuschia, a brilliant blue enough to drown in. . . as the saying goes, the avgin's honey. finally, they blink, and his smile widens a little more, growing warm with the other's eventual, quiet admission. there's a lot to be admired in the honesty and the lack of posturing, the complete absence of pretense. he'd heard fontaine was a nation of theatrical and dramatic people, but this duke, now that he's met him in the flesh, seems like anything but.

"mm, that's very true. good point," he relents, sitting back in his own chair and allowing one leg to fold neatly over the other ; palms warm against the still-steaming cup in his lap. "that's something i was curious about, actually——it's not uncommon for prisoners to funnel back into the system through labor, and i understand that meropide is responsible for most of the machinery used throughout the nation. but despite that, it has a more robust livelihood of its own than just about any other penitentiary i've ever seen."

as for whether he seems like someone who'd seen many, he'd leave for the good duke to make his guesses.

approval isn't what he'd ascribe to most people he does business with ; for the most part, there aren't strong feelings either way——it comes down to something a lot more practical. but all the things he'd learned about this warden the last several weeks centered around the same thing: the fortress used to be very different. the labor, the culture, the credit system: these were meropide's new wealth, and that which they generated externally, for the rest of fontaine, was little more than an afterthought in most of the residents' minds. residents, rather than strictly prisoners.

"which goes back to what you were just saying: ' everyone here is repenting for something '. but in most cases, that's what the sentence is for, and the length of that repentance is for the judge to decide. here, on the other hand. . ." it seems like no one's in any hurry to leave. he lets that sit for a half-beat, then opts to get closer to the heart of the question ; and between the two paths to it laid before him, he takes the one less-traveled-by: "it seems like your own sentence ended a long time ago, duke wriothesley. so, when do you think you'll have served long enough?"

also I don't see charlie and pim ever 'dating'. They're going to move in together, kiss eachother on the mouth, go on dates, cuddle, sleep in the same bed, never date anyone again. But both of them will say they're just friends. Like yea when they die they'll have the same grave but they're friends.

"Women who could channel were dangerous animals rather than people."

honestly cracking up laughing at this thought from Egeanin because like, famous last words for someone about to get Wondergirled

like she is so deep in her Seanchan indoctrination even like up to the moment that she met Elayne and Nynaeve, and they really just broke her by being nice to her and treating her like a person, all while openly claiming to be Aes Sedai

I saw 9-1-1 and then I saw psych and then I blacked out an followed you - jkjk that snippet looks AMAZING Buck and Shawn would synergize on a level unheard of it's such a big brained concept!!!

HAHHAHA YESS OMGGG i am always happy to find more ppl who are into 911!! and psych too LETS GOOO

THANK YOUUU THATS SO SWEET ILL CRY EUEUUE <333

i wrote that snippet so long ago and then got distracted but ive been getting back into psych and now i cant stop thinking about them aaaaaaa

BUT YES OMG shawn and buck have so many parallels it actually makes me go bonkers (gonna ramble under the cut)

they are just both goofy goobers

both are bisexual disasters

they both have a scene where they're angstily riding their motorcycle before crashing

both would hookup constantly before they found a job to give them a sense of purpose

GOD THEY BOTH. THEY BOTH HAVE FUCKED UP CHILDHOODS BUT IN LIKE OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS ARHGHRGH

both are attention seekers (in very different ways)

they both have ppl think theyre much dumber than they actually are (smart buck u are so special to me)

both are a fan of old rock (Shawn with Tears for Fears, Buck with Bruce Springsteen) CAN YOU IMAGINE A KARAOKE SCENE JKFDSKJ

there are more but omggkgkjgkj honestly i feel like. a big difference between them is just that Shawn had Gus growing up and Buck had Maddie

the murders I would commit for this

[emry-stars-art]

I would buy like five million shark Andrew and jelly Neil plushies so I could place them on my bed and sit in the middle and just admire them

THEY ARE SO CUTE <33

No joke I want my room to become a shrine of your aus. Royal corner here, mer au corner there, stay where I can reach andreil over there, some free space for new ideas and my bed in the middle lmao

(PS I love Andrew “head bonking like a cat because I am a cat” Minyard. I definitely consider it his love language (both romantically and platonically. Just bonking everyone at that point. Why? Why not :D))

I literally have been considering learning how to sew/make plushies for the EXPRESS purpose of baby shark plushies you have No Idea 😂 I don't have the funds to start a new hobby at the moment unfortunately, but it seems like so much fun

BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH I just held onto this ask bc I wanted to keep reading it 🥹 it does mean so much that people like the aus lol they're so much fun and so special to me and I LOVE that you love them!!

when phil said "ny sphere goes over your sphere" about their personal spaces in dan is leaving me video...LIKE SHUT UPPPPP WE GET IT I'm so lonely

their sphere's do go over each other and it makes me emotional. dan's 'zone of collaboration' makes me laugh, as if he isn't getting all up in phil's space all the goddamn time. get a room!! (i say, while they are literally in their room)

on the more serious note, physical touch is really important, and coming from someone who is touch-starved, i highly recommend going to your local animal shelter to play with the animals there!! mine has a booking process, but they're also super chill about you just showing up and asking politely. get those endorphins!!
