i just think she deserves to have a big cry!!!!

[alkalinc]

a closed starter for my heart, @devoureden, for theo and mia.

"you know, when you call me theodore like that, it's a turn on as much as it's terrifying." with a wink sent her way, he took the dry paint brush from her to twirl it around between his fingers while standing in the doorway of the nursery. "tell me your idea. i want to be able to see it."

[xtraterrestrials]

@khianat answered: "What are you smiling about?" (from theo to nine)

"Ah, you just seemed to enjoy yourself, reading. I thought that's nice," he tried to be more mindful with his words. He tapped his pencil against his sketchbook, looking at Theo. "Do you like the book? I thought it might be something you are interested in," he tried to make it up, for making their introduction so messy. "I also was excited when you were fine meeting up again," Nine admitted after considering how much honesty would be appropriate.

"It's homework. For my masters' program," Theo chuckled at that. He slid the book mark in place before shutting it. "Can't say reading about gravitation waves and the effect on light is a high energy hobby."

He tilted his head at that. "Yeah. Sure. You seem kind enough."

if you are not playing rook / do not have a rook canon to your portrayal, i am in general picturing my rook - theodosia ‘theo’ laidir, elf spell blade lord of fortune who is just a ball of chaos and sunshine and who calpernia has no idea how to interact with despite an odd and tentative understanding of each other and their pasts. generally the friendly + humorous choices and the definition of “here for a good time, not a long time”.

[sol-consort]

Before the turian galactic expansion, the worship of Titans used to be more widespread. Titans are described as gaint creatures that roamed the planet back in ancient time, and left their footprints behind—a common theory that those titans might have been the reapers visiting to gauge the development of turian civilisation.

Greek mythology also has Titans in it, ones that have been said to bring entropy upon the earth wherever they roamed, tyrannical and destructive, the forefathers of the greek gods of which they came and eventually usurped.

And we know that by the Stone Age of humanity, the reaper attack hasn't occurred just yet; by that time, protheans were still around and kicking, observing humanity from Mars.

The Stone Age ended between 4000 BC and 2000 BC. The widespread oral poetry that helped pass down the myths we now know as greek mythology started around 1800 BC to 1701 BC.

This offers a window ranging from 2,200 to 299 years in which the reapers invaded and defeated the protheans before roaming the rest of the galaxy and observing the infantile sentient civilisations.

It's very possible that both the turian Titans and greek mythology Titans originated from tales of the reapers in the world of Mass Effect.

And if I'm allowed more creative liberty, I'd say some tales of the mythology gods wars were heavily inspired by witnessing the reaper/prothean conflict on Mars, with the planet being very visible to Earth dating back to the ancient Egyptians. The explosion of ships in space, the red lasers of reapers splitting the sky. It does imply that the addition of titans into mythology is a late one which came after the Olympians' myths.

{Starter for @corazcnes for CLH Rayman in the CLH universe}

After what seemed like forever from trying to recover from their wounds, Floyd announced that Theo was coming home today. Raymona was finally free from her back brace and was ready to welcome their little one home again.

They wouldn't have to wait long before they heard Merideth arrive. The lioness would bring in Theo's things and the lizard hybrid would make a beeline for his parents. He would pull Raymona into the hug first, then he would pull Rayman in for the hug next. He would hop up and down to let his father know that he wanted to be picked up.

"I missed you so much! Auntie Merideth taught me how to cook! I know how to make eggs, omelettes, and toast now! What happened, daddy? Why did I have to stay with Auntie Merideth for so long? Why didn't you visit?"

[sebastianxorpington]

Sebastian would deny any allegation in saying that ever since Valentines Day he had spent quite a bit of his time over at the others place. Most of the time he was happy with his own company, not needing too many people around him to fill in his need for social interaction, but he guessed the amount of people he had in his life since moving back to the UK were few and far between and Theo just happened to be one of them. He had been making himself a cup of tea in the others kitchen when his eye caught sight of a cloak draped over the back of the others chair, a cloak that looked remarkably like one that an Auror would wear. "What's that?" He couldn't help but ask the other, nodding his head in the direction of the article of clothing.

WHO: Rhett Ellington & @theobrowningfd WHAT: Present Shopping for Rhett's daughter, Isla. WHEN: Winter Holiday Market - December 2024 WHERE: Succs by Clara WHY: based on the 🌷 emoji; and those succulents are so cute!

"Have we passed any sort of shop with some good pairs of work boots at all?" The taller man asked, his brow raising in question as he limped, slightly favoring his left side. He'd apparently worn a hole in the sole of his work boots, and in true Rhett Ellington fashion he'd been blind to it prior to that morning when he'd gotten dressed for the day. It wasn't something that was shocking - Rhett wasn't one to ever prioritize himself over anything else that needed to be done - but as he walked along the pathway, eagerly searching for a gift for those still on his list the pain the hole was beginning to cause unnecessary wear and tear on the brand new socks sitting against his feet.

He shifted as the duo came to a stop, taking the paper from the pocket of his jeans and scanned the list once it was unfolded. There weren't a lot of names on it - Isla, Theo, Mr. and Mrs. Tyler, Ember (his black and white border collie) and his nieces and nephews - okay, truthfully considering the fact Christmas was seven days away the list felt as if it was still growing by the second. He'd barely marked off a single name and the only reason he had then was because he'd gotten a great deal on a poinsettia at the florist that he'd given to Mrs. Jones at the nursing home; she'd been one of the few people that had kept up with Rhett through the years since he'd left the church at seventeen. "Damn, I guess it's a good thing I got paid yesterday." he joked, showing the sheet of paper to his best friend before he nodded in the direction of Succs by Clara a booth he was certain he could grab a present for his daughter. Isla had always loved plants. "You just have to promise me if we find something for you here you'll act surprised when you open it on Christmas, alright?"

a knight who wants redemption and forgiveness so bad he could cut his tongue on the bite of it, and a monk in the throes of a spiritual crisis after answering the call to tend to the war wounded.

the knight I think I'm going to call Theodoric, and the monk is going to be. Anthony? these are names and I'm about 70% certain they'll stick

Let’s fucking gooooo, Riz! Way to pick up on the clues!

[dxrknessexplored]

@tealeavesandthorns asked “Nope, sorry, you’re not getting rid of me that easily.”

Theo withheld an exasperated sigh. Rarely was it that he and Maria butted heads. More often than not, he could recognize the signs and curb it before it happened, by either appeasing or just veering away from the subject. A method that worked exceptionally well most days. But on occasion, since nothing was ever perfect, it did happen that seeing eye to eye wasn't able to be achieved. Today was one of those days, and clearly, she wasn't going to let the subject lie. Time was lacking already, and the fact that she wanted to draw out the argument was more than a little irritating. Already lacking patience with the business he had to handle, Theo struggled to reign everything in so he didn't explode at her. Something that he hadn't done to date.

"Maria, we can continue this when I get back. But for now, it isn't up for discussion. You are staying here, with them watching you. It's about your safety, so I would really appreciate it if you could just listen and hold off an arguing until I get back. I'm not trying to outrun this. But if I don't leave now, there are going to be bigger problems." Frustration did leak into those final words.

a closed starter for my heart, @devoureden, for theo & lachlan.

a noise at the front door had his brows pulled together before theo turned to look up from the stove to glance around the corner and see his boyfriend walking in. "hello, handsome," he spoke around a small smile. "i thought you'd be a little longer, so this kind of ruins the plan to surprise you with dinner."

[xtraterrestrials]

@gaesaekkii answered:

"You say I need rehab and then you ask me to come spend time with you. I don't mind at all, much better than rehab. Also, what snacks did you get and what do you mean by you-approved? I don't know what I have approved. I am confused."

"Snacks I've seen you eating, silly. I know you don't like my plain rice crisps." Theo teased, puckering up his face, furrowing his eyebrows and nose.

starter for: @loveisliquor

theo had just finished blending his homemade pesto when he caught the notification on his phone. an instagram reel from his chronically online, younger sister. he was beginning to make the sundried tomato sauce until it buzzed again. a slew of question marks. this was her way of demanding a response. theo tapped the link to the video, it played automatically and revealed an image that made his stomach churn. it replayed, over and over again. his billie kissing the male r&b star she just made a record with. sure, the club was dimly lit, but the flashing lights were on them it was her.

there had to be some explanation for this. theo tried to take his mind off of things, finishing up the greasy sandwich he liked to make for them when they got home from a night of partying -- except he hung back tonight. he was seated at her kitchen's island when she arrived, editing one of his videos. he cleaned up after himself, and only her plate remained untouched. "thought you'd be hungry," theo was short in his tone, jutting his chin towards the sandwich. he kept his eyes on her though -- jaw clenched and heart racing. it pained him to be pretend to be this unfeeling, but it hurt him more, seeing her lips on someone else.

"Oh, hey. Hey!" Felicity smiled as she spotted Theo, "Sorry. I - I got here early so I ordered a couple drinks. I hope I ordered you the right thing." She thought that she recalled his drink from the wedding but she couldn't be completely sure. Felicity was nervous. She had no real idea if this was a date of if it was just two friends getting to re-know one another. But either way, it wasn't something which Felicity had done too often. It was slightly out of her comfort zone. But she wanted to be able to see Theo again. She had, had such a nice time with him at the wedding and it was nice. Being with someone who didn't know her as a 'widow', was nice. It was refreshing. "You look great, by the way." She smiled as she moved to sit back on the stool again, "Honestly, I wanted to look like one of those cool girls at the bar but I underestimated how difficult these things were to sit on." She laughed. She was blabbering and she hoped that her interrupted soon.

『🍬』 For once, the left side of his face is exposed, at least somewhat; a stream of blood rushes down his head, over his false eye, as he holds a damp, crimson-stained cloth to his head. When he notices the other, he merely cringes and looks away.

"I don't even wanna talk about it."
