sinday headcanons | @goldcnpeaks was curious!

🪢do they have a kink? if so, what is it? (maybe some lesser known ones or the ones she doesn’t bring into the bed as often? any guilty pleasures?)

if we're talking lesser known/lesser addressed kinks, i think shibari is pretty up there. it's a little funny bc chiyo prefers being able to touch and hold her partner, but she's also into the lack of control she would have if she's all tied up. aside from that, the simple visual of the rope, contrasting against her skin, is also nice; it's almost equivalent to getting all dressed up for her partner. i'll also point out thigh-riding ( be it her or her partner doing tbh ) is very hot to her, though i'm not sure if she's aware of that one prior to being with someone. i think she doesn't really see the appeal until she's experiencing it. she definitely isn't aware of her breeding kink :' )) the first time her partner pulls out that flavor of dirty talk, she's in for a surprise :' ))

🫂how do they feel about friends with benefits?

answered here!

🛏️what’s their favorite position?

chiyo likes being on top period if her partner's willing to indulge her, but i'd say specifically she prefers being sat in their lap so they can hold onto each other. she wants to be as close as possible <3 runner up will always be being bent over something, and the more her partner leans on top of her, the better. she'd like to be engulfed and crushed tbh asdfg

🤪what’s the wildest place they’ve ever done something sexual?

answered here!

💋do they like to kiss while having sex? do they cuddle afterward?

answered here!

🫶what does after care look like for them?

it might vary from situation to situation, but chiyo's always going to be very soft and affectionate afterwards. lots of sweet, chaste kisses, cuddling up to her partner, likely cracking lil jokes and/or praising them. if they're up for it, she may suggest bathing together afterwards ( and promise to keep things innocent... probably asdf ). generally, if there's something her partner needs, chiyo's going to readily provide it. it's the kind of thing i think she'd want to discuss with her partner bc everyone's needs/preferences can vary -- she herself would be happy just to be held for a while and nap or sleep together like that.

IN DEATH, SACRIFICE. // TALES OF THEDAS

( ⌺ ) // NOT SOON ENOUGH, GREY WARDEN (@scvcnofswords ). " HARROW ?! " the hilts of illia's blades feel heavy in her calloused palm. the called warden's voice was choked from the air just moment's before. bellara had already been taken -- ripped from them in the blink of an eye -- blame had already begun to settle in illia's chest, now it fuses with heated panic. splitting the team had been harrow's suggestion -- and it had worked well. until now. " THEY HEAR YOU NOT. " the serpent form of ghillin'nain sweeps between the clouds of fog, only glimpse being caught between the opaque waves of mist -- illia hoping that she feels the rage of her molten yellow eyes, even just a singe to understand what kind of fate lay before the corrupted god and her counterpart. then again -- the crow hoped she knew that the moment she was impaled with a ballista bolt from her own hands. her team fight with singing blades and screaming magic against emerging blighted opponents as ghillin'nain's voice booms across stone. it's not long until they cut their way through the blight. " SO FEW OF YOU REMAIN ... "

davrin and emmrich fork at illia's side. all eyes scanning the towers and infestation of blight that curls around them -- writhing and alive. pulsing with an energy that rots the very air -- yet it infects and lives within flesh. an insatiable parasite that always seeks more. to consume. " SMALL ... " brows furrow, wide eyed golden gaze flickering to her left. " emmrich ?? " illia calls out to the empty space -- her voice echoing back in the mocking silence.

" DESPERATE ... "

" davrin ... " her team was gone. she stands alone in the clouded mist -- adjusting her blades in her palms, ignoring the tremors that began to sink into her bones.

" FEARFUL. " ghillin'nain curves and rises above -- finally revealing herself. her damaged bronze crescent moon headdress prominent and bold against the silver blues of fog. tendrils flowing outward like a flare of a dress -- ready to grasp and strike, to continue the warp of life into living death.

" FOR YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS, LITTLE ROOK, YOU FACE A GOD ALONE. "

she sees it then -- within the weaving mass of ghillin'nain's forever growing plague, there lies her companions. emmrich, davrin, lucanis, and harrow. all tangled in her grotesque web. eyes dart back and forth, following the links of blight illia has begun to navigate at a high speed. she has to free them. without a team -- this won't work. while she would gladly suck in any fearful breaths and attempt to handle ghillin'nain herself -- illia needed the other's support for this. with her agility and senses, she twirls and strikes at core bulbs of blight. the connections severing with shrills and shrieks of wrathful agony. harrow & davrin are back into battle first, the two being the closest in range, the trio of wardens & crow easily connecting with syngery -- all deciding to split the battlefield into sections. the more hands they have, the better chance they'll get -- and they need a certain demon possessed crow back. feet are quick and blades quicker, eyes focused and strict -- hitting every mark she intends to across blighted flesh -- dark blooded ichor staining stone, dyed leather, and armor. she and her companions are lucky none greets their mouths with its parasitic plagued kiss. with a sharp stab, lucanis' prison shrills with defeat -- the tendril releasing the assassin as it hisses away back into the growing fog. sharpened lyrium finds the demon of vyrantium's hands again. time is ticking. " lucanis ! i've got you -- " words are swallowed in a sharp inhale of breath and a short shrilled scream as the retreating tendril wraps around illia's calf -- dragging her down across grey ragged stone. it's not long until she is face to face with her captor. even entrapped, illia still has thrashes of fight in her. " BEHOLD, YOUR CURRENT AGE ! FRAGILE. AIMLESS. LOST ! " skeletal wings of violet spite unfurl, gaining the advantage of higher ground. another seeks this same advantage -- coarse palms gripping onto stone brick as they climb olde ruins of a time long past. ghillin'nain's grotesque focus tunneled upon rook as she continues to droll. leaving time for harrow to twirl their weapon in preparation as they stand at the ready -- boring holes into the corrupted god's back. " you and elgar'nan are trapped by the past -- just like solas ! " illia spits back, " you had your chance ! each one of you ! " a breath wavers between dry lips, sneering at the bronze face before her, " and we don't owe you a damn thing. " lucanis swoops forward, blue blade ready to strike into the rotting heart of ghillin'nain -- but with a flick of a gnarled wrist, a blighted tentacle imprisons him again. snaking and constricting limb by limb. illia beginning to become enwrapped within the same horrific fleshy serpent. she then hears the soft breath of a whisper -- not loud enough to decipher. but as ghillin'nain's form curves just right -- illia can see the words in harrow's face.

like i promised, whatever it takes. harrow's glaive strikes true, piercing ghillin'nain as it javelins through the air. the warden follows suite with their weapon -- grasping the pole arm and twisting the blade deeper into writhing skin with a sickening squelch. ghilin'nain roars in outrage, focus shifting once again -- despising that crimson bleeds from her once more. illia hisses, attempting to get free once more -- but the counteracting strike is faster than intended. a hoarse choke meddled with blood spits from harrow's darkened lips. a violent rushed chill of shock and fear envelops illia, eyes widening at the sight of harrow's body being struck by ghillin'nain. " HARROW ! " illia screams, despising how helplessness weighs at her chest -- weakens her bones -- seeing how her trusted and adored friend falls into the depths of the red blight below. but the distraction is enough for lucanis to plunge death into the heart of the towering god with a shrilling cry of agony. illia is thrown in the writhing pain and end of ghillin'nain -- tumbling to the ground with a huff of impact. the crow scrambles to her feet, staring as the abnormal figure of the god begins to be enrapt with the blue glow of lyrium. she doesn't register much -- her ears still ringing as sound is deaf to her. she moves with lucanis' guiding hand -- her eyes still focused upon the blighted hole in the ground. she realizes she will never see harrow's face again. nor their laugh or smile. they will never be able to bury them. it's not until energy rips through the air, knocking the breath out of illia with the shock wave burst, does her mind sharpen back into focus. they would have to grieve later. for thedas is still on their shoulders.

did i tell yall abt how hikari brute forced the pillar climb. how this fucking moron watched caesar cleave through the oil, said 'fuck that shit', and instead coated her entire body in oil by pressing her head against the pillar to let it cascade over her body, hung on one hand at a time to cover her hands equally, charged her 'oil armor' for like two hours, and fucking climbed through it.

also on the topic of link's swordsmanship : something i think is really fun is that link is STRICTLY a one-handed sword fighter, not sword AND shield. in story instances, he's only ever seen with a sword. and then when he IS fighting with a shield during gameplay, he's consistently making the beginner mistake of swinging the shield back when he strikes, rather than swinging the sword AROUND the shield he has equipped. he clearly seems to retain most of the muscle memory he had from 100 years ago, so i guess no one ever trained him out of it ?? or maybe the prodigal martial genius knows something i don't ? who knows. i do think it's funnier if he just hates shields so much that he never bothered to learn how to properly use one though.

hmm chiyo sunday thoughts below the cut — more so bc of the subject matter than explicit content!

just thinking about the first time chiyo sees any sort of bruises or marks on herself after being intimate with her significant other. i think there’s a certain thrill in seeing them as well as a giddiness bc ofc her mind wanders to memories of how they got there. ofc she thinks about she was the one to inspire that sort of passion. marks and bruises are a physical representation of the feelings her lover has for her, so chiyo very much loves to see them.

her partner might be worried the first time they see the aftermath of their intimacy, but she is just “ no you didn’t hurt me shush 💜 gimme some more actually 💜 ”

💭 + Sheik

Sheik is the closest thing Zelda has ever had to a friend. While Link could be considered a second runner-up because she does care for him, she does not get anywhere near close to the same amount of time with Link as she does Sheik.

Growing up, it wasn’t very common to see other children in the palace. Occasionally she might cross paths with another child if someone had to bring their child with them to work that day (i.e. one of the maids, soldiers, or one of her tutors), but those instances were pretty rare because it isn’t exactly easy to watch your kid and complete your daily responsibilities at the same time. Let’s also add in the fact that when other children are around, they’re likely told to keep away from Zelda because she is the Princess of Hyrule, so engaging with her wouldn’t be appropriate or they need to not distract her from her studies. 

And if having another child in the castle was rare, Zelda leaving Hyrule castle was nearly unheard of. With the exception of special events that took place in Castle Town, Zelda seldom left the palace, and when she did she certainly wasn’t interacting with children in the square because that could be dangerous.

Sheik, however, is the one anomaly to this. As a Sheikah, it was anticipated he would one day serve the Royal Family, so he is given free access to the grounds. His mother was also the Queensguard/Zelda’s nursemaid, so the two were often thrown together since Sheik would shadow Impa in many instances.

Growing up, Zelda never realized just how much trouble she created for Sheik, something she is able to reflect on as an adult, which she does genuinely feel bad about. She knows she often made things more difficult for him, but it causes her to appreciate his companionship even more because he’s stood by her side despite all that.

When they are given a chance to, more or less, “redo” their childhoods, Zelda has her memories from their first childhood. She’s already made it to adulthood once, so she is much more intentional with her actions the second time around and tries to keep Sheik out of trouble (such as intervening during fights or pleading to her father on his behalf) rather than be the reason he gets into it.

@unknownths ( from evan ) asked: ∗ 31﹕ sender runs and jumps into receiver’s arms . GRABS HIM (LITERAL) // 100 nonverbal prompts

MICHAEL STUMBLES BACK a few steps out of sheer shock, catching himself and regaining balance just in time to keep both of them from toppling over into what would likely be yet another osha violation. Of course he knows Evan doesn't like these places ( a good chunk of which points directly to Michael ), he didn't exactly encourage Evan joining him this time. He anticipated tension, reservation, avoidance. What he wasn't ready for was Evan grabbing onto him and practically using him as a human shield.

A younger version of Michael would have used that as immediate ammunition, but he's long past that ( even pushing down the instinct to freeze in a guilt-ridden stasis, he can't pull away right now, either )— he does, however, look dumbfounded while fully letting it happen. Evan deserves to use him as a shield, really. "Fucking hell— you're not that much shorter than me anymore, if you knock me over like that we're both dead." Despite the teasing response, he... does what he can, maneuvers to keep a hand hovering over Evan's shoulder instead of pushing him away. "It's... fine, they shouldn't be hostile." Key word: shouldn't. "You stay behind while I handle it."

steeples my fingers. chiyo's partner has definitely walked in on her having personal time. i know this in my heart bc it's one of her worst fears which means it's gotta be canon no matter who she ends up with

Chat does anyone else wish that Steve for the minecraft movie would have not only been animated, but also silent? Cuz I feel like one of the things that makes the minecraft community so nice to interact with in game is how we use the character to communicate without vc. Crouch jumping up and down while punching is a universal sign of peace, holding your shield up means suspicion/skepticism of the other player, holding your sword and getting close to the other player is intimidation

A bit depresso expresso without the expresso ( no coffee ) as I lost my 50/50 to Clara on my Asia account and lost to Himeko on my American account... I JUST WANTED JIAOQIU so I could decide if I wanted to add him as a muse!

Guess I'm more likely to add Feixiao or Moze once they release? Give me the pretty Foxian man @ HSR?!

To cheer myself up? I'm going to nuke everything with my mutuals characters on my American account because it has made me happy so far-- xD
