You’d be so nice to come home to
He wasn’t entirely sure when it had happened, when he’d fallen in love with her, but it was a simple moment when the weight of it settled on his heart. Perhaps it was the warm glow of the low fire but Siobhan was radiant in the soft light, her strawberry-blonde curls turned into waves of rose gold down her back as she unpinned her hair for the night. She must notice him staring from her vanity mirror since she smiles gently as she brushes her hair
“Husband.”
It’s such a simple word really, but the enormity of it left him breathless. It was a title, a responsibility, a commitment Loghain had thought he’d never bear willingly again after Celia’s death. He and Siobhan had been married for just over two years now but tonight was the first time he’d truly seen her as his wife. No, that’s not true, is it.
Loghain was not the same man as he’d been that day in Denerim’s Grand Cathedral, hollowly pledging his life to his new bride in the eyes of his King and country. Siobhan had turned her sea-glass eyes on him that day and found him wanting, and Loghain could not blame her. Their marriage had not had an easy start, and Loghain was honest enough to admit his smarting pride and bruised heart had been most of the problem. But each day that passed had grown their respect for each other and slowly, like ice melting on the mountaintops, that respect had turned to a genuine fondness that had turned to love when he wasn’t looking.
He remembers the very first holidays they’d celebrated together here in Gwaren, how she’d opened the castle to their people on First Day and the somber feasts she’d organized for All Soul’s Day. He thinks of the long winter nights they’d spent going over household finance, of humid summer afternoons in the market stopping for everyone bold enough to approach their Teyrn. He tried to remember when he’d stopped sleeping alone, to think of that pivotal day he’d begun waking up with Siobhan’s hand lightly clutching his night shirt and can’t seem to recall just when it had begun.
“Wife.”
He’s not sure what she hears in his reply but Siobhan pauses mid stroke to meet his eyes through the mirror again, searching his face for something. He thinks she finds it because her gentle smile turns blinding. Her happiness made her vibrant in the low light of evening, Loghain knows then he’d do anything to keep her as happy as she was right now.

Having some thoughts rn don't mind me
Tw: Alcohol Mention
I honestly don't enjoy NZ's drinking culture and I get stressed out everytime I say "I don't drink" to someone. Because it means I have to explain I don't enjoy the taste of alcohol and I will have hear one of 3 responses:
1) "Oh, there's plenty of alcohol that tastes good!" - These people mean well but believe me, all alcohol tastes like shit to me. Don't change my mind. I'm good thanks
2) "FAKE ASIAN!" - Whenever I mention I don't like soju specifically in a convo where soju is mentioned. Usually as a joke but I've heard this response enough that I find it quite rude now. Bruv I'm not even fucking Korean? Also that's racist of you to one, deny my Asian identity bc of one Asian product I don't like and two tereotype me bc of one Asian product
3) "So what do you do for fun then?" - Answer is easy, sit on my ass at home. In bed, with my laptop. Sorry that I'd rather have fun in a more peaceful way rather than go out and get shit faced every weekend. I'd like to have a functioning set liver and kidneys when I'm 45 thank you very much.
The glorofication of getting drunk and being heavy drinkers fucking sucks. NZ's drinking culture is so nasty. I hate how it's considered cool to drink and get drunk. It's stupid. I hate it and I wished people can just leave me the fuck alone when I say I don't drink. I don't want to have to fucking explain why every fucking time. I'm tired and I just want to not be judged for choosing to be sober

ok SO i went and got out Most of my knives (i remembered I have a nonbinary knife only after i took the photos & also idk where it is currently. just imagine all these plus a nonbinary flag knife ok? ok)
HERE ^ is the most of them, minus that nonbinary knife. look at that fuckin mess. 32 shown here (i think) plus my nonbinary knife makes 33 blades (minus cooking knives, i dont count those for these purposes)(also counting the swiss army knife as only 1 bc lol)
& some explanations for them! gonna put these under a readmore bc it got Kinda long on accident whoops. Read Ahead if u wanna see me nerd out about my knife collection.
STARTING WITH my big ones.
my spear (gifted to me), my cane sword (from anime convention), my shitty $20 sword (also from anime convention. low quality but cool as hell), my teal mini sword + matching throwing knives (from online), my decorative axe (from a local store), my twin blades (my sharpest blades, theyre actually kinda scary how sharp they are, but i love them bc of it. from online), red saber (from online),
ANDDDDDDDDDDDD my favorite hefty bitch of a machete that i sleep with in my bed frame on the very right (inherited from my grandpa bc i was the first one who spotted it at Family Claiming Day)(this thing really is as long as my leg & much heavier than Any of the rest of the blades pictured here. i love it)
another view of the blades so u can better see how long they are. the big boys. they're lovely. 2nd heaviest blade is the cane sword when it's in its cane, mostly bc that handle has some Heft. tbh id feel safer using it as a bludgeoning weapon than a stabbing weapon, but having a cane sword is just plain cool
AND my smaller blades!
i have a lot of pocket knives. starting from the top left: golden pocket knife (from online), rainbow dragon (from online), rainbow HEFTY boy (heaviest pocket knife, from online), spider knife (from online), stiletto jade (from online), pathetic army boy (from local store, this knife has NO redeeming qualities, but it's mine <3), black stiletto (from local store), plain dagger man (from online), my damascus steel knife (was a gift, probably my singular most expensive knife. fancy boy), Dull Dagger Man (first blade i ever bought, from anime convention)
& for bottom row: teeny black knife (first pocket knife i owned, gift from my dad), lil rainbow knife (from local store), plain steel knife (from sketchy shop in gatlinburg + one of my Favorite knives), green dragon knife (from online, a real beaut), triple throwing knives (also from same sketchy shop in gatlinburg), the baby throwing knives again from the Big Boys pic but i included them again bc they r so teeny tiny, my keychain key blade (from online), swiss army knife (from online), & the pair of claw keychain baldes (from online)
many blades, many stories, so little time. theyre great tho.
SOME FOCUSES:
^ these are all my spring-assisted knives, sorted from worst feel to best feel to open. based on quickness, ease, & general satisfaction. leftmost is leftmost bc i didnt even Know it was spring assisted, bc it doesnt have a nice lil tab on the back to press. no u gotta press on one of the rungs. but once u do it Does spring open, so i included it. next 3 are just Average in feel (these 3 are sibling blades anyways, nice of them to be together). jade stiletto is smooth and quick, nice to open. Hefty Boy rainbow has some THUNK to it when i open it. like that babey's got PURPOSE to it. added to the general size of it & it's just pretty great. AND THEN MY TWO FAVS, green dragon is a perfect beautiful knife & feels very great to open. and then Steel Sketchy Knife aka my 2nd pocket knife & first i bought for myself. it looks plain in comparison to the others, but she's anything But. quick, light, Sharp. it has the Best feel to open, bc it's just a fast SHHK. probably my knife that's seen the most use (aside from my small black knife) just bc of how great it feels to open. i love that knife so much for Real.
& the final highlight, somewhat related, are the knives I actually use the most in my daily life!
on the left are the knives I keep in my bag by default, & thus the ones I carry with me Everywhere i go. small black pocket knife bc she's Ol' Faithful, & a pretty lowkey knife for basic tasks when I dont wanna raise any eyebrows lol. silver knife bc as previously stated i Love using it so much. i take it out when i gotta breakdown a lot of boxes at work, & it Never disappoints. small rainbow keychain key knife bc it's cute & i like to keep it on my keychain. & swiss army knife bc Obviously im gonna keep the swiss army knife in my bag for if i need an emergency tool.
on the right are the three knives I keep out in my apartment. black stiletto lives on my bathroom counter, for bathroom knife needs. green stiletto i keep on my table next to where I hang out in my bedroom, for any couch time needs. & then green dragon beaut camps out on top of some shelves by my front door bc it's Great for opening boxes, aka something I will do for packages I receive after pulling them in the front door. it works for me.
all the rest of my knives live either in a box (for small ones) or my closet (for big ones). i may have a lot of knives, but somehow I never feel like i have enough. i just love collecting them so much <3

Worried for you every time I see your system bitchcount go up. Get well soon yall
hrk well…! hiya im yoi!! (yoimiya genshin) and im answering this one cause im the most recent split hehe. honestly its kinda like….. i dunno were just trying to cope with stuff i guess! i split back toward the end of our fall semester when shit suddenly got really bad after a really good period, (im talking grade dropped from an 85% to a 59%!!! yikes) and, well…….im naturally a cheery person! so i think thats just kinda what we needed during a time of extreme stress and disappointment and i know i am sure happy to provide!!
last time someone split before me was shoby (shinobu genshin) and that was back in may when we were finally kicking our really cringe ex to the curb anddddd we needed a strong assertive force to do it! and shobys been really good at actually getting us in the mindset to sit down and do important tasks ever since. :)
so yeah it does suck that a lot of the time we come about cause something huge happens and were like “uh oh, how do we cope with this?” but i think were here for the better and were all like a little family! im happy to be here and im happy to introduce myself to daves friends on tumblr dot com!! and thank you for your concern too, were doing better ^^
🎇 yoi 🎆
