#why you mention that dog?

[corsairspade]

Celegorm but everything about him is 10x funnier because he's a chronic ainur fucker and just doesn't tell anyone about it. He looks inwards and decides marriage is between elves so deciding to roll around with maiar of the hunt is absolutely valid and not marriage. Who's ever heard of an elf marrying a Maia?

Elven polyamory may be illegal but it doesn't count if he's just ferrying kisses between Oromë and Vána- they're not elves. No, it's not hypocritical, what are you talking about. Just don't tell his father. What? No, not because of the whole polyamory thing, Feanor's just got a thing about Valar. Yes Celegorm is sure that's the only reason he doesn't want to tell his dad.

Prompted once again to do so, Xue Meng sits, Longcheng sheathed by his side. Trying, and failing, to be discreet, he casts a longing look towards the training grounds, like he hasn't already spent more nearly three shichen practising. Moderation is a word the Young Master doesn't really know the definition of. Not yet, at least. Perhaps he will one day.

Xue Meng takes the offered handkerchief with a thanks, wiping the sweat from his face, before tucking it into his own sleeve. "I will wash it for shizun." No way would he let Chu Wanning take the sweat soaked handkerchief. He shouldn't have to deal with something that gross. Xue Meng might even try to wash the handkerchief himself, since it is shizun's handkerchief.

"Yes, shizun. I will try to remember that." The teen sighs, gaze lowered slightly. He knows he tries to rush things. That he is impatient and sometimes too stubborn, but he wants to show that he is good. Wants to show that he will never bring dishonour to his family or his shizun. And also that he is better than Mo Ran, who is once again nowhere to be seen.

Taking a sip of tea, the drink is warm, but still manages to be refreshing to his dry throat. For a moment, everything is well. Until Chu Wanning mentions his cousin, completely missing any emotions hidden behind that question.

Something dark immediately falls across his face and he pouts a little, looking slightly like a displeased child. "I haven't seen him since yesterday. He's probably running around like the dog he is." Who knows where Mo Ran is? Probably doing something unseemly, like visiting another brothel. A thought so disgusting that Xue Meng bristled and almost gets up to start training again, all to not think about what his cousin might do.

"He has no regards for how his actions can bring dishonour to you and the sect," Xue Meng adds angrily and empties his cup, downing the tea like it was wine.

IT'S IN MOMENTS LIKE THIS that he truly despises himself for this tainted gentleness, easily chased away by worry. Chu Wanning wondered many times about the other elders – some of them took hundreds of disciples under their wing, yet the distance that seems to grow wider and wider between him and Mo Weiyu doesn't leave much space for warmth to share with the other two. Haven't they earned the right to have a better shizun?

❝ Sit, ❞ he says at last, patting the mats spread out on the ground. How could he not be aware of Xue Meng's tendency to exert himself just to win more praise and claim hard-achieved perfection? Elegant hands push the flowing white sleeves aside to pour some tea into two cups. After a moment of consideration, Wanning reaches into his robes to take out a white unembroidered handkerchief and offer it to his disciple to wipe the sheen of sweat from his forehead. ❝ You can't walk a thousand li in one step, ❞ he adds then, a warranted reminder. ❝ Nor can you expect to do so in a day. Even the best of things are only good in moderation. ❞

A cup is raised to his lips, the aroma of freshly brewed tea soothing the raging anxiety just enough for a soft sigh to fall. ❝ Have you seen Mo Ran around? I didn't see him in Mengpo Hall this morning. ❞ A rather pathetic attempt to make the question sound as matter-of-fact as possible fails miserably by his own standards, but there is always hope that Xue Meng, who always trusted his shizun's judgement, won't notice. The most likely whereabouts of his third disciple are unthinkable – the mere idea of it makes him purse his lips in pained contempt. It's always been much easier with Xue Ziming – even if he doesn't heed his words and ends up exhausting himself through relentless training, the little phoenix won't lose his way.

getting queerbaited by an action webnovel is so embarrassing. but goddamn this dog is just too fucking good at chess

[what-is-it-to-be-pk-esque]

Ok I know I'm heavily biased here but like I kinda love that Astarion's romance is one of the few in this type of video game where you basically end up canonically unmarried and childfree in his "good" ending? Just travelling the world??

Like it's honestly the millennial dream lmfaoo cannot believe i chose what would undoubtedly be my favorite option, first try

[canisalbus]

Sorry but we were speaking about history in a part of one of my classes and when the Vatican came on. I had to draw the sad dog man.

Machete is now immortalized in my class notes. It’s in spanish by the way, which is kind of funnily appropriate considering latin is very close to spanish.

I find it kind of interesting that out of all the things Nicole could beat Aiden at, it was chess; Which requires a lot of thinking, analysis and foresight into the opponent’s strategy. (There’s a deleted scene on YouTube where Nicole reveals that the one thing she was better than Aiden at was at chess. timestamp 4:33)

Do you think Nicole knew more about Aiden than Aiden himself thought she did? Because I mean the game itself is strictly in Aiden’s perspective, meaning that we’re seeing things from Aiden’s viewpoint. Jordi isn’t intimidating but is comedic, although from the perspective of Marcus, he is intimidating asf, Damien is underestimated until the very end.

Nicole is smart as hell and I absolutely love her for that. How she knew Aiden enough to know that he was on a revenge spree and immediately told him to stop going after them otherwise she will cut him off with no hesitation? How she immediately got defence practices for her and Jackson after cutting off Aiden, how they were able to find an alternative way to healing that isn’t murder or revenge?

RAGHGHGHGHGH i wish there was more Jackson and Nicole content in bloodline, ESPECIALLY from Jackson’s perspective, because THERE’S BARELY ANYTHINGGG. I don’t want it from aidens perspective since we know how much of a nut job he is at times, I WANT IT FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE. (Just imagine me slamming my fist on a table through each syllable, that’s how I feel rn)

Something something being abandoned by everyone

The way people are becoming anti-children nowadays is really sad. And I'm not talking about people not wanting to have kids of their own, that's fine and something that shouldn't be shamed nor up to someone else to debate. No, I'm talking about the people who adamantly hate these little humans for simply existing, wanting to ban them from spaces due to them having emotional reactions that they are still learning to understand (you know, the kind of lessons that everyone had to learn and figure out at one point). It's gotten to the point where I've even seen these types of people genuinely support children being harmed and deny their hurt under the consensus of "Well then maybe they shouldn't be there," in your average public space. Like, imagine thinking hating on children, people who need assistance and guidance, is something to be proud of.

Ooooooo we're reblogging Graves fanart, aren't we ? :3c

LOOK AWAAYYYY YOU DIDN'T SEE IT 😭

[skankhunt44]

Yeah I'm a fucking dick,

But this dick isn't supporting terrorism and isn't sympathetic for people who want to ethnically cleanse the middle East funded by the UN?

Lol yes, Karen, you're totally on the right side of history here, you're quoting antisemetic tropes from both the Nazis and the KKK handbooks, and openly calling for ethnically cleansing Jews from Israel which they call "isn't real" or whatever but it's named over 100 times in the Quran, and I've read the xtian bible it's mentioned probably twice that at least. But it isn't real. Sorry it's hard not to laugh at that logic.

Glad we had this chat.

[espers-n-espurrs]

it sucks so badly your brother is a piece of shit because he is objectively a hottie. like solid 8 or 9. maybe 10 if im being generous. like i see why maple fell for him i would too if not for the fact he has the personality of a 3 apparently considering he tormented you for years

Have you thought about collabing with the creators of Clangen?

It would be cool? But from what I know, Clangen really tries to stick close to canon, moreso than I do. They wouldn't be looking to add my clan culture expansions or spirituality overhauls.

So like, sure, if they/a mod maker approached me with an idea or request. Otherwise I'm not sure what we'd collaborate about?

Just Big Eyes and Unsettling Things to Say or The Waterfall Means 'I Love You'

One thing about you is you are always looking when you think so one else can see. Not stealing glances but demanding them, taking what’s yours with an unguarded alighting of your dangerous gaze—Argus-eyed watcher wet/slick/glistening, pupils shine like lamps, pierce his swallowed defenses easy as a gas-filled zeppelin on a church spire. Smolder at him across a stage— eyes hot and lovesick like a rabid dog. He wouldn’t dare put you down, will live with that mad gaze catching him like a sticky trap, will search for beckoned belonging in big brown horse eyes until the sun swallows the earth like a marble.

Dialogues between you in gazes and sighs, creased brows, yanked hair. Sometimes you can cut borderline eyes at him and he knows exactly what you want. You do this in private, you do this in public— eyes meet and keep meeting over canyons, chasms, crowds, and years. Your poet/critic doesn’t want to be so obvious but a once-open gaze is hard to shut. Like closing a gate on an unbroken horse and hoping for the best. Contain the hollers, the you-as-not-so-silent-watcher, but a slow-scraping roll of your eyes up his graceful gangliness gives you away.

Look when you think no one else is looking but someone always sees. Isn’t that the trouble with you? Carefully curated, minimal uncouples and skinned-up manifestos that you think make sense but your face was open and blade-like in the way sunbeams are blade-like, soft grass and high cheekbones against your fingertips, once.

Half-bent out of shape but you still find his eyes on you through stage lights or sunlight or smoke or nighttime darkness and The Waterfall means I love you but you don’t need your eyes for that. He closes his against the stroke of your fingers, reaches for your hand after but you pull away with a cheeky smile, which makes him laugh when he remembers.

Not everything has to be a secret gaze or cleverly measured lyrics and images. Some things can be honest and obvious if you let them—and you are more obvious than you’d ever like to admit.

a quick one for a warmup type thing because i've been feeling burnt out at work and needed some fun time

@uhbasicallyjustmilex sent me these gifs and it ruined my life (original post here) also i can't find the waterfall thing but y'all know that's a reference to the face off

anyway i'm obsessed with his big brown dewy horse eyes

Actors AU:

Balloon Party, who's real name is Gertrude, was chosen for the role by sheer coincidence; she said that, one day, she had gotten a headache, and had to speak slowly to try and relax herself. Needless to say, Z heard it, and thought she would be an amazing shoe-in for the role.

In real life, she is an actual doctor, too; not world famous, but definitely well-known, especially for how soft spoken she is.

If you would have told her she'd find love on the set, she'd call it a pipe dream.

And then she met Lorelei by giving her a health check, and may or may not have been smitten immediately.

(I also imagine she has a PhD and many positive reviews. Lorelei, meanwhile, has $5 and a dream 😭)

Imagine she works in the same hospital as Tooth Fairy and is an acquaintance of Madam Z. After a long day of work and sleepless nights, a headache wore her down and she constantly held her head while talking slowly.

Z had an idea at that moment and got her an interview with the directors, she was cast as Balloon Party not long after. She has to admit she quite enjoys the character she plays as, a crazy and creepy doctor.

People often get surprised when she acts so nicely unlike her unsettling character, and are even more surprised to know she has a PhD.

Gertrude also made a couple health checks around the set, she's one of the few who can and it's better to make sure all actors are healthy and in good shape for their next acts. She frequently receives visits from Cristallio, Lucy or Rabies, so she always tries to keep a professional face around those who don't come as often, that's when Lorelei steps in.

For your information, it's not Balloon Party who fell first, but she did find some attraction to that blond head that wouldn't stop saying nonsense.

Lorelei felt a bit nervous as she complained of an upcoming cold and headache, and alongside Gertrude's soft, calming and understanding voice, she fell. And bad.

Must I add she was quite entranced, staring into Gertrude's eyes as she spoke whatever she was talking about? Yeah.

Even when she wasn't sick, she went to Gertrude to try and start a conversation under the pretense of "taking care of any future sickness", and soon enough, she didn't even need an excuse!

Gertrude did end up falling for the silly girl that was so obviously down bad that not even romantic obliviousness could cover it. Ted faced, oftentimes hinting at going out on dates but then chickened up and ran away without a warning, or bringing her emotional support emo along.

Either way, it ended up happening soon enough, it's not like Gertrude wanted to play hard to get or she didn't like Lorelei's personality and acts of service.

I can imagine Lorelei asking her out on dates and it ends up being then eating 2 hot dogs for 1$ and a soda in the middle of a park because she didn't have enough money for a restaurant. And if she took her to a restaurant, her emotional support emo had to give away some money for it to happen.

ONION: So, Miss Lorelei, is it true you're dating Miss Gertrude?

Lorelei: Surprisingly enough, we both are in a romantic relationship. Mama and papa like her a lot, however, I can't help but wonder why she would date someone like me. I can only invite her to eat a homemade sandwich.

Balloon Party: I'm not in love with her for money, I think she's quite cute and romantic. I don't mind eating something cheap if it means being by her side, and she has some funny reactions when I compliment her too.

Semmelweis: Yes, I am the emotional support emo. Yes, I am tired. And yes, I have enough money to pay for their dates as long as they let me sleep.

ONION: ...I just asked if you knew about the rumors
