I feel like Patton would feel so guilty when he saw Remus after that

I mean, he would... but also everyone would be confused by this bc he does take on the role regardless of knowing.

FFXIV Write Day 23 - On cloud nine

HaurcheWoL NSFW heavily implied

On Cloud Nine :to be extremely happy and excited :feeling or showing pleasure

———————

Brucie hadn’t really voiced his curiosity, mostly because he felt like if he asked the owner he would get another cryptic and weird answer that left him without an actual answer — so he waited for a bit…

And then for another bit.

And then, one night, as he was walking down the street with Haurchefant at his side, he asked — “Haurche…I have a very stupid question that I have no idea if you have an actual answer to…”

The ex-Commander of Camp Dragonhead looked down at his small husband and crossed his arms, “Oh? It’s so rare of you to have doubts that you consider I am able to answer…so ask away my dear!” At such enthusiasm, the miqo’te couldn’t help but let out a small laugh.

“Well, you know the Forgotten Knight — the little tavern, well…not that little I guess. The point is that, I have always wondered about their inn…” Brucie noticed how his husband immediately had a small smirk on his face and he had to give the elezen a small slap on the arm, “…Hear my question before thinking any of your debauchery!”

The tall knight couldn’t help but laugh taking a few steps forward, “I am doing my best to behave, my Light…but yes, go ahead.”

As the miqo’te makes a pout and shakes his head, he smiles softly, “Anyway, the inn…the name. Do you have any idea why they called it Cloud Nine…?” He finally asks and, of course, he tilts his head to the side in a common sign of his curiosity being completely genuine.

Haurchefant stares at the smaller man for a moment, he crosses his arms and then uses one to cover his mouth as he thinks about the question he has been asked — in his eyes there’s a hint of playfulness and a dangerous shine. “Oh? You want to know that…? Have you tried asking the owner…?”

“Why would I ask the owner when he is always cryptic about anything and, I wanted to ask you…” Brucie moves his arms to his hips, in a show of irritation and lack of patience. “Do you know or not…?”

The knight chuckles and grabs the small miqo’te by the arm, beginning to guide him towards the tavern that was the source of his husband’s curiosity. “Oh I do know, but I think you need a more hands on lesson about the name, rather than just me explaining why everyone called it that long before it got the actual name…”

The Warrior of Light was now more confused, blinking and calling out the name of his husband in an attempt to make him stop his walking and just tell him the reason — he didn’t mind the theory before the actual show, or whatever Haurchefant wanted to show him or do.

…Alas, he found himself soon crossing the door of the tavern and towards the Inn.

————————

Whenever they stayed at Ishgard, for a day or more, they had a house where they could spend the night or, also, they could stay at the Fortemps manor at any time…and yet, as the Warrior of Light opened his eyes and looked to the side…he didn’t really minded the slightly more old covers, or the abused mattress under him…he cared even less about the faint sound of the patrons walking up and down the stairs.

It was a cold room, colder than most.

But he felt, absolutely, on cloud nine right now…held closely by his husband, his body still aching in all the places Haurche had used his strength to keep him pressed against the bed. And Brucie loved those little reminders, the little burns as he moved to kiss Haurchefant’s cheek and then continue to leave soft and small kisses along his face, down to his jaw.

Hearing his husband laugh, groggy and content, made his heart soar. “…Good morning, my love.”

“Good morning, Haurche…” He purrs, laying atop his husband’s chest and drawing soft invisible patterns over his skin, “You seem happy…remembering all the things you said and did last night…?”

Haurchefant sighs, a smile coming to his face, “…Why, yes…and also remembering your sweet moans and face…along with the way you begged for me. Such memories are almost enough to make me want to pin you down once more…but, I fear I might push my luck too much.”

The miqo’te closes his eyes and smiles, soft and content, “I admit…I liked it far more than I anticipated it…we should have more lessons about the history of certain places in this manner…” He sighs. “…I promise I won’t forget this one…dearest.”

The knight hugs the smaller man a bit tighter and then kisses his forehead, “Anytime you have questions about Ishgard, my beloved…I would be more than happy to give you a proper lesson about it…”

Silence reigns for a moment as Brucie moves to kiss his husband for a second, wanting to thank him for indulging his curiosity and, of course…because he can’t handle not being all over him at any given moment whenever they have time…though… “…I may have…another question right now, Haurche.”

Mayhaps they weren’t going to leave bed today either, too busy enjoying their little moment on cloud nine, in more than one sense.

I hate how people will look at popular indie artists who had one or two songs go viral on TikTok and start making fun of anybody who listens to them. "Oh you listen to Lemon Demon, Will Wood, Jack Stauber, Glass Animals, and Mother Mother? Tsk, don't you know that is stupid TikTok neurodivergent white transmasc preteen music? It's so mid and bad you should listen to real music–" you are a pit of misery

[inkskinned]

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

I just think everyone should take a moment to consider the question "what is your visual shorthand for cruelty?" and then follow it up with a critical "and who taught you that?"

specific examples include but are not limited to

why is an evil timeline character design disabled? (why do the heroes go through equally punishing battles and never lose an arm, a leg, an eye?)

why are the futuristic scifi terrorists uniformly darker skinned? (why are the heroes so much lighter?)

why is the greedy boss fat? (why are the heroes skinny?)

why is the criminal mastermind heavily scarred? (why is the brooding, traumatized hero unscathed?)

why is the predatory creep a bearded person in a dress and makeup? (why are none of the heroes trans women?)

who taught you that this is how things are?

how long do you plan on repeating it?

I'm as grateful for cellphones as the next person, but sometimes I think about how everyone having a phone on them at all times really did cause us to loose some things as a society. I mean - for example, kids these days will never experience their car breaking down and needing to find the nearest place with a phone they can use. They're never going to have the opportunity to tentatively approach a house only to discover that it's full of queer people having a party hosted by a transvestite to celebrate his creation of a sex homunculus, stay the night, and loose their virginity while unintentionally partaking in cannibalism. It's tragic, that kind of gay sexual awakening just doesn't happen these days because of cellphones.

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love

"people show their true colours in life threatening situations" no, they show you what they act like when they're mortally terrified, an emotion notorious for literally turning your entire brain off to the point where people who go into those situations as a profession need to be literally trained on how to not have that happen

can't believe we're all adults being forced into the club penguin level of censorship in 2024

idk why people get super pedantic about the movie logic in Home Alone and start and try to pick it apart, because like, its a Christmas movie about a child accidentally being left home alone, the premise isn't exactly asking us to suspend our disbelief that much, and yet nearly every single "gotcha" question I see people bring up about this film is literally answered within the first 15 minutes :/

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

When will someone gently take all the internet food bloggers by the shoulders, look into their eyes, and explain that coconut milk is not a neutral-flavored dairy substitute
