Perceptive kid, I wonder just how much they pretend not to overhear.

Purple Spider from Sly 2: Band of Thieves

so basically. there was a labyrinth. built for the express purpose of sealing a monstrous abomination born of a sacrilegious union. a labyrinth that needed tributes to be sacrificed to it. ladies, gents and delicious friends: we got minos'd.

satoru always guilt trips you into giving him more kisses and you simply fall for it every time bc what else can you do when that lonely and not properly loved prior to you man gives you the hangdog look like you’re breaking up with him as soon as you pull away from the kiss

His Good Luck Charm

It started because you were stressed one day. You don't even remember how long ago it was or what it was even about but you found your way into his office after something at work drove your battery to the absolute limit and just sat on the floor next to him.

He'd been speedrunning. Not that you remembered what, but it was what he'd been doing. So you sat on the floor next to him, back to the wall, knees curled up as you played on your phone.

A few weeks later you did the same thing.

And again.

Soon it became habit. Even beyond being stressed or anxious or even just tired, as soon as you were done for the day, if he was speedrunning, you were on the floor next to him.

Most of the time now you even stayed nearby until he started speedrunning and then you would creep into his office and find your spot on the floor.

Sometimes, Sly would join you, curling up in your lap. Sometimes you'd have food as you sat there. Most of the time, though, you were either watching him or scrolling on your phone.

You liked being in there with him, he enjoyed being able to reach over and pat your head if he was getting frustrated. Or half the time just because he could.

It was part of your guys' normal now.

It was even at the point where if you weren't in there within the first few minutes of him running, he'd come find you or text you. He said it was because your presence made him better at runs.

Like a four leaf clover or a rabbit's foot, he said. You were his good luck charm. You didn't really believe it but him and chat did. Besides it meant you got to spend more time with him whether you guys talked during the runs or not.

A win either way.

Until he ruffled your hair too much, at least. Then he was in for a world of snarky comments and playful side eyes.

And if you ever fell asleep sitting on the floor, he'd get off stream as quickly and quietly as possible before carrying you to bed and tucking you in.

It was a good habit to have gotten into.

Thinking about Mato and crying

He was the weakest of the brothers but the most excited and determined to become a nail master.

He looked up to Sheo so much, he is still thinking about him and hoping that he thinks of him and Oro in turn.

Sheo left them at some point to pursue another path and Oro betrayed and left Mato probably not long after.

Despite Mato's grudge against Oro the evidence that he still cares for him very much is there. specifically in the god home, where he jumps in to defend Oro when he is knocked down.

His dream nail dialogue in the fight is "Brothers always fight together!" And "Don't leave me behind!"

Clearly he feels he was abandoned by his brothers.

He thinks that he is unworthy of even being in the presence of the nail sage. His own father.

Mato is so enthusiastic and kind and so so lonely!!

He feels he is abandoned and unwanted, and he so desperately wants to be wanted!

and the thing that really gets me is just how much effort he puts into making it especially clear how loved and wanted his own pupil is!

If you choose not to be taught by him, he assumes you believe you are unworthy and quickly assures you that isn't true.

He gives you grand compliments, and tells you that "you honor him beyond words."

Even when he begins rambling about Oro after learning that you had met him, he quickly catches himself and says "I'm sorry. I shouldn't bother you with such things. I'm happy you were able to train under another nailmaster and grow stronger."

He so readily sets aside his grudge, and expresses his happiness for you !!

He genuinely wants his pupil to be proud of themself. He doesn't want them to ever feel the way he did.

He is so loving and so lonely..

When you come to visit him again for the first time, he is genuinely surprised and says it is "an honor he scarcely deserves"

This man needs a family!! This is a family man he shouldn't be alone!!!!

Hi!!!! For the prompt thing!

“Is that how you see me?” With Azul?

Hi hiiii!!! :D thank you for asking!!! <3

(fwb dialogues)

"If we pretend to be a newly married couple, do you think this hotel would give us the honeymoon suite?" Idly, you scroll through photos of the hotel and its rooms, admiring the jacuzzi bath and the wide, tall windows with a breathtaking view. "It's a nice place. Kinda expensive, though."

Azul looks up from the economics magazine he's been poring over for the past fifteen minutes now. He sits against the headboard of his bed, and you're lying flat on your back. Your legs are draped over his lap in a casual sprawl. Sometimes, when you're side by side like this, he thinks otherwise of your arrangement.

Just marry 'em already, Floyd had once said. You're doin' all the usual shit couples do. What's one more step?

Although that 'one more step' is more like a giant, impossible leap across a yawning cavern with a horrendous drop. He can't risk it.

Azul peers at your phone when you hand it to him. He flicks through the images, assessing quality and aesthetics in one go. "It's not bad. Why a honeymoon suite, though?"

"I dunno. It sounds fun. I think we'd pass as a believable couple."

He exhales through his nose, amused. "Is that how you see me? As a stand-in husband?"

"Your words."

Azul rolls his eyes playfully, an impish grin tugging at his lips. He sets his magazine and your phone on the bedside table before moving to lie beside you. You peer at him as he props himself up on one arm.

"Your implication," he counters, leaning in to rub noses with you.

"Your choice." You wink, preening under the affectionate treatment. "So what do you think? Vacation as a faux married couple—yes or no?"

"My answer should be clear enough." Azul drags you into a lazy embrace, pressing his forehead to yours. "Come with me to pick out a ring. If we're going to commit to the act, we might as well cover all of our bases, yes?"

"Fine by me."

"My dearest angelfish, you've made me the happiest man," he exaggerates.

"Save that for when you put the ring on me, charmer."

"It doesn't hurt to practice now. Shall I lend you my surname for rehearsal?"

You loop your arms around him, legs intertwining. "Why, how kind of you."

The rest of your gratitude is expressed in a slow, sweet kiss.

Me @ y’all falling for a baseless Sly 5 release rumor for the umpteenth time

[ahalliance]

i think a crucial aspect of the codebreakers dynamic that is sometimes overlooked is how likewise enamoured phil is with étoiles . like étoiles is the god of praising and hyping people up so people tend to focus on how much étoiles thinks phil is the coolest guy ever but do not forget that phil also thinks étoiles is the coolest fucking guy to ever guy he will never pass up an opportunity to talk about how cool and strong and funny étoiles is . their relationship is built on their mutual ‘WOW this guy is awesome’ feelings for one another and it is amazing

[aimfor-theheart]

men love to try and tee me up for their next relationship while they’re still dating their current gf and i am never interested. NEVER.

"You look great."

"Trying to charm your way to good graces with me, killer? With my blood fresh on your hands? Do you think that will help the situation?"

Voice of the Cold:

What a liar. Our hands don't have blood on them.

Voice of the Prince:

She probably means metaphorically.

Voice of the Cold:

She should have said that, then.

The Narrator:

Either way, you have no reason to work towards "good graces" with her, she just needs to be slain.

Voice of the Cold:

She is dead. Are you not paying attention?

Voice of the Prince:

At least mostly dead.

"Your empty words aren't going to fix the mess you wrought. If that's all you're going to say to me, then maybe you should be keeping your mouth shut."
