the concept of the admirers of knights giving them tokens or "favors" to show their love before a tournament or battle has me so fucked up today. like it's such a small gesture but it speaks volumes. i cannot be there in body next to you in the dust and blood and pain to share your victory or defeat, your suffering or your celebration, because honor and duty and social convention requires that i be elsewhere, so wear me over your heart so that my own might go with you. i cannot keep you safe but if you wear my love perhaps the world and its people will be kinder to one it knows has another waiting for it to rejoin them. nobody else might even know who the ribbon tied to your arm or flower tucked in your breastplate belongs to unless they saw us exchange it, but you and i know. and they will know that we exist. they will know that our love exists.

me drying the tears of a 6 year old at work: aw, i’m sorry, that’s rough - but look, you’ll probably feel way better about it once you’ve had a snack me, responding to my flatmate or partner being anxious: hmm fair but also you’ll probably feel better if you eat something me, responding to my mum telling me she can’t get past feeling constantly tired: and are you sure you’re eating enough? like, stuff with protein and carbs and fat? me, forgoing a real dinner to get more stuff done, feeling like shit: by Talos,

“Souls are kind of hard to destroy. Unless you’re the sort of person who eats them. In which case: digestion!”

The Duality of Moghome. Aka I’m having a great time in Heavensward
Feat. Estinien trembling like a cat haunted by static cling and packing peanuts; and Ysayle asking for 1 extra hour in the moogle pit.

Nidhogg had been felled and victory had been called. The war was won. Adhamh’s thoughts, however, were not to celebration but to seeking out his bard. There he was, across the bridge half destroyed in the chaos, and he ran. Every limb screamed for rest—for respite after the battles just fought—but he ran nonetheless.
There was a shimmer of sound, a clash of metal, as chainmail hit chainmail, Adhamh pulling the smaller man into him, his hands gripping the other’s head in a tender ferocity. He spoke no words, letting his lips carry his emotions—his relief, his anxiety, his fear, his love; an entire unspoken conversation between the lovers finding themselves on the other side of the heat of battle. It was a passionate exchange that spanned ages over the course of a minute. Then, the knight pulled back and he stared into his bard with love-drunk eyes and in a moment of pure, unfiltered spontaneity, the words unceremoniously slipped right off his tongue,
“—Marry me.”

a blog: *follows me*
me, an aged monarch lounging on my fur-strewn throne, gesturing for my servant to bring me my monacle: Bring them here! Bring them here, I say. Let me look at them.
guards: *drag the unwitting blog before me*
me, peering intently at the new blog and poking them with my scepter: Is this a real person? Hmm? What have you to say for yourself? What are your fandoms? Your interests? Speak up, these old ears aren’t what they used to be.
guards, tentatively: they do seem to be a real person, sire. We found them in possession of several memes and a fandom rant.
me, subsiding back into my sumptuous furs and waving them away: most extraordinary. It has been an age since there was a real person, but just as well, the dungeons have been overflowing with those tacky pornbots. This newcomer may remain in my domain. Make them welcome. And fetch me a quill! I feel a ficlet coming on…

You have been sentenced to death in a magical court. The court allows all prisoners to pick how they die and they will carry it out immediately. You have it all figured out until the prisoner before you picks old age and is instantly transformed into a dying old man. Your turn approaches.
