What your Future Spouse will admire about you?

Pile 1

Your reading is SO BEAUTIFUL Pile 1, really😭😭

First of all: you have a very feminine energy (high priestess) which is like kryptonite for man🤣😁. You see, the hight priestess have a profound connection with God/Goddess. She believes everyone has their own inner guidance to lead them to their true potential. And you do this! You trust your intuition, follow your heart and your instincts and this makes your s.p just go crazy, I feel like he is very logical and he admires your away of leadership, in your own away (doesn't matter if you realize this or not) you are a leader, you inspire people without even realizing it. With you, he feels healed, you just bring so much peace, calmness and joy to him. And talking about joy: you have a childlike personality, you inner child is very happy and free, you know when it's time to be silly (happy dance) and he admires this in you, you bring his child side and makes he feels comfortable to play and just be silly with you. I feel like my heart will explode of joy right now so I think that's how he feels with you, and this makes he admire you a lot because at the same time you are a very elegant, femine and wise, very responsible you ALSO are fun to be with, you know how to play and you have this magic to him. (He loves you so very much I just can't 😭💗).

And you are confident, I feel you have the mindset of "what is mine will find me" so if something goes wrong you just drive to overcome the obstacle in a positive way. When you have a goals, you work with very fierce energy to bring them to fruition (but the thing is: you do all fo this in a very feminine, gentle and fun way, and he just admires you incredible for this).

Signs: jupiters placements, Gemini, cancer and aries and number's 6,9,5 and 8 (I think cancer's placements are important because cancer's symbol looks like a 69 and you had this two numbers. Cam also be dates or months), books, library, education, parks, lakes and flowers. (And music!!!!!! Omg I think it's important to youu or them, maybe he'll communicate his feelings by songs)

P.S: I was going to pile two but I just heard this: you help them to heal his inner child in some way, and this is something very very important to them and by extension to y'all relationship.

P.S²: I was again going to Pile two- but here it is: he admires you for that because, I feel like this problem with his inner child maybe has affected in a negative way his others relationships and you, somehow, handle this really easy, you don't even realize actually (and I just saw he looking to any place in particular think about this and feeling genuinely happy)

Blonde and redhead for some feel here.

Pile 2

Finally I'm here, hello pile 2♡ let's get into your reading shall we?

Calmness. You are so calm, even in the worst situations, you maintain a sense of peace (or try your best to!). I see here that you have multiple interests and you try to balance all of them and other areas of your life, but you don't stress yourself with this. It's like, if doesn't work it's fine, cause you are adaptable and flexible (and he REALLY admires this because I feel like your future Spouse has a tiny-bit-tittie problem with control (wink nod) and you are kind of the opposite lmao, he see you having all this interests and priorities but... it's not a obligation like "omg I HAVE to do ALL" no. You want to do all, but it's okay if don't work some days, he admires you organization and the way you management your time and schedule. I feel your s.p like calm and stable people, he doesn't like unnecessary drama in his life and you just have this flow, if something doesn't work you just be flexible and this is important too: you think before make decisions! 100% not reactive, you think and go inwards before choosing anything. And you have a introspective side that he just loves too much.

I feel like you are someone who brings them peace love and very good advices when needed (after all no one likes be with someone who just complains, fight for every minimal thing, always need to be right to feel "respected" etc, he admires the peace bring with you.) I feel he deals with a lot of stress in his work place and when he sees you... it's too good, like a oasis.

Signs: poems, tea, wind place, scorpio, leo, sagittarius, venus, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune placements are important, numbers 7, 11 and 12 (can be days, months or house in astrology; 7 represents love and commercial partnerships and our relation with public, 11 it's ruled by Saturn and Uranus (definitely a lot of air sign) and talks about flow, strong thinking and important of expansion and 12 it's the house of our unconscious, fears, dreams and spirituality)

Pile 3

I feel like you give a lot of importance to material possessions, you don't act like "Oh money isn't important blablabla" you know money is important, you work to have a good life, to you things like good education, good house in a great neighborhood, travel to have fun but to also acquire culture and knowledge, good clothes with quality. This are important too you (is giving me old money mindset vibes and if you don't know about it, and I'm NOT talking about the "old money" from Tiktok - I highly recommend the "The Old Money Book: Living better while spending less" to you, it's very short has 158 pages) but you don't live FOR money, the money is your servant not your master!

He admires how you always seem to have a behavior like "this is only temporary and shall pass soon" when something bad or uncomfortable happens, and he really admires this. You have a very outgoing personality, full of energy and optimism (and you have some kind of sex appeal but in a elegant way), you are not afraid to work to have the things you desire, your energy is very positive and uplifting (I feel like your future Spouse enjoys SO MUCH talk to you, he loves to see you so determined to get the things you want and he has this feeling that you two will evolve and grow together.

Also: you are a generous soul, with money and with your time, love and affection and wisdom. Maybe you are into some charity, you are very loving and loyal and this... big turn on to them, I think it's honestly the thing he admires most about you, your personality, your values. You like a rare jewel to them.

Signs: VERY strong water placements, pisces, scorpio and cancer, moon, sun and Mars placements (makes so much sense because mars rules goals) numbers 6, 5, 4 and 8 (can be days, months or house. 6 its concrete and practical knowledge, it's also associated to cleanse, maintenance, work capacity and routine service's (again: makes so much sense, you guys value quality and take care of what you have so last longer, don't have need to buy new things), 5 it's you creative side, what gives you pleasure, 4 it's what we have most profound in us and 8 transition of life and things, ending of cycles).

Hope y'all like this reading, it's my first reading related to love and I'm so happy, I had so much fun doing this and hope you guys too. See you in the next reading.

Xoxo

- Lia

hey, congrats 100 followers !! i would love to join your celebration♡ may i request beastzai (or js adazai) with the scenario married life (1) & all in all, it was a typical tuesday (8) as the prompt ?

congrats on 100 again !!!! it’s a big number and a big achievement !!

I think Dazai is really hot too.

✧˚ · . vroom vroom, than a table for two - dazai osamu

he certainly couldn’t complain.

summary ⋆ ★ comfort, fluff, established relationship (marriage with reader), SFW → icky PDA, cutesy nicknames, minor mention of sex (it’s like barely there though) and overall puppy husband dazai. also obvious mentions of suicide its DAZAI

It was Tuesday.

And also another hardworking day at the Agency. So, so tiring, according to your husband—not that he ever worked—to the point where he simply needed a break with his lovely spouse. That’s how you found yourself hand-in-hand with him during your lunch break, walking down the sidewalks of Yokohama while he excitedly spoke about a new suicide method he had heard of.

Yesterday was a homemade shrapnel bomb, today was a wrecking ball.

“Basically, you hide out in a building that’s scheduled to be demolished and eventually it collapses on you! Pretty sweet, isn’t it?”

Quirking an eyebrow, he turned to you expectantly, a cheery smile on his face. It was quick, painless enough method of suicide. Beautiful in a way, too. Sunlight would be warming his skin, the air fresh and crisp and then tons of concrete and plaster would crush his entire body in one fell swoop. No pain, just gain of access to the afterlife.

Looking back at him, you sheepishly shrugged, replying back to amuse both him and yourself. 50% of the time, his attempts were idiotic and funny, the other 50% was genuinely worrying and mildly terrifying. Today seemed to be the former, though. Thankfully.

Plus, it wasn’t like the method would even work due to some random info you found out about on the internet.

“Yeah, but I’m like, ninety-nine percent sure they check the buildings for people before they demolish them. So you’d get found out.”

Your tone was as equally playful and light as his. He wouldn’t really kill himself. You weren’t ready for a double suicide yet, sadly. His lips curled into a frown when you mentioned how it wouldn’t work, his fingers squeezing yours as he exaggerated his sigh.

“And here I was, certain of my demise! Guess that means I’ll be with you a bit longer, darling.”

Not that he really minded.

Sure, he constantly went off about suicide and how beautiful the whole concept was, but at the end of the day, he wouldn’t want to die without you at his side. He’s firmly one of those people who’d kill himself after his beloved died. He wouldn’t know what to do with himself after you died. Sure, he made Odasaku a promise, but he made you a vow.

Until death do them part.

When you died, so would he.

But no one was dying today. Just a happy day for a happy couple.

Dazai’s hand slipped out of yours, curling around your hips instead as he pulled you closer to his side. He wanted to show off his pretty partner to anyone who happened to look over at you two. Show off the person who owns his heart and soul and is his perfect reason to live for just a little bit longer. No one else deserved his gorgeous belladonna.

Just him and him only.

Only Dazai could kiss your lips at any given moment—publicly or privately—, and only he could watch you dress up for dates, brushing out your hair while he mumbled compliments into the spot where your collarbone met your neck. Only Dazai could spend hours with you at night, hearing his name from your lips while his fingers intertwined with yours at the intimate moments.

No one else could hope to do the same with you.

That’s why he soon was leading you into a bakery, the smell of pastries and bread flooding the air as he looked over the treats in the display cases. Black sesame roll cakes, all squishy looking and yummy. The cookies ranging from chocolate chip to matcha and plain vanilla. They all looked so good, but the prices weren’t quite the same.

God, when it came to money, Dazai wished he was still in the Mafia. At least he had tons of it back then.

Now, he had to be a bit more frugal with his income from the Agency. Sure, you guys weren’t dirt poor or unable to afford food and other necessities, but you couldn’t always get special snacks like this. Maybe once every week or two, if you could do so.

Nudging your shoulder, he tapped the glass, looking at you expectantly. He always did this—letting you choose what the two of you would eat. Dazai didn’t mind either. You had good taste unlike his diet of canned crab and alcohol.

“I trust my lovely spouse’s taste and that you’ll pick something good like always.”

He was such a puppy. Only for you, he thought.

“Uhmm…dunno. Pick a number, one or two.”

Dazai placed a finger on his lips, pretending to be in thought like it was the most important decision in his twenty-two years of life so far. Brows furrowed in concentration, eyes darting between you and the sweet treats while he hummed quietly. One or two? Eh. He’d go with two. There was the two of you here, after all.

“Two.”

He watched as you pointed at a slice of strawberry cheesecake, your eyes looking at him for approval. Honestly, Dazai never understood why you wanted his approval for everything. You were his equal—his life partner, nonetheless—so there was really no need for this behavior. But he couldn’t blame you. Even now, he had a bit of a commanding aura.

“Oooooh, that looks good! Knew you’d pick something tasty.”

Dazai pecked your cheek affectionately while he held your hand walking to the counter, ordering two slices of strawberry cheesecake, taking out Kunikida’s credit card that he had ‘borrowed’ from the blondie earlier at work. Compared to the thievery he had committed in his younger years, it was practically begging to be used with how his wallet was smack dab in the middle of his desk.

Carefully holding the two plates of the cheesecake slices, he led you over to a table in the corner, giving you a fork as he sat down across from you. He didn’t eat until you dug into your piece first, making sounds of contentment as sweetness coated both your taste buds. Geez, it was good. Worth the price for sure. The corner of your lips were stained with the white frosting, and so he swiped his thumb over the mess, cooing at you like a parent.

“Ah ah, ‘donna. You’re getting messy.”

Dazai liked the flush of your face. How flustered you were as you insisted you could clean yourself and that you weren’t a baby and a fully capable grown adult.

“I’m not a baby, ‘samu! I can take care of myself, ‘kay?”

Of course, of course.

“Uh-huh. And you’re not a baby. You’re my baby. My clumsy little baby who can’t eat without making a mess.”

Chewing on the rest of his slice, minutes passed, filled with conversations between the two of you about work, how Atsushi was doing—probably still traumatized and fucked over, is what you both agreed about—, plans for dinner. You tastefully ignored his comment about what he wanted for dessert. At least there weren’t any kids in the bakery.

Thankfully for everyone else in the establishment, your ‘lunch’ was finished. Walking out of the cafe, he clasped onto your hand firmly, feeling his wedding ring rub against your skin. The sounds of honking and birds chirping filled the air, but all Dazai could hear were your gentle breaths coupled with the sound of your footsteps.

Nothing really mattered besides you, in his eyes.

His everything—his reason to live.

Eternally.

pac: your future spouse’s spiritual gifts and abilities

all images from pinterest and google. dividers from @/roseschoices

what spiritual gifts and abilities does your fs possess? take a deep breath, clear your mind if only for a moment, and ask yourself that question. your pile is the one that lights you up inside. please take what resonates, leave what doesn’t. and above all, be kind to yourself and each other.

🚪 p.s. i love feedback and i’m somewhat new to love readings. please pop in my inbox, leave tags or comments with your thoughts!

O N E (cosmo & wanda)

pile one, your future spouse possesses a clear sense of spiritual and moral right and wrong. their first dealings in this were most likely from their family’s financial background, which was rooted in scarcity and fear of lack. your fs has since shed that belief through hard work and dedication to uncover the universal truth that abundance is free flowing. as universal law is something that resonates within them so deeply, they’re likely an avid reader of various belief systems like confucianism and taoism that insist on a way of life. your future spouse is not someone who interested in organized religion, law, or politics. instead they favour understanding the world as a whole and natural laws that govern it. their clear understanding of right and wrong and their own morals and beliefs will help you uncover what is hidden within you as well. however, your future spouse tends to forget to consider the emotional weight their words may carry, favoring honesty over kindness. in you, they may find that you can be both genuine and honest while being kind at the same time. what a match.

vibes: aquarian moon or aquarius dominant, fire venus, post-modernism, love of the arts and drama, 12h water sign, twin flame energy— you’ll both have to learn something to successfully be together

(five of coins; six of rods; six of blades; justice)

T W O (mulan & shang)

pile two, your future spouse is a master manifester. they are blessed with a charismatic and divine presence that makes other flock to them. they’ve found that what they desire seems to come to them effortlessly, in a stroke of luck or series of “coincidences”. and more than once, they’ve found themselves the centre of attention. they have a strong sense of self, a clear vision of their desires, and express genuine gratitude . this is someone who would likely resonate with the teachings of abraham hicks. your fs spends a lot of time daydreaming and is not attached to material things, instead desiring a comfortable home life and/or dreaming of settling down with “the one”. however, they tend to lose focus as they try to share their gifts in efforts to please everyone. this is because they have that strong sense of family and a desire for harmony within their home life mentioned previously. you are more than aware to the fact that pleasing everyone is not possible and only leads to burn out in the end. perhaps your presence in their life can help them mitigate their desire to give so much of themselves as you teach them that pleasing everyone is not sustainable. how beautiful.

vibes: debilitated ketu, mixologist (mocktails & cocktails), old soul energy, avatar the last airbender specifically the air nomads, dreamer energy, yellow and pink energy

(nine of elixirs; ten of rods; ten of elixirs; judgment)

T H R E E (suki & sokka)

pile three, i get the sense that some of you here are coming from pile two or were leaning towards choosing that one. the cards show that your future spouse’s spiritual gifts lie in their intuition and clairaudience. there’s a dreamlike quality to this pile which strongly hints that they often receive intuitive messages through prophetic dreams or dreams with obvious meaning. because your future spouse does not come from a spiritual background, these dreams and heard messages were often dismissed as a “child’s fantasy” or a vivid imagination. their gift is something most likely passed down from their paternal side, though your future spouse’s home life has not always been easy. despite a difficult childhood, your fs is in touch with their inner child and has since healed their own wounds. as indicated by the king and page of elixirs appearing together in this reading, your future spouse is someone connected to the depths of their inner power, and yet remains sensitive and loving. however, their vivid dreams come with a flip side. your fs is prone to nightmares when they are not in alignment with what they are truly meant for. that is to say, when they are stressed, their vivid dreams reflect that and become vivid nightmares. perhaps encouraging them to keep a private dream journal would help them better feel their way through both through their dreamworld and their waking one. you will find peace in one another.

vibes: prioritizes smelling good, tends to lean towards aquatic scents, “i had a feeling that..”, “this reminds me of a dream i had..”, deja vu, loves naps, mentor/teacher energy

(king of elixirs; the high priestess; page of elixirs; nine of blades rx -> six of elixirs)

F O U R (flynn rider & rapunzel)

pile four, your future spouse isn’t someone who is inherently spiritual. at most, they have a vague, underlying belief in karma. they understand and resonate with phrases like “you reap what you sow” and “what goes around comes around”. but, it feels like they’re still “asleep” to spiritual world as a whole. while its unclear what spiritual gift your future spouse possesses, they are someone of genuine kindness and insane generosity. this is someone who always seems to be in good fortune and is likely reaping the rewards of good work done in a past life. the universe is a close friend of theirs in this lifetime. somehow, your fs is also someone who is not inclined to do something that is not asked of them. whether obliviousness or laziness, this conflicts with their generous nature. as a result, they’re going through a rude awakening right now as the universe is showing them a little tough love to get them back on track. it’s likely that you’ll meet them while they are still in the throes of feeling sorry for themselves. your future spouse is someone you get to educate about your esoteric interests (ex. astrology, tarot, etc) should that be something you’re willing to do. have faith and they’ll find theirs too. how fun!

vibes: liar, liar (1997), being oblivious to signs from universe, a very quiet mind

(six of coins; page of coins; eight of rods; the tower -> eight of elixirs)

F I V E (esmerelda & phoebus)

pile five, your future spouse’s gifts is their intellect, both spiritual and mental, and their own energy. your fs’ inner world is rich and within them are balanced energies of the divine masculine and divine feminine. because of this, they have the tools and resources to solve their own problems and pave their own paths. your fs is patient enough to see a plan through and is guided by inspired action on what steps to take. this is someone who tends to follow their mind over their emotions. they rely on their own validation and are not easily swayed by others’ opinions. however, while shuffling and even interpreting the cards, a sort of ‘scatterbrained’ energy was heavily felt. often, your future spouse lacks focus and struggles with taking the first steps necessary. they have an ingrained aversion to risk, though they have become accustomed to brushing this off as procrastination. this is likely the result of doubt due to a past “failure” and is a lesson they are meant to overcome in this lifetime. perhaps you can impart wisdom from your own experiences on them. there is no such thing as failures, only learning opportunities. what is meant for us will not pass us by. you two make a valiant couple.

vibes: aaron burr, wait for it (hamilton the musical), nick miller, north node in sagittarius, north node in aries, “there is freedom waiting for you, on the breezes of the sky, and you ask "what if i fall?" oh but my darling, what if you fly?” (erin hanson)

(two of rods; strength rx; the fool rx -> three of blades; king of blades)

S I X (wade & ember)

pile six, most of you reading this are empaths and healers. your future spouse was gifted with a spiritual awakening early on in their life. they have a vast understanding of the forces at work in the universe and because of this, their relationship to life and the divine is truly beautiful. they are very attentive to their own inner world. they understand themselves and are at peace with all parts of them, even the parts they can’t understand. this is someone who is very accountable for their own thoughts, beliefs, feelings and actions. and they want to connect with a partner who wants to explore themselves and the world in this way. while this is a gift, it comes with a flip side. your future spouse is prone to overthinking and sometimes gets so caught up in their own desire to understand the universe that they become victims to a sort of “analysis paralysis”. they work try to understand the how and why behind a situation that they often end up missing out on genuine opportunities that are meant to carry them forward. perhaps you can teach them to slow down and trust that what is meant will always find them. you two are the definition lovingkindness.

vibes: red roses, glasses, “last night i realised something”, synchronicities, the friend you always come to advice for, fomo, spider-man comics, leo placements, mtv hoodie, air rising

(the wheel of fortune; queen of coins; the magician rx; queen of elixirs rx)

totally didnt trip and run here…why would that happen.

anywho, stolas x stellas cousin!gn! reader :3 idrc if its platonic or romantic this man needs a friend/someone to care ab him and actually show it (staring at blitzø)

if platonic, then it could be that they have a marriage of convenience and stolas is off put but them but they reassure both him and octaviva that they arent like their cousins lol and from there they befriend stolas and be his rock for whenever blitzø shuts down and pushes stolas away

if romantic then it could just be a silly slow burn with stilas veru confused bc he loves blitzø but also is beginning to like his new spouse?! (then they could talk and the cousin could be like “dude we dont gotta be exclusive. esp since u still like the imp dude. if u want, take thing slow, see where u end up and how you feel.”)

and when reader shows affection stolas is taken aback bc all the people in his life aren’t really forward with their own affections?

soz if this is lengthy 😭😭 i love this sad bird sm and just want him to have someone to rely on that isnt his kid or his BF

It wasn't just a marriage of convenience.

Pairing: Stolas x GN! Stella's cousin! Reader

Warnings: Stella slander (im sorry), very slight blitz slander (again, sorry)

Word count: 816

✰Masterlist

Stolas wasn't too keen on remarrying, especially when he found out it would be his ex-wife's cousin. He expected to be just like the rest of your snobby family.

The first time he met you, your beak upturned in a smile that could've been fake. But there was no faking the look in your eyes. The way you were hanging off every word as he talked. That was the most genuine thing about your family. Your eyes always gave you away. Stolas learned that quickly with Stella. Even when she was trying to be nice, her eyes always revealed her true feelings.

After the wedding, Stolas realized the heels of your fancy shoes didn't echo in the hallways like Stella's did. Her footsteps always sent chills down his spine because they were always filled with fury. No matter where you were in the palace, you could always hear her coming.

The first time you threw a ball, it wasn't for a selfish reason, it was for your friend's birthday. Unlike Stella's amazing idea of a 'not divorced' party. She would glide across the ballroom with fake poise, her head turned up at everyone who was below her. But you move so effortlessly and with such elegance that you could put your cousin to shame.

It felt odd to be living with you at first. To be sleeping in the same bed. But you mostly kept to yourself during the day. Stolas finally could get some peace and quiet now that Stella's constant torment was gone. During dinner, when you were all sat at the table, you would have an actual conversation with him. Octavia seemed to like you as well, the two of you would talk about things that she liked. And you would hangout in the library at night.

You weren't trying to be a new parent for Via. Or a new spouse for Stolas. You were just simply existing in the same space. Not trying to disrupt the environment before you. Maybe that's why he was just so drawn to you. You cared about his problems, listened to him, but didn't pry. Even when your cousin was brought up, you were never angry. You were just an observer.

But now Stolas was in a dilemma. He likes Blitz, but now he also likes.. you? It sent his head into spirals, rethinking the last year of his life. It was so bad he couldn't concentrate on the words in his book. Because just a few feet away his spouse sat at their vanity, putting some eye drops in their eyes. Stolas takes a deep breath, going over every outcome in his head. Before he knew what he was doing, the words were coming out of his mouth. "Uh, hey?"

This gains your attention, and you turn to him. But not just your head, you did a full body turn towards him. Satan you were so beautiful. Stolas would compare your beauty to that of the stars. Your head tilts every so slightly, your eyes fill with affection. "Yes?"

"I'm having a bit of a problem.." Stolas admits, setting his book on the nightstand. By the time he looked back at you, you were already sitting on the bed with him. "What kind of problem?"

"I think I'm starting to love you..." He mumbles scratching the back of his neck and then smoothing down his feathers. "Why is that a problem?"

You already knew about his relationship with Blitz as he would often express his issues to you. It was a very simple question, but it made Stolas even more confused. "Because I can't like two people at once."

He shakes his head, his hands in his lap. You raise an eyebrow, then chuckle to yourself. "Stolas, we don't have to be exclusive. Especially since I know how special that Imp is to you. We can take things slow, see if we like it. If not, we can go back to how things are, I won't be upset."

His eyes widen at your words. His body felt like it was on fire. But not the 'I'm horny' kind of fire. More like 'I love you so much I think I'm going to explode' kind. "Could I.. kiss you then?"

You smile, the type of smile that made his heart melt for you. You inch over to him, taking his wing in yours. "I would love nothing more than that."

It was one of the most love filled, passionate kisses that Stolas had ever experienced. His claws grabbing at you like you'd slip away if he didn't. Your claws touch his face delicately, as if he were a glass figure that would shatter if you pressed too hard. When the two of you pull away, Stolas buries his face into your neck. And the two of you cuddle into each other for the rest of the night.

thoughts/ramblings re ascended Astarion

(Act 3 spoilers)

I want to preface this by saying I completely understand why people would like or prefer this version and I have no beef with them, these are just my own opinions and feelings after playing through that route with a certain type of character

(I have not finished the final battle, but otherwise this run of the game is complete)

The only word I can really come up with to describe A!Astarion is ‘unsettling’. Which, imo, is exactly how it is supposed to be for a character who genuinely loved and cared about him and wanted to have their love reciprocated the same way.

I have to also extend a ton of credit to Neil Newbon, bc when he said he essentially “got to play two characters”, he was 100% correct and I think he nails both of them.

In terms of the way the sudden change in character felt, I would liken it to if you had a spouse who was kind of a smarmy bastard but otherwise not too horrible of a person - they had faults and you knew it, accepted them anyway. And then one day they get like…this huge promotion at work that changes their entire personality. Maybe they went from prison guard to prison warden, and prison guard!spouse was fine and could be put in their place when they got a little too cocky or power hungry, but prison warden!spouse will threaten to snap your neck for trying.

The particular character I was playing is the type who wouldn’t care about the ‘bad’ parts of him until that’s suddenly all he is. At that point, they realize they made a mistake, but they still love him and desperately want that love reciprocated so they will agree to his demands rather than leave/have him leave. An otherwise confident and independent takes-no-shit character who has one fatal flaw - a debilitating fear of abandonment.

They can see the change immediately, and it terrifies them, but they tell themselves that deep down there still has to be Astarion under there - the Astarion they came to know and care about. If they work at it, maybe they can coax that part of him to come back out. Until then, they will go along with his whims and let him change them too, because the alternative is even more terrifying.

He would be the significant other they frequently make excuses for to the other companions when they express concerns about the way he treats them and other people. And they’d tell themselves that he wouldn’t really hurt them, but at the same time they know that there would be consequences for defiance.

They would feel trapped, used, and owned. But that would seem like a fair price to pay to keep him, still clinging on to the person they used to know him as.

There would come a point where they would have to make that inevitable choice - whether to succumb further to the darkness he dragged them down in, or to stand up for their fate and break away despite how much the loss will hurt. I feel like it could come to a choice between killing him or being killed by him. And deep down, they would know that, even as they agree to let him turn them.

But when he goes on another one of his flowery spiels about how beautiful they are, how much he loves them, they let themselves believe it’s not all empty words despite knowing his ‘profession’ for 200 years was as a lying seducer. They’ve got to be different, they tell themselves. It will be different. Even when it’s not.

#also that chin grab kiss fuckin got me 🥵#like dgmw I LOVE that fucked up dynamic #with other characters of mine it could go way differently and they would get on well with ascended Astarion #but for this particular character it would end up being a costly mistake #I did actually try to stop him from doing the ritual last minute bc it is possible #but then he kills cazador and gets so mad about you ‘stealing his chance at freedom’ that he ups and leaves #so knowing that as a consequence of refusing his wishes at that point #my character would keep quiet and let him ascend #and then realize after that they made a terrible terrible mistake #kitchie beszél #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #baldur's gate iii #astarion #ascended astarion #astarion ancunin

Anonymous OC question of the day!

If you could make a character real, which of your OCs would be:

your bestie

your spouse/partner

your secret lover!

your friendly rival

your enemy!

BONUS: do this for other people’s OCs too!

Pass the game along (anonymously or not)

I got this three times, all anonymously (thanks!) but I'm only going to answer it once. I hope all three of you see it!

This was actually harder than it initially looked. .

Bestie - For this one, I'd pick Beth-Anne. Everybody should have a best friend who's as loyal and honest as she is. Sure, she's rough around the edges and has anger management issues, but she's not afraid of her own imperfections. I'd value having her as a friend because with her, what you see is essentially what you get. There'd be no worries about dishonesty, jealousy or any sort of head games. Plus, if I follow the story's timeline, in real life Beth-Anne and I would be in the same age range (she would be a few years older than me).

Spouse/Partner - A lot of you probably expected me to say Victor for this one, right? As much as I would enjoy having that silver beauty in my life, I don't think we'd be compatible (I might've picked him for bestie, though). He loves to nurture and feel needed and likes being the strong one, and he's proud of his own self-sufficiency. Victor and I are too much alike to be good partners; we'd get on each other's nerves after a while. So, for this one, I'm actually going with Stan. He's kind and caring without being the sort of person who wants to smother or overprotect their partner, and he values independence in other people as much as he values his own independence. He's the type of person who genuinely listens and tries to understand people's feelings and encourages them to find ways to meet their own needs and reach their own goals, but he's also intuitive enough to know when to step in and offer help or comfort. He'd be the sort of partner who'd know how to motivate without making you feel like you're being pushed or nagged into doing something.

Secret Lover! - Davian (don't tell Félix!). No real reason. He's just hot. I might've just as easily picked Eden, Seiji or Mishka for this one. Not that Mishka in context would ever be the "secret lover" type, but since there's no real reason other than general level of hotness behind this one anyway... here we are.

Friendly Rival - This one was actually really difficult, and in the end I figured Yuri would be my most likely friendly rlval. I think we'd be friends, but also rivals in the sense of competing for attention from our favourite people (especially Victor).

Enemy! - Oh, hands down this would be that cat-stealing, husband-abusing bitch, Anya (ask me how I really feel!) She would definitely be my enemy.

Reading your post abt Jill never posting personal stuff abt her kids, I feel like every time one of her kids (as well as other fundies but they’re the clearest example) get engaged or married I always think: what do you see in them? Like not in a mean way, but it just feels like every shred of personality has been stolen from these people, like they’re genuinely all the same person. Same interests (Jesus and church), same quiet sweetness, same wants and desires (babies and babies), same opinions on every topic. It honestly just feels like Nathan could’ve married Kaylee and Jonathan could’ve married Nurie and they would’ve been equally happy. idk it just makes me sad that if you asked Nathan what he likes abt Nurie he probably wouldn’t be able to say anything unique to her, just that she’s a sweet helpmeet who loves Jesus. not that she’s goofy or also a big sports fan or sarcastic or whatever

Yea I mean you hit the nail on the head. Idk if what I'm going to say next is obvious or not, because I just don't have any context for a child/teenage hood without a Christian influence, but in my world there totally was an ideal way to be for women and men and it had very little to do with individual characteristics.

I see a more concentrated version of it in the fundie world, for women it's being happy, upbeat, benign, outgoing (but not too much), extremely dedicated to religion and studying the Bible, modest, and as close to the conventional standard of beauty as you can possibly get. Hobbies outside of anything church related should be practical in some other way and very rarely just your own enjoyment. And if you're ever discussing feelings outside of joy, you have to keep it shallow and generalized and always have an optimistic spin (usually something to do with how everything's ok bc it's God's plan etc etc the ex-christians out there know the spiel).

So when looking for your future spouse, regardless of your gender, you're first looking for someone who meets the Godly Man or Woman criteria. Whether you get along with someone is important too, but it's secondary to the first thing. It'd be better to have a Godly spouse than one you had tons in common with who didn't meet that criteria, if that makes sense.

So in that kind of dating environment, the more the person you're dating is like all the women or men you know (at least the ones you respect) the more desirable they actually are, ya know? Because there's a very cut and dry definition of the kind of person everyone should be, and anyone too different is then just inherently not a Good person.

#does that make sense? sometimes i think i over explain obvious things but when it comes to this kind of stuff im just not sure what's #obvious and what's actually weird culty shit that i was told was common sense ya know #religion #courting

hi i know you said it was okay to gush in your askbox about our f/os and i am feeling Emotional about my husband copia so i thought i'd gush a little bit in your askbox if that's okay? i just got some cute art of him and me that i commissioned and i've just been so overwhelmed with love i need to get it out to someone ;w;

you know i feel like i suck at explaining how copia makes me feel and like how much i love him like i have all of these feelings bubbling inside of me but i don't know how to get them out without feeling like i'm not doing them justice because my love for him is so strong so all-encompassing that i hardly know what to do about it. i've never felt this way before it's kind of scary but a good scary.

like loving him is like a warm blanket on a cold stormy night. loving him is like the first sleep back in your own bed after a long trip away from home. loving him is like finding the perfect piece that pulls together and completes your favorite outfit. i feel echoes of his love in every kind thing that comes my way. his love makes me want to be a better person, to work on myself and have the motivation to push towards my goals. not because i feel like he wouldn't love me if i didn't, but because his love is my motivation, his love reminds me that i'm worthy of love, i'm worth the work it takes for me to find my own happiness. i'm being completely genuine when i say that i don't think there's anyone out of all the people who like him who understand him like i do and who have this same connection to him and i'm glad for that.

i just feel like it's so unfair that he's not real so we can't have our life together ;-; like i want to surprise him by showing up in the crowd at one of his rituals when he's out on tour, and of course he makes a big deal out of it and makes sure that everyone knows that his one and only, his sweet spouse is here with them tonight and they better applaud for it right fucking now!! but when he's back home i want to stay up late playing mario kart with him (he's got quite the competitive streak, so i let him win or else he'll pout, and as cute as he is when he's grumpy like that i figure it's easier to just let myself drift into second place and plus he's even cuter when he's got that smug victorious smirk on his face, lightly teasing me for getting hit by his blue shell), and watch shitty horror movies and laugh at the weird plotlines and bad acting. i want to go out to nice dinner dates and wear cute coordinated outfits. i just want to be with him more than anything in the whole world it drives me crazy how much i love him.

okay wow sorry that was A Lot like i said i'm just very emotional tonight thinking about him and how happy i am to have him in my life....i just think about him all the time i love him so so much....

ending this off with this picture of him that i love!! it's been my lockscreen for months because i can't bring myself to change it ;w;

my husband with a puppy,,,,,(oh to be a puppy being held by him...)

I AM JUST...

i think i have probably written and deleted at least 20 responses to this ask because it is so overwhelmingly beautiful and i feel like you do!!! words can't do it justice!!! this love is bigger than words!!! this love is bigger than me!!! and i'm so glad you have it!!!!!

i am so glad you have it!!! i am so glad you have him!!! i know that this message doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of the way you feel for him and the way he feels for you but the feelings in this message alone are more than what so many people can even imagine!!! this message makes me feel like when you see the ocean or the grand canyon for the first time!!! when all you can do is breathe it in and think about how we are so little and there are things that exist around us that are so overwhelming and vast that we can't barely comprehend it!!! and it makes you a little emotional!!!

thank you, thank you, thank you for coming to me and sharing your feelings with me!!! every single piece of this is just so beautiful and so overwhelming and it makes me feel whole!!! please do not ever apologize about sharing a lot or sharing at all and please know that my ask box is always open for you to gush in!!! you and your husband are always welcome here!!!!! 🖤

#NO RESPONSE OF MINE WILL EVER BE GOOD ENOUGH U KNOW WHAT I MEAN #OF COURSE U DO #BUT I'M STILL SO HAPPY AND SO WHOLE JUST HEARING ABT THIS #AND I'M SO GRATEFUL U CAME TO SHARE!!!#callmelittledoll #ask liv #other ships #character - copia #long post #kelsey don't look

Shooting star - Part 3

John x Veronica

Author note : Hello my beauties. I’m quite proud to be able to be posting this one. At last lol. At first, I thought I could include it in the Johnica week, but it clearly cannot fit in there. This story took time to get figured out, for the plot to mature, for the writing itself to be done. I’m not sure it’s something anyone expects, but this is what I wanted to do. I hope some of you will enjoy it anyways. Thanks in advance to anyone who will be giving honest feedback, it’s always very appreciated. Also, I remind you English isn’t my mother tongue, apologies in advance for the mistakes.

Warnings : Mentions of a sad past, a bit of depression. Intense feelings, good and bad. Please be aware this is a mature writing, not only because of sex intercourse, but also regarding the matters it’s dealing with.

Summary : A man and a woman, named John and Veronica. Feelings, love. Ups and downs. Real and raw.

Words count : 3,355 words

Permanent taglist : @reavenedges-lies @thosequeenboys @born-to-lose @orionis8689 @queenlover05 (i think you know now you need to communicate about your desire to remain or not tagged, thank you)

Part 1 Part 2 are here

Packages and carton boxes everywhere and a messy house. John looks around him, not knowing where and how to start. His wife is taking care of the kids and here he is, once again, on his own. He is aware his lifestyle in the past made him be away often. Far from his family, terribly alone, with no other company but his own thoughts. And they were not always happy ones.

Even when he came back home, he was used to this loneliness. As a result, he almost instinctively kept himself for himself. They were all in the same house, but it didn’t feel like home to him. All in the same place, yet, he didn’t really feel connected to them, to their reality.

At some point, he became aware of this and really tried his best to change his behavior. To be a good father, to be a good husband. He really made efforts to find again this intimacy he was truly craving. But maybe he was merely fooling himself. Perhaps this closeness never existed, and he was only chasing a ghost.

It was possible his family, and more particularly his wife, didn’t even notice his efforts. His attempts for spontaneous hugs, or unprompted romantic dinners were always a failure. His spouse was continually cold and distant.

There was a time when she actually became closer to him. That was when he felt like he had reached the bottom. It seemed to him that he had lost everything. His whole life falling apart, and it was as if there was nothing and no one to convince him to carry on living. Even if he never actually considered taking his own life, he sometimes becomes aware again he truly was at the end of his tether. But as soon as he could see light again at the end of the tunnel, things were back to the way they were between the two of them.

John deeply sighs as he realizes he had let his thoughts wander once again. And he was again on the verge of blaming someone, anyone, for all that happened in his life. He cannot say he is mad at his wife or that he hates her. He just wishes things were different between the two of them.

He has a very specific idea of what husband and wife should be. His concept of marriage might be wrong, he is not sure about it. But after all he’s been through, he thinks this is how love in his life should be.

A man and a woman, both ready to understand the other, both ready to listen, both ready to compromise, that’s what he would like his marriage to be. He is aware it would be ludicrous, but he is craving for long conversations, for a quick eye glance followed by a genuine smirk. He loves to be romantic and also likes when he’s not always the one putting effort into doing things. It took him quite some time to admit it, but he needs balance in his life.

John picks a carton box and heads upstairs, willing to put some order in this house. Moving in is always a big step and he knows their new residence will be a bit chaotic for some time. He quickly glances at the label on the box and walks towards his wife’s bedroom.

Apparently, John snores too much now, and it’s impossible to sleep in the same room. He tried different cures, but nothing worked. As a result, his wife now has her bedroom and he has his.

John puts the box down and sits on the bed. It’s very unlikely he will spend some time in this bed. He is not sure he is welcomed. And if he is being honest, the last moments of intimacy he had with his wife were less than satisfying. Of course, given the stimulation, he got an erection and eventually got to reach climax. But there were no loving cuddles, no signs of affection whatsoever. John recalls he really tried to pleasure his wife as well, but she seemed a bit shocked when he tried different things on her. The horrified look on her face quickly made him stop his attempts and they eventually had a boring and almost automatic love making session. She even woke him up in the middle of the night to ask him to go and sleep on the sofa, since he was snoring.

He sighs and stands up. It’s close to his kids’ bedtime now. If all hope seems lost regarding any affectionate relation with his wife, John wants to be a good father all the same, the best he can be. And it’s important to kiss them goodnight when he is home.

He is now in his own bedroom and the house is very quiet. The rest of his family must be sleeping now. But he cannot sleep. Every time John closes his eyes, he only sees Veronica. He is tempted to take his phone and send her a message. But he knows it’s too late now. It’s been weeks now since their last exchange. He didn’t read her last message. He is aware he was wrong. He is aware he messed it all up.

It's not her fault of course. All the blame lies on his shoulders. He still doesn’t know what happened, what made him feel like it was okay to ask her out, to sleep with her, to let her fall for him, so easily. And he shouldn’t have let this happen to him either. He is not sure this is love, he is so confused. All he knows is that he wants to be with her no matter what, whether times are good or bad, whether they are happy or sad. He feels he could face it all with her by his sides. And he feels like he could help her face anything she could be going through.

But he can’t.

He really messed it all up.

He simply fell for her arms when he needed it the most. He is aware he is weak and needy. It would have been so much easier if it was only about sex. For the two of them. But it’s not all about two bodies becoming one and reaching ecstasy. He doesn’t even feel their first night together was only about an exciting intercourse. Right from the beginning, there was more than this, an actual connection between the two of them, that none of them could explain with proper words. The sensation that the two of them were meant to be, despite the obstacles, despite their age difference, with John old enough to be her father, despite it all.

John feels like Veronica gave him the whole world and it felt so exquisite. And now, he’s let her down. He’s got the impression that he is acting like a coward, both towards his family and towards Veronica. He found himself drawn to his mistress emotionally and that leads to heart rending pain. Tears are silently running on his cheeks. He would like to close his eyes and sleep, then wake up to a new world, where things would be simple again. A world where he wouldn’t have to take such hard decisions, a world without so many responsibilities and where he could be totally free. At this very moment, he is not the person he would like to be. He’s letting everyone down, including himself.

He is emotionally conflicted and it seems like his head is ready to explode. Too many thoughts rushing at the same time, all those questions. He hopes no one heard the loud sob he just let out.

Tears still wetting his reddened face, John eventually falls asleep. And even if he doesn’t recall it when waking up, his dreams are all about Veronica.

Time flies and summer is already all around. The sun shines more, the temperatures are higher, the Dorset beaches are more peopley with this fine weather. It is a beautiful day and some local schools are having a special celebration day to end the year. Some even invite new students to these festivities, it is a nice way to welcome them in this new environment before the actual start of the new school year.

And this is why John and his family are getting ready this day. They are attending this school celebration, since his youngest son will be one of their students after the summer holidays. This is an excellent institute and guests are welcomed in the rather large school theater, where the students will be giving a few performances. John and his family are seated in the crowd, waiting for the show to begin.

This year, the students and the teachers agreed to make a special theme for this celebration and it’s all about Hawaii. The stage is very well decorated, with flowers and frames, apparently created by the learners themselves. It’s not perfect, but no one would dare to criticize anything.

There are a few dance performances, where the students are recreating some typical dances. The teachers are always around, ready to help them in case one of them needs anything.

Veronica is backstage with a small group of learners. Their performance will start soon and she makes sure to soothe them before going on stage. They practiced it all together, all will be fine. And even if this is not perfect, this means they will learn another lesson, understanding and knowing where they could improve.

Trying to forget everything about her disastrous personal life and trying to heal her broken heart, Veronica put all her heart and soul into her work. Teaching the students, being by their sides, no matter what. Facing the days, entirely focusing on their future, leaving hers behind. She cannot let them down. She knows too well how it feels.

The small group she is with is ready and they all get on stage. The lights are almost blinding and they cannot really see the audience. It’s probably for the best, this way, there will be less stress. Veronica is supposed to be on stage with them, but she’s not the star of the show, she is just there to assist them.

The group will be performing a song. They wanted to perform a traditional Hawaiian song, but eventually realized it would be way too hard. As a result, they chose a song from a concert Elvis Presley had given in Hawaii. They picked ‘I will remember you’, as a goodbye to the school year and a farewell to those who would carry on studying in another school.

Veronica sits in the corner of the stage. Her role will be to sign the song for the deaf and partially deaf persons. This Institute is for students with special needs and she is the sign language teacher.

The music is starting and the students quickly start to sing and Veronica naturally signs, her hands and lips moving in sync. She knows the song by heart now, she’s practiced it a lot with the group of students she was in charge of. This is a beautiful melody and such great lyrics, she’s glad to be able to sign them for those who cannot actually hear it.

It’s going fine, the little singers are doing very well. The audience seems to be liking this performance as well, as far as she can see.

Yet, suddenly, it seems again to Veronica the world is falling apart around her. All of a sudden, the lyrics are all about her and John.

She knows she mustn’t fail her students so she keeps her head up, even if she cannot see the audience given how the lighting is set up. The show must go on, so she carries on signing, but her lips are trembling.

Veronica heard and signed this song so many times, why is she cracking at this very moment, right in front of everyone? She feels weak and vulnerable, and yet, tears are slowly and silently running on her cheeks. Suddenly, this song is too much for her, her feelings come back to the surface again, despite the fact that she thought she had buried them properly, deep inside her, leaving an ugly scar on the top of it.

It’s all about John and the love she has for him, all about them and her loneliness without him. Maybe to him, it was just an affair, maybe he never felt this way and deeply fooled her. But as the song is coming to an end, Veronica realizes she’ll never forget him, always keeping a special space in her heart for him.

The song eventually ends, with the students proudly bowing to the audience, who is applauding. This was the last little show and Veronica rushes to hide backstage, as the learners gather on stage for the last burst of applause. Just like the rest of the crowd, John is clapping his hands. He’s not really paying attention to anything right now. All he knows is that Veronica was crying and he wanted to literally jump from his chair to take her in his arms.

But he couldn’t.

The students, their parents, the teachers and the rest of the audience start to stand up and gather in small groups. John’s wife and his kids are talking with a group of teachers. He is aware he should stay with them, even if he is just listening. But he wants to see Veronica. He needs to.

John casually steps out, as if he was a fugitive trying to escape his prison guards. He wanders for a moment in the corridors of the school, looking through the classes’ windows, attentive to any clues that could lead him to her.

At the corner of one corridor leading to the stairs, John bumps into someone, apologizing at once. The person looks at him and he feels his heart skip a bit.

Veronica is standing right before him, staring at him directly in the eyes. Hers are swollen, wet and red. She surely cried a lot.

“Veronica….”, John starts to mumble.

“John? What the hell are you doing here?”, she asks, visibly surprised he is standing right in front of her at this very moment.

“Well, my youngest is going to be a student here next year, so we were invited to the end of year celebration.”, he explains.

“Ah, good, good.”, she nods. “This is an excellent institute. The teachers are just amazing.”, she carries on.

“Yes. Yes they are. It took us some time to find the right school, so we are quite happy about it.”

Veronica doesn’t know what to answer and carries on nodding, avoiding to look at him in the eyes. She quickly figured out he was in the audience when she started to cry in the middle of a song, while the students were performing. There is a moment of silence and none of them dares to speak. Yet, none of them is moving either. John loudly swallows and breaks the heavy silence.

“How are you?”, he gently asks.

“Good. Good. Perfect even.”, Veronica lets out a bit abruptly. “I’m relieved to see you’re alive and that your fingers are working properly….”, she says with an annoyed sigh.

John doesn’t reply. He only lowers his head.

“Fuck. I promised myself I wouldn’t get mad, no matter what….”, she says, rolling her eyes at her own reaction.

“No, no. You’ve got all the right in the world to be mad, and I deserve all your fury.”

“Damnit, John. You could at least have said goodbye….”, she says, this time looking at him in the eyes, tears watering them already.

“I know. I’m a deplorable man.”, he replies, lowering his head.

“That’s not what I said either….”

“I left because you deserve much better than me. And the heartache of telling you that was more than I could bear thinking about….”, he confesses.

“I. Didn’t. Want. Anything. Or anyone. Else.”, she says as her jaws are clenched.

“You came into my world and provided love and care and intimacy and kindness…. And much more….”, he carries on, taking her hand.

“Ah of course. I’m the one to blame. I’m sorry, John. I didn’t mean to be myself.”, she sharply replies.

“I think I have been clear about where the blame lies. It’s all on my shoulders.”, John quietly says.

“I don’t agree.”, she retorts. “Once you told me about your life, I got into this as well. I agreed to be your…. Mistress.”, she carries on, almost in a whisper.

“Well, that’s through my glasses. In my perspective, I'm not the person I would like to be. You, on the other hand, are amazing.”, he states.

“And from my perspective you have flaws but that makes you human. That made me fall for you. Even if I didn't mean to. Even if I didn't want to. Despite it all.”

“It was the same for me….”, John sighs, still holding her hand.

A door slams in the distance and he suddenly lets her hand go. And he actually can hear her heart breaking again.

“You know we cannot carry on this way.”, she says, very calmly this time.

John doesn’t reply. He only lets out a loud sigh, mixed with a sort of grunt.

“I moved in recently. I even saw you in the street the other day.”, he eventually speaks again.

“Well, I hope you and your family will feel great here. I’m sure you will. It’s a very nice place.”, Veronica nods. “I think I’ll miss not being around.”, she says.

“What?”, John suddenly looks up, feeling agitated.

“You’ve just unpacked and I’m going to go. I’m moving away.”, she explains.

“What?”, he says again, stunned. “Why?”, he asks.

“Well, since I’ve been an excellent teacher here, they offered me a job in London, to be head of a whole department in another school.”, she explains.

“Why did you decide to go?”, he demands, thoughts rushing in his head.

“Because it’s an excellent opportunity for me.”, she quietly replies.

John nods, on the verge of tears. He felt like he had let her down when he stopped sending her messages, and now, he feels exactly the same way. He is emotionally unarticulated.

“I’m sorry, John.”, she says and pauses. “But this doesn’t change anything. I love you.”, she shrugs, trying to make him look at her in the eyes.

“You are beyond the capacity of my heart, no love is enough.”, he says with the heaviest heart in the world.

There is another long silence between the two of them. The two of them being in love, yet, facing a dilemma.

“I refuse to believe fate made us meet to end it this way.”, John affirms, saying no with his face.

“Who says this is the end?”, Veronica asks, a bit rhetorically.

John looks at her frowning. Yet, his train of thoughts is interrupted by the sound of people who seem to be coming upstairs. Veronica looks down, sighing.

She comes closer to him, takes his hand and places it on her heart.

“As long as it will be beating, it will be for you John. I will love you always. No matter where I am. No matter what I am doing. And I know our hearts will be reunited at some point. If it’s not in this life, then it will be in the next one. Our hearts are soulmates. They will always find each other.”, she says in a whisper.

She tip-toes a bit to be higher and gently places a last kiss on his lips, trying not to cry again. They part and she reaches out to caress his cheek. Her lips are trembling again so she turns around and starts walking away.

John stands there. He has to let her go. He believes what she said is right. And he feels the same. His heart will only beat for her.

John and Veronica. They know this is not the end.

Seen a shooting star tonight Slip away….

Before I start … you look stunning, babe.

Had to get that out of the way first. Alright.

It’s no secret that this whole thing is new to me. but here I am, looking damn good, so this just proves I’m a natural at everything doesn’t it? [/j]

When I was ruling the Underworld, I never thought that this … falling in love, meeting someone that I can honestly, genuinely consider my soulmate … was a possibility for me. Then I met you. And so much changed in so little time. You changed what I thought was possible for me, you changed how I see the world, you changed me. You unlocked a part of me that I never knew existed. And I have never loved who I am more than I love who I am with you. I used to go decades without smiling once, but now I can simply look at you and a smile forms all on its own. You stepped into my life and taught me how to be happy, showed me that I can be in love and be loved in return. In all my millennia of being alive, not once did I meet anybody who even came close to the absolute wonder you are, never seen magic like what you possess in that smile of yours. I have never known happiness quite like the time I spend with you. There is nothing - nothing - in my life that I will ever want more than to spend it with you. I have known for a long time, without a shadow of a doubt, that my perfect destiny is a forever with you.

Rose, you are the best thing in my life. You are what makes today the best day of my life. I don’t think humans have invented enough words, in any language, to describe my love for you. but I can try my best. my love for you is overwhelming in the best sense of the word, it is my favorite adventure, it is warm, it is beautiful, it is never-ending, it is my home. You are my home. You are my heart. You are my happiness. You are everything good in me. You are the wonder in my life. It’s all you.

This day is a promise. A promise to always be by your side. A promise to give you the same happiness you have allowed me, a promise to dedicate every beat of my heart to you, a promise to never forget how grateful I am to have you in my life and call you my spouse, a promise to continue loving you as much as I already do and more. As you promise to allow me to witness your light, your warmth, your magic, for every day of my life, I promise to cherish you for every day of mine. As I have cherished every second spent with you and will cherish every second more. This promise exists for as long as I do, never fading but renewed and cemented with every kiss, every “I love you”, every morning waking up next to you, every time your hand is in mine, every time you smile and I fall in love with you all over again. I will fall in love with you again, and again, and again, every day for all of eternity. That is my promise to you, made on this day.

- Hades 💙

All I have ever needed is you, by my side in my heart and soul. I have never known what it was to truly be loved and cherished until you, hearing this means the absolute world to me. Be here, be mine and I will be yours until the end of time... I love you.

#thank you for this #its indescribable how overwhelming wonderful it was to read this #i will cherish these words FOREVER #wedding tag #ship: a glimpse of the sun

Hi! I hope your doing well I would like to join your Valentine’s Day game please and thank you ZG💗

I would like to go with Cupid’s arrow 🏹

Memorable moment of mind is when I first got my dog I was happy because I always wanted one and I love dogs

Hey there, ZG! That’s so adorable! What kind of dog do you have?

Alrighty, Cupid’s arrow, let’s get to it. So first off, I really kept thinking of twilight for some reason. I was reminded of this kind of gloomy, rainy setting, which is funny because your future spouse actually reminds me of the complete opposite. I feel like they have this strong sense of integrity. They remind me of the “hero” archetype. The kind of person that sees the glass as half full instead of half empty. Justice is coming up strongly. They could work for the justice system, like a lawyer/prosecutor/attorney, or they could just have a job in which they work helping get justice for others. They have really strong morals and genuinely seem like they really care about others. Their job seems to be time consuming at times tho because they do important work.

I feel like this person is fond of cliche romance tropes. I’m seeing kisses in the rain. Hmmm okay, I’m seeing that this person will fall in love with you first. They could be someone you meet in a professional setting, like work or after some sort of legal problem you may be facing, but you don’t really pay much attention to them. Like you’re more focused on your own issues instead of thinking of any romantic endeavors. This person tho feels like you’re slowly creeping up in their heart. At first, they feel some sense of need to protect you because they feel you’ve been wronged somehow and they just want to help. So you’ll notice them doing extra little things for you, like buying you a coffee, and just being overall really attentive to you. But you’re just like “oh they’re so good at their job, look at how they treat their clients.” and maybe for them it did start off that way. They want to make sure they are there for their clients as much as possible but with you it’s a bit different. They start to notice their feelings are more than a normal professional relationship. They realize their strong sense of wanting to protect you isn’t what they typically feel.

There’s one particular time where you two meet together to discuss some information/paperwork that I’m seeing. You both are sitting next to each other on some couch with papers sprawled all over the little table in front of you. You’re silently reading over these papers in front of you, so focused that you forgot who you were with for a moment. But they’re just sitting there, watching you, with quiet admiration. They see the little burrow of your eyebrows as you soak up whatever it is you’re reading. they take note of how your hair looks slightly disheveled from you mindlessly touching it as you read, or how your lips look a little redder from chewing on them. And they’re so lost in the thought of you that they don’t realize that you’ve asked them a question. lol and you’re all like “ummm hello??” while turing to face them completely. And they’re a little flustered because wow, you just look so beautiful in that moment to them. In that moment, one look was all it too for them to know. They could no longer deny their feelings for you.

Ooof sorry this was so long! I feel like I have to get a feel for people’s spouse’s energy and the energy of what the relationship will be like before I can get specific answers. But this makes the reading way too wordy, which I apologize for!

I hope you liked this reading! Thank you for participating🩷

Ps. I thought of this song by nick jonas while doing your reading. But I when I looked up this song I noticed there was another song with the same name by some group named twilight! Maybe that’s why I was thinking of twilight in the beginning.

Additionally, your openness, creativity, and willingness to provide a safe and balanced relationship contribute to their attraction towards you.

Remember, while destiny may guide us towards certain connections, it's essential to build a strong and loving relationship based on mutual respect, communication, and understanding. Embrace your own unique qualities and continue to foster love and compassion in your interactions. Wishing you a beautiful journey filled with love and happiness!

ACONITUM FURY.

NAME: UTP of PEMBURY.

OCCUPATION: HEIR.

AGE: 32-37.

PRONOUNS: UTP.

FC SUGGESTIONS: Jamie Alexander, Jessica De Gouw, James Norton.

ACONITUM.

You’ve always been a pitiful thing, a mere shadow to your elder sibling’s blinding light. You hated Jessamine Daemon even though you know to despise your flesh and blood is to call upon the wrath of heavens. But, you couldn’t help yourself. In your family’s eyes your sibling was everything you will never be - beautiful, radiant, manipulative. When they got their happy ending you wondered if you’ll get the same - but, no suitors ever came and your parents never seemed to remember you were still there and unwed. In the end it worked out well for you, for when they died you became their sole heir, your older sibling already married to an absurdly wealthy lord. You inherited a considerable amount of wealth and suddenly you became much desirable by the unwed, widowed persons in your county.

Now you’re a spinster by your own choice. Why should you tie yourself down to someone who only sees the gold you can give them? Why would you let someone else spend your family’s, nay your, inheritance? With the Pembury name now being solely yours, you are determined to find your spouse on your own terms - they must love you or you will not have them. Too many couples are wedded for wealth and prestige, and you refuse to dance to the tune the society plays.

FURY.

You’ve been enraged your entire life, so those who call you a fury are not too far off the mark. You are a sleeping volcano, feeling like you could explode at injustice which surrounds you - unfaithful lovers, spiteful and greedy people, people who care little of others and their emotions, you would smite them all if only you could.

INVITED TO TEA.

JESSAMINE DAEMON. Your perfect sibling. You know they don’t really stand you, nor do they like it when you come to visit your nieces, which is exactly why you attempt to visit the Blackwood estate as often as you can. You do everything in your power to annoy your sibling to death, veiling your spiteful intentions with an innocent smile of a shrivelled old spinster. If you can steer your youngest niece away from your sibling’s greed, you’ll find your vengeance complete.

BELLADONNA NYMPH. Your younger niece is a gem in the rough. She is much like the late lord Blackwood and you keep thanking whatever stars or gods you can for that - the less she resembles her venomous mother, the better her life will be. You try to spend as much time with her as you rationally can, and it helps that your affections for Belladonna Nymph are genuine. You truly do wish her all the best.

IRIS VAMPIRE. You never liked them. If it’s possible, they’re even worse than your sibling and you don’t want to spend a moment in their irksome presence. It seems to be the mutual agreement between you, since you never visit each other, or exchange correspondence, but given the etiquette when you do see them, you are nothing short of cordial and friendly, putting up the well established pretense of a functional family.

VIOLET GORGON. You’re really fond of them. There’s something innately calm about them, the kind of calmness which soothes your fiery nature. You enjoy spending time in their presence and you often find yourself seeking them out for a chat over tea, or inviting them to accompany you for a walk. While they are calm, they are also a very engaging and witty conversationalist, and time really flies when you meet them for a chat.

ROSE HARPY. She might be the only true friend you have in this world. Talkative and gentle, kind and soothing, she understands you and supports you like no one else. While she enjoys a happy marriage with her husband, you know she is troubled by the lack of offspring, but you know she’s too anxious to ask for help. It was you who advised her to seek out the priest’s wife, since you’ve heard Hemlock Siren is skilled in such womanly matters.

ACONITUM FURY IS PORTRAYED BY UTP AND OPEN.

In this Life

Benedict Bridgerton x (F) Reader

Word Count: 3,033 Words

Summary: When the news of your startling engagement hits the press writings of Lady Whistledown, you find yourself in what was the worst attempt at an arranged marriage by your uncle. This leaves you preparing for a wedding you weren’t aware was occurring, three days prior to the event and a very unhappy Benedict.

Author’s Note: I’m just about writing everything these days aren’t I? I’m just genuinely in love with this distinguished gentleman - please keep season 2 spoilers out of the comments as I am waiting to watch it with my family. Thanks! 4/13/2022 Edit: since i’ve begun writing more of benedict, I will be using one (1) surname per story - unless there are continuations from the first part.

Content Warning: None?

There’d been a great deal of resentment in the house of Castleton’s. With the Lord having made arrangements for your hand in marriage. The last month that you’d spent pramenauding with Mr. Bridgerton, painting and generally enjoying each other’s company had been ruined. You’d grown beyond close in the course of the month, but with the social season coming to a close and Daphne’s own wedding, Benedict had been rather worried about a second wedding in the same season. So, he’d been waiting to propose. Then your uncle announced to the household you were to be wed that Saturday to a Sir Kaufmann, an arrangement he’d prepared months ago without any input from your mother or yourself.

In light of the events, you’d tried to find an escape. You’d once found that in painting, but now it only reminded you of Benedict. Instead you try the pianoforte. Fingers press to the keys but they’re slow, your mind drifting. Eyes find the summer lilacs outside your window, drifting in the breeze, free to move about as they wish. If only you shared the same fate. Your mother steps into the room, taking a seat on one of the few sitting chairs. “Dear, we have an appointment at the modiste this afternoon...” Your hand comes into a fist onto the keys, an awful sound leaving the instrument. Turning, you look at her, tears beginning to well.

“Mama, I do not wish to marry that man. I do not even know him! Am I meant to spend the rest of my life with him? To raise children with a man I do not know?” The woman in front of you taps the chaise next to her, inviting you to sit next to her. Quickly, you do so, her arms wrapping around you.

“My dear, had I known he was in search of a suitor, this would have gone far smoother. However, from what I hear, Sir Kaufmann is a wonderful man, a wonderful home and staff. You’ll do just fine, my darling. In time you will grow familiar. And perhaps one day you may see a sort of beauty in his company.” You pull from her, standing up.

“I won’t marry that man. I simply will not.” Starting out the door, tears still flooding your features, you call on a carriage.

You spend the remaining hours of light in the nearby park, stepping along the path you’d spent hours on with Benedict. He’d move in tandem with you, speaking about his favorite works he’s gotten to witness come through Somerset House. How he wished to have his own there one day. You voiced similar dreams, wishing and hoping to have a studio of your own one day. That your spouse would accommodate your hobby. The brunette man had made it clear that if you shared a future that you’d have a space for your work, and everything else you could possibly want for.

The conversation was filled with laughter as the two of you looked onwards at the other potential couples in the lawns with their precarious mamas and less than concerned papas. Some were fairing better than others, with groups of young men and women lingering, watching and waiting for their season to come.

You’d shared afternoons over tea and discussing anything you could - just to be in each other’s presence. Since the announcement of your sudden engagement, you’d not spoken to the second eldest Bridgerton. Many invitations had been extended, and you hoped plenty for one of the many staff members of Castleton House to inform you of a caller for you. One that did not have a distinguishing title in front of it.

Your heart ached for his presence.

Meanwhile at the Bridgerton House, while preparations for the upcoming wedding of the season were being arranged, a rather agitated Benedict sat in the drawing room sketchbook in his lap, charcoal in one hand, dirty fingers tapping on the page in thought. Eloise comes bounding into the room, looking over what seems to be an empty page. “Perhaps if you actually drew something you would not look so pained and sorrowful.” She taunts, in hopes to lift his mood from the depths it had plummeted itself into.

When the family had read of the news in the recently published Whistledown, they couldn’t believe it. From what they’d heard from their family member, the two of you were destined for one another. Two love matches in one season. Violet had been the one to sit Benedict down to speak to him about it. Eloise watched when the doors to the drawing room flew open and Benedict marched out of the house, steam all but shooting out his ears.

Anthony had to stop him from posing a duel to the man, reminding him that it was likely you hadn’t even known - let alone had a choice.

Returning to the drawing room, Benedict avoids looking at his sister as she sits down, looking at the page in hopes that something, anything, would come to mind. The only thing he could think of was the drawing he’d planned to give the jeweler. For your ring to be made. He finally forms words to speak to his sister. “Perhaps if you weren’t so nosey there’d not be something to look upon.” He reminds, and she frowns.

“Brother, you must remember that it could have been anyone who chose to propose to her. Do not let yourself be so glum about the circumstance.” She’s trying to offer any comfort she might have, well knowing that it was unlikely it would be successful. Benedict shuts the book on the table in front of him, standing abruptly and moving to the door.

“It could have been me.”

The morning of the wedding opens with your blinds, and you curse the sun. Part of you had longed for some rebuttal, some word, some fight, from the man. Every part of you thought that it had been a love match between you. So if that were the case, then where had he been?

Despite that, you’d dressed and readied yourself to meet your groom. Your husband. He’d not arrived to London until the night prior and you’d spent most of the night on your maid’s lap. You’d not wanted to bother your poor mother, who was just as upset as you were about the entire affair. Part of her had been relieved that it had been handled. But with your mother being widowed so suddenly after your birth, she’d not had any more children. No brothers to direct your future, aside from your own mother’s.

The carriage ride to the chapel was quiet, the air heavy with a tinge of sorrow. You did not dare cry, as to not ruin your rouge. If there were any positives to this day, your wedding gown was just as you’d imagined it. Such intricate beading and lacing, the embroidery was divine. Despite the short timeline, the modiste had done a phenomenal job with such little time. You had been playing with one of the beads on the dress, fingers twirling it around the string it was attached to on the dress. It probably shouldn’t be moving, however, that was not the fault of Madame Delacroix as it were yourself. The habit of fidgeting with the white pearlescent fixture had developed itself early on in the morning. It was the small bit of respite you had for the fit of emotions within you.

Constant movement comes to a slow halt as you arrive at your destination. You lift your head to look at your mother. “Mama.” It’s the softest bit of a cry. Her gloved hand lifts to grip your chin.

“I love you, my dear. You are by far the greatest gift I have been blessed with in this life. I am so beyond proud of you. There are great things in your future.” The tears in your eyes are blinked back as you pull her to your embrace. You do not wish to let go. Letting go means that you would no longer be a Castleton.

Eventually, you do, despite your great hesitance. Climbing from the carriage with assistance from the driver whom you’d known all these years, he pairs it with a smile and a compliment to you. A gracious smile before you stand upon the chapel doors. You can hear the organ practically rattle the building before you are even in the church. A deep breath before the doors open.

Each step seems to ring through the chapel with a deafening sound. The man at the end of the aisle looks upon you with a grin. He looks kind enough. However, there is a great deal of age between the two of you. In fact, he appears to be similar in age to your dear father if he were still with you and your mama. Despite that, you find yourself at the altar, ready to step into your role. As that was all this was going to be. A role in a play you never auditioned for.

The priest is speaking, introducing the two of you, yet your mind is wandering. It instead is thinking of the man who is not in front of you. It is of the evening after a ball, the halls of an empty mansion, the two of you tipsily laughing and lingering in each other’s presence. Leaning a little too closely. Fingers floating in the air at your sides, just barely in reach of the others, but not daring to touch. “You truly are the most charming of the Bridgerton men, are you not?” You’d spoken in teasing manner.

“Perhaps I am. But I suppose one must be incredibly charming in order to win the affections of such a gem as yourself.” He’d slowed to stop in that hall, letting you look to him. Benedict then took your hand, looking you in the eye. “If not for my sister’s upcoming nuptials, there would be no reason for my havering behavior. I am a fool for not acting upon my intentions, however, do not mistake my lack of questioning as uncertainty, Miss Castleton. As I said: my intentions are simply that, a thing intended, and I intend to marry you one day.” A kiss upon clothed hand to seal the promise.

Now, those gloved hands rest in the pair of a stranger. The startling comparison leaves you misty eyed, the man in front of you grips your hand softly. “Are you alright?” His voice whispers, making you look to him. You blink your tears back as the priest is reciting the words. “If there is any reason that this man and this woman are not to be wed on this day, I beg of you, please make your presence known, and your reasons for objection clear.” It is eerily quiet that follows his words. Your head shoots to the door. You wait. You pray and you wait.

“Upon these eyes-”

The chapel doors are thrown open with such a force that they hit the walls they rest on. In the doorway, backlit by the early afternoon light, a heavily panting man stands with papers in hand. “This couple may not be wed.”

Your heart sings. He steps into the church, the wedding guests looking as he takes heavy near stomps in the harrowed building. A voice is shouting at you in your mind to wipe the grin from your face but how can you?

Benedict stands, huffing mere centimetres from you, papers in a death grip as he stares down the priest. “This marriage cannot go on. These papers were forged.” A gasp ascends over the crowd, the priests eyebrows furrow.

“On what grounds?” The cloaked man reaches out for the papers, which the Bridgerton man hands over with a bit of pride in his stoicness.

“The priest that approved this license is no longer registered with the Church at all. He was dismissed three months ago, therefore, any papers that were signed during his active service are null and void by the Church.” The murmurs start on your future husband’s side and soon morph to your family’s side. You can hear your mother scolding your uncle for not updating the papers, but you can tell that they are not in earnest. Benedict then breaks your hand from your fiancee’s grip. “This woman shan’t and won’t be marrying this man.” As the priest looks at the papers, the groom starts to question him over and over. The cloaked man stands tall and silences what was the groom.

“It appears as though this gentleman’s objections are founded in truth. There shall not be a ceremony conducted today.” The groom sits in astonishment, only before marching to your uncle, but that is the last of your concerns.

“Mr Bridgerton, how have you managed this?” It’s half spoken, half laughed in relief as he pulls you to his embrace. You can feel the way his heart is racing out of his chest, you fear his grip on you may be near fatal. Benedict pulls away, hands cupping your face.

“I am not a man who breaks his word, Miss Castleton. Nor am I a coward. I will fight for what I desire, and whom I desire.”

His forehead rests on yours, and you take his wrist, a deep breath coming into your lungs and leaving with ease. It is the easiest breath you’ve taken all morning. When you open your eyes, you’re met with his own. The two of you break out into smile before Benedict is taking your hand and guiding you from the church. In the street, he stalls at the foot of his horse, helping you up before finding his own place upon the steed.

You lurch into a steady pace, arms tight around his torso, both of you laughing. Reaching up, you pull the white fabric from your hair, letting it fly in the dust behind you, followed by many pins that kept your hair. With the wind ripping through the fabric of your dress, the bright afternoon sun shining on your skin, you watch as the ton seems to disappear but not out of sight as you slow. “Might you think we have escaped such a dreadful situation?” He questions before the horse stops completely, Benedict climbing off, reaching up to help you down, strong hands on your hips as he pulls you down. As he does, he pulls you into a spin, your feet kicking up in the air as your arms wrap around his neck, the two of you grinning ear to ear.

“Oh the most dreadful of affairs.” You retort happily, your voice nearly singing. As he sets you down, you recognize the tree above you as the weeping willow you’d met under after the incident with Daphne and her former fiancee. He’d needed an escape, a confidante, a friend. Benedict now guides you to the grass below you, laying back and letting your head rest on his chest. A warm and soothing setting juxtaposed to the ill and virulent atmosphere of the chapel.

“I certainly intend on our wedding being far less...arduous.” He offers, making you roll so the two of you are stomach to stomach, his hand coming up to rest on the small of your back. He starts playing with the fabric of your gown as he looks over you, studying each detail, each spot, each wrinkle, every hair upon the most gorgeous face he’s seen.

“Is that so?” You challenge with a grin, fingers reaching up to play with his hair. “Mayhaps I have had enough of these endeavors for the time being?”

“Oh, that is rather fair, my wonderful. You must be exhausted with the tension and anguish you’ve been through.” A kaleidoscope of butterflies flits through your stomach at the pet name, grin pairing it in due time.

“I must know, how ever did you determine the vows would not be legitimate?” The question had been haunting you the entire ride over, but his laughter fills the air. “Benedict?” His hand runs up and down your back reassuringly. His head rolling as he laughs before turning to gaze upon you.

“May I leave it at my rather studious sister Eloise, who had some interesting points?”

“No you may not.” You pointedly stick a finger to his chest.

“Fine. Then let us say that...Lord Bridgerton has the best interests of his family in mind, and that Father Solon’s sudden dismissal from the Church this morning and the two do not overlap in any manner.” Your jaw slacks, a gasp leaving you.

“Benedict! What did you do?”

“I did nothing! Anthony on the other hand-” He breaks out laughing, making you laugh and shake your head.

“Oh dear.” A sigh as you rest your head on his chest again. The two of you dwell under the looming arbor above you, watching as it sways against the bluest of skies. It is a few moments before Benedict speaks again.

“Might I indulge you in my thoughts?” He questions, your hand rolls in patterns against his side.

“There need not ask, Mr Bridgerton.” You hum in response. He shifts from his position, resting his upper body on his forearms, looking down at you. Subsequently, you look up to him.

“I wish that all of our days together look something similar to this. Lounging in vacuous afternoons, the day at our disposal, harmonious in waning sunlight with my love at my side.” A hand comes up to your chin. “I wish for our family to remain in celestial bliss for the remainder of our short time on this Earth.” Your breath seems to slip from your lungs. “I wish for you to be my wife, Miss Castleton.” Tearfully, you move with glee, arms around him and pulling you both into a topple in the tall grass, laughter leaving you. When you steady yourselves, Benedict hoists himself above you, forearms keeping him propped in the air as to not crush you.

“My dear Benedict Bridgeton, I beam with delight at your thoughts. There is nothing more that I wish for in this life.”
