I’m having so many thoughts about corruption/teaching with Welt I cannot cope. I just know he’d be so agonisingly slow and patient and unflappable while showing you how it’s done, while in his own head marvelling at how soft and warm and shy you are and how determined he is to make you scream his name-
I’m fine. (Is not fine)
you are so right, anon. just something about a patient man willing to wait, to guide you slowly through everything, to make sure that what he teaches you is nothing but pleasure . . . until you can’t think straight, until all you know is his voice and gentle murmurs and praise of how well you’re doing, that’s right - and to think he is doing it out of the goodness of his heart, indulging you in your little crush - when the truth is that welt has been imagining what you’d look like at his mercy from the moment you stepped foot on the express.

What does your fictional happy place look like?
One of mine is a twilit-island floating far above a metropolis. The setting glow of the day glistens off of hovering cubes and spheres of water that I can dive in and out of as freely as a bird. Not an inch of the island is barren, a furry coat of moss and velvety grass makes your steps silent and soft. The grass is cool to the touch with a deep warmth beneath the surface. If you lay upon it, it saps every bit of stress from your body, and all you become aware of is the gently blowing wind, and the far-off sounds of a city.
How about yours?

“As with most members of the Ten Thousand, both the full name and the specifics of tribune Felis Silvestris Juvenilis’ service remain shrouded in mystery, known only to his fellow Custodians. What is known, however, paints him not just as a mighty warrior and a wise leader - both characteristics inseparable from the image of the Emperor’s own guardians - but also as a great administrator and diplomat - traits no less inherent to Custodians, but far less known beyond the walls of the Imperial Palace.
What meager records are available on the history of Adeptus Custodes suggest tribune to be one of the most senior serving members of the organization, the length of his vigil rivaling that of the most ancient of the Moritoi. It is said that amidst tribunes he is the one who manages the often overlooked supply and logistics aspects of Adeptus Custodes operations. While appearing somewhat unglamourous to an outside observer, these tasks are held in great respect by Custodians themselves, not in the least because they include the duty to oversee the process of selection, creation and training of new Custodians.
It is in duties of such caliber that tribune Felis is said to have excelled for aeons, and excelled to such a degree that, according to some, he is viewed as something of a father figure by many of relatively younger Custodians. Though extremely unverified, such rumors are somewhat supported by the fact that the latest election for the position of Captain-General saw tribune Felis as a popular candidate, beaten narrowly - rumors say by as little as three votes - by Trajan Valoris.
At the same time, it is evident that tribune’s service was not limited to internal matters of Adeptus Custodes throughout the eras. Several records name him as the custodian who brought Alicia Dominica before the Emperor to put an end to Goge Van Dire’s reign of terror during the Age of Apostacy. He also appears in much more recent imperial history, leading a delegation of Emissaries Imperatus to help negotiate peace after the disastrous events of the Damocles Crusade.
His most well-documented exploits, however, come at the break of the current era, as the Noctis Aeterna fell upon the Emperor’s domain. According to fresh tomes within the Imperial Archive, not long before the outbreak of Cicatrix Maledictum, it was tribune Felis who came to Captain-General with concerns about how the decline and near extinction of their sister order, the dreaded Anathema Psykana, left Adeptus Custodes weakened against immaterial foes, their ability to carry out their duty compromised by millenia of passivity. The two held council, and Captain-General ordered tribune to begin the process of restoring the second Talon of the Emperor to its former glory. Subsequent events, culminating in the Battle of the Lion’s Gate, would prove both the wisdom of this decision, and the near-lateness of it.
Though begun in advance, the process of gathering and rebuilding strength of the Silent Sisterhood was nowhere near complete when the eighty-eight cohorts of Khorne struck at the Imperial palace. But it was due to this process that enough sisters were gathered at the orbit of Luna to intervene in another, no less critical battle. For it was then that an ancient aeldari webway gate, dormant for many millennia, awakened on the surface of Terra’s moon to let out none other than primarch Roboute Guilliman - miraculously resurrected and returned - and his companions, fighting a desperate retreating battle against pursuing forces of the Crimson King himself - the treacherous daemon primarch Magnus the Red. And it was just as primarch and his forces were about to be overwhelmed that tribune Felis Silvestris Juvenilis led Talons of the Emperor - fighting together for the first time in living memory - to the aid of the Avenging Son. His malignant spells weakend, and his body cut by Guardian Spear and Executioner Blade, the treacherous primarch was driven back and his warriors slain, with tribune himself cutting off three feathers from the wing of the daemon, which he now bears upon his armour as a reminder that no foe, however great, can step within the system Solar.
Thus the life of the primarch was saved, and through that, the defenders of the Lion’s Gate relieved, legions of Khorne crushed, and foundation laid for the beginning of the Era Indomitus itself.
At the time of this record’s creation tribune Felis is thought to be primarily operating on Terra, assisting with continuing restoration of the Anathema Psykana and representing Adeptus Custodes within Senatorum Imperialis in Captain-General’s absence. A singular navigational record, however, documents his visit to Nocturne for an unknown purpose, while another report speaks of him leading an embassy to the Fabricator-General of Mars…”

*drowns in good brain juice*
The lyrics hit a bit too close to home.
I know, I say that a lot about the songs I listen to and my OCs BUT LISTEN... LISTEN
Hitch fighting the Daydreamer, who is basically the core of ALL of his issues and a fight he set himself to finally do and end things once for good is him not just facing his fears but the ongoing rotten past of his family caused inherited ability of Daydreamer.
Hitch is set on being the last in the line.
And the fact that his story is him going from wish to just end his life to finding reasons to be around and not falling alone to his troubles and dangers but accepting help of others and carrying on just kind of boils down to this final moment.
PS: TREEHOPPER GIANTS MY BELOVED <3 I never thought of them being wyrm slayers but now I'm considering huhu~

What a shame.
when i was young
not quite a child but not yet a woman
i wished for something awful to happen to me
some kind of twisted horror that had crawled inside my heart
the vestiges of it hanging heavy in my bones
curled up in my ribcage to sleep
I'd carry it with me to school
carefully cradling it in my lunchbox
or hold it in my bare shaking fingers
as it writhed and nibbled at the cookie cutter corners of my soul
I prayed to a God
that even then I did not believe in
for something that excused
this odd feeling I had of being hollow
like a pumpkin at halloween, all carved and painted with a smile
something that explained
that terrible heavy fog
that never left, but only got deeper in the winter evenings
and now
not yet old but older
i know that I already had one
not the boogeyman but my mother
her womb cracks from my grief
do you feel it?

snapdragon for the flower questions :)
Oooh thank you! I've been thinking about this one especially.
[ floral-inspired questions ]
snapdragon ; a flower of deception .. for a time my muse wilfully deceived another.
It's a bit unfair to say that Esca lies as easily as she breathes, but for someone in her position, it becomes a matter of course. Trying to make ends meet as a shop owner in Ul'dah — especially one that has supposedly run afoul of the Company — requires some degree of deception just to keep your head above water. Setting that aside, though, there are two particular deceptions keep her up at night. The first is lying to her do-no-harm father when she promised to never use the plants they cultivate to craft or sell any sort of poisons. The second is lying to herself when she tells herself it'll be worth it in the end.
