#great question thank you this was so fun to think about
Note
The blueberry tart moral quandary has been very fun to ponder! Thank you for sharing it with us. I think the real question, however, is what each of your animals would think about ordering two slices of tart under the circumstances
You're right, that IS the true question here. Let's situate this in a universe where blueberry tart is safe & delicious to eat for all animal species.
CHICKENS. The chickens would definitely want that second helping of tart because chickens live in a solipsistic moral universe and would hesitate to share tart even if it was their dying sister's last wish.
However if you place two slices of tart on the ground for 2 chickens, they will immediately and violently start fighting each other over the same slice, thus giving you the opportunity to discreetly retrieve the first slice for yourself.
Moreover, if a chicken manages to break off half of the slice and starts running like hell to go eat it elsewhere in peace, the other chicken will take off after her instead of eating the other half happily by herself. If they then break this half in two while fighting over it, they will resume fighting over that half of the half, allowing you to retrieve 3/4 of the second slice. And so on. This is Zeno's paradox applied to chickens and tart: the hens will spend the rest of eternity fighting over diminishing crumbs while you get almost all of the second slice back (albeit broken in increasingly minuscule halves.)
CATS. Not only would the cats want that second slice regardless of who else wants it, they would also sit & start grooming themselves on the rest of the pie with great serenity, rendering it inedible for anyone else.
However, my original post established that the pies were under large bell jars. Two of my three cats are (to their everlasting torment) stymied by this sadistic human invention. If the bell jar is heavy enough that you can't push it off the table (a popular strategy), then Mascarille and Merricat will just circle it a few times, ram their faces into the glass, do a full body swipe against it in case this might open a secret door, and then walk away in frustration.
Morille on the other hand is a cat possessed of extreme patience, diabolical intelligence and acute interest in forbidden food. She will get the tart no matter how long she has to lie in wait.
DOG. Pandolf would not want a second slice or even a first one, if he is made to understand that this might make other people sad. The thing with Pandolf is, he can smell disappointment. His great big nose picks up on every particle of human disappointment in the air and they go straight to his heart. He is also too polite to even defend his bone from thieving chickens. There's no way he would claim any tart at all unless someone gave it to him and made it clear they would be happy for him to eat it.
However Pandolf is very cute when he sits there with a lolling tongue, happy for others to have a good time, and there is also no way one or several persons wouldn't give him their slice of tart. He would definitely end up with tart.
LLAMAS. Pampelune is the matriarch and since her duties involve dying to protect her herd in case of predator attacks, she considers it her prerogative to eat first and as much as she damn pleases in compensation. She would get two slices. I believe Poldine would choose to have only one slice and kiss everyone in the restaurant on the cheek for good measure, and I also believe she would actually get zero tart. As shown in the salt video, Poldine understands her place in the pasture hierarchy (the one who eats last) and has to resort to subterfuge to get even 1 lick of salt while others are gorging themselves. She will be very dependent on other people's temperance and decency to get any tart (so, Pandolf is her best bet.)
Meanwhile Pampérigouste is trying to figure out how to escape the restaurant undetected to go on an adventure while the sheeple are talking about tart. She will get one or two or three slices but only if they can facilitate her various stratagems (for example, to bribe a guard at the door.)
The FISH—do not have the cognitive abilities to worry about morals but more importantly, do not experience soul-deep desires in the way the birds and mammals in this list do. My fish live in a smooth and quiet world where the gods make food rain from the sky every day. In this luminescent existence of untroubled abundance their capacity for longing has atrophied. They do not understand what wanting tart means, let alone the complex philosophical agonies humans can put themselves through when faced with culinary conundrums.
DONKEY. Pirlouit's first instinct would be to claim all the tart he can eat and then some. However donkeys and fish sit at opposite ends of the philosophical spectrum; Pirlouit strikes me as an animal who would be interested in exploring the ethical ramifications of the issue, as an intellectual exercise. 70% of his life consists in quiet deep ponderings. I think Pirlouit could get distracted ruminating the blueberry tart quandary in light of the rich philosophical heritage of donkey civilisation, and arrive too late to get any tart by the time he determined whether one or two slices is the right answer. Kind of like that time he got distracted by his need for revenge and was late for breakfast and the llamas had already claimed the hay.
IN CONCLUSION.
#ask#thank you for the question this was also fun to ponder!#morille & the hens were the most obvious answers

you like sharks? omg me too! My favorite kind of sharks are hammerheads. Do you have any facts about hammerhead sharks?
"ahh, hammerheads, i see! which species? scalloped? great? smalleye? carolina? smooth? scoophead? i personally don't have a preference, i used to like the bonnethead until i saw the scalloped, then the great, then the scalloped bonnethead, then the carolina, then i realized i'd never be able to choose any one hammerhead species! as for facts, let me think, there's too many interesting ones to choose from, hmm ... this one's pretty well known but it never fails to fascinate me that hammerheads were born with the ability to use their heads for hunting, thus the name 'hammerhead'! isn't that neat? their odd shape serves such a vital purpose! speaking of odd, their eyes are unable see the front view but are able to turn a full three hundred and sixty degrees! oh oh oh, and they like swimming closer to the surface which means they evolved to be able to develop a tan! haha! oh, that's a little long, isn't it? well, until next time, my dear viewer! thank you for the delightful question, i had so much fun!"

ASK ME ANYTHING (with Sunnie)
10 QUESTIONS
“Hello,*waves* I’m Sunnie from SEVENTEEN, and today I’ll be answering questions from Carats that <Elle> has provided me with!”
Q1 - What is your favorite SVT/Solo Song?
“Oh, that’s a good question! For Seventeen, it’s probably Mansae, Kidult, and Heaven’s Cloud. And for my solo songs, I love Star, perfect 10, and Our Street.”
Q2 - Do you prefer Blonde hair or Red hair?
“Hmm, I dye my hair blonde quite often, but it gets damaged kind of easily, and I had my hair dyed red during Super, and I really liked how it turned out, so red!”
Q3 - I miss your song covers.. Can we expect any anytime soon?
“Well I’m kind of busy recently and I haven’t had a lot of time to do any.. but you can expect some in the next few months!”
Q4 - Noona! How did it feel to win the Daesang last year?

“I like scary concepts; I want to do more of those definitely.”
Q7 - Do you want another pet? If so what kind?
“Another pet?” *hums* “I already have 2 dogs; still, if I were to get another pet, it would probably be a cat. But I’d have to discuss it with The 8 and Jun since we live together.”

WOOOO! Done just in time! @kirbyoctournament
Name: Olympea, the Pummeling Peacekeeper
Gender: She-himbo, She/Her
Age: Never ask a woman her age! (She's an adult.)
Occupation: Warrior/Hero of Yore
Species: Puffball/Starborn/Star Child/whatever the Kirby species is called.
Uh-oh, due to a temporal anomaly the Hero of Yore Olympea suddenly finds herself transported alive and well from Ancient Halcandra to the Kirby OC tournament! She doesn't know what's going on, but she'll roll with the punches and treat it like a fun dream vacation of sorts. She does like meeting all sorts of new people and trying new foods, weapons and technology. She'll have so many stories to tell her friends when she returns! It's probably for the best if she doesn't learn what disaster befell the four heroes in the regular timeline, though...
Some ground rules, just in case:
I would love seeing people's OC's interact with her! Asking Olympea questions is okay, but this is not an ask blog/rp blog and I'm not looking for extended roleplay. I may not answer your question. If I see potential for an interesting interaction I may draw it, but I can't promise anything. (Keep in mind if I don't respond right away -> 1: I'm timid and get anxious easily. 2: I may not have figured out that part of her story/the history of Ancient Halcandra yet. 3: The answer would have contained a spoiler for my fics. 4: I'm very slow at drawing.)
I'm joining this tournament for fun, so thank you for understanding!
Overview:
While she's not very big, intellectual or attuned to magic, she is unbeatably chipper and physically strong. She loves fighting and gleefully uses a variety of lovely accessories/weapons like a giant club, enchanted glaive, magitech gauntlets, etc. Her left glove allows her to access a dimensional storage. Teases hard, punches even harder. Actually quite feminine when off the clock. Loves magitech gadgets a lot. Doesn't think science or magic is better, because their society needs both. She's definitely not insecure about her height. She'd also never conjure a giant squeaky hammer to bop you over the head if you call her short.
Likes: Vegetables, Nectar, Trying new foods, The colour green, Flowers, Butterflies and moths, Pretty/cool/badass women, Her club, Brass knuckles, Tinkering, New gadgets, Teasing her friends, Seeing a certain winged magenta knight open up and feel genuine joy
Dislikes: Being mistaken for a child, Being called stupid, Stuck-up people, Seeing her friends being hurt, Strangers flicking her antennae, How much dust and scales her wings leave behind
Abilities: Able to fly. Very physically strong. Innately has access to Suplex and Hammer, but mainly uses her trusty club. Her boots and gauntlets let her emulate elements of Hi-jump, Laser and Mecha. (The boosted jump, laser finger guns and palm blasts, respectively.)
Weaknesses: Can't fly quickly. Stubby little arms limit her great strength with little reach. Distractable and a little naive. Can't resist eating strange and exotic snacks no matter the source. Seeing cute girls (she HAS to show off).
Fighting Style:
Her gauntlets are good for punching and the palms can release blasts of energy as well. They're mainly so she can hold large weapons well, since her actual hands aren't very big.
Her moth wings aren't very big either, so while she can normally fly and can still break her fall when she's armoured, she prefers to zip around close to the ground. It's often faster and easier to run and jump when she's fighting. Especially when she's wielding her heavy club. Her boots help her boost and maneuver quickly.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that because she prefers close range combat and isn't proficient with magic she can't attack at a distance. Her gauntlets possess finger laser guns and she can use her left glove (which she also wears under her gauntlet) to access her weapon hoard at all times. Who knows what else she keeps in there?
Even her civilian outfit isn't harmless. She still has access to her innate Suplex and Hammer abilities, after all. And those shoes have steel toes! Of course, the platform heels are just to keep her delicate wings from scraping across the ground when folded. No other reasons. (Like being taller.)
Design Thoughts:
Olympea is the first of the Heroes of Yore who came to me. I was thinking about how to describe the Heroes of Yore and knew I wanted at least one to be a woman. Suddenly her name resounded through my head! Then I just started associating. Olympea sounds like Olympics, so she must be strong. Pea calls to mind small, round and green, so what if she's (mostly) the same species as Galacta Knight? Peas are famous for research on genetics and alleles, so what if she was born, not formed like him? Maybe she doesn't have a lot of magical affinity. Then she needs weapons. Pea, peace, pea shooters, peas in a pod, peacemaker, pea-smacker. Let's give her a hammer, no, a club! She's strong, so what if she packs a punch? How about some gauntlets for punching? She can have a gun, wait, let's put the gun (pea shooter!) in her gauntlet's finger! She needs storage for her weapon hoard (girl needs to accessorise!) so what if her enchanted gauntlets let her access dimensional storage (peas in a pod)? Hmmm, does she have wings? There's a bug called a pea moth, so she has moth wings now. Her ponytail is twisted like a dried pea pod and not-so-coincidentally looks a bit like a cocoon when down and a boxing glove while up in a bun.
I maaay have gone completely overboard with the whole pea thing, but such is life. Although there is a bit of Hammer Lord in there as well. She doesn't hate magic, she just doesn't have a lot of affinity for it. She does enjoy tinkering and building weapons. This is how she ended up relying mostly on technology instead of magic.
She's not a knight and has no mask, because while many people depict all adult puffballs as masked knights (probably influenced by the Star Warriors from the K:RBAY anime) I personally don't think this has to be universal for their kind. How sad it would be if all they were destined for was fighting! ...And then I made her a warrior anyway. Oh well.

Why I Love Crosshair- A Story About Persevering
I talk about Crosshair so much on my blog. With TBB ending in a few days, I wanted to share with y'all why he resonates with me so deeply. This show and these characters have touched the hearts of so many in this fandom. I'm curious, which Batcher has resonated with you? Anyways, here we go!
Crosshair's hot. That's it. I'm a simple woman. Moving on.
He's really freaking cool- I'm not gonna like, seeing Crosshair make those trick shots has me on the edge of my seat. It's just so much fun to watch someone do an incredible skill whether it's dance, playing music, or in Crosshair's case, take out several battle droids with one shot. I love it.
His character arc- Crosshair is one of the most interesting and complex characters I've met in recent years. I'm not going to lie, it's refreshing to see a really well-written morally grey character. Crosshair's one and only loyalty is to his family (plus a few others). He will do anything for them. However, Crosshair isn't drawn to some bigger cause like Echo or Omega are. From my POV, it's something interesting to think about. What makes a good person? How far is one willing to go for someone they love? At what point does that loyalty and love turn selfish or self-destructive? These are all questions that Crosshair's character brings up.
I also appreciate the love and passion put into his character. Jennifer and the team took their time to give Cross a proper redemption. It wasn't as simple as "Crosshair just flips on a dime" or "he dies proving he still loved them." No. The change had to come from Crosshair. Crosshair had to be the one to make the steps towards coming home. It had to be his choice and his choice alone, not something that was forced onto him. I really appreciate that tbh. People are so complex and we all make mistakes. Crosshair made some pretty bad choices (not that he was 100% in control). Still, he had to figure things out for himself and when he was ready, he decided to come home.
His story- Crosshair's story is one of struggle and persevering in my eyes. "The Outpost" is one of the best depictions of what it's like to struggle with mental health. It's why I love it so much. I see a lot of myself in Crosshair. So often, it's much easier to just lie down and quit. But Crosshair doesn't quit. No. He fights. He fights so hard and in the end, he makes it. To see Crosshair come home after so long meant the world to me. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. You can and will make it. And he didn't do it alone. Omega continued to be a light in his life. Crosshair reminds me to never give up. Even when it all seems impossible, we need to keep going and there is hope for the future. When he meditates with Omega, I almost cried. That episode reminded me of my mom because she's constantly encouraging me and supporting me. She always tells me that I have to be the one to help myself. It's difficult and she will be there, but I can't just expect things to fix themselves. Similarly, Omega told Crosshair that he needed to help himself. I don't think I've ever related to a SW character as much as I have with Crosshair.
Crosshair has taught me so much about myself. Through him, I've learned that there's a lot going on in my head that I need to work on. I realized why S1 Hunter pissed me off so much. Because like Cross, there are times at home where I feel like no one listens. He taught me to keep going, to keep fighting, especially in times of great uncertainty. Crosshair and Omega's relationship shows just how special the impact of one person can have. I see their relationship reflected in my life in many ways. There's so much more I can say about Cross, but we would be here forever lol.
I am so grateful for Crosshair. I am so grateful for his story. He might be just a character, but he's really helped me tackle some rough times in my life. I love him with all my heart and will forever be thankful to TBB team for bringing his story to life.
Thank you DBB, Jen, Brad, Michelle, and everyone on TBB team. Thank you for everything ❤️

Alright, so I am new to the fandom, and while I have so many asks because I am INCREDIBLY invested in this show, I figured I'd start out with a "simple" one, maybe. What do you believe is the thematic symbolism of Raylan's hat and what it means when he doesn't wear it?
hi justie! welcome to the madness. when/if you're ever ready to come off anon, there's lots of blogs here for you to follow and we have a discord.
i love this question! thanks for popping into my ask box. i could write any entire essay on this with diagrams and screenshots, but i'll try to keep this short for now.
first off, i think it needs to be mentioned that the most obvious symbolism/use of the hat is how it immediately signifies to the audience that Justified isn't a typical cop drama, it's a modern-day western. a cowboy hat on top of the protagonist's head immediately clues you into that (plus it's sexy af let's be real).
beyond that, i think the hat is a mask for Raylan and he uses it to both comfort and empower himself. the same way he uses his star as a shield to get away with his outrageous behavior. Raylan swaggers around as a cool cowboy and has an asshole authority figure persona. and like most social masks, i believe it's simultaneously both true and un-true.
the color of Raylan's hat also has its very own symbolism. it's not a white hat (the official color is silverbelly), because Raylan isn't actually a hero. he's just the protagonist of the story.
as for what it means when he doesn't wear it...from what i can remember from watching (and rewatching the show), Raylan sometimes takes off his hat to be polite, but he isn't consistent about it. he wears it inside frequently. i don't think i can really ascribe any particular symbolism to when he doffs it VS when he doesn't. he just seems practical about both taking off + putting on his hat.
i will say however that he does seem to use the brim of his hat to hide his eyes sometimes. and in his intimate scenes with his lady friends, he doesn't leave the hat on (such a shame).
that's just what i think though! justies what do y'all think about raylan and his stetson?
#tooks.txt#you asked i answered#great question thank you this was so fun to think about#raylan givens#justified fx#ask a justie#also anon justie feel free to pop into my ask box any time#feed me more questions and thoughts and ideas

Helloooo! How are ya doing?
I was just reading your newest chapter of the MEDIC! fic and now i'm wondering: how are things in the present?
I mean, Emily simply vanished to the past never to be seen again, what is happening with her friends? Colleagues, family? Someone would notice... idk, just got really really reaaaally curious about it xD
I hope you're having a wonderful time! Thanks for writing so many good stuff, you are lovely and i absolutely adore ur story! 💕💕💕💕
Hello!
Thank you so much for all your support and love, it really means the world to me! I am always so happy when I see you have commented on my post! You are so sweet and kind, it really makes my day to hear from you!
So about Emily I have actually done a little bit of a backstory on her, it might help?
Was born in Boston Massachusetts to her Mother Melissa Lane, her father was not in the picture. Raised in a loving home with her Mother and Grandmother Kimberly (Nanny Kim). Had a good childhood when she was little. Had friends and was surrounded by love. When she was 14 her Mother was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer. Melissa went through all of the treatment and the outcome was looking good, until she had another biopsy. The doctors found the cancer had actually metastasised and had spread throughout her body, she was only given a few more years to live. When she was 16 her Nanny Kim passed away. Her mother seemed to be doing fine, Emily had hope she would pull through. Unfortunately her mother started going downhill in her health as expected and died just after Emily graduated high-school. Emily after loosing both of her only family members, started to push everyone away. She isolated herself and in doing this lost all of her support system. She was lost but knew she needed to earn money, she was always so grateful for the nurses who cared for her mother, so she applied to university to sit her Bachelor of nursing. It was hard, and she still was alone, but she persisted. She was in her final semester when the story begins.
So like she had thought in the chapter when she was comforting Babe (part 10, I think), she had worried no one would notice that she had disappeared. I guess we don't know how the present is until she goes back, if she goes back that is.
She is an empathetic person, who would've had many friends if she had been able to handle her mother's death. Unfortunately she shut down, she didn't want to make connections again because she was scared she would loose them, like she lost her mother. She thought it best to not love, rather than love and get hurt. But I think she has realised that she missed having those connections with people and has really found a new family within Easy company.
I hope this helps, we are a bit far from the ending but I have it planned, don't you worry! But for now we will just have to guess.
#thank you for your questions#I love lore#so this is fun#heheh#I had made her backstory ages ago#But I didn't think anyone would ask about it#so this is great#thank you for the ask!

It was hard to pick,,,,, so, fjskdjsksjs it’s so many (only sort of sorry,,ngl) 😂
5,17 for kiyazan
9,25 for daemon nd karima
8,15 for Gideon and valen loll
29 for all of em 💀
Once again I FORGOT ABOUT A BLORBO ASK but I literally had this in the drafts and everything and today I bring you answers FHRHDJKSSJ
Kiyazan:
5. How do they comfort each other when they are sad?
Yazan is a big actions guy so if something is bothering her he’d want to take care of it and fix it immediately also kiki loves cuddles and cuddles she shall receive fjskakdjdk will literally do anything to make it better,, holding her, talking about it, dancing it out, ordering her favorite takeout (yazan talking about it is a mix him being sincere and dissing the shit out of the person/situation and I kinda love it djdjskdjdk) leaving kiki’s part for you because I wanna know 😌💗
17. Their ways of expressing their love.
We talked about yazan putting up the shelves that kiara got that have been sitting around since forever and that pretty much what it’s about 😂 he just does things for her, or does things so she doesn’t have to. Pre relationship or pre living together yazan would just go around her house and fix anything that needed fixing fjdksidjdk,, also a big part of why he doesn’t mind doing the chores. To put it shortly acts of service and quality time!
Daemon and karima:
9. How open are they with their feelings?
I know why you’re asking this 😂💀 karima is…. Unfortunately still not the best at it at least in a serious vulnerable context and she bottles up a lot BUT she would sit down with him and be like “can I tell you something homie to homie 😔” and even then she tries to to keep it from getting too deep even when it comes to expressing love she’s not one to get Too sentimental but will let him know she cares about him. But this is mostly when they’re still in the beginning of their relationship (honestly it might take her 2+ years of being like that 💀) but I will say the first time she lets herself cry in front of him…………..
25. Share any headcanons about their relationship.
FHDKSJSKDJ ok so you know karima will just KO whenever wherever and her sleep is heavyyyyyy lol and I just think daemon doesn’t let her sleep in her makeup that’s all 😌 she’s knocked tf out snoring and all and he’s just 🥰 wiping her makeup off and doing her skincare for her
Valen and Gideon:
8. What are their most prominent memories of each other?
PLEASE 😭 valen’s is that he used to keep a pet rat as a kid, everybody refused to acknowledge it because it wasn’t actually a pet it was some rat he found lurking in their gardens and deemed it his bestie and would check up on it every day fssksjdjdj and when the rat died gideon was the one that buried and held a funeral for it 😔
Gideon’s most prominent memory has to be valen punching his dad in a room full of people loll bc not only was it incredibly humiliating and an act of love towards his bestie but it was also the first time anyone really stood up to this bully of a man and he just got wrecked by a teenager fjskaksjdj it was great seeing him hunched over w a bleeding nose until he made a comment about the company his son keeps and then it was both boys vs the guards trying to tear them off him fjdksksjskdn
15. Does their view of themselves differ from their partner’s view?
Sort of lol,, gideon struggles so much with his self image and thinks he’s broken and has nothing to offer or that letting ppl get to know him is essentially a burden on him and them so he just doesn’t make friends or meaningful relationships easily and valen over here just Fails to fathom it because to him gideon’s the most solid friend he’s ever had and literally nothing like all those things he says about himself and so he always makes it a point to let him know all the things he appreciates about him
Valen on the other hand thinks he’s the most interesting and amazing person anyone has the pleasure of knowing and that he’s worth it and because he’s set that expectation for himself any criticism from others or negative emotions from himself is shoved aside in favor of the facade and while gideon agrees he’s amazing and lowkey idolizes him lol he’s the only one actually capable of giving him a reality check that he’ll listen to and seeing him as just valen
All:
29. What are your favorite moments that happen between them?
WAAHHHH LMAO ok to be completely fair my fave kiyazan moment is them throwing up into the same toilet together and kiki tolerating the bugs yazan collects despite hating them bc if this isn’t love idk what is 😂
My favorite daemon karima moment is him kicking the ball in her face when they first met DJDKSKDJDJFN and also ceramics class
And my fave valengideon moment is them going into the city and buying some lame lizard which turned out to be a large dragon they tried hiding in a barn where hay and fire don’t mix very well SGDHFKSKDJDJ rip
[oc romance asks]
#hope this helps 😂👍#I think I spent 3 hours writing this 💀#im obliterated bye#how could you ask me these questions#I’m politely requesting your blorbos pov for this btw I need to know how kiki comforts Yazan and how open daemon is about his feels#karima still acting nonchalant with him for a while and then letting the floor gates open one day is just so emotional to me fjrjskdjdk#that hit me harder than it should’ve negl#Valen was devastated when the rat died#bawled his eyes out the entire funeral rip#you and your bestie beating tf out of his asshole dad can be so romantic actually FJSKAJDKDKDJ#they got into trouble with valen’s dad that night but he thought that going for the nose was a great move for what it’s worth so it wasn’t#a complete loss loll#(typing that made me realize that even tho they were grounded#they all agreed that it was safer to have gideon stay with them a few days than sending him back to his dad) and I hated it#ask#oc asks#thank u for these I had fun answering them 💗💗💗💗💗#my ocs#kiyazan#daemon x karima#valen x gideon

sometimes i forget that there are people who listen to the mountain goats for the “quality” “music” and don’t consider anything anything older than ahwt to even be listenable…
#which isn’t to say that i DON’T think they have objectively good songs#but just that the quality of the music itself is beside the point for me#it’s completely unrelated to the point#aggressively outing myself as a ‘lyrics guy’ here but that is legitimately all that i care about#when i listen to a song (any song not just tmg) all i’m asking is are the lyrics good and is the singer selling it#if the answer to both of those questions is yes then i love the song#if the answer to the lyrics question is no but they’re REALLY selling it then maybe#but if they’re not selling it then it’s a lost cause#even if the lyrics are great tbh#which is what i like tmg for#because JD sells everything SO hard#but yeah recently saw somebody say they don’t listen to anything older than ahwt and don’t even find ahwt that good#and i’m just like wow. we leave in different worlds…#not that i’ve listened to all the new stuff#but i cannot believe that it’s SO good that it would make me forsake everything that came before#it’s clearly just a taste difference#some people don’t like the rougher stuff that lacks a full band#but I’m not here for the music… i’m here for the poetry which just happens to be in musical form#i’m glad JD can also create full songs and has fun with that - i’m happy for him and for those who enjoy that specifically#but i just think. it’s all good.#thank you and goodnight 😌

I saw you reblogged some stuff about them, so - Xdinary Heroes. Thoughts?
many postitive ones!!!. they've been the only jype group with good styling in the last however knows how long, and i love bands so having a new idol band on the scene was going to catch my attention regardless of if i ended up liking what they were doing or not. their debut song seemed to be generally unpopular with people (at least in the circles i'm in) but i thought it was great and it had really eyecatching styling, which is precisely what a debut needs. and they followed it up with a really good mini and this new cb is even better. they can also absolutely DESTROY a cover like nobody's business, they did an INSANE love me right cover on k909 that i need everyone to see like right now. also the tomboy cover that if you haven't seen it already i need you to also see like right now. they also did a drown (bmth) cover like right around debut that i thought was a great showing for so early on and also proves as a good metric for how much they've improved over the last year. if you like rock i'd recommend giving them a listen! my personal faves are strawberry cake, hair cut, pirates, knock down, zzz, x-mas, and ghost!
#kpop questions#xdinary heroes#xdinary heroes w#this is my stan xdinary heroes psa theyre fucking great#i am consistently surprised that they're under jype bc 1) good styling and 2) multiple people with good vocals?#and no trace of the jyp nasal head voice?#they know how to chest voice?#i have to assume its bc theyre under a sublabel and they probably have a totally separate team but i am so thankful#there's not like. a lot to talk about with them in terms of performance bc theyre a band lmao#but theyre fun to watch and jooyeon is so very bass player shaped (complimentary)#i LOVED the styling for haircut like i'm not even mad the hair from the concept photos didnt appear in the mv bc it was SO fucking good#i'm not like. actively paying attention to what theyre doing extra content wise bc who has time for that but i'm listening to them a lot#jooyeon is just going insane in that tomboy cover and i think about it so much all the time constantly#have i convinced you yet. get on the bandwagon#WAIT I FORGOT ABOUT THE IMPOSSIBLE COVER THAT'S GOOD TOO!!!!!!!!!!#text#answers#nana and i have a joke that bc the last idol band that did dance practices was aoa we're about 2 yrs away from xh's miniskirt era lskdjflsd

Does Patrick ever let the ghost of Felicity guide his actions AS IN does he sometimes regret things, avoid things, pursue things because of how he feels Felicity might have felt about them? What about Myungdae? Does Yoojin ever fear that perhaps he's immortal enough to outlive the world itself, to then be stuck and entirely alone? Are there feelings of inadequacy of any kind that plague Ray and could he vocalise them? Does Lam ever feel like he's stuck, does he feel like he's exactly where he's supposed to be or is he haunted by trauma restlessness, that prompts him to always keep moving, metaphorically or otherwise? How does Mana feel about her hands, about her skin, can she hold herself? Does she feel comfortable or uncomfortable at the notion of offering herself gentleness? Does K feel as though removed from life as others feel it, does his involvement with so many high-stakes, national affairs and people, make him feel as though he's actually playing a part in getting something done or does he fear being a wheel in this kind of machine, because of the life he can't have due to that?
Bonus, Hyurick Pain™ (i'm a huge fan~): Has Patrick and/or Myungdae ever feared as though losing Felicity as he did would make him... inadequate (not a good word, BUT I CAN'T FIND WHAT I MEAN), almost, to love Hyuk? Did he ever fear the world might doubt him capable enough of moving on? Does he trust in love?
@mythvoiced LENA THESE QUESTIONS WERE FIRE OH MY GOSH 😲😲😲 ( unprompted. )
Does Patrick ever let the ghost of Felicity guide his actions AS IN does he sometimes regret things, avoid things, pursue things because of how he feels Felicity might have felt about them?
hahaha, you would think that after at least ten years patrick would have moved on from felicity by now bc of the sheer fact of, you know, it’s been ten years and that realistic that is a really long time to be mourning someone :’D if we’re talking about relationship wise or even just in regards to friendships, I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily the ghost of felicity, herself that makes him hesitant to open up to other people, but rather it’s the suddenness and brutality at how she was taken that made him clam up. like, before meeting felicity, patrick was pretty closed off…like of course, hyuk was his bff ( and will always be his bff ) and is one person whom patrick is comfortable with being himself around, but it’s kinda like?? You know, different people will bring out different sides of you?? so in this case, felicity, since she was more on the cheery and outgoing side, being around her really encouraged him to loosen up, ‘let his hair down’ if that makes any sense :’D I would say patrick was his most playful when he was dating felicity.
Which is why when felicity passed, patrick didn’t just go back to the way he had been before meeting, he became much more serious and reserved- like take how reserved and serious he is in main verse, now multiply that by like 10 and you have patrick in the aftermath of felicity’s passing…I even would say he hardly, like really smiled for like, the first year after she was gone ( although it also didn’t help that communication between hyuk and him had been on the sparser side due to a. work and b. patrick really hermitting in response to the grief…
Where was I going with this though?? OH YEAH the brutality of her passing- so let’s just say when you see the body of the love of your life that has been burnt to a crisp, it does…things to your brain. It sticks in a very permanent way and makes him almost…scared to pursue new relationships bc what if something like that happens to whoever else comes into his life?
Which is why I will say that felicity’s passing, although he knows logically she would want him to find and pursue new relationships…the way he lost her makes him hesitant to say, deepen the bonds of friendship with other people since that requires a certain degree of vulnerability that he doesn’t feel comfy with ( hyuk is both an exception and not an exception in that a. patrick was already best friends with hyuk before dating felicity and b. literally ten years. It takes them ten years to actually act on these feelings ).
On the romantic end as well, he has been encouraged by fellow colleagues and friends to perhaps seek new love as he deserves it, however, again, it’s not just that felicity was so special to him and he didn’t ( I’m using past tense here bc of hyuk :’D ) think there was anyone quite up to her calibre and therefore wouldn’t feel that it’s fair to pursue something he only felt half-heartedly about, BUT also it’s that the way she went that again haunts and he instinctually doesn’t feel right about setting her memory aside for his own happiness.
( that and also when the ‘accident’ that killed her was covered up, it also happens that any trace of her was also covered up…and save for one physics teacher in LA, patrick felt like he has a responsibility to keep her memory alive somehow :’(( )
What about Myungdae?
So unlike with patrick, myungdae never quite?? Had the time to process her death ( granted patrick had ten years and in those ten years, peace and quiet and his best friend, while myungdae had half the time and none of those things ) aka he’s still pretty raw about her passing. Whereas he might be able to speak about hyuk briefly to team checkmate, felicity is an off-limits topic; his temper will be triggered if probed on it ( which is also why when naomi starts to appear in seoul, myungdae will be HM- let’s hope he’s reunited with hyuk by that time, otherwise no one’s getting any information about felicity there :// ).
Anyways, my point is that myungdae clings to the small reminders of felicity kinda like the way a child clings to their security blanket….it’s the reason he still carries around the pocket watch she gave him even though analog clocks are his worst nightmares :/// or why, say, he always keeps red hair ties in his desk/pocket or even why he’ll listen to sound of beach waves to soothe himself. for him, felicity is both a painful reminder and a safe space, as he associates her with the life he led five years ago…basically when he felt like a whole person, not an echo of that like shin myungdae and the black knight are D-:
Does Yoojin ever fear that perhaps he's immortal enough to outlive the world itself, to then be stuck and entirely alone?
As he says, he’s ‘been there, done that’. the place where I like to write him is where he’s come to accept that people will come and go, but for every goodbye there’s always going to be a hello- that being said, he finds that there’s no point in fearing the end of humanity ( although he really really would prefer if that didn’t happen ) when there’s still the present to contend with….but if that really does end up being the scenario, he’ll probably try to put a positive spin on it. Aka go befriend the aliens or whatever species end up coming after the humans :D
( although seriously, he really would hope?? That sooner or later his curse would end by that time…not that he’s looking for death necessarily, but rather, he’d like to go to an eternal rest once he is truly alone :’D )
Are there feelings of inadequacy of any kind that plague Ray and could he vocalise them?
I think it’s definitely living up to his dad’s legacy as his cooking in the past does get compared to roy evans’ cooking and is considered second to that…years of trying to live up with that does give him insecurity about just…being considered a good cook in general? Which is also why he indulges in his demon spawn recipes…bc he already knows it’s gonna taste terrible SO there’s no need to worry about being judged :’D
as for vocalizing them, that’s something he doesn’t feel quite ready to divulge to anyone about yet?? Annnd this is also why I would think that he likes lam so much bc lam?? Well yeah he’s a hot mess and while neither of them have spoken about their histories with one another ( yet ), but lam also is surprisingly quite open about his insecurities and opinions and of course no one likes to be around a grump 24/7 BUT…there’s something comforting to ray about the fact that someone can be so open with their opinions without fear of censure over what other people might say when ray can’t bring himself to be open about the bad parts of himself if that makes any sense :’D
Does Lam ever feel like he's stuck, does he feel like he's exactly where he's supposed to be or is he haunted by trauma restlessness, that prompts him to always keep moving, metaphorically or otherwise?
Of those three options, I think lam feels stuck more than anything. Although I suppose this might be a common feeling for a lot of people his age ^^’ sans getting screwed over by a friend and feeling guilt over that… in a physical sense, there are times where he feels really heavy and just can’t bring himself to do anything…most of the time that happens after he visits robin and it kinda feels like he can’t get out of his own body since the guilt ( metaphorically ) takes on a physical sensation and paralyzes him….but to go back to feeling stuck, it’s like, he is taking the steps to move forward ( aka with his job and making friends with new people all while figuring out who he is and what he wants out of his relationships ) BUT he also feels like…tethered?? To robin if that makes any sense?? Like, she’s been behind bar for at least two years and in those two years, she hasn’t really…changed aka her sentiments on what has happened, she hasn’t changed her perspective on the situations, those sentiments have only deepened…and so when he visits her it’s almost like unwillingly time traveling to how he was right before the accident….and he really doesn’t want to but also he knows that robin doesn’t have anyone else waiting for her on the other side so…it’s quite the predicament for him here :/
How does Mana feel about her hands, about her skin, can she hold herself? Does she feel comfortable or uncomfortable at the notion of offering herself gentleness?
You know Lena, that’s actually a really good question because most times when I think about gentleness in mana’s case, it’s almost always in the case of how she treats others. THAT BEING SAID, that’s such an accurate observation on your part since a lot of times, I’ve found, people who are harsh with others, typically are pretty harsh with themselves as well…
In the case of mana though, when it comes to her own body, it’s still a process for her to consider her own body as well, a home to live in since for so long, she’s had to see it as purely a means of survival. ( ex. Providing company for mister dinh ). As result of that time, it could be safe to say, even though she was in a safe environment post high school and could have food to eat always, she lived as if she did before….which means, often skipping meals ( or just straight up not being able to eat well bc of her body reject said foods…) and have irregular sleeping hours. It’s not until daniel’s death though when these issues really started to become an issue for her as inadvertent brought up all of the trauma that she had pushed down from before college ( and this includes witnessing her mother’s death ).
To answer your question though, she has begun to acknowledge it more, aka take attempts to…pamper it if that makes any sense as in the past, she was more inclined not necessarily to hurt it, but more of to ignore it aka treat it as a separate entity that she has no real attachment to from herself. As for providing herself with gentleness, again, that’s also a process she’s learning to get use to although a good number of this coarseness that she was giving herself before was pretty subconscious as it took quite some time to realize that yeah, she blamed herself for both her mother’s and daniel’s passings. And as such, she self-sabotaged majorly in the first year following daniel’s passing….
Does K feel as though removed from life as others feel it, does his involvement with so many high-stakes, national affairs and people, make him feel as though he's actually playing a part in getting something done or does he fear being a wheel in this kind of machine, because of the life he can't have due to that?
I think for right now, at least in k’s main verse, from my understand, K is, as you’ve pointed out, very removed and isolated from life as the others might know it and he does that by choice. Even after he gets his revenge, you can see that he still remains by yo-han’s side and while part of it does come from an undying loyalty to the one person who has been by his side all these years, I also see it as because k has isolated himself all these years to follow yo-han, k feels he doesn’t have anything really to live for?? or at least a purpose…of course, it’s a very dangerous lifestyle and since k has fulfilled his goal, he could technically leave yo-han behind for their own safety. HOWEVER, they don’t and honestly, it makes sense to me bc dying is scary, but what’s scarier than that?
Living.
Bonus, Hyurick Pain™ (i'm a huge fan~): Has Patrick and/or Myungdae ever feared as though losing Felicity as he did would make him… inadequate (not a good word, BUT I CAN'T FIND WHAT I MEAN), almost, to love Hyuk? Did he ever fear the world might doubt him capable enough of moving on? Does he trust in love?
HAHAHAHA so this is where I get to nerd about why I love hyurick soooo much ( shoutout to alex @jeoseungsaja for wonderful ship and being a wonderful ship partner ), thank for this opportunity lena to allow me to indulge in hyurick PAIN :’D JFKLSDJFLK
So, this is actually kind of a question/concern I did have any ship that patrick would have following felicity ( and it was one w/ calum post mana’s passing as well ), which is that because felicity is such an integral part of patrick’s backstory and as a result, he will always love felicity…and unfortunately some muns/muses aren’t exactly…okay with that?? like I’ve had some muns who want their muse to be the ONLY one in my muse’s heart, which just isn’t going to happen :/ ANYWAYS, the point is that I knew that if patrick was to get into a romantic ship, there may be the question of ‘does he love this person because they remind him of felicity’ or ‘does he love this person because they’re filling in the void that felicity left behind’. In both of those cases, I know for a fact that patrick ( and calum for that matter ) would NEVER get into a relationship/ship if that was the case.
But that’s one of the biggest reasons I really?? Love hyurick!! because ( and alex feel free to correct me on ANY of this ) it’s not a competition between hyuk and felicity. Hyuk completely respects the place felicity has in patrick’s life ( and as a matter of fact, they were at the very least acquiantances ), understands that patrick will always love her, and would never try to replace her in patrick’s life. I like to think that when she was alive, she probably made like an unspoken promise with hyuk to ‘protect patrick because he’s too busy taking care of everyone else’. Basically, their mutual point is patrick so if one were to perish ( like felicity did ), the other would be there to take care of patrick.
On patrick’s end, again he would never to use hyuk to replace felicity in his heart because hyuk, first of all, is his platonic love, so they’ve already had a very strong bond hyuk?? understands that :’D basically, what I’m trying to say, is that patrick’s romantic feelings for hyuk developed independently from his grief. i also believe I have told alex that after felicity’s second passing, patrick does actually put breaks on the budding relationship between him and hyuk bc it wouldn’t’?? feel right to pursue this relationship while he’s properly grieving felicity’s death 🥲
BUT BUT!! I actually had this shower thought and honestly, this might explain why patrick knows for a fact that his feelings for hyuk are genuine. This was completely unintentional, but when I was developing felicity, she accidentally mirrored hyuk in that they are (were) both lively hotheads who also happened to really like the beach. and with her backstory now set in stone, they both have rough histories when it comes to families. It just might not seem that way initially because by the time felicity met patrick, she had softened a fair bit so some of that temper mellowed more into cheerfulness.
With this in mind, I actually argue that not only does patrick’s relationship with felicity inform how he approaches his romantic relationship with hyuk, but patrick’s friendship with hyuk also informed how he approached his romance with felicity. He was friends with hyuk first and knowing what kind of background hyuk had come from, it allowed him to also approach felicity in the way that would make her feel comfortable once he got the full picture. To summarize, basically he wouldn’t be the person is with either felicity or hyuk if he didn’t have a relationship with the other person :’D
Now for myungdae though- yowza, uh so what happened with felicity is more or less one of the reasons he avoids hyuk like the plague. Because it is partially because he doesn’t want ANACHRON to hurt hyuk the way they did with felicity, however it is also due to an internalized belief that he ultimately ends up hurting the people he cares about inadvertently ( considering that in those five years, there were individuals who did help him and then were killed and/or tortured because they did so ). At this point, moving on isn’t a thought for him because to begin with, he’s not even sure if he’s going to make it out in one point to have the chance to move on :///

Home from my trip, I managed to navigate the city capitol interstate in the dark+rain mostly on my own :D (not without a death grip on my steering wheel the whole time, but that's okay)
Wasn't actually able to take any pictures, which is rare bc I usually come back from trips with at least 20. All I got was a picture of a miniature deck of cards I won in a game and the pretty state welcome sign on my way back in (taken with no other vehicles around me but my dad's, of course) (and theres one of these at every possible entrance to the state so i dont think this really says where i was at). Trip blab in tags but tldr; it was fun :)
#so it was my mom's side of the family (who are all extremely chaotic people) and they loooooove planning games at these get-togethers#one of them was a christmas trivia game we did last year with candies as rewards for getting stuff right#and my grandparents put together the questions this year and pawpaw came out like 'hey these are all really easy but itll be fun anyway'#every. damn. question. was about the story of the birth of jesus.#obscure shit too like 'who was the prophetess that told about jesus' birth in the old testament' (which was unfortunately asked to me :') )#and out of all 35 of us only two people got any questions right#mind you; one family there was a PASTOR'S FAMILY#ive never seen such a look of disappointment from pawpaw; he was losing faith in all of us#I think the only other funny thing that happened was; i went to grab some food and had to walk over people that were sitting on the floor#i guess i stepped over them too dramatically bc i heard my siblings behind me go 'why's she walking all fruity like that' and honestly#i was internally wheezing (I guess they didnt realize i heard them but it was still so funny)#maybe its one of those funny things thats funnier in person/in the moment it happens but still lol#otherwise i ended up dozing while people played cards and its a good thing i did bc i felt great driving home#it started to rain as soon as we got to nashville#i hate going through there bc theres ~4 major lane changes that happen while everyone else seems to forget the speed limit exists#and my dad has one of those big ass trucks so he was kicking up water in my windshield and i couldn't see#i ended up zooming to get in front of him and tried to figure out city traffic on my own (which i did very well and without a hitch :D)#I'll put together the music i was listening to omw home if anybody's interested#six hour long playlist of the most random shit#🥜🥜<-tasty snack as thank you for reading this far#not rb

orion, casseieopa, sea that has become known <3
Thank you so much for the ask! Sorry about how late this is.
Orion - What is one skill that you would love to master?
There are so many... if I had to pick one skill, I guess I would say communicating with people and maintaining friendships, because those are important to me and I like to feel secure in my relationships. There are so many things that I want to learn, though, ugh. I wish I could translate Latin more easily and eventually reach a point where I can read and speak(ish) it fluently.
Cassiopeia - What is your dream future?
I really want to be a lawyer, specifically criminal defense (specifically for groups that are disproportionately/unfairly prosecuted). I wouldn't mind studying classics and being an anthropologist or historian though or something sociology-related or writing. Anyway, I want to live in a major city with my best friend and my cats, and I want to be really involved in my community both for community service and just for being a Regular in my area. I also kind of want to get a PhD. I'm not sure what in, but if I ever have the time, money, and motivation, like... elementary school me really wanted a PhD and I want to do that for her.
Sea That Has Become Known - What do you want to be famous for?
Oh, I don't know. I'm honestly not sure that I want to be famous, but if I had to be famous for something, I would want it to be something like... really big with civil rights or reforming the American prison system (or y'know completely scrapping it). I think I'd rather be remembered in my small community than famous, though.
#ask tag#dante dicit#sorry if my writing tone here was somewhat depressing i'm in a weird mood#i really do wanna do law though and help people and like... fix things#i specifically got into law through a forensic science class that i took#bc my teacher showed us a lot about how fucked the criminal justice system is and i wasn't really sure what i wanted to do#like i wanted to be a writer but i was kinda like 'yeah im probs not gonna be successful like that'#and tbh i don't want to have to do my hobby for money#however i *am* a good writer and i can be very persuasive and i think i'm pretty good at advocating for people#and i was like 'law seems cool bc it aligns with my skills and interests and i can do something good with it'#my only concern was the public speaking but then i took a public speaking class and i am actually#great at public speaking and i fucking enjoy it a lot#and uh don't tell anyone but i think the lsat is actually realllly fun i've done some practice lsat questions and they're! logic puzzles!#dante digreditur#also actually thank you so much for this ask bc thinking abt why i wanna do law is making me feel better abt#college apps and shit

Comfortable
Summary: Astarion walks in on you in a rather compromising situation. Naturally, he offers to help, but then you ask him to promise you something that he was not expecting…
Pairing: Astarion x female!Tav
Warnings: 18+. Astarion's POV. Fluff. Aftercare. Oral sex. Pillow humping. Innuendo. Mentions of masturbation.
Word count: 3.3k
It's a wavering sequence of whimpers that catches Astarion's attention just as he arrives at camp after a late night hunt.
The blood on non thinking creatures seldom presents itself as a decent meal, but he finds it unfair to depend exclusively on you.
The boars in the outskirts of Baldur's Gate are delectable enough to blind his hunger for a few hours – maybe a full day, if need be.
The camp seems peaceful and quiet with everyone still catching some rest after in their respective tents, and as the pale moon glows up high in the dark blue sky, he notices the dawn isn't breaking for at least a few more hours.
Maybe he can indulge in a trance to ease his mind and body after feeding, even though it's not a dire necessity.
But it seems that the night has other plans reserved for him.
His steps are light and sure, following the crescendo of sounds that seems to come from near his tent.
He would recognise that voice anywhere.
You.
As he draws near, trying to make out the origin of said whimpers, he vaguely wonders if you're having a dream.
That is the most reasonable explanation.
But then he hears what resembles a muffled groan.
A nightmare?
Instinctively, an eyebrow quirks as he approaches your tent.
And then he freezes.
Even through the obvious failed attempt at reining yourself in, he knows exactly what he heard.
His name. Muffled and barely intelligible, but his name, nonetheless.
An amused smile tugs at his lips as it dawns on him that you are indeed pleasuring yourself. Risky and unexpected, but beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Cheeky…
He could simply entertain this, and leave it to you to reach your peak on your own.
Unfortunately for him, he has just fed.
And unfortunately for you, he has every intention of interrupting your solo endeavour.
His usual cool body now flooded with the warmth and vigour that make it extremely easy not to succumb to your sweet and melodic whimpers.
As such, he tugs at the strings that hold both flaps together, successfully drawing a surprised gasp from you.
“You scared me!”
He finds you propped up on one elbow before rushing to sit and pulling a blanket to cover yourself, a mortified look splattered across your face.
The sight in front of him is enough for the recently drunk blood to rush downwards at record speed.
Predictable, but such is the nature of his body when it comes to you.
Flustered and quickened breaths. His senses are so sharp from the recent blood intake, that he can hear your heartbeat drumming fast in your chest.
By now, he knows you well enough.
So well, that he's sure he has just interrupted your climax.
The confirmation comes in the form of a low growl of frustration.
He almost feels sorry for you, but what crosses his mind is the offer of a moment of pleasure so great only he can provide.
“You were close.”
It isn't a question and he doesn't expect an answer.
But you're so visibly irritated that you scowl deeply. “Yes! Yes, I was. Thank you so much for interrupting.”
“My pleasure,” he retorts, knowing fully well he's about to set off a bomb if he doesn't choose his words carefully.
You have a temper he adores to test. He's used to dancing to your tune and knows exactly which strings to pull to get you riled up in ways that often lead to very enjoyable outcomes.
His cock welcomes your huff of annoyance with a faint twitch.
“Why didn’t you just… wait…” you almost cry out in sheer frustration.
He lets out a taunting laugh. “What, and miss out on all of the fun, darling?”
A dramatic pout settles your lips and it takes all of his self-control not to wipe it off your face with a kiss in an instant.
“How many did you take this time?”
It is a glaring taunt.
And your mouth drops open.
Maybe he should have eased his way in, considering the current predicament.
But the way your body is all flustered and heated from your own touch is enough to flare desire inside him. And whenever desire begins to swell inside him, the fine line between reason and pleasure begins to blur.
Mostly because he knows he was the one on your mind when you had your fingers deep inside you.
Your eyes widen slowly, and you clutch the blanket closer to your lower half, still hiding the proof of your arousal from his prying eyes.
You don't reply at first, your pride keeping you silent.
But Astarion doesn't mind. In fact, he enjoys your resistance at first. Makes it all the more enjoyable when you finally give in.
“How many, darling?”
You frown, averting your eyes.
So stubborn…
His cock adores it.
“How many?” his tone is firmer this time and you slowly meet his eyes again.
“... two.”
He clicks his tongue, crouching before you. “Oh, darling…”
Two fingers are not nearly enough to provide the fullness and stretch that only his cock can. But he appreciates your effort nonetheless.
It's quite adorable and enough to have his cock hardening even more.
Your fingers still glisten in the faint candlelight and he feels the sudden urge to have them in his mouth. He never tires of tasting you in more ways than one.
“You do not need to hide from me,” he says tenderly, but still not moving an inch. He wants you to feel comfortable enough under his gaze. “You've bared yourself to me many times, love.”
Still, you don't let go of the fabric, a slash of defiance crossing your face. “You took too long.”
Ah. “Did you miss me?”
You bite your lip, face softening as you nod twice.
And you were so desperate for him that you just couldn't wait?
Gods.
His cock stirs even more against his trousers at the silent realisation.
“And I am here now,” he says, dropping to his knees, as a wicked smile turns his lips. “So, allow me.”
He reaches out with his hand to tug at the fabric, silently looking for your permission.
A shaky sigh parts your lips and he spots a shiver as he pulls the blanket that keeps you from him.
His eyes drop to the sweet spot between your legs and he almost regrets having interrupted you.
Almost.
Your clit is so swollen it deliciously peeks from between your folds, parting them gently. It throbs faintly as he catches your clenching a few times, wetness dripping out.
After a moment, he manages to tear his gaze away, ignoring the twitches of protest from his cock.
He finds your half-hooded eyes. “May I?”
You hesitate at first, nearly pressing your thighs together, but he stops you with both hands on your knees, a reassuring grip that has you slowly but surely loosen up under his touch.
“You don't have to…”
No, he doesn't.
But he wants to.
In fact, he thinks he needs to.
He rubs circles along your flushed skin, wanting your full attention on him before he speaks, “I appreciate the concern, darling, but I'm impossibly hard and you look incredibly delectable.”
It's more than enough to have you yearning for more, as a surprise gasp parts your lips.
You finally nod, spreading your legs and leaning back as you settle on your elbows.
He offers a sly grin, lowering and positioning himself right where he craves to be.
But not before he eases some of the growing tension on his lower half. The blood coursing through his body is more of an inconvenience for now, and he's sure, under different circumstances, he'd have better control over this.
Or maybe not.
Maybe you're just that good for him.
You jerk slightly when his mouth draws near your slick folds.
“Wait.”
And he does, his concentration slightly shaken as he promptly scans your face for any cause for alarm.
“Just… don't leave afterwards.”
Don't leave–
Astarion's lips are so close to your clit, he has to pull back slightly so he can have a proper look at you, his hardened cock still straining against his undergarments.
“What do you mean?” he asks, perplexed.
There is hesitance in your eyes. “You tend to leave after… like you don't want to be here with me.”
That sounds like a whiplash to him, because it is not true at all.
Your words take him by surprise and he immediately worries he may have said or done something that could be interpreted as mixed signals.
“Darling, I–”
But you immediately shake your head. “If you can stay after… I'd appreciate it. Only you want to, of course,” you quickly add. “It doesn't feel right otherwise…”
It isn't a request. Nor a plea.
It's just what feels right.
He's done this many times to the point of instinct. It comes natural to him to please others. The aftermath, though, is something that he's also used to forgoing. The mess, the sweat, the fluids… the unnecessary and forced talk…
But you are different, aren't you?
You are not… the others.
And after all you've been through, he feels his mind nearly snap in half as he realises just how much he's still holding back with you.
Even something as simple as just staying still felt… tainted.
Slowly, he nods.
And slowly, your lips turn into a tender smile that he's grown to adore beyond comprehension.
“I'll stay.”
You heave a deep sigh of relief. “Thank you.”
Astarion counters the impromptu detour with unmatched expertise, lowering his head and admiring just how eager your body is for him.
Before he drags his tongue along your folds, he slithers his hand down to reach for the front of his trousers, hurriedly undoing them.
It's his turn to sigh in relief as his cock is set free.
But now he misses the friction and the carpeted floor of your tent feels too rough.
His eyes roam around in search of something – anything – more comfortable.
And then he's caught off guard by your offer.
“Maybe this will help.”
A pillow.
He chuckles deviously, appreciating your creativity in moments such as these. Promptly, he takes it in his hand and positions it under him, his cock welcoming the soft surface.
“I adore that mind of yours,” he says cheekily.
You are about to voice a reply, but no word comes out when his tongue hits your entrance.
Immediately, your hips buck and his smile never wavers.
He knows what you crave, but he will take his time even if you're already close to the edge.
After all, he's addicted to his devotion to you even if he never utters it out loud. He prefers his actions speak for themselves. Words are treacherous and deceiving. Actions speak louder.
And so he indulges in you. He indulges you, because that is what keeps him from reaching the frayed ends of his mind.
You're what grounds him these days.
And he will ground you with him.
As such, he drags the tip along your folds, collecting your wetness and he only stops once it finds your clit.
A soft moan escapes your lips and he hopes you have it in you to keep it down so as to not wake the others.
He locks eyes with you one last time. “Are you ready, darling?”
Your hips roll twice, but he knows you're not ready. You never are for the pleasure he offers to you so passionately.
Another roll and he knows you're growing impatient, so he gives your clit a quick swipe of his tongue before he latches.
He doesn't begin suckling hard right away, as he needs to ensure he can steady you for what's to come. Both arms loop around your thighs and he allows his eyes to flutter shut, losing himself in you.
It amazes him how your body responds to him, and your hips try to find a desperate rhythm as if you're riding his cock.
The pillow under him provides enough friction for him to roll his own hips, eager to match your tempo.
He could feel the wetness drenching the fabric, but he can't bring himself to care.
Your hand finds his curls and he growls against your clit as you tug gently, but evidently craving more.
And more he gives you.
He's sucking more fiercely this time, taking his time to savour the swell in between his teeth. From this angle, he can feel your wetness coating his chin. He can't directly feel it, but he just knows you're clenching desperately around nothing.
Maybe he should take it slower.
Maybe he should pry you open with two of his fingers, even though you're wet enough to take a third one.
But the unexpected friction caused by the pillow is begging to edge him beyond belief.
Is it from the blood he drank? Is he just so ridiculously aroused? Why is your clit so swollen this time? Is it from his incessant suckles?
His mind turns into haze and he decides he's not looking for any logical answers.
He simply allows his hips to move on their own accord, matching the face with each suckle.
“Astarion… Gods…”
You're fortunate his mouth is kept busy, or he'd hurl a snarky reply. Gods have no place here. The delicacies of carnal bliss are reserved for those who tread the earth.
He's the only one who'd ever worship you, and you'd worship him right back, because that's how it's meant to be.
Precum drips from his tip at an alarming rate. He's too hard. He's too aroused. His body is seeking to be inside yours.
But he decided against it.
No.
He wants to see you unravel for him and in front of him.
His eyes open once again and he takes in the sight of your body undulating. Skin all flushed and eyes read to drop close as you near the precipice.
As always, his latch is impeccable. He never lets go and takes pride in leaving you dripping for him.
A few droplets run down his chin and dangle from it, bestowing upon him the most enticing silent praise he could ask for.
He knows you're close when your fingers close around his curls, desperately rocking your hips against him.
A low growl of approval rumbles in his chest and he's starting to struggle to keep his pace.
He has to find a way to still his hips before you reach your climax in fear you'll drag him along with you far too soon.
And so he does.
This time, he wants to see it.
He wants to see you as you come for him.
He's mostly perplexed that you found a way to muffle your moans, your shirt rolled up and captured in between your teeth, granting him the privileged view of your heaving breasts and hardened nipples.
Momentarily, his hips threaten to buck driven by pure instinct.
But he manages to hold back.
And when he's sure you're too far gone, head tilting back and legs shaking ever so slightly, does he unlatch from your clit.
He pulls back enough to witness the first sets of contractions course through your body.
Wetness drips from his chin, and he can't tear his gaze from the mesmerising way your entrance clenches rhythmically before him.
He's felt those contractions many times. He is well aware of just how vicious and relentless they can be around his cock, never failing to draw every last drop of his cum deep inside you.
Your muffled cries and the way your hips still momentarily, are all he needs to get lost in his own pleasure again.
He props himself high enough to place his hips at the right angle, rolling them urgently against the soft fabric of the pillow.
He's so close… so deliciously close.
Your taste lingers on his tongue and the vision of you still writhing under him holds his gaze almost painfully.
Your fingers ease on his curls and he feels the familiar tightening of his balls warning him that he's about to reach the point of no return.
It comes and overtakes his body so violently his mind blanks for a brief moment, as his mouth drops open.
He wants to groan and growl and hiss, but no sound comes out.
The friction is so overwhelming, he can't help but to lose balance, his lips finding your swollen clit once again.
And just like before, he latches instinctively and you try to jerk away from him, definitely being hit with a sting of oversensitivity.
He comes undone, suckling on you harder than ever before.
Ropes of cum spill from him rhythmically, his own contractions taking over. He can feel the fabric underneath him drench with each thrust, and he vaguely wonders how much of it he still has left in him.
Your clit is now the only thing grounding him as he rides out his climax and, in the far corner of his hazy mind, he's thankful that you eased into him once again, granting him the solace he is seeking so desperately.
There's only so much he can withstand as his senses are flooded with overwhelming pleasure, and he finds himself unlatching and almost slumping against your lower abdomen.
He's spent.
Utterly spent.
He thinks he hears a tender giggle, but maybe it's simply his mind playing tricks on him.
With effort, he hoists himself along your body, collapsing, the side of his face resting against your stomach.
He wants to say something, but he's rendered silent by the aftershock of his climax.
And that's when he feels your fingers again, raking along his scalp and through unruly curls.
“Are you leaving?”
He says nothing.
Your fingertips work their magic along his skin and he's sure you can lull him into a trance if you so wished.
You're too powerful and he's too in love with you to care.
“Astarion.”
Your voice is low and sweet and he hums in return, arm wrapped around your waist.
“Can we stay like this for a while?”
Who's he to deny you of it? Or himself?
He's sweaty and his cock drenched in cum and precum and you're a mess yourself. Hardly the epitome of romance.
Or maybe he's wrong because when you bring a soft piece of cloth to his temple and drag it along his face, he suddenly gets it.
He finally understands why you want him to stay.
Why it makes sense.
His eyes flutter shut as he basks in your tenderness and adoration.
You hum a soft tune under your breath, cleaning him up.
Face and neck first.
“Can you shift higher?” you ask.
He realises your intentions and lifts his head to stare at you.
“You don't have to.”
All you do is offer him a smile. Your smile. “I want to. Allow me, lover.”
No one has ever taken care of him. No one has ever bothered to. Not until you.
He silently does what you asked, too stunned to come up with a clever tease.
His eyes flutter shut in what comes close to embarrassment. For some reason, he feels more exposed than ever when you wrap the cloth around his cock.
“Tell me if it gets too much,” you say, your voice but a whisper.
He immediately shakes his head. “Not with you.”
A hiss parts his lips as you tenderly take care of him.
Astarion rests his head just above your breast and
“Do you wish to talk?” he asks.
Your lips find their way through his damp curls, placing a kiss atop his head.
“Do you want to?”
He chuckles, feeling his cock soften in your hand – definitely a first. “I fear I'm too drained to do so.”
“Silence it is,” you say and he feels your warm breath against his skin.
Not just any silence.
Comfortable silence.
The rare type old romance books mention in passing and that many seek to no avail.
But he's found it because he's found you.
