#screaming gull meme
I've already made a post about translator's false friends a while ago, but this topic has so much potential that it'd be a crime not to talk about it more.
This is why I've brought you something iconic.
First of all, I want to show you this:
Tumblr media
It's a regular road sign in Czech Republic, but for russian speakers it became a meme many years ago and here's why.
The sign itself says very simple thing:
Tumblr media
But for russian speakers "Pozor! Policie varuje" sounds very close to "Позор! Полиция ворует", which means
Tumblr media
For the past year I've been learning czech language and I saw more cases like this. For example "vonět" in czech means "to smell", but in russian the word sounds like "to stink". "čerstvý chléb" - "fresh bread" in czech, but to russian it sounds like "stale bread".
I'll do another post about slovenian language one day, because funny things happen there too.
But now here's a thing about russian and english.
If you're an english speaker and you hear a baby screaming "die! die! die!" - do not be alert. Most likely they're from russian speaking family and they do not feel murdurous. "Дай!" in russian may sound like wishing someone to die but it's just "give" ("gimme"). So that kid just wants something and is being very loud about it.
Another fun fact: in russian dub of Finding Nemo gulls scream "Дай" (die!) instead of "Mine". Here's the link if you wanna hear it:

Waking up
Cold air on my face, blurry vision turning to a blanket of stars
Secrets on the wind carry at their own pace
They have their stories, and we got ours from pulling a radio flyer through the yard
Bright red knees
Hands scratched up from the trees
Digging to China couldn't be that far
At ease
I wanna feel the breeze until I freeze
I'm not a stranger to the blistering cold
Walking past the tree line getting covered in snow
There's a creek we used to go
The rocks would break the surface of the water
We would use them to tip-toe
Sometimes the ice would freeze over the stream
I would put my foot down and barely lean and when my toe broke through
It was pretty funny how my scream turned into steam
I'm not a stranger, it's just been too long
I've seen the sun rise over the Atlantic Ocean
I've seen the darkness of the Midwest make the stars appear
I've seen the sunset over the Pacific
The gulls and waves magnify and overtake the atmosphere
The Garden of the Gods bathed in red light
I can't explain the science, but something feels right
Beautiful surroundings, but I miss them every night cuz I'm so worried bout my gigabytes
Swipe 2 Unlock
Scroll thru the tick-tock
If its not making me feel validated, it gets dropped
Open up a streaming
Service
Catch up while I fall behind
Give it another episode
Then end up falling asleep on season 9
Til its time to wake up
Every like and comment I regurgitate the same stuff
Keep scrolling til I find a meme that makes me think
I disagree with you politically but I respect your beliefs
Keep scrolling keep scrolling keep scrolling keep scrolling
Keep scrolling keep scrolling keep scrolling keep scrolling
Keep scrolling keep scrolling keep scrollingkeep scrolling
Keep scrolling keep scrolling keep scrolling keep scrolling
Keep scrolling keep scrolling
“Stranger”
by B-nign
Lyrics from a 2019 single.

Flustered
Tumblr media
3501 words | 2nd Person POV
A Yoon Jeonghan fluff, prompt, how you met, how you (hinted) eventually dated, where you're an actress and he's the other lead actor. Enjoy your new years! 🎉
---
Yoon Jeonghan is very rarely flustered. If anything, he's usually the cause of all the flustering - twelve boys can back you up on that. He'd make fun of your height, poke your cheeks, comment cutesy compliments as you work together, flirt playfully, and make fun of how stupid your character sounds.
Indeed, you accepted this role fully aware of the awfully pure and slow-witted character the scriptwriter had written down. Throughout your years in acting, even if this was your very first lead role, you had never gone easy on the rest of the roles you had received. You live and understand them, think like them, and every single character you've performed have now become a part of you. But of course, the closest character to you now is this easily distracted girl who just blushes all the time.
So for the course of eight months, you've acted with all your might, and this is the you that Jeonghan knew. You weren't exactly innocent and slow-witted just like the character, but a bit of the character influenced your own personal traits. The fun to tease, cute, and adorably likable girl. Just like you, it was his first lead role in a drama, and the first one in Seventeen to land on one, too, even if he wasn't the first one to be in one. He had curiously accepted a side role before, right after his military release, and just as the group were exploring their own careers whilst waiting to reunite again as a whole. That side role, with the help of his previous acting lessons, drowned him into the world of acting once more, and he fell in love with the art of the screen more than he ever did before.
Your first impression on him during the first cast meeting was that he looked heavenly. It was like his cheekbones were sculpted to perfection and no one could tell you otherwise. You were incredibly starstruck and in awe that you stuttered in making your first introductions. It didn't help that he was smooth with his words, too, making you sound incredibly nervous as opposed to him.
"Hi, I'm Jeonghan from Seventeen, and I'll be taking the lead role in this drama. Please take care of me."
"Hi, I'm play, uh, playing the lead gull, I mean g-girl."
Had he smiled politely and continued the conversation like nothing had happened, maybe you wouldn't have been too embarrassed, but also maybe you wouldn't have let your guards down to know and befriend him personally. Instead, he had laughed at you with all the stomach power he had. He never lets you forget that you stuttered so badly as you introduced yourself for the first time the entire day. He even made his own reasons (you wouldn't admit them, but they couldn't have been more true) as to why you stuttered.
"Nervous? I'm super charming, aren't I?" his ego is surely out of bounds as he said that, a smirk donning his lips. "I know, I'm surprised at myself, too sometimes."
You hit him on the arm, your cheeks growing in color. "I'm a big fan of Seventeen, but I didn't realize that you're this cheeky."
He laughed, so genuinely and purely, and you smiled, already warmed up to him. He made friends with you quickly, and from all the behind the scenes footage, he was quick to melt his awkward-i-just-met-you exterior and interacted with you as he would with his members. Jeonghan was this tall, built, and handsome man, and he owned unreal facial features that made everyone wonder if he was indeed human just like everyone else. He was perfect for his role: the cold, sly, and dominating lead in the series. It was the complete opposite of your character, and with his friendliness, it was easy for you to quickly build up chemistry and work well with him, but as you two get closer, the more playful he became.
"You're the love of my life," he recited his lines, cheesy as it is, to which you became shy to and shrank as he got closer and closed his lips to yours.
He was quick to tease your blushes after the director's "Cut!" in each kissing scene, and would tease you easily at other romantic or heart fluttering scenes you had to do.
"Aww, that's cute, you're blushing again! I can hear your heart fluttering," he would say. "Then again, I am charming."
And in each time, you were always caught in his trap, stuck in the moment, and your heart follows his lead, ignoring all the other self-restraining signals your head was screaming about. He'd laugh right after he got a reaction out of you, and the grin he'd give you would linger in your head for the rest of the day.
There was another day when one of his members - Joshua - came to support as a cameo, and it felt like Jeonghan was on booster or something. He introduced you to Joshua, who was sweet, polite, and a perfect gentleman, but then Jeonghan continued to tease you the entire day Joshua was there. He made sure to remind Joshua how cute you were so many times throughout the day. At that point you were actually getting used to Jeonghan's antics, but him teasing you in front of a new person puts you on another level of flustered.
"Hey Josh, meet the love of my life," Jeonghan said, using his scripted lines.
Joshua, while he was nicer than Jeonghan, still played along sometimes. "Then I'll call you member-in-law!" He said.
Your birthday was on a filming day, and he managed to fool you to think that you had hurt his feelings by giving him comments on his acting as per usual (you were sure you weren't saying anything bad, but he kept directing it to be a negative one). He started showing acts of distaste and, at one point, even yelled at you and left the room.
It was heart-wrenching to watch him leave - you never wanted to hurt his feelings, you just wanted to help and support him and the drama entirely. Guilt washed over you quickly, and tears piled in your eyes. The crew was looking at you so judgmentally, and all you wanted to do was go home, lock the doors, and hide under your covers. You didn't know what to do, and some of the crew even went to you to convince you that he just needed to blow off steam and he'll be back and you can apologize when he gets back.
You wanted to scream and rip his hair off when he came back with a cake, singing Happy Birthday like nothing happened. Your tears flowed like a river though, because you genuinely thought that Yoon Jeonghan, this man, was actually angry at you to the point that he put it to display to everyone who was present and even yelled at you.
"Don't cry!" he laughed at you, taking the cream from the cake and swiping your cheeks with his finger. "You'll look ugly. We have to take a picture with this cake!"
You cursed at him for the first time since you've known him, but he only chuckled and patted your back to calm down your sniffles (you glared at his finger until he wiped the cream away first, though). He gave you a friendly hug and you hit him to prove the point that you were upset, and it was a loud slap in the back that everyone was surprised but laughed at. Apparently, a behind-the-scenes camera was on and recording the entire surprise; Jeonghan remembered this and went to the camera to tell on you. He complained really loudly, "Carats, she hit me!" he pointed at you playfully.
You were still sniffling, snots everywhere and you eyes still bawling with tears. "Y-you deserve it!" you screamed.
On the last day of filming, you had laughed everything off, remembering everything that happened during the course of filming and engraving every memory to your heart. It was surely an indescribable experience. The crew had been super nice, and they felt like a second family to you. The cast members became your best friends, including the one and only Yoon Jeonghan. You thanked Jeonghan, the rest of the cast, and the entire crew for all their hard work, hugged your co-stars tightly, and told Jeonghan to stay in contact with you even after it all ended because you'd miss him.
"Hey, but don't be a stranger," you told him. "I think I'm too used to having you around, its gonna be hard to live peacefully, now."
He smiled, pinched your cheeks and said, "Did you think I'm gonna stop just because the drama ended? You should've seen me annoy my members even from the military base."
You rolled your eyes at him, "I wouldn't dare to assume you'd do anything less."
And he kept to his word. Though there hadn't been any opportunities for both of you to meet each other again (variety shows and interview promotions were done during the course of filming), he still contacts you day-to-day, even if only to send a meme he found of you and laugh at you through text.
"You really DO look like you've got a frog in your mouth! Hahahaha!"
This went on through the rest of the year until the Award Shows started to busy every single celebrity available, finally announcing the invites, MCs, performances, and nominees to each award they have. Your drama with Jeonghan had hit it big as fans were so happy to watch both of you interact (also, maybe because Woozi sang the main OST, and Scoups' rap on the OST was fire), and you were invited to almost every single one of them as a nominee for multiple awards.
It was first assumed, then implied, but it was also because he was actually sweet enough to ask you personally, that you were officially his date to every one of the award shows your drama was nominated in. You agreed, not because he was your co-star, but because he was a genuinely nice and fun person to spend time with. You were also very excited, not just because you were nominated, but also because this time you were going to finally present your original and true self to Yoon Jeonghan and the world. The other characters within you screamed in delight as you excitement rose, and you had planned everything out, determined to show that you are not just a simple easily teased girl that Yoon Jeonghan bullies on.
On the very first show you wore a white gown - the top part was gold glitter with a heart neckline, and it corseted your figure, highlighting all the important curves in your body. Down your dress, the fabric flowed in an A-line skirt, transparency growing in a gradient as it reached the bottom, your strapped golden heels visible within your skirt. You put your half your hair into a braid and curled the rest. With curtain-like gold earrings and white diamonds shining out of the strands, Jeonghan was stunned when he saw you for the first time. Your make up was different from what he was used to, and a mature-like pureness aura radiates from you. He didn't know what to say, muted to say the least. He had never seen you like that, and once both of you reached the red carpet, his hand on your back as a gentlemanly support to guide you through the reporters, he noticed how straight you walked, and how you carried yourself so gracefully. The reporters were asking questions, but he left the answering to you as he continued to stay stunned through the red carpet. It was only when you both had finally taken your seats when he finally relaxed and converse normally again.
The minimum movements you emitted, just enough to be polite and to please your audience were not missed by the man, and he observed the details of your interactions to the utmost adoration. Your gracefulness had struck a chord in his heart and he was awed to say the least.
He ended the night with a shy smile and an "Oh, and by the way, you were absolutely beautiful tonight." The sincerity of his tone didn't go unnoticed and you didn't forget to thank him before going separate ways. It was oddly out of character of him to do, but you liked the new side of him you have yet to explore.
The next show, you opted for a bright red designer's gown. This one, fitting to its price tag, created this absolutely stunning silhouette, and while it did not sparkle or glitter, its muted red still create a distinction of you and made you shine. The designed folds in your dress accented your figure even more, and with a looser fabric, the skirt of your dress was made longer so it could trail behind you as you walk. Your hair was gathered up into one straight ponytail, a pretty simple hairdo to gather attention to your striking gown for the night.
Jeonghan didn't recognize you when he first was led to your changing room. You didn't just look like a different person, you feel like one, too. He didn't even realize that he held his breath as he looked at you. The stylist were so proud of their efforts and Jeonghan's reaction had them giggling and teasing him. "She's incredibly beautiful, isn't she?"
He barely managed a "yes" before you could chuckle and said to him, "Well look who's being shy, now."
At this, he returned a laughter of his own. He didn't bother hiding his surprised expression. "You got me. You look incredible."
Your outfit and style of the day, added with your elegance and poise as you conducted yourself in front of the reporters and other celebrities had Jeonghan staring at you for a while, and quite numerous whiles. He absolutely adored you. There was a surging feeling of wholesome pride as he stood beside you, his hand on your back as he escorted you through the venue. Even as he teased you as he answered the reporters' questions, you had retained your poise as you held it within yourself not to be flustered easily by this man. You had a year worth of practice for that.
"Isn't she beautiful? I'm such a fan of hers," Jeonghan whispered to the reporters, his playful grins and chuckles evident as he interacted happily. "She doesn't look like her character now, does she?"
You chuckled along with him, but dragged him to stop him from acting like a fan on the red carpet. He laughed and after a few tries of refusing your urges to move on, eventually let it go and allowed you to pull him forwards. As you moved on, he placed his hand on your back just like how he usually does, as a sign that he was right there walking with you.
The third time though, Jeonghan was speechless. He barely spoke through the course of the night, and his eyes never left you.
You wore a black designer's gown this time, with sequinned patterned Qs coming from your neck down to your knees before the skirt spreads out to hide your silver heels. It was a mermaid gown and it hugged your figure nicely. The skirt was actually more flowy that you thought, but it added a nice touch. You wore silver earrings and diamond hair pieces as you put your hair up in the most elegant updo Jeonghan had ever seen. He was already stunned when he saw you for the first time, but he almost choked when you turned around only for him to realize that your gown was completely backless.
Now, where is he supposed to place his hand again?
His face was flushed and when you turned to finally go out the door, you see his face filled with more red than you've ever seen. While his face was kind of salvaged by the foundation he used, the makeup couldn't help his neck from turning red as well.
"Yoon Jeonghan, are you sick?" you asked aloud, gaining the attention of all staff members present, all their eyes pointed at the man in question. "Or are you actually blushing?"
Your second question snapped him out of his haze (and had many of the stylists and make up artists giggling) as he looked at you for a few seconds, and you were starting to actually worry, before he eventually puts his hand on his forehead, covering his face.
"God, you'll be the death of me. Let's go before I embarrass myself any further."
He was indeed blushing, and his statement confirmed that for you. You laughed, but you can't help but feel you cheeks tinting a little pink from his confession. He linked your arm with his and went out together.
The first few minutes into the red carpet, Jeonghan did his best not to have direct contact with your back. He was blushing the entire time, had to ask the interviewers to repeat themselves a couple of times, and his hand was going to unsure places like your shoulder or your waist, which he was also not confident about, and eventually just lingers a few inches away from your back, like in mid-air. The so-called manner hands.
It wasn't as reassuring as having his hand on your back like the previous times you both had gone through this. His focus was also off as he tried to avoid the contact, and just moved his hand when you moved as well. You sighed and just pulled his hand to slightly slap your back, and you pointed a look at Jeonghan's direction, telling him to stop fidgeting through your eyes.
He blushed.
"Jeonghan, are you not feeling well?" one of the reporters asked.
He seemed to click then and there. His honest self couldn't help himself as he answered, "Oh yeah, she just looks gorgeous tonight, I can't take my eyes off of her."
When he finally comprehended his own words, he fumbled and stuttered. "I-I mean," he tried to reason, but the stars in the reporters' eyes were showing that they heard everything he said, and some of them squealed in delight.
"Why, thank you," you turned to face him, your smile directed for him.
He was stunned - again.
"Oh, let's just go," he said shyly, one of his hands reaching to his neck to feel just how warm he had gotten.
That night, both of you had received a daesang award, but Jeonghan kind of added a few more elements to his acceptance speech.
"Hi, this is Seventeen's Jeonghan. This acting experience was truly incredible and there's so many people who should know that they are the reason for this award. I want to thank Carats, who have always been there for me through thick and thin, and my members who have been watching and supporting me, especially to Joshua who became a cameo, my parents and my family members who had been with me from the very start, the staff members, Pledis, directors, pd-nim, and all the crew members. This is not possible without any of you. And special thanks to," Jeonghan moved his eyes on you, and he didn't know why then and there, your name disappeared from his head and instead replaced with that one line that had caught all the viewers' heart as they watched the drama.
"The love of my life - " he stopped when he realized what he just said, and realized he had kind of just confessed on national TV. "I mean, M-my co-star."
You stood there surprised at how flustered Yoon Jeonghan could be, and stunned that you were the main reason that he was fumbling on the stage and his ears redder than ever. He caught himself before he did anything else and finished his speech nicely.
"Anyways, uh, thank you for this award, I'll work even harder to be a better actor and come back with more for you all. Thankyou!"
It was your turn after him to deliver your speech, and suddenly the trophy on your hands became heavier than it actually was. Jeonghan turned his back to walk back to the spot beside you as you move forward, and you can see a small smile tugging the corners of his lips. When you were brushing against each other before you took the mic, he whispered, just loud for you to hear, and short enough to go unnoticed.
"Yes, that was my confession to you. Will you go out with me?"
All eyes were on you and all lights were on you when you felt like you bit your tongue and couldn't speak.
The MCs were waiting for your speech, and nudged you to start when you seem lost.
"Ah, yes, I mean, no, I mean yes!"
Yoon Jeonghan really knows how to fluster you, even in his most flustering moments.

Tumblr media
for @fabletold​ / MEME / NOT ACCEPTING
Tumblr media
The Princess of Wihtwara forsakes the palace in favour of the beaches of her island home. Out here, where the waves kiss the sand, she finds a kind of peace that is never possible at court. Her horse is tied to a tree a little ways off, patiently nibbling on a the scrubby, determined grasses growing against the perpetual winds. The air whips around, stealing thought and breath from her like a lover. Overhead, gulls circle and scream. The sound is barely audible over the rush of water and the wind. If she looks out, she can almost see the Saxon kingdom, the land of Alfred. And beyond that, she knows, is the land taken by Danes.
Henri finds her in her silent thoughts. He moves across the sand dunes with surprising ease for a foreigner. He is almost upon her when she becomes aware of his presence. Her guard might have disliked such a meeting, her brother detested it. But it is only for their own ignorance and naivety that she is forced to keep secrets from them. It is for their own good they remain oblivious to what lies between the Princess and the newcomer at court.
“Earl de Rais, forgive me. You surprised me.” She doesn’t raise her voice above the wind. She doesn’t need to, as he closes the gap between them.
“Lady Elfriede, you do not like the horse I bought for you?”
She looks up into those blue eyes, hard like flint and full of something unspeakable. Her own horse is an old, dependable mare. The horse bought to the Royal stables, gifted by the Earl, is a brilliant and spirited gelding. She knows better than to slight the gift from such a powerful ally.
“Far from it, my Lord. I brought Nesta out here for the last time. She is getting old, and she has been my faithful companion on trips to this part of the island. I shouldn’t like to bid farewell to her without one last ride out.”
She looks up at the Earl from under her lashes. In truth, the horse that Henri gifted her is larger than she is used to, and frightens the stable-hands. She suspects that Henri knew that before gifting her such a beautiful, dangerous animal. He nods, appeased for now. A gull swoops low and then soars again, joining its crying fellows. It is a wild part of the island here, and mostly secluded. She is grateful for the privacy. There are women at court, desperate for position and wealth, with nothing in their heads but straw, who look on Henri with an eye to climbing the ladder. If they won such a man, they would not know what to do with him. Elfriede knows. She invited him here, after all.
“I am glad you’ve come, Henri.” She drops her voice to the conspiratorial tones of a lover. “It is easier to speak freely outside the palace.”
“It is colder, too,” he says, chiding her. She feels the bite of the wind at her nose, and nods. He is allowed to challenge her on that, small and meaningless as it is. There are greater things she needs from him than his opinion on the weather. He unclasps his cloak in a graceful movement, and wraps it around her shoulders. She feels, for a moment, like a small girl again, covered in her father’s furs, coddled and adored.
“Have you thought on our conversation?”
She bites her lower lip, catches it for a moment with a sharp tooth. She is sure he must be performing too. No man would stand in the sea breeze without a cloak for something as petty as attraction. Still, he is the closest she has come to finding an equal, one who understands the turning of the wheel in the shadows of power. And if she must turn him a little, to achieve her ends, she is sure he would understand in the end. He would do the same.
“I will keep you,” he nods, serious as death. He steps closer, and despite the warmth of his cloak, Elfriede suppresses a shiver. “And I will keep you warm.” He breaks into a smile that reminds her so much of a wolf, and she leans in to him. If he will be the wolf, she will be worse. And under his banner and protection, they will work such brilliant things.

gulls have this behavior aptly called "choking" where it looks like they're choking or throwing shit up, but really they just moving their head back and forth really fast while pointing it at the ground. it's some kinda pair bonding behavior, like look! this is a neat nesting area, or they use to tell other pair of gulls to fuck off, but i guess it's mostly done just to bond with their partner. like "hello partner! time to pretend to puke"
herring gulls are called herring gulls because that's their fave kinda fish. i wish i was named after my fave food. like "spaghetti human" or "goldfish human" or "ohh hot spicy ohh hot hot spicy mm spicy hot human". new ask meme: if you were a gull, what favorite food would you be named after
omg I refresh and there’s more ahdhgjks you’re in research mode big time. Seagulls are really just weird fucking birds aren’t they? All this choking and stamping and the screaming.
and uhhh is this a test like right now happening? Idk maybe uhhh coffee human probably. Oh food though? Curry human? Tiny pretzels human. . . . .
YOU'RE SO RIGHT poofing up feathers is SO GOOd
It IS good it’s top tier

Rules: It’s time to love yourself. Choose your 5 favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you’ve brought into the world. Tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works!
I was tagged by @pterawaters ! Most of these are fanfic (which, wow I wrote several fanfic this year alone 🤯) but one of them is a quick blog post because why not?
1. It's a Guessing Game (aka the stoncy band au), fanfic, Stranger Things, Steve/Nancy/Jonathan (stoncy)
So let's start with this one since it's my latest posted fanfic and my most popular one. Which, wow, what a welcome surprise ❤️. Fun fact, "the stoncy band au" was supposed to be a temporary name that I only used for my google doc. But I grew attached to it even after I figured out (and loved) the "real" fanfic title so I tacked it on to the end. This one was fun to write because I got to include all sorts of generalized fandom jokes and memes. I also included written out scenes (even though that & the articles were where my hypercritical self editor screamed at me the most lol) because even when I enjoy fanfic written via social media or texts, I'm always a bit hungry for some prose to go along with it. Figuring out how to represent twitter and instagram through text was super fun though. And I think I sort of predicted the November 5th tumblr chaos when I included the username "dashcon2020" in the fic 😜 Oh! And the thirst tweets! I love that series on Buzzfeed and I knew right away I wanted that to be part of the fic. I got as dirty as I could which means that tweets I did come up with were tame in comparison to actual thirst tweets I've seen. Whoops.
2. And After...?, fanfic, Once Upon a Time, Alice/Robin (CuriousArcher)
The reason I kept watching season 7! I have mixed feelings about Once Upon a Time but these two were highlights of the show. They only got less than a season but they were gold. This one took half a year to write (I'm a slow writer and super critical of what I do write) but I love it. The title is perfect (which is a Thing because I hate 99% of my story titles) and the end scene where Alice & Robin snuggle up in bed together and totes in love? So proud of that dialogue.
3. Sharing is Caring, fanfic, Stranger Things, platonic Robin & Steve
This was for comfortween even though I only ended up writing two fics for that challenge. Steve & Robin friendship fics were my intro to Stranger Things fanfic (and stoncy lol). My favorite part was adding anecdotes about Steve's neglectful parents. It's a short fic and maybe if I actually watched The Apartment instead of relying on Wikipedia & reviews, I could have really fleshed out the fic. But I think I got what I wanted out of the fic: Robin & Steve being besties & caring about each other. Also, if Steve & Robin having movie nights isn't canon in season 4, I will riot.
4. Treating a Sunburn, fanfic, Haven, Nathan/Audrey/Duke (Three Gulls)
My first Haven fanfic! I haven't written any Haven fanfic before (but when I was really into the show, I had tons of ideas). I did however, read most of the fanfic in the Nathan/Audrey/Duke tag. It's not an OT3 I was into when the show was airing but one day I thought, what if the love triangle was an OT3 & then I found a treasure trove of fics. Also Nathan & Duke touch each other a lot despite arguing & threatening to kill each other a lot. Which is partly what this short fic focuses on? Duke gets really close to Nathan's face & Nathan is only a little confused by it? I tried play up that bit but I feel like it got lost in rest of the fic. But anyways, I got to write fic for an OT3 I love & it didn't turn out too bad.
5. My shitpost/meta about Batwoman, the TV series
Okay so it was toss up between this post and a different shitpost I made about the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover. But that post implied Kate Kane would play an active role in the future arrowverse and now she won't which makes me sad. But this is my humor in a nutshell. And if the writers didn't intend to make that parallel, I'll be shocked because it works so well. Especially since Batwoman's crossover episode only got to use two characters from their show.
And now to tag!

What are the mods favorite nsfw fics? 👀👀
Cas:
Home is You -rosegardenlake @whoalookingcooljoker
2k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content
Beneath the stars, in their little shack out in the middle of the desert, Keith and Shiro finally have the time to slow down together.
Like Crystal Guts -Glossolalia @fenri
14k.(Explicit) Contains: nsfw content
Keith uses an app in order to find sugar daddies, but when one of his patrons sticks out, he finds himself negotiating with the idea that ‘falling in love isn’t always selling out.’
Too Much, Gone Too Fast -purpleweekend @blushweddingowns
19k.(Explicit) Contains: nsfw content
The entire length of Keith and Shiro’s relationship before Kerberos. Alternative, how many sex scenes “ can I fit in 19k words.
Cym:
Amaranthine - midnightflame @bymidnightflame
35k. (Explicit) Contains: NSFW content
Keith had watched him fall. One moment standing there, then knees had hit the dirt and the rest of Shiro’s body had followed. One moment was all it took for the world to run black, then fire up red as blood across the earth. Just when grief sinks its claws into him, morning breaks with scenes Keith knows because he has already lived them, knows that in just a few hours his entire world will end once more.
Shiro had watched him fall. One moment standing there, and on the next, Keith’s body had dropped to the ground, heavy and silent. One moment for the panic to start snarling in its cage and set the world buzzing with static in his ears. And just when the grief sinks in, morning breaks with scenes Shiro knows far too well because he has walked every step of them, and he knows that in another day the best part of his world will end once more.
It happens again and again, their world recycling itself as one end is traded for another. That is until the inevitable reality of their circumstances brings Shiro and Keith to a standstill, leaving them with a choice hinging on their faith in the universe.
bring it home to you baby - tagteamme @phaltu
64k. (Explicit) Contains: NSFW content
By accident, Shiro runs into Keith, and opens up his wallet.
(And his heart.)
Shiro the Hero and the Hungry Chain - Saasan @decidedlysarah
36k. (Explicit) Contains: NSFW content, A/B/O dynamics
Keith never cared that he was an Omega. Sure, his heats were hella long and stupidly frequent and his body rejected synthetic suppressants so his parents had to pay for injections that had horrible side effects but, that’s just life, right? Okay, so being an Omega sucked a bit, but it had never *mattered* until he moved from his Podunk hometown to the proverbial Big City, where everyone puts you into a category whether you belong there or not. And now? Now his body is rejecting even the non-synthetic suppressants, and it turns out the culprit is an awkwardly hot and insanely nice donor, Takashi Shirogane, who it looks he’ll have no choice but to spend some “quality time” with or face a medically necessary drop out from college. Just great.
Monx:
Stereotypical -Tay (erentitanjaeger) @kinkykeithy
6k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content, abo dynamics
Shiro is beginning to understand, as much as Keith is afraid to be a stereotypical alpha, Shiro is much more of a stereotypical omega. He took one look at Keith, at his lithe form, bright eyes, pale skin, at those overly delicate features, and just assumed someone so frail looking could never hold the stamina and strength it would take to present as an alpha. Which, Shiro realises now, was dumb of him to think considering he doesn’t exactly scream omega himself. “I just thought…I mean you…” Shiro can’t seem to string more than three words together. All his conscious mind can think is mate and now. Mate now. Those two words repeating themselves again and again, now that he knows beyond instinct that Keith could be the one to help him through his heat.
High on Believing -Bosstoaster Smut (ChaoticReactions) @bosstoaster
6k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content, abo dynamics
A good alpha is someone who takes care of their omega.
A good alpha knows what makes their mate feel safe and comfortable.
A good alpha maybe read up on bower building and how to make a nest for a cranky omega who’s currently ignoring his heat in favor of more training.
Keith… sort of skipped that part of his education.
(A kink meme fill that ended up light on the kink and heavy on the fluff)
Turnabout -his_valentine @his-valentine
3k.(Explicit) Contains: nsfw content
Shiro wants to open up to Keith.
Gull:
you know what you’re here for - starboykeith @starboykeith
7k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content
Keith never thought his year-long crush on Takashi Shirogane would end in friends with benefits, but he’ll take Shiro any way he can have him.
It’s not the fairytale beginning Keith had imagined for them, but maybe there’s a slim chance for a happy ending.
K-O - hibiscus_tea @vers-shiro
4k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content, implied drug use
They hook up at a Halloween party.
Centerfold - olddarkmachine @theolddarkmachine
11k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content
Normally, Keith wouldn’t give anyone the time of day if they were the kind of person that would pick up hitchhikers. He knew about stranger danger, thank you very much, and he knew that those kind of people were predisposed to being serial killers.
But today didn’t seem to be normal, and for once, the universe seemed to be apologizing for all its wrongs. Even if he ended up being murdered, he would probably still need to thank someone, because leaning over the center console and fixing him with a silver gaze, was an all too familiar face. One that Keith had committed to memory if only because he was certain that was exactly what the dictionary meant by the word ‘perfect.’
One, that Keith had just jacked off to that morning. Twice.
Akira:
complacent -tagteamme @phaltu
18k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content
Keith sees the agitation in the way Shiro holds himself. He sees how Shiro’s rigid, more reserved, how his anger flares a little more than normal and the sharp edge to his orders. Keith’s pretty sure that if he looks in the mirror, he’ll see some of the same irritation reflected back.
They both need to cut loose. Keith just needs to find a way.
come undone now -starboykeith @starboykeith
3k.(Explicit) Contains: nsfw content
Keith knows what it does to Shiro when he lets sir slip - because he has an unfortunate habit of promptly saying, “Yes, sir,” when Shiro gives him an order, whether they’re being intimate or not - but today he was doing it on purpose.
And cadets who misbehave get punished.
Fluid Dynamics -paintstroke
4k.(Explicit) Contains: nsfw content
It had been easy to agree to. Shiro had won their match, and it was a simple wager. He got to pick something he wanted. And if it sounded good to Keith too, well, that was a pleasant coincidence…
“The One with the Bubble Bath”.

None in particular.

Amortentia how many blood mages ya gonna have 2 smell varr
amortentia // meme cache 
earth  (( heavily wooded, mulled, fresh and ever-changing, still somewhat metallic as the blood that courses through her is the same that helps the earth grow the flowers, the same blood in his veins, the tears from their families eyes, the plots in which their kin lay, the orphans they have both become. it changes from dark to light, damp to dry, cracking and flaking away if it’s too much )) // copper (( flesh and blood, falling thick in waves, pouring as salt slicks his own skin. there is that metallic taste on his tongue as she screams --- as metal comes to clash and blood pours over the cobblestone. she’s pale, she’s so pale and frail. he carries her out of kirkwall )) // the sea (( salt and brine hit the rocks, the decay of a log, a gull in the distance, mists hang low in the air, she’s still pale, but she’s less. blanket pulled over her long legs as the mist settles on his face, dew collecting on an untrimmed beard. gaunt, so gaunt. she says his name, he’s there, tears masked )) // vanilla (( bakery, a cookie --- something sweet, simpler times before ruin sunk in. a dash of cream and it’s frosting, sometimes a pastry shoved into her mouth, knicked off a cart as the owner looked the other way )) // freshly washed hair (( clean and powdered, with lye and mint --- stuck to the skin and hair, like they dressed her when she drove the Qun from their lands, like when they settled in that river after leaving Kirkwall, like she was when she pressed a kiss to his cheek for the last time, telling him never to worry. it’s buried in a bag somewhere, when he needs to think of how strong she is ))

So I wondered the other day if Phobos made faces as he played guitar. Something Ive noticed in a few other guitar players. Today I have seen three of him mouth wide open. One that vaguely makes me think of that screaming sea gull meme.

for @hatilead​ / MEME / NOT ACCEPTING
Tumblr media
The arrival back to England feels anticlimactic at best. They were directed to make port in Portsmouth, still unfamiliar to her and yet too close to London for her taste. Although Portsmouth is a Navy town, full of sailors stuck on land, she would rather stay here, near the sea, than go into town. In London, she would have to face the consequences of her actions. Her brother and his wife would be in the townhouse, waiting for her with judgement. She wonders what threats they would make against her, and though she dreads it, she feels detached from it. 
What could they say that would compare to the peril of a French warship? She could still imagine the weight of Jack’s pistol in her hand, the sound of canon fire over her head louder than thunder. Perhaps the habit of sailors to behave wildly on shore was an effect of the things they faced at sea. She could understand a man’s desire to run headlong into life, returning from a battle with the French as bloody as they had seen with the Acheron.
Her desire to remain and philosophise would not be practical. The screams of gulls wheeling overhead disallow her from such a thing, even if the Navy would let a lone woman hide on one of their ships. Emerging on the deck, the bright sunlight warms her skin but does nothing to stop the chill creeping up her back. The crew have already made their way to the dock, dispersing out to find their own entertainment. Looking out, she can’t see the familiar mane of blonde hair she has become so used to searching out. 
Jack’s hand at her elbow surprises her. He isn’t the quietest man, and she suddenly realises how deep she had been lost in thoughts. Pink tinges her ears and cheeks, and she ducks her head. 
“Will you say goodbye?”
His tone is half-agony, half-hope. She can hear it in the studied gentleness, feel it radiating off him. And she feels like a little girl again, looking at Richard and his new friend throwing back drinks and laughing together. Even then, Jack had exuded a warmth that she wanted to cling to. She almost throws herself against him, knowing the peppery scent she associates with him would fill her senses as she nuzzled against him. 
But she is not a girl, nor a mewling kitten. She is a grown woman, and she will not debase herself.
“I suppose I ought to, if we are parting.”
He could deny her his leave to part, beg her to stay. But if she will not do so, why should he? She pulls her mouth into the closest estimation of a smile she can manage. 
“I hear the journey to London is half a day.” It’s bland, meaningless. After all they have experienced, it feels wrong to discuss her travel plans. Besides, she doesn’t want to return to London, to the scandal and the society. She wants to stay in the Sun, with the one man she knows will not ask her to be anything but herself. She squares her shoulders and meets his gaze properly, delicately laying her hand on his for the briefest moment. 
“I may stay on in Portsmouth overnight, and take the coach to London in daylight. So we shall not say goodbye just yet.”
