@theimpalpable sent in: Caradoc attempts to not be as loud as usual; he doesn't want to upset Lamon on his birthday by being too dramatically noisy. So he casually steps inside with Lexine by his side, both of them carrying different items. Caradoc is holding two gift bags, one from himself and another from Lexine; both destined to land on Lamon's hands. In the smallest bag, Lamon'll be able to find a box that contains a cat flower pot, along with a botanical-themed stationery set that perhaps could be useful for his classes. Upon the biggest bag, rests a succulent throw pillow and a plant plushie, these last two being Caradoc's idea.

"Happy Birthday, Lam!" Caradoc says with excitement, grinning from ear to ear. "Look what Lex made for you, ain't they cool?!" His chin tries to point at what Lexine is holding, which is a tray of succulent cupcakes. Worry not! She tried her best to make sure the ingredients were lactose-free. The girl smiles, shoulders gently lifting so the cupcakes can be seen better. "Happy Birthday, Lam."

(HELLO I come here to celebrate Lam's birthday IHWEDHWD, hope this is okay, dear Ferre!!! If not pls feel free to skip! Hope you're doing well, CARE YOU LOTS)

His birthday is, unshockingly, no different from a regular day off, sans the grading and lesson planning that always has an urgent deadline. Not that he minds it- it is rather peaceful and while he is, in all technicalities, alone for the day, he doesn’t necessarily feel lonely. It was his decision not to go home for the holidays. To be with his family mainly because his parents were taking a vacation to Europe alone. And his sister, well, apparently she has a boyfriend from France and he’s invited her to spend the holidays with his family. He didn’t want to third wheel either couple.

( He’s done that one too many times, if he’s honest. )

Henceforth why he spent December 25th in the diner with Ray, who strangely enough also decided he wasn’t going back to Singapore for the holidays. He should’ve known that Ray would have made an OCCASION out of it. And gotten their friends in on it too.

“How did you-“ A pointed ( but still half-hearted ) look on his face towards Ray behind the counter. “You told them, didn’t you?”

Ray shrugs, as if Lam were asking him about, say, the weather. “They’re our friends- of course they’ll wanna celebrate. Besides, you sure you want me in charge of making you a cake?”

Touché, although Lam doesn’t say that outright. He imagines that Lexine probably persuaded Ray to let her take care of providing the food. Between the two of them, she is the baker, after all. And the one with common sense too- no one wants a stomachache on their birthday anyways.

“What are you two- you didn’t have to do this much.” Getting a set of cupcakes is one thing, it’s another to get such a collection of gifts ( if he wants to take the succulent pillow out and hug it for the rest of his stay here, he won’t say ). Licking the icing off of one cupcake though- it feels a bit like a crime to do so- he glances over at Doc, who is being weirdly considerate…it’s nice, but also-

“Just say something. Please” He blurts out suddenly. It’s too weird, Doc not talking and well, being loud next to Ray. “You don’t- it’s weird when you’re quiet.”

The heat rushes to his face as the urge to hide his face suddenly grows. That’s just the kind of people they are, aren’t they? The kind to celebrate even the smallest of occasions, like HIS BIRTHDAY. “…Thanks. For celebrating.”

@theimpalpable sent in: "anything to eat around here?" (Doc to Lam IUWHDUEWHD) || don't give any ideas doc ( ft. 400 random dialogue prompts meme )

A scowl. The blood rushes to his head for a hot ( long ) second as he resists the urge to smack Doc upside on the head. He doesn't though, seeing that a. violence does not solve any problems ( unfortunately ), b. Doc doesn't seem fond of any sort of touch and c. Lam's more than used to such a spike of EXASPERATION. He closes his eyes for a long second, breathing in and then out as his therapist taught him. Name the emotion and then let it pass, like a leaf floating down a river.

Or at least that was the fancy nature metaphor his therapist described to him. He hadn't been listening too hard at that moment.

Nevertheless, it doesn't change the fact that Doc is poking the sleeping bear aka the man in the back of the diner, not so busy with customer orders. Thankfully, those all are coming from the diner's official menu...diner foods like hamburgers, milkshakes, fries, waffles, and so forth: foods that make sense. Lam, however, knows that when Doc asks for something to eat, he's never referring to that menu, no, he's asking for the daily special on the diner's unspoken menu.

The better time for it is Ray's DEMON SPAWN creations.

Which, if out in open to be tasted, means Lamon has to take a bite out of as well.

He wonders if Caradoc is some kind of masochist. ( Although one might argue that Lam's the real masochist of them all. )

"Don't say that," He hisses, attention torn from his lesson planning. Not that he gets much done in the diner anyways. "Are you looking for another stomachache- I thought you got one from the last one! And you don't you dare say that you didn't-" Because he got one and then had to puke it out in the single-stall bathroom! Lam ended up looking at the worn down poster of Elvis Presley for at least a good thirty minutes. "If he brings out the another jar of his pickled kool-aid squid, you're on your own. I'll be hiding in the bathroom."

@theimpalpable​ | ‘don’t turn away from it this time.’ (anOTHER WILD CARD but from this blog, sorry for all the asks ILY) STRANGER THINGS SENTENCE MEME

---

Life brings with itself a lot of oddities, and Ajay has seemingly only begun truly experiencing the extent of that statement in recent year. Or, that’s what he thinks at least, periodically, every few months or so. With each new face he encounters, after all, he seems to expose himself to new surprises, mannerisms, priorities.

And that’s... not too bad of a reality, really. As long as unprecedented encounters stick to being certain degrees of harmless, why shouldn’t he find reason to enjoy what he isn’t used to? Didn’t he break away from the order to finally get to know the world as it really is, beyond the ridiculous limitations he’d so fruitlessly attempted to apply to it, just because it’d been easier to do so, and incorporate someone else’s ideas, then admit to himself what truths he’d destroyed?

Yes. He did. And as long as nothing sharp is being held to his throat, he won’t mind standing there, arms crossed over his chest and a plain shirt that is new for the sole reason that his last one had been ripped apart by a hunter’s shotgun. That had been... something heal. Which might actually be another reason why he’s really enjoying this mellow time, in contrast to being ripped apart that morning.

So yes. He’s having a good time.

The only thing is... He’d be having an even better time if he actually had any idea what was happening.

He doesn’t really mind the American kid he’s stumbled into - a journalist, right? Something along those lines - no, there’s something about his demeanour that reminds him of youth, not innocent, no, but mature in his optimism. Or maybe he’s just trying to make him sound friendly to justify the past twenty minutes.

“... Okay, I really don’t know what you want me to do.” He admits easily enough - should have done so earlier actually - with a little shrug, a gesture somewhere between ‘I tried’ and ‘don’t know what to tell you’, as he looks over the edge of the device held by the gloved fingers raised in front of his face, and directly into Caradoc’s features. “Is it... Is this one of those trends I don’t get.”

Rafe didn’t work well with others.

It was a pretty common fact in the photography world, as well as the print world where he was from. But his nomadic nature caused him to stumble into this city in search of new opportunities and chances. Having no success in booking appointments, Rafe was forced to be hired out by this newspaper to assist one of their writers and to, of course take pictures.

He was just thrilled.

Rafe stood as he was gestured into the office, now standing opposite the writer he was going to be working with for the time being. Rafe managed a smile and offered a hand, being polite despite his unease and irritation at having to be around so many people.

“Rafael Tatum, but I just go by Rafe. Rafe works great.”

THEIMPALPABLE‌:

 A SOFT SIGH falls from tender lips; gentle smile managing to form at his story of how he believes time doesn’t exist whilst being at his work. She surely can’t tell him how to live his life, but she thinks it’d be nice if he could get a PAUSE and the sleep he needs for a change. Lexine feels that one of these days, she’s gonna find him passed out, outside his apartment’s door.

 “Well, honestly, I think it’s great you…enjoy your job so much, you d-don’t, even take time into account b-but———” Suddenly, the doorbell rings, and she can’t help but jump slightly in surprise. She’s not expecting anyone, unless…

 BUZZ-BUZZ-BUZZ———BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!

 Three short buzzes and a long one. She knows who that is. Fingers of her hands stretch and bend as she stands up; small chuckle adorning her mouth. “So-Sorry, I’m gonna—-just a second.” She points toward the door, before politely disappearing from sight.

  From afar, there’s the sound of a door creaking and opening, and then, an EFFUSIVE tone chimes in; led by the plopping of items near the entrance.

  “YOOOOO, Lexy-Lex! How’s it goin’? Sorry for not texting you that I was gonna pop in for a sec, but like, it was improvised, ja feel? I was ‘round the neighborhood and was like ‘I wonder how my BFF Lex’s doing’ and now I’m here!” Cue the sound of a door closing, followed by quick steps that can’t be really stopped, heading into the living room. “AW, GEEZ, YOU GOT SOME MUFFINS UP IN HERE? YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS——” But then, as this newcomer tries to reach out, he notices there’s someone else in the room.

 “Oh, my bad—–pops taught me better than that—sorry, dude, I get too excited sometimes.” Caradoc talks to Drew as if he knows him, even though he really doesn’t. “Oh, uh…did I interrupt somethin’ Lex? Aw, man…”

  “No, we were just chatting. Right, Drew?” Lexine chimes in, chuckling. She knows this is the way Caradoc is. Always stumbling; getting around everywhere due to his outgoing behavior. “Drew, this is Caradoc, my best friend. We’ve been…best friends ever since I can remember.”

  Caradoc extends a gloved hand Drew’s way; a big, goofy grin upon his face. “’Sup Drew! I’m Caradoc. You can totes call me Doc, if you wanna. Or, like, anything else, really.”

𝐇𝐄 𝐊𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐒𝐀𝐘 , and s soft smile pulls at the corner of his lips, head falling forwards gently. It’s the same thing that Mrs. Talbot has told him: you need to rest, you need to sleep. You’re not some kind of  superman, young man!  He could hear her in his mind and the smile on his lips grows. Drew knows that both his neighbor and Lex want the best for him and that includes a better lifestyle, at least when it comes to sleeping.

    ❛ I know, I know… It’s just that, I - ❜ the sound of the doorbell rings in his head too, completely snatching the words out of his mind and his lips. The musician gives a nod and a smile, quite curious though. In the meantime, he reaches out for another muffin happily -quite like a child with a new toy- and chills back giving it a bite.

The sound of a new and unfamiliar voice comes in, triggering colors in his mind so wild with its ups and downs, lines and shapes, so ENTERTAINING. However he doesn’t expect the man to come rushing in and he struggles standing, nearly chocking, shaking his head and clearing his throat.

   ❛ NO, no, we were just chatting indeed. ❜ Drew smiles big looking up at Caradoc and listening to Lex. It was exciting getting to know her friends too, like a little bit more about her by extension of other people. Taking his hand in his, Drew gives it a firm shake.  ❛  Nice to meet you Doc! Well, I’m Drew as Lex said ❜ A chuckle  ❛ It’s just Drew, some people think it’s because I’m an Andrew, but nope. Drew as in Drew Barrymore. ❜ he laughs more then

      ❛ I saw you were going to take a muffin before well, the introduction. Take oooone or two… or three. I was telling Lex she’ll make me gain weight with such delicacies! ❜

@theimpalpable didn’t ask for this but, oh well--

“Look, I don’t have time to explain so I’m just going to prove my point!”

Chris didn’t miss a beat. In half a second he had already crossed the distance between him and the one person he had just decided would be his new friend, none other than Caradoc Collins.

But this action was more than just a simple way to close the distance; it was also an invasion of Doc’s personal space, along with the swift attack of someone who had been trained to fight since birth, flying through the air and reaching out for the older mutant’s neck, the only exposed skin he could find.

Chris, however, didn’t squeeze or dare try to choke him. Quite the contrary, actually. His hand simply laid there, over Caradoc’s skin, warm to the touch, soft even. But other than that, nothing else happened.

And that was kind of the point. Chris’ own mutation made him immune to Doc’s power. They were close, they were in contact, and yet nothing happened.

@theimpalpable​ sent in: "You can tell me." (Doc and Ray? C:) || new blog but they all still hate vulnerability 🙃 ( you can tell me prompt. )

Most times when Ray is cooking, it’s almost exclusively a solo activity. Being the only chef in a severely understaffed shitty diner is the reason that happens. He’s sure this is bound to break sort of HR law, but for now, he won’t say much. He doesn’t mind it- the quiet that it brings him, save for the sizzling of bacon grease on a pan and whatnot.

It’s probably not a great habit to get accustomed to either. For one thing, cooking in a restaurant requires teamwork. Clear communication between all moving parts for a seamless dining experience is a must, especially in restaurants that serve five-course meals.

Still. It doesn’t mean he doesn’t mind HELP in the kitchen here and there.

Usually, that’s Lam, but he’s not here right now. Neither is Lex-

Their loss, this time around.

“You know, this was the first thing I learned to make.” He admits as he smashes a few pieces of garlic, using the flat end of his knife and his palm. Not that he doesn’t trust Doc with a knife, but well, it’s easier to do the chopping himself. Doc, he’s assigned to separate the shrimp heads from the rest of the body before de-shelling the tail.

It’s after closing hours and coming in late, Doc mentioned he was hungry and not for any of the menu items.

Good thing Ray knows how to work with leftovers. ( And that he’s hungry too- it takes energy, really, coming up with genius ideas. )

“We’ll make a stock out of it. My mom taught me that. And to always use day-old rice. She sucks at cooking, but she does know how to make FRIED RICE. And stir fry, but it’s difficult to mess that one up. “

And now that he thinks about it, he hasn’t spoken to her in a while. He’ll have to call home sometime soon. He wonders if Doc thinks of his family too- he’s never heard him mention them before…neither does Lex. But Ray won’t ask.

If he’s not willing to open that box for himself, why should he expect that of others?

Ray minces up the smashed garlic before pulling out a pot for Doc to use. “Shells and heads in here; can you grab some water too?”

Here comes Lexine and Caradoc; Lexine carrying a cake baked by her with colorful lit candles (it was decided that she was going to be the one presenting it, because Caradoc tends to be...well, quite clumsy and a mess full of bread and icing isn't something wanted here, nor is an accidental fire of sorts) whilst Caradoc walks alongside her, shamelessly and loudly singing the 'Happy Birthday' song (off-key...but he's doing it out of genuine affection).

When Caradoc reaches the last note, gloved hands start applauding and then, he takes out a party horn from his pocket and blows several times; paper tube unrolling and producing a horn-like noise.

"YOOOO, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY DUDE!" Caradoc says excitedly as Lexine carefully places the cake in front of Ray. "Y'know how it goes! Gotta make a wish first before blowin' the candles!"

Lexine smiles gently, nodding in Ray's direction. "Happy Birthday, Ray." Grin widens. "I hope you, uhm, like the cake."

"Where's Lam, though?" Caradoc chimes in, looking about. "We can't take some pics of this real special moment without him!"   

(HELLO, FERRE!!!! Lexine and Caradoc wanted to wish Ray a very happy birthday ;W; I HOPE THIS IS OKAY!!! Pls feel free to skip this if you wish to, though! HAVE A GREAT DAY, CARE YOU HEAPS!!!) || month late but it’s ray’s time to shine :D ( raphael’s 28th birthday. )

ANOTHER YEAR passing by. Not that Ray is necessarily keeping track, but sometimes it still feels unreal to him. It’s been almost three years since he left Paris, two years since he started working at the diner, and one year since he met Lam.

Birthdays used to be a rather…grandiose situation. Send an invitation and mention there’ll be free alcohol and his co-workers and friends back there were bound to come in troves. He wonders if any of them still remember the occasion. But that’s three years ago, it was quite an…adjustment to make when his birthday came around.

Three years ago, he drank a beer for the occasion.

Two years ago, his mother called him.

A year ago, his mother called him and Lam shoved a box of burnt cookies and a succulent into his hands.

Like the TIDE, the circumference of the circle grows and shrinks and it seems that this year again, it’s growing a little wider.

He can’t help but laugh in disbelief as he passes through the kitchen doors, hands still wet from running his hands under the tap water. For one thing, Doc is loud enough to be heard from the back. He wipes his hands with the rag.

“Dude when’d you-“ Another laugh as he realizes Doc is planning on going through the entire song from start to finish, no matter how offkey he might sound. And as the receipt of such a gesture, it is only correct of Ray to well, wait until Caradoc finishes the finale. Which ends with a loud pop and confetti fluttering to the floor like snow.

Ray snickers, rubbing his nose. “You do realize you’re gonna have to clean that up?” Well, technically if they don’t order anything from the menu, Doc and Lex won’t have to because then they’d be considered customers. Not that Ray is going to tell them that, especially considering that they brought their own food this time around- well, he probably won’t make them clean anyways. “How’d you find out? I don’t remember telling either you when my birthday is.”

It's a dumb question though, really. They’re both friends with Lam and Lam, for all the hermit energy he emanates, doesn’t forget dates. It’s the main reason Ray remembered to call his mom on Mother’s Day. He glances at the cake set on the counter; the icing is meticulously set in place and if he peeks under the icing, he’s pretty sure the cake is black. The cake must be black sesame- he has a feeling Lex is responsible for that. She’s always been meticulous, filing details to be used for later.

“Haven’t had one in a while- a cake I mean. I think it’s been like, three years?” He shakes his head, smiling nevertheless. “Thanks you two, seriously.”  

He glances at the clock. “Lam? He should be coming in soon- mentioned something about doing a favor for C*ocaine Donald. I’ll wait to blow the candles then. He probably won’t be too happy if he finds out I blew it before he came. You think we’ll be able to eat the wax? You know, one time I did make waffles out of crayon wax…”

Something glimmers in his eyes. “it didn’t turn out too terribly- well, if you don’t count Lam complaining about how the batter was chewier than normal for a waffle-“

i feel game nights are a thing the four of them do a lot. they're usually fun, but also stressful because more often than not, ray will bring out his creations and basically, whoever loses the game being played, has to eat his creation....unless ray wins, which then means doc, lex, and lam all have to eat :/

lex and lam team up a lot in these cases to a. make sure ray doesn't win and b. make sure doc loses...unless it's settlers of catan. that game really brings out the competitiveness in lam- everyone's for themselves there sjdfklsj

“I want to (___) you”: complete the sentence!

"ey there's my guy!" With a loud hoot, he points his ladle at Caradoc from the other side of the counter. The two pots of soup simmer on the stove behind him- one is someone's order of broccoli and cheddar soup- Ray has to wonder what the appeal exactly is supposed to be. Maybe Doc might know. Still, Ray winks at his comrade in arms- he knew Doc would have his back! In these trying times, it's always encouraging to have one friendly face around...even if it ends with a stomachache the next day. Ah, well, you live and learn-

( Although an outsider looking in might argue this is not a case of living and learning. If the cycle of Doc ( and Lamon for that matter ) suffering from stomach pains the next morning and still coming back for more indicates anything. One might wonder if a person perhaps needs a streak of masochism and an iron stomach to survive Ray's experimentation day in, day out. )

With the broccoli and cheddar ready to be served, Ray spoons out a serving before grabbing a second bowl for his other pot of soup...squid boiled in a dashi stock made out of peanut butter. He sets that bowl in front of Doc...if he said it was delicious that must mean he wants a SECOND SERVING! "Told you squid and peanut butter make a good combination! Think Lam and Lex would want some now too?" After now, he has one glowing review- that's already a testament to the deliciousness ( please note, not the safety ) of his dish!

"There was a PLAN?"

Or so Raphael asks. The mischievous glint in his eye shines a little too brightly as he turns back to his latest creation ( in the making ). But in Ray's defense, this was Caradoc's idea to begin with- Ray just took the necessary steps to execute the idea! A very creative idea that started with the concept of mac and cheese...except instead of using cheese, Ray decided it would be boring to just add cheese. Good thing he had the PICKLING JUICE from that time he pickled squid and gummy bears in Kool-Aid! The squid now mixed in with the pasta, he opens the jar with the pickling juice and grins deviously. He's already added the cornstarch to the pot so the juice will thicken and become a fine sauce.

"Last chance to say no; although I don't actually have any other sauces on hand. So it's either this or the pasta burns."

💲Would my muse ever date/marry/sleep with someone because they were rich? GOING TO GIVE THESE TO MY GIRL SARANG, THANK YOU SO FOR SENDING THEM IN ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; SO, there’s a vague yes here but also a definite no? Sarang doesn’t care much for money, she does care, though, for the connections and implications of power that come with being rich, and more often than not, she needs those connections, those privileges and luxuries that come with being rich, to get to other people, or even to bring someone else to fall. The Order claims to want to cleanse the world and they do, they also realise that some mortal, financial, bureaucratic ways commonly used by people in our society could be as efficient to advance in this direction, if not more so. Mundane tasks, in contrast to the killings, and tasks reserved for Knights like Sarang, along with an unwritten NDA she signed with her blood. So, yes, she’d get into someone’s good graces and play pretty arm candy to advance into this direction, but on a personal level? Never. She values herself too much and wealth too little, not only because an existence such as hers sees no value in finances like that (at least, according to her perspective on it), but also because? She genuinely does not see the gain in it, it’s not worth it.

👓 Would my muse ever lie for sex? Nopesters, unless you count not revealing her identity or nature as lie of omission, but even then, she’s not doing it for sex, she’s just… always doing it, she can’t approach people and lay it all out before them. They’d hardly believe her even if she did. She won’t, either way, keeping her nature, her name, her memories, held tightly against her, locked away within her, is her form of defiance against the entire world and the Order in particular, they’re hers, she is hers, and hers only.

🎥 Who is my muse’s celebrity crush? GOOD QUESTION, and I’m not sure, mostly because I’ve never quite established how familiar Sarang is with pop culture? BUT, I can instead give a vague idea of what personality types and appearances she finds attractive, and then, welp, anyone who fits those descriptions, would work as an answer here~

The traits Sarang is physically and romantically attracted to don’t always coincide. She might find a certain set of personality traits attractive in theory, but not anywhere beyond a kiss smacked on a pair of lips, or entertained in a night of passion.

She does find Hyuk attractive, for example (>:3), he’s tall and broad-shoulder; his standoffish nature, his sharp tongue, his general distaste towards mincing his words, it’s attractive in a physical sense, she likes the idea of pushing him to see how much he’ll take before things get serious, she likes watching him squirm a little, and she does wonder what he might be like in bed. But she’s not interested in him beyond that (at least… so far, from what she knows about him).

Romantically speaking, she’s not big on the unapproachable, she’s not into the bad boy, the cold shoulder archetype, she’s not big on the Jason Dean or the Wolverine, the antihero. She’d be more interested in, say, someone like Caradoc or Lexine, who try to be good wherever they go. I’m mentioning them both (COUSINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE--!) because it’s not about Caradoc’s more chipper nature in contrast to Hyuk or Lexine’s gentleness, it’s the goodness they both exude. She wouldn’t see it as purity, but it is an attempt to remain good, it is an attempt to remain kind, and, also, they actually have a tendency to crack a smile every now and then (this is Hyuk slander and I should be ashamed). But Caradoc isn’t exactly her type, physically speaking? He’s got the height and the smile, but he’s relatively boyish (CORRECT ME IF I’M WRONG PLS), he’s cute to her, you know? Not exactly up her alley, along with his level of energy.

Domenic is perhaps the best example of what Sarang finds attractive both physically/aesthetically/for fun, and in a romantic context. Gentleness and the value for goodness, someone who sees being kind and giving something back to the world as something worth their time. Someone who does also exude calmness, though, and a sense of being established in their self, facing the world without turning other’s smiles upside down. He’s also tall and light-haired, has nice hands (I don’t know if he does for sure, Sarang seems to be convinced he does-) and his glasses icons are sexy as hell.

💔 What was my muse’s first heartbreak? Sarang’s first heartbreak is her current heartbreak, her canon love interest Leif. He’s only half-included in her canon on mythvoiced as a love interest, because binding her this way would potentially leave her less open for forging romantic connections outside of him, I’m not someone who can’t have muses who aren’t available for romantic shipping, I have plenty of aromantic muses or muses who are so difficult to romantically ship with that it’s almost as if they aren’t shippable at all in this context (Yihwa, for one), but for Sarang, I tend to separate her as she’s featured on mythvoiced from her in her canon as I’m developing her ‘offline’ if you will, I’d like to explore her into directions she wouldn’t have opportunity to offline, and as such, he’s only potentially featured as a love interest, but mostly ceases to exist as such in given contexts.

BUT I do think he would generally count as a first heartbreak. Joseon Sarang was old enough to be presented to the public as a yangban woman looking for a husband, she probably should have already been settled actually, but truth is, her family wasn’t big on opening up to other families, in this context as well? She truly spent basically all her life until she ‘died’ within her room. Then loads of shit happened that didn’t really leave much room for romance and then BOOM Leif.

A heartbreak because being both Knights, what could they possibly do?

💯 What is my muse’s ideal date? Depends entirely on the circumstances :333 An ideal date in a scenario in which the date is meant to further her in some endeavour or the other would be a date that is suitable for the occasion, for the task, a date that is appealing to the given person involved so that they remain involved for as long Sarang needs them to be, and a date that allows her quick ‘escape’, if you will.

A date that isn’t too troublesome, in this context, would be ideal.

But in a context of actual, genuine romance, where she’s going on a date because she wants to, I think anything that is tranquil. She lives quite an active life, stuck somewhere between trapped and on the run, she hardly ever truly rests mentally. So a date, an occasion in which she can be with someone she trusts, someone she likes being with, someone she simply likes in general, she’d like it to balance the rest of her life out.

Mundane things, doing things that give the impression she’s normal enough to do them. Attending a fair, going to a festival, a carnival, cutesy stuff, attending an event that isn’t too loud and messy, a classic anime festival date, I’d say ♥

fun blog facts ! 

while logan is TECHNICALLY the original wolfe, none of my main muses would be around if it weren’t for the creation of willow. about five years ago i came up with the idea of her and as her backstory developed so did her cousins. logan came first, the rest followed suit after. 

at the time i first started writing willow she was twenty years old. she will be turning five this month ( on the 23rd ) and will be the longest standing muse i have ever had. 

when i first started to create logan ( about four years ago ), his face claim was going to be jay baruchel and he also had no actual connection to willow originally. after thinking about what i wanted him to be like more, i ended up switching over to chris pine who i felt was a better fit.

logan had originally indulged that he had two brothers at the time of his creation, erik and remy. charlie and steven weren’t created until about two years after logan’s “birth”. he sort of sprang them on me and decided that his family needed expanding. goes to show you that you might not ever really know everything about your brain children.

poppy is a little over a year old and is based around myself ( so yeah, there’s a lot of self insert ). while there are some variances in our personalities, some of her backstory is also based around mine ( if you want details, details feel free to ask. i’m pretty open about the things i’ve gone through ). however, had it not been for @theimpalpable creating her brother i’m not sure i would have ever actually gone through with her ( fun fact: the same can be said for logan. had it not been for alex + caradoc, there’s a chance that he wouldn’t have developed …. at all ). 

all of my muses, with the exception of draven, are related. the mains are cousins, one way or another, and evan ( who is willow and caradoc’s son ) would be their nephew. 

i know that the family tree i’ve created is a bit… hard to understand without information so here we go: wyatt wolfe is oliver tate’s half slightly older half brother. that’s why willow’s name is different from her “adoptive” cousins. wyatt and susan are the parents of all the wolfes. oliver and marianna (nee summers ) tate are willow’s parents and benjamin + antoinette summers are poppy’s folks. 

#the creator ( psa. ) #i've been writing these guys for so long... i just wanted to write out like where this all started !

ULTIMATE SHIP = WATERMELON DUMMIES

ULTIMATE SHIP | meme // @theimpalpable

General:

Rate the Ship Awful | Ew | No pics pls | I’m not comfortable | Alright | I like it! | Got Pics? | Let’s do it! | Why is this not getting more attention?! | The OTP to rule all other OTPs !!!!!!

How long will they last? uh, THEY BETTER LAST FOREVER because i love them with every fiber of my being so !!!! 

How quickly did/will they fall in love? i think there was definitely feelings right away?? the thing is that these two are so shy and innocent that it took both of them some time before they were like ho woah okay i like you !!

How was their first kiss? THE CUTEST EVER??? because that meant that caradoc took serum for her and my heart just is so full of love when i think about that?? 

Wedding:

Who proposed? CARADOC. she asked him to be her boyfriend and i could see him wanting to make the next milestone advance. ( though i guess them sharing a room would technically be the next one but shhhh ). 

Who is the best man/men? LOGAN his superbro !!

Who is the braid’s maid(s)? since this family is full of boys ( wth @ the genetics ) i would say that willow probably had lexine and poppy as her bridesmaids. 

Who did the most planning? i could see them equally sharing the planning? getting married and putting a real stamp on forever is something that totally excites them both. 

Who stressed the most? maybe willow? you know she hits emotions easily and i could see doc being the one that calms her down during those moments. 

How fancy was the ceremony? - Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3 | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big.

Who was specifically not invited to the wedding? uhhhhhhhhh marianna and probably brandon?? maybe doc invited brandon though as another olive branch attempt but i think for sure, for sure marianna was not !!!! invited

Sex:

Who is on top? ( me just going through this is making willow blush )…. but probably they switch? i just see what they do as sweet and tender so.. whatever position they end up in is the position they end up in. 

Who is the one to instigate things? i don’t think really either one of them does and more so it develops naturally from kissing and etc. 

How healthy is their sex life? - Barely touch themselves let alone each other | 2 | 3 | 4 | Once a couple weeks, nothing overboard | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 ( i only say a nine – would have been a ten but – because these two don’t rely on sex and both have that understanding. due to the special circumstances of their relationship they relish in the small touches, the sweetness, of their relationship instead of climbing on top of each other. | They are humping each other on the couch right now

How kinky are they? - Straight missionary with the lights off | 2 | 3 | 4 (IMAGINE THE BLUSHING THAT HAPPENS ALREADY i could not imagine these two being in the next category lmao ) | Might try some butt stuff and toys | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Don’t go into the sex dungeon without a horse’s head

How long do they normally last? i think it really depends on each session individually, though perhaps sometimes on the shorter side and then others on the longer? only reason i say this is because with doc being under serum it’s not like he can…. build endurance as well u H

Do they make sure each person gets an equal amount of orgasms? i would say yes but also… i see doc being like, a real giver / pleaser? making sure she’s taken care of just because that’s how he is in their every day life already. 

How rough are they in bed? - Softer than a butterfly on the back of a bunny | 2 | 3 | 4 | The bed’s shaking and squeaking every time | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Their dirty talk is so vulgar it’d make Dwayne Johnson blush. Also, the wall’s so weak it could collapse the next time they do it.

How much cuddling/snuggling do they do? - No touching after sex | 2 | 3 | 4 | A little spooning at night, or on the couch, but not in public | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They snuggle and kiss more often than a teen couple on their fifth date to a pillow factory.

Children:

How many children will they have naturally? TWO BEAUTIFUL BOYS. 

How many children will they adopt? we’ve never talked about this before but i think it would be something willow would be open to. though, we’ve established that the boys are the only kiddos so maybe it was talked about and they decided two was enough? 

Who gets stuck with the most diapers? i see this being equal but both have a hard time sometimes because WOW POOP and get a little squeamish… maybe. 

Who is the stricter parent? probably willow? even though i don’t really see her bringing down the hammer all that often. their both so lighthearted with the boys, not that they need to be anything more, since their kiddos don’t really get in trouble or overstep bounds. 

Who stops the kid(s) from doing dangerous stunts after school? willow ( insert side eye emoji )

Who remembers to pack the lunch(es)? willow! they will be simple ones ( until lex teaches her how to cook ) but she’s definitely the one who does. besides, doc is probably gone due to work a lot of the time that early so it makes sense. 

Who is the more loved parent? NEITHER. they are both loved and cherished by evan and farren equally, who express their love in their own ways. 

Who is more likely to attend the PTA meetings? i think both, definitely. raising their children together and being on the same page when it comes to their education + life is very important to both of them.  

Who cried the most at graduation? oh, please, they both cried equally. i think on some level there was a point in both willow and caradoc’s life where they weren’t sure a family would ever be possible so seeing their boys walk across the stage…. showing how far they’ve come together and as a family? yeah, they’re both crying. 

Who is more likely to bail the child(ren) out of trouble with the law? doc, probably. willow would just be a all huffy the whole time but i’m not sure either kid would be in such severe trouble? 

Cooking:

Who does the most cooking? hahahah doc…. though i guess i should say lexine, huh! 

Who is the most picky in their food choice? willow and she’s not really picky… we just know doc can sometimes be a black hole. 

Who does the grocery shopping? i think both? though they probably weren’t great at it at first… had to grow into adult grocery shopping. 

How often do they bake desserts? never because lexine does that. girl, hooks it up for these two babes. 

Are they more of a meat lover or a salad eater? i’d say meat??? 

Who is more likely to surprise the other(s) with an anniversary dinner? both do it! 

Who is more likely to suggest going out? i think this is also a shared thing. one time it’s doc, another time it’s willow. 

Who is more likely to burn the house down accidently while cooking? …… eeesh willow. 

Chores:

Who cleans the room? i think that willow’s job isn’t always as demanding as the deadlines that doc has to meet – so often she’s at home and will clean up the entire house when she can, room included!

Who is really against chores? they both are. c’mon, chores suck! but they do them. 

Who cleans up after the pets? they both share but since mr. fluffy was a gift from doc willow makes sure to clean up after him as much as possible! her pup, her responsibility…. but we all know doc will take him for a walk / clean up / love on him too. 

Who is more likely to sweep everything under the rug? hahahah maybe doc. 

Who stresses the most when guests are coming over? i don’t think either stress, really? their guests usually consists of the family or extended family so they’re all people they are comfortable around. 

Who found a dollar between the couch cushions while cleaning? doc, that lucky son of a –

Misc:

Who takes the longer showers/baths? willow, probably? i could see her doing it for the sake of looking like a prune and only to show doc her pruney fingers. lmao, why is she like this? 

Who takes the dog out for a walk? both!! probably together more often than not but when doc isn’t home ( due to work, etc – maybe highjacked by logan ) she’ll walk him on her own. 

How often do they decorate the room/house for the holidays? ALL THE TIME. willow loves, loves, loves christmas so you bet they take holiday pictures and everything. 

What are their goals for the relationship? to grow and love one and other, through the good and the bad, the easy and the hard, for the rest of their lives. 

Who is most likely to sleep till noon? doc if he could…. i’m js. 

Who plays the most pranks? probably doc though willow gets her jabs in too!!!
