#I love harbor more

[ketherite]

Hello! First post on hit site Tumblr!! I offer you an extremely rushed Cypher x Reader! I'm so sorry if he's a bit OOC here. Do note that I originally made this with an OC in mind! Comments will be greatly appreciated. Enjoy :)

(C/N) - Code Name

(Y/N) - Your Name

(C/N) looked at the man right across from them, a mug of tea in hand. His eyes, never peeling away from them— at least that’s what they thought. They couldn’t read much from Cypher’s face because of his pesky little mask covering every identifiable inch of him. The blue lenses only provided them small insight with how frequent his shutters— or eyelids blink. Despite that, they still feel his eyes on them, as if they have his undivided attention.

“So, Cypher, what did you call me here for?” (C/N) asks as they look down into their mug, gently swirling it around to gather the loose leaves in the middle while awaiting his answer.

“What? Is it not normal to want to have a cup of tea with a friend?” He teased as he giggled, holding up his white mug of tea to them. He then lifted his mask up ever-so-slightly to take a sip of his still-hot tea, making (C/N) turn away for the sake of courtesy.

“You gotta warn me before you do that. I don’t wanna accidentally see your face, Amir.” Their voice had a hint of annoyance in it. Cypher was a man of mystery— the man kept his entire identity; from appearance to past a secret for Christ sake! Despite that, it seemed like he had no issue with (C/N) seeing a bit of his face, but he hasn’t told them that yet, which prompts silly situations like this.

“I know, dear. But it’s alright, I know you aren’t telling anyone about what you saw.” He pulled his mask down to hide his smirk. “You and I aren’t so different. We practically think the same! Minus the hidden identity, of course.”

(C/N) sighs at his antics and rolls their eyes. “I suppose we are.”

A moment of silence falls between the two. It doesn’t feel awkward, but it feels like something’s hung up in the air. Like a question that needs an answer.

“(Y/N), there is something I need to tell you.” The once goofy air suddenly turned serious. It wasn’t everyday people called (C/N) by their real name instead of their code name. Whenever their real name is used, they know the topic is gonna be something rather important. They tilted their head to the side, as if questioning the sudden shift in tone.

Silence once again, but this time Cypher’s nervously fidgeting with his mug, looking down into its contents. A sigh escapes him as he looks back up to meet their gaze. Oh their gaze; so piercing. It was as if they were staring into the deepest depths of his soul, digging through the dark matter that lies within to see even a glimpse of his thoughts.

“I thought about it for a while. My past, Nora— everything really. It’s all been so dark, so dreary ever since it all crumbled for me. But you— when you joined, it felt like a breath of fresh air. Everyday, I look forward to seeing you. Our little hangouts have been the highlight of my days recently. Whenever you’re around, I feel like a sailor lost in the raging sea finally seeing the light from the lighthouse. A beacon of hope, if you will—” He cuts himself off with a cough, slightly tilting his hat to hide his embarrassment.

“I may be too old for this word, but I think I might have a crush on you.” He visibly cringes at the word. “Truth be told, I haven’t felt this way since I first met Nora. It’s strange to feel that flutter in my chest once again. Just thought I had to get my feelings out there. Didn’t want them brewing in me for too long.”

Cypher now refused to look at them, opting to look to the side and focus on any piece of furniture or clutter instead of them. (C/N), on the other hand, only gave him a sigh before standing up. ‘Maybe it was a bad idea…’ He thought, thinking they were just gonna leave him with no response— a rejection.

He was so lost in thought he didn’t notice that (C/N) was now standing at his side, opposite from where he was looking. One could imagine the surprise he felt when they grabbed his chin to face them, raised his mask just right above his nose, and kissed him.

They kissed him.

…

They kissed him.

It lasted only a second, but to him it felt like eternity. A kiss he so desperately wanted for so long, finally given to him. They only tasted faintly of cardamom and honey, but it tasted like sweet, sweet nectar to him; sweet, addictive, and intoxicating.

They pulled his mask back down and scoffed. “Despite being a genius, you’re a stupid man, Amir. I already knew from the get-go. I just wanted to hear you say it.”

“So, was that a yes?” He said as he looked up at them. If he wasn’t wearing the mask, (C/N) swore he’d have some puppy-eyed look on his face right now.

They crossed their arms over their chest and stuck their tongue out at him, a rare display of immaturity from them. It was cute. “I don’t know, was it?”

Cypher chuckled at their sarcasm. He then stood up and pulled up his mask halfway to give them a kiss, one they gladly returned.

“Eww, gross! can you guys get a room? I’m about to cook lunch here and you guys are literally making out.” A voice from behind the two interrupted them. It was Jett, and it seemed like she had brought Phoenix and Neon with her. Cypher immediately broke the kiss to quickly pull his mask over followed by (C/N) hiding their blushing face from the group.

Knowing the group, they’ll probably never hear the end of it. They’ll most likely spread it around the Protocol, but for the first time, it didn’t even matter to Cypher. He’s just happy they feel the same, happy that he finally has what he’s wanted for so long.

Harbor seal | Phoca vitulina

Gray seal | Halichoerus grypus

Spotted seal | Phoca largha

What do all of these seals have in common? Homosexuality has been observed in all three species! Happy pride!

my greatest achievement in DA2 is maxing out Carver's friendship

and all it took was begrudgingly kissing a little templar ass in act 1 because Carver didn't want to plan a prison break if my Hawke got his ass arrested for being stupid.

#carver hawke #dragon age #dragon age 2 #da2 #well that and he didn't want leandra gamlen and himself to also get arrested for harboring an apostate but you get me #carver hawke loves his sibling and doesn't want them to get taken away that's why he's such an ass and approves of 'pro-templar' choices #in act 1 he's not pro-templar himself but kissing a little templar ass is how you avoid being arrested #'why yes cullen you are so right the templars are so cool and sexy' my hawke says through gritted teeth for that +5 friendship #look i love him okay he's my favorite and i will go the extra mile to make him happy and it's worth it for how much softer can be later on #honestly maxing out his friendship isn't hard if you're aware of what quests you're bringing him on and make him a grey warden #oh but you do need the legacy dlc otherwise you can't fully max friendship out... you can still get enough to change his dialogue/attitude #also like... we the player know hawke won't be arrested like they're not in any actual dangers from the templars as the playable character #but carver doesn't know that and neither does hawke so the templars *are* a real threat to them #and it's incredibly reckless to purposely piss off templars AND selfish because it's not just hawke that'll be arrested it's their family #for harboring them like we witness templars going after people hiding apostates soooo..... #i'm just saying that carver isn't irrational or just being an ass to personally annoy you okay he has cause #also once carver's a warden and ed has money and the estate THEN he's way more open about telling the templars to piss off #sigh one day i'll sit down and write an essay about carver.... one day

thinking about kafblade literally makes me sick sometimes. blade needs kafka to keep him sane. blade is a weapon and a tool and kafka is the only one who can wield him effectively. blade yearns so badly to be taken apart and kafka promises she can do it, all he has to do is follow along. his life is defined by two things and two things only: revenge, and kafka.

#IM GOING FUICKING INSANE #THEYRE SO FUCKED UP I FUCKING LOVE THEM!!!! #also this is blade centric post cuz honestly i havent really been able to grasp kafka's personality yet #i dont think ill be able to until she's released and we get some backstory and voicelines from her that arent just smug bullshittery #or maybe her entire personality is smug bullshittery idk #would it be more fun if she sees blade as just a toy or if she really does harbor true affection for him? #anyways #kafblade #hsr liveblog #💀💬 #hsr headcanons

So, the appendix for Season 3 Episode 2 of Midst [link] is a pocket book, opened to its introductory pages, but I noticed that if you look closely, you can see the text on the previous and next pages!

And to make things even easier still, I am going to give you a full transcript.

Unexpected thing about Dracula: I love how often people tell their friends "I love you." The men say it just as often as the women. It's said often in both casual and dire situations, loud and boisterous and genuine. It's really refreshing compared to how some people act nowadays, that I love yous are meant to be strictly romantic or familial. I wonder where exactly in the nearly 100 years since this book came out that things started to shift?

#moonspeaks #dracula #dracula daily #what i also love: quincy and seward harbor like no ill will towards lucy for not returning their affections #like they were turned down for a MARRIAGE proposal and not only do they not begrudge her #but they're also HAPPY for the last person in their besties squad that she DID love back #and not only do they have 0 animosity towards lucy theyre also willing to fucken GIVE HER BLOODa #which compared the well known practice of it nowadays was probably more dangerous and debilitating to the givers as well #anyways im quite enjoying this book #tag story

My watch through of classic Doctor Who is going so well (I'm even more attracted to old men now compared to before--)

#my obsession with dilfs/gilfs is really starting to show #also i love four #hes so funny at times and I love how Tom can flip from casual to nearly seething in his performance of him its great #reminds me vaguely of how Matt Smith played Eleven: fun and kind of silly on the surface while harboring actual rage and tension behind it #classic who #i wish i had more thoughtful comments but I just be watching the show and smiling #fourth doctor #doctor who

I think Pope Francis is doing something that the church really needs right now. We're the older brother getting mad about our father not letting us have a lamb to dine with our friends when our starving younger brother shows up. We should welcome him back and feed him, because he knows he's hungry, and then we can show him the food he's really hungry for (ya dig?). But so often we're caught up with the years he spent away, or the fact that he's not really repentant so much as starving, or that we're not getting what we think is our due for following the rules.

But the father ran to meet the prodigal son. He ran. He didn't ask for an apology, he just welcomed his son home and back to life. Francis wants us to run to meet our wayward brothers and sisters, I think. Not that the dogma isn't important, but that we must always begin with great love. And for those of us who never left our Father's loving house, it's easy to get caught up in the rules and forget the relationship needed to be founded first.

#i was speaking about this with a bunch of friends over new year's #they have varying opinions on francis from mixed to thinking he might secrelty harbor heretical views (yikes) #but one of them said something the brothers from the parable of the prodigal son #and it struck such a cord with me #i think 'trad' catholics or normal more dogmatic catholics get mad at Francis putting love at the center of his papacy #because they're the older brother. they loved his predecessors' works on theology and deep discussions of dogma #but they sometimes forget the forgiveness and grace and love required to bring someone home #especially if theyre unrepentant right now #anyway i think Francis was the right choice and is doing the right thing for the current age of the church #catholic church #catholic #please dont harass me on church teaching i dont know enough

#this.discussion between them is one of my favorites #this and that exchange a while earlier where vash talks ab gunsmokes reliance on plants being a consequence of the big fall #and a necessary facet of survival for the ppl who live here despite how utterly awful an experience it is #for the both of them.the plants being used and the people forced by circumstance to use them until death ykyk #and i especially like.how vash is just so . baffled by the idea that knives somehow sees his ideology as this naive dream #as opposed 2 a reaction from the anger hes been harboring for SOO long. we SAWW it we saw how he reacted on the ship #we see it in the way he struggles 2 navigate life among ppl and how his body bears the scars of his pain and frustrations #his anger is sooo.Good. and formative.and wholly vash that i cannot imagine him without it #he never forgot teslas death / never will .and it motivates him just as much as rem's sacrifice n so on. #'ever since that day we've been mad' ....... prbably one of the best lines ive taken away #hashtag shinobu's 'yes im angry..ive always Been angry' monologue #i love how he includes knives in that anger too. its not just youre angry or im angry. its that We've been angry. Ever since that day. #going2 throw UPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #and the way knives reacts 2 it too.using it to cement his grief and decision that if we had to suffer than its only fair they should too #fairness.and when he talks ab making it equal...giving whats been taken..always an interesting concept to use in a vengeful sense from the #more sensitive brother. i love it.LUVE ITTT #trigun spoilers #vash #knives trigun #trigun maximum #trigun #millions knives

Hear me out: people are allowed to engage in media that they hate. People can watch certain media for whatever reason they want, even if it's not for the same reason you do. Sometimes it's fun to make fun of what you watch, sometimes it's great to watch stuff you hate in order to see where they went wrong for writing practice, sometimes its good background noise. Unless it's actively bullying the creator, then people can go apeshit over things that they hate

Also hate it when people say this when others have the slightest bit of criticism for what they watch. Are we not allowed to think critically and analyze media that we view

#saying this to certain fans #of a certain youtube animation series... #helluva boss critical #as someone who is a fan of some disliked shows #I don't care if people watch them for hate or love #some videos made by people who dislike things that i like have made me view media in a more critical way #its good to hear both sides in my opinion #from both the fans and haters :) #also i saw one person say that someone would die alone for not liking a character design 💀 #like helluva boss fans can we calm down #mini rant #rant #y'know what fuck it #vivziepop critical #not because i hate her #but because shes harbored a toxic fanbase where the vast majority of people cannot accept criticism of her work #i feel like that at least should still be said
