this is a crack post

i am a multishipper. these are the ships i like and the EXACT flavor i like them in. semi organized? but not really.

starwarpcrack

3 very different people who bicker all the damn time and if you try to separate them they will kill you because they are family dammit!!!

starjack (NOW IN 2 FLAVORS!)

(prime) old, angry, traumatized men. they are covered in scars that they gave each other. and also they are obsessed.

(idw) starscream is awful and everyone hates him. wheeljack does not. it makes screamer’s heart feel funny. he tries to be not awful but it does not work. wheeljack loves him anyway.

megastar

dysfunctional in every way. but somehow they still… work? they know each other better than anyone. and they fucking hate each other but also they BELONG to each other. their routine at parties is to show up. have a screaming match. steal the silverware. then go home and cuddle.

everyone else hates them.

rodimus is on one of those leash backpacks for children. magnus is holding the leash. def spanks him. pining is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!!!! one of them is obsessed and one of them is oblivious. doesn’t matter which.

rodiclash

“hey rory why are your priorities romantic love in fiction. shipping isn’t everything!” “siblings siblings siblings!! am i right??” “why don’t you like familial dynamics as much as shipping ):” i am a married lesbian and an adopted only child, i honestly don’t know what to tell you?

#sorry i did say i needed to like. close this tab #but my brain is buzzing so hard right now and i feel like talking #i guess this is kind of why i fell out of love so hard with aa? i mean love that series to death but #**with the fandom i should say. and i do have some things i'm doing still within it that i do WANT to do 100%#but i think that my otps and favorite characters side my interests....do not align with what this fandom mainly likes #and to some degree what this series is about #aside from the shipping i loved piecing together character dynamics. and that there were so many rich connections the characters #had to each other. and how all of it was just...this big puzzle you could slowly figure out #and it wasn't some unraeachable carrot you were chasing after it was easy enough to understand. but obfuscated JUST enough that some of it #was speculative!!#but it is deeply entrenched in familial bonds and....i'm really sorry but i cannot relate to it and it made me feel like #maybe i'm not where i belong right now #i'm so grateful to the people i met during my time really i do #and i love franziska adrian gumshoe maya ema etc to death #but its just not my special interest anymore....i think i've accepted that #especially since i have a new one that makes me happy now #no one has asked me these things btw but it's something i see people make posts about a lot

have you done prompts for height difference yet? thank you for your hard work!

hello!! no worries, i hope you like these!! thank you for visiting my small blog :) have a great day! ☁

OTP prompts for when they have a height difference

One of them standing on the tippiest of toes to reach up for a kiss, and the other bending down to meet them in the middle

^ and feeling so shy after that they bury their head in the other's chest out of extreme shyness

^ and the taller one resting their chin on the crown of their head, closing their eyes as they take in the scent of their shampoo

The shorter one pretending not to hear what the taller one said, making them whisper playfully into the other's ear

Trying to reach for a book on the top shelf and the other helping them with it

^ but the shorter one adamantly not wanting any help, only for the taller one to carry them up anyway (bonus: they dissolve into a fit of giggles over the ridiculous situation)

Getting engulfed in a hug — literally — because they are so tiny

One of them picking the tinier one up to cross puddles on a rainy day because they don't want their clothes to get muddy

Dancing together at a party and resting their head on the other's chest, and realising that they fit together perfectly like two puzzle pieces

hope that you find these useful! prompt requests are open here :)

Forgot to post pics of the OTP. Maybe it would be a dangerously co-dependent relationship, but I feel like Gale and Astarion are two sides of the same coin and can relate to each other a lot. The difference is that Gale wants to give, and it's time for Astarion to let himself receive, so they fit together like puzzle pieces. Plus, Astarion would finally get a stable, loving home in Waterdeep where he wouldn't have to worry about where to go or who he'd have to deal with. He'd be safe, and Gale would have someone to share his life with that genuinely appreciates him. It's synergy, dare I say, their interests weave together.

Also Astarion would totally agree with tara and fix that horrid scraggly beard that Gale had been touting since they met (just joking, I love Gale's beard).

#baldurs gate 3 #bg3 #astarion #astarion ancunin #gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #the wizard of waterdeep #the pale elf #bloodweave #gale x astarion #galestarion #astarion x gale

8- The Mirror Doesn’t Lie

Chapter Summary: Preparations for the Celebration Ball continue for the upcoming Saturday at the palace to officially inform the court of the princes and their expected arrival date in August. Drake’s revelations about his future are revealed with memories of the past for Liam. Lena, under custody with Interpol is transferred to Lyon, France.

Music and Title Inspiration:

Simply the Best, Sara Beth Mirrors, Justin Timberlake

A/N1: My submission for @choicesflashfics Week #38, Prompt #1 - “I love your curves. I think it’s one of the best things about you.”, Prompt #2 - “Pretending to be happy is pretty damn exhausting.”

A/N2: My submission for Choices June Challenge, Prompt – Nature – Run (jogging), beach, sunshine, summer. @liaromancewriter

A/N3: My submission for Character Summer Challenge, Prompt – beach @choicesficwriterscreations

Bright, early mornings in the summer always brought a calming solace for Liam. As he jogged along the coastline of the private, secluded beach near the Capital, the sunshine and cool sea breeze invigorated him and allowed for clarity of thought; a guilty pleasure that he took for himself. Listening to calming music through his ear buds, and with the steady pace of his jog, his thoughts eventually turned to the conversation that he had had with his brother the previous evening. Liam shook his head, remembering with regret how the phone conversation quickly got heated...

‘Leo, are you trying to tell me that I need to give this woman, this stranger, the benefit of the doubt?”

All I am saying Liam, is that our father turned his back on his own daughter, on your sister, my half sister.

Oh, in that case you are trying to tell me that I am just like our father?!

This woman threatened my daughter, stalked my wife, told you that she wanted my throne because she felt that I was not worthy of it.

And what, I should just let her have access to me and to my family without consequence?

Are you insane?! '

Liam stopped abruptly, not realizing his calming jog had turned into a fast-paced run. He bent over, slowing down his breathing as he swept the sweat from his brow.

The sunshine glinted off the bows of the yachts docked at the marina just up ahead as he looked up. Chuckling to himself, he realized how far and fast he ran.

This argument had swiftly spiraled into a shouting match and ended with Liam curtly ending that conversation.

Shaking his head, he chastised himself, thinking that when he returned to the palace, he needed to call Leo to further explain his reasoning and to apologize for the conversation getting out of hand.

Of course, he was curious, and wanted answers from this woman, his ‘sister’. What he really needed was answers from his father.

Why did he not embrace his own flesh and blood? Why?

Why would he knowingly abandon his child?

Why keep this child away from him?

Was his father’s paranoia the reason?

These are missing pieces to this puzzle that confounded him. Should he give her the benefit of a doubt? Yes, he can. However, there are qualified Interpol Inspectors that are trained to vet situations like this.

His responsibility, no... his duty was to protect his queen and family at all costs. Which makes it a critical priority to keep this woman physically away from Cordonia’s borders.

Liam made a mental note to call back Olivia and Inspector Cossoy back to the capital, once Lena was secured in Lyon, France.

Picking up his jog again, he continued at a steady pace, changing his thoughts to the upcoming celebration ball being held at the palace on Saturday. Deciding to formally invite Amalas, he was sure that his brother would follow her back to Cordonia. That would be the perfect opportunity to extend an olive branch.

“Li, hold up.” Drake appeared walking on the dock, interrupting his thoughts.

“Hey, Drake, good morning.” Liam slowed to a stop, turning to greet his friend.

“Welcome back, how was your trip?” This being the first conversation that the friends had since their talk; Liam was curious about how his trip to the U.S. played out.

“Pretty good, all things considered.” Drake acknowledged.

“Delaney’s parents were very welcoming. Her older brother, not so much.”

“Oh, oh! That must have been uncomfortable, what did you do?” Liam joked, clapping Drake on the back.

“He was asking me more questions about my intentions than her father did.” Drake rolled his eyes, shaking his head.

“It made me wonder what Laney told him about me.”

“Why would she disparage you?”

Drake ran his hand down his face, sighing, “we had an argument just before we left the hotel to meet her family at the restaurant. She seems to think that I am afraid of commitment.”

Liam looked at his friend, “well, she may have a point there.”

“Not you too,” Drake complained. “I just like my space.”

“Yes, well, it sounds like she wants a future with you, Drake, and that means compromise.”

Groaning, “I get that, Li, it's just that.... Drake paused and exhaled loudly, closing his eyes.

Liam noticed the tells of Drake’s nervousness and stopped to look directly at his friend.

For whatever reason, Drake was having a rough time returning eye contact.

Without looking up, Drake reached into his backpack that was slung over his shoulder.

“I have something for you. It is an invitation for you and Riley.”

Surprised, Liam reached for the sealed envelope. “This? An invitation for what?

Drake, speaking very quietly, “well, I don’t want to spoil the surprise... But it is something incredibly special from Delaney and I.”

Liam’s eyes narrowed suspiciously, reading the look on Drake’s face as apprehensive.

“Delaney and I have come to an agreement.” Drake looked everywhere but did not return Liam’s questioning gaze.

“We have decided to set up roots, here, in Cordonia, as a couple.”

“Really? What happened to change her mind about moving back to Austin?”

“We came to a compromise.”

This piqued Liam’s curiosity. “What exactly did you agree to?”

“In your hand, Li, is a wedding invitation.” Drake revealed, his eyes not looking up from the ground.

“Well, well, well...this is, a surprise. Congratulations, my friend! Riley will be delighted to hear this.”

Still looking at the ground, Drake nodded, “thank you, Liam.”

Furrowing his brows, Liam looked at his friend in confusion, not saying a word.

“Watching you with Brooks, all these years.... I want that too.” Drake spoke hesitantly.

It wasn’t lost on Liam; the meaning behind those words. Knowing that Drake had feelings for Riley, once upon a time, that had sparked during his social season. Confessed feelings that still lingered for Drake, but feelings that were never returned by Riley.

“Pretending to be happy is pretty damn exhausting,” Drake confessed.

♤♡◇♧

Royal Boutique, Cordonian Palace

Eleanor squealed, “mommy, look at all the pretty dresses! I want that one! Oh, oh, look at this one! Mommy, pleeease, may I have both?”

It was the Friday before the Celebration Ball at the Palace. Promising her daughter, the particularly important grown-up task of choosing her formal wear, Riley watched her little girl excitedly choose two dresses to try.

“Well, Ellie, since you can only wear one dress to the ball tomorrow, the other dress you can wear to the next event. Choose the one that you think fits the purpose of having this ball.”

Eleanor tapped her finger to her chin, debating her choice.

“You handled that situation perfectly, your majesty.” Riley’s personal assistant, Claire, whispered.

“Mommy, I have decided.”

Riley looked expectantly at her daughter.

“These dresses are wrong,” Eleanor answered. “These dresses aren’t blue.”

Claire grinned watching Riley’s reaction, as Ellie plucked the blue dress from the rack to try on, leaving the other selections behind.

Shaking her head with a smile, Riley resumed looking through the ball gowns in the boutique. It was time to find a gown that would fit her now rapidly changing body and her personal assistant suggested an A-line pastel yellow tulle ball gown with an embellished plunging neckline.

Gazing at her reflection in the full-length mirror she smiled as she felt flutters in her tummy. The twins were very active in their daily movements tucked securely inside her body.

“Claire, this is the one.” Riley called out to her assistant from the dressing room.

Hearing the dressing room door click behind her, Riley was delighted when she felt Liam’s strong arms wrap around her; clearly not Claire.

Riley closed her eyes, when she felt his lips kiss her ear.

“Mm mm... what did you do with my assistant?” Riley tittered.

“I sent her away. You have me to attend to your needs.” Liam responded, kissing down her neck.

“In that case, what do you think of this gown? Do you think the bodice is too revealing?”

“I love your curves. I think it’s one of the best things about you.”

Giggling, Riley playfully swatted his arm. “Liam, I am serious!”

“I am too, love.... You are ravishing.”

♤♡◇♧

Monterrisian Royal Palace

The unmarked black SUV passed through the palace side gate as Alex and Olivia watched. Lena was being transported out of the country by Interpol today.

Once Lena arrives at the Interpol headquarters in France, she will be given a psychological evaluation and be officially charged for her crimes.

Alex overheard Leo's question for Olivia...

“She did not look happy, but at least she wasn’t resisting or trying to escape.” Olivia answered Leo on her cell speakerphone.

"Good to hear. Amalas notified Liam this morning about the transfer."

"Are the two of you planning to attend the celebration ball tomorrow?"

Olivia was well aware of the 'conversation' between the brothers.

Agreeing with Liam, Olivia was very vocal about her position to Leo after their conversation ended.

"Yes, Liv, I will go but I am going solo."

Olivia looked at Alex, raising her brow, and answering Leo.

"This will be an interesting evening,"

Thank you for reading🤎🤎🤎

Three-Part Sapphic Amiter Fanart

They are finally done! About a week ago, I started making three fanart pics that went together to tell a short story about Amity's feelings towards Huntress before Amity knew Huntress was a girl. It took forever to draw and color and life got in the way but here they are!

Pic 1/3

Amity has finally accepted that her feelings towards our favorite Bad-But-Sad girl are romantic but Huntress has not come out as trans yet. So, Amity goes to her good friend, Luz, to discuss how confused she is that she is a lesbian but is in love with a boy. Luz tries to help her work through these feelings, suggesting she may be demiromantic. Luz also talks about how she came to realize that she was not straight but bisexual and how Amity might be that way too. Amity explains that she doesn't feel like those are the answers. She explains how she feels like there is a piece to this puzzle she is missing. Luz comforts Amity saying that they will figure it out together. The overall idea of this scene is that Amity can kinda sense Huntress' inner girl which is why the romantic feelings begin before Huntress comes out, but Amity hasn't put the pieces together yet. The Amiter ship is my OTP now, but we respect Amity's lesbian identity on this channel (homophobes dni). To make things clear, she is not averse to the idea of being a Bisexual and/or Biromantic (biphobes dni), but she understands herself and knows that she is not attracted to any type of masculinity. She's a lesbian 100%. She is certain there is something she is missing, like the answer is on the tip of her tongue. Also, this isn't meant to imply she is transphobic for not thinking of that answer. It's more like that phenomenon where the simpler the answer is, the harder it is to recall and when it is finally voiced out loud you have that giant "oh my god I'm so stupid" thought. Kinda like how people will search for their phone for a whole day only to have a friend point out that it has been in their pocket the whole time. Lol. Meanwhile, our adorable Bad-But-Sad girl is in another part of the house, making a PowerPoint presentation...

Pic 2/3

Huntress is emboldened by her sister, Luz, coming out as bi to her mom. Seeing Luz, Willow (Luz's girlfriend), and Camila all hug each other while seeing Gus run around with pride flags all over gave her the confidence she needed to come out as well. She alters her deadname to suit her true self (her line of thinking is like how waiter and waitress and actor and actress exist so it makes perfect sense to switch from Hunter to Huntress so she can keep "Hun" in her name because she loves the nickname "Hun" and "honey") and borrows the laptop so she can make her own presentation.

Pic 3/3

Hugs!!! Everyone is happy and accepting of Huntress and the whole house is filled with acceptance and love. Both Amity and Luz have their "omg we are so stupid for not figuring that out sooner lol" and then break off into different lines of thinking. Luz is all "omg I have TWO sisters let's fricking gooooo" meanwhile Amity's like "oh my Titan she is so pretty in that skirt I can't handle it ajdvfufuebsksjcusyiahgs". Amity being a hopeless gay brings me joy because nothing is more wholesome than being hopelessly in love with your significant other.

#sapphic amiter #Sapphic Huntmity #Sapphic rosegold #transfem hunter #amity blight #hunter noceda #the owl house #amiter #rosegold #huntmity #fanart #transgender hunter #transgirl hunter #willuz #luz noceda #these pics took forever to draw omg #I still suck at drawing hands

relationship asks: 40 to 50 for Portada?? emphasis on 48 bc potential Law interaction 👀👀 I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been down lovely :(( sending good vibes your way and there’s no way you can dodge them <33 -🍂

Aww thank you so much Alvita!!! I appreciate it a lot!! <33

40) What's a secret one would never tell the other?

Well, they know each other’s MAJOR secret (i.e. their parentage) and Yara also told Ace about what really went down on Phestris Island with Cipher Pol (when she acquired her Devil Fruit) so I feel like the secrets that they end up keeping from each other are really petty. Like, “I accidentally broke your favourite mug but you assumed Thatch did it and I never bothered to correct you because I didn’t want you to be mad at me”

41) If they had to spend a month apart, how would they fare?

They probably spent at least a month or more apart during Ace’s Blackbeard hunt (before the battle on Banaro Island and its, shall we say, “aftermath”) and while neither of them was happy to be apart from the other that long, they managed to cope alright. They had a piece of each other’s vivre card (Ace had folded his into the shape of a heart before he gave it to her) and could see that the other was doing well through that, and they wrote letters back and forth the whole time. Ace sent Yara a bunch of goodies from his travels, too. Mostly stuff he stole for her.

42) If someone else assumes they are romantic partners, how do they react?

I’m assuming this is before they’re officially together, back in the pining stage lol but Yara handles it with a shrug and a “he’s not my boyfriend, actually” (which Ace has to pretend doesn’t sting nearly as bad as it does). She gets a bit flustered, but is overall pretty good at keeping her racing heart under control (or at least not letting it show on the outside). Ace gets a lot more noticeably flustered. If he’s alone, he probably wouldn’t bother to correct the person (like if a merchant assumed he was shopping for a girlfriend) but if Yara’s there he’ll more vigorously deny it because he doesn’t want to make her uncomfortable— for awhile he just couldn’t fathom the concept of her actually liking him back (poor boy thinks he’s unlovable)

43) If someone else assumes they are blood relatives, how do they react?

They’d think it’s more funny than anything. They look nothing alike. It’d probably become an inside joke about how they wouldn’t wish that fate (being the child of [Ace’s father] or Mihawk) on anyone.

44) If they had to squeeze together in a cramped space, what would happen?

Poor Ace lmao he’s trying his best not to think dirty thoughts (especially before they’re together). If they’re together at that point, though, he might take the opportunity to make a suggestive comment. Depending on the situation, he might even get his wish lol

45) If one of them was in trouble, what would the other do?

Well, Marineford lol — there’s a reason their otp tag is “I’d burn the world for you”— Ace in a more literal sense because of his Devil Fruit, but there’s no lengths Yara wouldn’t go to in order to protect the light of her life.

46) If they could each have one wish related to the other, what would it be?

Yara wishes Ace would be able to fully realize and accept just how loved he really is so he can start to love himself and understand that his life has worth, his existence isn’t a crime, and he deserved to be born.

Ace wishes that Yara and Mihawk would repair their broken relationship and by extension that Yara would accept and embrace who she is. He wants her to find that sense of belonging that she has been searching for her entire life.

47) If they had to solve a complex puzzle together, how would it go?

Yara solves it. Ace watches with his chin resting on her shoulder making unhelpful suggestions and getting shushed in return lol

48) If they swapped bodies, how would they handle it?

It’s too bad Ace and Law never met in canon cuz they’re both gunning for the competition of One Piece’s Most Traumatized, Mentally Unwell Man lmao (Law would probably win on the virtue of Ace at least having Luffy as a surviving family member whereas poor Law lost pretty much everyone, including Corazon ofc) but let’s just say they get hit with Law’s Room powers and that’s how it happens (for the sake of this question I’m also assuming they get full access to each other’s Devil Fruit powers lol)

Ace and Yara know each other’s bodies pretty well so it wouldn’t be completely traumatic for them. Ace is mostly amused by it and spends most of his time playing around with walking through walls and sticking his hand into solid objects. Yara also takes Ace’s powers out for a test drive— she’s always wanted to know just how powerful he really is, so she definitely goes to stand over by the ocean and lets out a few “HIKEN!!!!”s, just for the hell of it. They’re both relieved when they go back to normal, though.

49) If one of them wanted to split up, how would the other react?

If it was earlier in their relationship and they came to the realization that they worked better as friends, they would be able to go back to that state without too much grief. If it came after they’d been together awhile, though, neither of them would take it well at all lol if Ace initiated it, Yara would become petty and angry and vengeful and tbh would probably never speak to him again. If it was Yara splitting up with Ace, then he would get extremely depressed. It would make him hate himself infinitely more than he already does— just another confirmation that he doesn’t deserve to be alive.

50) If they had to write their future selves a note, what would it say?

“Dear future Ace and Yara,

Wherever you are, we hope that you’re happy together and that you both found the peace you have been searching for. We hope that you’re able to fully accept the love that the other person has to offer, and that everything turns out okay in the end. Sometimes it’s hard to see that either of us really will have a future, considering everything we’ve been through, but we hope it exists, and that you found it in good health and spirits. That’s a lot of hope, but times have been dark lately and hope is all we have that we’ll come out the other side alright. But maybe, as long as we have no regrets about the way we chose to live our lives, then that’s all we can ask for, even if one or neither of us makes it out alive.

Here’s to the future, and to hope.

Present Ace and Yara.”

ask game here!

One Piece nakama: @auxiliarydetective @daughter-of-melpomene @xoteajays

#oc: bravada yara #my ocs #asked and answered #ship: portada #otp: i'd burn the world for you #chats with alvita #thank you so much honestly these asks really have been cheering me up #portada always does the trick lol #answering some of these questions really makes me think about how badly ace needs therapy lmao #he is both the sweetest goofball and the most depressed man on the planet and i love him for it #him and law really should have a trauma-off lol

While I’m busy getting meta about fandom in general, I think that a missing piece of the puzzle in the discussion of relating to characters/stories and/or getting emotionally invested in them is how people treat others as a result of this phenomenon. The discussion about “how much projection is too much projection” and “how much emotional investment is too much investment” is not, in my opinion the one that we should be having. Too often, I see people discussing some pretty awful entitlement and nastiness from fans, and then implying that people relating to characters “too much” or being “too emotional” about the story are the key source of the problem.

The issue with that conclusion is simple: feelings and actions can be, and often are, separate. For every person sending unsolicited messages to creatives about how killing off their blorbo made them suicidal and how it’s all their fault, there are five people who are genuinely hurt and distressed by the loss of the character who are grieving non-confrontationally in their own spaces. Emotional reactions are automatic, and due to a person’s individual history, personality, or neurology, they may be triggered by something that another person would deem inconsequential. In addition, there is nothing wrong with getting emotional over a story or character or relating to them heavily — this is actually the expressed goal of some pieces — so to get upset at people for seeing a bit of themselves in a character or being moved by a story is to deny the power of centuries of storytelling. The reality of the situation is that a fair number of fandom goers make an active choice to behave badly when they don’t enjoy an aspect of a story or become uncomfortable, and with everyone having access to one another 24/7 due to the reach of social media, more people are exposed to and caught in the crosshairs of these individuals. This isn’t to say that people being awful to each other over fiction isn’t a problem, but rather, that it isn’t a new one and that it has been amplified to an alarming degree over the past decade or so.

It should be noted that social media often rewards loud, confrontational behavior with virality, meaning that the guy calling everyone nasty names over the latest episode of a tv show is going to be put in front of many more sets of eyeballs than the person just quietly saying that they weren’t a fan of that particular episode. The access that fans have to creators shouldn’t be overlooked, either. Creators have gone from pretending fandom didn’t exist when they weren’t treating it like a seedy underbelly to actively courting fandoms as a marketing strategy. In 2005, a nasty fan might call a show runner a rat bastard for breaking up their OTP via a creepy, angry letter. Nowadays, that same fan can find that show runner on Twitter and explain exactly how they were born out of rodent wedlock for the entire world to see.

Tl;dr - The issue with fandoms isn’t people being emotional or relating “too hard”, it’s people being nasty and being able to do so in front of an audience.

❤️35 OTP Questions❤️

For Valentine's Day (yay!). My favorite idiots in love. Thought I'd do something for the occasion, so here's a bit more on the couple....

Credit: The Moon Witch

1. Who fell for the other one first?

Meti, and hard. Rocket wasn't long soon after, but Meti knew from the second he made eye contact with Rocket that he was the one. When Rocket screamed at him and called him an idiot seconds later? Well, that just sealed the deal.

2. Who made the first move?

Hard to tell since they both went in for a kiss at the same time, but I'm going to give this one to Meti again since he greeted Rocket at the door with apology flowers. He already was making an attempt to shoot his shot, whether he realized it or not. The first "official" move though was them kissing one another, so that's a tie there.

3. Describe their first date.

That's also questionable, and they can't agree on it! But their first one after the dust settled and Meti's home world was safe was a simple, albeit somewhat awkward once since they'd also accidentally gotten married during that time.

4. What’s a perfect date for them?

They can really be homebodies! Perfect date would probably be getting takeout and watching old movies together. Meti would wear something maybe a little too fancy for the occasion, but they have to do something with *all* that makeup. If they aren't at home, trips to nature-themed places are always a hit with the two, like beaches and forest preserves.

5. What do physical trait do they love the most about each other?

Rocket's a solid 11 out of 10 in terms of looks on Fauntera, so for Meti it's a lot of things, from his sharper features to fluffy tail. But it's ultimately his eyes. Rocket loves Meti's shoulders, even though Meti hates how they're a little too broad for some of his dresses. Rocket also likes making Meti's claws retract in and out on his paw when they're in bed together, so his hands are really up there.

6. What personality trait do they love the most about each other?

Meti loves the kindness Rocket has underneath his brashness. Rocket loves how accepting Meti is, and how truly curious he is about the world around him.

7. What’s one way their personalities complement one another? (Is it opposites attract or are they pretty similar?)

Oh, I like this question! There's a lot of ways in which they're opposite, in terms of surface stuff at least. But when you dig down deeper, they click with one another, like pieces of a puzzle. They're good at filling in gaps for one another. They do also have a similar sense of humor. so that goes pretty far in terms of making them work.

8. What are some things they don’t agree on?

There's some butting of heads when it comes to their kids, although they do their best to talk it out with one another and remain respectful. Rocket also doesn't always agree with some of Meti's traditions, or at least is confused by them, and Meti sometimes thinks Rocket acts a little bit too much on emotion without looking at something from all sides.

9. What is each member’s love language?

For Meti it's gift giving. He's from a culture that didn't have a lot, so being able to be a provider for his love is a huge thing for him. It can be anything from tools Rocket's been eyeing to buying him some new clothes. For Rocket it's acts of service. This can be in the form of fixing up a squeaky door that's been driving Meti nuts, to making sure Meti's prosthetic leg is functioning as best it can.

10. What’s each member flirting style?

Meti's a lot more outwardly flirty, with double entendres and swaying his hips just so, but Rocket is no slouch, either. His flirting can come in the form of something as simple as the way he looks at Meti from across the room. He'll also riff off Meti if they begin flirting. Peter has begged more than once for them to knock it off.

11. Who’s the bigger tease?

Giving this one to Rocket. He knows it drives Meti nuts in a good way, so he's happy to tease the poor guy a little bit while they're out, or even in bed. Meti's happy to be the cat chasing the mouse here.

12. What is their favorite place to kiss the other? (Cheek, hand, closed eyelid, neck, nose, etc.)

Rocket likes kissing Meti on the tip of their nose, although he’d explode from the embarrassment if this were discovered; Meti loves the crook of Rocket's neck.

13. What was the most surprising thing they learned about one another once they started dating?

I had to think on this one! I think for Meti it was how soft Rocket was-- The dude cried at least once every movie AND in the Christmas special. You can't tell me he isn't a little bit of a softie underneath the hard exterior. Rocket was shocked at how much Meti was hiding of himself for fear of judgment. Anything from the small things, like what movies he watched, to bigger things like his accent and gender expression. The good news? Meti was able to open a lot more, and Rocket was given a place where he knew he wouldn't be punished for being "soft".

14. Do they like public display of affection?

Yes, but Rocket can sometimes use it as a form of messing with Peter. He's still Rocket, he's still a dick when he wants to be. :,) So yeah, they both are into it when they're not doing Guardian stuff. When it's a mission you wouldn't even know they were dating. They need those boundaries there so they don't look more like targets to their nemesis. Outside of that, though? Sure, they're holding hands. Oh, Quill is around? Rocket will slide rightttt onto Meti’s lap. Meti’s too wrapped up by what Rocket’s doing and plays along every time, whether he realizes it or not.

15. Are they jealous/possessive of each other?

Ah. This is a little more complicated. Meti still deals with self-esteem issues, so there are moments when he feels a little insecure if someone is looking at Rocket. He won't make a big show of it, though. He's getting better by adopting the mindset of "ah. You think my husband is beautiful? Me too. :3 Bask in his beauty. I'm so lucky!". It's a process! Rocket has absolutely been a bit jealous at some of Meti’s exes, but he'll be less outright hurt. That being said he'll play more into his jealousy because he know Meti is kinda into that. He does it for *both* of them. <3

16. Can they sit side by side without touching the other or are they handsy? (lacing fingers, touching knees, etc.)

They can for the sake of professionalism, but it isn't the preference. There's a lot of small interactions with one another. It isn't a big deal for one to lean over the other for something or nudge the other to get attention.

17. How do they comfort each other?

It can be a lot of physical touch, hugging, sitting quietly together, etc.. Just allowing time for either of them to fall apart and come back together once they're ready.

18. Who’s the primary protector of the two?

This is an interesting one, and it reminds me of a Tumblr post I had sent to me about the "sword and sheath" couple. Rocket is the sword, the outwardly ready to fight one, but even a sword needs protecting. Meti is that; he's the one to protect the normal protector. So while Rocket is louder, Meti is the one to quietly make sure no bodies are found. No one bothers his husband.

19. Who is more sentimental?

I feel like they *both* are in their own ways, even if it's shown differently. They both match another nicely in this regard. There's a lot of meaningful songs, gifts, etc. from both sides.

20. Who worries more?

Meti is the more "loud" worrier, and will over-analyze. Rocket will quietly stew from his side.

21. What articles of clothing do they "borrow" from one another?

Usually bathrobes. Other than that, Rocket has a collection of Meti’s old shirts that he likes sleeping with. Meti is never getting these back, which they are 1000% fine with.

22. Who is the big/little spoon?

Meti is the big spoon, Rocket the little one. Again, Rocket would die a thousand deaths if this were to be spoken about in public.

23. What reminds each of their partner?

There's certain flowers that remind Rocket of Meti. So it's a lot of visual things. For Meti it's more smells/feel. So like, the smell of motor oil or certain fur textures. And of course there's songs that remind them of one another. They each have ever-evolving playlists.

24. Are they sentimental about gifts they’ve received from each other?

Yes! Rocket’s favorite thing is the gift of Meti figuring out his birthday (with science!). Meti’s favorite is the engagement ring Rocket made with a bit of a machete that had been a gift from Meti’s parents. Meti had been stabbed with this same blade, and he'd thought everything from his parents was gone.

25. What holidays do they like?

Rocket makes a big deal about birthdays because he went so long without one. Meti loves that he can celebrate the holidays of his home planet, Fauntera. Notttt a big fan of Christmas, but Meti deals with it for the kids. Rocket is becoming more and more a fan of Halloween.

26. What happens if one of them gets sick?

So they've been through minor and major stuff at this point! Rocket has a rough time asking for help, but Meti isn't above getting reinforcements (aka: Nebula and Drax) to help convince Rocket to relax. Meti refuses to admit when he's ill, and Rocket will physically carry him to bed if they need it.

27. Can they stay up all night just talking?

Definitely. They've done it before, for both good and bad reasons. The first night they were together, actually, Meti thought they'd be sleeping together but they ended up pouring out one another’s hearts to each other. This is kinda when Meti knew he was screwed and this wasn't going to be a one-time thing. <3

28. Do they get along with each other’s friends and family?

Meti and Nebula had a very rough patch :,) She didn't think he was good enough for Rocket, and Meti honestly agreed with her! Rocket didn't like some of the new friends Meti met on Knowhere, and yeah, it was with good reason. Now things have settled down a lot more.

29. How likely are they to have fur babies? How many and what kind?

You'd think they would, but nothing permanent. Lots of fostering though. The reason being that between family and work there wouldn't be time for this. That, and Meti’s definition of "fur baby" would include things like crocodiles. Rocket had to put his foot down early to prevent a potential issue where they were eaten by a "fur baby".

30. Are they interested in marriage? Why or why not?

So, uh. Hosa clocked them as having cold feet, and that's part of the reason for his "blessing". He knew these two would shuffle their feet if he didn't work quick. I feel like it would've gotten put off otherwise. Here they married within a few days' of knowing one another. They then worked backwards, dating and getting to know one another better, and then had another wedding to basically cement that yes, they loved one another and were in this together. Neither of them were really against it otherwise, I just don't think it would have been on one another’s radar as high, or they would have been at different points. I think there would have been a lot of Meti longingly sighing at wedding dresses at one point otherwise.

31. Are they interested in having children? Why or why not?

Lollllll so this is a thing. Meti doesn't even think kids are on the table until he falls in love with Rocket. Rocket was going back and forth on it -- Excited! Then worried. He thinks about the ethics of him having children a lot, and worries. After the dust settled they did start having kids. They currently have Groot, their adopted sharklike alien daughter Rook, and Skye, their biological daughter (yay science!). Meti also has a biological son, Lir, but uh. That's a special surprise for later for them.

32. What do they do turn the other on/put them in the mood?

Meti will wear something special that they know Rocket will love -- whether it's perfume or clothing. Rocket will start to get flirier and lay on more compliments. Meti will also brush his tail over Rocket’s legs, which is like first base on his home planet :,).

33. What is their sex life like?

Another question I like! I feel like I could do more questions on this just because I find it interesting. :") It's healthy, that's for certain. Meti takes the lead, and also is a self-proclaimed Dom. Rocket likes that he has an area of life where he's respected, but doesn't always have to make decisions, so sub? Sure, yes. Thank God. And he's proud to be a sub. I could do a whole article on his reclaiming the word "bitch" as a point of pride, but that's for another post, and probably will be. Because that and the F-bomb are two words I chose to use VERY carefully from the get-go. Also there's a lot of kink, but to a point. Due to past traumas, there are things neither of them are comfortable with, but BOTH are respectful of this.

34. Do you have other ships that resemble your OTP?

I think they're very Aziraphale and Crowley coded, but that's just me. Others may have a different take. I'd also say Stede and Blackbeard, but that's actually a relationship dynamic reserved for a *different* couple. But that's another story.

35. Choose one song that perfectly describes their relationship.

I had this one brought to my attention and you know what? I agree:

THIS SHOW I SWEAR TO GOD!!

THE PUZZLE PIECES!!!

THE RELATIONSHIPS!!!

THE LINES!!!!

THE RELATIONSHIPS!!!

THE MESSAGES!!!

THE RELATIONSHIPS!!!

I LOVE IT ALL!!!

I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT!!!

Okay okay, I let it finish out without reacting, so we have a LOT to unpack now, but let's go.

This is kind of gonna be in order of events, but the show jumped between perspectives a lot and I'm just gonna talk about each perspective all at once lol.

Okay, so at first, Lydia's random little soundproof room in the lake-house was freaking me the f*ck out, but it wound up working in our favor, so that's good (also as an aside, are she and her family having money problems?? Because she sounded so stressed about the stains (Mason never came back to help clean it up, btw...), and for a girl as extravagant as she is, I wouldn't have anticipated money problems, but I guess that's always the point, right? You never know what's going on behind closed doors.). That said, it does make me wonder if her mom is also a Banshee or something like it? Like, her powers had to come from somewhere, right? Because why would a lake-house, owned by her family, have a random soundproof room with a single record player in it? Sounds like a Banshee room to me...

All of that said, I am very glad that she managed to figure out the code (it's super interesting that Allison's name was the key...maybe because she's the only major pack member already dead?), but I am very not glad that there is a dead pool that has our entire pack (except for Stiles, of course lol) on the list, 'cause...that's not super comforting. Don't love that for us. That'll be fun to fight against. Our list of 117 million problems (to quote Stiles) gets longer and longer by the minute, doesn't it...

However, that was a nice little Lydia and Kira moment, with Kira immediately recognizing that Lydia was Banshee-ing, and her focus shifting from Scott to Lydia very quickly as a result.

Speaking of Kira...

THAT SCIRA SCENE OMG THAT WAS THE CUTEST THING I LOVE THEM SO MUCH I CANNOT!!! <3 <3

Scott and Kira's love is seriously just so wholesome and flirty and heartwarming and adorable and I love relationships like that so much.

The fact that Scott's immediate reaction to Kira mentioning slow dancing is to get up and have her slow dance with him (as an aside, what lunatic only has, like, NINE APPS on their phone Scott what is wrong with you?! XD), and by the BEAUTIFUL reflection on the lake, no less (that shot was GORGEOUS, dude).

The fact that they got all goofily flirty with Scott's beautifully comedic response to Kira's question ("He can slow dance with me another time." XD).

The fact that Scott told Kira he was indistractable, and she immediately made it her goal to get him as distracted as possible (their little smiles at each other the whole time I cannot <3 <3).

The fact that Scott mostly manages to contain himself, but she FINALLY gets him, JUST slightly, because of course she does. ("Nothing." "Then why are your eyes glowing?" *adorable little head shake and smile* “Cheater.")

And then, like, obviously the real distraction came when Liam broke out of the chains, which, as an aside, they did not handle very well at all, but I'll allow it, because they were SO cute, and just holding each other SO sweetly and just SO into each other and I just...

I LOVE SCIRA SO MUCH AHHHHH!!!! MY OTP FOR SCOTT FOREVER AND ALWAYS!! THEY'RE JUST SO PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

And then there's STALIA!!

DUDE!!! THAT SCENE!!! OMG!!! This show makes me love Stalia more and more BY THE MINUTE AHHHH!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT SCENE I SWEAR!!

The fact that Stiles just has such utter confidence and trust in Malia, even as she's trying to come after him.

The fact that Malia is just drowning in pain over the fear of hurting another person that she deeply cares about.

The fact that Stiles refuses to let her fear and anger eat her up the way it is, staying calm and collected and determined to help her anchor herself and not let her be afraid of herself.

The fact that, even as Malia fights the chains, she's so sincerely and closely listening to Stiles, because she loves him, and she trusts him.

The fact that Stiles says he GETS it, because he DOES, because he understands the guilt that comes from hurting someone you care about. He understands what it's like to have been the cause of a loved one's death, and to hate the fact that, no matter how much you try to deny it, a part of you enjoyed that power and control, even in that moment.

The fact that Malia is locking eyes with him, even as her wolf instincts are desperately trying to take over, taking in every word he says.

The fact that Stiles says, with so much confidence and power, that "control is overrated" (because WHAT A F*CKING LINE, DUDE!), and then lets her go.

The fact that Malia lunges for him, but immediately shifts back, and masters that control, because control isn't about power and being fearless--it's about feeling your fear and anger, but also feeling your love, and using that to fuel control.

The fact that Stiles is so proud of her, and so softly moves her hair out of her face, and they just embrace each other with everything they have.

The fact that, even though you can see the small hint of relief that crosses Stiles's face, proving that there was a small part of him that wasn't sure if it would work, he powered through and trusted her, because he really believed he could, and it WORKED.

IT F*CKING WORKED!!

LOVE CONQUERS ALL, DUDE, I SWEAR TO GOD!!!

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE THAT!!!

AND I FREAKING LOVE STALIA SO MUCH!!! THEY SERIOUSLY LOVE AND CARE FOR EACH OTHER SO MUCH AND PUT SO MUCH OF THEIR HEARTS ON THE LINE FOR EACH OTHER AND THEY TRUST EACH OTHER WITH THEIR VERY LIVES AND I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

Okay okay, with the romantic relationships out of the way, let's get to the platonic ones, shall we?

Freaking Derek and Noah, dude!! This team-up is seriously incredible.

I absolutely love how much they trust each other, and I love that they have each other's backs. Like, I appreciate how much Noah trusts Derek's suspicions and instincts ("You nervous makes me nervous."), and I really appreciate how much Derek trusts Noah's input about what they're dealing with (oh boy...this is giving me even more reasons to ship Sterek lol). Also, I absolutely LOVE how many times Derek saved Noah's life in that school (his suspicion about the pool of blood, warning Noah about the axe, and knocking him out of the way when Peter came barreling over), and how well they worked together to take down Mouthless Creepo. Plus, you really have to appreciate the fact that Derek, despite being a f*cking werewolf, did not do what Peter wound up doing, and instead, was willing to have Stilinski arrest him, because, as he so brilliantly said, "We've learned a better way." (also, I kind of appreciate that Noah didn't shoot Peter, probably because he knew Derek would be less than pleased, despite what Peter just did).

That duo has seriously been so great all episode and I really hope we get to see more of them.

And then FREAKING CHRIS ARGENT'S RETURN!! LET'S F*CKING GO!!!

That whole scene with Scott, albeit small, was SOOOO AMAZING OMG!

WHEN I TELL YOU I WAS SO EXCITED WHEN THAT ARROW CAME FLYING IN LIKE--

"How did you know?" "I got your text."

*SCREAMS*

Can we just talk about how freaking AMAZING it is that Chris and Scott are still on such good terms after everything? Like, they started off on the WORST of terms, as we all know, and then Chris's wife’s and eventually daughter's deaths were both indirectly caused by their respective relationships to Scott (I don't blame Scott, just so we're clear, but you know what I mean), but he knows and understands that Scott is struggling just as much as the rest of them, if not moreso, and he's STILL HERE FOR HIM and STILL HELPING HIM, and he was RIGHT THERE TO SAVE THE DAY and he's STILL ON OUR TEAM!

AND THEN THE FACT THAT CHRIS IS SO ACCEPTING OF THIS AND SO HELPFUL I JUST!

"What are you gonna do?" "He's your Beta, Scott. The better question is what are you gonna do?"

CHARACTER GROWTH!! WE LOVE TO SEE IT!!

And THEN, the fact that he says EXACTLY what I was trying to say earlier.

"He doesn't listen to me." "He will if you start using your own words."

LITERALLY!! You EARNED that True Alpha status, Scott, and you earned it by BEING YOU. So BE YOU, because that's all you need to be.

And then just like...

The fatherly affection and support that was present in that whole conversation. That was so soft and so beautiful and OH MY GOD I LOVED THAT WHAT A GREAT WAY TO BRING CHRIS ARGENT BACK INTO THE SEASON!!

I really hope we get to see more of those two!!

And last, but CERTAINLY not least, we get our Alpha and our Beta.

LET'S!

F*CKING!

GO!

THAT'S what I'm talking about Scott.

You listen, and you coach, and you stay kind and supportive and empathetic, and then you lead by example, because THAT'S what you're all about.

The way that Liam just starts breaking down, because he's scared, and he's hurting, and he feels guilty, and he doesn't want to let his parents down again, and he feels like he's a monster, not even just from the bite, but because of who he is.

The way that Scott just GETS it, because he's BEEN there, and he knows what Liam's going through, but Stiles didn't let him go through it alone, and Scott's not gonna let Liam go through it alone, either.

AND THE LINES!

AND THE SWELLING MUSIC!

AND THE CAMERA WORK!

The way that Scott just stands up with all the confidence in the world, because this is how he knows how to lead.

The way Chris watches on, a small little proud smile making it's way onto his face, because THAT'S the Scott he knows (and loves).

"You're not a monster."

The way that Liam turns to look at him, fear and guilt turning into something more awed and determined.

"You're a werewolf. Like me."

AND THEN WE GET THE EYE GLOW!

AND WE GET THAT LITTLE LIAM SMIRK!!

AND OUR ALPHA AND BETA PAIRING IS BORN AND THIS IS GONNA BE AMAZING AHHH!!!

GOD that was amazing!!

WHAT an episode!!

I seriously feel like the relationships in this show are just so special and truly something else, and that entire sequence of events just proved my point.

I LOVE THIS SHOW SO FREAKING MUCH I SWEAR!! <3 <3

I have no idea what plans my family has tonight, but I'm sure I'll find the time to watch at least one more episode, and if not, I definitely will be later this week, fear not. XD <3

I LOVE ALL OF THESE AMAZING ROMANCES AND FRIENDSHIPS AND FAMILIAL RELATIONSHIPS SO MUCH!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

(Yeah that about covers it. I LOVE ALL OF THESE CHARACTERS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIPS TO EACH OTHER SO MUUUUCH!! <3)

‘I’ve been wondering about what you’re up to, not for the first time, not for the last time’.

WARNINGS: Heartbreak, Impaling oneself in the shoulder, attempted suicide, hurt/comfort, blood, eventual happy ending, fluff and kisses.

(very unrealistic, honestly, but I wanted to write something where they saved Jaskier and told him they loved him. I do not condone suicide and this is a piece of fiction.)

Pairing: OTP of the Three, Yennefer, Jaskier and Geralt.

Word count: 1,540.

The sky was purple, and all it did was remind Jaskier of her eyes.

The eyes that had looked right into his when he walked into the room, and saw his Witcher, and his Witch, encircled around each other.

Love, found in the midst of war, and all he could do was stumble backwards. Yennefer had said nothing, her hair falling down her shoulders, mingling with the Witcher's as Geralt had leaned down, a single kiss to her bare shoulder. The promise of a future together, the promise of more to come.

Jaskier's stomach had gone cold, he'd realized; was it the temperature of the open door behind him, the dusk falling around him, or was it the alcohol souring within his stomach?

"Are you coming inside or are you just going to stand there?" Geralt grumbled, and Jaskier lifted his hand.

Grasped the latch. Pulled it closed.

He turned towards the town. His footsteps heavy in the snow, his heart broken inside his chest. If he concentrated hard enough, he could feel it sliding through his ribcage to the bottom of his feet. It's true enough, they were perfect for each other. A strong couple, one that didn't need a bard to follow them around, trying to woo each of them at the same time. It had been... difficult, but Jaskier hadn't expected this, at all.

He had deluded himself, and in doing so, had thought that he could have been the missing puzzle piece. And now, there was nothing-- the vast expanse of cold and darkness, the moon gliding over the horizon, and the iron spikes he was meandering towards.

Jaskier couldn't ignore it-- the tremble in his fingers, the darkening purple of his nails, as he reached down and hefted a large spike onto his shoulder. It was heavy, but he barely felt it-- his feet carrying him further onto the frozen tundra.

As he went, Jaskier wondered: would they search for him? Would they cry, or would they tell each other, it was for the best? That they had seen it coming? No one, not even the bard himself, could have predicted how it felt to have his heart fall apart.

But when one fills it up full of love for others, it's bound to happen. There’s no love left for oneself.

Jaskier had no idea how long he had walked-- only that the lights of the town were far behind him, and it was dark, but for the moon overhead.

In the silver light, he brought the spike down, crunching through the light crust of ice, and deep into the snow. It was double ended, supposed to be a large nail of some sort.

All Jaskier cared about was that it was big enough to impale him, straight through his weeping heart.

He swayed on his feet, the alcohol in his system making him unsteady. He shuffled a little to the left, calculating; if he fell from this height, surely, it would go straight through his heart.

Closing his eyes, Jaskier thought of them; once more. Just once more. Yennefer and Geralt; the loves of his life.

They would have an autumn wedding, he thought; where the leaves might swirl into their hair, and Geralt would lean down for a kiss.

He might take Yen to Kaer Morhen, which is where they were all three supposed to be going. But Jaskier should have gone to Lettenhove. He should have stayed away, and ignored the pulling on his heart. But he never had been able to stay away.

Stifling a sob, he opened his eyes again-- turning around, he fell backwards.

The sharp, resounding pain made him scream, as the spike tore through his back. But his heart did not seize, nor did he stop breathing.

Garbled, wheezing through the sensation, Jaskier turned his head. The spike had gone through his back, and had instead impaled itself in his upper left shoulder.

Cursing, Jaskier tried to raise himself up-- but the pain in his left arm, the protesting crack that told him something was broken, made him slump back to the icy ground.

He could feel blood leaking out of the hole, and wondered how long it would take for him to die.

But it was snowing, and Jaskier could feel-- feel that his time was near. Sticking out his tongue, he childishly licked at the snowflakes. A feel of euphoria filled his lungs; the feeling that one might have as death was close, comforting him.

A flash of gold behind his closed lids made him wince-- as did the sound of running footsteps.

“No,” he groaned weakly, opening his eyes. He didn’t want anyone to find him still alive.

Out of the blizzard, came two shadows. Torches flickering over their furious faces.

“Jaskier,” Geralt whispered, his hand warm on Jaskier’s frozen cheeks. “What have you done to yourself?”

“Jaskier?!” Frantic, not cool and in control as she always was. Yennefer’s magic, thrumming over him, the pain was blessedly gone. “Geralt, he’s bleeding out.” For some reason, Jaskier thought, she sounded scared.

“Jaskier, I’ll have to pull.” Geralt said, and Jaskier whimpered, turning his head away from them.

“Go, please,” he wheezed, and Yennefer grasped his cold hand in her warm one.

“We’re not leaving you here. Now, Geralt.” Her voice was as sharp as a whip, and it cracked through the air, as Geralt slid his arms underneath Jaskier, and lifted.

Blood and flesh screamed together in a soundless, tuneless, flat note of agony -- and Jaskier cried out as he was hefted into Geralt’s strong arms. The ache in his shoulder burned now, and he moaned as Yennefer wound her scarf about the wound as best she could.

No more words were spoken as they tramped through the snow, as Geralt ignored Jaskier’s questing fingers that tried to cling to him, and red slipped out of him, painting the snow a sacrilegious color.

Jaskier must have passed out-- surely, he had, because when he awoke, he was warm, and surrounded by two people, their worried faces gazing down at him.

“What happened?” Jaskier asked quietly, sipping from the water Geralt offered him.

“You’ve lost of blood, you shouldn’t be speaking,” Yennefer replied, and Geralt hummed in agreement, a firm hand pressing down on Jaskier’s uninjured shoulder as he tried to sit up.

“Certainly shouldn’t be going anywhere, but we’ve never been able to keep our bard from speaking.” Geralt said.

“Do you want to tell us why you were out in the snow, drunk and bleeding out?” Yennefer pressed Jaskier.

Jaskier shrugged. “Thought it would be best to... how do I say, decrease the surplus population of bards?”

A quiet as still as death fell around them, and then Geralt stood, moving to sit next to Jaskier, Yennefer perching at the end of the bed.

“Jaskier. Did you go out there... because you think we’re in love with each other?” Geralt queried, and Jaskier shrugged.

“It’s not often that a love triangle works out, is it?’“ He said listlessly, wincing at the sorrow in Yennefer’s eyes. Or was it pity?

“Jaskier. We invited you in, we didn’t tell you to leave,” Yennefer said. “We were going to tell you, last night, but you ran away and we couldn’t find you.”

“Now you’re just trying to make me feel better.” Jaskier muttered.

“Jaskier, if we tell you we love you, will you believe us then?” Geralt said, his hand reaching out for Yennefer. She came, and they were on either side of Jaskier, their hands in his lap, their other hands close to him.

“I certainly would... well, I might.”

Geralt kissed him first. It was gentle, a mere brush of his lips against Jaskier’s kiss, but Jaskier felt effervescent-- alive.

When Yennefer kissed his hand, all his fingers singularly, he shuddered from want, from the reverent touch.

And when they each kissed his mouth, questing to capture his mouth first, three sets of lips joining, he wept of joy.

“What a foolish bard I am, making assumptions,” he joked weakly,

“And yet, you’re our bard.” Geralt said simply, before he was fussing and tucking the covers up around Jaskier, Yennefer batting his hands away.

“We can move him to the big bed when he’s better,” she said, a devilish glint in her eye.

Jaskier snuggled into Geralt’s side as Yennefer slipped behind him, and curled around him.

“Seems like our lark likes to be close,” Geralt hummed, his fingers tracing soft spirals on Jaskier’s back.

“I almost lost you both, let me be,” Jaskier huffed, and Geralt chuckled.

“If you ever do that again--” he began, voice deep and roiling as swords smashing together, but Yennefer groaned.

“Go to sleep, Geralt. You’ve been wanting to hold him in your arms for months, just do it already.”

Geralt grinned, and shifted down, careful of Jaskier’s bandaged arm, and then Jaskier was held by his lovers.

And he never left their side again. They wintered at Kaer Morhen, and Jaskier was left alone to compose them songs, and he wrote them each the most beautiful ballad.

But the tale of ‘Spike in his Heart (or rather, his shoulder)’ became one that everyone asked the Sandpiper to play.

Blog Owner Profile

Hello everyone! The name’s Ezra (aka Arwen). Welcome to my strange little corner of the internet, where I post whatever comes to mind, usually ideas for original creative projects and whichever fictional characters I happen to be most obsessed with.

General Info

I’m a 23 year old transgender man (currently pre-transition, but presenting as male and using male pronouns). I’m also demisexual and panromantic, meaning that I’m attracted to all genders, but need a bit of time to get to know someone first. I’m half Indian, specifically from the Kashmir region, but was born and raised (and currently living) in the UK. My personality type is INFJ, my star sign is Cancer and according to the Chinese zodiac, my spirit animal is a dragon, which explains my lifelong affinity for them.

My interests are mythology/folklore, fantasy, sci-fi and horror media, cinema, creative writing, animation, classic literature, history, heavy metal, zoology, art and fandoms. There’s nothing I enjoy more than creating original characters inspired by myths and legends from around the world, watching an obscure cult classic movie or gushing about fictional villains.

I am a survivor of complex PTSD, which I am receiving medical and psychiatric support for. I’m also neurodivergent (dyspraxia specifically) so if things seem a little disorganised here that’s probably why. I tend to be rather shy at first, but come out of my shell around those I trust.

I recently got a degree in film and screenwriting and am constantly brainstorming new ideas for film and tv scripts. I’m also a part time artist, both digital and traditional, using my iPad, sketchbook and a single stick of charcoal to make something intriguing.

Fandoms

I’m into multiple fandoms, including but not limited to:

Star Wars

The Lord of the Rings

Faust

Cuphead

The Dark Crystal

All Tomorrows

Crash Bandicoot (the most recent one)

Basically, as long as something is fantasy, sci-fi or even horror themed and has unforgettable villains, I will be obsessed with it. I have quite a few OTPs as well. ObiMaul (Obi-Wan Kenobi/Maul), Angbang (Sauron/Melkor) and Faustopheles (Faust/Mephistopheles).

Fictional Others

I have a number of F/Os (fictional others) who I like to think of as a hypothetical family/brotherhood. Writing about them as if we’re all living together in a gothic castle is incredibly therapeutic.

A complete list of them and their different roles is as follows:

Amsel Bloodmoon (From my original gothic novel project Blood Moon Sky). He’s gay, he’s a goth, a dhampir (half vampire half human) and I consider him to be my beloved boyfriend. We’ve been together since late October last year and deeply in love.

Sauron (From the Lord of the Rings). I am so utterly smitten with this beautiful man, he’s basically like my celebrity crush in a weird way. Even though he’s a bit puzzled by it, he certainly enjoys the positive attention.

Feral Opress (From Star Wars: The Clone Wars). I am obsessed with this adorable little Zabrak. Heck, he’s actually the character that kickstarted my “career” on tumblr in the first place! He’s my sweet baby boy and I love showering him with affection.

Mephistopheles (From Faust and other pieces of folklore). My artistic muse and a character who I almost consider to be a mentor. This charming demon is also the focal character of most of my original intellectual properties, which I have tied together into a mythos/multiverse that I call The MephistoVerse.

The Devil (From Cuphead). He’s basically like one of those cats that demand affection 24/7 and of course he always gets it because he’s so adorably pompous and floofy.

Ratbag the Coward (From Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor and Middle Earth: Shadow of War). He’s a sweet dork of an orc who’s like a brother to me. Constantly coming up with harebrained schemes and being the closest thing to a troublemaker the household has.

Dr Hans Friedrich (From an obscure YouTube channel called Rocky ASMR). An evil scientist who lives in the basement and totally isn’t planning to make zombies for world domination. Underneath his eccentric demeanour, however, Friedrich really just wants to be loved.

Koroviev (From my absolute favourite novel, The Master And Margarita). A trickster demon who’s always cracking jokes and joining in on Ratbag’s pranks. He always knows how to make us all laugh.

Gabriel Belmont (From Castlevania: Lords of Shadow). Despite being a rather moody vampire, he’s still part of the brotherhood and partakes in our various adventures. He needs a hug (and frequently gets them from me).

Ulysses the Dragon (From various projects within the MephistoVerse). The very first OC I ever created, 14 years ago, Ulysses is a green dragon who’s as loyal as a dog and as smart as a corvid. He’s pretty much been a lifelong companion and I love him to bits.

Dr Neo Periwinkle Cortex (From Crash Bandicoot). As if one evil scientist wasn’t enough, Cortex is the most recent F/O of mine. He is simply adorable and the rest of us can’t stop fawning over him. Although I dread to think what he and Friedrich are conspiring about.

Writing Projects

I am the creator/owner of the following intellectual properties:

The DragonSoul Trilogy. Although purely existing in script form, these are intended to be a trilogy of 2-D animated dark fantasy films focusing on the rivalry between Mephistopheles and Stardust, a dragon/human fair folk who owes the demon his soul.

Pandæmonium. A sitcom focusing on Satan and his fellow demons becoming social media influencers, with disastrous consequences. A combination of satire and slapstick. Very loosely based on Paradise Lost.

The Book of Buyan. A graphic novel about two intrepid sorcerers going on a quest to find the soul of a powerful necromancer.

The Varkaus Mythos. A nine-volume series of fantasy novels set almost entirely in the fictional realm of Varkaus. Ancient prophecies, barbarian orcs riding armoured griffins and interdimensional portals await.

Blood Moon Sky. Gothic novel divided into four parts, exploring some original vampire lore and the backstory of the ancient Bloodmoon lineage, a prophecy surrounding the seventh son of a seventh son, a romance between a dhampir and a human and a mysterious tragedy that has broken the vampires apart.

The Secret Life of Cuthbert Wetherby. A surreal animated short film about the Victorian folkloric figure Spring-Heeled Jack and his double life as the upstanding gentleman Cuthbert Wetherby and the infamous Terror of London.

Little Sunshine & Friends. A four-episode miniseries spin-off of DragonSoul, featuring Mephistopheles and his henchdemons getting up to all kinds of crazy antics.

Mythology All-Stars. An anthology series with each episode devoted to a different set of myths and legends from around the world and original stories featuring beloved characters such as Anansi, Sun-Wukong, Beowulf and some more obscure ones like Suur Töll and Arawn.

I, Darkswan. An experimental short horror film containing allegorical depictions of humanity, good and evil, life and death and a seriously unreliable narrator.

With the exception of Blood Moon Sky, these projects are all connected and are part of The MephistoVerse, with Mephistopheles of course playing a crucial role in the plots, or at least encountering the protagonists in some way or another. I, Darkswan is a bit of an outlier, as it is a story written by one of the characters within the MephistoVerse so there’s almost a kind of Inception thing going on.

Please bear it in mind that the vast majority of these projects currently only exist in the pre-production/planning stage. Feel free to ask me about them but if you’re going to create any content based on them, please tag and/or credit me.

Miscellaneous

My top 10 favourite films (in no particular order) are:

The Dark Crystal

The Princess Bride

Tetsuo: The Iron Man

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

The Wind In The Willows (Cosgrove Hall)

The Lord of the Rings trilogy

The Thief and The Cobbler

Beowulf

The Producers

Faust (F.W. Murnau)

Honourable mention goes to Monty Python and the Holy Grail

My favourite places in the UK are Glastonbury, Sheffield, Glasgow, Buxton and the Natural History Museum in London. My favourite food is a döner kebab. I might be slightly addicted to bubblegum soda. My favourite bands/musical artists are Nightwish, Starset, Rammstein, From Ashes To New, Written By Wolves, The Veer Union and Enya.

My favourite visual artists are Jacek Yerka, Zdzisław Beksiński, Vladimir Kush, Rob Gonsalves and Louis Wain. Other people who serve as sources of inspiration include Guillermo Del Toro, Vincent Price, Ralph Bakshi, William Blake and Shakespeare.

Although I was raised Muslim, I’ve recently found my place as both a Unitarian Universalist and a devotee of Lord Shiva. I love learning about different religions and philosophies in general, it’s always a fascinating eye-opener.

My askbox is always open! 💖

*whispers discreetly* by the way, I do frequently write explicit content here. Thou hath been warned. Minors, Begone.

1, 4, 9, and 13 from the Salty Ask List

im assuming this is for apex

1.) What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get?

ok so there's a lot of ships i hate for an active reason but as for a ship i simply do not get. revenant x ash. like they're both simulacrums i guess. is that it?

i guess i just don't get the specific way REDDIT likes revenant x ash. they seem to think that ash would be all tsundere for him like im sorry are we talking about the same character

4.) Do you have a NoTP in your fandom? Are they a popular OTP?

i hate several ships but i'll just list the 3 i hate the most. life//tane, crypt//age and crypt//son. the straightie ships are like moderately popular for straightie ships ig but crypt//age is everywhere and its like. they're like that one post about straight women's first gay ship LMAO

9.) Most disliked character(s)? Why?

rev and caustic r obvious answers so i'll name 3 others. Fuse because he's boring and obnoxious and kinda contributes nothing except being BH's love interest and the reason Maggie joins. like i feel like you could cut Fuse out of apex entirely and with minimal rewrites everything still functions the same. He just feels really irrelevent. tbh i didn't hate him until the past few seaons when Fuse/hound started really ramping up and I couldn't escape seeing him which just made me more annoyed every time I saw him. overexposure ig

hate mirage cuz he hogs so much screentime and has like 3 character traits the writers bring up over and over without doing anything new so people can go AUGGH MIRAGE SADDEST CHARACTER EVER 🥺🥺🥺 and yall somehow fall for it when its the same piece of info literally every time. like how many times do they need to remind you evelyn has dementia. give him a storyline already. "Mirage sad because mom forget" is not a character arc yall have been doing this for like 12 seasons now come up with something new

then finally. Wattson. i have written several posts about her so im gonna be short but she's SOOO terribly written and such a shit person which like, i LOVE me some terrible petty bitches like loba. but loba being a terrible petty bitch feels like its on purpose and wattson being a terrible petty bitch is on accident and the writers bend over backwards to make her the cute uwu do no wrong girl all the time and it's SO exhausting like let her have character flaws and maybe have someone acknowledge she's made mistakes???? 😭

edit: crypto!! 13.) unpopular opinion about he.

i have two: 1. he is kind of jacked under that jacket. he is not a twink. he has muscles. not like fuse or gibraltar, and he doesn't have shredded abs like seer and octane, but he's built after years of working out and when he wears a tight t-shirt, you can See. Percieve Them. and 2. he has ADHD (and a paranoia disorder).

i know the more popular hc for him is autistic which is VALID but i personally read him more as ADHD who developed a paranoia disorder due to his circumstances and both of those things combined are why he's so fidgety and messes around with his jacket and puzzle cube a lot

#not tagging this one cuz its mostly just hate

I hc that sero and mina are exes, but left each other on good terms - their still besties

When he starts dating you, there is no beef between you and her, but she gossips about him to you. Especially when you got into an argument w/ him and you both be talking shit about him 😭

There were a few holes in her and sero's relationship. They were like puzzle pieces forced to connect with the wrong pair, creating such an unnatural look. However, she's relieved that he finally found his true, missing piece that could make the image beautiful.

literally why is this the biggest brain headcanon EVER????????? like... i haven't seen such a ... such a ARHGHRHJJFSDFH *chef's kiss* idea about sero is a FAT minute. this literally.... is perfect for him imo.

just to add on... i'm just imagining Sero and Mina being that couple who had better chemistry BEFORE they were dating. Like, literally everyone's OTP, always lowkey flirting, even they too thought it would work out ... only to realize that they're actually super incompatible when it comes to real bf/gf stuff. That's why it ends kinda peacefully, probably bc they just get to a point where they realize they still act like friends even as partners (kissing doesn't feel RIGHT, you know???).

but yes! i love Mina gossiping with you about him!!! about the way he kicks his pants off at night or leaves toothpaste spit in the sink asdjlkhfjkasd. She probably even tries to sneak in hints that he likes you BEFORE you start dating. Maybe even randomly befriending you if she hasn't been introduced yet, just because she knows what the signs are (and sero is like smh... cuz he's embarrassed she can tell LOL.......)

but it's a really great friendship🥺🥺🥺 between you and her and him and her. she's so protective of you both, doesn't want sero to hurt you (she'll text him when you're fighting, telling him not to be an ass). but also has her hawk eyes on just in case you do him dirty (which i know you wouldn't, tho).

it's berry sweet!!! she def gets a special seat and your wedding LOL. as bridesmaid and groomsman<333

#sero #lmaooo sero and mina are that couple that are ride or die but argue so frequently #just all the time arguing #and neither of them know why bc they do like the other person #and then its like oh. they just don't love each other and are basically forcing themselves too #the way you put it was perfect anon #and it's probably SO mutual #i always think about that one scene in ... uhhh i forget what it's called #zombie loan?????#by peach pit #and the main girl dates the scary man #and after one date theyre like: 'friends?' 'yeah friends. this date sucked' LOOOL #thats sero and mina after trying for months #anyway so cute asdjflaljsdfjk wahhh #caitie things #anon thoughts #anon
