starter call
phastos had built a life. not like the things he had crafted out of thin air on the domo but something that took time and crafting. the rise and fall of nations could not compare to how special his new life had become. he rubbed the back of his neck with his land, trying not to meet sersi’s gaze. out of all of them she had always loved earth best. as if it was second nature, so easy to the untrained eye to see. it had taken him longer to forgive the world for their atrocities. he cleared his throat. “ i don’t do that anymore. ” he looked down at his hands. rough with the work he had put in. with what he had done without his powers. then after a long moment. “ even if we tried - could we even stop it ? ”

。・*・゚☆ time, it is such a strange thing in a life of war and fighting. her heart and head radiate such love and such a want for peace she aches each day that passes. her solace in her marriage is slowly becoming marred with a shift in Anakin’s demeanor as time progresses. He appears the same, his weight and features but she can sense it. She is sure Obi-Wan can as well but has his own confidences in her husband.
She loves him. To the edges of the galaxy and back. She would not have married him if she did not, and she would not have allowed a breach the the jedi code if she knew it would lead to this but she now fears the core of his destruction is coming from her. Hand raises to her stomach for only a moment. No one knows yet, and no one will not for a bit longer. There is only a singular person in who she can confide this in and so she requested a meeting. Somewhere quiet where they would remain safe and could dine in peace.
❝ i apologize to pull your from important things. but with such insanity i have hardly been able to speak with Ani. I suppose even those like you and I crave breaks. ❞ She offers a bashful smile at first before it begins to fade. her gaze drifts as a heavy weight begins to center around her. a darkness and a deeper pull towards something sinister. ❝ Ani. ❞ her voice is that of a whisper, a moment of brimming tears before a gentle shake of her head and a look to her friend. ❝ I have a lot I must speak with you about. but i have to request they are kept between us. i hope it does not burden you nor what you do. ❞

@afflaetus didn’t ask for a SAD starter per say, but they’re milkoviches
“ the fuck’s that supposed to mean ? ” brow lays steady, rather than shooting upward the way it does when he’s in a rage. he is oddly still, & it all has to do with the matter at hand. & the lesson’s he’s learned. his sister, someone he loves more than any milkovich has known how to show hurt him. really fucking hurt him. & he wasn’t about to snap & let her turn this shit around on his rambunctious ass. not again. mickey was going to TALK to her. he was going to say his piece & make her listen. & if shit hit the fan, it wasn’t going to be HIS FAULT.

? . . . it will follow you for an eternity. i will shadow you forever. ➥ @afflaetus ( rose the hat )
in the depths of his strained mind, it almost made sense. that place would ALWAYS have a hold on him. he’d never be free, not completely. and it hurt, to realize that, to have someone who all alarm bells in his head told him to run from -- understand, to GET IT. but what she’s offering ? he doesn’t know if he could do it. he doesn’t know if it’d make anything better. his head shakes, predicating his refusal. “ eternity’s too long. ” he already has resigned himself to a slow death, but to deny it on the grounds of POTENTIALLY being rid of the bonds that held him down ? it felt TOO GOOD to be true. but still, really good. he hums, drinking a little more of his amber poison. despite all his inclinations aiming away, he’s still curious. “ what’s the catch ? ”

“ why do you do these terrible things? “ / shang-chi
【 小尚 】 、 @afflaetus 。
terrible : he pauses to muse the word . he remembers a time when he had slaughtered hoardes without regret , the battlefield & his body bathed with drying blood , grime & muck . his deeds had been met with the great veneration of a civilization past . today , he stands abashed in front of his son , an old man out of touch with reality .
it has been a long while since they've talked properly . he knows , for all intents & purposes , that shang chi is grown . yet , he still sees the young , hardened boy that had fled upon the completion of his first mission ( wherein the final tether of the xu family had pulled taut & frayed , before snapping irrevocably ) . where is your hunger ? he wants to ask , but that wouldn't do anything but rip apart the fragile truce between them , after his life had flashed before his eyes in front of the cavern that fateful day . he swallows his words .
he resorts to telling his truth , “ you can’t be satisfied with this . do you not feel the power of the ten rings at your will ? you are destined for something greater , son . 虎父无犬子 。 you cannot grasp a dragon by its horns & go back to being a ... ” nose crinkles ; a swallow of unsavory phrasing , “ a valet . you are not a servant . ”

@afflaetus asked: “…didn’t know where else to go…” padmé
ANGST MEME
The doors to his private chambers automatically click shut behind her, the sound catching his attention; easing him from his meditative stupour. Sluggishly, his gaze shifts to identify his unexpected guest. He sees her; his focus heightening as he processes her fragile state. “ Padmé? ” The Jedi swiftly pulls himself to his feet, rushing to meet her. His hands reach to console her, gripping her shoulders gently between them.
Then she said them, those heartbreaking words. His expression contorts, the emphasized creases in his features radiating empathy, warmth, concern. “ You are always welcome here, ” he reassures her, adjusting his grip to guide her into the room and into a soft seat. “ If there’s anything you ever need, my doors are open to you, Padmé. Now, stay right here while I fetch you a towel. ”

believe in one thing: i won't go away. / Gilgamesh
𝗂𝗍 𝗁𝖺𝖽 𝖻𝖾𝖾𝗇 𝖺 𝗅𝖺𝗉𝗌𝖾 𝗈𝖿 𝗃𝗎𝖽𝗀𝖾𝗆𝖾𝗇𝗍. your mind playing more tricks on you. he had only been gone for half an hour, but in that half an hour, your mind had transported back to the planet centuris six. but you knew in your head it was just your mind playing games, and he was gone. you had screamed, and fought and broken, and he was gone. somewhere in your head, you knew that if he was there, you’d feel safer, for some reason. you had only come to when he had wrapped his arms around you, whispering words of affirmation to your ear. he was trying, and he had succeeded, you were back to yourself, and he has whispered the words in your ear, and your heart swells. you do not move now, instead you move yourself closer, arms tightening around him, and the whiteness in your eyes completely receding. even if you are still a little fragile, you are in command now, clearly fully there.

do you have any updog ? do you know anyone who has any updog ?/ colin
{ @afflaetus ;;
Updog? what was he even trying to say with updog. Was this one of those new terms that the young people were always coming up with nowadays? perhaps some sort of food? a new vampiric drink? honestly, he had no idea. "I... I don't think so? perhaps Laszlo does!" He answered, genuinely trying to help. It was Laszlo the one that was always buying and collecting weird shit after all, maybe he knew more than him about what this 'Updog' was all about.

@afflaetus - lucy wrote on the blackboard,
✏ ❛ cook . present my muse with home - cooked food. ❜
it was a modest spread by his guessing, but it still looked nice, put together in a way that suggested she cared at base level. “ it looks great lucy, you didn’t have to go to all this trouble. ” it still felt . . . awkward at best, even if they’ve had a few conversations it was a little more. dinner with the half - sibling you never knew about until a . . . well, it’s probably best to not go into DETAIL. thinking about what he had now, more of a family than he ever could’ve hoped for ? it was difficult to settle into. and lucy, for all of the resistance he’d felt from her -- at least she was open to the idea of them getting to know each other better. “ i talked to abra about our shared um, gift. it’s difficult around this age, it was hell for me honestly. you just have to make sure she knows, ” he points to his forehead, “ up here that you don’t . . . hold anything against her. it’s hard to control and if she knows she can talk to you, it’ll help a lot.”

@afflaetus said your enemies are my enemies. / gawain
sansa couldn’t help but smile. words were fragile and easily false, but some were true; was it so wrong for her to HOPE that these were and allow herself to take comfort in them? but d o u b t crept in. ❝ there are many of them... it would be no easy task. ❞ adversary showed true colors. she had crossed paths with many who had made vows only to BREAK them while others had never had any intention of keeping them. she hoped sir gawain was not one of them; let him be a knight worthy of songs not scorn. let her be brave enough to place her faith in him.
