oh my god, i'm so sleepy. 11pm, i've written almost 5,000 words today. went to your ao3 for some stucky. got my brain working.

shrinkyclinks - i'm such a slut for shrinkyclinks, and i don't even really ship stucky - bucky really likes toying with steve's nipples with his left hand. like, fucking obsessed. it's almost like he can be more gentle, more delicate, more precise with his metal fingers. it's so bizarre.

steve doesn't say anything bc ,, his nipples are so sensitive. what the fuck. he didnmt know this.

and it's not even like it's intentional, buckt just likes running his hands over steve's chest while they're cuddling, that kinda stufff

and it gets lil stevie so hard. so fucking hard bro.

idk i like the idea of precious lil baby stevie getting all wet n horny bc his daddy touched his chest a couple times. i'm a whore. -🎁

Woo! Go you! Thats a lot, a lot of words! Hell yeah

Shrinkyclinks has us all by the fucking throats doesn't it like, these two, together? Indecent.

Oof yes. I. Am. Here. For. This.

Especially the "it's almost like he can be more gentle, more delicate, more precise with his metal fingers." Huff. I love that. And you're right. Steve would love it too! He'd be all huffy-puffy about it at first but what the hell, it makes Bucky feel better about his arm so why not let it happen y’know?

For me, usually if I write daddy kink into Shrinkyclinks, the dynamic is the other way around BUT I can see them switching occasionally. No hate towards that, we're all whores here. Like if Bucky is still avenging and he comes home from a day of not being able to save everyone/anyone so he feels like being protector over Steve y’know?

Cuddling! This so happens during cuddling. In the same way that Steve likes to run his hands through Bucky's hair because its soft fucking hair and it never fails to make Bucky practically purr Bucky runs his hands down Steve's body, just wanting to know that he's still there y’know?

(Also, consider that if they were cuddling back to chest, Steve's back to Bucky's chest, with Bucky's metal arm draped around Steve's thin chest that Bucky might fall asleep, all warm and cozy with his Steve right there. But. As Bucky dreams he sort of half shifts and squirms a little, dragging the metal surface of his arm over Steve's sensitive nips until Steve is squirming and trying to get away, embarrassed about how hard he is from just this one thing. But, oh boy, does squirming get Steve in even more trouble because Bucky pulls him harder against his chest, not wanting him to go anywhere. And Steve just groans because that puts more pressure and sensation against his nipples, goddamn it.)

Thank you for being a gift, gift anon *blows kiss*

I’m still not finishing this book  Tevinter Nights [I’m reading it super slowly because it’s not as engaging as I would like to... I don’t like short stories. I love deep long novels... so the change of format in the DA books series is working against me] but I’m still processing the short story called The Horror of Hormak. 

[spoilers ahead]

I can’t make much sense from a lore perspective. We know this place is not dwarven Deep Roads merely. It’s the Elven deep roads, something we already saw in the DLC of DAO. We know there is a bunch of lore that, so far it was told to us in small fragments along the previous books and games, they are the Shartan’s people, escaping from the “slavery” of the magisters (according to a Chantry point of view) or Fen’harel guiding them to a freedom underground (a vision that could be more closer to a “radical” Dalish one) We all know that the religious tale of humans and dalish share a lot of disturbing coincidences. So, in this part we have a fragment of something we were expecting to be “dwarven helping elves to escape their slavers”.  Now... the description looks different to that context:

This part was not only exclusively elven, but lacked of Darkspwan. In The Calling, we saw that the only places in the Deep Roads with these characteristics are the small lakes or rivers of pure “blue water” (that after DAI we understood as Titan blood) Is this room imbued in Titan’s blood? is related to titans? We know that before the Tevinter magisters happened, Elves were already in war against Titans. 

This is so impressive. Not because it pictures the elven king/queens or the elven gods as tyrants (we already know that thanks to Felassan and the book The Masked Empire)... it’s because there is reinforcement of the Blight into their people.

This may support one of two ideas I always kept in mind:

Elvhenan crafted the Blight to fight against the titans

, to corrupt them; they are the original “black magisters” in Andraste’s tale. However, this concept is immediately rebutal by my own brain telling me “but hey, the blue water is darkspawn filth immune”. So... there is something I'm missing there. Because there is an impossible clear logic here:

Lyrium =titan blood  (DAI)

Titan blood = rejects darkspawns and keeps the Blight at bay (The Calling, DAI)

Red Lyrium=Normal lyrium that was contaminated with the Blight. (DAI)

So, points 2 should prevent 3 from happening... but maybe magic is involved. Maybe Elvhenan found a way to force the Blight into the titan blood and finally corrupt it in order to win the war they had against them. Maybe it’s a process that takes too many centuries, which would make sense with the Red Ancient Thaigs found in DA2: the red lyrium seems to come from almost forgotten Thaigs. Thags that doesn’t seem to be very dwarven. Maybe “Elven Thaigs”. We can go feral from here.

But resuming the book... we also found hallas with many horns and being rounded, almost insectile, plus darkspawn-animals that seem to be a combination of many, the aravel more like prison-ships, elves being subject of torture/slavery... all these concepts brought to me memories from the elven paintings we found in DAI, and in the FADE! (I also always thought that the Qunari was a race made by the Elvhenan, an experiment with dragon blood - hence qunari look so draconic- and some other shit that made them a worthy army against the Titans. This bit of lore foind in this book (the knowledge of combine different creatures into a new one) may support a little bit this hypothesis)

I always wandered what the fuck these paintings have to do with DA lore... now, in this part of the book we have a hint: it’s related to elves and darkspawn. :O In the fade, we found some disfigured statues too, that may be simply representations of people being scared since we were walking through the path of the Demon of Terror, but there were many iconography meaning that this was related to the horrors of slavery. Since we found a lot of Tevinter art and Tevinter machines, we assumed this was the horrors of Tevinter... but.. what if this is a reminiscence of the terrors of the elves that were transformed into Darkspawn, and then the Tevinters exploited later?  Chronologically speaking, we know that the War against the Titans was older than Tevinter Magisters, and it was such war that weakened the Elves so much that Tevinter got advantage of it and claimed to be the big winner of the conflict, becoming the slavers of the elves. Almost nothing is collected into the Thedas History about the Titans, so everyone always focused the conflicts with the Tevinters and the elves. But who could say that slavery was not another things taught to Tevinters by the ancient Elvhenan? Besides magic and somniari stufff, they may have taught to the humans the “marvellous” advantages of slavery? Because elves were not all the same, Felassan told us that in The Masked Empire: there were the “magister elves”, the Elvhenan, tyrant ancient elves, and then the normal elves, most of the time slaves of the former.   This bit of lore got me super excited, and now I want to write a summary of a whole conversation I had with a friend of mine about all the possibilities and the lose-ends in DA lore.... Sadly, this book still doesn't help me to understand these images that were hunting me since I explored the fade. What are they? why are they there? why are they fucking happy?
