Always imagining bashir and garak's politically tense trophy-husband-4-trophy-husband wedding to end all weddings bc knowing Richard Bashit he probably invited himself in expecting his son to get married to some human woman but NO hes slow dancing to Vic Fontaine's rendition of The Spy Who Loved Me with this elderly reptile bloke (probably wearing an outfit involving white fur and gold lamé (this is my vision ok shut up)) and when julian passive-agressively introduces them Garak is grinning and staring straight at him without blinking as he offers his hand and is all like Charmed, I'm Sure 🙂 and its enough to make anyone shit themselves. During their speeches Sisko and Miles are desperatly trying to find anecdotes about the happy couple that don't involve their war crimes or medical malpractice. Mila is watching everything from afar like the queen at a football match. Kirayoshi is crying incessantly throughout. A merry time is had by few.

#This all takes place at the end of Enigma Tales btw but it's an easter egg it's easy to miss #you have to rotate the book 3 times and read every other word in chapters 5 to 6 #and drink a full bottle of penot grigio ofc #garashir #sorry

"She peeled her gloves off her wet, red palms, and rolled up her sleeves for no reason, except that it gave her something to do with her shaking hands. She made her voice as calm as possible. In a way, she was calm. She was the calmest she had ever been in her entire life. It was just her body that was frightened." (Gideon the Ninth, Act IV)

"'Gideon decided that for me,' said Harrow. She was not really afraid; it was only that her hands were, and were shaking independent of her feelings." (Harrow the Ninth, Act V)

"Minute traces of blood smudged your cheek with tiny perfume blots of thalergy as she brushed her broken mouth across it with unanticipated tenderness. There was a rigid trembling somewhere in your sternum." (Harrow the Ninth, Act III)

"The corpse's mouth was soft and rough and cold, and did not respond to Nona's mouth, but a tremble went through the upper body." (Nona the Ninth, Act V)

literally cannot stop having sebagrelle thoughts

im about to be so obnoxious

imagining sebastian slowly falling for her but in his own demonic way. he starts off as being annoyed and slowly gets used to her antics before he realizes he actually does have some sort of feeling outside of resentment.

grelle would be completely oblivious and just enjoys having someone who enables her general bullshit. does she know it's bad? yeah but thats why shes having someone whispering in her ear to do it.

it's more like a devil on her shoulder than an actual good healthy relationship but if it's healthy, it's not victorian

them accidentally meeting at places but mutually decide to just be neutral since they have so much on their plate already.

imagine the conversations they would have... i feel like it would get somewhat philosophical intertwined with whatever's on grelle's mind.

she will be going from how she's stressed about her job to explaining her apathy when handling souls which she knows he would understand. ofc making jokes poking at how she's probably making him hungry- much to sebastian's dismay.

i could see one night grelle accidentally getting too cuddly with him when they're talking on her bed and falling asleep on him.

it's like a dilemma to him because he wants to push her off but she's soooo peaceful and sooo cute when she's not trying to attack him and- oh he's pushing her off the bed then trying to lie and say she rolled off herself.

they're the type of couple that would tease the everloving hell out of each other and ofc go wayyy too far but still adore each other (sebastian somewhat but grelle definitely)

i love when grelle is portrayed as a cracked mirror to sebastian. they mutually understand each other but there's so much that's different and so much they couldn't possibly understand

like why grelle would feel so mixed on killing her previous master or why sebastian didn't kill her and wanted to torture her (basically) instead or why grelle bothers to stay with a dispatch that doesn't trust her and underestimates her talents or why sebastian doesn't just get ciel killed anyway

i feel like they'd ask questions about each other that would just be so prying to other but it's okay because it's mutual. they're intentionally seeing who would crack first and try to theorize as to why.

oh and def post-ciel, sebastian is visiting grelle a lot more often and they're free to do more together. they also don't have to worry about leaving each other's scent or hairs on each other

and ik yana said that grelle would get "bored" if sebastian hit on her and yeah, i agree. but cmon, he's not hitting her in the traditional way. he's doing it as a demonic being that doesn't understand his emotions yet he knows he wants her more but can't put it in a way that she would understand.

where do the splatoon writers hang out i need to be autistic with them

#i will post like art or something eventually i swear. ive been doing a lot of video/comm stuff recently ghdkgdf (not splatoon sadly) #and also writing. i went through 16000 words in a week recently bcs i got to the part of the fic thats been rotating in my mind for a year #btw if you have a splatoon fic (or multiple) and its not like M+ Rated you should link it. if tumblr allows that (in the replies?? idk) #i havent read many other ones recently i want to look at words that arent mine #canon characters or ocs if it contains words it counts #no idea if this post is serious (besides asking for fics) but i do miss the energy of hanging out and writing with a bunch of people

my insatiable curiosity would be my fatal flaw I believe because everyday I will catch myself on ao3 staring at the worst set of tags known to man like "oh that. that'll be FUCKING HORRENDOUSSSSS" and then I spend 5 minutes in a staring competition with the link to open it

#NONE OF THOSE FUCKING WORDS ARE IN THE BIBLE I'M NOT READING THATTTT #but it just sounds.... so unique... I have to know more #also not the fic this post is about but the other night I was looking at the sokka/jet/zuko tag to be funny #cause that sounds like the worst polycule of the century you know. mma ring. nightmare blunt rotation #so *naturally* I was curious what the tag would look like #THERE WAS AN 82 CHAPTER OMEGAVERSE FIC ABOUT SOKKA AND JET PICKING UP ZUKO LMAOOO #so OBVIOUSLY I was hitting up the tbostuals discord like hey how much would y'all pay me to read this #the answer is I probably would've done it for free I just would've taken them all down with me #AND WHYYYY.

been thinking about zoscar lately. been thinking about loveless aromanticism and relationship dynamics that differ from the 'norm' and the fact that zolf and wilde never said i love you to each other but they didn't have to for us to understand just how much they care for each other. thinking about how they probably don't have the words that we have to describe their relationship. no queerplatonic, no aromantic, no asexual. thinking about how despite the fact that both of them are writers, putting their feelings into words has never been their strong suit. thinking about how maybe it doesn't have to be; maybe they don't have to say i love you to mean it, to mean something like it. maybe they can just say "i missed you yesterday" or "i made you breakfast" or "i fixed the button on your coat" or "i know you're having a bad day today so i'm just going to sit with you and not say anything to let you know i'm here for you" or "shall i read to you" or "you always oversalt your food" or "almost lost you" or "we've got this" or "i need you".

warm

post-botw; 700 words

—————

It’s their first night together after a century separation; Link isn’t entirely certain what he should do. It’s…suffocating, in a way, to be so close to this girl he remembers but doesn’t know. The aching cavern of emptiness and grief tells him that she always has and always will mean plenty to him—but sharing a bed? He’s not sure how or why they ended up like this, what made them choose to share such a close space when there’s both everything and nothing familiar about it.

For the most part, the air is quiet. Silver slivers of moonlight slip through the window, but little more light is offered than that. He can feel the way the bed dips under her weight just behind him; can feel the warmth of her just a few inches from his back. He’s exhausted, every bone and joint in his body crying out for rest and restoration, but his brain can’t shut down. He’s too aware of the former princess—his former princess. Something about that hurts.

His eyes, fixated in one place for so long, only move from the wall when he hears something so soft that he’s not sure he’s heard it at all. That little sniffle makes him frown. He’s never known anyone to sniffle in their sleep. She must be as restless as him.

He turns over slowly, using as little motion as he can. She’s still facing opposite of him. Her golden hair spilling out over the pillow makes it harder for him to move any closer, though he doesn’t know if she would appreciate that anyway.

“Zelda?” he whispers, and it’s only after he’s said it that he realizes he’s dropped her title entirely. Is it disrespectful? There hasn’t been a monarchy in years; still, it’s proper though, isn’t it?

Her name feels more familiar than the word princess.

For a moment, she doesn’t say anything. It’s almost enough to convince him that she’s asleep—but she moves. She curls up tighter into herself, like she’s trying to hide, and he isn’t sure if she’s shaking because she’s cold, or if she’s crying. His heart wrenches for her; he’s known too well what it’s like to cry himself to sleep under the weight of trauma.

She’s cried in front of him before; of the few memories he has, that’s always been one of them. His body remembers too, knows the sounds of her sorrow, because he knows it, too—because his hands move before he can think better of it.

He rests one, gentle and slow, on her arm. There’s a sharp inhale, but she doesn’t speak. A beat passes where Link is afraid he’s overstepped. He doesn’t know her like he should, and she knows that. He knows that she knows because he’s seen it in her eyes every time she’s looked at him since her freedom. But her hand, a little smaller than his but trembling just the same, settles atop his.

Her fingertips are cold as ice.

It’s all the encouragement he needs. She’s cold, and he’ll be damned if she spends her first night in a hundred years anything but comfortable. He moves in, his arms folding around her in a warm embrace, and she melts against him with a sob that rips his heart in two. He doesn’t speak; he only holds her as she cries, and he brushes his lips over her clothed shoulder. Comfort if she needed, simple enough to consider a mistake if she didn’t.

A century’s worth of grief flows through them both. The difference lied in the fact that Link had to relearn his; Zelda’s despair had never left her.

He doesn’t know when, but he guesses the moon is a little higher in the sky by the time she quiets. She turns, away from that window and into his chest, and he knows it’s her muscle memory at work when her hands creep under his shirt and press flat against the skin of his back.

“You’re warm,” she says, quiet and muffled, hoarse from crying.

“Your fingers are freezing,” he tells her while his own glide up and down her back, searching endlessly for a resting place.

“Sorry,” she says, but she doesn’t lift her hands and he can hear the smile on her lips, no matter how small and broken it probably was.

It’s okay. It’s okay because he’ll fix it. He’ll make her smile full; until the sun can shine again, Link will lend her every bit of warmth she could ever need.

[waitineedaname]

anyway. back to my regularly scheduled idiot posting. I got left alone with my thoughts too long earlier and started thinking about greed and how he's positioned between the other homunculi and humans. none of the other homunculi show off their ouroboros tattoos as much as he does. they don't particularly hide their tattoos (except when in disguise/not counting wrath) but greed LOVES showing off his tattoo, it's the first thing he does when introducing himself constantly. he's also the first one to proudly declare he's a homunculus, despite having distanced himself from the rest of the homunculi

at the same time, he immediately draws an association between himself and human beings. he describes himself as an artificially made human, which is the literal definition of what a homunculus is, and his willingness to explain how he's not that far from humans (his body structurally being the same as a human, describing himself as sturdier than most but not truly immortal) is what allows ed to figure out his weakness. meanwhile the other homunculi would literally rather die than position themselves as at all similar to humans. this is consistent with the fact that all the other homunculi, at best, look down on humanity, and at worst, feel intense contempt for humans, meanwhile greed seems to be amused by humans, if not outright fond of them

idk i just think it's interesting that the rest of the homunculi completely divorce themselves from humanity and position themselves as superior, but greed is the one to actually embrace the definition of homunculus as an artificial human

#fma #WHY IS GREED THE ONLY ONE I CAN WRITE ESSAYS ABOUT. #WHY CAN'T I PUT THIS ENERGY TOWARDS OTHER CHARACTERS. #dammit. #the homunculi are so interesting to me I am rotating them in my mind 24/7 #there's a whole other thing to break down in relation to this post #which is the human-homunculi #and wrath and greedling as foils #both of them physically human first before getting infused with a philosopher's stone #but they have SUCH drastically different takes on humanity #wrath and the other homunculi constantly treating humans with contempt and underestimating them #and ling being like that is going to be your downfall. bitch. #all the souls in wrath battling for dominance when he was created #versus greed and ling just like. coexisting. #sure they might fight for control of the body at first but neither of them try to destroy each other like wrath's situation #it's so wild to me when the other homunculi are like wow greed it's so pathetic that you'd share control of your body with a human #as if that doesn't give him a huge fighting advantage. lmao. #this post has gotten too long I was going to do OTHER THINGS but instead i just thought really hard about greed and word vomited. hi.

i think something people forget about pink diamond is that she had compassion for life long before she went to earth

the pebbles assume steven is pink not because of his gem or aura but just because he says ‘hello’ and ‘thank you’ to them, a basic common courtesy that nobody else has given them in thousands of years

in steven’s pink visions, blue is yelling at pink about the little bugs she let loose on homeworld. when one of them is found in her cell, she is quick to check it’s okay before helping it out of the room. even before encountering humans she valued organic life.

even the garden, the setting of pink’s cruellest moment, is proof of her care for organic life. Unlike every other part of homeworld, the garden is teeming with plant-life, which was kept healthy enough that it continued to grow even after pink abandoned it. the only other homeworld structure that tends to organic life is the human zoo. who’s to say the garden wasn’t another attempt by the other diamonds to placate pink after she expressed concern for the life on one of their colonies? or maybe pink picked the plants herself from the many different colonies she visited and grew them there.

pink wasn’t perfect. she had a bad habit of acting on her emotions and impulses without considering the consequences of her actions, and she hurt a lot of people because of it. but she considered all life precious and worth protecting, it just wasn’t until she had a colony of her own that she fully understood that the expansion of homeworld was intrinsically linked to the destruction of life, and the moment she realised that is the moment she stood against it.

#steven universe #su pink diamond #this post is almost 5 years too late lol #like padparadscha by the time my thoughts have found their way from my brain to my mouth the moment is long gone #but a hot take is a hot take even if it’s been in a slow cooker #i just think people are sleeping on the pebbles and the scene with the little rainbow catipillar #there always seemed to be a sentiment that pink was an inherently cruel person and that she didn’t care about anything before earth? #and that her care for life was either superficial or out of left field #but something my brain keeps rotating round is that she was always like this she always cared for other life forms but never took them #seriously. she always cared about them but never really paid close attention to how they were. and it was something she learnt off of the #other diamonds who treated her exactly the same as she treated everybody else. they loved her but they didn’t understand her and they #never made an effort to change that. and they never thought about how their actions made her feel or whether she was responding to their #own outbursts and emotions. and she never considered how her actions would make other people feel. #she didn’t think how her screaming would hurt volleyball until it happened. she didn’t consider how all-encompassing her orders to spinel #and pearl and potentially garnet were. she didn’t think about how spinel would be hurt by being left behind and quite frankly i do think #she completely forgot spinel existed once she became preoccupied with saving earth which is horrible but also makes total sense for her #character who from creation was taught that other gems were worth less than her and that they existed only to serve her or her fellow #diamonds; and as somebody who was used to the concept of being left behind and abandoned whenever the people she cared about got bored #or annoyed with her. it hurts but it’s a part of life to her. what she didn’t consider js that her words are law and she left spinel with #no free-will. she left pearl physically unable to share important information and solve the problems she left behind. #and she doesn’t consider how her death will make others feel - she doesn’t think the diamonds will care that she dies but they do and they #murder all of her friends except for two. she thinks the crystal gems will be fine without her if she says goodbye to become steven but #they aren’t and a good portion of the show is about the gems grief and how it creates an unstable environment for steven to grow up in #consistently pink diamond was taught her feelings didn’t matter and was made to feel nobody cared about her if they weren’t compelled to #and that compiled with the privileged position she was formed into made her an insecure spoiled brat who had no comprehension that her #choices could hurt people around her #did she ever even consider that the diamonds were grieving her? or did she think it was just another action of violence to exert control? #i don’t think i’ll ever be over pink diamond #funnily enough steven has a similar problem e.g. sadie’s talent show and when connie was upset he gave himself up to homeworld #but that’s a discussion for when i’m not at tag limit lol

There Aint No Toilets In Space - Isekai Bullkark

Ok, but the funniest thing about Isekai is the culture clash?? (Bullkark is my SW slang for drabble) Pairings: I mean, not really any but if you squint REAAAAAAL hard, you might see Echo x reader Warnings: None. Purely mundane nonsense for some chuckles. The stuff you don’t think to think about. Well I’m here to help you find out what that would be like my pals. （づ￣3￣）づ╭❤️～ Author’s notes: Have you ever heard them call the fresher a toilet in canon before? Or loo? I haven’t, so I’m officially stating that means they don’t have the words toilet or loo. ---------------------------------------------- “So, um, where’s the uhhh, loo?” you ask in a quiet, sheepish voice. You knew this would happen eventually, but you legitimately never thought in a million years you would be asking Echo, a character from a fictional show you loved watching, where the fucking toilet was. In the Star Wars universe. Where lightsabres existed. The. Fucking. Loo. “The what?” Echo gives you a bemused look. “Y’know, the toilet?” there’s a low level of urgency in your voice that Echo picks up on, but not what you’re getting at, causing him to mildly panic at the thought that he won’t be able to help you with whatever mysterious other-dimensional needs may have.  “I don’t know what that means?” your pointed stare at him only seems to make him panic a little more, “Well, what’s it’s function? Let’s start with that.” A blush crosses your face as you mentally prepare yourself to suck it up and tell the nice star wars man you gotta pee so fucking bad. “I need to pee. Where do I go?”  Now it was his turn to blush, a brilliant crimson from ear to ear. If you didn’t need to pee so badly right now, you’d have enjoyed how cute it made him look a little more, but no, No cute thoughts. Only pee. God, please let him show me where the bathroom is.  “Oh!” there’s a slight sound of relief mixed with embarrassment in his exclamation, “You mean the ‘fresher? It’s over here.” a flustered Echo directs you down the narrow gangway of the Marauder to the tiny cubicle that was the refresher. Echo proceeds to give you a quick explanation on how to use the vac-tube, which you briskly thank him for before asking him to give you some privacy.  Acknowledging this he scoots off elsewhere in the marauder to literally face palm, and groan at his first-hand embarrassment. Other-dimensional needs? What does that even mean, of course they just needed to use the fresher!
