@moonfloret / cont. from ↷

Wren isn’t sure where she is. She tries to comb through her memory for where it cuts off, all the while trying to pay attention to her immediate surroundings and the person she’s pointing her pistol at. She’s not armoured, but it’s her pistol. Why is she so certain he’s not a threat, even as she’s holding a weapon at him? She doesn’t know him. Yet her intuition is something she usually trusts. His body language tells her he’s no civilian  ⸺  he’s looking at her rather than the gun, not showing any immediate signs of fear despite the setting. If anything, he appears rather similar to how she would behave, in his shoes. Telling her to take a deep breath  ⸺  defusing the situation. It’s an odd comfort in a distressing situation, to be on this side of reassurance. She’s used to being the one to give the orders, yet she finds herself doing as he says, inhaling deeply, urging her body to calm down.

❝ Do you know where we are? ❞    she asks, instead. She lowers the gun, lets it hang against her thigh, not keen on giving it up, but afraid of... it’s difficult to accept, that she’s just now not been in control of herself. It’s something she’s actively feared, ever since Cerberus brought her back, that they’d somehow... be able to control her. Only she knows that’s illogical, but what else...? If it’s the Reapers somehow, that’s... worse.    ❝ Can you describe to me what... How long have I stood here? What did I physically do? Other than point my gun at you. ❞   There’s still a hint of terror in her tone, but she’s regaining her mask of confidence. The fear keeps growing, if anything, though the outward appearance of it is dwindling.

She’s wearing a casual set of t-shirt and jeans, and her dog tags under her shirt give her comfort in their familiar weight. Still, the outfit doesn’t give her much to work with. Could have been on the Normandy, before... wherever she is, now. Could also have been on shore leave. She doesn’t remember. Everything is a bit jumbled up, and it’s hard to tell in what order some recent events have happened.

Aki having a famous s/o?

he's definitely your psuedo bodyguard, refusing to leave your side especially if you're in public. your fans gossip and wonder about who the handsome man you're always seen with is, and if they come up to you and they're too aggressive about wanting to take pictures with you, get autographs, or ask questions, aki has no problem telling them to give you your space.

aki really tries to be a fan of yours, too. he keeps up with all of your endeavors, he loves giving you advice on what magazine to model for or what movie to star in next. and he doesn't mind if people know the two of you are dating, but he tries to keep the details between you two.

he casually collects merch of yours. and he's familiar with all of your managers and affiliates, who frequently refer to him as just "your boyfriend".

#he's pretty normal about it honestly #he likes going on secluded dates with you so the two of you can be alone #he really doesn't mind the attention you get when the two of you are out but #he likes to spend time with just the two of you #I'd like to believe aki has social media just so he can keep track of news about you and your posts #he literally doesn't use it for any other purpose lol #you go to his account and he's following just you #ask mags

Nathaniel chuckled weakly to himself, not in response to Logan’s recent remark, but rather because he had naively believed he could behave oddly without Logan catching on. Before another word could escape in his defense, Kaylee was looking out the front door. “Shit,” he hissed, the air got stuck in his throat as the little girl tilted her head and spoke directly to Logan. “Are you joining us for buffalo pizza?” she asked innocently. “Uncle Nate said I get to have two pieces because I got an E for excellent on my report card.” Big blue eyes stared back at Logan and then at her Uncle, unaware of the situation unfolding before her. Nate turned to look at his girlfriend, blue eyes quickly locked on Logan as he mouthed quietly, “If you want to go, here’s your chance…” That wasn’t exactly what Nate wanted to say, but he knew it was the right thing to say, knowing she deserved out an out from all his crazy family drama.

The sight of the young girl made any anger she felt towards Nate disappear, and her features softened. There was clearly a long story here, which she'd ask about later, but for the moment, all she could focus on was the sweet little girl who looked up at her uncle like he was superman. "Wow, that's awesome! You must be super smart," Logan grinned, pretending to ponder the offer of pizza, before nodding solemnly. "That sounds amazing, I'd love some. As long as you have ranch for dipping," She trailed off, and immediately the young girl turned on her heel and bolted into the house to check on the ranch situation. "You should've just told me," Logan turned her attention to Nate in a gently chiding tone, lightly swatting his arm with the back of her hand before sliding it into his. "Your big secret is that you're a good guy who took in his niece?"

@amoroxs - continued from your reply to my open starter HERE!

It was a relief to Nila when the man didn't seem terribly upset about her being here instead of her friend. That was her hope, after all. Whether, or not, he decided that they would continue on with the blind date would be up to him. At least he wasn't upset with her, though. She still felt the need to strive towards easing the nerves that had been evident in his laugh.

With a smile that she hoped made things easier, Nila replied, "It's really nice to actually meet you, Marco. I've heard a lot about you from my friend who you were supposed to see here..." She scrunched her nose in concern over what she said, realizing all too late that it might sound a tad awkward. "It's just that she said a lot of nice things about you and... anyway... I... I'm sorry. If this is too strange for you, I'd completely understand, but I was hoping to take her place."

From what her friend had told her about him, and the pictures on the dating app, Nila had been interested from the beginning. She wouldn't have shown up if her friend had planned to come, but when those plans changed, she took that opportunity. The way she looked at it, there was no harm in trying. If she were to find out if there was a chance they might click, she had to take a chance. So she did. Her eyes met his and she offered him a bashful smile. "It's all up to you, though..."

“okay, but did you know that one fourth of all your body’s bones are in your feet?” as jo leaned back in her seat, there was a sense of pure delight and almost a childish joy as she looked at the person before her. she would just spit these medical facts on anyone that asked, or didn’t ask for that matter. it took her mind off of the fact she needed to keep cramming for her residency questions tomorrow. “it’s not like you needed to know or anything, but now you know. and knowledge is power right?”

“i did know that, actually.” they smiled a bit, lifting the book she was holding, revealing the cover as a medical textbook. “is there a reason you’re telling a random stranger slightly disturbing medical facts?” she could acknowledge it was certainly a weird one, even if they themselves found it fascinating to think about.

@typemoonmuses​:

Archeuid felt herself get anger as she saw the glasses wearing man. The vampire was convinced this man killed her or at least knew who killed her. Maybe casted a spell on her too.She took out her dagger and pinned the other down.

“Where is he?” She seethed her eyes turning red gripping the stranger harder.

the vampire caught samara by surprise. something she’d never admit aloud to anyone. other species she was used to seeing but one that look like they were human but had the speed and strength this one had was unexpected. but samara wouldn’t let them get the upper hand on them again. as soon as samara came to her sense she used the force to push the other far away from her. her hand held out, her eyes flashing the auburn as she seethed with anger about being ambushed. “i don’t know who you’re talking about but those are to be your last words.”

One of my dad’s friends from grad school visited today and he talked about his current project and he’s really all about ‘biological’ explanations for social behavior, as opposed to social and structural influences. And I said, I was majoring in biology before I had to take leave, and you know, a lot of people like to invoke the name of biology in sociological discussions, but lack a deep understanding of the field of biology. I think people see biology as a more powerful concept because they aren’t actually familiar with it. Biological and evolutionary science isn’t actually made of hard lines and indisputable facts, but controversies and ambiguities, much like sociology….

He had this idea that he was looking for ‘truth’ that other academics wanted to hide from to avoid emotional conflict. He struck me as fairly arrogant but that’s quite common in sociology and academia in general I think it’s necessary to survive the profession tbh. He was nice to me tho and was interested what I had to say but I know he pegged me from the beginning as ‘intelligent person’ b/c I’m dad’s daughter and I speak fluent sociology. But he and dad talked about declining standards and grade inflation which yeah, real issues, but as they discussed what makes a student good or bad, I realized how far I’ve fallen from a professor‘s ideal student to a ‚bad‘ student just from the onset of the sleep disorder…… I used to be the person ‚built for academic rigor‘ he spoke of, but I’m not anymore because I got sick. I was raised into this world of academia that values specific types of intelligence and ability, and by chance, I’ve lost a lot of the ‚inherent qualities‘ that gave me the right to be in that world. From my perspective, this has revealed the flaws of the institution, but from the perspective of everyone within that institution, I’ve simply failed.

#Long post #personal rant #🌱 #i still have an intuitive grasp of academic discussion but it’s very hard for me to learn new things now which basically defeats the purpose #i can only criticize I can’t often come up with anything original anymore #i never was comfortable forming theses and proposing novel concepts which is the entire point of science #it always felt impossibly audacious to say ‚ I’ve thought of something no one else has‘ which is the assumption scienti fic research seems #to be founded on???? #and maybe I’m missing something maybe I’m just stupid maybe I really am a ‚perfoectioniet‘ like my parents always say but it just feels like #i was never going to make it #and if there was a time I was on the right track #I’ve fallen irreversibly out of it #i feel like I have no purpose and nothing to contribute to the world #and academia is just another thing I’ve lost #don’t mind me having my crisis of identity from being raised to value #intellectual aptitude and ability to excel over everything and then becoming disabled and realizing this was never about earning success #it was always about lucky enough not to be stopped by forces outside your control

Echo's romantic selfships: Ash in the Snowstorm (Eula/Alectra)

"oh, now don't tell me you thought I wasn't serious?"

==============================

romantic F/O: Eula Lawrence (Genshin Impact)

character tag: love: glacial spindrift (eula)

selfship tag: selfship: ash in the snowstorm (eula/alectra)

paired self-insert: Alectra

self-insert tag: self-insert: ashen nightingale (alectra)

selfship start date: 2nd November 2021

comfort sharing romantically: not comfortable

==============================

Eula Lawrence is the captain of the Knights of Favonius' Reconnaissance Company, as well as being the Spindrift Knight; she holds a Cryo Vision and wields a claymore in battle. Alectra is the Ashen Nightingale, an elite Fatui agent also known as the Taloned Fury - although she does not have a Vision, she uses a Pyro Delusion granted to her by the Tsaritsa to wield corrupted ashfire, and demonstrates great skill with a sword. At the time of meeting Eula, she is one of Childe's second-in-commands.

Although Alectra was born in Mondstadt, she did not meet Eula until after returning to Mondstadt with Rosalyne - also known as La Signora - after the events in Inazuma. Eula was keeping an eye on her actions because she thought she was being suspicious, which was not entirely misplaced - but she found herself sympathising for Alectra's situation over the course of learning more about her, especially after the two had officially met face-to-face. Once both of them felt confident that the other wasn't actually planning to destroy Mondstadt, they were able to bond over how others treated them and come to rely on each other, eventually forming an unexpected but welcome bond.

zhongli paused, eyes narrowing as he looked at the man. he had approached out of a sense of familiarity, sure he was wrong but willing to indulge in a quick moment. now that he was actually closer it seemed he had not actually had a weird sense of memories, but was actually looking at barbatos himself. it made sense, given that he himself had made it here there was nothing stopping the other archon from getting pulled in, but for some reason he hadn’t expected it at all. the fondness of having someone who understood his life and age here in washington was somewhat disrupted by the fact that the part was already acting like a pathetic drunkard begging for wine. “you can use money to buy wine, surely you know that by now.” why cross the sign out and make it more confusing? he groaned. “barbatos, how long have you been here? there must be something better you could be doing with your time. did you settle at all or did you immediately start hunting down a drink?”

sensing someone else approaching, he was already poised to answer the question. at the mention of barbatos, the smile quickly slipped from venti’s features, his eyes widening. few knew of that name, and even fewer would chastise him in such a manner. the last he had known was that morax was dead — leaving him to grieve the other, and as the last one standing somehow. “who’s barbatos? never heard of him!” venti answered after staying quiet for too long, a false layer of cheer in his voice as the smile returned on his face. the answer seemed too obvious, and if it was so, it was infuriating. “say, you look like someone i used to know!” he exclaimed, tossing his sign to the side with his other belongings. “he was a big blockhead, though. tragic. and he had rocks for brains, maybe that’s why he had the same personality as concrete! too bad he’s dead.” he narrowed his eyes at the other, waiting for whatever this response would be. / @irresistiibles​

@spotlighters cont'd from HERE

" i think both would be great options , " adrien replies , momentarily taking his attention away from his own browsing. " i think it almost depends on how much you're committed to finishing a series. chronicles of narnia would be the quicker read , for sure. " he takes a step over to get a better view of the shelf before the other. " but then you have to make sure they're all available when you want them if finishing the series matters to you. " he shrugs. " i think either would be a nice change to what you're used to , but then again , i'm not the biggest fan of written plays. "

jemma blinked a few times as the other spoke - that sounded oddly familiar to what had happened with the titanic, but it couldn't be - could it? she questioned herself for a moment, before speaking again. "what was the name of the ship you were on?" it was possible that it could be any ship - but jemma
