Hey but WHO WOULD CUT ASTARION'S HAIR? Cuz we all know and love his perfect hairdo, but as someone with short hair, it's HELLA HARD to maintain it at "hot sixties working dad" (like that gelled up Superman look lol, I don't have any other description) and not "cow licked chin length bangs and untouched sheep wool behind", and it grows into that in MONTHS. Because he would hardly be able to do it himself with no mirror. NOT SAYING THAT LONG HAIR ASTARION WOULDN'T BE HOT, THE WHOLE FANDOM IS DROOLING OVER THE BAND ASTARION STUFF, but I don't think he'd let it grow that long during the game's events

What's your thought on Astarion getting a haircut? Does elf hair just grow extremely slow?? Sounds depressing, honestly. How would he cut his hair? Who would he let cut his hair?

(so sorry if I'm bugging your ask box, PLEASE answer the messes I send you AT YOUR OWN PACE. I'm just currently sick, have time, and am full of ideas for a moment and are really excited to have someone to chat about BG3 about??)

(Yes, that is a threat.)

Whewh this got longer than I anticipated...

Now I'm wondering if vampires have hair that grows???? Does it??

So, if it does, my main theory is the spawn helped groom each other. Despite they're issues between the group, better they all have a shot at succeeding.

So I'm guessing eventually Astarion comes grumbling to Tav to please help him out and don't say anything.

If Tav is a romance, then they are pretty much obligate to look after his hair. It comes with the territory. If not romanced, they are the most capable in the camp so....

I like to think later in a relationship, it becomes a bit of a beloved ritual. Astarion showing how much he trusts his partner by letting them care for his hair. (You know he knows it's one of his best features), and Tav enjoying caring for him.

And someday, when Tav is gone, maybe he lets it grow out because he can't really stand to let anyone else touch it.

How do you think Keeley would have reacted if when she told Roy she slept with Jamie after he blew her off that Roy said he'd had a one night stand with Jamie in between the gala and then too?

First answer? She jumps out of her chair and shouts, “J’ACCUSE!”

Possible realistic answer? Some insightful and semi-nuanced conversation regarding the circumstances in which the hookup happened and what it means for Roy and Keeley’s potential relationship etc etc (this is other people’s bread and butter, I can’t help with this sort of stuff, sorry)

Now.

Funniest answer?

She pretends she doesn’t believe him.

And at first maybe, she doesn’t. Roy, irritated and more than a little miffed that this is something he actually has to put words to, starts to explain what happened and as he talks it clicks for her, ‘oh he might be telling the truth.’

Except she's still miffed about him ghosting her, so in a spur of the moment Keeley Jones Whim (TM) she decides to double down. No, she doesn't believe him. You can just say you’re upset with me. You don’t need to make things up.

"I’m not making it up. I’m telling you I slept with him. I can even tell you what he looks like naked."

"Locker room."

"I know what he's like in bed."

"Tabloids."

Because then whats Roy gonna do? Go to the Diamond Dogs and ask them 'how to convince the person you want to be dating that you slept with someone else?' Go to Jamie and try to get him to back him up?

"You need to tell your ex girlfriend we slept together. She doesn’t believe me. She says that I'm making it up."

Jamie: *astroprojecting to the ether to sync up with Keeley ET-style*

"........what are you talking about?"

"The- what? After the gala."

"I don't know man, it sounds sounds like maybe you had a bit too much to drink in your old age."

Roy:

Then when Jamie comes to Keeley’s house at the end of the season, Roy is like ‘FINALLY. NOW CAN WE ALL PLEASE ADMIT I SLEPT WITH JAMIE.’

Keeley and Jamie, realizing that they have not discussed The Bit with each other:

“Roy, we’re a little concerned by how much you keep bringing this up.”

“Yeah mate. I think your memory might be going. Have you been checked for Alzheimer’s?”

Roy:

The return on dividends for this is endless. It would only become more frustrating, and therefore funnier, the longer it goes on

And the thing is? Roy knows they’re fucking with him. He fucking knows that he’s feeding the wolves the more he lets it get to him. So he tries to let it go, let enough time pass that surely they’ll be over this bit and one of them will just ADMIT THAT HE’S TELLING THE TRUTH

They 'the shark is smooth' this man to his deathbed.

👀 + jace/helaena + celebration

Send me Eyes, a pairing, and a word/words for a short drabble!

Helaena's laughter echoed off the jagged obsidian that made up the little cave and cove on the northern tip of Dragonstone. She spun in the light of the fire, naked as her name day, arms drifting and wafting, her hair glowing like spun gold as she cast shadows along the walls. Blood, dried and crimson, clung smeared across her chin and matched Jace's own. Deeper in the cave behind them, Dreamfyre was curled up sated after her meal, Vermax nestled against her with his smaller bulk tucked into the curve of her.

Jace rose, looping his arms around Helaena's waist, hoisting her against him as they spun, laughter turned to song, drums of valyria ancient, distant, and old, reverberating in their bones.

#jacelaena #jacaerys velaryon #helaena targaryen #jacaerys x helaena #I LOVE THEM SO MUCH #God writing the wee drabbles is oh so fun #let them be feral and dragonblooded #let them be wild and happy #thanks for this! #my fics

Re that ask you received on your use of the term - ‘Zionist entity’ : the phrase Zionist entity refers to the IDF, various spy agencies, settlers—etc., collectively. It’s use is not intended to incite. Israel is a self proclaimed Zionist state and the fiercest supporters of Israel are self proclaimed zionists. With the (French-British) Sykes-Picot Agreement, and then the (British Zionist) Balfour declaration, came the mass, violent displacement of Palestinians. Though it’s frustratingly often framed as cultural-religious war between Arabs and Jews (does not make sense, but is an easy narrative to pull), it’s actually a result of French-British, specifically Zionist (and not with the greater interests of the Jewish people at heart) violent colonial efforts.

Yes you're right!!! I agree. A lot of the time when we (Palestinians) refer to zionism, we acknowledge the entire apartus of oppression and recognize that none of these things are separate. And I'm not speaking purely from an academic standpoint — this is everyday language we implore. Highly recommend checking out this resource to learn more about some of the agreements anon mentions:

Tying Bucky to a chair and making him wet himself 🥰

this is so!!!! (tw watersports)

he’s sat on a chair in front of you, hands tied behind his back. his cock is peaking out of the waistband of his sweats, resting against his white t-shirt.

“please, i gotta go. can’t hold it any longer,” he says. he gasps. “oh no, oh no,” a leak gushes out of him, a wet spot spreading on his stomach.

“i thought you said you were my good boy? good boys can hold it.” your hand dips below your panties, rubbing through your soaked folds and over your clit.

“i am good! please,” he arches his back and groans, hips thrusting into nothing. his legs are spread wide, bouncing uncontrollably, nearly shaking.

“then hold it. or do you need a diaper?” you rub yourself faster, watching him groan and jostle his legs.

his cock jumps, twitches where it’s held against him. “ohh fuck, i can’t hold it any longer. it’s coming out” a stream of piss rushes out of him with a hiss, soaking his stomach and chest and running down to his sweatpants, his now drenched shirt clinging to him.

“i didn’t say you could go,” you say, half breathless. your cunt throbs watching him lose control. he continues to wet himself, pee streaming out of his hardening cock.

he’s breathing heavy, almost panting, slouched in the chair with his head thrown back. “ohhh i’m sorry. it feels so good. fuck.”

Hi!!! I'm not sure how old your blog is, but I've stumbled across it now! I was just reading some of your stuff and I wanted to know: Is 'Devai" the term you're using for the Nation-people? I never know what to call them myself, like how would humans refer to them as, do they know they are their country people, and what not. If Yes, how did you come up with the term 'Devai'? :0

Hello!!

Yes, 'Devai' is the term that I use for nations in my headcanon! It's based on the word 'Diwata'. In pre-colonial filipino tradition, the Diwata are nature spirits who protect the land and sometimes the people who reside within their land too. I thought that it was appropriate, given what nations are supposed to represent!

Devai (or Devas, singular) is how they refer to each other within the Devai community. Humans have come up with different names for them across the centuries. "Nation" is a relatively recent name for them, which I like to think started to be coined by the masses in the 19th century, particularly in Europe.

As for whether people know them or not, I think that varies greatly depending on the culture and the devas in question themselves. There are Devai who are bonded to communities who are 100% aware of who they are and what they represent. There are some whose identities, by choice or otherwise, are on a strict need-to-know basis. Devai can blend into society easily as they don't appear different from the average human. Really, the only way you'd be able to tell that there's more to them than they seem is if you 1) saw them in a fight, 2) spend a prolonged amount of time around them.

Hope that answered your question!! ^^

#[ meta ] #answered #not an ask #thanks for this! #a lot of my own worldbuilding has roots in old filipino myths and traditions that i grew up with #i think in philippine provinces their local devai would be called diwata #tempermental forest spirits my grandma would warn me about lmao

hello/goodbye hugs that linger for javey 💙

Number 18 comin right up!

edit: oops, this got away from me because I don't know the definition of concise apparently

******

"It's just another three weeks, and then I'm home for the entire summer," Davey assures.

"It's too long," Jack whines. "I hate Yale. I hate stupid Boston and their stupid red-sox and their stupid Ivy League schools that have ya away for nine months of the year."

As much as Davey wants to pretend that Jack being all sorts of clingy is a major inconvenience, he can't dismiss the fact that he loves the way Jack always refuses to release them from their final hugs before Davey heads back to school.

It's become a tradition of sorts. They hug goodbye, and Davey makes some comment about being late for his train, and Jack tightens his grip while Davey rolls his eyes and lets his arms go limp at his side.

There's something different this time around, though, and Davey can't quite put his finger on it. The soft, ragged breath Jack takes when he buries his face into the crook of Davey's neck. The way his smile isn't entirely reaching his eyes.

"Hey," Davey's hands settle on Jack's shoulders as he puts enough space between them to get a good look at his best friend. "You okay?"

"Yeah," Jack mutters. Davey can tell by the dimness of his eyes that he's lying. " 'm'fine."

"You don't seem fine."

"I guess," Jack sighs, "In the past year, with you bein' gone and all... I didn't realize how much I was gonna miss ya. I didn't realize a lot of things."

Before Davey can even open his mouth to reply, he's being hauled in again for another bone-crushing hug. Davey's arms dangle by his side in shock as Jack's come up behind his back, gripping the back of Davey's shirt with such force.

Davey blinks himself out of his stupor and slowly brings his arms to clasp around Jack's waist.

"I love you, Dave."

"Love you, too, Jackie."

Davey's on the train, his mind running through their last encounter the way a needle runs over vinyl, when his phone buzzes.

Jackie: i need to tell you something. Jackie: shoulda said it before you left Jackie: i mean, i said it, but i didn't really SAY it ykwim?? Jackie: fuck. i hope you don't have signal rn and we can just wait til u get back for summer

Me: Bad news Me: I have signal

Jackie: well shit

Me: You were saying?

The three dots indicating someone on the other side is texting pop up. They disappear for a moment and return, sending anxiety that rises like the tide shooting through Davey's veins. This is where Jack admits what's been bothering him. This is where Jack says they've grown apart, that keeping up with Davey when he's so far away isn't worth the effort, that their friendship of nearly six years isn't worth the effo--

Jackie: I love you.

Davey squints at the screen.

All that fuss for Jack to tell Davey something he already knows?

Me: That's nice, Jackie. I love you, too!

Jackie: ffs Jackie: you go to an ivy league school Jackie: ain't no way ur really this dense

Me: ??? uncalled for??

Jackie: Dave. Jackie: I'm IN LOVE with you.

Oh. Well. Davey certainly wasn't expecting that.

Jackie: and i feel stupid sayin that over a damn text message but i was too scared to say it earlier and i feel like it'll eat me alive if i don't say anything Jackie: if you don't feel the same i TOTALLY understand btw Jackie: we can also just. pretend this never happened when you come back and it'll be just like old times

He blinks dumbly at the phone, heart hammering in his chest as more frantic messages come in.

Jackie: OR you could continue to ignore me Jackie: you have your read receipts on, you know that?

Jackie: oh my god i'm gonna block you. Jackie: hi hey hello, davey jacobs? jack kelly here, your best friend who just confessed his love for you? yeah it'd be great if you could SAY SOMETHING

Me: That certainly was a sentence.

Jackie: I hate you.

Me: Pretty sure you love me. Source: you.

Jackie: no fr how am *i* the one who gets a rep for being annoying?

Jackie: really though. are we gonna talk about this?

Me: Look who's being dense now.

Jackie: DAVE

Davey laughs at his screen and decides to put Jack out of his misery, chest feeling like it's exploding into a million stars.

Me: JACK Me: Good news. Me: I love you, too.

Jackie: see, was that so hard? Jackie: holy shit, so... Jackie: we're like. properly in love huh? Jackie: whaddya wanna do about that?

Me: We could call when I get back to my dorm? Have a real conversation about it? Me: And maybe talk about it when I get home in May?

Jackie: yeah. i like the sound of both those things

When Davey comes home for summer break, Jack runs to him as soon as he steps off the train, arms so tight around his torso and heart so full that Davey can't imagine either of them ever letting go.

I'm the G/A shipper lol. Thank you for ur answer!! I do think it would've taken Gregg and Annie more time to come together, and even if I get what you're saying, of it could be them regressing (going back to what they'd already done), it just seemed like it was made to be. Gregg also just didn't seem like he really loved Nancy, and Nancy deserved better.

I had a related question. Why do you think it was SO hard for G to come up with what he liked about Annie? Like I wrote in my original ask, I didn't buy it for a second, and while it seemed to say much more about G to me than G and A's connection, I still hated it. It just seemed to really brush off/completely take out meaning of G and A's connection like it didn't mean anything, which even if they betrayed Nancy, and were very immature about it (with again G deceiving his wife while they were trying to conceive???? NOT OK), they clearly had a real connection, and I do think had genuine feelings for each other. Not to mention their history. What's your take?

(x)

I agree that Greg never seems like he's really in love with Nancy, but I also think it's important to remember that we only ever truly see them as a couple through Annie's POV. We're actually robbed as viewers of moments of intimacy or connection between them because at the end of the day, Annie herself doesn't really want to see it.

I do think there's a fair speculation too that Greg probably wanted the opposite of Annie when their relationship imploded and so sought a person like Nancy as a sort of marker of an 'adult' relationship, which is especially interesting because I think the show does a good job of depicting Greg as pretty immature still himself. There is the sort of vibe that Nancy probably parents Greg a bit in that relationship, but for a man who became a father himself when he was a boy, it makes a lot of sense.

Which really comes to your question of why Greg couldn't come up with anything he liked about Annie when she asked. I totally agree with you that I think he could probably list a lot of things he liked about Annie, but I tend to think there are a few things at play.

Firstly, and funnily enough, if I were to compare Greg to other characters in the show, the one I tend to think he's most like is actually Beth. He maintains a performative life that it's clear he's not happy in, he tries to be a good father but doesn't always make it work, he's prone to being selfish, finds himself backsliding into a relationship he thinks he needs to move on from, and is overall reluctant to being vulnerable or emotionally available. That's Beth! And honestly, I think it makes sense for Annie to seek that in a man given her most formative relationship in life is with her sister. (It's why I'll forever be mad too that we never got any Beth + Greg scenes!)

Of course, Annie's not that much better - she deflects with humour and he lets her, but when she circles back to vulnerability, which she usually does, he can't bring himself to be open with her about his feelings which is I think clearest in their scene together in 1.09.

And then she deflects, again, with a joke.

I talk about it a lot in the context of Beth and Rio where I think the show does a really good job of depicting that some dynamics are really hard to change. Whether its Beth and Rio's inherit omissions of truth and their games, or hell, even Beth as the placating, mothering housewife and Dean as the philandering breadwinner, a dynamic established can sometimes feel like a dynamic immovable, and I do think a part of that is what's at fault with Annie and Greg. It's why they so often become kids when they're together again, but I think is also why the space to be honest and open with each other is often seen as a chance to joke or shrug off or make light of everything that was once, and still is, real between them.

It's not to say they don't feel it, or that they don't know. It's just easier to not say it and to not have to deal with the consequences of what it actually means.

#thanks for this! #i ended up watching a bunch of scenes again to try and find that annie and greg one and OH the overwhelming sense of affection i had #for this show #immediately resurfaced #haha #i think i might be ready to finally rewatch in full #annie x greg #nbc good girls #annie marks #greg #welcome to my ama #gg asks

I just like imagining Dean frantically running around the ship in his little red shirt and Sam in blue seeing him pass by over and over again until they reunite in the evening and Dean makes Sam run his sore feet 🥺 (it's okay Dean takes care of Sam's shoulders) ((command is wary about putting them on the same planet side missions but damn they're good together so))

🥺🥺🥺

Yes to this! I can totally see Sam as a science officer, meanwhile Dean is barking orders in the machine room. Castiel could be the weird doctor who does perform miracles but delivers the most horrible diagnosis bluntly, with a straight face and a terrible bedside manner. Love the idea of Sam and Dean sharing a room and being a mayhem on planet side missions - but hey, they're good so there isn't anything anyone can do about it. I wonder who would be captain.

Alternatively, I can see an episode where they get thrown into the Star Trek universe through angel shenanigans and have to pretend they actually know what they're doing. Sam'd do his absolute best with a strained patience and Dean would be a total geek about it, kinda like with the Dr Sexy ep. Crush on the captain optional.

A random question - do you use any special software when writing - perhaps simply Word, or Scrivener? Or do you have any particular recommendations on that front? Thanks in advance!

Oooh thanks for this question! I use scrivener for my professional work. Much easier to track longer pieces and to restructure at a later date. You can keep all of your research in one place too. I highly, highly recommend it.

Word is much more fully featured than it used to be too, so can also be used very effectively.

For fic I just use Google docs or spaffing the whole thing direct into browser though 😂
