“When you torture people,” Nesta said, flatly. “For whatever it is they’ve done. They throw them in the dark and they throw them to you.”
There had never been a choice.
Azriel was the bastard son of an Illyrian lord. There was only blood, for him. It would have been swords and battlefields. A lifetime of war. Killing his own, when the disobeyed. Crippling his own, when they dreamt of more.
Azriel’s hands would have always had to do the work- for Rhain, for Shahar, for Rhysand. It was no small thing that had made him what he was, but it was no choice either.
“I mean you no harm,” Azriel settled on saying, nearly soundless. Colorless, as the deepening shadow, his many many forebears in Night’s unholy work crowding close in cold comfort.
It was no physical nearness, but Nesta’s eyes flickered up, following what was not light like a moth.
“What is the point in hurting them,” she huffed. “What is the point, when you?” She made a vast slashing gesture toward him, lingering enough Azriel could not reign in the shadows that slipped, trying to coil around her aching wrist in support. “You don’t need a knife to know.”
No, he didn’t.
And the first century of his work for the throne, Truthteller had been nothing but a friend, a mark of respect: Azriel might carry of sword at times, might have survived training, but he would never carry a blessed blade of his people.
So Rhain had made him one.
Starsteel did not bend for High Fae hands, but it had melted. Become something better, worse, beneath Azriel’s young, unfettered grip.
“I don’t.” Azriel admittedly, softly. “I do not choose what my High Lord asks of me.”
thinking about suna-nii insisting that you move in with him and share a bed because ‘he can’t afford another mattress and the couch would hurt his back’. anything to get his baby sissy in his arms at night.
rin nii is such a sneaky one. he absolutely convinces mom and dad that he 'just dont think you should live alone yet', and 'he doesn't mind, it's nice having some company' and 'until you have a steady relationship, you should save up'. and of course mom is more than glad to see you two getting along better now you're older, because rintaro used to be so distant
as for you, well,,, he's pretty good at not making it a big deal. yea, you can walk around in barely anything, this is your house too. yea, so what if he cuddles into you and his hands are just about on your ass, don't make it weird. and yea, you have to share a bed,, but 'he's a deep sleeper' dont worry about it. and don't lock the bathroom door, it's not like he's not gonna barge in
that's not even to talk about how he pavlov's you like a dog to get your kisses to linger a bit longer, or to settle in his lap instead of next to him
One of the best Voyager scenes to indicate Tuvok & Neelix's dynamic and how I think Tuvok is just as if not more 'annoying'(positive) than Neelix is when Neelix pours Tuvok a fresh squeezed glass of a fruit juice blend and Tuvok's like (paraphrased) "I don't want to drink this." and Neelix is like "Can you please try it?" and Tuvok's like "I don't want to, you're really bad at this sort of thing. It's going to taste bad." and Neelix says that Ensign XYZ said she LOVED it, she even had a second glass! And Tuvok says Ensign XYZ could drink poison without a second thought and Neelix is like "Tuvok could you please just TRY it? Just try a little SIP of it PLEASE??" and Tuvok sighs and rolls his eyes and sniffs it before taking a sip and it turns out he loves it. Turns out it tasted good actually. And then after all that Neelix tries to talk to him over eggs (which he's again cooking fresh for him) and Tuvok tells him he doesn't wanna hear "the life history of his breakfast." Absolutely insufferable this man I would have burned his eggs on PURPOSE!!!!
ok guys i dont wanna be a hater but im gonna be 100% honest i didnt rlly like the nimona movie 😭 I MEAN IT WAS FUN. it was nice. but i feel like it was missing everything that made me like the original graphic novel and honestly by the last like 30 minutes i was kind of just waiting for it to be over so i could read the book again 😭 NO HATE TO ANYONE WHO RLLY LIKED IT believe me when i say i dont think it is bad or anything. but i feel like just sooooo much was changed that it didnt feel like nimona at all to me. idk how to explain it, im sure once i reread the book i’ll be able to put it into words since the original will be more fresh in my mind. i think it was good but as someone who was literally obsessed w the og graphic novel it was honestly kinda disappointing. but i dont rlly care honestly its still rlly cool it got a movie!!
but in my mind at least it proves that some things dont need to be made into a movie. ppl act like movies are the best form a piece of media can take and if something gets made into a movie then that’d be the peak form of it. but i honestly think nimona works wayyyyyy better in its original graphic novel form. most of the early stuff is way more slice of life lowkey stuff that lets you get attached to ballister and nimona as characters and get invested in their relationship w each other, BEFORE all the angsty final act stuff happens. also there honestly was just a ton of stuff that felt to me like it worked better in the original, like jousting tournament thing instead of the knighting ceremony, nimona being captured and being forced to turn into her “true” form rather than this new version with it just sort of happening bcuz of Emotions, etc. also the movie suffered from a lot of pacing and tone issues imo but the former i think is just from that lack of the slow buildup of their friendship, and the latter is something that i think just worked better in the book. idk again I’LL BE ABLE TO SAY THIS STUFF MORE CONCRETELY WHEN I ACTUALLY REREAD THE BOOK but i dont remember there being so much jokes and goofy shit DURING serious scenes. like iirc in the original during serious scenes it was SERIOUS. but in the movie theres so many unnecessary unfunny jokes and stuff. idk IDK i probably just had too high expectations idk. anyways
No thoughts head empty, just Kaeya gently running a hand through your hair as you both lie down on the couch with a warm blanket sharing stories and drinks. Body relaxed, mind at ease.
His thumb rubs at your arm lovingly with a tiny smile as you recount something funny that happened a few days ago. He loves seeing you smile, loves to hear your laugh and excited rambling.
He kisses your forehead and chuckles at the blush that blooms on your cheeks, but you just feel so happy, so warm.
This is nice...
hhhhhhhh crys!! you always put the prettiest, loveliest images in my mind of my faves.
just...spending quality time alone w kaeya like this, enjoying a couple of cocktails at home together while exchanging stories and laughs. mindlessly twirling a strand of his long, blue hair around your fingers as you recount and bemoan the sheer lack of competence you have to deal with at work some days. and he reminds you in his pleasant, melodic voice,
"just remember, my love...stupidity is job security,"
sending you into another fit of chuckles because he's so right?? then you shake your head while telling him how entertained you are by his way with words sometimes. and it makes him smile back at you bc hearing you say the things you like about him warms his once-icy heart. he secretly hopes that you never get tired of him and his cheeky antics, not knowing that his playfulness is one of the things that made you fall in love with him in the first place.
Had a fun/questionable idea the other day so here's CA1 and CA2. Though a space robot family duo would be fun to mess with so here ^^.
Quick sidenote, they do have proper hands!! I just didn't want to draw all the fingers :). Also the years listed are their operating timeframes. CA2 still does work while CA1 is retired and living in a robotics museum.
I might post more doodles of these guys since culminating/exams are keeping me from working on the submas comic as much. It was fun to map these two out so I hope you like them too ^^ See you later and have a good night.
My attraction to Vilkas can be summarized by “I want to punch his smug face so fkn hard before shoving him against the wall and beating each other up” and also at the same time “come to me you dumbass wolf ill give you all of the love and comfort and gentle touches and bjs you need literally have every permission to end me i love y-”
Share a random Evanatsu headcanon of yours I need food 🥺
god, anon, i will always provide you food 😭 😭 😭 😭
Surprisingly, however, I can't really think of anything new at the moment, so I'll just copy and paste some soft Eva things I posted for an anon on curiouscat a good while back. (Please keep in mind these mostly have to do with my main fic for them, wmebsd, so if you aren't familiar with it and how I portray them, it might seem a little ooc? Many people have told me I'm very good at keeping them in character though lol)
--main fic vibes already confirmed she'll buy things and spoil her not-girlfriend on a not-date
--she likes to take natsuhi off the island so she can get away for a bit and relax (probably backfires because natsuhi's too worried about being suspected)
--praise kink, but like, in an actual soft and she wants to praise natsuhi sort of way
--petting natsuhi's hair is one i've messed with numerous times
--also her brushing natsuhi's bangs back to kiss her forehead and asking if her headache still hurts when they finish fucking-
--doing and acting certain ways to try and get her to finally fall asleep and get a good amount of rest
--asking her a lot if she's okay and alright with keeping going, as well as carefully kissing and wiping any tears away and telling her to relax and take deep breaths when nervous and upset
