#without expecting anything in return

[goldenpeng]

Xiao being a pet. Just chilling, eating some seeds, getting skritches.

Why does this sound so appealing.

#––– ❛ ramblings 【 ooc. 】 #not to make this weird #but he just wants to be owned sometimes? #because it implies being wanted #someone caring enough to look after his needs #willingly giving him affection #without expecting anything in return #other than that same affection back #sth sth the desire to be held and cherished #sth sth the desire to not think and just exist

i would kneel on the ground to tie the laces of your boots especially made for kicking ass. i would unlace your fanciest pair of heels at the end of the night and would carry you to bed; i'd massage the balls of your feet, the stiffness in your calves and press a kiss to your knee.

i would tie up your hair when you've got soap suds or flour up to your elbows, leaving the softest of kisses behind your ear. i would plait your hair, combing my fingers through your hair while we watch a film. soft yellow lamplight and fairy lights flickering we're in a world of our own.

i would peel all the oranges, bananas, pomegranates for you. you name it and it's done, baby. even if i haven't long nails to do so, i'll get a knife; i'll find a way. in fact, give me a knife and a peeler so i may peel apples and cut them into bite sized pieces. fruit preparation. i would cut fruit for you if i loved you.

i would hold an umbrella over your head when it's pouring. especially if you're taller than me, honey. i'd stretch my arm so that you don't get caught in the rain. i would walk through a rainstorm to see you, you know. but maybe on occasion we could dance in that rain, hot summer air keeping our shirts stuck to our skin; yet there we'll stay, laughing and drinking in this beauty.

AU where Loki doesn’t interfere with Thor’s banishment at all and it takes Thor years to prove himself worthy and when he returns to Asgard everything is just. The same. Nothing seems to have changed at all and everyone greets him like his absence was a minor obstacle that didn’t fundamentally change Thor and the worst part is Loki stepped down from the place as regent without any delay and Thor can’t help but feel there’s something underlaying the way his brother looks at him now and won’t let him touch him and Thor doesn’t know what he could have missed because he doesn’t think he would have found anything wrong with the things around him and how everyone behaves if he hadn’t spent time on Earth reflecting.

#the warriors 4 not being interested in anything Thor ‘learnt’ at all #and making it clear that Thor was punished unfairly and the AllFather’s decision had been harsh #Loki saying he’s happy for Thor and Thor sees the way the smiles are forced and he sees the way Loki avoids any touch #Thor hating the way Frigga talks about Loki’s short regency and Thor’s absence like it wasn’t two whole decades or something #like she’s so grateful to have her other son back without ever addressing why he was gone #Thor just. growing during his time on earth and being much more aware of the behaviour around him #he learns to be critical and assess why people around him may act a certain way #once he realises that it’s possible for him or anyone else to be fallible and make mistakes it’s over for Asgard for him I think #Thor returns and Loki gives him the throne and everyone expects him to obviously have the throne #and Odin is sleeping and Thor isn’t comfortable with the way everyone accepts him as king regent after the banishment #Loki who either never lashed out against Jotunheim or did and it was brushed away and no one thinks about it as anything #but Loki is still deeply affected and acts the way he always would have but Thor can feel it’s not the same #he knows something is wrong and Loki won’t say anything about it and Thor doesn’t know how to bring it up #Thor sees Loki metaphorically receding into the shadows to become a nonpresence so loud Thor hears it even after returning from decades away #Thor goes to Earth and gets his priorities in order gets a new worldview learns not to take what he has for granted #and finds out he actually despised Asgard #he’s been back a week and he can’t stand it

The alpha greets Kinn with Kim at his side, a possessive hand on the back of his neck forcing Kim to keep his head bowed. He gnashes his teeth against the radiating command of submit, submit, submit. He refuses to look at his brother, even when he hears Kinn’s sharp inhale. 

Oh, Kim is certain he makes quite a shocking sight. His alpha has been kind enough to allow him pants for this meeting, a pair of filthy days-old sweats that still stink of his heat. The rest of his body is left bare. Every last mark on his body—the bruises sucked and beaten into his flesh, the scratches raked into his skin—is on display. And the crowning jewel—the still-healing bite in Kim’s neck, too high to even think of hiding it, barely scabbed over and flushed an angry red. 

“Kim—” 

The alpha digs his claws into Kim’s nape and he snarls, jerking in the unforgiving grip. He’s half-feral with fury and doesn’t care at all about the sticky warmth now dripping down his spine. 

“Thank you for the gift,” the alpha says smoothly, dragging Kim into his side. He fights it, digging his own claws into his palms. He will not submit. “Not as docile as an omega should be, but it was a pleasure to break him in nonetheless.” 

Kinn, forever wearing his heart on his sleeve, stands there struck dumb. Kim wants to yell at him, to demand he do something, say something, anything other than stand there, his silence an admission of his weakness. But Kim, trembling beneath the force of fury and fear and that fucking command, pulsing through their bond, can’t force the words to come. 

“I believe we have business to discuss,” Kinn finally manages, a small relief, even if his voice is tight with barely restrained horror and hatred. 

“Yes. Let’s find somewhere more comfortable. Come along, darling.”

As if Kim has a choice. He’s led by neck as the alpha turns on his heel and begins walking down the hall. Is it a deliberate choice to pass the room where Kim was forced to spend his heat, the thick, cloying scent of it still wafting out as they pass? It must be. Kim feels the charge in the air, Kinn’s hackles rising. 

Kinn wants to kill him. The alpha that has taken what does not belong to him. He wants to protect his pack. Kim wants to tell him it’s too late for that. Years too late. Their father ensured a long time ago that there was nothing left to protect Kim from, no torment he’s been spared. Nothing he hasn’t learned to endure, just as he will continue to endure this. 

Kim catches Kinn’s eyes only long enough to shake his head. Slowly, so that his brother will understand. 

What’s done is done, he wills his brother to understand. Kim has already sacrificed himself to his brother’s cause. If Kinn ruins it all now in the name of hollow vengeance—it will have all been for nothing. The violation, the mutilation, a bite mark in his flesh that will scar into an unbreakable bond, forever tying him to this thing that is less than a man. Kim needs his sacrifice to be worth it. 

This alpha will get what’s coming to him someday. Kim will make sure of it. But when that day comes, it will be his hand that delivers the killing blow. It’s the least of what he’s owed.

#cookie writes #just a lil thaaang #i love fics where Korn uses Kim as a femme fatale #Kinn would never allow it #would never ask for it #but in this fic #Kim knows he can sell himself once last time #to make Kinn's life easier #so he does #unfortunately he's not expecting the alpha he seduces to give him a mating bite #and it's going to fuck him uppp #then everyone tries to force him to bond with Chay to help override his other bond #which just makes Kim even angrier #he doesn't want to bond with anyone after what he's been through #he wants to be left alone for the rest of his life #but chay is sweet and unassuming #takes care of him so well without demanding anything in return #he's really hard for Kim to resist

(Going insane boinkinh one AU in my head)

Hey hey hey

May I interest you in

(Slowly slides my FaaF AU towards you but void just Disappears without a trace one day before the accolade)

Teehee

#thylacines can talk #faaf au #i love this au very yummy. a very fun twist on how Flower's dynamic with their parents would progress afterwards #the vessels live but the void exits their bodies in quite a violent manner (extreme pain and literally throwing up an entire person worth of #void). Flower was on guard duty and theyre found barely conscious in a pool of rapidly evaporating void. passes out seconds later #PK also had the displeasure of experiencing extene pain and burning as void forced its way out through his skin <3 And his moulds all melted #and evaporated. after the initial shock wears off theyre hit with “Oh No #the vessel“ and rush to find them. Well somebody else was already looking for the royal pair about this #Flower wakes up dazed and in pain in their father's workshop. their stomach hurts their throat burns and they feel lightheaded. the entire #place is considerably brighter than they remember and in they can hear two faint voices in the background but theyre too preoccupied with #examining their now pure white hand in shock to focus on anything else. until they hear their mother say “My wyrm they're awake” and #suddenly their parents are by their side. Now the two have no idea what void leaving their body might have done to them. Are they still #hollow? are they still dead? do they understand anything are they sentient? or was what was done pernament even without the void? do they #have the mind of a child if their sentience was restored? or do they remember anything? So WL stays by their side and helps them sit up #while their father goes to grab his tools. She's trying to keep them calm and comfort them but theyre still too disoriented to pay her much #attention. Until their father checks their breathing and they yelp audibly from the cool metal contacting their skin and suddenly they seem #much more alert. theyve never experienced true coldness before. PK quickly apologises and tries to be gentler with them. Theyre breathing #properly and they have a heartbeat. And he just pauses for a long while just. listening to their heart beating. Many emotions to be had #after the exam's over he asks them point blank how theyre feeling. And Flower looks up at him still seeming a little disoriented. and then #they lower their hand to their stomach and mutter 'My tummy hurts...a-and my throat burns'. It's to be expected after the way the void #left their body. so he goes to grab them some water and meds and they also ask for food and a mirror. And after he returns they just stare #at themself in the mirror and pull on their bangs for a while then blurt out 'I have your eyes' when PK asks if everything's okay. And he #and he almost chokes up as he replies 'Yeah...Yeah you do'. Flower eventually spins a lie that they remember everything but its all distant #and blurry. Like they were not aware until now. They figured it'd be better to not break their hearts #And now the three have to figure out how to be a family while PK is also scrambling to find a new solution to the infection #oops i meant to only give a brief rundown in the tags which is why it was in the tags. but i got too invested KDHDKFB

when the captain goes about "he thinks he owes me" regarding the time he was there for monk post-trudy's death there's a tone there that says 'i wish he didn't' and 'i did it because i want to' but specifically 'he doesn't owe me a thing, i did it because i cared and still do'

#monk 2002 #adrian monk #stottlemeyer x monk #leland stottlemeyer #stottlemonk #monk tv: s02e05 #mr. monk and the very very old man #like gosh im floored #he doesnt want to hurt monk's feelings like he doesn't want to hurt karen's #captain so what youre saying in that monk is also your wife? #when you're lowkey in another marriage without knowing it #BUT TRULY WTH STOTTLEMEYER YOU ARE THE SWEETEST. MOST CARING ABOUT MONK IM CRYING #he didnt do it because he expected something in return #he wanted monk back. he wanted and wants monk to heal #he wanted him to be better and get better and to have someone help him out in ways he couldnt #and he never ever expected anything in return #geniune pure care for his man. monk you have the captain's heart in your palm i hope #you know thisss

kinda cool how in season one eleven escapes the lab thinking she's the monster & in season four eleven escapes the lab again knowing she never was and that none of what happened was ever her fault.

and how in season two she goes on a journey to figure out part of her past and is told by another of the lab's victims that she needs to find strength in pain and anger & in season four we saw that it was her mother calling her by her real, human name and telling her that she loved her that gave her enough strength to overpower evil and banish it from their dimension, not the hurt and rage she felt at her being taken away. and that again, she was able to perform a miracle and bring her friend back to life by thinking of the love she showed her and the way she had always treated her like she was a human being.

she and her story are just really cool, methinks.

#being selflessly loved and treated like a human being what gives characters who have never once been shown that before without having to #give something back in return the strength to fight back and reach their final form is something that can be so personal #like. why am i crying in the club right now #terry called her JANE not a number but a NAME a real HUMAN name and told her she loved her! #and max treated her like a PERSON like a GIRL not a weapon or a superhero and she never asked eleven to do anything for her #she just loved her and treated her like a normal girl like a normal friend #and it was THAT which gave eleven the most strength #eleven who has always had to give in order to get eleven who gets punished whenever she steps outside of the box people put her in #eleven who didn't know that people could LIKE things until season three eleven who had never felt like a girl until season 3 #eleven who finds her strength to release herself from henry's vines when she looks at max and remembers tht she has to fight #for her the same way that max fought for her then bc she loves her she loves her friend so much #eleven who looks at a man who has never been treated like a person and in her last moments thinks of her mother and the fact that #she was loved and she was given a name that she is still a person despite everything that there is still kindness in this world and #THAT is what gives her the strength to save herself and literally unmake him and tear a fucking hole in time and space like. #are you kidding me bro how do u expect me to realize all of that and NOT cry like 😭 #the power of love... and being treated like a human being... to be seen and understood... there is always a light to be found in the dark #i'm . someone sedate me please for the love of god SEDATE ME PUT ME DOWN SHOOT A HORSE TRANQUILIZER AT MY ASS PELA SE

Sooooo annoyed with my sister. Her and her 2 kids are sick with a stomach bug, and instead of staying home tomorrow she's still going to work and is still having me babysit them. I really really don't want to risk catching what they have but I don't feel like I can possibly say no

#like normally i love babysitting them!! its the highlight of my week! #and i dont expect anything in return #but like. come on. she didnt even ask if i was comfortable still watching them. #and i dont feel like i can bring it up to her without seeming like an asshole #but i wanna be like. hey maybe you should. idk stay home with your extremely sick kids?? especially bc your also sick?? #ugh whatever im bitching for nothing bc i wont ever actually grow a spine and say any of this to her #pls pray i dont get sick lol! #txt #mine

Quan Cholang, the young dog warlord, was such a tragic character in the series and he was so similar to our main trio. He was thrust into power at a young age after his father’s untimely murder, dragged into a war he never wanted, had to lead the most disregarded province in nikan, and was the last bastion remaining against the republic and the hesperians. The hesperians wanted to remove all of dog province’s citizens from their homes in order to exploit the minerals of their land, and the republic wanted to subjugate them just as a matter of political principle. Cholang knew he couldn’t do anything, that his province was poor, had barely any people, had always been disregarded by the rest of the empire, and he knew the republic would crush him, but he refused to give in. when vaisra sent back his father’s decapitated head and corpse, cholang fled his own capital instead of capitulating. when the republic enforced sanctions on dog province, he asked his people to hold out a little longer and struggled alongside them in a futile attempt to maintain their autonomy. when rin’s army arrived, he fed and sheltered them despite his own province barely having any resources to spare. he gave rin and kitay (the most wanted criminals in the empire) his own personal quarters and rin was shocked at his kindness, without expecting anything in return. he was young, scared, leading a single, weak province against the strongest military force in the world and despite it all he refused to give up his people’s autonomy.

and then, against all odds, they won. cholang and venka conquered the north, rin defeated nezha at arlong, and the hesperians fled across the sea, with dog province’s minerals the last thing on their mind. cholang thought he had won, and that his people were safe.

and then, one day, he finds that rin and kitay are dead. nezha is the new ruler of the country and the hesperians are coming back. the hesperians want his province’s minerals, they don’t care who they have to remove to get them, and there is absolutely nothing cholang can do about it. he’s young, he’s scared, and his victory has slipped right out of his grasp. he’s played all his cards, held out every hope, but resistance was ultimately futile. he’s failed. and his people will suffer for it.

#the poppy war #the burning god #Quan cholang is CRIMINALLY underrated #Rin couldn’t have won without his army #They wouldn’t have even survived their mountain trek if he hadn’t helped them #Rin literally says she can’t remember the last time someone was kind without expecting anything in return #Also dog province respects the Hundred Clans while the rest of nikan just thinks they’re barbaric Hinterlanders #Tpw

how does one donate to the creator of s4s? they are literally so deserving of all my coins 💜

#like i can not begin to explain how important they are in this community #and to share their mods/program for free without expecting anything in return #yup definitely don't deserve them <3 #and cmar is another one! #i dont know what i would i do without creators like them #chatter #dl

And I mean this in the most neutral of ways, I am forever and always filling the role of care giver

#I’m just built like this. I can say it’s cause I’m a cancer or an ex teacher or a survivor or a people pleaser or any type of way #I’m just naturally built to care and love and I hate seeing people in pain and will drop anything and everything to be there #and I do so without expecting anything in return. it’s never tit for tat or keeping score #I’m just ready to give and nurture and listen always #I wish I was that gentle on myself more than anything else. and I long to receive it too because it’s always been given conditionally to me #maybe that’s why I am the way that I am. conditional love sucks and I know it too well #and I always want to give it freely because everyone is deserving #sorry just musing on things don’t mind me #wurm.txt

Also Patty giving Allison the money even though she isn't "expecting" something in return like Sam was. Thoughts?

#kcfh #kevin can fuck himself #one one hand it shows rhat Patty is manipulated by Allison without either kf them fully realising #although Patty knows she cant say no to Allison #but also it shows how Patty really cares for her even though shes not expecting anything in return #idk #any thiughts?
