For the prompt: Buck accidentally blurts "I love you" to Tommy and freaks out because he doesn't want to scare Tommy by saying it too soon.
Thank you for sending the prompt, I struggled a bit with this one but here we go ✨
Buck wakes up to warm fingers skimming his stomach and soft lips trailing along his neck and shoulder. It's a wonderful way to wake up, to be honest, but he would've slept for another hour or so.
"Baby, wake up," Tommy murmurs in his ear, nuzzling his lobe. "Evan," he insists, now pressing a kiss to the hinge of his jaw.
Buck pretends he's still sleeping and basks in the warmth that Tommy radiates, surrounding him like a blanket.
"Evan," Tommy whispers, nuzzling his neck. "I know you're awake. Come on, Evan, the lake is waiting for us."
Buck groans sleepily, burrowing his head further into the pillow. The lake can wait.
"Baby," Tommy says again, and he's just teasing him at this point, like the little shit he is. "It's almost eight, and I'm so excited to spend two days in a cabin at the lake with you. Come on, sleeping beauty," he insists, now poking him in the ribs.
Buck jolts and squirms as Tommy starts tickling him. "You're the worst," he whines and lazily turns around, glaring at him, failing to hold back a yawn. "You're lucky I love you."
Tommy's eyes go wide, his whole face softening while his lips curve up and his nose scrunches. And Buck— oh, fuck. He said that, didn't he?
He was doing so well at keeping those words at bay, safely tucked behind his ribcage, but now that his brain is still foggy with sleep and his brain to mouth filter is clearly not working... They slipped out.
"Uh—" he clears his throat. "I can't and I don't want to take them back because they're true, I love you. But I know it's too soon– you don't have to say it back and I hope this doesn't scare you off–"
Tommy doesn't say it back, but captures his lips in a deep, thorough kiss that pours millions of I love yous right into his soul.
"I love you, Evan. I think I started falling for you the minute you smiled at me for the first time," Tommy says when they pull back to breathe, thumbing at his cheekbones. "It's not too soon. I love you."

Shaking Bells Hells by the shoulders again: You had a very good recon mission just seeing the other side of the Bloody Bridge and extracting basic info in a small town. Take a moment to report back to people in power all the useful things you already learned. Get more spells/supplies from them. Then continue to the heart of the enemy. Time is short, but probably not so short that you can't take an extra hour or two to do that. Keyleth can tree teleport and she knows where you were. She just couldn't immediately jump to you because she had things to do/settle first. It's a war, powerful people can't come to your aid at the drop of a hat.

I really hope I'm not bothering you lol I'm just insane about the way Brennan designed this fight you have no idea. The Bad Kids rolling high Intiative and rocking up with fly really is SO clutch the action economy is NOT on their side. They're outnumbered, most level 20 class features are no joke (like. Kipperlilly cannot be hit with an advantage and if she fails an ability check she can turn it into a 20 for free because rogues are stupid) ((also obsessed with implications that power grinding gives them abilities but not the stats to use them as efficiently bc they lack battle experience or whatever and that makes sense. Like assuming HP is your ability to take a hit in a fight, it makes sense that you wouldn't be as used to it because you've never had to take a hit from someone who can kill you))
The players just played so well. DnD is such a cool game. I can't wait to see what happens next :)))
Yeah! I think it's cool mechanical storytelling to give the RG's level 20 features but lower level stats to reflect the corners they've been cutting.
And I know a nailbiter can be extremely thrilling (and it's not like this fight is a walk in the park for the record, Porter is *dangerous* and the RG's would be too) but I personally really like watching people be competent. I like watching both the players and characters really show mastery of the ins and outs of combat. I like Fig being like, "We need to deal with Oisin first" and Emily in the AP going, "I know Wizards are nasty. I've watched Adaine." I like seeing how far they've come from the first time they had to stop an evil staff member in this gym.
The tides could turn for the worst next episode but, even if they do, I love that we're getting to in a very concrete way see that all their effort and training and camaraderie has paid off.

hello! i’ve been seeing a reference to a coke bottle in some elvis fics (lol) and i was wondering if you could explain the origin of that please ☺️
hello!!! darling anon!! i feel privileged to be the person you chose to ask!!!
So we’ve gotta go right back in time to explain why the coke bottle references are frequent and (ever present) in fics. So back to ‘55-57 - Elvis was coming under pressure for his ‘obscene’ dancing; The New York Daily News declared that Elvis was ‘suggestive and vulgar, tinged with the kind of animalism that should be confined to dives and bordellos’. Ed Sullivan was refusing to host him on his show until he saw the success after his Milton Berle performance although he was still reluctant after watching his suggestive wiggling (lol). He told reporters Elvis ‘wasn’t fit for family entertainment.’ But nonetheless invited him on for three performances; on his third appearance he was censored from the waist up to prevent such uhhh…. swinging body parts. (below: milton berle show hound dog performance)
youtube
Or as Elvis puts it himself much later ‘I was a little, bitty guy with a shaky leg. So, Ed sullivan saw me and said, "Mmm, son of a bitch." Anyway, they put me on TV and filmed me from the waist up.’ (below: ‘waist up’ performance of don’t be cruel on the ed sullivan show jan ‘57)
youtube
But where the coke bottle comes into all of this is that Ed Sullivan is quoted as saying;
“He’s got some kind of device hanging down below the crotch of his pants–so when he moves his legs back and forth you can see the outline of his cock. … I think it’s a Coke bottle. … We just can’t have this on a Sunday night. This is a family show!”
Whether he actually said such a statement is a little unclear to me - so whether this is true or simply part of the rumour mill that mirrors the shock at his uhhhh gyrations and ‘revelatory outline’ is uncertain.
Marlo Lewis, Ed Sullivan’s producer, quotes a conversation where a musician came to Ed and said not to put Elvis on the show anymore because he’s a bit too much - when Ed questioned what he meant by this apparently he responded, ‘Well, Elvis does this shaking of the legs and playing his guitar, and he’s now hanging a Coke bottle inside of his pants so that when he wags his legs it looks like part of his organ has grown quite a bit.’
Thus the rumour of Elvis’ swinging coke bottle was born.
(At least….that’s where I believe the references to him being hung like a coke bottle comes from lol - if anyone else has any further knowledge or quotes pls let us know!)
here’s some pics for you to decide for yourself - is it a coke bottle, is it his cock?

another bucktommy prompt – this one specifically because i looove how big and strong they both are: character a is having both hands full with bags (maybe from a shopping trip?) and character b says "let me hold that", referring to the bags. character a misunderstands, thinking character b wants to hold hands, so they promptly switch all bags to one hand and take hold of character b's hand. you decide who is who is this scenario!
Thank you for this prompt, I loved it! ❤️
Buck greets the young girl behind the counter and follows his boyfriend outside, putting his card back into the wallet. They're hosting a 118 hang out at Tommy's place - their place now, actually, which is why they're the hosts - and they've bought tons of food and beverage.
Tommy's hands are both full with bags and they've parked away from the grocery shop's entrance since the parking lot was packed, but as much as Buck's enjoying the view of his boyfriend's muscles bulging as he effortlessly carries the bags, he wants to help.
"Let me hold that," he says after he's pocketed his wallet and his hands are free.
Tommy glances at him and smoothly shifts the three bags he's carrying on his left hand to his right one, lacing his fingers with Buck, leaving him speechless because damn, his boyfriend is really a beast.
Buck stares in awe as Tommy keeps walking like he's not carrying five heavy bags on one hand, and suddenly his throat goes dry. "I– I meant let me hold some of the bags, you really are something else. Fuck, you're so strong."
Tommy giggles, ducking his head. "Oh, sorry for the misunderstanding, but I really wanted to hold your hand."
Buck swats his bicep, and right after they finish loading their groceries in the car, he pushes his boyfriend against the side door and kisses him stupid, his fingers digging in his ripped arms and squeezing.
(Yeah, he has a thing with Tommy's muscles, sue him.)

One personal theory of mine is that prior to the shattering Radahn and the redmanes lived with Rykard at the volcano manor, from the redmane knight armor description:
"When they were driven to defeat by Malenia's scarlet rot, the Redmane Knights burned the crest on the left breast of their armor to indicate their resolve.
"Alas, dear home, I shan't see you again! For our duty is to remain here, a bulwark against the blight.""
And if Caelid wasn't their original home, than the volcano manor seems like the most likely candidate considering the fire themes, it would also explain the prominently displayed painting of Radahn.
Thinking about Radahn, people tend to assume Radahn is loyal to the golden order and at odds with his carian siblings, mostly because of him stopping the stars and by extension stopping Ranni's fate.
But I think that's missing the very important reason as to why he stopped the stars in the first place, according to a sword monument:
"The Starscourge Conflict
Radahn alone holds Sellia secure
And stands tall, to shatter the stars"
So we know it was done to save Sellia, and if we analyze Sellia a bit, from the eternal darkness spell description:
"Forbidden sorcery of Sellia, Town of Sorcery.
Creates a space of darkness that draws in sorceries and incantations.
This sorcery can be cast while in motion.
Originally a lost sorcery of the Eternal City; the despair that brought about its ruin made manifest. "
And from the fingerslayer blade description:
"The hidden treasure of the Eternal City of Nokron; a blade said to have been born of a corpse.
This blood-drenched fetish is proof of the high treason committed by the Eternal City and symbolizes its downfall."
So Sellia was composed of the survivors of Nokron, a culture that was adamantly opposed to the greater will, and for their "high treason", was destroyed by Astel, a creature from the stars. Possibly sent or lured to them by the greater will, with that part about their proof of treason being a symbol for their downfall
And if the hidden night maiden we fight in Sellia was any indication, then Sellians were not just the descendants of heretics, but descendants that still secretly had ties to their roots.
Now consider that Radahn defended these heretical escapees against another threat from the stars.
It wouldn't even be a stretch to think this new threat was another one set up by the greater will, to finish what it started with the eternal city.
As for this action sealing off Ranni's fate, he might have simply not known that sealing the stars would prevent her fate being fulfilled? Even Ranni herself didn't know killing Radahn was the key until you tell her about it.
And when you're looking for hidden paths to an underground city, it's understandable that "slam a hole into it with a meteor" wouldn't be their first instinct.
The opening of the game also makes it pretty clear that Radahn was on the side besieging Lyendell during the shattering, fighting Morgott.
It's funny to consider that Radahn's tower was the most suspicious and heavily guarded divine tower in the game, even Mohg only sent the omen twins for his tower.
But blackflame monks shared his divine tower alongside redmane knights, with a godskin apostle guarding the old sword of their infamous godslaying queen.
For someone so clearly interested in godslaying, It would be weirder if he wasn't involved in the night of the black knives with his siblings.
It's no wonder that Morgott would lump Radahn as a traitor, all these suspicious or outright hostile activities aside, the only argument I've seen for him being loyal to the golden order is him sealing the stars.
But like I discussed above, his starscourge feat only seems loyal if you ignore all the context that surrounds it, when you take into account everything about Sellia, it's more an act of loyalty to the carians than anything.
Adding to that, one personal theory of mine is that prior to the shattering, Radahn and the redmanes lived with Rykard at the volcano manor, from the redmane knight armor description:
"When they were driven to defeat by Malenia's scarlet rot, the Redmane Knights burned the crest on the left breast of their armor to indicate their resolve.
"Alas, dear home, I shan't see you again! For our duty is to remain here, a bulwark against the blight.""
And if Caelid wasn't their original home, then the volcano manor seem like the most likely candidate considering the fire themes, it would also explain the prominently displayed painting of Radahn there.
I completely agree that people are too quick to assume that Radahn is loyal to the Golden Order (and by extension, that he was acting in opposition to his siblings)! You’ve provided a really great summary of a lot of Radahn’s anti-Golden Order connections, and I think your summary of Sellia is especially spot on.
A crucial point you brought up that I didn’t even realize myself is that Iji does not even consider that Radahn is the obstacle in Ranni’s way until he has to think about it… here is his full dialogue:
“Oh, no, wait... How did I not see it before? I ought to retire as war counsellor for such a gross oversight! Let me explain. The fate of the Carian royal family is guided by the stars. As is the fate of Lady Ranni, first heir in the Carian royal line. But General Radahn is the conqueror of the stars. Who stood up to the swirling constellations, halting their movement in a smashing victory. And so, if General Radahn were defeated, the stars would once again resume their movement. As would Lady Ranni's destiny. Perhaps, even, revealing the elusive path. That leads to Nokron.”
The fact that Iji is just now coming to this realization suggests that there was never any significant feud between the siblings, and that Radahn had other reasons for challenging the stars. If Radahn had acted against Ranni and was a major obstacle in her plans, wouldn’t that problem be more than an afterthought to them?
Regarding Radahn halting the stars, the telescope item description is the main piece of evidence that people cite as evidence for his loyalty to the Golden Order:
“During the age of the Erdtree, Carian astrology withered on the vine. The fate once writ in the night skies had been fettered by the Golden Order.”
Though the logic makes sense, that interpretation always felt a little off to me, since the description doesn’t even mention Radahn and it feels like such a nonspecific statement… as if what it means is to make a generalized observation of how the Erdtree’s/Golden Order’s prominence has diminished Caria’s power (which is demonstrably true!). Furthermore, as you say, there aren’t really any other significant pieces of evidence that indicate that Radahn halted the stars out of Golden Order fanaticism. And as I’ve explored in previous asks, Radahn is not so much an Erdtree fanatic as he is a Godfrey fanatic (no tree images anywhere… just lions!).
As you have alluded to, the biggest piece of evidence that Radahn is A) not loyal to the Golden Order, and B) not working against his siblings is that the presence of Abductor Virgins in Caelid and at Redmane Castle means Radahn was almost certainly working with Rykard — the Golden Order’s most prominent traitor and blasphemer, who explicitly intended to destroy the Erdtree! Rykard in turn owns a portrait of his brother above his fireplace, indicating that he loves and respects him and probably has a close relationship with him — if Radahn was a defender of the Erdtree and stood in opposition to Rykard, then one would not expect Rykard to hold his brother’s image in such high regard. The fact that Rykard displays these two paintings in his manor simultaneously is speaking to me…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This brings me to my personal theory: that Radahn didn’t give a shit about the Erdtree being destroyed, and perhaps even encouraged his siblings’ plans to do so, because he wanted to be able to LARP as Godfrey in the ensuing power vacuum… similar to Godfrey’s string of conquests during the Crucible era. Radahn doesn’t need the Erdtree to play out his Godfrey power fantasies! This would explain why at least he and Rykard seemed to be on good terms during the Shattering.
