it’s finally getting cold enough that i can bring my cardigan collection back into rotation without feeling like i’m gonna melt into a puddle the second i step outside!!!

#Seven.txt #my face #i have rematerialized back out of the void to once again make my once-in-a-blue-moon selfie & life update post #i’m running on 4 hours of restless sleep and the single banana i ate for lunch earlier today. let’s do this #hrrrrg i hate the lighting in my bathroom but i refuse to take pictures in the absolute Mental Illness Disaster Zone™️ that is my bedroom #anyways. got diagnosed with Mystery Pain Syndrome at the dentist today. so now i take ✨steroids✨ #the less funny explanation is that my tooth still hurts with pressure nearly a month post-root canal and That’s Not Good #so we’re trying some new medications to see if that fixes it. and if not then who knows. root canal pt.2 the sequel. or extraction. sigh #and so the Dental Saga continues. todays visit went quite well in spite of the unforeseen mystery pain delaying the tooth-shaving plans #we had some time to kill so he managed to fill some of my other tiny cavities while i was there today so that’s good #okay moving on. what else. uhh. OH they finally came out and ran the fiber to the house last week!!! now i’m just waiting on one more- #-guy to come and finish the interior install and the long awaited fast internet will finally be mine eheheheheeeee #now i can feel my hours upon hours of unedited gameplay footage breathing down my neck :) #man i’ve got so much stuff piled up right now. i’m drowning in Tasks and it’s a lil overwhelming but i’ll handle it all! eventually #uhhhhm my current writing project is coming along well! i’ve never put so much time and effort into a oneshot before in my life #its a labor of love though and i think i’m gonna be really proud of myself (and the fic) once it’s complete #even if no one reads it bc it’s so goddamn self indulgent and kinda lowkey throws canon out the window but like. fuck it! #if i want Astarion to write a song on piano and perform it for me while mentally taking me on a trip down memory lane. then so be it #fr though i’ve never written anything quite like this and i rlly want to do it justice. even if its unrealistic i still want it to be Good #in other news i received word that one of the chickens i sponsor at my local Gentle Barn has passed away so i had a lil cry abt that #i feel so bad for his little tiny chicken wife. they obviously loved each other and it’s like. so sad when one half of an old couple dies #like. she pulled him out of his depression after his 1st wife died. now who’s gonna be there to pull Her out… #anyways let’s not get all sad about that again. in happier news my cat who i presumed died/got killed has returned home uninjured!!! #after that huge stray dog chased her into the woods i thought we’d never find or see her again #but then the morning after i started grieving her she showed back up hungry as hell yet completely unharmed like the enigma that she is #so that’s one definite highlight from earlier this month. uhh what else. rapid fire summary of the past few weeks let’s go- #Jersey turned 10! Bullet turned 10! my 6 year Veganniversary happened! i’m approaching 700 days on DuoLingo! #i’ve written more than 20 thousand words! i’ve been facing some fears! fighting my OCD! taking care of myself!

If your requests are open: how about how Gladio treats his S/O softly? Like, I know people seem to prefer him as this really dominating fella, but how about a softer side to him? If that makes sense. Like, in what ways does he make his s/o feel special, or good, without the dominating aspect... uh... I don't think I wording this well. >

No worries anon I know exactly whatcha mean *finger guns* Get ready for a post about Soft Gladio my friends

Just gonna mush these two together: Heya, Emma! I’d like to ask for a little scenario of gladiolus and the s/o. She is short and normal weight. (Like 5'4) and being small compared to gladdy and when he hugs her, he just engulfs her!!!! Omg just imagining it’s so cute holy cow! I just want a really fluffy and soft one where he is admiring her with so much love in his eyes!!❤️❤️❤️❤️💕if you do-do this one I will love you forever!🌸

so FUN FACT gladio is a motherfuckin teddy bear believe it or not

yeah i know he’s some macho man a lot of the time 

but like

my dude

this man can be the softest soft to ever soft if it’s with the right person and at the right time

so let’s start with if he ever found you sad okay? okay

so idk maybe you’re in your room or something kinda just curled on the bed or sitting on the floor

or maybe when you’re sad you play the same song or something and so he’ll just Know

he’ll approach you kinda slowly, gauging whether or not you want to be alone from your reaction to seeing him

once he’s sure that everything is a-okay in terms of you allowing him to try and comfort you he’ll take a seat next to you

his voice will be hella soft okay?? like sO SOFT IT’LL FEEL LIKE YOU’RE BEING WRAPPED IN ONE OF THOSE REAL SOFT AND FLUFFY BLANKETS

and – if you’re okay with it – he’ll wrap an arm around your shoulders more than likely dwarfing you because this man is LARGE

or maybe he’ll pull you into his lap, his legs on either side of you, and just wrap his arms around your torso, letting you know that he is THERE and he LOVES YOU 

and he’ll whisper things about how even tho life sucks RIGHT NOW it won’t always suck and he’ll be there with you through both the sucky moments and the not sucky moments

lowkey i’m v curious as to how exactly a man with such a deep voice is able to whisper tho like ?????

anyway now let’s talk about this man when CUDDLING bc who doesn’t fuckin love cuddles  ((okay i mean some peeps likely don’t but that’s cool too they’re still valid and awesome but anYWAY CUDDLES))

while gladio doesn’t give Prompto Quality cuddles, his are easily a close second 

i mean, he’s so big there’s just so much area to cuddle!!!!

like couch cuddles okay?? you can literally just lay on top of this man

his arms will either rest on your hips, idly tracing abstract designs onto your skin where your shirt has ridden up

or he’ll just wrap his arms completely around you in a loose hug

and his muscles would make such good pillows??? like pls sign me up

if ya’ll are in bed, he’ll tangle his legs with yours whether you’re spooning or not 

if you’re the little spoon ((which you typically are more times than not)) he’ll have one of his arms draped over your side, his hand pressed against your tum once again drawing soothing patterns against the smooth flesh there

sometimes tho this big guy needs to be the little spoon bc some days are just Tough

so you’ll wrap your arms around his torso ((to the best of your ability)) and he’ll just want you to whisper soothing things into his ear or brush your lips against his neck

also gladio loves when you play with his hair okay?? like it’s so Soothing please play with this man’s hair braid it or whatever you wanna do just PLAY WITH IT

tho beware if you tug too much you’ll activate Dom Gladio 

Gladio also really REALLY loves to read with you ((I may be self-indulging a little here but bear with me))

whether both of you are simply enjoying each other’s company in silence as you each read a book

or one of you is reading to the other

he’ll absolutely LOVE it he finds this to be one of the most intimate things he can do with you without undressing you

tho idk maybe sometimes after a good sexing ya’ll will read together *shrug*

most typically this will happen in the living room/by the window ((esp if it’s a rainy day))

and he’ll either have you sitting on his lap or you’ll drape your legs of his own

if you drape your legs over his tho be prepared for him to idly run his hands along your legs

now lastly i’m going to talk to you about something v important: gladio coming back home

so we all know that this man is often out helpin the prince in some form or fashion 

so it’s understood that he’s gone for long periods of time

i know a lotta peeps talk about how welcome home sex is often rough with this man 

but imagine:

gladio comin home after being gone for a good month or two

idk why he just was

hunts or the prince who knows

but anyway

so this man when he sees you he drops his bag and just

wraps you in a hug so gentle and so loving you legit almost cry 

and maybe gladio’s crying too

i HC that while Gladio doesn’t cry often he’s not afraid of doing so

and after he’s held you and reminded himself that you are HERE and you are REAL he’ll pull away just enough to capture your lips with his

and it’s such a slow and sensual kiss

so different from what you’re use to okay it’s wonderful

and you honestly don’t understand how he’s able to make you feel like the most precious thing on earth but he DOES and gladio is wondering how he got so goddamn LUCKY to have smeone who greets him with open arms whenever he comes home after being gone for so long

whether the two of you move into the bedroom or not is up in the air

sometimes gladio just likes to cuddle with you until he falls asleep so he can be reminded that this is not a dream

these are the times that he’s the little spoon
