Biting as a love language BITING AS A LOVE LANGUAGE
YOU. YOU GET IT
Foul Legacy playfully nipping at your hand when you ruffle his hair, his sharp fangs scraping lightly at your skin. he never bites hard enough to draw blood (at least not intentionally), softly nibbling your fingers with a gentle trill, his tongue occasionally giving your palm a cheeky lick. it's rough, like a cat's, but he's so careful that it doesn't bother you at all, and he gives you an affectionate headbump of appreciation afterwards. sometimes if he wants your attention, he'll also lightly bite your clothes, tugging them gently until you turn and ask him what's up, grinning when he chitters in delight
you also start biting him too, although you can bite a bit hard since you can't do any real damage to his armor. it's a great stress reliever, being able to gnaw on something without damaging it, and Legacy's more than happy to let you idly bite his wrist or something. occasionally you'll jump up to hang onto him, biting his shoulders as a greeting, and he squeaks in surprise before letting out a series of chirps and trills, lifting you in his arms and giving your cheek a small lick- it's one of his versions of a kiss, and he purrs happily when you smooch his cheek in return, spinning you around in delight
The sound design and music of every episode is amazing, without question. But man the choiral singing that played whenever Naram was performing his great magic and moving around more water than a human can properly comprehend, I felt that shit reverbarate in my bones. Truly the perfect soundtrack for a godlike being in action. I felt like how i felt when was watching Nausicäa or Princess Mononoke for the first time.
Omg Ssreedy <3 saw you going off in my tags, you're the sweetest! ToT You have no idea how much i cherish your kind words, they really motivate me
Also congrats on the new chapter! It made me appreciate Reho so much, I keep growing fonder of this guy!! (Morrak absolutely wrecked him with his diagnosis tho, haha, my man didn't deserved to get dragged so hard)
Anyway that made me remember that I cooked something up last year, but never posted it. (apologies, I probably got some of their details wrong, I did this purely from memory ////) my headcanons of what Ara & Reho look like
GENTLE TREES NOOOOOO you can’t drop OC art in my inbox and expect me to be even the SLIGHTEST bit normal about it.
You’re so amazing, going off in your tags is a damn honor *salutes*
Dude Morrak WRECKED Reho last chapter, and I guess there’s not patient dr confidentiality in this AU because Morrak totally slandered the poor man to Katara of all people lol. At least Reho didn’t have to hear yet another person try to figure out what’s wrong with him haha.
Thank you Gentle you’re so amazing!!! I can’t wait to gush over your art some more in the tags
Today's polish is just as pretty in person as it looked in swatch pictures. The tiny metallic flakes are so shifty in the purple base. It reminded me of Royal Crush but with silver and blue shifts to it that kept me staring at my nails all day. This is His Gentile Ruler from Bee's Knees Lacquer.
In the vein of embracing the darkness and kinda owning it, I imagine Redeemed Durge x Spawn Astarion would have viciousness punctuated by tender loving care. Like, turning a Bounty job into a fun little hunt, giving into predator instinct and enjoying the thrill and adrenaline. Durge holding someone still while Astarion gets his fill, then gleefully ending it. They both just appreciate one another's prowess.
Then they're heading back to wherever they're staying, lingering touches and stolen kisses exchanged along the way, then they topple into bed before the sun can even peek over the horizon. Their limbs are locked, bodies pressed, secure and proud of the way they wield their combined strength. Just cuddles while basking in one another.
I rewatched the last two episodes of Fruits Basket (2019)'s first season because Lance's Pokemon Masters seiyuu (Morikawa Toshiyuki) voices a kind man who is the father to one of the protagonists called Kazuma Sohma.
If anyone wants a dose of hearing Lance being a dad in real life to Silver, this is the closest thing that you'll get! Morikawa Toshiyuki sounds as gentle as Lance when he voices Kazuma, too 🏃♀️💨
(I even have my suspicion that Morikawa Toshiyuki might be casted as Lance due to his role in Fruits Basket, considering Pokemas once casted a seiyuu who had voiced an anime character that's very similar to their Pokemas role *side-eyeing Hiroshi Kamiya in Natsume Yuujinchou and Morty* 🤭)
Sometimes I feel like I'm an immortal fish being gutted by a perseverant cook. He keeps digging up my insides, groaning as they regenerate, scalpel shaking in rage that I refuse to die. One day he will tire of my twitching, move on to better fish, and all this suffering will end.
ok ok ok using that she & him music video to fuel my arthur agenda!!! that opening scene where jgl is looking all fine &fancy in his suit with his slicked back hair...& then he's just munching the hell out of that sandwich/burger or whatever & wiping his face in all his unpolished & uncouth glory!!??? that's arthur!! yeah, he looks fancy as fuck but he's not!! mr 'talk with his mouth full, elbows on the table, foul mouthed' arthur!! the dichotomy of man* (*namely one named arthur). I love him
YES NONNIE, YOU GET IT! Arthur looks refined and beautiful af but he is uncouth, he is fifty shades of street-rat, he is a boor.
This scene!! Saito is eating very, very neatly, excellent posture and so does Cobb mostly, they both drink their wine gripping the stem, very prim and proper, right --- meanwhile Arthur is just fucking...splayed all over the table.
For comparison:
Not to mention this infamous salad scene you mention above -- elbows on the table, talking with his mouth full, the way he holds his fork !!!!
The subtle body language!!! The difference in posture !!! I think it's partly that Arthur just doesn't care to woo clients of elevated status ("We're here to work") and partly that he is just that way -- rougher around the edges. These are just a couple of examples and not to pick on dear Arthur but I love that for all intents and purposes he looks polished and then he just... has all these chips in his veneer. Maybe his 'vulgarity' is why Eames is so taken with him idk - I just think he's neat. And lovely. I think he worked really hard at refining himself, into being as educated as he could be with what little resources he had. Good for him!! I am here for the Arthur agenda!!!
thinking about when susan had her archery match with trumpkin, she didn't like it not because she had any doubts that she wouldn't win, but because she was so sweet &. felt bad about beating someone who had already been beaten.
ㅤyou're gentle, thoughtful in your kindness, and very careful when you're helping others. your warmth is obvious only to some— but to them, it is life-saving. you don't think of your warmth as much. really, it feels like the least you can do. but you are providing something that no one else can. there are people out there that will not be helped by reckless optimism. but you see love as a risk, and when you take it, you will heal others (and yourself) in ways you didn't see as possible. you do not believe that people are good. really, you don't believe that you are good. they can be. you have been. no one is better than you at offering warmth to people who are difficult to love. i am asking you to offer that same warmth to yourself. even when you think you don't deserve it. especially when you think you don't deserve it.
