#it feels more intimate this way.

[a-lil-perspective]

It’s inherently funny to me that Crosshair and Delana elope (random thought I know, I’ve talked about it briefly before but I have more thoughts. Sorry, it’s not Soft Sniper Sunday but I’m always thinking about these two).

There’s literally no epic fanfare or dramatic climax (lol), it’s merely suggested in passing.

Of course there’s deep-rooted feelings to back it up; he’s in love with her and she’s in love with him, there’s a mutual, unspoken desire to spend the remainder of life with each other, but Crosshair is the one to suggest it, one quiet morning over breakfast.

Yes, Crosshair is the one who initiates.

~

“Let’s elope.”

Delana hides her surprise behind the rim of her mug. She takes a measured sip and lets the morning caf bring some clarity to his sudden advance. Not unanticipated. Just sudden.

Delana gives Crosshair a measured look. He’s dead serious, his caf totally abandoned in favor of eyeing her intently as he awaits her response. No doubt his fragile ego banking heavily on her assent.

The corner of her lip twitches. “Are you proposing?”

“I’m saying. Let’s get married.”

“Today?”

Crosshair shrugs. “Why not.”

~

It’s as simple as that. XD

(When she agrees with a casual and heart-stopping “Okay.” he’s taking an immediate sip of his caf to hide his stupid happy grin.😍)

#evangelion #ritsuko akagi #misato katsuragi #nge #the Eva episode of all time #the juxtaposition of Misato and Ritsuko arguing about how the handle the angel in the previous scene to them together here #Like Misato calls Ritsuko out for never relying on anyone or asking for help in the last scene and in this scene Misato is helping Ritsuko #the implication being that Ritsuko does ask Misato to help her or Misato forced her way in and Ritsuko let her join her in MAGI #the ​close proximity in a cramped space that is essentially the soul/brain of your mother #the two of them working in tandem with Misato reminiscing on their college years years #ritsuko answering misatos questions and willingly devulging likely classified information is in sharp contrast to the coming episodes #the entire scene feels very intimate and is a great look at their relationship when they don’t have to have their walls up #neon genesis evangelion #this single Misato and Ritsuko moment is better and more showing of their relationship than the entirety of their interactions in the #rebuilds

from the introduction to "the sovereign sun" selected poems by odysseus elytis, trans. and introduction by kimon friar. [id in alt text]

#poetry. #kimon friar. #odysseus elytis. #ancient greek poetry. #rereading the sovereign sun as summer sweeps to a close and this stuck out so lovingly. #i remember finding this book tucked away in a small and unfrequented section of my library a handful of years ago. #it swept something in me / something ancient and full of light. #i had to find my own used copy as soon as i realized i couldn't keep it / mark it as my own. there is such love taken into it? #the translation of so much intimate glory and understanding of the universe / of life? the attempt of it. #it feels crafted so carefully. the importance something that could not be understated? i return to it every couple of years - #to reignite that spark. the language in it is just. spellbinding. it reminds me of a warm breeze at twilight / where the light is dim / #and everything feels possible in a way it was not before. #might post more of my favourites !!! just had to share this ending piece of the introduction 💕

[originalartblog]

your skk is so real and true to me. like its Them

this is such a great thing to hear I'm ✨🥺✨

I like to think I can mostly keep them in a permanent "status: ????". is it romantic? is it platonic? could it be both at the same time? perhaps queerplatonic would be a better term? I don't know you're the reader you tell me. The important part is that they got each other's back and can be stupid together and perhaps get their dose of cuddling while they're at it because they need it. Whether they kiss or not is so secondary to me but I NEED them to yearn for each other's company in big and small ways both.

#hence why i have no kissing on my blog except the ONE time i made dazai kiss chuuya's chin to distract him during video games #i like to make them intimate but i feel like physical and emotional vulnerability is more impactful (especially for them) #disclaimer: those are personal preferences and i do enjoy romantic skk a lot AND they can kiss all they want #i'm just also a big fan of how bsd basically has no romance (some crushes) and puts the emphasis on relationships of all kinds #which are all super important in their own ways whether the characters want to or not and not one kind comes before the other #aroace people raise your glass with me for a toast #ask answered #not art #bsd #skk #bungou stray dogs #soukoku

Thinking about Tim and Hawk's lack of mouth-to-mouth intimacy so far.

I need Tim with a boyfriend who:

hugs him

kisses him

holds his hand

and makes him squirm too, but in a fully consenting way

#but i know the era and what wasn't really permitted in public for safety 🥺 #but tim spent more time with hawk's foot in his mouth rather than hawk's tongue #and it's probably a choice because of hawk's own fear of being intimate in that kind of way #but did you see tim's little drunk face when they're kissing in that scene at the bar #aaaahhhhh and he asks for more #i need him to be loved #he needs to feel things 😫 #fellow travelers #ramble in the tags #ft spoilers #1x01 #hawk x tim #tim x hawk #tim laughlin #hawkins fuller #also hawk made out with tim's armpit but not his face #things that keep me up at night #gay ships #lgbtq+

rubbing circles into the tummy to help ease any nausea or pain is very good but there’s just something sooo Good about side to side tummy rubs,,

they just seem so tender and sweet and caring to me. affectionate and soft doting lil rubs just for the sake of rubbing their tummy, just for the sake of how cute their tum is. the caretaker not only providing belly rubs but indulging in it themselves, gently sliding their hand over their s/o’s stomach of their own accord and with no motive other than because it feels nice, warm, soft - everyone is getting something out of it <33

#rambles #does this make sense idk im so tired #i just thinkkkk #getting ur tummy rubbed this way feels so much more gentle and intimate #like if you ask for rubs bc of pain or whatever they always do circles right #but if they do it of their own accord or if you ask just to cuddle they always do it this way so it can’t just be me

having the hc that minato is ace is incredibly funny sometimes when you think about how ryoji is oh so very bi because it's like. "ah. death stole my ability to be attracted to people," in the same way that ryoji stole minato's eye color and energy level. like wow, thanks ryoji, you just keep finding things to steal from minato!

#persona 3 spoilers #minato arisato #hc and au nonsense #lizzy speaks #happy international asexuality day to my fellow aces out there i hope you know that you are loved!!! 🎊🎉🥳 #i like viewing minato with the lens of him being gay / ace. esp bc it stems from my own experiences so it's fun to look at- #him from that perspective even if that's not what was intended by atlus y'know? #and im sure others have other hcs from me that are informed by their own life experiences and i think that's great ^_^ #something that i found interesting while playing FES was how. stilted? minato's animations felt when hugging the girls #you could definitely go with the perspective that it's a graphical limitation or they didn't have time to polish the animations #and that's def true!! but sometimes i see the hug @ yakushima beach + the other hugs and then i compare it to the sou/yo hug in p4 #and there's like... a noticeable difference to me with how intimate and close together the hugs are... #that said i do know that the animations for reload are updated and the hugs are much more natural (good on them tbh!) #the other thing is (pensive sigh). the way you couldn't reject any of the girls when doing their social links in FES #objectively speaking i'm glad that they did away with that and i like how the rejections were handled in reload. it feels naturally written #but also a part of me enjoyed looking at the “hey atlus what the FUCK” moment and thought of how to interpret it differently #specifically with the idea of minato having like.. little to no autonomy and kind of going along with the relationship #it kind of reminded me of myself tbh with like going along with the rship without considering what you want bc #it's what others want or expect out of you... LOL. i dont think atlus intended for someone to interpret it this way but #eh i think that's the fun part of hcs and looking at characters with certain lenses! #regardless of how you perceive minato i do think there's something to be said about him being the kind of guy who molds himself- #into someone that is needed. not wanted. but needed. important distinction here. #the one caveat my brain runs into when im like “minato is ace!” is when i remember thanatos exists and i go #“you know what these ideas can exist simultaneously” GKLHFHDFHD when in doubt schrodinger's headcanons #anyway that's all i've had this thought in my brain in awhile and haven't sat down to share it properly until now 👍 #have an excellent weekend everyone !!! lizzy loves you all lets all nurture our inner yippee!!! 🥺💙

hi i'm that anon that asked about tighnari and fixing. since you said that he's someone with no fatal flaws, how open is he getting into a relationship?

[Character Analysis Ask Meme]

How open is Tighnari to a relationship?

To most members of the Forest Watchers, imagining their chief officer in a relationship is near impossible. It isn't that he'd be terrible in a relationship. No, actually, they think that he'd be an amazing partner. Though he can be strict, he's caring and reliable, observant and level-headed. Really, he's the complete package! It's just... Nobody has ever seen him show interest in anyone. And the few that showed interest in him and tried to flirt were swiftly shut down without mercy. Most agree that love seems to be the last thing on his mind.

What many are not aware of, however, is that as much as he isn't looking for a relationship, he isn't exactly not looking for a relationship either. Really, Tighnari isn't against falling in love. He sees its merits. He knows the comfort and satisfaction it brings. But it isn't something he exactly needs. Simply put, he's satisfied with what he has. He enjoys his life. He doesn't need more. Still, while he doesn't see the need to be in a relationship, should it come his way, he really wouldn't be all that against it if they're a good match. But there's no need to rush. It'll happen when the time comes.

That being said, should he become interested in someone, don't expect much fanfare or bombastic displays of affection. Don't expect him to play any games either. Though he will invite you on outings to learn more about you, when he is clear about his feelings, he will be clear with you as well. You will not be left second-guessing his intentions for long.

#genshin x reader #tighnari #tighnari x reader #hello anon how have you been? thank you for sending in this ask!! #i was talking with my friend and the way i think he'd go about it is like.... #first he'd start asking you to accompany him on forest patrols and lectures and things of the like #to learn more about you #and then after he is clear about his feelings him inviting you on something a bit more intimate? #maybe out to dinner or something of the like #and when you respond with a (maybe confused) yes him being like 'great. it's a date. i'll see you then uvu' #and then will walk away #and then you're left like 'yeah! it's a-- w-wait--' #and then if you ask him on the date if he truly meant what he said and if he's interested in you he'd raise a brow like #'isn't that what a date's supposed to mean?' #okay maybe not like that but something similar haha

the last day on saturday night takeaway series twenty

#snt #snt 2024 #2024 #on their socials #it feels like such a privilege that they've shared a bit of behind the scenes of the last day because these moments feel quite intimate #especially that little moment backstage at the end #not even considering that he said 'forever. together' which is so romantic #the way they simultaneously take a deep breath when he's resting his head on his shoulder #the way dec closes his eyes for a moment in that hug #the quiet 'well done' #😭😭😭 #it feels more intimate than a kiss #also worth noting that ant had his hand around dec's waist the entire time in that backstage moment #(hopefully i've now gotten this out of my system enough that i can now focus on other things again haha)

Why does everyone to feel the need to prove Their Girl is the canon ship in ffvii. I think the narrative is a lot richer if you acknowledge cloud has deep feelings for both Aerith and Tifa, just like they have for him and each other.

#like….why try to say ‘THIS IS WHAT THE DEVELOPERS DEFINITELY INTENDED #when there’s a lot of evidence for either—things that are not mutually exclusive. they all have feelings for each other. it’s unavoidable. #and on top of that #aerith having liked zack does not eliminate her ability to like cloud #the feelings are complicated sure but she does like cloud separately from zack #and likewise. tifa and cloud having feelings for each other does not necessarily mean They Have Sex Under The Highwind. #because. why would they. especially during the events of the game. #they love each other but it’s in an awkward way that doesn’t have to fully develop Right Now. #and also like. how would them having sex at that moment be any more of an intimate moment than tifa traversing clouds literal consciousness #ffvii #cloud strife #tifa Lockhart #final fantasy vii #i just think. maybe we can lay the argument to rest. it’s been #it’s been 27 years

sorry im still thinking about the toe thing, about how permanent it is, how purposeful it felt.

ed must have had hours to think about it, and he still decided on disabling his first mate, stopping him being able to do his job properly. no matter how impared his thinking, it wasn't a spur of the moment thing. ed has to have had a reason why he decided this was the course of action he would take over any other.

no matter what happens next, things will never ever be able to go back to the way they were before.

the crew can forgive ed for marooning them, and izzy will still be disabled

frenchie and jim can forgive ed for the kidnapping, for the inevitable trauma, and izzy will still be disabled

stede can buy a whole new ships worth of things, and izzy will still be disabled

izzy himself can forgive ed for what he did, recover from the psychological impact, but he will still be disabled

they can grow old, have adventures, retire, but nothing will bring back izzys toe
