Could I request hotchniss with prompt 37 pretty please? I feel like Aaron and Emily don’t say I love you as much as they would do actions to prove so, but when either of them are drunk it’s out the window. So touchy, so verbal and SO in love. :)

I’d be delighted! Thank you Anon! # 37: "Mmm, I looooove youuuuu~!" (Drunk) Under the cut!

Type: Fluffy

Warnings: Drunk people, but it’s very cute!

(You’ll have to forgive me I don’t write Emily that much but she is technically intoxicated so…)

Going out for drinks with the team was always fun, even for Aaron who typically liked spending his time alone or with his son. Or with Emily. Gatherings weren’t usually his thing, but he enjoyed them from time to time, nonetheless. It was always fun watching Prentiss drink a bit too much. Aaron tried to stay careful, since he had a boy at home.

“We’ll see you all on Monday,” Aaron chuckled as Emily kept a hold on him, laughing and giggling.

“Take good care of her!” JJ called, giggling herself as she was gently tugged away by her husband, Garcia shouting something similar as she was led away by Spencer and Derek, shouting something else about a cute puppy she’d seen earlier.

“C’mon, let’s get you home,” Aaron laughed, wrapping Emily’s arm around his own and leading her down the block to his car.

“Your home or mine?” She teased, giggling wildly at her own innuendo.

“Mine. I don’t trust you alone when you’re this gone.” Aaron responded anyway. “And Jack’ll like to see you again.”

“Awe, I lov-love Jack,” Emily hiccuped/cooed as they reached Aaron car. She lit up as she stumbled to it, accidentally dragging Aaron with her.

“Emily-” Aaron chuckled softly, letting her lean against the passenger door.

Emily beamed at him, pressing soft kisses to his face, primarily his nose and left cheek. “Mmm, and I looove youu~!" She whispered, wrapping her arms around his shoulder and pulling him closer. “Very much, I love you so-“ she kissed him “so-” and again "so much!” She giggled. Aaron smiled at her, more warm and inviting.

“I love you too, now c’mon,” Aaron chuckled, kissing her forehead lightly. “I can take care of you better at home.”

tumblr users will have the most inaccessible, unreadable, low contrast, flashing carrd you can possibly imagine, with a dni full of insider acronyms with no translation and numerous link buttons labelled with cryptic captions, and then go ahead and put “ableists dni and kys!” on that carrd

#yeah i’m bitter about carrds becoming so hostile to disabled people #nobody with vision issues or photosensitivity or processing issues or epilepsy or memory issues could possibly read your carrd #small changes like proper colour contrast between background and text can make a world of difference in making your page accessible #even just spelling out the acronyms in your dni or mentioning WHERE a mysterious link will actually lead is so helpful #i see so many links that are just random literary quotes that turn out to lead to a mandatory dni. how would anyone know that?? #txt #accessibility #1000

it's been a week and i still haven't recovered </3 so i did a little sketch with this scene between normal and scary because it fucked me up and i need more moments of them comforting and caring for each other

#dndads #dndads s2 #dungeons and daddies season 2 #dndads s2 spoilers #dndads spoilers #scary marlowe #normal oak swallows garcia #these two make me so fucking ill #i love their relationship and i missed them having moments so much and i was so heartbroken when normal comforted scary about terry jr #it sucks! when your best friend looses her dad and she has to face all this feelings she was trying to protect herself from #and you can't do anything to help hee besides being there and hugging her #if normal could he would take her pain away in a heartbeat #which is an idea i am thinking. about normal messing with the modify memory spell to protect scary from being sad #anyways they are my babies and i love them so much and they are the siblings ever <3

one of the funnier things that's happened to me while playing Baldur's Gate was that in Act 2 I still hadn't romanced anyone because I slept through the tiefling party, but I still wanted to romance a companion. And when I took a long rest I was disappointed to see that no one had anything to say to me, so I went to go talk to Withers. And upon starting the conversation the first thing he says to me is basically "why are you single".

Which, okay, damn old man. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed but also it's not like it was on PURPOSE. I wanted to romance Gale because he's charming, but no dice despite having 100 approval. I was not having much luck.

So after finishing up the conversation and having no one else I needed to speak to, I decide to go and take a long rest and finish up the day. Bam. Immediately upon long resting I get Wyll's romance cutscene where he asks us to dance.

Funniest chain of coincidences in this game so far. I like to imagine that Wyll overheard the conversation and, having been pining quietly, decided to shoot his shot. And it worked.

#baldurs gate 3 #wyll ravengard #bg3 wyll #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #its especially funny to me because i wasn't even using Wyll that much in my party #i didn't know how to utilize him properly and i preferred Gale because he could learn more spells #and thus had a wider range of abilities #and wyll didn't #i agreed to help save his father and listened to him and that's pr much it #im not complaining tho. wyll is utterly charming much like gale is #i just wasn't expecting it. #durge x wyll #wyll romance #withers: heyo why are you single #anakin: my companions dont seem to like me that much idk #wyll overhearing: i do! i like you! #wyll and durge is an underrated dynamic #folk hero and someone he likely would have been sent to kill #which you could argue is the same dynamic for karlach/wyll #but karlach has always been good. the durge was not #hero x monster dynamic

I think it's interesting that when Gandalf describes Denethor's ability to "perceive, if he bends his will thither, much of what is passing in the minds of men," he ties it less to his wisdom or general insightfulness (though he possesses both) than to his difference from "other men of this time," his near total Númenóreanness, and as bolded here, the active exercise of his will.

Tolkien also attributes Denethor's resilience against Sauron (by contrast with Saruman) to not only his right to use the Anor-stone, but "great strength of will." He notes that Sauron had no servant with greater mental powers than Saruman or Denethor, and Gandalf remarks that Denethor was "too great" to be subdued to Sauron's will.

Denethor and Gandalf have a strange and unsettling silent confrontation, carried on by their gazes, yet it strikes Pippin as like "a line of smouldering fire" and "as if reading each other's mind." Gandalf afterwards says Pippin was stuck between two "terrible old men," lumping Denethor in with himself. Pippin also sees some kind of kinship between Denethor and Gandalf, as Sam saw between Faramir and Gandalf.

In his letters, Tolkien said that the ancient Númenóreans became barely distinguishable from Elves in appearance and in their powers of mind. In Unfinished Tales, he notes that they loved their horses, and when a Númenórean had a strong bond with a horse, it was said that the horse could be summoned "by thought alone."

In LOTR, Faramir—who has inherited Denethor's Númenóreanness/wizardliness—has a reputation for command over both animals and men. When everyone else is thrown by their horses upon being chased by five Nazgûl, he not only keeps his seat, but mysteriously gets his horse to ride back towards the Nazgûl. And during the retreat across the Pelennor, the soldiers in the city conclude that Faramir must be with the men who are managing to retreat in order, repeating Beregond's remark that he has some undefined command over both men and beasts.

Gandalf suggests that this is a result of Faramir pitting himself against the effects of the Nazgûl in some way, but his abilities (whatever they are) are outmatched. In the event, the effect of Faramir's Aura of Courage commanding abilities remains until he's shot and finally falls to the Black Breath.

Faramir also makes repeated references to perceiving or reading things in Gollum's mind. At one point, he describes Gollum's mind as dark and closed, yet unable to prevent Faramir from detecting that he's holding something back about Cirith Ungol specifically. Noticeably, this only happens when Faramir orders Gollum to look at him (which Gollum does "unwillingly"), and the light drains from his eyes as he meets Faramir's. It seems decidedly reminiscent of the later Gandalf vs Denethor duel-by-eye-contact.

Faramir's exact words about Gollum's secrecy are "That much I perceived clearly in his mind," in reference to his earlier questioning of him. He says that he can "read" previous murders in Gollum and Gollum cries out in pain when he tries to lie to him.

When Faramir gives staves to Frodo and Sam, he says that a "virtue" of finding and returning has been placed on them, with zero explanation of what he means by that. He adds a hope that the virtue will not altogether fail under Sauron's power in Mordor. He describes the people who did the woodwork but not who placed the virtues (it doesn't seem inherent to the wood itself, given his phrasing).

We do know that Dúnedain can potentially embed enchantments into items. The Barrow-daggers carried by Merry and Pippin are specifically enchanted against the Witch-king of Angmar by an unknown Dúnadan of the North, and when Merry stabs the Witch-king, the dagger breaks enough spells for Éowyn's ordinary sword to finish the job.

Meanwhile, Aragorn uses his healing powers to help the city, wishing for the presence of Elrond, because he is their eldest of their kind and more powerful. Aragorn, also, has at least some part of this ability to actively exercise his will and mental powers, perhaps an equal share, though he uses it less often.

In the book, he doesn't physically attack the Mouth of Sauron, but instead holds his gaze (again, eye contact is important!). There's another silent struggle that involves no weaponry or any other contact.

He prevails in some way over the Mouth of Sauron (not a warped creature of Sauron in the book, but a cruel Númenórean who has "learned great sorcery"). The Mouth indignantly says he has diplomatic immunity and can't be attacked like this.

But, I mean, maybe they're all just smart and perceptive, it's really unclear.

#eldritch dúnedain WHEN #because i am very aware that this could be deeply unsettling if presented just a bit differently! #but it is wild to me that tolkien can outright say 'this guy is a númenórean who learned sorcery' #and people are still like 'but can númenóreans use magic. i guess we'll never know.' #or have faramir give his whole speech about what gollum's mind looks like to him and what he can see clearly in it #fandom: idk it's just really unclear #gandalf: denethor can see what happens in other people's minds if he exercises his will #fandom: a great mystery ... maybe he's just very wise and insightful??? #tolkien: the dúnadan who enchanted the daggers would be happy to know his spells worked and helped defeat the witch-king #fandom: númenórean craftmanship is /skilled/ of course but how can we make this about elves #honestly it seems like people don't /want/ númenóreans to have supernatural abilities and i'm not sure why #humans who have elvish-style powers and appearance yet can never escape their humanity is SUCH a concept #(yes i will harp on this until the end of time) #anghraine babbles #legendarium fanwank #legendarium blogging #long post #húrinionath

Question about Frank! What is his fighting style? I know you mentioned he does hand on hand, but does he do any specific form of martial arts?? Or is it just kind of the basic, punching, kicking, ect. Also, does he have some form of magic, or is he basically like Howdy? (I'm just imagining they all play like.. actual table top DnD and Frank is getting irritated because his rolls are garbage-)

i'm not nearly well versed enough in martial arts to name styles or blend them - though i feel a "i need to know everything i can about this" fixation creeping up... so i might be able to provide a better answer later!

but for now lets just say he's adapted his own stylized form, blended from his childhood training, what he learns on the streets, and what he picks up on his travels / figures out himself. i imagine it would be an efficient, ruthless, and elegant personal style of combat

Frank has no magic! if he rolled for it he'd somehow get a 0! he and Howdy are the only magicless maidens of the group

#& man. i really want to make it a dnd au #but i simply dont know enough about dnd to be able to Accurately do that! #and also: i dont like restrictions and rules #but it's so funny to imagine the neighborhood gathered in front of home with sally dm-ing #or home is the dm. how would that work #wally helps i suppose... resets the dice so home can roll it with their front door #but unfortunately my knowledge and understanding is Limited #it would be in the style of the dnd movie - where its seamless & theyre not actually rolling or anything #but i dont know the spells! i dont know the lore! the monsters! #ok unless i do Another sit-down-and-crunch-learn-everything-dnd #....thats doable. if i just learn the creatures the monsters the lore #then homebrew the world and fuck with stuff to make it have wh vibes.... #it could be Loosely dnd. loosely tabletop. #then i could tag it with 'wh tabletop au' instead of fantasy au to differentiate it... #no no that still doesnt work. cause if it has secondary lore of 'its literally the neighborhood playing their own version of dnd' #i cant see any of the wally-centered drama happening. theyd all be like 'aw its ok that youre a warlock wally <3' & move on #but i still want to name it something Different! just to keep it separated! rpg? no... its still not a game... and its not dnd enough... #questing au?

Today may be Star Wars Day, but to me, it was a D&D day 😂 I DMed my first session for some friends, and it was a BLAST!! I was so nervous at the beginning, but once we got into the groove, I had a great time. Looking forward to the next time we play 💕

#the ramblings of a dragon #personal #i was sweating so much and even shaking a little #my cousin was a lifesaver and helped with the rules and technical stuff #the party was a little squishy during combat--3 of the 4 got their HP knocked down crazy low #(one to 3 hp and two to 2 hp) #and if my cousin hadn't been a bard with a certain spell two party members would have been making death saving throws #it was fantastic #I'm sad I can't text my first DM about it #he would have loved to play and been so excited I'd DMed #i wish i could talk to him about it #d&d shenanigans

I kind of love that Rain doesn't remotely struggle to get away while Payu is spanking him, and afterwards, despite complaining, he doesn't use disrespectful language. He still calls Payu "P'Payu", and uses "Pom" instead of "Goo" for "I/me". In fact, so far after their linguistic domination scene, Rain has stuck to respectful pronouns, no matter how indignant he acts. Payu has been trying to be Rain's Dom, and Rain is slowly letting him be.

I admit I'm wildly curious where it'll go from here.

I've had anxiety pretty much all my life and having my fears/concerns brushed off is not a new thing for me and sometimes it's justified, but it is uniquely annoying in this case because I keep being right, repeatedly, throughout the pandemic, and people are still acting like I'm just being my panicky self and it's not as big a deal as I'm making it.

#for months my mom kept getting on my case about masking in the common areas of her complex #'everyone here is elderly they don't go out! why are you still wearing a mask here?' #and then suddenly what do you know two of her neighbors have covid and I was right #everyone: why are you still isolating and masking so much the pandemic is over! #me: it is not fucking over and it's gonna get worse again because of this #a couple months later: oh god there's a new variant that resists vaccines we couldn't possibly have predicted or prevented this #ironically I got covid somewhere highly improbable back in 2022 and it promptly made my anxiety like 5x worse so now I'm even more annoying #I also just kinda. got worse at spelling and keeping track of information #it's deeply frustrating but at least I never lost taste/smell and meds have helped with the anxiety so eh #still this could have been avoided if people would just take the goddamn thing seriously #and I'm gonna be salty about it for the rest of my life

A very interesting cloud formation!

#I don't think I had ever really seen clouds like this before? it looks like a cool painting or something :0 #Pulling just a few images from my cloud and sky photos folder which has like 650 pictures in it becvause I'm obsessed with the sky lol #I will usually spare everyone the cloudposting but... in some exceptions when it's really cool I must Share #(upcoming covid mention in tags for those avoiding the topic) #I WANT TO BE ON AN AIRPLANE SO SO BAD I am going to start casting evil spells to explode all these 'back to normal' bastards who are out #spreading virus and shit HHHHHH... Covid is NOT over actually contrary to popular beielf especially for people with health conditions #that make them more vulnerable or would have worse consequences if they were to catch it etc. etc. wearing a mask in public is #in MOSt cases not THAt much of a horrific terrible evil inconvenience and it helps keep everyone around you safer including these #vulnerable populations!!!! Even if I didn't have any problems myself I would STILL be masking because it's a small gesture that can make a #big difference in people around me being comfortable. It's not like people with health issues just never have to go out or go to the stor #or whatever. There are still people out there who could be helped by extra precautions that are being overlooked. grrrrr... #Like at this point since I'm vaccinated and everything I would MAYBE consider flying on an airplane IF everyone else around me #was masking and being just as careful as me. But at this point it's just the wild west and I would literally be the only one who gives #a shit or who gets tested freqeuntly before after and during traveling and wears the proper type of mask well fitting and not half off my f #ce and blah blah blah. And precautions work best when EVEYRONE is participating. There's only so much you can protext yourself if everyone #around you is doing nothing. So.. alas.. I still do not feel safe traveling. And probably won't for years until more progress is made in #terms of like understanding and treating certain long covid issues and etc. Since I think it's inevitable that if I start going out again #I would get covid. Me and my household bubble are some of the only people I know who haven't had it yet (or at least not knowingly so - if #so it was one of the asymptomatic cases etc.). So if I was GOING to get it anyway I'd at least like the assurance that whatever long term #issues I inevtabley suffer because of it will be more easily treatable at that point instead of entirely disabling even further than I'm #already disabled. etc. AAANYWAY!! all that to say. I JSUT REALLY WANT TO be on an airplane!!! I dont even like traveling and going places I #hate vacations and would rather be at home working on my projects I'm fixated on lol HOWEVER I love the view from airplane windows #like the very few times in my life Ive actually been on a plane and the window is so COLD when you lay your forehead on it and sometimes yo #even see little ice crystals and it's like you're just in a landscape of clouds with a sea of clouds above and below and aaaAAAAAA #Literally I want to get on a plane just to go up in the air and then land and fly back. I don't even want to go on a real trip. I just NEED #to see the sky I need to be IN the sky I need to have that VIEW and the cold and everything!!!! gRGGHGgg... And I will do that the entire #time. I think my longest plane ride was 7 hours and I do not watch movies. I dont text or play games. I literally do nothing to entertain #myself except stare straight out the window for 7 hours (with a few eating and bathroom breaks). not even joking lmao. It's like a trance #I LOVE the sky and clouds so much and the view you get from an airplane is like incomparable!! also I love airports with the big windows an #people watching. but mostly I just long for the sky view again. GRRR.. sobbing and yearning >:T

fascinated to see that this dico calls no especial attention to the fact that you're not supposed to make elision with the words onze or onzième (i.e., you say le onzième rather than l'onzième). i was curious to see if they would take the same route as my english-french dico, which puts an asterisk before the pronunciation like it does with words that begin with an aspirated h, but the only thing this one does is include the example sentence Il est le onzième.

#it includes example sentences all the time and it's not always immediately apparent to me what any given example sentence #is doing. in this case because i was already looking for it (and because i read the sentence aloud) i saw the 'le' (instead of l') #but i'm not positive i would have noticed otherwise #in fact this is maybe less clear than just including the example phrase 'le onzième' would be (instead of the whole sentence) #because it's an abridged dictionary so much of the context comes from how much information is included #like for example the pronunciation notes. to save space this dico only tells you the pronunciation of words that are exceptions #and even then only tells you the pronunciation for the part of the word that is pronounced differently than one would expect #rather than for the whole word #this is very helpful to me because a) when i see a pronunciation next to a word i always notice it because it's rare #and b) it tells me exactly in what way the word is pronounced weirdly #(which also often allows me to infer how that spelling would be pronounced if it weren't an exception) #lecture du dico #lexicography #french #my posts #so anyway including the whole sentence 'il est le onzième' is a bit misleading because you think oh it's just an example sentence #which could be in there for who knows what reason. the fewer units of information you have (words in this instance) #the less you have to guess at what they're meant to convey to you. because you can focus right in on the relevant part #(which in this case is the le instead of l') with fewer red herrings #when i first saw this example sentence i thought it was just showing how the adjective onzième can be used as a noun #which is a not-infrequent purpose of example sentences in this dico #but because i was scrutinizing the entry for clues as to the lack of elision i noticed it #it's fascinating because i didn't realize this about onze until a couple years ago #and when i asked my french teacher (who is french) about it she had no clue what i was talking about #even though she personally never made elision with these words either #she didn't realize it was an exception or anything that would have to be told to L2 learners. it was completely natural to her #trying to remember now if she had the same reaction with huit cuz i knew i brought that up too #cuz to me they're functionally the same...you don't make elision or liaison with either of them #but everybody talks about aspirated hs and i don't even know if there's a word for what's going on with onze #or any other words in that same category of start-with-vowel-but-no-elision-or-liaison (there must be? but i can't think of any)
