#stone cold touch

[lifblogs]

Wow, the angst and whump in that book. I can’t explain it all without doing a copy paste of the whole thing, but the ending involved accidental soul-sucking, betrayal, near-death, angst, poisoning, imprisonment, chains and a collar, a failed interrogation which was interrupted by a stabbing, a second near death, and some completely unexpected possession.

The amount of times the main character in the “The Dark Elements” series is called shortie is making my teeth grind.

Matthew and Lucienne, crying softly while reading a book in the library: 

Dream, baffled: What is of the matter?

Matthew, sniffing despite being a raven: this poor, sad mate. he’s trying so hard, but he just. 

Lucienne: and he never gives up, the letters. 

Dream, bemused, gracefully taking away the thick brown book with the golden title: What is this you are speaking of.

Dream, looking at the book name “Nameless Love, Hob Gadling”: —Fuck.

#this is clear shitposting and is not meant to be ic #dream never curses until he finds a fucking whole ass book of unset letters his servants are wheeping his eyes out over #they do not know it's about dream #they think the guy is like the saddest bruh ever falling for such a stone cold bitch #dream has a minor meltdown over thE THIN G as he KNOWS it's ABOUT HIM #he is THE PRINCE OF STORIES he does not need foreshadowing to see beyond the words as he reads a creation in the dreaming #he understands all books in his library in an intimate way upon touch #dreamling #dream of the endless #the sandman #idek #buns.hc #buns.all

Im having feelings over my stupid vampire oc

#talkys #my clone who is nothing like me but also everything like me #the wounded aching heart on a leash outside my body #the unwillingness to get attached because once you are attached its over and boy is it over #thinking about how we wouldn't ever get anything done because once talon is attached its nonstop Long Goodbye #the ache over you being gone one day. and well. how could I not also cry about death. he IS my death phobia made vampire #you catch the previously constantly stone faced guy have fits of anguish and clinginess #repeating words and actions so he wont ever forget #howww could you leave his arms when he needs to remember how you feel in them #and that you like my face in your neck but not being bit there #and you like that my body is cold when yours is a furnace. you cant stand having your shoulders grabbed #you hate when wet hair touches your neck and i know where all the moles on your body are #and i know that you like me. and you like me. and you like me #(and the next day he's fighting the urge to cut you and himself up to ribbons for letting/making him feel this way) #(and how getting closer only makes goodbye harder) #(and god - time goes by so fast doesnt it. it goes by so fast.) #(itll hurt then and it hurts now. all it does is hurt) #oc text

I forgot to post her!! I made this redesign ref for one of my old old ocs who was a statue and guardian (of what? who knows). I made this for artfight and I'm so pleased with her C:

#my art #original ocs #ocs #artists on tumblr #digital art #character design #her name was Rona! maybe it still is.. spelled different maybe? #she's a living statue! #she looks soft and fluid but feels like stone #she can move fluidly and her fabric can shift but to anyone who touches her she will always feel cold and rock-like

one of my favorite little pieces of headcanon I have been rotating around in my mind is that in the graveyard scene in Astarion's romance, there is such a realistic chance for being caught.

i mean, it's in the middle of the Lower City. it's literally in a hotbed of activity (criminal and otherwise), at a place that's frequented by mourners, and zombies, and elements even less savory than that. the security, even if it does relax, probably doesn't stop at night, or at least not for as long as it should.

in my hc, the Mortarch who is patrolling the grounds during the day lives in one of the buildings overlooking the graveyard, and i'm thinking about a possibility where she just... happens to glance out the window on her way back from the bathroom, and catch a not entirely unusual glimpse of a macabre couple. (This is Baldur's Gate. There are most definitely people who are morbid enough to want to make love on top of a grave without any specific inspiration for it, and to be fair, it'd be more concerning if someone's first thought at seeing that was "hm, well hold on now, one of them could be the deceased, and this moment could be a beautifully cathartic metaphor for rebirth".)

in this version, a shout startles them apart, and they have roughly a minute to disentangle themselves from each other and flee before the Mortach would make it down the stairs.

yanking clothes on to make themselves actually presentable isn't really feasible, of course: Astarion can manage to pull his pants up to the point where they're kind of on, if undone still (they were around his knees, the upward motion wasn't the difficult part, it was stuffing himself back in there that proves a futile task), and Iona manages to make a split-second decision and opt for throwing on his shirt (which is at least long enough to pass for a dress on her, if a deeply indecent one, especially with nothing else on), and it's with truly uncontrollable, free laughter bubbling from them (and the rest of whatever clothing they -mainly she- had on clutched in their fists) that they half-run, half-drag each other out the gate.

the city is fairly quiet, of course. it's gone past being late and well into the small hours of the morning, the pink dawn is just about to start licking at the tiled roofs, and even a city as bustling as Baldur's Gate is largely empty, as if asleep.

they run and stumble through the streets chased by the echo of their own giddy laughter bouncing off the walls. they dodge the patrolling guards and Steel Watchers by ducking into side-streets and doorways, pushing and dragging each other up against the wall for playful kisses- a ruffle of his hair, a squeeze of her ass, a thigh drawn up to his waist with a grip just this side of rough, a scratch down his chest and a nibble on an earlobe, they just can't keep their hands off one another for long enough to make it back home.

she bloody well squeals as his hand finds its way under "her" clothes as she runs up the stairs to their rooms (to be fair, her ass was at eye-level, what's a man to do?), and picking that lock should be the easiest thing in the world (the key? who knows. probably fallen out of her pocket and into a sewer somewhere. absolutely not important.), but not with the dirty, airy whispers in his ear and the hot, insistent kisses being mouthed onto his jaw, his neck, his shoulder...

the communal room may have been a mistake in retrospect, but the roof... may offer some privacy. probably. it's more than nothing, at least.

besides, there is scarcely a better way to greet the first golden morning of a free life than... bathed in its light, warm and content, while overlooking a city full of such endless possibilities.

#the stone may be hard and cold but... there are those ugly; stiff pillows #and the warm body of his lover snuggled against his side AND the glow in his chest probably also help #(it goes past post-orgasmic bliss. it's so much more than that; this lick of warmth blooming behind his breastbone) #and looking down; she's probably never been quite as beautiful as she is with flecks of grave-dirt caught in her hair #and her eyes glittering with mirth and love as she looks up at him; wide and honest adoring grin a twin to his own #it's yet again a shout that startles them up- only this time it's Karlach #worried because she woke up to realize that the two of them just fucking DISAPPEARED without saying anything!?!?!?!? #but who WOULD say “sleep well everyone; we're off to fuck in the cemetery; might end up finishing up and watching the sunrise on the roof” #“yeah it'll be thematically appropriate and deeply beautiful; if a touch unreasonable for us to expect enough time and privacy to finish” #“yeah the sex WAS amazing thanks for asking” #squirrel plays bg3 #oc: iona raedir #well. kind of a #squirrel writes

#kingdom #kingdom ascension #requested #dann #i am a little confused with this mv tbh #cause so far -as i've understood it - each member has a real king as sort of inspiration #and so far the mvs have been inspired by the culture from where the kings came from #and since this appears to be Dann's mv #should it not be somewhat based on the Danish monarchy? #like we had arthur with the obvious sword in the stone medieval theme #and chiwoo's i assume was chinese inspired? #ivan's was definitely somewhere cold like the russia and the overall aesthetic could definitely fit with that #now i'm from denmark so i had looked forward to a nordic themes mv tbh #also i just noticed the next video is like a part two to this one? #why does dann get two mvs?? #im confused #googling this only brings up a lot of religious stuff that i'm not gonna touch

Me: Ha-ha I'll have Karlach's statue made just for giggles 'cause I love her and so does Vice

Me: *is now haunted by the concept of only having this damn statue left in a theoretical AU where Vice doesn't insist on Avernus*

#when your lover is gone but you've immortalized her features in stone #and it's her face but it's cold and lifeless to touch #i never even HAD this AU 'cause nope but #now apparently I have SOLELY thanks to these thoughts #tav posting

art so good it forces me to write angst with the song it reminds me of

#that hua cheng art + canon zhongli lore + yearning + foreign field’s ‘when you wake up’ is the best right now #know damn well i’m gonna cry imagining some shit let alone writing about zhongli sculpting his own soulmate and pressing his forehead #against the stone body. he’ll trace the edges of your eyes. your cheeks. your jaw. your bottom lip. #he’ll imagine your warmth. your voice that so often haunts him. the peace that blends with the melancholy of his loneliness. #are you a mortal that he lost the chance to ever love the way you deserved? were you a god that had fallen in the war? #were you yet to meet? would fate be kind enough to grant him a moment with you? #to have you only in dreams is torture. to only touch stone is laughable for the god of the land. he craved warmth of another— he yearned. #he’s not content with kissing cold lips. caressing skin that could never be warm with blood and life. but it was all he had.
