Greg here getting his own back with some uncomfortably extended laughter of his own (and Rose’s lack of expression sure is something).

Okay. RANDOM THOUGHTS TIME.

1) So all the bubbly laughter and teasing really was just ‘playing along’ with Greg. She wasn’t engaging with him on a personal level, because her head was stuck on how on earth she was supposed to relate to a human. And her answer was to get horny on main 24/7, which is a fair assessment of the human race tbh.

2) I guess Garnet’s advice to get real and honest was equally about wanting Rose to open up more? Obviously Pearl thinks she and Rose are permanently giggling at a sleepover and swearing to tell each other everything, and she will one day be devastated to learn Rose had a cat-

2a) While we’re on that thought, I don’t think Pearl is sharing much of herself with Rose. Pearl is definitely not hiding her authentic, emotional self from anyone, but she’s also not naturally forthcoming either. Like this episode opens with her choosing to channel her turmoil into putting on a performance for the guy she hates instead of talking to the gal she loves. So does Pearl feel angry because she feels Rose is the one person she can be real and open with, only to discover Rose didn’t actually feel the same? Or is it more of a case that Pearl doesn’t think she needs to offer her authentic herself to anyone? Like she clearly isn’t going to Rose and sharing how she really feels about Rose dating humans, so Pearl feels somewhat hypocritical on this front.

More 2) So obviously Pearl thinks she’s super bff’s 5ever with Rose. Garnet and Amethyst seem aware that Rose holds the burden of leadership which makes her stand apart from the team, even though it’s just the four of them left in the entire world so no one really needs to do that any more. We see this attitude with Garnet in the current day as well.

4) But also this concern about playing along with humans is very definitely a ROSE thing. Pearl would never awkwardly stutter about how she isn’t a person because she only cares about being a gem. Garnet is super into being her real authentic self, wouldn’t change that to make someone like her. We know that during the war Rose stuffed her real feelings down in order to act as a leader (I guess dating Some Guy causes her just about as much stress as fronting a war effort).

I think it’s not that Rose isn’t a flirty, pure banter sexpot, or she isn’t a powerful-yet-loving general. It’s that Rose is super aware that she’s a lot of things to a lot of people, and is deliberately choosing which parts she emphasises as a response to what she thinks people want from her. Her real self seems to be getting a little lost in the process.

eion/ross anon again hello!! i've gone so long without thinking of them but i just went back to the oracle podcast to listen the other day and saw the bonus episode and SCREAMS

u know how movies like saltburn and stoker and the power of the dog or the talented mr ripley are about vampires without ever showing a single vampire? i feel like that's what ross is, ya know? he's a loser vampire who was turned to this life by eion, and now he's floundering and tired and a mess, bc he's in denial about being drained dry... maybe if he manages to find someone and drain them dry, he'll win, like you said. except he can't!! (but also kudos to jlh and alessandra, both of them killing it in acting while this loser just. very much sucks. heh. like a vampire.) bc eion took it outta him. there's nothing there anymore.

alexa! play vampire by olivia rodrigo! and maybe also get him back.

don't talk to me about vampires (literal or figurative)

you know what's very interesting about the analogy of the vampire as it relates to ross/eion is that we as a culture kind of accept that vampires as a concept or as a literal creature have at least Some sort of Knowingness about themselves. like even if they entertain the deeper questions of what it Means to be a vampire (like louis in IWTV) or they just Accept their status without tons of introspection (WWDITS) there's an implicit assumption that the vampire Knows that he's a vampire. because what else are you supposed to conclude if you're draining people dry left and right?

what's upsetting is that i truly believe eion is a vampire that doesn't know he's a vampire, and that very likely the damage he causes is all Normal to him. which probably speaks to a larger trauma (call me!! lol), but i believe that eion has probably had these vampiric relationships with people a lot and just never internalized the fact that he himself was the one that drained situations and changed dynamics and that other people don't all the time enjoy being victims to that kind of energy. so if eion has no concept that what he does is What It Is then he created a dynamic with ross wherein tons of harm is being caused and none of it can be named or understood because if that happens 1) the relationship would have to end because eion would never change 2) ross would have to forego his wants/needs 5ever because he Chooses to engage with someone who he knows will never change.

so ross is turned whether he likes it or not by a vampire who doesn't know he's a vampire, so ross probably can't self-identify himself as one either. and in those examples you mentioned i think it bears mentioning that almost All of those characters have the vampiric knowingness i mentioned as it pertains to their own nature and their own goals, which i don't think ross ever could. i think he's been a vampire to people himself, but again he doesn't see that he's doing it because to him that's Love. the vampires primary relationship to love also being a relationship to consumption and to death also bear mentioning lol

this vampire comparison has actually made me crazy lol so thx u 1000x for that

#i LOVE vampires #i just think they're neat!#love life and death and pain and consumption and destiny and despair and the futility of the world around you changing and knowing you can'#like...whats not to love there lol #rip to ross he truly was born to darkness and then just left to rot #ross/eion

beat you to it once again... oopsie! early, even! JUNE: what did you read, what did you think? what's next in your summer reading, cas? i want to know it all

not only was I not first but I'm also days late to this too, a girl can't win! </3

I read 5 which is kinda silly & perhaps proves the theory of me reading more when I travel - something about a full schedule that just makes me go Ahhhh yes perfect time to read ! I made a lil visual of the 5 bc for some reason my goodreads isn't showing the dennis cooper covers + I really loved the cover art

Closer by Dennis Cooper

my first Cooper, I feel initiated!! read this in one sitting on a flight, I couldn't possibly put it down - truly the book form of a car crash you can't look away from, a Camus/Bresson/Araki vibe with Disaffected / Cynical Youths In Situations™ feel. one of those books where it's not so much about the prose or character developments but moreso the emotional journey/damage (lol) the events put you thru?? I read it on my kindle and was still paranoid someone would catch a glimpse of my screen during the particularly depraved scenes, it's such a rush to read sick twisted books like this in public <3

Frisk by Dennis Cooper

read this on a beach day with friends and it trulyyy hit the spot, like will 4real recommend this as a beach read if anyone asks LOL with Closer still fresh on my mind I was less shocked by the depravity, less taken back with the extent of how graphic things got, and was able to focus more on the characters and storyline itself. realllyyyy really loved it, the theme of obsession and unraveling it to its foundational moments came across so cohesively + the unreliable narrator was written so convincingly. I read in a review that while Cooper was writing sex scenes, if anything turned him on, he would rewrite it LOL I love that so much - COMMIT TO THE SICK BIT, TRULY! a testament to writing sick things not equaling glorifying/romanticizing said sick things (which should go without say but yknow). also Loved the movie adaptation of this - it's been on my radar 5ever and I'm so glad I read it first bc the gritty artistic direction(s) felt that much more justified to me

The Carnivorous Lamb by Agustín Gómez-Arcos

3 fictions in a row omg are you proud?? this was soooooo beyond what I expected, so gripping. it reminded me a little bit of Call Me By Your Name at times (ironically not even just bc of the taboo relationships) with its hazy idyllic summerlike prose and ambience, but this one's definitely way meatier with its themes and intent. incest/queerness/family dysfunction as metaphor/consequence/response to a dictatorship, the aftermath of war, the disintegration of a country as you once know it. so punchy and direct but also delicate and wide-eyed at times, I really really enjoyed it more than I expected to. was very surprised to find out that it seems to be a hit with Supernatural fans (particularly the subsection that ships the 2 brothers together), stripping context from the flowerier lines for the purpose of singling out the incest....like ummm!! that's certainly One way to interpret a book so tangled with Franco's dictatorship but ok go off?!!

Pornotopia by Paul Preciado

ooooooo so much fun. the playboy mansion as disneyland for grown men, as a surveillance state, as dante's 9 levels of hell, as women's prison. The Girls Next Door was my first introduction to Playboy and I used to be so fascinated with the idea of people living this way, like you're telling me these hot young women are CHOOSING to live with this frail hag in a robe??? so it was cool to unravel the mystique of the mansion/company/Institution of Playboy to its bare, ideological + architectural bones. to follow, I read this profile piece on Hefner's eldest son's experience growing up in/around the mansion - what a trip!

How Do I Look? Queer Film and Video by Bad Object-Choices

I'm almost positive I read one of the essays (Looking For My Penis by Richard Fung) in college already bc I had a sense of deja vu the whole time, but generally this felt really familiar! conversations/discussions I've had in school, movies I've watched and the analyses that followed. this collection is essentially a bunch of transcribed presentations/talks at a conference followed by a discussion with fellow queer/film theorists/academics, so there was so much dimension to every topic which I appreciated! rly loved that they didn't hold back in the discussions, kind of scandalizing to see some theorists poke holes at the presenter's talk + you can Feel the tension that was in the room without even being there. I think I'd pee my pants in that position

I turn 25 in August and had idealized getting all my #EssentialAdult reading in the time leading up to the (alleged) Final Forming Of Thy Brain, finally dip my toes in some Joan Didion or some city woman grown-up wisdom, all that jazz. I'm kinda on a fiction kick though?? I've already finished 2 books this month (1 fiction, 1 memoir) I'll talk about later + am like halfway thru the 3rd George Miles Cycle book by Cooper (Closer + Frisk are part of a 5-book series, though mostly unrelated as far as characters go). I've got another fiction I have planned, but otherwise I do think I'm in desperate need of a woman's literary touch LOL so perhaps I will get on the Road-to-25 plan after all

sorry im gonna send you another ask cos im Obsessed with you. now do star trek. um specially ds9 but also tng pls and thank you also i love you . And you can answer for tos too if you want 😋

KICKS MY LITTLE FEETS IN THE AIR FOREVERRRRR 🤭🤭🙈🙈🙈 YAAYAYY MUTUAL OBSESSIONNNN ❣️❣️❣️❣️ILYYYY

Favorite character: tos is spock tng is data ds9 is quark HEEHEEEE 🤭🤭🤭

Second favorite character: tos is jim tng is UHM. IMPOSSIBLE TO CHOOSE. BUT MY SWEET ANGEL WESLEY 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 OR MY SILLY ANGEL WORF 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 and ds9 i loveeee jadzia… 💙💙💙

Least favorite character: tos i dont dislike anyone on the crew so probably mudd bc even tho i really love his eps hes a good villain hes also a misogynist </3 tng is pulaski like SORRYYY to all the thinkpiece bitches out there saying its not feminist to hate her bc shes basically the same as bones its like. 1. okay so shes kind of badly written bc they just tried to rip off bones and 2. her thing with data isnt the same as his with spock bc spock was bitchy right back but data just didnt get it. so she was just being straight up cruel to him all the time and nobody defended him. YEAH SHE GOT ME HEATED. and ds9 i got distracted by so many other tv shows shes been on hiatus for a bit but kai winn booooo we hate your ass 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

The character I’m most like: now. Uhm. literally fighting one million years with myself to determine kirk or spock and i never fully decided so we will leave it at they are two sides of the same coin and that coin is MEEEE ^_^. tng is hard to say bc i love them all but none of them ever grabbed me by the throat and shoved me into a mirror like so many other shows have done. i think either data geordi or picard (minus his leadership skills) would be the closest fit for me. and well as those who were here for biquark url know. 😏🤭

Favorite pairing: tos is obviously spirk 5ever and always like it changed the world. they are the fucking blueprint for everything they invented gay people. tng literally everything is so fun i think everyone has huge chemistry such interesting dynamics with each other. deanna and riker invented t4t bi4bi love but then geordi and data invented my lovely robot wife but then rikorf invented silly boy and autistic boy love and then qcard invented me and my wet crumpled paper bag weirdo boyfriend. HOW COULD I DECIDE… 💔💔 and ds9 quodo is everythang… i love you sillies ❤️

Least favorite pairing: this has less to do with tos and more the crimes of other trek series using tos characters but. spuhura i guess you had some moments but why did they do both your characters the disservice :(( and tos chapel and spock was so nice and hurting like i love her she crucified herself for the right to love a stoic alien (girl i get ittt) and snw fucking slaughtered her. literally feel sick thinking about how horribly they adapted her. evil and sick and twisted. anyways. tng i didnt love geordis weird hologirlfriend and also barclay stay your ass away from any woman on board. ds9 whaaaleeeee i dont really hate anything at the moment ^-^ i guess when i swing back around to it i may have more to say…. 🧐

Favorite moment: OHHHOHHHHOHHH. WELL. tos pretty much anything with spock he is my beautiful angel. but ill say the entirety of city on the edge of forever its so insanely good and has me vomiting up blood. oh also i love kevin riley when he goes crazy and is singing to the ship :•) tng oh god when data is on that planet with the little girl hes pen pals with. ingrained in my brain forever. but there are honestly so many moments i could name like i think they might be my favorite crew ever like i said the chemistry between each and every character is so fucking amazing. and also horny. i love you deanna and riker 🫶🏻 and ds9 frankly im obsessed with quark and the undercover girl ferengi bc hes so bisexual with her in drag well um. who said that

Rating out of 10: 10/10 fucking all around forever theyre my three beautiful weed smoking girlfriends. We Dont Have To Talk About The Movies.

#alsoooo teehee in good omens when she calls crowley a good lad and he says neither actually #it reminded me of when sulu called uhura fair maiden and she said neither #LIKE!!! TEEHEHEE THEY SHOULD BE BEST FRIENDSSS 🤭🤭🤭🤭😁😁😁❤️❤️❤️#asks #I LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVAARRRRRRRRR

hello, do you still accept requests? if yes, can you write something similar to ‘in full bloom’ but with ao’nung? it would be such a nice concept, considering people is expecting him to find a mate with a status and the reader is constantly fawning over him, being overly sweet and soft-spoken :(( but ao’nung overlooks her and lets her know how ridiculous it would be if she thinks that anyone could even choose her as a mate. it would be the same, she fell first but he fell harder troupe aND IT WOULD BE TONS ANGSTY maybe him and his friends would tease/bully her for it or ao’nung would constantly project/lash his frustrations on the reader since he feels heavily pressured with his duties.

hi!! ik it's been like 5ever, so thank you much for your patience ! here you are ! ik you said super angsty, but i didn't know HOW angsty, so i held back a lil ahah. i mention not having plans for a part two, but we'll see how to audience feels LMAOO

Ok so I know I said I was going to write “reasons Marika sucks speech” post a few months ago but anyways here it finally is

Now I’m also going to be interchanging Marika with the Greater Will sometimes since the GW choose her to like....rule 5ever so I’m just going to assume they were both on the same page. And now the Greater Will controls the Erdtree, slightly, so I’ll be interchanging with that too sometimes.

There’s going to be different segments to this, like different groups that give me evidence as to why Marika is kind of a beach, here we go:

The Gloam Eyed Queen and the Godskins could *kill* gods/people with the Black Flame (Not just kill people and have them reincarnate back from the tree, like no your soul is gone baby) and the GE Queen was an empyrean, the GW was cool with her!! They were cool with her having death powers!! And yet Marika/Maliketh killed her and lessened the power of the Black Flame so that Marika had no more outside competition, she wants to rule forever and have her cake and eat it to god damnit. And this shows so much with her own kids. How Ranni and Marika seemed to actually work together and at the same Godwyn was Marika’s most “beloved” son yet he gets the boot

Gonna go deeper with this one. I feel like people mostly focus on how a divorce messed up the Carian Royal family, but no one really talks about poor Godwyn. His dad gets kicked out, his mom makes him go fight against the dragons but finds out one is chill and befriends the dragons. And then he gets to be the one assassinated and his dragons also later on get fucked over. Maybe Ranni ordered it and then the Black Knives turn on her later OR maybe Marika did order it OR the Black Knives just spun a wheel to see who would be killed but...now Godwyn is the thing Marika hates the most, he is the Prince of Death. Which is something Marika seems to be afraid of and Marika alone.

After Godwyn we are going to move on to poor Miquella and his blade Malenia. I’m gonna be honest I don’t have a lot of meat to talk about these two. I just think its funny how Miquella wanted to cure their ails and even after Radagon did try to show his son what the Golden Order could do, it wasn’t enough so Miquella went to make his own tree. I’m not saying Marika didn’t care about her kids, I just think its amusing that she had 5 kids and 4 were 2 sets of twins, one pair being literally by definition Unwanted and another pair that is so cursed, like we don’t see any other sign of being unable to age or contact Rot. (I know Rot is another outer God but it seemed to have backed off when the GW arrived and Millicent and her sisters are all from Malenia).

Kenneth Haight, my beloved!! His whole quest being an implication that hating on non-humans did not come from royalty. And how the Erdtree’s light makes people chill with each other, why was the solution not to have everyone live under the light off the Erdtree?

Isn’t it messed up how Godfrey did a lot of the hard work and then became the first person to get kicked out. Oh! And the same thing happened to her own shadow Maliketh

This is where it gets tricky bc I’m about to talk about the whole Marika Radagon...thing

ok I’m in the camp of Radagon and Marika used to be one but they split at some point

(My theory is that Marika after dealing with the Fire Giants was cursed but she couldnt afford it so she split herself)

So Radagon becomes his own person, falls in love with Rennala have 3 beautiful children WHO ALL GO INTO SORCERY BTW ye all 3 have RED hair and Radahn looks up to his dad + Godfrey but they all went into sorcery and became masters of their own form in their own way like !!! they loved their momma

But then Godfrey gets the boot and since I guess no one else wanted to marry Marika, she calls over her male self since the world can’t go on without an Elden Lord

Radagon feels terrible so he leaves his wolves to guard his wife and hides his affections for her by remaking Rennala’s sword to look like one of the Order.

Bottomline: my main dislike for Marika comes from how her and the GW wanted to basically kick out almost everyone. The Fire Giants bc their flame could burn the Erdtree even tho the Erdtree and the Fire Giants were living peacefully beforehand. Also I love the fact that fire is actually needed to solve this Elden Ring conundrum. How the Demi-Humans, Omen, and Misbegottens were #HereFirst. The Albenarquics get treated like shit and couldn’t even join the Haligtree (maybe Miquella was influenced by Marika still) And Moon believers couldn’t even worship a physical rock in space without being told off and thrown underground. And what even determines who gets grace and who doesn’t, it’s not like this isn’t some luck of the draw thing. No, the grace is given by the Erdtree/Greater Will/Marika so what is their deal??

And then the audacity to call them all back because Marika wants to be able to do what she wants without giving up rule while everyone in The Lands Between suffers for it

Ugh ok, if you read this whole thing, thank you for putting up with my brain and thank you for reading. I just want to state as well that this is just my theory and ofc you have the right to disagree and post.

#roodle speaks #elden ring #marika #marika the eternal #godfrey the first elden lord #godwyn the golden #godwyn the prince of death #greater will #erdtree #gloam eyed queen #lunar princess ranni #miquella the unalloyed #malenia blade of miquella #kenneth haight #maliketh the black blade #radagon of the golden order

I'd love to know which couple you ship more: Jay/Sam or Eloise/Phillip?!

Haha just kidding!

Honestly though, this will take some serious thinking because I love them both and I honestly could NOT choose (if I didn't have to, full love to both 5ever.)

but if I HAD to, cross my heart hope to die gun at my head...I would say Jay and Sam because there's a lot less angst in their story and it's just naturally more fun. (Not that Philoise doesn't have their hilarious moments, because they do.) Just by virtue of the fact that Jay and Sam are a couple NOW, I think it's easier for them to be equals and be open about you know, parent things and actually be able to help (although given the limitations of the time period and what Phillip actually feels comfortable about telling Eloise re how his father treated him, that was handled well on the Philoise front too, even though, since Phillip's father is dead (and she can't see ghosts like Sam) Eloise couldn't help him get the same sort of closure that Jay helped Sam get from her mom.

Thanks, Nonnie!

I know so many people are disappointed that Dean didn’t get to experience free will before he died, but I am here to offer a positive perspective.

Before Jack and Cas rebuilt Heaven, with Dean in mind, it was not a place that Dean would have enjoyed. The individual spaces where people lived out their happiest memories for eternity sounds nice on the surface, but under that facade it’s really just a prison, and Dean saw that horror very clearly. But by the time he died his last, permanent death, he had come to peace with that fate. I mean, no matter what, he was going to die someday, and that was going to be waiting for him, right? Might as well accept it for what it is.

When he saw Bobby sitting on the Roadhouse porch, his first question was “what memory is this?”

He expected a prison. A very nice, upscale one, but a prison nonetheless.

But that’s not what it was. Jack and Cas, out of love for Dean (and Sam; TFW 5ever), used what he taught them, and reformed the whole thing. Something they couldn’t have, wouldn’t have done without his influence. He changed Castiel from an Angel of the Lord, to an Angel of the Winchester, who loved and understood Humanity in a way that no other angel ever could. He showed Jack how to enjoy the little things in life, and the importance of experiencing those things with loved ones.

And what did they do with that knowledge? They broke down the walls. They destroyed the prison complex. Everyone can walk freely through the fields of Heaven. And from the looks of Harvelle’s it appears they can still have the things they loved most from Earth.

Dean can go for joyrides in his Baby. He can visit his family and his friends any time he wants. When he’s ready, and he has all of eternity to become ready, he can choose to pray to Castiel to get his feathered ass over here so they can work out their relationship. (And as a celestial being who has experienced eons of existence, Castiel has the patience to wait for him, trust me. Growing older makes your perspective on time change, and Castiel is Very Old, after all. And he’s had his midlife crisis, so he’s probably chill again with waiting. Anyway, that’s a side rant lol)

Dean chooses to wait to do all of those things until Sammy is able to join him. Because Heaven, all of Heaven, has been rebuilt to be HIS. And Dean Winchester’s Heaven looks a lot like Freedom.

Fluff prompts : Kristanna sharing blankets, please!!!

Anon, I am SO sorry for keeping you hanging for so long with this one!!! This has been sitting in my inbox for way too long, and I am so ashamed that it took me 5ever to answer this prompt. I really hope you enjoy this modern au camping fic!!!! Admittedly...some parts of it may be a little odd, but I genuinely think the best way to describe it is "couple who has been together for a long time are super comfortable with each other." Anyway, I hope you like it and I'm so sorry for keeping you waiting!!!! ��

Special thank you to Rhianne (@tamorasky) for answering my questions about what camping is like and for helping me figure out some of the details for this one. Love you lots 💕

1. "Here, let's share the blanket." Send me a prompt!

Anna was not an early riser; if she was given the option, she’d choose to sleep in until ten or eleven every morning, and then spend another hour cuddled up in bed until she finally gained the motivation to get up. Her boyfriend, on the other hand, was the opposite. Most days it felt like he was up at the crack of dawn, always eager to seize the day and get a head start on whatever tasks he had to accomplish.

And apparently, going on vacation wasn’t enough of a reason to justify sleeping in a bit later than usual.

Granted, she wouldn’t necessarily compare a camping trip with a stay in a luxury resort and week spent on the beach, but spending a weekend doing one of Kristoff’s favorite things left her with little to complain about. The things that made him happy always made her happy in turn, save for the early rising and the freezing cold weather.

Suffice to say, waking up to the sensation of her heat source pulling away from her and pressing his lips to her temple for a brief, chaste kiss before exiting the tent was not how she’d envisioned waking up that morning. She groaned, burying her face in the pillow and trying to will herself back to sleep for a little while longer, but found the sensation of her slightly numb toes too distracting.

After tossing and turning a few times, Anna reluctantly accepted that she would not be falling back to sleep that morning, and would instead have to get up and face the day. The clock on her phone alerted her to the fact that it was just past seven o’clock, which meant they still had a long day ahead of them. With a sigh, she begrudgingly pulled the blanket over her shoulders and sauntered out of the tent. Kristoff was standing next to the camp stove, presumably making himself a cup of coffee.

“Morning,” Anna grumbled, taking a seat on the wooden bench and pulling the blanket more tightly around her.

“Morning, sunshine,” Kristoff crooned, his smile growing at the sight of her. “What are you doing up so early?”

“I woke up when you left the tent.”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you,” he said, fidgeting with some of the utensils he’d laid out on the table.

“I know,” she sighed. “It’s not your fault. But it is too cold out for me to sleep by myself. Remind me - who thought going camping in November was a good idea?”

“That would be your sister,” he chuckled, nodding his head towards one of the still occupied tents. “I mean, I guess technically I was the one who suggested camping. But she chose the dates.”

“Mmm. I’m of the opinion that camping should be off the table from November to April unless we’re staying indoors.”

“That’s a fair compromise.” Kristoff smiled lopsidedly, setting a cup of coffee down in front of her. “Though, you do look awfully adorable cocooned in the blanket like that.”

“Thank you.” Anna grinned back at him, a familiar warmth blossoming beneath her skin and reminding her that even on the coldest of days, Kristoff was capable of making her cheeks and the tips of her ears burn with affection. The longer they were together, the stronger warm, fuzzy, fluttery feelings she felt towards him grew, and she hoped that those feelings would never, ever go away.

With a low groan, he took the seat next to her, cradling the mug of steaming coffee between the palms of his hands. She peered up at him, observing that with every breath he took, a small cloud of condensation escaped his lips. “It is pretty cold out here today, huh?”

“It is. Here, let’s share the blanket,” Anna offered without a shred of hesitation. She loosened her grip on the edge, standing up for a moment so she could free the portion that had been underneath her before draping it over his shoulders. He pulled it over his body and she scooted closer to him, cuddling into his side as he wrapped an arm around her waist.

She reveled in the warmth that his body provided her; though she couldn’t quite understand how or why, he appeared to radiate more heat than the average person. They balanced each other out, though. She tended to run on the colder side of the spectrum, often needing more layers in colder weather to preserve any warmth she could while Kristoff happily paraded around in shorts and a t-shirt until it was uncomfortably cold outside. She tended to enjoy warmer weather as a result, while he often complained that it was ‘too hot’ outside.

And while he claimed he didn’t enjoy the sensation of her icy cold feet pressing against his calves as they laid in bed on blustery winter evenings, he never stopped her from doing it, either. A playful shove, or a teasing warning to ‘get those icicles away from me’ never ended with anything less than a fit of giggles, and her feet always stood exactly where they were.

“So, I guess this is what our relationship has turned into,” Kristoff announced, his warm brown eyes sparkling in the sunlight. “I make you coffee, and you share your blankets with me.”

“I think it’s a fair arrangement,” Anna smirked. “We keep each other warm.”

He nodded, taking a sip of his coffee. “Hey, I didn’t say I didn’t like our little arrangement. I like it a lot, actually.”

“Good,” she smiled. “What’s on the agenda for today?”

“I have to go to the townsite to grab a few things for tonight, and then I figured we could go for a hike before it gets too dark.”

“I’ll come with you to the townsite. I forgot to bring my deodorant and dry shampoo, so I need to grab some.”

“Oh, so that’s what that smell was,” Kristoff teased. “I thought a skunk sprayed the camp last night.”

“Rude.” Anna rolled her eyes. “I don’t smell that bad.”

“I don’t think you have the best grasp on your own odor, baby. You’re pretty smelly.”

She pouted, pushing her lower lip outwards and furrowing her brows. “I don’t complain when you smell bad.”

“You do, actually,” he chuckled, leaning down to brush his lips against her hairline. “But I’m only teasing. You smell fine.”

Unwilling to let him off the hook so easily, Anna crossed her arms over her chest and feigned anger. “Yeah, well, now I’m self-conscious. Maybe you’re just immune to my stench because you’ve been around me for so long.”

Kristoff laughed boisterously, shaking his head from side to side. “You’re such a drama queen. Don’t worry, we’ll get you some deodorant and then you’ll be back to smelling like...whatever it is that your deodorant smells like.”

“Vanilla,” she scoffed playfully, swatting at his chest as if knowing the specific scent of her deodorant should’ve been a given. “Come on, Kris, keep up!”

“I guess to be totally fair, I don’t even know what my own deodorant smells like.”

“Sandalwood and timber.”

His mouth fell open slightly. “How do you know that?!”

“Because you smell like a lumberjack,” she giggled. “Also because I see the label every time I open the bathroom cabinet. And because I buy it every time it’s my turn to do the grocery shopping.”

“Sheesh,” he blinked. “I guess I’d better start paying closer attention to things. Normally I just throw the first one I grab into the cart and forget about it.”

“If it’s any consolation, I think you’re a very attentive boyfriend,” Anna murmured, leaning in closer to him. “And that’s what really matters.”

“Mmm,” Kristoff hummed, leaning in to capture her lips.

And just like that, any remaining thoughts about being cold were instantly forgotten. All she could think about was the sensation of his lips pressed against hers and the warmth that was flooding through her veins and pricking her skin.

If only the sound of a tent unzipping behind them hadn’t had to disturb them.

🐠Fri 27 Nov ‘20👚

Louis dropped a longer (but still very brief) Live in London promo vid and Parkinson UK's Festive Night In will feature a (probably equally short) video appearance from Harry Dec 10, and today is Black Friday which means everyone wants to sell us stuff! Louis dropped even more new merch (pink jumper!), then helped us out with styling advice, while Harry's store rereleased a large selection of 'classic' merch (also a pink jumper!), almost all of which very quickly sold out, though the option to support Choose Love and have the store make an additional donation on your behalf may still be possible to access. Louis' new limited merch is still available though, including the, yes, bucket hat! Man when Louis says he's gonna deliver for us he does NOT mess around huh?? Louis liked a tweet about the merch (“at this point I'm scared to buy anything from Louis' store that he'll drop something else and I'll be broke by the end of the week” umm Louis you aren't trying to tell us there's MORE coming this week surely?) then went to check out her page, unliked that one and liked her pinned tweet which was a piano cover of Fearless. Nice! And he offered us all some fashion advice: responding to a complaint about the black joggers having white strings he said “White socks white trainers. Problem solved.” LT™ white socks are available now at the official merch store for all your louie fashion needs! And speaking of iconic looks, we got a very special unseen of Harry today; it's from 2013 and he's at a literal 1D merch factory on an 'I heart 1D' bicycle, in a tiny 1D shirt, gaudy purple print bottoms, and a backwards pink hat I have suspicions may be 1D branded, holding a 1D perfume, with a word bubble coming out of his mouth saying I'm proud of my pop past and I love my band 5ever... oh wait no that part is just subtext! My bad. There was also an unseen of him at the pub by his house posing with Liam Gallagher from last year when we knew they were there together, and in up to date Harry pics, a few from the set of Don't Worry Darling came out yesterday showing Harry in disheveled evening wear (and a mask.)

Niall, Harry, and Louis all appear in the top 50 twitter users (by follower count) list; Niall is in the highest spot of the three! Liam is 51st, SO CLOSE, and 1D and Zayn are close behind. They all came in above such worthy contenders as the Pope, president elect Biden, google, and Reuters-- priorities! Sad news today too however as we bid farewell to a peculiar companion: VisitEroda.com has been suspended. Is she really gone for good though? Harry's whole ass merch store was down just the other day, may VisitEroda also rise from the ashes like a pheonix with exciting new content! I for one hope so though I know some would be happy to see it sink beneath the waves forever. The Eroda social accounts remain active.

#harry styles #louis tomlinson #News circulated about a cinamatographer working on DWD being charged with assault and facing polish prison time #its not anything that just happened or that goes to trial in time to effect DWD shooting but I gotta say #“works a lot with darren aronofsky” and “beat up a paramedic” do not paint a picture of someone I would want to know #aaay I FORGOT yesterday – Tammi posted a picture of Freddie with the song Not Your Baby over it LMAAOOO #she is hilarious and one of these days is going to fully crack under the pressure of not yelling HE'S MY KID and just end it ISTG #meanwhile creepy [redacted] messaged Louis' dentist and said that she was lying about her own height #because it confirmed Louis was 5'9” and they 'Just Know' he's tiny so that can't be right #please: stop #everyone can have whatever fictional versions of the guys they want living in their heads but intruding into their RL spaces with that?#Not Good #harry #louis #eroda #27 nov 20

Bless that T Swift/SJM crossover anon!! Can I add some other ones?!

The 1 - Chaol & Celaena after she’s Aelin again (or Chaol & Nesryn.....poor Chaol)

The Last Great American Dynasty - more like the Last Great Terrasen Dynasty lol

My Tears Ricochet - Aelin @ Arobyn

Mirrorball - Lysandra

Mad Woman = AELIN

The Lakes - Aelin talking about Rowan when she’s tired of it all

Not my (Chloe Ting sponsored) ass realizing just now that the original anon meant all the sjm pairings, but since I’m deep in the acotar trash atm I only made those.

ACOTAR I & II

Apologies jeje.

Manorian: generally speaking they have such reputation vibes. Immaculate record for immaculate couple.

... Ready for it? - “But if he's a ghost, then I can be a phantom Holdin' him for ransom” // “Younger than my exes but he act like such a man, so I see nothing better, I keep him forever Like a vendetta-ta” // “You should see the things we do, baby In the middle of the night, in my dreams I know I'm gonna be with you So I take my time Are you ready for it?”. Listen do I really need to explain this or do we all just see it?. This song has the electricity, the sexyness, the roughness, the daring aspect that makes manorian be the GOD tier couple that they are.

I’d Lie - Right, bare with me but I will lol at this forever because Manon is basically “And I could tell you his favorite color's green He loves to argue, born on the seventeenth His sister's beautiful, he has his father's eyes And if you asked me if I love him, I'd lie”. It’s such a weird song to associate with them but it fits her so well hahahahaha because my girl lives in such denial that I just can’t hahahahahahaaha and like “I don't let nobody see me wishing he was mine” this is MANON FOR DORIAN ALL THE TIME, and everyone is like but we see you wanting him so just do something about it!!!

Rowaelin

Willow - this screams Rowan looking at Aelin: “Wherever you stray I follow I'm begging for you to take my hand Wreck my plans That's my man”. He straight up left Maeve and the blood pact thingy they had for the blond girl he met three months prior. Also “Wait for the signal and I'll meet you after dark Show me the places where the others gave you scars Now this is an open-shut case Guess I should've known from the look on your face Every bait and switch was a work of art”, this speaks of the vulnerability shared through HoF about their scars and of Rowan realizng that every step he took was so he would met her. Willow is Rowan’s song for Aelin.

The Lakes- LET HER GO TO TERRASEN WHERE ALL THE POETS WENT TO DIE, LET HER STAY SO THAT WISTERIA GROWS AROUND HER FEET BECAUSE SHE HASN’T MOVED IN YEARS.

Elorcan

Hoax - the balance of the deep betrayal and the love, the hurt and the I would choose you again all of the nuances of Lorcan’s betrayal and the shattered illusions that speak of them even in their absences, are in Hoax: “Stood on the cliffside Screaming, "Give me a reason" Your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in Don't want no other shade of blue But you No other sadness in the world would dI believe in Don't want no other shade of blue But you No other sadness in the world would do”.

Lysandeon

Paper rings- “The wine is cold Like the shoulder that I gave you in the street Cat and mouse for a month or two or three Now I wake up in the night and watch you breathe”. This song matches their energy so well even if the lyrics don’t all offer exact parallels. They did however play cat and mouse for a month or two or three. “I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings Uh huh, that's right Darling, you're the one I want” Lysandra being accustomed to the finer things in life but she would slum it for Aedion; she is here for thick and thin.

Nesraq:

Gorgeous - “Of your magnetic field being a little too strong And I got a boyfriend (Chaol), he's older than us He's in the club (palace) doing, I don't know what (Yrene....) You're so cool (Sartaq really is the coolest), it makes me hate you so much (I hate you so much)” // You make me so happy (dude Nesryn loves spending time with him and he feels valued), it turns back to sad (fuck what about Chaol.. we promised each other it give it ago), yeah There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have (because he’s the prince and I’m not royal) You are so gorgeous it makes me so mad”.

Chaorene:

Dancing with our hands tied - even if the lyrics don’t create perfect parallels, I think the main theme of the song being two people that want to be together, but feel their relationship has a lot of baggage would fit them well. Yrene has to get over her hate for Adarlan (even though she has every every every right to hate Adarlan) and Chaol has to get over *himself*. “I, I loved you in spite of Deep fears that the world would divide us So, baby, can we dance Oh, through an avalanche? And say, say that we got it I'm a mess, but I'm the mess that you wanted”.

Sam x Celaena:

I know places - them trying to run away so they could find a safe place to be in love? indeed. Me crying right now because they never got to? you bet: “'Cause they got the cages, they got the boxes And guns They are the hunters, we are the foxes And we runBaby, I know places we won't be found and They'll be chasing their tails trying to track us down Cause I, I, I, I know places we can hide, I, I (...)”.

Dorian x Celaena:

The Way I loved you - To Dorian from Aelin... with love, friendship love that is. Because she recognizes the potential in him, in them, she knows he would be good to her and she knows that she indeed fell for him hard enough to want him for herself, but it just doesn’t feel like *that* anymore.

Red - From Dorian’s perspective: “Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly”// “Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted Was right there in front of you Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words To your old favorite song Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword And realizing there's no right answer”. They were literally a crash and burn. But neither of them can actually bring themselves to regret it. It was fun while it lasted and in its way it brought them closer.

Chaol x Celaena:

We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together - self explanatory, this is them through QoS. My Celorian ass is here for this pettiness I will take no criticism.

Forever and Always - “Was I out of line? Did I say something way too honest, made you run and hide Like a scared little boy I looked into your eyes Thought I knew you for a minute, now I'm not so sure So here's to everything coming down to nothing Here's to silence, that cuts me to the core Where is this going? Thought I knew for a minute, but I don't anymore” This was essentially Chaol’s thought process wondering why him an Celaena don’t work anymore and feeling like... a “we were supposed to be together 5ever what happened.... besides me not doing much to prevent her bff’s death and working for the dude that orchestrated the murder of her nation ?”

August - if I’m being honest this song fits them too not my fave song from folklore being for my least favorite couple in this story but if I gave Feylin some of my all time favorites I can give this one to them, but like “But I can see us lost in the memory August slipped away into a moment in time 'Cause it was never mine And I can see us twisted in bedsheets August sipped away like a bottle of wine 'Cause you were never mine Your back beneath the sun Wishin' I could write my name on it” Even though Chaol was ready to leave it all for her (he would literally cancel plans.. his life plans in case she’d call) she knew that this was an impossibility, their time was brief and it slipped away like a bottle of wine. She could never be his, because she was not entirely herself with him being Aelin meant opening up a lot of things and if Chaol had a hard time getting past a lot of Celaena’s traits then we can imagine the work, literally work he would have to do to accept Aelin... you know what, we don’t have to imagine it... it’s right there in QoS and ToD, anywho, he could never write his name on her back because she was never his, because he did not accept her for all that she was.

Aelin x Dorian x Chaol:

Long live - “I said, remember this moment, in the back of my mind The time we stood with our shaking hands The crowds in stands went wild We were the kings and the queens” // “Will you take a moment? Promise me this That you'll stand by me forever But if, God forbid, fate should step in And force us into a goodbye If you have children some day When they point to the pictures Please tell them my name Tell them how the crowds went wild Tell them how I hope they shine Long live the walls we crashed through I had the time of my life, with you” // I’m emotional right now and I need to cry it out.

I’m not 100% sure on the Chaoyrene one... but I think it’s good enough for me to post this hahaha

Anywho, I hope whoever asked for this enjoyed it 💛💛

#Feysandfeelsasks #Rowaelin #Manorian #Elorcan #Chaorene #Nesraq #Lysandion #Celorian #I don't know what Chaol and Celaena were #sorry

Still bored at work SO caryl things I want to see

1) Carol finding Connie and thinking that bringing back Connie is the thing that will make Daryl happy 5ever and he very quickly corrects her

2) Leah and the reapers dying in a way that doesn't make Daryl feel guilty and in a way that shows him choosing Carol over Leah with literally no second guessing

3) Kiss, duh. They must be teary-eyed the first time.

4) Sex scene. Stylistically I'm thinking of the sex scene between Maggie and Glenn at the prison after the governor sexually assaults her. Obviously without the disturbing connotations. Lovemaking but also with giggles and happiness at having each other

4a) Daryl must take off his shirt and Carol must run her fingers over his scars with That Look on her face and he does that cheekbone-stroking thing again with That Look on his face and kisses her the way he very obviously wanted to kiss her during That Scene In The Woods Hunting Whisperers

5) Him stroking/playing with the bracelet he made her and they share A Look

6) Her finding the acorns in his vest, either while he's there or not, and she smiles

7) Princess commenting on them preferably before they go canon, but if it's after they go canon, I want it to be a secret to everyone else until she comments and then everyone's like omfg wait rly?!

8) if negan doesn't die maybe he makes some snarky comment immediately following princess' revelation

9) Daryl calls Carol sweetheart or some other pet name

10) Carol calls him pookie

11) some kind of callback to That Bus Scene

12) Carol tells Daryl about the grove

13) some sort of conversation/implication that explains that Daryl was never in love with Leah or Connie specifically bc he loved Carol, and Carol was never in love with zeke specifically bc she loved Daryl. I want it to be acknowledged not just assumed by us or headcanoned by us

14) a mention of Sophia would be delicious but not required

15) Daryl brings Carol flowers again, or at the very least is showing picking flowers and it's clear who they're for

the journey back

iii. haunting sovereignty

character(s) — tsukishima kei, matsukawa issei, hanamaki takahiro

pairing — tsukishima kei x reader (and matsukawa x hanamaki if you squint a little)

genre — royalty!au, reincarnation!au, soulmate!au

warning(s) — none

beta(s) — @/doughnuts-5ever

masterlist

“It’s been half a year and you still get lost on campus,” Tsukishima teases as you flop into the seat beside him, dumping your bag onto the table with a heavy thump.

“Shut up,” you groan, slumping onto his shoulder. “This class is on a whole nother side of campus, and I’ve never been here before.”

Tsukishima doesn’t say anything, opting to respond with an aggravating hum and an unnecessarily loud sip of his coffee. Eight o’clock classes weren’t good for you, especially if you hadn’t had time to drink any form of caffeine. Leaning more of your weight onto him, you stare down at the table, eyes crossing in and out of focus...

“Alright class, get into your pairs!”

You jerk away from Tsukishima, eyes wide as you watch the class shift around. “What’s going on?”

Tsukishima straightens up from his position, rolling his right shoulder back. “Your head’s heavy.”

You shoot him a glare, and he sniffs, tilting the screen of his laptop towards you. “We have to do research and present on the history of Japan’s monarchy. The teacher assigned us to the Forgotten Years. It’ll be a difficult topic to cover, but I figured we’d be able to handle it.”

“The Forgotten Years?” You furrow your brows in confusion. “Honestly, did you even open the textbook to read?” Tsukishima sighs, and explains. “They’re the years that the majority information of the ruling sovereignty at that point of time was lost. Hence, Forgotten Years.”

Nodding, you read through the project brief. This might be a challenge to research on, but lost things always called out to you, and this was no exception.

“You know, my grandmother used to tell me her grandmother’s grandmother had sovereign blood in her, though I think she just wanted to say she had royal blood in her,” you muse, grinning at Tsukishima. “You think you could have royal blood? You certainly have the looks for it, and that haughty personality to complete it.”

He starts, a light blush spreading across his cheeks as he processes your hidden compliment. “Well, you definitely don’t have royal blood in you. I doubt royals are ever late, nor would they walk around with a toothpaste stain on their collar.”

Glancing down, you do indeed find the red stain of your strawberry toothpaste on your collar. You frown, rubbing at it furiously until it goes away.

“Shut up.” You grumble, glaring at the offending collar as Tsukishima snickers.

“You’re welcome, Princess.”

You slump into the sofa next to Issei, curling up into his side as he and Makki argue over dinner. Without missing a beat, Issei wraps an arm around you, and you watch in amusement as they continue to yell.

“We had that last time, and the time before that, and the time before that time! It’s my turn to choose, and I’m choosing the ramen store on the corner of the street!”

“Oh, you’re just choosing that ramen store because of that cute delivery boy,” Issei sneers, tossing a pillow at your now-pinked face friend.

“Wha-shut up, no I’m not,” Makki splutters, tossing the pillow back.

You grin, pulling out your phone and placing an order for pizza. They were never going to settle on dinner, not tonight at least. A text from Tsukishima comes in, and you reply to him, tuning out the two idiots as their argument progresses.

“Y/n, back me up- what are you doing?” Issei frowns down at you, snatching your phone away and squinting at it. “Is that a boy? Are you texting a boy?”

Makki yelps and bounces off his seat, practically landing in Issei’s lap. “She’s what?”

You scramble for your phone, trying to wriggle out of Issei’s death grip. “He’s just a friend, we have a few classes together.”

“Just a friend?” Makki says incredulously. “Do you give all your just friends emojis like his?”

You flush and jab Makki in his side. He squeaks, jerking up in Issei’s lap. Issei wraps his free arm around Makki’s waist. “Dude, don’t bounce around like that. Your bony ass doesn’t feel good.”

“Then get her royal highness not to assault my sides,” the pink-haired man argues back, going as far as to elbow Issei’s stomach.

“If Princess wants to attack you, then attack you she shall.” He winks at you. “I am merely her servant, here to carry out her wishes.”

“The Princess wishes for her phone to be returned.” You shoot them a pointed stare.

“Here to carry out most of her wishes,” Issei amends. “Sorry Princess, but we gotta see who this mysterious boy is.”

“His name is Tsukishima Kei, and he happened to be from the same prefecture we lived in.”

“Tsukishima Kei? His name sounds familiar…” Makki scratches his chin thoughtfully. “Show us his photos.”

You hold your hand out, staring them down. “I’ll need my phone back for that.”

Issei returns your phone reluctantly, and you go to his Instagram, flashing them brief photos of him.

“Oh! I remember him, he was one of the volleyball players on Karasuno. Defeated us in our final year of high school, remember that Mattsun?”

Issei glares at Makki, their third year still a touchy subject. “So what’s he like?”

“What do you mean what’s he like? Didn’t you just say you knew him?” You shake your head incredulously.

He waves a hand dismissively as he rolls his eyes. “Yeah, as a volleyball player, not as a person. Besides, you didn’t see us hang around others much did you?”

“Mmm, that’s fair.” You sink back into Issei’s side as Makki rolls onto the ground, resting his head on your leg. “Well, he’s..., he’s a nice guy I guess?” You shrug helplessly.

At their prodding glares, you scrunch your face up and continue. “He’s smart, he has nice handwriting… oh, he has a mean streak, but it’s kinda funny I guess. He likes provoking people, and it’s quite funny to see people get worked up because of his comments. He gets this really pleased look when he successfully riles someone up, it’s kinda adorable.”

The duo stares at you in disbelief and you shift uncomfortably as the silence drags on.

“Someone has a crush,” Makki waggles his brows.

“Someone has a very, very big crush.” Issei corrects, his thick brows rising so high they almost meet his hairline.

You flush deeply and smack them both. “I do not! You asked me what he's like and I told you.”

They exchange incredulous looks and turn back to you in unison.

“Did you even hear what you said and how you sounded?”

“It’s okay Mattsun. You know what they say, denial is the first step to acceptance.”

“I do not have a crush on him, he’s just a friend.”

The doorbell rings then, and you jump up. “The pizza’s here, I’ll go get it.”

You silently thank the delivery boy for his fortunate timing, stuffing a little more than what’s necessary into his hands.

“Wait, when did you order pizza? I thought we were getting ramen!”

The delicate flower crown sits atop your head, a beautiful mixture of red, orange, and yellow wildflowers intertwined with each other. You wear it with pride and love, a bright smile shining at every stranger that walks past you in the cafe. Issei had made it for you this morning, with flowers he had illegally plucked from the park he jogs at.

It doesn’t take long for Tsukishima to arrive, perpetually in his cool composure and signature headphones. He usually greets you with a nod, but today all he can do is stare at you, stunned.

“What?” You touch your face self-consciously. “Is there something on my face?

The blond shakes his head, pushing his glasses up slightly.

“No, you just- you look pretty.” A light blush coats his cheeks, and you can feel an answering flush creep down your neck.

“Thank you.” You aren’t quite sure how to respond, having never received such an outright compliment from the snarky blond before. It brings to mind the conversation you had the other day with your boys, and your flush deepens at the maybe-not-so-outlandish idea of you having feelings for Tsukishima.

“Crowns suit you,” he says offhandedly as he settles down in the seat opposite you.

(Your heartbeat definitely does not speed up even more at this. Not one bit.)

“I bet you’ll look good in crowns too! Flower crowns in specific.” You send a wink his way, relishing in the blush that creeps down his neck and past the collar of his shirt.

(You definitely do not enjoy that blush of his, especially since you caused it. You just like seeing him ruffled, that’s all.)

Flower crowns must be special, as despite the flustered expression he sports, Tsukishima replies steadily, “I look good in many things, but I doubt I’d pull off this look as well as you do.”

Your mouth drops open at his smooth reply and he leaves you no chance to gather a retort before he gets up to order your drinks - he has long memorised your order at this cafe.

He returns with your orders and sets your drink down. It has a little flower doodled on the side, with a large loopy ‘Princess’ scrawled beside it.

(Tsukishima, of all people, you scream internally. Tsukishima Kei.)
