local loserboy under the impression that skin grafting is when you sew your flesh together (wrong) (homo)

getting stabbed on your way to your dear colleague’s place

#wish that was me #haha jk…. unless #the inherent intimacy of having someone dear to you tend to your wounds and provide comfort #can you tell my hurt/comfort bias #it’s right here if you’ve missed it #i have so many feelings about them and this game #daniil dankovsky #artemy burakh #pathologic #мор утопия #pathologic 2 #burakhovsky

𝗚𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵. That said, when speaking of his paramour with the mention of Mystra, it is not a slight. After all, Mystra, the goddess, wasn't just his lover; she, as she'll remain, controls the Weave.

As a scholar of magic for all his life, Gale is thoroughly enamored with it. He's always had the Weave, casting spells and enchantments for as far as his long memory goes, and there's no power on earth that can pale that devotion. When Gale says Mystra's name, in love, it is never with yearning. When he tells his lover that he forgets his goddess when he stands beside them, he means quite literally that he foregoes his faith. He doesn't mention her like a quality benchmark with which they've somehow surpassed, but to punctuate how wholly he has fallen for them. With a new, honest love, he is turned entirely from Mystra. In fact, so utterly bewitched, he's like a born again man. He isn't besotted by his goddess, held stalwart in her sway and seemingly, abundantly, and frustratingly stubborn. After that disastrous relationship, I promise you, Gale spares not a single thought toward her. She might have control of the Weave, and as such, stands still his only patron deity, but his new, doting lover? They become something of a new religion for him; he is most devoted, taken by, and so loyal to them.

He does not see Mystra. Do not assume he still feels for her.

He's a man of one love, and they will have all of him.

#HEADCANON. #Never go into the Gale tag because the fandom has such bad faith interpretations of Gale 24/7 #I say as another bad take makes me type this up. #Gale isn't still hung up on her GOD. Stop. #Stop saying 'Gale keeps mentioning Mystra when we're being romantic and it's so annoying.' #Dude. Mystra is his LITERAL god. He is saying YOU ARE HIS NEW FAITH. #Oh my god. Stop misinterpreting it. He isn't still ENAMORED with Mystra. #UGHHHHHHHH. #He got out of an abusive relationship and is finding out THIS is what love is #that this love IS something he can put his faith and heart in. #And you reduce him to... guy that can't get over ex tee hee? #Tell me why I shouldn't make your milk curdle. #Someone: the astral sex scene is just him reliving his moment with Mystra. #Or get this... he himself has basically largely only had sex and intimacy through that realm #and knows it to be pleasurable. He wants his partner to know pleasure beyond all imagination. THAT'S IT. #People make me [semi truck comically long honk]. #This man makes it a POINT that his heart is made ONLY for one and you all just?!?!? Talk like this!?! You wound Dean. [third person talk] #Anyway (breathes). I'm normal now. I will be on later cuz big things cane up at work. peace.

It kills me that Laurence/Ludwig is your main ship because your Moon Divorce is seriously my absolute favorite interpretation of their relationship. Their dynamic is SO messy and I love your writing and art so much

Thank you anon <333 ✨ but if you’ve read my work you KNOW I also relish in the messy ambiguity that is Moon Divorce, and it’s an intense, pervasive, mysterious psychosexual pining that hovers in the background even when I am writing Laurence/Ludwig. Regardless, I plan on writing the Moon Deal in the future, and hopefully some lighter Byrgenwerth-era vignettes as well. 

I have been thinking specifically about Byrgenwerth shenanigans as of late, so here is a WIP from a headcanon that revolves around Laurence starting fights in pubs by mouthing off, and poor Gehrman, three pints deep, having to finish said fights with his fists.

#ask #bloodborne #the casual intimacy of dressing another man's wounds after a pub brawl #moon divorce people come get your juice #laurence the first vicar #gehrman the first hunter #Gehrman will sell his soul to the Moon and take a drunken fist to the face for his college bf

do you think oberon vortigern & artoria avalon ever explored each other's body

They fucked in that movie theater.

#anon #ask #answer #anon to quote famed fate tumblrina toskarin do you think i'm a fool #of course they have #doomsday device to holy sword concept intimacy starts at mortal wounds and follows through to sex in liminal planes of existence #when everything is said and done and you've fulfilled both your roles and left the world for an undefined elsewhere #you have sex about it #when you're doomed to be alone by both your actions and the very kind of existence you are #you can be alone together (however briefly) (and also fuck) #fgo #obecas

i've been furiously spinning aurelia and astarion in my head while making her oc page & i cannot wait to restart her game once everything is fixed. i want them.

#like... the intimacy of astarion being with someone who has a history of hunting undead only ever being treated kindly by those hands.... #with someone who worships love and beauty and passion and has been grievously wounded by the things she reveres #but hasn't slowed her momentum or quelled her desire to find someone to live inside her heart #chewing them chewing them chewing them chewing them #📢.txt

just got here; wyll being celibate simultaneously feels So in character and also like a cop-out. does that make any sense

#bg3 #wyll ravengard #anyway feel like if they wanted it to feel sincere there'd be more options to show intimacy aside from kissing and sex #let me bind his wounds let me go for walks with him let me HANG OUT WITH HIM #disclaimer that I'm still in act I #remy yells

thinking about htb Mark and alt!Cesar's hands

#hail true body au #hands hands hands #the platonic intimacy of healing wounds and holding hands #thinking about the holding hand scene in the car outside cesar's house in particular #I love them #the sillies #help me please #the image of mark holding alt!cesar's bandaged hands is ruining me

[dykelizard]

fellas, is it gay to let your mortal enemy/psychiatrist gently clean and bandage your split, bloodied knuckles after killing the man he sent to kill you because you sent someone to kill him first while having a discussion about the intimacy of someone’s hands wrapped around your throat, and the fact that you were imagining his face on the man you murdered with your bare hands?

#hannibal #hannibal nbc #will graham #hannibal lecter #hannigram #the mortifying intimacy of letting the man you despise the most dress your wounds #puts them in my mouth and shakes them like a chew toy #i am so normal about them #ziggy speaks

returning to the office at my silly corporate job after the ritualistic art performance we had with a bestie of mine at a FETISH party (the performance itself was the most asexual/platonic shit ever) during a lunar eclipse, that caused me to spiral into a three day bender as I met a rly cool lowkey schizo??? guy that I cuddled with while kholing and merging into one person + actually opening up about my feelings for the first time in front of someone I barely know wait idk where I started with this ... oh yeah... returning to the corporate goofy office after all of this feels like a datura trip honestly wtf am I doing here who are these people even lmao

haldirk period sex. is this anything

#my t #common gross thing so im not using the ship tag #yknow what actually i know what yall like im gonna tag it #haldirk #dirkhal #cw menstruation #but they just seem to be the type to do that #hal being fascinated by blood is the core thing here #even tho menstrual fluid isnt like. actual blood. but yknow what i mean #but hes fascinated in the way that it keeps dirk alive and runs all through him and makes him warm #he loves dirks pulse bc he doesnt have one anymore #sometimes hal just wants to measure dirks pulse while theyre sitting together or cuddling. like he'll actually take a measuring #measuring your partners pulse as a form of deep intimacy >>>>>> #he loves feeling it where ever he can feel it on dirks body but especially from inside him #and dirks periods are fuckin miserable. they make his joints ache gives him migraines the whole deal #so sometimes he wants to warm hals synthetic dick and have it vibrate for a while #and hal likes the visual of both being in him and having smth that vibrantly red seep out of him w/o it being yknow a wound #hahaha...........i should write this

today's dissertation i will be giving to my own brain cells is the intimacy of violence. at 4 pm

#opal.txt #stands in front of a board #first. we have the closeness needed for dagger/knife/shortsword stabbing #second. we have literal backstabbing or surprise wounding during an embrace #THIRD #we have. the emotional intimacy of just knowing when someone will drop their guard #ALSO. as a closing point we have me talking for 15 minutes abt being covered in someone else's blood #on your hands on your clothes on your skin. in your teeth if you bit them #i am very normal

Standing naked in the shower as my butch gently removed the saniderm from my new back tattoo was maybe the most astounding act of intimacy I've ever done

#something something the naked body something something wound something something love is stored in the gentleness of butch hands #also them being like ''your clothes are gonna get wet'' because i was still semi dressed while warming the water #and i was like ''haha i just want to prolong being naked for as long as possible'' and they kissed my forehead and immediatly stripped #so i wouldnt be naked alone lol #it was..... intimate. it was fucking intimate #i need to do more exploration of what intimacy means to me #i did a bunch of art on vulnerability #but i think vulnerability and intimacy have an interesting and complicated relationship #i love my butch so much

what a wip list... what a collection of titles.. can i ask about hope springs eternal (that this draft will ever see the light of day)???

hope springs eternal (that this draft will ever see the light of day): well, you get bonus points for asking about the WIP that I was vagueing about in my previous post, haha! congratulations!! Anyway, I’m typical me fashion, this WIP started its life as a prompt fill that turned into its own thing (read: got waaay too long) and then I was like “what if it was just part 1 of a 5+1???” because I love those and I’ve never written one and I thought it would be fun! so this is a “5 times Matt borrowed Foggy’s clothes and 1 time he didn’t” type thing because I have a brand to maintain and, god willing, it will eventually see the light of day!!

Anyway, here’s an excerpt that has literally nothing to do with sharing clothes:

“There’s no way it’s that bad,” Matt says, quietly “What?” “The cut. I can feel it. It’s not that bad. I don’t know what you’re so panicked about.” “You are not allowed to lecture me on what constitutes a concerning injury or not,” Foggy grumbles, as he puts the cap back onto the bottle, and once again tries to rein in his pulse. “You base your pain and suffering threshold on the saints.” Matt smiles, wide and a little bit savage, especially with the split lip. “Whereas your medical degree is from…where again?” “The University of Common Fucking Sense, Matthew!” “Is that the one in Poughkeepsie, or am I thinking of something else?” Matt asks, with a remarkably straight face. Foggy rolls his eyes. “I don’t know where you get the energy to be such a smartass all the time.” “Just comes naturally to me.”

ask me about a wip title from this list and I’ll tell you what it is and maybe share an excerpt 💟

#thanks for the ask!!!! 💕💕💕 #wip game #ask game #apatheticjoy #ask #homelywenchsociety #that’s my writing tag! don’t worry about it! #mattfoggy #it’s like David Cronenberg said…surgery is the new sex or whatever…. #the intimacy of tending to someone’s wounds etc etc etc #ALSO SORRY THIS TOOK ME A WEEK TO REPLY TO IT HAS BEEN A WEIRD ONE!!
