devoted, intimate, peace & quiet forrrr barrix and avitis i am a simple man 🥺👉👈

Devoted: How do they show they're serious? BARRIX: Spoken commitment is something Avitus has always been flighty about but, both very much aware of that, Macen understands that his brand of over-loyal guard dog behaviour is in fact him showing his devotion to him. In return, Macen's the one who puts it into words - affirming time after time that he loves him, he cares for him, he'll do anything for him if he just asks. AVITIS: As a general rule, they don't. Neither one of them particularly wants to admit it's a serious relationship, even after decades spent with each other. But... living together, even going as far as buying an apartment and getting a pet together, well, that says otherwise really. Intimate: What kind of dates do they like? BARRIX: Dinner dates, wherein Macen picks a restaurant (must have decent food and not be fancy enough that feral animal Avitus will get kicked out), they both put on their most decent clothes (difficult, given how the evening invariably ends with Avitus shredding them) and attempt to make it through past dessert without needing to go home and deal with the mental images Avitus has been supplying Macen with every time they're beyond risking being overheard. AVITIS: Very occasionally, they meet at bars, pretend they didn't arrive in the same taxi and proceed to flirt over drinks before heading home once again, but usually date night means ordering in a substantial amount of food and curling up together to marathon one of the few shows they agree on - usually a detective show during which Castis gets distracted critiquing the accuracy of the investigation and Avitus pretends he doesn't find that frustratingly arousing. Peace: How do they relax together? BARRIX: Macen loves to cook and bake, usually roping Avitus in to prep ingredients because man does he know his way around a knife. It's relaxing for Macen and being given simple tasks works remarkably well to de-stress Avitus once he gets involved too. Simply being in one another's presence is healing to each other too. AVITIS: Paperwork time - usually spent sitting at opposite ends of the sofa with their feet propped up on each other. Castis invariably has more to do but it takes Avitus so fucking long to write up his mission reports that it balances out in the end. When Avitus doesn't have anything to do, he tends to make a pest of himself to keep Castis motivated. It's a regular, set routine and they both find that fact comforting. Quiet: What can they do together without talking? BARRIX: Cooking, usually; once Avitus is familiar with just what Macen's planning, he doesn't need reminding, just handing what needs prepping at the appropriate time cues. It frees Macen up to get lost in his thoughts, which he appreciates considering Avitus rarely ever fucking shuts up. AVITIS: As long as it's been since they did so, work. It's one of the few things they both miss about the days when they were in the same squad; as difficult as that time in their lives was, training and friendship meant they rarely ever needed to speak out loud when fighting. Avitus is more open about missing it, even though he knows full well that time has passed, but Castis also sometimes finds himself wishing he could go back to then.

Height gap romance except the shorter one is frequently depicted in situations where they are contextually taller. The taller one sitting while the shorter one looms over them. Both of them lying in bed with the taller one’s head pressed to the shorter one’s chest. The shorter one straddling the taller one’s lap and leaning down for a kiss. The taller one on their knees as the shorter one tilts their head up. Please, it makes me go feral

Worldbuilding is meaningless without interesting characters

online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

#one day twelve years ago one of my favourite rp partners simply vanished #just out of nowhere no farewell no note no deletion just didn't log in one day and never came back #I've got no way and no good reason to find her but I just wish I knew she was alright in the end

Being a little too cold: brrrr i’m a little too cold !!!

Being a little too warm: i am going to kill the next person who makes eye contact with me.

this does not apply if you wear exclusively leggings. Those things tear all the time you need like a million on standby

Character questions: Castis 4 and 9 and my damn ADHD GOT ME AGAIN so uhhh 12? Have no memory of what 12 was, so here's hoping it doesn't suck.

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in? Gritty nordic-noir style detective show!! Precisely which one, I'm not sure but he's tailor made for the genre I swear to god complete with the canonically dysfunctional family. 9. Could you be roommates with this character? I definitely could. Whether he could room with me without needing so much fucking therapy is another thing entirely. 12. What's a headcanon you have for this character? (12 is an excellent question don't you worry lmao) Man I have SO MANY headcanons for him but let's go with this one: Castis is a FCW veteran, specifically a piddling to nothing grunt on the ground, who came out of there with the to-be-expected psychological consequences. However he's put a considerable amount of time (and therapy) into avoiding letting that trauma push him towards xenophobia, no matter how easy that path would have been to go down. He questions himself, his decisions and reactions constantly and, whilst he definitely makes mistakes, he's always keen to try and learn from them in order to do better.

character asks 2, 8, and 16 forrrrr nihlus and garrus let's hear it

2. Favorite canon thing about this character? NIHLUS: TERMINUS TRASH TERMINUS TRASH TERMINUS TRASH GARRUS: Shitty little bastard cop send tweet <3 8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise? NIHLUS: Blatantly ignores what we know about him in canon and/or makes him an ultra-serious asshole. Like, c'mon, dude deserves so much more nuance than that. GARRUS: Justifies his actions. It smells like chronic blorbo apologism; like if you like the shitty little bastard cop just like him for who he is - a massive fuck up who's wrong about a pile of stuff because he's young, impulsive and has poor critical thinking skills. 16. What's your least favorite ship for this character? NIHLUS: Nihlus/Shepard. End of- I love verses where Nihlus and Shep get to actually get to know one another and get to become colleagues and friends, but it's not romantic sorry man not every turian wants to fuck shepard GARRUS: Tali/Garrus. Look, I love the two of them but the chewable stuff there is allowing them to be stand-in siblings for each other. Tali deserves a moronic big brother and maybe having a little sister to call him on his shit loudly over comms at work could fix whatever's wrong with Garrus (spoiler alert: only if she gets to shoot him too).

I’m also interested hearing what exactly the ship is that you based your answer on, if you’d like to share!

(This was meant to be fandom specific but doesn’t have to be. Be free!)
