Very gentle reminder for this late-night dash that there's nothing wrong with being as kind, patient, and understanding to yourself as you are with your writing partners. There's nothing wrong with taking your time, taking breaks, or being selective in where you do and don't spend your energy while you're online.

basically i was looking over the protective prompts and the hero prompts and it hit me that like. the unbridled angst and vibes of the whole “post-battle” scene, or a scene set after an attack or a disaster or smth, needs to be ADDRESSED!!! and so y’all get the full weight of my angst today, sprinkled with a lot of teamwork and selfless and sacrificing vibes. i hope you enjoy! do NOT add further contributions to this list!!! i will curse your potato crops!!!

DIALOGUE PROMPTS.

“ can you hear me? hey… [NAME], can you hear my voice? “

“ come on… wake up. please… please wake up… “

“ oh! oh, thank god! i thought we lost you… “

“ hey, hey… look at me, okay? you gotta get up now. you think you might be able to walk? ‘cause they sent for back-up, and if they find us… we cannot let them find us. understand? “

“ go, go! save yourself! i’ll buy you some time! “

“ we both know i’m not walking out of this one. it’s okay, alright? it’s okay… just… do me a favor, will you? will you make them pay for this? i don’t care how. but… don’t let them get away with it. “

“ hey, how badly are you hurt? can you move? you think you can walk? “

“ if you can’t walk, i’m gonna have to carry you, alright? we can’t stay here. “

“ hey, look at me. i’m slowing you down, we both know it. it’s okay. i’ll hide and wait for back-up; you get yourself out of here. “

“ you’re gonna need to climb up on my back, you’re slowing us down with that injury. “

“ will you quit talking like that?! i’m not leaving you behind! “

“ what the hell are you doing here?! i told you to get out of here! “

“ you’re shivering… hey. hey, listen to me, okay? everything’s gonna be alright, i promise. here… take my jacket. don’t worry, i’m warm-blooded. “

“ i’ll get blood on your shirt… “

“ hey, don’t you dare close your eyes, you hear me? you die in my arms, and i’m gonna stick the dry-cleaning bill for this shirt in your coffin, that’s a promise! “

“ i know we almost died just now, but… am i the only one who’s hungry? “

“ we need to get you to a hospital… “

“ hey, come on now… you’re okay. you’re good, right? “

“ i must be hurt pretty bad if you’re being this nice to me. “

“ quit playing the martyr. we’re not leaving you behind. “

“ you know, i hate to be the negative voice, but… did… did we just lose? “

“ look at me… i’m not gonna make it. it’s okay, i’m fine with that. but… you can’t stay here. you’ve got a good long life ahead of you. and you’re smart, too; too smart to wait around here and waste that long life. so you get out of here, and you go live that life. live it for both of us. will you promise me you’ll do that? “

“ back-up isn’t coming. is it? we’re on our own, right? “

“ can’t sleep, huh? it’s okay. it’s probably all that adrenaline and shock; i can’t sleep, either. wanna keep each other company? “

“ i don’t give two shits about the back-up; i’m just happy you’re alive. “

ACTION PROMPTS.

as always, add a “+ REVERSE” to switch the roles!

[ CARRY ]:     having found the receiver in an injured/weak/unconscious state, the sender carries them in their arms to safety.

[ TILT ]:     the sender gently tilts the receiver’s chin up so that they can check to see if they’re okay.

[ PULL ]:     sender takes the fallen receiver’s hands and carefully pulls them up so that they’re standing once more.

[ WAIST ]:     sender, while physically supporting and steadying the receiver, loops an arm around their waist for extra support.

[ BACK ]:     sender crouches down slightly to let the wounded receiver climb on their back, giving them a piggy-back ride to safety afterwards.

[ HAIR ]:     while in the process of checking the receiver for injuries or other signs of harm, the sender gently brushes several strands of hair from their eyes.

[ TEND ]:     sender begins to care for the receiver’s injuries.

[ LEAN ]:     the wounded sender leans against the receiver for physical support.

[ SUPPORT ]:     the sender encourages the wounded receiver to lean against them for physical support.

[ PUSH ]:     the sender gently pushes the receiver back to lie down so they can check them properly for injuries.

[ COAT ]:     sender removes their jacket and drapes it around the shoulders of the trembling receiver.

[ BLANKET ]:     just as they’re all about to go to sleep, the sender covers the receiver with their own blanket.

[ AWAKE ]:     the sender, unable to sleep, gets up to go for a walk, and finds that the receiver is also unable to sleep.

[ TOGETHER ]:     when the receiver awakens, they discover that the sender has been sleeping next to them, arms wrapped around one another for warmth, comfort, protection ( or something more… )

[ BANDAGE ]:     the sender sits down across from the receiver and begins to bandage their wounds.

[ DRAG ]:     unable to leave them behind, the sender drags the wounded receiver out of danger and into a safe hiding place for both of them to wait until help arrives.

[ TOUCH ]:     the sender nudges or touches the receiver to check and see if they’re alright after the attack.

[ CLEAN ]:     the sender gently and carefully begins to bathe the blood/soot/ash/dirt from the receiver’s skin during a moment of calm.

[ PRIORITY ]:     when they arrive at a designated safe place, the sender refuses to be examined or cared for until the receiver is taken care of first.

[ PROMISE ]:     before leaving to get help/food/water/a rescue mission etc, the sender assures and promises the receiver that they’ll return safely, refusing to bring them along or to stay behind.

[ BROKEN ]:     after having promised the receiver that they’d return, it’s learned that the sender died during their mission. how does the receiver respond?

[ TRAPPED ]:     after having promised the receiver that they’d return from a mission, the receiver learns that the sender has been kidnapped or otherwise trapped, requiring a rescue mission to bring them home.

[ RESCUE ]:     the sender and receiver reunite after the sender embarked upon an infamously perilous rescue mission to save the receiver.

[ FOUND ]:     after a massive rescue mission to try and find the missing receiver, the sender is the first to find them just as the efforts are about to be abandoned.

[ HOPE ]:     just as the receiver is about to lose hope in ever finding the sender again, a message or clue of some kind is discovered that essentially guarantees that the sender is still alive, restoring the receiver’s hope once more.

[ CLING ]:     having finally been reunited, the sender pulls the receiver into a tight, overwhelmingly relieved embrace, clinging to them and burying their face in their shoulder. the whole deal. make it EMOTIONAL–

[ TEARS ]:     having finally found the receiver, or having finally been found by the receiver, the sender breaks down in tears of relief, fear, and many other emotions as they officially reunite.

[ SACRIFICE ]:     knowing that the circumstances only allow one of them to survive, the sender sacrifices their life in order to guarantee the receiver’s survival and safety.

                  Knowing neither life nor death,

                        Therefore, I call thee be this name

                                THOU ART THE 𝐃𝚰𝐒𝐓𝚨𝚴𝐓 𝐎𝚴𝚬

The Flight Into Egypt- Adam Elsheimer; 1609

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐋𝐄𝐘 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄: 𝐙𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆

i just played the stanley parable for the first time recently and this ending absolutely destroyed me, so i’m making a meme about it to cope. a few lines might have been altered just a little bit to fit a more vague setting, but most remain unchanged. feel free to alter further should you need to!

trigger warnings: suicide ( or at least a mention of it )

“ i think perhaps we’ve gotten off on the wrong foot here. ”

“ i’m not your enemy here. really, i’m not. ”

“ wha- REALLY? i was in the middle of something! ”

“ do you have zero consideration for others? ”

“ are you that convinced that i want something bad to happen to you?

“ i really do want to help you. ”

“ let me prove that i’m on your side. ”

“ give me a chance. ”

“ oh, thank god, you are willing to listen to me. ”

“ do you see that i have really wanted you to be happy all this time? ”

“ don’t you see that it’s killing us? ”

“ i just… i want it to stop. ”

“ we would both be so much happier if we just stopped. ”

“ i think i have a solution. ”

“ what are we looking for? ”

“ it’s beautiful, isn’t it? ”

“ i think i feel…happy. ”

“ no, wait, where are you going? ”

“ please, no, let me stay here! ”

“ don’t take this from me! ”

“ this is where we can both be happy. ”

“ promise me you won’t go back there. ”

“ you’re risking everything we achieved here! ”

“ are you… you are going to stay here, aren’t you? ”

“ you. will. die. what about this isn’t getting through to you?! ”

“ thank god you lived. ”

“ you had me worried there for a moment. ”

“ i can’t go back to what i was before! ”

“ why are you doing this? ”

“ see? this is what you want. ”

“ go back. there’s nothing good that can come from this. ”

“ do you just not believe me? ”

“ what can i say to convince you? ”

“ can you do that for me? ”

“ perhaps you finally see what i’m talking about. ”

“ my god… is this really how much you dislike me? ”

“ you are literally willing to kill yourself to keep me from being happy? ”

“ am i reading the situation correctly? ”

“ maybe you’re just getting a kick out of it. i don’t know anymore. ”

“ i just wanted us to get along. i guess that was too much to ask. ”

“ is it over? ”

I like to tell myself that, because of the increasing presence of arcana machina in Veric’s world, it probably wouldn’t take him long to adjust to most kinds of modern technology (various modes of transportation, phones/tablets to some degree, elevators/escalators, etc) but the concept of modern television would legitimately stump him. Giant devices you can project information onto and you use it to... watch three hours of a fictional story that tells you nothing of importance??

Solar System- Lucia Hartini; 2013

As I’ll be spotty here while working, mutuals can feel free to hit me up on either~

I’m currently stuck between “let a grumpy wizard snark affectionately at you” and “let a god fawn disbelievingly at the brightness of your mortal soul”

Tonight really is a Wit.cher vampire verse kinda night?

I said that early hours would be my time for loveposting but no. Actually I think I DO want to talk in broad daylight about how ridiculously touchy Veric can be sometimes when he’s in love with a partner that doesn’t mind it

          ( Except, perhaps, the trespassing part. )

          “𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝛐𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝚰 𝐰𝐚𝐬–” No... no, actually, he clearly didn’t want to know. Uncertain eyes flickered back to the previous subject of his attention, lips twisting in disdain. It was a true internal conflict, debating if he was possessed of the mental fortitude to dare ask but his curiosity, it seemed, won over any hesitation. Under his breath, eyes drifting back to the man in question, “𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝛐𝐮 𝐠𝛐𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝛐 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞... 𝐭𝛐𝐩𝐢𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝛐𝐧𝐬 𝛐𝐟 𝐚 𝐰𝛐𝐦𝐚𝐧'𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝛐𝐦𝐲? 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭, 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞, 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐚𝐫𝐝? 𝚨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐧𝛐𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞?”

Ridiculously early in the morning will be my time for romance posting instead of NSFW posting here we go

Veric has a number of ways in which he tends to show his affection through letting people into his ‘spaces’ —he’s a private person in general, so coming into his home, or being told specific things about his life or past, sure. But... probably the biggest, I think, is when you see him without any kind of glamours, or makeup, or obscuring who or what he really is, in a sense.

Sure, appearance is kind of important in most mage societies and arcane scientists aren’t that different in the end, even though they like to believe they’re more about the pursuit of knowledge than anything so superficial. But for Veric specifically, it’s because... he’s known for the image of strength he presents, and how frail and lifeless he can look at times when he’s overexerted himself and not using glamours to obscure it can be a startling contrast. His skin goes pale, he looks sickly, even his hair and eyes lose their luster and he gets a little more sluggish, a little more irritable than he already was (sounds hard to do, I know lol) not to mention he usually doesn’t wear his prostheses just because it takes less energy to simply use his wheelchair when he’s feeling that way, since he won’t be leaving his home in that state.

So if he willingly allows you to see him that way? I don’t think there’s a more grand show of trust from him, if I’m honest. He doesn’t like being vulnerable when it can be helped, so many of his formative years were spent learning to hide any and all signs of weakness so that he can survive.

❝ If you don’t want to be destroyed completely, I suggest you turn tail and flee. ❞

❝ I have never imagined such a day would come to pass. ❞

❝ I am very sorry, but that is not something to joke about. ❞

❝ You are trying to anger me, is that it? ❞

❝ You are a monster. The lowliest beast I have ever known. ❞

❝ Why… Why are you here? ❞

❝ I will crush anyone who blocks my path. ❞

❝ If they’re going to stand in our way, they must die. ❞

This has been on my mind for long but I’m gonna do this - please reblog this if you’re comfortable with pre-establishing relationships. I do not mean “met at the grocery store two weeks ago” or “have a common friend”, but rather stuff like “have been best friends since kindergrden”, “go for a beer every friday”, “friends with benefits”, “dated in highschool”, “hate each other’s guts because -insert reason-”  etc. Something meaningful (but not necessarily shippy) and I mean with muns/characters you have not interacted with, because I cannot believe I am the only one who prefers jumping right into the heart of the human interaction.

Tonight seems like something of a sneepy night, so I’ll probably just be lurking on disco and wire for moots and chilling for the rest of it, but I’ll maybe queue up some memes and be here tomorrow around whatever hours I end up working!

I’m sorry y’all I am thoroughly distracted by designing Veric’s common spaces in Dungeon Alchemist

@celestieu​ : " admittedly . . . it is a strange concept to me. to not be innately in tune with the arcane. when i tire myself, i feel so empty. so to think of existing entirely without that connection is very odd to me. yet many people thrive like that! they live, they succeed, at times their fingertips graze the same magic that flows in my blood. there must be some innate sensitivity there, then, right? to harness it through other means?

          Hands kept tempo in their busy work, combing with deft precision through innumerable slips and curls of parchment. The spectacles hung low over the bridge of his nose, threatening to slip away with every twist of his lips in dissatisfaction the longer his efforts went unrewarded. “𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐲.

Carefully, purposefully, blank.

I’ll be reblogging this periodically, like a number of the calls I post, but please like this if you’d like me to come harass you @ you in IMs for plotting! Where I can go over the verses I have (both already on the blog and unofficial/unlisted ones) and we can figure out how best to interact for some full-fledged threads 😌

𝐆𝐔𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄: 𝐃𝐎𝐌𝐍𝐎𝐒, 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐑 𝐎𝐅 𝐄𝐔𝐏𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐘

Though indistinguishable to most from an average human, Veric is but a splinter of the soul of Domnos, the youngest of the Enlightened. None of the Enlightened have ever appeared in the mortal realm including Domnos, however the figure painted by the numerous stories bearing his visage is, surprisingly, not very far off from the god’s true character.

Compared to his siblings, Domnos is a sociable and curious sort who often seeks to expand his horizons far beyond the sciences he governs, much to the chagrin of his brothers and sister. His forays into the mortal world are but a recent development and, outside of an intimate knowledge with many areas of magic both within and outside of arcane science, even interacting with mortals is still a fresh experience he has yet to adjust to. At times he can be astoundingly ignorant of social propriety on the most basic of levels, and is known as well to be quite fickle in a number of ways, but his interest in the humans and their world is near-limitless—even the most mundane things are capable of catching his attention, if not for long.

As one who created the arts of attunement and artifice, Domnos is exceptionally skilled in both arts and creates for himself a number of vessels, from those meant to serve as familiars and companions to mortal-passing bodies for he himself to occupy, if only in part. His true body, suspended in a realm beyond the mortal world just as his siblings are, is far too large and cumbersome to navigate planets in person, on top of appearing highly alien and strange to the eyes of mortals; despite this, the vessels he possesses are all but impossible to distinguish from those of an average mortal, in spite of their more ethereal properties. While his appearance is alterable down to the atom, most often Domnos takes the appearance of a dark-skinned young man, tall and well-built, framed by opalescent curls and observing the world through bright, golden eyes, not unusual features for a mortal mage on their own.

Just as Veric is capable of assuming control of vessels scattered across various worlds and planes through the use of metaphora, Domnos too is capable of exploring a number of universes at will, albeit with a greater degree of control and intent in choosing where and when he appears.
