Hey Queen, do you take prompts? 🙏

If so .... I just realized there are not that many fics where obikin is, well, already together and they've overcome everything and they are more in love than ever and that's when the problems start.... just a snippet would make my whole year ....

If not .... Please ignore this 😄

I'm happy to write this for you! i wrecked my brain over how best to approach this, and i think modern au would serve this idea best, what do you say?

how about a power couple au? Anakin and Obi-Wan are the golden couple—beloved, scandal-free, and impossibly hot together. Anakin’s a popular actor, and Obi-Wan is a rising political figure. The problem is ....

Optics (1.2k words)

(Snippet idea: Obi-Wan pulls Anakin into a secluded area during a fundraiser, all sharp angles and clipped fury.)

Obi-Wan has been standing in the same spot for seventeen minutes.

He knows because he checked his watch at the start of Padmé’s speech and then made the mistake of watching Anakin the entire time. Anakin—who is doing nothing but parading his bare clavicles around with his half-open shirt. Anakin—who is laughing too easily, tossing his hair like a shampoo commercial, drinking champagne like he doesn’t know every camera in the room is tracking his throat.

Padmé says something charming, and Anakin practically purrs. He touches her arm. Smiles that goddamn movie star smile. And Padmé—his long-time colleague, his friend—laughs politely and looks right past Obi-Wan, like she hasn’t noticed the slow-brewing storm gathering at the edge of the ballroom.

He clenches his jaw and takes another sip of his drink. It’s sparkling water. It does nothing to help.

They’d agreed—agreed—to keep things low-key. Not secret. Just... careful. The media had been brutal the last time Anakin so much as brushed Obi-Wan’s wrist in public. And Obi-Wan is trying. He’s trying to do the right thing, the smart thing. The boring, senator thing.

But Anakin has never done anything quietly in his life.

The minute the speeches end and applause bursts through the room like a wave of artifice, Obi-Wan moves. Smoothly. Purposefully. Like someone with a plan, though he doesn’t have one. Not really.

He approaches Padmé and Anakin, nodding politely to her, and then—without breaking stride—wraps his fingers around Anakin’s wrist and says, “We need a word.”

Anakin looks so pleased with himself. “Now, Obi-Wan? People will think we’re sneaking off to—”

“Now.”

Padmé smirks. “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.”

“Unlikely,” Obi-Wan says, dragging Anakin with him into the crowd.

They move quickly—through the glittering maze of bodies, past fundraisers and donors and interns with too many opinions—until they find a side hall, quiet and velvet-draped. A sign nearby says ARCHIVES: STAFF ONLY.

Obi-Wan doesn’t care. He pushes the door open, shoves Anakin inside, and lets it click shut behind them.

The silence hits like a slap.

Anakin leans against a dusty display case and raises an eyebrow. “So. Closet rendezvous. How bold of you, Senator.”

Obi-Wan turns on him. “Do you enjoy humiliating me?”

Anakin’s smile doesn’t falter, but something in his eyes sharpens. “Depends. Which part humiliated you? The part where I existed? Or the part where I dared to speak to another human being?”

“You were flirting.”

“She was nice to me. And I was bored. Your crowd sucks.”

Obi-Wan steps closer. His whole body feels like it’s vibrating with too many emotions shoved into a suit. “You know what it looks like when you do that.”

“I do. And so do you.” Anakin tilts his head. “That’s why you’re here, isn’t it? Because I looked too happy with someone who wasn’t you.”

“That’s not fair.”

“No, what’s not fair is pretending I don’t mean anything to you when it suits your campaign. What’s not fair is—”

Obi-Wan kisses him.

Not gently. Not sweetly. Not the kind of kiss you give someone when you're trying to keep things professional. It’s the kind you give when you're done pretending you don’t ache.

Anakin makes a startled sound, then melts into it with a smug little hum that says finally.

When Obi-Wan pulls back, he’s breathing hard.

“I was going to wait,” he says.

Anakin blinks. “Wait for what?”

Obi-Wan exhales like the words might knock him over. “To propose.”

Anakin’s eyes widen, just a little. “You—what?”

“I had a whole plan. Private. On the coast. After the election.”

“Oh.”

“I had a ring made.”

“Oh,” Anakin says again, a bit less smug now.

“But if you’re going to stand there and smile at every person in the room like they could love you half as much as I do—” He grabs Anakin’s hand and presses it to his chest. “Then I don’t see the point in waiting.”

For a second, Anakin doesn’t say anything.

Then: “You didn’t bring the ring?”

“I didn’t expect to be ambushed by your peacocking tonight, no.”

Anakin grins, wicked and soft all at once. “Good. Because I’m going to want to pick mine out. Something flashy. Huge. Inappropriate.”

“I regret everything.”

“No, you don’t.” Anakin pulls him closer by the lapel. “Say it again.”

Obi-Wan swallows. “I want to marry you.”

“See?” Anakin’s voice is warm now, the tease gone. “That wasn’t so hard.”

“You’re impossible.”

“And you love me.”

“I do.”

Anakin beams like he’s won something. Maybe he has.

Oh gods a thought just came to me.

I see all the time that Astarion would love a virgin Tav but WHAT IF. What if Tav was a virgin when they had sex that first time after the tiefling/goblin party. Astarion didn't ask, Tav didn't tell and explains away the blood from her first time as starting her period, and Astarion was so half-in/half-out when it happened because of the trauma that he didn't think much of it and let it slide. But later on in his attempts to keep things light between the two of them (as he secretly falls for her but is in astronomical denial), he makes a comment about their coupling being "nothing Too special, of course" and Tav tries to play off her hurt like, "Oh well I haven't had any practice so it's not too surprising that I'm no good," or "sorry you had to be my first go at it" or something like that and Astarion's dead ass heart just DROPS into his asshole because oh my God that was her first time and I was lying to her the whole time and just hurt her terribly. What the fuck am I gonna do now??

So yeah, just some thoughts. ~ 🥀

He's devastated. He's an asshole. He's supposed to tell her the truth of what he's been up to, but how can he now? It looks even worse.

He knows he has to though and Tav is full of surprises. He wants to talk about it immediately but she puts him off, there's a lot they'll have to see to after they handle the tadpole problem.

Once they have time Astarion apologizes over and over for making Tav feel like her first lover was making fun of her. She's forgiving, like she always is, a forgiveness that shames him more somehow.

Then she smiles mischeviously and says, "don't worry, you make it up to me with a technique demonstration."

☆ What are some the perks with the fandom you’re currently in? ♦ How has roleplaying on Tumblr improved since you started out?

casually sweet munday meme

☆ What are some the perks with the fandom you’re currently in?

I'm glad it's slowly coming back to life from embers. And I'm glad it kind of burnt down with all the drama. It's just a fun hobby, it shouldn't be reason to vague, snark and be mean to other real people on behalf of imaginary ones. I'm real happy to see new and coming back people. Let's be silly about our faves and have fun <3

♦ How has roleplaying on Tumblr improved since you started out?

Mine surely did, especially when it comes to using English. Seems more people think about accessibility over aesthetics, which is super nice. Otherwise? I don't know. It seems more people are just chilling and open, less competitive approach (even some followers did this? Comparing people's headcanons and sending nasty anons?? It was crazy... It's a hobby, not a contest!). It seems a bit more relax and healthier ^^

 “What would you do if...Dartz corrupted you or someone close to you :3c ?

"In the first case, fight it as hard as I could. In the second, I wouldn't rest until I freed them from his influence. I already fought similar battles a couple of times, and was successful. I can do it again. I don't give up on my friends and family."

Hey Boss

Fic Ask: TALW

5: What part was hardest to write?

13: What music did you listen to, if any, to get in the mood for writing this story? Or if you didn’t listen to anything, what do you think readers should listen to to accompany us while reading?

-Eris

Hi and thanks for asking, my girl! 5: Personally, it isn't a particular part, but rather just a specific type of scene, which I like referring to as downtime. Downtime is essentially unavoidable filler. The kind of scenes you need to keep a story cohesive and make it feel less like a random compilation of huge scenes and more like an actual narrative. It's basically required for any sort of tension to build in between certain scenes and, like I said, it's basically the connecting sinew of the narrative. Despite this, I find it very hard to get through these kinds of scenes and I tend to procrastinate quite frequently when I get to moments of downtime in TALW. That combined with the fact that my writing in general is kind of wordy explains why it takes so long to update... 13: Oh boi...I have a lot of music that I listen to, both in general and for specific scenes. I tend to listen to a mixture of Metalcore, FNAF Fan Songs, some select songs off of the Subdigitals Album, and in general various kinds of soundtracks. I want to evoke a ton of different emotions with TALW, like a lot of my writing, so I tend to try to listen to a variety of songs to color my scenes different tonal colors. Who knows, I might release a playlist containing all of my songs someday...Depends on the demand.

did you see what Ons said in her documentary about the Wimbledon final?

like this is heartbreaking to me

I did see this. you're right about it being heartbreaking, Ons had such a tough year last year and I really, really hope she can achieve whatever will make her the happiest

RE: Headless woman art. The retail chain Primark has a bunch of headless and armless women candles. The white candle women have normal (albeit idealized) body proportions. The dark brown candle women have gigantic hips and buttocks that are about 4 times the size of the waist. (I'll try to get a pic if they still have them next time I'm in)

Please do, love - I was only (‘only’) able to find the below on their website.

Essential additional context for non-Brits - Primark is the absolute lowest of the low in terms of fast fashion, which means these items were almost certainly made in sweatshop conditions, by underpaid/unpaid employees, who are likely to be women. Think Shein without the shipping delays. So many layers underlying the surface objectification.

I find the diffuser particularly unsettling. I’ve never looked at a woman and thought she’d be improved with the removal of her limbs and head, and the addition of sticks jutting from her truncated neck. Yuck.

🍒 + toxitrosia

send  me  🍒  +  a  url  and  i  will  write  some  positivity  for  them.

@toxitrosia

STARLETTE! One of the most sweetest people you'll ever meet! She is so sweet and so positive and so nice to everyone she deserves her own positivity. She is someone I'm really honored to call a friend. I remember finding her blog and, truthfully, feeling a slight bit intimidated like an idiot. Finally following was the best decision ever. Do you know how fun you are to talk to? Do you?! I appreciate you so much for listening to me when I was sad and struggling a bit here. It helped tremendously, and you better know if you ever need the same I will be here. You are so supportive of headcanons and the info I share about the silly spider and I'm still crying over the fact, still, that you want to mix lore with me. I am honored.

You have such interesting takes on Val, whether it be the canon version or your own verse interpretation of the moth. You analyzed him left and right. He's not just a one-note villain. I really find him interesting when you share your lore. Like who he actually feels close to, that he once genuinely loved Angel in his own twisted way. You don't excuse his behavior at all. You acknowledge it and add context to why you believe he does what he does. From one villain writer to another, keep doing what you're doing. I know sometimes the rpc may suck, but you're a good person with a good hurt just trying to explore this twisted moth. Without writers like you, things would be so boring. Not everything is rainbows and sunshine. Not all is condoned. And I support you 100% writing this guy!

Oh! We can't forget how well you write him. Did you like pull him out of the screen? The dialogue for him is so on point I forget I'm not watching the show. I also think you have a good take on his temperament levels. Regardless of how dark you go, you know what triggers him and how abrasive versus composed he'll be. When Val and Angel were arguing that one time Angel had drunk courage, it really showed me how much I was gonna love your take on Val. He sassed. He called Angel less than a ten ( I think ). He got the right amount of mad. He made Angel feel terrified. He was so in character. I actually gushed about you to my friends and recommended you. But I do adore your writing and I'm really excited to build more lore with you with Val and Angel and even build up more of a friendship.

P.S. very excited for the obscure BlitzxVal we have coming with all the angst and bittersweet~

"Aha! I knew you were hiding here!" A warm palm finds his shoulder and turns him around, "So how about it my eternal rival? Time for another match! I'll even let you choose the challenge because you lost last time."

"Hiding? I was merely enjoying the view."

He stated low and matter of fact, grey hue never altering from the movement and scents wafting up from the market district below. The vendors were as lively as ever, their mid-morning chatter whilst they unpacked their wares and goods, elevated by the first glimpse of sunlight after days of dreary rain.

Of course the positive change in weather would serve as a siren call to the green-clad Jōnin, much like the sun-baked tiles lured Kakashi out of his den. He continued to peer at the bustle in a half-lidded fashion, soaking up the warmth the roof of the kissaten had to offer in a vain attempt to completely disregard the other man's existence.

Gai didn't waver however, perhaps too used to Kakashi's long bouts of silence to be put off by them, as the warm palm anchoring him into place didn't retract or ease its weight, choosing instead to give Kakashi's slumped frame a few firm, encouraging shakes. Maa...maa, so much manhandling. There was no getting out of this one, it seems. With his moment of peace coming to an end, Kakashi finally relented with a tilt of his head and an exaggerated sigh.

"Rock, paper, scissors then? Best game out of three?"

but platonically cuz the age gap is beyond Real—

Are you Robin's type? | accepting

"You   truly   are   a   dashing   man.   Hehe.   I'm   looking   forward   to   our   next   visit!"

(Now I am thinking of a platonic dance between them and how wholesome it would be ..omg. )

Even tho I’ll never be able to see this irl I’m so glad this exists! My SAW fixation thanks you for the time and effort put into this production!!

We're so thrilled to hear this!

@godforbidrp asked: ❝ there are better hills to die on but i find this one quite comfortable. ❞ from ziggy to ziggy

ziggy leaned back into the comfortable chair, feeling rather euphoric after an epic argument about their favorite bands. she was far from feeling defeated, but it just felt like to have these sorts of conversations with someone that got it. it was a breath of fresh air and she was itching for a new one, but she decided not to overdo it just yet. " i'm in a good mood, so i'll give you this win. " she smiled, looking back at the clock, " ready to go on ? everything sounded great on my end. "

Pirate, wizard, and knight for the fantasy asks?

~Jasper

PIRATE - Pick one! Pirates or Royals?

No question: Pirate

WIZARD - Who is your favourite character in this WIP? Describe them!

The poor man who hasn't even shown up yet: Tam "Void" Voidcrest

All the Angst and Trauma went to him and yet he still found a way to get through it and fall in love. He also finds someway to be flirty/horny almost 95% of the time

(I'm most excited to get to his part in the book -sadly not till book 3 so I'm even MORE excited to get through book 2 now more than ever lol)

KNIGHT - Pick one! Forbidden Love or Enemies-to-Lovers?

Enemies to Lovers simply because it's way more fun to watch people who want to kill each other finally realize why they don't want to anymore.

I forgot to add Naomi-010 to Round 2 like I said I was going to yesterday, but better late than never.

Fly Me to the Moon is a song Naomi-010 associates with your relationship, and it's all because you sang it one time for a bet from one of your squad mates during some shore leave. You apologized to everyone who had to hear you as you went up to the karaoke machine, shot her a wink, and then proceeded to casually be the best singer of the night. Her face was so red that she was thankful for the helmet.

Y’know I wasn’t expecting anything today but I’m grateful.

After this, Naomi is always excited to hear her partner sing, it’s not often that you do but she’ll sprint across the ship if she catches word that you’re singing. If Fly Me to the Moon is ever playing, she’s humming to herself quietly, it’s the one song that she can’t stop herself with.

Naomi might have a secret recording of that night of her partner singing. When she’s been away longer than normal or is feeling lonely, she’ll pull it up and play it.
