#Thread: Valentine

[radicalrascals]

Unwilling to let Isabella go, Rafael leaned in to steal a kiss from her lips and another and one more for good measure, before he could no longer reach her from where he sat on the blanket. Pleading eyes looked up to her, and the impish smile nesting in the corners of his mouth were a silent promise that once she returned he had a million more kisses for her. Though for now words would have to suffice: "I love you too, querida."

And how much he loved her! He let himself fall back onto the blanket, big grin on his face. Life was beautiful. And that alone should've been a warning. Nothing was ever as perfect as this. Not for long.

He startled into a sitting position when he felt the long shadow of someone else fall onto his face. Isabella's voice was too far away for it to be her, and though her words drowned in the wind, their urgency translated well. He managed to get on his feet before the other closed in, but the moment he turned around he felt a sharp, searing pain in his abdomen. He wanted to scream, but he could barely get enough air into his lungs. He stumbled, staggered, as the knife was pulled out. The second thrust elicited a whimper. The third committed him into gravity's harsh embrace. He fell back onto the blanket. The mind loud with questions.

He brought his trembling hands to cover his wounds, feeling nothing but the warmth of his own blood against his palms. Around him the world was fleeing his perception, leaving him in a darkness that was closing up from all sides. "Be... lla...?" Was she safe? Was she there? A cold panic washed over him. Oh god, to see here just one last time!

Closed painful starter for @radicalrascals

It was a beautiful day and that was why they had chosen to head out to the park. Packing up a picnic, Isabella had prepared everything for them to have the perfect time together, a date of sorts that they didn't always get to experience due to their busy lives. Their little angel was with Isabella's brother for the day, allowing them to have some peace that was well deserved. Having found a spot atop a hill, far enough away from anyone else, they had sat with their food and drinks with the warm sun beaming down upon them, hands linked and Isabella's head resting on Rafa's shoulder.

"I love you, vida mía." Isabella whispered, smiling softly as she looked up to meet his gaze, brushing her lips across his. "But I need to get rid of this trash before I get too comfortable." She motioned to the empty containers and tissues that they had used and quickly gathered them up. "I'll be right back." She slowly got to her feet, smiling down at her love for a moment before walking away, heading down to the base of the hill to the bin. They had the whole rest of the afternoon together before they would have to collect Alicia from her brothers, so she intended to ensure that they made the most of this time.

But that was not to be, as it seemed the universe had other ideas. As Isabella turned to walk back to her husband, she spotted a hooded figure approaching him from behind, face hidden and a large item in their hand that looked sickening like a blade.

"Rafa! Rafa, olhe!" She began to sprint up the hill towards him, desperate to get there.

oh shit, mind games is happening!

i'd heard about this way back and thought it seemed really ambitious. from the mod page

Mind Games is an upcoming quest mod for Fallout 4. Take on a new detective case with Nick Valentine, where you find yourself entangled amongst various factions vying for control over the sewers and tunnels beneath Boston, while facing the consequences of the search for your son - everything from Skinny Malone to Jenny / K1-98, from the Institute's machinations to Kellogg's lingering presence. Meet new characters, make tough choices, spend more time with your companions, and explore new locations.

i've only skimmed the video since i want to play it myself, but i went checking to see if there was any ai used for the voices (in which case i would not be playing it)

The thread that connected us grew thinner with lies and disrespect. You didn’t even try to untangle the knot of misunderstanding—instead, you kept tangling the strands I was trying so hard to unravel. Now, as the threads are split apart, and the pain of longing pierces me like a needle🧵🪡.

Don't forget to keep your Valentine save~💖!!

Don't let them eat glass or something crazy of the sorts ;)

It's Valentines Day season (first of February) so I whipped together some of the classic; Soulmate, Red String of Fate AU doodles of my dumbass boys.

And it's going well, just as you'd expect from Poor Edward and Sawyer.

And the funniest part of this that I've thought of, was the idea of their first "Business meeting" just them electing to IGNORE the entire red string thing because that just makes things So much more awkward, right? You're just trying to threaten a thief to leave your bosses work alone, and it's just So hard to explain you're gonna bury him alive if he continues. What a hassle. So consider it a relief on Ed's part when Sawyer Wholeheartedly Agrees to ignore that teeny tiny problem.

And then the moon-milk happens. And now Edward went Back on that little arrangement and went "Actually No < 3" and Sawyer is. Doing fine.

(warning for blood and probably disturbing content below the cut)

Oh so fine.

Loved the idea of the threat of fate bleeding when you try and remove/damage it as it is neigh indestructible. Like that scene from Hercules with the fates trying to cut the thread, "THE SCISSORS WONT CUT"

I don't think it hurts when trying to severe it, but wouldn't that be something

Oh, he loved it when they put up a fight. But what Valentine loved even more was when they feared him. "You're a feisty one, innit?," he fell back into his default Lancashire accent. It felt mundane, so very human, unfit for an immortal. After all, his victim should find solace in the delusion he could escape him, before he would reveal himself for what he truly was; a vampire, a monster, a nightmare.

"I thought you might be the intelligent one of the bunch, but you're just as easily fooled as your brothers," Valentine taunted, letting himself fall to his knees and bringing Theo down with him, arm still around the detective's neck and squeezing too tight for comfort. He hissed at the hand in his face and craned his neck to avoid the fingernails scratching him. And eventually he let go of Theo, though only to grab him by the shoulders and turning him around, pinning him down with his weight and the supernatural unnatural strength he possessed.

"Congratulations; You made it a lot harder for me to find you, than your brothers, Detective 'Matos'," a cackle interrupted his taunting speech, "But in the end you're just as susceptible to deception as your twin. Although... perhaps I do have some answers for you after all. You only need to ask the right questions."

Dire Situations @radicalrascals said: "you’re only making this worse for yourself" (Valentine to Theo; because reasons)

Theo had no intention of listening to his brother, no intention of stopping or trusting anyone's word on the matter. Something was going on, something that was tearing their family apart, and he needed to know. He would not be the one kept hidden from the truth. Especially not if the truth could put Felix in danger too. So he took off on his latest lead, finding himself deep in a tunnel beneath the city where an anonymous tip had sent him. Someone who had witnessed what happened to Rafael that afternoon and who gave him reason to believe that evidence had been stashed beneath.

Entering the dimly lit area, he reached into his pocket in order to find his flashlight, however it fell from his hands when he felt someone grab him from behind, a strong arm wrapped around his throat. If he had the time to think on it, perhaps he would have thought on how likely Nick would be to say 'I told you so' when he got back, but all he could think about was trying to find a way to get the arm from around his neck so that he could breathe. His nails clawed at the stranger's sleeve, feet kicking out as he heard the words growled into his ear. The voice sounded vaguely familiar, like he had heard it somewhere before. The voice that had been barely audible down Nick's phone while they were in the hospital by Rafa's bedside... In a last ditch attempt to free himself, Theo reached over and grabbed at the stranger's face, fingers seeking out anything that would find a weakness to release him.

valentin was good at this. the afterparties, the small talk, the easy charm. he could glide through these rooms without missing a beat, all smiles and smooth answers, never letting anyone see more than he wanted to show. it was part of the job, really. fame came with a set of rules, and he had mastered them. keep it light, keep it fun, and above all—keep it distant. but then he saw her. he didn’t expect her to be here, not tonight. Not at this kind of party. he should’ve looked away. walked in the opposite direction, found someone else to charm, someone who wasn’t as quick to see through his act. but he didn’t. instead, he found himself drifting toward her, glass in hand, slipping into that familiar, easy rhythm without thinking. it was like muscle memory at this point — the way their conversations played out, the teasing, the banter. he almost enjoyed it, the way she always gave as good as she got, never backing down. " look at what the cat dragged in," the male male teased, " i didn't know you'd be here tonight. " / @obsesionadas .

ummm actually i know i said i was going to bed in the tags of my last post but. i think my approach to religion (specifically catholicism and the way it exists in my head) will always be in the aspect of like. was going to call it a story but i think the better term is a text. obviously there are rules and tenets and expectations set out by the religion but all of this is done by extrapolating that information through analysis of the literature. and taking greater meanings and examining authorial intent is only part of it, because if it's a story, that means that it has characters, that it has a narrative, that it exists in the context of how we tell stories and it has a universe within it that operates on the rules established by the story. so the figures in the bible are both figureheads for the concepts that they represent and also characters of their own right, ones that you can examine the motives of. and none of this necessarily means that you believe in satan as like. an Actual Guy who is out there doing things. but you can engage both with the theological concept of him as a representation of all the evils presented by the church and also with the character that is present within the story. multiple aspects of the text. literary analysis from multiple perspectives. i don't even know what i'm saying anymore this made more sense in my head tbh
