@blckandbruises​.   “let me take care of you, for once.”

‘   well, i wouldn’t have to take care of you so often if you weren’t so reckless.   ’   faux irritation smothered over the pained tone of ren’s voice, underlying pant and wheeze lining snarky remark. there was a gash up their leg, and they weren’t quite sure yet if it tore through a tendon. their semblance, their mental morphine, meant specifically to numb the pain was in effect and for all intents and purposes, most likely making the situation worse. ren couldn’t tell what putting weight on the would would do, but they was sure it wasn’t good. this was awful, they would be detrimental to the success of the mission in this state. the targeted mutant beowolf was already out of sight. ren grit their teeth and tried to focus more of their aura on the wound, pulling from a well that was already running dry.   ‘   i can defend myself until the backup arrives, you need to make sure the beowolf doesn’t reach it’s target.   ’   the dragon reached up from where crouched to grip cobalt’s wrist, expression stern.   ‘   cobalt, i’ll be fine.   ’

caring for stubborn muses.   (   not acc.   )

❛❛ C’mere. Lean on me. ❜❜

soft & caring

she tried her best to hide how exhausted she truly was and most of the time she could get away with it. but cobalt had an easier time than others seeing when she was simply pretending to be alright. sometimes she disliked it, especially when he pushed for her to rest rather than continue seeing to things that needed to be done, but for tonight she was okay with it. sitting down beside him she rested against him, head coming to rest on his shoulder, tension visibly leaving her form if only a little. hand found his and fingers laced with his own, giving a light squeeze to his hand.

There's nothing he can do but gaze. She tosses her hair, twirls on her heels as she looks over the outfit. He doesn't stop staring at her, just drinking in how gorgeous his wife is as he leans in the doorway behind her. They have places to be, sure...but surely he can watch her dress again. Or help her get undressed...

sometimes it was fun to just model the clothes she had now. for so much of her life it’d been rags and fabric stitched together to resemble clothing and then no say at all in what she wore, each piece picked and approved for her by marcus. it had been years now since those times but she still sometimes caught herself amazed by the fact that she could choose whatever she wanted. this was the fourth so far that she’d given a try and while a large part of her said that yes this was the one she wanted to go with she caught sight in the mirror of cobalt looking at her. 

“ what you think ? i gonna get your stamp of approval on this one ? “

question was posed as she looked at his reflection in the mirror’s glass rather than turning to look at him.

VII. The Chariot — Describe one of your muses coping mechanisms.

Coping mechanisms? She might not have one that does it consciously, Frost is not familiar with the damage she has suffered when it comes to her own psychology, believes she is completely okay... but her she can be conflictive with herself sometimes and that’s where her anger and self-destructive behavior come out. Perhaps hitting at things or screaming against her hands can be classified as coping mechanisms for her, since she lets out her frustrations and choleric behavior, but is not the healthiest thing to do, in fact, it wounds her soul even more.

17!!!!!

questions for the mun re: the muse. / always accepting.17) why do you think you connect to your muse?

          because i’m gay for her UH. i mean most of my muses that end up being long-term aren’t ones i actually decided on; they literally just show up one day and that’s it (two of my muses names just came to me with no research and stuck, etc). i’m not sure why she initially struck me, i guess for the same reason coco strikes everyone, good or bad, ic & ooc? she’s super confident and cool and just. doesn’t give a heck about anything except kicking butt & looking cute, which usually characters make you pick one or the other but. not coco. i’m also always drawn to ‘ cool girl ’ archetypes because i think there’s a lot to unpack there and i think they’re usually created as a quirky love interest for our protagonist, which is a shame (mostly male like scott pilgrim, but sometimes women, like in life is strange). sometimes that’s handled well, sometimes it’s handled badly, but even though coco’s just a tiny side character (at least until the book releases SQUEE) it’s nice to see a character that just sort of…exists on her own and handles her own business, without anyone else’s baggage except her own, ba dum tss. she’s a nice inversion of tropes (which i love), & also a giant fuck you to her real life n*zi counterpart (which i also really love)

      when i started writing coco, i just saw a character that i got to explore on my own terms, without much canon pressure / ships / etc, and who i wouldn’t run into much duplicate anxiety with (though the joke’s on me now, because i love duplicates and don’t even have anxiety abt it anymore adfasfasfs). i came from writing a much darker, much meaner oc into starting up coco’s blog, so i wanted to switch it up to a canon character, and writing a spunky gal like coco in the rwby rpc (which believe it or not used to be SUPER not serious lol) was the nice antithesis to that. she’s also helped me cope with a lot of bad things in my life, because if coco can handle it, then so can i ! i honestly think she’s one of those muses that i’ll never get rid of, since she’s just so strong and so much love has gone into portraying her and her life. so yeah. i love my babey girl

He sighs, leaning back on the couch. For a man who doesn’t drink for stress often, he’s surely tempted. He punches his eyebrow, a long groan on his lips. “I want a do-over of today, babe.” He looks up at her and blinks. “Why’re you putting your hair up?”

kahili knew what worked well enough for her own stress, generally a mixture of drinking and maybe a fight here and there if there was some really bad aggression she needed to work out. she also knew, from the years they’d now been together, how to help her loving husband with his own stress. she didn’t need any provocations or even to be asked. she finished tying her hair back into a ponytail, strands of hair still falling to frame her face- her hair would be back down eventually, when cobalt decided he wanted to run his fingers through it or grip it a certain way.

“ just don’t want it gettin’ in my way. “

a simple reply given as she sauntered over to where he sat on the couch, leaning down and kissing him before he had a chance to ask any further questions. lips moved from his down his jaw and to his neck, kissing and biting as her hands worked to undo his belt and pull his zipper down. a final bite given to his neck before she kneeled down before him, placing herself squarely between his legs, pulling his length free and almost immediately kissing its tip.

” i can’t give you a re-do of today, but i can make tonight better. “

a signature mischievous grin found its place upon her lips as she kept her eyes locked with his, watching his features as she pressed kisses down the side of his cock before running her tongue back up it, hand expertly working his shaft before taking him into her mouth, moaning around him when she reached his base. she held herself there for a moment before pulling back, lipstick smearing around his cock as she released his tip with an audible “ pop “ only to take him back in almost immediately.

‘   ah mean,   yeah   —   what aspirin’ research student hasn’t ‘eard ‘bout dr. watts   ?   ’   she very much looked the part of an atlesian scientist, garbed in pristine lab coat fluttering about in winter wind. what marred proper appearance was the green hoodie keeping snow from her eyes, the sneakers making tracks along mantle streets. cammie hadn’t expected to be engaged with about a former idol.   ‘   watts is right up there with merlot in terms of revolutionary genius   —   jus’ a shame abou’ the entire   ...   y’know,   “ disgraced ”   bit.   ’   @blckandbruises   /   sc.

what was a childhood possession ren treasured the most?

                                                 @blckandbruises​   :   prompted.

ren had an eastern dragon plush toy that looked similar to the one below. it was a first birthday gift from @talefates​‘s ghira, who was best friends with ren’s father in haven. it actually survived the fire, but ren has never gone inside their old house again.

if we’re talking post kuroyuri, then ren’s most prized childhood possession is the kaiken knife given to them by their father. they also have a red thread bracelet made by their mother, which i’ve drawn in numerous pictures of them.

@blckandbruises​:  “The guest list includes everybody I could think of who might want me dead.”  ／ altered carbon.

                    ❛    do you plan on killing them all or befriending them ?    ❜

she`s not one to really judge him for what he has done as she`d do the same thing , but if his reason for doing this is to have her kill them all then she`d like to be paid in advance . her fee is rather pricey , and if there`s more than a handful then it`ll be double . so , sarah would rather they do their dirty work and she just stand back and watch . it makes things easier for her , and it would make dinner rather interesting for once .

He’s enthralled by her music. All he can do is watch with the stars radiant in his eyes. “You’re so amazing,” he sighs, meaning it from the heart. His wife really is incredible.

it was rare that nerissa listened to her old songs ; too often the only thing hearing them brought her was pain and sadness and a sort of despisement towards her younger self. back then she had been so sure of herself and so arrogant, thinking that she was so clever for finding some sort of way out of the mold that’d been crafted for her from even before her birth. she had held no real desire for the spotlight or to be famous ; those things and the attention that came with them were just bonuses for a girl too young and naive to realize that whatever praise was heaped upon her was merely to endear the ones giving it to her towards her and in turn her parents. all she had truly desired, now that she had the chance to look back upon her motivations, was the freedom to make her own choices and be her own person. and for a brief while that freedom was hers, but she had paid a high price for the small taste she was able to gain. most days she wondered if it really had been at all worth it, if she wouldn’t have been better off just doing as she was told and keeping her voice to herself, sung only for herself and no one else to hear. how much pain and trouble might that have saved herself and her family ? 

cobalt’s voice broke her reverie, pulled her mind ever so slightly from the edge of the chasm of self-loathing and disdain she held for herself, for that stupidly naive little girl she had once been.

” you mean was. “

radio was then turned off, hand resting upon it for a moment before pulling back from the device. how could someone like her be considered amazing as she was now ?

“Officer, this is my emotional support wife.”

“ yeah, i don’t think that’s gonna stop the cops from arrestin’ me. “

“Don’t let the bastards grind you down.”

some meme i lost @blckandbruises.

“ YEAH, SO I’M   trying not to, but — ” the blonde paused to sigh, shaking her head and rolling her eyes at cobalt.  “ it doesn’t help when ‘ the bastards ’ are your ex best friend, y’know?  she’s so adamant about tearing me down! ”  thoughts of catra fluttered through her head as adora yelled about her in a fit of frustration.  everything she did only seemed to make the situation worse with her ( trying to talk her into coming with her, explaining herself, attempting to remedy the situation ).  “ what do you do when you know you can’t give up? ”
