The Warleggan Ball by flipperbrain-awakes

Ross leans against a wall in the large room and contemplates the tumbler of brandy in his hand. George does not skimp, this amber liquid is quite good. Ross is well acquainted with fine brandy, risking much himself to import the best available through less than legal means. He scans the room, it is between dances and most of the guests are clustered together in groups, engaged in flattery and idle conversation. He had quarreled with his wife an hour ago, he knew his surly attitude and lack of attention had angered Demelza, and he could certainly understand why. Yet at that moment he was incapable of bending, of admitting he was wrong. And rather than making it up with her, he continued playing cards. His grief and outrage over the disgusting treatment of his friend Jim Carter, which ultimately led to his untimely death, had rendered him powerless to rise above his mood. But by God, Demelza is the last person to deserve the sharp-edge of his ire, and now he feels incredibly ashamed at his behavior. 

He watches his wife chatting merrily with several solicitous gentlemen across the ballroom, without a doubt she has many would-be suitors were her husband not standing in the way. She glances at him, her eyes still flashing with annoyance and hurt, she is ravishing and haughty and so very tempting. Demelza is wearing a new gown, its fabric selected particularly for this occasion. It is the color of Spring and covered with delicate leaves and stems. Her décolletage is framed with the tiniest diaphanous ruffle which projects the opposite of demure, rather than disguising, it accentuates her bust and she is fully aware of its effect. 

Ross has had enough drink this night, he sets his glass aside and walks over to speak quietly with the leader of the small orchestra assembled in the southern corner of the room, a few coins are discreetly handed over. While likely the poorest of manners to divert the musical program toward his personal goals, he cares not and strides determinedly toward Demelza. She sees him coming and her brows gather in anticipation of protest but Ross does not give her an opportunity to refuse. He takes her by the hand and leads her to the center of the dance floor. Demelza initially resists his embrace, she is still put-out and a little embarrassed by their earlier exchange… but then she turns her head and looks into his eyes and her anger melts away, he can be damnable at times but his feelings for her are written on his face. 

Ross takes her in his arms as the music strikes up and begins to dance a dance that he has only seen once before, he holds his beautiful wife, his hand sitting familiarly at her waist, and leads her in The Walse. The steps are not truly known to him but he believes he can manage a fair representation, he has some skill at dancing though rarely used. The onlookers at the time he first witnessed this exercise were scandalized by the closeness of its participants, and from the expressions on many a face, they are once again. He grins inwardly at this but Demelza’s visage, her fine features gazing up at him, he is nearly overcome with desire. She is his complete focus, the only thing in this world that truly matters. That he could act an idiot and lose sight of that, well, he is an imperfect man.

They are a vision to behold on the ballroom floor, Ross expertly guiding in his version of this dance, Demelza following his lead like a woman who has been trained in this since girlhood. Their bodies move together instinctually as one, gracefully drifting and turning and whirling together. All eyes are upon them, but theirs are only for each other.

part 8 of season 3, episode 12 “original sin” continued

68. ok so I get we have gone over this infinity and beyond but note how Magnus is saying he hasn’t been sleeping 😭 Alec is allowed to live in his dreams because he has eternity to spend with Magnus but COME THE FUCK ON!!!!!! but I also love how this isn’t all super serious because Malec can have fun and have their moments without needing to be serious all the time. but also also also maybe Alec is trying to give him some space and not be overbearing. just some thoughts (gif by knightofsteles)

69. this was part of the last one of Alec pulling Magnus closer. MY RELIGION 🥰

70. okay maybe it’s not serious and maybe they didn’t want to have a heavy Malec scene since they added it later. and maybe not everything has to be dissected but you’re telling me that Magnus says he hasn’t been sleeping and Alec doesn’t raise an eye????? or maybe I’m reading too much into this and Alec knows Magnus so well and knows that Magnus either doesn’t want to talk about the whole thing or isn’t ready. but part of me wishes Alec would’ve said something. just a small thing

in 2x01, alec was going through a thing you’ll see often called this is lazy and shit writing syndrome so when Magnus said “I’m a lot” alec didn’t deny the claim. but I just want maybe a tiny little small comment of alec saying something about Magnus not able to sleep. or to see Alec doing something small to help Magnus sleep through the night. AM I EVEN BEING COHERENT. but maybe the training scene is Alec’s way of going along with the flow because magnus distracts himself with stuff so maybe alec is just waiting for magnus to talk about it

ok sorry I’m being annoying I’ll be quiet about it

71. that’s the difference between cocky smug Alec vs grumpy Alec. my man didn’t see his future self being denied yet another kiss (gif by anthony-kate)

72. SAME VIBES

73. I’m sorry that this version of Alec lives rent free in my head (gif by phantom-evil)

74. only because I do not know which scene is next and I’m pretty sure we are done with the morning routine scene because how many more parts can I gush over a minute scene for. I can’t believe I watched this last year and I already don’t remember it. must be something bad all season long because why did I block it all 😭

75. I’m so excited for this scene and everyone else should be too. maybe Magnus should be the new head of the institute. he seems to be a better shadowhunter

76. I love this text edit gif thing

What ever happened to flipperbrain? It's been a long time since they've been active on Tumblr, are they okay?

I don’t really know, Nonny! :(

When she left, she was having some personal issues and said she needed some time away... and she just hasn’t come back :(

It’s sad, and I’m sad, and I miss her and her beautiful arts :(

psa: flipperbrain

So, I know many of you are wondering/worrying about our sweet and talented flipperbrain's absence since October... I'd like to let you know that I heard from her, and she's alright. She's had just a lot of personal stuff going on, a pretty rough time, and is still dealing with it, and tumblr stressed her out even more. I told her that she's missed.

Fanart of fictional characters. And because I have no chill, I have to share them.

Home Screen by @flipperbrain (I miss Kris) for a fic- Alii Dimidium Lunam by @artistic-writer , Salem’s contribution for the very first CSSNS and my VERY FAVORITE of her fics- that hadn’t been written at the time.

And my Lock Screen, compliments of Salem again 😁

your 5 favorite books and/or describe 5 things you can see from your window.

Oh, I can’t even put these in order! Okay... Let me try? Oh, screw it, here are 5 books that I adore and/or shaped me for whatever reason, and 5 things out my window: 

BOOKS:

5. Twilight Zone Anthology

I love the Twilight Zone. I mean, to probably a weird degree. Well, not too weird, but I love the hell out of it. Anyway, a few years back, a friend of mine gave me a copy of a book her company was doing from Rod Serling’s wife where there were a number of authors writing different short stories, and one in particular stuck with me. I’m sure I’ll think of 9000 books that should go in this place instead, but for now, here it is. 

For these next four, I’d go off forever and then also continually debate about what order they should go in, so, for now...

4. The Scarlet Pimpernel

3. Ready Player One

2. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

1. The Thief of Always

Forever in My Heart (I’m cheating): Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland/ Through the Looking Glass

OUT MY WINDOW:

5. A circa 1920-1940 apartment building

4. A fire escape

3. Twilight (not a zone, just a general one)

2. A courtyard with some plastic toys?

1. Not yet featured: the elusive New York skunk.

flipperbrain replied to your post: sherlockianwhovian: I’ve had such a busy...

lol, where do the tiny hatchets come from though? I guess I should ask my mom. XD

Umm... Well, you know, we don’t exactly know HOW men give birth, you know... I mean... maybe the hatchets come WITH the babies and they sort of... cut their way out? or maybe the not-so-proud papas just... find one in their hand at the same time as their tummy grows 50 bajillion sizes and an angry little baby monster starts trying to come out of them? I don’t know, man. It’s, like, magic and stuff. It’s... mystifying. Yeah. That sounds legit.

flipperbrain replied to your post “On this troll-day...”

Thank you for this darling, why people insist on bothering other people who are just minding their own beeswax and doing what they enjoy to do is beyond me. and to @ilovemesomekillianjones​ and @winterbaby89​ amen to your additions. <3

some people just love being assholes, and they feel great thinking they have the power to control other people’s feelings. Oh wait, that’s called a bully. Yep.
