good luck. i love you. despite it all, i'm hopeful.

The brothel ladies love Sevika...
------
When two male patrons stumbled out of Babette's on shaky knees, they sneered under Sevika's neutral, grey gaze. Not regulars from what she could tell, else they'd exercise more caution behind those upturned snouts and puffed out chests. All in all, the interaction didn't faze her but did make her shake her head as she stepped into the brothel.
The lobby glowed a gentle crimson. A stick of lavender incense burned on an ornamental stand on a corner shelf. Giggling and half-faked moans echoed from the back rooms. The usual heady ambiance, one Sevika had grown to find familiar and comforting, one that made her mouth water the second she entered its embrace.
The Yordle Madame was decidedly missing from her front desk perch, in her place a young, human male with dark curls barely reaching his brows. When he looked up, he nearly did a double take.
"S-Sevika?"
"Miguel."
"You're here...? Today?"
"Yes," she deadpanned, leaning in. "Now fuck off and go get your boss."
Without another word, Miguel power walked to the back. It took less than a minute before Babette padded up to the front to greet Sevika.
"My favorite client. You are..." Babette wet her thumb and flipped through the large leather-bound schedule book. "...four days early." She furrowed her brows. "Or did you need to see me in my office to talk?"
Sevika rested her bronze forearm on the desk. "Don't need intel. I need a break. Silco's been riding my ass the whole week."
"Well, good, because it's been unusually quiet lately. Not that I mind. But that, uh... problem you took care of over a month ago sure was a loudmouth."
A former client and troublemaker who thought he could get away with shortchanging a worker and trying to put his hands on her. Sevika reveled in stalking him down the street and beating his ass within an inch of his life. Luck would have it that she was there to begin with considering Silco's business association with Babette's, but it wouldn't have mattered; she'd have done it regardless whether the girls asked or not. All she needed was a description and time.
"You do look a little worse for wear, hun. More so than usual. I'm sure the girls will be more than happy to remedy that. And to thank you for that... incident."
Sevika grunted. "Who's available now?"
"Give me one tick." Babette flipped through the book once more, mumbling to herself.
A door whispered open and shut in the background. Sevika glanced up and caught one of the lingerie-clad girls tiptoeing out. She was curvy, light-brown complexion and impossibly dark hair, with a smattering of freckles decorating her shoulders and a six-inch burn scar marring her right shoulder blade. An intricately carved grey wolf mask covered her face, one that she was aiming to move before she focused on the front desk.
She tilted her head. "Sevika?"
The mask gave her away instantly. Sevika remembered her from their second appointment a few weeks ago—the mischievous transplant who spoke before she thought. New at Babette's. She was energetic and excitable, always eager to learn and submit. Her more haughty clients thought her inexperienced and easily pliable. She wasn't. Years of delicate practice colored her every touch and kiss; Sevika herself had enough experience on the receiving end to tell. And by Janna did she know how to use that fucking tongue of hers.
"Ahh, look who it is," Babette continued. "Lupe was just finishing up her break. She's free now if you want her."
Lupe sauntered over to Sevika who rose to greet her properly.
"Hi Sevika," she purred, slinking around until she latched herself on Sevika's right arm. Her nails tickled Sevika's bicep.
Sevika gave her a slow once-over, wetting her lips over the woman's barely-contained tits. "Who else is free?"
Babette turned a page. "Only Xu and Harley for now. You... want all three? With your usual?"
"Yeah. All three. Two hours this time."
Babette cocked a brow. "Guess Silco really did do a number on you this week." She penned in the booking. "Okay. You're set. Two hours with the girls. Let them know if you need more time. Ruby room is unoccupied downstairs."
Ruby room, the biggest available with the largest bed. Naturally.
Lupe squeezed Sevika's arm and pulled her towards the back. "C'mon. I'll get you set up and get the other girls. You know they miss you, right? You haven't been around the last few weeks."
"Do they now?"
Sevika ducked her head as she descended the creaking staircase to the basement. The air was a touch cooler but the headiness still hung heavy. Though it was early in the day for the brothel, a handful of rooms were occupied with new whispers, gagged screams, and leather smacks to accompany them.
Lupe led Sevika to the back corner room and sat her on the sofa. Sevika relaxed into it, spread her arms across the back of it, and sighed. She shut her eyes, grunting in acknowledgment when Lupe said she'd be back.
The past week flashed through her mind. Whatever stick Silco had shoved up his ass had been lodged in there too far. Probably little Jinx grinding his nerves on top of the anxiety of closing the next few shimmer deals. Every minor detail was scrutinized and grounds for some form of snippy, backhanded remark or reprimand like Sevika was a goddamned child. She had far too much patience for her own good sometimes. Useful for keeping her own anger issues in check, but not so when even Ran had to verbally knock some sense into her in private. Yesterday, she finally had enough. One sassy comment and she snapped back at Silco until he adjusted his tie, half-apologized, and shut his mouth for the rest of the day.
Outside of today's earlier business, he left her alone, so she took the rest of the day off. Hell, she'll probably take tomorrow off too. Catch up on sleep or something. She deserved it after closing his deals and enduring his crybaby bullshit, and there was nothing of importance to worry about for at least the next three business days.
She thanked the universe when the Ruby room's door opened and shut again. Three bodies loomed into view when her eyes creaked open, every one as delectable as the last. Each claimed a spot on the sofa—Xu nestled at her right, Harley tucked into her left, and Lupe between her spread legs, no mask.
Xu's striped tail tickled Sevika's fingertips. She grazed her claws from Sevika's thigh up to the clasp of her poncho, undoing it as she dragged her fangs past Sevika's jaw to whisper in her deep, sultry voice. "Hey, Sevikaaa."
The poncho changed hands over to Harley, who folded it and set it aside for later. Submissive and demanding, she emboldened Xu's possessiveness, attaching her own full lips to Sevika's neck. "Mmm... we missed you, Sevika." Her words released in an attempted purr that likely gave Xu a run for her money and a reason to roll her feline eyes.
Lupe cupped Sevika's chin. Her thumb feathered over the arcane cracks, the softness sending shocks down Sevika's spine. "I told yooouuuu."
Sevika scoffed. She relaxed further into the couch save for the occasional twitch from Xu and Harley's eager, roaming hands around her now-exposed torso and—when the hell did they undo her shirt?
"Please. You only miss me 'cause I tip well."
"You do tip well," Xu chimed in. "In more ways than one."
Sevika had a quip fired and ready to go, but the words died in her throat when Harley traced her happy trail down to muss the hair between her legs.
"Oooh, look who's sensitive today," Harley sang. "Betcha gonna make the two hours worth it?"
"Keep talking and I'll make you tap out first."
"So, what do you want to start with, Sevika? Massage sound good?" Lupe asked, a twinkle in her emerald eyes.
"Massage sounds perfect."
The ladies immediately took to their roles—Xu slow undressing while Lupe and Harley prepared the bed and toys.
Babette had even said as much once. That the girls genuinely liked her and missed her on occasion. Flattering as it was, Sevika never took much stock into it. It was dangerous territory, succumbing to the siren song of the "girlfriend experience" that made most regulars question their life decisions. Entertainment and comfort was part of their job. Still, she'd eavesdropped on plenty of hushed conversations between client and worker on her visits—fake giggles to feigned hobby interest and everything in between. None of them ever spoke to her in the same manner, in the same faux-flirty lilt engineered to wrench out extra tips.
Luck, perhaps.
The notion lit a small flame in her core, though. For all the shit she endured, perhaps it eased her enough to know that somewhere in the dark streets of the Lanes she called home that someone—or some few—appreciated her presence and existence.
For once.

Back when the Black Wolf and White Lion were nothing more than freshbloods recently saved from an overtaken encampment, a string of nightly mishaps leads to yet another fateful encounter with the garlean princes.

"...Maybe knocked her out for a few hours...?"
Shadow Milk echoed, the grin dropping off his face as he looked at Absolute Raindew.
"...Maybe knocked her out for a few hours...?"
Even the room held its breath for a moment as the Master of Deceit stared at his daughter.
Then he started to laugh.
He laughed terrifyingly, loudly and annoyingly. As Starry Clockwork Cookie just hung there, in the air, he just kept laughing.
"YOU KNOCKED HER OUT?" He suddenly yelled, face now contorted in fury. The shadows bristled and reached and danced, more and more dazzling sapphire eyes blinking open in them.
Curved in unseen smiles.
"OH! OH OH OH! Rainy! I thought you were responsible!" Shadow Milk snapped, cracking his head 180 degrees and staring at Raindew in fake shock.
"You can't lie to save your own itty-bitty soul! Your plays are merely subpar! You don't scare a single measly cookie on Earthbread (tiny disgusting children don't count) and I was willing to forgive you for that!" He spoke dramatically, giving Raindew his best hurt expression as he floated around.
"But look at this! Look! At! This! You've INTERFERED with my VERY important, very majorly crucial, critical, essential, urgent, beneficial, vital and very very very necessary plan!!"
He snapped, and with another wave of his cane Absolute Raindew Cookie was in the air too, constrained, barely able to breathe-
Shadow Milk twirled his cane, his figure morphing into something that somewhat resembled Absolute Raindew Cookie.. but with... a weirdly pathetic expression..?
"'It's MY fault, Shadow Milk Cookie!! Hurt me instead of her!'" He mocked, floating back and forth in the air. He turned his head so quickly it almost cracked.
"Oh, look at you, all grown up! Using my name! Didn't I tell you to call me DAD?!"
(ooc: hii i wont put my oc details here since u know her, and its also on my rp blog
(rp directed towards Absolute Raindew Cookie :D)
"Deceit... more than a lie, and thus a comfort?"
Starry Clockwork Cookie's eyes trail across the words etched upon the brilliantly blue stone. Tick. Tick.
"Ah... I am afraid I neither understand nor quite sympathise with this statement.."
A slightly uneasy laugh. She cleared her throat.
"Say.. I haven't yet caught your name, though I am sure it is the brightest out of the vast selection of stars."
@starryclockwork-rp
“Hmph. If only you knew.”
The girl shakes her head and sighs. The little eye on her neck bow rolls in irritation. It looked like a resin decoration, but now it seemed to be not.
However, when Starry Clockwork asks her for her name, the eye on her bow lights up and she grins, bowing her head deep down. Almost theatrically. Where had Clockwork seen that?
“Ah! Finally, a valid question! I am Absolute Raindew Cookie, heir to the throne of trickery and deceit! And you are?”
Absolute Raindew looks up, waiting for an answer or even such as just a reaction.
#hes so bipolar my gosh#bros mad#i say it like i didnt write it lol#starry clockwork cookie#absolute raindew cookie#shadow milk cookie#cookie run roleplay

This might be a crazy take but I don't think deep down Micah is as evil as he's "describing" himself to others. Or at least he wasn't this rough as a kid and maybe later.
It aint a secret that his childhood wasn't happy and carefree. His father brought him up as a tough and strong man. But what if Micah couldn't force himself to as cruel behaviour as his father expected from him? I think Micah was taught a lesson he couldn't forget till "now". If he was cruel since always, would he even need to bring up his fathers words in camp in front everyone? To me he looks like he wanted to prove his cruelty more to himself than to others.
I feel like his way of presenting himself is just a mask. He isn't stupid- he knows he's a bad man.
Also, when he asks Mary Beth to dance and she refuses he says he ain't a monster. I think it's genuine, 'cause, for example, when he teases Grimshaw and she calls him a horrible man he just agrees. He wants to be perceived as awful and insufferable but not by everyone. I think he maybe even liked Mary Beth, not in a romantic way but i think her innocence and kindness made him have sympathy for her.(Also she could be an easy target, since she was making herself appear like a reserved and kind character, so he could think that she's so humble she won't refuse. But I prefer to think he wanted to be nice to her and liked her lol)
After all, I think deep down he isn't as awful as he appears as. I think when he mentions his father and his strict childhood he isn't talking and bragging to others (well it kinda is to some extent since he wants to appear as tough and manly lol) but he's talking to himself. To the "weak" part of himself which maybe even, subconciously or not, regrets not wanting to redeem himself. But well, why would you redeem yourself if this lifestyle is what created you? If that's what you were validated for your entire life (or at least through during important part of your growing up) and what made you feel seen?
I would like to mention here the fact that Micah wrote a letter to Amos, which he claimed he "couldn't stand" (if he disliked him so much why he wrote a full ass letter to him wtf) but I'll write about this in another post i think lol but it will be some kind of a part 2 of this i guess
#this is a remake of my previous post i deleted cause i didnt like it and was too lazy to write this earlier lol#adhd and depression is a struggle#please someone read this and don't say im delusional ahh#im going insane#hes just like me fr#im going to get drunk now#rdr2 community#rdr2#red dead redemption 2#van der linde gang#micah bell#red dead#red dead fandom#rdr2 micah#rdr2 analysis#micahposting

anyways, i genuinely like bella as casting for ellie.
i think they're fine as her, some of the writing is just a bit not great compared to season 1 + whoever is doing makeup/hair/clothing is not doing them and most of the cast justice. especially the female cast having obvious makeup and perfect hair. not to mention most of the cast in general looking like they just grabbed new clothes off the rack.
#it feels like theyre not sure how to make ellie 19#i agree with a couple people that it feels like theyre still trying to write ellie like she's 14#and its screwing over bella's acting#plus a couple odd story choices with disjointed scenes :(#theres a few times i thought bella couldve been mistaken for ingame ellie!!!#im so sad people are so mean to them#i was iffy at first and didnt like the casting#but once i watched it i instantly warmed up to them#dina having ultra curly shampoo commercial hair and looking like she just slapped on a layer of makeup#maria having so very obvious eyelash extentions#im sure if abby actually had mascara or not#i dont hate the actresses but why are they being done dirty#twd could weather them and make them look dirty why cant tlou make them dirty too#i dont need them instagram ready#dina annoys me the most like this girl should be getting her hair YANKED by infected n shit#why didnt they put it up in a bun or high ponytail :((#i know people complain that bella's hair is a bit long for the half up style but i saw somebody say they didnt want to touch it#thats lowkey how my hair looked when i cosplayed ellie so i cant criticize it lol#tlou hbo#the last of us hbo#the last of us season 2#the last of us#tlou

So I've been spending a bit of time on Twitter lately, and seeing a bunch of different shipping takes of the strawhats. That got me thinking, Do you think the Barto pirates are shipping the straw hat crew? Would they get into arguments and fights about it?
Like it started out as a joke or something but then they got really serious about it, and it spreads through out the fleet, shipping wars break out between all of them and the fighting gets real bad so Luffy has to step in and yells at them all for being stupid which leads to everyone confessing the reason for them fighting and then they ask the crew if there is any romantic feelings going on between the crew mates just to end the fighting.
#lol sorry i had this idea and just needed to write it down#i think it would be funny to have them fight over insaine takes idk#might make a little comic about it. or just write a fanfic (idk how to write tho)#some of the straw hat ships i dont like wouldnt make since for other pirates to know about...#but i want to make fun of my brother for saying that Bonnie is Luffy's end game (my bro didnt know Bonnie is like 14 btw)

one thing I love about twenty one pilots albums is they always let Tyler get in at least one good scream before the end. It's his Enrichment I believe
#i say “let” like tyler didnt write the songs lol#also were counting the livestream version for scaled and icy bc 1) its iconic and 2) i can see how leaving one out of the main version#could have been a choice based on the vibes of the album#songs work different in a recording booth vs live yk?#but yeah tyler joseph scream singing beloved#twenty one pilots#tyler joseph#tøp

WIP meme; "let the moss gather" chapter one draft opening
don't worry, i'm not gonna be so mean as to tag anyone lol, but i was thinking about it and figured, eh, what the hell, i'll go ahead and post this
this is the second draft of this particular idea for starting chapter one. i need to finish the rest of the conversation, but my brain has Not been cooperating with dialogue lately. (i really need to practice more.) to make things worse... draft three is probably going to replace all this exposition and turn it into a real conversation 🫠
i'm still debating that, though. i like the set-up of nick reviewing what he knows, but i definitely need to fix... something about it. the segue of "nick reviewing facts" into "the conversation is Still Happening" is weird, i think, but i also want to show nick actively examining elle as she talks. maybe i need to rearrange things a bit so that this is their second meeting, and he's asking follow-up questions? and if it's a second meeting, he probably is bringing her some info, too, which would be useful for going ahead and getting shit rolling. but it shouldn't be anything actionable, bc i need to send her off on a minor job with maccready to set up his plotline...
ANYWAY i've rambled too much. here's the WIP:
———————
The first step to any case is always the same: Review the facts. Lay out what you know and watch for the gaps. When it comes to information, absence can speak just as loud as hard evidence — If not louder. As you’d expect, it’s like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. When all the pieces form a ring instead of a complete picture, there’s a lot to learn from the shape of the hole. At the very least, you know where to start being nosy.
So: What does Nick Valentine know about this newest case?
The client is a mercenary by the name of Elle, a small woman draped in layers of well-worn cloth over old military-looking armor. He doesn’t get many mercs asking for his help, so that alone is a little unusual. They’re the types to to take care of their problems themselves, after all. Typically with a hail of bullets. But she’s new to the area, relatively speaking, anyway. She’s still learning the lay of the land — Maybe she’s been in the Commonwealth for several months now, but she says she’s mostly stuck to Bunker Hill and Goodneighbor.
Nick’s preliminary research shows that’s not the whole truth. It’s not exactly a secret she worked for Edward Deegan and the Cabot family for a time, so she’s known at the Slog and a couple of the other northern settlements. He’s not sure why she skimmed around that fact, but then, the Cabots have always been... private. And when it comes to what she knows about the Commonwealth, it doesn’t change much.
What does that have to do with anything? Well, she’s looking for someone. Another mercenary, actually — And this is where it really starts to get interesting. She’s done some networking on her own, but hasn’t had any luck. But then, she doesn’t even know the man’s name.
What she does have, though, is a description. A pretty damn specific one. Because finding him is so important to her that she’s gone out of her way to wheedle the Memory Den into accepting her as a client... Somehow. Which is why she arranged to meet him there after reviewing her memories — She has permission to use the space, and unlike the rest of Goodneighbor, it’s both quiet and private.
(But the last time Nick checked, Irma wasn’t taking walk-ins. He’s curious how Elle pulled it off, but hasn’t find an opening to ask. He’s keeping a pin in that thought. Maybe he’ll talk to Irma later.)
So, this guy she’s hunting down. He’s balding, but wears a dark beard shaved close. Round jaw, thick brow, short downturned nose. Dark eyes with a noticeable scar cutting from forehead nearly down to his jaw, skipping over his left eye. When she saw him, he was dressed in a dark leather jacket with a metal pauldron strapped to his left shoulder. White button-up shirt, surprisingly clean.
And his gun — She’s equally detailed about his gun. A .44 Magnum revolver with a synthetic grip. It has a bull barrel, and it’s ventilated, she’s said.
Leave it to a merc to know to prioritize that kind of information. A unique gun stands out, and mercenaries carrying personalized weapons don’t change them often. Not after the time and expense it takes to buy, make, or scavenge them.
And this particular mercenary would certainly know, considering the guns she’s got. Nick hasn’t seen her pistol drawn yet, but a snakeskin holster with matching grips isn’t exactly common. And the rifle holstered on her back... There’s something etched into the wood stock, visible where it sticks up over her shoulder. The dim lighting of the Memory Den would slow down a human, but lucky for Nick this time, he isn’t one. It reads “ARRÊT!”
Nick the synth doesn’t know much about other languages. But the memories of the Pre-War detective rattling around in his head tell him it’s French — Makes him think Canada. (He’s put a pin in that, too. That rifle has to have a hell of a story behind it.)
So: There’s what he knows. Is the shape of the hole clear yet? What bothers Nick the most right now...
“You still haven’t mentioned one thing. Why are you trying to track him down? And what makes him so important you’ve been trying for months?”
Elle doesn’t answer him right away, and Nick watches her closely, carefully noting every detail. The corners of her blue eyes tighten, and maybe she keeps them locked with Nick’s, but it’s clear she’s fighting the instinct to look away. (Is it his inhuman eyes she wants to avoid, or his question?) She works her jaw slightly, reminding him of other people he’s known, like Vadim — The types who talk to themselves, when they’re trying to hold it in. Her bony fingers fidget with the dial on the back of her Pip-Boy glove, twisting it slowly one way, then the other, but that one isn’t new, since she’s done it for the entire conversation so far.
Yeah: She’s wearing a Pip-Boy. It boasts spots of rust and faint spiderwebbing along one corner of the screen, which suggests to Nick maybe she isn’t fresh out of a vault. Honestly, he doesn’t think she’s a vault dweller at all — Not with her definitely-wasteland teeth. She could’ve bought it, but she’s so pragmatic she likely wouldn’t blow all her caps like that. No, he thinks it was either gifted to her, or she scavved it, maybe from the same place she found her guns and her desert camo breastplate. She doesn’t strike him as the type to murder someone for their gear.
“It’s... It isn’t — something I want to talk about,” she finally settles on.
#taffywrite#taffytalk#fic: but i can't stop#oc elle days#i guess i wanted to ramble a little about my thought process on where i am with these drafts atm#it is tempting to go ahead and start the third draft with the new idea but. i should finish this one first#i need to figure out how elle is going to try to get out of this lol and if nick lets her#in the first draft she dodges by being like. ''does it really matter'' and ''i know this doesnt make sense but i cant tell you that''#promptly driving nick insane#but i dont think thats going to work in this edition of things#anyway i've tag babbled enough to keep this post hopefully out of his main tag so:#nick valentine#i was also originally going to outright say elle is courier six in the prologue#but since that didnt happen bc it didnt feel natural#i'm enjoying dropping really blatant iykyk hints#she's wearing the desert ranger combat armor breastplate and has the survivalist's rifle and a pip-boy#she namedropped mojave-area vaults in the prologue#ppl who know/remember fnv will put it together but fo4-onlys wont catch on#plus like. the rest of the cast seeing these things and not having context for them is fun#and since i'm writing fairly close 3rd person POVs... it makes sense i think#i'll save the actual words Courier Six for later. but also. literally her railroad codename is going to be courier LOL

i cannot take the lucanis romance discourse anymore. this game was advertised as having the best romances in the entire franchise and then when the actual game dropped he is the one character with the least content in the entire game despite being a MAIN companion esp in relation to the other quests + his romance lock in scene is LITERALLY 45 seconds, it has barely any substance and it's pretty poorly written AND if during the first big choice in the game u get locked out of his romance (which. even tho it could be in character that is a BAD decision in a game series that prides itself again on its romances and is actually a sign of not good decision making taking into consideration the fact that he becomes a NOTHING character regardless of romance after saving minrathous) i think people are allowed to be a bit bitter and disappointed because THAT IS NEITHER NORMAL NOR A GOOD DECISION IN AN RPG THAT'S COMPANION DRIVEN.
#in what world is it normal or good writing to have a MAJOR CHARACTER that u just cannot get to know via his arc because u had to make#a choice.#i WANT my decisions to impact my gameplay yes. i want characters who i've wronged to fight me every step of the way. one of my favorite#parts of inquisition is having cassandra absolutely despise my inquisitor.i enjoy the challenge that is romancing fenris as a pro magic mag#but the way they did lucanis' arc post minrathous/treviso choice was not the way to do it#either they didnt have enough time to finish his hardened arc OR someone sat down and said that in the game u pay SIXTY euros for to get to#know this character. you actually will not be able to see how he evolves as an embittered hardened version of himself lol get fucked#how is that good writing??? how is that good decision making?????#could u have imagined if u had rivalry with anders he just. fucked off to do all of his personal quests without u getting to see any of it#and then at the end of the game u didnt even get to see him blow up the chantry?? he just rolls up and says he blew up the chantry???#THAT is what happened with lucanis. why are we defending that shit#and like god. i wanna like a lot of parts of this game so bad i really do. im trying my best to make lucanis work with what we've been give#but this. blind idolization and defending of veilguard's writing from parts of the fandom makes it SO hard
