lucanis is a 'I could sit in our quiet kitchen on a grey tuesday afternoon drinking coffee and talking with you about nothing much in particular forever and be the happiest man who ever lived' romantic, not a 'classic tropes and grand gestures' romantic. this is a distinction and conceptual gap I personally feel is crucial to understanding what's going on with him when romanced. for all his almost painful sincerity and clear depth of feeling he's not a very effusive guy by nature, but in the history of time no one has ever, with their whole soul, chest and being, been so genuinely and openly happy to just do laundry and taxes with you.
#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#lucanis dellamorte#rookanis#rook x lucanis#his enchanting bordering on comical low-keyness in all his dealings and quiet but unflinching devotion is the point!#that is where the joy is stored. To Me. the mutual 'your company could make hell paradise to me' level of just...#*liking* between him and rook gets to me. they're best friends who enjoy doing everything together and also in love.#diversity win two demisexuals living the dream out there and incidentally also sometimes killing dragons together <3#it's less about the butterflies in my stomach excited love more about the calm safe home/best friend kind of love. if you see what I mean#less dramatic and narratively explosive more realistic and soothing and exactly my shit haha#also I think he's autistic and leaning on romance tropes is more like scripting for him (not inauthentic in terms of the feelings#just some 'well as I understand these are the steps to *express* these feelings' not quite spontaneity going on)#but that is very much a personal headcanon and fully vibes-based and no one has to agree with me on it haha#if/when he proposes to rye I don't think he plans it all out or anything he'd just gaze at him in some very mundane everyday situation#and suddenly go '...hey do you want to get married' like he's noting that they're low on onions or something#because he's so utterly enchanted with rook's existence and being anything else seems kind of irrelevant right then#(rye knows him very well and is not particularly taken aback by this. if anything he'd been fretting#over popping the much bigger question of whether lucanis wants to get buried side by side with him lol#(reader... he said yes. and they were gravemates. (oh my god they were gravmates)))

The secret to getting yourself to do art studies, study the faceclaim for your Blorbo(Vico Ortiz for Murderbot in this case)
#murderbot#tmbd#sketches#portrait#practice#it just makes studies so much more fun#to allow yourself a lil wiggle room#particularly if you can wiggle it towards your favorite blorbo#Vico just has the perfect expressions for MB imo

I had a dream about you.
I was scrolling through your tumblr blog and there was an anon that asked which was better: jumping off of roofs or rolling down it?
You answered how when you were younger you used to lay on the roof top of your childhood home—you and your mother would watch the stars, and at these moments she would say that she loved you.
So you picked neither. Whenever you thought about a roof it is devoid of love. There was nothing to it.
In the tags you said that you needed to stop getting distracted and write your essay because the needed word count was in the trillions (you weren’t over exaggerating).
i'm both flattered that your subconscious deems me worthy enough to write fanfiction about and a little unnerved by how strangely accurate an insight into my person this is, in a dream-logic kind of way
#particularly the idea of my mom taking me up to the roof to tell me she loved me#trapping me in a space which flight from would be both exceedingly difficult and blatant#she never did take me up to the roof to watch the stars#but many of my memories of both expressions of love and demonstrations of power and infliction of terror#from her and my dad are associated with similar forms of entrapment. car rides and family holidays and walks in the woods and illness.

The most difficult part of being in a relationship with Obi-Wan was navigating all the nat-born courting rituals outside of Cody's awareness. Given that most Jedi didn't go in for that sort of thing, it hadn't been covered in Cody's training.
Despite living together, Cody knew they had yet to go on a 'date.' Work piled up for both of them in the month after the war ended. However, Cody's research told him that Obi-Wan's invitation to dinner and a walk in Coruscant's arboretum that night meant they would tick that box soon.
The problem began when Cody's secretary started gossiping with one of the Coruscant guards. Sitting at his desk, he could hear the pair chattering in the hall. The guard was lamenting her limited wardrobe and that she had nothing to wear for her upcoming date. That set the wheels in Cody's head turning. Clothes weren't something that he thought about often, other than their usefulness in concealing a weapon. He still mostly wore his blacks and dress grays - though he had taken to borrowing Obi-Wan's robes on cold rainy evenings.
Cody frowned at the datapad in his hands. The romance holos that Rex had forced him to watch on shore leave last year flashed through his mind. His perfect memory recalled a detailed montage about picking a date outfit in each holofilm. He sighed, leaning back in his chair. Another nat-born ritual catching him off guard.
Not one to be defeated by a surprise attack, Cody did what he was born to do. He researched, analyzed, and planned an offensive maneuver accordingly. The holonet turned out some useful results.
After work, he took his list of holosite articles to the nearest department store, one he knew Fox frequented regularly. On encountering the barrage of fabrics and colors, he quickly consulted his references.
Hot Trends in Coruscant's Spring Fashion: What You Need to Know
Venator or Corellian Freighter? Your Body Type and the Clothes that Work for You
Cute Looks for All Types of After Dinner Activities
Dating a Co-Worker? Outfits to Drive Them Wild In and Out of the Office
He wasn't sure he was the target demographic for any of these articles, but they helped. He tried on a dozen different outfits, the store attendant helping him sort through the clothing combinations. Some things were too itchy. Others were impractical if they ended up in a combat situation. Still others seemed ugly, even to Cody's limited understanding.
After much deliberation, Cody settled on something comfortable, reasonably priced, and recommended by the majority of his source articles. The attendant even complimented him on his choices. Feeling a strange mixture of confident and nervous, Cody took his spoils home to change.
The only thing left was to gauge the tactical success of his plan based on Obi-Wan's reaction.
#codywan#star wars#i've been thinking about what clone fashion would be like post-war#they've got limited exposure to human gender norms but they've also been all over the galaxy and interacted with several cultures#customization and individual expression are part of clone culture too#so hundreds of clones set loose on coruscant with a paycheck would result in the wildest microtrends and fashion subcultures in the galaxy#i don't think the jedi would be particularly helpful as a reference of normal clothes either#outside of diplomacy and undercover work their standard uniform is comfortable beige blankets and a belt#digital art

once i was in a creative writing class in college, and in a bit of humor i wrote the line:
"Um," I said, eloquently.
And my teacher was so adamant that I had to remove it because "um is not an eloquent word, so it makes no sense" and i was like my brother in christ it's called Irony
#she was so so adamant about it like.#ma'am.#specifically i did it that way because i wanted to express the fact that the character felt particularly foolish#like their brain being all like 'oh nice job what an eloquent way of putting it dumbass'#but without writing all that out ya know.#but no it was 'wrong' and it had to be removed :/#creative writing courses have never done a damn thing for me tbh#i know there has got to be a better way to teach it so that it doesn't quash someone's creativity#but i have yet to find one that does so#people are so weird about writing as an art compared to other visual arts :/#lulu talks

did not play a rook de riva but the image of viago trying to be a bit cute just before the battle of their lives and going “you like my furrow :) called it the thinking man’s dimple ☺️❤️🙂↕️😁” before teia is like “…not in public i don’t” and then, looking 0.5 cm over his beautiful gf’s shoulder. to his horror. his protege slash sibling slash subordinate has just walked up to them and definitely overheard that
#and generally its not like he shies away from publically loving teia vry much (casino ambient dialogue)#i like to think he is a little embarassed regardless of faction#but its particularly bad if its a rook de riva.#especially because of the way the animation makes his head snap to rook LMFAO#i also cannot express how much this line made me like him more#he was already sooo funny to me since tn and to see him actually like . voiced and so involved#viago de riva#veilguard spoilers#txt#anyways. thinking abt it bc i had to go back to record illario dialogue. LOL

Kingdom Hearts 3 - Lich
#kingdom hearts 3#kh3#lich#heartless#my gif#wanted to gif some spooky looking heartless and this seemed like a good one to start with#some pureblood heartless have the design motif of having a hollow heart-shaped cavity in their body#but this one looks particularly visceral as if its heart was ripped out or even exploded out of its chest#it looks like a fresh open wound#i suppose it makes sense that a heartless like this would have pink accent colors to resemble a heart but i feel like there's more to it#there's a sadness to its expression which isn't something that's present in other heartless

MERYEM UZERLI AS HÜRREM SULTAN
Which is the greater sin? To care too much? Or too little?
#hürrem sultan#hurrem sultan#meryem uzerli#magnificent century#muhteşem yüzyıl#muhtesem yuzyil#mcedit#perioddramaedit#period drama#quote from diary of a poison master#I feel this quote is particularly applicable to how she's expected to feel about suleiman being with other women#bc she's ridiculed and isolated when she's rightfully expressing how upset it makes her#but I imagine he'd be just as pissed off if she completely didn't care#as would everybody else#which is shown through how people react to mahidevran RIGHTFULLY criticising and falling completely out of love with suleiman

I can't get over this quote. I feel like the whole series is building to this moment, this perfect metaphor for their disposition. I hope that in the next LN, she understands better that she doesn't need to match his intensity. Love doesn't have to be overwhelming passion, it can be quiet admiration and comfort in their presence. Two very different styles of love but neither less valuable than the other.
#the apothecary diaries#jinmao#stole the screenshot from someone else but the paragraph has lived in my head for ages#honestly good for me to remember this quote too because I sometimes feel like i let my husband down by not being as romantic as him#and dont particularly want to be the target of romantic expression either

#Doodles#Clinical Trial#Angel Martinez#Lee Smith#I had far too much fun drawing that first one even if I do think it's OOC lol#I don't think he'd touch them that casually I just reallyyy wanted to draw it#Thus his apology afterwards lol#They're in a particularly delicate mindframe at that point! No way he'd touch them without their express permission#Though he sure does overstep in other ways huh - that's kind of his MO haha he won't lift a hand against their will but anything else?#Fair game#He's creepy! Convinced he means well and in some ways he does but agh#I like how I honestly can't settle on the way I feel about him haha - I just feel A Lot towards him!#I'd tell him to treat Angel well but I already know he'd literally die before he made any other move pft.... Oh Lee...#His self-justifications are probably the scariest part of him - the way he can turn so quick on a dime if he just convinces himself#''No actually I intended to do that from the start'' uh huh - guy who definitely had everything figured out from the very beginning#Sure Lee lol#Which isn't to say he's not intelligent! That's part of his problem really lol he can talk himself around with logical arguments#Doesn't mean he's right but once he's settled he's hard to unsettle haha#What he regrets and what he doesn't give such an insight into what he values as well#Murder? Just doing more good than harm - harm reduction even getting rid of someone without remorse#Better him than someone else and better Brandon than let him run loose#Neverminding him taking the role of judge-jury-executioner - and this is no defense of Brandon I do basically agree with them both#But that's still not Lee's choice#But the closet? Something he does regret - because that was selfishly motivated that was inward-aimed with outward consequences#Murder was to help Angel and anyone else in the line of fire - the closet was Lee's own pleasure above all else#Makes sense that he'd be more worried about one than the other and that order being a little skewed lol#Not something he could justify to himself and so it became a regret! Man - the fact that the Reject-Reject ending has him predict Angel :(#Wonder if it's something he could ever spin the positive on if given enough time - everything happens pretty fast thereafter#Impulsive guy.... But that is part of the Lot I feel towards him haha
