Pondering?

[dekari0s]

doing a little freshen up since I'd barely done anything here and then we're writing !!

[dekari0s]

Quite an oddity to behold… but not without beauty, either.

[dekari0s]

@wildskissed : [BELIEF]: in a moment where the receiver is lacking in self-confidence, the sender cups their face tenderly and professes their faith in the receiver's abilities.

gale doesn't intend to let the lack of confidence in himself work it's way into his words and his action but he does. after being beaten down for so long it seems impossible not to let it weave its way into everything he does - every failure takes another hit, another jab at any faith that remains in himself. perhaps the world would be better off, perhaps that is why the orb remains in his chest. maybe this is how he redeems himself.

lost in his thoughts he doesn't hear the footsteps coming towards him, gaze cast towards the ground until he feels gentle fingertips against his cheeks making him lift his head at last. " you are too kind to me, " a smile, genuine as it always was, finds it's way to the wizards lips. " you are too good to me in fact. whatever would i do without you? "

[dekari0s]

the two of them had been travelling together long enough for gale to know it's unlikely he still has the others attentions. truthfully at first his expectations had not been high, he'd even go as far as admitting to disliking the vampire, but... the wizard didn't exactly have a broad circle of friends so he was hardly able to pick and chose who he ventured with. his opinion, however, had changed some since then.

" are you? really? " unable to help but scoff in the direction of astarion, the wizard folded his arms against his chest as if in an attempt to stand his ground. " surely your sunbathing can wait until we reach the city? if the underdark is the quicker route then we should go that way - it just makes sense, no? "

" – so it's not my fault that you're wrong, darling. Poor, misguided, foolish little human," Astarion sing-songs, then smiles, smug and self-satisfied, quite sure that he's got his point across.

Astarion stops abruptly in his tracks, bristling. His smile is gone, replaced by a scowl. Why should he listen? Gale rambles and lectures and it's not as though he really knows what he's talking about, is it? Not with this.

' would you just stop for a second and listen? ' ( @dekari0s )

Whatever it is they've been arguing about.

The thing is, Astarion lost the thread of their conversation about ten minutes back. Now, he's just arguing because he's not going to admit so easily that Gale could be might be is maybe right. It's the principal of the thing.

He turns slowly on his heel, just barely suppressing his sneer. His lip curls as he looks Gale up and then down again.

"I'm listening," he says, dangerously softly. He's just daring Gale to patronise him.

WHAT TRAGIC HORROR ARE YOU?

that which cannot be known

oh god. how did it come to this? to some extent, you've gone so far past your own idea of "human" that it must be kind of fun, right? maybe. i'm not sure. as an artefact of cosmic horror, you're wild and wacky and colourful and people are probably drawn to that, but you will never let them know you. the mystery intrigues for a while, but it'll wear everyone down. it'll wear you down, too. who are you? do you remember? are you so far gone that you can't go back? and maybe that's the most tragic thing of all- becoming so distorted in your identity, and for so long, that no matter how hard you want to return you can't ever seem to figure it out. but you've learned a vast amount up in the stars, and people will work hard to get to know you. it doesn't matter who you used to be. sometimes, you should just start from scratch: give yourself a name, a birthday. let someone celebrate these things with you.

good morning <33 last day of work and then i'm freed up for the weekend for lots of writing here and on my oc who'll be ready tonight! ( he's here if you want to follow him! ) if you fancy a little plotting so we can get something started send me a dm or hit that heart.

@mccnrxse : [ check ] after an unexpectedly violent situation, sender frantically rushes to check if the receiver is okay, cupping their face to look closer.

the  blast  comes  out  of  nowhere  and  he  loses  his  footing.  one  moment  he  stands  and  the  next  gale  finds  himself  thrown  against  rocks.  he  hits  them  hard  enough  to  force  a  yell  from  his  throat  and  grunt  follows  as  he  slumps  against  them  defeatedly  -  but  whatever  caused  the  blast  is  no  longer  insight,  it’s  either  hidden  or  it’s  fled.  coward.  the  humiliation  of  being  thrown  as  if  he  were  a  bag  of  marbles  almost  allows red to rise  to  his  cheeks  but  then  he  feels  hands  delicate  fingers  against  his  cheeks.  

if  the  humiliation  was  not  enough  then  perhaps  the  bashfulness  that  comes  over  him  now  is.    ‘  coward.  ’    muttering  the  insult  under  his  breath,  gale  forces  himself  to  look  up  now  he’s  regained  some  sense  of  decency.  his  bones  ache,  bruises..    there  would  be  plenty.  looking  up  to  shadowheart  confused  at  first  though  her  touch  isn’t  unwelcome  -  he’s  merely  surprised.      ‘  i’m  fine,  really.  ’      it’s  all  he  can  respond  with  though  he’s  not  short  if  he’s  saying  it  to  reassure  himself  or  her  by  then.    ‘  it  just…    well,  maybe  i’ll  have  a  few  bruises  but  truly  i am fine.  ’        a  smile  appears  on  the  wizards  lips.     ‘  we  should  try  and  follow  them  before  they  do  anymore  damage.  ’        

gale’s  eyes  wander  over  shadowheart  in  a  quick  attempt  to  ensure  she  isn’t  injured,  though  he  didn’t  see  her  go  down  with  the  blast.  ‘  you’re  not  hurt,  are  you?  ’

You're so handsome when you're silent, Gale. Don't spoil the moment.

REASONS TO CUP A FACE. ( A PROMPT LIST. )

with the help of some very talented and amazing friends, i present to you an unexpected, very spontaneous meme list based on the beautiful art of cupping someone's face! there's a mix of romantic and platonic here, and even a few that defy the boundaries of normal relationship dynamics! i hope you enjoy! as always; DO NOT ADD TO THIS LIST NOR CLAIM IT AS YOUR OWN!

[KISS]: sender cups the receivers face in their hands before drawing them closer for a kiss.

[CHECK]: after an unexpectedly violent situation, sender frantically rushes to check if the receiver is okay, cupping their face to look closer.

[CLEAN]: sender affectionately wipes a smudge of sauce from the corner of the receiver's mouth, cupping their face in the process.

[LIFT]: sender gently cups the receiver's face and lifts their chin so the receiver is looking up at them.

[COMFORT]: sender cups a distressed receiver's face in their hands and steadies them by resting their foreheads together.

[MAKE-UP]: while applying make-up on the receiver's face, the sender cups their face in order to keep them still.

[PRIDE]: after the receiver succeeds in a remarkable achievement, the sender cups their face and tilts their foreheads together to express how proud they are of them.

[WHISPER]: in order to have a private, hushed conversation with the receiver, the sender cups their face and draws them close to make sure they can be heard.

[HAIR]: in the process of pushing the receiver's hair back from their face, the sender lets their hand rest against the receiver's cheek a moment longer.

[GROUND]: during a moment of intense emotional stress, the sender gently takes the receiver's face in their hands to ground them until they're calmer again.

[WONDER]: unable to comprehend how incredible the receiver is, the sender decides to simply cup their face in their hands and marvel at them instead.

[LAST LOOK]: before going into a situation that may result in their death, the sender takes a moment to cup the unaware receiver's face in their hand, just to take a final look of admiration at them before they go.

[SACRIFICE]: the sender cups the receiver's face tenderly to distract them, right before shoving them out of the way (to safety) and facing an attack alone in order to buy the receiver enough time to escape.

[BELIEF]: in a moment where the receiver is lacking in self-confidence, the sender cups their face tenderly and professes their faith in the receiver's abilities.

[DISBELIEF]: after the receiver has done something completely unexpected (and reckless) the stunned sender cups their face in their hands while trying to get them to explain why the hell they did it.

[BETRAYAL]: trying to keep the receiver calm before the big reveal, the sender cups their face gently to keep them steady, and then reveals that they're the villain.

[WOUND]: after the receiver has been wounded, the sender tries to keep them calm and conscious by cupping their face in their hands and talking to them to keep them focused.

[INJURY]: after having been badly wounded themselves, the sender tries to reassure the frantic receiver by cupping their face and comforting them.

[RAMSAY]: after the receiver commits a culinary crime, the sender presses two slices of bread against either side of their face, cupping their face to hold the bread in place, and calls them an idiot sandwich.
