Okey, I’m kind of obsessed, so I’m thinking feverishly about how exactly would Bloodborne characters propose. I mean, most of them would probably do it in some extraordinary way, like knee deep in blood with hunter’s weapon on their shoulder or with hands digging into someone's insides. It even seems to me like a classic marriage proposal from the time when one of the partners asked their parents for permission to wed someone (*cough* Alfred *cough*) would be in the middle of the Hunt or something. Hm, also how good are hunters as suitors? So much potential for forbidden marriage, gosh.. I don’t have any suggestions on characters, I’m simply dying to hear your thoughts on anyone! The more the merrier!!

married life ☆ lady maria, valtr, & laurence x gn! reader

a/n — i apologize for vanishing again </3 this ask was sooo cute btw and i had a ton of fun writing for it :] i've been trying to platinum bloodborne recently so i'd write in between chalice dungeons lol

Maria

She’s been preparing herself to ask for your hand for a very, very long time.

Practices reciting her proposal in the mirror so she can work on that smile of hers, the one you say looks more taunting than cheery

Maria wants to be anything but scary when she asks to be your wife

On nights where the Hunt drags on and the streets are soaked with the blood of felled prey, all will be heavy with silence save for the love-drunk recital of a lone hunter’s proposal

She carries the ring on her at all times, as both a good luck charm and an anticipatory measure

She’s so worried about her proposal going awry, about it not sticking the landing and leaving you more uncertain than excited, that she’ll often be lie awake beside you just imagining everything that could possibly go wrong

… And you’ll be none the wiser. She’s quite the stoic.

But Maria can only take so much

It’s the night of the Hunt, and she hadn’t slept the night before. Or the night before that.

She’s exhausted, a total mess — and you’re being so kind to her.

You’ve brought her treats, made sure she’s drinking enough water, and cuddled her to no end. And when it was finally time for her to get up, you helped her get ready.

You even pretended not to notice when she lowered her hat, flustered by your sweet words and warm touch

So when she’s finally headed out the door, she can’t help but do away with formalities and propose to you right then and there

And she does it in the most Maria-like way, too. She’s intense, monotone, speaking at a volume only you can hear …

She doesn’t even bother with that rehearsed smile

But you don’t mind it. Of course you don’t

She pulls her hat down over her eyes again once she’s done, embarrassed by how unprofessional she’d just been

But her spirit is quickly lifted after hearing your excited, affirming chirps

When she returns she’ll try to be more suave, pull you tight to her and ask if you really meant it. You did, obviously. Then maybe she can convince you to give her the ring back so she can have a more proper “do-over”

Maria is an absolutely stellar spouse

Her love is unconditional, she remembers every little thing you tell her, helps you out any chance she gets, buys you a whole bunch of pretty little things …

Maria treats you like royalty, and she’s your most loyal knight

The changes in her demeanor are very subtle, but her fellow hunters can tell just how much your relationship has impacted her

Her movements seem much more purposeful and she oozes a confidence that your unyielding admiration no doubt plays a part in

Gehrman’s pretty down in the dumps about the whole thing, something Maria notices but doesn’t understand. She’ll try and get him to crack a grin, but honestly it just makes him worse

Very amusing for the other hunters to watch

She holds your hand everywhere you go. It doesn’t matter if she’s leading or lagging behind you, your hand is always in hers. She’ll even swing them together sometimes if she’s feeling playful

Definitely made some sort of gift for you out of a blood gem (brooch, bracelet bead, ring, little decoration on top of a ribbon), maybe even started the trend of doing so.

Valtr

It’s very unlikely you’ll get a traditional proposal out of this guy

You’ll be beside him, cutting down vermin in a fleshy frenzy until all that's left is viscera and a tension

He’s all worked up, bubbling with courage and excitement, and decides right then and there to turn on his heel and vomit out the most suave, on-the-spot proposal ever uttered

You’ve been together long enough for him to constantly joke about the two of you being espoused, so asking feels all too natural to him and not at all like some sort of heavy, life-changing question

His clothes are still slick with blood and he’s very obviously trying to kick whatever creature you’ve just killed out of your line of sight with his boot.

It’s messy, unorthodox and very, very Valtr

He didn’t even buy a ring

Fret not, he’ll let you pick one out later!

There likely won’t even be a ceremony unless you request one, and even then it’ll probably be quite small — in some itty bitty chapel, crammed with close friends and loved ones

But again, adjustments will be made in accordance with whatever his darling beloved wants

The honeymoon phase never ended with him

He’s always going to be infatuated with you — awe-inspired, even

He still flirts with you like how he would when you’d first met; maybe even more than before. This sort of non-stop playfulness is in his nature

He may be a tease, but he’s also a gentleman. He’ll reign himself in if he ever feels as though he’s gone too far. He knows when he’s in the doghouse, and he’ll stay there until you’re ready to deal with him again.

He’s showy. Offers his arm to you when you go out, makes a huge fuss about how he absolutely must buy you whatever it is you’ve so much as blinked at, etc …

His fellows all know just how obsessed he is with you. He had them make introductions early on into your relationship; ensure you’re all friendly with each other

It’s not at all uncommon for him to get drunk while he’s out with them and ramble about you till he’s being carried out the door

Valtr is a lot to handle, but what you’re willing to take will most certainly be worth it

Laurence

Childhood friends to lovers … walk with me …

Staying over at each other’s houses to read together, having picnics and stargazing together, sitting on opposite ends of church pews and peeking over at each other, being each other’s greatest supporter…

Laurence has always envisioned a future where you’re both by each other’s side forever and ever – he’s just too naive to realize the future he’s thinking of is one where you’re married

It’ll click with him later, after some incessant teasing from your shared neighbors (“If you like them so much, why don’t you just marry them?” and the like)

One realization comes after another, and he realizes (quite ashamedly) how much he really likes you

From then on he’s much more bashful and awkward with you, though he remains the same friend you’ve known for so many years

It’s right before he leaves for Byrgenwerth that he decides to change all that. There’s no way he’s moving out and leaving you for gods know how long before telling you how he feels

He arranges a meeting with your parents, baring his heart and asking their permission for him to court you. He’s a nice young man – lots of potential – and your best friend, so of course they permit it

His confesses to you in earnest, a hymn of total adoration that would put the greatest of poets to shame

He speaks with a mild desperation and a strain in his voice that harkens back to a time when he’d tug on your sleeve, eager for your attention

He looks so relieved when you accept; shoulders dropping and eyes softening as he promises to write you every day

His devotion is unwavering, even when he’s off at Byrgenwerth

Poor guy’s diary is filled to the brim with love poetry and sappy musings

Being apart from you just makes him think of you more, and how badly he wishes that future he’s envisioned since childhood was real

It will be, he knows that, just not yet. He wants to be something first, accomplish something

So yeah, he’s making you wait. He promises to himself it’ll be the last time he ever does.

It’s agony. He has tea with you twice a month and he has to keep himself in check, try not to bring up the concept of marriage to you until he feels deserving enough to do so

You don’t press him on the subject, but there is some light teasing here and there – nothing Laurence can’t handle

Skipping ahead a bit, after finally getting the Healing Church off the ground his first priority is to wed you

Again he’d ask your parents for permission and again he’d receive it – swiftly, might I add

The clergy all know of their Vicar’s beloved and are absolutely buzzing with excitement the day they expect him to propose

As traditional as it gets. Probably brought you to some pretty, scenic area. Some high up balcony in Cathedral Ward so you can watch the city turn gold when the sun begins to set on it … There’s also definitely some nice gazebos in Yharnam, so maybe there, too.. Either way it’ll be somewhere just as private as it is beautiful.

He’ll be down on one knee, waxing poetic, promising you a wonderful life, the whole thing. Maybe the engagement ring holds the same stone as the cosmic eye watcher badge, signifying how you’re just as much his duty now as the rest of his work is

Gods forbid you ever catch a cold; you’ll have 15 different doctors looking after you

The wedding is held in the Grand Cathedral, obviously. The public one is, anyway. The two of you got married in a much more private setting about a week before this, accompanied by friends and family instead of a whole bunch of clerical strangers. While the second time around is mostly for appearances, it’s still greatly enjoyable. Laurence seems less nervous and stiff; much more used to the role of being your husband than he was the week prior. Much more smiley.

There’s a lot more eyes on you now that you’re married to a man of such importance, but Laurence is more than happy to accommodate you. He’s good at keeping things under wraps, and will gladly help shield you from the public eye as best he can

Honestly he’d be a good 9/10 spouse if it wasn’t for all his secrecy. What the Choir is up to and the more negative effects of the good blood are things he refrains from telling you until maybe a day or two before he goes the way of the beasts

But he’s erected a statue or two of you around Cathedral Ward so maybe he can be forgiven

🌍✨ A Voice from Gaza: Fighting for Hope ❤️‍🩹

Hi, my name is Mosab , and I’m from Gaza. Life here has been harder than I could ever imagine, but today I’m sharing my story with hope in my heart, because your kindness has already given us so much strength.

This journey hasn’t been easy. The war has taken 25 family members from us—25 beautiful souls we loved deeply. Their laughter, their presence, their love… all of it is gone, leaving behind memories that are both precious and painful. Every day, I carry the weight of their loss, but I also carry their spirit, which gives me the strength to keep going.

Our Journey So Far

When I first reached out, I couldn’t have imagined we’d make it this far. Your support has been a light in these difficult times, and we are so deeply grateful for every single contribution.

But the road ahead is still challenging. Every day, we’re reminded of how much we’ve lost and how much we still need to rebuild.

Here’s what life in Gaza looks like for my family right now:

🏠 Safety: The uncertainty of tomorrow weighs heavily on us.

😢 Loss: The absence of the 25 family members we’ve lost is a pain we carry every moment.

💔 Dreams on Hold: The future feels so far away when survival takes all our strength.

How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:

$5 may seem small, but for us, it’s a little relief, a moment of comfort, and a reminder that kindness still exists. ❤️

Can’t donate? Reblog this post to help us reach someone who can. Every share matters more than you know.

✅️ Vetted by @gazavetters ( #309 ) ✅️

Why Your Support Matters Your kindness isn’t just about helping us meet our goal—it’s about reminding us that we’re not alone in this fight. It’s about hope. It’s about survival. And it’s about giving my family a chance to rebuild our lives, even in the face of unimaginable loss.

Thank you for helping us get this far. Your generosity and compassion have already brought us closer to a better tomorrow, and for that, I’m endlessly grateful.

With all my love and gratitude,

Mosab and Family ❤️
