Tag drop: Jingliu
#tag drop#jingliu. [ and so i wield my blade to the very end. until the “stars” have been cut down from the sky. this oath: i will never forsake. ]#jingliu: ic. [ trapped in childhood nightmares; she tore off a spread of black silk from the edge of her skirt and covered her eyes. ]#jingliu: inquiries. [ ice waves as sharp as knives spreading like transient flowers in the air. freezing all and everyone they contact. ]#jingliu: countenance. [ when you live to be a thousand years. each day is carrying the weight of a mountain through an interminable maze. ]#jingliu: introspection. [ why do you wield a sword? / this is like asking a poet why they wrote poems. this is the only way for me. ]#jingliu: meta. [ this sword in my hand... naught but a needle compared with the heavenly bodies. how can i use it to cut open a star? ]#jingliu: little notes. [ this is the first time she understands “wanting to live”. before now; she was simply someone ready to die. ]#jingliu: wishes. [ unsheathing this sword without merit is to blaspheme the divine will of the reignbow arbiter; and invite calamity. ]#jingliu: etc. [ to the xianzhou; i am but an abandoned pawn: a wandering swordmaster. ]#jingliu: the sword. [ if a day comes that the quivers run empty; and starskiffs crash who will protect you and i then; or the xianzhou? ]#jingliu: florephemeral sword. [ a sword: 3 feet; 7 inches in length. weighing nothing. and it glowed as if a sliver of moonlight. ]#jingliu: shattered sword. [ a sword: 5 feet in length. weighing 3000 catties. unyielding: mirroring the defiance; hubris of its creator. ]#jingliu: cangchang. [ when devoured; we had to face the truth that our lives were but a grain of sand in the river of time. ]#jingliu: hcq. [ their faces still linger before my eyes like a bygone dream. yet dream will eventually fade. like clouds from the sky. ]#jingliu: memories. [ given the choice between staring at the abyss with a troubled mind and marching blindly: i choose the latter. ]#jingliu: jing yuan. [ in an endless night; there is nothing closer than the bright moon. always hanging in the sky. ]#jingliu: imbibitor lunae. [ even after your rebirth. your techniques haven't changed. / when i move it's like… / … like you never forgot. ]#jingliu: baiheng. [ the things that we said and did together have all been shrouded in a layer of mist. a mist i cannot see through. ]#jingliu: yingxing. [ some are born with unparalleled foresight; intelligence; but make the ill-advised choices at destiny's crossroads. ]#jingliu: blade. [ that broken sword... you don't want to let go of the past. do you; blade? ]#jingliu: yanqing. [ that move was a token of my appreciation; young man. we were fated to meet this day and in days to come. ]#jingliu: v. youth. [ you can use this to vanquish those that took everything from us. ]#jingliu: v. sword champion. [ she knows it all. swords are a part of her body: the intake and release of her breath as she walks. ]#jingliu: v. traitor. [ and i will suffer my eternal punishment. that is the only way to keep the memory of the pain from fading away. ]

⠀sitting beside her on the couch.⠀nudging anything out of his way, then flopping right into her lap.⠀adjusting himself here and there to get cozy—⠀then he sighs, seemingly pleased.⠀no getting up now, not when he's so comfy.
Tumblr media
She was reading over some of her rehab cases on her phone when she feels her arm being lifted and a weight between her and the phone screen. Shay just stares at him acting like a self entitled Persian.
He sighs. Damn it why did he have to be like this-
She groans with an eye roll. "You're lucky you're pretty and cute."
Fine, she can put her phone down. She shifts and leans back. Grabs one of the nearby blankets she keeps on the couch - poor man was always cold and she was growing accustomed to being cuddled for her heat - puts it over both of them. One arm around his waist, the other around his shoulders. Fingers giving his head a gentle scratch and moving through his hair.
"Dork." Rests her head on his. Hiding a smile.

#Spotify#music for when you’re driving to ace hardware to buy mousetraps so you can kick out that mouse like Nick Cave says#and when you get there you give him your best friend’s phone number bc you unfortunately have it memorized and he goes to ace hardware all#the time for work#and the guy on the register squints at you and confirms the very male name on the screen#and you resist the urge to squeak out an excuse and just confirm#and then you stop by aldi on the way back and buy two tubs of Greek yogurt and two bottles of synergy kombucha#bc even though you brew your own and actually have way more than you could possibly handle rn bc it’s so hot in your house#you are a sucker for limited edition flavors and it will cause you to spend $8 on kombucha#so you buy pomelo lemonade and cherry coconut lemongrass#which is the summer flavor named unity or something#and you usually get one every year#but you still feel ridiculous walking out of aldi with two tubs of yogurt and two bottles of kombucha and nothing else even though no one#you know sees you even though west ********* is crawling with acquaintances#and then you get back in your car and you’re proud of the rare burst of executive function which allowed you to finally put the new battery#in your car keys even though you stole the battery from target like two months ago you just couldn’t figure out how to open the damn thing#and the convenience is novel and you think wow maybe I should injure my ribcage more often if it’s forcing me to take care of all these#tiny tasks like buying mousetraps and replacing your key battery and cooking figs in honey et cetera#and you drive down the hill and see low clouds snagging in the blue ridge mountains and feel alright for a moment#and go to the scratch and dent where you buy butter and a couple 33¢ seltzers and a diet ginger ale as a lil treat#and when you get back home you drop it on the gravel road and the ginger ale begins to leak out so you put your mouth to it even though the#thought of what nonsense is on the outside of the can from the manufacturing and shipping process lingers#and by the time you get to the kitchen and pour it over ice in a mason jar it’s fairly flat from the burst of bubbles when you poured it#awkwardly with one hand#and you drink what remains on the porch where it’s a post-rain subdued sky sort of dusk#and you think about how much it’s gonna hurt to leave and how you have no other option because of how entwined you’ve become with someone#who is the entire city and the entire vast forest and possibly the entire ecological region#and then you’re still hungry so you eat some meal prepped overnight oats that were for tomorrow morning. the end#journal

So, I’ve gone over a lot of ducks in Placid Plastic Duck Simulator. (Of course, only the ones currently available on the Switch, so I’ve been trying my best to avoid content from the latest DLC.) If I had to tell you my top three ducks in this game, it would go something like this:
1. Submarine Duck. I’m sorry, I’m literally too attached to this duck. This is THE perfect video game character. Just… Such good vibes.
2. Cat Duck. It… It probably shouldn’t be so cute, but with the design and the way it has different meows, I find myself unable to stay away from Cat Duck and press the quack button just to hear those adorable meows.
3: St. Bernard Duck. The bestest boy.

Oh, shoot, it snowed overnight… and it’s supposed to continue all day
Nothing against snow -I’m just worried about class starting back up tomorrow at 8:00 AM, and I’m not very used to driving on ice

Going to go to bed soon. Offering my full night of dreams to anyone: trade for deep, restful sleep only.
#idk I'm going to blame writing down every single dream I had as a teenager for my now constant dreaming#maybe documenting them more will help. or not. I'd be writing thousands of words a day#last night I had an adventure in a motel at a truckstop with this room in incredible detail filled with guns left by old guests hidden#by the manager who was this muscled tattooed baseballcap wearing toughguy#under these old pieces of dark wood furniture in shapes that were nearly useless for anything but statement pieces#there was dust and teddy bears and shotguns and bins with just enough rubbish to know they hadn't been cleaned out from the last guest#I crawled on the floor under the bed hiding until I could make my escape#beforehand I'd been a few shops up at the truckstop trying to get a slushy from the newsagents#but they were so old too all their stock was out of date and the machines weren't gettting cold enough to ice properly#as I tried to buy one with mum some little kid was trying to pickpocket me#we went back to the rental car and drove away up into the mountains. I dropped mum somewhere and kept going#until it turned into a beautiful mountain lane winding over the ranges#as I drove I narrowly missed a jet fighter plane crash into the hill beside me#though my car was destroyed and I walked down the hill arduously until I reached the base of a dam where police and mountain rescue waited#they'd heard the explosion but needed to see where in the mountains it had happened#so I took my friend's old boyfriend (a mountain guide) up the hill#and remarked on how funny it was that I was guiding the guide#we trekked up the hill I in bare feet until we reached the crash site#oh I forgot to mention the lesbian motorbike convention at the back of the motel in the parking lot#where I sat at a high table in the middle of the lot having a pastry for lunch all by myself#anyway that doesn't sound like much but I felt all the detail. The smell of the musty motel room and the prickly worn carpet#the softness of the brown bedspread and the terror of evading the hotel manager#the irritation at the pickpocket and the rage at having been ripped off#the adrenaline and cold of escaping the crash site#and then the breathlessness of the barefoot trek uphill#my aching feet as I stepped on prickles and sharp hot stones#it felt like it went on all night long in real time#this is every night now and has been for years#i'm going to really start doing the stretches and meditation before bed properly#cannot stand this anymore. it's not even worth it for the blorbo dreams lol

⟬ @bucketfullofocs / anita's birthday 5 • 13 ⟭
[Aya @ Anita] Aya had convinced Anita to come with her - she had a surprise for her, deep in the city. Asking her to keep her eyes closed, Aya gently guided Anita through the shopping center until they stopped in front of a store. "Open, um, open your eyes. Happy, um, Happy Birthday!"
They were standing before a "Build-A-Devilcat", a store where people could build their own Devilcats, or their own Devilbears, or any other manner of devil-creature. "I, um, I wanted to make you a Devilcat, but, um, but I thought this might be more fun - so, um, so I thought we could make one together and, um, and I can pay for it. And, um, and before you worry - I know the owner. We, um, we don't have to worry about anyone else being here while we're here."
Tumblr media
Anita didn't dislike the city. Without it, she would have never discovered that she quite liked bars and clubs ( though she enjoyed the latter more for the music and the drinks and less for the pheromonal-driven interactions. )
She had spent much of her beginning days wandering here and there, learning about all of what the Devildom had to offer. Clothes, video games, food, hobbies, everything. There was so much, not to mention the cars and lights and common etiquette. Don't bump into people, don't trust strangers, look both ways before crossing the street.
Oh, the corner there — she had tossed someone into a building there during her first few days in this strange, new ( to her ) world.
She didn't dislike the city, but she needed to be in the mood for it. It was loud and full of intense smells, some good while others made her nose wrinkle. The sound were no better, but she was fortunate that Aya guided her through the quieter parts. With her eyes closed, she had placed a hefty amount of trust in the faun's hands.
"This isn't a trap, right?" She teased because she knew Aya didn't have a single cruel bone in her body. She could be silly and a little devious, but Anita knew no harm would come to her so long as her friends was the one in charge of this outing.
And what an outing it was bound to be.
Finding herself in front of the shop was one surprise, but it was an entirely different surprise to learn that the place was empty. She wouldn't admit it, but she made it a habit to walk past whenever she visited, the desire to go in and indulge in making a plush squandered purely because there were too many people.
Now was her chance, and she would be damned if she didn't make the most of it.
Tumblr media
"You're making one too, right?" It was Aya's turn to be dragged now, the larger of the two sweeping the smaller in with no lack of enthusiasm. "Mine's totally gonna be a bear, but cool bear. Y'know? Do they have sunglasses? Oh! Wait, do they have deer? They gotta, right?!"

@felthubris​ || as discussed 
The last person the Inquisitor would have considered accidentally imposing on within the Skyhold underground baths in the late of night was Solas. He supposed that seemed silly, considering anyone could have been here, although Kaaras was hoping he could sneak down here and scrub the day’s filth from himself without disrupting anyone (or anyone disrupting him). He was a finicky man, a man that usually would have a tub delivered to his personal chambers so he could clean himself as much as possible.
Alas, Kaaras was also an understanding and kind man. The hour was far too late to have the servants within the castle hauling a tub and buckets of warm water up all of those tedious stairs. It was unfair to make them do something when he could save everyone the hassle and just take a bath within those that were already running. 
The springs of the castle were a pleasant and welcomed surprise, and an easy way for others to wash away the grime of the day, or simply spend some time relaxing within the warm water. Unfortunately for Kaaras, they were public, and anyone residing within the fortress was allowed to access them. There would be no discrimination. At least, not under Kaaras’ watch. 
When he’d entered the area, it was quiet, save for the natural sounds of water trickling and moving down the rocks. That, and when the naked elf had emerged from the water, showing his pale, smooth skin.
Tumblr media
Kaaras’s ears fell down, and he felt heat rise up to his cheeks immediately as he averted his eyes. “Oh... I was not aware anyone was here.” He had a towel in his hands, and a change of clothes. “Should I come back later...? I would hate to intrude.”
