#How to Buy Options

[mythalism]

genuinely curious how the writers and larger dragon age audience would treat thom rainier if instead of being appropriately* repentant and putting himself in prison he blew up a major orlesian government building to instigate a chevalier rebellion or tried to have someone do some necromantic blood magic ritual involving uncertain danger and possible sacrifices to bring the innocent children he ordered killed back to life

cw: sorry for writing more bedroom shenanigans, it will happen again. unbeta'd, all mistakes are mine. probably some scientific inaccuracies, except for the inertia bits, that i understand. established relationship things and some light swearing. it's all lighthearted 😇

who needs morning alarms when you're partners with naga!jamil?

the first thing to wake you up is the cold press of his scales against your skin. which is the beginning of the end, sad to say. being part-reptile, of course his instincts bring him to search for the closest heat source. as the warm-blooded one in the relationship, you will make do.

which leads to your current predicament - not the comforting feeling of sleeping in his arms, the upper body situation is all fine and dandy on this side, you like the fabric of his sweater, you (both) deeply crave this kind of skinship, it's all good up here! - his coils are twined around your legs, heavy enough to pin you in place, leaving you vulnerable to the cold of the room. as your eyes crack open, what greets you is the dim blue glow of dawn. of course.

in this world of magic, you'd think they'd have created a kind of blanket that doesn't become utterly useless after several hours of shifting in one's sleep. with your limited movement, you manage to free one arm.

"jamil." you shake his shoulder.

"hmm?"

"can you get up, please? i need to shut off the ac."

to your dismay, he makes a vague sound of protest, curls his arms more protectively around you.

"jamil." he can't seriously be going back to sleep.

"it's still early, and you're all nice and warm..." and wasn't that the twisted miracle of this situation? the fact that you woke up before his alarms?

his languidness has got to be a joke. you've seen him move quicker than a bullet. snakes can haul ass when the situation calls for it. you weigh your options, you could yell 'spider' and risk the consequences of a freshly-awoken-and-panicking jamil.

or you could just freeze. who needs legs? who needs to move? the way his fingers idly stroked against the flesh of your stomach was nice and comforting -

"bullshit, you're also freezing...!" he just liked to see you struggle, didn't he? you try kicking your legs in a last bid to free yourself only for his coils to shift and properly entrap you in their grip.

oh that was unfair, being comprised of mostly muscle and having quick reflexes even when half-asleep. damned naga anatomy.

you heave an exasperated sigh through your nose, not even bothering to hide your annoyance.

jamil's breath fans across the back of your neck. "didn't you want to spend more time together like this?" he asks, faux-dejection creeping into his voice.

the skin of your nape erupts in a flurry of goosebumps, definitely not from the cold. you feel like you're burning, and you're not sure if that's a good thing.

so you decide to roll off the bed and take him down with you.

The decepticons get an Earth bank account and buy some of the stupidest of shit off of human websites: any examples?

One of the problems with being both a nerd and someone with a minor special interest in fragrance and perfume is that I put in a casual throwaway mention of someone's cologne and immediately went "wait what could that be" and proceeded to compile a list of options from MY OWN SAMPLE COLLECTION (bar Eau de Audacity which I've smelled but they didn't have a sample of when I went)

Anyway if anyone wants "warm amber" fragrance recs to imagine your character wearing to a gala, here you go, I've added descriptions but they're usually a vanilla, resin, and/or incense base with some kind of spice, tonka, leather or wood note as the focus (though there are a few surprises), and I've linked their Fragrantica pages for more detail! Several of these are cross-recommended for each other, so if you like one on the list it's worth checking out a couple of the others.

Penhaligon

The World According to Arthur (my all time favourite, wore this to my wedding reception)

Terrible Teddy (another favourite, amber incense and leather)

Eau de Audacity (bold, orange blossom, frankincense and pepper over vanilla and leather)

Le Labo

Vetiver 46 (woody with strong vetiver and spice notes, the vanilla and amber take a back seat)

Kuumba Made

Amber Paste [now discontinued] (Musc Rav's sneaky cheaper alternative; opens pine resiny but quickly settles into a gorgeous vanilla tonka blend that lasts AGES)

Amber & Sandalwood (similar to above with more wood and resin rather than sweet)

Frederic Malle

Musc Ravageur (complex head turner that opens with with lavender, bergamot, then shifts to clove and sandalwood on a vanilla tonka base)

Maison Francis Kurkdjian

Gentle Fluidity Silver (beautifully blended juniper and nutmeg over bergamot, cedar and vanilla, a clean, woody amber)

Grand Soir (hits like vanilla bourbon, softens out as it goes; not for people who have sensitive noses or an aversion to boozy scents)

Diptyque

La Duelle (vanilla-forward with woody and spicy/smoky notes)

everything about Gavriil feels suffocating.

how his presence alone can be almost overwhelming, how his massive body cages you everytime without a chance to escape. you wouldn't dare to try anyway, knowing that you don't even have a say against a creature of his caliber. he will find you. in your dreams, in your nightmares. in your room.

how he will be intense and vague about everything just for the sake of it; to confuse you further, to see the conflict of emotions in your eyes merge with arousal. eventually your hesitance turns into acceptance, a desperate need to feel his hands all over you. and he will be oh so grateful to fulfill that desire.

how his thick tongue pushes past your lips and into your mouth, reaching almost the back of your throat, relishing in the muffled little sounds you make. your drool mixed with his saliva drips down your chin, and your hazy eyes look up at him when he finally pulls away, giving you a second to breathe.

how his hips are slamming into you relentlessly, your wetness and lack of resistance allowing him to move almost effortlessly. forced to hold onto him for dear life instead of pushing away. all of your morals and principles are being tossed out of the window every single time he comes to you. he has you where he wants you, and will not stop until he feels like you can't take it anymore.

and how in the morning he vanishes away, leaving you guessing: was it just another wet dream? but the cold stickiness between your legs tells you more than you need to know.

Guys you have to start going to brick and mortar stores again instead of buying every little damn thing online. I am so serious

[rozicheeks]

I got a demi-god pack from prismatic evolutions and I pulled a Leafeon!!

My friend has an eBay and is already selling cards so he put it up here if anyone is interested 🥺

[cryingpariah]

Crocodile: *handing over a check* Your last paycheck of the year

Jackie: *overly dramatic gasp* Gosh! How will I survive on just this?!

Crocodile: 🫥🫥

Jackie: I’ll get another laugh of out you yet Sir

Crocodile: Last I checked you didn’t get a first

Jackie: *shrug* If you say so! Oh I almost forgot, I’ll be unavailable during these dates *points at calendar*

Crocodile: The post-holiday bulk buying?

Jackie: Even better! I’ve got an all expenses paid weekend getaway trip to Spa Island! It was my Christmas gift from the boss

Crocodile: Did realize that old seabird could be so generous, especially with one of his …. workers

Jackie: 😗😗 I feel like I was about to get a compliment there

Crocodile: *rolls eyes* If you say so

Jackie: 😁😁 Very well, have a good evening Sir Crocodile I’ll be on my-WAY?!

Dragon: *suddenly walking into the room* Wani I think we're out of *sees Jackie* Are you doing an interview?

Jackie: ⭐️0⭐️ OH MY SEAS YOU'RE MONKEY D DRAGON- wait who’s Wani-

[Crocodile sends a wave of sand and chucks Jackie out a nearby open window. He turns to Dragon.]

Crocodile: No I’m not doing an interview. I was just… paying the babysitter

Dragon: 😮➡️🤨 And you’re okay with having her around? Given her profession I would have thought otherwise.

Crocodile: *exasperated sigh* She’s…okay. The boys love her and she truly hasn’t said a word to that foul fowl so I have no real reason to fire her…unless you know anything

Dragon: Most mentions of her in our reports are her helping us in some way. Her true motives remain unclear technically so she's still on our person of interest board.

Jackie: *sitting on the window sill* First and foremost let me just say I am honoured to be on your POI board! You’re on our person of interest board too Mr Dragon! You’re actually on like 5 different boards technically speaking! Also *pulls out notepad and feather pen* Do you have time to answer 1 or 5 or 27 questions?!?!

Crocodile: I Will Get A Hose So Help Me Jackie

trying to pick out new glasses frames hell on earth. can i just be burned at the stake

[my-rose-tinted-glasses]

I'm gonna need bl to stop with all the pain. What is happening? Like I need at least a couple of days in between all this angst. I need a fucking break. This was the cute one. The mini romcom every sunday, yay! I was not suppose to be, once again, drowning in angst. Every day brings a new flavour of pain and I'm not strong enough for this. I don't think I will make it through tomorrow.

elle and emmett from the legally blonde musical are one of those m/f couples that i think work best as a woman and a man purely because their relationship and how elle wouldn't stay at harvard for him because she has grown to want true respect & success more than a man she loves' approval/desire is like so important to the themes of the story and it's the whole point and it's part of what makes them so good. on the other hand emmett could be such a hot butch lesbian it's crazy i want to eat drywall when i think about emmett forrest but a butch lesbian BUT it simply would not improve and in fact would detract from the themes of the story. they have to be m/f

[shiny-meowstics]

pokemon: yeah, we've added more and more shiny locks to starters, legendaries, and mythicals bc we don't want players wasting hours and hours of their time in front of the screen not playing the game the way we want them to play it

also pokemon: let's start distributing shiny mythicals, but only after players have wasted hours and hours of their time catching/trading for every single pokemon for specific dexes, which means they'll also need to literally invest hundreds of dollars into a bunch of half finished games and their dlc's. that or they waste literal weeks of their time if its one of the shiny mythicals that are/have been distributed through Go through paid researches

i was gonna write up a little thing about caesar from new vegas about how people being like "hmm he kinda has a point though" is deeply worrying for the media literacy of our average gamer goon in the modern era. but i realized that no, i'm on tumblr here, i'm preaching to the choir, and whatever i say will never be as funny as this meme; so here
