#I feel you sharr

[akutasoda]

Yay! Requests are open!

Can I please request BSD men with an eerie fem! s/o? Not gn.

Like, breathing is always very light, footsteps are silent and even the sounds of her internal organs (heartbeat, blood flowing through her veins) is very faint, she's always smiling and is almost mechanical in her movements and actions. She's her most genuine when giving them affection, is a very pleasant and sweet person but there's just something....off..about her. Like a subconscious feeling they can't quite place but ignore because they love her.

-Sincerely, 💋

mechanical affection

synopsis - how are they when they s/o is eerie and rather ominous

includes - dazai, ranpo, fyodor, jouno

warnings - fem!reader (no pronouns mentioned however), fluff, wc - 900

osamu dazai ★↷

↪dazai had met his fair sharre of 'creepy' people throughout his youth, but none of them ever actually scared him or made him slightly uncomfortable. you were the first.

↪what scared him the most was how mechanical you seemed. your actions and expressions seemed too robotic to be your genuine feelings and movements. no part of it seemed biological.

↪he cared little for how quiet your heartbeat and such was. he normally couldn't hear people's heartbeats and he could control his own so that probably was the least eerie part about you.

↪ however the lack of sound when you moved or breathed did put him on edge to begin with. it was too silent for him to let his guard down but when he got used to your presence - and your more sweeter side - he didn't mind too much.

↪ speaking of sweeter side, it did surprise him at first but he loved it. a weird sort of happiness surged through him when you gave him genuine affection for two reasons. one, the fact that only he recieved this sid eof you and two, he'd never recieved this level of affection before and getting it from you? it became a great comfort.

↪if the mafia raught him anything, it was that he should always be on guard around suspicious people. whenever you were around he couldn't help but want to apply that to you.

↪a constant nagging voice telling him to run or be careful was around when you were near. but maybe this one time he'd ignore it.

ranpo edogawa ★↷

↪the world's greatest detective was known for solving cases and everything to do with his work. a part of that would make him great at reading people and so he barely feared anyone. but when it came down to you and the nagging fear you implanted in the back of his head, he felt helpless.

↪your presence made him uncomfortable to be simple. it was a nagging put of dread that he couldn't get rid of because he couldn't read you. your silence to eerie for him to be comfortable anyway. he sometimes compared you to a ghost or some sort of spectre because of this.

↪he also hated the fact that you acted so unnatural and mechanical. everything about you from your expressions to your movements was so eerie. but weirdly enough he became accustomed to it.

↪he started veiwing it as a challenge. he became motivated to be able to finally understand you and rid himself of thsi dread you installed in him. and a good starting place was when you showed him genuine affection.

↪yes it did catch him off guard, but he quickly became accustomed to a more genuine and affectionate you behind closed doors. you became not so eerie and instead rather sweet. he still didn't fail to notice the fight or flight in his brain around you still.

fyodor dostoevsky ★↷

↪it took a vey long time for fyodor to come to trust you even a tiny bit. it would be the first time somebody's presence would cause him to be on edge, to think something was wrong and that made him distance himself from you.

↪but eventually that fear turned into a weird, sort of morbid curiosity. why did you cause him to fear you? was it the mechanical actions you would show. or was it how every part of you was eerie and too irregular.

↪fyodor only liked people he could read. they were predictable per say, easy to understand and therefore caused him no threat but from time to time some people could change that. your seemingly mechanical actions made you impossible to read and he wanted to know why.

↪he became even more curious when he gave him genuine care. your once eerie aura seemingly melted away as you showed him a sweeter side that he weirdly loved. but even when you showed affection that nagging fear still lurked.

saigiku jouno ★↷

↪ it's safe to say he barely knew you existed to begin with. he couldn't hear your heartbeat and such unless he really focused on the faint sound - leasing to him sometimes having the uncomfortable feeling someone was with him if you were around.

↪he hates it really, he can't hear your breathing or footsteps either so he truly has no idea where you could be at any given time. it really threw him off guard as it made him feel vulnerable around you.

↪he had heard from others how they'd complain about how mechanical you looked and some twisted part of him found some joy in knowing how some people feared you for this. sometimes he'd actually wish he could see it.

↪ however he did still indulge himself in your more sweeter side - the side he felt pride in knowing only he recieved. your genuine kindness did throw him a bit at first but he accustomed to it and enjoyed it.

↪he even ignored the constant nagging pit of dread in the back of his mind telling him to run, to fight, to get away from you just so he could indulge himself in your kindness.

↪the only time he could ever hear your heartbeat was when you two were hugging. and so this made the action treasured and all the more endearing for him.

Hi CC!

I'm not surr whether you have anseered a similar ask before or not, but what is something the ROs want to hear, need to hear, and dread to hear from the MC?

If you have is it possible to sharr me the link?😅

No this had not been asked before. lol

Barlow wants to hear: You're the only one for me.

Barlow dreads to hear: We need to talk.

Mattos wants to hear: I think I'm ready to spend my day, cooking with you and then cuddling on the sofa.

Mattos dreads to hear: We're having a party tonight and I want you to wear formal clothes. No sweatpants.

Fiffer wants to hear: Wanna come shower with me?

Fiffer dreads to hear: We don't have money, and we might not be able to afford the next payment for the house.

Green wants to hear: I'm planning to work late tonight, feel free to join me. It's only going to be the two of us in the conference room.

Green dreads to hear: I found another job and this is my two weeks' notice.

Monroe wants to hear: What should we try next? (IYKYK)

I don't think there's anything Monroe would dread to hear, but for the purpose of this ask let's go with:

Monroe dreads to hear: I don't like your family!

Monroe love their family so that would sting a little knowing that MC doesn't get along with them.

Soooo, those Mindflayer eyes...

While I’ve been playing BG3 on and off since early access released, I’ve never really dove that deep into it until a few days ago, so I’m so sorry if this is already a heavily discussed topic in fandom! But one thing that’s always stuck out to me are the Mindflayers, specifically how they’re always described as having pale, milky eyes throughout the majority of DnD history;

[...] Their eyes, sheltered by brow ridges, were uniformly pale and devoid of pupils in addition to being bloated and featureless, similar to those of blind cave fish.

Yet Larian seems to have made a point of giving them actual humanoid eyes, complete with iris and pupils. Not only that, they feature it heavily on promotional artwork. Like compare the eyes of the game’s Mindflayer -

- with what up until recently has been the canon Mindflayer -

It’s a very clear and striking difference, almost complete polar opposite in that they went from bland and non-descript to piercing and radiant.

Now I kind of shrugged it off and was happy to just note it down as artistic liberty, until I started a new playthrough yesterday and realised there’s someone else in the game who has the same eyes as our Cthulhuian friends.

That someone is Raphael:

What’s more, after losing myself in the Larian forums for a bit, I stumbled upon this post from user Ulla G in a thread about the Absolute;

They describe how in earlier patches, whenever they got to the first dream scene where you can hear Daisy’s voice going “Where are you?” as you go to bed, they continuously got a glitch where they saw a wing tip hovering over their Tav, which they then linked to Raphael when they saw his true form in his introduction scene.

There’s also continuous references throughout the game itself that the tadpole inside your head seems to be altered, which made me almost feel the ! appear above my head when I got the “charmed in more ways than one”-line from Raphael when you choose to introduce yourself to him in camp -

Plus, there’s something odd going on with Daisy and the tadpole.

I always thought they were one and the same, but whenever Daisy seems to be getting close to getting Tav to give in to their seduction, there’s always a vivid recoil coming from somewhere inside, as well as a murderous lust for blood and barely suppressed violence in later scenes which is aimed directly at Daisy themselves.

Could it be that Daisy is not the manifestation of the tadpole, but instead represents an outside force that’s instead responsible for altering it?

Tinfoil Hat Time™

Are the Mindflayers we see in-game charmed? Are they under the influence of someone else?

There’s a common theme running throughout at least Early Access of people bearing loyalty to or at least doing the bidding of either a person or a force that’s in reality actually manipulating them - Lae’zel and Vlaakith, Astarion and Cazador, Wyll and Mizora, Shadowheart and the Sharr worshippers, the Druids and Kagha, the Goblins and the Absolute. Are the Mindflayers victims of this too?

The Absolute seems to be tied to The Three somehow, and considering Edowin and his siblings have clear instructions to find and kill any survivors of the Mindflayer crash, they don’t seem to be in cahoots.

The fact the Mindflayer ship was immediately attacked by devils when it came to Avernus seems to speak against Devil influence, despite the potential link to Raphael’s eyes and his seeming knowledge of what’s actually happening. Unless Raphael is also working for an outside force. Or unless he isn’t tied to the traditional Devils at all.

In the tutorial phase on the ship, if you manage to keep the Mindflayer alive while killing the devil Commander and all the other devilkin at the helm, you get a sweet sword the Mindflayer turns against you and says you’re no longer needed before he attempts to kill you, even though you still bear the tadpole. Does this mean the altered tadpole and Tav&Co’s untransformed state are completely separate from what the Mindflayers were originally intending to do? (Why kill Tav and the other tadpole-bearers in the first place, when they could be useful Thralls?)

Where does the Githyanki artefact fit into this?

How does the conflict between Sharr and Selûne play into it all?

Is there a connection to the constant references to Netheril? 

To the Weave, to the attempt on Mystra’s life and seat, orchestrated by Sharr 109 years ago? (potential interesting tidbit; if a devil dies outside of Baator, it takes them 99 years to regenerate)

I don’t even know where I’m going with all this, I just needed to blurt all my thoughts into words somewhere and get some facts straight, I guess. I haven’t been this excited to figure out a story in a while. I am so intrigued by every little snippet Larian throws our way, and I am so so so so so stoked for August 3rd to see how this will all play out~

[ferinehuntress]

◈　 ⇢  @he-who-meddles　 ⋯　 Umprompted Ask . 　　　❝ Nightsong, sing for us o' Nightsong, the disciples of Sharr mock from behind their grim masks as they flit between the eternal shadows ever closer. Nightsong, weep for us o' Nightsong, they jeer as they cleave and cut with gleaming blades her porcelain flesh from bone. Divine life splatters across the stone dias, cracks are hewn into the immortality of her person, all to precede the wretched finale of that fell spear lancing her heart to the cry of Nightsong, Nightsong, o' Nightsong... only to rouse again in darkness, ever surrounded by the darkness of Shadowfell. A wheel of pain ever circling onward, onward, interrupted only by the offering of a gruesome claw and a voice that does not demand but inquire only ever by her name. "Aylin. Bargain with me, Aylin." ❞

The winged Aasimar fought, she defied the shadowed zealots as they stood around her. One of their own had finished the gauntlet and was here to claim her prize. She glowered at the brunette, the sneer on her lips as she flourished her blade.

"Cowards!" Aylin exclaimed as she tried to pull her arm away, but the mage's hands had twisted into a set of chains, pulled upward and attached to the floating rocks above. Cowards, every last one. They couldn't even face her in a proper fight, left in chains as she hissed when blade met flesh. It weaved into her body, slicing at flesh, gashes opened up as her ruby-red blood stained the ground. Still, she continued to resist the temptation of crying out, knowing that was their challenge, their purpose. To make the Nightsong sing, as they like to say. For her voice to echo screams in this shadowfell. She could see Shar, overcast in the distance with a cruel smile on her lips.

Not only did she have a Selunite in her possession, but none other than the daughter of Selune herself. A prize, a trophy, one she would flaunt in front of her sister for as long as she was caged in this place. The slice of the knife cut against her underarm as Aylin gritted her teeth and nearly bit her tongue in the process. She violently pulled against her chain, unable to fight against the sadistic behavior of these initiates. "I will not, I will NOT GRANT YOU YOUR SONG!" Aylin screamed out toward the soon-to-be justiciar, as the others chanted, and the blade slammed into her gut.

A gasp of pain echoed in her lips but still no cry. However, the tears did start to fall, the pain coursing her body as she took more than what was humanly possible. Her wings thrashed behind her, also chained to the ground so that she could not even use her powerful wings to throw these zealots off the rock. The cry of pain finally came went the sword met the base of her wing, knawing and slicing through as Aylin let out a gut-wrenching scream. As soon as it echoed off the rocks, did the justiciars cheer. She lost the battle, every time. Desperation made her cling to any hope to not give in, and yet she couldn't.

The final act of defiance was the tear-streaked glower, as she looked up and the spear slammed into her heart she couldn't even cry at that point. Death was brief, as her head hung down, lifeless with blood staining the entire ground.

How long had it been? The whisper of her name caused her head to shake, chains no longer holding her (until the next initiate came through). Her hands pressed down against the rock as she looked at her chest. The wound healed, for now, but the golden scar started to grow greater and more prominent each time she was stabbed. "Bargain?" Venom left her lips, unsure of who it was. Perhaps another Sharran trick, as she slowly pushed herself up onto her knees but nearly collapsed forward once again. Her throat burned forward water, her stomach ached for food. Fingers reached back to feel her wings had grown back. She must have been out for a week if not two. The blood was dry on the ground, but it was starting to turn the rock rusted red.

"Why would I bargain with the likes of you, Charlatan? Come out of the shadows, and dare face the might  of the Moon Warrior!" Aylin shouted, trying to form some pretense of power despite her helpless predicament. She knew who it was, this creature of shadows, always asking for a bargain. How many years had it been? Time passed differently in the shadowfell, but she knew it had to be a few years at least, perhaps a decade already.

It was all she had, was her words. She clung to them like moss on a tree.

🦇 We Hunt the Flame Book Review 🦇

❓ #QOTD What was the last epic fantasy you read? ❓ 🦇 People lived because she killed. People died because he lived. Zafira is the Hunter, disguising herself as a man when she braves the cursed forest of the Arz to feed her people. Nasir is the Prince of Death, assassinating those foolish enough to defy his autocratic father, the sultan. If Zafira was exposed as a girl, all of her achievements would be rejected; if Nasir displayed his compassion, his father would punish him in the most brutal of ways. Both Zafira and Nasir are legends in the kingdom of Arawiya--but neither wants to be.

🦇 War is brewing and the Arz sweeps closer, engulfing the land in shadow. To save her family, Zafira embarks on a quest to uncover a lost artifact that can restore magic and stop the Arz. Nasir is sent by the sultan on a similar mission: retrieve the artifact and kill the Hunter. But an ancient evil stirs as their journey unfolds--and the prize they seek may pose a threat greater than either can imagine. Will they make it out alive, or find something more than the prize they were sent to find?

💜 Mashallah! I'm going to try and HORRIBLY fail to convey my love for this book (you can totally tell I'm a writer some days, can't you?). We Hunt the Flame is everything you romantasy lovers could ever ask for with an eloquent grasp of language most writers could only hope to achieve. Hafsah Faizal's Middle Eastern-inspired fantasy transcends pen and page. Her characters are brutally flawed, aching with familial pressures, loss, and pain, clinging to thin threads of hope for more; each with unique voices, motivations, and quirks that bring them off the page and into our homes (and hearts). Your feet will crunch over the ice of Demenhur, traverse the Sharr's forestry, tiptoe across glossy tiled floors of Sultan's Keep. With every breath, you'll smell kibbeh garnished with mint or the zest of Kifah's rich spices over rabbit, taste the tang of zataar or rich qahwa against your tongue. You know I love when stories make a character's culture relatable through food, but reading We Hunt the Flame had me craving ma'amoul and katayef in the worst way. Okay, getting side-tracked.

💜 If the vivid imagery and powerful prose don't capture you, the characters will. Zafira is burdened with responsibility yet forced to hide her identity as a woman under a hook and cloak, presenting her accomplishments as those of a man. She feeds her entire village, expecting and receiving nothing in return. Her heart is heavy with grief and guilt--much as Nasir's is. That parallel creates a foundation for their slow-burn romance, their chemistry undeniable but their sense of duty, guilt, and heavy hearts getting in the way. Oh, and Nasir was sent to kill Zafira, so that's an issue, too. (Sneaking back into this review after reading We Free the Stars: khara, it gets SO MUCH MORE INTENSE!!!). They're snippy and bitter with one another, those quick barbs adding to the tension between them, and yet there's a spark of mutual respect and understanding they've never found in anyone else. If you love an "I hate everyone but you" kind of romance, this is it!

💜 Speaking of snipe, Altair. Sweet baby boy, his sass is EVERYTHING. Altair and Nasir's bromance (*coughs*) is an enemies to besties mess in the making. Alongside our other side characters, Benyamin and Kifah, these five create a found family "zumra" you'll absolutely adore.

💙 My only issue was the pacing, slowed due to the amount of introspection. Zafira and Nasir aren't the type of characters to talk out their feelings with others; of COURSE they're going to internalize everything. While I recognize that this was the only way the story would work, it did cause the story to drag at certain points. I also guessed at a few things, but Faizal sprinkled the breadcrumbs of her story with care, creating an intricate tapestry that unites the zumra and their individual threads into a singular epic.

🦇 Recommended for all romantasy fans, namely fans of Ember in the Ashes, Rebel of the Sands, The Wrath & the Dawn, Spice Road, and The City of Brass.

Assign the anonverse characters a Baldurs gate 3 character that either fits their personality or who they're most likely to fall in love with

OH YOU GOT ME RIGHT IN THE HYPERFIXATION

There might be spoilers because I'm apparently one of three people who have actually gotten through act 3/j

Lust - Astarion: they've both either been conditioned by someone else or have conditioned theirself to use sexual advances to get their way. And when they find someone they love they'll do anything they can to protect that person even if it costs them everything.

Wrath - Karlach: so whole Karlach is a bit more goofy than Wrath. They both use their rage to keep themselves safe/to hurt others when they need to. They're both dorks with hearts of gold who just wanna be loved at the end of the day.

Pride - Shadowheart: make Damien Sharr and we've got the whole crisis of faith all over again. They both believe that listening to the person they've followed this whole time is the right thing to do and that they can't leave because of the consequences (ex. They'll have nothing left)

If we're talking about who the three would fall in love with I'd say

Lust would fall for either Halsin or Wyll. Halsin because he would help them move past their trauma and help them grow as a person because of his experiences with life. While Wyll he's just so kind and such a good guy, I don't think he'd give up on them.

Wrath I could see falling for Gale since they'd both been hurt by former lovers (even if Gale doesn't see it that way and blames himself.) Or Lae'zel because hot lady step on me/hj

Pride - okay imma admit this one was a bit harder to think of. But I feel it'd be Wyll. Again he's just such a good guy and he'd actually care for Pride and show him how a real partner cares for someone.

I did only do the non Canon characters but If you want more just ask. But it'll take me a bit considering how long this was lol

[anduln]

Be warned Pandaria's plot is racist as well and is actually popular among real world white supremacists if you want to hear?

i knew mop was racist as hell (i mean it's full of chinese stereotypes), just like zandalar, but i didn't know it was regarded as a favorite among WS, though of course it makes sense. please feel free to sharr more about it anon, i think it's important that we know what types of games we're playing

[alzaeemadel]

O Allah, if there is hatred in our hearts, change it to love. O Allah, if our hearts are dirty, make them clean. O Allah, if our hearts are broken, heal them. O Allah, see our tears. O Allah, change the sorrow of anyone reading this prayer into happiness. O Allah, reserve Your mercy for us, Your servants who love You so much. O Allah, Forgive our sins.

Ya Allah, I pray to YOU to increase my patience, strengthen my faith and help me walk through this difficult journey. Many a times I forget Your presence, many a times I choose to walk the wrong path and I have never thank You enough. Sure I do say Alhamdulillah, whenever I can but it would never be enough. Your holy words have touched me. Your signs amazes me. But why do I still choose to follow my corrupted heart and do things that I am not supposed to? I pray to You to not only help me but also my family members who might also feel in despair at times(I may never know). Let’s not stop at only family, I pray to You for everyone I’ve known or I have yet to meet. Ya Allah, please forgive me for not adhering to Your rules. I have been bad for not listening to You but I am trying my best here. ...Amin Rabbil Alamin...

Allahumma aslih li deeni alladhi huwa ‘ismatu amri, wa aslih li dunyaya allati fiha ma’ashi, wa aslih li akhirati allati ilayha ma’adi, waj’al al-hayata ziyadatan li fi kulli khayr, wa’l-mawta rahatan li min kulli sharr

(O Allah, correct my religious commitment which is the foundation of my life, and correct my worldly affairs in which is my livelihood, and grant me good in the Hereafter to which is my return. Make my life a means of accumulating good, and make death a respite for me from all evil...

[devilrosola]

pairing SinEn ( because I have too xD )

Also characters, Sharrkan pls ( because he is too adorable to not to involve him ) 😉

hooo boy...yeh...

SinEn

002 | send me a ship and I will tell you:

when of if I started shipping it. Probably when we RPed? No, it was probably thanks to that one doujin. 

my thoughts: They can be equal. {Granted Sin has 7 djinn while Kouen has 3, but no one else has had more than these two, so it's as close as canon lets us get. And Sin is a King while Kouen is a Prince, but still seen as king by his people} Point is, Sinbad was this great indomitable perfect mary sue character and then comes along someone that could stand his ground against him. If they ever got over their differences and work towards the same goals together like World Peace, they could be a real power couple.

What makes me happy about them: Fighting over Ja'far ahem I mean, witty banters as they try to be diplomatic. I like how in that one doujin they were in both positions at different times

What makes me sad about them: They don’t get along

things done in fanfic that annoys me: There's fanfics about them? Other than mine I guess where one completely domineers over the other.

things I look for in fanfic: Equality

My kinks: Djinn equips? Now Zepar & Agares equips together would just be cute and innocent but think about Valefor & Asaroth fire and ice dynamics here! And I'm sure Kouen is breathtaking in Phenex equip

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:  For Sinbad-- myself, um how much can I diverge from the canon for this answer since he expressly said he had no intention of being tied down? Well...give him a big slice of humble pie and then we can talk. (and really, there’s most sin ships I’m be okay with) How about Yunan so he can whap Sin with his fishing-pole-wand whenever Sin does something stupid? For Kouen-- Ja’far, Muu, Yamuraiha, OCs, again I’m generally open Once saw a fic with him and Spartos, and another with him and either Spartos or Mystras. I can’t quite remember and I can’t find the fic.

My happily ever after for them: I haven’t gotten that far... >.>;;;

Sharrkan

003 | Give me a character & I will tell you

How I feel about this character:  Sorry, Imma be honest with you. I hate him. If he wasn't so full of himself that'd be a different story. Little shy SnB Sharr before taking Masrur's advice would have been more bearable. Sure I found him hot when I first saw him, but he lost me as soon as he showed his ego.

All the people I ship romantically with this character:  No one XD Although his love-at-first-site crush with Yam was cute back when they were little

My non-romantic OTP for this character:  Haven’t thought about it. He’s not exactly close with his brother. I guess him and Pisti making trouble together? *Ja’far yeets them out the window*

My unpopular opinion about this character:  I’ll take his brother over him.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: Wish he didn’t misinterpret Masrur’s advice of being like Sin (give her compliments vs womanize and drink) I know I know Magi came first and that was made later to explain his current personality. I wish he’d realize that insulting Yam is NOT the way to win her heart.

my het ship: Sharrkan with an OC’s sister (but then she breaks his heart bc she doesn’t want to commit--good news for Yam though?)

my fem/slash ship: ig Masrur/Sharrkan is a popular one? You want me to say SharrHa though don’t ya? 😏

my OTP: I suppose mini SharrYam in an AU where he’s gets over his awkwardness?

my OT3: Oh hmmmmm....now we’re talking... (other than that Sin/Mas/Sharr doujin nothing is coming to mind though)

my cross over ship: Haven’t thought about it

my kink: Have him tied up?

a head cannon fact: Belly buttons still bother him? Even with how rampant they’re shown off in Sindria.

my gender bend: Now the confidence would look good on her

[sands-of-arawiya]

Interviewer: Why did you go to Sharr?

Benyamin: To make for my mistakes.

Zafira: To prove I was someone of honor.

Altair: To feel I wasnt what my mother thought of me.

Nasir: To fulfill my task.

Kifah: the fuck. My father rUINED ME litterally everything I do is to rub it in his disgusting little face was that not clear you dumb bitch?? i am of the nine elite, a skilled warrior, even the safi come to me and this was supposed to be a quick bring magic back camping trip but nooo im stuck with a dead immortal, self absorbed king, and these two touch starved insecure soulmates making everything more touchy feely than it should’ve been do you understand what ive been through?? what i am going through?? I don’t think so you worthless piece of shit

[mystickinds]

Hey! Sorry to hear you are not in a good place rn, let's see if I can try to make you feel better at least a little:)

Okay, so I met very nice people on here, like I wasn't feeling v good either but all of them were so nice and said a lot of nice words and comforted me so well. I am feeling a lot better, you know what people say, a pain divided in half is indeed halved and it is true. I am proud of you coming here and sharing abt not feeling well. You came to the right place.

You know, sometimes people just hold a door for you or kids share their toys and I feel it is such a blessing... all these little things make me feel so hopeful! The little gestures, those are worth everything. You may not see them often, but they will come to you when you need them the most, be sure of this. I am sure you can sharr a few too, maybe a dog smelled your hand or a cat came near you.

This was my dog btw, the bestest of all the boys, and you can tell by how of a weirdo he looks in the pics. He is such a comforting presence even now. And the angry black kitty was my kitty too lol, she never really liked snow and always showed that lol

I do hope they can make you smile a little:)

Take care, have a strong hug and please come to my dms for whatever you may need, okay? Remember to stay hydrated too! 🍩🥤💞🫂

That's how I feel right now, overwhelmed but so grateful and in awe with the nice uplifting messages I've been getting, i guess I just didn't expect it but it means the world to me. I'm happy to hear you had the same experience and glad you're doing better!

I don't think I've heard that saying before but i love it and thank you, i definitely am so glad I reached out. I usually wouldn't and suffer in silence but seeing all the messages has gotten my mind off things.

You're so right , sometimes it's the little things that make you feel the most alive. ❤️ Those are the things i hold on to.

Awww he the bestest of all boys and the cutest! 10/10 doggo and your kitty looks like it wants to kill cause it's out in the snow hehe. Thank you for sharing!

My first tumblr book review is We Hunt the Flame by @hafsahfaizal

The book alternates POV’s between Zafira bint Iskandar, the Demehune Hunter and Nasir Ghameq, the Prince of Death, a feared assassin as they embark on a similar quest. Zafira’s, to bring back the lost Jawarat and restore magic to Arawiya. Nasir’s, to kill Zafira after she retrieves the Jawarat and bring it back to his father, the sultan. However, the danger of the location the Jawarat is in—an island called Sharr—begins to force Nasir and Zafira together and force them into a camaraderie.

Faizal’s writing is eloquent and richly detailed, as rich and intricate as the world she’s created. Arawiya, based on ancient Arabia, is filled with detail and impeccable world building. Personally, it’s refreshing to read about a world that isn’t based off of Europe or European colonies.

The story is filled with wonderful twists and turns that are hard to pinpoint but not implausible in the world that Faizal has created with writing that feels beloved and lived in. Every plot twist makes sense in accordance with the characters personalities and the world building in general.

Zafira and Nasir’s stories, with their personal complications and weaknesses, will have you feeling sympathetic for them even in times where it feels that you shouldn’t.

Overall, We Hunt the Flame is a deliciously dark read with twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat and romantic writing and glorious tension that will make it difficult to put down. I rated it 5/5 on Goodreads, and I give it the same rating here; I’m highly anticipating what happens in the sequel, We Free the Stars

NSFW dialogue prompt meme // Closed // @zorkaya​

“You know, I could always get you off right here, right now.”

Moments before Sinbad’s alone time with the frigid beauty. “My king, are you prepared to travel to Heliohapt?” Spoke Sharrkan towards his king, Sinbad of course was more than ready for a trip there. The drinks were delicious and the women were gorgeous as well, the look on both Sharr and Sin’s faces told the story of what went through their minds, Ja’far saw it from afar and only sighs under his breath. He was gathering the courage to do something dastardly, something incredibly drastic. 

Ja’far had found himself in the presence of Zarina, he'd noticed she had been around as of late..much to his dismay when it came to Sinbad’s vices but she DOES do a great job of damage control when it came down to Sinbad and his habits. But she transforms his professional request and makes it vulgar. “You want me to distract him by fucking his brains out.” Honestly the sentence alone made him flush in embarrassment as he cast his gaze towards the side. “When you put it like that..agh will you?” 

And the rest as they say is history. Sinbad was in his chambers preparing for the trip until he saw Zarina entering his room. His gaze loomed over her, he was curious. Why was she here? Not that her presence was bad, it was still so nice to see her. “How can I help you, are you coming on this trip with me? I think you should. It would be like old times.” Spoke the king as he turned to face her. A reunion of this magnitude will be great and it’d be like the old days, maybe they could even have their usual competition when it came to wooing the local beauties but before he could even put the challenge into words he felt her lips crashing against his own.

The kiss was heated, she even pressed her body up against him. This seems almost too good to be true, as if it was on purpose. Feeling those curves of hers against his own flesh, the fact that her body had no rival in this world, she even guided his own hands against her own thighs before her own hands snaked within his robes, taking a hold of his member and teasing him with a few strokes of her hand. It was enough to warrant a light moan past his lips as his amber eyes met her own. There was NO way they had the time for this, considering he needed to be at the ship soon until she made her verbal threat. “Oh sorry Rina, we don’t have the time for right here and right now..”
