Blorbo ask game!

Template: X

Pick your favorite blorbo and answer the questions below, then pass it on. Just a little fun and games here and/or can be used for character building: 

The blorbo this time is Figwit (Maenod / Melpomaen). He's bad at picking favorites so prepare for non answers.

What is your blorbo’s: 

1. Favorite season?

The summer. He finds the winter beautiful but he stands up to heat better than the cold.

2. Favorite Food?

He's fond of sweet things, cakes and fruit chief among them. I think his favorite fruit is blackberry.

3. Favorite plant or herb?

He's got a list. The entire viola genus. Violas, violets, pansies. They're all wonderful. The multicolored yellow and purple ones are his favorite.

Violas in Snow 22218-290 by Kathy Whipple Wong+

Dandelions and orchids remind him of his parents (Glorfindel and Erestor, respectively). He's also fond of roses, lavender, and forget-me-nots.

4. Favorite person/being?

It's hard for him to pick one person. But in the timelines where he marries, probably whoever he marries.

5. Favorite place?

In general: libraries, gardens, and close to his loved ones. Geographically: Imladris will always have a special place in his heart. He is absolutely enchanted by the Shire and skirts around Aragorn's ban on entry to it by outsiders by making Sam's acquaintance.

6. Favorite animal?

His horse. Additionally, any horse he ever has or will lay eyes on. Loves his horses. He's very anxious about their care when he goes abroad and prefers to tend to them himself. He also likes butterflies and moths.

7. Favorite drink?

Dandelion tea.

8. Favorite hobby/activity?

He'd probably say something different each time you ask. Calligraphy, translation, transcription, reading, text restoration and preservation, and research are all things he does regularly both at request and for enjoyment. He also enjoys horseback riding and traveling with his friends or family.

9. Do they like to read? If so, favorite genre?

He loves to read. Texts on language and culture, especially if they're either ancient or very current, are his favorite.

10. Do they like to dance?

Yes. 

11. What is their favorite room in the house?

Elrond's house: it's a toss up between his own and the library. Glorfindel and Erestor's cottage: the main room In most other places it's usually the library or archives or other equivalent.

12. Favorite place to travel to?

Fuck if he knows. Lothlorien, for many years. However, when he travels somewhere new, it usually becomes his new favorite place to travel to for a while unless he's found himself there under spectacularly poor circumstances.

13. Who is their best friend?

Erestor is his closest family member and Lindir is his closest friend, though Lindir also operates as family to him.

14. Favorite bioregion?

Out of practicality, more temperate regions are easier for him to handle. Harsher ones are more of challenge but he still enjoys them.

15. Choose one for them: wine, beer, cider, hard liquor, or none?

Cider. As sweet and least alcoholic as possible.

oh hey everybody who followed me from that hornypost welcome to this

[zoo-the-saint]

Boss ask meme:

For Zoo: 17 and 19

For Mel(I know she's not a Boss but you asked 😅): 7 and 9

Thank you for the ask!! 🥺

Zoo

17: which romance option is my headcanon?

So obviously I love Matt x Zoo, but the Boss and Johnny romance option actually inspired me to have Zoo have subtle feelings for Johnny. The feelings were really strong back in SR2 but Zoo back off because Johnny had Aisha, then after her death, Zoo really didn't want to come onto Johnny because he knew he was hurting. So finally having some downtime on the Ship and having Johnny back, Zoo just starts rambling about all of the feelings he's had over the years that he's kept hidden and Johnny just cutting him off. It's honestly my second favorite romance option and it helped me develop Zoo quite a bit.

19: Favorite gun/weapon?

I don't know guns, but Zoo's favorite weapon is dual-wielded black pistols because he's an angsty bitch.

Mel

7: OTP/OT3 pairing?

Okay so for like SR3/SR4 Mel, I genuinely still have no idea who to ship her with. But for SR2, I ship her with Matt (SR2), and then semi-jokingly, her, Matt, Maero, and Jess being two couples that mess around with each other. 😆 I do wanna try to think of more ships for her for later games, though!

9: any family, and who is most important?

So Mel has an older brother and a mom. She has no idea who her dad is because her mom definitely got around, and Mel's brother was in jail for armed robbery when she was born, so he was in prison her entire childhood. She was never close to her mom; Mel's mom had a heavy drug problem, and any money she got went right into drugs. So Mel pretty much ran away and got into the crime life so she could survive. Mel has always been closer to her brother and used to always visit him in jail (their mom never visited him). Now that she's been in the Saints and he's out of jail, she doesn't really know where he's gone, but she feels like he has been avoiding her due to her being involved in crime and him possibly trying to avoid that life.

- What would be your muse's ideal weather conditions? Do they prefer being hot or cold? What's their favorite season

Mel does like being in the sun, that’s true, but her ideal weather is more of a partly cloudy day when the warmth comes mostly from the sun and the wind is cool. She likes being warm, though. She doesn’t want to be cold. And she loves late spring.

dreams aventurine x f!reader

18+ minors/blank/ageless blogs dni, 2.1 spoilers, pregnancy/parenthood

aventurine has never thought of himself as a man who dreams of the future, not beyond a certain point. but there's something about you that makes him doubt himself.

because when he looks at you, when he's near you, when he's inside you, he can't help himself. he thinks about what would happen if he didn't pull out and cum across your ass, your tits, or your stomach, painting your skin in white spurts like he usually does. he thinks about what would happen if he buried himself deep enough for you to feel him in your throat and spilled himself inside of you for once.

what if he didn't climb off of you as soon as he caught his breath. he thinks about what it would be like if he instead stayed there even as he softened, cradled between your thighs, while your arms wrapped around his trembling form to hold him close, your fingers gently running through his sweaty strands, your touch alone doing more to calm his mind than an orgasm ever could.

there are times when he allows himself to imagine beyond even that, but only in his weakest moments when he decides to spend the night, always under the pretense of the late hour, or the bad weather, or how comfortable the bed he bought you is. it's a pretense that you see through, but never challenge him on as you know that doing so would make him leave.

it's only once he's sure that you're deep asleep and he can turn his unguarded gaze to your features in the dark that he dares to let his mind wander beyond the bounds he normally sets. he imagines your stomach swelling as the months pass, of your hand grabbing his to press his palm to your belly to feel the fluttering of new life from within.

he imagines a small bundle pressed to your bare chest, skin-to-skin. you're crying, but so is the newly born infant that you hold so dear. so is he. sometimes, the sunlight shines through the windows of the hospital room, and other times the rain is deafening against the glass.

likewise, sometimes when the baby in your arms opens their eyes to take in the world for the first time, their color mirrors yours. but more often than not, it's his own pink and blue irises looking back at him, promising a life of good luck.

he imagines the feeling of a small palm pressed flat against his own much bigger one, as a young, tiny voice stumbles over the words he tries to guide them through.

he pictures the smile on your face, both adoring and soft, as you watch with tear-filled eyes as he teaches your child the blessing of their people.

as long as you are alive, the blood of the avgin will never run dry.

no matter how many years have passed since he was taken from sigonia in chains, he'll never forget his sister's final words to him. but when he looks at you, when he's near you, when he's inside you, they feel like more than just a memory.

it feels like she's speaking to him across the years, to him now, trying to guide him towards this single future with you instead of any of the infinite other futures he bets everything on.

maybe, if he chose to listen to her, there could be another avgin for gaiathra to bless. maybe, if he ever chose to give in to his weakness, to your warmth, to your softness, to your love, the avgin wouldn't have to live and die with him.

[exlibrisfangirl]

Me, who has been in constant, debilitating pain for months: Can I have a break? Please?

My absolute trash-fire of a body: lol nOPE

Me, exhaused and weary of living in survival mode for so long: Okay then... how about... one good sleep? Just one?

My body: Sorry, buddy. Can't do that either.

Me: ...

My body: ...

Me: ...

Me: Fine. Maybe I will just... die

My body: *kill bill sirens* NOT ALLOWED

[melpomaen]

Does Mel ever question whether or not he should call Erestor and Glorfindel his parents?

No.

Being unable to know his birth parents is a loss that will always be there, but he was taken to Rivendell too young to remember a time it wasn't home. Glorfindel and Erestor are the ones who raised him and loved him.

In verses where he reconnects with blood relatives, he may worry that calling Erestor and Glorfindel his parents might be taken poorly, but he doesn't stop thinking of them as such.

Partying the only way i know how: smoking a bowl and listening to the tatinof audio book alone in my apartment 😎

[melverie]

Lesson 10 and 11 were great btw

tbh I wouldn't mind if the rest of the season continues on like this

[lea-sbian]

Practice for differing facial types using some head-canon facial designs for the portal girlies, and a complete redesign for the portal reloaded and aperture tag girls cause I think it would be more interesting than them just being recolored chell.
