Sleeping headcanon!!!

Yeah so Strike can't sleep alone. Like, at all.

He is able to sleep despite being a 'drow' because of Bhaal's design, but when he's asleep and his mind is weakened, he's far more likely to submit to Bhaal's influence (why he kills the bard in his sleep).

He did that before the tadpoles, too; if he falls asleep without anyone to hold onto, he usually wakes up screaming in a matter of minutes because of horrible nightmares he no doubt suffers. Back at the temple, he would solve that issue by sleeping with Bhaalists and letting them share his bed for the night, or by simply keeping corpses in his bed to cuddle up to, and later by simply going to Gortash's; but it gets complicated when he's at the camp post-tadpoles. Lae'zel help and Astarion eventually help.

for buddie "i can't lose you"

Hi Nolan 🥰 (I love this one!!!) (might use it in a full fic even 👀)

"I can't lose you," Buck says, his gaze focused on the fading scar. He trails his fingertips over the raised skin, feels the warmth of Eddie beneath him. Eddie cards his fingers through the curls at the back of Buck's head, massaging lightly. "I'm still here," he says, soft but sure. Buck sniffs. "You almost weren't." Eddie wraps his arm around Buck and holds him against his chest, pulling the covers back over them after Buck had thrown them off in is his nightmare. "We can't predict what's going to happen to either of us," he says, looking into Buck's eyes. "But I will promise you that I will always fight to come home to you and Chris." Buck smiles and holds him tighter. He presses his lips to the scar that eventually brought them together. "You know I will too." Eddie presses a kiss to his curls. "Yeah, I know you will."

Send a ship and a sentence and I'll continue it!

3 C ? Maybe Steve cuddling up to Eddie, being a touch starved menace? Him just being annoying (obviously Eddie loves it) and getting into Eddie's space or something.

if it sparks joy ♡♡♡

Both you and @medusapelagia had the same idea almost at the same time si I’m answering to the first ask :D

[featheryhoe]

«rp starter» 💞

he’s passed out on a couch in one of the smaller living rooms of the palace, an ankle brace for minor injuries on one side and some unfinished project for whatever he’s designing this time on the other.

despite being asleep, it didn’t look like a restful sleep, but what could anyone expect from passing out late at night on a couch? that’s clearly not the most restful sleep possible

🧡, 💉, 🌊? Eh? Ehhhhh? Also I love reading your works from time to time☺️

Hii love!! Thank u so much<3 For this ask game!

🧡 What is your sexuality? I'm bisexual! For the most part of my childhood I thought I was a lesbian, but I came out of the closet as a bisexual when I was around 13. :3

💉Do you have tattoos and/or piercings? I do! I have an entire leg sleeve and 5 other tattoos on my knee and leg, as well as my right arm. I'm planning on getting a sleeve tattoo similar to the one Simon has soon enough. 👀 I have my septum, tongue and nipples pierced! Though my tongue piercing is probably closed after I had to remove the jewelry for emergency surgery. x_x

🌊 A kink you would like to write but you think you’d be judged? CNC as a receiver! I think most people see it as a huge taboo irl, and I'm too shy to ask for it even if I really wanted to. efnbjhkjhfbejbhf

65 Question OC Polycule Ask Game

Do you have a bunch of OCs in a polycule? Do you have the burning desire to answer questions about them? Look no further for an excuse to talk about it!   There are footnotes under the cut to explain some potentially unfamiliar terminology. Remember to send an ask to the person you reblog it from to make sure everyone gets to play!

How insecure was each member when starting their polyamorous journey? In what ways?

How did each member overcome their insecurities about relationships? Have they at all?

Wild card! Ask anything you can imagine!

[1] Mono-poly: a relationship that contains both a monogamous and polyamorous person; the monogamous person is only dating one polyamorous partner, but that partner might have other partners in addition to their monogamous partner.

[2] Metamour: the members of a polycule who are dating the same person or people, but aren’t dating each other.

[3] Solo: presents to the world as single at first glance; may not want to live with any partner, or if they do, they may not choose to share finances or property.

Entwined: prefers relationships that are more entwined practically, financially, or both; values sharing living space, spending time in close proximity, sharing financial or household obligations, etc.; may see themselves as part of a unit, a single family that shares responsibilities together and approaches life together.

Definitions taken from “More Than Two” by Franklin Veaux and Eve Rickert

[4] Free Agent: values personal autonomy highly, places importance on the ability to make their own decisions, and presents to the world as able to act without requiring permission from others; places responsibility for decision-making, and for bearing the consequences, on each person individually.

Community Oriented: focuses on the interconnectedness of their relationships and their community; decisions are made with an eye toward how they might fit with the others.

Definitions taken from “More Than Two” by Franklin Veaux and Eve Rickert

[5] Hierarchical Polyamory: a kind of polyamory in which the members of the polycule are split into “primary” partners, “secondary” partners, “tertiary” partners, and so on. The higher “ranked” members are given more priority when it comes to spending time together, living arrangements, major life decisions, and overall have more control over the state of the polycule than the lower ranked members. This is in contrast to non-hierarchical polyamory, in which there is no ranking system, all relationships are treated with equal weight, and decisions are made as a group. There is no one proper way to practice polyamory, and both methods can be fulfilling for people who have different needs for their relationships.

[6] Unicorn: stereotypically, a young bisexual woman that is equally attracted to both primary members of a hierarchical polycule or a recently opened monogamous relationship, agrees to give both members equal attention, and agrees to have no additional partners. Referred to as “unicorns” because these strict requirements for a dynamic are basically impossible to find.

[7] Unicorn Hunter(s): stereotypically, the primary members of a hierarchical polycule or a recently opened monogamous relationship who relentlessly search for a “unicorn” to perfect their ideal polyamorous dynamic. Often have very strict requirements of their unicorn, which is why they’re constantly hunting for someone who can fulfill them.

[8] Compersion: the opposite of jealousy; the feeling of joy experienced when seeing your partner happy with their other partner(s).

Is there a head canon you have for a certain character that you haven't explored yet, and if so, whats that headcanon?

ok ok this is from before the corpse pit stream so this is my madagio design but it's more like a vessel her real form is something like winged lion from dunmeshi (the manner/the sly look on the face minus the wings ig)

there's no flesh under the clothes he would appear in this form when making a deal or meeting people she also can transform into various felines mostly cat for better stealth

[pocketramblr]

I'm still on a fairy tale kick! Please give me 5 headcanons for a Sleeping Beauty AU where All for One made up a story about his brother being cursed to prick his finger on a spinning wheel and die as an excuse to keep poor Yoichi locked up and isolated. Maybe he even faked an evil fairy incident. Thank you!

1- Yoichi loves fairy stories, always has, and the beautiful illustrations of them too. AfO has not, because when Yoichi is paying attention to the books, he isn't paying attention to him. When Yoichi asks him why he hates fairies so much, AfO says it's because they ruined Yoichi, cursed him. Gave him his tendency to be ill, and awkward, and that before his sixteenth birthday, he'd be pricked with a spindle and die.

2- Yoichi is pretty sure he made that up, but unluckily for him he's in the au where AfO gets to have a despotic boyking era, so when the prince asks about fairy stories the staff all nod along because he's sweet, and when AfO glares at them, they agree the curse happened. Every regent or advisor who's attempted to control the kid has ended up very dead, so everyone just kinda hope the boy grows out of it. And well, no one's exactly expecting Yoichi to live even to twenty anyway.

3- When the boys are thirteen, the carriage is attacked by someone jumping out of nowhere in a strange mask, holding out a spindle and lunging for Yoichi. AfO knocks them back and the fae flees. AfO announces it's clearly too dangerous for Yoichi to leave the castle grounds. When the boys are fourteen, Yoichi is enjoying the gardens and picking a flower when a lose spindle drops out of the bush, missing where his hand was by inches. He watches from the window as dozens more are found. AfO declares it too dangerous for Yoichi to go outside. When Yoichi is fifteen, something with glowing eyes half crawls through his window before being chased out, the spindle the only thing left. AfO moves Yoichi to a basement room with no windows.

4- Yoichi tolerates it for a time, before telling his brother that once they turn sixteen, this can end, he'll have beaten the curse. AfO remarks that he must have misheard- the curse was before his sixtieth birthday, not sixteenth. The next time that AfO visits, he finds Yoichi despondent, not reacting to anything, including him. AfO has to threaten to kill random servants and guards before Yoichi will eat, but he only speaks to ask to be released, and AfO finish the story. AfO always refuses.

5- eventually, the servants and guards have had enough. A maid flies into AfO's rooms one morning screeching that there are no guards downstairs anymore, only frogs in tiny suits of armor, and she couldn't find the one with the key to the prince's room. AfO races down with his key, the maid not following but slipping outside, and on opening the door finds Yoichi's bed empty. All that's on it is a spindle, wrapped in silvery hair, not thread, and a piece of paper with a drawing of Yoichi, eyes closed in sleep and wearing a crown of tiny golden spindles, with mirrored writing that says "Don't invite the fair neighbors where you don't want them to step."

+1- while AfO has his breakdown, Yoichi and every guard who'd worked down there is already smuggled out of the palace. For his own part, he's in a cart of straw, listening to Bruce complain that they should have saved a couple of the little suits of armor they'd all worked together to make for the frogs his cousin Hikage had helped collect, and Kudo telling him to stop complaining.

[kawareo]

How about a soft spot headcanon for Strike?

Gnolls. I joke about it but he does genuinely love them.

He likes animals in general but they tend to be afraid of him, as they can recognize a dangerous predator when they see one; gnolls don't have that instinct and share his bloodlust. On more than one occasion, he slept cuddled up with them and while he still would kill them without any real regret (as with everyone else) they're the one creatures he at least attempts to give second chances to.

He treats them as his puppies and Gortash just has to deal with the fact that his partner often smells like gnolls because he once again slept in the kennels with them.

[violent138]

ask game #5 if you could go back and change the outcome of the poll that killed Jason Todd, would you?

Oooh went for the tough one immediately. See this one is weird, because Jason's always been the Robin That Died and Returned to me (spoiled for me early, and I watched the Under the Red Hood animated film when I was still very little). I also think that really intriguing consequences and darkness arose from his death and subsequent return (depressing as it is that such a cute little guy got voted out). I'd be lying if he wasn't an easy character to use, along with Helena Bertinelli, for some complex storylines and ethical quandries. As well as just explorations of guilt, regret, losses of innocence (all around), and some really wicked meta analyses of what it means that the audience wanted that.

Eerie and Roman-like as it is that his death was voted for, I think I'd leave the outcome of the poll as is.

Thanks for the ask!

About the WIP tag/ask game: the one named "reflections" looks interesting, so maybe that? I've seen its related to your Detective AU and that makes me curious (really cool AU I must say)

HEHEH I’m glad you find it cool

This is actually a preview for chapter 3…. But don’t tell any1 ok !!
