i’m afraid he’s already bewitched me

[funshinebf]

oops i ended up rambling a lot so im putting this under a cut, basically its my trigun modern au thoughts for the main 4 (plus kuroneko) so yea. hi

modern au to me vash and meryl have been besties since middle school. when they first met meryl had a crush on him but then she got to know him more and was like he's kind of pathetic actually. and after her crush went away they developed more of a siblingy friendship vibe, always bickering and annoying eachother but still ready to throw down for the other at the drop of a hat. and milly and wolfwood dated in highschool and were eachother's first like everythings. and then they both realized they were gay and broke up amicably and stayed really good friends.

milly and meryl meet when they work at the same place ofcourse. coworkers to friends to lovers moment. at first meryl is kind of astonished at milly's... everything, and like she wants to not be endeared by her but like. its milly. everyone is endeared by her! meryl was doomed from the start to fall in love. and milly is equally head over heels but shes soooo much better at being casual about it than meryl is. meryl is chill most of the time but she very frequently gets flustered as fuck around milly and becomes kind of a mess. meanwhile milly just acts as sweet and silly as she always does, so meryl gets all in her head about it like ohh she probably doesnt feel the same way since shes always so calm. but in reality milly is like haha i would do anything for this small and loud pretty woman and she daydreams about their wedding all the time. and milly flirts with her all the time but meryl is always like "oh surely she didnt mean it that way! lots of things milly says come out the wrong way, she just doesnt realize how it sounded!" but milly was doing it on purpose and is getting increasingly distressed over how else she could make it obvious to meryl. eventually she just straight up tells her like meryl i have romantic feelings for you and have had them for a while now! ive been flirting with you for ages but you always brush me off! and meryl is like THAT WAS ALL ON PURPOSE? milly OF COURSE IT WAS ON PURPOSE! and the misunderstanding is resolved and they start dating. at this point in my head the main four already all live together so i think eventually millymeryl would just. silently combine their rooms. they dont tell vash and wolfwood when they do though because they dont want either of them to try and claim the now extra room, nor make it a shared space. they LIKE having two rooms thank you very much. they get caught at some point and vash gets all pouty about it but wolfwood is like thats fucking hilarious. i would do the same. great job girls. and the girls get to keep their extra room of course.

as for vashwood i think they meet by chance and have like. the opposite of a meetcute. at first theyre like oh this guys an asshole! and think thats it. but then milly and meryl start hanging out more and they introduce their respective besties, which oops surprise they already know eachother! because they were both dicks to eachother in public one time! and its awkward as fuck at first but they end up accidentally bonding over like. well knowing them they probably do something nice for some random kid and thats how they start to be like "hmm maybe i didnt give this guy enough credit, he does seem like a nice dude. ill be easier on him now i guess" and like they still love to annoy eachother. but they have found like a mutual comraderie over it. its all good natured bickering and ribbing. and they both find it entertaining to team up and annoy meryl as much as possible. i think at some point they would both just realized like, oh shit hes one of my best friends and also i think im in love with him? well we dont have time to unpack all that! and they both try to pretend theyre normal. and fail. i think they would end up hooking up after a party or something similar and freak out but then agree on like a fwb situation. and they still are refusing to confess to eachother or believe that their feelings could be reciprocated. meryl wants to hurt them but milly is like ohh meryl theyll figure it out, they just need time! so meryl tries her best to stay out of it and not kill them in their sleep. shes being so brave and strong and were all so proud of her. and idk what would end up making vashwood confess but i think it would be like, some kind of frightening event where theyre afraid of losing eachother. so they finally just go for it cause they dont wanna risk never telling the other how they feel and losing the chance to. and so they FINALLY get their shit together and kiss or whatever. all is well for them.

btw as previously stated all four of them would be roommates in my mind. and kuroneko is their shared cat that adopted them by force one day. milly is the best with kuro, shes very affectionate and sweet and spoils her, and kuro knows it and loves it. meryl sometimes gets frustrated with kuro and doesnt think kuro likes her that much, but they get along pretty well and dont have any issues. vash LOVES kuro and wants to pet her all the time but kuro is so cold to him and it breaks his heart so bad. every now and then she will show him a tiny spot of affection and it keeps him going for months. wolfwood would be like "dads with the cat they didnt want" he would act all annoyed by her and deny liking her but that is his baby and hes carrying her on his shoulders and cooking her fresh chicken to eat because its good for her health and it would be rude to cook chicken for everyone else's dinner and not include her. he buys her collars with cute bows and patterns but if any of the others asked him he would say someone else in the house is responsible. he isnt fooling anyone.

anyways thats my goofy lighthearted 3 am modern au ideas. millymeryl and vashwood 4ever in my mind palace

Dead Boy Detectives 1x04: The Case of the Lighthouse Leapers

[asharaks]

@vigilskept SAY NO MORE @ikarons and i have GOT you

So the thesis here is that between Leliana, Cassandra, and Justinia, we have a sort of holy trinity of femininity, the three faces of womanhood in Thedas, with femininity and womanhood being defined in relation to Andraste: she’s the platonic ideal of a woman.

First: Cassandra, as the public-facing one. She’s the most Respectable, noble-born, pious, earthly; she takes her permission to fight and command from her association with both divinity and nobility, both structures in Thedas that demand and expect “purity” of women, as an associated product of femininity. Her violence is extremely tightly controlled — she isn’t allowed to be undisciplined, sloppy, and emotional (if she has a strong negative opinion of you, she gets drunk and yells at you; this is treated as an abject failure of hers), and she’s never out of control. Her violence is sanctioned by her faith and her association with the chantry, and thus is sanctified as something holy, and not to be treated lightly; she’s the embodiment of Andraste’s strength, and she is very much still required to conform to femininity in other ways. She loves music, art, flowers, she’s a sap at heart, she reads cheesy romance novels and wears makeup; she expects to be wooed, to be the passive partner in a courtship, to be the desirable one — all things traditionally associated with femininity. Again, she’s allowed the remit of violence, but only as an extension of her spirituality, and the player is constantly reminded of her femininity.

Leliana in Inquisition represents the “darker” aspects of femininity that white people love to associate with womanhood; she’s more mysterious, angrier, secretive, privy to knowledge no-one else is. She’s manipulative, and ruthless, and subtle: her power doesn’t come from martial prowess or spirituality but from knowledge. There’s a bit of the Thedas version of the Madonna-Whore complex here (shoutout to @gyrovagi for the Andraste-Witch terminology), with Leliana taking the part of the Witch to Cass’s Andraste; she’s darker, scarier, more sexual, more menacing. She twists the things traditionally associated with Andraste’s femininity (music, birds, flowers) into weapons (her bard song, poisons, the ravens) in a mirror of Cassandra’s Andrastian associations.

This in contrast to her role in Origins, where she very much played the nice devout Andrastian girl to Morrigan’s occultism; Leliana is able to switch, her presentation fluid in this way specifically because she’s not a mage, and thus has the freedom to move between presentations in a way a mage — strictly feminised in a derogatory way — can’t. The type of femininity (the “good” kind, the “pure” kind) on that side of the balance is utterly inaccessible to anyone with magic, but Leliana’s able to move between them as she moves through life, and to use that perception of virtue as a tool to suit her needs. This is very much a costume she can take off and put on, playing different cards in different situations (see her spymaster self in the rookery vs the way she presents and behaves at the Winter Palace), and one she is able to wield effectively and safely because of her position: as a non-mage acting in service of the Maker (in DAO) or a representation of Andraste (DAI). 

Finally, Justinia: the spiritual leader, the untouchable, the “pure”, the divine face of Andraste that’s allowed to be inaccessible. Her age grants her this freedom, as does the way she’s never really seen on screen; she’s not a romance option, she’s not a companion or a character, she’s a symbol you never truly meet, and she’s never granted characterisation outside of her role as the Divine. Her authority as a woman is tied into this spirituality —- the reason it’s okay for her to be in this position of power is that she’s unmarried, childless, undesirable, and her position feeds into her undesirability in an endless loop. Just like Andraste, she’s more an idea than a person, and an idea can’t perform gender Wrong.

Leliana and Cass are both very feminine figures, but neither of them take on spiritual roles; Cass is very much guided by chantry doctrine, but never creates it (if you make her divine, she is conservative, cautious, slow on progress); it’s important to note here that most, if not all, of the women in powerful positions both within and without the chantry appear to be largely conservative, but especially the ones who aren’t Chantry Sisters. Leliana is far more progressive than Cassandra, who is in a more masculinised role of Templar (and Cassandra is far more progressive than Meredith, in her role as Knight-Commander), and many of the higher-ups in the Chantry are talked about as conservatives and traditionalists in war table missions and ambient dialogue.

Leliana tends to view chantry teachings as suggestions (she is a reformer, but very much not a militant one) and distance herself from the position of priesthood, from Origins on. This, in combination with her perceived duality (Andraste-Witch dichotomy) is a double-edged sword; on the one hand, it works to her advantage that she is able to put on and take off the persona of Witch (in a way that is impossible for any mage — lots to say about Vivienne, and she deserves her own post, but particularly note how committed she is to people perceiving her as Intimidating and Frightening; she is forced to capitalise on the negative connotations of the Witch and try to use them as a base from which to gather power, because she is denied the opportunity to be perceived as ‘correctly’ feminine as a mage, but she simultaneously has to manage this perception through careful presentation because of the risk of tranquility or even execution being perceived as the Witch carries for her — unlike Leliana, she can’t step out of this role when it suits her, and unlike Leliana, the consequences for embodying it can be fatal) but on the other hand, those Darker aspects of her persona can be and are used against her; she’s accused of underhandedness, manipulativeness, accusations of deception and falsehood are thrown at her to discredit her role, and by extension, her power. The system is designed to support and uplift a very specific image of femininity, one defined by its relationship to spirituality, and anyone who steps outside of that gender binary is punished or discarded.

Both Leli and Cass distance themselves from traditional Thedas ideas of Womanhood, but they are both still notable as women in positions of unusual power, and their femininity and performance of gender is tied heavily to the ways they want to be perceived, which is in turn tied to the ways they want and reach for power, and the ways they use it when they have it.

Claws tighten around me. I can feel them stabbing into my skin and I lean in anyway. Is it wrong to find comfort in something that hurts?

iii is fuming.

right before the show, the two of you had fought. it was just some minor scuffle, but the fact that iii had to go out and play with your fight still looming in his mind was killing him.

during the show, he had begun to realize how in the wrong he was, which led to him screwing up a few songs. nobody really noticed it, but he sure did. he was mentally screaming at himself up until the show concluded. iv could tell something was up, as he kept shooting glances at him.

as soon as the show was over, iii hurried backstage, hanging up his bass and making his way to find you. after looking, he found you sitting on a chair backstage playing on your phone. without a word, he grabbed your hand and tore you off the chair.

you jumped at the sudden treatment, iii was obviously upset, he hadn’t even started to take off his stage outfit before coming to see you. he led the two of you to the closest closed off room he could find and locked the door.

slamming you up against the wall, he grabbed your leg and hiked it up around his waist, gripping tightly. he’s staring right at you, his black hair slightly over his eyes as he’s breathing heavily.

“iii, i-” you begin before he rips off his mask and slams his lips against yours. the kiss is dominant as he pulls your body closer against his, and he can feel your heart pounding. you’re his girl, and he shouldn’t have argued with you over something so stupid.

pulling away, he’s looking down at you with love. the red paint fades slightly on his face where his mask was, going down his neck.

“listen, i fucking love you. that entire time i was so upset with myself i wanted to scream. i was a fucking douchebag and i was wrong. i’m sorry. now let me make it up to you.” he places his red painted hand softly around your throat. being in your presence is beginning to calm him down, but his anger with himself still surfaces. he needs to fuck you.

his words blow the wind right out of you. with a smirk, running your fingers down his chest, you say, “show me how sorry you are.”

he quickly runs his hand under your shirt and grabs onto your chest, slamming his lips back to yours. the kiss is full of lust and possessiveness. “perfect fucking tits” he mutters and you can feel him becoming hard against you. you trail your hand down to his bulge and palm him gently. he’s so fucking big under your small hand, and it drives you crazy. you’re just as obsessed with him as he is with you.

you let out a moan when he twists your nipple between his fingers, and iii clasps his hand over your mouth. “shhh love, gotta be quiet, don’t want anyone to hear me claiming you do you?”

yanking your pants down in one swift movement, iii shoves his fingers in his mouth before sliding them softly into your wetness, thrusting gently as you moan into his hand. the possessiveness radiating off of him has you dizzy.

“please fuck me iii.” you try to speak as clearly as you can with his hand over your mouth.

“atta girl,” he pushes his cock into you in one quick thrust, making you gasp in pleasure. as many times that you’ve taken his dick, the stretch is always intense with his massive size.

you could hear people outside the door cleaning up from the show. iii was slamming his hips into yours and his hand remained clamped over your mouth. his gaze remained fixed on yours, eyes full of lust and adoration for you.

his pace was quick and rough like he had nothing on his mind but you. you couldn’t help but admire how sexy he looked, messy black hair covering his sweaty forehead and his eyes clouded over. the red paint was starting to smear.

as much as you wanted to be loud with how good iii was making you feel, the idea of the other boys or any of the crew hearing you had you holding back your noises. or maybe you wanted them to hear you, hear iii fucking you backstage. it was so risky and hot.

“god i fucking love you,” he breathed out as he felt you clench around him, your moans muffled by his hand. “gonna cum for me pretty girl? hmm? cmon give it to me.”

with his sweet words you came all over his dick, iii moaned as he felt it and with one quiet groan he released inside you. he slowed his pace, riding out your highs and pulling his hand off your mouth to place a sweet kiss on your lips.

“forgive me, baby?” he smirks, breathing heavily and cupping your face.

you giggle kissing the tip of his nose. “of course i do. now let’s get going before the others start to-”

you’re cut off with a rattling of the doorknob from the other side, you and iii’s eyes darting towards it. “iii? you in there?”

“better get going,” iii whispers with a smirk.
