Benophie just wanting a few hours for themselves and not having even a minute to be together 😂

this is hilarious

Oh, absolutely.

But that doesn’t mean they didn’t try...

Benedict and Sophie are on Sophie’s bed; every kiss, touch, moan and sigh is stitching themselves back together after years of aching, frayed edges. Words and kisses tumbling over each other, as their hips roll, and their fingers scrabble with the final fabrics–

BANG “Benedict!” BANG “Sophie!”

“You have got to be kidding me,” Sophie groans, rising up from where she is straddling Benedict. Benedict reaches up and kisses her.

“Just ignore them,” he whispers.

“I love you, Ben, but I’m not letting any of our families see me naked.”

“Technically, you’re not naked,” Benedict's hands slip under the chemise, hands trailing up her thigh. “And don’t worry,” he whispers, kissing a spot by her ear that he knows feels 100% more pleasurable than it did in their dreams. “You just concentrate on us. I’ll keep them occupied.”

*~*~*

Cut to Anthony who is hammering on the door with Simon and Gareth.

“Benedict, you need to–” suddenly the door opens to reveal…

Another door. A white one with a scrawled sign in a teenager’s hand writing.

Do not disturb.

“You cannot be serious,” Anthony huffs and starts bangs down that door to reveal…

Another door.

And another.

Different colours, different makes. One of particular note, is a mahogany door, with a beautifully carved…middle finger.

Eventually, Anthony starts to use his powers, because the fighting has escalated and the weird umbrella-not-umbrellas have decided to join forces with the shady government agency. And really everyone is trying to vacate as quickly as possible before they are all carted off, and in desperation Gareth pops in to find…

“Oh–god–Yes! Ben!”

“Oh sh–”

“Ah!”

Gareth turns around, hands on his eyes.

The door disappears and Anthony stumbles in. He finds Ben, who is shielding Sophie, clutching onto her. Then Sophie, whose scowl could do more damage than Anthony’s powers.

“Gareth, you know the rule!”

“I know, I know,” Gareth cries, still not letting his hands drop from his eyes. “But I swear I didn’t see anything!”

“It’s still a violation of privacy!”

“It was in your best interests.”

“My best interest was being allowed to co–”

“I hope, Anthony, that you have the most fantastic reason known to man for disturbing our time.” Benedict growls. “And no, the end of the world will not cut it.”

*~*~*~*~*

I have half a mind to have that be an ongoing joke until the end–Benophie having 7 years of pent up sexual frustration. (Yes it has been that long since they met each other).

Benedict and Sophie try to sneak off when they get to the safehouse–before being pulled back by their siblings.

Benedict and Sophie in a closet only for Hyacinth and Gareth to disturb them because they wanted to talk…yeah, just talk to each other.

Slipping into the shower together only for the water to get cut off because the safehouse is being raided.

And the first time they do have a bed neither are in the mood because Benedict has just had a near-breakdown and gosh darn it, they’ve got to address that 4 year separation.

But finally they do have the chance, in the ruins of Aubrey Hall, where the sourness of loss is finally replaced with the sweetest of realities. And it is wonderful…until they wake up to the sound of bullets.

when i got my medical certificate i very confidently answered the question "what do you do if a person becomes unconscious?" with "remove from the room immediately" only to be met with puzzled silence by the instructor and that's when i learned that the deeply ingrained nautical fear and grim reality of seamen and their rescuers asphyxiating in enclosed spaces due to build up of toxic gas or especially lack of oxygen does not translate to land.

#death cw #asphyxiation cw #just one of many ways my expectations for daily life have been skewed by entering solid ground later in life i guess

not to sound like a boomer, but I need some people to learn how to write emails in a semi-professional (at the very least) format so you're not cold emailing a business/potential employer/any other stranger about formal matters in the exact same way you'd DM a close friend on instagram

the formality/language can loosen up in the email chain once you've established a rapport and you match the other person if they're being less formal, but please don't have the very first email you send a stranger be written in all lowercase ultra-casual sms slang with no greeting or signature and a billion emojis

#this sounds like a 'argh kids these days doing [insert exaggerated story they don't actually do in reality]' kind of thing #except that I've gotten soooo many emails like this #there's a reason that I don't have my DMs open on any socmed and it's bc they attract people getting way too casual/parasocial immediately #and forcing people to write out an email both filters out 90% of weird impulse messages and also throws them out of that casual headspace #except that I can actively tell when this fails and someone is treating emails as if they're the same thing as DMs

sleeping arrangements (not sure tara would ever actually deign to sleep in the same 20ft radius as shovel but who can resist those big shiny insectoid black eyes 🥺)

plus:

#gale dekarios #shadowheart #astarion #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #my art #want to promote a greater shovel presence in the fanbase. where is all the shovel content. where is my beautiful daughter #she is gale's familiar. to me.#he may not necessarily *want* shovel #but it's too late now #he's her wizard it might be more apt to say #tara is not in any way shape or form a familiar she's like. his aunt.#also i have GOT to develop a faster way of making things like i have so many dumb joke ideas i can’t be rendering shit. unsustainable! 😭😭

one of my favorite laios traits is the way he understands some of his impulses are socially unacceptable but at the end of the day curiosity wins out so he loves to just quietly do something the others wont approve of and hope nobody notices. just tucks something in his pocket for later. monster cookbook. man eating plant seeds. monster sword. monster sword again

#im sure nothing bad will come of this habit #dungeon meshi #one of many ways hes dog coded

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

just a friendly reminder that, just because slavery was formally "abolished" in the so-called united states* in 1865, enslavement itself is still ongoing in the form of incarceration, which disproportionately affects Black and Indigenous people

(*i say "so-called" because the US is a settler-colonial construction founded on greed, extraction, and white supremacy) recommended readings/resources:

The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander

"How the 13th Amendment Kept Slavery Alive: Perspectives From the Prison Where Slavery Never Ended" by Daniele Selby

"So You're Thinking About Becoming an Abolitionist" by Mariame Kaba

"The Case for Prison Abolition: Ruth Wilson Gilmore on COVID-19, Racial Capitalism & Decarceration" from Democracy Now! [VIDEO]
