thinking soooo many crazy thoughts rn

[sleeplessdreamer14]

Secrets I have held in my heart are harder to hide than I thought. Maybe I just wanna be yours, I wanna be yours, I wanna be yours.

As my dear friend put it, “it’s about the yearning”. Sometimes you just gotta draw your very first dnd character Amma and she’s gotta be sad. Idk I don’t make the rules.

Okay but. BUT. Vampire!Ardyn offering to turn Cor. (Does Cor accept? Does he refuse? I don't know, but the *idea* of that one moment in time where he hangs trembling between the two roads of an impossible choice where Ardyn watches him with witchfire-bright eyes, /willing to respect/ whatever decision he makes - )

@hamelin-born

“You’re giving me a choice.” Cor’s voice is not hard but it is not soft either. It is questioning, as if he’s wondering why a man such as Ardyn would give him the luxury of choosing.

Ardyn’s answering laugh is layered in darkness. The shadows cast by the moon and the light of stars cloaking the vampire in night and reveals only the fire-bright burn of his eyes.

“Odd, isn’t it? That I would offer a choice.” Ardyn does not hide what he is. He does not hide his cruelty or his malice, he hides not his lust nor his love. “Do you think you are worth it?”

“I don’t think that matters.” Cor’s reply is curt. “What matters is that you offered.”

“Is it that out of character?”

“To some it would be.”

“But not you?” Ardyn sounds curious, his curiosity is always dangerous.

“I know better. You are cruel but not unkind when you’ve no reason to be.”

Ardyn laughs again. He steps into the light of the campfire Cor tends and takes a seat across from Regis’ most loyal.

“You’d offer a choice,” Cor continues, “Unless you had no choice.”

“You flatter me.”

“A mistake on my part.” Cor shakes his head. He turns to Ardyn and their eyes meet - ice meeting the burning of stars.

“You know my answer. It can’t be any other answer.”

“I need to hear you say it.”

“And if I do? Then what?”

“You will still have my heart.”

“Will I?” A wry smile makes its way to Cor’s lips. “Then my answer is no, I happen to like being mortal you see.”

“A pity.” Ardyn steps further into the light of Cor’s camp and drapes himself across Cor’s shoulders. “I thought your answer would be different.”

Cor huffs affectionately and reaches up to run caress Ardyn’s face.

Ardyn leans into Cor’s touch like an indolent cat.

“It won’t change,” Cor says quietly.

Ardyn hums quietly. “I can only hope that one day you’ll be selfish enough to indulge me.”

Was rewatching Left Behind (1x07) and as much credit as I give Bella for Ellie’s gay pining, I gotta give 10s to Storm for her Riley.

Riley pretends to be this cool gal who’s unflappable and isn’t fazed by anything until it comes to Ellie.

She’s nonchalant about disappearing until she sees Ellie’s black eye, then she’s pissed and protective and only after Ellie says she dealt with Bethany, she goes back to cool mysterious girl mode.

She’s all blasé about the carousel until she sees Ellie’s little smile and all of a sudden SHE’S shy and staring at her like she can’t believe she’s real.

She is all about impressing Ellie when they arrive at the arcade then they start playing MK 2 and Ellie allows her to be a kid so she’s loud and jokes with Ellie and even celebrates Ellie kicking her ass then snaps back when Ellie realizes she missed her shot to kiss Riley and retreats so Riley tries to salvage the night by saying she has a gift for Ellie.

Then they read the pun book and you see Riley revert to a teenager because yeah, this is something she and Ellie share. Something they both love and she’s giggling unabashedly…until Ellie finds the bombs and now she’s having to start being real about her leaving and disappointing Ellie.

She goes to the Halloween store and sits there because she’s sad she hurt Ellie. She’s sitting with the fourth wonder at the fifth wonder and we see an expansion on her sadness. She’s leaving and her last conversation with the only person who matters to her (Storm’s words) ended harshly, with venomous words and tears.

Then Ellie comes back and finally Riley let’s all her walls down because holy fuck she nearly lost Ellie more than physically. So, she decides to tell Ellie that while she’s not sure about the FireFly mission, she is sure she needs something or someone who needs her. Then Ellie confesses that Riley mattered to Ellie, the first we truly see outside of playful moments (“I’ll be your best friend again” “again? You’re already my best friend Ellie.”) and Riley is no longer showing this +1 wonder because she wants to be cool, it’s because she wants to make Ellie happy. Whether she looks like a dork dancing on a glass counter with a creepy clown mask on…as long as it makes Ellie laugh, she doesn’t care anymore.

And then the moment when Ellie does the one thing Riley wanted happens: she asks her to stay. And you just see the instant release of tension by Storm when she realizes she truly does matter to someone so of course she’s staying. Of course she’s not gonna want Ellie to apologize for kissing her and of course she reacts to kissing her best friend and first love by giggling uncontrollably and averting her eyes for a second.

They get bit and finally she shows that she’s just a scared kid. She’s doomed herself, she’s doomed ELLIE and she’s just cost them the potential relationship and life they could’ve had. Storm plays Riley as a child who is truly broken. Then she puts herself together again to try and raise Ellie’s spirits because at least they’re in this together and without even saying it, she loves Ellie.

Storm played Riley with such nuance. She’s different from the constantly playful and unserious Riley from the dlc and issue 1-3 of the comic and takes on the same energy as the last page of issue four Riley: she’s hardened. She’s closed off. She has trauma. She keeps a secret until Ellie puts the pieces together herself (why she got Winston to take Ellie on a ride on Princess in the comics)

But she also loves puns and games and music and giggling with her best friend and teasing her and being quippy with her. She wants to show Ellie the beauty of the fucked up world they live in. She’s a quiet optimist to Ellie’s loud pessimist.

Bella played 1x07 Ellie as openly hopelessly and thinks it’s never gonna happen in love with Riley. Storm played her as as in love but holding back because what if Ellie does like her back…she might lose her. And she almost does. Then Ellie loses her.

TL:DR, I need Storm and Bella in a romcom asap because I give 10s where 10s are due and they ate best friends to lovers THE FUCK UP!

look, okay, look

I can’t stop thinking about this stupid detail with this stupid ring on Kits hand when she’s ready to run away and during the whole quest/rescue mission.

Right there. And my head canon (wish) is that it’s significant to jade in some way (probably not) but I can’t stop thinking about how, if it was a ring for the arranged marriage, why would she wear it the whole time, the whole journey or when she’s trying to run away? And why not have something, a small gesture, promise, vow, symbol that all you really want, all you crave with your entire being, without permission and in defiance, is to travel and adventure with your best friend

To all the people in the tags telling me I should learn pottery and make my own Amenhotep III Malqata Blue pottery: No, shan’t. I want to be gifted the pretty thing I desire and can’t have and treasure it.

i had a dream where i was being held and when i woke up i was painfully aware of how alone i was

[bohemian-nights]

Personal Headcannon:

On House of the Dragon we see both Laena and Rhaenyra hold Daemon's hand I think he's pretty used to his significant other/partner holding his hand especially when their at dinner. Nettles however doesn't hold his hand and at first when they are at Maidenpool and share their first meal together Daemon always looks down at their hands (which is very close but not touching) and he's tempted to hold Nettles hand but she never does, as the weeks go by however Nettles doesn't hold his hand but instead she hooks their pinkies together OR she fidget with his rings. Physical touch is something she craves but it's still all very new to her so it will take time to be more affectionate especially when they're not behind closed doors.

🙌🏽Love this. It kinda reminds me of Bridgerton season 1 where they reach for each other’s hands

Nettles definitely isn’t used to affection, physical or otherwise. I mean probably the last time that someone was genuinely affectionate with her was when she was a baby.

Daemon on the other hand is a very physically affectionate person(In addition to the ones you mentioned let’s not forgot the belly kiss with Laena, head-butting Caraxes, placing his forehead on his brother’s shoulder).

He is not used to holding back physically from his partner or the ones he loves, but with Nettles, she’s more guarded. She’ll definitely clamp up at first if he tries to go all in especially in public. Daemon letting Nettles control the pace is what’s needed and things may go slow at first, but it’s worth the wait to them.
