What if Childe constantly pesters (light-heartedly) to his S/O that doesn't fight as much as him to spar with him a lot, they eventually agree to do so and things were going well! ..Until somehow they managed to beat him. I dont think I've seen any imagines of Childe losing against a spar//fight to reader so this might be neat!
✧ "can i spar you?" ✧

Warnings ◦ none, whiney Tart
Thoughts ◦ this was super fun to write! thank you anon for the ask! <3

“babe, can we spar?”
“come on, let’s spar already!”
“fight me?”
this was the question you had been pestered with ever since you had gotten close to the redhead at your side, Childe. though aggravating, it made sense, given he was a Harbinger of the Fatui. still, your boyfriend’s tenacity was.. irritating, to put it bluntly.
“милая, please?” upon hearing the plead in his voice, along with a nickname of his native tongue, your resolve had broken.
“fine, one fight. that’s all you get, though.”
“deal.”
cut to the Golden House, his preferred sparring grounds. you adjusted your gloves, and the blade of your polearm glinted in the dim light, reflecting your surroundings.
“don’t go easy on me, ‘kay?” Childe joked, readying his bow.
“yeah-huh.” you scoffed, circling your partner.
Childe had a knack for speed, but his battle prowess was something you had only witnessed from afar. he darted from place to place, keeping considerable distance between the two of you. it was disorienting, to say the least. following the familiar figure was something you had grown accustomed to in crowded areas like the Harbor, but this was much easier, despite the use of his vision creating distractions. the most you could do was dodge his arrows, hurling through the air in deadly arcs. you were used to projectiles, but this was something far more intensive than hillichurl arrows. they were your only frame of reference for this type of thing, as dating a Harbinger practically granted you immunity from the Fatui across Teyvat.
you knew Childe was purposefully missing you, but the arrows came too close to your skin for comfort. gripping your staff, you rushed forward, aiming to sweep his feet. he was far too agile for your out-of-practice attempts, though, and launched himself behind you, grabbing your shoulder and knocking your weapon out of your hand, sending it scathing across the floor in a singular motion. you heard the water of his blades condense into form behind you, and the knowledge of the water at your neck sent a shiver down your spine. you let out a heavy sigh. “fine.”
as soon as the word left your mouth, you were pulled into the air bridal-style, a pout appearing on your boyfriend’s face. “that wasn’t hard, though,” he whined, strolling across the room to retrieve your staff.
“yeah, well, it’s not like I have much to train against with you around.” Childe’s brows furrowed at the comment.
“that’s a good thing, right?”
“yes, fish boy, that’s good.” you smiled, looping an arm around his neck. your free hand outstretched toward your polearm. as you came closer, the weapon started to rattle, and in a swift movement you swung yourself around onto the ground, staff in hand and stunned boyfriend on your back. flipping Childe over, you slammed your weight down, restraining him with your blade at his neck. “do I win now?”
“I..” he laughed, glancing at his lack of non-lethal options, “yeah.” you smiled, stepping off his ribcage and pulling him up. “how the hell did you get your polearm? it was at least ten meters from you when you did that flip thing. you don’t have a vision you didn’t tell me about, did you?”
“no, no I don’t have a vision— I do, however, have alchemy. they’re only testers so far, but I’ve figured out how to implant magnets into these gloves that correspond to a magnetic plate around the pole of my staff! you like it?”
“babe, you’re insane. I love it!” Childe exclaimed, pulling you into a hug that lifted you off the ground. “archons, we’re gonna be unstoppable... you’re so smart you give me goosebumps— you know that, right?” you laughed, placing a quick kiss on his lips.
“absolutely.”

the fact that irving canonically survives through the end of asunder to be at wynne's funeral is so fucking funny to me. nothing but love and respect for MY unstoppable cockroach morally grey machiavellian mage dad!!! he's survived in his position through multiple attempted rites of annulment and blood mage plots popping up left right and center around him. the chantry keeps trying to stamp him out but his dodge game is simply out of this world, divine. civil wars, political machinations and minefields, chantry atrocities, this wily old motherfucker is dodging and weaving his way through it all, not-quite-no-hits-taken-running-it-but-honestly-close-enough-under-the-circumstances style. if solas does succeed in tearing down the veil I would fully believe that one of the like three people still alive at the end of it all would be a very weary 90 year old first enchanter irving going 'oh this shit again huh'. the maker has cursed him for his hubris and his paperwork is never finished (affectionate, it's fine he canonically loves paperwork)
#we should have had the option to leave him in the fade instead of hawke or a warden#he would've just annoyedly shuffled his way back out of there a week later#dragon age#dragon age origins#first enchanter irving#he must be SO annoying to the chantry because it's heavily implied he's made his playground#out of tirelessly finding technicalities and loopholes to exploit that they can't *quite* call him on without domino effects going off#I think first enchanter in the circle system at origins times is a position that invariably and inevitably leaves you morally compromised#but I feel he really does his best within the rules he's given to play with and personally i love him a bit for that. and also#for being an unkillable lil shit. insufferable. inconquerable in his 'I'm about to be such an annoyance to you' impish spirit.#the I'm going to suffer but guess what. so are you of it all. traumatize the chantry back#I just imagine sophia sending letters home right before the vote for independence like '...dad I am hearing some INSANE rumours out here#what the actual fuck is going on back home???'#and he's like 'nothing that you need to worry about sweetie just keep living your best life and have fun killing darkspawn <3'#(there's something that makes me feel So much about how consistently his stance is like... 'you'll always be welcome here#but the circle doesn't *need* you; go be a warden and live your life'. he managed to fineagle freedom for you somehow and won't let you#turn and glance back. not even once. I feel somehow both so abandoned and so incredibly loved it's wild)#oc: sophia amell

geralt "i will NEVER deadname my best friend" of rivia
"he will ALWAYS be dandelion to ME"
#also 'including milva in male costume' goes SOOO HARDDD#everyone say thank you regis for citing a dozen precedents to pull that off. the effect of knowing your herstory <3#c: geralt#s: i want to be by your side#geralt is like the reverse situation of a transphobe who 'has known you for 20 years so he can't call you something else now'#it's that he has known dandelion for so long that he can't call him anything else but his STAGE / CHOSEN NAME :')#the 'viscount dandelion' is so funny to me#i can accept that he's a viscount but I DRAW THE LINE at calling him by his birth name#milva: 'you can accept that he's a viscount??'#also it's lost in english but that his stage name and birth name begin with the same letter & thus sound. jaskier... julian...#not the 'chosen name starts with the same letter as the birth name' stereotype. and swag#the witcher books#book: lady of the lake#excerpt#one thousand million years ago in posada:#dandelion: 'don't you want to know my name' | geralt: 'but i already know your name. it's dandelion'#dandelion: 'but it's not my real name. don't you want to know my real and famous name' | geralt: 'not particularly'#geralt has the same relationship to dandelion's birth name and viscount status as dandelion has to kaer morhen 💀#geralt and dandelion are like i don't care who you were back then i cannot comprehend your sad backstory all i care is about who you are no#i think this kind of friendship helped them both slightly detach from their exaggerated levels of perceived self-importance#geralt from his 'woe is me i will never be seen as a normal man' and dandelion from 'im the most interesting man in this tavern'#only SLIGHTLY detach. when they're around each other they temper expectations. but when they're apart it grows back

Garion and her newest protégé
#First two letters of Garion + Ayin = GaAy#Also A's eyes are black because of whatever process that turns people into Arbiters#Instead of going white when shaded over they go back to yellow#this was just gonna be lineart btw but. uh#I also liked making his outfit! It was just Gar's one and then I remembered Zena exsisted so I had more freedom to fuck with it#as for his earrings - the one with 3 sections is for C [third letter] and the one with 2 is for B [second letter]#this is because A is a sentimental bastard#anyways I don't see much for this ship so I hope all the [checks notes] three fans like this#another thing! A's hair is ever so slightly longer on one side#wonder why. hehehe.#you can actually tell where they're going just based on how far away their rancid vibes feel#normal tags:#⬛🐦🌕#garion/ayin#art#k draws art stuff#original art#digital art#fanart#lobotomy corporation#garion lobcorp#ayin lobcorp#lobcorp

One of the essays I'd love to write if I had the time would be about the central importance of the Home in L.M. Montgomery books. Like - the way that a house is a character in a gothic because it's got all the history and the secrets and everything, a house in a Montgomery novel is the precise opposite. It helps that some of them are named - Green Gables being the obvious example - but even those ones are often given their names by someone that lives there and loves it. And it's not just about the house as setting in terms of physical place, it's also a key part of the atmospheric setting.
I'm thinking about the house Anne lived in while at Redmond, where its status as a rental was emphasized by the references to other people's furniture and decor, affirming its place as only temporary to her, but it was never made to feel cold or impersonal, because it was a place of warmth and joy. In contrast, there's the home where Valancy Stirling grew up, which she constantly emphasizes as being proper but not homey, as being a building without a soul, essentially. They're small details, but it matters that it was always unwelcoming, that Valancy's room had old, dusty potpurri in it, that it would be either too cold or too hot because her mother imposed a rigid rule without considering the state of the home; it makes me think about the way Anne personifies her surroundings with such regularity, like the Snow Queen outside her window and the frequent yearning speeches about Green Gables and its land when she's away. The house often seems as much a part of the family as any of the people in it.
It's always been really evocative to me, and it really speaks to a rooted sense of place in Montgomery's work, not just in the houses and homes, but in the forests and Lovers' Lanes and all the other places that create the worlds of her stories. It's important also that so many of her books are named for or after homes. Anyway
#ending this post here bc it's 3 (three) am and i gotta slepe but I might come back to it on my next library day and add to it#lm montgomery#mr darcys charming long letters

So about the end of chapter 3, what was the reaction in Shepherd headquarters when Ayla, Red and all of circle mages came there saying they were new recruits?
Red: listen, I'm telling you, your commander explicitly told us to come here. we're shepherds now. i have his letter to prove it
Trouble: really? idk, for some reason i feel like he'd hate you
#i'm jk LOL#realistically Blade sent a letter back home--ahead of their arrival--to prepare the others and give them the heads up on everything#and also gave Red a letter with his seal too#so they were prepared for it ahead of time!#Shepherds of Haven#silly#spoilers#mild#chapter 3#chapter 4#alpha build#alpha preview

Gale's all "I'm not father material and our living situation isn't exactly child safe" as if we don't have our adopted daughter Yenna right there and our other daughter Arabella off on an adventure we gave her money and clothes and a lunch box for
#baldurs gate 3#bg3#gale#gale of waterdeep#gale dekarios#arabella#yenna#I headcannon that they sent Arabella off like a worried parent sending their kid to summer camp#and they send a lot of letter back and forth and unconditionally house her when she comes back here and there
