#lil torrington

[entwinedmoon]

As per my tradition, I made a cinnamon crumb cake for Torrington's B(aptism) Day (and this year I actually remembered to put foil under the candles to prevent the wax dripping into the cake so I don't have to dig it out later lol).

[artemx746]

The Titan army fans (me included) are gonna be going through the nine stages of grief if alabaster isn’t in WotTG

[everythingwasalreadypicked]

Thinking about Capture the Flag in the alive Ta 5 au

Ethan, who never got to go at people without heavy armour, is taking full advantage of the situation despite the fact he is injured from falling 600 floors down. People are scrambling to get the Nemesis cabin on their side.

Silena, who taught herself charmspeak even though she didn't have the ability is a force to be reckoned with. Oh, and she has a spear.

Alabaster got dragged back to Chb kicking and screaming by Luke. The moment he sees Percy it's on sight. Capture the flag and counselor meetings are a mess thanks to him<3

[nakamurastorrington]

I've come to ur askbox bearing percybaster and also trans!al

Alabaster doesn't like swimming bc gender dysphoria so Percy makes it a mission to find a lil secluded spot in the forest that nobody visits and makes a lil pond type thing for them to swim in 👁👁

took some liberties by making the lil forest pond a lagoon cave thingy instead but here ya go hehe

--

The little cave is beautiful, with columned walls and jagged domes of limestone embracing the glinting turquoise waters, which are so clear that Alabaster can see the bedrock several fathoms beneath them no problem. Hanging over the cave's northeast side is an eye to the sky, letting sunrays provide them natural light as Percy beaches their little kayak on a flat area next to the mouth of the cave.

It's beautiful, and trepidation cloys in Alabaster's throat. Percy has just barely managed to hammer into his head that all this care wasn't just a way to somehow fatten Alabaster up before he's offered up to a slaughter for the gods. Now, it was just a question of whether said care was out of pity or remorse.

Alabaster likes neither option. Even moreso now that they would make his discomfort look very, very bad. He doesn't wanna be ungrateful.

"C'mon, Torrington! Get in!" Percy yells, whooping as he leaps in headfirst. When he surfaces again, the water rolls off tanned skin in rivulets. "It's the perfect day for a swim!"

"For you, maybe," grumbles Alabaster, toying with the bottom of his shirt. "Any day is a perfect day for you to swim."

"Tsk, don't be so hotheaded. The sun today is oppressive enough as it is."

"Well, don't put the fault on me. Contact your rhyming fucker of a cousin and tell him to tone it down, since you're so chummy with the family."

Still, Percy is right; the day is hot. The crevices of his inner compression shirt are uncomfortable with damp sweat, and the glimmering water looks horribly tempting. Alabaster settles for sitting down where the limestone drops off beneath the water.

Percy wades towards him. "Did I do something?" he asks.

"No." Alabaster slowly kicks out his shins, creating gentle whirpools underwater. "For once."

"What is it, then? Is this... Is this too much?"

"Is what too much? Talking like you sculpted this place into the ideal date venue," Alabaster scoffs.

There's a beat, and Percy awkwardly chuckles. "Not entirely. Just smoothed out the dangerous edges, put the skylight there, cleared out some sharp rocks... But the rest is natural. I just happened to find it."

When he receives no reply, Percy hoists himself halfway out of the water. Alabaster's face grows hot in a way that has nothing to do with the weather—and everything to do with the way Percy settles himself, sculpted forearms and lean torso and all, in the space between his legs.

Contrary to the seeming audacity of that move, though, Percy's next words are laced with uncertainty. "If I overstepped, I really didn't mean to. We can just forget about this and go back—"

Alabaster grabs the Camp bead necklace before Percy can continue, and the son of Poseidon settles. Then, seized by some strange urge, he flattens his palm against Percy's firm sternum.

"One day, when I'm not constantly at the risk of dying," he says, "I won't have to rely on the Mist or my binders anymore. I'll be able to handle being—being seen. Then maybe I'll swim."

Percy blinks at him. "Being seen by others? I can swim outside if you want privacy."

A bitter smile crosses Alabaster's face. "Some days, I can barely look at myself. Today's one of those days, apparently. Especially when you look like goddamn Little Merman, in your element and all. It's annoying."

"Oh. Sorry?"

"For fuck's sake. You were all too happy to give me a show, weren't you? Go on." Alabaster pushes him away with his fingertips, and Percy topples back into the water with bubbling laughs.

He wasn't lying; the next several minutes, he leeches off the contagion of Percy's joy. "Look at this weird seashell I found down there," "How long can you hold your breath, just dunk your face in—haha you look stupid underwater," "SPLASH FIGHT!" and Alabaster actually fucking indulges him. The last one in particular gives him an idea of how to use this place. Just so Percy's effort doesn't go to waste, of course. If there's one thing Alabaster can appreciate, it's a masterful use of one's powers.

That's all there is to it. Really.

"Hey, Jackson!" he calls out, getting to his feet. "Fuck you!" And predictably, Percy shouts it back and sends another mini-tsunami at him.

Alabaster grins. "Incantare," he mutters under his breath, so that Percy can't hear him, "Furit Mare."

Immediately, the wave erupts from the surface with a roar, reversing its momentum and crashing down on its original caster.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Percy's voice reverberates from underneath, and Alabaster smugly grins. The dark head pops back out. "WHAT WAS THAT?!"

"Well, I figured," Alabaster replies, "if I can't fight you in your element, I'll just have to learn how to work with it to beat you."

"Oh, it's so on," Percy growls, commanding the water to raise him to his feet.

"Oh." Another incantation, and when Alabaster steps onto the water, the surface holds. "It is."

--

Note: "Furit Mare" roughly translates to... "The sea is raging" .... ? But I am no Latin scholar so I make no pretensions of expertise here HAHAHHA

@them-awesome-rarepairs i have !! two for today :D

Rarepair Week 2023 Day 4 ; angst / dreams

Ethan Nakamura/Alabaster Torrington & Jake Mason/Michael Yew

spoilers for the ethabaster one bc im giggling v

day four ethabaster entry: fluffy cat dads !!

day five ethabaster entry: alabaster fucking dies

[yeeticusdeleticus]

I will never understand how Uni managed to make the Zogok, this lil goobus

And then they just make it the coolest fuckin mobile suit in the entire Torrington raid

How?

[drksanctuary]

I think that a story about Alabaster Torrington “hoid-ing*” around the riordan mythoverse would be so cool.

*hoid is a frequent side character (turned main character) in Brandon Sanderson’s cosmere novels who often hops around from world to world, seems to know a lot about everything (but also know nothing )and is a cheeky lil bastard about it.

[lucaonthropy]

I just wanna draw them together before all the mess started. Also, I just read the Son of Magic today and boy I love Alabaster.

[11queensupreme11]

Queen. I'm hella begging for dirty headcanons with Etienne and Alabaster— I know it sounds wrong but blame Essie for making me die for these two hot wizards. 😩😩😩 (Lmao it's okay if you're not comfortable writing, I understand lol) but if you do,,, can you make a smut headcannon—

Excuse me??? A SMUT HEADCANON???? IN MY HOLY TUMBLR??? YOU FILTHY SINNER—

Of course I'll do it for you! 💖

This turned out to be kinda long, but that's okay since I only had two characters to do.

ALABASTER C. TORRINGTON

WARNINGS: dubcon, baby trapping, and yandere themes cuz duh

pansexual, would prefer to date a mortal rather than a demigod/wizard/witch/etc.

this is gonna be hard to believe, but he's a virgin. boy spent most of his childhood and teenhood in the army where he had to look after 10+ kids while also leading an army of teenagers. his adulthood was spent in exile and it didn't help that mommy dearest had him babysit his extremely unhinged lil brother.

sooooo yeah, it's no surprise he has absolutely ZERO experience in the romance department. man's never even held another person's hand aside from his little siblings 😂

i don't even think this man had time to jack off??? his life was 1000% dedicated to taking care of his little siblings and winning the war

(only to end up failing at both LMAO HAHAHAHA, sorry sorry i'll stop)

ok ok i'll get to the dirty parts now hee hee

since he's a virgin with literally NO sexual or romantic experience, he'll be SO easy to overstimulate

at the beginning, he'll be a bottom or a borderline service dom. it'll be so cute though because he'll try so hard to please you, only to end up cumming the second you touch him

BUT LITTLE DO YOU KNOW that he's actually paying attention to your reactions and feelings. when you so happen to moan louder when his hands touch you in a certain place, if there's a position you like more, or when your eyes roll to the back of your head when his cock hits you from the inside at a certain angle—whatever it is you do, he memorizes it for later

you'll mostly hear breathless whispers of "is this okay?" or "do you like this?" while you're doing it and you'll answer equally as breathless

he's obsessed with you after all, not that you know it of course. he only wants to please you, to make sure you never leave him, and honestly, why would you wanna leave him when you fucks you so good?

once alabaster gets more experience and he's analyzed all of your reactions to the dirty things he does, it's OVER for you

sub!alabaster is gone now, he's more of a dom now but can be a switch though it depends

his sex drive is average, but he'll definitely use sex as a way to subdue you or manipulate you if he were to think you were drifting away from him.

you argue with him about his overprotective nature? he'll shove his dick in your mouth to lovingly shut you up 💖 and after spilling his load down your throat, he'll fuck you against the nearest surface until you're nothing but a babbling mess

he'll tease the shit out of you, and he'll be so smug when you're crying and shaking in his arms. he'll grab you by the chin and say "kiss me properly, babe" while his hips are ramming against yours

since you're a mortal and he's a demigod, his stamina will definitely outdo yours. there's nothing you can do about it either, he'll go as many rounds as he wants, he needs to make sure you'll never leave him after all

you're absolutely limp after all the rounds are done, and because he's such a good lover, he'll carry you off to bed and clean you all up, cooing after you and wiping the sweat off your face

"you're not still angry at me, right?" he'll ask you, though he already knows the answer

there's a dumb, lovesick smile on your face, but it fades away a little for confusion to set it. "huh?" the fight had completely left your mind after all the rough fucking you've been through

he could barely hide his smirk. "nothing. i love you." he'll say, and you'll say it back, perfectly naive and clueless just the way he wants it

after that, he snuggles into bed with you. you finally allow yourself to rest. your body is ruined, but you don't care. there's an ache between your legs, along with trails of cum. it didn't even cross your mind that he hadn't used a condom, and he was relieved about that.

and if you're a girl and you end up pregnant, then oh well. that's more of a reason for you to stay with him, isn' it?

ÉTIENNE ROSIER

WARNINGS: dubcon/noncon and yandere themes... this is étienne we're talking about here 💀

heterosexual, no preference on dating a mortal, witch, or demigod because he knows he'll overpower them regardless 🥰

the sluttiest virgin you've ever met

he's been deprived of love his whole life, so once he finds a victim lover, he'll be super affectionate and clingy with them and expect them to do the same with him

sex doesn't even cross his mind at first. he'll latch himself on to you, force you to cuddle with him and even spoon him in bed (with you being the big spoon)

he'll kiss you and shower you with all of his love—and you better do the same with him too or else—but then he starts... craving a little more...

you'll notice it when you're cuddling, he'll have you on his lap with his arms wrapped around you tightly, but then you'll feel a bulge down below and stiffen up because you know what it means. soon enough, he'll be humping against you, face flushed, and high whines coming from the back of his throat. he wants get himself off with your help SO badly but he knows he shouldn't because he was ✨raised right✨

he's a proper pureblood boy after all, basically a fucking victorian child

and BECAUSE he's such a victorian child, there is no damn way he's going to have sex before marriage. so you guys gotta get married first before doing the forbidden tango

you probably won't be horny for him since he literally KIDNAPPED YOU, but he doesn't see that. he's delusional after all, why wouldn't his beautiful blushing bride be excited for the honeymoon night?

"oh? she's shaking like that because she's scared and not because holding back her happiness? and those tears aren't tears of joy, you say? that's okay! i'll just use the mist to make her happy then!" 🤗

you're immediately bombarded with love once the honeymoon night starts

he's such an eager puppy about it too. as much as he wants to rip your clothes off, he's still a gentleman so he'll remove them carefully with trembling hands and a wide grin. once the two of you are naked, he doesn't even bother with prepping you or being careful. he shoves his cock right in you without a care for your wellbeing, he's just so happy to be inside you, because now you're both real lovers, a real husband and wife, just like he wants 💖

he'll coo over your tears and wipe them away with that sick sick smile on his face, his hips constantly moving to ram himself inside you and his hands keeping you pinned down. "y-you feel so good," he'll moan into your ear, nails digging into the skin of your waist. "i'm so happy now... i get to have you for the rest of my life. isn't that wonderful, my love?"

things don't get better after your wedding night. your life just continues to go into a downwards spiral and there's nothing that can save you (well, maybe essie can help, but this is supposed to be dark so)

he has a jealous streak a mile wide and it's the most terrifying thing ever.

if he ever catches you even GLIMPSING at someone other than him, expect to be dragged away and fucked in bed. or, worse, he'll use charmspeak on you to lure you away and you end up on your shared bed, with him thrusting his cock in and out of your already battered pussy without understanding how you even got in this position.

either way, you'll find yourself on your back with your loving husband snarling at you as he pistons his hips against yours. he's rougher now, not so sweet and eager anymore because you made the mistake of pissing him off.

"m'sorry, m'sorry," you would pant, hands gripping the bedsheets desperately as your body was forced to move to his whims.

"how could you?!" he'd hiss, hand wrapped around your throat, not too tight to kill you, but enough to make you see stars as he pounded against you. "i'm your husband, your only purpose for living! there's no one else you love, but me, understood?!"

despite his angry tone, you could see tears in his eyes and actually feel a pang of guilt (that's stockholm syndrome bby)

"say it." he orders.

and you obey "i love you, i love you!" you breath out, and your mind's so broken you don't even think you're lying anymore

[thenixkat]

Also I love working with the fact that Martin is canonically a member of a sorority b/c this means I can just give him/Team Mystery an army of sisters with any skill sets I feel like coming up with whenever shit goes down at Torrington.

Like, LaShonda who likes ninjutsu and knows her way around Torrington’s air vents.  Or Lil (@Kariachi’s) the cheerleader. Just, free female character factory that Martin isn’t allowed to flirt with.

[bimbokingorodreth]

Hopefully I'm not too late, John Torrington for the character ask?

give me a character (from anything ever) in my ask and I’ll rate: looks: somewhat attractive | eh | not really my type | pretty | handsome | beautiful | stud | gorgeous | SWEET LORD MERCY can you relate to this character on a personal level?: no | not really | somewhat | yes | they are me would you date/be friends with this character in real life if they were real?: total bros | friends | best friends | date | become their steady boyfriend/ girlfriend | neither |

I appreciate you sending this but this one is a lil bit crazy haha. Unless there is an actual characterisation of Torrington around the fandom I'm not aware of? Like my John Hartnell thing was based on the "Jart daguerreotype". I'm not actually into mummies, sorry to disappoint everyone.

[entwinedmoon]

Here’s Lil Torrington with his B(aptism) Day cake! It’s a cinnamon crumb cake that I made on a whim a few years ago for Torrington Day, and now it’s become a tradition (and it’s delicious!)

[drunklander]

Drunj!Der Yells About Outlander

Thoughts on Ep. 506

STAY AT HOOOOOOOME!!!!!

Ok, now that that’s out of the way... I kind of liked this episode. Which surprised me. Because usually I find myself neutral at best. But, considering how much I’ve hated disliked the last few seasons, I guess that feeling mostly neutral means this season has been better? The bar is low, y’all.

Could 1000% still use more Claire though. And more Jamie and Claire. And yes I know I’m saying that in the recap for an episode where the two of them bang.

I said what I said.

The title card’s powder blocker thingy looks like a plague doctor mask. We should bring those back. I found a box that had a bunch of them in it in the closet at my office once. That was weird. Also, stay the fuck at home and 6′ away from people if you have to go out on a supply run or take a walk.

Ooo, a flashback! I miss Scotland.

“Whom do I address, sir?” “I am Samuel Torrington,” said the guy who is most def *not* Samuel Torrington.

I know I shouldn’t laugh because of what’s about to happen, but looool at the girl for stepping in the literal one spot of mud.

Well that was dumb. Why the fuck would you run in between your dad and the guy he’s clearly gonna shoot?

I mean, it’s super sad, I guess. But also hella dumb.

Ah, a lavender pillow. Yes, I know it’s from the book. But between this and the BJR stuff, it’s like, do they know other smells exist?

But yeah, guess I shouldn’t talk since I have lavender hand soap, lavender lotion, lavender tea and a lavender candle.

It’s the best smell.

Ok, I get why Murcasta can’t be endgame. That was a good decision. But including Innes BeCaUsE tHe BoOk is dumb af. They got to the right decision to break up Murcasta, but for the wrong fucking reason.

Like, seriously though, can we please take a moment to appreciate how dumb this is? Like, book!Innes is from Ardsmuir. He’s been part of the squad. He’s basically one of Jamie’s most trusted friends. And he marries Jocasta. Show!Innes is literally some dude we’ve never heard of until last week because the fucking writers were like oh, Jocasta has to marry someone named Duncan Innes. Guess we should make that happen, out of the blue, for no other reason. Lazy idiots...

Jocasta has better handwriting than I do and I can fucking see what I’m doing.

Also lol at her straight up ignoring Roger saying that Jemmy won’t take her money.

Cut to Jemmy crying about the fact that he is now a participant in chattel slavery. I feel you, Jem.

Oh, it’s a cold? Ok fine, but also the whole chattel slavery thing.

ADSOOOOO! Such a good lil floofer! Look how nice he is, bringing them that excellent bug! WHO’S A GOOD KITTY? YOUUU ARE!

I really like Claire’s necklace. Also Claire’s neck. Also Claire’s collarbones. Also Claire. Can we have more Claire please? And less manpain in general?

D’awww, Lord John Grey the awkward gay. GIVE HIM AN APPROPRIATE BOYFRIEND ALREADY, YOU COWARDS.

Tryon is such a fucking douche. So is Quincy Arbuckle.

Well, it might not prevent tumultuous and riotous assembly, but not hanging out in groups larger than 10 sounds like a greAT FUCKING IDEA RIGHT NOW.

STAY AT HOOOOOOOOOOOOME. (If you are able to, and if you have to go to work, WASH YOUR HAAAAAAAAAAAANDS.)

Fergus, Marsali and Bree standing around this room being disappointed with Roger is A Mood™.

Team Give Fergus and Marsali More to Do

Oh, you’ve never been comfortable in your big fancy mansion? Poor you. *plays the world’s smallest violin*

News spreads slowly in/from the backcountry except, apparently, Claire’s medical advice.

Claire Fraser said reproductive rights!!! *ups monthly donation to Planned Parenthood*

The casting for Wylie is fucking perfect. Like kudos to the casting folks again.

I cared more about the Regulator shit in the show than the book because Murtz, but all the “Oh it’s happening! JK, it’s not! JK, it is!” that they took from the book is making me care less about it. Just happen already or fuck off.

Yes, I know it’s gonna happen next week.

Roger shoveling shit makes me happy. Because it’s gross and I do not like Roger.

“You keep shoveling your shit.” -- The Fandom Bree

Wylie should be a caricature with how fucking terrible he is, but let’s be real. We've all run into a guy like that.

Oh, Claire’s rings.

I did some mental gymnastics years ago to try to wrap my brain around why Claire would still wear an emotionally abusive piece of shit’s Fred’s ring. And the fact that the books and the show are like nope, she just likes Fred, drives me up a fucking wall every time.

“He must have been quite the man to inspire such devotion after all these years.” “Nah, he was an asshole. A complete and utter piece of shit. And instead of going with that and all the complexities it brings, we continue to gaslight the audience that he was a Good Dude. Instead of using the ring as a symbol of something more than fucking Fred, we just keep on pretending he didn’t suck.”

I hate everyone involved with refusing to acknowledge how shitty Fred was.

There is literally only one smuggler in the Carolinas.

DO NOT GO WITH THE CREEPY MAN TO A SECOND LOCATION. CLAIRE, THIS IS BEING A WOMAN 101. NEVER GO WITH A CREEP TO A SECOND LOCATION.

“I get a biblical plague.” You get what you deserve, Rog.

Jamie, chill with the extra testosterone. Just punch the bro or something.

Also don’t fucking blame the victim, asshole.

Literalol at Bree showing the women her like stick and sheet fan thing and then cut to all the people with just little squares, barely doing anything.

“Don’t stop! Keep your fires going!” *everyone stops and just stares at the bugs*

Gonna go ahead and take this time to remind folks that’s it’s fucking gross to get married on a plantation. Don’t do that thing.

I know a guy who is like proud of the fact that he’s an asshole. He talks about it like it’s one of his defining traits. This scene with Wylie being like “buddy, I love my shitty reputation” reminds he of that guy. I cannot fucking stand that guy.

*ignores Claire’s feelings about Fred’s dumb ring and headcanons in my own reasons instead because I cannot even with this nonsense anymore*

Ah, the Lindsays like Roger now. I still do not like Roger.

I fucking love this whole Murcasta scene. Can we get one of these for Jamie and Claire? I miss them having big sweeping scenes that have time to breathe and unfold and all the good shit like Murcasta gets here.

The show keeps trying to deny it, but scenes like this are where it’s strongest. But it refuses to accept that this is its lane and keeps trying to go elsewhere.

I miss Jamie and Claire.

I miss the MacKenzies.

I wanna give Jocasta a hug. She’s still trash for enslaving people, though.

Maria Doyle Kennedy is a goddamn treasure. Seriously, her casting was the best choice the show made in years.

That and saving Murtz, of course.

So fucking glad they cut the creepy-ass foot thing.

Jamie, you’re drunk, but read the fucking room. Claire’s right. Just because she says shit from the future all the time doesn’t negate the fact that she’s right about you right now. Also, seriously? You’re taking *this* opportunity to call her out?

Buddy deserved that slap.

Look, I’m always down for the Frasers to fuck. More Fraser fucking, I say. But this is just another instance like their fight at Lallybroch where the fight itself is never actually resolved like it should be. They just fuck about it and magically everything is ok again. Le sigh.

Murcasta gets a big long scene with time to breathe and talk through everything and it’s riveting af. But Jamie and Claire never get that anymore and it pisses me off tbh.

Stop shoehorning in book lines! She can’t see shit through all the skirts and stuff!

I miss the Lallybroch ring. What did they ever end up doing with it? It’s floating around somewhere.

Bonnet is so evil to 11 about fucking everything that it makes him boring. We get it. You’re a bad guy. Do you also have a tiny dick or something that you’re overcompensating for?

Can we please wrap this Bonnet shit up this season? I swear if they drag it out as long as they do in the books I’m gonna be rull annoyed.

Ok so now the war is actually gonna for real happen and I’m like legit out of fucks to give about it because Murtz aside, they’ve done the “it’s coming, jk!” fake out too many times...

Can they try to hang Murtz instead? Because I swear spending half a season with emo!Roger is cruel and unusual punishment.

[everythingwasalreadypicked]

may i offer up a mortal au where the ta are content creators ^.^ perhaps alabaster, chris and ethan do gameplay vids together

I remember talking a few times in the server as them with content creators YESSSS

Chris, Ethan and Al are the most chaotic trio ever that they barely finish a game most of the time.

Chris is probably the guy who sticks around and tries all dialogue options and wants to find every possible ending

Ethan hates side quests with his entire might, he wants to stick to the main plot and strictly play by the rules

Al is just *vibes*, the chaos, he just jumps over Npcs and roofs. Very good at climbing things tho

Their channel name can be The Labyrinth bc hah

Sorry (not sorry) Chris

[animatronicappreciation]

hey to the last anon with the question about those germ animatronics in CT. I’ve lived here my whole life and I also vaguely remember something like that. I looked up children museums in CT and I think it could have been from the Children’sMuseum in West Hartford, Stepping Stones Museum in Norwalk, or KidsPlay Children’s museum in Torrington. Hope this hells narrow the search a lil! xx

@ Germs anon: try looking into these! :D

Also, non-animatronic, but I really like this whale from the first one you listed.

[phoenix--flying]

One day, Īsan, you and me? We’ll travel the world, we’ll visit Rome, just us. His fathers voice poked at the back of his mind. He was actually here, Rome. The Rome, not some Roman camp. “What’s wrong?” Ethan looked over at Al and smiled a little. “My dad always wanted to take me here, Rome, I mean.” Alabasters eyes stayed on him for a moment before he offered a small smile. “It’s weird, y’know? I never thought I’d ever actually be in Rome. But…it doesn’t feel right without him.”
