Characters who are kind pessimists. They're kind because they've experienced The Horrors. 🥰

✦˖° @muses-inn : 💽— Is this human really claiming to be from the past? Sure, Murderbot has seen and heard a lot of wild stories... from all the media it has downloaded in the past, that's it. The SecUnit furrows its eyebrows, something it has gotten better at doing over the last months of practicing its expressions. Not that it doesn't believe the story, as weird as this seems... But what is it supposed to do about this? Report that human to StationSecurity? Ask if all the depictions of humans from the past in the media are appropriate? Okay, maybe start at the beginning and understand that human's motives. "And why would you come here to tell me about all that?" (To Arlo)

ᯓ🐰˖° Arlo blinked up at the SecUnit other person. Huh! That’s not the kinda question he was prepared for. Usually it was ‘are you out of your mind?’ or ‘how stupid do you think I am to fall for that?’ or ‘is there anyone I can call for you, sweetie?’

At least, that’s all he’s been getting this last hour (has it actually been that long? He couldn't tell). 

He can’t help the pained laugh that followed. Even his smile was strained. It was as if the poor guy was trying to keep his cool— but if how he trembled every so often (from nerves or fear, it was hard to tell) … he barely kept it together.

“Could—could you just tell me the date, man?” Arlo swallowed. Was his mouth always this dry? Adrenaline shot through him and his leg bounced in place as if it moved far too fast. Almost like he couldn't wait any longer, yet dreaded the answer all the same.

Then: a desperate, pained plea.

“Please.”

Beauty and the beast teas with Leonie and Arlo!

Those beastly men have a certain je ne sais quoi, Leonie just isn’t afraid to admit that ✨

[helenaus]

some assorted hcs for helaena that i will organize into a bio one day [probably when I'm retired]

she was always introspective but she's not as reclusive and detached as she's portrayed to be in the show. i quite like the idea of a balance between the doomed kassandra archetype in the show vs the lively, happy girl she's described to be in the books. she does get increasingly more detached after specific events that feels very ominous to her. especially hers and aegon's coronation

her bond with dreamfyre began through.... you guessed it.... dreams.

aside from prophetic dreams, she has a deep intuition that it's hard to explain and rationalize.

actual dreaming, daydreaming or whatever, her visions are always symbolic meaning she wouldn't be as literal as "you were swallowed up in the god's eye and you were never seen again", it's not as CLEAR as that

this one is a bit more tragic and trigger-ish [cw for depression, suicide] but helaena has had an unusual fear of windows since she was a baby. she's not afraid of heights, obviously, but windows specifically. she spent a good portion of her life thinking she'd be killed by someone who'd push her out the window. so it's kind of an oh moment when she realizes that the fall she'd always dreaded so much turned out to be her own decision

@endlessreruns / closed starter / arlo demont setting: the library

Rosalie needed to escape for a little while, easily leading her to the library to pick up something new. As much as she loved what the book club was reading, it was nice to read something of her own choosing too. As she browsed, she noticed someone else doing the same as she was and she gave them a smile. "It's hard to choose just one, huh?" She said, laughing a little. "I never know what to try next... Far too many choices. Even after all these years."

starter for @heartheaded

Arlo looked at the other woman and hummed a moment. "I don't think that we've been introduced before. I'm Arlo black." She extended her gloved hand to the other to take.

MEANWHILE ... !!!

ᯓ🐰˖° Like many others tuned in to the local news, Rabbot saw the broadcast live— and a part of him wish he hadn’t.

It was at his favorite bodega, while the cottontail crimefighter waited for his usual order: four hoagies, two juices and a jug of water. Yet, his lunch order would be placed on hold as breaking news blasted on an old television behind the register. 

The scene of two street-level supers held everyone’s attention in the small shop, all except for a mother and her son (who was pleading for not one but two candy bars). Rabbot tilted his head to get a better look as the owner turned up the volume.

When the fight first started and fists flew, Rabbot checked in with the ATLAS emergency comms, but everything seemed fine and all under control … hold on, wasn’t that @schattenmagier? He met her not too long ago.

Dispatch told him over the line that it was ‘just your run-of-the-mill squabble between street level amateurs.’

Until it wasn’t.

It took less than a second for Schatten to slaughter the first villain victim. Just enough time for Rabbot to rush over and cover the kid’s eyes. Both him and the mother shared a look, even behind the opaque rabbit’s helm, and then turned their attention back over to the television screen (the kid whined ‘no fair!’ and that he wanted to see, too!!!)

Rabbot didn’t know the grim gunslinger, but he knew the hero. Talked to ‘em a couple times in passing; nothing substantial— but enough to know they didn’t deserve that kind of death.

Neither of them had.

✦˖° • °˖✦

ᯓ💜˖° Somewhere else, Peekaboo saw it too. Though not dressed in her signature sparkles, but instead dolled up in a backstage dressing room of some hole-in–the-wall lounge. She comforted another artist with a stomach far more queasy than hers ever could be, and helped touch up his makeup after the shock wore off.

After all, not everyone was so accustomed to death.

It was a quiet night much after, with only a few murmurs whispered amidst the crowd while watchful eyes paid far closer attention to their shadows than before. Even up onstage and under the spotlight, Ophelia’s voice sang like a haunted lullaby for her restless crowd of regulars.

[gethound-ed]

she’s biting arlo just hard enough to leave a mark and soothes it over with her tongue — right there, below his hip.

Bite my muses | Accepting

Even anticipating the bite — because he was anticipating it! He's learned by now that if Moby's got access to bare skin, chances are high that she's gonna sink those teeth into him — it still stings. She doesn't do anything in halves, no sir. Not his girl.

His legs give a pathetic little twitch in response to that flash of pain/pleasure; but he makes no move to get out of her reach. Fuck that. The grin on his face as he looks down at her says it all: that he'd gladly take another, if Moby felt so generous.

"Oh, hell yeah," the wolf murmurs his praise in a voice that sounds almost drunk — as if her touch alone could intoxicate him. At this point, Arlo wouldn't completely dismiss the idea.

"That felt like a good one, babe. Think it'll stick around longer than the last one you gave me?" He threads fingers through her hair, dragging his blunt nails across her scalp as they travel back toward the nape of her neck.

closed starter with @cxncordia; allen & arlo.

arlo had been enjoying his night off. he had worked four ten hour shifts consecutively for the past couple of days. he tended to work longer shifts and as many days as possible during the holidays. since he refuses to spend time with his family anytime before christmas. it had been his choice to work many hours despite his superiors protests. but now he was spending his time at home relaxing and trying not to go too crazy while bored.

he hadn’t expected any company to join him. arlo made sure he didn’t tell anyone else he had the days off. when allen had knocked on the door, arlo wanted to send him away. but he knew it would be frowned upon since they had the arrangement between them.

it wasn’t really an arrangement. it was more of allen blackmailing the rookie cop for whatever information he needed from him. he didn’t want to do it, but he had no choice in the matter. arlo was stuck and had to play along to whatever game allen wanted.

he had reluctantly let him into his home. he got them both beers from his kitchen; placing them on the coffee table. he takes one and opens its.

“why are you here? i gave you info for the montha. what else could i give you?” arlo asks, beer in hand while he peeks out his window; making sure no one was close to his house besides allen.

[the-wolf-of-ares]

Arlo is really fucking rude. Maybe he should tone it down 🖕🏼

Hm, yes. I do see your conundrum.

Solution; have you considered getting fucked, mate? 🖕🏻

Some smug ass needs his nose broke, but he would never, ever get into a physical fight
