#they bring gifts of love

[nenayaquisieras]

Simon has always been confused on why you gift him toys. Sure, most of the gifts you gave him were some of the things he liked. Bourbon, masks, gloves, make up for him to smudge his eyes with, some daggers and knives. Things that we're useful for him, just him. But later, you gifted him a toy airplane. He makes a comment about it, saying he is not a child anymore and you were better off giving it to Johnny instead.

"No, this is specifically for you, take it."

When he gets to him room, he walks toward his trash can, opening it with the tip of his boot. He gives one more look at the toy, his mood souring before throwing it into the trash. He goes on about his day, training, signing paper work, drills. Doing anything to ignore the pain stinging memories that the toy brought back. Emotions that were buried thousands of feet deep it could reach hell itself. Later, he lies awake in bed, staring at the ceiling, avoiding looking at the cylinder shape that's calling for him in his peripheral.

Fuck.

He pulls the covers off vigorously and stomps over to the trash can. He is standing over it like he's trying to intimidate it, as if it was an enemy he's trying to get rid of in battle. To anyone else, the scene would look comical.

He sighs to himself and reaches down to take out the toy he so cruelly threw away. He sets it on his desk and quickly walks toward his bed, facing away from his desk.

The next day, he wakes up feeling different. He swears he sees his room more vibrant, more lively. That energy follows him through out the day, having his other teammates notice his rather bright mood.

You catch him in the hallway. Pulling him aside to ask him about the paper work you left at his desk this morning. Of course, he notices the way you smile brightly, more so than usual. But he notices that you're not looking at him. More like looking at something next to him.

"What's got you so cheery?"

You turn to look up at him, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"I just..." You take a quick glance at the spot next to him, before bringing your eyes back upon his.

"I just hope you liked your gift." The same bright smile appearing on your face.

He stares at you, examining your words. Your expression.

You think you see his eyes crinkle a bit.

"Yea,"

"I liked it."

I can’t get over the fact that post cannon Izutsumi keeps bringing Laios dead monsters as gifts in exchange for money. Peak stray cat behaviour. I hope she still goes to Chilchuck for snuggles and only eats veggies when Senshi cooks it. I hope Marcille keeps an exclusive brush for when the little kitty comes over for unfair trades.

yk there's a lot of talk about the way merlin is practically a god but lives as an unassuming servant, and seeing this surprises druids/other magic users. i wanna see kind of the same thing happen to arthur with the people of his kingdom. we know arthur so intimately, from merlin's pov, but i wanna see him as a living legend. stories of his valor spreading across land, blown out of proportion and missing details. “the prince slayed the great dragon and gifted its head to the king!” “some say the goddess blessed him when he was born, when she took the queen back. how else does one survive an attack by a questing beast?” “he held out his hand and the sword stuck in solid stone flew to him! iwan says meredith’s aunt saw it herself!” “the word has come, king arthur defeated annis’ champion—a giant of a man!” old men discussing arthur’s policies, comparing them with those of previous rulers, and being glad that it's him on the throne “finally, a good fucking king.” people having faith that their ruler is generous and fair and can be approached in times of need, and having the comforting knowledge that he would do his best to help because that's what he did with the other village last year! young boys dreaming to join his army and young girls daydreaming about a fairy tale ending with him (or vice versa, obv). just... arthur of his people.

what I'm saying is i want an outsider pov character study of arthur pendragon king of camelot. hope that helps

Hob likes giving gifts to the entities in the dreaming. Matthew, although with a human consciousness, does love shiny things. He sees some book categorizing stuff in the shops and buys it for Lucienne and continues to do so with things that remind him of her. Last time he spoke to Merv, he sounded like he needed more tools. He picks flowers when he sleeps to give to the sweet dreams that visit him at night. Hob understands that none of the dreams and nightmares really need these things, and he could always tell Dream about his citizen’s wants, but he likes giving them things.

the thing is Dream’s starting to get a bit jealous, even if he doesn’t want to say it. Jealous of his own creations? certainly not. And its not that Hob doesn’t want to give Dream anything, he just doesn’t really know what to get the Dream Lord. What do you give to someone who either has everything, or can conjure up anything they want? What is a flower to a king? But then he sees it. A ring with the same cut and beauty as the one Dream wore before, encased in a gold band.

He brings it to Dream without even worrying about the implications. It isn’t until he’s presenting it to his lover that he realizes this could be a proposal. He starts sweating at Dream’s stunned silence only to smile and twirl him in his arms when Dream accepts it. He doesn’t really know what becoming the husband to the King of Dreams and Nightmares entails, but as long as he’s got his lover by his side, he knows things will be okay.

(and whenever Hob shows up with gifts for his people, Dream only has to look at the shining ruby for the jealousy to turn away)

If the Siberian wasn’t secretly a weirdly sexual projection of a grieving father, people here would be so horny for her. Bitch/Siberian would be this fandoms Hannigram.

Just this absolutely feral woman using the only words she has ever spoken to tell Rachel "Are you tired of being nice? Don't you just want to go ape shitt?" and then gifting her a wolf puppy? — I am still not over this
