#workaholic

[honey-bri-books]

He's not thinking about Henry when he puts in twenty-three hours in his first week of work, or when he's filling the rest of his hours with class and papers and going for long runs and drinking triple-shot coffees and poking around the Senate offices. He's not thinking about Henry in the shower or at night, alone and wide awake in his bed.

Except for when he is.

Which is always.

Bonus:

The depiction of Aleksandr Kallus as being equal parts workaholic and alien-gay will bring me back to this fandom every hecking time. I just love rebels and you cannot convince me that the ghost crew didn’t absolutely get on this man’s case literally every chance.

My thoughts and headcannons about Dammon:

For starters, a pure headcannon is that one of his parents or grandparents is elven or human given the uncommon whites of his eyes. Also why his overall look seems almost more delicate compared to the other tieflings refugees we find in the Druid Grove.

I daydream about if and how he struggled to navigate in two worlds where perhaps he always felt a little out of place. Not quite fitting in with either, and so he turned to his craft with more zeal than most to find solace. Or maybe his clever mind alone made it hard to relate to most, too. So he often goes inward to a place where he feels he belongs, safe, and it helps shelter his creative soul.

It might be part of the reason why he stuck to his forge rather than joining the others in celebration. Large gatherings make him a little uneasy as he's not well-versed in small talk. His mind instead buzzes away to pick apart and resolve problems instead. He likes to keep moving and forgets to eat, sleep, and clean up sometimes.

Right now, he comes off confident yet humble and aware of his limitations when it comes to his art.

"He blames his tools."

No, he has a very thorough understanding of what he can do with what he has and yet he continues to always strive to push past those limits. He finds a way to make do in any circumstance, learn from it, and always seek solutions.

That is the most wonderfully appealing and relatable thing about him with other creative souls-or anyone for that matter. His work is everything to him as it drives away bad memories and has been his safe space for most if not all of his adult life or even longer.

As for those eyes of his to me, they look like solar eclipses in a summer's sky now. I think he knows how to wield them to advantage but only just a little.

He's not very practiced at seduction as his hammer. I get a sense that he's suffered a rejection in the past that cut so deep it makes him hesitant to this day. That and he kinda comes off as an overthinker, which can fuel doubts when it comes to matters of the heart. The way he moves, his head dipping comes off a little shy with only a vague idea of just how bewitching he can be. He's most confident and shines the brightest when speaking about his work. He's the most breathtaking in those moments.

On launch, at seeing how he had been changed, all I could whisper aloud in awe was, "Whoa... they sure gave him a glow up! Wow, his eyes are even more mesmerizing now..."

But even in early access, I fell for that dreamy look he had in them when they lacked an infernal glow and were but red and gold. We all fell for his wistful yearnings murrmered as he worked. How it plucked at our heartstrings and gave us a small, if not large, compulsion to bring him every hammer or other forge related item we found.

Even in the city of Baldur’s Gate, if I see a hammer or ingot, I snatch it up and think, "Dammon could sure use that!"

That simple idea: that you can rest. That you 'must' rest. Made me realize how much had been shamed out of me.

Seeing marks new vid title i didnt even flinch, I straight up was "omg he will take a break finally?" Cus lets be honest man is workaholic to a fault he aint quitting untill he makes a full tv show both animated and live action (im talking full 22 eps shows).

And then i watch the video and realize he isnt even taking a break!!! Like sir mantaining a normal video schedule after a FULL MOVIE is not a "break"

Amy, momiplier tie him up and go to bahamas or smth or go to korea again give him a piña colada.

“Nico never considered failure an option, and whether that was ultimately to his detriment, at least it did not restrain him… Why not reach further, for things beyond his current grasp?”

Hey Phrike, after a day of doing whatever important missions you have, how do you relax?

Phrike: Relax?! HA! As if I ever have time for such things!! There is just to much to do for me.

But if I wanted to,... a glass of fine whiskey and the company of some pretty Ladies. That would relax me for sure.

Whump Prompt #957

Submitted by anon - thanks!

Whumpee is the team insomniac and resident workaholic to boot. Logically, their teammates know they must sleep sometimes, but they've never seen it themselves. So, when whumpee gets hurt or sick, it's almost a shock for the team. They've never seen whumpee vulnerable before. Their near superhuman image shatters. (Bonus if the team goes on a road trip or something and whumpee falls asleep and the entire team is like "holy shit they can do that.")
