with the help of some very talented and amazing friends, i present to you an unexpected, very spontaneous meme list based on the beautiful art of cupping someone's face! there's a mix of romantic and platonic here, and even a few that defy the boundaries of normal relationship dynamics! i hope you enjoy! as always; DO NOT ADD TO THIS LIST NOR CLAIM IT AS YOUR OWN!

[KISS]: sender cups the receivers face in their hands before drawing them closer for a kiss.

[CHECK]: after an unexpectedly violent situation, sender frantically rushes to check if the receiver is okay, cupping their face to look closer.

[CLEAN]: sender affectionately wipes a smudge of sauce from the corner of the receiver's mouth, cupping their face in the process.

[GROUND]: during a moment of intense emotional stress, the sender gently takes the receiver's face in their hands to ground them until they're calmer again.

[WONDER]: unable to comprehend how incredible the receiver is, the sender decides to simply cup their face in their hands and marvel at them instead.

[LAST LOOK]: before going into a situation that may result in their death, the sender takes a moment to cup the unaware receiver's face in their hand, just to take a final look of admiration at them before they go.

[SACRIFICE]: the sender cups the receiver's face tenderly to distract them, right before shoving them out of the way (to safety) and facing an attack alone in order to buy the receiver enough time to escape.

[BELIEF]: in a moment where the receiver is lacking in self-confidence, the sender cups their face tenderly and professes their faith in the receiver's abilities.

[DISBELIEF]: after the receiver has done something completely unexpected (and reckless) the stunned sender cups their face in their hands while trying to get them to explain why the hell they did it.

[BETRAYAL]: trying to keep the receiver calm before the big reveal, the sender cups their face gently to keep them steady, and then reveals that they're the villain.

[WOUND]: after the receiver has been wounded, the sender tries to keep them calm and conscious by cupping their face in their hands and talking to them to keep them focused.

[INJURY]: after having been badly wounded themselves, the sender tries to reassure the frantic receiver by cupping their face and comforting them.

[RAMSAY]: after the receiver commits a culinary crime, the sender presses two slices of bread against either side of their face, cupping their face to hold the bread in place, and calls them an idiot sandwich.

the concept of having a girlfriend is insane a girl laughs at your jokes enough times and then you’re like i guess it’s my life’s mission to make you do that forever

continued.

So she was having some trouble adjusting to her new whereabouts. Everyone was looking at her skeptically, and it was like they were waiting for her to make the wrong move.

“I just gotta get away for a lil’ bit.” As Lorna offered her phone, Rogue looked at it for a moment, realizing that there was no one she could contact. Not her parents. She had no friends. She had absolutely no one. Only the minds trapped in her head, making her forget who she at times actually was. “I don’t even know why Ah asked for a phone.. I know literally no one.”

But maybe the minds in her head did. Was she losing it?

 ❝ What if Ah’m tired of fightin’? ❞ It was an endless battle, one she felt that she never truly won. Despite the redemption arc she had gone through, Rogue never found that she could wash the the personalities entirely off of her hands. Despite how useful her abilities were in combat, it affected her every time she did it. It never got any easier. ❝  I just feel... wired wrong, or something. ❞ Maybe that was a feeling Wanda could relate to.

@toxintouches​ inquired: 💬

send me 💬, and i’ll use a line from a sentence meme i’ve reblogged to make a starter for you. ⤷ Accepting!!

 ❝  it takes monsters to steal souls and fighters to reclaim them. ❞

Wanda had never considered Rogue to be a monster, not even for the mutation she possessed. She was always made to believe her mutation made her a monster for stealing people’s powers, and if she wasn’t careful, their lives too. If anything, Rogue was a fighter for trying to prove that she wasn’t the monster everyone thought she was. It was that strength she used to fight for mutant rights and to help humans that would have otherwise scorned her for being a mutant.

WAUW, SHE SHOULD DEFINITELY HAVE REMEMBERED that. Green eyes trailed after the woman, noticing that Carol was keeping her distance, which Rogue understood. She would have done the same if she were in her shoes. And to be frank, maybe she preferred that. She didn't want to experience anything like that ever again.

Despite Carol’s hesitance, she didn’t exactly refuse Rogue's offer but rather made a counter-offer that was more fitting for the both of them. “Well, Ah could eat.” There was a slight quirk in the corner of her mouth, deeming it a win. “Got somewhere in mind?”

IT DOESN'T HELP BEING THE BOSS OF SPACE ... or whatever. she's leaning against a wall, arms crossed, always at least a few paces away from rogue. if only out of some old habit. blue eyes flick away from rogue. as if she really has to contemplate stepping away. the world might end. SARCASM INCLUDE. carol breathes in, nods.

" — i don't drink, but if you'd like to find the greasiest food alive and eat that with me. i'm in. "

[toxintouches]

Dark purple lips were pursed in thought as a scrutinizing eye drifted from one vinyl to the other, stopping in her tracks as she saw something that piqued her interest. Siouxie and the Banshees. An alternative classic.

Hearing somebody take note of her interest, white bangs were shielding her eyes as she turned to look at them.

“Ah see y’got Siouxie and the Banshees.” Tucking some of her hair behind her ear, she turned her attention back to the vinyl that she was looking at. “How much for Juju?” It was a favorite of hers.

@toxintouches​

“See one of those you like?” Andrea set a box of CDs down, pulling her box cutter out and opening said box, getting ready to set them out on the display racks for any potential customers.

The woman had been in the store a while, the very distinct colors of her hair having got the goth’s eye. Andi wasn’t normally one for social activity, but it had been a long day, and at the moment, she and the stranger were the only ones in the store. She reaches into the box and pulls out a handful of CD cases, still in their unbroken plastic wrap, beginning to set them out in the rack, noticing the customer looking at vinyls, particularly the collectible ones, on the wall with a few of the Golden Records. A fan of the classics possibly?

[toxintouches]

It was for her own good. As the girl had neared her, Rogue’s anxiety had spiked. Even if it hadn’t presented on her features, perhaps coming off as aggression rather than fear, she hadn’t meant to be harsh on her. Though, it was an instinctual reaction

“I just.. Ah don’t wanna hurt ya.” A southern twang slipped into her voice, one that was particularly prominent when she found herself under great stress. “Mah skin’s poisonous. Ya touch me, and I absorb everythin’ you are.” It wasn’t really something she had explored much with aliens, but she figured the result would be the same; all of Starfire’s powers and memories would be hers, another addition to the mass of people in her mind. “I try not to get too close to someone, unless Ah have to.”

Starfire didn't even really think about this much. It was like nature for her - when she met someone new that wasn't an enemy, especially if that someone was offering to help with the mission at hand, she was getting close to hug them soon. Except that this girl didn't want that, and Starfire stopped when she stepped back.

"I apologize." She wanted to respect other people's wishes for distance, really, it was just difficult to fight her instincts sometimes. "I did not mean to press any closeness onto you. I can assure you that I am resilient and able to withstand bad things that may happen," in case she meant it in a literal way and it wasn't just a statement of not wanting someone close, "but I will respect your wish for no physical closeness. I am still thankful that we are able to work together on solving this situation."

@frxncaise ♡ for a starter !

Xavier had allowed Rogue some time off from the institute. Always caught on the verge of learning to control her powers and not, she figured she needed some time to do some soul-searching. She always dreamt of visiting France, and it appeared that it was going to be her first stop on her journey.

Despite how good she was at finding her way in general, it didn’t seem to be the case when visiting another country. A gloved hand waved towards a young girl who seemed kind, and right now, she seemed like her best bet. “Uhm, hi. Sorry t’ interrupt. Ah just wanna know, do ya know where this street is? I’m lookin’ for my Airbnb, n’ I think I might be totally lost or somethin’ because it ain’t here.”

SYLVIE:

Sylvie knew better than to get involved or interact with events and the people that inhabited the places she visited, but sometimes one could just not ignore the sight of someone else in peril.

Especially a young woman alone, like herself. No matter how small the injury.

“Sure,” she said with an amused smile, not quite believing that the nose bleed was as harmless as the other claimed. “Well, here. Just in case that ‘nothing’ turns out to be ‘something’.”

A knotted cloth was thrown her way, simply a little something to halt the bleeding and wipe it off her face.

As the woman extended her hand, Rogue could spot a small knotted cloth in her grasp. An offer. Taking the cloth in-between gloved fingers, she wiped her nose, figuring that the blood must have come from overexertion.

“Thanks,” she murmured, appreciative of the gesture. Albeit a little bewildered by where she had come from, and who she was speaking to. “D’ya mind if I ask who you are?”

gentleness action prompts.

They didn’t know when nor how, but Rogue had a bad feeling about this. It wasn’t the first time a young Jean Grey had gone missing. Last time, the X-Men had to go with Peter Quill to outer space to find her, and the Sh’iar had wanted young Jean to go to trial for the Phoenix’ actions. Considering how recent that was, Rogue couldn’t help worrying about the young redhead’s whereabouts.

One gloved hand was resting on Kitty’s back, whilst the other was held out to assist her on her descend from the tree. Hoping it would gather some perspective of whether she was in the nearby area. “Saw anythin’ interestin’?” Probably not, because maybe checking their surroundings wasn’t the ideal thing; but they had to do it first. It was in the protocol.

“You don’t think this a repetition of what happened last time, right?” If it was, there was probably a reason why Kitty was trying to avoid anything that had something to do with space. Rogue had heard plenty of times how much she hated it anyways. “Ah can hit up Danvers, if ya don’t wanna get in touch with your ex-fiancée. Ask what’s goin’ on.” Not that she was that fond of the idea either, but they were on somewhat decent terms now.
