The Queen took the stories and She ate them, chopping up poems, taking draughts from epics, swallowing vignettes whole. She was given offerings of playwright’s notes, sheets of underwater ballet choreography, links to illicit piracy websites, but it was never enough. There were whispers of Her favorite offerings, of philosophy books filled with notes, of abandoned manuscripts, of secrets whispered in the dead of night. Drop an elder with memory of unrecorded oral history from an oppressed tribe on Her doorstep at exactly 1:32 AM, and a pen that channeled untold wisdom through whatever you wrote would be gifted to you through assorted means. (Rumor has it Hozier was once sacrificed to her, but he’s probably been blessed)

"Sai, who always gave lonely smiles, she wanted to know more and more about him. There was no way she could leave him in such dark place"
- Ino Yamanaka ( Shikamaru Hiden )
Pov you live in an old lighthouse by the sea
● you wake up every morning with the sun and the soft crashing waves
● every day the smell of the sea greets you as you drink your tea or coffee in a homemade mug
● you befriend the seagulls and you feed them cookie crumbs as you read an old book about sea life
● you wave at the ships passing by and sent them kisses to protect them from storms
● during thunderstorms you stay inside and knit sweaters for your loved ones while listening to the rain
● sometimes you take walks by the sea and collect seashells the sea gifts you
● you make seashell strings and hang them and they play a sweet melody when it's windy
● you watch the starry sky with your grey cat and the moon smiles at you
● your room is decorated with old maps
● sometimes the sea gifts you things like the steering wheel of a pirate ship that now lays in your bedroom or the old compass of a sailor
I remember starting dracula last year and being like what is this why is it just this random man's travel diary, and it's funny to see now how my attitude has changed and I am so excited to read this man's travel diary, like hell yeah dude tell me what time you got to the train station I love you
"Good morning, dr. Yamanaka"
Saiino doctors!au where Ino is a Pediatrician and Sai is an Urologist and they've been secretly married dating.
commissioned this lovely piece from @YuiiuY_I love it sm!
permission to post this was granted by the artist.
Imagine an AU where everyone saw in black & white until they met their soulmate, then they saw colors for the first time.
Cue Dazai being kicked into a wall & upon opening his eyes the first colors he sees are within flaming red hair & piercing bright blue eyes. A green jacket hugging the kids figure as his foot remains planted on Dazai’s chest.
Chuuya sees stark white bandages across one eye and beneath an ill fitting white dress shirt. Dark chocolate colored locks. One honey brown iris with flecks of maroon shining in the sunlight. A black coat lying beneath him.
They both freeze for a moment, staring intently at each other, eyes blowing wide at colors they've never seen before.
Then they make eye contact, holding it for one beat, then two.
Then slowly it dawns on them what this means and, of course, their expressions move from awe to irritation. They bicker immediately, neither of them willing to give into fate.
Chuuya scoffs. "Oh fuck no, no way my *soulmate* is some shitty kid from the fucking mafia."
"How eloquent. As if such a tiny, brutish *slug* could ever be *my* soulmate." Dazai mocks in return.
Bonus points if the colors fade when they’re not together, until they accept they’re soulmates that is.
can't stand them
