"back on my bullshit" in reference to recurring hyperinterests dating back to middle school and beyond
there’s something about hands:
• splayed flat over someone’s chest, a warm, grounding anchor. “easy. easy. lay still.”
• knuckles raked across a sternum. “come on back now… that’s it. there you are. deep breaths for me.”
• the vulnerability of uncovering a painful wound to let someone else inspect it. “i promise i’ll be really gentle, but i have to take a look.”
• gently frantic. “oh my god. is that blood? is all of that yours?”
• A held captive, strung up to the rafters by their wrists. B finally rushes in, clutches A’s face in their hands, tips their chin up. desperately searches for any hint of awareness. “A. A, look at me. please look at me. i need a medic over here!”
• B’s cool hand pressed against A’s fever-hot forehead. bonus points if they cup the back of A’s head with the other hand at the same time. A closes their eyes and leans into the touch ever so slightly.
Caretaking prompts for when Whumpee trusts nobody except one person (Caretaker)? 🥺
oooh this is such a good trope.
Obviously, there’s always “make that one person unavailable to them so they have to make due with the others, making them scared and upset.” Caretakers who just have to keep reassuring a delirious whumpee who keeps forgetting that their trusted person isn’t there.
Or, if you want a much darker version, whumpee forgetting that caretaker is dead and has been for some time. The team not having the heart to tell them that, so they just keep promising that caretaker is on their way just to get them to relax.
Caretaker finding out that whumpee is sick or hurt and rushing back as fast as they can knowing that whumpee isn’t going to be able to rest until they’re reunited.
Whumpee struggling to get up and not settling down until caretaker takes their hand and soothes them, which makes them instantly relax.
If you want a little carewhumpee action: carewhumpee is sick or injured, too, but won’t stop and rest until whumpee is recovered, leading to them worsening their own condition.
Maybe they don’t have much canon chemistry but can you IMAGINE if the prophecy about the world ending to either storm or fire centered those two people and they were in love with each other
Why thank you sir/ma'am/insert appropriate formal term here. Always such a nice gentlefish. Made my day
there's a trans man reading this post right now and he's so hot
nico di angelo has 64 spoken lines in the titans curse and that was enough to get this fandom to adopt him. he is so powerful
i hate how you get desensitized to the cool stuff in your WIP if you've been writing it for a long time so when you read back over it you're like "this isn't as cool as i thought :(" but it still is! you just read it too many times
…Angel going full Eldritch for the kids
It’s almost officially Spooky Season so I thought I’d celebrate a bit early. (Gonna try to do some Artober/Suptober prompts during October.)
(Don’t repost please, but if you like my work, a tip would be greatly appreciated!)
my dream as a fanfic writer is for one day, one of my fics to be someones comfort fic. like the fic that they reread when they don't feel good and want to be happy. i want my words to comfort someone one day
despite what canon says, if a fanfic writer’s in love with a blorbo, they can never die
