nightmare drawn.

You know why. @derjaegermond

So, I think all the dash needs to know is that Helena is on top, Simon is on the bottom, and they definitely hugged afterwards bc this experience was a lot of a lot for both of them.

Odysseus.

you are that which men dream to be: strong, courageous, and noble, with more intelligence than you know what to do with. and, like all men, you do not account for your overabundance of pride. you long for your name to be wrapped in glory and honor, and your journey home is only made longer by your search for fights to win and monsters to trick.

DEATH AS REDEMPTION. Some things cannot be forgiven. What a shame, then, that so many consider forgiveness to be the be-all, end-all of character redemptions. Or that forgiveness in itself is the redemption. Whatever sins you committed, whatever actions weigh your soul down, the author has decided that you cannot make up for it... and so they will not let you try. No, you will not even be allowed to try and put as much positivity into the world as possible (you cannot restore the balance, but surely you could do something?). Instead, there is only one thing to do: Sacrifice yourself. You'll take a bullet meant for the hero, or tackle the villain off a cliff (dooming you both), or you'll use the last of your magic to get everyone else out safely. When the heroes speak of your death, they will act as if you have undone all your wrongs, as if dying was the holiest gift you were capable of giving. I cannot help but wonder... how much more could you have done, if you had only been given the chance?

// merry simonmas!

I love it!!! @yellowfingcr you being here is honestly a yearlong gift and we’re all the merrier for it :3

I think above all else, Simon’s biggest turn on is just taking in the sensory information provided by his partner: their scent/musk, running his hands over their chest and torso to see if their temperature runs hot or cold, tasting their sweat as his mouth moves from lips to navel.

He wants to hold their hand to see if their palms are smooth or calloused. He wants to tease and test, tracing his teeth along their skin to see the particular way they groan or how their breath hitches. Do their eyes widen from the pleasure? Or do they narrow in mild frustration? How patient are they? Do they prefer his touches measured and slow or rough and quick, maybe a bit of both??

Penetration isn’t really necessary, tasting and touching is enough; pleasure derived from mouth and hands are enough- although the sensation derived from penetration is a WHOLE OTHER WHEELHOUSE that Simon would take time to gauge and measure.

SO:
