She folds her hands together, regarding the woman with a hum as she eyes her momentarily.

"It is not often I see BEINGS who have managed to defy Hades as you have...I am almost impressed..."

SHE PAUSES.

"...But I suspect that there is...MORE TO THE STORY than that."

She'd only been a goddess a short time, but her mortal life was RIFE with study, so while she suspected her cousins & brother needed adjusting when they ascended, Daphne was HARDLY the same.

             it isn’t unusual to be called away during an assignment. he goes to the highest bidder and so when there’s an opening well, he gets double booked. he didn’t think anything of it. he should have, though. he should have thought all of this through but he hasn’t had a coherent thought since it started. he has always known he is expendable, that he has an expiration date. he just didn’t think it would be like this. he didn’t think it would come in the form of a game for some meth eager to know what it’s like to kill. he wasn’t supposed to make it easy, they wanted a thrill of a fight and he wanted to live. but, he is supposed to be dead. not the other way around. he isn’t supposed to be standing here covered in blood, shivering in front of his client’s doorstep because he had nowhere else to go. 

“ 𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐌𝐄 𝐙𝐄𝐋𝐌𝐀 𝐃𝐈𝐃𝐍’𝐓--- ”  Stephen bemoaned when he saw Rosalie enter his study. While the Vampress wasn’t an uncommon guest to 177a, he had a feeling she wasn’t here to discuss Vampirsm. His librarian friend and apprentice had managed to figure out his birthday and had been taking great efforts to make this knowledge more widely known to his chagrin.  “ Surely you of all people can understand not making a fuss over birthdays... ”

POSITIVITY MEME

⇾  ACE, omg. i just 🥺 i remember when we first became mutuals, you IM’d me and said that i made you cry. i was so nervous at first because i thought i did something bad, but then i found out they were good tears so PHEW 😅 i know we haven’t really written anything together and that is more than okay with me because we still vibe so hard. i really am so happy we’re both finally following each other because i love seeing you on my dash. your edits are breathtaking. your energy is wonderful and i think you are a beautiful person who deserves all the happiness in the world! and i mean it when i say that i’m gonna make you a shirt with your di/sco name on it :’)

⇾  @markedwrath / @denieddeath : K A T E. there’s no doubt that i have to throw positivity at you because you’re always throwing positivity at other people. wow, you are just without a doubt one of the nicest people i’ve ever met on this dumblr site. i like seeing your little ooc posts that tell people to have a good day and all that other wonderful stuff because i can tell that you are genuinely a lovely person. genuine people are hard to come by nowadays so knowing that you exist and are also a friend is something that makes me feel a little better about the world. besides all of that, your writing is magnificent and inspires me to want to challenge my own writing and characterization. SO THANK YOU. you’ve done more for me than you will ever know. <3 

i’m thinking about the old guard now so let’s go with @valiantsword / @riverguides / i know there are others but i can’t remember the urls now & i’ve only written with arthur so i’ll focus on him. anyway: god, what ?? a gorgeous, gorgeous portrayal. the ritchie film was a ton of fun, and i enjoyed pretty much every second of it, but i especially enjoyed arthur’s characterization. i’ve loved seeing how luca’s adapted him to tog: arthur’s biting humor paired with that exhaustion, his sense of duty paired with the knowledge that he outlasts everyone & everything. there are so many layers to this character that it’s almost overwhelming, and he’s just so wonderfully layered: power and tenderness, ferocity and gentleness. and luca is such a joy. she’s so incredibly thoughtful; every answer is carefully considered and so informative. she knows arthur so well & loves arthur so much, and she is so genuinely invested in the other character involved that it makes me smile every time !! and it makes me feel very seen; the rpc can start to feel monotonous and anonymous sometimes, and having writing partners who care about what you’re doing can absolutely make your day. and all of luca’s ideas are fucking brilliant, so even though i might have no idea what’s happening in canon, i will happily follow her anywhere her creativity takes her.
