“You broke my tea set!?” 

 Brick doesn’t necessarily WANT the bag of cornchips, but considering he and the stranger reached out for it at the same time.....

Yet Another Munday Meme : Accepting 

Ho boy. I had to think about it for a bit. So last year, my girlfriend, friend and myself went to an anime convention in town. We went to this 18+ panel that consisted of a sexy twinkie eating contest. I went up on impulse, not fully knowing what I was getting myself into. First of all, the host asks me what door I came in through “because you don’t look like you’re the age of twenty one. You look like you’re twelve. Are you sure you didn’t sneak in through the other door?” Next, I’m given a twinkie. I am instructed to eat it as sexily as possible in front of a room full of about 50+ strangers. Me being me, I panic and shove the whole twinkie into my mouth. One pull, that fucker is gone. I’m thinking, yeah, not having a gag reflex is definitely sexy! I have chipmunk cheeks though. I almost choke. The host looks a bit shocked and then says, “That wasn’t sexy! That’s just gluttony! I want my twinkie back!” 

“Woooow! Those wise old sages that Miriel spoke of probably exceeded their knowledge to cast hexes to make a human a Phoenix”

Water, why did he think this was a good idea? Separating himself so far from her with a sea that only he could gracefully swim through in one piece. Where only he reigned in supreme.. Did he truly feel so distant from his fellow goats, with his limitation to the land having been so little compared to his freedom in the sea. ..Now.. Now he felt the guilt stricken grief that banged at his fractured glass heart. That he would have been so foolish as to force her to succumb to her own faults.

He had to go -- even if it was foolish to do so. Kano had to reach her, and make sure she was safe after her dip in lava. ..More than likely he would have to cleanse her wounds, heal her scars.. A process that they’d repeated a few times whenever she stupidly harmed herself with her own fire. The Ocean was Kano’s toy, his home, and the only safe haven he truly knew. For the moment, it was his path as he walked across the top, the gentle waves flowing over his feet and soaking his pants. 

The rest of the journey to Makana was a blur, time sped forward in a way Kano hadn’t noticed. Only the sudden over-bearing wave of heat could have taken him out of his thoughts of locating her. And, when he finally reached the volcano, his vision was overcome with an all too familiar figure in the distance, standing beside Keahi.

Now, he can see his own hands with recognition--suddenly, the scars cascading from the tips of his fingers and up to his arm make sense. The flashes in his memories are no longer foreign. It’s all there--the burning, the screams, the tears. The tears. The tears. 

Water should still be in his lungs instead of air. Tsukasa sits up suddenly with a cough, to convince himself otherwise that, while this aching is familiar once more, he is alive and it’s all there again. 

Tsukasa ignores the sleeping form next to him as he gets up. He pretends like there’s no one there at all, like a bar has been placed between himself and Hadyn. Now all the lies make sense. The lies make sense, and Tsukasa would rather believe in the world where he doesn’t remember a thing from before. Everything that happened to Solitude--Hadyn leaving him in misplaced martyrdom--the lies-- 

It’s funny how memories can create a world of their own, but right now, there is no such thing as a world where Tsukasa can accept any of this. 

Nonsexual acts of intimacy : Accepting 

Two bros chilling in a (hot) tub. Except it’s a bit cramped, between the two of them and their current management of limbs. Fortunately, Thaddeus is flexible enough to keep his knees tucked up against his chest as he watches Hadyn from his side of the tub. The overbearing summer heat had been the surprisingly legitimate excuse here. Thad spent a long time whining. Sweating, almost in tears. And whining, and flopping around like a useless steamed fish, until Hadyn literally threw him into a bathtub full of water. And now here they are. This is the most platonic, and somehow one of the more oddly intimate moments Thaddeus has had with his best friend. They have been known to have their shamelessly gay moments, because, hey, that’s just the type of relationship they have. So this shouldn’t be a big deal. Thaddeus’s brain has short-circuited, right, and he should just stop thinking. He’s only beginning to cool down. So. That should be his cue to get those thoughts gone. 

But let’s be fucking real here, Thaddeus doesn’t think. Or he does, only to realize too late that his train of thought is miles in the wrong direction.
