    Abram stands frozen, stopped dead by the cold, hard muzzle of a gun against his spine. He slowly raises his hands until they’re level with his shoulders. For what feels like several minutes, the only thing he hears is the inhabitant’s shaking breath, the night wind against his ears, the distant tittering of cicadas.

    The fear he smells on the other -- it makes the situation unpredictable and, frankly, dangerous. But there’s something else he senses. This individual... they don’t seem like some ruthless criminal, from what he can tell. But these days, Abram’s not even sure that he can trust his own intuition. Better to just go along with it.

   There’s a notable thud as Ellie drops a duffel bag on the upstairs floor. She shushes them each time they try to ask her what’s in it, but their answer soon arrives as she unsheaths the clunky boombox. A case of CDs comes tumbling out, plus a handful of tapes; most of them noteworthy classic country and folk albums. Nothing wrong with a spontaneous gift here and there, she figures. Chef is a good friend, and someone that crosses her mind often - that’s enough reason.

listen to my unwanted opinions

♢ Has anyone ever tried to steal your blog? Your headcanons? Icons? All that jazz.

Headcanons… eh, yeah, probably. Usually only happens with canon characters for obvious reasons, hence why I’m very picky about the canons I choose to write (see: obscure side characters; and I think you can empathize with this better than anyone lmao). As for blog and icons – not that I know of.  but they’d better not. 8)

☢ What fads/trends are you so over?

The strict mid 20s - early 30s age range people seem to have with their characters.

☀ What’s your rp pet peeve?

There seems to be an unspoken belief that a character that doesn’t suit your character’s romantic criteria isn’t worth writing with at all. In other words, people constantly failing to see the importance of relationships beyond romantic or sexual ones. Friendships exist, guys.

✖ How has Tumblr RP changed since you started?

I feel like it was much easier to be open and reach out to other rpers some 2-3 years ago. I’m not sure if that’s just because I started a really small fandom rp (for the sole purpose of writing this zany, bumbling conspiracy theorist from Grand Theft Auto because nobody else was doing it) and things generally felt more… connected… but yeah. 

platonic touch

   Spencer flinches - just barely - when he first feels their hands on his shoulders. It’s a little unexpected, he hadn’t heard them come down the hallway. For once, he was able to get out of bed without waking them -- he’d rather let them sleep, especially when they need the rest as badly as he does. 

   Spencer turns from the newspaper on the table to look at them, giving a lopsided grin.

   “... Hey, there.”

   A moment after he turns back to the table, he feels their fingers wrap around the arc of his shoulders and begin kneading deeply into the tissue. Spencer breathes in sharply, not realizing how tense and sore he really is. After a while, though, it starts to feel good-- really good-- and he seems to almost melt under their touch, leaning forward onto the table’s surface with his head bowed. 

   There’s something even mildly arousing about how they do it -- no tact, just the sheer intent of making him feel good. A breathy laugh escapes him.

hows it feel to be……almost old
