my brain's very healthily and in moderation (she lied through her teeth) been focused on p.roject h/ail ma.ry the past month or so on top of just being mentally drained from the weight of existing so

“Hm . . . I'd have a bit of a care, Miss Melinoë.” He does, nevertheless, say this as one who could not possibly care less, as seen by the quirk of mirth curling his mouth.

“Not very business appropriate. And people do so obsess over gossip.”

ever-so-gently brushes a hand along jon's lower back as he walks past him (๑˘︶˘๑)

// . . . elias obviously

Answered! || @archeyevl

In his own defense, Jon would've flinched no matter who it was.

Casual touch simply wasn't something he expected to receive—especially in what was technically still his workplace, and even more especially any sort of touch that could be construed as intimate. Tim was the only one of his assistants who had ever been casually touchy-feely, but, well, considering they were barely on speaking terms anymore...

Thus it was mostly confusion that accompanied the instinctual way his spine straightened with a full-bodied jolt. "What on Earth are you—" But the question broke off into an undignified sound of disgust as soon as he glanced back and saw the culprit.

Jon's entire body reacted of its own accord. The initial jolt paled in comparison to a leap in the opposite direction. Putting a full step of distance between himself and Elias' infuriating simper and wandering hands.

"Don't—!" Instantly his voice pitched up into a shout. But before anything further could escape, Jon clamped down on raw indignation and forced that fire out instead through a harsh breath from the nose. Another deep, measured breath, eyes narrowed at the offender.

"Don't do that." Though they were still laced with anger, the words came out surprisingly level. "What are you even doing down here? Don't you have other people to make miserable?"

Cause it’s all done now I’m looking back at old stuff I did, and I can’t tell if this aged will or not BUT JAKSLFD past me didddd end up making present me vERY SAD

[jaradraws]

on the one hand: police brutality bad

on the other hand: fuckin up elias good

[archeyevl]

the thing about elias is that unless you're causing direct problems for him or in the way of his plans, you're basically safe

sure, he knows your deepest darkest secrets sure, he can at the drop of a hat make you remember something you repressed ages ago

he's prone to being a pos who may tease or poke at sides of you you're unwilling to address buuuuut

if you're not causing him any trouble? it'll be just that seemingly harmless 🤷 annoying and infuriating most of the time? yes. but mostly harmless

CONVERSATIONAL  SENTENCE  STARTERS  

❝  you wanna know how i know you’re a good friend— not just for me but in general?  i always feel better after hanging out with you.  ❞

❝  have you even taken the time to let yourself feel it?  everything that’s been happening.  eventually,  you have to slow down and let it feel real.  ❞

❝   i’m not really the advice type,  but i am damn good at coming up with distractions to forget the bullshit for a while.  ❞

❝  was this not what you expected?  ❞

❝  i think the whole idea of ‘finding yourself’ is kind of bullshit.  we are what we chose to be.  we make ourselves.   ❞

❝  did you come by for a reason or did you just want some company?  ❞

❝  i’m going to tell you this,  once,  because i think you need to hear it.  you deserve more.  you should expect more from the world and put in the work to get what you deserve.  ❞

❝  i brought some seeds for your garden.  i thought about bringing a bouquet but— this way you can grow them and enjoy them longer.  ❞

❝  don’t take this the wrong way,  but you don’t quite look well.  ❞

❝  don’t feel bad for not knowing—  i was trying not to bother anyone.  you didn’t know because i didn’t let you.  ❞

❝  miscommunication is a shitty trope in sitcoms and it’s even shittier in real life,  so let’s just take a moment to breathe.  and let’s get on the same page.  alright?   ❞

❝  is this a time for me to listen or fix it?  ❞

❝  i don’t really have anything to say,  i just know that i don’t really want to be alone.  ❞

one fell first, the other fell harder

[archeyevl]

since i made a post about elias i also need one about martin bc i've become intimately aware of the difference between writing martin in the first half of the series vs. the second half boi

martmart mode #1: comes off as timid, clumsy, apologetic over literally every little thing. tries to make himself small. desperate for approval from the people he holds in high esteem (coughjoncough). always putting himself last. accepts criticism and general asshole behavior when it's directed at him bc it's what he's used to and has learned to expect. ducks his head. tries to keep out of everyone's way. apologizes for breathing (yes it needed to be said again).

martmart mode #2: he's done. good god he's so fuckin done. patience is so thin you can break it by sneezing on it. sassy. so sassy. snarky. complains 99% of the time. everything he's kept bottled up for his entire life is now pouring out of him and he does not give a shit. still apologetic, but in a sassy i'm sorry ??? sort of way. basically he's done pretending. he's been set loose. he's free. won't hold his punches. enough is enough and martin blackwood has had it.

in both cases, he's still a manipulative prick. js. all of the timidness of #1 is just as much a trained demeanor as it is a tactic to seem overall unassuming. both intentionally and not. man's got a lot going on please send him to therapy

[archeyevl]

btw elias has two main "modes"

the primary mode that most people see: cocky, pompous bastard prick know-it-all (literally) of a man who's sporting a smirk 99% of the time and readily flirts or threatens his way into remaining at the top of the food chain. people's torment amuses him. he enjoys riling everyone and their mother up. punchable and puntable.

the secondary mode (that typically only peter sees): fussiest little brat of the century. he goes from exuding brat-tamer energy to being the brat himself. huffy. whiny. literally looks for reasons to complain just to hear himself talk. arms folded, slouched in his chair, pouty vibes. a child has more maturity than him.

and we hate him (/pos) for both

[clown-eating-pig]

out of the many tragic parts of martin blackwood’s life, I cannot even imagine how gutted I would be to discover my controversially older crush was actually younger than me.

「🔪 Almost like a ghost or a porcelain doll, the vampire continued to stare at this stranger. Although, was he one if Kou had brought him up? He seemed unbothered by his outward reaction. Confusion or causing discomfort wasn't foreign to the vampire. It was rare for someone to actually accept his offer, even his own brothers rarely complied. To the point that he often had to provoke them.

❝ ...I see. ❞

His eyes lowered. He sounded disappointed, yet somehow relieved. Physical pain he could comprehend. However, emotional pain...was difficult. It was a horrible feeling. His eyes rose as he heard him begin to speak again. He stared at him again, his index finger near his lips as his expression became puzzled. ❝ ... Concerned? ...Why? ...Am I..bothering you...? ❞ 」

[archeyevl]

I see, he said.

Meanwhile, Martin actually wasn’t all that sure what he was seeing. What he was making any amount of sense of, because Martin himself was still reeling, grabbing blindly at the most minuscule glimmer of comprehension. And there was none, by the way. Who even is this guy? And why do I keep running into the most ridiculous people? (Which is saying a lot . . . )

A good sign or not, though, when the other proposed he might be a bother, Martin couldn’t help a sharp, humorless laugh. Or maybe it wasn’t all that humorless. Maybe he was trying to take the whole thing less seriously before he drove himself wholly insane. Who could say?

“‘Bothering’ me is a . . . a statement.” A leap? No, not entirely. By the definition of the word, Martin supposed this was rather bothersome. Troublesome. For more than one reason. “I . . . Well, it’s just that you’re not responsible for my problems, right? I mean, I don't even know you. And either way, you shouldn’t let me take them out on you or anything like that.”

recently came to the horrifying realisation that elias bouchard meets basically every requirement to be considered a tumblr sexyman:

queer-coded

commonly depicted as a skinny white twink in a three-piece suit

evil but like. in a fun way

has both a doomed old man yaoi situationship AND a weird homoerotic fixation on the main protagonist

the colour green? I guess? I feel like that counts

incredibly Down Bad fanbase that’s incapable of being normal about him. yes I’m including myself in this category
