__________ MILLA – TALES OF XILLIA

    “Hm…interesting…”

‘This is quite the collection of informative books you’ve got here, Jude.’

…is what she would have said, had the boy in question been in the same room. Instead, Milla opted to finger over a few of the well-worn spines, stopping at a particularly weathered one whose words were so faded they couldn’t be made out properly. A discovery waiting to be made…a secret, perhaps…

Upon opening the cover and thumbing through a few pages, secret was the word she would have used had the loose-leaf papers said anything she hadn’t known or assumed…but a few proved to be factual. A warm, gentle smile curved over her lips as she observed the handwriting, the words.

Soft, like Jude.

__________ OBORO -- FE: FATES

       “Oooh! Lord Takumi is gonna look the coolest!”

   She claps her hands together, sucking in a deep breath before picking up her charcoal again to sketch. Deep breaths, Oboro, deep breaths. Don’t let your excitement get the best of your design [even if a neckline like this would accentuate his beautiful pecs–]!

Send me "alt!" and I'll introduce you to a character I've rped in the past, want to play in the future or are currently playing somewhere else!

any lasting injuries from combat? –  shiro’s body is littered with scars of all shapes and sizes-- some energy-based, others simple hack-and-slash, and a nice nasty energy scar where the druids fused the arm to his body (it looks as if the area was struck by lightning and is far from appealing)

Atlas still stands but does anyone else?

it's comforting to know he doesn't have to sleep alone anymore -- having shiro back was a reminder that he wasn't on his own, even in the vastness of space around them. so it was nearly every night that keith snuck into the black paladin's bedroom, curling against the other's form and sharing warmth and comfort in the dark, late hours of the night. this night was no different, keith letting himself under the blankets beside shiro and curling on his side, back to the other.

   He’d grown used to this– the subtle weight against him, the heat on his back, the familiar presence of Keith’s slender body and quiet accompaniment. Neither needed to share words in the dead of night when all but the hum of the hall lights and the shifting of blankets was silent. It had frightened him at first, made him tense, but nowadays it was so commonplace Shiro almost looked forward to the early hours of the morning when all the others were asleep, when Keith would come tiptoeing in and shuffle next to him.

   Of course, Shiro hardly slept prior to the arrangement, so he was glad to feel…safe. Safe and secure; home here in his bed and not on the roof staring into space at the faintly glimmering stars and hoping perhaps one day this would all end and he wouldn’t be so scared anymore.

   And so tonight, as the smile crept over his lips and the racing of his heart and tightness of his throat faded, Shiro scooted back ever so much more, gently, gently, so the two’s contact would be that much more tangible, real. A breath [shaky– audibly shaky and so surprisingly vulnerable] came softly through his barely parted lips as he concentrated on his back expanding and getting warmer, feeling the slight change in pressure as the air came into his lungs.

   In time, his tears would dry and his fears wouldn’t hold him helplessly captive…but for now, knowing Keith was there– that he had this and that he had the others, too– would be the best reprieve he could ask for.

   Out of all the places to end up after a long journey...this Detroit didn’t seem like it was friendly. Seem, even, wasn’t the right word-- it wasn’t friendly, by any means, especially when you had a car like the Black Lion and drove into the domain of the Duke.

   Which...happened to be relevant. Getting chased down in a high-speed run wasn’t exactly in Shiro’s plans for the day, but here he was nonetheless. Not knowing the streets never helped someone get away fast, either, and once another car [another one...how did this place have so many anyway?] came into view in the rear-view mirror, Shiro accepted this as a likely defeat.

   Oh...Allura would kill him if he lost the Black Lion now.

       “Damn--! I can’t lose this...”

( you thought that just because i've sent you portrayal commentary on at least 6 other occasions that i wouldn't send you one here? THINK AGAIN. (unless u didn't think that in which case i'm glad u kno me so well ♡) ok but fr your strengths persist as incredible and commendable as ever? your talent with dialogue – in its application, in its distinguishable but subtle connotations – never ceases to impress me and that's especially true of your shiro. [1] )

( without excess description you manage to encapsulate and communicate his inherent tenderness and concern for those closest to him. in addition, there’s those accents of concealed dorkiness in casual interactions that i adore and appreciate so much? you do a splendid job depicting and detailing all aspects of his character without favoring one component over another. and, honestly, that balance extends to your entire interpretation? you’ve accomplished and manage an outstanding equipoise [2] ) ( in your characterization of shiro that’s no less exceptional than your numerous other wonderful interpretations. it would seem that history does indeed repeat itself because your standard in quality hasn’t lessened in the slightest. ♡ [3/3] ) 

( ilu pls luv me )

tfw chea crosses fandoms 2 Wreck ur heart again–

I might write anything from a paragraph to a whopping essay, but send me something you’ve noticed about my characterisation or just something you want to know about my muse and I will write what I can!

I aim to be lionhearted, but my hands still shake and my voice isn’t quite loud enough.

                keith couldn’t  help  the  small  smile that curved the corners of his                 lips  –  it’s  so comforting to have shiro back. after losing him for so                 long, and being on his own, just being able to look into the familiar                 gaze  felt  so  warm… and keith, too, feels a flutter in his chest that                 he’s trying to  identify  –  something  that  wasn’t  there  before,  an                 unlabeled emotion he couldn’t quite pin down. 

                ‘it felt nice.’ 

                he finally settled with,  shifting slightly so his body leaned a bit more                 towards the other, but his gaze turned towards the dimly illuminated                 moon  that  hung  near them, stars flickering brightly in the clear sky                 surrounding the castle. 

                ‘i missed you, shiro. i was… kinda a mess without you to keep me in                 line at school.’ 

                he admitted, his voice soft – as if if he spoke too loud he’d wake the                 silent  space  around  them. and for now, he wanted to be alone with                 shiro.  he  wanted  the  life  the had had back. he wanted home back. 

                ‘im glad you remembered me.’

       “It’s hard to forget you.”

   That slight shift, the hint of closeness between their bodies...Shiro could feel it, the warmth contrasting the chill of the alien night. His own voice, soft as it was, felt like warm honey on his tongue...sweet, golden, and there was that kick in his heart that wanted it to stay that way. He wanted to talk to Keith like this more, more, to scoot closer yet until the static between them became a flame where their arms innocently touched--

       “I worried about you a lot when I was up on the ship-- but thinking about you, about earth and the academy, about getting home...it kept me sane. I remembered when we first met, and the time I had to stop you from fighting someone in the hall...” He laughs fondly, softly, looking away for a moment before looking back again. “Anyway...some times were longer than others, but...”

   His gaze falls with the tilt of his head, falls to Keith’s hand, moves then outward and is interrupted by a blink as he lifts his eyes again to meet Keith’s.

       “...I’m here now, and I don’t really plan on leaving again.”

      “how’d you do that to your hair?” It seemed like a worthy question,        truth be told. Like, why was it just white in the front? Was it a genetic thing        or was it an attempt to be edgy? A bleach accident, maybe? There was        no way that was … NATURAL , was it? Then again, what did she know?        She met any number of protagonists weirdos with natural and weirdly        colored hair. “Did'ja dye it or somethin’, mister?”

[aterleo-blog]

       “Huh?”

   Who...was this girl? Even though she was small and he had a hell of a time being taken by surprise, there was something inherently sunny about her, and Shiro’s initial reaction to defend himself subsided quickly with the genuine glimmer in her eyes.

   He turned, lifting a hand to pinch locks of white hair between fingers.

       “Er...no, no dye. It just sort of happened when I was gone for a year...there was an old saying that stress makes your hair go gray, but I never knew it was true until, well, this.”

I don’t care if you’re not perfect can you still love me if I’m not perfect? Let’s talk about the starry skies, The breath in our lungs, The beating of our hearts, The sheer wonder of us, and that will be enough. …isn’t that enough?

A Consequential Life (via wnq-writers)

[aterleo-blog]

shiro is at the very least demisexual-- he doesn’t strike me personally as the type to focus on sexual attraction towards people. i feel as if he’d fit the criteria of “requiring a strong emotional bond before starting to feel any sort of sexual desire towards a partner.” on this note, he doesn’t quite strike me as fully asexual-- he’s a passionate man with strong emotions (the time that comes to mind is the sendak cryopod incident) and while i could see it, i’m more inclined to believe he’s on the gray spectrum and not ace

as for romance, i can see him on the gray spectrum there as well. specifically...i’m unsure, but i feel as if he tries to form platonic bonds with everyone he considers an ally, and doesn’t focus on things like “would i date them?” when meeting people. it takes an existing friendship and a strong bond for him to feel truly romantically inclined towards someone

i want to make a short psa really quick regarding the confirmed ages and shipping--

i’ve already updated my rules, but

my tl’s been nothing but ship and age discourse for the last day, and while it’s good to have confirmed ages, i’m not a fan of the arguments and hate going on among people i know and don’t. i’m not a fan of the ‘o since shiro’s so much older now he can just be w allura.’ and i’m not a fan of talking about this in length

if i see someone posting ship hate or causing problems, i’m going to unfollow. i don’t usually unfollow, but i’m tired and weary of ship discourse. i’m of the mind that people ship or don’t ship what they want and just leave it at that. everyone’s got opinions and biases, so go wild kids. if you dislike something you don’t have to make a stink about it. don’t like something someone’s posting?? ask them to tag it. they don’t tag it? unfollow or block, and shoot them a message explaining KINDLY why you’re unfollowing (esp if their rules state they freak out when unfollowed suddenly). easy steps to avoid drama

please keep this environment healthy and friendly, and don’t let ship discourse and opinionated hate ruin yet another fanbase. we all can be more mature than this
