Non-spicy ways to show Intimacy

Intimacy isn't always just the spicy stuff! Here's a few ways to show it through your characters in a few, simple ways...

Kissing their S/O's hand, knuckles, wrist...bonus points for eye contact!

Speaking of which...eyes. Glances across the room, prolonged eye contact, staring at each other

Tending to the other's wounds/ injuries

Knowing the other's tiny habits

Reaching out to the other when in pain, trouble, ect

Whispering jokes to each other

Carefully wiping off a stain from their clothes or face

Taking care of each other when sick or hurt

Hand over the heart/ ear over the heart just to hear it beat

Pressing their thumb over the pulse point for the same thing

Tracing scars, tattoos, birth marks, freckles

Giving the other something tiny that means a lot, a picture, a shiny rock, a flower

In fantasy settings, helping the other put on/ take off armor...trusting the other to know where daggers, knives, poisons are hidden

Telling each other secrets/ thoughts they've told nobody before

Tucking back the other's hair

Putting a piece of jewelry on the other or letting them borrow clothes

Keeping each other warm in the cold

In cases with chronic illness, letting the other care for/ know symptoms

Brushing, braiding hair, applying skincare, etc.

Nightmare comfort

Wiping away tears

Proximity- sitting near each other, sticking close, standing beside each other while doing a task such as cooking, laundry, painting...

Sharing a book, sitting close enough to read it together

@artisticpunz wanted it, so here is the darker version of the s1 finale that i had in mind:

(i’m rather under the weather at the moment, so i may come back to expand on this in the reblogs if i think of more.)

-“set yourself free” should still happen, i think, but before that, i want rapunzel’s genuine reaction to being locked in another tower. no soft gasp and looking mournfully out the window. i want screams and panic attacks. she’s earned it. (give me her glaring at her mother in silence as she explains that it’s “out of love”. give me her letting go of the idea that these people are better than gothel.)

-scarier automatons! give them claws! make them pointier! you can leave the original automaton’s design alone, and imply that varian specifically built these to be deadlier.

-scary varian. he did manage to creep me out a few times in the original show, but i’ve said before that he should look worse. he should look like a kid who’s been in hiding due to being hunted down like an animal, starving, and living next to a suspended corpse for three months. his hair should be a stringy, greasy mess and his eyes should be dark-circled and his dialogue should be lurching-mumbling-laughing-broken.

-varian would pin ruddiger down by the scruff and inject him with the serum onscreen. he’d step back and beam with delight as the creature transforms, then turn and point toward the castle. the monster would rush for it.

-cassandra does not apologize to her father for being disappointed that he’d send her away.

-lean more into the propaganda! varian says “something dark is coming for you…”, “your king refuses to acknowledge it”, etc., and people are confidently shaking their heads. maybe some even put their hands over their ears. when frederic delivers his “let’s attack varian” speech, the crowd is listening attentively, ready to cheer.

-way more stakes in the robot battle. people need to lunge out of the way just in time, and the ground needs to shake with the force of the claws plunging where they’d just been. very few quips and funny moments. just adrenaline.

-a moment where varian grabs king frederic’s sword and holds it to his own throat. the man’s eyes would get hungrier— he’s looking at a problem that needs solving, and could be about to solve itself— and varian rounds on rapunzel.

“do you see?” he practically screeches. “do you see what he— what he wants, what he’s been—“

the conflict is clear on rapunzel’s face, but she reminds herself what is happening, and demands to know where her mother is.

-the queen would always be chained up by her ankles. no weird scene where her wrists are the only thing that’s tied and she’s just standing there awkwardly (like… just run, your majesty). she’d also be fighting against the last remnants of the sleep drug, which would allow varian to manhandle her like he does during one of his monologues (like… just headbutt him, your majesty).

-hallucination quirin… putting a shadowy hand on varian’s shoulder… he rests one on the side of varian’s head, and from his thumb leaks an imaginary droplet that looks as though varian is shedding a black tear… no one sees it but us.

-the idea i had in a previous post: the automaton varian controls has one-way glass. the characters only see redness, while varian can look at them. rapunzel assumes this is another independently-moving automaton, and that varian has retreated. the scene progresses as normal until she lets her rocks plunge through it. she hears a scream from inside, and the guards drag varian out. he’s got a bloody wound on his cheek, tearing through his ear. a wound that will later scar, being a reminder to them both. rapunzel will have to look at that damage as they try to forgive one another later.

-the handcuffs the guards put varian in would not be too big like they are in the show. for starters, that looked a little ridiculous, and secondly… i know corona has child-size handcuffs. even aside from its propaganda and the darkness under its surface, we saw them on angry and catalina.

-a shot of varian putting up a fight until he’s restrained.

-frederic’s last speech is met with a weary coldness from rapunzel. she nods along to his promises, and manages a complicated sort of smile when she sees the lanterns, but she doesn’t forgive him.

-a shot of varian looking up at the lanterns through the bars, their light reflected in his eyes. (he’s participated in the festival since he was a child. it was the only thing that made him feel united with corona, and now it is permanently defining him as “other”.)

-rapunzel being evidently shaken from more than just using that power. she’s never made someone bleed, and she wants to see if varian’s okay. but she’s also frightened, furious at him, and, more than anything, she just wants to leave. eugene and cass reassure her that varian doesn’t deserve her help (foreshadowing their own arcs in confronting their neglect), and the last shot is of their caravan departing.

You know, in other circumstances I might dislike making a character immortal, but I think that the Eridian medical thrum were faced with the choice between trying to solve Rocky's severe co-dependence and PTSD in less than thirty years time OR unlocking the secrets of the human genome and turning off Grace's aging and felt that the latter was a MUCH more realistic prospect.

Rocky is used to Grace's bedtime rules. Adrien? Not so much.

i had a dream last night that the entire world used a currency (?) called angrypennies which as the name implies are obtained by experiencing anger. the stronger and more intense your anger was, the more angrypennies you'd gain. an all-consuming rage would earn you more than a slight irritation, etc. so people were always searching for ways to fuel their anger and purposefully keeping themselves angry all the time because they wanted to earn angrypennies. unclear if angrypennies could be exchanged for goods and services, or if they were just a collectible.

anyway, as if this wasn't heavy-handed enough, at one point british comedian greg davies appeared and explained that angrypennies couldn't be worth feeling angry all the time. this was a real revelation to dream-me and i was finally able to break free of the angrypenny grind and allow myself to experience emotions other than anger.

kat

it goes without saying that i will be using the word angrypenny as if it was part of the common vernacular instead of a term that my dreaming brain conjured up i.e. "he's all about the angrypennies" (derogatory way to refer to a guy who searches for reasons to be angry and possibly lacks introspection)

Having a traumatic childhood means you cannot talk even objectively about your basic foundational experiences without it being "venting", even if you're not actually venting. You just straight up have a huge chunk of your life you can't talk about, full stop, without it being trauma dumping.

And it not being socially acceptable to talk about your own childhood is super alienating. Sometimes people want to know why, and any answer you can give them is going to be off putting.

It's to the point I get irritated when something I said is framed as venting when I'm literally just talking about my life experiences, doing my best to keep emotion out of it.

when I was in high school, I overheard two older students talking about a friend of theirs.

One of them said something like, "it doesn't bother me that [Friend] was in residential mental health treatment, I just wish they wouldn't talk about it ALL the time".

The other replied, "Well, that was all of last year for them. So when they say 'when I was in treatment,' it's like when you say 'last year'."

I try to remember that any time someone says something that sounds Shocking to me. sometimes one person's scary special crisis is another person's last year.

If you want to be accepting of mental illness, you need to accept the fact that some people's everyday lives are going to be terrifying to you. That doesn't mean they don't get to talk about it. Stop forcing hurt, isolated people to become even MORE hurt and isolated because you can't fathom toughening up a bit.
