psa!

so i’m going to experiment with moving all my muses to a multimuse (which will feature largely muses from another fandom + ocs, but this one muse will move there as well—); if it ends up suiting my blog-keeping style better, i’m officially archiving my solo blogs.

for now, though, i’m going to ask if y’all are interested in keeping on following me over there, please hit the lil heart so i can follow you? i’ll promo it officially later when i’m done with the graphics, but call this an interest check!

defender of tomorrow? you need to defend your hair from whoever's giving you a haircut like THAT!

martel swears a vein in his forehead his about to pop; as they stand, he can almost see it, the headlines—bird vastaya gives defender of tomorrow a heart attack! wow, what a great way to make his return to piltover memorable.

instead of letting anger get the best out of him, jayce approaches the vastaya with a smile (it’s more a show of his perfect pearly whites than a proper smile, but who really cares? he certainly doesn’t---). leaning in, he presses his index finger to the lhotan’s bare chest. “–you are so very lucky i can’t make you into skewer without ruining my reputation, bird boy, but lemme tell you something--” he grins, then, and he’s a far, far cry from the man on the posters. "there’s more than one way to skin a rabbit, or in your case, a parrot.”

crawls in here.

i’m gonna be doing some cleaning up on this blog but if i ain’t mistaken, his voice is back, so--- i’ll be around. 

[defensator1]

@nilirae​ is indulging me, thank you.

ENBARR IS NOT HIS HOME, NO MATTER how long martel has lived in these grounds. distant gaze upon the marching procession of soldiers, a display of the emperor’s power, he wonders if the bargains he’s made have been worth it. so much death, so many things he has left broken in his path. while he refuses to look back towards his age-old equal, he now knows there is reason to his own choices, no matter how nonsensical they once were to him.

"---do you ever wonder what would have become of us without these crests?"

his voice is as distant as his gaze as he watches the grim procession before them. hidden in a shadowed corner while wrapped in his long coat, jayce keep his gaze steady upon it instead of looking towards viktor---for practicality's sake, avoidance must be practiced (avoiding intimacy, one would say, is a goal they hold in common; he doubts anything in that regard has changed in the past years, turbulent as they were). his slicked-back hair has gone a silvery-white now that he doesn't seem to bother with his old pretenses anymore. such short life they are granted on the terms of those who broke them----so why bother with acting, when every day was a greater step towards the abyss? 

icarus, oh, icarus, you must always burn, no matter how high you soar.

he laughs then, the sound low and miserable as he shakes his head. “i know we had no saying in it, but if i could have chosen between peace and greatness, i really think i’d have chosen peace. ignorance, even, would have been better---hilarious, isn’t it?”

he knows there’s not a drop of humor in those words, but some pretenses, it seems, never leave him.

defensator asked: ♢ or ♦!! whichever you prefer.

Their movement was slow, steady rhythm kept by soft music that played on another of Jayce’s odd devices–Diana had accepted there were many more she would learn of and be surprised by. Having discussed how her ability to dance was nearly nonexistent and hearing her friend insist in his request for them to share a dance where he could help her learn a thing or two, she accepted and that was how they came to be embraced, pacing through the space cleared out in the living room.

An insecure glance down to check her footing, to make sure she was not stepping on his feet, and Diana felt a reassuring kiss to her forehead from Jayce. Immediately a smile lit up her features. How fortunate she was to have met him, to have such a bond of loyalty and compassion that allowed her drop those walls she kept everyone out with. Offering a kiss to his cheek in return, she rested her head on his shoulder, remaining in that embrace as they continued moving until the music stopped.

💋 uwu

Send “💋” to kiss my muse out of nowhere / @defensator

the diplomat watched his lover with mild amusement, brilliant inventor and mind, the defender of tomorrow, and yet the man still had issues walking in snow. cobalt eyes take in the hilarious sight of jayce’s over-exaggerated footfalls, booted feet sinking into the freshly fallen powder with every step. jayce wasn’t a man of the north, the freljord was cold and harsh, and it did nothing for his brilliant mind to stay here for as long as he did. sure it made robb’s heart pump a little faster, knowing that jayce was tarrying his return to piltover just to spend time together, even if it was in the bitter colds where he was surely out of his element.

with a chuckle, he marches forward, arms reaching out to grab at jayce when the man nearly slipped into the snow, the determination to become accustomed to the weather was surely admirable. “ smartest man of all of runeterra and yet you can’t even put on a pair of snowshoes? ” the redhead teases, but stops his not so mature comments when jayce’s lips met his own, and he found himself pulling on the fur lining jayce’s cloak and jacket so the kiss could deepen. 

kissing jayce always sent electricity down his veins, it felt good, a reminder that the man who was tangible and in his grasp now would still be his even when they were apart, off doing their own duties. once the need for oxygen become unbearable, they pull away and an admittedly dumb smile graces across his lips. “ i love you. you know that? at the risk of being too sappy i just have to say it. i love you so much. i love when snowflakes catch in your hair and eyelashes, i love how red in the face you get when you’re flustered and cold, and i love that you care enough about me to put up with the freljord… and the warmother. ” the last was a joke that made him pull him even closer. “ and i love that i’ll be the one to warm you up once we return to my home. “ a quick kiss to jayce’s jaw is followed by him expertly turning in the snow, their hands clutched tightly together so he could easily lead him through the tundra. “ i mean it, jayce. i love you more than anything. ” he wasn’t expecting the same reaction, the insecure and scared part of him still nagged that he wasn’t good enough for the defender, nor did jayce feel the same, that the man would eventually grow bored of having an avarosan diplomat warm his bed. still, he needed jayce to know how he felt, mutual feeling or not. 

“ look at me, as red as my hair. ” he jokes quickly, covering up any insecurities by dragging the other man along, mindful of the more slick areas of the snow. “ come on let’s get back to my home so i can warm you up. ”

---sorry for vanishing again, but health tanked for mysterious reasons this time around and i’ve been coping with that.  hopefully soon enough i’ll actually manage to write. i have been on dis.cord, however, and in case anyone wants to plot or talk about plot-related stuff, i’m around there, even if kiiinda sparse thanks to pain meds.
