Lean into the funny idiot archetype so that when you’re unexpectedly hypercompetent at something they give you The Look where you can see them reexamine their entire perception of you in confusion, respect and no small amount of fear, and when you keep playing funny idiot they will be forever wary of you. Let them find out, incidentally, that the jester keeps a knife under his hat, and never figure out how to deal with that because they won’t abandon their boxes.

“‘Your trauma made you stronger.’ No, my trauma made me traumatized. It made me weak, gave me sleepless nights and memory loss. It gave me feelings I never wanted. I made myself stronger by dragging myself out of a dark place and dealing with consequences that weren’t my fault.” - RK @rkkaaayou

• Twilight • Sunsets •

Summary: Twilight surprises you with a ride through the forest to a little spot he’d picked out just for you.

Characters: Lu Twilight x GN!Reader

Warnings + AN: none, safe for everyone. Written by Mishwanders. Pls do not repost. Reblogs are appreciated though! @xxbuttercup and @wayfayrr have been filling my head with ideas lmao. Thanks for helping me break the writing drought!

“Come on, darling. I’ve got something to show ya.”

Twilight held his hand out to you from his position seated atop Epona. He’d been out patrolling the area while the rest of the chain were setting up for camp late that afternoon and it seemed he’d found something he thought was worthwhile.

You obliged him, placing a foot in the stirrup and a hand in his as he pulled you up to the saddle. He kept a hand on the reign, wrapping an arm around your waist. He reassured you that it was “just to keep you secure”, but with the playful smile lingering on his lips and the gentle yet firm placement of his hand on your hip, you knew he was enjoying the moment to have you close to him.

Epona then turned on his command and trotted through the dimly lit forest to the mysterious destination away from camp. Your mind wandered in curiosity to what he’d found, what he thought was so important to show you. The answer soon came to you when they brought you to a clearing at the cliffs edge.

The sky looked as if it were a painting with its vast array of purples, blues, pinks, and orange with drops of white stars settling into it, on the canvas of it all as dusk settled over Hyrule.

“It’s beautiful.” You admitted softly, eyes still turned upward at the sky in awe.

Twilight smiled at your words, replying, “You’re not wrong about that sweetheart.”

He leaned in to you, wrapped both his arms around you now, pulling you closer as he rested his head on your shoulder. You could have sworn you felt his heart beat racing faster in his chest as you leaned back against him and into the embrace.

It was nice moment, romantic even as you both stayed there in comfortable silence, watching the sun slowly descend down, revealing more stars. You couldn’t help but take subtle glances at him, admiring his handsome features in the soft light. The name Twilight was befitting of him, for he looked like he belonged here in this moment.

But you could tell something was lingering in his mind as he looked out over the horizon. His brows furrowed slightly, jaw tightened, indicating he was lost in thought.

You hand up to his arm, gently thumbing it to soothe him. “You alright?”

Twilight snapped out of his pensive thoughts, returning your question with a soft smile. “Yeah. I’m just thinkin’.”

“About?”

“About how this time of day used to make me feel lonely after everything I’ve been through.”

“Feeling a bit melancholy?” You asked, growing concerned.

He chuckled, nuzzling into your neck as he murmured, “Not even in the slightest.”

You laughed at the ticklish sensation, gently swatting his arm around your waist. Your reaction spurred him further, leading him to trail kisses up your neck, along the edge of your jaw, all the way to your heated cheek.

“Mmm, but you do make moments like this all the better.” He admitted, “It’s nice getting to watch a sunset with someone special.”

You turned your head towards him, surprising him with a kiss of your own. “I agree. It’s nice to just get to see it all like this. Do you think after this whole trip is over, that we might be able to do this back home?”

His smile beamed at the mention of home, the thought of it with you by his side caused his stomach to stir in gleeful anticipation for such a day.

Twilight kissed you back, his arms squeezing you closer to him as he replied, “I’d love that.”

petition to bring back saying "huzzah!" when something goes your way and "alas." when it doesn't

[spoopdeedoop]

in hindsight, pitching something that would be deemed a fair bit strange by some standards to a site teeming with already incredibly strange people was a mistake. apologies tumblr users i’d forgotten where i was

[nudityandnerdery]

Don't you mean, "Alas..."?

[whatjanesays]

I went through the code and saved the images for the boop paws.

Save and share to boop your people later.

Note to Self - Speaking without Words with Word Balloons

Word gallons are for more than just words. They can be used to emphasis and even add emotions and to a scene

Feeling dizzy? About to pass out?

A lilting playful swirl (Time and Time Again by Deo I)

The white and black of the text has been replaced with a sinister black and the words are off tilter (Sword Interval by Benjamin Fleuter)

The voice is coming from a place deeper and more unsettling and the text is uneven and handwritten

A dismissive comment literally (metaphorically) stabs someone (Marionetta by Míriam Bonastre Tur)

Being interrupted before finishing what is being said

A withering and icy reply (The Secrets of Soulford by the Quincil)

Wobbly uncertain bubbles that even break apart in some parts from dizziness (The Blind Prince by cozycroww)

Pain almost appears to be breaking the usually round bubble into uneven and broken balloons. The little smaller balloons around it are reminiscent of sweat or tears (Heir’s Game by suspu)
