Update?

I’ve not been doing well overall for a while now, but this week has been better, and I’m finally seeking out the help I need to improve my life. It’s probably going to be slow, and I’m not sure how active I’ll actually be around here but... I miss my blog, and intend to come back after spring break.

Right now I’m drowning in pre-con crunch preparations, so anything I do write will probably just be what I’m in the mood for- sorry... Also, I’m going to be launching this other blog really soon- so follow me there I guess?? Idk. 

And lastly- Kinda sorta dating @tafarad and @lady-jafar now woops.

[tafarad-blog]

Perhaps it was fever making him more honest with himself and Koumei, but Sinbad’s filter was essentially nonexistent; there was only so much CPU left in his brain to process thought, after all. He managed a smile, shifting Koumei’s hand so that their fingers were threaded together. 

“Mei…don’t you dare take away my pain and give it to yourself. You have enough going on and I care about you too much to do that to you.”

At the mention of a thermometer, he frowned once more, this time in thought. 

“Err…no. I don’t really get sick that often, so I’ve never bought one?” he responded. So why did he get sick now? He was usually healthy as a horse; what dastardly pathogen dares lay low Sinbad Shahnaz?!

“Ahh, shit. Right. Coach. I should-” 

With effort, Sinbad pulled himself up to a sit and fumbled around for his phone. 

[rex-spatium]

Ordinarily, Koumei is the frail one. He’s not a caretaker- While he knows what he’s doing from being on the receiving end, he has never experienced anything in his life to prepare himself for the sheer amount of dread and worry that pools in his guts. Nothing ever will. If this is what Sin feels like whenever his health problems flare up... Koumei shudders at the thought.

But he is not the bedridden one currently. His boyfriend is. He will not allow Sin to suffer alone in his dorm.

He’s not surprised Sin lacks a thermometer. He’d been hoping his boyfriend had picked one up, if only for checking in on Koumei’s own health, but that clearly is not the case. Pressing thin hands once more to Sin’s face, he sighs. “I’ll grab one later when I go to pick up my homework. You probably don’t have any cold medicine, but do you have tylenol or something? I’m worried about your fever...”

And, as if solely to prove how sick he actually is, Sinbad attempts to force himself into a sitting position. Koumei gently nudges him back down and runs a hand over his damp bangs. “Shhh... let me call him? He’s only met me a couple times but everyone knows I never lie about medical problems.”

[rex-spatium]

Semi-Hiatus....??

I’m.... going to be putting this blog on semi-hiatus until the end of the month so I can focus more on school, and after that I might drop a bunch of older threads and focus on stuff that’s more interesting/forming new interactions??? 

Also update: after a year of looking around I finally found a new name I feel fits me and I’m very happy and excited about that!!

[rex-spatium]

Answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog. REPOST. don’t reblog.

WHAT’S YOUR OTP FOR YOUR MUSE?: SinMei, hands down- Though I also ship him with Chu’un, Judar, and Alibaba.

WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO RP WHEN IT COMES TO SHIPPING?: Anything that has chemistry- I also have very few triggers/squicks so rping some not so nice or healthy relationships can also be fun...

HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE?: ...If they’re both legal adults 99% of the time it’s fine- Situations where the person initiating the contact knew the recipient as a child though can sometimes get a bit uncomfortable.

ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING?: Yes and no. It needs to have chemistry and make sense, and I’m hesitant to throw Mei into ships in his canon verse given how apathetic he is to people most of the time, but I’m a filthy multi-shipper and genuinely enjoy writing romance so- Cries over my 5000 aus...

HOW FAR DO STEAMY MOMENTS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY’RE CONSIDERED NSFW?: When physical contact meets dirty talk, generally.

WHO ARE OTHER MUSES YOU SHIP YOUR MUSE WITH?: Oof. RIGHT NOW MY MAIN SHIP IS WITH @tafarad BUT I ALSO HAVE SHIPS WITH @streetcrowned AND @staroppa !!!!

DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU?: Yup. I’m picky and like to plan.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU LIKE TO SHIP?: Whenever it makes sense- 

ARE YOU SHIP OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE-OR-LESS?: I-

Ship obsessed, unfortunately. Drowning in rarepair hell as per usual.

ARE YOU MULTISHIP?: Mhmm~

WHAT IS ( ARE ) YOUR FAVORITE SHIP(S) IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM?:

SinMei, SinJu, and JuHaku are my main ones, but I have too fucking many. Basically if its not incest or pedophilia I probably ship it oof...

FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU?: Just message me and spam me with headcanons and art and 90% the time that works-

“Fine fine, I’ll see a doctor,” Sinbad mumbled, scowling a bit at the prospect of getting his bill covered by Koumei yet again. Despite his very vehement protests against it, his boyfriend never let him pay for his own medical bills when it came to seeing doctors affiliated with his family. 

He leaned into Koumei’s cool touch, closing his eyes against the rather obnoxious fluorescent lighting in his room. 

“….you being here is making the headache go away already,” Sinbad admitted, placing an overly warm hand over Mei’s. “Please don’t make me go to the doctor today?” 

[rex-spatium]

He shakes his head at the request. While seeing a professional as quickly as possible would help, he isn’t certain he wants to put Sin through the strain of traveling into the city when he’s so obviously fatigued. It may do more harm than good... Koumei has always been proactive, but he’s also pragmatic; he won’t risk dragging Sin out of bed.

Yet, there are other ways for him to receive adequate care, especially when Koumei’s family is involved. He gives a small laugh in an effort to ease the mood before replying, “I’d take all your pain away if I could. You know that.” He pauses, eyes roaming. “I won’t make you leave your bed..” Though, depending on how high a fever he’s actually running, Koumei might call his personal physician. Both the doctor and Sin can berate him for it later.

In the meantime...

“Sin, do you have a thermometer somewhere?” Worry gnaws on the edge of his voice. “And furthermore, did you at least remember to call your coach? If not I will, don’t stress on it...”

[tafarad-blog]

“Thanks, Mei. You’re the best. I would hug you, but I don’t want to get you sick too,” Sin managed cheerfully despite the state he was in. He swallowed, frowning; his throat was sore too and felt inflamed. Maybe it was strep?

Now that the facade was all but useless, the young man gave up all pretenses and flopped back into his bed. Even holding up his head felt heavier than lifting a sack of rocks right now, nevermind the pounding headache.

“I really don’t want to deal with the health center though…no matter what you go in with they usually end up diagnosing you with gonorrhea or something,” Sinbad said, making a face.

[rex-spatium]

Koumei frowns. He’s... Not entirely used to seeing Sin so weak. Ordinarily he’s the frail one, constantly dragging his boyfriend down. For once, he’s able to return the sentiment, though he hates that it must be under these circumstances. He doesn’t like anyone feeling sick. 

He hums thoughtfully, watching Sin with clear intent to gauge his symptoms and the severity of his illness. He... Doesn’t seem to be doing well, but he doesn’t seem to require immediate medical attention. Though... Koumei doesn’t want to take any risks, given how often what appears to be a simple cold can escalate.

He nods, and brushes a hand through Sin’s sweat soaked bangs, wincing at the heat. “No health center, fine. You’re seeing a doctor though, and don’t you dare fight me on that- You know how important an early diagnosis can be.”  

[tafarad-blog]

“I…ugh, but they need me,” Sinbad complained, steadying himself on his table. Nevermind the fact that he was hardly standing; his fever must have been worse than he thought. 

He slapped a hand to his face, frowning. 

“I’ll only stay in bed if you stay and take care of me.”

[rex-spatium]

“Sin- They need you healthy, which, in case you haven’t noticed-” Though he can’t fathom the possibility, given how exhausted the athlete is despite having been sitting just moments prior. “-You’re not. There’s been a lot of illness going around lately... I’d hate for you to get any worse by forcing yourself to play right now.”

He pauses, cocking his head at the request. “...Given you’ve proven your inability to maintain adequate self care, I- Yes. I will stay when I can. I have classes, but I will bring my homework here to keep an eye on you, if you so desire.”

[rex-spatium]

streetcrowned:

          “the responsibilities can be a pain but… at least you got a roof over             your head, steady walls, food, clean water and you have free             access to medicine—”

“I’d rather know love and further suffering than an idle and loveless life being handed things I’ve not worked for.”

[rex-spatium]

staroppa:

                            “ Guilty as charged, but I’ll be fine. Tomorrow is                                my day off,  so  I’ll be able to rest a bit longer                                 in bed. ”

                   He shrugged his shoulders gently before running his fingers         through  his  hair  slowly.  The  actor  knew better than to push the          topic. It was obvious that he didn’t want to talk about it. 

“Hmmm.” Koumei glances over his form with mild concern. “You should eat more. Have you had dinner yet?” He cocks his head to the side. “Let me come home with you, I’ll cook something.” One thing he’d learned from an early age was how to properly cook and prepare meals. With all his younger siblings and little parental supervision, he’d never trusted the staff to provide an adequate diet- not when they so easily caved to the unhealthy demands of children. He misses cooking, and it’s an excuse to go to bed with his boyfriend.

[rex-spatium]

staroppa:

                     The actor didn’t like the sound of that, especially since it              was dismissing the topic so quickly.   But–, it wasn’t his place              to ask for more information.   Though it didn’t change that fact             that he was concerned. 

                                  “ Alright… How are you feeling now? ”

“Tired.” Koumei’s answer is blunt and confident. He does not wish to linger much on his health. And... He’s not lying. He’s tired of people constantly treating him like a glass canon. “Ahh. I’ll be fine. Probably. How are you doing? You’ve been working a lot lately, I hope you’ve been remembering proper self care.”

[rex-spatium]

“It’s so quiet right now...” He’s definitely not feeling lonely. Nope.

[streetcrowned-a]

              “girls dreaming  of a prince charming  do not realize  what a pain                royal men are ! besides, who would be affected by stuff like that?”

[rex-spatium]

“Or what a pain being a royal is.”

forazaiqa:

“With a personality that dry, I can kinda see why!” Though Sharrkan means nothing by this ( as it’s a harmless tease, at best ), there’s a bit of truth within every joke — and Koumei’s killjoy tendencies appeared to be no joke. Granted that he doesn’t know much of the Kou elites anyway ( with the exception of their younger royals ), maybe it runs in the family?

“You seem like the kind of guy who could sleep while standing up — you gotta start movin’, man, before you get swept up by the wind.” Sparring does sound nice, however — and it’s not a bad idea. But with the way he ends his offer, it’s as if he’s practically ASKING to join the swordsman —

And as grand as he was, why wouldn’t he? Anyone with the right mind would’ve loved to see the Heliohaptian’s swordplay up close — and any time that an opportunity for an audience shows up, he’s been known to essentially never pass it up. “Show me where it is, but you’re not leaving, after that!”

Koumei ignores the obvious poke at his personality; as loath as he is to admit it, he knows how dull a person he can be. Anyway, it’s not like his health is apt to support a strong social life. He doesn’t have many reasons for interacting with those around him, much less guests. His princely status is the only one that comes to mind.

Sharkan... Isn’t wrong. He could fall asleep standing up- or rather, he could fall unconscious at any given point, should his health fail him again. But he does not say this- Merely, he draws his lips to a thin line and murmurs, “I hardly think a little exercise is going to change my life.” But.... “No matter, I’ll show you.”

Without waiting for Sharkan’s approval, Koumei spun on his heel and began walking awkwardly towards the training grounds. Inevitably, when they arrive, Koumei pauses. “Er. I will not leave if you do not wish it of me, however, I am unsure what use I will be of given-” He bites his lip, hoping the foreign man is familiar enough with him to know sparring would be ill advised.

[tafarad-blog]

To say that Sinbad had a flair for being flirtatious would be like saying that a monsoon is a bit moist; so long as somebody caught his eye, they were a possible victim. He was well aware of how others perceived him, but he also knew that his charisma and charm were more than enough to help worm out of potential awkward situations.

As it stood, he had lavished attention on no less than 5 women and 3 men during his stay in Kou for negotiations. It seemed that the second prince had caught wind of this; how amusing.

“Your Highness, were you looking for a bit of preferential treatment yourself?” he asked, voice lilting with teasing. “And I’m quite egalitarian with who I notice, so no matter one’s nation of origin, they are fair game.”

[rex-spatium]

Koumei feels himself heat up at the suggestion, though he does his best to remain unaffected. Clearing his throat, he speaks, trying to ignore the blush he feels rising on his cheeks. Maybe he brush it off as the heat? It is rather warm. “I’m afraid I’m...” He pauses, unsure of how best to phrase his words. “Not your usual type.” 

He wasn’t referring to gender, but rather aesthetic. The men and women Sinbad usually entertained were all elegant a beautiful- Koumei, on the other hand, was sickly and boring. He didn’t appeal well to women, and he sincerely doubted the high flirt of the seven seas would take interest in him  of all people. 

“That said, are you perhaps bored? I’m... Not the best company, so I’ve been told, but I’d not be doing my job as a prince if I left you undesirably unoccupied during your stay...”
