[ txt ]: OH PLS. STOP BEING GLOOMY [ txt ]: but it’s going to feel so much better once you do  [ txt ]: it’s okay to take your time. you need it more than I do rn [ txt ]: well then believe in yourself more, dumbass :p you always underestimate yourself [ txt ]: it’s only like two hours though, isn’t it? and then you get an eight hour road trip with me~ just think about that and maybe it’ll keep your mind off the actual flight [ txt ]: really? what about freya? you’ve talked to her, haven’t you?  [ txt ]: YEAH, NO SHIT SHERLOCK. a sex camel is NOT an image I ever thought I’d have floating around in my head [ txt ]: yeah exactly. then we can hang around the reception a bit and sneak off first appropriate chance. solid plan [ txt ]: also where is the broom closet??? now you’re just making us sound like a couple of horny hogwarts teens

[ txt ]: NO. 

[ txt ]: Yeah, baby steps. it already feels like it’s been a long time and I’ve only made a little progress with everything.

[ txt ]: I’ll work on that, but I got you to believe for me in the meantime. 

[ txt ]: Yeah it should be a quick flight at least. Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the drive after. Are we gonna have time to stop along the way?

[ txt ]: ALSO I have literally nothing to wear to this thing, help me plsssss.

[ txt ]: Well yeah I’ve talked to Freya. But everyone else I just cut and run on like an asshole. 

[ txt ]: OKAY FORGET THE CAMEL THING. 

[ txt ]: If there’s no broom closet...I’m not going. ;)

[ txt ]: you’re MY puppy. but I understand. Declan knows you’re a guest and I don’t think he’d go so far as extending an invitation for you to join their coven when you have a home across the sea. you would just be distancing yourself from that bond again [ txt ]: that’s the point. giving up control. we both have things we have to let go of if we’re going to move on. I’ve started to loosen up on my end– now you just have to loosen up on yours. you can do it. I know you can [ txt ]: GOOD! lol I do. but you’ve flown a few times now. maybe it’ll be better this time  [ txt ]: hahaha duly noted. I’m sure they’ll all be thrilled to see you. we’ve all missed you [ txt ]: sex-camel? that’s what you’re calling it? omg you’re ridiculous [ txt ]: but don’t worry. I intend to make up for lost time as soon as we get the chance [ txt ]: AFTER the wedding, of course. I think we both know what would happen if we got up to it beforehand  

[ txt ]: -POUT FACE-

[ txt ]: I know, he understands and I don’t think he’d do that either. staying with them has been a blessing, but I know I’m not one of them. 

[ txt ]: it’s hard, but I feel like I’ve been white-knuckling my control without the Floros line, so letting go feels good but at the same time...it’s hard. 

[ txt ]: you believe in me more than I do, but I’ll take it.

[ txt ]: but I’ve never flown without you. if I’m lucky I’ll sleep the entire flight.

[ txt ]: I can’t wait to see everyone, I’ve missed them too. you’re the only one from home I’ve been in contact with. 

[ txt ]: I mean YEAH, makes sense???? probably not the SEXIEST animal I could have picked but.

[ txt ]: okay agreed, AFTER. your dad would never forgive us if we miss it because we’re making out in a broom closet. 

[samuel-floros]

I'm a long way from the land that I left I've been running through life and cruising toward death If you think that I'm scared you've got me wrong If you don't know my name, you'll know it now I belong bodily to the earth I'm just wearing old bones from those that came first There are many more flames when mine is gone They will build me no shrines and sing me no songs I'm a long way from the one that I loved I've been tending old flames, lamenting what was Drifting in a land time forgot If you think that I've changed, you know me not I belong bodily to the earth I'm just wearing old bones from those that came first I been unraveling since my birth Gonna wander out there and see what I'm worth Find me way out there there's no road that will lead us back When you follow the strange trails they will take you who knows where If I found a way to stay with you tonight it would only make me late, for a date I can't escape Find me way out there there's no road that will lead us back When you follow the strange trails they will take you who knows where If I found a way to stay with you tonight it would only make me late, for a date I can't escape

[ txt ]: ♡ ♡ ♡ [ txt ]: of course I want you to come home– but you can’t. not until you’re sure you’re back to yourself and Declan agrees to it  [ txt ]: the last thing I want is for you to come home and start slipping again [ txt ]: besides, Dad’s wedding is in what? a week or two? you’re still coming, right? we’ll see each other then and you can get as many hugs from me as you wish  [ txt ]: I do have good instincts. so we’ll catch up together. but you know I don’t mind being at your mercy every now and then ;)

[ txt ]: I know...part of me thinks I’m not gonna know if I’m ready until I try it. Declan’s been great, but I’m still just a guest here. I’m not a full coven member, I’m like their lost puppy. 

[ txt ]: it’s all different here. the ley lines are different, it all feels ancient and powerful and I’m just this vessel for magic to flow through. I’m trying to learn to, give up control. 

[ txt ]: YES I wouldn’t miss it! I already have my flight booked. and you know I hate flying. 

[ txt ]: I’m gonna hug everyone but mostly you and probably cry all over you so just prepare yourself. 

[ txt ]: hey now, don’t start. I’ve been like a sex-camel over here. 

[samuel-floros]

danisavin‌

[ txt ]: … [ txt ]: you really are my sun and stars, you know that?  [ txt ]: you’re brilliant and amazing and I love you so much  [ txt ]: if you were here, I would be hugging the hell out of you rn [ txt ]: I trust you too, so I’m going to believe that you’re right for as long as I can and hopefully I’ll be able to get some better sleep because of it  [ txt ]: I suppose, if anything, I can hang onto the thought that I can’t wait for you to make me look like an idiot while I’m trying to master basic magic skills [ txt ]: I will be completely at your mercy on that account

[ txt ]: moon of my life.

[ txt ]: I love you too, and I miss you like crazy. I can’t wait for that hug...Do you want me to come home?

[ txt ]: you’re still gonna be you, just a more magically-inclined you. you’ll find a way. 

[ txt ]: I think you’ll catch on faster than you think, you’ve got good instincts. tbh I feel like I’ve had to learn all over again, so you might not be at my mercy.

[samuel-floros]

danisavin‌

[ txt ]: yeah he got a little excited about it after the fact- or supportive of it maybe more so [ txt ]: he painted it in a light that I had never really considered before. never let myself consider, at least [ txt ]: that it could be this amazing thing that leads to all sorts of new possibilities  [ txt ]: but you know I’ve been dreading it and how I’ve been terrified that it could be dangerous or harmful or completely change who and what I am [ txt ]: what if… it’s just that missing piece of me? I’ve spent my whole life trying to be all of these different people and I’ve collected all these talents and wanted to be sired because somewhere in there I thought that would make me feel whole but now it all seems like years of wasted time and effort [ txt ]: I mean this is who I AM. it’s who I’ve always been, right? so theoretically if I manage to break my magic out somehow, I’m finally going to feel like I have a complete, solid identity for once [ txt ]: it’s just… this magic comes from my biological family, who I don’t even know. what if I’m not the same person after? if there’s something I inherited from them that’s going to… take over?? [ txt ]: I want to be able to embrace it and to learn about my family from it, but I don’t want to lose who I am as a side effect of that 

 [ txt ]: he usually ends up being right about these things, I think that’s a good way to look at it. 

[ txt ]: I don’t think magic works like that. it’s always been a part of you, so it’s always been a part of who you are, even if it was latent.

[ txt ]: well, as far as wanted to be sired goes, you had reasons for wanting that for yourself at the time, and just because you’ve grown and changed past that want, doesn’t make it any less legitimate to have wanted it, you know? I don’t think that makes it wasted time or effort. 

[ txt ]: for the record, I’ve always thought you were complete the way you were. sired or not, magic or not. 

[ txt ]: as far as your bio family goes...I think if I’ve learned anything from all this, it’s that yes family makes us who we are, but it doesn’t chain us to who we are. if anyone can figure out a way to adapt to a huge change like this, it’s you. you’ll figure out how to control it, it’s not gonna take away who you are. you’re too stubborn for that. 

[ txt ]: I mean, I’m scared too, but I trust you.

[ txt ]: I sorta kinda finally actually came out  [ txt ]: to Iann [ txt ]: about my whole magic dilemma, I mean [ txt ]: like the words “I’m a witch” came out verbatim at some point after I admitted to having magic and I’m… [ txt ]: …idk [ txt ]: I feel worlds lighter having accepted it after denying it for ages which is a good thing but  [ txt ]: I think I’m also having an existential crisis so… fuck

[ txt ]: ohhhh. well that’s a good thing I think. 

[ txt ]: if anyone would get it I think it’d be Iann.

[ txt ]: what do you mean? you don’t feel like your same self?

[samuel-floros]

danisavin‌

[ txt ]: I wouldn’t be surprised [ txt ]: he misses you too. it’s happening. it’ll be fun!  [ txt ]: well… I was actually gonna text you but you obviously beat me to it  [ txt ]: I did something the other day and… I guess it’s a good thing but I also can’t stop thinking about it and my thoughts are all over the place now [ txt ]: which makes the fact that you’re across the pond additionally frustrating because I could really use someone to snuggle with in bed to help me think that’s not ninso  [ txt ]: I love him to death but it’s never the same

[ txt ]: yes! can’t wait to see him. 

[ txt ]: did something? what happened?

[ txt ]: I’m sorry. :( I wish I was there. 

[samuel-floros]

Called to see if your back Was still aligned and your sheets Were growing grass all on the corners of your bed But you've got too much to wear on your sleeves It has too much to do with me And secretly I want to bury in the yard The grey remains of a friendship scarred

[samuel-floros]

danisavin‌

[ txt ]: he is. it’s ridiculous [ txt ]: yes! and you can help him refine it when you come home [ txt ]: he’s the only person who might actually miss you more than I do. and he’s a dog [ txt ]: no he won’t! I talk to him about you all the time. he’s probably sick of it by now tbh [ txt ]: I’ll put him on the next time we do a video call

[ txt ]: I think he’s got more wolf in him than we know.

[ txt ]: all the plaid. 

[ txt ]: he’s allowed. I miss my foraging buddy. 

[ txt ]: ok well as long as he still knows who I am. yes!! I wanna see that face. 

[ txt ]: so what else is going on?

[samuel-floros]

danisavin‌

[ txt ]: true enough [ txt ]: yeah I mean why the hell not?  [ txt ]: he’s just bein’ a dork. like his dad.

[ txt ]: they were passing out free bandanas at the park the other day so I let him pick one  [ txt ]: not sure I’m the biggest fan of the color scheme but I respect the plaid

 [ txt ]: he’s getting so big. T___T

[ txt ]: always appreciate the plaid! my boy has great taste. 

[ txt ]: he’s gonna forget who I am. T___T

[samuel-floros]

danisavin‌

[ txt ]: you have a myriad of problems, love [ txt ]: but adjusting to European terminology is not one of them [ txt ]: I fully support this  [ txt ]: and don’t worry - obviously I adore all of your other problems aside from the genuine concerning ones. i’m not a total monster :p

[ txt ]: well YEAH but I prefer to focus on the ones that involve crisps.

[ txt ]: so you support me buying cases of hunky dorys to bring home, good to know.

[ txt ]: send me a pic of what Ninso is doing rn? 

[samuel-floros]

[ txt ]: I’ve got a problem.

[ txt ]: I’m getting addicted to these weird Irish snackfoods and I’m gonna have to like buy them in bulk.

[ txt ]: I’m calling chips ‘crisps’ now you should be proud.

Pride 2018: open mic night

Sam decided to treat the night like any other open mic, though he felt a little underdressed once he saw everyone else’s get-ups. The mixtape shirt in bi pride colors he bought specifically for the event, and he broke out a comfortable (and very tight) pair of skinnies for his set. Throwing his hair up into a bun and grabbing on his purple chucks were a given. The final touch was just a bit of lilac eye makeup that Dani put on him.

headcanon ✿ Sam’s tattoos ; updated 

i. elemental Earth sign, inner left wrist. Sam’s first tattoo, gotten when he was 20, inked by Dani. 

ii. elvish script, spine. Sam’s second tattoo, gotten at 30 years old as a tribute to his relationship with Dani. He took a Romanian phrase of love that Dani often spoke to him, and translated it into Tolkien script.

iii. wedding ring vines, left ring finger. Gotten as part of their elopement in place of traditional wedding rings. 

iv. black rose, bottom right forearm. Gotten over the winter, an aesthetic choice as he wanted something a bit bolder that could be seen on his arm and represents his love of flowers.

v. floral band, around left forearm. His newest tattoo, gotten during Pride week as a contrast to the rose tattoo (which was designed to have a bit of an edge), this time he wanted something softer. The split nature of the tattoo was another aesthetic choice, that just seemed to make sense to him in the spirit of celebrating his bisexuality at Pride.
