“Are you certain that is not just an excuse to keep from trimming your bangs? Stars are only beautiful if they can be seen after all.”

“I let you see them. Is that not enough?”

#oh dear lord #i still remember the sour cream and onion milkshake we're not doing that again #let simon pick the flavors tho then nahyuta can get like #kinako milkshakes and azuki bean milkshakes and those sound tasty #karmicbutterfly

“As well as you can, anyway, from behind the curtain of hair in your eyes at any moment.”

“You’re the one who said my eyes were like stars. Can’t go dazzling the citizenry by displaying them to all and sundry.”

He doesn’t roast he merely states fact.

“Well, of course you don’t roast.”

“I’ve seen you try to cook.”

#love u baby <3

am I glad that the fandom seems to have wised up to the fact that Blackmadhi is a Top Tier OTP?

you’re goddamn right i am

#where WERE ALL YOU PEOPLE a few years ago #when dani and i were rping this ship and bemoaning how no one appreciated it #blackmadhi #that's right i'm puttin this in the tag i'm CALLIN YOU OUT

karmicbutterfly‌:

“Ah, Simon.” Guilt is already creeping in. “You do not have to stay up on my account. There is little sense in both of us losing sleep.”

“Though of course, I would never have any objection to your company, I would rather you take the rest you need.” Though…he’s trying not to ask what cooking projects he plans on dabbling in.

“I don’t recall saying I was staying up on your account. Merely that I wanted to do some work in the kitchen.”

He actually did not know what cooking projects he’d had in mind--it was just a believable excuse to keep him out here with Nahyuta that would allow for some plausible deniability. But there were plenty of things he could work on... and with the added benefit that anything Simon did in the kitchen tended to lure the monk over eventually.

“Suppose I might make some gyoza to freeze,” he mused idly, stepping over to the refrigerator to survey the ingredients they had on hand. “By all means though, continue with your work. I’ll bring you a cup of tea in a moment.”

#karmicbutterfly #rp #simon gettin' sly lmao #quick distract him with food

karmicbutterfly‌:

That drags a faint almost laugh from him. “You can hardly lecture me for such sins when you are nearly if not much worse than me.”

“I would willingly rest with you, but I think - tonight - “ His gaze drifts away. He can’t quite look Simon in the eye. “Sleep may be impossible. Work will be a welcome distraction.”

He’s not foolish. He knows what today is. And he knows that whether Nahyuta joins him for bed or stays up long into the night--Simon will be there, with him.

“Right.” He turns Nahyuta to face him, before pressing one long, lingering kiss to his forehead. “I’ll put the kettle on, in that case. I trust you won’t mind if I remain out here and keep you company. I’ve had a few cooking projects on my list for a while now, and I daresay I’ve just found my second wind.”

hi! I just wanted to say how much I love your Simon/Nahyuta content. I never thought I’d ship them but after seeing your art I noticed all sorts of parallels between them, like how they both adopted a “persona” to protect their little sister but Nahyuta became a sinless monk who sees trials as sacred, while Blackquill became an unrepentant “murderer” who was like, “Fuck you, I’m going to prosecute an orca!” Thank you so much for keeping the blackmadhi fandom alive in these trying times 🙏

I really love character parallels, that’s actually one of the major draws for me… the fact that they are two sides of a very similar coin, and not only that but they intensely adopted completely opposite guises for years - so much so that it’s hard to tell who was even under that facade originally, even for the people who used to be close to them.

nahyuta is first presented as “holy” and simon is first presented as “evil”, but they’re so much more complex than that and unpacking that really fascinates me. I know I joke about them a lot but I truly am enthralled by their contrast and their dynamic, especially because they have both made extremely harrowing mistakes in the honour of self-sacrifice and for the years they were caged (figuratively/literally), they were caged alone and resigned to their fate - resigned to die (if that’s what it takes/when it came down to it) - and only now are they learning to slowly break out of that. much to think about

“Will you? I think you forget how well I’ve come to know you, Nahyuta.”

He turns his head to press his lips against the monk’s palm, his hand cold as ever. “Your body’s barometer for acknowledging tiredness has been in disrepair for some time. Lie down with me. Whatever you have to work on--” whatever thoughts are keeping you awake, “--it shall be there tomorrow.”

what non-sexual thing would make you smoke a cigarette after?

“I haven’t smoked in some time now, actually. Nearly ten years. I made a promise to someone that I would quit, you see. They were young at the time, and I doubt they remember it--but a true man treats his word as a sworn oath, no matter the circumstance.”

“I did have a habit of smoking outside the courthouse after finishing a trial, however. Switching to a cup of good matcha in my office was a fair exchange.”

#(he definitely promised athena he'd quit smoking in exchange for her wearing her headset)#Anonymous

If you're a samurai why are you white. (Oh my god anon you can't just ask people why they're white!!)

“Ha.”

“My father was English, but my mother is Japanese--born and raised in Tokyo. I spent the lion’s share of my boyhood there as well, in fact. Try again.”

I think I still have some hawk fricasee left if you're hungry.

“As it turns out, I am.”
