(Hey, so I meant to do drafts after watching fireworks with the fam, but tonight turned out to be pretty rough on my anxiety. I’m off tomorrow, so I might be able to do stuff then. Hopefully a good night’s sleep will put me right as rain?)

Assumption - he doesn’t know how handsome he is

Make Assumptions About My Muse | @illbringthechaosmagic

“……Are you under the impression that I’ve never looked in a mirror? I wear the helmet to be more intimidating, not to hide my face out of any sort of insecurity. If there’s only one thing I’m incredibly grateful to my parents for, it’s that they passed their looks down to me.”

[solo-returned]

You look strong enough to pull ears off a gundark.

Make Assumptions About My Muse | @runyou-clever-boy

“I don’t know about that, but then again, I’ve never encountered a gundark. That’s quite an opening remark, though. Would you like to find out how strong I am for yourself, or keep speculating?”

Assumption - (in the world we have xD) he thinks rock climbing is a great date idea

Make Assumptions About My Muse | @resignedworkaholics

“Is it not? I mean, I get that not everyone is outdoorsy or adventurous, but it’s not like I’d drag someone out to the Grand Canyon with me, or anything. There are indoor rock climbing walls all over the world. Most of them aren’t too high or curved. Great for beginners.”

Make a assumption about my muse and see how they react! Anything goes!

Werewolf: *transforming* You have to go, now! I don’t want you to see me like this…

Human s/o: Don’t push me away! I’m not afraid of you!!

Werewolf: No no I’m just really dumb as a wolf and I don’t want you to see me bark at a mirror for two hours

werewolf after waking up the next morning: I am going to kill you Human: is it because i threw werewolf: YES ITS BECAUSE YOU THREW THE STICK BUT REALLY JUST HID IT BEHIND YOUR BACK

[hacker-codeq]

@solo-returned continued from here

"It tends to be dangerous to be too concerned with the safety of random people." Q pointed out under his breath. That ignored the fact that Q was not a civilian either, even if his position didn't usually put him directly in the line of fire. He tended to prioritise evasion. Though there was always the emergency backup if he did really get into trouble.

"Alright. Please don't do anything brash." He said softly, shifting his weight a little as he pulled his phone out of his pocket and slipped it slightly up his sleeve so that it was easily accessible. "Or... You take the bigger one. And I'll do something about the other." Marcus offered, taking over since it wasn't as though their companion was going to notice or care. And, heck, it was fun to taser people. "That would be safer for everyone."

[solo-returned]

Oh? Judging by the shifting tone, his companion was scrappier than he’d first appeared. It was a sound strategy, though, and something about the Brit made him resist questioning if the man could handle himself. It had to be the sudden unwavering confidence.

Kinda hot, actually.

Ben nodded, focusing again on the approaching robbers. Just a little closer…

Now!

As soon as the bigger of the two was in range, Ben rose and leaped over the table to tackle him. The fight to disarm the robber was quick, though a bit harder than he’d expected, and ended in victory for the young marine. He kicked the gun away, instead opting to hold the robber’s arms behind his back and use him as a human shield. Surely the other one wouldn’t shoot his friend, right?

“Put the gun down, buddy!” he called out, attempting to diffuse the situation a little. “No one needs to get hurt here. The cops are probably already on their way, and things are only gonna get worse for you if you fire.” The situation was intense, especially with the first robber thrashing and struggling against his grip. Hopefully, his companion had enough of an opening to incapacitate the second.

" take it easy. you're safe now, but you need to relax. " || @unstablerk800

send in " take it easy. you're safe now, but you need to relax. " for the sender to greet a waking receiver after having found them badly wounded and on the brink of collapse at their doorstep. | @unstablerk800

He didn’t know where else to go.

That thought ran endlessly through the exhausted traitor’s head when he woke up to Connor’s words of solace. Over and over again. Where could he possibly go after what he’d just done? Who could he turn to? The First Order thought him a turncoat, and while he still wasn’t sure if he was or not, he had no way of communicating to them otherwise. No one loyal to the Resistance trusted him, and rightfully so. He’d caused too much devastation throughout the galaxy to expect anyone to immediately welcome him back with open arms. Even his mother was apprehensive.

That cut almost as deep as losing his father, and he refused to ruminate on it just yet. He wasn’t ready. A walk had seemed like a good idea at the time, despite his wounds and foggy mind.

The next thing he remembered was waking up at the feet of a very human-like droid. Connor, he’d been told. He’d seemed polite before, and Kylo…Ben really needed that politeness right now. “I’m fine,” he muttered, “and about as relaxed as I can be, given the circumstances.” Not even remotely true, but he wasn’t about to whine about his woes to someone he’d just met. “Mind helping me up? Everything’s still spinning just a little bit…”

[unstablerk800]

Connor smiled at the comment about mentioning injuries. He was aware what Ben was capable of; he had analyzed and stored information about his fighting style, his usage of the Force; which was why it was still surprising to see him in such a state.

He worked in silence for a while; cleaning and patching the man up, silently making a schedule for bandage changing and requesting more bacta afterwards. His LED was gently spinning in blue, only occasionally shining brighter as he worked; his hands precise and pleasant warm, as he had made sure to run the thirium in his veins a bit faster so his touch wouldn't be cold.

At Ben's question, his brows ever so slightly twitched together, and he had made eye contact with the man, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"No." His answer was quiet, but firm. Connor kept silent for a few seconds as he started to clean the wound that sliced Ben's face in two. "To label anyone a monster, you'd need to define the word first. What makes a monster a monster?" He wondered out loud, tilting his head slightly as he was dabbing the cloth with alcohol on it ever so gently against the wound, starting from the top of the injury. "Is a monster selfish? Cruel? Sadistic? You've never been any of those."

He had remembered Ben before Snoke found him. Those details were classified in his mind palace, no one could get to them but him. He'd self destruct before he gave them out to anyone. But he knew more than anyone else.

"You've been used and pushed around", he finished quietly as he also finished cleaning out the wound. Now, he put bacta on another sterile cloth, and gently dabbed the bottom of the wound, this time. "You're not making choices, they're being made for you. You're not walking on your path on your own, you're being pushed towards an end you'd never choose otherwise. You're following orders you can't go against unless you face even more pain. You're a prisoner and an instrument of fear. You never had a chance, and you never had a choice. Because of all of this… you can not be a monster."

[solo-returned]

Selfish? Cruel? Sadistic? Kylo Ren had been all of those things and more, and still was, but before he could answer, Connor continued. Every word made him angrier, rage slowly rising to a boil beneath the surface. Snoke may have been an intrusive influence on his mind, but he had made the choice to follow. To survive his uncle’s murder attempt and fight back. To join the one person who had seemed to be on his side!

And yet…

He’d never truly been in control after that, had he? Following orders like an obedient soldier, trying so hard to win Snoke’s approval. How pathetic. It burned him even more to know that Connor was right, and he scowled as the droid finished his monologue, chewing on his bottom lip a little. A habit from his youth.

“Don’t patronize me,” he grumbled, “and don’t make excuses for me, either. I could have resisted if I wanted to. Abandoned both my Jedi training and Snoke’s teachings. Instead, I made my choice.” And regretted it. “And while you may have known me before then, you have no idea what I’ve become. What I am capable of. I have done great and terrible things throughout this galaxy, Connor. It doesn’t matter whose orders I was acting on! I still chose to follow them, just as I chose to follow my father before he-” Before he’d been murdered, just as Kylo had contemplated doing but couldn’t. He grew quiet as the memory replayed in his mind, then shoved it back in the dark, twisted little mental box it belonged in.

“You’re wrong,” he added, more calm now. “I am a monster, whether I want to be or not. I made myself a monster when I became Kylo Ren. The Ben Solo you knew is long dead.” His voice had regained the same clinical, unflinching tone he’d taken to carrying while wearing the mask, as if he was suddenly above the conversation. Like he’d been above everyone in the First Order. Expertly hiding every conflict in his mind from those who couldn’t read it. Pretending that his mask hadn’t just cracked slipped for a moment. His head had cleared now that his wounds had been tended to, but his drive to complete his mission was still just as shaky. Was he still as loyal to Snoke and the First Order now that he was away from them?

“I’m…what?” Where had that come from? They’d gone from enemies to unwilling allies at best, as far as he knew, and had tenuously been working together since Starkiller Base. How long ago had that been? Weeks? Months? A year? It hardly mattered. He’d been trying in vain to get her to trust him, and only now, when he’d just about given up, had the switch finally flipped. He was fully ready to walk away. Take some time to think of a new plan. And she pulled this on him?

“I don’t follow,” he answered, electing to play into his utter confusion. “What do you mean, I’m your ‘home’, Rey?” Could she be referring to their Force bond, or had she taken his bait in a far different way than he intended? Why was the thought of that so satisfying?

please don’t be afraid. you’re with a doctor.

you need a little sleep is all.

you keep it. hell, you’ve earned it.

i’m sore, but nothing’s broken.

just hold on. apart from your head, does the rest of you feel okay?

i’ll call back in fifteen minutes.

don’t scare off something before it’s close enough for you to see it.

in case you haven’t noticed, there’s a difference between a dog attack and homicide.

i fixed it up myself.

people tell me you’ve been looking for me.

i asked myself that several times.

how about a rifle up your nose, friend?

there won’t be anything you want here or can trust here.

i’ve seen enough hate. some of it i felt against myself.

Lil’ Tip

I see two common formulas when a character is severely hurt

injured >> panic >> faint

or

injured >> hide it >> faint

While these two formulas are great, I am here to propose other things people do when they are in severe physical pain. pain to this degree throws a persons entire body out of wack, show it!

here are some other less commonly found things people do when they’re in severe pain:

firstly, repeat it after me, kids! not everyone faints when they’re in a ton of pain! some people wish they could faint

but they do tremble, convulse, or thrash uncontrollably (keep in mind, trembling and convulsing are something the body does of it’s own accord, thrashing is an action taken by the person)

hyper/hypoventilate

become nauseous

vomit (in severe cases)

hallucinate

lose sight (temporarily)

lose hearing (temporarily)

run a low-grade fever

run a high-grade fever (in severe cases)

become unaware of surroundings

develop a nosebleed

develop a migraine

sweat absolute bullets
