rules under cut.
i. my name is tori. i'm 30, from the uk. i work full time + have other blogs besides this one so please be patient with me when it comes to replies.
ii. i will endeavour to tag triggers and spicy content [#nsft] but if i do miss anything, feel free to politely let me know. this is an 18+ blog, there will be 18+ content on it. anonymous will also be switched off if anyone decides to use it to be rude.
iii. i am a mutuals only blog. if i follow you, it is because i want to write with you. i typically don't do mains / exclusives.
iv. memes are the best way to break the ice and interact. i put all ic asks in text posts so you can easily reblog them and continue them as threads if you wish. if you wish to plot, feel free to dive into my dms or even to ask for my discord. just note that i do not rp over discord, only chat and plot ooc.
v. i am open to pre-establishing things so our first interactions are not always introductions, which get boring fast. i do also enjoy shipping and writing spicy content - those types of memes are open to everyone also and can be its own contained non-canon thing if you wish. actual established ships need discussion, however.
vi. i do try to interact with all my followers be it through engaging with headcanon posts, sending memes, etc. however, if i notice that the interaction is one-way and i'm the only one sending things etc, then i'll eventually just stop. rp is a two-way street, please don't rely on me to constantly initiate interactions. if i send things and notice that nothing gets replied to, again, i will stop sending things for a while.
if i decide that it's just not working and i'm not vibing with your content, it's not a slight on you. it's just not meant to be. i tend to softblock and would prefer to be softblocked in return but do whatever you need to.
@artifexx asked: ❛For the first time in my life, I do not know what to do.❜ - Soren
"That is surprising." Marcella answered with a small smile, her tone more light-hearted, which she saw as a necessity to perhaps a deeper conversation. "We've all had thoughts like that before. I know I have. Not... entirely sure how I got out of it, though. A bit of time and self-reflection can help but... that's not exactly the most helpful advice." Soren being uncertain about anything was a strange thing to witness for Marcella. He had always come across to her as more sure of himself.
@etherealdreamt asked: [ beg ] sender makes receiver say exactly what they want before giving in // From Halsin ;)
Marcella threw her head back into her pillow, eyes screwed shut as pleasure built inside her. Halsin knew exactly how to get her to unravel and often would be generous in doing so. She had not thought him the sort to tease her too much but she supposed even the bear had his playful moments.
Hands spread across her thighs holding them apart, Halsin's grip on her kept her in place, unable to wiggle free of his hold, away from the building sensitivity and pleasure he was providing her with. Her fingers clutched at her bedroll as he feasted upon her, tasting every drop of her arousal she had to give and tongue diving deep into her core, lips coated in her slick and pressed between her legs.
She could feel her climax approaching after Halsin had edged her along this way for some time. Her moans had gotten louder, more desperate, her body writhing as she tried to reach that climax faster whilst the pleasure was beginning to become too much. Yet, that was exactly when Halsin's motions slowed and he lifted his head, fingers reaching to continue slowly touching her to keep her from losing sight of that climax altogether.
He wanted her to beg, to put to words exactly what she wanted, however vulgar it might be.
Immediately her cheeks flushed and her breath caught in her throat, a protesting whine leaving her lips afterwards. She would not consider herself shy by any means but in the heat of the moment? Words initially failed her.
Her hand reached for Halsin's hair, tangled in it and trying to pull him firmly closer.
"Please, Halsin..." Marcella begged, fingers flexing in his hair, hips pushing forwards hoping to get him to continue. "I need to finish... Need..." Marcella swallowed, "Need your mouth on me... and your fingers inside me..."
@fiendishfinesse asked: [ balcony ] sender and receiver sneak out to the balcony for a stolen kiss
She knew his touch before she had even turned to see him, his hand warm and tight around her wrist as Raphael led her away from the main room where others gathered. The evening was a nice change-- drinks and talk and dancing, the noble life Marcella had never been very accustomed to as she had chosen dedication to her god instead. Her drink remained in her free hand as he led her off to a nearby balcony, much quieter and more private, perfect for a breather. The door was closed behind them but even then, Raphael's hold on her wrist did not lighten.
Marcella took one last sip of her drink before setting the half-empty glass atop the balcony's stone barrier, smiling up at the devil afterwards. Having shared a dance or two with the devil that evening, to be led away like this was a bit of a surprise. Part of her wondered if she had done something wrong and was about to be reprimanded. Instead... something unexpected; a tug of her wrist to bring her closer, face lowering to hers, teasing, taking his time, a whispered word or two, before lips meet hers. The kiss was only a quick taste, a hint of something more to come, over too fast and leaving Marcella pouting, disappointed he had teased her so. She was not about to let this little moment slip away and so her free hand reached to hold his jaw as she tiptoed in order to reach his lips with a kiss of her own. Her kiss was sweeter, fuller, pressed eagerly where his had been a tease. He would have wanted the upper hand, to draw her in under his spell, and he succeeded in that.
@artifexx asked: [ jealous ] sender kisses receiver hard after seeing someone else flirt with them + [ silent ] without a word, sender pulls receiver in and kisses them slowly + [ dizzy ] sender kisses receiver until they’re both breathless and laughing ~ Soren (a complex man gives a complex kiss lol)
Unwanted attention is unfortunately nothing new to Marcella. Often, it's received in the infirmary treating one's wounds, pain blurring one's senses, and easily dismissed. In public, however? Less common, but dismissed by Marcella quickly. She paid it no mind, finishing off her drink before standing and leaving the bar area to head to her room upstairs. Soren, however, clearly did pay the interaction some mind, as he watched it all unfold.
Marcella knew he got up and followed. She could hear him only a few steps behind her, thinking little of it. Surely he was only joining her in retiring for the night, nothing more. A hand took her wrist, however, catching up to her and causing her to turn to face him. Lips parted to ask him what was wrong, only to be met in answer with his lips upon hers, stealing the words. His other hand cupped her cheek to still her, to kiss her harder, backing her into the nearby wall. It takes several moments before Marcella can collect her thoughts and return his kiss, in time for him to break contact only to meet her lips again, and again, stealing each thought and breath until Marcella was left clinging onto him. Only when they part once more does Marcella piece it together, that this was... jealousy? Reassurance? Something in between.
Exhaling, Marcella managed a smile before taking his wrist in her hand and leading Soren to her room. All of this kissing was better done in private, after all, if they were to continue.
@etherealdreamt asked: "Your absence has already been noted." ~from Halsin
"I highly doubt that." The healer could slip away and not be missed, she thought. As important as her role might be, she was not the star of the show so to speak. Her presence at such social events was not so important, in her mind. "Surely your absence would be more notable." Marcella smiled, stepping a little closer, having to look up to keep her gaze on his face. Damned tall druid. "Maybe you're the only one who 'noted my absence'. Hm?"
@khaeryx asked: ❝ you are an honorable man person with a good heart. it’s a rare thing. ❞
She was not about to disagree but such a compliment still rested strangely upon her. Marcella simply did not know how to feel about praise, often feeling it undeserved or if it was, hard to accept all the same.
"I know but... well, what good has it done me? It's not easy." More often than not, honour put her between a rock and a hard place, sometimes pushing her deeper into trouble than helping her out of it.
@estarion asked: ❝ you cannot believe such gossip . ❞
"Well, no..." Marcella smiled, despite the content of such 'gossip'. Very little of what she had heard of Astarion was positive. Actually, none of it was, now she thought of it; a corrupt magistrate, a vampire spawn luring prey to his vampire master, not even thinking of the suffering he himself endured. She should not have even spent any time near Astarion given his undead status-- her deity hardly appreciated such. Yet here she was, actually, strangely, enjoying being near him.
"Perhaps there is some truth to it... but it's not going to so easily push me away from you."
@etherealdreamt asked: "I can't tell if you're flirting or threatening me. i'll take either one." (From Halsin)
Marcella did not consider herself easily flustered. After all, people said all sorts of things whilst injured and receiving treatment and so it had hardened her to many things. Yet Halsin's response had been unexpected and was met with a brief, flustered laugh, a hand raised to her mouth to conceal it.
"Perhaps a bit of both. Perhaps more so... the former... bad as it was. I don't think myself too great at flirting but well..." A short exhale of breath, Marcella calmed her gathering nerves, uncharacteristic as they were. "I suppose at least now you're aware of my... interest. I guess you're rather used to it-- others being interested in you."
@artifexx asked: if he lays a finger on you, i'll break it off. that's a promise. - Soren (BG3 crossover verse)
"It's not so much his fingers that I'm concerned about..." Marcella shook her head, a soft smile upon her lips as she reached out to pat Soren's shoulder reassuringly. Recent revelations regarding one of their companions had put everyone on edge, especially so Marcella considering her deity's stance on the undead. "I appreciate the offer but... I should be alright. I could always smite him if he comes too close with fangs bared."
"She must have been truly remarkable and exceedingly beautiful. […] However, Giulia is not like Vannozza, a humble lover. She does not dwell in the shadows like her predecessor. She hails from a different background, a different upbringing. She is connected to the noblest and most influential families in the city. Therefore, she aspires to play a significant role in papal Rome. And she succeeds. She is the most admired and respected woman; she proudly displays her love, showcasing it publicly during ceremonies, receptions, and even at church. And she will flaunt it even more prominently within the very walls of the apostolic palace when Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia ascends to the papal throne. At that time, she will achieve great triumphs at the court of Alexander VI and will gleefully laugh when the satirical verses of the common people and irreverent ambassadors dub her 'the bride of Christ.'" — Gustavo Sacerdote, Cesare Borgia: His Life, His Family (1950)
@artifexx asked: [clutch.] sender clutches receiver's jaw to hold their head still.+ [hollow.] sender presses a thumb into the hollow of receiver's throat. (same time and hand) - Soren, BG3 crossover
Soren was everything to her. All around her, eyes on hers, his hands on her, leaning over her, his scent-- everything was him. She could not pull away even if she had wanted to, his hand clutching her jaw to keep her in place, to keep her gaze locked upon his. His thumb pressing firmly into the hollow of her throat presented an element of danger-- though she knew he would never actually hurt her. Still, the threat of it excited her, all the more so with him above her like this.
One of her hands curled around his wrist, her fingers lightly tracing up and down over his skin in a soothing manner, whilst her other hand reached to touch his cheek, to try and draw him in closer.
"Kiss me?" Marcella breathed, voice soft and barely above a whisper, but it felt like the right thing to ask.
@devilishope asked: ❛ what a perfect pout you have. ❜
She had not thought she was pouting. It made sense, though. Raphael's incessant teasing was enough to make anyone pout-- in frustration, usually, closely followed by disappointment. One hand firmly held her jaw, fingertips digging slightly into her cheeks to make her pout more, exaggeratedly, whilst keeping her gaze firmly upon him above her.
"I was not pouting." Marcella insisted, brow furrowing, as she tried to pull her face out of his grip to no avail. She could bite him, she thought, if she could just get a bit of movement. Her hand grasped his wrist tightly, trying to shift him but with no luck, deciding instead to dig her fingernails into his skin, as if that would dissuade him. What in the hells did she do to earn Raphael's attention? "What's with the fascination of my mouth, anyway? Thinking of kissing it?"
writing your fave having sex with with their love interest is OUT writing your fave shamefully jerking off and coming pathetically fast at just the idea of fucking their love interest is IN
@artifexx asked: you'd better step away before i do something i regret. - Baby Hawke :3
Her extended hand, reached out to touch his arm, to reassure him, faltered then at his words. She did not want to push too far. Exhaling a sigh, Marcella nodded and took a step back, retracting her hand and clasping them together. Maybe she had read too much into it, whatever it was between them.
"Right." Her throat was dry, voice cracking, and so she paused to swallow and collect herself. "Well, then I best leave you to your thoughts then. I wouldn't want to intrude..."
