I didn't love you out of loneliness. I was fine in the dark. I loved you because your light made me want to step out of the shadows.

I like being alone But that is why I knew you were different Because for the first time ever I wanted someone else's company More than my own

So happy to be posing them together again!

• The violence of the divine — that's what this feels like.

She can't see the landscape anymore It's all painted in her grief All of her history etched out at her feet Now all of the landscape, it's just an empty place Acres of longing, mountains of tenderness - Florence + The Machine, "Landscape"

Thank you for the ask!

I'm soooo sorry it's taken this long! I had the image in my mind, I just kept forgetting to sit down and actually...take the shot! And I'm glad I finally dug into this because I've not really listened to F+TM, so I went digging for songs/lyrics (since the ask was inspired by them) and...emerged with a treasure trove of amazing music that really fits their dynamic! Going to fritter some of the choicest nuggets away in my inspiration hoard to use for more gposes!

💘 : Is your OC a very good flirt? Are they charming?

She's a terrible flirt. For one, she tends to be oblivious to any attempts to flirt with her and if she does notice someone showing interest, she'll give her untarnished honest opinion of them...for better or worse. If she develops an interest in someone, she'll usually just come right out and say what's on her mind. If they're a techie like her, she'll absolutely babble about her projects and grill them on what they know. Not too many people can handle her bluntness...it even made Sanji shy away initially. It wasn't until years later that they both started exploring their feelings for each other a bit more cautiously.

He tends to be rather shy and reserved, but he's also a very nice guy...kind, compassionate and caring, so oftentimes people think he's flirting when he's just...being nice. He doesn't try to be charming, it's just something that comes naturally to him and it can get rather awkward for him to dissuade people who do flirt with him because he hates hurting feelings and/or disappointing them.

To Boldly Go....

I'd honestly almost forgotten entirely about Cosmic Exploration until yesterday! Been having fun this weekend grinding out currency for all the goodies for Hyperia and filing away little tidbits of things to use in their lore.

I can definitely see this as something they'd be a part of...Sanji, for exploring places entirely new and discovering everything each planet uniquely provides, whether new flora and fauna or the artifacts found in ruins. Hyperia, of course, would be all about the tech...designing and building machines to aid in the research and development of the outposts.

Yes, this is so me with my guys. I have SO MUCH lore in my head, but when it comes to actually sharing it, I just...lock up and throw out random pics instead.

EDITED to add that I am begging on my knees for asks and prompts. They really help kick-start my ramblings. I don't know what people are interested in hearing about (if anything), so these really help me assemble things coherently.
