panic attacks are wild. u'll be laying in bed, and suddenly experience a mild cramp in your leg or smth, and your brain will be like "oh, that's a blood clot. That's a blood clot and it's gonna end up in your lungs or your heart, or your brain, and then you're gonna DIE. Don't u feel it??? It's travelling, now your toes are tingling. You're dying, you're not gonna live to see tomorrow."
except you know better than this, because you have this same panic attack almost every other night. So you're like "yah ok. it's been a good run, I don't care." but your brain is still giving you the "ur dying, feel FEAR" chemicals.
so ur just laying there like 😐 waiting for the panic to pass while your whole body is experiencing an adrenaline response, shivering and sweating.
I am here again to beg for Danse to come hold me and wipe my tears away and take care of me please…
twitter user northgalis and their thread about words used throughout the first three dragon age games vs da4 is making me feel less crazy and more insane simultaneously, especially after reading that gaider post about the language Alistair uses in game
I knew the language felt different but this big of a shift?? No wonder I'm having certain feelings about it.
my joints :(
Ey so I do still lowkey want Smudger to be the one who falls off the Old Iron Bridge™️ whether because of his own carelessness or.. someone else’s 🤷♀️
Bonus points if it’s during his rebuilt era and it’s his first major accident. He’s out of action for weeks, water and engines absolutely do not mix.
Bonus BONUS points if being at the works and needing to be mended brings back something,, he can’t quite fathom. It’s a nasty, nagging feeling at the back of his mind that he can’t shake off, it’s a dread that sticks to him and coats every inch of his internal workings with a vile gunk that refuses to shift.
And for the life of him he just can’t describe it to anyone, not even Peter Sam and that makes it so much worse.
How Kuroko and Akashi would react to their girlfriend calling them a short king 👑
AKASHI…
Would completely freeze at his desk. He’d slowly turn his thankfully monochromatic maroon gaze towards you before uttering a slightly amused/offended…
“Pardon me?”
You struggle to hold in a snicker as you reiterate your previous sentence. “I said, ‘Don’t overwork yourself My Short King. You should take a break.’”
His eyebrow twitches and you’re not entirely sure what that means. Even though Bokushi isn’t in command any longer, normal Akashi can still be rather unpredictable when he wants to be. That’s why you’re pretty dumbfounded once your normally composed and calm Akashi let’s out a loud “PFFT!” and presses a fist to his mouth to fight the growing smile on his lips.
“You’re rather remarkable darling…I’m…not quite sure how to respond to that…” to which you bat your eyelashes and reply, “Well how about by taking a break an spending some time with your darling?”
He snickers once more (wow twice in one setting, what a giggly boy he is today) and stands up from his desk to take you by the hand.
“So be it then.”
Now, Akashi Seijuro is…Akashi Seijuro. He’s not gonna let some little crack his girlfriend made about his height get to him. He will, however, make a conscious decision to straighten his back and hold his head high around you, just to make it clear who is actually the short one in this relationship.
KUROKO…
Would look at you confused but immediately see that you’re trying to tease him and just pretend he didn’t hear you.
You poke his cheek and snicker, “Oi, I know you heard me Tetsu.”~
“…”
“Come on, My Short King, answer the question. Where do you wanna go to ea-“
“Would you mind not calling me that. Please.”
He replies in his usual soft tone as he keeps his gaze focused on the novel in his hands. You bite you lip as you attempt (and fail) at holding in a snort. You can’t really tell if he’s just refusing to play along with your little game or if he’s genuinely upset that you made a crack about his height. You mull over whether you want to take it easy in him or not. You decide to end the short jokes, but concluded that one last little teasing nudge wouldn’t hurt. You throw your arms around him and kiss his temple. “Aww sorry Tetsu-kun. I didn’t mean to make my little blueberry angy~” you coo in a baby voice while nuzzling his cheek.
Kuroko bristled from underneath your arms. If there was one thing that ruffled his feathers, it was being treated like a child. He experienced more than a fair share of embarrassment at getting demeaning head pats from Murasakibara that one time at the street game. And let’s not even talk about how “Dad” picked him up like a toddler in front of his whole team. So yeah…jokes about his stature aren’t exactly his favorite things. He knows you’re just messing with him and trying to have some fun so he decided not to take it too seriously- however that doesn’t mean he’s gonna let you off the hook Scott free.
He closes his book and slowly stands from his desk and you mistakenly take it as a sign to continue on to the topic of food.
“Ah great! So where do you wanna go? I was think about this cute new cafe that ju- kya!”
And just like that the phantom sixth man has you pinned against the wall. His hands in either side of your head. He leans in, slowly to emphasize the height advantage he actually has on you, while biting back a smile at the flustered look on your face.
“Sorry, but who exactly is the short one in this relationship?” He whispers, his baby blue eyes sparkling with mischief.
“Uhh…I…”
You’re at a lost for words. Did your invisible simple vanilla, blue boy Tetsu seriously just kabedon you? And size you up? Who is this kid?
After seeing you’re dumbfounded expression, Kuroko takes it that you’ve learned your lesson. He lets out a soft snort as he gently reaches for your hand and pulls you along out the door.
“Sorry, I decided to get you back but maybe I went a little too far. Anyway, let’s go to that cute cafe you mentioned, Shorty.”
….no seriously….who IS this kid?!
