——- 𝚒𝚝’𝚜 𝚑𝚊𝚛𝚍 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝚕𝚘𝚘𝚔 𝚊𝚝 𝚑𝚎𝚛. in every circumstance, he finds himself mesmerized. don’t get too attached, he tries to remind himself. the girl will end up dead one of these days knowing his luck and once more he will be wandering these streets alone with one more reason to drink himself into the grave. if there is a god, he sent nikolai an angel and that’s why he stares.

they sit in a bombed out building. he built the fire low, just enough to give them a bit of light and a bit of warmth. not big enough to catch the attention of any zombies limping past. he watches her hands doing exactly as he taught her.

“ take care of gun and gun takes care of you. “

he tells her that often and it seems to have stuck with her now as she cleans her firearm. her fingers are small and soft whereas his are large and calloused. two entirely different circumstances but fate has brought them here.

he takes a swig from his bottle of vodka. he is nearly to the end of it. tomorrow, he will make a point to find more. “ mm… you are good now, malyshka. not much more and you will have no need for nikolai, “ he comments. he moves a bit closer, sliding up beside her to focus in on the way she is reassembling her firearm. “ good girl. just like nikolai taught you. “

ROMANTIC HEADCANONS // DIDI DESPEREAUX

Name: Didi Despereaux

Nickname:  D, Deeds, Double D, Di

Gender: Cis Female 

Romantic orientation: Biromantic technically, but her version of romance is whatever a wolf does to a deer carcass, so I don't think anyone should engage

Sexual orientation: Bisexual, leans more towards pathetic men

Preferred pet names:  Baby! Darling! Princess! Empress! Goddess! Get increasingly devout with it

Relationship status: Verse dependent! Married to Lázaro in her canon, but we multiship in this house!

Opinion on true love: Says she doesn't believe in true love and that it's a bit unrealistic and not suited to her needs or wants. Which is technically true. It WOULD be nice if someone was made just for her but the way she approaches love are heavily possessive and overall chaotic, so regardless I'm begging you, do not engage.

Opinion on love at first sight: THAT'S REAL!!! Because everyone SHOULD fall in love with her on sight—she is not gonna do that personally though, she's immune. Everyone else though? Doomed. (This is actually a lie, if you meet her and are having the most embarrassing, cringefail day of your life and you're essentially at her feet, pathetic and crying, she may fall in love with you right there the second after she belittles you)

How ‘romantic’ are they?: Much more sensual than romantic. Even when in a committed relationship, she's not always thinking about them first. Sometimes it does come out and she's able to be sweet and caring and romantic but that's...rare! Didi is always at the top of her own hierarchy of importance with her partner as a very close second.

Ideal physical traits: Taller than her, grabbable hair length, sharp teeth or maybe just an affinity for biting, nice hands—sucker for a mean redhead though, that is the one trait above all this

Ideal personality traits: Passive, a little dumb, nervous in her presence, funny, more level headed than her, willing to follow her lead, not complicated

Unattractive physical traits: BALD. She can't do it.

Unattractive personality traits: Smart but way too cocky or condescending about it, liars, guys who think yelling at her will stop her from acting crazy, she'll run you over with her Vespa

Do they have a type?: Pathetic men. I've been writing her for almost fourteen years and that is consistently her catnip. Doesn't mean they're not big or strong or cool, but if they crumble emotionally, or are too sweet to talk back, she is ALL OVER that. Give her a man she can belittle playfully and she will use him like a chewtoy.

Average relationship length: Depends? Didi gets bored easily, restless for new scenery—she may come back months later, expecting to jump back into things though, which obviously isn't everyone's cup of tea but them's the breaks kid.

Past relationships?: Jerome! Terrible man! Very fun to explore though because even Didi recognizes that she's, somehow, an even worse person when she was with Jerome and that's saying something.

Favourite canon ship: Lázaro! Perfect man, willing to be his wife's chew toy B)

Favourite non-canon ship: she's got a lot of really great ships, ngl, but gotta say the award goes to @bruisedconscience Teddy...man let her kick his ass and now she wants to marry him, idk how the mad man did it but damn it slaps,,,

TAGGED BY: @hunt-the-hare // bless u, thank u TAGGING: @doyl1st, @bruisedconscience, @escapedartgeek, @idontkillorphans, @smokefools, and anyone else who wants to do this!!!

❝  holly's  great.  she's  brilliant.  but,  er  —  I’m  not—  I’m  not  doing  the  smash‑or‑pass  thing.  that’s  middle‑school  nonsense.  I’m  just  saying  she’s…  great.  ❝

he  likes  her,  definitely  …  but  it's  far  to  early  to  tell.

I take it you've never been in love?

FROM  THE  VERY  PERIPHERAL  she  views  @hunt-the-hare  in  an  instant,  pupils  narrowing  and  fixed,  framed  only  by  thin  stands  of  dark  hair.  it  wasn't  a  glare  of  hot  anger,  but  of  a  silent  re-calibration–  as  if  she  were EMBARRASSED  to  witness  what  she  saw.  a  couple  being  too  sweet  on  each  other;  showing  too much affection  near  the  market, with  not  a  care  in  the  world  who  had seen  them.  as  if  that  in  itself  wasn't  dangerous. wasn't prey to those who would take advantage.  ❝  Такая  пустая  трата  времени.❞   such  a  waste  of  time.  she  shook  her  head  and  whispered  shrewdly.  but  it  was  still  LOUD  enough  for  howard  to  hear  it.

❝.  .  .  нет.  there  is  no  reason.  you  must  think  only  of  survival.  the  one  thing  that  matters.   ❞   there's  a  suitable  PAUSE  while  she  adjusts  the  frail  strap  of  her  pack  hanging  over  her  shoulder,  finally  turning  to  fully  perceive  him  with  an  expression  rivaling  DISGUST.  ❝  .  .  .  do  not  tell  me  you  have.  ❞

"Mmmph... Five more minutes." From noah for Dara

MAYBE JUST STAY FOREVER // STILL ACCEPTING!

Light's already filtering through blinds, scent of strong coffee wafting over from the coffee maker that had the audacity to work as intended and brew at such an early hour. Usually it acted as a wake up call, tickling his nose and sending him groggily slumping out of bed in an attempt to wake up. Right now, he wants to toss the whole thing out the window—he's tangled up with Noah, blinking slowly as he admires every freckle and spot on the other's skin. There's so much of him to map, broad shoulders alone giving Dara a whole canvas to trace.

His blissful moment was interrupted by the muscles in that broad back tightening, Noah scrunching up in a pitiful attempt to escape the creeping sunlight and smells of the morning.

...Five more minutes.

Adorable! Dara's suddenly more awake, eyes flashing at he regards Noah, head tilting as far as an owls just to get a good look at the other. "Okay." Said softer than he'd usually allow himself, the early hour leaving him terribly domestic. A kiss is pressed lovingly to his shoulder, the warmth against his lips is making him hungry again—he'll forgo getting handsy, just this once, to let him sleep. "Go back to sleep." Dream of me a little longer.

"You're not very tall, are you?" from noah for dara,,,, he is tall,,,, noah is just taller

HEIGHT AIN'T EVERYTHING, SPARKY // NOT ACCEPTING

Dara twists in the bar stool to face Noah directly. He's one beer in but even if he'd been entirely dry he'd still make that overly stunned expression, offense clear as day and perhaps not entirely mocking.

"Oh, well, pardon moi—I was a bit tardy the day they were handing out extra inches to the masses." Barkeep snorts. "And yooooou stay out of this, Reg. You're no better—tellin' that poor lass you were six foot; you're barely scraping five ten. The girl's dim but not feckin' blind."

Pointed finger goes back and forth between bartender and Noah, an idle threat hovering somewhere between them all. "The both of yous," Sips his drink. "Lucky I'm so agreeable."

june leans forward against the table , enjoying the thick moment of silence between them. she cocks her head to the side. an accusatory finger comes down to point at the closed manila folder on the table between them. her eyes are steely and she pins noah with them , ❝ now see , noah. i just don't believe that. ❞ an amused smile tugs on her expression for just a moment before she straightens herself , ❝ what i think , is that you're going to flip on the club. or they're going to find out what happened in hope county. you think they'll keep you around after that ? ❞ / @hunt-the-hare
