prompt 135!

“Enough with the pillow talk, I’m tired.”

“But that’s my favorite part.“ Matthew pouted as he looked over at Ryder, his hand searched for his. 

“I’m tired, Matthew,“ he grumbled back, hand opened for him despite his words. He loosely laced his fingers with Matthew’s as his eyes closed, and for a moment he believed that he might’ve gone to sleep. 

He should’ve known better, though.

“I just really love you,“ Matthew mumbled, and he couldn’t stop from smiling to himself when he heard Ryder sigh. He knew just how to get to him.

Ryder turned to face Matthew, and he leaned in to lazily kiss his lips. “I love you too,” he whispered into the kiss, his hand moving to run through Matthew’s long hair. “More than anything.”

“I know,“ Matthew teased cheekily. He yelped when Ryder pulled his hair, but it was so worth it.

“Let me sleep. Got souls to collect in the morning.“

“Mmm, keep talking dirty to me, my little reaper.“

Ryder laughed, and that made everything better. “Shut the fuck up.”

“Make me.“

🖊 tell me more about aster. in your post about grace last night you piqued my interest

My angsty punk boi! Aster Maddox is a bit of a bleeding heart musician jaded by what the music industry has become. He’s tired of the rock and roll life but sticks around to support his sister and bandmate, Grace. His stage persona tends to be very angry and violent. He’s extremely standoff-ish but on rare occasions, he opens up to people he trusts most, and they actually find he’s a gentle, caring soul. He’s become even more reclusive after a traumatizing incident with Grace onstage left him legally dead for a few minutes. Cherry Red, the lead singer of Brushfire, looked out for the Maddox siblings through the whole ordeal, to the point where Aster considers her their mother figure. She’s one of the few people he opens up to and he credits her for his desire to pay it forward to new musicians in the business. His discovery of Finola Begby and Heaven’s Tiny Daggers pulls him out of his cynicism and reminds him what it’s like to be new to the music business and why he loves performing in the first place. 

Where he comes from also is a contentious issue within his family, as his father has kept a certain layer of secrecy as to what he truly is. All his life, he’s believed he, like his sister, has been implanted with demonic souls for a sick experiment, but it might be something else entirely…

Send me a 🖊  and I’ll gush about an OC!

it’s *technically* food related but my main character is a halfling meaning she’s half human and half vampire. she eats human food but she also needs to supplement her diet with blood

That’s so cool wth. Your WIP sounds fantastic (I just went and checked out your WIP page 💖) and I love the versatility of needing blood as a supplement, but not strictly the basis of her diet. 

I don’t have anything related to throw back off the top of my head so here’s my family recipe for pork sinigang, a sour Filipino soup, which is what I’ve been cooking today and a staple recipe in Ocean: 

1.5-2 lb pork loin, cubed

2.5-3 oz tamarind soup powder (two - three packets depending on personal taste)

8 oz green beans (canned preferred)

1 bokchoy, large, chopped, leaves separated from stems

1 napa cabbage, medium, chopped

1 lemon (garnish)

optional: 2 cups shrimp

optional: 4-5 jalapenos (this makes it “americanized” but is entirely worth it)

Bring pork to a boil with half of the tamarind powder and 6-8 cups of water (follow tamarind packets for the specific amount of water); boil until pork is cooked; add the rest of the tamarind powder; add bokchoy stems, green beans, and jalapenos – let simmer for one hour; add bokchoy leaves and napa cabbage, let simmer for forty minutes or until leaves are cooked; add shrimp ~20-30 minutes before serving; garnish with fresh lemon juice and serve over a bed of jasmine rice. 

Send me an ask for a food-themed fact swap!

saturn, sirius, halley’s comet

saturn: favorite song?

How about 5 since I can’t possibly narrow it down to just one?

Creep - Radiohead

Africa - Toto

Zombie - The Cranberries

Night Of The Hunter - Thirty Seconds To Mars

Another One Bites The Dust - Queen

These are just off the top of my head, but If anyone asks me this prompt again I’ll give you more genre specific favs!

sirius: favorite fictional character?

A recent fav is Neil Josten from the All For The Game trilogy. I love that he’s simultaneously both super observant and super oblivious, and the scenes where he just verbally rips into Riko are my fav. 

halley’s comet: what’s your opinion on fate?

Ahh yes, the very question that keeps me up at night. 

One the one hand, I do believe we all have our own personal destiny’s we’re meant to fulfill, and everything that happens to us pushes us closer to becoming who we’re meant to be. This is all wonderful and romantic, but then there’s the question of free will, and whether we have that. I want to believe that we do. The idea that our lives have already been laid out, and that we’re all just following a predetermined course, just doesn’t sit well with me. I don’t want to feel like my actions are controlled by some higher power, and that I have no say in my future. But when nice things happen, like falling in love for example, I like to believe that it’s more than just coincidence. I’m also a sap that believes in soulmates, silly as that is.

Idk. Fate’s nice in a romantic sense, but I also don’t want to be trapped by it, you know?

tell me more about christian your description of him has me intrigued. like is he ashamed of his scars?

Well, he’s certainly not comfortable with them. I wouldn’t say ashamed exactly, but they remind him of a traumatic time in his life and therefore he avoids them as much as possible.

Mostly they cause him to resent Dr. Agau even more, because she forced him to use his powers before he was ready. The scars are her fault, the trauma and pain was her fault, and he can never forget that. He’s very intense about this, more so than the rest of the Gang.

I’m not sure what else to say, so… Is there anything else you want to know?

#squad for the horsemen

#squad: who’s friends with who? what are the squad dynamics like?

lol

they pretty much all hate each other at first. the only ones who talk are Famine and Death, and that’s because Famine thinks Death forfeit the contest and wants someone to complain/brag to. (she avoids the other two). 

Conquest and War end up in a relationship that’s secretly a huge manipulation tactic on War’s part, which ends with War trying to slit Conquest’s throat so they don’t really like each other after that. War’s pissed off that Conquest is some kind of unkillable cockroach and Conquest is heartbroken! betrayed! absolutely going to get revenge 😘🔪

Conquest and Death become allies out of necessity after that, because Conquest has nowhere else to go but Death’s realm once War rudely steals their kingdom. Their relationship is a back and forth of one of them owing the other a life debt and using it to force the other to do their bidding. They actually have a really good dynamic (plus a whole light/darkness contrast going on, wooh)

War and Death end up as bitter enemies. Mostly because War is terrified of Death, an unknown variable in his careful game, and when War’s scared of something he chokes the fear and just blindly HATES the thing. Death hates War because War brings the most needless, careless destruction and horror upon people. It’s horrifying even to a demonic entity.

question based on your last post. does jesse not feel pain?

oh he super does, he’s just kinda stopped caring about it! he’s experienced some incredibly painful stuff, so mild injuries (cuts, bruises, slight burns) don’t really bother him as much (or at all)! 

he lit himself on fire just to see what would happen in the mid-40′s – just for fun – so he has a disturbing habit of doing dangerous stuff because he doesn’t really mind pain. he’s pretty much the definition of reckless
