Blue Dragons

They hear it coming first.

Not that they would know how to recognize the sounds of immense wings flapping into the night sky.

They feel the wind next. See the trees leaning to one side, as if trying to escape from a terrible storm.

More sound, as weaker branches start to crack under the assault of the strong winds.

Then, they see it.

Or rather, they see many a star all at once being obscured by that huge mass speeding in the village direction.

It is far too late to flee when the glow of the torches finally catches golden scales.

The ground shake under their feet when the Golden Dragon lands at the village's walls.

The walls had always seemed so tall to Eggsy, even after he was no longer a child trying to climb over them to go explore the world, unheeding of his mother's cries that he would break his neck. He never did, but he also never managed to scale the stones all the way over to the top until he was much older and much more experimented.

Next to the looming Golden Dragon, they seem puny. Inconsequential.

For the first time in his life, Eggsy is paralyzed with horror, his eyes riveted to the massive beast about to destroy their lives.

For the first time in his life, as the Golden Dragon cocks its head in his direction, Eggsy understand true despair.

None of their plans matter now. They never did.

It was pure hubris to think they could ever stand against Valentine.

Only a miracle could save them now.

And he's never believed in those.

I saw this conversation in @writingwife-83's post about nicknames

love-yellow-door said: I think when Molly hears Sherlock call her ‘Doctor Hooper’ when they are alone together, she knows things just got interesting. 😊

writingwife-83 said: @love-yellow-door mmhm, yep I agree with that! 😏

juldooz said: That’s a lovely headcanon @love-yellow-door

love-yellow-door said: @writingwife-83 @juldooz we should all write a version of this occurrence!

love-yellow-door said: The ‘Don’t call me baby’ Challenge!😁

writingwife-83 said: @love-yellow-door that’s an awesome challenge! 😆 👏🏻

juldooz said: 🤣 👏🏼@love-yellow-door that’s a wonderful challenge! 👍🏼😅

and I agree that @love-yellow-door's idea is great 👍 This should be a thing! Let's make it a thing! Maybe we could have it as @sherlollyappreciationweek monthly prompt? We haven't had those in a while. Wouldn't it be cool? I'd love to see lots of versions of it from different authors, varying from G to E 😏 I'm sure each author would tackle it their own way, so it should be really interesting ;)

☤ - a memory of death/loss

Memory Meme

I could focus on mortal deaths anytime, however, what comes first to my mind is my own death, because eventually you realize that as much drunk you are of life, as much in passionate love you are with life…you cannot longer enjoy it as the mortal you used to be, eventually you want to go back home to your roots.  to the place that saw you breathe and felt your heart beat, it’s then when the reality hits you truly and you realize the world kept going on without you, that now you’re an historical landmark if lucky, that the ones you didn’t know you’d miss are long gone.

There is nowhere to look, everyone who could understand you is dead, and you know you should be dead with them, rotting, bones already turned into dust…yet there you are, standing, living.

I had the fondest memories of the girls I left at my casa when I left them that night to meet Marius, by the time I returned even my casa was long gone. I had to accept Bianca died, and the creature that revived on her flesh was something else.

oh this is a very important thing i said last night (originally stemmed from a joke-y comment made but i took th chance 2 say smth overall)

copy/pasted under the cut with more breaks for readability

re: "ban her from drawing xyz" - i can't rly stop people from doing what they want, especially if it's harmless & what they want to do.

i appreciate everything everyone does for me and it's unfortunate that i don't really ever show any form of repayment or great deal of acknowledgement - it's something i mull over a lot and it's something i very, genuinely appreciate, and i'm fully aware that most of my responses can be or generally are less than ideal

 i'm awful with showing appreciation for things and i wish that wasnt the case, idk, i keep everything that anyone does to me close to heart, i've just gradually devolved into like.. the inability to be as energetic & enthusiastic as i was yrs ago.

i'm still very much appreciative on th inside and i'll show unrelated people things ppl have done for me and be really excited abt things there but in terms of like? publicly/around whoever's actually done smth for me - that's something i struggle very heavily with, and idk why, but it's been the case & most likely will remain the case for a long time coming

i don't know what i do in particular that like. has other people interested in my stuff, but i'm very, genuinely grateful for it.

i take a lot of things that ppl have said about my stuff to heart - i take in times where someone's said a line i wrote was funny, or that they've spent an hour or two reading my things, or that what i do inspires them one way or another, or anything in general.

i have people very willingly downloading images of specific characters to set as their desktop or phone backgrounds, and there are people who comment on things i do or say, even if it's a silly comment, that lets me know people have read what i've said about my characters.

people telling me they're invested in that i do - to the extent of writing or drawing things to do with my characters and story or otherwise - is something i don't take for granted. people legitimately kin my characters - an individual total count of around 5 people, 7 at most to my knowledge - which was, realistically, my end goal as a kind of content creator.

i'm never gonna stop anyone from doing anything. if people take pleasure in what i do, however they show it, then i'm happy. it's upsetting and unfortunate that i don't think i'll ever be able to show my genuine appreciation, but it's there.

at the end of the day i did all of my stuff for myself, and other people found entertainment and enjoyment and more in that, and that's really all i can ask for with what i do. idk

oops thats long

my mom got pissed off at me bc I scheduled tutoring for friday which is her day off and she says she has stuff to do and I understand that but I’m sorry that I don’t understand math and need help??? sorry it's the only day the tutor can do it????

like she’s always saying if you need help let us know and well I let you know but you’re going to get upset because you need to drop me off there??? fuck that

you can very well drop me off at tutoring in the midst of doing errands and if not here’s the thing: maybe my dad can take me like gasp woah there’s 2 trucks at the house not just yours calm the fuck down and don’t get upset bc I can’t math or drive

now I’m fucking mad and I was having a decent day fuck everything

and not only that every answer I get from her now is bitchy and full of attitude and she claims that I'm the one with attitude here but guess what it's both of us but now let the record show that it took only 3 mins into a car ride for me to upset her and her to upset me

3. Gay people are different from straight people. I know, another newsflash. But really, we've been so focused in recent years on how we're all the same -- we want many of the same things in life, including a job, a home, a relationship -- that we've obscured some real differences in how we've constructed our community and our relationships. Historically, gay men have engaged in intergenerational sexual encounters, brief romances and long-term relationships -- among consenting adults -- probably much more than straight people have. One reason is simply that, historically, we've had to find each other and teach each other about ourselves, coming together in a larger world that doesn't teach us our history, our culture or simply how to be gay, how to protect ourselves, how to have families -- even how to have sex. And often, but certainly not always, that's been about older people teaching younger people -- again, consenting adults. Yes, there are older (and younger) gay men who are selfish and narcissistic and exploit people who are young and naïve, just like a lot of older (and younger) straight men. But that's often a gross generalization that doesn't account for the great many nurturing intergenerational bonds. One thing that's different about gay men -- and lesbians, for that matter -- is that we often become very close friends, sometimes lifelong friends, with our former lovers, partners, boyfriends, girlfriends and flings. I think every gay man I know has had a good friend whom he slept with at least once. Many of my lesbian friends have ex-girlfriends (sometimes a lot older) who are their best friends even as they're deeply involved in new relationships.
