Sample Saturday Sunday

Hello, @nyx-de-riva I saw your post and am considering myself tagged (I really liked your sample 💖)

So here's mine from my wip aptly named "First time". You know how Rook can say in game that Emmrich is his first? I apparently needed to write a whole thing about their first lovemaking session. It's from Emmrich's pov and they're enjoying themselves a lot.

“Want you to fuck me,” he whispered against Emmrich’s lips. Oh. Rook was not one to ask for things where matters of intimacy were concerned, he seemed too embarrassed. Unless he was very desperate for it. And there went all his planning. There was very little of it anyway, so it likely did not matter overmuch. Bur he just couldn’t refuse him when he asked like that, breathy and eager and needy for him.

And I am bothering you again, my dear friends. No pressure as always 💖 @lavender-tea-fling, @spinfins, @mercars-musings, @sorrowsfallallaround, @redheadsramblings, @starfleetteddybear, @pavuslavellan, @notyourmamasdeerbat, @bygonesigh

Have a little Emrook Angsty argument, Post Cage for Gods, Emmrich gets to be angy for a minute :3

{PSA: This is a very rough excerpt try not to judge too much lmfao}

-----------------------------------

"You disappeared Dearest… Each hour would have been another hour I lost, another I couldn't find-" Emmrich paused momentarily, taking a second to compose himself. " I couldn't allow that to happen."

"Em-"

"No." The necromancer stated, frustration lacing his tone and negating any effort he made to stay composed. "Any second wasted, was to be another second you were suffering; another you were trapped in- How could you dare say I should have rested more?"

Emmrich stopped in his tracks, cut off by a noise that was best described as a mixture of heartbroken sob & a pathetic laugh in spite of himself. "Even with all that… all the meals skipped… nights of sleep missed," Emmrich's hand reached up, covering part of his face as the tips of his hair splayed out between his digits. "Spirits Az… I still wasn't fast enough."

Sample Saturday Sunday

thanks for the tag @thatgaymerguyb. I've been working on 4 consecutive chapters of beneath the stone fruit trees at once that were originally meant to be 2, so here's a little bit of the first

Tiles swirl in ornate patterns beneath her feet. Akin to the patterns of constellations, the patio makes her think of nights spent laying out in the grass as the sea air from the other side of Rialto Bay washed over her. Eyes never left the stars on those nights, transfixed by the sheer volume of the universe. A vastness that surrounds her to this day and what a small fixture she remains in its confines Perhaps, there is another time and point in the universe where she would have found herself happier sooner. Safe and sound and not weighed down by history that had already been documented in ink. What a life she would have led in those daydreams written solely in her mind in the grasses of Rivain, but would it compare to the life she has managed to build despite tragedy around every corner? Doubtful, she decides and perishes the thought of landing anywhere else. However a small innately romantic part of her wishes for souls to be connected by invisible threads that will pull them together no matter how the tale unravels.

A hand rests on her back. Glimmering crystal makes its way into her periferal. “The bartender did not wish to part with this,” Lucanis tells her softly as he places the glass into her grasp. The liquid inside is a pale amber that reflects the dancing lights above her. “A Rivaini malt liquor of some sort.” He presses a kiss to her temple. “I know you prefer liquor to wine.”

It is true. She always has. Wine is an inefficient way to forget your troubled past. Liquor does the trick far quicker and with less headaches to deal with during mornings after. And of course, she is partial to those sourced from Rivain in particular. “Did you have to threaten them with a swift brutal death?” she wonders with a hum against the rim of her glass. “Costs of imported goods have increased in the last few years.” Less bodies to work. Less land to grow. Not to mention all that has happened in the South. Products from other lands in Thedas have indeed steadily climbed in the years since the risen gods fell. “I’m assuming you pay an arm and a leg to your black market pomegranate guy.”

There is a whisper of a grin that crossed his lips then, melting through the steely mask he donned in public settings. Teia poking fun at him worrying about everyone finding out that the Demon of Vyrantium having a big soft heart makes much more sense in a place like this than it had at the Lighthouse. “Beni does no dealings with any sort of black market, amor,” he tuts. “He has mentioned that shipments from Orlais have been limited recently, though.”

Leaning back into his touch, she takes a sip of the bartered-over Rivani malt. The smile that had been lingering on her face quirks as the liquid rolls down her throat. Pungent and metallic. Like a copper sheet that was used to sweep a chimney. Her eye twitches. “Oh, my love,” she coughs, nose pinched in displeasure. “Oh, it’s awful.” A shiver runs down from her neck to her knees. “I fear I’m going to have to consume the entire bottle.” This elicits a real unreserved laugh from Lucanis. His eyes crease at the corners, and heat floods her cheeks.

@thedissonantverses gimme your sample (or don't there's no pressure) but also anyone else who would like to participate do it. Let me sample ur work.

For today's Sample Saturday video, I decided to try this extremely weird looking game that turned out to actually be very funny. It's a grocery shopping/surprise shoplifting simulator where you've gotta get a bunch of stuff for your weird ass roommates. This is...

#samplesaturday: a’pieu madecassoside cream hydrating moisturizer 

price: $15 for 50 ml

key features: 0.1% madecassoside, 40% centella leaf water, niacinamide, panthenol, witch hazel extract, tea extract, adenosine, lactic acid, urea

ingredients:

Centella Asiatica Leaf Water, Water(Aqua), Cyclopentasiloxane, Propanediol, Phenyl Trimethicone, Glycerin, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Niacinamide, Cyclohexasiloxane, Panthenol, Ethoxydiglycol, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Sodium Chloride, Rubus Suavissimus (Raspberry) Leaf Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Caprylyl Glycol, Pinus Densiflora Leaf Extract, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Leaf Extract, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Butylene Glycol, Madecassoside, Pentylene Glycol, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, Adenosine, Lactic Acid, Sodium Lactate, Urea, Serine, Disodium EDTA, Sorbitol, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel Oil (!), Asiaticoside, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil (!), Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil (!), Lavandula Hybrida Oil (!), Juniperus Mexicana Oil (!), Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil (!), Allantoin, Chlorphenesin, Phenoxyethanol

first impressions: it’s a smooth, light and lemony-scented cream that sinks in wonderfully well and works nicely to fix my currently dry and flaky areas. however, the lemony fragrance instantly raised some red flags, confirmed when i checked the ingredients list and saw all the citrus peel oils, and my heart broke a little, because this is a wonderful formulation otherwise, with tons of all-star ingredients, and i’d be all over it and recommending it to everyone if only it had skipped the fragrance oils. as it is, i recommend it for dehydrated skin that’s not too sensitive.

would i buy it? seems like so far the #samplesaturday motto is “1000% yes, if it did away with citrus oils”. as it is, maybe not my first choice, though the oils seem to be at low enough concentrations that i’d consider it.

#samplesaturday: tonymoly chok chok green tea gel cream

price: $10-$15 for 60 ml

key features: green tea extract as a base instead of water, lightweight gel consistency

ingredients:

Green tea extract (80%), methylglucose-20, glycerose-26, purified water, methylpropanediol, glycerin, triethyl citrate, propanediol, butyleneglycol, cetylethylhexanoate, 1,2 Mud Mushroom Extract, Burdock Root Extract, Bergamot Oil (!), Philippine Orange Peel Oil (!), Orange Peel Oil (!), Rosewood Oils (!), Citric Acid Extract, Polyglyceryl-4-oleate, ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate / VP copolymer, glyceryl acrylate / acrylic acid copolymer, hydrogenated lecithin, PVEM / EEE polymer, carbomer, tromethamine, disodium EDTA

first impressions: very refreshing clear gel with a nice, not too strong tea scent that sinks in quickly and leaves a glowy, moisturized feeling. i don’t think this would suffice for anyone suffering from dryness, but for dehydrated oily skin this sort of gel would be ideal, and the price is quite budget-friendly too — if only it didn’t contain so many citrus peel oils! these sorts of essential oils are photosensitizing, can trigger allergic reactions on sensitive/already compromised skin, and are absolutely unnecessary in any formulation. because of that, i hesitate to recommend it to anyone that doesn’t have oily but resilient skin.

would i buy it? no, probably not. it’s not the worst gel moisturizer out there by any means, but i’d prefer something simpler, without the oils.

So much purple. I love it.

Sample Saturday: Fabolous Takes From Michael Jackson

Sample Saturday: Fabolous Takes From Michael Jackson

What do you get when u mix a little bit of Michael Jackson with a big dose of Fabolous. You get the Brooklyn born, sentimental hit “Baby”, off his 2004 album “Real Talk”. If you are trying to get the ladies attention what better way than to use the sweet sounds of the King Of PoP himself, Michael Jackson. Here are both records:
