[Waist][Nuzzle]

Simple Actions

[WAIST] - sender rests a hand against receiver's waist.

already answered here!

[NUZZLE] - sender nuzzles into receiver's neck.

Touch is instinctual to Elouan. Be it handholding, hugging, or butterfly kisses all over skin or hair or lips, connecting on a physical level is what he does best. And, what he thrives best from. The room's dim lighting soothes his sore muscles from their day of work, while Marcel's arms support him at the waist. He drapes his own like a warm, comforting shawl over his shoulders and sighs. A few kisses here, a few there, and lips roam on cheeks, jaws, and mouths alike.

Elouan tilts his head back as warm breaths grace his neck and a soft kiss marks one of his many scars. He twitches his ears, breath puffing out in a pleased sigh. They sway along to the sound of the crackling fireplace nearby and the idle whispers of the Coerthan wind beyond. Three more kisses trail down his neck until Elou feels him nuzzle into the crook. Elouan chuckles, leaning his head over to protect his partner from the world. "Ah, you best be careful, I'm a little ticklish...are you tired already, Marcy?"

set2zero asked “�� - What is the best idea your character ever had?”

“Hmmm...” Yomu pauses to think for a moment. “I’m not sure if this counts, but I guess joining the botanist’s guild was a good one. Growing up on a farm I’ve always loved plants and nature, and thanks to the guild I’ve learned all about the ones native to Eorzea.  I was also happy to help Ishgard cultivate new crops!  And tending to my garden is always relaxing when I need a break from adventuring.”

(Thank you for the ask @set2zero​ !)

My lab rotation includes microbiology, and I'm afraid there aren't any real bad horror stories for antibiotic resistance, except when everything you try on the bacteria is resistant, and sensitivity testing takes a day; so each new antibiotic the doctor requests means an extra day for the report to come out, which means the patient's stay is extended, and the patient may suffer the side effects of various antibiotics. Then hope you don't get blood sepsis.

Stonework Head Canons

set2zero asked “Apatite Chatter & Fluorite Cloud for Yomu!”

Apatite Chatter: Are they the friendly sort or do they prefer to let others start off interactions with them?

Yomu scratches the back of his head and smiles bashfully, “I really enjoy meeting new people and learning about them but I’m not very good at approaching them.  I’ve tried... but I think my appearance scares them - Au Ra are not too common in Eorzea and our resting faces tend to scowl.” 

Fluorite Cloud: If they had the opportunity, would they prefer to know what’s going to happen in the future or not? Why?

Yomu frowns and gets a far off look in his eye, as if various bad memories are replaying at once. “That sort of knowledge could be a burden, but if I could use it to protect the ones I love I would take it.  I’ve lost too much... I never want to see them harmed again...”

Thank you for the ask @set2zero <3

Thanks for the ask! Current caster look! ✨ I put this look together for a contest and I like it so much that I’m keeping it as my current caster glam XD

set2zero replied to your post “On reactions to “Return to Ivalice” and its changes”

Having played the first raid, I was actually hopeful that they'd be faithful to FFT's story at least. Then they shoehorned Alazlam Durai's name in and I cringed. I'll still play it for the raids, but my expectations are low for the plot.

This criticism makes no sense, either; we don’t know anything about Arazlam’s life, only his writings - he could have had two children and named them for Ramza and Alma. He could have changed his name to Jenomis after publishing the Durai Papers because the church would object to them. It’s likely he was not a playwright, but... that seems a strong reaction to such a detail? The existence of the Prima Vista is a great tribute to the theatricality of Tactics?

So weird.

11, 15,18, 24

11) what aspect of your writing do you think has most improved since you started writing?Probably my scene setting and world-building! I used to previously focus a lot more on lyrical prose, and my fics/writing would exist within a brief unspecified moment. Now, given I’ve done a number of AUs, I pay a lot more attention to how characters perceive each other and the details of their assigned roles in that universe to ensure they don’t end up contradicting future plot points/becoming too trite.15) why did you start writing?Because I wanted to read the fics in my head! In years to come, I’m totally going to come back to my AO3, read all the stuff I wrote and relive all the happy frisson shivers that made me write them in the first place. (Heck, I already do this with my LJ fics.)18) were there any works you read that affected you so much that it influenced your writing style? what were they?TBH, I can’t recall any right now? But given how much fanfics I’ve devoured in various fandoms, it’s safe bet to assume they’ve rubbed off on my writing style somehow.

24) have you ever become an expert on something you previously knew nothing about, in order to better a scene or a story?Bridge architecture. Japanese conventions (to an extent). Does writing fight scenes count? xD

Genji, Widowmaker, Reinhardt, Mercy

Genji: Any body modifications you want but are too scared to get?Mmm, I already have pierced ears, so not really. Oh, sometimes I toy with the idea of getting a tattoo to cover up the scar on the back of my leg, you know the one. I don’t have any designs that interest me enough to really consider it though.Widowmaker: Last instance that really tested your patience.…*sighs* It’s really tiny and honestly more of a poor reflection on me than anything, but. When a group of people were joking about me being the odd one out and kind of…rubbed it in a little? It was in jest and not really done in the spirit of being mean, but it had been a long day, I was tired from work and stressed about a writing deadline and it was just too much.I pretended to nap until I felt better because exploding would have been a surefire way to make life difficult for myself in the long run.Reinhardt: What is the thing you love most about yourself?UH. I like my height (but want 5cm more)? My ability to make really bad puns? But really, I do appreciate the fact that I am a whole, complete human being with less problems than I could potentially have. 

Mercy: Do you prefer to give or receive?I…really, really like receiving. But when I give, I do my best to go all-in, 100% percent to try to ensure the recipient likes what I’m giving them because the reactions are so very worth it.[Overwatch asks meme]
