Robby knew Dennis was taking his and Jack's boxers.
Robby also knew Dennis has some sort of a scent kink, because Jack caught the boy jerking off while smooshing Robby's brief into his face once (poor thing thought he was being sneaky).
He and Jack haven't told Dennis that they know (or that they didn't mind) yet, given that he was acting like a pervert stealing his boyfriends' underwear to pleasure himself. But that's ok, they would let the man come to them when he's ready (though Jack was getting impatient to explore this further with their boy).

Some thoughts, until next time!
It will be a while before I come back to Tumblr but I should be thankful to that Instagram reel of Jinmao that introduced me to this masterclass in storytelling....I devoured the source material and loved everything about the anime...As the second season wraps up with end of an important arc and end of certain characters we will either not see for the foreseeable future or will be relegated to the periphery, next few arcs are about some new characters and some of the characters in two seasons getting more screen space than they had (read Lahan and Rikuson)....I had some thoughts and I am going to share them until next time, this will be kind of my last long post for now...
Friendship, Betrayal, Uncertainty and Fate's gamble...
For me, despite the clamour of last few episodes, these bonds meant friendship and I will be leaving thoughts accordingly... And I will not try to make it about Shisui only (I have spoken enough on her)....These two were MaoMao's some of the most precious of bonds...Shisui and Xiaolan gave MaoMao space to be herself without any obstacle of her upsetting a superior, she did not have to care about her station in front of these two... Moreover, they accepted her for her talents and quirks...They were truly precious, safe and non-judgmental like a friendship is supposed to be....So the hurt was piercing when it all came crashing down....
A friend's betrayal and another friend's loss cut a soul like MaoMao deep because the love was deep... Xiaolan and Shisui had made MaoMao realise she had a support system to rely on and they were in this together, for such bonds to meet such uncertain ends where MaoMao is not even sure if she will ever see them again (Shisui because we know and Xiaolan given she never knows the address of where she went)...Fate was cruel to these three, more so for Shisui, as she was pushed to the brink...I hope their innocent revelries had not met such a twisted end...
Kindness as an Eternal Principle
I cannot put in words how much this scene moved me...Jinshi, for me showed a glimpse of a really noble ruler knowing his subjects too well, given the way he gently broke news of children surviving to Suirei...And Suirei, my precious one, suffered like hell and to see her finally getting some good news was such a moving and relieving scene...To know that she was initially represented as a cold-cutting character, her unraveling as an abuse victim and her beautiful bond with Shisui was so deeply moving.....I love how one main thing common between Jinshi and MaoMao remains their kindness for other people 's suffering...The way it makes them understand even most dangerous of people (narratively speaking)...This moment is perfect encapsulation of Jinshi's kindness as he is literally dealing with a former assassin who made a very dangerous attempt on his life and was involved in various other fatal incidents at the rear palace! There is a reason I put him on a pedestal!

Love as Poetry in War and Peace...
You would think Love is not there, you may bite, argue, apply vague and poorly defined filters and parameters, call people on their side every kind of name but no matter what you do or say, some stories are bound by Poetry of their time...Kind of Love that doesn't betray you at the altar of politics, kind of Love where reverence by someone is like getting a second chance at living... Love that is whispered in the air, it straddles in subtle moments...Love that grows, and fulfills... It doesn't need noise, or fireworks, to register....Love that nurtures and waits for other with incredible patience...Love that becomes yearning, angst and even anger but not betrayal, never betrayal...
Love as Reverence, as Poetry, Love as between Moon and Earth...
Bereave the Past
But Future is smiling!
Lastly, What is the Cost of Politics?
Everything....
Meeting the gang (so far) 🪞
I came to the realization that I may have forgotten to say that the gang does not puppeteer the puppets! Wallace puppeteers Wally but the others work in their own respective departments on the show. Though he wouldn’t be against letting them if they want to.
It’s no secret that Wallace takes inspiration from his loved ones.
Nanago Fest Day 2 - "Long Train Ride."
This is the last piece I am posting for the fest, and out of all of them I like this one the most. It captures my nostalgia for the series, and the sense of a long journey, winding into a future end.
I had a lot of fun participating, and I hope to keep creating in this fandom for a long time yet.
BrumisWeek Day 1 : First kiss !
Probably not the update people been waiting for but i needed to doodle God of Death Andrew and God of Life Aaron before i shared anything else...
from my previous post about Cultist Neil and God of Death Andrew, we have here the Twinyards.
It's with a heavy heart to announce that I will no longer be posting here on Tumblr. I will be posting solely on ao3 going forward. That includes all existing unfinished fics I have posted on here, there will be no further updates on this platform.
I've enjoyed my time on here, and I thank all 2k of you who have followed me, left comments and kind words. However, I'm done now.
I'm tired. I'm tired of trying when I just want to be vibing. I've come to the realisation that I'm not really enjoying writing as much as I did and it's slowed significantly. So I'm removing one thing and sticking to what made me fall in love with writing in the first place. I might come back, but I doubt I ever will.
I'll still post on my side blog from time to time, but I imagine I'll stop with that one once my long fic is finished.
Though, I will keep all my posts up here so anyone can still read what I've posted, there's ao3 links to the specific fics on most posts I have made.
Thank you to all the mutuals I've made and had the fortune to meet and connect with, I adore all of you.
This isn't goodbye, it's just until next time <3
