THEMIS'S TYPEWRITER - NOW INTRODUCING: PROMPTS & UPCOMING EVENTS!!
To kickstart the new year, we will be sharing (somewhat) monthly prompts. Those in the Discord server, do see everything first, so if you'd like to see things before they're posted here, feel free to join by clicking here! The reason I say somewhat is because whenever there isn't an event (i.e. Artem/Marius Week in their respective months), we will post a list of prompts. This is to give everyone ample time to write and to prevent anyone from experiencing potential burnout.
General Rules:
All submissions should be submitted by the last day of the month (ideally). That being said, you can post any time during the month. Just use the tag: #tt; monthly prompt - This will be followed so we can reblog any work as it gets posted. You can also @ us so we see it!
There will be multiple prompts to choose from. You can choose to write one or all. It's up to you!
Please make sure your writing is SFW.
If you happen to post a bit later, please make sure to indicate which month you are posting for (If there is already a new prompt up)!
There is no minimum or maximum word count required to participate. Does not have to be a long oneshot; can be a headcanon or short drabble. Whatever suits your fancy.
If you have any questions or comments feel free to send us a message!
First and foremost, I want to apologize for the lack of events happening on this page. I am currently debating on a few things. But I suppose I should explain why it's been quite inactive. I got super busy with work after the new year and I ended up finding myself in a really bad creative block. I still haven't found my way out of it so it's been really difficult trying to even think of prompts and whatnot.. I am running this page solo, which means, I also create the graphics and that alone is very time consuming.
As for the things I am debating:
I am thinking about closing the discord server and possibly reopening it when there is more of a demand for it. Since I never kept the server engaged, it ended up becoming super inactive.. I have come to realize that I need to be able to have at least one or two more people help me run it.
Second thing I am thinking about is renaming this place and possibly also being a directory/network of some sorts?? I have a few names floating in the air. But for now, I think I am going to focus on coding up a theme and work on new graphics. In coming days, this place may actually close down and popping up later with the new name. But I also think it would be cool to be a place where writers could apply and be a part of so any original written content will be reblogged at any given moment, not just event work.
This all makes more sense in my head so I apologize if anything above doesn't quite make sense.. I am sure I won't have a clear idea until I actually dive into my ideas.
For now, I am going to let all these thoughts and ideas kind of simmer a bit because all of this all quite impulsive on my part.
Thank you for reading if you made it up to here. Please look forward to whatever this place will become next. haha
Would people be okay with a five day Marius week? I have been busy with work and I just got back from vacation. I can try and brainstorm prompts and create things within the next 24 hours to be able to post for the 16th through the 21st.
Rosa suppressed a sigh when Artem gave his answer, his lips curled into a polite smile as he glanced at the tie she pointed out.
'Fine' was fine most of the time...but not when asking the birthday celebrant himself to pick out his own present.
Maybe the mini-mall near the office wasn't the best place to spring that request.
"You're not being very helpful, Mr. Wing." Rosa pouted as she carefully returned the tie to its original place on the rack. "There's no point in having you pick out your gift if you think everything is just 'fine'."
"I did tell you what I wanted though."
"When?" Rosa titled her head as she faced her partner.
Artem simply smiled and said, "Earlier, during lunch."
'Lunchtime...?' Rosa sifted through the afternoon's events, filled with frosting and laughter. 'When we were having cake? But what he said was...'
"!!!"
Artem looked at her the whole while, letting out a chuckle in spite of himself after seeing her turn bright red.
"Something the matter with my request?" Artem decided to tease her for a little while longer. Was this how Marius felt whenever they spoke?
"I thought you said that because you were shy about getting gifts..." Rosa scratched the back of her head, looking everywhere but at Artem. "You looked kind of out of it when Kiki and the others gave you their presents."
"My reaction was more because they usually seem scared stiff of me than anything." He coughed, cheeks tinged pink. "It was surprising, but not unpleasant."
"I'm glad to hear that." Rosa smiled as she imagined the look of relief on Kiki's face. She had worn her worry on her sleeve all afternoon.
"Back to what you said though..." Rosa felt the heat creep up her cheeks once again. "Are you really okay with just that?"
"I meant every word." Artem's tone was gentle, as always.
"Your company...is the only present I'll ever need."

D-31 until Artem’s birthday! Here are the days that Artem Week will fall on~ It will be a week full of prompts every day leading up to Mr. Wing’s birthday. Suggestions are welcomed for what prompts you’d like to see for the week, which you could send via ask box! When it gets a bit closer, I will be posting daily previews of some of the prompts for each day~ (I know it hasn’t been quite active here, so I hope that this will help boost activity once again!)
I completely forgot to post this at the beginning of the month, but better late than never. This month will be a free month so I can get ready for Artem Week. If there are any prompts/words/quotes you would like to see for Mr. Wing's week, please feel free to send in a message or you can send suggestions to the Discord server: https://discord.com/invite/JaC2qWwh2j
I hope that everyone will look forward to what is to come for Artem Week!! ^^
Prompt: Love languages from @themistypewriter February prompt
Rating: General
C/Ws: fluff, second-person pov, mentions of main story (ep 5?) details.
Word count: 1.4k
A/N: based on the global server.
Words of affirmation
I feel that Words of Affirmation is Luke’s primary love language. He is very vocal about expressing his feelings for you, and he always wants to reassure you that you are very special to him.
It also seems that he prefers to receive love in that way. When you have misunderstandings, he is reassured after you have thoroughly explained yourself.
If he’s already that vocal in a friendship, in a romantic relationship he would even be more conscientious.
He would constantly express his love and affection for you, but it doesn’t always come in the form of “I love you”. He would praise you, tell you all the things he admires about you, and express how he feels whenever he is with you.
I think Luke is the type to be quite confident in a relationship, so he wouldn’t say “I love you” that often, because he doesn’t think it’s necessary, just like he wouldn’t need to hear it from you. Your tone of voice and what you say to him are already conveying your love for him.
If you’re the type who says “I love you” quite often, he would get used to it and pick up the habit to say it just as much – not just saying it back to you, but actually saying it randomly at other times.
I think Luke would also be the type to keep in touch through texting throughout the day. Sending you little stickers every now and then, and just telling you random things about his day. Your replies help him feel connected to you, and even if you’re not speaking of anything important, you replying to his bids for attention mean the world to him.
If you’re really busy during the day, he’d make sure to call you when you’re free. Hearing your voice relaxes him.
Quality time
I think quality time would be next, but it would tie with Acts of Service.
Whenever you and he have a free day, he’s always trying to spend it together since he feels guilty about having spent all those years apart from you.
However, he doesn’t just spend time with you out of guilt – he really needs it. He has a lot of fun with you, and sharing time and space together reinforces the connection you two have.
Be it cooking a meal – and failing in the process – together, going out on adventures, or even just watching a movie, he loves giving you his undivided attention, and he thrives on you doing the same.
Your time together has a hint of the familiarity you two shared growing up, so it’s quite easy for you to spend entire days together without feeling any need for alone time.
However, if you two are busy, he’d suggest working on your own projects together – it reminds him of how you guys used to study together during high school. He would ask for your advice with certain problems, and he’d offer to do the same for you. Being able to talk about your work with this kind of depth brings you closer, and proves that you can count on each other for everything.
Acts of Service
He is always trying to protect you and make sure you are safe, so obviously acts of service are big for him. It comes like second nature to him, and he doesn’t even realize he is trying to do something for you until you point it out to him.
If you are okay with him wanting to spoil you and always watch out for you, I think he would actually relax a little over time.
However, if someone trying to do stuff for you pisses you off – because it makes you think other people don’t believe you are capable of being independent – and you confront him about it, it would hurt him at first.
He wouldn’t understand why you don’t want him doing all those things for you – checking that any small cut is healing properly, making sure you are warm and cozy and well-fed, etc. – because for him it’s just a way to prove that he cares about you.
If you take the time to explain it to him – that you are an adult and have been perfectly capable of surviving and thriving on your own before he reappeared into your life – he would try to rationalize it, so he would totally understand what you mean, but it wouldn’t change the fact that he still wants to do things for you.
He would try to find other activities that don’t annoy you, like carrying stuff that looks heavy, taking you to and picking you up from places, and definitely, getting better at cooking special dishes for you.
When it comes to receiving love, I think he would probably feel the same discomfort you may feel if you do acts of service for him. He would think he is inconveniencing you, that you have had to go out of your way for him, so he wouldn’t realise it is you showing him love, because he is too busy feeling bad about making you do all those things.
If one of your main languages is acts of service, I think with just a bit of insistence, he’d end up realizing you’re doing those things because you want to. It would probably make him want to dote on you even more.
If it is not one of your main languages, Luke wouldn’t really notice either, because he isn’t really expecting it or needing it from you.
Gifts
I feel like gift-giving would be more practical in Luke’s case. He would gift you things that are basically helping him take care of you. It can come in any form, from healthy take out, to booking a massage for you.
I think Luke is fine with receiving gifts, but it can also make him slightly uncomfortable. He will assess how much you’re giving him and whether or not he’s giving you just as much.
I bet at some point it felt like both of you were competing to see who could gift more things to the other lol.
But I believe Luke loves your gifts because they are material proof of your affection. I think this man could receive only one gift from you in like three years and he would be totally fine, he wouldn’t feel any less loved by you.
If you do gift him things regularly, he would make sure to keep every single thing, no matter how silly and small. He would find ways to keep them both at his place and the shop, so that he can look at them whenever he is feeling lonely and be reminded of you and the love both of you share.
I also think he’d prefer gifts that he can wear – like the key he keeps close to his heart, or the globes you gifted him for his 25th birthday.
And hear me out, I feel that couple sets would be a thing. I can totally see him wanting to wear matching accessories or even less obvious things, like outfits that are colour coordinated but not too outstanding. It would be something only you two notice but that mimics the bond you two have.
Touch
I was super sure touch isn’t something Luke craves – since his feelings for you stayed strong for 8 years without seeing you – BUT he did hug you after he found out you had joined the NXX and you guys fought over it.
So I think touch is something he doesn’t necessarily need, but he does express his love through touch and it reassures him.
The good thing is it means you two are good to go in a long-distance relationship as well, which you may end up in due to Luke’s job.
Having known each other for so long, touching each other wouldn’t be unnatural, but the romantic aspect to it would still make him a bit nervous.
If your primary love language is touch, he would be a bit surprised at first about how touchy you are, but he would be happy about it, and soon enough he would be the one initiating physical contact.
He’d find ways to casually touch you out in public – like brushing your hair out of your face, readjusting something on your clothes or flicking away something, and obviously, holding hands would be a must. In private, I think Luke would be really cuddly, lightly pecking your cheeks and your connected hands, and he’d want to be close to you at all times.
He would also be quite playful and start tickle fights, or even blow raspberries on your stomach (if you’re okay with it) randomly.
