anyone wanna split the cost on a rygos gif pack? 🫠

[whispersoftheveil]

behemoth! is gonna be the centerpiece at nyff and pedro's apparently insanely good in it i'm livid. also hating once again that i'm stuck in fricken europe and have 0 chance of going there ever.

anyway, cat ultrasound went p well? idk if i'm happy or not bc to this day we don't know why he gets sick when he does, but cat is back to normal again and there's no more signs of infection or objects in his intestines so... he has once again been declared healthy.

life should chill a bit now i guess, so here's to hoping i can finallyyyyy get caught up on replies and stuff. ty to all who've been patient while my chaotic bum has been a mess.

[whispersoftheveil]

we're going back to the vet in a bit for the final ultrasound (maybe) to see like if whatever they think they might've seen is still there or not ahfskl. cat has been pretty good? almost too good tbh, like bullying the other cats again and wanting to eat wayyyy too much compared to almost nothing at all. so ideally they'll tell us he seems fine today and we pray he never throws up again like this, or at least for a while so my wallet can recover.

i will be around after that. ik i've been slow and absent, it's just all been a lot. plus trying to get finances going with the insane vet costs, panic settling in over new job in september etc. but i've been chipping away at things, you can alsooo send in memes if you'd like.

love on my pedro bbies, i dare u.

@swoledadenergy (for aidan)

elias  had  never  been  particularly  fond  of  company  parties.

they  were  a  necessary  evil  more  than  anything  else,  another  expectation  attached  to  his  position  that  required  a  smile,  a  firm  handshake  and  the  occasional  laugh  at  jokes  that  weren't  nearly  as  funny  as  everyone  pretended  they  were.  usually,  he  knew  exactly  where  his  limit  was.  one  drink  became  two  over  the  course  of  an  evening,  enough  to  be  polite  without  sacrificing  the  control  he  valued  perhaps  a  little  too  much.  apparently,  last  night  had  been  the  exception.

the  pounding  behind  his  temples  told  him  as  much  before  he  had  even  opened  his  eyes.

for  a  moment,  he  remained  perfectly  still,  hoping  the  headache  would  ease  if  he  simply  gave  himself  another  minute.  it  didn't.  with  a  quiet  groan,  he  dragged  a  hand  over  his  face  and  finally  forced  himself  awake,  only  for  confusion  to  settle  in  almost  immediately.  the  room  was  unfamiliar.  not  dramatically  so,  not  enough  to  make  him  think  he'd  woken  up  in  some  stranger's  house  across  town,  but  enough  that  every  instinct  told  him  this  wasn't  home.  this  wasn't  his  loft.

his  brow  furrowed  as  he  pushed  himself  upright,  the  blanket  slipping  down  to  reveal  yesterday's  trousers  and...  nothing  else.

"...fuck."

the  word  barely  left  his  lips  before  another  realization  hit  him.  someone  else  was  in  the  bed  with  him.  his  stomach  dropped.  the  last  thing  he  remembered  was  his  company's  celebration  after  closing  a  major  deal.  drinks  had  been  flowing  far  more  freely  than  usual,  colleagues  insisting  on  one  toast  after  another  until  the  evening  blurred  into  little  more  than  disconnected  flashes.  a  taxi.  the  lobby  of  his  apartment  building,  maybe.  had it been his? after  that...

nothing.  absolutely  nothing.

panic  settled  in  slowly,  cold  enough  to  sober  him  faster  than  the  headache  ever  could.  his  phone.  wallet.  keys.  if  he  could  just  find  those  first,  maybe  the  rest  would  come  back  too.  or  maybe  he'd  simply  slip  out  before  having  to  ask  the  question  already  echoing  through  his  mind.

what  the  hell  happened  last  night?

and  then  he  felt  the  mattress  dip  beside  him. "and  then  he  felt  the  mattress  dip  beside  him. what if he just hid under the covers?

PROMPTS FOR A LITTLE JEALOUSY *  assorted dialogue for when you see the person you're interested in with someone else and go... hey wait a minute, adjust as necessary

are you two... together?

i should probably ask if you're single first.

who was that you were talking to?

did you two have a nice chat?

are we really doing this now?

what was that all about?

i don't like it when they touch you.

they need to learn to keep their hands off you.

are you trying to make me jealous?

you just gave me the impression we were exclusive.

who was that, anyway?

was that someone you know?

it's completely innocent.

were you flirting with them?

that was a little bit excessive.

they were flirting with you.

i'm not jealous.

i'm upset with you.

they didn't mean anything by that.

i just thought we had something going on.

they know i have feelings for you.

i hate it when you get jealous.

i'm two seconds away from throwing a punch.

they did that on purpose.

wait a minute... are you jealous?

you have no reason to worry.

i'm not interested in them, i promise.

they do get a little touchy-feely, i'll admit.

they don't mean anything by it.

did they just try to kiss you?

we're just really good friends!

you know i only have eyes for you.

please ignore them, okay?

it's not like i'm in love with you or anything.

they're just trying to upset you.

i just don't like it when someone else flirts with you.

i don't blame them, of course, but you're mine.

next time someone tries to hit on you, call me over.

i'll give them a piece of my mind.

they know you're taken, right?

i didn't want to get in your way.

clearly your mind is elsewhere.

if you'd rather be with them, then just tell me.

i need to know where we stand.

can we be more exclusive?

i just don't like it when they talk to you like that.

you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

if they make you happy... i can't stop it.

maybe i have a crush on you. so what?

there was a better way to go about this, you know.

you could have been a little bit nicer.

did you have to be so nasty about it?

i'm going to scream.

i don't want anything coming in between us.

you trust me, don't you?

if you trust me, you have nothing to worry about.

this jealousy of yours is getting a little bit out of control.

i love only you.

why do they have to hold your hand like that?

they couldn't keep their hands off you.

i hate watching you deal with that.

i should give them a piece of my mind.

what? me? jealous? never.

i think i'm allowed a little jealousy every now and then.

you're mine, and i want everyone to know that.

did you just... get jealous over me?

you said you weren't the jealous type.

Edderion had wrapped up a Small Council meeting and was now returning to his laboratory to work on new herbal remedies. Going into his chambers and starting his work, what he was not expecting was a visit from the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. Opening the chamber doors, he signed looking Darian over.

"Why did you wait until I was enjoying my alone time to come and disturb me?" He cared for the other more than most people, though he did have an odd way of going about it.

"Well then what is it our esteemed Lord Commander has come to me for? Surely not just the company of one grumpy Grand Maester?"

@whispersoftheveil

[whispersoftheveil]

some  days  appeared  longer  than  others  and  some  mornings  were  rougher  than  others,  but  the  lord  commander  of  the  kingsguard  never  had  much  time  to  spare.  not  unless  he  chose  to  take  it.  in  this  case,  the  king  was  in  capable  hands,  leaving  darian  just  enough  freedom  to  steal  a  quiet  hour  for  himself.  there  were  few  places  in  the  red  keep  where  he  ever  truly  allowed  himself  that  indulgence.  the  grand  maester's  chambers  had  become  one  of  them.

he  knew  the  man's  schedule  better  than  most.  council  meetings,  ravens,  patients,  herbs,  remedies.  every  hour  of  the  day  belonged  to  someone  else  before  it  belonged  to  edderion  himself.  darian  would  be  many  things,  but  a  needless  interruption  was  rarely  one  of  them. 

his  mouth  threatened  the  faintest  hint  of  a  smile  the  moment  edderion  spoke.  "i  would  hardly  call  your  company  a  disturbance."  there  was  the  same  steady  calm  in  his  voice  that  accompanied  him  through  council  chambers  and  battlefields  alike,  though  it  carried  something  softer  here.  something  reserved  for  these  walls  alone.  “i  was  under  the  impression  i  was  sparing  the  realm  from  one  grumpy  grand  maester.”  the  corner  of  his  mouth  lifted  just  enough  to  betray  the  jest.

his  gaze  wandered  briefly  over  the  chamber,  taking  in  the  cluttered  workbench  before  settling  on  the  man  himself  once  more.  strange,  perhaps,  how  easily  he  found  peace  here.  surrounded  by  bottles,  parchment  and  the  endless  pursuit  of  knowledge  instead  of  sharpened  steel.

"unless,"  he  continued,  quieter  now,  “you  truly  would  rather  i  left  you  to  your  remedies.”  he  knew  the  answer  before  he  asked.  edderion  had  never  been  one  for  warm  welcomes  or  easy  affection.  another  man  might  have  mistaken  the  sharpness  for  dismissal,  but  not  darian.

[whispersoftheveil]

small update bc i've gone awol again. im gonna be working on things here this upcoming week. tmi under the cut.

to explain where i am... i took in my granddad's 10 ish year old cat a few years ago and he's been having these recurring nausea-vomiting episodes and like we had a month between 1-2, but only 10 days between 2-3 so we have been back at the vet for a bazillion tests.

atp we're looking at like 2000€ of vet and like... we know a lot of things that aren't the problem. he seems healthy otherwise so the vet(s) are like trying their best. he's home with antibiotics atm, friday will be ultrasound again to see if what they think might be an infection in his intestines is gone or not. but if it isn't and bla... only option left is surgery... boss vet surgeon didn't wanna do it yet bc like his bloodwork etc is literally perfect otherwise so there's not really like enough reason to do cut him open but also .. he's clearly struggling with nausea when the episodes hit and he's feeling bad and there's gotta be SOME trigger for it.

*sigh*

i spent the past week watching him, trying to get him to eat and drink, monitoring it, dealing with his fits bc he keeps wanting different foods after a day or two and like can we pls not.. im exhausted and worried and yeahhhhhh. it's just been a lot.
