UNPROMPTED ASKS. // ALWAYS ACCEPTING.
@vjestica said. “ slow down ! there are seconds you know ! ”
Rapidly swallowing down the food, laughter — BOLD && Loud filled the air. Awkward fingertips moved ribbing at the back of his neck, tugging at the dark locks. ❝ Sorry — Sorry, I just wasn’t expecting it to be this good, thanks again. ❞
SHE BLINKED A FEW TIMES TAKEN ABACK BY HIS COMPLIMENT . it was a little back - handed but she’d let it pass this time . ❝ hey just because i’m from the tops doesn’t mean i don’t know how to cook ! my father taught me everything i know so give us a little credit ! ❞ she said with a huff before crossing her arms . she was tempted , to deny him of his seconds , but then that’d mean she let his words get under her skin ; and surely he meant no harm .
casually steals her daughter's make - up. ( :P )
SLUT , SKANK , BITCH . were words she wanted to call sarah but nadia did not say . it would be beneath her character to do such , and something her father would hear about and punish her for later . ❝ plastic stripper barbie . ❞ was the best insult she could mutter to herself .
... kisses the top of her head. “don’t tell your father I was being nice to you. “
SHE WAS STUNNED TO SILENCE BUT ONLY BRIEFLY , ❝ dad !! something is wrong with your wife !! i think she’s sick !! ❞ nadia screamed as she raced out of her room to find her father . who had taken the redheaded seductress and replaced her with a matronly godfairy . this would not do , oh no , nadia would not allow it .
@eriidanus bc stupid ass au reasons
@hercbled // gets a starter !
SHE DIDN’T FREQUENT THE SLUMS MUCH . if she did it was always for business not pleasure . however , upon recognizing a familiar face in one of the sectors of midgar’s slums it was hard for her not to indulge . she tapped the man on the shoulder and smiled . ❝ well well , what do we have here ? mr . fair , how kind of you to remind us you’re still alive and well . i was almost led to thinking you were another lost soul in this sin city . ❞
fanciful words came from her pink painted lips . speaking with an acquaintance would be a rare exception , like a sweet treat during a month old diet . she had met zack fair a few times now , he had proved both charming and useful . it would be in her best interest to keep track of him the best she could . who knew when she might need his assistance or hers for his own . again , she had to remind herself she was only here for business not pleasure ; and that there still was a job to do .

Tumblr has always been a fierce believer in free speech and the power it gives to the people who wield it. Throughout history, free speech has been the most important tool used to fight for racial and social justice. The protests being held in honor of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery are no different. They are important. They should not be ignored or derided. The disproportionate violence Black people face from those who have power in our country is not acceptable. It’s on all of us, regardless of race, to stand up for what is right, to demand justice, and to demand change.
Say their names.
Black lives matter.
REEVE :
REEVE couldn’t help but let out a small laugh as he moved to place a hand on her shoulder for a moment. “ you don’t have to do anything special today to look beautiful. You are beautiful every day” he couldn’t help but smile and moved his and down, to take hers softly. holding it for a moment. As much as he was tired, and needed a little rest, at least he could count on her right. “Besides, every day is special, since I am with you.”
SHE COULD NO LONGER HIDE FROM HIM , she smiled at him with her cheeks dusted with a pink blush . he was always so gentle and kind with her , what did she do to deserve him ? she had been horrible to him in the beginning and he never changed his tune towards her . she owed him a great debt that she hoped that her companionship would be payment enough .
❝ reeve , i don’t know why you love me so , but i love you too . ❞ she said in a wistful tone . then nadia leaned in and placed a kiss upon his cheek . he deserved a token of her affections for him as well . as she pulled away she squeezed his hand before leading him to the kitchen once more .
“ nadia, this ain’t my scene. ” yeah, there was one time that cloud danced for the sake of saving tifa from a horrible fate at the hands of don corneo, and the makeover that followed had tainted whatever enjoyment the memory held. he may’ve gotten into it, but the memory still brought him some amount of discomfort.
“ if you actually need somethin’, i’ll stay. otherwise, i got deliveries to get to. ”
@vjestica // plotted starter
A POUT IMMEDIATELY FORMED UPON HER PINK LIPS . did he really have to go ? he didn’t question why or where they were going , so why did it matter now that they were here . he said he didn’t have many more deliveries to do too . why couldn’t he spare this one dance for her ? ❝ oh come on cloud please ? no one judges here , there’s new and old people here alike ! ❞ she said with her usual peppy tone . she wouldn’t let him run out on her so easily now that he was here ! she was going to make him dance !
@ancientblxde // cont .
“I tend to get that a lot……but yes, I really am a weapon that is in human form.” He shrugged since she wanted to know and well….he wasn’t lying since why would he? “But take it or leave it how you will.”
❝ BUT HOW DOES THAT EVEN WORK ? did the mako do this ? ❞ it was perplexing to her , she had no idea what this meant . did he live and exist like a human or as an inanimate object ?
