Time To Ruin Someone's Day, Here We Go!

Time to ruin someone's day, here we go!

(Aka: Me going on a rant about fluffy DarlinxQuinn.)

Warnings (?): Me swearing a lot because I wrote this the moment the thoughts came into my head without a filter, domestic fluffy things, and Quinn, who deserves to be his own warning.

Darlin and Quinn were so sweet together and you can not possibly fathom how endearing they were with one another.

For example - hear me tf out - they got matching rings to wear for their first anniversary-type thing. And I know now you might say:

"Uhh Existence, they weren't even together for a whole year. Did you even read the timeline?"

To which all I have to say is, bitch I studied the timeline, you amateur, now keep listening to what I have to say. Quinn is the type of person that celebrates this kind of shit monthly - He's the kind of person to celebrate "half-birthdays" or whatever they're called. So yea, he got himself and Darlin matching rings to put on necklaces as a first monthly anniversary gift.

Another grand example would be how these two shared each other's clothes all the time. Nobody knew which hoodie or t-shirt was whose anymore after a few months and so they'd just start buying clothes together and for each other instead of individually for themselves because they just knew they'd end up sharing the clothes anyway. And Darlin accidentally kept some of Quinn's clothes even after they broke things off.

Also, Darlin did Quinn's makeup for him. These two would be sitting pretty on the bathroom floor of Quinn's dingy little apartment, Darlin in Quinn's lap, and they'd be doing his eyeliner and applying glitter to his eyeshadow and putting on his highlighter. Once they were done, Quinn would give them the softest kiss and share his lipstick or chapstick with them before saying something like "To treat/cover up that scar I left" with the sweetest apologetic look he could muster.

Also, Quinn would always give Darlin massages and he was weirdly good at it. Most of the time these two weren't intimate in those innocent and lovely little ways, but when they were, it usually was Quinn massaging them.

And he wasn't just good with his hands when it came to massaging because this man has such steady hands that it became a regular thing for him to paint Darlin's nails, only for them to miserably fail at doing his in return. They were always super embarrassed and apologetic about it when they got the nail polish all over his fingers but to Quinn it was just the cutest thing to see them scramble to clean him up and damn near hear the blood rush to their face in embarrassment.

Another thing would be that Darlin tends to have a very hard time falling asleep, so they'd ask Quinn to trance them to sleep sometimes and he'd hum a little tune while he held them in his arms and they drifted off in his trance. When they were fully asleep he'd give them a little forehead kiss and just cuddle them closer while watching them sleep very non-creepily (definitely not creepy, why would you even suggest that?).

This one's not as wholesome, but Quinn thought it was cute and quirky to wear Darlin's blood like it was lipstick which they found disgusting, but they got desensitized to it to the point they played up their annoyance whenever they saw him do it. They'd say something like "You know it looks bad when it gets this dry, right?" before getting a wet cloth or just straight up licking it from his lips. The latter of those only encouraged Quinn to keep doing this because of course it did.

And those were my wonderful thoughts and ideas for the day, hope you enjoyed (or were miserable throughout) reading this stuff.

Also, how are we liking the dividers? I made them myself and I think they turned out pretty cute.

Ao3 is going to delete my draft if I don't post this tomorrow so woo! The first part of my one-shot series "Undying" is up now!

Mind the tags and warnings, but rest assured that this abomination of a death scene is not required to read the later (and slightly more wholesome) parts of the series. I'll probably put the second and third parts up sometime next week when Ao3 threatens to delete them, so look forward to that maybe!

(Also, I just might be working on a fourth part, but you didn't hear that from me-)

I was going to work through the reblogs I got on my "Tumblr I'm trying to do a thing, so please tell me what your favorite Redacted Audio audio(s) is/are" post.

But then I heard a song that made me think of Guy, so I started doing another one for him instead of one of the planned Avior, Lasko, or David edits.

However

I can't get the text for the video to do what I want it to, so I've started preparing yet another edit just to give me an excuse to continue editing audio instead of video.

So, uh, Tumblr people? What are some of your favorite Gavin quotes?

(Yes, "My little voyeur" is the only line I have so far, how did you know?)

Me, socially anxious, dying of anxiety and never interacting whenever someone reblogs or comments on one of my posts: ;-;

The really nice and chill Redacted Tumblr people just wanting to let me know they enjoyed my post: ._.

Ghost lore for the Redactedverse because Stranger and Xavier ghost headcanons are my guilty pleasure:

-Ghosts are dead people who died before they were supposed to, so now the rest of their life force keeps their souls around until it runs out.

->Aka: You didn't die of natural causes? Well done, you're a ghost now until you do.

-Ghosts can transfer their life force to another ghost.

->They can't transfer their life force to humans, as they are entirely incompatible in that way.

-People who were consumed by shades turn into ghosts indefinitely as long as their life force is on Elegy within the Shade.

->When the shade is killed before it can use up all of the life force, it is released into Elegy, and the ghost it originally belonged to is bound to be a spirit for the rest of time.

->If the shade uses up all of the life force, the ghost also passes on.

-Ghosts can't interfere with Elegy. They can't interact with inanimate objects and they can't interact with people.

-Ghosts can use d(a)emons' rifts and go to Aria without sustaining any damage or having their life force drained at a faster rate.

-Demons can't see ghosts, but daemons can and serenity daemons specifically can also feed on ghosts' feelings.

->However, any memories of interactions with ghosts are magically erased from daemons' memories or changed into memories of interactions with a normal human in Elegy.

-Ghosts can't touch water just like vampires can't go into the sun. If a ghost makes contact with water, they are immediately transported to the river of death with no way to return.

Might do some more of these another time, but so far this is all I've got. Hope you enjoyed ^^
