GENTLE GESTURES (2021)

[teto]

(Gentle Gestures)

Sometimes, it's the softer side of affection that means more than anything else. Small things that only matter so much more just because you're slowly falling in love. Perhaps you don't even know it yet. However, that gentle feeling always seem to linger.

There will be a few prompts with some extra suggestions to pick from! Feel free to RNG or pick if you want. You don't have to follow the extra suggestions in the prompts obviously. Just consider it some inspiration in case you can't think of any other ideas!

01. Rain. Offering an umbrella to someone. Sharing an umbrella. Helping someone avoid a deep puddle. Stuck watching the rain together.
02. Flowers. Gardens. Perhaps picking a flower for someone. The meaning of flowers. A gift.
03. Letters. Perhaps it's a long-distance penpal. Sharing notes in class. A small, secret note of inspiration. A mystery message left on a desk.
04. Phones. Texting. Phonecalls. Maybe it's late at night when the message finally shows up. Or maybe you're trying to get the courage to send a message yourself.
05. Walks. Walking home together. A stroll through a park. Along a beach, near the waves. The sights and sounds when you're together.
06. Injured. First-aid. Carrying an injured person on your back. Warm and cool touches. Checking temperature. Staying by your side.
07. Blankets. Sharing blankets in the cold. Napping together. Someone falling asleep on you.
08. Music. Trying to find out whose voice that is. Listening to them play a guitar. Sharing headphones. A song that is dedicated to you.
09. Small touches. Brushing someone's hair out of their face. Hand holding. Sleeve tugs. Leaning against a shoulder. Indirect kisses. Smiles.
10. Chores. Doing taxes. Bills. Cleaning up messes together. Sharing a burden is easier than alone. (Thanks, Marie).
11. Photos. Taking a picture of someone. Selfies. Photobooths. Looking over old photo albums. Memories that can't be forgotten.
12. Winter. Playing in the snow. Watching snow together. Staying near the fireplace. Drinking hot cocoa. Finding warmth.
13. Sky. Watching fireworks. Stargazing. Looking at the clouds, imagining the shapes they make.
14. Food. Sharing snacks together. Remembering their favorites. Meeting at a cafe.
15. ANYTHING ELSE. There are so many things you can consider! Accidental handtouching while picking up scattered papers! Handing a balloon to someone. Stuffed animals. Carrying things together. Train and bus rides! It's the small stuff! It's all great!

This is open to anyone, feel free to share with your friends if you wanna play. Toplevel, tag around, we all secretly want schmoopy goopy.

[you know what Que loves

flowers

so after a performance by the amazing Dusk, she'll be walking towards her with PURPOSE holding in her hands a personally handpicked bouquet she had brought all the way from her home for the idol]

For you!

Re: Dusk (or Angel) | OC

[nohalation]

[She's catching her breath after the performance, and when she sees Que come up close, she has to stare for a moment to recognize what is even happening.]

For me? Why?

Re: Dusk (or Angel) | OC

[brightestdawn]

Because it feels nice. When you sing.

I wish I could do something as nice as your singing.

Re: Dusk (or Angel) | OC

[She takes the flowers and smiles looking at them. Halation probably does not normally get a huge variety of flowers due to all of the snow, and perhaps lately, she hasn't had a chance to travel as much. It has certainly been a while since she got to visit all of those from the prison springlike Kingdom.

So she smiles.]

But you can tell me what these are, can't you?

Re: Dusk (or Angel) | OC

[brightestdawn]

My family got me a garden--well, a garden for everyone of course! Not for me, that would be silly and strange! But I do love the flowers and I wanted to share them! These here--those are lilies. And these here are daisies. And these here--those are called stargazer lilies! They're special!

[Hey.

Hey, Angel.

How's your kingdom looking?

Someone is coming for a post!Imeeji visit. It has probably been a while since they've seen each other.]

Re: 12

[nohalation]

[It has grown LARGE AND HUGE and now there are a million billionty people!! It is the greatest entertainment kingdom ever!!!!!!!!!!

Or well, not really. It's still a tiny little kingdom with maybe 100-150 people living inside. It is still kind of dingy in spots and it's certainly not regal looking. She still has a plastic bowl of fruit in her main courtyard (with one missing). And of course, it's still snowing.

But it's fine, everyone seems happy and living their lives. There are a few sheep here, too! Angel is out in the courtyard, joining a bunch of kids in building snowmen, humming to herself.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Tries to sneak up behind her and cover her eyes.]

Boo.

Re: 12

[nohalation]

[Even though her eyes are covered, you can probably tell that her eyes are wide open considering she freezes in place.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Why are you building snowmen?

Shouldn't you be building snow sheep? Then it only takes one big snowball.

[liarliarliar]

[what if that old au where Kano lived in heroaca world and temporarily worked for the bad guys before a daring rescue

so now new student B is at the legendary UA and oh no

its raining]

My hair nooooooooooo.

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

[Passing by with his umbrella up on the way to training and oh no, new student B looks stuck, going over to help] Did you forget your umbrella today?

[liarliarliar]

Ah...it's Midoriya-chan~! Perhaps I ah did but that's fine I can wait here until it slacks off.

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

But didn't I just hear you worrying about your hair Be-kun? Are you sure you want to stay out here in the cold?

[liarliarliar]

...will you keep me warm senpai?

Lamp, Child of the Stars | OC

[aimforthestars]

Kano (or B)

[liarliarliar]

[come at me]

Leonardo Watch! (or shine)

[arealeyeopener]

[he has beautiful eyes]

Some mix of 5/11/14 probably idk

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[SOMEWHERE.

In a diner in Hellsalem's Lot post!Imeeji.

Intensity is squinting at the plastic menu in front of him. When's the last time he's been to a burger joint? Or a place that had a dollar menu?

. . .

Nope. Can't remember.]

I dunno, sugar lumps.

You order for me.

[arealeyeopener]

Lovemuffin, you're so indecisive.

[the waitress snorts but Shine proceeds to order Intensity a double cheeseburger with fries and a shake--a match to his own order]

We'll see if you can stomach it.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I can stomach anything that you can, buttercup.

Even your Eldritch Horror wine.

[Did he start drinking the bottles left behind when Shine left out of nostalgia?

No. Of course not.

That would be silly. Who does that?]

[arealeyeopener]

I hate to tell you but that's not wine. It's something we just have at the bars here.

I haven't actually had any since I got back though.
