Cherry Picking ๐
Added 2024-10-23 21:22:19 +0000 UTCI'm planning the content for this month's Bonus Posts, and while I had something in mind... I'm in the mood for something light-hearted.
So, I was browsing Tumblr, looking for pictures or inspiration, and came across one of those prompt posts. And I loved it!!
Can you pick whichever prompt you like from these two lists? Some are modern โ staying at hotels, etc. โ but I can change them to fit the Rose.
Please say which character you'd like the prompt to be about! I'll try to make one for every RO โค
The links to the prompts: Link One | Link Two
Here are the transcripts of the prompts. Credit to scealaiscoite.tumblr.com
"i'll keep you safe" prompts หหห ๊ฐ ๐ ๊ฑ
โ "i can stay the night, y'know. if it'd make you feel better."
โ "try and get some sleep. i'll stay right here- i won't let anything happen to you, i swear."
โ "you should've told me this was going on. i would've put a stop to it the second i heard about it."
โ "no one gets to treat you like that, you hear me? no one."
โ "either go to bed and get some rest willingly, or i will drag your ass down the hall kicking and screaming. you know i'll have no problem with either option."
โ "you must be freezing- here, take my jacket."
โ "this place is dicey at the best of times. just take my hand until we're clear of it, yeah?"
โ "anyone touches you, says anything to you, so much as looks at you the wrong way- you come get me, and i'll set them straight. understand?"
โ "i'm not jealous. i just know the intentions that someone like that has for you, even if you claim not to see them yourself."
โ "stay behind me, no matter what."
โ "i know you can't believe it yet, but i promise you can trust me. whenever you're ready to rely on me, i'll be here for you. i swear it."
โ "i like seeing you this way. soโฆ at ease. makes me wonder how anyone could ever purposely put you under stress and live with themselves afterwards."
โ "shut up and just let me take care of you!"
โ "this isn't up for discussion. i know you're used to looking out for yourself, but i need you to understand that you don't have to live like that anymore. i'm here. for as long as i'm around, i'm going to come between you and anything that wants to hurt you."
โ "no one's ever going to hurt you again. i promise you that on everything i believe in."
cuddling for warmth prompts หหห๊ฐ ๐ ๊ฑ
โ "look, i'm not happy about this either but we need to get you warmed up."
โ "you're shaking, why are you shaking?! what's wrong? what can i do?"
โ "i can't believe it took this for you to admit you like to be the little spoon."
โ "it's okay, you're okay, just breathe. i've got you now, you're safe."
โ "are you- are you seriously playing with my hair? now?!"
โ "this might be a weird time to bring it up, but you've got really nice arms."
โ "is there anything i can say to make this less awkward?"
โ "i'm not arguing about this. just shut up and come here."
โ "you're already wearing half of my clothes, i genuinely don't see how us cuddling will make this any weirder."
โ "can't believe it took a near-death experience for you to let me hug you."
โ "you fell asleep. it would've been cute, if i hadn't been so paranoid you were actually unconscious."
โ "don't worry, i promise not to tell anyone you're a big spoon."
โ "when did you start rubbing my back? wait, wait- i never said to stop it."
โ "i've never been so thankful that you run hot before."
โ "please forget all the times where i complained about you being a hugger."

2024-10-25 01:40:19 +0000 UTC"don't worry, i promise not to tell anyone you're a big spoon." for Alessa please and: "no one gets to treat you like that, you hear me? no one." For Vallen

2024-10-24 22:49:37 +0000 UTCLance: "this might be a weird time to bring it up, but you've got really nice arms." He wears a sleeveless vest right?
Brianna S
2024-10-24 18:28:16 +0000 UTCVallen: "i'm not arguing about this. just shut up and come here." A corrupted Romanus being so demanding of his woman will Vallen blush and giggle. Rafael: "shut up and just let me take care of you!" I donโt even have to explain this.
Brianna S
2024-10-24 18:21:39 +0000 UTCI like "Anyone touches you, says anything to you, so much as looks at you the wrong way- you come get me, and Iโll set them straight. understand?" and "This place is dicey at the best of times. just take my hand until we're clear of it, yeah?" for The Pirate, both seem like equal levels of bossy and sweet which feels up his ally. For Hadrian I really like "I know you can't believe it yet, but I promise you can trust me. whenever you're ready to rely on me, I'll be here for you. I swear it," and "No one's ever going to hurt you again. I promise you that on everything I believe in." Both feel sweet, devoted, and protective which I associate with Hadrian.

2024-10-24 18:20:08 +0000 UTCYsabella: "anyone touches you, says anything to you, so much as looksย at you the wrong way- you come get me, and i'll set them straight. understand?" I imagine sheโs with Romanus at some shady tavern or alley. A place where a delicate beauty like her isnโt meant for. Alain: "i can't believe it took this for you to admit you like to be the little spoon."
Brianna S
2024-10-24 18:14:38 +0000 UTC"i've never been so thankful that you run hot before." For Hadrian, my big boy, grizzly Alessa: "when did you start rubbing my back? wait, wait- i never said to stop it."
Brianna S
2024-10-24 18:09:06 +0000 UTC"this isn't up for discussion. i know you're used to looking out for yourself, but i need you to understand that you don't have to live like that anymore. i'm here. for as long as i'm around, i'm going to come between you and anything that wants to hurt you.โ A good prompt for Neia. Pirate King: "i can't believe it took this for you to admit you like to be the little spoon."

2024-10-24 18:07:12 +0000 UTC"i like seeing you this way. soโฆ at ease. makes me wonder how anyone could ever purposely put you under stress and live with themselves afterwards." with Rafael could be cute, i need to coddle him unrelated, but is Lance getting an intimate alphabet post as well?

2024-10-24 16:08:39 +0000 UTCOk, my mind went directly to the dynamic between Alessa and my sarcastic as shit Romanus and these two were ideal. Nr. 1 Sometime before they kiss but when the tension is there definitely. For example at the market while buying the puddings, the baker flirts with Romanus. Alessa overhears and the prompt logically is: โi'm not jealous. i just know the intentions that someone like that has for you, even if you claim not to see them yourselfโ And the second is shortly after the relationship upgrade when they are in a meeting with an important person, she feels something. And asks "are you- are you seriously playing with my hair? now?!"

2024-10-24 13:47:42 +0000 UTCFor the "shut up..." and "this isn't up for discussion..." I think I'd be nice to have mc say it to the Pirate

2024-10-24 10:01:56 +0000 UTCHmm, I like either of these for the Pirate: โ "i like seeing you this way. soโฆ at ease. makes me wonder how anyone could ever purposely put you under stress and live with themselves afterwards." โ "shut up and just let me take care of you!" โ "this isn't up for discussion. i know you're used to looking out for yourself, but i need you to understand that you don't have to live like that anymore. i'm here. for as long as i'm around, i'm going to come between you and anything that wants to hurt you." And I think these fit Neia well: โ "please forget all the times where i complained about you being a hugger." โ "can't believe it took a near-death experience for you to let me hug you." And this one fits perfectly for Rafael imo: โ "you're shaking, why are you shaking?! what's wrong? what can i do?"

2024-10-24 09:56:58 +0000 UTCI think the "I don't like it either, but we have to do this for warmth" suits Raf pretty well

2024-10-24 05:16:38 +0000 UTCI chose my favourite prompt for each character from both lists: Alessa: "no one gets to treat you like that, you hear me? no one." "i'm not arguing about this. just shut up and come here." Hadrian: "no one's ever going to hurt you again. i promise you that on everything i believe in." "this might be a weird time to bring it up, but you've got really nice arms." (My Romanus is a little bit obsessed with Hadrian's arms) Alain: "anyone touches you, says anything to you, so much as looksย at you the wrong way- you come get me, and i'll set them straight. understand?" "you're shaking, why are you shaking?! what's wrong? what can i do?" Ysabella: "this place is dicey at the best of times. just take my hand until we're clear of it, yeah?" "it's okay, you're okay, just breathe. i've got you now, you're safe." Neia: "either go to bed and get some rest willingly, or i will drag your ass down the hall kicking and screaming. you know i'll have no problem with either option." "you're already wearing half of my clothes, i genuinely don't see how us cuddling will make this any weirder." Pirate King: "you should've told me this was going on. i would've put a stop to it the secondย i heard about it." "are you- are you seriously playing with my hair? now?!" (I really like the Pirate King's hair) Raphael: "shut up and just let me take care of you!" "i can't believe it took this for you to admit you like to be the little spoon." Or "when did you start rubbing my back? wait, wait- i never said to stop it." Lance: "i'm not jealous. i just know the intentions that someone like that has for you, even if you claim not to see them yourself." "you fell asleep. it would've been cute, if i hadn't been so paranoid you were actually unconscious." Vallen: "i like seeing you this way. soโฆ at ease. makes me wonder how anyone could ever purposely put you under stress and live with themselves afterwards." "can't believe it took a near-death experience for you to let me hug you."

2024-10-24 03:21:36 +0000 UTCAll Hadrian please (no Iโm not obsessed) "this place is dicey at the best of times. just take my hand until we're clear of it, yeah?" "i'm not jealous. i just know the intentions that someone like that has for you, even if you claim not to see them yourself." "i know you can't believe it yet, but i promise you can trust me. whenever you're ready to rely on me, i'll be here for you. i swear it." "this isn't up for discussion. i know you're used to looking out for yourself, but i need you to understand that you don't have to live like that anymore. i'm here. for as long as im around, i'm going to come between you and anything that wants to hurt you." "no one's ever going to hurt you again. i promise you that on everything i believe in." "it's okay, you're okay, just breathe. ive got you now, you're safe."

2024-10-23 23:26:35 +0000 UTCthis isn't up for discussion. i know you're used to looking out for yourself for Hadrian you should've told me this was going on. i would've put a stop to it the second i heard about it for Rafael can't believe it took a near-death experience for you to let me hug you for Neia it's okay, you're okay, just breathe. i've got you now, you're safe for lance There are so many very good options here omg

2024-10-23 23:04:27 +0000 UTC"i can stay the night, y'know. if it'd make you feel better." For Hadrian "shut up and just let me take care of you!" For... Romanus? To Alessa? I am not sure. A LI that struggles to accept help and care when they need it "i'm not jealous. i just know the intentions that someone like that has for you, even if you claim not to see them yourself." For Alain
chi
2024-10-23 23:03:05 +0000 UTC"This place is dicey at the best of times. Just take my hand until we're clear of it." And "Stay behind me, no matter what." For a stoic Romanus being protective of Ysabella, much to her elation / overly protective of Alessa, much to her exasperation!
HeraldOfEras
2024-10-23 22:54:04 +0000 UTCI also feel like โ"you're already wearing half of my clothes, i genuinely don't see how us cuddling will make this any weirder." With Rafael could be cute and a lil silly

2024-10-23 22:28:42 +0000 UTCย Oh fun, it'll be interesting to see what you end up picking for who. ๐ These are who came to mind with these prompts for me:ย "i know you can't believe it yet, but i promise you can trust me. whenever you're ready to rely on me, i'll be here for you. i swear it." Ysabella or Vallen "shut up and just let me take care of you!"- Neia "this isn't up for discussion. i know you're used to looking out for yourself, but i need you to understand that you don't have to live like that anymore. i'm here. for as long as i'm around, i'm going to come between you and anything that wants to hurt you."- Hadrian ย "you're shaking, why are you shaking?! what's wrong? what can i do?"- Ysabella "are you- are you seriously playing with my hair? now?!" - Lance ย "can't believe it took a near-death experience for you to let me hug you."- Vallen "please forget all the times where i complained about you being a hugger."- Alain "when did you start rubbing my back? wait, wait- i never said to stop it."- Rafaelย

2024-10-23 22:16:49 +0000 UTC"this place is dicey at the best of times. just take my hand until we're clear of it, yeah?" Could work with any of them, but it makes my heart melt thinking about Raf lol and "is there anything i can say to make this less awkward?", again could work with most of the RO's but imagining our silver tongued Bard being this at a loss is incredibly entertaining haha

2024-10-23 21:29:26 +0000 UTCaughh these are all so good. im partial to "try and get some sleep. i'll stay right here- i won't let anything happen to you, i swear" with alessa. because it could be her talking to romanus OR the other way around. and alessa trusting someone to protect her in her sleep... i think that's a bigger show of love than any kiss
