⚖ – SCALES – how well they balance their good and bad impulses [ for hamilton! ]

{ Monstrous Headcanons } 

Resisting temptation has never been one of Thomas’ virtues. When he has an impulse to do something – regardless of whether it happens to be “good” or “bad” chances are he will simply do it or find a means in which to do it that will not rouse suspicion or controversy as a result. Once he gets an idea in his head, he is like a dog with a bone and won’t stop gnawing at it until he gets what he wants from it – so while he may control himself in the moment of the impulse itself, chances are mighty that he will revisit the idea at a later time. 

“Why didn’t you tell me?” @thomas

{ Vaguely Concerning }

The soft, disappointed click of his tongue was at first his only answer as he concluded his sentence. The silence was broken only by the scratch of his quill after that, before at last he docked it and looked over at his wife fondly. In their years as friends and as a married couple, she had come to know him intimately well – predicting his movements as surely as he manipulated the actions of others with his words and experiments. 

She held a certain immunity to his games, though there were times when he felt it necessary to test her – not so much because he felt anything had changed, but because keeping her at her very best was invaluable. James was still in his training phases – enough so that she had heard Thomas deliver the same quiet note of disapproval more in the past few months than had been necessary in years. Between them, it was more of an internal joke than it was a signal – but the connotations it carried were heavy enough to bear the pause he needed. 

“My dear, if I informed you of everything, I fear you may lose the pleasure of experiencing anything resembling surprise in this life of ours.” Amusement pulled at the corners of his lips as he rose to his feet and went to meet her, smiling even as he reached out for her hands – placating as he was stern in his assertion, “It does me no good to be entirely predictable to anyone, least of all you.” 

‘it seems she lost her way.’ [ @ abigail, perhaps talking about one of her stories ;v; ]

{ Elixir For Existence }

The observation draws Abigail into a momentary reverie, recalling for herself the demons exorcised into the book he had chosen to discuss. There was no denying that

Jeanne was a troubled woman – her methods of dealing with the demons that haunted her were violent and angry, the sort of things that people attributed more to pirates than to gentile women. 

“She finds her path,” Abigail’s assurance is quiet, thoughtful. “It is perhaps not the right one – but then, even good people can make terrible choices. What defines them is not the fact that they got lost but rather – I think – what they do once they realize they have allowed themselves to get tangled in the dark. That is the mark of what makes a person good or bad – we are all capable of great acts in either direction, but the moment we choose deliberately to take a side – that is the moment that truly shapes us.” 

❌❌❌ [ for abigail! ]

{ Sunday Kinkuisition }

  • Body worship. Though she wouldn’t register it as such, Abigail is an exceptionally attentive partner and has a habit of committing every touch to memory. She has an inquisitive mind, and exploring her partner’s form is something that comes naturally to her as loving them does – to know the ways to best bring them pleasure is of course an objective somewhere in her mind, but at the core of it all the anchoring sensation of touch is what she craves the most, and for that reason she will spend hours simply mapping her lover with her hands and lips if they will indulge her. 
  • Dominance/Submission – though she doesn’t know it at this juncture, there is something empowering about having a certain measure of control in the bedroom – admittedly from either partner, be it her own command or the direction of her lover. Abigail finds there is as much strength in submission as there is in control, which makes her quite versatile when it comes to such elements. 

  • Emotional Acceptance. Abigail is motivated first and foremost by her heart – to be able to laugh or cry and know that either action is a safe one – that there is love enough in the room to overcome an awkward or silly moment, to clasp on to when the storms inside cloud over the pleasure for a time – is probably one of the most important things in the world for Abigail. 

❌❌❌ Horatio!

{ Sunday Kinkuisition }

  • Submission – Horatio enjoys being made to give up his control, to be placed in a position where he must focus on sensation. Limiting his movements by tying him up in any way can be shockingly rousing, and blindfolds have a particular way of unmaking him.

  • Being either naked while his partner is still mostly clothed – or alternatively, wearing only something meant to entice his partner, or something of theirs – during such activities is something he takes considerable thrill from. 

  • Praise.

❌❌ Thomas Hamilton!

{ Sunday Kinkuisition }

And more today on Thomas Hamilton and his chaotic gay energies:

  • Teaching ( Arguably: Corrupting ) Thomas genuinely loves showing his lovers new things and guiding them through the process, and learning together what is enjoyable and what is not. He quite thoroughly adores first time partners, both because he has so much to learn about how to please them to the point of leaving them utterly boneless in his bed, but because he gets a genuine thrill out of seeing the world and its trappings strip themselves away from others, leaving behind someone raw, vulnerable and eager. Seeing the shift from one who follows every rule, to one who craves intimacy and embraces the carnal inside of themselves is truly and inescapably beautiful to him. 

  • Swallowing – I don’t think I need to go into detail on that one, but I will mention he loves doing so while maintaining eye contact.

❌❌❌ [ for thomas of the hamilton variety ]

{ Sunday Kinkuisition }

Thomas is an adventurous person – particularly when it comes to bedroom affairs – and is generally looking for means of increasing pleasure for himself and his partner(s) that can go beyond what many would consider the norm. He finds inspiration from many sources, including those partners themselves – and among the things he has tried, some of his favorite things include:

  • Titles as endearments in sexual scenarios ( lord / lieutenant ) 
  • Dominance – controlling his partner’s movements, eliminating their sight in order to focus their attentions to their bodies and the thrill of simply not knowing, limiting his partner’s ability to climax, marking and verbal commands. The only thing he will not lay limit on is his partner’s ability to communicate or breathe. 

  • Mirrors. As much for his own vanity as a desire to have his partner see themselves, and the overall lewdness of the actions they partake in together – as well as the beauty. 

❌❌❌ Silver?

Silver’s sexual deviancies are as much a mystery to him as they are to me outside of the nature of his sexuality, so this will instead cover things he does not enjoy simply because he only has one basis for comparison. With only one sexual encounter to go off you’d think he wouldn’t really know much – but when that one encounter consists of five whores – boy, talk about your crash course education. 

  • Not a big fan of more than three people at any given time. When it was himself and two of the girls, he was able to keep an eye on what was happening and participate accordingly – additional parties made this increasingly difficult, and caused him to feel less like he was involved in something and more like he was being used for something.

    He was overwhelmed and considered it to be far too many things to keep track of – even without the additional factors in play of making sure he wasn’t robbed or attacked, and his heightened paranoia at the time, he understood well enough that he was not a big fan of a party of four or more. 

  • Not an enormous fan of breasts – mainly because he has no idea what he is supposed to be doing with them, and while he is easy to direct in stimulating them they don’t really do anything for him. Being pressed face first into a bosom honestly just makes him wonder if he is being smothered – he literally has that high a level of interest in that portion of the female anatomy. 

  • Not interested in anything that restricts his movement. I honestly cannot say if this changes when trust is involved but based on everything I know about this boy I would hazard a guess that the answer is still no – especially as by the time he establishes that kind of trust with anyone, his mobility is already impacted heavily by his amputation, and that is something that is a point of concern for him until the day he dies.
