😊 Sit down next to my muse | Joji to Julia- possibly on land somewhere?

“Well hello there, handsome,” There was little hesitation in her greeting – to encounter a man so impressively tall and regal in feature was uncommon enough to warrant it, though her attention immediately flicked to the katana at his hip once she registered him as a man of the Orient. She’d never seen one so tall, and wondered briefly if she’d encountered one of their gods.

Surely she hadn’t angered any – she was always respectful in those waters, knowing how many spirits they harbored.

“You’re not here to cause me any trouble, are you darling? With so few beautiful men in this world, it would be a shame to have to fight one when I could be buying him a drink instead.”

‘there’s a strange kind of ambiance – it’s surrounding you.’ | TF’s Cutler to Theodore

{ Within Temptation’s Enter Starters }

“And is that – a good thing or a bad thing, by your estimation?” Perhaps it was a bold inquiry – if the look on the guard’s face was any indication, at least. Theodore saw no reason to restrain his curiosity simply because Lord Beckett was his superior and employer – a question was not a crime, and no man was so unreasonable as to make a remark like that and not anticipate some form of response! Besides – he was curious as to what the man meant by it, but more importantly, about whether or not it was an assessment worth remembering.

🤙 Bump into my muse | Joji to witch!Horatio?

{ Nonverbal Starters }

He shifts aside without much thought, gaze flicking down to mind the man’s hands – all to familiar with how thrifty the locals in this region can be. There is no need to make a scene about the situation as far as he is concerned – and indeed, were it a man of less distinction Horatio might not have said anything at all.

As it was, he did step back a bit so that he would not need to crane his neck too much to meet the man’s eyes, curiosity driving him. He recognized the blade well before he caught sight of the owner, and a small incline of his head showed his respect for the bearer despite not being the cause of the collision.

Of the Brethren, Mistress Ching was perhaps his favored – not that Tia Dalma was particularly fond of any of them. Regardless, he knew enough to show he had no desire for a fight, and that would simply have to do.

‘ i thought i was going to change the world. ’ | TF’s Cutler to Jane

{ House of Broken Angels }

“Do you think so little of the world, that it needs changing?” The question was genuine as she swept over to him, gathering his hands in hers to keep his thoughts anchored on her rather than on his war, and its costs. “Our actions now will not change any of what came before. Those pains – those frustrations – will not be cured no matter what we shape the world into because of them. They will always be part of us.”

Her hands tightened in his, reassuring and firm all at once. “The world has so much in it that is wonderful. So much that is truly beyond imagining – what does it matter how we attained the ability to chase it? We have between us the power to go anywhere – to do anything – why would we need to change anything, when we’ve already obtained everything? Oh Cutler – can’t you see? We have what we wanted! We’re free of them – our lives are our own – what is the world, in comparison to that?”

❌❌❌❌❌ Charles!

{ Sunday Kinkuisition }

Due to the fact I have covered a lot of this already in other headcanon requests cause ya’ll straight up have a favorite in this house, I am going to short form this real fast.

Confident partners. IDK if that counts as a kink but listen he has no interest in simpering or weakness in his life and that damn well includes in the bedroom.
Taking his time. He doesn’t get the opportunity to due this very often? For the most part its a very grab and go situation, especially with people who are straight up using sex as a manipulative measure. Letting the man actually fucking enjoy himself rather than immediately perform on your time goes a long way.
Slightly exhibitionist. Like very slightly and not really deliberately – he just really likes having sex where he can see the stars, which usually means more or less in the open and thus risking the chance of being seen, which doesn’t bother him in the slightest, so there is that.
Cleanliness. Is this a kink or a preference, who knows anymore? That said, baths and swimming being involved at any point is generally a win here.
Aftercare. Honestly he prefers partners who stay for the cuddles afterward. He’ll never fucking admit it, but that shit’s 90% of the reason he fucks in the first place, so….

‘there’s a curse between us.’ | CUTLER TO JACK WOW

{ Heart Of Everything Starters }

“And who is accountable for that, I wonder?” Jack’s tone held nothing more than incredulous contempt for this. “We had a good thing, you and I – that it has amounted to this hardly rests on my shoulders, mate.”

Tossing the soaking man a towel, Jack considered his options here. There wasn’t a single party on this ship who was particularly friendly with their impromptu passenger – Jack included. While he wasn’t particularly keen on protecting the man, letting the crew at him was the sort of villainy that went beyond the pale by his estimation. The brig might serve, though that didn’t sit quite well either.

“You’ll not be leaving the cabin then,” He was thinking out loud, mostly. “Less you want to be facing the demons you’ve made – in which case,” He made a shooing motion with his hands, as if to say, off you go then, have fun. Straightening, his tone fell stern, “I find anything out of place, I’ll have you clean the bilges, you hear?” Heavens knew that would please the crew just fine, after all. He’d rather play out of sight, out of mind until they made port though, if he could manage it.

❌❌ Derek!

{ Sunday Kinkuisition }

Since “I don’t know” is not an answer I can accept, I instead chose to offer the reasons why I don’t know.

Derek hasn’t really had much opportunity to explore this aspect of life. He’s been on a ship from the day he was born, and the men on the Illinois were family in every sense of the word – they raised him and are the ones who shaped him into the man he has become.

What little he gleaned from Buford he doesn’t like to reflect too deeply upon for obvious reasons, but it has instilled a quiet repulsion in him for most activities in this regard when they involve other men – and most especially when the other man in question has any kind of power over him.

There have been a few periods in which the crew entertained ladies aboard the ships during peacetime, that he got some action in – but here it was rather rushed and a bit confusing. There wasn’t a lot of time to explore, or really figure out what he liked and what he didn’t. While he classes these experiences as completely pleasurable, he doesn’t really remember the finer details of them to provide much insight.

👐 – hugging them | TF’s Cutler to Jane ( cause lbr if she showed up he’d throw everything to the wind- including propriety )

{ Nonverbal Starters }

The moment she saw him, Jane knew the world had reset itself for both of them in the most wonderful of ways. It was all that she could do to contain herself – but as her brother embraced her, she let the restraint fall away and wrapped him up as close as she could manage. Tears burned her eyes, and she let them fall in the silence of their reunion, deafening in its significance.

She did not need to say that she had missed him – the tremble in her arms, the way she clasped at his thin shoulders tight enough to tell that he was no more able to hold weight now than he had when they were young – the steady stream of joyful tears all spoke loudly enough.

Yet Jane knew their voices had been clutched too tightly for too long, choking them under the weight of expectation and later, the bitter determination to exceed and excel. So she let herself speak clearly, when emotion threatened to cripple her down into a whisper, for both of their sakes and strength.

“Not a day has gone by that I have not wished you were by my side Cutler – everything has been so dull without you to share it with!” She gave him a squish then, before leaning back to look at him – the truly take him in. “Look at you,” She breathed, unable to keep the smile from breaking over her features, “You’re still making me work to be the pretty one – I see you have no pity upon me at all!”

❌❌❌ 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.
