Ship Prompts

Leave a blank top level with your character's info and your prefs in the subject line. Or write something in the top level, I can't stop you, I'm not even your real dad.
Other people will leave a prompt (a quote, pic/gif, lyric, link, smoke signal, whatever) because they want to play some shippy shit with your character.
You tailor your reply based on their prompts.
It's a prompt meme, do I have to explain more?
Thread and be merry.

To link p. much anything:

To directly embed an image into your comment (don't be a dick and embed nsfw or gory pictures, for real tho):

To unleash your full prententious potential and make your quotes/lyrics ~a e s t h e t i c~:

[ Yes... Karna is actually a little stressed by a deadline. If this was anything like battle, fetching anything, procuring meals, or going grocery shopping it would be Easy.

But no. It had to be some journey of self. ]

It can be, though they hoped for it to be companionship. [ ... ] It's boring... Being with me. It's much to ask for.

[ He learned to be specific after a while. ]

Perhaps I could start a "food blog"? I've surveyed several dishes in each Singularity we've been to so I can recommend them to our Master. I can share my findings and experiences with others.

[If everything in life was a fetch quest, things wouldn't have to be so hard for them, it's true.

But ah, was Karna always so self-deprecating? This isn't like Tristan's eternal slump, is it?]

That's a splendid idea, Karna. I'm certain our Master will appreciate your efforts.

[He chuckles. Honestly, he didn't think Karna would be the type...]

But I do hope you don't fret about the Master too much. They only want the best for you. Personally, I think you're doing well. In the time I've known you, you have been an insightful and pleasant companion. Many men speak of sopshtry, but I know that each word you speak carries your heart.

[ Karna has always seen his worth as 0, sorry. While Gawain seems to think it’s a good idea, he isn’t convinced. Generally, he’s determined to fulfill his duties and though he pressed how this one is actually impossible their Master is a gremlin that can’t be swayed.

Even when he’s showered by compliments, if they’re not about his skill on the battlefield, it’s just hard to believe. He opens his mouth to say how he doesn’t deserve Gawain’s kindness, but rethinks his words. ]

Thank you.

[ He learned a gesture, encouraged to use it even, so he gives Gawain a feather light kiss on the cheek. ]

[ Gawain's nice. Maybe too nice. He must be courteous, of course. He must be patient, of course. These are the virtues of a knight. And they come so naturally that others may find him two-faced at worst, bland at best. But it's not as if he lies. He just doesn't expect others to be twice as kind.

Or as honest.

Karna's lips touch Gawain's cheek and the knight stills. ]

You're welcome.

[ ... Perhaps he lingers a little too long. ]

I'm—sorry. I'm at a loss for words yet again. Funny how that's only happened now...

[ He’s observing your body language, Gawain... And it screams school girl if he knew what that archetype is. It’s endearing and forces a soft chuckle that he attempts to stifle behind a hand. ]

I didn’t think a knight of your caliber would be so innocent.

[ That could have been worded better. ]

[ Gawain clears his throat beacuse, uh? Don't laugh, Karna? That's rude.

...

Karna laughed? ]

On the contrary, a knight must be rich in knowledge as he is in skill. I don't intend to neglect my duties but... it appears that I am lacking in proper conduct.

Would you like to teach me?

That's not true.

[ Gawain seems like a good person? A great knight? Smart, handsome, loyal, diligent—like a dog. ]

I cannot possibly teach you, but... Consider this an act of adoration and praise.

[ Karna places a hand on nape of his neck, gently pulling guiding him closer so he can plant little pecks to the side of his fluffy head, then to his temple, the arch of his brow, and so on. It's slow, but it's nevertheless smothering. ]

[Gawain is used to smothering people with affection, but when the tables are turned, he's caught off guard. Perhaps if he paid closer attention to his lessons from the past, the surprises would be far and few, and Karna has done nothing but surprise him.

He presses his forehead to Karna's, keeping him away from his flushed cheeks. Stay.]

Where did you learn such a thing?

[ Hm. It's still surreal to see a Knight of the Round like this, but it would be rude not to answer him. Karna stays put like a good boy, as if the press of their foreheads makes him heel. ]

Master taught me that it's a sign of fondness.

[ He leans back before planting another peck on the bridge of his nose. ]

That color is very becoming of you. Where I come from, red stands for purity. It's also the preferred color of a bride's garments.

[ Gawain places a hand over Karna's lips after that kiss to give himself some reprieve. Please... He'll give the knight a heart attack.

What he says is suspect, though. His smile is just a little cheekier now. ]

Are you suggesting I become your bride, Child of the Sun?

... No, of course not.

[ That wasn't his intention—he hopes he hasn't offended the knight in the slightest. The light touch is met with surprise, but he gently takes Gawain's hand with his gloved fingers. ]

A great man such as yourself can be nothing but a groom.

[ He gives that hand a reassuring squeeze, too. ]
