011 ♑ [eleventh honk/video]

Content Warning: Thread with Tavros got smutty I really can't believe I'm putting this right in the OP but the general public has a right to be warned.

[The feed clicks on, revealing an extremely wide, extremely frantic purple eye.]

[After a few seconds, the features surrounding said eye come into view, as the operator of the video backs up. And backs up a little more.]

[It's a gargantuan troll. Everything about him looks like it's been blown well out of reasonable proportion. His shoulders took up the width of the screen, and the way he hunched over couldn't have been anything but uncomfortable. His face was painted up like a monotone clown - all dark smudges against stark white. The design hadn't changed much in the sweeps he'd spent here. What was your face was your face, no matter how you felt about it. The paint was what he was born with, the design was a part of him - one thing in life that couldn't be done on a whim.]

[Most of that face, however, was obscured by the most absurd mane of hair imaginable. It exploded from his head in a mass of mats and twists and curls, getting in his eyes and mouth before running down his neck and past his shoulders. It was reminiscent of vines taking over a building - crawling up and threatening to engulf the two massive, spiraling horns that sprouted from his head.]

[For being as giant as he was, Gamzee had been lacking in the brute strength department - a solitary physical trait he failed to inherit from his ancestor. His limbs and neck were thick, but not as thick as they could or should be. His hands rivaled the size of dinner plates, but the fingers on them remained knuckles and spindle.]

[Now that both manic eyes were visible, as well as a decent amount of the rest of him, Gamzee's dark lips parted to speak, revealing terribly sharp and terribly disgusting fangs. Plucking a vial of dark purple liquid from his pants pocket, he held it up to the camera.]


All you magnanimous motherfuckers, please to be all popping the most righteous of motherfuckin' squats at the terminal and start bestowing on to your wicked brother all what's knowledge holy you up and got in those inferior thinkpans 'bout the matter what all is at being your mother fucking blood.

You're right. I'm not really into that kind of thing.

[ Tavros inhaled softly, curling his arms around Gamzee's broad shoulders, trying to go through the mess of hair without getting tangled in their web. It was a half-successful attempt, but he managed to get a proper embrace out of it.

Soon after, Tavros' legs joined the action, and he was basically clinging to his matesprit. Good news: Gamzee didn't need to support his weight anymore. Bad news: He looks ridiculous.

Who cares. ]


You are awfully irascible today ...

[ He adds nothing to it, as if he expected Gamzee to get the hint and confess to whatever he was planning to do. ]

[ He chuckled bitterly. He was right about that, but Tavros didn't care about his temper tantrums. He was worried about a lot of other things, the whole 'not being honest' is on the lead right now.

Perhaps when he was younger, he preferred the idea of ignoring things, but he is pretty fucking tired of this shit by now. The lack of communication is killing him.

But, what can he do about it? I mean- Gamzee is an adult now. He couldn't keep pushing him into things he is uncomfortable with. So, again, Tavros had no other choice but to back off. Drop the subject. Even when he knew there is something terribly wrong going on.

With a tired sigh, he pats on his back shoulders. You win this round, Makara. Enjoy it. ]


... Yeah. Well, we change when we grow up. That's how things go, right?

[ Tavros groaned a little upon getting their noses all squished against each other. He knew Gamzee is about to toss some charming words at him and get himself out of it clean. It annoyed Tavros because keeping himself from smiling was nearly impossible.

He bites the inside of his cheek, and he waits for a few seconds to collect himself before dealing with the highblood. ]


It's not a healthy way of handling things, Gamzee.

[ Yeah, he said he will drop the subject, but it didn't mean it's all forgotten. Still, It didn't stop Tavros from leaning in for a quick kiss, and out of habit- he brought his hand over to curl some of Gamzee's hair behind his ear. It was far more challenging as they grew older, but he enjoyed doing it regardless.

Except, his little act of affection exposed a few things. It appears to be some ... bruises around Gamzee's neck? Tavros raised an eye eyebrow, getting closer for a proper look. ]

[ And Tavros is going to push the hair out of the away again, a bit roughly, and keeps it there.

He looks at Gamzee straight in the eye. ]


What the fuck is this?

[personal profile] pushedaround 2013-01-19 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ Tavros takes a moment to- No, fuck this. He's not going to do the whole 'calm yourself before reacting bullshit'. Not this fucking time! Gamzee didn't deserve it.

First course of action, pull the fuck away. Which he did, wings fluttering rapidly, and if that wasn't a clear hint of his rage building up, maybe the tone of voice will do a better job. ]


Do you really think I'm that fucking stupid?!
pushedaround: (chat)

[Action.]

[personal profile] pushedaround 2013-01-19 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ That pretty much answered his question. Yes. He really did believe he was that stupid.

Also-

Babe.

Every inch in his body felt an unbelievable amount of disgust, and the temptations were far too high at this point. He swings his arm, and aims his fist right across Gamzee's face. It didn't even feel nearly as good as he thought it would be, and it just made him even more irritated. ]
pushedaround: (Your love is my scripture)

[Action.]

[personal profile] pushedaround 2013-01-19 10:39 am (UTC)(link)
SHUT THE FUCK UP !!!

[ Hey, he can yell just as loud. Maybe louder. ]

I'm so sick of your fucking lies. That's all you do, Gamzee! One lie after another. And now you're cheating on me? Fucking perfect!

[ He snarled, baring his fangs and hissing. ]

You sicken me.

[ All he could see is those marks on Gamzee's neck and the image of him getting intimate with someone else. It drove him mad, like a raging bull and all he wanted to do right now is crush some bones and get his claws dirty.

Breathe. Fucking breathe. Get angry, but don't lose it. He brings his hands up to his head, eyes firmly shut. ]


Fuck this. Fuck everything. Fuck for giving a shit about you!!
pushedaround: (Under their wing)

[personal profile] pushedaround 2013-01-19 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Wow, the word 'babe' is turning into a trigger button. Tavros groaned before waving a hand at Gamzee, not yet bothering to open his eyes and disturb his desperate attempt to regain some calm. ]

Gam, no. Just ... stop using that word. It's pissing me off right now.

[ Haha, everything is pissing him off right now! Even Gamzee's cool. Like, what the fuck, bro? When he actually wants you to go crazy and get all the fists flying between them, you decide to switch on the chill mode. Wait- that's a good thing! Why is he annoyed by it? Damnit, nothing makes any sense anymore.

Oh god, fuck his life, he really didn't want to talk to Gamzee right now.

In every single discussion, he had to take the lead, ask the questions, fight the highblood a little into speaking out. It was a long, tiring process and he had zero energy to persuade it. Okay, Tavros is just making up shitty excuses now. Grow up and deal with this situation already.

Finally, he turned to face Gamzee again. Regardless of the glare, he managed to speak without screaming his words. For now. ]


Don't fucking lie to me this time.

[ Tavros paid attention, even when a part of him seriously didn't want to hear any excuses- but that's not what he's getting. Gamzee was actually speaking up.

He makes a face, but he honestly didn't look surprised when Eridan came up. So, he allowed him to drink his blood, and it escalated from there. The hickeys proves it, and since Gamzee decided to pretend that they didn't exist- he knew his assumptions are probably accurate.

Tavros closed his eyes and he ran his fingers through his hair. He said nothing.

It hurts. It hurts more than he ever thought it would, but Tavros will never forgive himself if he fell apart in front of Gamzee. He had no other choice but to repress his emotions, suck it up and keep it together. He couldn't even explain what he is feeling right now, but one thing for sure- it was very warm and difficult to breathe. He refused to give in, though. He refused to feel this amount of grief for someone that went behind his back and-

Gamzee went behind his back and he ... He went to Eridan and they ...

Tavros cleared his throat and inhaled deeply. ]


... Why.

[ He didn't want to talk about it. It was as simple as that. He's not proud of it, but sometimes he just didn't feel strong enough to deal with certain situations, and this is one of them.

He felt angry, upset and betrayed and and .... the list goes on. The point is, he knew he was in no position to make any choices right now. He wanted to clear his mind, where he can actually sit down with himself and figure out what he needs to do about this. He tried punching Gamzee, that didn't work. Yelling didn't help either.

He knew talking might clear some issue, but he couldn't do it either. It was too painful. ]


I don't ... believe you.

[ He really really didn't want to say this, but it's how he felt right now. I guess after spending so many sweeps left in the shadows, it reached the point where it was truly challenging to know whether his matesprit is being honest or not. ]

You say you were helping a brother out, and you let him ... drink some of your blood. I get it, he's your bro. I don't have a problem with you doing that! Doing that only. But, the fact you were hiding it from me ...

... Do you honestly think that will make me believe that's the whole story? Trust me, I hope I'm wrong about this, It's just ...

I just don't know what to believe anymore. You always do shit behind my back, and I always wonder if I ... have done anything that made you feel I'm not worth the trust? And then it just comes to the painful reality that you will never fully accept who I am.

Because of my blood.

[ He shrugged. ]

I know you never said it, but I'm not stupid, bro. I know it bothers you. It bothers you a lot. And ... I don't know.
pushedaround: (Once upon a time we fell apart)

[personal profile] pushedaround 2013-01-20 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
... I know, Gamzee.

[ No yelling. His tone is surprisingly soft and understanding.

Regardless of everything, he knew the highblood wouldn't lie about this. He believed him when he said those words, and it brought some ease into the argument. But, that's not really solving anything. In fact, he is completely dodging the real issue here, which is Gamzee's typical approach in confrontations.

There is an awkward distance between them, but Tavros is now standing on the floor with his arms folded against his chest. His wings kept fluttering slowly as he tried to collect his words again. ]


I love you too. But, that's not the point here.

Don't ... avoid this. Don't fuck this up.

I need you not to fuck it up because I honestly don't know what to do right now! I don't know how I feel about this. I don't know if I can let it go and it scares me, okay?!

I don't want to feel this terrified, but I guess after spending all those sweeps with someone, you kinda get attached to them. That's how things go, right? You get all pathetic and stupid, and then you start to overlook things and give idiotic promises to yourself that everything will be better if you keep your mouth shut, and ... convince yourself that if you show enough support, stick around longer, maybe they will start feeling you more.

[ He paused for a bit, eyes on the ground. ]

So .. I will ask you, for the last time, Makara. I will trust and believe you this time because I know if you actually give a fuck about us, you'd be completely honest with me now.

... What really happened with Eridan?

[ One final time. ]

[ He felt so sick to his stomach. Just hearing all of this-- He couldn't stand it. It hurts so much.

He didn't know what to do with himself. He was feeling a lot of emotions in the same time and it was killing his focus. Still, Tavros is smart enough to acknowledge that he is not allowed to make any choices right now. Despite all the temptation to scream it out, he refrained from doing so.

He is emotional right now. Cool it down. Take a breather and think.

He looks at Gamzee again and he shrugged. He looked so horribly feverish at this point. ]


... Of course it meant nothing to you. That's why you felt the need to hide it from me and then lie about it, right?

[ He turned to his side, taking a few steps forward with his hand pressed against his abdomen. ]

He had his lips all over you, and you ... enjoyed it. You liked it. You didn't see anything wrong with it. You didn't feel guilty. At that moment, you cared about no one but your fucking self.

The only reason you're saying all of this and apologizing because you've been caught. That's the only thing you're sorry for.

... You don't care about anyone but yourself.

[ Honestly, in this point he was merely speaking out what he had in mind. The tone and the expression in his face, though- as if he just came to the realization of how fucked up Gamzee is. Tavros looked like he was on the edge of losing it, and he forced himself to settled on the bed.

With his hands on his knees, the lowblood took in a breath and cleared his throat. ]


I think ... you should leave now. Y-Yes. You need to leave. Right now.

I want to be alone.

[ Also, it would be nice if you hurry up? Yeah. You are not allowed to see him like this. ]
