something something alicia always hovering about when she wants to hang out with clea and verso but always kind of being self conscious about it something about significant age gaps between siblings and knowing they had a whole childhood before you were in the picture and wanting to be on the same level as them but it's never really the same but also the absolute thrill she gets when one of them notices and ushers her over and oh im sorry did u expect this to end angsty

He should know better than to say that specific phrase to her. Or maybe this was him attempting to know better, one of his little games at getting her out of her shell or-or spread her wings or whatever the metaphors he so loved using. Like he knew better because he was her father, but Alicia only sank further into herself, eyes narrowed down at the atelier's paint-stained floor. Away from his prying, hopeful gaze, away from that canvas mocking her with its blank slate. Alicia didn't know which one was worse. Worst of all, she felt the most frustrated with herself for being unable to obey such a simple command. ( But why should she listen? Especially at this clear sign of goading. It was like Papa was trying to get a rise out of her. And what would that accomplish? )

And so, she responded with a stubborn shake of her head, even as a million replies clawed at the base of her throat, yet the tiniest act of opening her mouth silenced them altogether. And then... foot lashed out, and her shoe collided with the side of a paint can, sending it rolling across the room. She didn't watch where it landed but instead whirled around and marched away from what she presumed was going to be another lecture.

Alicia only made it a step out the door before that creeping, ever constant feeling of being less-than bubbled up, and she paused a moment. It was agony, this idea of Renoir knowing her better than she ever could, when all she knew for sure was that she was screwing something up yet again. If she knew that, so would he, and that unleashed another torrent of anxiety over his possible disappointment. She wasn't Verso, who clearly held his affection, nor Clea whom he so often praised. And here she was, screwing up even the most basic of tasks.

Fumbling with her body, what she wanted to do, and then a word did form on her lips, a summary of her thoughts exactly. "Why?"

i love talking about post-verso ending maelle so much because of how much she pains me. like we know prolonged stays in canvases harm painters and with her already fragile body, coming back after it - even if it was not as long as her parents - must've been a certain kind of hell for her specifically, especially when you throw in everything she is feeling. and i do also think she has to be held back from immediately trying to reenter and forced to lay down instead, coughing and gasping and in tears-

REASONS TO CUP A FACE. ( A PROMPT LIST. )

with the help of some very talented and amazing friends, i present to you an unexpected, very spontaneous meme list based on the beautiful art of cupping someone's face! there's a mix of romantic and platonic here, and even a few that defy the boundaries of normal relationship dynamics! i hope you enjoy! as always; DO NOT ADD TO THIS LIST NOR CLAIM IT AS YOUR OWN!
  • [KISS]: sender cups the receivers face in their hands before drawing them closer for a kiss.
  • [CHECK]: after an unexpectedly violent situation, sender frantically rushes to check if the receiver is okay, cupping their face to look closer.
  • [CLEAN]: sender affectionately wipes a smudge of sauce from the corner of the receiver's mouth, cupping their face in the process.
  • [LIFT]: sender gently cups the receiver's face and lifts their chin so the receiver is looking up at them.
  • [COMFORT]: sender cups a distressed receiver's face in their hands and steadies them by resting their foreheads together.
  • [ATTENTION]: during an important conversation, the sender takes the receiver's face in their hands and firmly directs their focus on them.
  • [MAKE-UP]: while applying make-up on the receiver's face, the sender cups their face in order to keep them still.
  • [PRIDE]: after the receiver succeeds in a remarkable achievement, the sender cups their face and tilts their foreheads together to express how proud they are of them.
  • [WHISPER]: in order to have a private, hushed conversation with the receiver, the sender cups their face and draws them close to make sure they can be heard.
  • [HAIR]: in the process of pushing the receiver's hair back from their face, the sender lets their hand rest against the receiver's cheek a moment longer.
  • [GROUND]: during a moment of intense emotional stress, the sender gently takes the receiver's face in their hands to ground them until they're calmer again.
  • [WONDER]: unable to comprehend how incredible the receiver is, the sender decides to simply cup their face in their hands and marvel at them instead.
  • [LAST LOOK]: before going into a situation that may result in their death, the sender takes a moment to cup the unaware receiver's face in their hand, just to take a final look of admiration at them before they go.
  • [SACRIFICE]: the sender cups the receiver's face tenderly to distract them, right before shoving them out of the way (to safety) and facing an attack alone in order to buy the receiver enough time to escape.
  • [BELIEF]: in a moment where the receiver is lacking in self-confidence, the sender cups their face tenderly and professes their faith in the receiver's abilities.
  • [DISBELIEF]: after the receiver has done something completely unexpected (and reckless) the stunned sender cups their face in their hands while trying to get them to explain why the hell they did it.
  • [BETRAYAL]: trying to keep the receiver calm before the big reveal, the sender cups their face gently to keep them steady, and then reveals that they're the villain.
  • [WOUND]: after the receiver has been wounded, the sender tries to keep them calm and conscious by cupping their face in their hands and talking to them to keep them focused.
  • [INJURY]: after having been badly wounded themselves, the sender tries to reassure the frantic receiver by cupping their face and comforting them.
  • [RAMSAY]: after the receiver commits a culinary crime, the sender presses two slices of bread against either side of their face, cupping their face to hold the bread in place, and calls them an idiot sandwich.
