Spicy Dialogue Starters Pack
Slow Burn That’s About to Explode
"If you keep looking at me like that, I’m going to do something we’ll both regret."
"Say that again. Slower."
"You really like testing my patience, don’t you?"
"Back up. Closer. I want to see if you’ll actually do it."
"Do you realize how loud you were moaning my name last night?"
"You should probably stop touching me like that... unless you plan on finishing what you started."
"We’re not doing this here." – "Why not? Scared you’ll like it?"
"I dare you. No, seriously—I dare you."
"One bed. One night. You sure you can behave?"
"You think I won’t?" – "I know you will. That’s the problem."
Enemies to Lovers, but We’re Both Hot and Unhinged
"If I kiss you, it’s not because I like you. It’s because you won’t shut up."
"Do it. Touch me like you hate me."
"You’re infuriating." – "And you’re turned on."
"Careful. You’re starting to sound jealous."
"Admit it. You like it when we fight."
"You want me. You just don’t want to want me."
"If you’re going to stare, you might as well do something about it."
"Say it. Say you want me." – "Why? You’ll just use it against me."
"Keep talking like that and I’ll kiss you right here."
"Don’t tempt me." – "What if I want to?"
Post-Tension Intimacy (A.K.A. We Finally Snapped)
"You're shaking." – "So are you."
"This doesn’t mean anything." – "Then why are you holding me like that?"
"I’ve wanted this since the moment I met you."
"You're not getting any sleep tonight, just so you know."
"You're mine now. Say it."
"God, you feel so good." – "Yeah? Then shut up and keep going."
"You can hate me in the morning. Just… let me have this tonight."
"Is this what you wanted?" – "No. I wanted more."
"Don’t stop. Don’t you dare stop."
"I’m going to ruin you. And you’re going to thank me for it."
Teasing Touch, Dangerous Proximity
"You’re blushing." – "Shut up."
"That shirt’s doing you no favors. Take it off."
"If you wanted me to kiss you, you could’ve just said so."
"I like the way you say my name. Say it again."
"You’re standing really close." – "Yeah? You gonna move?"
"I can feel your heartbeat. Is that for me?"
"Your hands are shaking... here, let me help you."
"Careful. Someone might think you actually want me."
"You know exactly what you’re doing to me, don’t you?"
"We’re not supposed to do this." – "Since when has that ever stopped us?"
Voice Low, Words Barely Whispers
"Keep your voice down. Or don’t. Let them hear."
"Every time you talk, all I can think about is your mouth on mine."
"Say the word, and I’ll have you against that wall in five seconds."
"What do you think happens if I kiss you right now?"
"You smell like trouble." – "You taste like it."
"Look me in the eyes when you lie like that."
"One more step and I won’t be able to hold back."
"If you keep teasing me like that, I’m going to ruin you."
"Tell me to stop." – silence – "Didn’t think so."
"We’re alone now. You still pretending this is just tension?"
Hot-Headed, Argument-Laced, About to Snap
"Why do you always have to push my buttons?" – "Because I love watching you lose control."
"You think you’re in control here? That’s cute."
"You're not walking away from me. Not this time."
"God, you're impossible." – "You didn’t seem to mind last night."
"Say it louder. Maybe if you scream my name again, I’ll believe you."
"Keep pretending you don’t want me. I’ll keep proving you wrong."
"You're dangerous." – "Only if you ask nicely."
"Is this still an argument or are we just flirting with knives now?"
"Admit it. You love it when I get like this."
"Don’t act like you don’t want this too."

If anyone’s gonna appreciate my sudden obsession with Baby Girl Bucky Barnes it’s tumblr
Anyway please enjoy these drawings I’ve made
I love how community was always at the forefront of sinners
Smoke and that lil girl in the car, him trynna teach her in their small time together how to value your time and demand what you deserve
Even though Delta Slim and Sammie had that one lil spat in the beginning, Slim being so fierce in his protection of Sammie. Slim going out his way to teach Sammie the way, making sure he introduced himself. Setting him straight bout his music coming from somewhere good and not the devil like his father said. DYING for him
Bo always having the twins back and being reluctant to leave, the genuine glee he had at seeing Smoke. Grace thrown off by Stack not being with Smoke cause she knew em so well to know they should be together
Annie protecting not only Smoke but ALSO Stack when they weren’t together in her own ways.
Annie and Mary being Visible next to each other as much as possible. Mary literally screaming out in horror and snapping out of the hive mind at Annie’s death.
Stack being mad at Smoke bc it was supposed to be them against the world forever. Annie and Smoke, Mary and Stack, a family.
Annie saying “not you” when she realized it was Stack biting her because he ment so much to her, on the flip Stack spefically going after Annie so he could secure their immortal family.
That quite tense moment between Smoke and Mary after their lil argument bout Mary mother, the wordless conversation had as they both sat in silence.
The brothers putting their money where their mouth is and always giving the cash to patch up the ppl they fucked up.
“By us for us”
Cornbread face deeply sorry explaining why he couldn’t make it to Mary’s mother funeral cause he had to make quotas.
Everyone bucking up at the thought of Remmick taking Sammie, Smoke putting himself in front of everyone. And when he faltered at the sight of his literal other half in front of him turned, everyone being there to bring him back.
Even Remmick in his deeply twisted way just wanted back to his community, everyone else be damned (with him). His want to bring everyone together in his hell on earth. His yearning to find community in another person who was like him even if he no longer had those powers (I’m going off the bases that he was a his peoples version of a Griot, which I believe is a Fili)

Reminder: When using action tags that aren’t one word, always use periods instead of commas. Example:
