Designated Driver (Bob Floyd x Reader)

contains fluff, mentions of drinking, and Bob shooting his shot

The best thing about the Hard Deck was that Bob could walk there from his place. It gave him a few minutes to himself on the way there and on the way home to clear his head. He loved his friends, he really did, but they could be a handful when they had too much to drink. They liked to get a little rowdy, while he rarely drank alcohol at all. At least they never assumed he would drive them home, and they usually just called for an Uber instead while he walked back along the peaceful streets alone.

But the Hard Deck was closed for an extended refurbishment, and everyone insisted on trying a new bar on the other side of Coronado on Friday night. Bob knew what that meant. One look at his new SUV with the extra row of seats, and they would all be bugging him to drive them home. In fact, it started while he was still at work on Friday afternoon.

"Hey, Baby on Board," Jake called when Bob tried to sneak out of the locker room unnoticed. "You mind giving me a ride to and from the bar tonight?"

"Oh!" Javy chimed in. "Me too."

"I'm like two streets away from Javy," Bradley interjected. "Mind getting me on the way?"

Bob sighed but ultimately shook his head. "No, I don't mind. I'll pick you all up."

Three hours later, he was pulling away from the curb in front of Mickey's apartment with all of his friends in tow. Nat was in the front seat navigating for him while Reuben selected which song he wanted for the ten minute drive, and Bob was already looking forward to dropping them all back off and going home later.

The bar left a lot to be desired, especially compared to the Hard Deck, and he immediately felt out of place. He was about to go sit outside when Nat rubbed his arm and said, "Why don't you go grab that empty bar stool? Next to the cute girl?"

He turned to look where his friend was pointing, and a second later, his mouth was hanging open. "She's beautiful," he whispered, and soon his friend was guiding him in your direction where you were perched on a bar stool, reading a book.

"She looks exactly like your type," Nat mused. "She's drinking a bottle of Coke and reading a novel at a bar."

Bob was busy taking in every inch of your pretty face, and the closer he got, the faster his heart pounded. Without another word, Nat shoved him so he bumped into the empty stool next to yours, and you looked up in surprise.

"Sorry," he muttered as his friend vanished. "I didn't mean to startle you."

He was sure his face was bright red, flushed with embarrassment as you saved your spot with your bookmark and smiled at him. "It's okay."

Bob cleared his throat. "Would you mind if I sit here?"

Your smile grew as you shook your head. "Not at all. Maybe if my friends see me talking to you, they'll get off my back about being antisocial. It's not my fault I prefer books over playing darts."

As he slid into the seat next to yours, he said, "Books are way better than darts. I read that one last month."

"Really?" you asked with excitement as he pointed to the spine. "I love this author."

"Me too," he replied, still in awe over you. Then he decided he really had nothing to lose. "If I would have known the most beautiful woman at the bar was bringing a book with her tonight, I'd have brought one, too."

You made a cute little noise ducked your head away from him, and he hoped he hadn't embarrassed you too much. A few seconds later, you looked up at him with a grin and said, "Well, since you didn't, maybe we can just talk instead?"

"I would love that," Bob promised. "Will you let me buy you another drink?"

"Okay, but just a Coke. I'm the designated driver tonight, and I'm not much of a drinker anyway."

Bob laughed as he waved down the bartender and said, "Two Cokes for the designated drivers, please."

"You, too?" you asked him, your smile bright again.

When he nodded in response, he held out his right hand. "I'm Bob, by the way."

Your fingers glided along his, and you told him your name as you shook his hand. "It's nice to meet you, Bob. I must admit, the last thing I anticipated was meeting a man with good taste in books tonight."

He laughed softly as the bartender dropped off two cold bottles of Coke. "I would have never guessed that the coolest woman here would let me buy her a drink."

You looked very pleased with yourself, and a beat later, you held your hand out again. "Why don't you just go ahead and give me your phone so I can save my number for you?" Bob scrambled to pull it out of his pocket as you added, "Maybe next time we can ditch our friends and the bar and talk about books somewhere quieter?"

"Absolutely," he said with a smile as you saved the number he already couldn't wait to text later.

Happy birthday, Vonny! I hope you enjoyed the actual story of how my parents met lol

[familyvideostevie]

HI! Can you do a grumpy!reader x sunshine!sirius black one shot😫

absolutely. i am a grumpy!reader stan, let me tell you, because i am her. okay, here we have kind of grumpy!reader and sunshine!sirius going on their first date | 1.1k <3

You're not nervous. You're not.

It's not like it's a blind date, anyway. You know Sirius Black. Kinda. Lily's the one who set you up, coordinated it all and assured you he's keen to go on a date. You're pretty sure you've spoken to him a few times at parties, been at the pub at the same time. You know what he looks like, at least. Hair that never gets brushed, rings in his ears and nose, a smile that seems mischievous and genuinely carefree at the same time.

He's not as measured as Remus, a bit less puppy dog than James. If you'd been asked in a silly gossipy way which of the trio you'd pick, it would be him.

You just don't want to hope too hard.

Though it's taken a while, you are perfectly aware of and secure in your value and personality. You are "a fucking catch," as Marlene often says, and even if she and your other friends didn't assure you of it, you'd think so. You're prickly, sure. You're quiet in most situations, preferring to observe and go home when you've had enough. You don't laugh much, don't tell jokes. You stand at the edge of the group because that's where you prefer to be.

It's okay that you're not everyone's cup of tea. People have told you before that you should talk more, you should be more present, you should do more things. You're fine as you are and anyone who thinks otherwise isn't worth your time.

So the fact that Sirius is a few minutes late doesn't bother you that much. The bar isn't super crowded and you're sat a pretty comfortable stool snacking on the olives the bartender put out when you arrived. If he doesn't show you'll just get a drink and read the book in your bag and go home and call Lily and you know she'll lay into him.

But just as you consider it, there's a warm hand on your shoulder and you turn to find the man in question grinning at you sheepishly. His name rolls off your tongue.

"I'm so sorry," he says. "Had to take the bus and obviously it wasn't on time. Can I hug you hello?"

You appreciate him asking. Something about you tends to put people off of touch, though you don't usually mind it. "Hi, Sirius," you say, standing to give him a squeeze. He's warm and smells like tobacco and mint, like he popped one on his way over.

"Have you been here before?" He peels off his leather jacket and sits next to you, signaling for the bartender. "Do you want a drink?"

"Yes, and yes," you say. "The Sex on the Beach is quite good."

His eyebrows rise to his hairline and he grins. You keep your face neutral. "Not what I would have picked for you," he muses. "But I trust you." He asks the bartender for two.

"What would you have picked for me?" You pop an olive into your mouth.

Sirius thinks on it. "Stout pint," he says. "Or whiskey." His gaze very quickly travels the length of you as much as he can, sitting so close. "You look lovely, by the way."

That almost gets you to smile. "You do, too," you say instead. "Is that a new earring?" You reach for it without thinking but he doesn't flinch away. A gold star dangles from his right ear instead of the hoop you remember him having last time you saw him.

His grin gets impossibly bigger. How is that he can smile every second of every day? "So glad you noticed, love," he says. "It sure is. It's got a story, too. Something you might not know about me is --"

He talks and talks and talks. Your drinks come and he tells you the story and then another one and you find that you don't mind listening. It feels like Sirius is talking to you, not at you, even though it's clear he could charm a brick wall. He doesn't seem to mind that you only nod or make affirmative noises rather than chime in or laugh, answering his questions for you in just a few words. He just seems to want your attention, which he certainly has.

"And then James genuinely looked at me and said I thought they were the same thing."

The story is funny, sure, but Sirius's own laughter at his joke makes you smile. You feel it happen, feel the corners of your mouth lift and a chuckle make its way out of you.

"You have a pretty smile," Sirius says. He looks about two seconds away from poking it to see if it's real.

"Are you telling me to smile more?" you ask.

That seems to fluster him. You don't think you've seen him flustered before. He runs a hand through his unruly curls, ties them up into a half-up half-down bun thing with the hairband on his wrist. You wonder if his hair is soft.

"I, no," he stumbles. Who knew Sirius Black could stumble over his words? "I wouldn't. That's not something you say to a girl --"

You put a hand on his arm. His skin is warm, the ink that covers it smoother than you expected under your fingers. "I'm teasing, Sirius," you say.

His grin returns twice as strong. How can he flip between emotions so quickly? "You are? Oh, thank fuck."

His profanity makes your lips tug up. You take a sip of your drink and knock your knee with his.

"Hang on," he says. "If you're teasing me that means you must like me."

"What do you mean?" You genuinely want to know.

"Well," he says. "We don't really know each other, even though I've been trying to work up speaking to you at every one of Lily's parties this year, which is why she agreed to set us up, by the way, so I'd stop bothering her about it."

You want to interrupt because, what? but he keeps talking. His gaze is steady, eyes fixed on yours.

"But I get the impression that you don't let just anyone see how many sides you have."

Something in your chest is tight and warm. Is that your heart?

"Sides?" you mutter. "A cube, am I?"

He laughs. Loudly and genuinely. You don't fight the smile this time. Sirius puts his hand on your knee and leans in a little. "I'm not great with words, love," he says. "That's Remus."

"You're plenty great," you say bluntly. "And I guess you're right."

"Hmm?" He blinks a few times and you realize how long his lashes are, his eyeliner making his irises look impossibly big.

"I must like you."

Not a bad first date after all.

Summary: You always preferred producing underground, having an unknown face and governed by your own rules. But when you start freelancing for idol groups, you say goodbye to your lone wolf lifestyle as you learn to work with idol producers and lyricists.

Word count: 3.3K

"Ah." You fell back onto the plush bed. But the knocking on your door made it short lived. You went to open the door, not bothering to check the peephole, and was bombarded with a hug.

"Woo! You gave me a shock!" You yelped in shock as he nearly tackled you to the ground.

"I wanted to show you the surprise!" He grinned excitedly. You giggled and nodded, moving further into your room. Wooyoung closed the door behind him. Wooyoung pulled his beanie off, revealing his new hair.

"Wow, Woo... You look great!" You were in shcok at his new hair colour. The front of his hair and the underneath was blonde while the top layer at the back remained dark.

"Right? I know I look good." He smirked, running his fingers through his hair. You reached out to touch his oreo hair.

"Are you going to keep it like this?" You asked.

"I'm not sure if I should leave it like this or dye the whole head blonde." He shrugged.

"You should keep it like this. The fans would like it and the blonde fringe frames your face quite well." You complimented. Wooyoung laid himself over you, making you squirm.

"Don't fall for me or Mangi will get jealous." He teased, planting a big smooch on your cheek.

"I'll try not to." You chuckled. Wooyoung was definitely the most excited when he found out your room was next to his. The entire floor had been booked out for the group. You and Eden were on the same floor as the boys, which as secure and guarded by security to prevent fans from trespassing.

"We can have a sleep over tonight! We haven't had one in a long time." Wooyoung suggested excitedly.

"Sure. If you're not too tired from filming." You patted his head. In your mind, you knew that Wooyoung would have to beat Mingi in getting to your room first.

"Jung Wooyoung!" There was knocking on the door. You went to open the door for San to come in.

"Why are you bothering Indigo?" San clicked his tongue.

"I'm not~ Indigo wants me here." The male on your bed whined. San must have went to Wooyoung's room and found it empty. The only other place he would have been is your room.

"We have to go meet the directors." San slapped Wooyoung's thigh. You shook your head and went to set up the producing equipment that you brought along with you for the trip. You weren't going to stop your work entirely.

"Are you coming?" San asked.

"I don't think I'm expected there. Eden didn't mention anything." You scratched your head.

"You should come and sit in! You're here to experience this whole process. Don't be so eager to get back to producing, Indigo ah." Wooyoung scolded.

"I still have deadlines to meet, Woo." You sighed. Your conversation was interrupted by the beeping of your door.

"Baby, I- What are you two doing here?" Mingi blinked at the WooSan duo that were there.

"San came to pick Woo up for the meeting." You explained. You had momentarily forgotten that you had given one of your room access cards to Mingi when you were checking in downstairs.

"And I asked Indigo to come along but your workaholic girlfriend would rather sit here and do work." Wooyoung crossed his arms. You rolled your eyes at him while Mingi blushed at his team member outrightly calling you his girlfriend. He came over, leaning over your form and kissing the top of your head.

"She has deadlines for projects, Wooyoung." Mingi said when he caught a glimpse at what you were working on.

"That's exactly what she said." San laughed.

"But you should still take a break, baby. We had only just arrived." Mingi reasoned.

"You guys go for your meeting. Don't make Joong have to come find you guys. I'll see you tonight." You waved them off. Mingi nodded, not wanting to push you.

"Don't overwork, hmm?" He rubbed your shoulder. You nodded and lifted your head to kiss him properly.

"Aww. Me too!" Wooyoung hugged you and gave you a kiss on the cheek. Mingi frowned before stepping forward to shove him away.

"Bye, Indigo." San smiled and waved. You waved back, walking them to the door. Once you closed the door, you let out a long sigh and went back to the small desk.

You began doing your work. There were some back end projects that Eden needed you to assist with as well. But the first thing you needed to do was polish the b-side tracks for the upcoming album to send back to the other Edenary members.

'Why aren't you relaxing by the pool?! - Maddox'

'Tsk, stop working and rest. - Eden'

'Says you. Anyway I'm just finishing up some stuff so I have the next few days to really get some R&R. - Indigo'

'I've just sent out the polished b-side tracks to everyone. When you're done, please send them back to Eden for approval by the deadlines. I'm going to nap now. Bye, everyone! - Indigo'

Everyone wished you all the best as you shut your system off. After being in the plane for so long, you decided to take a shower first before laying in bed to nap.

'Going to nap now. Call me if you need me. - Baby'

'Alright. Sleep well, baby. I wish I was there to nap with you instead of being stuck in this meeting. I'll see you later &lt;3 - Mings'

With a smile on your face, you lowered the blinds and went to sleep. Halfway through your nap, you heard someone open the door and softly enter your room. But before you could force your brain to regain consciousness and see who the intruder is, the familiar scent of cologne hit you.

"Baby..." Mingi groaned softly and wrapped his arms around you as he settled behind you. He gently buried his face in the space between your shoulder blades.

"Mings?" You tried to turn around but his hold on you held you firmly in place.

"Sorry, baby... Go back to sleep..." He whispered. You relaxed in his hold, feeling his body pressed against yours.

And that's what you did. You didn't know what time it was until there was knocking on your door and the ringing of your doorbell. Mingi groaned but you got up first to answer.

"Hwa?" You croaked out, throat hoarse from the dry air.

"Sorry to wake you but the rest of us are going to head down for dinner. Will you and Mingi be joining us?" He asked.

"Oh. Mings' out like a light though..." You turned your head back in the direction of where Mingi was sleeping in your bed. Since he was sleeping, you didn't want to wake him.

"I'll pack you two some food if I don't see you?" Seonghwa raised an eyebrow. You nodded your head.

"Thanks, Hwa. Don't rush and enjoy your dinner." You smiled gratefully. He hummed, reaching out to pat your head before disappering down the hall, presumably where the others were. With that, you closed the door and headed back to bed.

"Who was that...?" Mingi murmured, hugging you again while you slipped under the covers. He was half asleep, only hearing faint whispers of your conversation.

"Seonghwa. He wanted to know if we're joining them for dinner. He'll pack us food if he doesn't see us down later." You explained.

"What do you want to do? Are you hungry?" He asked, a little more awake this time.

"I'm fine with anything. Do you want to sleep more?"

"I shouldn't since we have an early day tomorrow. I have to be able to sleep tonight." Mingi yawned and stretched his limbs. You reached over to turn on the bedside light, making the male wince.

"Oops, sorry." You giggled. Mingi chuckled, his voice so deep from sleep that it made your shiver.

"Let's get my baby some food." Mingi kissed your forehead and rolled out of bed. He came to your side and pulled you up to your feet.

"I need to wash my face and rinse my mouth first. And you should comb your hair." You laughed and headed to the bathroom. You washed your face and rinsed your mouth while Mingi wet his fingers and ran them through his messy hair. Mingi waited for you to get dressed, which was you pulling a hoodie over your head.

"Here." Mingi grabbed a new mask and gently looped the elastic bangs over your ears. You had momentarily forgotten about your mask, nearly stepping out with Mingi without one.

"Wait, I won't be able to kiss you out there so..." He backed you up against the door.

"You're exaggerating." You rolled your eyes.

"Whatever." He leaned down and pressed his lips against yours. Once he got his kiss, he opened the door and stepped out, walking away so you wouldn't be seen together.

"Good evening." You bowed your head to the guards that were guarding the floor. They nodded their heads in acknowledgement.

When you arrived at the cornered off area of the restaurant downstairs, you saw Mingi already sitting down in his usual seat beside Yunho, chatting away.

"You made it!" Yeosang smiled.

"I hope you guys didn't wait for me to start eating." You chuckled and sat down beside Hongjoong. Hongjoong smiled softly and stroking your head. You looked around the rest of the restaurant, thinking if you should remove your mask to eat or eat upstairs.

"I'll give your order to our manager. None of the wait staff are allowed in this area for privacy sake and the restaurant is quite dim so you should be fine." Hongjoong told you.

"Alright. Thanks, Joong." You looked through the menu to decide on what to eat.

"Their famous for their handmade pasta." Jongho informed.

After giving your order to the Ateez manager, he returned with your plates of food on a tray. That was when you removed your mask and started eating.

"So tomorrow is the shoot?" You asked as you took a bite of your salad. The boys all nodded their heads.

"We're leaving at 5 to get to the destination then hair and make up. It'll be a long day of shooting since they try to get most of the unit or group shots done first." Hongjoong said.

"Or those solo shots that are affected by the time of day and stuff like that will also be done according to their schedule. Like last time, Seonghwa hyung and Wooyoung could only film at sunset. But we'll all be at the film site tomorrow. Staggered schedules only start from day 2." Yunho added.

"That's interesting. I guess those take priority in the schedule." You nodded, learning from what the boys were sharing.

"Outdoor music video shoots that are affected by the time of day are always the hardest." San said.

"That makes sense." You hummed. You naturally picked food off Hongjoong's plate since he ordered something different from you. He glared at you.

"Stop stealing my food." He snatched his plate up.

"I just wanted to try it. You can take some of mine if you'd like, it's just as good." You shrugged, offering your plates of food.

"No, thanks. You have a lot of vegetables on yours." He scrunched his nose in disgust.

"You need to eat vegetables! This is why you didn't grow much, Joongie." You teased, pinching his cheek. He slapped your hands away from his face, glaring at you for mentioning his height.

"The second round of stylists and make up artists are coming to the shooting site at a later timing. You should follow them then rather than come with us at 5 am, have the chance to sleep in a little." Seonghwa steered back to the previous topic.

"If I'm not woken up at that time." You giggled. The boys all cast side glances at Mingi who was casually eating his meal.

"What?" He blinked.

"Nothing." Wooyoung blinked back. Although you did want to go and experience the shooting process, the thought of waking up at 4 to leave at 5 was exhausting to you.

"Does Eden usually tag along for music video shoots like this?" You asked.

"Sometimes, if the shoot is in Korea, he'll drop by but other than that, no. He just works on the music. The video shoot doesn't need producers. But this time he decided to tag along since you're here."

"I feel bad for taking him away from the office then." You rubbed the back of your neck.

"Nonsense, he probably wanted the excuse to get away and relax as well. Since the company is paying and the CEO wants you to experience this, he'll gladly be your chaperone. Plus, he brought equipment here to work just like you so he never leaves his work alone." Hongjoong patted your shoulder.

After dinner was done, the boys went back to their rooms one by one. San and Yeosang wanted to squeeze a work out before sleeping so they left the table the earliest.

"I need to sleep." Yunho yawned and headed up with Mingi, their arms slung around each other.

"Time to produce some songs before bed." Hongjoong stood up and walked away, Jongho trailing behind him quietly.

"Shall we?" Seonghwa waited for you.

"Mhmm, let's go. Thanks for waiting." You slid out from the bench and grabbed your dessert that was packed in a to go container. Wooyoung lazily strolled beside you.

"I'm staying over tonight right?" Wooyoung leaned against you, grinning, while you all stood in the lift.

"Yah, let her have some time with Mingi. They've both been so busy and unable to spend much time with each other. This is like a couple's holiday for them." Seonghwa chided, crossing his arms. Wooyoung whined with a pout.

"But with Mingi around, we are unable to see her even more! He shouldn't complain, at least he can still stay over at her place some nights." He scoffed.

"Sorry, Woo. I'll make it up to you somehow, okay?" You negotiated. He squinted his eyes at you.

"You better." He smirked.

"There you are." Mingi sighed in relief when he saw you enter the secured floor with Seonghwa and Wooyoung, pass the guards. He had been waiting for you.

"You could have gone in first." You chuckled but all your lover did was roll his eyes. You barely got a chance to wave to Seonghwa and Wooyoung before Mingi dragged you into your room.

"Let's have dessert and sleep. You need to wake up early tomorrow." You squeezed his arm with a small smile. Mingi nodded and kissed your forehead, dragging the arm chair right by the window that overlooked the city at night. He sat you down on his lap, facing the side with your legs over the arm rest.

"Here." You gave him a bite before taking a bite of the dessert. It was a lemon meringue tart, not too heavy of a dessert, which you were grateful for.

"Oops, my bad." You put down the fork and removed some crumbs from the corner of Mingi's lip.

"I know we're here for a music video shoot which is everything except a holiday. But moments like this, I just want to treat it like a holiday for the two of us." Mingi confessed, his arm squeezing your waist.

"Alright." You smiled, one arm coming to lightly hook around Mingi's neck to hold him.

"We won't get much opportunities like this."

"Don't worry about what we can't do in the future, Mings. We'll take the chances as they come, live in the moment." Your hand stroked the back of his head.

When dessert was done, you and Mingi took turns to shower. You sat at the vanity in the bathroom, doing your skincare. The fluffy robe you had worn after your shower was draped over the corner of the bath tub, the material feeling too heavy on you.

"You changed out?" Mingi poked his head in.

"Yeah. It was starting to feel too heavy. I still prefer this." You pulled at the oversized shirt you were wearing, which actually belonged to Mingi. The taller male shyly smiled.

"I prefer you in it too." He kissed the top of your head. With you sitting down, Mingi towered over you even more.

"Mings, go sleep." You turned around to lightly push his chest.

"No. I want you there." He said. Suddenly, Mingi slipped his arms underneath you, carrying you bridal style. You dropped your serum bottle on the counter. Thankfully it wasn't glass.

"Mings!" You scolded. But of course, he ignored you, carrying you to bed. He placed you down on the bed and hovered over you, his hands planted beside your head.

"I love you." He stared down at you.

"I love you too, Mings." You wrapped your arms around his neck to pull him down to kiss him. Whenever Mingi looked at you like this, he felt like he was looking at his entire world. He wasn't one to outwardly express his feelings much but when it came to expressing his love for you, it just poured out easily.

"Mings...?" You lightly tapped his forehead when you noticed him staring into space. Mingi blinked, shaking his head as he refocused on you.

"Are you alright?" You asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, baby." He smiled. Mingi laid down, pulling you in so you could rest in his embrace.

"I'm serious, you should sleep. Or else you will feel tired tomorrow." You looked up at him. Mingi nodded and kissed your forehead, letting his lips linger there for a few seconds.

"Goodnight, my love." He whispered.

When Mingi's alarm rang the next morning, he rushed to turn it off. He hoped that you hadn't been woken up by the sound or his movement.

"I'll see you later." Mingi kissed your temple and adjusted the pillow so you were hugging it. You didn't stir at all, so deep in sleep, which Mingi was grateful for and glad to see. You deserved some undisturbed sleep. He went back to his room to get ready.

"Indigo still asleep?" San asked when he saw Mingi emerge from his own room, dressed and ready to go.

"Thankfully, yes. I left as soon as my alarm rang since she's a light sleeper." Mingi informed, slipping his beanie over his head to hide his bed hair.

"Maybe this change of environment is good for her. She feels like she can relax a little more. It was good for her to come." San shrugged.

"I agree." The taller hummed, shoving his hands into his pants pocket as they met up with the others.

"Let's go before traffic gets too heavy. You'll be able to squeeze in a short nap on the way there." Hongjoong announced to the 7 boys that were half asleep.

"Yes, captain." The 7 replied. One by one, they climbed onto the bus that was catered for them.

"Before all of you go back to sleep, I want to remind everyone to get their video cameras or go pros from the director when we arrived at the film site. This is to film for the behind the scenes and other video packages that will be released throughout the year, same old process." Hongjoong reminded.

"Will the logbook staff be there?" Jongho raised his hand.

"Yes. Everyone is there. Social media team too so if you have the time, capture some content for them." The captain said.

"Okay." They chimed.

"Let's have a great shoot later, boys!"

Series Masterlist

[infinitegest]

ive had this idea of a monster (me) with a sort of desire aura--not mind control, but anyone I wanted to would want me badly. I'd set up shop near a prestigious college and pick out a couple of the most promising freshmen--valedictorians of their high schools, preferably. Sharp, organized, responsible types who'd never let anything get in the way of their education, the last people anyone would expect to get pregnant in college. But as soon as they're at my place, not knowing what's behind my human disguise, they'd be throwing themselves at me, begging for me to fill them up. I'd go light for their freshman year--plant maybe just two or three of my spawn in their bellies, though still enough to force them to waddle from class to class after a few months. When they're not in my presence, they're cursing themselves, wondering what the hell they were thinking to wind up so huge and heavy with a near-stranger's babies, but as soon as they see me again they know they'd do it again in a heartbeat.

And don't worry, they would! I'd keep them as my own little broodmares for the rest of their college careers, adding a few more to each litter every time, until they spent their senior years breathing heavily with every step, nearly immobile with the weight of over a dozen little ones in their enormous, overstretched wombs. i just think it'd be fun.

this has been sitting in my inbox for a while bc oofffff

an intelligent, ambitious freshman, excited for a whole new stage of life, eager to become a Real Adult and have Real College Experiences, is walking back to their dorm after their first week of classes when they see you sitting on the steps of one of the buildings. they make eye contact with you, and they know, instantly, that they want to go home with you. they would normally never do something so irresponsible, so impulsive, but... this is college, right? random hook-ups, sexual liberation, a Real College Experience! all they have to do is go over and talk to you. besides, it's not like their parents will ever know...

smash cut forward to the winter break. they're in the bathroom on the train. their stop is coming soon, their parents will be picking them up,and they're desperately trying to convince themself that their chunky holiday sweater will be able to conceal their swollen tummy, which already looks like it's on the cusp of the third trimester despite their buns not even being halfway done baking. it's mortifying enough rolling out of bed each morning to the judgmental glances of their roommate, unavoidable in the tiny freshman dorm they share, but now they're about to be with the people they care about, the people whose validation and approval they've been thriving on for years. they pull the hem down for the dozenth time and groan deeply, trying to script out a gentle way to break it to their parents that the favorite child, the valedictorian, the prodigy, is now big-bellied with the babies of a complete stranger. they couldn’t even make it a full week on their own without getting knocked up, they couldn't even say what your name was (and why can't they remember your face?)

when they get back from a remarkably chilly winter break (in more ways than one), they're relieved to see that they actually share two classes with another one of your swelling breeders, though they have no way of knowing that they have that in common. from their perspective, it's just nice to not be the only one with a prominent belly, and to have a peer they can chat about growth and aches and cravings with.

the two become fast friends. they have so much in common, after all: both intelligent, ambitious, and knocked up by some rando towards the beginning of the school year. they briefly muse on the plausibility of the passengers within the two burgeoning tummies being half-siblings, before laughing it off and moving on to other topics.

spring comes, the time of fertility, and the two have been getting closer and closer (and bigger, and bigger). late one evening, lazily rubbing each other's bellies after some sweaty fun, the classmate mentions something they'd heard about-- an off-campus housing opportunity, specifically geared towards the comfort of expecting students.

it almost sounds to good to be true, that someone would forego being a total leech on society renting out such a spacious, comfortable property to the wealthier members of the student body, instead choosing to provide free, conveniently-located housing to students who let their libidos get the best of them and are waddling with the consequences. but, the classmate claims they've talked to another big-bellied peer, a sophomore who swears by the place.

so, together, the freshman and their friend decide to meet with the owner of the place, to get a good look and see if there's a slot or two open. the freshman is worried: they're unmistakably pregnant, massive enough that the kicks of their cargo are occasionally visible from across a lecture hall. but they're due just after finals week; if they aren't pregnant anymore, would they still be allowed to move in? this is what they're anxious about, squeezing their friend's hand as they waddle together to the property and knock on the door for the meeting.

of course, as the door opens and they see your smile, those worries vanish. if being knocked up is the prerequisite for being a tenant, then they know they'll be eligible for years to come.

Hii! I would like to ask for Sinclair brothers with a gn s/o who struggles with an ed? Preferably anorexia, but you can make it unspecified if that'll work better for you ^^ Thank you so much and if you need any closer info, I'd be happy to help!

(Hope you're doin' alright and sorry this took so long!)

✦Struggling With An Eating Disorder✦

✦I make this a bit more subtle but please proceed with caution. If you're struggling, there are places to reach out. Including hotlines.✦

✦GN! Reader, unspecified race, height, & body type, again, proceed with caution✦ ✧Vincent; He/They, Bo; He/Him, Lester; He/Him. Bonus: Carly; She/Her, Nick; He/Him✧

✧Vincent Sinclair✧

Vincent's the most emotionally competent of his brothers, which comes with being an artist. They also understand being physically insecure, and wanting to change those aspects of themselves. Vincent will be the one to notice signs even if you haven't said anything.

He's hesitant to actually approach you with his suspicions, but his concern will eventually overtake the anxiety of being wrong. It's hard to be verbally gentle with sign language but they do their best. If you struggle to admit it and start crying or getting upset, they'll do their best to express that they aren't upset in anyway. He's just worried.

Victor was a medical doctor but had some books on mental health, which Vincent has read, and he will go back and reread them if he thinks they'll hold anything that'll help. The information might be outdated but he'll take whatever he can to ensure they know everything possible they can do to help.

Keeping up with a therapist is hard out in Ambrose, and all the brothers are hesitant about you leaving on the chance you let something slip. But, when trust has been built, Vincent will pressure Bo to let you go. If Bo doesn't take you, Lester will. You're likely to miss appointments but Vincent does their best to keep up with it.

They're not good at cooking or with food in general. They don't have a disorder but they forget to eat often. Still, he does his best to eat with you so you don't feel alone with it, assuming that's what helps. In their mind, making it more of a social things leaves less room for your mind to wander and make you feel bad. He'll even take his mask off for you.

Vincent's got a plethora of markers and paint, and they will absolutely go in on everything Bo brings into the house and cross out the calories. Even if that means painting over an entire package.

They enjoy drawing you frequently, and the way they do is always so honest and surreal. If you see his drawings of you, you might ask why he chooses you. Every time they'll respond with a genuine, from-the-heart sentiment. "You're the best muse I could have." "I want the challenge of capturing your beauty." "Every artist needs something beautiful for reference."

Vincent means it every time.

✧Bo Sinclair✧

Bo's really not emotionally intelligent. He's harsh and rough and approaches everything in life with a hardened expression. But not with you, not after you've wormed your way into his heart and made yourself at home in his ribs.

He's not gonna understand at first, not if you put it in simple terms at least. He's never had that problem. But when he sees how it affects you on really bad days, it'll start to dawn on him that it's not an easy fix. You can't just pick something up and eat it. It's a battle all the time. This is when he starts to soften up and treat it more delicately, as delicately as he knows how anyway.

If he can't find a working pen, he'll tear/cut out the calorie counts on foods & drinks. And if he's taken you out somewhere, he'll reach over and cover calorie numbers with his hand. If it's a big sign over the order counter, he'll simply tell you to go sit down while he orders. You might think Bo doesn't notice, but he'll know all your favorites by heart.

He's gonna ask you what he can do to make it easier. If you say you don't know, he'll throw out options until one seems to stick. And then he'll adopt it to his routine religiously. Forming habits is easy and he knows this. Adding another step to his general day routine is nothing for him.

Bo's hyper-protective of you. It shows in his reluctance to let you leave the town, to be involved in the process of wax figures, even climbing on the counter to grab something high up. Lester says it's the older brother in him, Vincent once called it "dad instincts". Ironic, given Bo hated his own father the most. So if he hears a single comment about your appearance from someone else, and it's not a compliment? He's immediately throwing hands.

He'll pick up photography again, a gesture he hopes silently conveys how he sees you. Every camera click and slide of polaroid film is him trying to tell you how he sees you, since he's not that good with words. He'll pin them up in the garage and certainly keeps more than one in his wallet.

Bo will rip the size tags off your clothes. But, he'll remember it, so that way he can buy your clothes. You don't have to worry if you no longer fit in a medium, large, or small. He's got it logged in his head. If he really isn't sure, he'll try to subtly measure your waist with his hands, acting out physical affection while gathering the data he needs. Just to avoid even the concept of you worrying about that letter in the back of your jeans. His physically affection will also double. Naturally, he's a horny bastard, and he'll try to show you he finds you attractive by using stuff like sex. But if you aren't up for it, or the insecurity is just a bit too much, he'll certainly settle for holding you on the couch.

And honestly? He'll bring back his old poem hobby, write you a sonnet, hoping the words on paper will translate how they do in his brain. "It's not that good but...ya know, the meanin's there." He's a bastard because it's an absolutely beautiful poem and it's definitely gonna make you cry.

✧Lester Sinclair✧

Lester's more in touch with his feelings and the emotions of others than Bo, but he's not as in tune as Vincent. Still, Lester is very observant of things like body language and voice cues. If he sees enough signs, he might not know it's an eating disorder, but he will eventually ask if you see yourself negatively. It breaks his heart when you admit it and part of him will wonder if he contributed in anyway. He's relieved when you say he hasn't, but it still pains him.

If your problems with food stem from things like childhood trauma or parental pressure, he's gonna have a murderous rage for those people, but you won't ever see it. The only Lester you see is charming lover with the patience of a saint. And terrible puns.

He'll probably talk to his brother Vincent for advice since Vincent's the one that was ever interested in mental health and psychology. He wants all the information he can get so he can support you completely. Lester thinks of himself as an idiot, but he's not gonna let that stop him from keeping you happy.

Lester rarely goes to grocery stores and tends to make all his meals from scratch. But, still, he'll cover calorie counts on anything he needs to buy in. Sometimes he'll move snacks into new containers because he couldn't find a marker and he couldn't tear that portion out. He won't even throw the package in the house trash, he'll put it in the outside one.

He drives into the city most frequently and he will absolutely go off his work route to drop off/pick you up from therapy. No matter how expensive the appointments are too. He makes decent money and he's got a pretty cheap lifestyle, but even if he didn't, it wouldn't matter. He'd simply pick up a second job to cover the cost.

Lester's cooking skills are actually rather impressive, and he eats surprisingly healthy meals. (excluding a lot of salt & using roadkill meat) If that's the kind of thing that'll help, then yeah. He'll even help you start a vegetable garden. Anything to help you and hey, acts as bonding time.

If anyone makes a single comment about your size or weight, he'll honestly kill them on the spot. Lester is the kindest of the Sinclairs, and he is the most sane, but he's not above chucking a body into the roadkill pit. If there's anything left to dispose of anyway. He'll get it done quickly & ruthlessly, then come home to you with a grin and a hug with your name on it.

Lester isn't good with words and he's not always sure if he's helping, but he makes it clear he's trying. You're his special person, if anyone's gonna make sure you know that, it's him. No matter what it is. He'll bend over backward without your request because he feels that's the bare minimum, to keep you as happy & healthy as possible.

✦Bonus✦

✧Carly✧

She understands the pressure of needing to maintain a certain weight. Society is a bitch, after all. But Carly ain't about that, and she'll support you with everything she's got. Whether it's chucking out calorie numbers or being with you for every meal. She'll do her best to encourage you to eat at least once a day, even if it's hard. And if you're struggling to the point of tears, she'll hush you and give you gentle words of encouragement. She's extremely proud of you every time you make a breakthrough.

✧Nick✧

He's an asshole a lot of the time, but he cares, he honestly does. Hearing you have that kind of struggle with your body is, well, it makes him angry. Not at you, but at the fact he can't fix it for you. So he'll speak to you softly and express his adoration for you as best he can, even if he's real rough around the edges. Even when he and his sister are on rocky ground with each other, he'll drop his pride and go to her for advice if he's left unsure what to do. Nick feels like you're the only good thing that's ever happened to him and he's fucked up enough in his life. He's not about to let you struggle with something alone.

[polutrope]

For the character ask game: Can I ask about Finrod and Turgon, both characters, but with all these numbers for both characters? 2, 3 7, 8, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25. Or would it be too much?

Sure, let's try it!

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

Finrod: It's gotta be tearing a werewolf apart with his bare hands and teeth.

Turgon: Morgoth being scared of him specifically.

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

Finrod: Answered here.

Turgon: Removing to a Hidden City and apparently not telling anyone who loved him. I prefer to imagine he did tell some people, including his father and brother.

7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?

Finrod: Answered here.

Turgon: I love to see the shift in Turgon's fandom reception recently. He's proud, he's stubborn, but he's also passionate, he loves fiercely, and he lets those he loves go (Aredhel, Idril to a mortal husband -- Thingol, take note).

8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

Finrod: Nothing comes to mind. Possibly making him too faultless? But that's me digging deep for a complaint.

Turgon: HAHAHA. How to begin. Flattening him to a humourless and heartless despot. Seems to be something that exists out of a desire for someone to fill that archetype rather than his canon character. That being said, if it's a good story, I can forgive many characterisation crimes.

15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)

Finrod: Recently, a toxic affair with Celegorm. But he's so versatile. Finrod/Maglor is also my go-to This Is Hot ship.

Turgon: Elenwë <3. Though I think he deserves to get shipped around a lot more. He's a sexy man.

16. What's your least favorite ship for this character?

Finrod: This is going to make a lot of my mutuals sad and I am sorry, but I'm just not that invested in Beor/Finrod. I read it still! And I admire and enjoy the wonderful stories people write about it, but I can't imagine being invested enough to want to write it. Things change, though.

Turgon: I feel like he doesn't get shipped enough for me to answer this. I'm happy to see him getting action with most people. Does he get shipped with Maeglin? That would be my answer if he does.

18. How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?

Finrod: Turgon!!

Turgon: Finrod!!

They are such sweet adventure cousins and city-builders and I hope they are happily reunited in Valinor and hanging out talking about philosophy on a lovely hike through nature.

19. How about a relationship they have in canon that you don't like?

Can't think of any.

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?

See Question 18. And they DO NOT share enough screen/page time and it's one of the Silm's many tragedies.

21. If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?

Finrod: He's a delight to write. Insightful, curious, joyful, and thoughtful. Honestly can't think of anything I don't enjoy about writing him.

Turgon: He's so complicated!! Someone very smart who is always fighting demons -- demons of his grief, his pride, his responsibility. A challenge writing him is not slipping into the fanon characterisation I described above. It is convenient.

22. If you're a fic reader, what's something you like in fics when it comes to ths character? Something you don't like?

Finrod: Same things I like about writing him. @cuarthol made me love Finrod and remains my favourite Finrod writer.

Turgon: love reading about his fierce love. @swanmaids and @melestasflight come to mind as favourite Turgon writers and advocates.

23. Favorite picture of this character?

Impossible to pick just one.

Finrod:

I love @melkomelko's Finrod, both the serious and the silly.

This by @myceliumelium captures his heart:

This one by @anattmar

This Finrod and Maglor by @wombywoo is SO Finrod

And I adore the style and vibe of this Finrod by @cuarthol

And finally savage yet peaceful Finrod by hallbeorn

Turgon:

This by @elfinfen

This Turgon and Anaire by @irythyllians

This Turgon and Fingon by @arlenianchronicles

And this by @seasbird (Tumblr cut me off on embedded links...)

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

Like many, I came into the fandom a Feanorian enthusiast through-and-through. I gotta dig waaaay back for my first-time impressions of the Silm, but my recollection is that Finrod and Turgon seemed epic but I wasn't personally invested in them. My old ff.net account appears to have nothing on them.

Thank you for the ask! Character ask game.

GET TO KNOW ME MEME ! !

NAME — pyro, but some of you know me by my name/name PRONOUNS — she/her SEXUALITY — demisexual, which is admittedly why a few of my more popular muses are as well, because it's easy to write, lol SINGLE / TAKEN — taken

THREE FACTS

— I used to teach preschool — I’m a published author — My ideas were used for a few episodes of a very popular cult phenomenon show that ran for 15 years...

EXPERIENCE

HOW LONG — Have I been writing? Since 6th grade. My teacher added an extra credit part to our weekly homework packets for me because I was always writing random short stories in class in my free time and she thought it would be fun if we all had a chance to do that. RPing? Since 2006, and it was on a Star Trek forum that no longer exists. It was also fully comprised of OCs only, so it boggled my mind--still does--that when I came to Tumblr that was so frowned upon, because that was all I knew. WHAT PLATFORMS — A couple of forums, one for Start Trek and one that was a world that my sister and I created that took off with our friends and some other people we never met in real life, lol. We also did Twitter RP for a while for FanFic characters, and then I ended up on Tumblr, and very rarely do a I sometimes do Discord RP. BEST EXPERIENCE — I love Tumblr most days, but those forums were hands down the best. We all collaborated on ideas, and we all gushed about each other's OC's, and we genuinely wanted everyone to have a good time. We also got really into editing and manips, which was why when I was involved in said cult phenomenon, I used to make fan videos too by meshing different shows and movies together. I still do that occasionally, but mostly I just work on my own novels, lol. Honestly, probably why Eve has taken off as she has with the group of you that I've surrounded myself with because we all do the same--we collaborate and gush and protect each other.

MUSE TYPE

FEMALE OR MALE — I heavily lean towards female muses. I don't know why that is, because I do have male muses that I have used in the past, and I love writing male characters, but I have never been able to stick with one that I RPed. Because of that, I absolutely RP females constantly. FLUFF , ANGST OR SMUT — I love them all! Angst is my niche though. I've been known for it in every serious writing group I have ever been in, but I still love fluff and I do love smut if I'm in the mood for it. I try not to turn cute threads into angst too, but I know that I'm guilty of that sometimes, haha. PLOTS OR MEMES — ALL OF THE ABOVE LONG OR SHORT REPLIES — I prefer longer replies, but I understand that those can take a toll, and sometimes, I'm more in the mood for a shorter quippy thread, you know? So, it really depends on the mood, and how my partner is feeling. BEST TIME TO WRITE — When I have the muse to. That's such a response, but, it's just true. I have such limited time because of my work schedule, so I'm mostly on in the mornings or on Sundays, but honestly, you can't force writing to happen. You really gotta go with the flow. ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S) — I mean...yes and no? I have muses that I have absolutely nothing in common with, but I also feel like, most of us pick muses that we at least see one trait in common with them? Easier to write what you know? Like I write L.ove Q.uinn, but I wouldn't say I am like her. I have a mothering streak like Eve does, and I can be a bit of an arrogant brat like Y.ennefer, but I don't know that I'd ever compare myself to my muses, lol.

TAGGED BY STOLEN FROM: the dash and i can't remember from whom TAGGING: @illithidploy, @arcanecast, @shadovan, @miidnighters, @dxnse-macabre, @fereldensheroes, @altrxisme, @luposcainus, @championsofthegate, @alittlebitofmuse, @wolf-eyes-wolf-soul, and you ! !

[blueparadis]

hi! do you have any tips for writing long fics?

helo helo :> i just layed out the framework the way i prefer to do. I'm still working on it, writing long fics.

Ask yourself how long its gonna be? 5k? 10k ? 20k?; set a word count of the fic ( just an approximation)

divide them in parts — i generally do it like this, not a special thing to follow but just a framework.

[a] Exposition: A direct way of telling the reader/audience what's happening in the story before it starts. It sets the tone of the whole story including establishing the characters and where the story is going to take place.the introduction of the plot.

[b] Inciting Incident or Rising Action: Because of what is established in the exposition, the characters in the story are led to do something. This part gets more suspenseful as the story progresses making the audience wonder what's going to happen next. That's why it's a "rising" action. Be specific as you can be since you won't be able to add plot details in next part

[c]Climax: This is usually the most important part of the story. It's the culmination of everything that's happened in the story so far and the point where a choice or an action is made the affects every part of the story. It is the most descriptive part but please be mindful not to slip in too much info, just how the characters are feeling, reacting, thinking to do.

[d]Falling action: This is the part of the story which shows the consequences of climax and the "fallout."You can info dump here again apart from adding Redemption, regret, reconciliation ( if any ).

[e] Denouement or Resolution: This is the conclusion of the story that wraps everything up and fills in any details that hadn't been revealed before so that the story is fully understood. And it gives you an indication of what's to happen once the story ends too or you can give a open ending if you'd like to continue in future.

Set a word count for each of the parts. don't worry if it doesn't match the overall approximating word count you had in the first place for this fic. None of them will be same at the end.

Start writing a synopsis for each part, jot down points you want to touch, even if it's just broken sentences. No one's gonna check that, the result MATTERS. So, write anything in anyway which you won't forget. Sometimes I have oneliner musing to remember the dynamic,the emotional elements that I want to write.

NOW, there must be a scene, a part that you're dying to write, that made you write this long fic in the first place. If you feel restless to write that, please do. It'll get easier to finish and you'll get a huge boost to write the rest of the part. It can be the climax, anti-climax or even the conclusion.

try to finish a part a day, at least a part of part. Be patient with writing otherwise it'll get tiring when you'll be proofreading

listen to music. Yes music, not songs. Only music. Lofi works the best but feel free to pick your niche. It'll help you focus if you're very excited to write the fic.

After completing all you have to do is to beta read. This is harder than you think. It is the same fic that you've been writing for days , maybe months and you might grow monotonous of reading it again. So, beta read can be done in two ways.

one— you can take a day's gap (or whatever you deem fit ) and read, make the necessary corrections in one sitting.

two— do it by parts. starting with your favourite scene or going from the last part to the first part.

Or you can ask someone to beta read. I don't because I can't let someone go through my 10k of brainrot because of one particular scene.

Thank you. i wish you all the best in writing your fic <333

SHIPPING INFO. Answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog.

What's your OTP for your muse(s)?

I think it's a little obvious that bkdk kind of takes a lot of precedent for me... But krbk is literally right on its heels, followed by kacchako. Those are my big three.

Realistically, I'm a shipper of Katsuki with happiness.

What are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?

Barring my hard nos in my rules... Well, my strong preference lays in exploring the dynamic specific to two characters - I also THRIVE in re-exploring that dynamic in AUs, seeing how it might change in the absence or inclusion of certain factors. I love delving into the complexity of a bond and seeing how it fares against personal trials between two characters. I also love anything resulting in angst. Not at all contradicting my Katsuki + happiness thing...

How large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?

For Katsuki, anything outside of a year on each side irks me. That's because I focus very heavily on his high school years... In a Pro Hero setting, I'm not too inclined to alter that, even though I actually don't mind age gaps in general - I just ain't fucking with it when it comes to Katsuki.

Are you selective when shipping?

Honestly, yeah, quite a bit. I've admittedly explored multiple romantic dynamics of the same characters with different muns, and I found that I click better with some than others, and the way I envision a bond will be with a specific rendition. Like with Charlie's Kirishima! I have been shipping krbk with Charlie for so long and their Kiri is the only one that I can see writing a ship with. (Nothing against other Kiris ofc! I absolutely adore them - I'm just very attached to what Charlie and I have developed over the past few years on-and-off.)

Then bkdk is a special case in which I have two partners; Bella with her Izuku is deeply rooted in my main verse (and we've written bkdk since 2021, so it's a very fleshed out dynamic), while what I have with Pon's Izuku is specifically an AU that's been invested into with like... A 10+ year timeline attached to it.

Even if my partners aren't super active on Tumblr (which, lol, neither am I sometimes, so I'm not too bothered), I almost always have our ships in my mind. My selectivity is not because I don't want a specific ship - because I'm a multishipper and rarepair connoisseur, where I have recently discovered a small following for RodyBaku - but because I'm very established in some of the ships I have.

How far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NSFW?

Side eyes this question... Not very far. Besides, I'll never write even suggestive content here. It just feels so... Eugh. You get me?

Who are other muses you ship your muse with?

Do you want a list? Okay well say less.

Main ships: bkdk, krbk, kacchako.

Ships I really really enjoy: tdbk, monobaku, bakumina. izukacchako.

The rarer variety: bakumomo, bakujirou, rodybaku, bakuiida, bakukami, bakusero, shinbaku, setsugou... Very tentatively including bakutoga here.

Most of the ships I have down are more like, "oh, this would be a cute dynamic", but generally (very quickly) removed from canon context. They're also mostly ones I wouldn't think too hard about unless discussed with someone who is interested in exploring that specifically. Again, I'm just here for Katsuki having happiness.

Also very cool with canon x oc stuff, like my ship with Aleera's oc, Hana.

Does one have to ask to ship with you?

Please. Please do. I will be so dumb to suggested shipping context and I'm actually kind of really fucking dense, so my ass will not pick up subtle cues to bring up "oh hey, what if we ship this", UNLESS I've known you for a while... And sometimes not even that. Because I'm a nervous wreck.

Are you multiship?

... Gestures to my list of ships above. Take a wild guess.

Are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?

I try not to make shipping a big deal on here, because a ship is not the be-all end-all for interactions and there are SO many other dynamics that can be explored... But that being said... I do tend to develop ship brainrot very, very fast. Sometimes they just be infesting my brain guys.

What is your favorite ship in your current fandom?

You can't just ask me that maaaaaaan, I'm such a strong multishipper and therefore can't pick just ONE. Besides, my ships with my friends matter most to me.

Finally, how does one ship with you?

Literally just. Ask. Gimme a nudge. Be like "hey, so, Katsuki and [muse]: yay or nay". Maybe it'll end up just being a platonic ship rather than romantic, because despite my multishipping heart, Katsuki is the most stubborn muse I've ever had and doesn't go for a whole lot of romance - but it literally does not hurt to shoot your shot. I promise I don't bite. I'm just a little guy. I'm very silly. Given the chance to yap about Katsuki and his potential dynamics with characters, I will literally not shut up.

how do you usually choose a class? I know that both class and aspect are important, but I find it much easier to pick one theme that affected somebody's life the most, than their relationship with it. because I don't see much difference between classes that aren't destructive/stealing

hey there! a lot of classpecting is looking at both classes and aspects through different lenses. while it's true that classes demonstrate a character's relationship with their aspect, classes also often describe a character's role in the story. instead of determining a prince of rage, for example, from how this character responds to or uses rage, i might find the aspect from how they act in the story (tending to be destructive) and compare it with their associated aspect. another example, pages aren't always "weak at power then strong at power"; a page may have a personal growth arc throughout the story that culminates in their enhanced ability to do xyz with their aspect.

part of the process is also taking what we have from canon, noting down common themes, and then expanding the more ambiguous classes from just a four-letter word to a pattern of action, powers, and behavior that can be used in specific, deliberate ways. like, my personal definition for mage, a class that has less coverage than one like knight or prince, is someone who is guided by their aspect; as opposed to a seer, who looks into their aspect and guides others with it. someone else's interpretation may look different, but as long as you're mindful of canon both peoples' interpretations will probably function similarly in practice.

the most well-defined classes are probably thief, rogue, seer, heir, knight, prince, page, and witch (and even those have some room to reinterpret them). bard, lord, muse, mage, maid, and sylph? beyond brief descriptions for a few from aranea and calliope (both of which have been proven unreliable) and the actions the associated players take, we have essentially nothing. as someone who prefers to abide by canon in most communities i'm in, interpreting Hussie's Vague Messages causes me a little bit of strife, but it's a necessary part of the process so you don't get stuck in the same 4 classes.

generally speaking, if you think you could argue a convincing case for a character's classpect, based on how you view both the class and the aspect separately, you're probably onto something.

(also, just as a little tip from me: gendered classes are bullshit. the active and passive dichotomy is likely also bullshit. leaning into these may be an easy way out, but it's not a satisfying or good way out.)

(and i know that putting bard in "loosely defined" may net me some backlash, so i'll just say it like this. we only ever see ONE bard in action. gamzee may have been there a lot, but he is one example of the class. cronus exists, but i honestly can't find an in-universe definition of bardhood that includes both him and gamzee.)

12, 19, 21, 25, 27, 28, 29 (real curious about this one), 31, 34, 37,

OKAY fuck that's a lot of questions ik. But like if it's too much ya can answer whichever the ones ya want. Also the <<<40>>>> this question deserves a special place cause I AM FERAL AND BAT SHIT CRAZY TO ANYTHING RELATED TO LOVE-PUNCH.

12. Is there an episode above all others that inspires you just a little bit more?

I really enjoy the (singular) episode we've gotten for these two. In the context of the comics, one of my favorites is the one where Wade has to talk Peter out of going too dark-sided, which was a really fun contrast and something that Peter ended up thanking him for which is pretty rare for him.

19. Stephen King once said that his muse is a man who lives in the basement. Do you have a muse?

I'm very much my own muse, and I mean that in the vainest and most honest way possible.

21. How many times do you usually revise your fic/chapter before posting?

I can't even begin to count this number. It's a lot. It's like - it's a lot. I really won't post something until I can read through it and not feel the urge to adjust or change anything. I'm a picky reader, so that - is not an easy thing to accomplish. I also have a great beta who will sometimes rewrite portions, reorganize my flow, or pick specific sections that should be rewritten or re-evaluated, and so I'll send a couple of drafts over in that case so - yeah, the number is high. I take the editing stage very seriously.

25. What do you look for in a beta?

I was very lucky to have my beta @maybe-haunted ask to work with me on chapter one of my first posted work, so I've never necessarily looked for one. I've just been very fortunate to have the perfect one find me. I don't ask for creative help often, so the thing I appreciate about my beta (one of many) is that they make me feel very safe sharing something in a very raw, very imperfect state. I only publish polished works, but they've seen my writing at it's roughest and most incomprehensible, and they're always able to be very direct about what does/doesn't work while making me feel comfortable in that experience. I love knowing what's going on in the reader's mind, and they're a very good audience for getting that type of feedback. They also individually comment on all the sections/moments they like or hit really well for them, and that is just - let me tell you. The best part of the editing process is getting to read what they thought about it and getting to experience in real-time how my writing is being ingested by another person weeks before it's ever shown to my bigger audience. I really appreciate them a lot.

27. How do you feel about collaborations?

I don't enjoy them! I really like being the only guy steering the ship. I have never enjoyed collaborative projects. I have talked about writing something with @periodically-puzzled, and they're probably the only person I'd do it with. That being said, I love collaboration within idea sharing and editing, and I've taken a lot of ideas/feedback/snippets from my writing friends and beta before, and I love seeing how the hand of another person influences and changes my writing. I also enjoy seeing my hand in other people's work, but it's the difference between adding spice to the soup and making a soup with someone else. I much prefer adding spice/having spice added then having to share kitchen space.

28. Share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much.

@periodically-puzzled: funny and immensely clever, such a clear narrative voice, and very intentional with the stories they like to tell. the first time I read their work, I felt like I had found a pearl in a sea of rocks. there's just something very individualistic about how they write. you can see the person behind the wheel and it makes it all that more interesting. also one of the few people to actually trigger me with their writing.

@primewritessmut: gnarly and so violent in a way that actually makes their writing almost bleed with it. there are writers who are like "wow I'm such a psychopath for writing this there must be something wrong with me" but they are literally babies in the face of whatever is happening inside prime's mind. her writing makes me flinch and I really enjoy that experience of not being able to look away. also just, the ability to finish so many interesting and complex stories is always something that impresses me.

@x-gon-give-it: really, immensely obsessed with their current WIP with a mercenary spider-man. the writing is just - incredible. there are passages and bits from it that cycle around my head in a loop. really just cracked peter parker on the sidewalk and made us all look at the inside of his fucked up brain. really very talented at writing violence and like, razor sharp intimacy. I take notes whenever I read one of the new chapters, honestly.

29. If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose?

I know you were interested in this answer specifically, but I honestly would not do write a sequel or prequel for anyone else's work. that's just not how my brain works. part of that comes from the fact that I have a complicated, often negative relationship with people creating works inspired from my own, so it's not something I would do to another writer.

31. Do you take liberties with canon or are you very strict about your fic being canon compliant?

I take liberties by claiming everything I write is inspired by canon even which it's in direct opposition of it.

34. What are your thoughts on non-con and dub-con?

I love it a lot. I read a lot of it. I write a lot of it. I think it's a safe space for people to explore something complicated and/or objectively horrible that is often inspired by real world experiences and fears. I used to say that I wouldn't write non-con, and I still stand by the fact that I probably wouldn't write sexual non-con for my own mental health, but I am exploring a technically not sexual non-con scenario in a one-shot right now.

37. Talk about your current wips.

The not sexual non-con scenario I'm working on is one where Spider-Man goes feral and Wade keeps him in a cage and starves him on purpose to see if he can get Spider-Man to cannibalize him.

40. Write an alternative ending to [insert fic title] (or just the summary of one).

I'm going to be so real, I almost didn't answer this one because I don't like to talk about my endings (even their direct opposites) before I write them, but I did end up thinking about this enough to probably warrant an answer. I think that if (redacted) didn't happen, then they would remain enemies who absolutely hate everything about each other in the way that only bitter ex's really can.

I think that they would know too much about each other and that they would intentionally make each other's lives miserable because of it. They're both very vindictive people who love to hold a grudge, and both of them would feel victimized by how (redacted) went down and would feel like the other person was their personal villain.

I think Wade wouldn't kill Spider-Man, not out of love, but because he'd enjoy hurting him too much, and I think that Spider-Man would break his no-kill rule specifically to shut Wade up sometimes. I think Wade would bring the worst out of Peter, and Peter would make Wade want to destroy the best inside himself. It would be a 24/7 divorce court, but the court is the city and neither party is happy with the verdict and keep on trying to hurt each other to make up for it. I think eventually one of them would leave the city, and they would never see each other again, but the hate would never fully go away - and if they made their way back to each other, it would burn twice as hot. It would be like a full circle moment, then ending with how they started but this time with twice the amount of knowledge and the hate would be actually personal this time. That would be the alternative ending.

WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE SMELL LIKE?   You see a talking bubblegum, but if you expect a sweet smell from sniffing on him, you'll get severely disappointed. Krang's slimy skin adopted a very distinct metallic scent. He's spending a lot of time in machine rooms around engines (which sometimes tend to blow up), plus the fact he always sits inside android bodies or walkers of sorts. His skin quickly adopts any strong scents he's surrounded with though, so if someone locks him inside a perfume store, they'll have a migraine ball. WHAT DO YOUR MUSE’S HANDS FEEL LIKE?   "You fool! I don't even have any hands!" His tentacles just feel the same as the rest of his body. Like grabbing a wet jelly or an earthworm on a rainy day, while his slime is like that of a big snail. He does work with his tentacles sometimes, but not remotely as much as Subprime for example. He relies a lot on his mandroid, so his tentacles are as soft as the rest of his body. WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE USUALLY EAT IN A DAY?    Whatever he gets his tentacles at in between work. And yes, that includes bugs. But usually, he asks Shredder to bring Takeaway home for all of them ("Since you're using my Alien Express Card all the time ANYWAY!") He doesn't really have any favorite foods he indulges into all the time, but there are rare occasions when he actually does feel little cravings. Most of them are really random and sometimes weird. DOES YOUR MUSE HAVE A GOOD SINGING VOICE?    Hell no. Don't ever ask Krang to sing. He WILL sing if someone asks him because he thinks he's actually skilled at it. Everyone involved will run out of the room with their ears bleeding. That's why Shredder will shut everyone up before they can even finish suggesting it. ("Are you trying to kill us all?!") DOES YOUR MUSE HAVE ANY BAD HABITS OR NERVOUS TICKS?   He mumbles and has these burbling 'hiccups'. The more he's in thought or nervous about something, the more indistinct it gets. If he's greatly nervous, his burbling mumbles become nigh impossible to understand if someone isn't used to the way he talks. WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE USUALLY LOOK LIKE / WEAR?   Let's see. He wears a giant baby-faced android with red speedos. I don't think anyone ever wants any fashion advice from this blob. IS YOUR MUSE AFFECTIONATE? HOW SO?  More than he wants to admit? The Technodrome is full of walking cacti (one of them is literally a cactus on two legs), who all say they don't care, but they often do care. Very aggressively so. But on a more serious note here, Krang is very dependent in the first place, and sometimes he embraces that more than on other days. He likes being cared for and getting pampered with attention and affection to a degree, tho he hates getting belittled and looked down upon. Never mind, he's not a cactus, he's a weird naked cat. WHAT POSITION DOES YOUR MUSE SLEEP IN?    You know catloafs. Now I present you the Utromloaf. He naps curled up in a pink soft slimy ball inside his walker or on satin pillows because he likes being extra. He's also drifted off into his little meditative naps on laps before. Preferably Shredder, but he likes Clarissa's lap too. @dynamoprotocol. Or Rick, if they two are not too busy arguing. @countlessrealities COULD YOU HEAR YOUR MUSE IN THE HALLWAY FROM ANOTHER ROOM?  You bet you hear him if he's inside his walker or mandroid. He does try his hardest to be sneaky but it's kinda difficult inside these huge chunks of steel. Actually, you'll hear him when he's without a vehicle too because he'll yell around loudly and angrily for someone to pick him up. Menacing energy? 10. Stealth? 0.

//clothing style.

Before the apocalypse Gwendolyn liked to wear skirts, dresses, oversized sweaters and scarves, long necklaces and heels. Those are all things she doesn’t wear anymore because they’re not very practical. Now it’s mostly cargo pants and form fitting shirts walkers can’t easily grab onto with combat boots.

Some images of what she used to dress like:

It's closer to this now:

So the basic apocalypse chick style, except she will still wear a lot of pink and floral patterns.

// hobbies.

Archery, horseback riding and caring for horses, singing, watching TV shows (preferably with family/friends) and listening to audiobooks; most of those things she hasn't done in a long time due to the resources not being there (not encountering any horses or bows, no electronics for shows or audiobooks) or depression preventing her from being in the mood to sing, but under the right circumstances she will pick them up again. Especially archery since it's so useful.

When she is not doing these things she will stick to puzzles or solving sudoku instead to keep her mind occupied. Or she'll read comics if she comes across any good ones.

// fighting style.

She will use a weapon that is relatively long and allows more distance - like a shovel - to knock a walker down before stabbing it. That way she won't have to get so close to the walker with her knife while it's still standing. It's easier to stab a walker through the skull when it's lying on the floor than when it's still standing. That way there is not as much risk of being bitten. She will use firearms when necessary, but Gwendolyn knows that the noise draws in more walkers and ammunition is very valuable so she tries not to waste bullets.

If she can tell a walker is relatively "fresh" she will avoid close combat because it's insanely dangerous. That's something the show doesn't really take into consideration; walkers don't feel pain so they use their maximum amount of strength. They're crazy strong compared to the average human. Unless they're decaying already, which might make them really weak.

In general she will avoid walkers rather than kill them in most cases, unless they're far into their state of decay, in which case she will take them out so there is one less walker in the world.

// ways your muse says i love you.

She'll show them physical affection (which she is slow to do) and tell them sweet things.

//describe your muse’s walk.

She's very quiet on her feet, but she has a determined way of walking. She used to walk loudly but it's a habit she fixed because it can be very dangerous.

//talk about your muse’s accent.

Gwendolyn subconsciously always mimics a person's accent, dialect and way of speaking. Not to the point where she fully speaks like the other person, but she will pick some of it up, especially if she has been spending a lot of time with that person. So she sounds just slightly different around different people.

In general though she speaks in a slight southern US accent even though she didn't grow up there. She's quick to pick up new accents and she's spent a lot of time with people with Southern accents. Plus it's partially intentional too; she thought it sounded fun so she always mimicked her host mom's super strong Southern accent (who found it adorable and flattering). Eventually Gwendolyn was stuck with it, though her 'default' is not as thick unless she spends a lot of time around someone with a really thick Southern accent.

But she will sound a little like someone from Switzerland if she is really pissed off.

//does your muse know when to rest, or do they push themselves?

She knows when to rest. Gwendolyn might have moments where she will consider pushing herself but she will always stop herself from overexerting herself.

//is your muse a fitful or a quiet sleeper?

She tends to wake up a few times in the middle of the night. And she has a tendency to talk in her sleep.

//something your muse could never forgive.

Someone intentionally and severely hurting her loved ones or her in certain ways. People trying to kill or having killed her loved ones.

//how your muse responds to being helped / taken care of.

Gwendolyn will thank the person, perhaps somewhat excessively.

[s1ebren]

sigma and siebren are the same person but they are so vastly different. basically like two personas in one body. when the melody is at it's loudest and he is sigma, siebren is dead in that moment. (well, basically after the experiment, siebren de kuiper is classified as deceased anyways but that's a whole different story) sigma is ruthless, unforgiving which is what makes him so valuable to talon. at first, they had no way of controlling it but they figured it out.

his augments are used to control the melody. and no, he doesn't have a say in the control. they are controlled for him using the augments they have installed on his face, near his eyes. siebren, being the lovely, trusting man he is, has been assured that they know what is best and if he has any problems, he can report it and they will adjust accordingly. they always keep the melody at a "comfortable" hum. but when they need sigma, they remind him of what they do for him. that he owes them because they take care of him. they gave him his life back. they adjust his augments until the melody is blaring in his head and he becomes erratic. this is when he is ready to perform for them.

sigma is argued to be the most powerful hero in the overwatch universe. his powers really prove that. of course, he mostly prefers to use his hyperspheres, of course. they are simple and easily manifested. but, his powers go beyond the in game mechanics we see. with enough force and concentration, with a simple gesture of his arm, he can use his gravitic powers to tear down a building (within reason). he can tear up streets, and manipulate objects such as vehicles, boulders and the like. you will often see him in battles, picking up abandoned cars and tossing them at his enemies. if he can crush a building, or vehicle - imagine what he could do to a human. he knows what because he's done it. sometimes the melody is so loud and he already basically blacks out within the heat of battle, get him going enough, he can and will pick up anyone shooting at him or his allies. all it takes is him balling his fist and their bodies are crushed midair. i can imagine it being a similar fate as the occupants of the titan 2 submersible (sorry for the morbid comparison) but literally instant implosion. instant, painless death but certainly gruesome.

NOTE FOR WRITING THESE POWERS: never do i intend to use these powers against any muses. we don't even have to get into this graphic stuff either in any threads. i reckon these are not in game for a reason obviously. he would be VERY op to play against. but yeah!

after battle, siebren returns. the melody in his mind is usually stabilized. he often has a splitting headache. he remembers mostly everything at first, but he forgets with time. it is always very turbulent for him. siebren de kuiper isn't a killer, but sigma is. it scares him a lot knowing what he is capable of. he cries a lot. he feels helpless and this is also a time where those in charge of him are really trying to butter him up and tell him he did what he needed to do. i will probably expand a lot more on those conversations in the future but i want to stress that siebren holds immense guilt for what sigma does but cognitively, he might not always remember as memories fade. often, that is done on purpose. the melody being controlled does have an effect on his memory. (just trust me on this. don't question my science)

that's all my brain has for now but i bet i'll have a lot more to say in the future as well :3

GET TO KNOW THE MUN

what made you pick up the current muse(s) you have? ━━ (quick note that I will only be sticking too my main muses as I have many.) So when I was first getting into Arcane and wanted to rp, I had pretty much had Jinx in mind. I instantly fell in love with her as a character and she fit the role of the kind of characters I love to write. Of course I didn't have the knowledge of league to go off of, just Arcane and that was all I needed. I realized it wouldn't be as easy to get traction, as she diverges from canon, but I have been fortunate enough to meet people who love the direction. This has only made me fall more in love with her and how I connect with her.

Silco was another muse that fit the bill of characters I tend to write, so it was very much a given. Not only that but Immediately connected with him as a character because of how complex he was. He wasn't just some big villain. He is in entirely 3D, he has emotions and things that drive him and then there is the clear love he has for Jinx. I basically wanted to explore all of those elements as well as add my own.

Ekko at first was added in because I wanted to write someone who was on the opposite side of Jinx and Silco. Initially he was just going to be this typical "heroic" type muse, that wouldn't divulge too far from canon. However, very quickly I discovered that there was so much more I could do with him. Now he has become a muse I actively spazz about and He's just as much of importance as Jinx is.

Lastly, Vi was someone who'd Id thought about because I wanted to add a unique approach to her as far as arcane went and have just kept going from there!

is there anything you don’t like to write? ━━ I pretty much write anything for the most part. I think the biggest thing, since I tend to write darker themed muses is that most of the time I don't like to write kidnapping threads unless they are plotted out and make sense. (Aka don't assume because I have darker muses that they have kidnap you do to a thing unless you something like an ekko to a jinx or silco, etc.) Stuff like political ones I also don't do but that's because they don't keep my attention.

is there anything you really enjoy writing? ━━ There are a great deal of things I love to enjoy to write, but my favorite has to be angst in general. There is just something to be said about highly emotional moments that make you want to tear your heart out that gets to me. With the kind of muses I have that sort of thing comes easy. Really just any kind of plot with compelling stories that have multiple layers of emotion and actions are also just the way to go.

how do you come up with headcanons? ━━ A lot of the time my headcanons from intrusive thoughts, actually. Like sometimes a thought or idea will come to my head and from there I deduce whether its a decent idea or not. As far as initial ideas, images can help with that too, whether it be looking at still image or watching something. Then those form into big headcanons for each of my muses. If its something major, I also discuss it with friends and work out the kinks of it. (It's always very fun to be able to geek out about the ideas too!)

do you write in silence or do you play music?  ━━ I absolutely have to have music when writing. I've tried to write in silence and honestly the silence is just too much. I don't do listen to specific songs or playlists based on muses, but I usually listen to my preferred genre of music (usually rock or metal as they usually pump me up which helps.) If a song doesn't fit the mood I will skip it, though this is rare.

do you plan your replies or wing them? ━━ I am a mixture of both methods. Before the actual writing a plot or idea is discussed, and from there a narrative is kind of set of how we semi want it to go. However, I am big on letting the muses guiding the plot further. Its nice and unpredictable because sometimes it goes the way you think it will and others the muse will give me the middle finger and go the opposite way. And there is nothing more thrilling than that. After all some of the best stuff comes from that. I usually also react para by para.

do you enjoy shipping?  ━━ I used to be big on ships, like the sky was pretty much the limit. However, as I've gotten older that's kind of changed. I've become a lot more picky with who I ship together. Romantically it heavily relies on how my muses are with others, in cases of Caitvi it is very easy in regard. It also helps if we as muns communicate actively, and the longer we know each other the more it all clicks. (There is at least one or two cases of this.) Outside of romance I have a bigger love for familial and platonic ships, hell I even explore more complicated ships that don't just fit under a certain dynamic. That said I am always willing to discuss possible shipping.

what’s your alias/name?  ━━ Bli

age? ━━ 30

birthday? ━━ 10th September

favorite color? ━━ Dark Green and Red

favorite song? ━━ Oh that's a tough one but lets see I currently have a few! Symptoms of being human by Shinedown, The Pot by TOOL, My Demons by Starset, Meat and Great by Ice Nine Kills. Hell at at his point any song by Ice Nine will get me.

last movie you watched? ━━ School of Rock

last show you watched? ━━ Hannibal and Ghost Hunters

last song you listened to? ━━ Bad Things by I Prevail

favorite food? ━━ Lately I've been really loving Lasgna, especially if it comes from Olive Garden (the bread is soooo good). :p

favorite season? ━━ Temperature wise it's Spring/fall because its perfect temperature. Aestheically Its winter because so the snow, plus I like bundling up.

do you have a Tumblr best friend? ━━ I have a few people I am very close with. One special one is @runes-menagerie but of course Rune is more just that as she is literally my better half and puts up with my shit. @ferinehuntress and @shimmerbeasts I am extremely close with, there isn't a single day that we don't really talk to each other! Another who like those two but from a different fandom that I'll say here is @deathxproof. I talk to them just often! Other names that I consider good friends are @blackrosesmatron, @zaunseye,@playgroundmonsters, @restrainedhungr. There are others I've spoken to and I really love most of those I write with!!!

12. Do you prefer writing main or minor canon characters? & 0. Are there any characters you’d like to write with because you think the dynamic (Platonic, Romantic, Familial and so on) between Yelan and them would be fun to explore? @feilyne // Meme: For roleplay muns

12. Do you prefer writing main or minor canon characters? It's a bit of a toss-up, honestly, I seem to go from one to the other. I started RP in general with a very minor (if we can even call her minor, she was no more than a name) character back in the Vampire Diaries RPC in... 2012? Ended up growing in confidence and picked up the main characters a bit as a challenge and then that lingered. Since then, I've written big ones like Jace Herondale (book), Ezio Auditore, an MCU-based Tony Stark, Dorian Pavus, Oberyn Martell, Tifa Lockhart, and too many more; it's a bit of a flip between major and minor. Any I would like to maybe write one day are also a bit of a toss-up, because if you look at my current, most recent and future planned muses, they consist of Yelan, Kafka (Honkai: Star Rail), Guizhong, with Zhongli and Jingliu one day joining them. Again, a mix! I don't shy away from anything really, the character simply needs to poke my brain from the right angle and in the right way.

0. Are there any characters you’d like to write with because you think the dynamic (Platonic, Romantic, Familial and so on) between Yelan and them would be fun to explore? I love how you just added this most casually, bless you. Oof, my wishlist for interactions is much longer than my capability to write is (I lie, I'm just very slow), but considering how easy it is to move this woman I love a tad too much, yeah, there's quite a few. I'm hugely interested in her interactions within the Liyue Qixing, namely Ningguang, Uncle Tian (though I know that this one will be for the meta books) and even Keqing. I'm in love with Perilous Trail, which touches on already established interaction with Yanfei, another one I'm dying to write. The verbal confrontation between Xiao and Yelan in the Chasm has me tearing up seams, it's so good and it touches on such integrally painful parts of both of their characters, it's one of the ones topping the charts (not romantically, mind you). Beyond that, with her personal vendetta against Regrator, I of course crave interactions with Pantalones and Harbingers that can bring her closer to finding him, so namely Childe and Arlecchino (and in that, members of the House of the Hearth, hello Lynette and Lyney; Frem?). Because of the former, I desperately wanted to write with a Wriothesley (hi Min) that has become more than even I anticipated, and in that, it opens up the desire to write with a Neuvillette and also, unexpectedly, a Navia, because Spina di Rosula becomes quite an interesting ally (and in light of Childe's escape, you know). My list is honestly never-ending, I can't subject you to the Inazuman list, and even Sumeru because we know canonically that she travels. Hi, did you expect this to get this long? I'm just excited for so much, okay.
