AU where they used to casually date but now they have to go on a summer group trip

Vasio are horny for each other, but can't admit it because that would be admitting defeat.

Vasio where they used to casually see each other but it never got serious. When they do meet, they’re low key flirtatious. Maybe eventually they’ll get with each other.

When they go on group trips, they always get put in the same room (everyone thinks they’re fucking anyway). Va tolerates Ogt the most, so Sugi makes it a point to partner them together.

I like those episodes in anime when they’re go on a summer trip with friends. Vasio gets put in the same room for the week. Sugi didn’t want Ogt starting fights so he begged Va to room with Ogt. At least then Ogt would stay quiet.

In their vacation room, Va is the type to casually take his clothes off around Ogt. “We’ve already seen each other naked.” Ogt is annoyed but he’s competitive so he’ll take his clothes off too. There can only be one winner. (What the prize is, I don't know.)

I want Vasio to get stuck in THE WORST vacation room lmao. It’s smaller than the other rooms with a small bed and bath. The only nice thing about the room, it has an outdoor space. If Va agreed to room with Ogt, Sugi would give Va the room that has a private garden.

Small 8x10 room. There's a single-glass sliding door that takes up the entire wall. The glass-sliding door leads to the outdoor space. There's a short-wooden patio with overhang that hugs the building. It's a private garden that can only be accessed by this room. East facing window for morning light.

When they first see their vacation room, Ogt is pissed that the bed is small and calls Va dumb for agreeing to take this room. Va is too preoccupied drawing the flowers outside the glass door to retaliate.

The room is the farthest away from the others too. To get to their room, they have to walk to the end of the hall. Ogt gets drunk one night, and Va has to carry him through the hall. There are points where either Ogt or Va gets pushed against the wall by the other, not to be sexy, but because Ogt is drunk af.

Think of that scene in Chainsaw Man when Denji and Himeno come home drunk only for Himeno to trip and toss Denji into the kitchen stools.

▄︻══━一 ♡

The first night, they argue about who gets to sleep on the bed. Va lays on the bed first “We’ll both fit. We’ve done this before just sleep in my arms.” Ogt gets frustrated and tries pushing Va off the bed. They wrestle. Shiraishi hears the commotion coming from Vasios room and mentions to Sugi and Kiro (who are up late drinking) “See I told you, those two would fuck.”

Back in Vasios room, Ogt pins Va on the bed. Leaning dangerously close to Vas face, Ogt states “First off, I’d rather you be underneath me than be in your arms.” Va grins then shoves Ogts body off him. “No, I’ve decided I’ll sleep outside since you want the bed to yourself.”

It’s cooler at night, so sleeping outside will be pleasant. Va brings a pillow and sits crossed-legged on the patio. Ogt observes him from the bed before making his way outside to smoke a cigarette.

Ogt: The outdoor space is pretty nice… Va: Are you admitting you like the room? Ogt: I’m saying you’re not that dumb for taking the room.

Hearing this appeases Va who nods his head in agreement. Ogt finishes his cig before putting it out on the grass. He reaches down to shuffle Vas hair, “Don’t sleep outside, the bed can fit the both of us.”

▄︻══━一 ♡

On another night, Va gets hammered. Ogt with the help of Sugi, brings Va back to their room. After getting Va into the room and onto the bed, Ogt makes a bad joke about Sugi and Va hooking up. This sobers Sugi up, and he gets serious.

"Why do you have to be a such a dick all the damn time?" Exhausted, Sugi plops on the floor while Ogt opens a new pack of cigarettes to smoke outside. The glass door between them is left open.

"Vasily and I never fucked. You know this." Sugi's voice is mellow and low. It's sincere. Ogt always hated that about him. Hated how easy it was for Sugi to convey honesty, and mean it.

For a brief moment, memories of an argument between Ogt and Va reappear. Va trying desperately to convince Ogt that maybe, just maybe, it's possible that Va actually cared for him. Ogt shoves those memories back down by launching another attack at Sugi.

"Yeah sure, you were always the type to end up with women anyway." The obnoxious smirk on Ogts face is met with Sugi's sharp gaze. "I practically begged Va to room with you because I knew no one else could do it- put up with your bull shit." His words are firm, unwavering. "I don't care if you dislike me, but you should be more grateful towards him," Sugi nods his head towards the man who began rolling in bed.

Sugi shuts the door behind him, leaving Ogta with a dazed and dehydrated Vasily. Ogta sits on the bed beside Va and hands the waking man a bottle of water. Va sits up to drink, "Was Sugimoto in here?"

Ogt: Yeah... Va: He sounded piss. Ogt: He's always pissed- Va: -at you.

Va interrupts Ogt, but they both know it's true. "He's always pissed at you," Va states again. They look at each other in the eyes. Ogt breaks eye contact first, and nudges at the water bottle, "It's fine. Drink up and go back to sleep."

▄︻══━一 ♡

On the summer trip, Ogt loses to Va in a group activity. Ogts ego is hurt and he refuses to sleep in the same room as Va. Ogt tries sleeping on the couch in the living room, but Shiraishi, Kiro, and Sugi stay up late drinking. Kiro laughs loudly and Sugi talks too loud.

Defeated, Ogt returns to Vasios room and crawls into bed with Va. Va welcomes the black cat into his arms “I told you to stay.” “Shut up,” a brief insult to show that a defeated cat will still fight before closing his heavy eyelids for the night.

Alternative to Ogt crawling into bed with Va:

Ogt abruptly enters Vasios room then shuts the door behind him. He makes his way to the bed where Va sleeps and pulls the blanket up before pushing his way into the small bed.

Startled and half awake, Va groans “What is this? Weren’t you sleeping in the living room?” Ogt huffs and pushes his back against Va. “Shut up. Put your arms around me. That’s the only way we’ll fit in this damn bed.”

Va mumbles something in Russian that Ogt can’t understand. “Don’t act like you don’t want to hold me,” Ogt states dryly with his eyes shut. Va shifts his arms around Ogt and Va swears he can see a small smile forming on Ogts face.

crawling into papa's lap, nuzlling my face into his chest...

Papa pets my head and kisses my brow, "awww is my boy feeling clingy? It's ok baby, papa's right here. I'll always be here for you"

is this anything

[pigeonstab]

Sometimes I feel like for characterization the right way to go is to keep things from the audience. Like for Papyrus. There's a lot of stuff we don't see about Paps, and I feel like that's integral to his character (and Sans's) and if you remove that absence it ends up not feeling right. Does that make sense? Even if you extrapolate and you're correct about him, to make it feel like it does in undertale you have to keep the audience wondering.

Is Papyrus naive and ignorant or is he very aware? Whether you think one is right or wrong, in undertale the charm is that you can never tell. To make it feel like Papyrus you can't show evidence of either.

I feel like in trying to figure out Papyrus's inner psychology and apply it we forget that it's actually something that's meant to be hidden from the viewers.

[boredomincarnate16]

So, had this idea for this 546,690 character long document about this RPG videogame idea I had. Basically, when defeating robot/machine-based enemies, instead of them being outright destroyed like in many other games, they'd just be forced into a system shutdown, with their defeat animations reflecting this. Justa neat idea I had.

(The lore explanation for this is that you and your allies are NOT gonna pay for the damages should they outright destroy them. So they just inflict minor enough injuries on them to force them into a system shutdown).

(Also, I think, when coming up with this concept for robot/machine-based enemies when defeated, that I had this recruiting enemies as summons and being able to summon them as controllable party members with the same base stats and Skills in mind, so I did this as an alternative to them being destroyed. Since it'd be weird if you destroy a robotic/machine-based enemy, then recruit an enemy that's the same type of enemy as that enemy, which could've been interpreted as the one you destroyed. So yeah).

(Also, in case you're wondering WHY the document is so long, just blame my autism. Keep getting ideas for it every few hours or days. Give me enough time and it might be longer than the bible. Lmao).

Writer / Storyteller

Who are you as a writer? What experiences (personal and/or professional) have shaped your identity as a writer? Me? A writer? Gosh, I wouldn't go that far yet! I would describe my writing as less write-y and more storyteller-y. I've been running tabletop games with my friends since I was little and since then, I would say that I've developed my storyteller skills to a great extent! Though, since it is an improvisational game where all players and the GM (Game Master) has their own creative input, I've learned how to tell good stories on the fly, with little preparation, and with twists and turns that would make you dizzy. But actually putting writing to paper? Putting my thoughts into a coherent storyline? That's something I haven't dabbled much in. I've got good bones in me to have a head start in writing, but none of the practice. So that's what I'm hoping to achieve! Getting out there in the big scary world wide web and putting my words in the immortal ink of the internet!

[thisisnttakenyet]

Another Note

I think these notes are a bit funny, like I'm prefacing something that I haven't started yet. It's like a big declaration or something, with nothing to actually declare. Basically I haven't shared anything yet. Not because I haven't written, but because I keep going over my words over, and over, and over, thinking my first paragraph is very ironic. This doesn't seem very clear, and maybe it will later, but a short introduction. Hello! This will be the dumping grounds of my writing, but more specifically what's supposed to be my journal. Except the attention that I've imagined for myself in my head is not enough, so I've decided to throw my waste here. That's a bit harsh. Well anyway, whether this gets seen, or not—which being seen seems like the point since I've decided to throw what I've now dubbed "My Trash" here in public domain—it's mostly for myself. I think the act of sharing is good not for the aspect of being seen, but more for being willing to be seen. And I think I need to start practicing. So nice to meet you! I hope that maybe we both stick around.

Kindred Lovers AU

Toxic lovers into kindred love, modern AU where Ogt and Va meet at university. They develop an unhealthy relationship only to separate and reunite years later.

Vasio brain rot. I binge posted this on twit, lost 2 followers, now I've compiled and posted them here. Loose style writing. Think of it as notes.

I might draw segments of this, or add onto the AU later.

Segment 1

➽──────────────❥

Ogt and Va meet at university in Japan. They're undergraduate students. They start as a fling then it turns into a situationship.

Their relationship gets messy. They’re both terrible partners. Ogt has jealousy issues. Va has an avoidant attachment style. Ogt gets involved with other people.

Va decides he’s had enough. For his last semester, Va transfers out of the university without Ogt knowing. Ogt sends him some nasty messages because of course he does. Va never responds.

Years pass. After undergrad, Ogt pursued dental school. Va graduated in Japan then went back to Russia.

They’re in their 30s now. After years of schooling in Tokyo, Ogta gets tired and he decides to start a private practice in Ibaraki. In the small town, there’s a rumor of a foreign painter who has moved in.

He’s tall, handsome with blond hair and piercing blue eyes. Ogt doesn’t think much of it until someone mentions the last name Pavlichenko.

While closing his practice, Ogt latches the door key. There’s a distinct voice in the distance. Ogt looks up. His eyes catch a few strands of blond hair being whiffed by the wind. A pair of blue eyes that are too familiar.

The lips of the man that disappeared so many years ago softly part and faintly speaks, “… Ogata?”

Segment 2

➽──────────────❥

Even though it’s been years, Va is quite happy to see Ogt again. In front of Ogts private practice, Va quickly grabs Ogtas hand. In a soft tone, Va asks how he’s been doing. Va wasn’t expecting to run into him in such a small town.

For a brief moment, Ogt ignores his hand being held as closed off feelings of buried jealousy creeps back up again. “What? I've told you Ibaraki is where I’m from-“ His usually cold hands turn warm from Vas palm. The change in temperature makes Ogt snap out of it.

“Forget it.” Ogt shakes off Vas hand and abruptly walks away.

The rest of the AU is Va and Ogt trying to mend things. They’re older now with more experience and patience.

Va has learned to communicate openly. Those years back in Russia, Ilya really drilled into him that Va needed to change. Ogt has had several lovers since they’ve separated but they’ve never ended well. Eventually he gave up on partnership to focus on schooling.

Their second time running into each other is at a small-local bar. Va gets a chance to apologize to Ogt and Ogt listens. They get a bit drunk. Ogt catches himself reaching for Vas hand a few times and he touches Vas forearm. Playfully, Ogt pushes Vas shoulder-

Ogts light touches send electric currents through Vas body making him realize the man he left behind was the one he should have stayed with. He wonders if he should tell Ogt this, but decides to mediate over those feelings later.

Segment 3

➽──────────────❥

It’s a bit of a slow burn. Va desires more of Ogtas touch and he'll brush his finger tips against Ogtas wrist whenever he gets the chance. Doesn’t matter if they’re alone or in public. Although he likes Va, Ogt is apprehensive.

His burns from Va suddenly leaving him all those years ago have stayed with him. His failed relationships have made it worse. Ogt isn’t the most receptive to physical touch, but he will reach for Vas hand when they’re alone.

One night after bar hopping, they walk back arm-in-arm to Ogtas apartment. Va insisted it was too cold for Ogta to walk alone and Va insisted on accompany him.

Ogt: Really? It's not even snowing. Va: I know how you are. You get cold easily. Ogt: It can't be helped... Va: Then it's decided. Let's go.

Shamelessly, Va grabs Ogt by the hand before wrapping his arm around Ogatas. Together, they begin their walk back. A light blush develops on both of their faces.

It’s a quiet night. They stand in front of Ogts apartment complex for a while making small conversation. Neither of them want to part, but it doesn’t feel right to continue the night any further.

Va reaches his arms out toward Ogt as an invitation for a hug. Ogtas mind hesitates, but his body naturally leans forward to accept Vas embrace. It’s warm, safe, enduring.

Ogt feels Vas face brush against his own to settle against the crevice of his neck. The condensation of Vas breath in the cold air builds against Ogts exposed skin. The closeness of bodies proves to be too much. Between his arms, Va feels Ogt lightly jerk away.

Va knows it’s a queue to stop the embrace and let’s go. Blushing red, Va departs after wishing Ogt a good night.

Segment 3.5

➽──────────────❥

10-15 minutes pass by after Va left Ogts apartment. He gets a message from Ogt. “Hey I had fun tonight. Thanks for walking me back. You’re right I might have froze to death. I might have made the hug awkward.”

Va smiles and responds shortly “your hands are too cold.” They send each other messages for the next hour. Va mentions wanting to try the cafe around the corner. Ogt offers to take him.

They fall asleep in separate beds, in separate apartments, both still holding their phones in their hands.

Segment 4

➽──────────────❥

It’s been a few months since Ogt and Va reconnected in Ibaraki. The warmer weather allowed for more outdoor activities and Ogt promised to take Va to the coast.

Both men seemed more like small children when they explored the tide pools. Ogtas always been fearless. He picked up small creatures with his hands, and no matter what it was, whether it be a crab or small octopus, Va took interest in it.

While exploring the wooded areas, Ogt found a bit of gray squirrel fur. It looked like it had been plucked during a squirrel fight. Up until this point, Va was interested in everything Ogt showed him even large beetles.

Va was busy sketching in his book when Ogt approached him. “Hey open your hand. I want to show you something.” Ogts hand was clasped tightly and Va wondered what he could be holding.

Va obediently held his hand out and Ogt dropped the squirrel fur into his hand. Once Va realized what it was, he shrieked and tossed the squirrel fur onto the ground. This was when Ogt learned Va hated squirrels.

Ogt picked up the small piece of fur and proceeded to chase the taller man around in circles. Grabbing Ogts wrist, Va speaks to Ogt in erratic Russian ordering him to drop the fur. Vas speaking so frantically, Ogt bursts into laughter. The fur slips through Ogts held hands.

Vas breathing slows down as he watches Ogt tear up from laughter. He's never seen Ogt laugh so much, and he wants to witness it more often. “You don’t like squirrels?” Ogt chuckled. He doesn’t seem to notice Va pulling on his wrist to bring him closer.

Va doesn’t answer right away. He seemed more concerned with remembering the fine details of Ogts bright face. Under his breath, Va finally gives an answer, “No, I like you though...” Va lets go of Ogts wrist to place his hands on Ogts waist.

By the time Ogt noticed the change in touch, Vas lips faintly hovered over his own. “Is this okay?” Va whispered gently, waiting for a response. Ogt found himself gazing into clear blue eyes that have softened with age.

Ogt nodded his head in agreement. A hushed response so quiet, Va might have missed it, “Yes.”

Ogt leaned forward and placed his lips against Vas. Their arms intertwined. Hands find soft holds against warm bodies under the shade of a tree.

➽──────────────❥

Stuff I'll add on later:

Vas time back in Russia. Appearance of Ilya. (yay)

General thoughts about their sex life during university and post-reuniting.

[salami-dono]

I had this random idea for a Rouge the Bat and Dr. Jester story. They dress up for a fancy auction, most likely a gem auction, to steal two rare crystals. It must've been inspired by the Pink Panther theme song and Lupin III.

Rouge wants a pink topaz and Dr. Jester has his eye on a botryoidal fluorite specimen resembling a Japanese mochi donut. Dr. Jester is interested in it for its utility. (No, he is not going to eat it.) The pink topaz is an extremely rare and beautiful gemstone that belongs in Rouge's collection.

I have no idea how auctions work. And what if they should stumble upon some other criminal activity? Will they miss their chance?

I considered having Dr. Jester attempt to appear less robotic for the heist. He doesn't have to be there. He could assist Rouge remotely. Or accompany her as a cute, little robot! I'd just like to see him wearing a flashy suit. A dress code would be fun.

[parachutingkitten]

When will the next chapter of your fanfic be out?

That's a great question. I was wondering that too. Maybe you have a good way to contact my creative drive? I've had a hard time getting a hold of it in any sort of useful way recently...

Smut writers feel free to write this! (Feminine pronouns used but feel free to change it!) (+18/MDNI)

FYI: I'm not a writer nor good at this! Just thirsty:)

I had a filthy thought of being railed by Price in the common area outside the bathrooms and Gaz accidentally walks in 👀 (gifs below inspired me).

////

You were being bratty/needy as fuck even though you knew it was a hectic day, especially for him. At first you felt a little hurt that he brushed you off the first time when you started kissing his neck while he was signing some paperwork for the next mission. "Not now, doll. Can't you see I'm busy?" He murmured the last words almost as a whisper so you know that it's the work that's annoying him and not you.

"Come on, Captain, can't you take a little break for your girl?" You purred in his ear, hands slowly trailing down his chest over the tight military shirt he knows drives you crazy when he wears it (he was about to throw it away because it was too tight on him until he saw you practically drooling and being the lil shit he is, he started wearing it more often)

"Don't you have anything more productive to do, private, than bother your Captain?" Oh now it's on. His tone was serious as if he was scolding a child, making you stand up straight, rolling your eyes at his typical way of treating you when you're 'overstepping'.

"You weren't complaining this morning about my productivity, Captain." You reply to his dismissive comment, full of sarcasm, crossing your arms over your chest as you make your way in front of his desk. "In fact, you were quite content with my mouth on your c-" a knock on the door makes you take 3 steps back, a playful smirk on your face as you watch Price take a deep breath trying to process both your boldness and someone almost walking in on you, talking about your forbidden affair with him.

"Uh, is this a bad time?" Kyle awkwardly says, holding the door open not daring to walk inside, obviously uncomfortable from the staring contest you and Price share, neither backing down.

"No, Sergeant, private Y/L/N was just leaving." Price mumbles with a raised eyebrow, only turning his gaze towards the door for a second then back at you, indicating that you have to leave before he actually gets mad.

On your way out, you briefly touch Kyle's arm, give him a small smile before exiting Price's office. You know John is a confident man. In his skills, his work, the way he carries himself with authority in every room he steps in. The only thing that makes him feel uneasy is when younger men try to steal your attention. Not because he doesn't trust you, he knows that the second he asks for you to get on your knees, you comply better than any soldier he ever had to command to follow an order and he always praises you for it.

"Look at my eager girl, so desperate to please her Captain huh?"

"Eyes up when you take me in, I want to stare into those pretty eyes, soldier."

"You can't be disrespectful with your mouth full, now can you?"

The insecurity that you could fall for a younger, charming man always creeps in his mind yet he pushes the thought away, cursing himself at the possibility he might have stronger feelings for you than just the physical pleasure you two share almost every night.

/

10:30pm. You've been staring at the clock on the wall an hour now, waiting for the right time to come. You know Price always goes into the showers at this exact time, every single night before he goes to sleep as the showers are always empty. Exhausted soldiers and staff always in bed by then, leaving the luxury of a quiet, warm shower to himself.

You step into the common area timidly, checking if anyone's around but as expected, you find it empty and cold like it always is this late at night. No sound but the water running inside the nearest shower and the fast beating of your anxious heart as you slowly strip naked. It scares you how bad you want him, how he's your first thought in the morning and the last before you fall asleep. How you, a strong, independent and confident woman can feel so fragile, so desperate to please his every desire, how the second he asks you to go to his room, you waste no time, trailing behind him like a lost puppy. It's pathetic really, but for him? You'd do far worse.

With nothing but a towel wrapped around your naked body, you slowly push the curtain of the shower back, taking in the full sight in front of you. Yeah, you'd do anything for him and he knows it. He doesn't even flinch or turn around, he knows it's you. It's always you. You can see the smirk playing on his lips before he speaks with that husky, deep voice that makes your knees go weak, every fucking time.

"I don't fuck you one day and you come running to me, hm?" Price turns around slowly, eyeing you up and down before his fingers touch the top of the towel, softly caressing your skin. "Desperation looks so fucking good on you sweetheart" He leans closer to whisper in your ear before his fingers make the towel drop on the wet floor, the cold air sending a shiver down your spine as he pushes you gently out of the shower, to the nearest wall.

"I left my girl all needy and now I have to make up for it, don't I?" He whispers on your neck as his lips leave wet, sloppy kisses on your burning skin. Before you can lean back onto the wall to enjoy his attention, he places his hand on your back and with a swift move, pushes you in the common area. The look of surprise on your face as you turn to look at him must be the best entertainment he has had the last couple of days.

"What if someone walks in? Can't we go back into the shower?" You grab the nearest towel but before you can wrap it around yourself, he backs you up against the cold table in the middle of the room, both his hands placed on each side of you so you can't move.

"You wanted to sneak up on me and couldn't wait until I finished my shower." You open your mouth to answer with a pathetic excuse you know damn well wouldn't work on him but his hands cut you off before you even try, lifting you up from your thighs onto the cold steeled table. "You know it is the only time I get to have some peace and quiet but you being the greedy little slut that you are, couldn't wait a few more minutes huh?" He raises his voice, tone changed into the one he always uses when you're being a brat and fuck, you wouldn't want it any other way. The smirk forming on your lips and the intentional roll of your eyes must have pressed a button as he pushes your shoulders down so now you're laying on the table, feeling his hands trail down from your waist to your thighs, pushing them open.

"Now you're gonna get fucked like you want so bad, out in the open. If you behaved nicely, you'd be laying down on a soft bed but you decided to be a brat tonight" His grip tightens around your thighs, certain to leave bruises, as he lowers himself so his head is inches away from your soaked entrance, his eyes piercing yours, not breaking eye contact like his life depends on it.

"And you're gonna get treated like one." With one quick move he puts both of your legs on his shoulders, dragging you across the table, the cold metal and unexpected action letting a loud moan leave your mouth before you cover it with your palm in an attempt to stay quiet, unsuccessfully so.

"What the-" Oh fuck. You freeze in your tracks as a second voice comes from behind the lockers, making you jump up immediately. Your terrified gaze slowly meets Kyle's equally frightened eyes as his mouth hangs open to the sight in front of him, frozen in place with only a towel wrapped around his waist. You knew it was risky, just because the showers were always empty around that time, didn't mean that an exception was out of the question. It just happened to be tonight.

"I'm just gonna- fuck, I- bye" Gaz mumbles quickly, the confusion of this unfortunate, awkward encounter visibly written on his face but before he can walk out, so you can die comfortably in shame, the next sentence makes your blood run cold.

"Not so fast, Sergeant." Price commands, his expression unbothered if not unsurprising, like he wanted this to happen. He wanted someone to walk in.

"You're gonna sit on that chair and you're gonna watch how brats like her deserve to be treated."

Vasio dentist Ogt musings on Twit

A scene:

Dentist Ogt: “ah Pavlichenko? That’s a unique last name." Shifts his eyes from the papers to Va, then glances away.

Ogt fumbling with dental tools, “If a woman were to come in here with that last name, I’d think she were your wife.” Ogt casts a sharp gaze at Va then smirks, waiting for a response.

Caught off guard, Va sits in the patient chair then states confidently “There is no wife. I’m not married, actually-“ he tilts his head back to meet Ogata’s gaze. “I’m single.”

Ogt *mask on* for a brief second, cocks his eyebrow up in curiosity. “Really now…? Men like you don’t stay single for very long in Japan.”

Ogt firmly grasp an elongated dental tool with his hand and gently grazes the blunt top with his thumb.

Va catches himself staring at Ogts hand gestures before recomposing himself. Va grins and asks clearly, projecting his voice so there’s no way Ogt could mishear him “Would you know that from experience?”

End scene.
