actually (thinking) you know my biggest problem with the connor/isolde/circle option in redcliffe is that like. the mages just felt like too much of a clear cut "good guy" choice. which i always felt was a little out of place in a game where one of the biggest central themes is how being a leader is all about making difficult decisions and every choice you make involves a sacrifice. also its just kind of insane to me that in the very same questline where if you leave too early at the beginning the entire fucking village gets butchered because YOU DECIDED TO FUCK OFF ON A FIELD TRIP IN THE MIDDLE OF A ZOMBIE ATTACK, you're explicitly told time is of the essence and the situation with connor will only ever get worse if left unaddressed but you can just be like ok but what if i take a quick detour all the way across that damn ass lake and back. and then nothing happens. man teagan and jowan even all but beg you not to waste time like that because they dont know if they can keep the situation stable until then and NOTHING HAPPENSSSS

but you know what if something actually did happen. like if you decided to take that third option instead of making the hard call right then and there, then the situation Did get worse and when you came back to redcliffe the castle was massacred. isolde and connor survived but the guards, whats left of the servants, teagan, maybe even jowan got picked off one by one by connor's demon while you were gone. i think it works as both a relatively still altruistic option that saves the kid and doesnt sacrifice your personal ethics while also giving some consequences to your actions. its also just much more in line with how the game keeps beating you over the head with the "You Are Loghain. the only thing you can decide is how much of a bastard youre gonna be" energy of origins

my prompt has been extremely fulfilled but im just putting this out in the universe… maxiel or lestappen, with a Significant age difference where max is inexperienced, like a shy blushing type. and oop, daddy kink unlocked…. 🙂‍↕️

obviously, again, this has gotten out of hand. in the name of the father, the son, and the holy coldplums, I gift to you all the reason for my relative radio silence: maxiel corporate boytoy.

I've got. hmmmm. about 8k of it written at the moment, so I'm posting the first few chunks for you all to read. here is 2.5k of exposition, alternating POV's. HI: kink prompt. obviously. explicit content ahead.

pairings: daniel ricciardo/max verstappen

relevant heads up: power imbalance, age difference, work environment that would make an HR department cry. dirtbag daniel (somewhat), inexperienced max.

Daniel doesn't really keep up with the interns- supposedly he's been observing them all year, narrowing them down the best ones, the perfect fit for the company.

In reality, he pays them no mind and lets the supervisors tell him who they want. It's a good system, and it hasn't failed him yet.

He's walking with Blake down across the loft portion of the fourth floor- he can see down across the glass at some of the other levels, and it still blows his mind sometimes that everyone he can see works for him.

Blake is nattering on about the next fiscal year's budget- Daniel will pay attention to it when the paperwork is on his desk, and not a moment sooner. His eyes are bouncing around, landing on familiar and unfamiliar faces, older and experienced supervisors training the young blood.

His attention snags. There's someone across the walkway, half leaning over a desk and gesturing at something on a monitor. Daniel is more distracted at the way his slacks fit, hugging his thighs and narrowing into a waist that Daniel immediately wants to take a bite out of.

He's not sure when they started hiring pornstars.

"Blake- who is that? Over by Scarlett's desk."

Blake looks confused for a moment before his face lights up in recognition.

"Oh! That's Max- he's one of the interns for the year, and he's really good on the numbers end- kid's got a real solid brain in him. I was actually hoping to talk to you about him- he's my favorite intern I've ever had in the department, and I think he'd be really good full time."

Daniel thinks he'd be really good bent over the desk. All the way.

"Yeah, for sure man. Well bring him on board."

"Uh, Dan?"

Daniel's still walking, but he's pivoted his course, making his way over to Scarlett's desk. She and Max have their heads together- probably trying to actually do Daniel's company some good, honest work.

Daniel doesn't care.

There's more details as Daniel gets closer- Max has blonde hair, just on the side of too short around the back of his head, slightly longer at the top. It's gelled, which- they can fix that. If the women in the company don't break him of the habit, Daniel will just change the dress code.

His shoulders are broad under the white button up, which really adds to the waist thing he's got going on- Daniel wants to wrap his hands around him, see if it feels as perfect as it looks.

He's definitely not complaining about his back view though- Max has a cute ass. Daniel wants to put teeth marks in it.

Scarlett notices them approaching, straightening up.

"Daniel! Blake! This is Max, our finance and accounting intern for the year. Max, this is Daniel- you should know who he is, and Blake- you should also know who he is."

Max spins around, and Daniel wants to hire him on the spot. He's got a unique face- European of some kind, probably. He also has a perfect set of DSL's.

Max smiles, eyes scrunching up into little crescents. There's a freckle on his lip.

"Hello! Mr. Friend, it is of course nice to meet you again. It is nice to meet you as well, Mr. Ricciardo."

Oh, he has a lisp. They're definitely keeping him.

"Just Blake is fine, Max. Dan over here prefers his first name too- everything else is too stuffy. We're not that kind of workplace."

Daniel reaches out to shake Max's hand- he has long fingers, blunt squared off nails. No jewelry, and most importantly- no ring.

He flashes Max his best smile, and the kid goes a bit red, cheeks flushing as his eyes dart away for a moment.

Bingo. Point for Daniel.

Daniel likes the way he blushes, wonders how deep it can get, how far it can go.

"So Max- how do ya like working for the company?"

Daniel keeps his voice light, but his eyes are locked on Max. To his credit, Max doesn't look away again, holds his gaze as he starts talking.

"It is very nice! The teamwork is helpful, and everyone has been kind."

He talks with his hands, which reminds Daniel of the Italian side of his family- although with the accent, Max has got to be some kind of Northern European.

"Glad to hear it, Maxy."

Ding ding! Another point for Daniel.

Max goes red, stuttering over his words for a moment. Daniel drinks it in, the way Max is completely derailed, just at the nickname. He's cute.

Daniel gives him another smile as he starts walking away again- and then a lightning quick wink, just to see the way Max blinks, like a deer in headlights.

Blake lets them get out of earshot before he starts complaining.

"Dan, mate- do not fuck my intern, please. I want him to stick around."

Daniel's grinning, hands in his pockets. This day is going great.

"Relax, Blake. I'm not going to fuck your intern."

Blake eyes him suspiciously.

"Really? Because those are kind of your textbook steps on the way to getting laid."

Daniel whistles, thinking about the rest of the day. He'll cater lunch to the finance department, as a little treat. Make up some shit about good budgeting.

"I'm going to fuck my employee. There's a difference."

Blake stops in his tracks for a moment.

"Dan. You cannot seriously tell me you're going to poach one of the brightest minds to come through my department to get your dick wet man, come on."

Daniel shrugs.

"I'll let you give him some busywork- not too much though, I'll be keeping him occupied."

Blake rolls his eyes.

"Busy on his knees, maybe."

Daniel snaps his fingers, shooting him finger guns. This is why he likes Blake- he gets him.

"Exactly! I'm buying your department lunch, what do you guys like?"

"Oh sweet- there's this Greek place a couple blocks over-"

------

None of the other interns even stood a chance- Max is unofficially hired four months before the end of the internship period.

It doesn't look as biased as Daniel had wondered- Max really does stand out from the other interns in terms of the quality of his work, and he gets along well with the team.

It would be a shame Daniel isn't actually interested in that from him, if not for the way that he's just so cute. Daniel's a bit hedonistic, believes in having fun, and Max definitely looks like fun.

He's gone ahead and let Blake handle telling Max about his responsibilities shift- he's got some bullshit analytics job Daniel hadn't even known they had. The important thing is that it requires him to visit Daniel often. He normally hates being interrupted, but this is one he won't mind, not if it means getting to tease Max in the relative privacy of his office.

Now he just has to wait.

------

Max carefully flicks through his printed report. He's nervous- everyone has said Daniel is nice, but he also has a famous hatred for paperwork, and Max is about to dump some on his desk. He'd seemed friendly enough in the few moments he'd talked to Max, even if Max had thoroughly embarrassed himself, stumbling over his words and losing his train of thought.

He knows he's checked for typos a million times, but this final check is the most important. The new responsibilities on Max's plate aren't quite what he was doing before, but he's up for the challenge.

He checks the last page, satisfied, before tugging at the end of his shirt sleeves, hopes he looks presentable enough to be going to the top floor. He's never really gone higher than six- certainly has never had a need to go to eight, where Daniel's office is.

The elevator ride is quick, and Max is on the eighth floor sooner than he'd like.

He passes Blake's office on his way to Daniel's, who gives him a weird little half salute- odd, but most CFO's are.

Daniel's door is closed. Max had really been hoping it would be open- having to knock is stressing him out. He's not sure if Daniel is in a meeting, or has guests, or anything.

Surely his report can't be this important. Technically, his report should be able to go to Blake, but- that's none of Max's business.

He breathes out slow before he raises his fist and knocks, knuckles rapping firmly against the door.

There's a moment of silence during which Max assumes he's about to be fired- before he's even officially hired on, which would surely be some kind of office record.

"Come in."

Daniel's voice is clear, and Max pushes the door open, slips inside. Daniel is leaned back in his chair, one ankle crossed over his other knee. His suit jacket is open, and the first few buttons of his shirt are undone, showcasing his neck- long golden skin, the kind of tan Max could never manage.

"Hey, Maxy. Whatcha got for me?"

Max wills his fingers not to shake as he steps forward, shoes quiet in the plush flooring of Daniel's rug.

"I have- from the last quarter, the missing earnings report."

Daniel's eyes are... not on Max's face. He hopes he hasn't somehow spilled something on himself.

"Yeah?"

Max nods.

Daniel moves his mouse, minimizes his monitor screens before moving a stack of binders off of the side of his desk.

"Sit, tell me about it."

Max blinks, confused. There's no chair across from Daniel's desk- and he doesn't think he's being asked to sit on the floor.

"Sit..?"

Daniel nods at the space he's cleared on the desk, and Max's heart jumps into his throat- it feels inappropriate somehow, but Daniel is saying it's okay, so-

He's not quite tall enough, has to do a little hop braced on his hand to get up there, and one of Daniel's hands is hovering near his waist- maybe in case he falls.

Max clears his throat, tries to ignore the heat in his face.

"So, the materials department, and their quarterly budget-"

------

Daniel is very pleased with himself. Sure, Blake looks annoyed every time he has to bring his own chair with him to talk to Daniel, but it's a small price to pay for what Daniel gets in return.

He's been carefully inching the clear space on the desk closer to him- Max is so delightfully nervous about sitting on his desk, even two weeks after he'd made him do it the first time.

Daniel is taking things slow with him- slower than he normally would, but that's because he's been accused of playing with his food.

He can't help it- Max is too cute. The way he's just slightly too short, has to do a little hop, the way he squeezes his thighs together to try not to take up space- Daniel wants to take a bite out of him.

He's being patient.

It's especially delicate today- the space Daniel has cleared, the only available space on the desk- it's practically right in front of Daniel. He has his chair scooted back a bit, so that Max won't feel like he's directly in his lap, but- he might as well be.

He's looking forward to it, and if he's lucky Max will really go pink. Surely he notices when he's bright red, but he always powers through anyways.

Blake walks into his office, doesn't bother knocking- everyone else knows Daniel doesn't care for it, but he likes when Max does it.

He sighs, leaning his hip against the desk.

"Would you just fuck him already, please? He's a phenomenal worker Dan, I'd like to actually take advantage of that."

Daniel smiles at him.

"What, you don't want to sit on my desk and tell me that?"

Blake rolls his eyes, and he has the expression Daniel knows means he's begging for divine patience.

"You're toying with him, Dan."

Daniel shrugs, twisting a pen between his fingers, spinning it like a drumstick.

"Yeah babe, that's the point. He's cute like that- perfect little toy, I kind of want to wrap him in a bow. But I'm being patient, Blake, I thought you wanted me to work on that?"

Blake snorts, snatching the pen from Daniel's fingers.

"I meant that in terms of company growth and you know it. But I'll keep the ribbon thing in mind for the office Christmas party, how's that?"

"You do love me!"

------

Max straightens his stack of papers. He's got another report ready, and he's splashed cold water on his face, a reminder that Daniel is his boss- his boss boss, the CEO. Just because he's terribly attractive doesn't mean Max gets to drool over him.

Not to mention- he's so busy there's almost never space on the desk, so Max is probably just a passing blip in his day, barely noticeable.

The elevator dings as the doors slide open, and Max gives Blake a small wave as he passes by his office door. He's not sure what's endeared him to Blake, but the CFO treats him somewhat fondly, in a way that's almost demeaning. Max can't figure it out.

Blake waves back anyways, and then Max is knocking on Daniel's door again.

A beat of silence, and then Daniel is calling him in, but he has a finger pressed to his lips when Max slips inside, and Max freezes. There's voices from one of Daniel's monitors, and Max moves back towards the door, only for Daniel to snap his fingers at him.

Max looks back over and Daniel gestures at his desk, moving his mouse for a moment.

"C'mere, it's fine- I'm almost done."

There's not- Max looks for his usual space by the corner, but it's messy again, the only space is along the edge right in the middle, directly in front of Daniel.

Surely Daniel doesn't mean...

Daniel quirks an eyebrow and Max shoves the doubt down, carefully hopping up onto the desk. Daniel's camera doesn't look like it's on, thankfully, but he's afraid to even breathe as they all exchange their goodbyes.

Daniel chimes in with his own, and then he's leaning forward, chest between Max's knees as he reaches past him to fiddle with the speakers, one palm pressing on Max's thigh to support himself.

Max feels the heat of his palm like a brand. He's frozen still- his face has to be bright red, there's no way it isn't. He fights not to squeeze his thighs together, ignores the warmth starting to pool in his gut.

Daniel just wants to talk about quarter reports.

More like listen to Max talk about quarter reports, but the point remains the same.

Daniel gives Max's thigh a little pat as he leans back, grinning at him.

"Sorry about that babe, meeting went long. What do you have for me?"

Max swallows, tries to pull himself back together.

"So I noticed in the fiscal budget for 2016 a few years ago..."

I think something that probably takes up a good 3/4 of my thinking space is like. How does the scum villain timeline work so that shang qinghua dies and transmigrates into pidw as a little babe yet still finishes writing it but shen yuan transmigrates post peak lord inauguration????? like i absolutely cannot come up with an explanation for this at all because it would make sense if they were transmigrated into different worlds within the pidw universe so that's not right either..... of course there's also the usual Space And Time Fuckery but that explanation just feels sooooo lackluster.... IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE

and also what is the criteria to be transmigrated into a certain character????? like do u have to share a last name (i.e. 沈垣 transmigrates into 沈九 / 沈清秋) which means that airplanes last name would be 尚 something.... obviously it's not someone that matches their personality because if that was it i think that shen yuan would have transmigrated into like.. maybe mu qingfang WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY INGERESTING CAN SOMEONE EXPLORE THAT

maybe it's the character that they hate the most??? because shen yuan blames shen jiu for the way bingge turned out to be and is kinda the reason everything happened so maybe airplane hated shang qinghua??? maybe because he was close to mobei (his dream man) and absolute canon fodder???? but i don't know how realistic that is IDK IDKKKKK

i think another solid argument would be the character that they look most similar to. we know that shen yuan looks Really Really similar to shen jiu which is why sha hualing kidnapped him in the vegetable body to make bing happy and shen yuan has described his former self as "a dispirited pretty boy sitting around waiting to die" (i will expand on this in another post i have so many thoughts on this) which would also make sense for airplane to transmigrate into shang qinghua because dream man = guy who knows dream man = self insert character whether subconscious or otherwise...... i don't know i need someone else's input you guys 😭😭😭

I feel like with the rapidly increasing amount of young boys being radicalised in today's society, a Boq redemption is absolutely necessary, and I genuinely mean this. I think a lot of young boys would benefit from seeing a character who's been hurt and is angry realise that he's been blaming the wrong people for his problems and that the real people who are to blame are the ones in power, the ones who created the system.

[bits-and-beasts]

some general thoughts for perfect illusion,

essentially, starscream's cover gets blown after a VERY long time, (thanks to soundwave) and he winds up having to go back to the autobots, there's a great deal of distrust, and most people -(besides ratchet and Optimus, who where both in on the situation in case of emergencies) -think its just another one of scream's tricks,

not to mention the entirety of the deception army wants him EVEN MORE dead than they already did when they just hated him for being a nuisance,

fun times all around

[thee-horny-thicky]

Toji and Sukuna obviously have a lot of sexual experience, but out of the OG Jujutsu Tech crew, Nanami is the guy with the most experience. Satoru was busy being the strongest and mourning what he had with Suguru, and Suguru was busy running a cult, raising children, and poorly plotting world dominance. Nanami may be chronically tired, but that doesn't stop him from pulling.

And pull does he do.

He's not one for frequent one night stands, but it isn't unheard of for him to leave his shitty salary job, and head to the bar. Being a delectable specimen, he gets a lot of attention. And sometimes, a lucky lady catches his eye, and they go on a trip to pound town.

However, he prefers relationships, even if they don't last long. His exit from Jujutsu society allowed him to explore, giving him freedom that his former classmates lacked. By the time he returned to Jujutsu Tech, he was in a dry spell, but crushing on a certain bakery girl. Prior to that, though, he'd racked up a respectable body count.

Most of these bodies came from his college days, before he had the weight of a stressful job, and after the trauma he endured at Jujutsu Tech. That trauma left him hollow, losing his best friend haunting him. So, he tried to fill the hole with sex and alcohol.

Did he succeed? No. Did he have a good time? Yes, yes he did.

Random Stranger Things winter h/c!

Yeah it's kinda dumb, ik, but I saw a thing on Pinterest and wanted to post my thoughts here. The Party (originals, sorry Max and El) in wintertimmmeeeee. Just some shitty short headcanons.

Dustin: Cozy! Likes to be warm (also his mom makes him). He wears a heavy winter coat with a sweater underneath, red-and-black plaid hat with earflaps and the little rope-tassel thingies that look like pigtails, two scarfs, and mittens. Some of the guys tease him, but he's comfy so whatever.

Lucas: Yk those eighth grade boys? Shorts and a hoodie when it's bitterly cold? Yeah, meet Lucas Sinclair. He's the one that says 'it's not even cold out!' as he shivers like crazy. Dustin usually calls him a dumbass and spends half of their ride to school offering him a scarf. Lucas always gives in. It's like clockwork.

Mike: He's pretty standard. Would probably be pulling a Lucas if it weren't for his mom urging him to wear something warm (This is met with groaning, but he secretly appreciates it). He has his blue s5 jacket, a grey beanie, and his mom's winter boots. He kept that last bit a secret from the guys, but Will knows and sometimes teases him.

Will: Without Vecna, he does not, in fact, like it cold. But he's always chilly on the bike ride over. He has Jonathan's hand-me-down winter coat, which is a little too big, and not much else. On the especially chilly days Mike gives up his beanie to Will. Will protests this, but inside is screaming with happiness. Mike acts like it's not a big deal but his ears freeze.

N yeah. There's the Hawkins Winter Attire. :)

Design notes on how Michaela would look like as a fallen angel. I only have her fallen on a Rite of Defilement route save, but the visuals would be the same in other situations too. Like, if alternatively she fell in love with someone else instead of Sydney, she would eventually be willing to fall for them.

I also think if she was a LI, if you raised love and other possible stats to the max, she'd be ready to fall as an angel just to be yours ♡
