Fic authors self rec!♡

When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love❤

^^^^ saw this and thought of you!! No pressure, but I'd love to know what your five faves are!

Hey hi, sorry I'm just getting around to this, but you know I can't pass up an opportunity to talk about myself and my fics so sure! Picking only five is hard tbh, I'm kind of a fan of my own work (because I wrote it for meeeee lmao) butttt I narrowed it down. I'm excluding Pain Management because that's my only multi-chapter, so I'm just comparing one-shots against each other.

Links and explanations under the cut (cw for discussing a couple works that feature incest/stepcest):

Have Mercy (Franky x reader)

Say what you will about One Piece men, Franky is the most husband-coded character to me, and making him Reader's "one that got away" absolutely breaks my heart. But also I like to think Reader brags about having routinely been hitting that once his wanted posters start getting around.

Runs in the Family (Rosinante Donquixote x sister!reader)

This was deeply fucked-up and the thought of it was vexing me for weeks until I got it all down. I have a lot of headcanons about how incestual the Celestial Dragons and their descendants are, and I like to think Rosi was convinced he was above it all, had escaped the inevitable. But sometimes, you can only run so long before that which you tried to avoid catches up to you.

Between What Was and What Will Be (stepdad!Shanks x reader)

Oh boy, this was one that I just had a super-clear idea for in my head and it was driving me insane until I wrote it. I think I finished this in a weekend. The most important theme of this is that daddy kinks are passé, dad kinks are in. (I'm JOKING, it's about shared trauma and what defines family and breaking taboos.)

A Ride for a Ride (taxi driver!Zoro x reader) / Compliments to the Chef (linecook!Sanji x reader)

Pairing these together because they're both Slimeball AU works and also linked by the same Reader. I had such a fucking blast writing them both, feeling free from giving too much of a shit if Sanji or Zoro were in-character, because their Slimeball AU personalities were whatever I wanted them to be. (Yet, they still felt in-canon somehow, just a little to the left.) I love how just... down for whatever Reader really is in these lmao.

Secondhand Smoke (Spike Spiegel x reader)

I like writing pieces without dialogue sometimes as an exercise, since that's usually what I prefer to write first, and this was so very sexy of me to write imo. Writing about a character I've been in love with for 20+ years is always special to me, it's silly but I try to write Spike with such care and keep him in character as closely as I can because it's like, important to me to write him as I experienced him. If that makes any sense.

Can you explain your last post

There’s a tendency of other fans to equate gintoki with spike spiegel from cowboy bebop

And mugen from samurai champloo

Both of them are the main characters from shows directed by Shinichiro Watanabe.

And while the similarities between gintoki, spike and mugen are there (mavericks with heart of gold, gambler, devil-may-care attitude, traumatic past) some fans go to the extent of insisting on their headcanon that the preferences in life partners of these three characters are all one and the same

...that their type is a “woman that could kill them.”

(Yes this is a shipping thing too... eugh)

................................................

Iirc only Mugen explicitly said that his ideal woman was “one that could kill him.” That was from the money counterfeiting episode.

While it was true that he and that ninja had excellent banter and sexual tension, diehard samurai champloo fans will tell you that the true heroine (and potential love interest) was Fuu all along.

I am aware of this because I have followed the samurai champloo tag for almost 10 years now. This point had been repeated many times even in official pamphlets and interviews.

I did ship mugen and that kunoichi btw. However mugenfuu, jinfuu and mugenjin dynamics ran deeper than mugen x kunoichi ever could.

...........................................................

As for Spike, yeah he and Faye had chemistry but Spike had only one soulmate and that was Julia, who he had a really complicated thing going on with. (I wont even touch that with a stick. Spiegel truly loves Julia whether we like it or not.)

Edited: yeah spike did say to Elecktra “I love a woman that could kick my ass.” Does that change anything? Actually no, since Mugen/Spike were basically from the almost the same creators.

............................................................

Gintoki meanwhile has one canon celebrity crush (and one clear love interest, like he genuinely wants to marry them and etc.): Ketsuno Ana, a gentle yet powerful soul (and also divorced but still very unavailable). He had never said that he was interested romantically/physically in people/women that could kill him/kick his ass. In fact his type seems to be the ones whose smiles and kindness can get him thru the day no matter the weather and the circumstance. (Diviner arc)

...........................................................

I mean... finding similarities across various pop culture is all enjoyable and good. That is fan behavior and it’s valid. However if people do it to the point where even canon is becoming more obscure and obsolete? When canon is starting to be forgotten? To the point of turning vastly different characters from different series into one type of dude? I think that’s the time we have to take a step back and really look into the source materials. Come on.. At least take the time to know what kind of info you are twisting for your fandom needs before making it your own or smth.

#onions #like yeah fiction isnt real and ofc u can twist anything however u want as long as its nonprofit

Not as good as I thought, not as bad as you said. (part1/?)

part1 part2 part3 part4 part5

Taking the "controversy" about the live action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop as an opportunity to analyzing the anime from Japanese perspective

cw// "Representation wise, the 90s anime was generally not that great" talks like pointing out uses of the F-slur and stereotypes and the lack of diversity, “The anime is not bad but wrong at some/many points” perspective

[I'm not trying to convince to change the opinions about the live action was enjoyable or not, my opinion about the live action is "okay". I hope this post will not be used to bash that poor ugly duckling (maybe it will not turn into a beautiful swan but anyway.)]

[I’m here to just give a crap about some obvious bigotry on social media which pretend as "they ruined my childhood" defense and stop the prove-yourself-as-a-true-anime-fan-tough-guy-desu!-championship.]

[Since Netflix doesn't let me watch any dub/sub other than Japanese, most quotes from the anime are translated by myself.]

[Honorifics omitted.]

For the bigots who whine about how the live action is “not white” when it’s much whiter than the anime:

There’s no “lack of accuracy” about Spike and Jet being “not white” when they have never been white (or white-coded), originally.

First, the duo in the live action are representing the two core element of the CB franchise itself, Watanabe's love for the two real people (famous Asian actors*), and black improvisational music.

* Bluece Lee, who conceived of Jeet Kune Do, and Matsuda Yusaku, a legendary actor well-known for his lanky figure and mop hair.

“Was not Spike Jewish?”

He's not canonically Jewish unless Watanabe (or any other staff who could make something canon) are informed enough, but it's not wrong if you assume, since it's a Japanese society's fault.

I’ve found the evidence that Watanabe didn’t know Spiegel is a Jewish surname, but let me explain more.

It's hard for me to say this but the ignorance of Jewish culture (actually it’s not only Jewish but every religious culture except for Buddhism, Shinto, and Christianity) in Japan is serious even in 2021.

Most people have never met any Jewish people before, also they’re uneducated, some of them are even anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim (since most Japanese views about the people live in western are based on the western media from old days, racist make people racist), if someone talks about they’re not going to celebrate Christmas because of their religion, the “average” people would laugh at them.

It seems acceptance of Jewish culture or characters has been trended in America since the 90s, but it’s mostly in comedy shows, so I think that’s good for people who can’t get enough representation in mature media (though satirical animations are actually aimed at a mature audience) have a cool character they can relate to.

Not only the fact he was a mobster of Chinese mafia, Spike has a lot of cultural connection to Chinese, though all of them are written by one person who wrote many episodes in anime and the novel Wild Man Blues, Yokote.

He agreed with the idea of eating Ein in Stray Dog Strut with the knowledge “brown furred dogs taste good”, eating dogs was common in China (it’d be a derogatory if you indicate someone’s taboo while you’re playing innocent, people in other countries also ate dogs in the past.)

He has a bottle of Dragon Balm (a parody of Tiger Balm) and makes the decoction of dried lizard in Toys In The Attic (weird crude drugs are a stereotype of Chinese medicine.)

He is nicknamed bào zhú (exploding bamboo) in childhood because of his short temper, he also smokes Zhongnanhai (Chinese cigarette brand) . He got hit on by a man who also hit on Faye (yes, the franchise has a canon bi character, he's not a good person though, but it doesn't matter when most people in the franchise are basically ass, in a good way) and it's hinted that he has a thing for Asians in the novel Wild Man Blues.

I think she headcanons him has genetic ancestry from China (largely at least) and grown up in the Chinese community.

Thou asketh for a DWH take and thou shall receive.

Heute ist ein Wilma und Steve feels kind of day, also Wilma und Steve. Trans fem Steve und butch Wilma, die in der Theatergruppe zu zweit den Fundus aufräumen sollen. Sie albern mit Kostümen rum und Wilma zieht einen weißen Jazz-Frack mit Zylinder an und Steve irgendein wahnsinns Kleid mit Glitzer und Federn und allem. Und sie stehen vor dem Spiegel und lachen und machen blöde Witze aber irgendwie fühlen sie sich beide so euphoric über das was sie im Spiegel sehen?? Der Anzug lässt Wilma sich so viel besser fühlen als die blöden Sachen die ihre Mutter immer kauft und Steve würde viel lieber öfter solche bunten und aufregenden Sachen tragen, aber hat Angst dass Leute ihn auslachen, weil das irgendwie mädchenhaft ist. Wilma, die Steve heimlich die floralen Blusen und den Schminkkram gibt, den ihre Mutter und Tanten ihr schenken und er gibt ihr dafür ein paar Hemden und Hoodies von sich, die er schon lange nicht mehr anhat weil sie ihm zu langweilig und schlicht sind? Sie bleiben immer öfter heimlich nach Ende der Proben da um den Fundus aufzuräumen und tauschen die Sachen aus und machen ihre kleine "Modenschau" zusammen und lachen und albern herum und ughhhh ich habe so viele Steve und Wilma feels gerade help

okay first of all: please come off anon so i know who to thank for this!!! 😭😭😍😍

Es ist perfekt!???! Ich liebe alles davon. Ich liebe v.a. auch die Steve und Wilma Freundschaft, die in den Büchern immer nur angedeutet ist, und ich hab das Gefühl, ich hab hier noch nicht genug drüber geredet. Ich meine, ich glaub es ist canon, dass Steve einen Crush auf Wilma hat (wenn auch sehr im Subtext versteckt) und auch, wenn Wilma diesen Crush nicht erwidert, sind sie sich definitiv sehr nah, und ich kann sie mir durchaus auch als Lebenspartnerinnen vorstellen, im platonischen Sinne. (Aber ein Fluch auf alle, die Steve und Wilma als cis het ship haben!!!)

Gender Euphoria durch schrille Kostüme ist so real!! Ich war 2019/20 in einem ziemlich queeren Tanzprojekt, wo wir mehrere Proben einfach nur damit verbracht haben, die abgefahrensten, schillerndsten, weirdesten Kostüme aus dem Fundus anzuprobieren und!!! the shared euphoria!!!! Das will ich für Wilma und Steve auch.

Und definitiv auch den Teil, wo Steve und Wilma Klamotten tauschen. Das spielt alles in mein Headcanon von Wilmas religiöser Mutter rein, die will, dass Wilma sonntags in der Kirche ‘hübsche’, feminine Sachen trägt, und Wilma, die sich standhaft weigert. Dass die Klamotten, die Wilmas Mutter kauft, immer auf mysteriöse Weise verschwinden, und Wilma stattdessen in übergroßen Hemden und Hoodies auftaucht?? treibt Wilmas Mutter zur Weißglut, aber sie kann nichts dagegen tun. (Wilma, trotzig: “Was, willst du mir etwa verbieten, so in die Kirche zu gehen?! Dann bleib ich eben daheim!” Und naja, Schachmatt.)

( constantly burning cigarette between a thin lipped grin , the neverending hunger but always empty pockets , one eye lighter than the other ) – wait ! Is that ( shiloh fernandez ) ?? No , according to their file that’s ( spike spiegel ) from ( cowboybebop ). i heard they are ( twenty seven ) and ( he ) ( is ) known for being ( laid back ) , but also ( stubborn ). if you ’re looking for ( him ) you’d have a good chance looking in ( pop’s dinner ). it’s very clear that they are a ( cancer ) since they have ( i wanna know ) playing by ( tea ) on repeat. hopefully they’ll have what it takes to survive !

BASICS

Name: spike spiegel Age: 27 Gender: cis-male Height: 6′1′’ Sexuality: there Relationship Status: single Occupation: bounty hunter Birthday: june 26; cancer Living arrangement: he’s searching as of right now

EARLIER LIFE

not much is to say about his upbringing, it was too normal to really put a punch in him and too boring for him to ever bring up. but this would be a lie to hide the trauma he would rather just forget. an orphan moved around from family to family raised in the slums of manhattan learning quick to become a thug, a thief, and finally a criminal after joining the red dragon

a smart guy and extremely well, adaptive he got caught up in the wrong crowd and didn’t know it but crime was just something he knew and was good at. then during a mission for the red dragon he got in an accident that led to him losing his right eye all around the time of fallig in love with a girl named julia. his love for her was so great he wanted to give up crime so a plan to fake his death and run off with her was set only when they were supposed to meet she never showed and left him alone. he still faked his death and ended up running into jet; later becoming his best friend and bounty hunter partner. never thinking or talking much about his past or julia.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM INBETWEEN THE SEVEN YEARS ?

he has come across riverdale after he decided a break was needed from bounty hunting. the town though, he never figured is full of criminals but unlike most seem to be running the police. with no bounties means no money and soon spike will have to do something if he wants to eat anything more than bell peppers and beef. the joke...he’s too poor to afford the beef.

HEADCANONS:

despises the smell of cooking bell peppers; when he and jet would really be scraping for nickles on a week to week basis between bounty hunts it’s the only thing jet would make. ironically he called it broke beef and peppers. spike never found this funny

he has a welsh corgi named Ein, short for Einstein; despite the fact that he hates pets

just before faking his death and running from the red dragon he was supposed to be their successor next to vicious, a notoriously heartless and feared person who if found out that spike was still alive would surely come for him.

he’s completely addicted to tv, being a couch potato, and cigarettes. there is rarely a time when he isn’t smoking.

one eye is lighter than the other.

people think spike is abnormally lucky, he always seems to win in gambles but this doesn’t mean he even enjoys it.

extremely skilled with slight of hand and two fighting styles; martial arts and french kickboxing

MISSING CONNECTIONS

WANTED CONNECTIONS. if you want a family member or an former relationship , go in detail of what you had in mind ! this is also for any canon characters that you would like to see that haven’t been taken !

How are people head-canoning (is that a word?) that Spike is gay? I mean bi-sexual I would understand but like...the whole show revolves around his love affair with Julia who is very much a woman.

Like I may not like Julia but every plot-specific (so any episode that actually moved the plot along and had Vicious and/or Julia in them) episode is about the love they shared and how it ruined their lives...so Spike Spiegel is definitely straight, maybe bi, but he doesn’t prefer men.

#cowboy bebop #rant #there's no canon evidence #WHY ARE PEOPLE LIKE THIS #ugh #spike spiegel #fandom bullshit #I hate headcanons #sexuality #sorry but this just irritated me and I had to let this out

hey hi just wanted to let u know that i lOVE UR BLOG + wanted to ask if u have any spike headcanons!!

Thank you! ^__^

I have some.- Spike definitely has German roots (Spiegel, yeah, I can’t disagree with @d2071 on that).

- Spike is smarter than he usually shows himself to be, but he hardly ever went to college. On the whole his education was quite fragmentary.

- He is a total lunkhead when it comes to deep human relationships (ok, it’s canon).

- He had lots of mates (actually fans), when he was part of the Red Dragon Syndicate, but his only friend was Vicious.

- Spike is an ancester of Dandy (who is a dandy guy in space).

Oh snap! Maybe I should of included this on the actual commission post but the story behind this request/picture was their first kiss.

Like, I always headcanoned Techmo as being bisexual and experienced with dating both men and women whereas Skips has only been with Mona (and no one else). And even though it’s been awhile since I’ve seen “Skips’ Story” I’m pretty sure that the most Skips and Mona ever did was hold hands and kiss (that one time) so with that being said I kind of just assumed that Skips has basically little-to-no experience when it comes to physical intimacy.

Which is why I’m totally in love with the expression the artist did on Skips’ face. It just....fits so perfectly~!!!! Seriously tho- you should defo commission Groscar- their art is so beautiful~!!! ♥♥♥

And while I guess I’m talking about head-canons I also think that dating men is something that Techmo does very discretely. I mean, since he never really got fully fleshed out in terms of character development I always based a lot of his personality off of Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop (for a few reasons actually *haha); e.g. while Techmo does have a charming and playful side to his personality I also think that he would probably be incredibly protective of his own privacy and private life (again, for multiple reasons *haha)

Sooooo, maybe there is a bit of a story/fanfic behind that picture/commission but I don’t know if I’ll ever get to writing it anytime soon. But still- /hhhh////

I really like my muses having a specific voiceclaim (and I just find it neat for my partners to be able to picture their voices !), but it does take time for samples. So in the meanwhile, here is Roy’s ! The lyrics speak volumes of his backstory, and I do genuinely enjoy this amateur cover, the fact that it is not perfect just makes it more genuine.

See ARCHER’s, JAEL’s and QUINN’s

I was expecting a good memeing but instead I got thoughtful and heartwarming investment I’m weeping, my chest is all warm and fuzzy. @solaoccasum

i read that archer enjoys bathing, because it’s akin to the strange euphoria when one is drunk. so i have to ask, does he ever combine the two? has he ever accidentally drowned himself, if so?

That’s a great observation I don’t mention often ! ;; Archer does combine the two at times ! Only very rarely. It could be because a) he’s often drunk anyway or b) it is not easily available where he bathes/practical to bother with a container he’d need to personally arrange or c) bath houses, for obvious safety reason, do not serve or allow alcohol while bathing. Drinking alcohol, in Archer’s alcoholic habits, is a common occurrence, while long bathing times is more of a luxury he allows for himself, so he tends to not necessarily associate the two hand in hand. Usually, the sensation of bathing is strong enough that alcohol wouldn’t change much given his personal resistance (atop of the now vampire one that just tripled it).

The times Archer would have drunk while in a bath was when Integra ( @midorigxrxge) would treat him to a large bath and serve him a glass (more like a bottle given how much he asks for). The earlier times would be while his sire would (near forcibly) throw him into his bathtub to bathe together, because Alucard was just like that, indulging in everything at the same time, wanting to drink strong alcohol with Archer in the same “large but just small enough for two grown men to be uncomfortably snuggled against one another in a tub”―ideally (for Alucard and Alucard only), they would have had sex while bathing and drinking, but since Archer wouldn’t have any, he mostly just decided to drown him for amusement.

So the happenstance of Archer mixing the two pleasures together would mostly be for an occasion where he had company to drink with.

has jael ever had an immediate attraction to someone, when courting hasn’t been involved? does he like doing grand gestures for a s/o? has he ever been courted?

That’s another good question !! Jael is quite a shallow person when attraction is involved. So, to put it elegantly, when someone’s body is showing great sexual assets, he does have this immediate attraction, even if they don’t directly make a move on him.

There is no real way for the moment to know if Jael likes grand gestures from a significant other, because he’s never had a grand gesture that was actually thoughtful about his person done to him. Every time it was made, it was a traditionally more of the shallow, generic type of grand gesture, like a surprise party or large gifts that “anyone would like”, but never something that could truly touch him. I’d tend to say that he doesn’t like those, but something that was truly thought through and very personal to him ? Given he’s a pretty laid back and low-key kind of romantic partner, I wouldn’t know exactly yet !

Jael has been courted in the past. As a jock type person and a guy who grew into a typically masculine good-looking white man in North America, it is not hard to imagine people making a move on him, even in the more sentimental way, all cisfemales, as he always gave too much of a I’m absolutely straight vibe. Unfortunately for those who flirted with more romantic and emotionally invested type of thoughts, Jael never (and may never?) fulfilled those expectations, albeit not on purpose.

what would archer do if his immortality was suddenly gone? would he react? would he worry about his mortality?

It would be quite a shock for sure, as it was already a massive trauma AND shock to be suddenly turned in one of the most painful way possible and be hit in the face with the fact that everything about his nature was to change, for eternity. However, I do believe that after time spent to come in terms with this, Archer ultimately wouldn’t mind so much. Even as a vampire, some form of mortality always loomed, and his cynical, depressive mindset always thought of the worst-case scenario. The immortality did give him some courage to make some leaps, but he would keep on living the same way he does right now. Because as a vampire or a human, Archer only tries to live his life (or unlife(?)) one day at a time.

when it comes to quinn’s...slimy limbs, has he ever throttled someone to death? does he found the thought horrific? is he overstimulated, scent wise, when it comes to being in an environment that is alight with smells?

Quinn has, so far, never used his limbs in an offensive way. It simply doesn’t compute with his prey-leaning instincts. He and his slime peers are no predators, and he has never seen his extra arms as something which could potentially cause harm to someone, only something practical for himself to reach farther places in a timely fashion. Given he still hasn’t fully developed nor explored the potential of his tentacles in Earth’s gravity, a lot is open to possibilities, especially now that he’s maturing amongst humans, and his thoughts are becoming more concrete.

That’s a very good supposition because yes, Quinn is VERY sensitive to scents !! Much like multiple mammals. Given his prey role, his senses are very aware of what surrounds him, and his scent is very sensitive, as it is so much more reliable than sight when wanting to survive. Quinn’s sense of smell, like all other senses is felt like a closer to a human (or more like a mammal since it’s so much more accute) when in a human form, while it is computed very differently while a slime, but to the same result. Quinn associates scents much like an animal does, as in he is not necessarily disgusted by their sources unlike a lot of humans (say, for example, trash and body odors), but seeing them as identifiers. And, just like certain animals, his emotional response is also dictated by what he smells, like a loved one for example.

if roy could give up one insecurity/normalization of something he dislikes, what would it be? does he expect to live a long, full life? if not, does he have some sort of twisted bucklist to complete?

I assume you mean anything in the world ? If that is so I think that Roy would like to suppress entirely blissful ignorance, especially the type which people decide to stay in. Things like people reposting cute seals pictures with “uwu so cute” while they take no care of the environment are what greatly grind his gear. He would take someone who actively dislikes seals and the environment and has full conscience of the consequences of their action than someone who starts to make jokes when confronted by such things. From small to crucial matters.

Roy doesn’t expect to live a long, full life, as he is very lonely, and aims to live a life without regrets, even if it is not necessarily a happy one. However, you may argue he has already lived a long life. As far as bucklists go, yes, actually ! He has one, which is, to make it short, full of goals to control how other people think and act, and is basically impossible to achieve.

when it comes to archer’s and olu’s ( @nvrcmplt ) relationship, does archer have any hang ups. are there desires he’s yet to explore with the lion? does he trust him? do they trust each other? does he ever....wonder about what if they never met?

That is another great and also embarrassing question !

Archer would... love to explore the very limit of how much abuse Oluwayemisi can take in the bedroom, but abstain to do so given the lion’s antecedents with genuine, non-roleplay abuse which Archer was key in being responsible for it*. The desire DOES show, especially when he is topping, atop of how much of a bloody mess both their maw and claws can do.

*So, for those who didn’t know, Archer played a key resource role with the people responsible for Oluwayemisi’s pride death, torture, enslavement, experimentation, you name it, which only left his son Osakwe luckily estranged with a healthy adoptive family, and Oluwayemisi a slave forced to fight in pits like an animal while being treated like a piece of meat. Not knowing how much he had actually been involved with Olu as he and his kind were, at the times, for Archer, numbers and words in business emails related to atrocities he had been numbed of, Archer fell in lust sponsored Oluwayemisi’s fights. And, as Oluwayemisi turned out to be very intelligent which just made the whole lust thing way worst, the two of them started to have actual discussions and rapports, despite the discrepancy in power role. Olu showed a care and thoughtful, wise responses to his antics that Archer couldn’t have cared if the second he dropped his guard he’d find out it was all a scheme to kill him and run away, he had just fallen too deeply in love. And he’d gladly have been ripped apart by someone he already found so great.

The thing is, Archer is very aware of how unusual the kink scene can be to Oluwayemisi. The rawer type of violence they can use at times plays on familiar, animal instincts the both of them carry, but more elaborate plays is potentially puzzling. Olu has been very receptive to a lot of Archer’s material, but never to the extent he’d take it if possible. Because a) Archer is too afraid to ask (a rare occurence) b) he loves Oluwayemisi way more than risking triggering something and c) even with his moral ambiguities and wrongs, Archer can definitely see the amount of fucked up this would imply.

Since they, although messily because as you can read Archer is just like that when things reach a personal level, are open to sexual encounters outside their relationship, Archer contents himself with letting out this preference out on willing (or not really all the time...) partners who know they are into it.

Does Archer trust Oluwayemisi ? He would love to say yes, but, ultimately, no, Archer doesn’t trust Olu. Despite everything the lion could tell him, Archer is sure that, if the right mother material would come up, he would rather Oluwayemisi leaves him for the freer lifestyle he tore him away from. He is sure that, if it came down to it, Olu would choose his son over him and he would be right to do so. And, most of all, Archer is sure that, as Olu discover more about him, he will end up hating him, like he should have done from the very beginning.

Do they trust each others ? There’s so little change in the wording, yet my answer would be the total opposite, I do think that Olu and Archer trust one another. They trust one another to love and care for the other, trust that they will both take into account the other’s desires and needs. That they will both compromise if one has different preferences than the other. As chaotic as Archer can be, they actually have quite a stable, solid relationship going on. On top of all this, Oluwayemisi can read Archer like an absolute open book, which Archer has no idea on how obvious he is to Olu’s eyes. This makes Olu’s view of Archer drastically different and much more stable.

Does Archer wonder if he never met Olu. He does, a lot. Because of his insecurities on how much he finds himself out of Olu’s league. Archer thinks that he may have never found out, and that he doesn’t even admit it to himself and probably never will but that is only the truth, that Archer needed to be literally fucked as hard as he had fucked others over in his life. That he yearned to be punished so badly and still does. The need to have at his side a powerful person who’d constantly challenge him, to punish and be punished. Archer thinks he could have continued settling with people he can use, weaker people he can play around with as they kneel and beg to be abused by him. That he would have thought that finally admitting he was into men was enough, and there was nothing else more to admit to himself.

Help me when it comes to them I write so much.

does jael ever worry about his age when it comes to sex? or relationships? even for like casual things with friends? is he up to date on slang and such with the younger generation lol ?

That is both hilarious and amazing thank you so much hahahaha !

Jael is someone who is at the peak of shape given his lifestyle and profession, so he never truly worried about his age when sex was on the table. If anything, with his age, he worries more about his practical, physical skills degrading with time, and him not being able to perform his job and protect his brothers and sisters in arms efficiently, especially since he has the role of the heavy stuff in his unit.

On relationships, however, as much as he’d hate to admit, yes. Jael thinks he has become way too old to have a significant relationship, but that is something he actually gave up on pretty early on, as he was never good at this kind of things. It is one thing to dream about a fulfilling romance, another to put up with the hardships that comes with a real one.

When it comes to friendship, Jael does have a hard time. However, age is less of an issue than his lifestyle. Not everyone is military and can bond with one who has been so deeply in it. It is a unique culture, a unique mindset. Some people in service are more flexible, but those like Jael who had service define all they are have a harder time bonding with others that are not on the job, and an even harder time bonding with people in service who are not in active duty anymore, as things can degrade rapidly.

Is Jael up for woohoo and such with younger people ? Absolutely. I mean he did... kinky stuff under a restaurant table with someone who seemed younger ( @lightpersists wink wonk). When you go past the weird mask thing and the foul mouth, he finds himself often attracting people in their early thirties or even twenties. Jael doesn’t really... have a moral compass on the matter. It is pretty much “as long as it is legal I’m good” type of deal, and even then he’s the kind of stupid, irresponsible, yikes man who would believe a 17 yo by word if she said “I’m 20 I just look younger”. (though if we go into specifics, he wouldn’t do it with someone he physically saw looked like a kid he prefers womanly ladies) Younger people are actually less put off by Jael’s appearance and behaviour, so he does tend to naturally be around them. If he hits it off with someone younger than him who is also an adult, it is only natural to him. He doesn’t feel guilty about getting along with groups in their 20s or early 30s, but maybe a bit of shame because, even for him, it sometimes feel a bit off...
