[puritates]

❛ If I can still breathe, I am fine, my Lady. ❜

Various Things Spoken in an Adventuring Party

The afternoon had been going smoothly, all things considered. A dog butler was ordered by a brat his master to escort an uninvited guest on a shopping spree to keep her occupied while the master worked.

All good things must come to an end, so the saying goes. The lightheartedness was abruptly cut off by a man shoving his way past and snatching the one bag Lizzie had insisted on carrying by herself. A gift for her beloved Ciel, tucked inside the most adorable packaging she could find.

Unknown to the young woman, however, he was bound to... certain limitations in front of Lady Elizabeth and the general populace of the city. Too many witnesses and too many questions... so, of course, to keep up the appearance of humanity, what was he supposed to do than take a quick stab to the side while retrieving the stolen items?

The young master of Phantomhive was sure to be incensed that his fiancée had to witness something so easily avoided.

Red, red, red. Pouring between her fingers, staining her gloves and cuffs of her jacket. Mother had taught her how to staunch a wound, she knew how to handle this! But she could barely gasp in enough air to keep herself from panicking and keep the pressure on it. His words didn't bring the poor girl any comfort, only causing a wave of fat tears to bubble up over her lashes.

"You've been stabbed, Sebastian! You cannot be fine! I am so sorry, just please keep your eyes open and focused! If you feel drowsy, tell me, I'll make sure you stay awake!!!"

Could he even feel it?

[choccy-milky]

(SPOILER WARNING to people who haven't read your story) I SWEAR to GOD!!!! This is borderline anon-hate with my current state of mind after finishing The Raven and The Snake over this weekend. I finished it in two days. I'm a mess. I've even started making a playlist because I feel like I can't properly enter reality again. I'm supposed to be writing my bachelors thesis right now,,,, what have you done to me!!!!

I loved it so so so much, and I am very mad I cannot have a collectors edition hardback version of it on my shelf. There are many many moments that keep replaying in my head, and scenes that I saw so vividly when reading through it. The first imperio moment and Sebs shadow and imperio-green eyes as Clora was held captive, and the entire scene in the repository and how I was physically shaking as I slowly realised that Seb had made a fucking horcrux, and when it was CONFIRMED the GASP i GUSPED. It was so perfect, and so very Sebastian; because OF COURSE he made a horcrux (lowkey hot, sue me).

And the scene where Clive realised Seb straight up just died for his daughter without knowing he would be back, oh my dear lord.

And the idea of Seb being seen as a 'Ruffian' and that little mamas boi bitch of a Henry thinking his hand-me-down-riches, muggle ass would be preferable to a powerful wizard. I secretly wished they didn't have to keep magic a secret so Henry could have known just how inferior he was. AND SEB APPARATING SO FAR UMPH the skilllll.

I could go on and on and on, and maybe I will some other time in your inbox when I have another mental breakdown.

And now I'm also almost done with the small sequel. Just taking a break to bombard you with this unhinged message of mine. And how you draw Sebastian is so fucking good. It's actually what got me reading in the first place. I see your version as being in a completely separate universe from the game, cause the way you draw him just has that something, and it's not the same anywhere else. It certainly doesn't help my obsession that my own boyfriend has the same features and colour palette as him, now I think I might even use your art as inspo for next time we need wardrobe additions.

I love you and I hate you.

Ps. Of course I added Sarah Smiles to the playlist and also Far too young to Die, and Just One Yesterday. If you've any other songs you think match please let me knowww~~

BRUHHHHH I ALMOST FEEL NARCISSISTIC FOR POSTING/RESPONDING TO THIS ASK BC ITS JUST PRAISE BUT DAMN THANK YOU SO MUCH😭😭😭😭IM HAPPY YOU LIKED IT SO MUCH!! FORGET WRITING YOUR BACHELORS THESIS, TY FOR WRITING A THESIS ON WHY U LOVED MY FIC SO MUCH AND ALL THE LIL THINGS U ENJOYED BAHAHAHA (love the henry slander) im also glad u like how i draw seb too, and i love how thats what made u start reading it in the first place BAHAH but fr, sometimes i try drawing seb more accurately to his ACTUAL appearance and then im like... Who The Hell is this... and it may sound arrogant since im the artist but my seb is MY seb, yknow...its why i dont like drawing him with other mc's romantically. bc even tho its like, oh look, that's Sebastian Sallow™ from the hit game Hogwarts Legacy™! in my style if i draw him with another MC, its like, NO!!! THATS NOT SEBASTIAN SALLOW™, THATS CLORA'S HUSBAND🤺🤺THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING BOI??🤺🤺🤺 LMAOO but rly TY AGAIN💖💖💖 not only for reading but also taking the time to write all this and let me know how much you enjoyed it🥹🥹i (and all writers, really) always love getting stuff like this!! it also brings me back to when i was writing it, especially now that ive been finished with my fic for a few months, listening to u react to all the diff scenes is making me miss it and giving me nostalgia for my own damn fic FRRR😩 also i love that youre making a playlist LMAOO thats how u know the brainrot truly has a hold on you IM SO SORRY🙏🙏 i actually made a seb and clora playlist like last year and its somewhere in my ask tag if you look through that?? but one song that i can recommend off the top of my head (which i almost made their anthem in that OTP chart) is arms tonite by mother mother...whenever i listen to it i cant help but laugh to myself bc its SO perfect for the chap where seb sacrifices himself....YOULL SEE WHEN U LISTEN😇💖

[fixing-bad-posts]

I looked around and didn't see anything about this on your blog but I apologize if I missed it.

I was wondering, what does doing the work behind this blog...feel like? I guess what I'm asking is if it does anything to you. Like, I had a thought. For a flash, I imagined you as Butters from South Park in that episode where he is tasked with filtering out all the negative comments on Cartman's social media. It ended up really messing with Butters, what with him having to see all that negativity.

You're definitely not being affected to that extreme, I assume, but I wonder if you would have anything to say about the process of finding these negative posts and reading them several times to edit them. Has it exposed you to unpleasantness that you wouldn't have otherwise seen? Or is there perhaps a kind of catharsis in editing such filth?

I'm making a lot of assumptions here. Maybe I'm also asking about your process. I just think what you're doing is neat and would love to hear about your experience with it.

Thanks for reading and I hope you have plenty of reasons to feel joy <3

oh boy, i love talking about myself haha—so thank you for giving me an excuse to do so! i have answered similar questions in the past, though never at length. every once in a while, someone pops into the inbox to ask about my mental health (which, rest assured, is just fine—i don’t put this blog’s operation above anything; it’s honestly pretty low on my list of life-priorities), and it’s always quite sweet. having a mob of strangers following one’s sideblog has its perks: one being that sometimes parasociality results in some well wishes, kind thoughts, and general goodwill. which is very nice, and probably an unearned vanity-boost for my ego.

what does the work behind this blog feel like? in turns: mundane, challenging, vindicating, annoying, amusing… and probably other things that i’m forgetting. most of the work i do on this blog is actually me procrastinating! i am a certified adult with a job™, and i’m definitely guilty of slacking off at work sometimes to queue posts submissions from my inbox, which is more fun than like… proofreading financial documents and making spreadsheets. other times, i’m sitting in a café with my partner, and allegedly i’m “writing” fanfiction. but, uh, if you know any writers, you know that sometimes “writing” means, ‘looking at a blinking cursor’. so it’s in those moments that i open up tumblr and start writing image descriptions and adding tags to prep posts for my queue. that’s mainly when the blog feels mundane.

something that i think helps me avoid negative doomscroll-spirals is that i don’t actively seek out bad posts for this blog. being a citizen of the internet delivers fodder to me naturally. that, and running a semi-popular sideblog on tumblr. when i see a bad post in the wild, that’s when the feeling is annoying/challenging. challenging, because ever since starting this sideblog, hateful posts don’t feel as vicious to me. once i see them, they stop being posts and turn into word-puzzles. and i love word puzzles!

solving the word puzzle is amusing for me, as is getting to look at my resulting “blackout poem.” it makes me laugh, it stretches my brain. when i started, i used to have to read a post several times to find the ‘good post within the bad post’ so to speak. these days, i’m so used to it, i barely read the bad posts more than a handful of times. but as i was saying to my partner, one of the reasons i love found poetry (erasure poetry, and cut-up poetry) is that it uses the same part of my brain that loves scrabble (the board game). then, of course, it's vindicating to see my posts get so many notes, sometimes surpassing the original bad post. that's more of my own vanity, i'm sure.

as for the last part of your message: yes, i have plenty of reasons to feel joy. i work with people who respect me, i live walking distance from a bubble tea café, and have friends and family whom i love. i have the good fortune to be safely out as a queer person. i’m a fanbinder. i’m currently working on a long fanfiction which is getting some very nice comments on ao3. and i’ve recently decided to become a poet (like, for real).

i must admit, i’m fascinated by how you imagine me. i often wonder how i am perceived, especially because i keep many cards close to my chest here on my sideblog.

anyhow, thank you for this excuse to ramble about myself and the process of running this blog. i hope you also have plenty of reasons to feel joy 💛

Prompt 59for sambucky!

Send me Prompts!

The last on in my inbox! I am so sorry this took me forever. And also sorry because heads up this is Divorce Era™ content.

“I’m in Nola right now,” Sam said, from the back of a taxi in Washington, DC.

He regretted the lie, but this meeting with Ross was beyond secret. Sam did not like the man one bit, but he wasn’t an idiot. You stick to the rules as best you can when the guy telling what to do owns the DOJ. 

Or at least, you do until they give you no choice. But Sam wasn’t in the mood to commit treason… again… at least not this week.

“What about you, you still in DC?” He asked through the phone.

“Nah, New York.”

The taxi moved forward a few feet, then stopped in traffic again. It had taken them five minutes just to travel half a block, which sucked, although it had given Sam a good long time to look at the coffee shop over the road, and the chairs and tables outside of it. Sitting at one of those tables was Bucky.

“...came home last night, actually,” Bucky continued and Sam could swear he could make out his mouth forming the shape of the words from where he was sitting.

The thing is, Bucky had called him. He started this. Did he call him just to lie to him?

“How’ve you been, you good?” Bucky asked.

“Yeah, good. I’m fine,” Sam lied again. “Things are good.”

Things were not good. How could they be when Sam was stuck in gridlocked traffic, probably running late for a coerced meeting with the goddamn president, and was inexplicably on the phone with his ex making small talk while they both lied about their whereabouts.

“How about you?” He asked, instead of any of the questions he wanted to ask (such as, “why did you call me?” and “the fuck is your problem?”).

“Can’t complain.”

Now that sounded like a lie, like he wasn’t even trying to sound happy. He looked a mess too, not that Sam felt good for thinking it. His suit looked awful, and he needed a haircut. He looked tired too, as much as Sam could make out over this distance.

Sam wondered if he missed him.

Because he missed Bucky, despite everything. Especially right now. For all Bucky would pout and glare and probably make the situation worse - for all the ways that Bucky’s skill set was not remotely suited to this kind of situation (navigating the ins and outs of the US military industrial complex) - Sam knew he would feel better if he was sitting there next to him.

Not that he’d ever admit that.

“I was thinking,” Bucky began.

The taxi lurched forward again and Sam had to turn in his seat. He could still see Bucky through the back window. The driver threw him a look in the rearview mirror.

“I was thinking I could come down to Louisiana at some point.”

Oh? He was seriously trying it on again?

“Just as friends,” Bucky added, and Sam didn’t really believe him. 

The taxi started moving in earnest and Sam got one final glimpse of Bucky before they turned the corner, too far to really read anything in his face.

Sam turned back to face the front, rubbing at the crick in his neck.

“I’ve got plans this weekend,” he said, which was sort-of true. He suspected this Ross thing would take up his time for a few days at least. The next part was another lie, though. “And next week, we’ve got to to this wedding, one of Cass and AJ’s cousins on their dad’s side.”

“Oh.”

“Raincheck?”

“Yeah, I’d… I’d really like to see you. I’m just so busy right now.”

Busy, evidently, with things he either wouldn’t or couldn’t tell Sam about. Sam knew it would be hypocritical to be mad at him for it. Besides, he had enough valid reasons to be mad at him outside of the secrecy and/or lies.

“Sam?”

“Yeah.” Sam swallowed, something ugly and painful caught in his throat. “Yeah, I’d love to see you too, I just don’t know if I can.”

“We’ll find time.”

“No, I mean…”

He meant he didn’t know if he could bear it.

“Look, I gotta go,” he said, instead.

*SLAMS THE DOOR TO YOUR INBOX OPEN*

YOU🫵

YOU MADE SUNNY LOOK SO FINE IN THE COMIC AND ALSO BOB AT HIS SIDE AND FORT MAXIMUS BEHIND HIM AND BLUE’S DACE AT THE END ANDKSKDKFK

Sunny,,,, I am looking respectfully

Also i want to pet the Bob so much and he defend and help Sunny win🥺😭💜

Who would win between the two rooms? My bet is on Sunny and what would be the grand prize that Rodimus offers🤔? Hmm (money-jkjk- maybe free drinks at Swerves for a while? Or idk supplies that one would want?-) also the winner gets bragging rights

-(Sleepy)Sunny Simp Anon💛

Not gonna lie, this ask did actually startle me a bit. How did you spot me so fast? It's beena hot minute since I've drawn the boys of apartment 512. I was kind of worried I'd mess up on them since I haven't been drawing Transformers quite as much recently but hey. It worked out okay~ I'm happy to hear you still find my stupid team-up of pretty car, sweet bug and tired tank fun hehe. As far as who wins in Rodimus' Room Rumble™?

That's really anyone's guess at this point. After all, Room 814 (Skids and Bluestreak) and Room 512 (Sunny, Bob, and Max) are only two of the teams competing. I mentioned that Drift and Ratchet are also a team, as well as several other combinations I want to keep under my hat for the moment.

Rodimus' grand prize, outside of the obvious bragging rights, is also being kept under wraps for the moment. (assuming he thought far enough ahead to actually have one ready lol) It's nice to see you in my inbox again Sunny Simp. I hope you got plenty of rest and are no longer a sleepy Sunny Simp anon🌸

[nerves-nebula]

Anon from the silly goofy post about my depressed physically abusive mom, here. Your response was fucking hilarious for the record, and fully made me feel a little better about that mess. Perspective and whatnot. You're very good at that. Really instilling a lot of whimsy to my flashbacks.

Not great with tone, but sorry about just dropping that sort of thing in ur inbox unprompted if it actually made u uncomfortable. this is literally the only place I can vent without feeling dumb and dramatic and like l'm weirding people out. But also if that was too much l'd like to know and l'll keep it to actually asking for perspective and not just throwing out of context child abuse vents, like all the other abused girlies™

i can not recall an abuse vent ask that actually upset me or made me uncomfortable. like i get that it can feel like an emotional burden to some ppl but i really don't take this shit too seriously.

the closest I've come to being upset about an abuse ask is when one was really long and i kept putting off reading it just cuz it was so damn long fasdfasdf. like i don't care. the only stipulation i have is that i don't always have shit to say about it other than "thats rough buddy" or making a joke about it. it's all good.

[rayshippouuchiha]

God my previous ask wasn't enough. Mess is Mine is living rent free in my head and I. Can't. Concentrate. Anyway, the comment on Akatsuki got me thinking on the Itachi/Sasuke situation and isn't THAT a mess. Like, I guess Itachi would try to kill/capture Naruto? To try make Sasuke hate him more?? Idk the whole situation is confusing but the result would be Sasuke trying to go a separate way from Naruto and Naruto going feral at Itachi because how dare HE or something like that

*ritual chanting* Mess is Mine au! Mess is Mine au! Mess is Mine au! Ray!!! U cant just introduce this au and let it lie like that!!!! Sasuke and Naruto traveling the continent??? Does Sasuke shamelessly steal raiton jutsus from kumo?? oh, oH do they travel to Uzushio??? Is Jirarya trying to find naruto?(yikes if they ever meet Sasuke is Not Happy™). Naruto decides he wanna be friends with all the other jinchuuriki and without meaning to single-handedly foil Akatsuki's plans! Iove this auლ(ٱ٥ٱლ)

~~~

Things got a little fucky in my inbox so this is technically backwards but still.

Naruto leaves with Sasuke at VotE and it throws the entire plot off. They travel the continent, they go to Orochimaru but they don't stay, they hit the oceans and the forests and the deep deserts.

Together, always together.

Naruto learns his heritage and Kurama's fury.

Sasuke learns to harness his own power and ignores Orochimaru's calls.

And the longer they spend together the more the both of them realize that they never want to be parted.

And anyone who attempts to do so is going to have one hell of a problem on their hands.

crying screaming THROWING UP, because i've just finally read last december morning (i am reading that before three little words so i could comfort myself later. i am wise!) and this is SOOOOO stunningly HAUNTINGLY beautiful, i don't know how are you doing this, you're such a talented writer 😭😭😭😭 the way you weave these unspoken feelings, love, sadness, doom into the words, so they sound exactly like a direct blow to my poor heart 😭😭 but with your writing???? god i wouldn't choose another way. also this satoru is so infuriatingly canon that i wanted to shake him by the shoulders, shout and cry, but we all know it would be pointless, because as you worded it was so beautifully "he was a man shaped for sacrifice" and i SO hate it because he doesn't deserve it any universe (maddening that he would never get it). thank you for this beautiful work!!!

CRYING SCREAMING THROWING UP X2 THIS IS JEENENJEJDDJNDNDNREJ I CAN'T IT'S SO GOOD AND CUTE AND I AM GONNA DIE FROM THE END. IT DID COMFORTED ME. (though i was completely shattered when the wedding invitation came. it was Brutal™). absolutely love love love that he wasn't scared to be loved in this little timeline and story (s&c gojo SEE??? being VULNERABLE because you are loved it's not bad you stupid junkie i love him so much yes (i know it's completely different but AGAIN) well, he was, but he chose wisely and now he's truly happy with us around and that's so sweet and perfectly beautiful i canttt you unleashed my utter want for fluff once in a while. also love the entire theme of facing the expectations of the clan and responsibilities, but moreover the entire theme will mutual pining, it just...took very close to my heart, and i did understand satoru's intentions of not wanting to ruin friendship and that's all. but they were both stupid, let's face it. it's always easier to think "nooo, i am doing it for them, this would be better" or "i just have to tell them it", but it's never easy. so i am really happy they both found the strength to face it and confess (more like satoru from poor desperation but alas) and you depicted these complexities perfectly. i am so content this satoru got a happy ending!!! thank you for these incredible work as well ❤️

p.s. i wonder if you get my message about the last s&c chapter, because if you did and just didn't answer it, that's completely fine then, i am just worried it didn't got sent or something like that because how couldn't i show appreciation to your work 😞😞😞😞😞

ohhh no, but it was so smart to read the angsty fic before haha. im so so glad you liked "last december morning", i actually really like that fic myself (maybe bc it's pure angst). but anyway, you're so right, it's so infruiating that satoru was always meant to be sacrificed by the narrative in the manga, like screaming and tearing my hair out infruiating. and that's what i wanted to capture with this fic :')

and omg love how you roasted s&c gojo with the second fic ahaha, but so true!! loved the mutual pining in this one too, something about that trope just hits differently, like they know they were made for each other but the grad scheme of things can't let them be together ahhhhh my heart. so glad you enjoyed both stories, and i'm working on new s&c and r&r chapters that will come out soonish (i hope), can't wait to share them with you <3

and as for your other message, i just checked and there is still one message in my inbox that i haven't answered yet, yeah i'm a mess soryy !! i'll answer it now so you can see if you meant this message.

[dotchi18]

I SAW YOUR POST AND I AM HERE™

request for mammon with bluebell please (or ivy if you'd like, it's up to you ^^)

ANYWAYS I ALSO WANTED TO SAY HI

hi~`

Eeeeeeeeeeee! Hi! And Thank you Cup, I appreciate you being here and making a request! ;w; 

Sorry if it took a while, I just saw it in my inbox and it says it was dropped in 78 days ago? I had no idea ;-; 

But I will of course do as you ask!

I decided to go with your Sentient!AU, I hope you like it!  

Yandere!Mammon x Reader

Bluebell (Humility, Gratitude)- “ I’ll be your humble servant, if only you let me.” 

----

Life was a stressful mess as of late. 

Writing plenty of essays to get into college, with a lack of response from the counselor in helping, school still being something to focus on, it was just very stressful overall. 

At least there were other things to focus on, mobile games mostly being the focus as you sink plenty of time into Genshin Impact and Obey Me. 

Lately though any attempts to play Genshin was leading to the screen freezing after a minute or two, so most of the time you invested in Obey Me, and specifically your best boy Mammon. 

It seemed lately like whenever you entered the app, he seemed happy to see you, in his own Tsundere way. 

It was another night after a long day and you simply settled into your bed with a mug of tea and your favorite snack as you opened said app. 

“ Oi! Took ya long enough to come back! What th’ hell are ya doin’ all day?” The demon pouted, dressed up in his causal clothing on the Homescreen with his room as the background. 

Lately it seemed as if where everything else in life sucks, the game decided to bless you with Mammon cards to make you feel better, and you were quickly filling in getting his outfits and any backgrounds and soundtracks related to his cards as one played faintly behind Mammon’s voice, 

“ I guess it doesn’t matter, yer here now.” 

You were unable to stop a smile from coming onto your face as you pecked your finger onto the screen as if in a kiss on his head, giving it a small tap. 

“ Ya know givin’ me more affection wouldn’t kill ya yanno?” Mammon’s sprite blushed as he closed his eyes, shying, making the warm feeling curl more inside you. 

Deciding to humor the one behind the screen, you planted a kiss on your phone. 

Of course, being that it was a phone screen and you were you, the kiss took up most of his body, but you heard his laugh soundbite, pulling away to see his big goofy grin and blush.

“ Ya know fer a human ya sure are cute!” 

Realizing what he said his blush remained but he became more begrudging, wiggling in his place, “ I-I mean... Jeez, Ya really know how ta catch The Great Mammon off guard!” 

He tried to scold, but ended it a little lamely, making you stroke his hair with a finger as you turned your attention to your energy levels, not seeing the demon give a small frown at the change in attention. 

Lately with these new high-powered cards you’re getting you’ve been tearing through the Lessons, deciding it wouldn’t be too hard to tackle this next arc in this one single night. 

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Pulling everything together on the battle segment, you chose your three most high-powered cards at the time, Mammon, Asmo and Beel. 

Well, your most High-powered cards were all Mammon for the most part, but you wanted to fill in all the spots to make sure you could move along. 

Clicking the ‘Battle!’ button, you heard a Mammon soundbite that you had never heard before, but because you didn’t speak Japanese, you had no idea what he said. 

All you knew he said was ‘You’ and ‘them’, letting you know he was speaking to you probably about the others before the battles started.

The three brothers were dancing, but the only one with a sound bite actively sounding was Mammon as he danced his heart out against a mini boss. 

You set the boys special moves off as fast as you could, and Mammon’s powers set off, zombifying the competition. 

Sighing, you melted against your pillows, pleased for the nearly 100% triggering of the powers that had also been happening recently. 

You kind of wished the zombifying would work on real people, like your counselor. 

You had mentioned it out loud before, considering he was stressing you out with his procrastination and there was no one else around to hear you at the time. 

After all, wouldn’t it be super nice if something happened so you didn’t have to request a new one and the new one might actually get everything done on time? 

Sure it wasn’t a perfect solution, being accepted on the spot by the college itself would be, but when one had to dream of things more plausible one came up with stuff like this. 

Blinking back from your thoughts, you looked to see the ‘Win!’ sign hanging up with a pleased but flippant Mammon saying something before the ‘Surprise Guest!’ popped up. 

Clicking on it, Mammon popped up again, “ Ya know, ya don’t need those guys, right? Only me. I only let ya pick ‘em ‘cause they can’t do anything.” 

It was a weird quote, but you simply rubbed his face, making him blush and dip his head down, something you did two more times to a burst of hearts before he shifted from side to side in your hold. 

“ Ya know ‘m gonna see ya real soon. Don’t pick anyone else, okay? Promise me.” 

He watched you and your indulgent smile before giving a nod.

" 'll take that as a yes then."

The surprise guest ended and you got to the next story section, where you were talking with Satan, having a small laugh over something.

It started getting a little flirty, before it gave you a prompt.

- I'm so glad we're friends.

- Betray Mammon.

' What the Hell is this?' A small shake of the head and you pressed 'I'm so glad we're friends', letting down Satan gently as he expressed assurances of being glad they were friends too.

You exited from Tasks as the Home screen loaded up.

" I shouldn't have to mess around with stuff to let ya know that kissin' somebody else is betrayal, right? Good."

This was getting very weird.

" Oi." He called softly from in the phone, taking your attention, " Ya know, The Great Mammon isn't one people can just push around.

But... I can be at your beck and call if only ya let me."

" What are you saying?" You finally answered out loud, " This is... really weird."

" 's not weird Treasure."

He assured as the phone started glitching, and heating up in your hands.

" 'm headin' out. Just give me a second alright?

And remember, ya promised me ya wouldn't pick anyone else.

Not my brothers.

And not any of them outside.

Wait for me. 'll be there soon."

Your entire phone winked out, screen black.

You nearly jolted as you pressed the buttons, holding them down and tapping on them, only to get no response.

You rolled to your side and plugged in the charger, hoping it would do something as you checked the time on the alarm clock

It was way too late to go out and get it looked at by anyone.

Running a hand through your hair, you decided to work on everything when you woke up tomorrow, slumping down into your bed, yanking the blankets over yourself as you settled in, mind still racing as you fell into a fitful sleep.

Not awake to feel the weight of a new body beside you, a hand being placed over yours with a kiss being planted on your forehead.

" Hey there Treasure."

[top-tier-tickles]

Super Mario (NEW/UPDATED) Tickle Headcanons

Now that the movie has been released, I feel that it is an appropriate time to share some updated headcanons!

______________________________________

Mario:

Switch

Super ticklish

He's a walking tickle spot, but his death spots are his belly and belly button

You have to hold him still somewhat, he squirms a lot 😂

Especially weak to raspberries

As a ler, he'll tease the lee about their laugh and how ticklish they are

Can hold his own in tickle fights(which are mainly caused by him)

He can't really take what he dishes out though

He squeals a lot when he laughs and it's precious ❤️

Firehand has made the palms of his hands sensitive as well

The Toads gang up on him and Luigi frequently

He has freckles, and connecting the dots with them MURDERS him

Teasing him also kills him

Luigi:

Switch

A tiny bit less ticklish than Mario

Only a TINY bit though

But still super ticklish

Like his brother, a walking ticklish spot, but his worst spits are his sides and ribs

You definitely have to hold him down, he flails way too much lmao

Teasing will kill him on the spot

Blushy mess

Mario's main victim, obviously

But he isn't afraid to get him back

If he's provoked enough, he's a pretty decent ler

He snorts when he laughs

Like Mario, Thunderhand makes his palms ticklish too

Peach:

Ler-leaning switch

Her laugh is so pretty istg

Worst spot is her ribs

Found out Mario was ticklish cause of Luigi ratting him out and poking him

She's a pretty gentle ler, holding her victims calmly while utterly wrecking them

Bowser tried to tickle her once, but got a big ass shiny black eye because of it

He doesn't try to anymore

Tickly kisses are her specialty

It's pretty hard to tickle her, since she has pretty fast reflexes, but it's possible

Her laugh sounds like bells

Mark my words, she will get you back

She's the only person who can make Mario turn into a complete lee

Toad:

Lee-leaning switch

Almost all toads are lees

His death spots are his tummy and hands

His laugh is very squeaky, like a stress toy

Basically Mario and Luigi's annoying little brother

They gang up on him regularly

Little shit

Will jump on someone's back and surprise tickle them from there

He mostly aids the lers tho

He's able to easily squirm out of people's grip

Donkey Kong:

Ler-leaning switch

He'd rather die than admit he's ticklish

Everyone ended up finding out because Cranky got tired of his shit and told everyone

Worst spot is his armpits

Seth Rogan laugh™

Mario's accidentally- completely on purpose -tickles him sometimes

Diddy and him have frequent tickle fights

As a ler, he's pretty ruthless

He doesn't really know how to tease people, so he just pokes their ticklish spots often

He means well, but sometimes he gets so caught up in the moment that he forgets to stop

He actually made Mario pass out while wrecking him once, and DK totally freaked out because he thought he killed him

He was fine tho lol

Bowser:

Ler

He's barely even ticklish

His only ticklish spot is his neck, even then it's hard to get to

He always wears that collar, and he can hide in his shell at any time

His laugh starts out in a deep guffaw, but dissolves into low chuckles

He's definitely not above tickling someone, though

If you DO attempt to tickle him and fail, you'd better start running (He'll catch you in the end tho)

If he doesn't kill you, he'll definitely make sure justice is served

This motherfucker has eight kids, don't tell me he's not a tickle monster

He laughs along with his victims, teasing them all the while

Utilizes tickle interrogations frequently

He's a cruel ler

Teases like the asshole he is

His claws make it worse

Mario tried to tickle him once and failed miserably

He doesn't stop until the lee is crying or on the verge of passing out

But he's definitely gentle with his kids, not anywhere near as ruthless

MAYAAAAAA 😫😫😫 I know I’ve been in your inbox already once today, but I just saw you reblog This Fucking Post™ of This Fucking Guy™ and— EXCUSE ME. I AM UNWELL. 

So now I can’t help but think about how this particular Seb is a bit more confident and cocksure (pun at least 50% intended) than usual, and how it completely throws Chris for a loop and maybe they haven’t seen each other for a while and they’re finally alone and making out like teenagers on Seb’s couch and Chris is reeling from how assertive and self-assured Seb is, not to mention how stupidly fucking hot he looks, and listen. LISTEN. Chris loves it, he really, really does, but he’s just used to being a bit more in charge, and being able to reduce Seb into a boneless, speechless mess with relative ease (much like Seb’s doing to him, right now).

Chris is kinda getting lost inside his head when his hand finds its familiar way into Seb’s hair, fingers curling gently but surely around the lengths, and tugging— 

Seb makes the tiniest noise in the back of his throat, but Chris can feel the tremor that runs through him, so he pulls a bit harder, a bit meaner. 

There it is. 

“Screw you,” Seb breathes, but it comes out wrapped in an unmistakeable moan. 

Chris just laughs, mouthing at the hinge of his jaw in a way that makes Seb squirm into the cushions. 

“This is why we can’t have nice things,” Seb huffs even while closing his eyes and melting into the touch. 

“Aww, honey,” Chris purrs in response. “You’re the nice thing.” 

Idk what this even is but I totally blame you & Minnie for it 😇💕

OH MY FUCKING GODDDD KAY MY SUNFLOWER BABY 😭😭😭😍😍🥵🥵🥵🥵

Okay. Calming down for a second but GOD I love you so fucking much.

I saw your other ask and I LOVE it, also @sparkagrace has been begging me for something similar and I will have so much fun writing it, so thank youuuu for sending me that prompt (also? I love the hive mind so freaking much lol 💗💗)

But getting back to the rest of your ask bc oh my god are you in my head??? This is like a perfect scenario and I’m obsessed 😫 Anyone who even knows me a little bit knows how weak I am for this Seb:

Like uncontrollable sobbing, unhinged screeching, want to BITE, that kind of weak 😭

But back to your scenario.

One of my favorite things is Seb being a little cocky and Chris being surprised by it and LOVING it, but alsoooo trying to find a way to reduce Seb to a whimpering mess again 😫 I love how in this scenario Chris goes with it for a little but then he just needs to do one thing, and Sebastian is done for (much like I am).

And they both love it. Chris loves it when his boyfriend is assertive, makes known what he loves and wants; whether it’s through making those delicious noises or by showing Chris what he wants by being a little more demanding like this. He always thinks Sebastian is hot, unbelievably gorgeous, but there’s something about him when he smirks at Chris in that way of his, when Sebastian looks all self-assured and like he knows he’s the hottest thing out there, because in Chris’s mind he always is. So he lets Sebastian do what he wants for a little, until instinct takes over…and his instinct will always be to love on Sebastian so much, to make him feel soooo good, that Sebastian just melts into whatever surface they’ve ended up on and lets Chris make him feel even better.

The moment that happens always causes Chris’s brain to short circuit for a second. When Sebastian’s features go slack, when he moans so loudly, when he starts to give himself over to Chris. It’s not so much surprise as it is pure awe; that he can have that effect on Sebastian, that Sebastian loves it as much as he does, that Sebastian lets him do this.

Sebastian loves it when Chris takes charge and just, instinctively knows what he needs, but sometimes he just can’t control himself, feeling sooo good about himself and wanting Chris to feel good too, needing to be close, so he just goes for it.

He can’t help but feeling a little hungry, a little feral when they’ve been apart for a while, needing his hands all over Chris and needing Chris’s hands all over him. Rile him up as much as he can until he gets Chris to growl a little and manhandle him, pull at his hair, letting Chris take charge again easily.

Riling Chris up is maybe one of his favorite things to do. It’s almost like a little game they play, and even if Seb complains a little when Chris takes over and makes him all weak-kneed, it’s all he wants.

ALSO, Chris is right, he is the nice thing 😭 and BLESS you so much for dropping these incredible thoughts into my inbox, GOD, I’m gonna need some more time to think about this 🥵.

I LOVE YOU (and your incredible brain) SOOO MUCH 💕💕💕💕💕 Sending you the biggest polar bear hugs and all the smooches 😘😘

Alsooo I think @musette22 will agree with me that we’ll gladly take the blame if it leads to something like this 🥰🥰🥰

I think most people think all gaslighting is malicious but it doesn't need to be. Gaslighting (especially when it's cultural) can be done unconsciously or unintentionally, or perhaps even intentionally with an awareness of impacting the other person but not realising that the impact is harmful.

For example - when you try to express an unpopular opinion but it's just dismissed or people behave like they can't understand how or why you could possibly think that, even when you try to explain. Imo ppl often react like that because they don't WANT to put in the effort to understand or deal with the discomfort of a new/unusual idea. They probably don't mean to criticise your intellectual capabilities but if it happens for long enough or often enough, it's easy to begin thinking "I must be dumb/stupid, I must have bad taste, etc."

Another example is when you're trying to get your point across but the other person disagrees with you by addressing everything else except the key point you're making. For example, with the Carlos situation, if someone says "I dislike his s4 plotline cz it doesn't fit properly with the earlier seasons", the general response (not including you in this) is "oh but it's totally possible for someone of his background to do what he did". Um yeah, but that wasn't the point? The point was that the show messed up the execution of a perfectly plausible storyline. But the execution is never addressed generally, instead the discussion is repeatedly directed to the motivations of the character. Which leads to the feeling of "am I shouting into the void? can ppl not hear me? am I stupid for thinking this when most others don't even think the problem exists? etc etc"

Sorry to go off on a rant about this in your inbox. But if always drives me up the wall when people get offended about words like "consent" and "gaslighting" being used, just because they don't realise that there's levels to those concepts.

I think that you're right, there certainly are levels. And some of the things you described could fall under the larger umbrella of the term depending on the specific circumstances. I think people get their hackles up pretty quick tho because gaslighting is a very specific term. It describes a method of emotional abuse where someone's sense of reality is repeatedly called into question in order to gain psychological power over them. It is manipulation with the intent of making them completely vulnerable to their abuser because they can't trust their own mind anymore. And The Internet™ (sweeping generalization, I know) seems to have somewhat decided it is actually a catch-all term that applies to things like any time someone said something that doesn't reflect your perspective or whenever someone disagreed with you and didn't immediately acquiesce when you demanded they change their mind. So people are, understandably, going to be pretty instantly offended if you accuse them of intentional emotional abuse when what you really mean is "you're kind of being a dick."

There is all kinds of dickish behaviour that doesn't qualify as gaslighting, like being dismissive or being unnecessarily rude or arguing with a point someone wasn't making (people do this to me all the time on here so I feel you on that one. The whole "I like mozzarella cheese" "oh so you HATE CHEDDAR???" phenomenon. It is endlessly frustrating when someone is putting words into your mouth and getting mad at you for something you didn't say. It is an unkind and lazy and bad faith way to interact with someone. But that doesn't necessarily make it gaslighting.) Things go both ways, too. People are allowed to just straight up disagree with you and not be interested in taking the time to understand your position. Like it would be nice if they were willing to hear you out and be open to a different perspective, but you aren't entitled to demand that they do so and they aren't being abusive if they don't want to, especially over something as ultimately inconsequential as a difference in fictional character interpretation. People can just say 'I don't agree' or 'I don't see it that way' and move on. Idk. I see what you're saying, I honestly do. And I can see how that would be super frustrating and lead to not a very nice fandom experience. But it's just really complicated.
