#HOW DOES SHE KNOW??? HOWWW??

[guided-by-stars]

Hey, has anyone ever thought about why the King set up base in Dormont, a fairly small town with no specific special qualities about it? Could it be that he heard about the observatory, or that Euphrasie had been researching Wish Craft? Surely the first time she thought of it couldn’t have been when the King attacked, she knows far too much about it for that to be true. She realized in the span of a few MINUTES that Siffrin was using Time Craft. How did she know about that. How on earth did she know that?? It took Siffrin so many loops to figure that out and he was the one literally traveling through time!

I am not gonna lie I have the biggest tickle crush on you 🥰🤗 I have this fantasy of my hands being tied behind my lers neck, and a vibrator tickles my clit while my ler tickles my armpits and ribs. I’d love for that ler to be you 🙈😳😘

eeeee~~~ I'm sooooo very flattereddd oh my gosssh~<33 You absolute gorgeous giggledarling~~<3

"And you seee making me get alll bashful and flustered is onlyyyyy gonna make me wanna tickle you moooreee~!! Howww absolutely delightful to find you allll cute and trussed up like this, all close and cooozy to meeee~ yeahhhh you aren't going anywhereee I've got youu right where I need youuu ~ "

My snickering cooing face is right in yours, relentlessly taunting as I watch you blush in your position, snugly secured behind my neck, arms up with your cute sensitive underarms presented for me~ I taunt with scrunching flexing fingers, holding them up and showing their tickly intent~ I trace along your arms, getting closer and closer to your armpits before pulling back with a taunting grin.

"Ah ah ahhh~ getting wiggly alreadyyy? You're not going anywhere uh uhhhh~ you were all sweeet before we started saying such cute nothingssss~ ooh are these for meee? You have not one but twooooo cute armpitssss and oooh all these riiiibs! Whyyy ~ I knoww the usual protocol is to count these ribbies with wiggly walky fingerss but mmmhh~ I'm justtttt feeling soooo ~amorous~ and I wanttt alll these giggle girly ribs at once ohh yes I dooo~"

I chatter away, giggling down my tallness at you while my fingers merrily start a brisk stroke, wiggling down from your upper ribs, pausing to squeeze your sides before trailing back up with my vocal trills accenting my every motion~

"Ahhhhh~ doesn't that feeel betterr? Getting all gaspy giggly for meeee? Mmmm? Tickle tickle? Oooh I know what would feel better~ you're a naughtyyy thing aren't youuuu mmhmmmm~ I just sooo happen to have a little vibeyyy oh yesss I dooo~ and look darlinggg~ look howwww she buzzzess~ mmmhh ~ soo pretty huh? Like aural sparkliesss~"

With vibe in hand I start teasing at your ears, letting the sound taunt you of what's to come while my fingers continue to stroke each rib thoughtfully~ and then I slooowly draw the buzzing shiny bullet down your neck to your underarm, letting it circle inside your armpit gently. While my hand drifts up to flutter around the other underarm~

"Mmmhmm ~ ticklish armpitssss ~ those lovely armpits? Ticklish pittiesss~ Ticklish pits.~" I matter of fact tease, taking the vibe lower and lower, tracing each rib and circling around your navel before reaching your pantyline.

"Oooh yes and best of alllll I have a hands freeeee buzzy for youuu~ Seee look at this clipyy clipppp~" Smirking wickedly, I attach the vibe to your undies and gently tug them around playing with the straps to make sure I get the buzzing right on your girly pearl~ "Laugh it up gigglebug~ we're going for oneeee crazyyyy ride~"

And with that I let out a cackle and start fluttering my nails in your underarms, dancing the tips away on the curves of sensitivity~ "Coochie coochie cooo~! Where are you goin? You can't get awayyy noooo~ you're alll mineee mmmmhmm and I'm not done with you yetttt no no noooo~" I tease and taunt, snickering with you, imitating your gasps~

"Oooh ohh ooooo~! Does it tease just soo much? Huhhhh? Little buzzies on your clittyyyyy and my ticklyy fingers on your armpitssss?" I start rubbing my thumbs in circles in the middle of your pits, working outward before tracing around the outer rims, leaning in occasionally to plant a little kiss on your tickled face or blow a raspberry on your neck~

"Tickle tickle tiiiickle~! Awww and how about those ribbies? Those ribbiesss? Oooh this is such a ~rib tickler~ huhhhh? All bound up stuck with meeeee and nowhere to goooo~"

My fingers glide along your ribs, playing them like an instrument with little deft strokes, working down and around, reaching around to get the backs of them as well when I hold you in for a tickly hug~ the softness of my top, the cool smoothness of my flower shaped belt buckle grazing on your warmed up bodyy~

"Sooo cuteeee sooo ticklisssh ~ ooh and sooo desperate huh? A bit wantttyyy? Tell me cutenesss~ how often do you think about having your pearly buzzzzed and your hot spots worked like thisss? Awww, feel good? That's righttt you tell your Amy alll about itttt~ my my myyyy sooo blushyyy~"

I dote on your every reaction, awwing and oooing when you get really gaspy, at times ending my chattering cooing and simply loving on your expressions~ I shake my head to make my long soft hair graze on your upper body ~ my lips purse and I give you a little adoring head shake as I continue to melt you into a gasping pile of fluff ~ all the while the vibe continues to give those loving vibrating tickles to your lovely royal button~

"Mmmh~ yeahhh? Gonna gigglecum?" I ask, getting a little breathy myself at all your lovely sounds and squirms. I start tickling on what I find to be your hottest rib and trace the rims of your underarm, working inward as I gaze down with a tickler love~ nodding, affirming your every reaction. "Come onnn~ go aheaddd~ be such a cuteeee naughty gigglerr for meee~" I murmur quietly, giving you little gasps too as I feel it coming. My fingers follow your every motion, I don't break eye contact. Soft long locks are in the mix with my fingers, that gentle sensation mixed with the tickles. The buzzes never relent, urging your pearly on through all the teases~"Tickle tickle~ tickle~ you're so cute ~ sooo lovelyyy ~ sooo ticklish ~ tickle~" I whisper~

And when you finallyyyy can't take it any longer~ my smile only grows. "Tickle tickle-oooh there you goooo look at youuu~ awww~" I squeak out and never relent my tickles, keeping you as upright as I can through the quivering gigglegasm ~ my fingers follow your motions as you try to endure it ~ I have no intention of letting the tickles fade, my fingers rubbing earnestly on those hottest spots across your upper chest and underarms~ and when we finallyyy collapse from soo much lovely ticklessss it only goes gigglier from there as I tackle you to the bed and start layering kissesss on every rib and each underarm~!! <33

howww about a 🔥 for your fav character from each yugioh series youve watched! >:3c

🔥 bakura - people tend to like, woobify him & treat him like he's totally helpless and has no agency or say in what happens to him, and it's not even a ""wrong"" interpretation necessarily i just think it's so........BORING. I reread the manga recently and so many times bakura CHOOSES to put the ring back on even when he doesn't have to and he lies about it and he gets upset and hurt when the others keep it from him. but even after 20 years no one is ready to hear the "more complex than a generic anime sadboy" bakura takes seemingly

🔥 yubel - i'm late enough to the party that there seems to be pretty widespread acceptance of yubel's transgenderism but i still Only ever see people using she/her or they/them. which is like, fine, but why not try something else?? I'm on the no pronouns/name-only bus myself but would also be partial to he/she (yubel is visually half-male half-female, practically split down the middle. bigender king) & even the dub uses he/she/it depending on who yubel is possessing at the time. Throw some neopronouns in there for good measure. Mix it up a little

🔥 kalin - not sure how unpopular this opinion is but i'm sorry this man should NOT be a single father. he's 21 he's suicidal he doesnt know how to fucking cook. king you should not base your entire desire to live on two kids who are realistically only a year or two from screaming "i hate you" at you when you tell them theyre grounded

🔥 vector - i'm not sure ive seen too many vector takes I disagree with actually. usually with a character like this I expect to see people making him regret what he did, apologize for it (blergh) etc. but I've actually seen like, none of that. So shoutout to zexal for being so fucking well written that ppl aren't even mischaracterizing your villain all that much (that I've seen as a latecomer)

🔥 yuri - any take about yuri being misunderstood because he was groomed/manipulated into being evil is really really boring to me. also anyone who looks at yuri like "we need to make him get therapy so he can be Normal" i'm blowing up with my mind. he would not fucking benefit from therapy sorry. he might enjoy fucking with the therapist for a few weeks but then it would get old. ALSO ALSO I'm not a huge fan of the take that yuri and celina would be friends (or more) if circumstances were different. like I think they just dont like each other and that's Fine - the idea that all of the girls need to have the same kind of relationship with their boys as each other does a disservice to each of them as individuals with their own identity imo. THIS ONE GOT LONG SORRY. THINKING MUCH ABOUT HIM.

🔥 jin - much like bakura jin is a character who gets treated quite like shit by canon and fandom alike. given that he has like 2 lines of spoken dialogue there's a lot of room for interpretation, but i feel like most of the (very very scant) jin interpretations I've seen depict him as sort of clueless and naive and vapid, and that is, again, very very boring to me. i think people want him to be ""okay"" because of what he went through but it comes at the cost of absolutely any interesting characterization or meaningful relationships with other characters

[noahschnappinfs]

HOWWW is noah so pretty and gorgeous with makeup god I love this little side of him. so honoured he shares it with us

i have to say that i know it’s clearly a filter but it’s insane how the eyeliner suits his face so well.

i feel like the only way we will get like a full make up grwm/tutorial or whatever is if chloe does a tiktok doing his make up so i’m requesting publicly that she does that one day, the people have spoken.

[sevicia]

Today my mom told me to clear out the fridge so I went and started tossing anything expired into the trashcan til I got to the veggies and asked my mom like "Hey should I throw this out it's kinda squishy" or whatever and she just WOULD NOT ANSWER and kept telling me "But what do YOU think you should do .... ?" and I literally wanted to scream cause HOWWW does she not understand that I am just trying to CONFIRM WHAT I'M DOING. AND ASKING FOR PERMISSION!!!!!!!!! Which I told her!!! Like just thinking about it now is making me upset!!!!

And she just kept TALKING even when I went "Okay I'll just see for myself then" like she'd say "How can you NOT know this? Can't you think for yourself? Do I have to teach you how to do EVERYTHING? What are you gonna do once you live alone? Oh, I guess you don't need to worry about that since you don't even eat this stuff!" OH MY GODDDD. Like that's exactly why I'm asking you! I don't know how to do it, I don't do it often enough to remember, I'm asking you to teach me! You asked me to do it, so I wanna do it your way!

I was just kneeling in front of the fridge absolutely SEETHING like I did not truly know the meaning of that word til today. I wanted to take everything and throw it in the trash and tell her "It's all gone bad. I did it MY way, so if you think I did it wrong, just do it YOUR way instead"

And I don't know! I feel like most people would not get THIS frustrated and upset over something like this but I genuinely just could NOT understand her not understanding my reasoning and it made me wanna lash out! It's happened before when people just REFUSE to explain things to me even after I've asked them to (sometimes BECAUSE I've asked them to), like it makes me so confused and frustrated and UPSET that I just wanna scream as loud as possible!!!

I started stuttering again which I haven't done in like a solid MONTH (I think) but when I tried talking I just could not get the words out smoothly. I was so mad. I wanted to slam the fridge door shut and go to my room and slam that door as well and scream at her to please just fucking TRY to understand me for once the way I try my best to understand her every single day of my fucking life! But I just stayed on my knees and kept repeating "I am well-behaved I don't lash out" inside my head, which has been my go-to whenever I get too close to acting as angry as I feel, and now it's been HOURS and I'm a lot more calm but Godddd it's just so FRUSTRATING !!!!!

✄ what’s your editing process?

★ what was the scene you most wanted to write in "Who We Are" ? what was the hardest scene to write?

and

▵ pick a fic and I’ll tell you my favorite line -> for "Home"

Thank you so much!😊

✄ what’s your editing process? - answered here :)

★ what was the scene you most wanted to write in "Who We Are" ? what was the hardest scene to write? - I remember being so excited to write Ezri's joining, which ended up being a ton of fun- as well as this (not yet posted) fallout between Jadzia and Julian. Plus the climactic zhian'tara ritual! A scene that's been quite hard to write is one where Jadzia sort of snaps and is... actually very mean to Ezri (hard because it's tough to find the balance between painful and still in-character; in canon it was Garak, who can easily be cruel- but while I think Jadzia can be uncaring sometimes she isn't usually mean like that, so what would it take to push her? how can I make it convincing?) - and ofc that climactic zhian'tara ritual lol, because HOWWW can I capture the sheer madness of Jadzia Sans Dax But Not Quite Idaris hosting the spirit of Technically Now Dead Past Host Jadzia Dax. Nothing is good enough!! Nothing!!!

▵ pick a fic and I’ll tell you my favorite line -> for "Home" - omg Home :') can't believe it's been two whole years since I sat down and thought "well maybe I should try writing a fan fic" & then accidentally gave birth to a 100k word monster lmao. I haven't actually read this one since last December, so I'm not sure these are in fact my fav lines- but people seem to comment about this exchange between Kira and Garak a lot, and I do like it!

“Nilvi isn’t even a Cardassian fruit,” he said randomly.  Kira knew. It was Amlethi; plucked from their soils and grown on Cardassian worlds. Jiruoub berries were Amlethi too; yet they’d fed her three years in the Resistance. Korman weeds brought by Cardassian invaders now blanketed moba orchards, inexplicably helping the indigenous trees grow. Two of the seven spices in Seven-Spice Hasperat were Cardassian.  Years ago, Kira would’ve defiantly relished a five-spice version, shamed her peers who didn’t. Now, she just thinks they’ve all been through too much to punish themselves with bland hasperat. Maybe time couldn’t heal all wounds. But it could turn her hasperat from a political statement into lunch. “My father enjoyed it,” she remembered. “So did my mother.” Garak paused. “You’ve met her, you know.”

This digs into a lot of things I find fascinating about their dynamic, and what they might have in common despite being from opposite sides of an Occupation- but it's also an important character moment for both of them; a recognition of how much their lives have changed, their worlds have changed, they have changed. The nilvi fruit does have symbolic weight in this fic lol- it's the thing that starts off the whole series of unfortunate events, yes, but also when it's first mentioned in chapter one, it's via Garak reminiscing about it as a symbol of cultural pride, unity, and Cardassian wealth, and with casual nostalgia. Him saying this now is a display of how much the events of the fic have forced him to confront that nostalgia- now, the fruit has become a symbol of Cardassian greed, entitlement and violence (both on a larger, planetary scale, and a personal one). I also really wanted to write this moment of peaceful self-awareness for Kira- there are things she will never truly heal from, things she'll never forgive (a lot of which are quite literally personified in the man she's currently sipping springwine with) - but that doesn't mean they can't come to take on new significances. I remember I was thinking about how maize is a dietary staple in most African countries, and red and green chillies are so famously associated with various Asian cuisines- yet, neither of those things is native to those lands. Every country from Sudan to Sri Lanka is filled with tea stalls that are now a crucial part of the culture - but shai/chai never used to be made with tea leaves until those countries were colonised. This is not a "silver lining on the cloud" type thing, of course- quite the opposite; neither Bajor nor any real-world nations should ever have been colonised (& this is why I included that "inexplicably helping the indigenous trees grow" line- the exact sort of thing that would get paraded around as a defence of colonialism! Just like railways, languages, European architecture, fusion art, etc. Whether Cardassian activity was poisoning the soil or inadvertently helping something grow, it doesn't matter- it had no business being carried out in Bajoran territory.) But this is an aspect of occupations I hadn't seen explored all that much in ds9 fanworks; that inevitable intertwining of cultures- so I wanted to write more about it, and given I drew a lot of inspiration from stuff I see around me I'm always so pleasantly surprised by how many people responded to it, I'm very glad it resonated

[mobblespsycho100]

also howww much trauma does toby have LOL that guy is from fox and the hound HE HAS TRAUMA I CAN FEEL IT

Im honestly still working on it but basically I think he was abandoned as a child by his mom (she probably did it to keep him safe, but who knows) (very classic orphan moment) but he gets adopted by a couple and he lives pretty nice for a while!! he even made friends (a total of four friends, but thats enough for him and he's happy about that!) (they move away eventually drift apart) (one of his friends is actually Caden and he had a crush on him but its unrequited <3)

but then through divorce or through something else he gets seperated from one of his moms (sorry gay people T_T🙏) and hes back to living some kind of not very fun life because uhh abandonment moment part 2!!! his other mom doesn't really have a job and she's kinda old so he's trying to help out around the house and find work / get money as well by doing probably dangerous probably illegal things (he has many near-death experiences along the way and i mean Multiple. maybe even a 2 digit number. somehow, he always gets out alive. (its actually because of his unique magic))

anyway uhh his magic potential was acknowledged and he goes to NRC because he got accepted yippee, and he wants to try and make his (still alive, still here) mom happy and try his best in school. he was kinda hesitant to leave her behind at first but his mom went "go for it kid its okay!! u gotta get smarter !!! go to college and get more knowledge!" so he goes. and hes sorted in savanaclaw, he got picked on and ran away from a lotta fights but he toughened up and mostly stays out of trouble.

he meets Caden again and they reconnect though Toby knows he's probably not that important in Caden's life and hes kinda resigned to that fact. honestly Toby's still kinda cheerful and silly somehow like just a silly goofy guy despite a turbulent life not because hes actively hiding the fact that he has issues but because he kinda glosses over/represses them so much that hes convinced hes fine for some reason.

Toby acts very polite and keeps his head down, he's not a troublemaker at all but sometimes trouble just follows him wherever he goes rip. His brush off all the bad stuff/optimistic attidude is kind of why hes in Savanaclaw, he's not really confrontational or like a brave tough guy jock like most of the other dudes. He keeps facing danger and not dying / never sustains any fatal injuries and thats persistent according to the Dark Mirror, i guess.

"How does a non-confrontational person survive in NRC?" i dont know . but hes very nice like Silver and Kalim kind of nice (which is because Tod isn't really a villain) and his grades are average / only slightly above average (A W for him). He misses a lot of people in his life and kind of gets attached to people easily (and sometimes a bit too quickly) but he thinks he's fine and normal so let's not worry about all that !!!

[avatheswiftiefromnebraska]

s/o has bad cramps. 

A/n: hi everyone! I hope your day is going smoothly today <33 zhongli’s is short, because idk how to write for dude, sorry lmao :0 to the anon who requested this thank you and enjoy!!

Summary: s/o has bad period cramps.

Parings: Diluc/Fem! Reader, Xiao/Fem! Reader, Zhongli/Fem! Reader

Warnings: fluff, periods 

Word count: 1.1k

Diluc

you returned home in tears one day and he really thought you were dying

he thought you’d gotten so badly hurt, you were on the brink of death

especially when he sees you holding your stomach, hunched over

“love what’s wrong? are you alright?

he doesn’t know what to do tbh

honestly, he’s clueless

even more so if you’ve run out of herbs to soothe the pain 

Diluc will have to ask around Mondstadt about what the best remedies for cramps are and where he could find some

let's just say it’s embarrassing for him, but all the women he’s asked (Lisa, Amber, even Jean) think it’s absolutely adorable

he cares so much and he truly wants to help you, it’s so sweet!

Lisa was the most helpful; giving Diluc names of a few different bath salts and a herb that helped ease the pain 

Amber had given the same information as Lisa, though saying that the bath salts were your best bet

Jean was NO help, she explained she typically powered through the cramps if she had any

what a LEGEND ughh 

let's be honest, Kaeya knows everything, so it wasn’t a surprise when he showed up at your place, with the herbs you needed

but Diluc was still confused as hell

one, how did he know you needed the herbs?!

and two, somehow Kaeya knows more about it than he does and he’s like !?!?!? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!

“Women on their periods are like demons. She’ll wanna rip your head off and jump you at the same time.”

HOW DOES HE KNOW THIS INFO

that’s all Diluc wants to know, HOWWW

when Diluc returns home with all the stuff, he’s more than happy to help run a nice bath for you and add the bath salts, give you the herbs with a nice cup of hot tea, and help you get settled in bed

tbh, he doesn’t mind if you complain or whine about the pain, it’s just another thing he can’t judge you for

it’s natural and uncontrollable

the best thing he can do, is be there for you and help you no matter what

Xiao

if your cramps are period related, sorry but Xiao is lost af :0 

he’s used to the usual muscle aches and cramps from strain in battle, etc. he’s not human, but he can still feel some variants of pain 

considering you’re his first lover, he has no experience with periods and the unfortunate pain that can come with it

the two female Yaksha he once worked beside never had this issue so he’s even more out of the loop

when he sees you crying about the cramps, at first he’s blunt and a little rude

“why are you crying? are humans seriously this weak...”

trust me he means well, it just came out all wrong

but then he thinks about it again and how harsh he sounded

he knows you wouldn’t cry about nothing, so this is pretty bad

the very first time he experienced your period was when you had asked for a change of pants and underwear

he blushed the tiniest bit when he realized he’d have to go into your underwear drawer and grab you a pair 

he’s much more comfortable now, but back then? you had only been together for a little over four months and you were both taking things slow

he’d never seen your underwear or had been intimate yet, so he was shook af

though, Xiao didn’t think much of it and kindly did as you asked 

but when he stepped into the bathroom and spotted the bloody pants and underwear on the floor?

sheesh, he can only think of one thing

“are you dying?”

he really thinks you’re dying also, like WTAF Y/N WHY IS THERE BLOOD ON YOUR CLOTHES?!?!?!

but nah, you just had a little accident ;-;

“no, not literally. but figuratively, yes.”

poor boy, he’s seen so much blood in his lifetime... his own, his friends, strangers, but it hits different when it’s from you

“what’s going on then?”

“i’m on my period.”

“period?”

“yes. do you know what that is?”

“something I figure only mortals go through.”

“yes, unfortunately, only women...”

“how come I never knew this...”

“it never came up?”

despite being clueless, he learns very quickly over time, that you’re “delicate and fragile” most during your period

he figures basic herbs and pain medicines can do the job, but if they fail?

he’s there to rub any sore spot

naturally he doesn’t have much to say, so he’ll comfort you physically

he’ll ask, “where does it hurt?” and get straight to work as soon as you respond

backrubs? you got it

tummy rubs? he’ll help you, just find a comfortable spot in bed

personally I believe physical affection may be Xiao’s preferred love language; so he definitely gives the BEST tummy/back rubs :)

Zhongli

“are you alright, dear?” 

Zhongli noticed it immediately

that you were holding your lower back as if you’d strained yourself in battle or something strenuous

“yeah, just cramps.”

he’s been around for a LONGGGG time and he knows humans well, so he’s no stranger to periods

he KNOWS exactly what to do

and he’s on it as soon as he hears the words “period cramps”

he knows all the best remedies, maybe even some you’ve never even heard of from “ancient times” as you liked to call it

“are you sure this still works?” you ask seriously, though there’s a hint of teasing behind your words

“humans have evolved a lot.”

“not that much, darling.”

don’t worry, you’re in the best care with Zhongli

he may be broke af, but he somehow always manages to get you the best of the best :)

he’ll do anything you ask, get you anything you want, no matter what

Zhongli will get all the best stews and sweet treats he can possibly find in Liyue, trust me

he may coddle you a bit too much, tbh

if you need to go somewhere, he figures he may as well carry you

excellent piggyback rides btw

like, you’re already in enough pain, don’t put pressure anywhere else

that’s how he sees it

plus, he just naturally wants to take care of you

he does mean well, even if he smothers a bit too much

period cramps hurt a lot, he’s never experienced them obviously, but he can only imagine how bad they are

at the end of the day, he’s the one who’s going to dote over you most

he knows exactly what to do and has basic knowledge on where to get the things to help you feel better

you’ll be in the best hands ever, trust me

HOW DOES THIS KEEP GETTING BETTER. HOWWW

And you are absolutely right, if Julian likes to drag the children into things then MC is more than entitled to dragging Julian's shenanigans with them into daily conversations XD

And Portia's expression?!?!? She doesn't even have the full context yet but you already KNOW that she is so done with her idiot brother, she just isn't sure who to side with yet hahahahahaha

Hello!! What about the M6 with an Mc who still sleep with stuffed animals?? I still need to lol

The Arcana HCs: When MC sleeps with plushies

~ I hope you're ready for some lighthearted, tooth-rotting fluff anon! this one's dedicated to Pooh-boo, my loyal dream guardian of 22 years, and his many friends. thanks for the lovely prompt! - brainrot ~

Julian

Hey, you do you! If it helps you with stress or sleep then he's not one to judge

Seriously though, does it actually help with sleep? What about nightmares, does it help with nightmares? It does? Good to know, good to know ...

He will ask you if they have names and personalities and then suggest you introduce them to him. He will also jokingly introduce himself to them and thank them for their service

He now refers to them as "the children"

If you have any kind of discussion or lighthearted disagreement he will bring up "the children" and tell you that they're on his side

No really, they think he should stay up a few more hours too! They're so invested in seeing how this study turns out, you wouldn't deprive the children of that, now would you MC?

You should really join him at the Rowdy Raven tonight, MC! The children will be fine for a few hours, they think it would do you good as well. Malak can babysit them!

Speaking of Malak, if you get a raven plushie at any point in time it's Julian's favorite child

He will threaten to replace Malak with it if he doesn't behave

He doesn't mind you bringing the plushies to bed as long as he's still the main thing you're snuggling with. He has been known to wake up holding one with no idea how it got there

Asra

They think it's the most adorable thing they've ever witnessed, please never stop, it'll make them so sad not to see you all cuddled up and cute like that

Will snuggle them with you if you're okay with it

Makes a habit of bringing one back from every trip, in all the colors of the rainbow. Sometimes he'll name them in advance and concoct a ridiculous backstory for when he introduces them to you

Back when you were still recovering, they would sometimes leave a dab of their perfume on one of them so you wouldn't miss them too much at night

When you realized that he missed you on his trips too, you went out and got him a small one to fit in his bag and keep him company

They cried a little after you gave it to them (without letting you see)

It really helped him cope with your memory loss to know that you still wanted to be a part of his life, even when your condition and his isolating habits made it difficult

They have a favorite of your plushies and will cuddle it in front of you before they leave so it's charged full of all their snuggles to share with you while they're gone

Faust likes hiding in the pile of them and playing peek-a-boo, popping her little head out at random intervals

She refers to all of them as comfy friend and will threaten anyone who laughs at them

Nadia

Very, very surprised when she finds out, to the point of being momentarily speechless

She's not judging you at all. She just figures that it's a specifically MC thing that you like to do, even if she doesn't understand the appeal

When you start sharing her chambers with her she's initially a little put off by having them in her space

Not because she dislikes them, but because they're seen as childish and she's spent the last thirty years at least doing her best to distance herself from any and all childishness possible

She still likes to spoil you though, so she will regularly purchase new ones for you until you have enough to bury yourself in them

You notice she tends to get owl-themed ones, especially when they're made of similar material to her comfier clothes

She does grow to like them eventually

There's even a few well-founded rumors that she was spotted talking to them when you weren't around for her to verbally process her thoughts

Looking at them becomes almost as soothing as meditating

She will never admit to any of these things

Funnily enough, she does feel the need to be in a different room from them whenever she wants to heat things up with you a little. Something about their innocent little gaze freaks her out

Muriel

He doesn't say anything the first time he sees you hunker down with one, but his face and his mind are both screaming "What."

Genuinely did not know that anyone past the age of five could do that

Assumes that it's because you don't have a familiar yet and this is your way of coping. He knows he sleeps much better with Inanna around

He suddenly decides that he likes your habit when Morga makes several negative comments about it on your trip South. He'll quietly suggest you put it between the two of you so it doesn't roll out

He knows they're important to you, so he makes sure to have a good spot for them in the hut when you move in

Ideally somewhere out of Inanna's reach. You both know she probably doesn't care that much but neither of you wants to find out how quickly she could rip one to shreds if she felt like playing

He does find that they're very soothing to hold and squeeze sometimes, especially after a taxing day

He'll come inside and carefully wash his hands before sitting by the fire with one, idly smoothing his massive fingers over it if he accidentally squeezes too hard

If you charge one full of your cuddles and hand it to him to keep him company while you're gone, he'll turn bright red and sweat

He will keep it nearby and safe until you return though

Portia

She laughs when she finds out

Not the mean kind of laugh, the friendly kind of laugh that thinks it's a little silly but in a good way and very endearing

She loves how cozy they make the cottage feel. Don't just keep them in a heap, put some on the couch! On the chairs to hold a place for unexpected guests! By the fire, but not too close!

She never sleeps with them herself, but she doesn't mind them joining you at all

She does like playing with them though

Most of the time it's just to tease you. She'll hold one in front of her face and wake you up with a silly voice

Other times, if she's bored and in a very specific mood, she'll go full storyteller mode and use them to act out entire epics

The last novel she read? It's being dramatically reenacted on your stomach, complete with little red ribbons for the backstabbing scene:

"Blood! Blood! Blood! And ... DEATH."

You will never be able to read Hamlet the same way again

You were worried that Pepi might try to test out her claws on them but it turns out that she likes to nap in them instead. Which makes her hard to spot, because she is also very small and fluffy and cute

Portia once used an old skirt of hers to make you one for when she took an ambassador trip without you. It's your favorite

Lucio

When he first saw you holding one as a ghost he laughed so hard it made you jump

Gave you so much grief for it at first that Asra finally snapped and threatened to shove one up his -

- you know what, that would be too cruel to the plushie in question

He didn't comment on it again, and later apologized quietly once he had more practice acknowledging his mistakes

He still secretly thinks it's babyish until you ask him to hold one for you while you're juggling your traveling pack

It's so ... soft. And oddly comforting

Tries to hide the fact that he's reluctant to give it back when you're ready to hold it again

But now he reminds you to bring it to bed every night, because you sleep better with it, right? Yeah, no other reason

Except that you keep waking up with it missing, only to find it snuggled under his chin

He claims every time that it just got there because he was cuddling you, and doesn't say anything when you start bringing at least two to bed instead

Throws a fit when you get him one of his own because he's scared that his gauntlet might tear it. He names it five minutes later and now they're inseparable

He got one each for Mercedes and Melchior so they aren't tempted to chew on any of yours. Or his

i hope no one minds if i liveblog this bitch: the dark knight rises

i don’t think anything can top the dark knight, but i hope this one comes close

can’t believe that’s tom hardy

is that a fucking dead body?

it must be so hard for gordon to say nice things about harvey when he tried killing his son

oh shit barbara took the kids and left

GORDON’S GONNA GET FIRED? what the fuck

selina’s nosy ass

she stole his dead moms necklace omg? i like her

he made the bed 😭

alfred: perhaps you should start learning to make your own bed

bruce:

“at this point, i’d set you up with a chimpanzee” pls

alfred loves bruce so much ☹️

i wonder why the wayne foundation would pull funding from that place

oh selina’s good

how tf does blake know bruce was batman???

“this is my party, mr. wayne.” “…oh.” lmfaooo

no thoughts just selina kyle

lmaooo she stole his car

alfred is loving it 😭

surprise, surprise…bane was trained by ra’s

“…sorry.” was he aiming for bruce? 😭

“sir, what about the armed robbers?” dkgjfjs that smile fell so quick

“so that’s what that feels like.” finally, a taste of his own medicine

bet alfred regrets burning that letter

this bruce and alfred scene…

this movie’s kinda slow

not this bitch taking advantage of bruce while he’s clearly vulnerable

bruce kinda deserves to get his ass kicked, ngl. he should’ve just listened to alfred and minded his damn business

why does selina look like she’s two seconds away from crying? she’s the one who led him there

damn they’re tearing that city apart

oh shit he exposed gordon

i completely forgot about bruce existing for a few moments

is that fucking crane??

“he should be so lucky.” 😭😭

i am once again saying that bruce is such a dramatic bitch

I KNEW MIRANDA WAS DIRTY

not bane crying fjvjdjdj

selina is such a queen

alfred ☹️

martha and thomas home for children oh what the fuck i’m gonna start sobbing

ROBIN???? ARE YOU KIDDING ME FKGJGJFKDK

bruce and selina ending up together feels good. feels organic.

howww was there never a trilogy where blake picks up where bruce left off? i would’ve gladly watched those movies bc blake had lots of potential

just. okay. this whole parasocial twitter trashfire is so..... stupid. lol 😐 just the fact that it COULD have been a turning point for how awsten and the fandom interact but he just refuses to learn, refuses to change, and is in fact dedicated to ruining his own life? apparently???

like sure okay all the twitter parxies are going after this one suckup big parxie for being a shitty person, WHICH SHE OBVIOUSLY IS, but theyre completely letting EVERY OTHER PERSON who does the exact same shit as her off the hook?? and even like agreeing with and sucking up to them. these other “big parxies” do the SAMEEE SHIT and just bc theyve turned on their former friend (pretty indicative of what awful ppl they are to gang up on a friend to save their skins but i digress) doesnt mean they havent spent years doing the exact same stupid shit acting like awsten was their friend and overstepping parasocial boundaries and starting fights and drama in the fandom for clout????

and all this started bc awsten expressed negative fan interactions take a toll on him!!! and then what did awsten do immediately after chaos broke out in his little parasocial enclave? thats right, he pretended to give himself a matching tattoo w another “big parxie” who fights for his attention and thinks theyre friends 😐😐😐 like howww HOW do you not see you are causing your own problems!!!! how do you refuse to understand that you should not be close with specific fans and single them out for increased attention from you? do you actually not see that you are fueling these interactions by offering a reward for incessant attempts to get your attention? WHY do you refuse to understand that that is what fuels the toxic parasocial fandom that you claim to hate so much. are you genuinely that fucking brain dead? or are you just unwilling to examine and change your own behavior??????

so now what weve got is the dunces on parx twitter struggling (granted, closer than ive seen them come before) to reach the logical conclusion that everyone with a brain and basic understanding of parasocial relationships (or human interaction in general) has had for years: that awsten should not be singling out specific fans to make them feel like his personal friends because it gives them a god complex and allows them to run rampant in his already insane fandom. and people who see that and want the same attention will suck up to those fans and create this toxic hierarchy among chronically online individuals that then spirals out of control and the blowback then hurts awsten and parx.

and yknow what? it makes being a fan of parx unfun. it sucks!!! even here on tumblr where most of us (most. not all) are sane and understand fan boundaries and why unchecked parasociality is bad, im having a bad time!!! all i do is repeat the same logic, like a broken record in an echo chamber, and bc i refuse to engage w the weirdos causing shit on twitter it never reaches the ppl who need to understand it most. and it sours my view of awsten and quite frankly ruins the enjoyment of engaging w parx?!!??! like how am i supposed to keep writing my silly little fics we all have fun with when i KNOW hes out there on twitter as we speak digging himself a deeper hole. like bitch this is the grave YOU DUG and the fans youve enabled are just the ones to push you in

anyway i dunno its just really sapped my affection towards parx and i like cant enjoy anything they do lately lol :/ like ill see awsten get travis on stage and ill be like “ok cool......... anyway” and it sucks tbh. i want to like parx. i do like parx? but awsten genuinely makes it so hard to be a fan of him and his band lately it is insane -__-

Just listened to this song & idk howww I missed it the first time for the Paychecks playlist 😵‍💫

…A sugar baby anthem. A state of mind. A REVELATION. ‘S very cunty & I’m here for it.

Imagining Reader putting on a show for Lev to this hehe 🫠🫠

P.s. I talk your ear off about how I love the way you wrote Reader on ao3, but it simply must be stated again that she is absolutely brilliant. I see how hard you work to develop her character and it does not go unseen.

I love how observant, kind, and fierce she can be. She’s got a silver tongue and other times is a complete mess. I adore her. I see her as her own character now, and it’s been amazing to see her heal and grow up alongside Levi. And what I can’t get over the most, is how he loves her for these idiosyncrasies all the same. He takes her for what she is. He needs that too.

Sorry for writing you a novel (again) but I just wanted to stop by, scream into the void, and give you a little kiss, if you will have me.

Toodles & remember to take care of yourself!🖤

ALLA I just sat down and listened to your rec and im living for it AAA thank you thank you <3

:(( PLS im going to collapse on the floor and never recover "She’s got a silver tongue and other times is a complete mess." JFKDHFJK YEAH BASICALLY..poor baby. she is doin her best but sometimes ya gotta be a mess ya know??? and levi ;;;; he really sees her flailing and is like "yeah i still want that. idk why but i do" JHFDJKHGDKJGH

THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS as always bb i will always take the smooches <3 TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF TOO!!! <3
