Masterlist / Series: The Littler Things

[pokemonxhyperfixation]

Happy (Pretty damn late) 20th Anniversary PCB!

In honor of thus occasion (and because I've been really into Touhou 19) I made...

RAN!!!!!!

Ninetales is here as a self representation. and that's about it.

Delcatty represents chen! It was originally going to be an espeon because espeon and chen are kinda based off the same sorta thing I think, but I prefered the idea of chen as a delcatty because I love the image of motherly Ran, and Delcatty feels like this pampered, spoiled cat. Also the shiny is red like chen's outfit =}

Metagross is an artificial intelligence that allegedly has 4 brains, and is here in reference to the fact that Ran was kinda just treated as "not really a person, and more of a machine" for a long ass time. Also something about Ran just having a whole ass metagross feels right.

Reunicles is more representative of current Ran (and my perfered Ran), where she's kinda just a super genius. Alakazam could also work here, but something about Alakazam feels more "intelligent in a pertentious way", and that's just not how I see Ran lol.

Pyukumuku and Pachirisu are really odd picks, but I can explain! Both of these are little weird things that take some clever usuage to make work in a competetive setting, and it kinda feels good to give Ran these kinda weird niche pokemon! Pyukumuku comes from personal experience, since I actually quite like using Pyukumuku in gen 7 competetive on Showdown. Pachirisu is in reference to the famous moment from VGC 2014 (I think) where a guy won worlds with a Pachirisu as his core support mon! Both are the kinda weird niche support mons I could TOTALLY see Ran having around. (Also one of the IE changes I really like is giving Pachirisu Fur Coat, and it works since Ran is cannonically really fluffy =)

Hii :3 could I have sum of the creep boys (Ej, Toby, Jeff, Masky and Hoodie) with a reader who likes marking (bites/cuts/hickeys) their thighs? Pls and thank u 💛

This has been collecting dust in my drafts for months, im so sorry bby, i just needed to have my masky and hoodie headcanons in place before posting this😭😭

Also- Ik you said thighs, but i did mention some other places, i hope you don’t mind :3

E Y E L E S S J A C K

Jack is surprisingly unbothered by your habit. He views it with a mix of curiosity and amusement, often analyzing your techniques silently. (like this = 🤨)

"Hmm. Is this an attempt at branding? Or is this just for fun?" His DRY ASS humor makes it hard to tell if he's teasing or genuinely questioning.

He’s not fond of pain but does not shy from it either. The marks don't bother him, they heal faster than you think anyway.

If you center the attack on his thighs, he'll arch a brow and say something quick and sarcastic, like, "I'm honored you've chosen me as your personal canvas."

Jack has super sharp senses, so he's super aware of your touch. If you bite or leave cuts near sensitive spots, hips, or neck, for example, he might tense for a moment but never stop you.

His favorite places for you to mark? His shoulders or his ribs. He finds the sensation grounding in a strange way, though he'll never admit it. (he moaned once)

If you tease him about it, he'll deadpan: "Just don't expect me to reciprocate. My claws aren't…delicate." (😏)

T I C C I T O B Y

Toby is a little awkward about it at first, not used to someone being so physically affectionate in such an intense way. But once he gets used to it? He's all in. (fucking weirdo 😒 / lovingly)

He doesn't actually feel pain like others do, (obv) so he lets you go wild without flinching. "You're gonna have to try harder than that to leave a mark on me," he'd tease, looking down later to grin at the faint bruises or bites.

If you target his thighs, he might giggle a bit, kicking his leg. "That tickles, stop- stop!"

Neck and collarbone marks fluster him the most. He'll try to hide them with his hoodie but secretly love that they're there.

Sometimes, he'll encourage you in his chaotic way: "Oh, you missed a spot. Try here!" and point to random places like his back or ribs, sometimes even shoving his wrists in your face 😭😭

If you ever leave too many marks, he'll grin like a maniac and joke: "Guess I'm your chew toy now, huh?"

J E F F T H E K I L L E R

Jeff would be cocky about it, but secretly flustered. He'd smirk and say something snarky like, "Didn't know you were that desperate to get your hands on me," but the redness creeping up his neck gives him away.

He doesn't mind pain and might even enjoy it a little. If you bite too hard, he'll laugh and go, "Is that all you've got? You're gonna have to try harder."

Loves when you leave marks on his neck, it makes him feel a twisted sense of pride. He'll strut around the manor like a smug idiot, showing them off.

His thighs are a sensitive spot, though he won't admit it. If you target them, he'll squirm slightly and mutter, "Don't get any ideas..." but he won't stop you. (bcs he likes it 😏)

If you leave cuts or scratches, he'll trace them with his fingers absentmindedly, secretly loving the way they look.

"You're turning me into your personal art project, huh? Not that I'm complaining."

T I M / M A S K Y

Masky (Tim)

Tim is not immediately comfortable it, especially if it's in a more vulnerable spot like his neck or inner thighs. He'll tense up and grumble, "What are you doing?" but he won't push you away :3

Over time, he warms up to it, especially when he realizes it's your way of showing affection. He won't admit it, but he finds it oddly reassuring :p

Marks on his shoulders or upper back are his favorite. He won't say anything, but you might catch him subtly glancing at them in the mirror (😏)

If you bite too hard, he'll sigh and mutter, "You know I have to cover that up, right?" while pulling on another layer of clothing (i love him guys)

Surprisingly, he doesn't mind if you mark his thighs when he's sitting or lounging. He might roll his eyes but secretly enjoys the attention.

"You're a little too into this, you know that?" he'd say with the tiniest smirk, though the faint blush on his face betrays him.

B R I A N / H O O D I E

Hoodie (Brian)

Brian is surprisingly chill about your habit and takes it in stride :D

He'll joke, "Do I look like a notebook to you? Or is this some modern art thing?"

He's not huge on pain, so if you bite too hard or draw blood, he might flinch and gently push you away. "Careful, I'm not indestructible."

Loves when you leave hickeys or gentle bites on his shoulders or chest. He finds them oddly comforting and will trace them when he's alone, smiling softly.

If you go for his thighs, he'll laugh and tease you: "That's bold. Didn't take you for a thigh person."

Occasionally, he'll play along and say something like, "You missed a spot," pointing to random areas just to see you flustered.

Brian enjoys the possessive nature of your markings but is too reserved to admit it outright.

Instead, he'll say something teasing like, "Guess I'm yours now, huh?"

I hope this was good enough!! :D

sorry to keep you waiting so long 😭

: ̗̀➛ Knight!Toby x Queen!Reader

Summary: Following announcement of her husband, she meets his knights. Where one seems to catch her eye.

Warning(s): 18 content, crass language, brief mentions of infidelity, silly knights

Any servant passing by through the halls could see the look of disgust, hate and pure irritation plastered on the Queen’s face. King Arthur, her husband, requested her presence at the Round Table. Wanting to introduce her to his most trusted and chosen knights from the courts. She was absolutely aghast that he had come to personally invite her.

“If I do recall, I wished for you to be dead before coming to my door.” She growled, eyes narrowing at him. Arthur sighed, shoulders heavy as he tried reasoning with her. “My dear—” A harsh glare cutting him off. “My Queen. I simply just want you to meet the knights. It’s good for their moral to meet their Queen.” He pleaded, eyes begging. God why did it hurt so much still? To even look at him? And now he wants her to sit next to him for gods know how long?

“I will Arthur, just removed your presence from my damned doorway.” She sighed, turning away from him as shuffled footsteps sounded.

Yes, a fantastical way to ruin the brightness of her morning. Her ladies flanked beside her, one fanning her. They knew her too way, she was anxious. And the anxiety was only going to make her sweat, not what she needed meeting the chosen knights of The King. Especially since the room was most likely musty. As rooms occupying men were, awfully sweaty critters. She didn’t need to embarrass herself infront of them. Before even reaching the door she could hear the loud laughing and talking, how annoying.

“Her Grace has arrived.” One of the door knights called, she stood in the doorway slowly looking over all the knights one by one. Her cold gaze made a few swallow or cough in embarrassment. The men calming and finding their seats one by one. “My darling!” Arthur exclaimed, breathless as he walked towards her holding a hand out. Her lip twitched, by she allowed it. Afterall, in-front of others she must be dignified. Arthur helped her in an empty seat next to his own, carefully tucking her in. Her fingers grazed the table. The very table her father gave as her dowry. To long love and devotion. What foolery.

“Thank you, dear.” She gritted, barely glancing at him as he stood in front of his seat. “Darling, I would love for you to meet Sir Gawin, my nephew. I have waited a long while to be able to call him my knight.” Arthur stood proudly, Gawin bowed to her, bright eyes and all. “It’s so exciting to meet you! My Queen!” He coughed, a faint blush on his cheeks. He was still young, but no matter a proper age. His childish excitement warmed her heart just a little. She smiled, nodding to him. “The honor is mine, dear nephew.” Arthur pointed beside Gawin, a tall bearded man with gentle eyes.

“And Sir Bedivere, one of my— our best loyalists.” Arthur said gently, a small cringe when correcting himself. Oh how kind of him. Tight lip smile nodding to him, before looking to the rest. They took a moment as Arthur introduced the rest, fine men. It took her a while to repeat all their names. Sir Gawin, Bedivere, Kay, Bors, Lamorak, Tristian, Gareth and Sir Percival. Oh yes, this would be so easy. The last two remained. “And this is Lionel a brave man. You should see him drink!” Arthur joked, the rest laughing as Lionel flushed. “Not in front of my Queen, your Majesty.” He slouched. “And my most trusted and fiercest knight. Tobias.” Arthur smiled, finally you noticed the knight almost closest to you. He’d kept his helm on, pressed so far against his chair he looked like he’d become one with it.

But he glanced at you before looking down, bowing deeply. “An honor, my lady.” His voice was deep, slightly muffled by the metal of his helmet. “You may rise dear knight.” You smiled, he was so well mannered, obedient. No wonder Arthur liked him. Soon the meeting progressed, from what you could hear — not that you were really paying attention, they were simply just talking. Man things, some political decisions by mostly things you had no interest of knowing. Occasionally Gawin would try including you, something Arthur had no manners in. Forgetting you, of course. Oh what a sweet boy, how could he still be one after hanging around Arthur. Dimwitted nuisance.

Happy thoughts, don’t drive yourself insane. You noticed how silent Sir Tobias was, mostly like you. Only answering when acknowledged, he seemed to pay no mind. You wondered why he did not reveal his face. An offense no knight would commit lightly, but perhaps he was an expecting Arthur allowed. You began tapping your fingers impatiently, already sick of this stuffy room and Arthur’s horrible jokes.

A knock sounded the grand door before her lady in waiting walked in, “My Queen, lunch.” She nodded towards the others and bowed to the King as you walked towards her. “Do you wish for me to join?” Arthur asked, sheepish as his shoulders tensed. She halted just a bid before turning back towards him. “No need, I don’t want to disturb the rest of your important meeting.” She felt a small bit of pride as she watched his shoulders slump down. Let that be a lesson to him on not annoying her.

“That damned bastard!” She huffed, finally able to remove her shawl in the comfort of her own room, looking over the yard from her balcony. At first, she had wanted to find some other room after that dreaded night. But she chose not too after much consideration.. she never wanted to forget his betrayal. Lessen her heart to him once more. “Please my lady, think less of my brother and more about yourself.” Morgan frowned, fanning her dear Queen and Sister-in-law. Yet, the tapping of her foot continued a nasty little habit she picked up.

“I’m sorry Morgan, I have forgotten myself I shouldn’t have—” Morgan shushed her before patting her shoulder. “I take no offense, I know well by now my brother deserves it.” Her heart ached, she wished she had more people to confide in. But the life of a noble is lonely, Morgan would be her only companion in this life along with Elaine. How much she wished she had Arthur back.. she missed his words. No, it was far gone now. It’d been years and she’s moved on. She’d commit to her duties as Queen, she wouldn’t leave her poor citizens. Even if snuffing Arthur in his sleep was quite enticing.

Sat on the stone bench by her tree, she wrote to her parents. It had been a long while since their last visit and she missed them terribly. She knew better though to tell them anything, they’d wholly trusted Arthur to take good care of her and she didn’t have the heart to tell them his sins. She stared for a good moment at a morning bird perched, staring right back at her. “�� And so I was telling father!” Gawin stopped speaking once he noticed her, quickly bowing. “My Queen! Apologies.” He mumbled, nervous feet shuffling as he turned to reach for Toby.

She smiled, the sweet child was still so.. boyish. Motioning for them, she greeted them both. Of course, Tobias remained silent.. and helmed but she paid it no mind. “Tell me, how are your parents?” Gawin’s eyes lite up, she was talking to him. Actually talking to him! He’d been dying to meet her for so long, all of them had truthfully. But Arthur merely said she wouldn’t understand or wasn’t interested in them. A load of crap he believed but he knew better than to just say it out right. Uncle or not, Arthur was his King. “Oh mom’s doing just fine! Well as fine as she can be, early stages of pregnancy aren’t easy on her.” She raised a brow, leaning back to properly look at him.

“Morgause is pregnant? How wonderful your father must be delighted!” She laughed, she’d have to remember to write to her and say her congratulations. “Indeed! I’m hoping for a girl but you know how Kings are. Boys, boys, boys! All father talks about.” He shrugged, becoming a bit loose, maybe too much but Tobias held his tongue. Not his family, who knew how close the Queen liked being to her family. “What of you Sir Tobias?” She asked hesitantly. He’d just been standing there the whole time, like a statue. Toby shook his head, “No, it’s just me. Mother swore off children after me.” He mused. She laughed, head nodding.

He liked her laugh.. he knew Queens were supposed to be beautiful but she was.. exceptional. “I myself am an only child. Oh I pestered my parents so long for a sibling.” She said, standing and again motioning for them to follow her. Obediently, they took sides of their Queen, almost as if they were escorting her more than talking to her. “What of you and Uncle?” Gawin asked, innocently unaware of how much the question made her eyes twitch. “I’m sure such things will happen as the gods wish.” She replied flatly.

The rest of the walk to the throne room was silent, an obvious tension. Toby couldn’t help but sneak glances at her, hidden eyes set on her. He managed to see her from distances, first time he thought she was a goddess. Rumors did no justice to the Queen’s beauty. Not to mention she smelled heavenly.. was that weird? Shifting more comfortably on her throne she was thankfully nearly no one else was here. Mostly just guards patrolling and standing at attention. Looking back to the two Knights she eased back.

“Please Sir Toby, tell me about yourself.” She had to admit.. selfishly she was incredibly noisy about his story. Especially why his face was hidden. He shifted uncomfortably, Arthur had advised him the Queen wasn’t.. practically interested in them. “There.. isn’t too much about me, Your Majesty. I am but an orphan raised by my mother before she showed me in court.” She raised a brow, leaning forward just a bit prompting him to continue. “Is your mother.. close with the King?” The question tasted bitter, heavy on her tongue. “Not that I know of, more so just an ally.” He answered honestly, shoulders jerking under his armor. The sound itself made him cringe. Before she could ask the grand doors opened, Arthur walked in with his sister Morgan.

“Look at you! As beautiful as ever my dear.” Arthur chuckled, kissing her softly on her cheeks. She rolled her eyes but allowed him, in front of guests she had little to no choice. “Well, thank you Sir Toby, Sir Gawin for walking with me.” A strained smile playing on her lips as she stood abruptly walking down the steps. Toby stretched a hand, steadying her as she approached. “Thank you.” She nodded, sparing him a smile. “Of course, My Queen.” He bowed, watching her walk down the hall and out the door. Arthur patted his shoulder, chuckling. “Beautiful, isn’t she?” Toby stiffened, but nodded. “Yes, Sire.”

“I do say, that Sir Toby sure does have his eyes on you.” Morgan smirked, she barely looked back to her focused on before her. “What nonsense, he’s a Knight and I am his Queen.” She scoffed, but her fiddling fingers told a different story. “I still don’t know why he hides himself.” She asked, prompting Morgan to speak. “Well, some say he has a scarred face. Chewed through his own cheek he did!” She explained, carefully filling the tub with warm water. “Chewed his own cheek? Sure that can’t be right?” Her brow cocked up as she slowly fiddled with the laces of her dress. “They say he doesn’t feel pain, Your Highness.”

As she settled into the water, she allowed Elaine to wash her. “It’s true! I heard the knights talking about it. Teasing him for being shy in front of his Queen.” She hinted, playfully nudging her shoulder. Groaning she hid her head under the water as the two girls laughed. “Arthur allows him though, only exception. They’re incredibly close.” Morgan explained, gently combing her Queen’s hair. That thought alone made her stomach churn. Close? Did he know? Has he ever helped him? Elaine looked sincere as she held her hand. “Don’t worry, I don’t think any of them know of Arthur’s dishonesty. He wouldn’t want to lose such important allies.” She grimaced, an honest truth. Arthur would hide all his wrongdoings just to have them by his side.

: ̗̀➛ Omg okay this sucked ass but I needed to introduce more characters and shit to make sure y’all had everything down. Not writing Guinevere’s name is proving a bit of trouble it’s almost like I gotta. She forcing me beyond the grave y’all. Anyways I just wanna get to the porn BUT NO I PROMISE I SHALL BUILD BACKSTORY…. I just want Toby’s pp:((

Thank you @noctiva @moriitis @z0mb1luvr & @an-3moia for the support!!🖤

Ask Comp 12/05

@carcinogeneticist-writes-fanfic asked: I know your policy has been to hold off listening to the official albums until you're done with HS and I totally get that, wanting to hear them in the context of the comic first is totally valid. That said, would you be willing to give early consideration to Michael Bowman's solo album, "Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido?" It's got the rather dubious honor of being one of only two or three official albums (out of like 30!) to NOT see any rep in the comic at all and I'd hate for you to miss out.

Found it on the Collection! It's generally a very chill album, with a lot of lower-energy tracks that might have been hard to fit in one of Homestuck's high-octane Flash animations.

It's not really my type of music, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate something different every once in a while! I think my personal favorite is Dawn of Man.

@likelyvampirical asked: While on the subject of Bowman, On The Thirteenth Day has been sent to you.

This one's fucking great. It feels like the kind of track you'd hear over the opening/ending to a Homestuck anime.

It also sounds vaguely like Sburban Jungle, but I don't know if I'd call it a remix; it feels more like it's gesturing meaningfully in Sburban Jungle's direction, which I like a lot.

@shelbybunny asked: re: voice headcanons in the (as of writing) latest ask comp; i think a good voice headcanon for John is Toby Fox’s voice in his ska cover of sunsetter or Michael Guy Bowman’s cover of How Do I Live

It's still so weird hearing Toby Fox's actual voice. He feels like the kind of guy who shouldn't have a concrete presence in our reality.

Anyway, these voices are both fairly close to how I imagine John sounding. Toby even looks somewhat like John - or, at least, his hair does.

@heattth asked: Hi, I believe you mentioned once that if Tumblr died you would continue this blog on Discord. I don't know how likely this is to happen, but, could I ask you which server that would be?

I currently run an on-and-off gaming Discord which is open to all the blog's followers. If Tumblr goes down for good, I might just convert it into the new primary liveblogging platform - although Discord has its own issues, so I'm not 100% committed to that. Guess we'll see what happens!

@manorinthewoods asked: I've heard the Hockerberts (Hockengberts?) called the House of J. Unsure how common that is. ~LOSS (28/4/25) @cationicflood asked: the prospit kids may also collectively be referred to as the J-squad, as all four of them have names beginning with J (this is a trait that i do not think any other character outside this group possesses)

Yeah, there's no real way to legibly combine all four names. I came up with 'Prospit Patrol' the other day, and I honestly kind of love it - but I guess that'd technically include the Prospit trolls, too.

Anonymous asked: i think the key difference between jade and jake’s social lives despite being completely isolated is that jade at least had bec and prospit. with jakes dreamself dead (which presumably never woke up) and no guardian to speak of, hes pretty much completely alone out there

Actually a very good point. We eventually learned that Jade was in contact with the White Queen, so she was doing some in-person socialization. Clearly, that mattered a lot more than I realized.

@morganwick asked: Recall that future Jade shared your frustration over causal time loops, wanting ideas to actually come from where they came from. She did manage to get Karkat to be just vague enough to get her to do what she wanted herself to do while still giving herself enough room to come up with as much of the idea as possible herself. Karkat technically didn't even tell her to captchalogue the window, only draw it, the assumption/understanding being that she'd use the scribblepad to do so.

I definitely like that interpretation a lot better than the idea that the information was spontaneously stable-looped into existence, so I'm adopting it as my personal canon. The less loop-generated intel we have, the better.

@that-good-ol-fashioned-mothgirl asked: funny how Jane “biggest fan of a baking empire” Crocker subscribes to empiricism

Clearly, an 'empire' is any organization that values tangible evidence over logical reasoning. Jane's brainwashing is clearly benign - the Condesce is just trying to make her a better skeptic!

@that-good-ol-fashioned-mothgirl asked: the green sun is the theoretically infinite felt on English’s temporal pool table

In other words, the entire multiverse is part of Lord English's game. Seems fitting to me.

@elkian asked: Something I put together recently thanks to your blogging: the more conventially intelligent/sapient a Sprite component, the better a Sprite can communicate with the Player. BUT, these are also more independent and can operate on their own impetus, proving in some cases (like Jadesprite) to be unwilling/unable to help the Player for whatever reason. It's a neat balancing mechanic.

That's actually a really good explanation for why Jadesprite was so independent.

She's not the only one who's exhibited this trait, either - Davesprite also seemed comfortable with resisting sprite programming!

@mhafanlol2000 asked: Dave spent his childhood with Cal, too, and he doesn’t seem hypnotized. What makes you so convinced that Dirk will turn out to be worshipping English, or something?

Ah, but Dave didn't actually own the doll.

Bro was the one carrying it around all day, and he can't be flash-stepping around Dave that often. For the majority of the time, he was the one receiving the lion's share of Cal's miasma, as he has been since the moment he was cloned.

Dirk is the same, of course, but he's only had Cal for sixteen years, while Bro was in his thirties, at least. Dirk seems a lot more normal than his counterpart, so we can at least assume he's less corrupted than Bro.

Anonymous asked: I'm not going to lie, the fact that the entire acts 1-5 of homestuck are ONE DAY is one of my favorite fucked up facts about this story. Like, honestly maybe more than 24 hours passed, but because we got untethered from Earth time immediately after entering and it's not like the Incipisphere has a day/night cycle, A VERY LONG MONDAY AFTERNOON INDEED

The second the camera cuts away from John and Jade, they're going to immediately pass out for a good twenty hours.

Hey, do we think Davesprite needs to sleep? Surely not, right? Alright, he can look after them, then.

@elkian asked: Just wanted to say that I'm loving the liveblog in general, and in particular I really like your take on how the Alpha timeline works. "Based on what this character would most likely do in this situation" not only frees it from some of the rigidity of predestination, which can definitely get stifling or flatten a story if taken too far; it's also a good explanation in terms of meta. It works as both a general explanation and story-themed one, and I like it a lot. Seems accurate, too!

You can thank Terry Pratchett for putting the idea in my head, back when I was first reading Night Watch. It's a really satisfying way to resolve the identity issues surrounding time travel, isn't it?

@drakethedeep asked: Keep that thought in mind regarding a timeline involving interfering with the green sun. On a similar train of thought, timelines seemed to become doomed when they can no longer contribute to the timeloop that created them to begin with. For example, in the first doomed timeline we see, because John dies, he cannot perform the ectobiology that results in the creation of him and his friends/family. so keeping that in mind, what conclusion/ theories about the alpha timeline do you have?

Initially, I thought that any timeline which could no longer satisfy its own loops would be instantly doomed - but that would have caused Davesprite's timeline to fade long before Future Dave actually left, since John's death immediately made the Veil cloning impossible.

However, the wording you use here comes close to fixing that issue. Davesprite's timeline could never fulfil the time loop created by John's Veil cloning - but it still contributed to the Alpha Timeline, via Davesprite. Maybe a timeline only fades once it can no longer contribute to the Alpha in any way whatsoever.

@wolygan asked: Kinda neat how as Sollux is dying his powers change from the red and blue to just his blood colour, as if he is casting from his health instead of just having an ability, now that his eyes are burnt out.

Oh, interesting. I didn't consider that!

Sollux has said he's retiring his duality schtick, and apparently that includes his red/blue motif. After all, he's not really 'the duality guy' anymore - he's just Sollux.

@liliflower137 asked: This is probably a little late as I'm still catching up but,,, gush, Vriska's conversation with John, where she expresses regret, where she thinks back on what she has done… It made her my favorite character for a while. Just. The potential of her learning to be different, of becoming something more than the world she was born into. Seeing a character so HORRIBLE, so AWFUL, turn around and… realize. It's so powerful.

Yup. Super fucked up that she died before she was able to complete her metamorphosis - but I'm confident that her story's not over. After all, we've already started hanging out with her ghost!

@liliflower137 asked: Hello!! I am not quite caught up yet but your description of Scratch as thinking like an author is BRILLIANT, I never would've thought of that and it makes him make so much more sense!!! Man he's way more interesting to me now, thank you!!! This liveblog continues to be the most fascinating read of all time!!

Thanks - it just made sense to me, y'know? Scratch even talks a little like Hussie sometimes, and the idea that he's a pseudo-author is the only thing I can think of that explains some otherwise extremely strange phrasing on his part.

@liliflower137 asked: Hello hello again! I've just seen the map you showed of Rose's coordinates and you can literally see the town i live in on that map!! So I can tell you Northern New York State, at least around that section, is VERY rural. The closest Starbucks is in Canada and its mostly dairy farms and cornfields around here! New York is a big state and aside from the city itself and some other places it's actually surprisingly empty. Hell, I've lived here for like 9 years and I've never even been close to NYC! But its definitely not remote, people live and work in that national park nearby! And there's plenty of burger kings for sure. (I'd even say maybe the one 40 minutes away was the one in my town but I'm pretty sure it opened after I moved here so probably not) It's so wild I could pretty easily drive to where Rose's house would've been… crazy.

Oh, fun - it's like you're her neighbor!

If you're that local, you might be living closer to Rose's address than any other Homestuck fan on the planet. You've got to be at least in the top ten, right?

@liliflower137 asked: Another addition to the jade seer of light fakeout that I've noticed during my own reread (inspired by yours!) Remember Jade's wardrobifier? One of her possible shirt symbols was the symbol for the Light Aspect!

Hussie's Trick continues to bamboozle the unprepared.

@liliflower137 asked: After sending you a bunch of asks while reading, I'm finally caught up!! Whew I can finally stop accidentally staying up until like 5am reading your incredible analysis and being distracted at work! I'm free!! Thanks for the ride!!

Hah, this really is a serious compliment. Don't worry, I've been staying up till pretty close to 5 lately as well. That's what happens when you're gaming on a server in a US timezone!

Anonymous asked: hello ms wertsearch! i have just finished binging your entire liveblog in lieu of any meaningful way to access homestuck OR the unofficial homestuck collection (kind of a lie - i'm sure it's on the wayback machine) and i have to say you might just be the ideal homestuck reader! you analyze these characters AND this story so quickly and perfectly it is very awesome to read. i cannot wait for you to stick it out through the rest of act 6! have a wonderful day!!!

Thank you so much! As far as I'm aware, there are still a couple of unofficial mirrors of the comic floating around online. I asked around on the Discord and was provided with this link, which seems perfectly functional to me.

Anonymous asked: I just want to send a message to let you know how much I appreciate and enjoy your blog. Ive had a very rough couple of years (who hasn't, right?) and reading this blog has been such an escape. It makes me feel like I'm 13 again and reading homestuck on the school computer with my friends. You have such insightful things to say about the comic. I never really jelled with the homestuck fandom outside of my irl friends I read the comic with, so your blog is kind of like a second shot at participating in the fandom for me. I'm having so much fun. Thanks for doing this. <3

As always, messages like these are the greatest motivator I have for continuing to liveblog. I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but thank you for sharing! :)

Anonymous asked: Your liveblog is So fun to read, especially when you predict plot points that are either extremely true or extremely false (like when you theorised at the very beginning that jade was genetically modified to be a sburb player! Or when [spoiler] and also [spoiler] and especially [spoiler]) Are you planning to read through your own liveblog when you've finished reading the comments to see how many things you jokingly predicted that came true? Or are you relying on asks to point out things like that?

I'm definitely reading through it when I'm done! I've even half-jokinly considered liveblogging the liveblog, but that might be a bridge too far even for me, lmao

@manorinthewoods asked: I've found another HS liveblog! 'researchhpurposes'. They've not made it through Act 5 yet, so hopefully they're spoiler-free - although, like you, they're going in only mostly blind, so there might be a stray thing here or there. Going to read through and see if there's anything extraordinary. ~LOSS (29/4/25)

(I'm noticing they *do* engage with reblogs, so without reading the whole thing, I'd say there's probably *some* spoilers. -V)

I can't wait to take a gander at some other liveblogs - but, yes, strangely enough, some of them can still spoil the comic, even if they're even farther back than I am!

@mrjocrafter asked: Once Upon a Time, a serialized live action soap opera / fantasy show with a batshit convoluted plot on par with Homestuck (i highly recommend it) has this concept called The Author, who's an individual blessed/cursed with the power to rewrite reality by literally writing in book(s), but if this power is suppressed, overpowered, or lost, the wielder is just some guy with a pen/quill. This is how I like to think of character!Hussie in Homestuck.

I've actually been watching a Once Upon a Time retrospective series on YouTube, and it's been an enjoyable watch so far. I even checked out the first couple of seasons myself - and, yes, batshit is exactly how I'd describe the average day in Storybrooke. Why the fuck wasn't it in Kingdom Hearts?

Anonymous asked: Yo so i was just rewatching Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and i was thinking since you like homestuck you should watch that if you haven't seen it already. Similar vibes. It's super excellent, it stars Elijah Wood. It did get cancelled after season 2 which sucks but each season is its own story with its own resolution. The stuff they were setting up for season 3 looked so dope tho, it's so tragic i'll never get to see it. It's the only thing that gives me the same feeling as homestuck. I don't want to like, say what it's about cuz like homestuck i think it's best to just jump in blind. If you have already seen it i'd love to hear your thoughts.

I haven't seen it myself, but I know the book it's based off. Dirk Gently shares an author with one of my favourite series, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, so I feel like the show is probably up my alley too. Will definitely add it to the list!

Anonymous asked: Community is a sitcom about a study group at a community college. I recommend it, it's got a wit to it that I think you'd like.

I've seen a couple of clips of Community, but it didn't really click with me. That said, it's hard to judge the overall quality of a show from just a handful of clips, so I may give it another chance.

@manorinthewoods asked: There's a further benefit to the three-year time skip; it'll bring the characters roughly in line with the IRL time movement. April 2009 -> November 2011 is five months off the three-year timespan - which is sensible, since you need that time to actually write the story. Five months is. Probably a reasonable expectation, from the outset, for how long it might take to progress to the end of the timeskip - but, of course, this is a webcomic, and webcomics are very well known for taking absolutely ages to write. ~LOSS (29/4/25)

If that's true, and Hussie is timing things so that the kids emerge in November, then they're kind of playing with fire here.

I mean, committing yourself to maintain a consistent posting schedule for five months? Couldn't be me, is all I'm saying.

SIDEMEN BRUTALLY RANK MORE YOUTUBERS | H. Lewis

˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡˚

summary: cozy day in with your boyfriend and watching the sidemen

tags: fluff, w2s x reader

warnings: slight cursing (not really)

a/n: instead of doing my literature essay I completed this story hope you guys enjoy!! more stories and stories about other youtubers are coming soon! ⋆｡˚

-

“Welcome to MoreSidemen, where the Sidemen, talk badly, about other youtubers” Simon says as the others cheer jokingly.

You giggle quietly while watching the video, leaning back into your boyfriend’s arms. Harry said you were one of the people they ranked and asked if you wanted to watch it with him. And, of course, you agreed because who wouldn’t. You watch Harry as he gets up from the couch to go get a snack.

"You look good in this video by the way," you complemented him as your eyes wandered back to the screen. "I reckon I look good in every video, don't know what you mean..." He remarked. You rolled your eyes and playfully shoved him when he sat back down next to you only to be grabed by the waist and pulled closer to him.

"They are our friends, so don't take any of these seriously," Simon continues with a disclaimer, knowing how the internet would react if he didn't. "Maybe not for much longer if I get ranked last for any of the nice ones." You say, half-accusingly glaring at Harry. He puts on a guilty look and shrugs.

"Which Youtuber would you most want backing you up in a fight, we have seven people." The said seven people then popped up at the bottom of the screen. It was you, Deji, Theo Baker, Callux, Danny Aarons, Randolph, and Calfreezy. “Oh shit, it’s my girlfriend oh no,” Harry says, putting his hands in his face. The guys laugh at him and Vik says, “someone’s sleeping in the dog house tonight.” "Bro you better watch what you say."

"Who'd you want most", "Well Deji has got to be number one", "Yea Deji number one," they say in agreement. "Hey! What about me," you say, turning around to pretend to punch Harry. He ducks out of the way and says, "Come on Y/N, he's literally a professional boxer". "Yeah well...I can throw a punch too." You grumble, turning back around to face the television.

"...Theo's up there because he's pretty w..." You hear your boyfriend say in the video. "I could take him down," you mutter. "I know you could okay Y/N," he says as he kisses the top of your head. The guys continue discussing their rankings, not once mentioning you at all. "Okay now hold on a sec, because I personally think Y/N could pack a punch you know, I feel like she's got the temper enough to take a bitch down." Simon reasons with the group.

"Remind me to give Simon a big hug the next time we see him." You say gleefully, happy someone finally recognized your strength. "Yeah, I agree. I think she has the ride-or-die kind of mindset because she will fight for you and what-not, god I love her." Harry says. You look up lovingly at him and kiss his cheek.

"So we're going Deji, Theo, Danny, Lux, Y/N, Freezy, Randy," they say as they list out their rankings. "Are we sure about Freezy and Randy?" Tobi asks, to which Harry responds, "Y/N loves getting into fights so yeah..." You glare at Harry, unsure if it was a compliment or not. "You know she's actually mad strong. The other time she accidentally turned around and elbowed my stomach and it had a huge bruise for a week," Josh added. "Does that mean you're just weak then?" Simon says. The lads just laughed and before Josh even tried to defend himself, Simon already started talking about the fan's rankings.

"Randy's third? And Danny's six?" Simon says in disbelief. "No way I think Randy and Danny swap," Harry says, he looks down the lists and sees you've been ranked at sixth. "Wait no way they voted Y/N as last. Guys have you seen her during our challenges, she would take a bitch down," Harry continues. You thanked him for 'defending your honor' and gave him a big smooch on the lips.

They continued to disagree with the fan rankings, but you honestly couldn't care less anymore. Knowing that your boyfriend thought you were tough and could hold your own was enough for you. You begin to dose off as the video continues playing, hearing Harry chuckle every now and then when his friends make a joke, as he combs your hair unconsciously.

However, one of the questions you hear as you fall asleep catches your attention. "Which youtuber is the most attractive?" You sit up, curious about what would be their rankings. The rest of boys in the video look at Harry, thinking that he would instantly say his girlfriend, but boy were they wrong. "Number one Callux," Harry says immediately. You both burst out laughing as he continues to try and correct himself, in the video, realising his girlfriend was also in the list. You pretended to act offended as Harry 'apologises profusely', peppering kisses all around your face. You couldn't help but giggle at your boyfriend's adorableness.

Laying back down in your boyfriend's arms as he wraps them tightly around you, with the video playing in the background, you look up at Harry, wondering how did you get so lucky and how much you love your life.

Been thinking about your team ro time travel and team ro defect crossover and I just. I've been rereading keanblade's stuff recently so i have a very specific tobirama in my head and the idea that he'd take one look at this group of sad dissilusioned young adults/children and be like guess i'm a father of 5 now and rewrite his entire priorities around that. Like, you mentioned in the of team ro time travel you liked the idea of having half hatake tobirama in the mix and i'm an enjoyer the idea hatake tend to just adopt children wily nilly like oh look more pack, I think i will thank you very much. Just tobirama absconding with this entire group that has no incentive to return to their own time and being like i'm the dad now (yes some of them are barely younger than him, no that doesn't change that he's everyone's dad fuck off). He gets to teach kakashi all kinds of hatake things! Show him how to be a little wilder like the hatake of the warring states! If you subscribe to the theory he helped hashirama learn how the mokuton worked he could tenzo with his mokuton. The funniest option is that somehow all of this leads to peace without izuna dying and they werent even trying for that. Like, tobirama just straight up ditching everything to take care of a bunch of depressed teenagers and a kid, over half of which are uchiha, and being SO fiercely protective of his little pack of murder children and the uchiha seeing this and being like. Huh. I thought that guy hated us? He just. Is living in the woods with three uchiha and treating them like his specialest little guys. An uchiha patrol runs across them and tobirama is patting itachi on the head for a good job learning whatever insane jutsu he's currently teaching team ro because those are his kids and of course he'd teach them to be as strong and terrifying as he could. Makes them think. Bonus points if this also somehow leads to madatobi and/or when the village does get built tobirama always looking to team ro before agreeing to any plans cuz they know what didnt work the first time, having not only been affected by it in the worst ways but left because of it in their time. Does this make the village better? Who knows. But they're certainly trying.

Sorry for the long thing, this has just been plauging my thoughts. I dont even know if i explained my idea well it's just been banging around in my brain for too long and i needed it out

Based off [THIS] au about Team Ro defecting from Konoha after Kakashi, having been told the truth of his fathers sabotaged mission and the slander campaign against him by Orochimaru, interrupts Shisui's murder at Danzo's hand, leading to the entire team + Sasuke to flee Konoha-- and then accidentally time travel into the warring states era, years before Konoha was set to be founded.

(This is already long, so the reply is below the cut ->)

OK FIRST OFF IM SO SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO REPLY TO THIS OOPS I HOPE I DIDNT KEEP U IN SUSPENSE

Woahh Keanblade mention !!! I love their stuff, they have some great fics and I love their brain. I haven't read their fics in a while actually, I should like go brush up on my keanblade lore / characterization at some point

IM YELLING THO IM SO ?? HONORED ?? TO HAVE SPARKED SMTHN IN UR BRAIN ACTUALLY, IM EATING THIS UP I LOVE IT THANK U SM FOR SENDING ME THIS I HAD SO MUCH FUN READING UR IDEAS !! AND YOU SENT ME SO MUCH TOO, SO MUCH FOOD TO DEVOUR ! Thank you for sending them to me I am giving you a little kiss right on ur brain

Tobirama really said "wow I can't believe I have to adopt these guys now"

Hashirama, probably: "Otouto you really dont have to--"

"I can't believe the world itself is making me adopt these sad, lost children."

"Children? Otouto, they aren't exactly--"

"I MUST take them in. I'm FORCED to, even."

"Tobi, no one is saying you--"

"I really have no choice in the matter. There are NO other options for them."

"Tobirama, please--"

The fact that Tobirama is like literally the same age as Kakashi and then they're just barely older than Shisui and Tenzo makes the whole thing so much funnier. It's probably for the best that he didn't try to dad them fr fr bc Im pretty sure the only one here without some form of daddy issues is like. Sasuke. Who is also 7.

(Which could be argued against tbh just depending on ur specific interpretation of Fugaku's dynamic w his kids on any given day)

So I imagine trying to actually parent various members of team ro comes with the risk of accidentally stepping on a landmine and potentially causing incredible violence and years of baggage to explode outward. I love my traumatized shinobi boys !!

Big brother Tobirama my beloved tho !!! Do u think he has complexes about being a big brother I think he has complexes and also that we should totally explore that, send tweet

Tobirama cave hermit arc !!! Madara had his turn, now it's his!

Team Ro really showed up, immediatley got thrust into an (unwilling, unwanted) custody battle, then got fucking SNATCHED by Tobirama before they could try and make a run for it, and just kinda,, decided to go with it? I guess? Fucking gold, actually. How the actual fuck did Tobirama convince them all to stay with him, the world will never know.

The man teleported the group of them into a forest alone, (instantly outnumbering himself) and went "this means I won the custody battle btw." and team Ro just went "I mean its better than being stuck with Uchiha Madara I guess." and went with it

Im not going to lie I fucking pictured Madara stumbling across the cave and team ro yapping at him like little chihuahuas and fucking lost my mind actually, needed to take a second to regain my sanity (in a good way)

Do u think Hashirama yells at Tobirama when he comes back home for publically kidnapping some mystery uchiha (plus others who were not very recognizable and thus do not matter as much) in front of the uchiha clan. Does Tobirama come back home? Does he just decide to become a cave hermit somewhere in the woods with his hashtag found family who may or may not fully want to be there? (they must, to some degree, want to be there-- if only because Tobirama Senju might be talented but he is also 18 at the time and nowhere near the height of his power. And Team Ro is many things, but unskilled is NOT one of them)

I forgot Tobirama knew ab the time travel for a sec and pictured him looking at Sasuke, this little clone of Izuna, and going "Hmm. You look exactly like my rival does and no doubt belong to the Uchiha main house."

"Does this mean you'll give us to the uch--"

"No."

(Finders keepers !!)

"Madara, the most uchiha uchiha in who knows how long before itachi and sasuke came along to give him a run for his money" is so fucking funny actually, I am internalizing that line and will probably suddenly think about it later at work and giggle to myself, I can already tell

If Izuna and Hashirama are both being little bitch boys in this I do need to advocate that they should totally get to kiss and be little bitch boys ✨ together ✨(the hashiizu agenda never dies) (let them begrudgingly get a drink together--though its Izuna who does most of the begrudging--get drunk while whining about their brothers, and then share a very ill advised kiss or two that Izuna will now deny ever happened till the day he dies)

I still think Tenzo should get to bond with Hashirama bc I love them getting to interact, but Im hearing your 'bad brother Hashirama' vibes for this spin off and nodding respectfully, so like. Maybe Hashirama can be sad about Tobirama monopolizing Tenzo, literally THE only other Mokuton user in the world's time, and be mad ab that too? I dont usually write explicitly bad brother Hashirama so I'm not too good at proposing how that could go tbh but I love the soap opera / dogblood drama vibes, it's so fun

I do think that some of team Ro could be useful at the peace talk / village planning meetings if they spoke up !!

Itachi may be young but is clan heir, and no doubt knows most of the modern day clan laws that Konoha would one day put in place, so he can suggest those knowing that it's what they'd eventually land on anyways.

Meanwhile Kakashi is the student of a Hokage, who watched over the shoulder of two different Hokage's, from ages 13 to present, so he absolutely knows a thing or ten about politics and running a village (at least from an outsiders perspective) Which. Actually technically makes him the most eligible / knowledgeable person like. In all of the peace talks when it comes to running a village which is fascinating. I'm jotting that one down to reference later in my original team ro time travel fic actually, there's a lot that can be done with that

ALSO !! If this is the 'team ro time travels to warring states era' au but like, with the team ro that defected from Konoha, they totally have Opinions(tm) about Konoha, which is so fun. I feel like Shisui has the sort of personality where he might actually be vocal about things when it comes to founding Konoha.

The way that the team stood whenthey left the village, Shisui and Itachi were both still majority village loyalists (though their loyalty had been deeply shaken)

Tenzo was high key "whatever my teamamtes say I will follow" but still has Konoha's roots buried deep into his heart.

Kakashi was the most complex-- the only one who it could truly be said was against the village, and for that I think he's interesting to play with and has motivation to get inolved in village making-- or the opposite; Want nothing to do with it.

IM YELLING ACTUALLY AT TEAM RO GENRE CHANGE THTS SO FUNNY

It was actually never time travel, it was straight up dimension travel. They fr went from a grimdark angst fic to a silly fluffy cracky fuckin, blessed eyes au where Tobirama is actually secretly a Good Boi(tm) and his indescribable riz and way with children make Madara forget about the whole mutual genocide thing

(Plot twist: Izuna and Hashirama arent actually bad brothers, they're just not aware of the genre they're in and reacting accordingly to their brothers doing a sudden 180 and ending the war with the ✨power of love ✨ and also adopting several teenagers (some of which are literally their age) who appeared out of nowhere, have no credentials, two of which are technically CONFIRMED BLOODLINE THEIVES (Kakashi willing and Tenzo unwilling, lab grown mokuton stolen from Hashirama's dna is STILL BLOODLINE THEFT, thanks Orochimaru) and are losing their GODDAMN MINDS over the turn of events)

Anyways this whole thing was a riot, I loved it and u are a master at silly fluff and comedy, I had a lot of fun reading what you sent me !!!

Ik u were aiming for silly fun so I hope my additions didnt take anything too seriously, I am in my shinobi politics 'writing everything as being played straight' era, so tried my best to stick with silly fluffy fun time comments instead of tripping and falling into the political implications of, like, a disillusioned with Konoha nukenin Kakashi, at the age where he was near his most depressed and apathetic, who is also technically the most qualified person in Fire to discuss making a village, being let in on village planning with implicit backing from both the Uchiha head and Senju heir. Or how itachi in the original (non nukenin) au was down to kill Madara, but the him in this au now has even more motivation to do it. N other fun implications like that

BUT LIKE I LOVE THE FLUFF I LOVE THE SILLY

politics free zone !!! we are not making eyecontact with the drama bc this is team Ro's vacation, actually

anyways THANK YOU FOR SENDING ME SUCH A WONDERFUL AND DETAILED ASK !!! UR BRAIN IS SO BIG FOR IT, I HAD SO MUCH FUN READING IT AND THINKING ABOUT IT AND IM SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO REPLY TO AND I JUST HOPE I REPLIED WELL ENOUGH SDKFJHDSFJKDSHFJSDk

umm and then they all lived happily ever after, the end

[the-heart-of-leo]

Nick's so far under the bus that they might as well change the oil while they're under there.

Okay, because I'm a bit of a masochist and I have adblockers...

I'm going to count how many times James throws Nick under the bus:

@2:40 – 'This fell upon Nick as well, as a non-binary person on the ace spectrum, they wanted to include asexuality and non-binary representation to our videos. But because Nick's experience is not universal – There is no universal experience – people felt that we were delegitimizing their own experiences because we focused on Nick's.' (The reason we were acephobic was because we (meaning Nick) didn't think other ace people had problems and when it was pointed out to us by The Ace Couple that ace people did, in fact, face discrimination and conversion therapy, we (meaning James) accused them of homophobia and sicced their followers on them.)

@6:38 – 'The work Nick and I were doing on the channel...' (Because Nick was here too! Not just me!)

@10:46 – 'I was much more interested in the production of the videos than the writing of them, at this point. So after three or four videos, I brought Nick on as a main writer for the channel. The idea is that they would write the vast majority of the scripts. I would film, voice, and edit the videos and we'd split the money that came in.'(Nick was the main writer for the channel! In case you forgot...)

@14:40 – 'And then my mom died... and I became completely useless. I couldn't think straight, at all, so Nick had to completely take over writing duties.'(DID I MENTION NICK WAS THE MAIN WRITER. ALSO MY MOM DIED; FEEL SORRY FOR ME)

@19:44 – 'When Nick got back, he believed the script needed a first page rework. This was also when he told me he was going to be moving back to Ontario permanently soon as he wanted to live closer to family and live in a bigger city with more opportunities. This was a punch to the gut for me. We'd been living together since 2015 and had become quite dependent on each other. I felt like there was no way I could make this movie without him.'(We couldn't make the movie we promised because SOMEONE DECIDED TO MOVE and since I'm co-dependent on him, I moved with him and screwed up everything. Oopsie.)

@26:32 – 'But by accepting as many sponsors as we did, which became very important when Nick and I started living apart and suddenly had two rents to pay, we ended up needing to produce even more videos. Which, along with the work on Telos and making sure everything was okay with my dad while living thousands of kilometers away meant I had even less time for writing – putting more stress on Nick and leading to even more copy and pasting from me.' (See what you did, Nick?! We have to pay TWO rents now and we need to make even MORE videos. I'm not creepily co-dependent on my asexual ex-roommate at all!)

@32:50 – 'I know what misinformation had made its way into our past videos. That was not something we intended; in some cases it was information I was told by people I considered experts. In other cases it was information that we had researched. In other cases it was things that Nick had learned in university.'(Nick told me some of this stuff! ((which is fair because NICK ADMITTED HE DOESN'T DO RESEARCH)) In other cases it was because I assumed I knew what happened because I'm the smartest person I know so of course Lesbians had it easier! I just forgot that Radcliffe Hall's books were banned and destroyed because of that head injury I talked about earlier.)

And here's an honorable mention where the smug “I'm smarter than you” BS comes to visit:

'To those who say I plagiarized the plot from the novel Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix – Read the book. It's nothing like the plot of the movie. And 'The Final Girl' is a trope in horror movies so if using the Final Girl trope is plagiarism then basically everyone who's made a slasher movie since Texas Chainsaw Massacre owes the Toby Hooper estate some money.'

So, much like how James doesn't understand why people aren't upset at him because of citation issues, he doesn't understand that it's not the fact that he's using the 'Final Girl' trope... it's the fact that he stated the book as a favorite of his and then... suddenly he's writing a movie about the aftermath of the Final Girl. And given the plagiarism, it can not be taken in good faith.

First off, if you just google 'First Final Girl', it just says Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of the earliest examples. Another possibility for the 'First Final Girl' was actually Black Christmas which was released the same day in Canada so it is literally tied.

Secondly; the final girl trope is not required for slasher movies. One of the first 'proto-slasher' movies was actually Psycho so there were a few good decades between that and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. (I could try and make a case that Lila Crane should count as a Final Girl; maybe even Mrs. Bates/Norman as a subversion... but I'm not that invested or interested.)

So... James was true to form, he just wanted to be a smug asshat and try and seem smart over something easily googled.

[pasta-in-the-pudding]

helloo this is my first time requesting so please bear with me

can i request for for a scenario with a male reader who has no care for the world and just goes with the flow so when the killers try to kidnap or kill him he’s just chill and like 😐 any killer are fine :)

thank you and feel free to ignore if you’re uncomfortable!

Ooh im so honored to be your first ask! I hope this does you justice!

Tw: kidnapping, mentions of torture

Thank you so much for requesting

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Toby

He gets very worried when he sees you aren't reacting

Did he do something wrong? Are you the wrong person? Oh god, did you even know you were being kidnapped??

He's pacing back and forth in front of you, almost forgetting that you're there

That is, until you sigh loudly through the rag that was shoved into your mouth

He looks up at you "what?"

You raise a brow before looking down at the rag

"Oh." He mutters, coming to be in front of you and taking the rag out

You cough and move your tongue around, trying to get rid of the cotton mouth "so when can i go home?" You ask

He looks at you, bewildered "uh...do you not see what's happening? You're being kidnapped."

"No, i got that part, i just have work in the morning so i don't wanna be late for that"

He sighs and rubs his eyes before looking at you once more "no, you see, I'm not going to be returning you home. You are staying here, until your family pays the agreed ransom amount"

You sigh "darn. Alright."

He shoves the rag back in your mouth and continues to contemplate on his worries...

Brian

One of the reasons he enjoys his job, is that he at least gets some sort of gratitude out of it

Knowing his victims fear him, makes him feel strong and superior

So when he kidnaps you and you don't care, that really ticks him off

He doesn't show it at first, trying to get you to fear him in the easier ways, such as telling you all of the things he's gonna do, telling you that you're gonna be here forever, etc

And when that doesn't work, he amps up the pressure a little, threatning you, threatning your family and friends, etc

And when that doesn't works, he amps it up a little more, holding his gun to your head, slicing various parts of your body with his knife, etc

One way or another, he will get you to fear him, he doesn't care what it takes

Eventually, he will even go as far as to leaving you alone, tied to a chair in the dark, with no one else but yourself to keep you company

How long he leaves you like this depends on how angry you made him

It may range from just a day or to a week or so

The longest he'll let you stay down there by yourself is until you are on the brink of starvation, he needs you alive, after all...

Eyeless Jack

Personally, he couldn't care less whether or not you react to being kidnapped

In fact, it makes his life easier if you don't react

He can catch up on his other work, harvest your kidneys, study, read

The list goes on, really

So it's actually better this way, and he appreciates you not wasting his time trying to thrash around, scream or escape

He doesn't tell you that though, of course

He's probably the person you want to get kidnapped by, all things considered

If you are good, he will eventually start getting you some fast food for your meals

He will also untie you for an hour or so, and let you walk around

Staying active is necassary, you know

And who knows? If you ask nicely enough, he might just bring you some crossword puzzles to keep your mind occupied

All that being said, do not mistake his kindness for mercy

One wrong move and he will make you wish you'd never been born...

New & Improved Design of my CRP Oc/Sona! (Sort of)

So here’s some thoughts & details more about her I also provided color scheme for anyone who may want to draw her?? I know I’m not that popular but it would be so greatly honored to have that! 🫶😭

First I want to start off with the AGE OF HER!

So, in her backstory over the course of months part taking her backstory she is 18-19 years old, by the time she meets Slendy/Operator(?) it is in fact close to her birthday month. (Now I have no ideas for names or a different birthdate for her other than my own name & birthday)

Around the time she is finally in the mansion & has been there for at least a couple weeks it’s her birthday then that’s when she will endure the “proxy” sickness or whatever it is called just the sickness where she gets her powers, by the time her powers are finally overtaking her & finished she is at least around 19 or 20 years old. Then on the course of years she been there canonically she is around 20-22 years old! FULL GROWN YOUNG ADULT!

Secondly, her power!

Now I want to mention that yes at first I wanted her to be a very powerful “being” (will explain the ‘being’ part later) but in actuality, her power is actually not the strongest. Her power like mention in my story/ideas post that she has these powers where she can morph into this “demon type thing”; like sleep paralysis, but it takes up a lot of her energy. So she does not use it a lot, only for the “stunning” part where she makes the victim “paralyzed” like how sleep paralysis is. Then either she attacks the victim with the switchblade/pocket knife or the other proxy along with her on the missions gets their kill in. Of course when she uses her full power she is powerful absolutely yes, but it takes up so much of her energy that she needs to chill out & tag along with the other proxies & kill them how the others do.(such as how Jeff & Toby are both very much human with good amount of strength, that is what she would have to do instead of using her power.) Now she does still have that power where she’s in her demon form & she can use the red mist / shadow stuff to have it travel into the victims eye sockets & mouth, infecting them, along with this is when she infects them you can see red veins (glowing) travel up to the victims minds/brain, she then can see & hear their thoughts & dreams; marking her name as The Dream Reaper. She also then has them fade away into her “realm” of the souls she has “reaped”, so she can gain more energy. This also if the other proxies knock out the victims & she’s near, she can be able to send them directly to her “realm” to reap their soul, then even share the soul to feed for herself & the proxy that helped her. (Sharing is caring ya know?)

Now her weakness.

Previously mentioned she doesn’t use her full power all the time, due to draining her so badly. If she completely is drained she will grow sickly again like when she was getting her powers & end up having those dreams again that come to life. If she is that desperate & cannot use her power for gathering energy, she may end up in a cannibalisic state where another proxy needs to bring her a victim knocked out & have to be kept in a room for her to actually feed on the victim. THIS IS A IDEA NOT FULLY SURE TO GO THROUGH WITH IT!

I will explain in my story as I retype it all out & finally finish it instead of just the two chapters spread out what she endured during the so called “sickness”.

A bit of spoilers!

She… she isn’t really human. If you could not tell before about her power. Let’s just say she is more of a proxy absolutely, but is undead. Sort of like a zombie but less rotting flesh, etc. more of a zombie but still fully intact brain function & organs. I will explain in my story of how she became of that.

Notes about why I am posting this!

So I wanted to not per se “recreate” her but wanted to make her story & design more… original? I guess? I felt like her design for her “form” is definitely like Zalgos or Lazari’s which by the way IS NOT THE CASE! I was heavily inspired by a dream I once had with red & black images flashing & it was hella scary. Also the inspiration for this was I have such weird ass dreams & I am very spiritually connected to beings that no one can see from the naked eye, I also happen to love creepypasta & slenderverse stuff so win win! I want to also mention that, I’ve made fan art of her & Tim/Masky yes (the posted ones) in my story I won’t make it a “canon” thing because Tim/Masky isn’t MINE to own & do that to, but I may have her have a bit of a crush on him & have a few interactions with one another because why not? They have similar personalities sort of & similar trauma’s a bit so win win as well but also… daddy issues YAYYYYY (not). But if anyone would like to make fan art of him & her I would absolutely love to see it! (I know this won’t be too popular but it’s greatly appreciated to see fan art with the other Proxies or Marble Hornets characters or even your own CRP Ocs!!!)

I want to also add her personality!

Her personality is… anxiety ridden. She’s absolutely jumpy & paranoid half of the time, but once she finally settles down in the mansion, she’s a bit calmer but still slightly kept to herself, she’s also a bit mischievous as well. She barely sleeps & if she does, it’s for a short time. If she is weak she may sleep longer. She’s also alternative! She’s scene emo, hint to her hair. But she also likes the grunge clothing as well, obviously the music too, she enjoys PTV, SWS, MCR, Digital Daggers, aesthetically pleasing music (like the silent hill soundtracks, along with Alex g, Tv Girl, Julie, Wisp, etc!), along with this is of course some scene music like some Brokencyde, 30H!3, Millionares, some underground scene bands, now in for some more metal such as Korn, Evanescence, SOAD, Deftones, some Staind, Three Days Grace, Get Scared (of course). Also likes some gothic music such as some HIM, some Lebanon Hanover, & a bit of twin tribes! Other honorable mentions of music is The Front Bottoms, Current Joys, Cigarettes After Sex, some Nirvana, Blink-182, & Lana Del Rey. Some of the calm music help her calm herself down.

She also likes to draw & take notes on everyone in the mansion. She will draw them out & make notes on their personality, the way they talk, quite literally everything. (Will be explained more in story of why.) When she is around people she is comfortable with you would think she’s an absolute stoner (aka she sort of is). Now when she is out on missions, absolutely secluded to herself, absolutely INSANE due to lack of sleep, aggressive as fuck, quite literally the one to tell the victim what she will do to them kind of thing, does not hesitate towards anyone, maybe only children though & animals of course she isn’t fully insane. Duh of course she slightly knows how to play guitar & can sing a good ass mean rock/metal songs even ones sang by men! Absolutely loves guitar hero too. (I can see her, Jeff, & probably Ben playing that all the time for shitz & giggles). She also dresses scene close to Nina almost, but mostly Jean shorts with ripped tights or skinny ripped jeans along with a band tee or anything 2000s, along with some scene arm warmers sometimes or even ripped arm things like tights but for her arms along with thick bracelets or Candi (I totally see Nina & her making some for one another even having sally join in!) now her outfit to go on missions is in fact grunge looking but it keeps her hidden, able to carry more stuff in her pockets, & the outfit she wandered out & found Slenderman/The Operator (not sure which yet). Her grunge look is mostly casual wear but she mostly does wear Scene looks more, even if they are very simple. Absolutely her hair is dyed bright red & black obviously but she is a natural red head (like myself that’s why she’s more of a sona than oc but I call her both!) & yes she has a eyebrow piercing!

THIS IS HEAVILY BASED ON THE SLENDER MANSION BUT ALSO IN THE SLENDERVERSE IT IS MY OWN TAKE OF THOSE!!!

I think that’s all I have for now! Fill free to ask questions or like I previously said, draw anything with her with your own creepypasta oc or some of the characters themselves! 🫶🫶🫶

: ̗̀➛ Knight!Toby x Queen!Reader

˗ˏˋword count: 3,308 ´ˎ˗

Summary: Wanting to escape to the city of Camelot, The Queen decides to have one of Arthur’s fine Knights accompany her. A public introduction that would server them well. With Sir Toby being volunteered, perhaps she can get to know him better?

Warning(s): 18+ content, mentions of infidelity, thoughts of infidelity, struggles with mental health, more plot, devious Toby

Beads of sweat dripped down Gareth’s forehead to his cheeks, wood banging together as he fended off Tobias’s attacks. Both men were tired but only one was able to push himself further. Tristan leaned towards Bors as they watched, eyebrows furrowed. “I don’t think Gareth will be able to stand tomorrow”  He snickered, nudging Bors's arm. Bors scoffed, a slight chuckle in his voice. “No kidding, Tobias has given a proper beating instead of a spar.”  He sighed, flinching as Toby laid another good hit on Gareth. Gawain watched intently behind the two older men, as the youngest he absorbed everything he could. Gareth hit the ground with a hard thud, groaning as he simply relaxed into his armor. “Need help?”  Toby panted, reaching a hand down to help him up. Gareth nodded a thank you before stalking off to rest. “Gods I can feel it in my toes.”  The men let out collective chuckles, Kay and Tristian teased the poor man, poking at the sights of bruising. The sound of the courtyard door opening, two guards stepping out. “Her Grace.”  The men bowed, making room for her Highness.

      

  The men scattered to quickly clean their faces, Lamorak helping Tobias to secure his helm. The men stood proud, awkwardness was present in Gareth’s posture trying to act like nothing was amiss. Standing in front of the men your eyes looked them over, noting Gareth and their hair clinging to their heads you finally spoke. “I do hope I'm not.. Intruding.”  Gareth cringed, standing straighter as he shook his head. “ ‘Course not, Your Grace. We’re honored with your presence.”  Smiling you nodded, perhaps now was not the best moment for the suggestion you had in mind. All of them looked tired and dirty. “I had perhaps hoped for one of you to accompany me into town. Arthur had suggested the idea but perhaps now is not the time.”  You mused, playful smile on your lips. The men perked up, accompanying the Queen? That was a great honor, not to mention being able to look upon her. Some of the men protested, it would be no trouble at all, but she merely looked at them in question. No, none of them were quite in the right shape, especially if something should happen. He shifted on his feet before standing forward, voice calm and lacking any shake. 

   

       “I can, My Highness.”  Toby bowed, obedient as always. How could he miss the chance to accompany her?  Her eyes scanned him, he didn’t seem nearly as tired or achy as the others. Absent-mindedly she nodded, stepping forward. “Are you sure, Sir Toby?”  She questioned, she truly didn’t want Arthur’s knights to be exhausted beyond measure. Hastily he agreed, Gawain backed him up, stating Toby was the best candidate. She raised a brow but didn’t question them further, she instructed Morgan to discuss the details with Tobias while Elaine and her walked back to her chambers. “Something on your mind, My Lady?”  Elaine questioned slyly, watching as The Queen fiddled with her fingers. She would never admit that Sir Toby made her quite nervous. He was silent most of the time simply watching her, face hidden behind his helm. She wouldn’t admit that it intrigued her, she could just command him to show his face. However, that would be.. An abuse of her powers. If Arthur has pardoned him then she must respect it.

         

“Something light please Morgan, I don’t want to cook out there.”  She scoffed a laugh, watching Elaine and Morgan argue what she should wear. Elaine snapped her fingers before reaching to pull out a black box. Morgan raised a brow, carefully lifting up the lid to see. “Elaine absolutely not.”  Vehemently shaking her head trying to take it. “Oh come on, His Majesty should remember what he’s missing out on.”  She snickered, trying to convince her. The Queen merely stalked towards them. “What is it?”  Reaching for the box she opened its lid. Ah, she remembered this dress. An old dress she inherited from her mother— it was eye catching to say the least. It was tight-wear, her mother would say it flattered her perfectly but she would disagree. It was much too easy seeing her stomach, she didn’t even know if she had a good shawl and corset to make the dress decent in public, she wasn’t a color matcher. That was all Elaine. “Come on, it’s light and flattering. Plus, Arthur loved seeing you in this. I’m sure Sir Tobias wouldn’t mind too much.”  She teased, trying to turn Her Highness to the dark side.

    

    Morgan raised her arms incredulously, eyes wide. “You’re trying to set her up with His Majesty’s knight?”  She accused, voice shrill, while she jabbed a finger at Elaine. “Oh please, His Majesty can fuck mere whores but our Lady can’t be with a good honest man?”  She scoffed, laying the box on her bed before turning back to the closet. The Queen held her face in her hands, much too flush to face either of them. Elaine’s blunt words hurt but nothing untrue. She spoke nothing but the truth, why could Arthur have lovers but not her? The Knights were respectable men from noble families. Some even royal like Gawain. It wouldn’t necessarily be downgrading.. Not that Arthur is an upgrade himself. Plus how much could she get under his skin wearing such a dress while another man accompanied her.

       

 Morgan sighed once spotting that evil-cheshire smile on her Lady’s lips. Surrendering, she followed Elaine’s instructions as they dressed The Queen, ensuring she looked presentable but still very admirable. “You look lovely, Your Grace.”  Elaine giggled, placing the last pin in her hair, Morgan had scattered off to fetch Sir Toby to escort Her Majesty. The Queen chewed on her lip as she looked in the mirror, was this really a good idea? To use someone else? But still, she’d must admit she looked gorgeous, the thought of how Toby would react made her heart race.

     

  Toby shifted on his feet as he waited outside her quarters, nervous beyond usual he tried calming himself. He was trying desperately to ignore that greedy part of himself, part that he felt ashamed of. He turned briskly hearing the doors open just to feel his heart drop to his ass and back to his throat. To say The Queen looked gorgeous would be an understatement, she looked holy. Breaking from the small trace he hastily bowed before holding out a hand. “My Grace.”  That low, hoarse tone of his voice sent shivers down her spine. It felt good, good to take someone by surprise with beauty. While her subjects always praised her beauty, she over time became familiar with it wasn’t as wholly as once before. Especially not by Arthur. The first to always praise her beauty. Smiling graciously she walked around him, head high as her Ladies and The Knight trailed her sides and behind. “What do you think of the city, Sir Toby?”  Glancing just for a moment to her side where he trailed behind. Toby nodded his head, weighing out his promise for honesty and the correct appropriate time for his honesty. “The people are… Lively, Your Highness.”  He replied, jaw tightening when a particularly sharp jerk occurred. She raised a brow but didn’t question him.

     

 Just before I could reach for the wagon, Arthur called out behind me. His eyes trailing over me with that faint glimmer of recognition. Eat that you lowly pig. Reaching me, he reached for my hands gently holding them surprisingly respecting my request for the least amount of touching possible. “Are you sure you don’t want me coming?”  He smiled, doting and loving but I was all too aware of that hopeful spark. Returning his smile, coyly and sly, I shook my head stepping back closer to the carriage. His smile faltered and a flicker of joy seeped into my bones. “I will return before My King needs me.”  The sickeningly sweet smile on my lips along with cherished words made me want to vomit. Finally able to relax in the cushion of the carriage, lazily my eyes watched the passing scenery and the walls.. Like a cage. Unconsciously, my eyes drift to Sir Toby. He looked every bit of The Knight he promised to be, strong and resilient. Hastily turning my gaze, noticing his head shift to me. Least he thinks that I need something or worse– His ego growing from my attention.

        

 The ride was beautiful still to say the least. One she enjoyed every time, a small taste of freedom. The carriage stopped in front of her favorite cafe, earlier alerted to The Queen’s arrival. Amara, the kind shop’s owner, waited in front of the door for her with a kind smile on her face. Toby held a hand out, thankful for the gloves hiding his sweaty palms. She smiled kindly, accepting and carefully stepping down she would hate to step on her dress in front of everyone. Carefully closing the door behind her, Tobias walked beside her as they walked into the shop. He couldn’t help looking at that relaxed smile and not the tense practiced one she used with Arthur. He could practically smell their tension, curious as to what he could’ve done. He knew better however to not question royals about their affairs. Taking her in he couldn’t help it as his eyes drifted to her top. Gods she was beautiful – and he was a pervert.

      

  Sitting down she thanked Amara before walking off to prepare her order. While it might not be made from the fine chefs of the castle, Amara’s food was comforting to say the least. A great comfort she found herself needing more and more. The life of a royal is practically lonely, not able to trust much or be trusted much. Nothing more than a game within a game. Sitting straight with her manners she was thankful that Elaine chose a more comfortable corset. “Would you like a seat, Sir Toby?”  He shook his head, bowing with his arms behind his back. “I’m fine, My Queen.”  His voice was soft, not that same boisterous tone that Arthur had. He was so.. Gentle in the way he handled things – handled her. She knew his kindness and fine manners shouldn’t impress her, he was trained like this. It was his job, nothing more. Carefully Amara and a few other of her employees brought out food and drinks. Placing them down Amara asked if anything else was needed before heading off into the back to allow them privacy.

      

 “Tell me Sir Toby, how did you and Arthur meet?”  She blew softly on the hot tea before her. He moved to clasp his hands in front of him, moving just a bit closer so she’d be able to understand him under his helm. “My mother brought me to court and presented me in front of him.”  He chuckled, remembering fondly of his first met with him. “I was so nervous I couldn’t stop twitching, constantly cracking my knuckles.”  He sighed, cringing just how much of a fool he made himself, though Arthur would argue otherwise. Always did, always reminded him how special he was. Only thing he truly liked about Arthur, his compliments. Always giving so freely, as if he was made to do it. Of course, Tobias knew when men wore masks, he just couldn’t figure out Arthur’s.

“Who’s your mother?” Brow piqued as she turned slightly to look at him. “You might know her as the Lady of the Lake.” Briefly Elaine paused before continuing to eat, Queen relaxed into her seat. “The sorceress?” Tobias nodded, shifting and trying to distract himself. “She took in me and my brothers. Bors and Lionel.” Thinking back she did notice they both looked the same, but she never saw Tobias to make the connection. “What happened to your birth family?” Tobias shrugged, straightening his back. “I never knew, never cared too either.” Queen hummed, the rest of the evening spent in silence with small talk sprinkled here and there.

Tobias walked silently behind you, Morgan and Elaine having gone to complete errands on your behalf. Inviting him in, you sat on the couch before beckoning him closer. “Thank you, Sir Toby. I greatly appreciate your protection and the chance of knowing you.” He bowed deeply, taking a moment you also appreciated how elegant his armor looked. “Of course. The honor is wholly mine own.” He raised, standing straighter trying to fight the slouch in his back. “Might I ask, since we are alone — why do you hide?” Lounging back, you watched him fidget just for a few seconds before having mercy on him. Smiling coyly as you remind him he doesn’t have to answer. He does, but you had basic human decency.

“I.. I am not privileged with beauty, My Queen.” He turns his head, looking briefly ashamed. Furrowing your brows, you stood walking towards him. “You need not to be ashamed of looks, you are accomplished. You are something to be proud of.” Speaking softly, stopping a tad closer than you probably should but wishing to convey comfort. “Just remember you are safe in these walls, do not feel like you must hide forever.” He almost choked when your hand reached for his. The gauntlets making your hands seem even smaller, ever fragile as you smiled at him. He knew beauties, his mother was beyond beauty herself. But you? Gods, you spoke to him. He flinched when his fingers cracked around your hands, hastily stepping back as he bowed.

“Apologies, your kindness. It— it means everything to me, My Queen.” Your heart swelled, he was simply too cute. Always so well mannered and.. devoted. “You may rest, Sir Toby.” Excusing him, you watched him leave before slumping on your bed. Comforting him felt nice, but now you felt nothing but nerves. Had you overstepped? Would he tattle to Arthur. Your mind was a small mess in and out of the day, Elaine was more than delighted to hear of the private chat, most certain he liked you.

If only you knew half the truth, him silently standing right under your balcony everyday. Looking at the great tree you have such a perfect view of. He could only dream of standing up there with you, so far above from where he stood. Able to hear your singing, your thoughts—what troubles you. He sat quietly on the cold stone, finally removing his helm for fresh air. Being especially mindful of the gnash on his cheek, he’d cut the already-open wound enough. Head laid against the cold cobblestone he could faintly hear you and the ladies chatting. His lip twitched as they started asking about him, you sounded so flustered.

Just before he closed his eyes, quick rest to sound of you, he spotted Bors marching towards him. Cursing silently he quickly motioned for him to quiet himself. Bors quirked a brow but walked carefully. “What are you doing?” He whispered, he was supposed to come to the table after returning with The Queen. “Just having a quick rest, needed to calm myself.” It wasn’t all a lie, His Queen had made his heart spike just a little. He could feel the adrenaline rushing in his body.. especially a certain area. Bors grunted, waving him off. His motions stopped before he could say anything when he heard you. His eyes narrowed at Tobias, grabbing him by his neck and yanking him up. “Why are you here?” He growled, staring him down. Toby raised his hands in a mock surrender, a crooked grin on his lips.

“Just resting here by chance.” He snickered, Bors dragging him off he threw one quick glance to your balcony. Strolling into the room, Kay and Gawain were the only ones with The King. A large map flung over the table with Gawain trying to prove his worth in battle plans. “You might actually be a Knight yet.” Kay teased, bumping his own hip with the prodigy. “Ah! Toby, how was the trip.” Arthur wrapped an arm around his shoulders. The contact making him stiffen at first but quickly he leaned into his touch. “Just fine, Your Majesty. No threats to The Queen.” Arthur nodded, slouching in his seat resting his head in his hands. “Everything alright, Sire?” Toby questioned, sitting on his own chair. “Nothing just.. I should go see her. I’ve been busy! Neglecting her, can’t have that.” He chuckled nervously. Bidding fair due and quickly making his way to you.

You glance to the door hearing a soft knock, assuming it’s either of your ladies. Gently you placed your brush down before calling out. “Who is it?” Arthur peeked his head in, a nervous smile when he saw you. Quickly your face fell, standing and moving to your couch. “What.. Sire.” Arthur flinched at your voice, the snap almost whipping him. “Just wished to see my wife is all.” You covered your mouth when an ugly snort escaped you. Arthur’s eyes trailed down her figure, stalking towards her. You narrowed your eyes, crossing arms over your chest— it felt good to see him still react like this. So much want in his eyes, if only he hadn’t messed everything up.

His hands reached to your waist, slowly and so cautiously pulling you towards him. You didn’t pull away, but he could feel the stiff taunt in your muscles. Gently bumping his head against yours and taking the time to sneakily wrap his other arm around you. “You look beautiful, my dear.” He muttered, breathlessly taking you all in. It had been so long since he’d been able to hold you, smell you. Anything truly. Mumbling a quiet ‘thank you’ before trying to turn away from him. He merely pulled you closer, taking a deep whiff of your hair and savoring it. “Please, let me stay. Not for anything other than your presence.” You almost swore you saw water lining his eyes. That damn puppy-face that once could convince you of anything. Anything at all as he made excuse after excuse. Lie after lie.

You felt that familiar quiver in your heart. Why? Why had he been so damn stupid? Why had he been a man? And not yours? You could see it so clearly, that love— trapped in his soul. Chained by his stupidity. Pressing your lips to a thin line before he could see them quake. Missing this— his smell, his touch. But there was hate now. Hate for how much you missed it. Hate for the fact you had to miss it. Hate for everything about him but not for him. Why couldn’t you hate him? The cold detachment and grudges tore your heart apart. Never able to quite make peace. Never able to understand why. A small flinch as his nose brushed against yours, feeling his hairs tickle your face. You remembered everything too well. His love, his joy, his care.. and the disregard of his loyalty. His vows.

The perfect King, the perfect man but how could he not be the perfect husband? How. Was it you? Those thoughts made your heart hurt— as if someone grabbed it and squeezed with all their might. No, it wasn’t you. He did it. He made the decision. You were a perfect wife, perfect woman and perfect Queen. You fulfilled your rolls, your vows. Turning away, prying his hands off you. His heart dropped, so close and so far. He wanted to scream at you how sorry he was. How he wanted you to just.. do anything. Anything but leave. He missed having you in his bed, his room— hell even his bathroom! Not your sex, but you. “Goodnight, Arthur.” Anything but how you said his name like a sin.

: ̗̀➛ Had to lock in for the last part. I think Chapter three I’m going to really start building on Queen and Toby’s relationship!! I hope you all enjoyed it and I’m sorry it took me so long. Just been struggling. Love you all!
