hiii so ive had this idea for a while now but i just dont have the skills to write it myself, its not really a reader x character but more of a maybe actor!reader x the actor of the character if u get me??😭😭
so the idea is actor!reader plays a character that is also played as the love interest/partner of hwang inho (lee byung hun's character) and during their scenes together (like an intimate scene between their characters) reader just keeps messing up her lines or having trouble staying in character because she keeps getting flustered/shy by lee byung hun causing them to redo the scene over and over again so him and the whole cast just keeps laughing and teasing her about it😣😣🙏🙏🙏
A/n: So I will be going in order of the requests I get in my ask box then I will start on some suggestions I have in the comments. Once again, I do Actor x reader actor! So here is one of those ideas and I love it. I was going to do a tag list but I don’t know why it won't let me tag people!
Trigger warnings: Talks of smut, Partial Smut (lol?)
Squid Game Masterlist
Lee Byung-hun x reader
Quiet On Set
Tumblr media
(Y/n) knew this scene would be the hardest to film. Sure as a professional actor, she filmed multiple movies that had intimate scenes. However, (Y/n) never had a romantic interest in the other actors. There was an instant spark when she met Lee Byung-hun. His character happens to have a complex background and in this season goes undercover to destroy Gi-hun, Lee Jung-jae, in an attempt to show him no matter what, people are greedy. Thats when (Y/n) character is introduced. (C/n) is written to be the complete opposite of The Frontman, In-ho. She is kind, patient, understanding, caring, and meant to show the good in humanity even though she has been dealt only hardships in life. Throughout the season their love builds up, soft touches, knowing glances, and quick kisses in secret. All the while (Y/n) had been falling helplessly in love with Lee Byung-hun. Of course, the fans did not let this go unnoticed during their recent interviews. Social media had blown up with edits and multiple bloggers posting about the chemistry they shared. (Y/n) would not admit her guilty pleasure is watching those edits and making comments herself which and fans foaming at the mouths. Lee Byung-hun even found it humorous that people not only shipped their character but them as well. When any with him and (Y/n) not on set but together was posted the fans always blew the comment section up within minutes. 
“Alright places everyone!” Hwang Dong-hyuk called as the crew rushed to make sure everything was set up in the correct frames. “(Y/n), Byung-hun are you all ready?” He asked kindly always wanting to double-check checking the actors were comfortable in scenes where they would be partially on display. (Y/n) nods even though slightly hesitant she walked onto the set and stood by the bathroom wall where the scene was going to be shot.
Byung-hun walked behind her with a smile, “Don’t be nervous (Y/n) this scene will be over before you know it.” It earned a shy smile from the actress leaning against the wall. 
“I am not that nervous… It’s a while since I have done scenes like this. Alright, I think we are ready.” She told the director and Byung-hun nodded in agreement. 
“Quiet on set, Take one, action!” He yelled and silence filled the room. (Y/n) could swear her heartbeat could probably be heard by how badly it was beating against her chest. 
Byung-hun fell into character without hesitation moving to press (Y/n) the cold tile. She breathes heavily cheeks flushed looking into his eyes. “In-ho we can’t” She whispered as he began aggressively kissing up her neck pressing their bodies together. (Y/n) let out a whimper from the pleasure she felt. 
“But you (C/n)” His voice went low showing his absolute dominance. (Y/n) wasn’t used to this side of the sweet Byung-hun. As scripted their jumpsuits were quickly discarded. The heavy breathing filled the room as the two actors stood almost nude in front of each other. His leg slipped between (Y/n). 
She arched up and moaned softly feeling him rub his knee against her covered core. “Byung-hun!” (Y/n) gasped causing him to instantly freeze. “Fuck I’m sorry.” She said as the director yelled cut. 
“Let's roll again.” As the scene had to be started over (Y/n) continued to be a flustered mess messing up the lines or using Byung-hun’s name instead of Young-Il.
“You are a mess.” He chuckled as the team thought it was hilarious she could not for the life of her finish the scene. Byung-hun smirked and leaned down whispering in a low sexual voice. “Do it in one shot this time and I’ll let you cry my name tonight.”
(Y/n)’s eyes widen looking into her costars eyes with a grin. Let's just say she didn’t mess up again.

Seriously chaotic fashion misadventures
I realized I posted a teaser and never really followed up on it, so here is some more of that
“Hey, Dami?”
Boy hadn’t looked up from the kittens he was bottle feeding but let out a hum indicating he listened.
“I'm thinking about trying out a more girlish style. Do you think it would suit me?”
Well, Damian had no idea but if Dani wished to give it a chance, then, well, the only proper reaction was to offer his aid.
*-*-*
“Father, I require access to your rouge gallery.”
Bruce almost choked on his breakfast when his youngest made this announcement.
Rouge gallery, as his children playfully called it, was vast collection of lipsticks, which he collected to uphold his Brucie persona. Famous playboy with head constantly in the clouds couldn’t not show up with discreet signs of scandal from time to time. And it couldn’t always be the same shade. Or scent when he choose more subtle approach and used one of his more feminine perfumes.
In all honesty, he enjoyed this.
But that’s not the point, point was that Damian wanted to use it and Bruce needed to know what disaster would fall upon him if he agreed.
“Mind telling me why, chum?”
Dick, who visited Manor for a weekend, barely stifled his laughter while Tim stared at his empty coffee mug like it personally betrayed him. Cass just wore her usual knowing and mischievous smile.
Damian shifted in his chair, hands clenching on butter knife. He was nervous and suddenly Bruce dreaded the answer he was about to hear.
“I don’t see how me sharing this information would change anything. It won’t be used to cause harm to anyone but it’s necessary in the extracurricular project I just started.”
“Dami, what project?” Dick asked, voice oozing with genuine curiosity and excitement. He was almost bouncing.
“I don’t want to disclose it.”
“Is this a hero or civilian type of deal?”
Damian didn’t look any of them in the eyes, both hands clenching on his seat as he kept shifting. Bruce narrowed his eyes. Was his youngest… flustered?
“Civilian”
“Alright, great” Dick swung back with single clap, almost tripping his chair over “I think B won’t have anything against you using his rouge gallery, will he?” Man knew his oldest son well enough to recognize his ‘don’t you dare to disagree’ tone. He was confused but there wasn’t any harm so he nodded with affirmative hum.
“Thank you, Father”
Boy practically inhaled rest of his food and rushed outside. Despite all his training and all his efforts, they clearly saw his excitement. Tim pinched himself and returned to staring at his mug.
“Cass, have you seen what I’ve seen or am I overreacting?” Dick asked, barely restraining his enthusiasm. Girl nodded eagerly, shoving more crumbs into her mouth. Young man cheered, throwing his hands up.
“What have I missed?” Tim mumbled, frowning a little.
“BABY BAT HAS A CRUSH!”
Cass nodded again with wide smile.
Oh.
Oh no.
Who were they? What did he know about them? Was Protocol 3r0s started? Did someone run a background check already? What could they do if they somehow hurt Damian? Was this person a risk to their identities? Oh gods, oh no.
He probably will have to do The Talk™.
He always dreaded having The Talk, with any of his kids. He felt The Talk with Damian would be even worse. Understandably so.
“Also sleep in at least three da-”
“Fuck off, dick.”
“Was this insult or-”
His children remained obvious to how much work it meant, cheering and sassing each other like they often did.
*-*-*
Damian did not know how it was possible but he lowered his guard enough to get caught.
"What are you doing?" Brown choked out after they stared at each other for a long moment.
"It does not concern you–"
"You're rummaging through my wardrobe, not many things concern me more and also, that's frickin creepy don't do it to anyone outside of the family"
She did have a point however he was not convinced it would be the correct approach if he shared his plan. Father's wards (even unofficial like Brown) tended to make assumptions and overreact based on these conjectures. Dani wasn't easy to scare off but he didn't want to check if his family would manage. They often did things thought to be impossible.
He tried to get away but the blonde stood fiercely in a door, leaving the window as the only way out. He wasn't this desperate. Yet.
Girl looked more and more angry at his silence. He had to give her some answers.
Now that he actually considered it, she could be a useful asset. She was far better versed in women's fashion and if he phrased it correctly, he wouldn't even need to bribe her. Question was, how should he phrase it?
"I have an acquaintance- I have a friend," he corrected himself "from the animal shelter I volunteer at. She mentioned wanting to try out more 'girlish style' and asked for my opinion. I wanted to see if you had any clothes that would fit her. She is smaller than me so I thought that whatever I take, it wouldn't be missed." 
Brown grinned with an unsettling gleam in her eyes. He suddenly regretted opening his mouth if not coming to this room in the first place. 
"Say no more, I have a plan Demon Child"

Capitano scenario
This scenario came out of me while I was crying over people only really writing angst fics since the 5.3 archon quest. So please I BEG NO MORE ANGST CAPITANO FICS I CAN’T KEEP RELIVING THE TRAUMA
Anyways it’s a royalty au, fem reader. Idk if I should make this a fic so you guys can decide. Idk when it’d be out if you guys wanted it, I go back to school on Monday
Tumblr media
* Capitano is a young promising prince that is very skilled in combat
* When he’s was younger after his training sessions he would ride his horse around the forest behind his castle until he would have to go back for dinner
* That is how Capitano met you
* You were sitting next to the river throwing rocks trying to reach the other side
* He observed you for awhile watching you throw a couple rocks across the shallow river then bunch up your dress trying to find the rocks you just threw
* He came to the conclusion you weren’t very good at rock skipping but it looked like you were having fun
* Capitano got off his horse and made his way over to you, he clears his throat to get your attention
* You jump at the sudden noise and turn to face him, once you release who he is you instantly bow and apologize
* He is quick to tell you “no need to be so formal. I am the one disturbing you”
* You instantly say he’s not disturbing you and ask what he’s doing so far from the castle
* He tells you he always rides his horse after training until he has to be back for dinner, he then asks what you are doing out here
* You explain to him that you wanted a break from your village so you came out to the river to rock skip and be out in nature
* He asks why you want to be away from your village
* You tell him it’s because all they do is pity you because your mom cheated on your dad and she left the village leaving your dad heartbroken, then he became a neglectful drunk and eventually died to alcohol poisoning
* You emphasize you’re grateful for the village helping you especially since you were still young and barely double digits but sometimes it’s too much and stresses you out
* Capitano just nods and asks if he can skip rocks with you
* You had him a rock from your collection while smiling saying “of course”
* He skips the rock across his he river first try barely putting effort into it and you stand there shocked
* You immediately turn to him and ask him to teach you
* He tells you the stance to take and how to flick your wrist but you’re still not doing it right so he comes to correct your stance and helps you throw a couple rocks across the lake
* You turn and beam a big smile at him thanking him profusely
* Capitano decides there he needs to be around you more because your smile makes him smile
* You notice the sun is going down which means you have to get back to he village
* Capitano offers you a ride on his horse, your hesitant at first insisting you’re fine because he should get back to the castle
* He shakes his head saying it won’t take long, so he grabs your hand and walks you to where his horse is and helps you get on
* You guide him to your village but he stops on the outskirts so he won’t be seen
* Capitano helps you off the horse and he can tell you want to ask something, he then tells you to ask whatever you want
* You then say “My Prince, will you go back to the river again?”
* He looks at you and gives you a small smile, “Yeah, I’ll be back. I normally end training around midday so I can be back there at the same time we were there today.”
* You get excited and tell him you’ll meet him tomorrow
* He hops back on his horse and turns to you and asks for your name, and you say your name
* Capitano starts to lead his horse away but not without saying “see you tomorrow” while saying your name at the end
* That starts yours and Capitano’s routine, you two go to the river nearly every day for years
* You always tell each other in advanced when you cannot meet so they other one isn’t waiting alone
* As you two get older the meetings start becoming later in the day due to him with his prince duties and your job caring for the animals in your village
* Stargazing becomes the next thing you guys always do, laying on a blanket while looking up at the stars talking about your days
* As you’ve grown up you’ve fallen more and more for the young prince but you know it can never happen due to the differences in your social standings
* Little did you know Capitano is in the same boat as you and is trying to figure out how to convince his father to let him marry you
* You two ironically also had your first kiss under the stars
* It was your 18th birthday so the village threw you a party and one of the older grandmas in your village made you a silk dress
* It was nothing like the ones princesses wore but you didn’t care it was beautiful and you love the thought and effort behind it
* You ended up wearing it to the meeting you planned with Capitano
* You got there first like you always do waiting for him while sitting on a big rock that was in the open field a little further up the river
* You hear his horse come up right to the rock and hear him dismount
* You go to stand up and greet him but he freezes in spot
* You ask him if he’s okay and he immediately nods and tells you, “you look incredibly beautiful. You and that dress is stunning.”
* You blush furiously and thank him
* Capitano then goes to a little pouch that his horse had one and pull out a jewelry box handing it to you saying “happy birthday”
* You go to open it and realize what it is
* It’s a silver heart locket necklace that opens up and has the date you two met engraved on one side and a picture you two took at one of your meet ups
* You start tearing up and pick your head up to look at him
* “Capitano, I have no idea what to say. Thank you so much, this is the best gift ever”
* He smiles and says “I remember you talking about how you’ve always wanted one but your village never had one so the next day I went to the jeweler and asked them to make it. It’s been sitting in my room since the conversation.”
* You realize you’ve fallen in love again with him, you don’t hesitate to throw yourself at him and give him a tight hug
* He returns it quickly holding you tight to him
* You two then carry on with the night talking about the party you had at the village and then out of nowhere he’s silent
* You ask him if he’s okay and he says “I wish I could have been there to celebrate you. By the way have you ever thought about marriage?”
* The King has been pushing Capitano to marry young and marry one of the stuck up princesses he has picked out
* Capitano doesn’t want to marry someone out of convenience, he wants to marry someone he loves and that person is you
* You think how that’s such a change in conversation but decide to roll with it and respond, “Yeah I have.”
* He asks you to describe it
* You take a deep breath and look away not ready to see the rejection on his face once you confess
* “In all honestly it’s always been you Capitano. I’ve been in love with you since we were kids and it’s only grown more as we have gotten older. I’ve always imagined wearing a big white gown and walking down the aisle to you. But I know it’s not possible due to our social class difference.”
* It’s silent after you finish talking and you start to cry, once Capitano realizes he lightly grabs your face to have you look at him
* He wipes the tears and says “It’s not impossible. I have been in love with you since the day we have met as well. I asked that because my father is pushing me to marry a princess but all I want to do is marry you.”
* Capitano stands up and reaches for your hand and helps you stand up, “Have you danced before?”
* You shook your head and he just lightly says “follow my lead”
* He leads you in a dance around the field, he’ll spin you and lead you in different dances but once you two are almost done he dips you holding onto you tight
* You tighten your hold around his neck making your faces so close to each other
* One he brings you back up he asks “can I kiss you?”
* You nod and he leans down to kiss you, it was like sparks were going off around you
* It was soft and slow kiss that had so much love behind it
* It wasn’t long but once you two separated Capitano places his forehead on yours and makes you a promise, “I will marry you. I will make it happen, I promise.”
* From that meeting on you two become official and share secret kisses and cuddles
* As you guys near your twenties the King only pushes Capitano harder to marry a princess
* One day Capitano just snaps and tells his father he will not marry the princesses because he already picked someone else out himself
* The King looks shocked and asks him who it is
* Capitano goes on to describe you with the most loving tone but is cut off quickly one the King realizes you’re a peasant
* He is quick to turn that idea down and forbidding Capitano to see you again
* Capitano says “no, that i will do what I want and will marry her. I decide who I marry and I am stronger than you so if you choose to duel so be it father. But know I will win.” and quickly turns to walk out of the throne room to his horse to go to you
* but before he leaves his father calls out to him, “a duel it will be then son.”
* Capitano just nods and leaves
* Capitano is furious the entire ride thinking about all the awful things his father said about you
* He is early to the meeting spot and once he hears you walking to him he turns around and makes a beeline to you
* You try to call out to him seeing he looks upset and frustrated but he’s not responding just walking straight towards you
* Once his close enough he pulls you into a bruising hug
* You ask him what’s wrong and he takes a deep sigh and holds you tighter
* “My father is forcing me to marry and he didn’t like how I brought you up on how I want to marry you.”
* He feels you stiffen in arms and continues, “we are going to duel over it. Don’t worry my love, I will win and as soon as that is happening I will propose to you.”
* “Capitano are you sure you want to do this? I don’t want you to get hurt or backlash from marrying someone like me.”
* “I am very confident in my choice. I hate the stupid ideals royalty have and should live by, I am going to change that once I am king.”
* All you can do is accept this because you know nothing will change his mind
* Then comes the day of the duel
* Many spectators have come to watch hearing what the duel is about
* Capitano actually brought you to the stadium to watch, he claimed too that it’s easier to propose quicker if you’re there
* Once the duel begins it’s quick to everyone that Capitano is stronger than his father and holds the fate of the battle in his hands
* You never realized how skilled of a fighter Capitano is, he is very strong landing powerful blows while also being very fast and flexible
* The duel doesn’t last long due to what Capitano had on the line
* He knocks his fathers sword out of his hand points the tip of the sword at his fathers neck
* The King is breathing heavily while Capitano barely broke a sweat
* “I win father.”
* The King lowers his head and replies with a small, “it seems so. Do whatever you want, once you realize it’s a mistake don’t come crying to me. You’re not going to be a good king and she’s going to be an even worse queen.”
* Capitano is quick to smash his fathers face into the ground while kneeling down to his fathers ear, “if you ever talk bad about my future wife and queen, I will not hesitate to kill you.”
* He lets go of his father and makes his way to you in the stadium
* The fans clear out of his way while Capitano makes his way to you
* He then gets to where you are sitting and you stand up to greet him
* Capitano pulls you into a strong hug but it doesn’t last long because he separates from you and pulls something out of his back pocket and kneels on the ground
* Capitano says your name then begins his speech, “I have been captivated by you since the day I saw you skipping rocks poorly against the lake. Every time we met I felt like I didn’t have to live up to high expectations and act like a princess. You have created such a loving, safe, caring, nurturing, fun and happy place where I could be me. The memories we have created will always hold a special place in my heart. But now I want to make more memories with you where I can publicly show our relationship and my love for you. So what do you say, will you do me the honor of marrying me and becoming my queen?”
* You were crying through the whole confession once he is done you shake your head letting out a watery “yes” while he puts the ring on
* Capitano then stands up and pulls you into a bruising kiss while everyone in the stadium is cheering
* The wedding wasn’t too long after, it did have to wait until he was crowned king but after the duel with his father the people of the kingdom wanted Capitano to become king
* Capitano and you planned the perfect wedding
* You both got your dreams of having you wear the white dress walking down the isle to become his wife
* You two shared another beautiful dance
* During the dance you smiled up at him and said “I love you my beautiful, strong, caring, and loving husband. You are perfect my king.”
* Capitano pushed some hair out of your face and says, I love you my beautiful, strong, caring, and loving wife. You will become an incredible queen. I can’t wait for our future my queen.”
* You two then share another of many loving kisses you two had your wedding night
* Then starts your journey as husband and wife as well as king and queen

Tumblr media
something malicious is brewing again and this time it's a mid, soft-core, badly written, extremely self-indulgent, silly, valveplug, VERY ooc obsessed!starscream x human!reader fic with plot because this pathetic little scrimblo scrunkly mipy insect [affectionate] drilled himself into my brain. i want him to suffer [affectionate] and then experience the best interface of his life. i am going fucking insane thinking about this miserable prick i want him to be happy so bad but while being disgustingly and unhealthully obsessive to the point where his mind fucking breaks and he starts being pathetic not for himself but for someone [affectionate]
so yea i really like yandere starscream tfp <3
Tumblr media
have a lil snippet:
[...]
He carelessly tosses the empty energon container aside and locks his optics on you, still scanning his wounds.
“I’ll get a towel,” you announce, turning toward the house.
Ha, you want to leave him? Now, when he needed you most? No, you had no right. You couldn’t hurt him like that.
“You’re not going anywhere.”
Before you even touch the doorknob, you feel long, slender claws on your forearm. They wrap around you and pull you back, accompanied by your muffled “eep,” until you land against his chassis, your shirt now smeared with energon.
“Really? Do you know how hard it is to get energon stains out?”
“You’ll manage,” he replies. His servo plays with your hair, and his wings tremble slightly, betraying the emotions he’s trying to suppress. “I’ve never noticed blue stains on that pathetic, soft armor of yours.”
“Clothes,” you correct.
“Unimportant.”
Holding you in his arms, he can pretend everything is fine. The open wounds don’t sting as fiercely as they did moments ago, his battered body can rest, and his processor feels calm. Everything feels right when you’re close, when he’s surrounded by the unimaginably pleasant softness, and your tiny hands stroke his chassis carefully, avoiding every wound and scratch. It’s comforting, and reassuring to have someone who brings solace only to him. To belong to someone just as he belongs to you. Almost cozy.
But soon, the cuddling stops being enough. It’s unsatisfying, incomplete. Always craving indulgence, he wants more, and he wants it now.
He leans in, beginning to greedily kiss your neck, while his servo slips under your shirt, sending a clear message that his desire is all-consuming.
“Starscream,” you chide, “there’s a puddle of energon under you.”
“Good thing I don’t care,” he says between kisses, with zero intention of stopping.
“And will you start caring when I say I won’t let you into bed in this state?”
“Stop ruining the mood,” he squawks. “I don’t need your berth to interface!”
“But I do,” you reply calmly, unfazed by his accusatory tone. To emphasize your point, you cross your arms over your chest, putting a barrier between you and him. Starscream loathes the gesture, hates the small yet significant distance it creates. He wants to erase it, destroy it because whether you realize it or not, you hurt him with your cruelty. You set a boundary he never wanted to see between you again.
“Star, you know I want what’s best for you, right?”
“And that’s why you want to leave me, huh? Fine, go ahead, leave and never come back if you don’t want to pay attention to me!” He lets go of you, and this time it's him crossing his arms over his chassis, but defensively, for comfort. Because suddenly, without you near, he feels an overwhelming, terrifying coldness. “You have the incredible opportunity to interface with me, and you’re turning me down because of a little energon stain? Foolish human, if only you understood what honor I bestow on you by allowing you to even touch me.”
“I’ll be gone for literally a minute,” you smile, cupping his battered faceplate in your hand. Starscream tries not to fall for the trap, to prove the seriousness of his words with his body, but after one nanoklik, he knows he’s lost. He leans into your hand, now stained with energon, savoring the scraps of attention you give him. His wings flutter happily, and his jet engines hum softly, imitating a purr, revealing his true feelings—the nonverbal ones, straight from his spark. “You’re a good mech. You’ll wait for me, won’t you?”
He stomps his pede and taps his claws against his arm, wrestling with his thoughts. One compliment, and he’s already ready to do anything you ask, desperate to earn another, as if possessed.
“You have exactly one klik. And you’d better hurry, because I’ll be counting.”
You disappear into the house, and he has to fight the urge to follow you, to accompany you everywhere in pursuit of the phenomenon of your touch and its incredible ability to drown him in pleasure. What a cruel joke, he thinks, as a few nanokliks pass and the pain returns. His wings droop, body begins to tremble, betraying the weakness and excruciating torment he carries inside. He doesn’t want to be left alone without stimulants, because he starts to think, to be afraid. He hugs himself tighter, feeling as if the cold has intensified, mocking him just like it did back on the Nemesis.

Prime and Protector (TF One Sentinel Prime) pt. 2
pairing - Sentinel Prime x F!Prime!Reader
summary - Sentinel's bond with you grows stronger
warnings - might turn this into a series, idk, bear with me and my love for this guy
a/n - i enjoyed writing the first part, so have some more of my thoughts on Sentinel's relationship with Prime!You before (italics) and after (normal) becoming sparkmates (i may have forgotten to add a few things to the first one) also i am so sorry for the wait!
Tumblr media
"Sentinel."
Sentinel lived for the sound of his name leaving your dermas. He was putty in your servos whenever you called him, always happy to do the most menial task for his pretty Prime.
"Yes, my lady?"
The advisor showed up at your door, eagerly awaiting your command, but you frowned when you saw how tired he was.
"Sentinel, have you had a break?"
"No, my lady. But I can-"
"Go, power down," you ordered, concerned about his health. "Please."
"(Name), Sentinel needs to-"
You glared at Zeta, "He. Needs. A. Break. I will fetch the reports."
Sentinel panicked at that idea, "No, no, I can handle it!"
"My sweet advisor, your pretty wings are drooping. Go power down."
He absolutely did not want to, because he would rather do something for you. He liked being useful to you, liked your praise - the 'pretty wings' comment had his fans working overtime to cool him down. But recharging? He couldn't be useful to you.
You smiled a little at his reluctance, "I'll have more for you to do once you're awake again."
He seemed content with that, and left to go recharge. You turned the other way to go and retrieve the scout's reports, but Zeta Prime's next words stopped you.
"You are too fond of Sentinel."
"And you're not fond enough," you answered, then went on your way.
~
"Sentinel."
Your sparkmate's wings fluttered up from their drooping position when you called him, his mood changing like the flip of a switch.
"Yes, sweetspark?"
You smiled at his new nickname for you, "Can I trouble you?"
"Of course, for you it's no trouble."
Even after becoming sparkmates, Sentinel retained his eagerness to please you. He was at your beck and call, still ready and willing to serve you in any way. If it made you happy, bonus points.
You smiled, "Come and look at the reports and tell me what you think."
He almost didn't believe those words, and gestured to himself, "Me?"
You laughed, "I didn't know there were two Sentinels."
Flustered, he approached you and took a look at the reports. He hadn't expected you to ask for his opinion, because even though that was technically his job the other Primes usually ignored it.
"I don't trust this one," he held up one of the recordings. "I've been there, it's not as overcrowded as this scout makes it out to be."
"Hmmm," you leaned forward. "Take care of it for me?"
"Of course, my lady."
"(Name)!" You called after him.
He chuckled, "Habit."
He returned a while later, looking weary, and you were immediately concerned.
"Sentinel-"
"No!" You snapped at your fellow Prime. "He needs rest." You turned to the advisor, "Did something go wrong?
"The scout did not send that message, my lady," he wiped some Quintesson blood off his shoulder. "I don't think we will be receiving any more communication from him."
"I should have gone myself," you led him to his berthroom.
"No, my la-(Name)," he quickly corrected when you gave him a look. "I was happy to be of service to you."
"I know, but I feel like I sent you into a trap..."
"It was," he admitted, "But I'm here, aren't I?" His wings buzzed a little, hoping for your praise. Hoping you were impressed with his ability to get out of a difficult situation.
"Indeed," you agreed. "But I do not like endangering you."
You were too worried about him to pay him a compliment! That wouldn't do. He brought you closer to him, reassuring you.
"My sword made quick work of them, sweetspark."
Your tension eased, "I suppose that is a comfort. You are very impressive with an equally impressive weapon."
He beamed, glowing under your praise.
"Now rest, Sentinel."
~
Another day out in the field, fighting the Quintessons. Their numbers seemed limitless, as more came every time you felled a few. You grew weary, separated from your Primes in different sections of the battlefield.
Your weariness disappeared when your optics picked out Sentinel in the fight, being overwhelmed.
You obliterated Quintessons in your path as you rushed to assist him. Around you, the other Primes were also weakening, but your focus was solely on your advisor.
"I don't think so."
You grabbed a Quintesson that had been about to attach itself to Sentinel's back, and you tossed it aside before shooting it.
"Thank you, my lady," Sentinel offered you a soft smile, which you returned.
You quickly intercepted another, your armour being scratched by their talon as you threw your arm in front of Sentinel's faceplates, shielding it.
"My lady!"
"Sentinel, it's just a..." You watched him completely demolish that Quintesson, chopping it into far more pieces than necessary. "...scratch."
When you returned to the tower, Sentinel was at your side with a buffer. He was exhausted, quite obviously, but he was eager to fix your "wound".
"Sentinel," you laughed. "It's nothing."
"You got that because of me," he pouted. "Let me fix it."
He was so cute, you couldn't deny him, "Okay."
The scratch in question was smoothed out within minutes, but far from making Sentinel feel silly about it, you smiled at him.
"Where would I be without my trusty caretaker, hmmm?"
His chassis puffed out with pride.
~
*My lady, what happened?!"
Sentinel's panicked voice flooded your audio receptors as two of the High Guard members carried you back into the tower, heavily wounded.
"I'm okay," you flinched. "It was just a bit rougher out there today."
Your sparkmate almost had a spark attack as he analysed your wounds. He called for the best medics, threatening them if they didn't drop what they were doing and come now. You looked so badly hurt, his wings drooped a little.
"Sentinel."
"Mhm?" He looked at you, turning his attention away from the medic.
"I'm okay."
"You are very obviously not, sweetspark," he offered you a small, weak smile despite his worry. "But you will be."
Sentinel had always been sweet toward you, but his sweetness ramped up to a thousand while you were on bedrest. He scurried around doing all your tasks, helping the other Primes AND tending to your every need and want.
"Will you slow down?" You laughed one day as he ran into your berthroom with some energon, almost toppling over.
"You need it!" He protested.
"Sentinel, I'm not going to die."
He huffed.
"Okay, I'm sorry," you chuckled, "Thank you."
He beamed, sitting on your berth and feeding you the cubes. He refused to let you eat on your own, simply because, again, he loved doing things for you.
When you were finally allowed to move around again, the blue-and-gold Cybertronian refused to let you get back to the fight. As your advisor, he couldn't exactly order you around, but as your sparkmate his concern was duly noted and followed.
"I am proud to say I killed over fifty Quintessons today, my lady," he swept into the room, looking pleased with himself. "In your honour, of course."
You smiled, "That's sweet, darling, but it's (Name) or sweetspark to you. But that's impressive, well done."
When you awarded him with a sweet kiss, Sentinel swore his legs wobbled. The praise and the kiss were too much for him, although in a very, very pleasant way.
He still offered to do some of your tasks, to take the load off you. You politely declined, noticing his increased tiredness.
"Sentinel, go recharge."
"But-"
"Recharge."
"Sweetspark~"
"Sentinel."
"...Fine."
He obeyed, but pouted the whole way to your shared berthroom. He was not happy, but hated disobeying you.
Sentinel had been obsessed with you before, but since becoming your sparkmate it had increased tenfold. You could literally say or do anything to this bot and he will take it with a smile on his face. He counts himself lucky that you're sweet to him, not sadistic or cruel like some of the other Primes could be.
"Sentinel."
"Yes?"
"Come here and let me admire your pretty wings."
His faceplates burned, but he obeyed and moved closer. They were sensitive to touch, so he shivered pleasantly when he felt your servos run along them tenderly.
"You are by far Primus's best creation."
He was at a loss for words. You, a Prime, a prestigious and elite creation of Primus, bestowed him with the ultimate compliment. Him, a bot who paled in comparison to your excellence, power, and looks.
"Sweetspark, I fear I am going to malfunction if you say that again."
You chuckled, noticing how flustered he got, "I mean it, you know."
"I disagree," he chuckled, "Primus definitely took a little more time designing you, you're the epitome of perfection my lady."
Your faceplates burned now, "Can't you just take a compliment?!"
He laughed, enjoying how his words impacted you just the way yours impacted him. He quite enjoyed knowing he had such power over you, even if it was just a little. He was content with just that little bit.
~
"Sentinel, are you drunk?"
Zeta's accusation sounded a lot like he had never been in the same predicament before, which annoyed you. Your advisor was stumbling around, a very cheerful smile on his faceplates. He looked like he had a little too much high grade, but that wasn't something to be punished for.
You'd seen Megatronus and Micronus in far worse states after consuming a little too much high grade.
"Leave him alone, Zeta," you rolled your eyes, catching your advisor before he fell faceplates-first on the floor. "There is reason to celebrate, we are close to winning this war."
Zeta opened his mouth to say something, before Sentinel giggled and teased your leader, "Yeah Zeta, lighten up."
Zeta froze, as did all the Primes in the vicinity, but you just laughed and put a hand on his chassis to steady him. He smiled drunkenly at your laugh, poking your faceplates.
"You're cute when you laugh~"
Your faceplates burned, and you led him away from the other astonished Primes. You took him to his berthroom, as he looked around in awe, like he had never been here before.
"This place is so pretty!"
It was very hard to keep a straight face whenever he spoke, and you allowed yourself to smile in amusement as you helped him lay on his berth.
He was knocked out immediately.
~
Sentinel could control himself around high grade. He had learned from past experiences that he was not to drink too much, even if you encouraged him to enjoy himself.
So he sat back and watched you Primes enjoy yourselves.
You noticed him sitting quietly, patiently, because you were - as usual - excluded from the festivities, even if not on purpose.
"You're oddly quiet," you noted, sitting down next to him.
"Someone has to be responsible here," he muttered bitterly, echoing Zeta's scolding from the last time. He looked tired; his optics were dull and his shoulders were hunched.
"You take such good care of us," you praised him, placing a servo on his shoulder. "You need to take care of yourself too."
"As if they would give me a break."
He wasn't always the cheerful advisor you saw. At times like this, the other Primes had worn him down so much that his energy levels dropped dangerously low, worrying you. They were too careless with your sparkmate, too mindless.
"Rest your optics for a moment," you told him, offering your shoulder. "I'll keep an optic on them."
At least for a little while.
He looked like he wanted to protest, but he had no energy to. He resigned himself to exhaustion, resting his helm on your shoulder and going offline for a few moments. You sighed contently, happy to take some of the load off him.
"Sentinel!"
Your sparkmate jerked back online, blinking a few times to clear his vision. He immediately stood up and responded to the call, despite your reluctance to let him go.
"Let me help you."
You found him cleaning up after the other Primes, not even hesitating to assist. He protested, but you refused to listen.
It got done faster, and you were happy to drag him back to your shared berthroom to get some much-needed rest. He tried to fight his exhaustion to spend a little more time with you, but you assured him you'd still be there when he came back online.
You were starting to notice a change in him, a spark of resentment for the other Primes, and it was worrying you despite your shared feelings on the matter.

“I feel like most parents are generally okay as long as you don’t end up in prison and even then they can look the other way as long as it’s not for murder,” she was willing to admit. She knew that expectations could be high in some cases but most people just wanted their kids to live to see adulthood and everything else was sort of a bonus. She couldn’t hide the amusement crossing her features as she tried to think up a side of Jace that wasn’t the nice, relatively tame version she knew. “You didn’t murder anyone as far as I am aware. You didn’t knock anyone up as far as I know. I think you probably got a pass. I mean, I didn’t know teenage you but even when I think of you getting into mischief I feel like it was probably relatively tame. You can correct me and tell me what a bad boy you were though if you want for my personal amusement. I mean, we've previously talked about the tattoos so... I know there is something in there.”
“Not and win but people try,” she confessed. She knew there were plenty of people out there that thought they could outrun their own luck. Those people were usually doing the complete opposite of what they should be doing if they wanted their life to go a certain direction. It was always easier to see from the outside looking in though. She had decided relatively early on that the stress of trying to make life turn out any certain way wasn’t worth it. It was better to just enjoy life and let it be what it was going to be. “I think that we’re all a culmination of a million possibilities but in the end only one can win for good or bad. I’m honestly not going to spend a lot of time stressing over it,” she admitted, glancing between Jace and the lights. “A Christmas allegory felt very fitting for our surrounding. It’s all so pretty.”
Tumblr media
There were worse things to be curious in than taxidermy if you were also interested in animals and nature, Jason knew that to be true. It might not be a popular opinion, or something that he would even suggest for other people to pick up -- or something he ever planned on picking up, either, for that matter -- but anything that furthered your education, made you feel like you were learning more about something that you were passionate about and really put a lot of care into was going to be a good thing. At least in his eyes, anyway. "I think she had more important things to worry about," he laughed, shrugging both shoulders. That was normally the case with his parents, and he didn't mind it.
"Can't really fight fate," he agreed with a shake of his head. Not that Jason was the kind of person that believed in a lot of superstitious things, or deep, meaningful sayings that were supposed to guide you through life, but… he did like to think that he had gotten to where he was supposed to be, even if it hadn't been the path he had figured he would take. The end was what mattered. "I mean, I'm sure that's true. Any number of things could have happened while I was overseas to have changed my entire outlook on life and what I wanted," he could have become a career military man, he could have moved far, far away, he could have not made it home at all. Something that he didn't quite want to spend his time thinking about. "Very apt for the season," he replied with a nod and a laugh, "but it's a valid point."

hi my love!! im excited to see what ur blog will contain hehe omg im so ecstatic that u commented that ur interested in the whole right brained reader thing hehe i js want to know ur thoughts on the relationship dynamic of having a more humanitarian reader who likes english, arts everything that's quite opposite to what luigi is like!!
hihi!! omg I’m SO excited too!! i already feel so welcomed!! ok this is so fun, buckle in!! bear with me!!
since luigi seems to be so analytical and anal with his thought processes (like you mentioned), i can see him pre-relationship being a bit skeptical while getting to know you; just because that’s not how his brain works. at the start he’d ask you so many questions. you’d have so many conversations that would give him better insight into your mind, to make sure you’re not just in la la land all the time. it’s giving, waiting for 3rd or 4th date to talk politics?… no. 1st date we’re talking about thoughts on religion, the afterlife, etc.
also, that’s not an insult to right brained/artistic ppl, I’m one of them (if you couldn’t tell lol)! i’ve been perceived as dumb(er than others) because I’m so driven by creativity, english and the arts (NOT scientific or mathematical at all). It's only once someone gets to know me better, that they learn how intelligent I am. right brain thinkers are more likely to be dismissed or overlooked, imo!
someone like luigi may not have been too surrounded by many right brain thinkers let alone dated them, and he would be so curious about what goes on in your mind.
obviously, you do develop a relationship and the dynamic would be adorable. you balance each other out! there may be some minor situations and misunderstandings where his strict, logical, rational self isn’t sure where you’re coming from; but he always listens to you explain your POV, and does come around to understand it. he’s very open minded, esp when it comes to you!
he loves your brain. i mean, he’s so fascinated by it. you find art, beauty, creativity and meaning in things that he could’ve never perceived in such a way. both of your brains work in different ways that are both so important.
whether you come to him about a situation all pouty, or do the opposite, acting stubborn and silent about it until he picks up on your mood shift, coming over to help you.. he’ll have a solution. he’d drop anything to brainstorm a way to help you solve your problems. for luigi, because of his logical problem solving, the solution is usually simple for him to come up with. but then you’re standing there with stars in your eyes like ‘wow luigi😍❤️ i would’ve never come up with that🤩 thank you so much😩’ and he’s just there, giddy, bc you make him feel so smart and useful. he’s so happy when he can help you in any way.
there will probably be a lot of funny moments trying to make decisions together. you might want to decide based on gut feeling, or your emotions, but he’ll be so analytical; thinking of every detail. for example, buying furniture together. you might be like “omg! this couch is such a cute colour, matches the vibe of our apartment and it feels so soft!” and luigi would be like “uhm… yeah! cute! but… (pulls out tape measure) it isn’t the correct dimensions, the fabric isn’t stain resistant, the cushion covers aren’t removable, and it isn’t well reviewed online….😅🥸”
if he’s not with you, he’ll take photos of things he sees while out-and-about, maybe exploring, and send them to you. or!!! when he comes home, he’ll be all excited to show you stuff he took pictures of, wondering what your perspective on it would be, how you would interpret it. he’ll go through the pictures with you and just listen to you gush over something artsy or interpretive, like if he saw graffiti he thought you’d find cool, a quote from a book or painting at a museum. idk!
if he goes book shopping for his own yk NON fiction books, he’ll always come back with a book or two for you. he’ll get home, probably make some sort of joke like “i just chose the book that had the most colourful cover”, when in reality he spent time at the bookstore looking through the books, reading so many back covers to choose one that he knows you’ll genuinely enjoy. or, he’ll just buy a book he remembers you mentioning you wanted in passing. even if he wouldn’t enjoy reading it, he enjoys knowing it brings you joy. and if you talk to him about a book you’re reading/read, he’ll listen as if it’s his favourite genre.
me personally, idk if it’s the eldest daughter in me, but i LOVE being taken care of + i think he’d enjoy feeling helpful. like if i was drawing on an app on my ipad and it crashed or something, i’d go running to him for help.. with anything technology related (even if i had an idea of how i could fix it myself) like heyyy my lil compsci problem solver.. help pls😇
overall, i think this dynamic is so sweet as long as you can both embrace each others differences and find that harmony. he would add more structure to your life while appreciating your perspective, and you’d add more spontaneity, empathy & creativity to his!
also idk if i touched enough on this, but this dynamic is literally a humanitarian power couple. like fighting for what’s right, with his brain and your heart!! best of both worlds for a well rounded perspective!! mwhahaha
thank you so much for submitting that! oh my god that was so much fun I’m not insane i promise (maybe a lil hehehe) it is literally 7 am i am going to sleep now. i just started responding to that ask and couldn’t stop. aaa love it!!
i hope you liked it!! don’t be afraid to give feedback, anyone! i loooovee requests like these!! keep em coming!! mwah

part of the appeal of a jason & rose team up to me is that they are so similar personality-wise but they are soooo different in their approach to crimefighting in the sense that jason is a meticulous planner and rose does not plan more than 10 minutes ahead. jason spends weeks putting together every aspect of their plan and backup plans in case something goes wrong just for rose to ruin it by going "im gonna kick down this door and see if anyones behind it"

There's a lot about discussion of hdwr that baffles me (not all discussion to be clear, because i do think there's a lot of good discussion about hdwr. But equally so are there the ones that make you wonder if you're reading the same story) and I think one that is especially annoying is the constant infantilization of miwa as this passive eternal victim. It drives me up a wall because this is quite literally an issue she's struggled with within the text of the story! She had an arc about how she dislikes how people treat her this way like towards the beginning of the story! And like even ignoring that, this story is about like nuanced and realistic portrayals of being in relationships and learning how to navigate them and so it's like what's the point if you're going to immediately reduce the characters to "the victim" and "the victimizers?" Is that even interesting? Is that a useful lens to look at interpersonal relationships?
#how do we relationship#hdwr#this is about the poll in the subreddit but i also saw similar comments (mostly about sae) on the website i was initially reading hdwr#i dunno like i'm like miwa fan numero uno so like i get ardently defending her but in my opinion#part of what makes these characters interesting is that all of them are extremely flawed in ways that can negatively feedback on each other#miwa has also done bad things to the other characters and been bad for them as well#i do think miwa repeatedly trying to turn being fwb with sae into a second chance despite sae clearly saying no#and repeatedly breaking sae's boundaries during that time was bad and shitty of her#i do think her avoiding tamaki and trying to supress her feelings despite that not being what tamaki asked for or wanted was bad andimmature#i do think that while miwa was under no obligation to say it to her i do think miwa's inability to tell sae that she loved her#even while asking to get back together was undeniably bad for sae as someone who had insecurities about being loved#personally these things are not unfortunate irredeemable aspects of her character#nor do they justify or excuse what happens to her#but instead characterize her as being inexperienced with romance and having strong feelings she isn't always able to completely express#or understand fully. this is an aspect of her character that is relateable and understandable to me#i find it hard to say that if i was in her position i wouldn't make the same mistakes as her#and like this is just one aspect of miwa's character. she of course has more than this which is why i am miwa fan numero uno but also#the same is true for like all of the main cast#they have depth and flaws that are relateable and realistic. even if you don't like a character's actions they're internally consistent#within not only the character themselves and the context of what they've been through but also the narrative itself i feel#which is why i like this story#so it feels unfortunate to flatten that all into who hurt who more or who is innocent and who is evil or whatever#like yes i obviously do think what sae did in like volume 5 was bad i also think what she did in vol 1-4 were also various shades of bad too#yes i do think what tamaki did in 103 was obviously bad#i mean ch. 119 and ch. 120 most likely are about exploring the consequences that has had on miwa#i just don't think it's useful interesting or even correct to look at those events as 'bad people doing bad things'#also while not related to miwa i think people who treat yuria and sae's relationship this way also baffle me i cannot understand it#channel 3

Guys. I did not know before now that writing could be painfully millennial in a full prose book but the pho*nix ke*per has proven me wrong and I have to complain about it in the tags
#k talks#weird astrix is because I don't want this showing up in the tag just in case#but I NEED To complain about this book real quick. I love a magical zoo that part was fun but good lord the main character....#I get what the author was trying to do with her arc and I will say the second half of the book is better than the first but Jesus christ#I hated the main character at the start she is SO annoying. not to be mean I know the whole point is her overcoming her anxiety#but like. I swear to God every two pages was just oooh I'm so awkward I'm such an introvert I'm such an awkward scrawny turtle!!!!#like CONSTANT. even worse though she's mean about it. for like half the book she's just so incredibly judgy at her public outreach job#she literally works at a zoo and has to learn hmmm... zoos need money??? zoos are also about... educating the public??? WHATT????#also it just felt so weird because she is constantly talking about how pale and skinny and pasty and scrawny and white she is#like constantly. and her best friend is a black trans woman who CONSTANTLY coddles and supports the mc in a very maternal way#and her love interest is latina-coded I'm pretty sure and is much more confident and opinionated and is literally described as fiery once#so like. hm! Okay! interesting! Interesting stereotypes going on tbh!!!#the mc learns some lessons and gets slightly less insufferable but like. also it was SO predictable I always knew what was gonna happen nex#and the writing style... like I said above it is MILLENNIAL and not in a fun way. the word boop is used several times. the humor is awful#the main character has multiple conversations about being so uwu bottom even though there's no sex in this book??? why??#and every single character description is repeated OVER and OVER with the same two details. SO much telling basically no showing#the writing was just so... quirky. ooooh look at me I'm awkward I trip over things I can't do make-up I love sitting on the couch!!!!#like. idk. obviously a lot of people really liked this book and I SHOULD have been one of them. Sapphic romance at a magic zoo....#but the execution was just so incredibly not my thing it actively pissed me off even if I can see what the author was trying to achieve#maybe I just don't like cozy fantasy. man. there was a bit where a guy should've gotten eaten by a kelpie but didn't. so maybe too cozy#for my tastes actually. which is weird I feel like I should enjoy cozy fantasy! especially about animals!!! but maybe this was just a fluke#anyways. to be clear I am not trying to make fun of the MC for having anxiety. just the overall way her social awkwardness was WRITTEN abou#really bothered me. idk man I'm a neurotic freak as well but I try to be NICE about it. and I have the correct zoo opinions. so.

"I’ve seen a lot of people say that the Hells will side with the gods and I don’t think I agree. Especially as Imogen has been scolded and villainized over and over for daring to try and save her mother—who herself has been seen by some as an irredeemable evil in spite of her drive being the exact same—her family—but when it’s the Gods it’s justified? When it’s the Gods, it’s sympathetic? Too sympathetic to criticize further than “they’re family”?"
good meta op, but i'm slightly confused about this part. are you talking of the fandom here or the narrative? because from what i've seen and remember, imogen has definitely been scolded or villanized as you say, by the fandom, but has she been treated that way by the hells or anyone else? i guess keyleth comes to mind, but apart from that, the hells seemed supportive of her wanting to reach out and reconcile with her mom.
Prefacing what i'm sure will be an overly long mostly tangent: you obviously do not have to agree with my interpretations of any scene I'm about to bring up and if you don't sick cool please do not make it a problem
A bit of both, to be honest! The use of the word “villainizing” was definitely more geared toward fandom response, but Imogen has absolutely been scolded—or maybe shamed is the better word—in campaign several times! Yes by Keyleth threatening her in front of them all just for being ruidusborn and related to Liliana, but also by Orym in particular several times.
Which is not to say that Orym doesn’t want Imogen to save her mother—obviously he does!—but it has definitely been more than once that he has shut down her grief and her processing her relationship with her mother by inserting his own grief over it, notably in the immediate aftermath of Ruidus and convo with Liliana.
(Which, yes, he immediately apologized for, but I do find it interesting that Imogen got shit from fandom for her response in the scene I'm about to bring up in episode 49 for EVER but no one was allowed to criticize Orym's response as impulsive and insensitive there and he notably was not disassociating or being actively manipulated. Just think it's interesting!)
And while it wasn’t nearly so livid in it’s delivery, that moment in 49 where she was just trying to process seeing her mother and speaking with her and being presented with the idea of peace for the first time in her life was delivered (though you could argue this wasn’t his intent; honestly I don’t think it was, but—) in a way that immediately had her plummeting into self-deprecating apologies for being effectively manipulated. I’ve actually written a bit before about how I find the youth of his grief making it more volatile in comparison to the rest of the hells’ grief deeply compelling as a thematic beat!
That’s a bit of a tangent just bc I find specifically the dynamic between Orym/Imogen/Liliana to be a very compelling one lmao but even in the Uthodurn arc with Chetney insight checking her to see if she was telling the truth or not about her intentions with her mother. Or Fearne bringing up to Orym (also back in 49) the question of what they planned to do with/to her if she turned. It's not that I think, necessarily, that those were ill intentioned but they were coming from a place of, at best, mistrust specifically because of her connection to Liliana. Really only Ashton and Laudna—and FCG, funnily enough—have not in some way taken her grief and yearning and turned against her when it comes to placing their trust in her (whether she was aware they did so or not), which of course speaks to a certain interpretation they had of her character at the time.
And, also, this has obviously since changed and most of them mostly understand where she’s coming from now—especially Orym!—but it doesn’t make the fact that it happened any less true!

the anons are making assumptions which i'm confused about, but than again i am just all over the place sometimes so i get it. i have never said i was above "drama" can't consider this last thing as drama honestly considering the topic and disgust i am feeling, oh and being petty and mean. its just reserved for one person and associates cause i enabled some bullshit with him being a depressed loser. now i just say whatever on my blog and deal with it like an adult. its good to suffer consequences for yapping.
