Unnecessarily long rant post about various tcc related things

(selfships, ships, bad headcanons, columposers, "femcels")

I like actually hate tcc selfships so much, I don't care when people say freaky shit about tcc people cause most the time they're joking and I do it too. But like genuine selfships, like drawing themselves or an self insert or an oc with tcc people (what am I even supposed to call them)

Like I hate seeing those blogs where it's like "Dylan's little girl >.<" (extremely directed, you know who you are..). Or like drawing themselves with their favs (in a not joking way), even edits and "___ x oc/reader" fics. Theres another person on TikTok who makes edits of them x Andrew blaze, it makes me so mad cause I think im finding a cool edit and then I get flash banged with some randoms face.

Also I really don't care for the "well what if they're coping, this is a coping mechanism" argument like no, I don't care, cope some other way WITHOUT SHIPPING YOURSELF WITH KILLERS. Having a crush or intrest in a tcc person is okay but like genuinely shipping yourself with them is lowk kinda weird. Cause like I hate seeing people ship themselves with Eric or Dylan (in a serious sense, not a stupid funny haha) and they're everything Eric and Dylan hate. Like I hope you know they would've shot you if they knew about that

The selfshippers are usually so annoying too, like "ohemgee!!!! Don't say that abt Dylan he's mine!!1!1!1!" And then you get doxxed or some shit, like please go outside and touch some grass. Half the time they're greasy as hell or those "ohmigod I'm such a femcel lol!! >__<" just bcuz they're tcc and a female whose just a little different.

It's a little different with movie tcc people, like Andre and Cal because they are fictional and didn't actually shoot up a school. Even those ones are on thin ice, but I don't see as much of them luckily but I do see a lot of shitty Caldre.

Shitty Caldre as in Calvin is suddenly a AuDHD he/they shy femboy and Andre is a big tough guy whose actually secretly a big softie for cal and they go on little dates. Like no oh my god you clearly did not watch the movie, the only way I think of them as "dating" (using this VERY loosely) is them just being normal teenage boys, like when guys their age flirt because they're close friends. Sometimes a little bit of Caldre is okay but only when they're properly displayed the same way they are in the movie. Same with dylric, they were just close friends and had a distaste for gay people (from what I know) and I don't really know how to feel about dylric, but anytime I see one of those "Eric and Dylan kissing and being gay boyfriends >___<" posts I cry a little.

Plus the bad headcanons attached to both pairings, like I just wanna rip my hair out everytime I see one of those long headcanon posts and there's not a single good one, it's always like the "when they cuddle.." things. If I'm gonna take time out of my day to read a headcanon sheet it better be good, or bad fanfics like why am I even reading this. Sometimes bad fanfics are good but it's always the like 100-500 word ones that make me want to peel off the first layer of my skin, cause you can tell what kind of person is lurking behind that screen, it's probably some 11/12 year old that found out about zero day but never watched the movie. I feel like sometimes most people in the zero day fandom never watched the movie, also personal opinion I don't think that Andre self harms if I'm being so real here. Like I get where they're coming from with Cal but I don't get it with Andre.

I also don't like the people who dress like Cal and Andre, I own the shirts and sometimes I wear them but I never genuinely dress up as them, I usually wear them around my house, it's more of a "oh no I have no clean laundry" and I just have to wear it. But like people who go into full cosplay, like I saw someone genuinely buy a wig for it, like please ohmygyat. It just feels like seeing a columposer and I have a hatred for columposers, like tell me why you thought it was a good idea to leave your home in a wrath or natural selection shirt, like Columbine isn't underground, it was a real national tragedy.

Liking Columbine is fine as long as you aren't doing anything weird or harmful, but I feel like dressing as them puts you in both categories. But they always think they're so cool, it's always the most basic Columbine fans. They always listen to KMFDM or Rammstein and if they're trans (9 times out of 10 they usually are) they go by Dyl or Dylan. Plus they just take all of their personality from Eric and Dylan, it's always those intro posts that are like "name: Dylan music: KMFDM drink: Dr Pepper".

Please get a real personality oh my god 😢😢 cause I see like 20 people like that a day, please can we get some originality in this community. But the kind of columposers I hate the most is the ones that think they're the next Eric Harris, like calm down edge lord you're 14... they're manifestos always sound the same like "I hate everybody..... nobody understands me... they're all gonna feel my wrath... I'm gonna be worse than Eric and Dylan could ever be... mwhahahahah..." like shut up oh my god. You are not Eric's top guy bud, then they own a natural selection shirt and when they try to actually shoot up their school they just get caught cause it's always the people in private school trying to be the next Columbine. Like it's not my fault you live in the suburbs chill out.

It's so annoying to come on this app or look at the news and it another retard who thinks they're the second coming. And I have no shame admitting that I hate that Samantha chick, she honestly seemed so fucking annoying. And I hate the stupid "ERM... if you hate her you're misogynistic..." like what 😭. Just because she's a girl doesn't mean I'm a bad guy for hating her, I wasn't thinking about her gender when I decided I hated her ass. There's a new case every week, she's not special. She honestly was the worse thing I've heard about, everytime I hear about her I want to gouge my eyes out, she was just a supreme edge lord who thought she could be Eric. She thought she was so special for hating women like she wasn't a woman, like how fucking stupid are you, plus it's kinda pathetic how she only killed two people (all respect towards them) and then just killed herself, like oh my god at that point just kill yourself in your own house.

I also know the argument of Adam being a columposer is gonna come up, like "how are you gonna say you hate columposers but you worship one". Like yes I'm aware of the fact his shooting was "inspired" by columbine but he was also delusional as hell, like he was an autistic schizo that didn't leave his house. There was a lot more going into that shooting than just Columbine in mind, I don't really think of him as a columposer because it was a lot of psychological issues as well but I get where people are coming from when they say he's a columposer.

But still on the topic of Samantha and her being a woman hater, I just fucking hate femcels, not real femcels but "femcels >___< 🎀" LIKE OH MY GYAT. You aren't a femcel you delusional creep, you're just a female on tumblr get over it, you aren't special. Theyre all the same too, I feel like all femcel accounts are run by the same person. Theyre always some cutecore shit and have micro bangs, they all look the same.

Being a femcel or just an incel is just being frustrated with the lack of sexual or romantic opportunity in their life, that is the dictionary definition. You aren't a femcel if you bedrot, like Columbine, tcc in general, cutecore, hate women or men, if you're just delusional, or a Sematary fan. I feel like no one actually knows what being an incel or femcel means and it pisses me off so much because it's like saying the sky is green. Like you aren't a femcel, there's literally men in your dm's and you have a boyfriend shut up oh my god. It's just so infuriating seeing people being wrong all the time, I hate when I see false information.

It just makes me so mad and that's what most of this rant has been about, I hate seeing people be wrong like you're wrong because this tcc person would've hated you so much. You're wrong because that's not how these people were displayed in the movie. You're wrong because you're not gonna be the next Eric and Dylan. You're wrong because you're not a real femcel.

Sorry if this came off as annoying in anyway but I feel like i genuinely needed to get that off my chest cause im tired of it all.

MK Character intros with my OC

I know I don't write for OC's but I'm soooo in love with MK right now so. I wanted to write about MK intros with my MK OC! Background of her that is still in the works; Luci is one of Shang Tsung's experiments, he captured her from her house in the middle of the night and during his experiments she grew fox ears and a tail. He was intrigued by this and kept her for now. She has come to terms that she can’t escape him and fell to Stockholm so she is pretty fond of Shang and Shang is pretty fond her as well, in fact he can be pretty possessive. Sometimes she wishes she could go back to her normal life. She was close with Lui Kang, Kung Lao, and Raiden, but seeing that none of them have come to save her she holds some hatred for them. May do a part two of the other characters 😉 Please let me know how this was because I am so nervous posting about my OC because they are very personal to me and I get to self indulge with them. Um so I goofed and my mind had their looks based off MK1 (Except for Raiden and Lui Kang) but the timeline is like MK11 so yeah I'm sorry I'm stupid lol.

Shang Tsung: Come now Luci, you know fighting me is pointless, I’ve proven this many time

Luci: I’ve grown tired of being treated like a pet Shang!

Shang Tsung: *Chuckles* C’mon you know you like it

Luci: *points at Shang* Your soul is mine!

Shang Tsung: *laughs and shakes his head* I do not sound like that

Luci: I don't know I think that impression was spot on *puts hands on hips proudly*

Luci: Why did you do this to me!?

Shang Tsung: You simply caught my interest and I needed another test subject

Luci: Why are you so cruel?!

Luci: *Tail fluffs out* You, me, my room, tonight *winks*

Shang Tsung: Oh? What brought out this side of you?

Luci: Guess *shrugs shoulders not so innocently and giggles*

Luci: Can you please stop petting me out of nowhere?

Shang Tsung: Hm, no your too cute when your suprised

Luci: Of fucking course...

Shang Tsung: Stop flirting with everyone Luci... *Glares*

Luci: Make me *Sticks out tongue*

Shang Tsung: Your just trying to make me jealous, yeah?

~~~~~~~~~

Johnny Cage: So do you go into heat or something?

Luci: That is none of your business! *Blushes while her tail spikes out*

Johnny Cage: Imma take that as a yes

Luci: Y’know I used to enjoy your movies..

Johnny Cage: Used to? What the hell happened?!

Luci: I was abducted

Johnny Cage: Here kitty kitty

Luci: I hate you so much right now

Johnny Cage: Don’t lie to yourself babes

Luci: Shang will hurt you for trying to romance me

Johnny Cage: Babe I am not scared of someone like him

Luci: You should be…

Luci: I'm literally one of your biggest fans!

Johnny Cage: *laughs* Do you want me to give you an autograph?

Luci: Yes please! Sign right on my chest!

Johnny Cage: What's cookin good looking?

Luci: *blushes* uh um heh..

Johnny Cage: Yeah I have that affect on people *Brushes off his shoulder*

~~~~~~~~~

Noob Saibot: Stop calling me emo!

Luci: All I said was "Whatever Ayesha said about emo boys‼️"

Noob Saibot: I will make sure to put you in your place...

Luci: Would I technically be a necrophile if I were to fuck you?

Noob Saibot: ...What..

Luci: Don't act so shy now

Luci: So... do you and your clone wanna have a two man with me?

Noob Saibot: What about that sorcerer your with? Won't he be upset about you flirting?

Luci: He can join if y'all want *Tail swishes*

Noob Saibot: Death longs for you and your embrace

Luci: Tell death to wait a few more years

Noob Saibot: I'm afraid I don't have that much more patience

Noob Saibot: Come join me in the darkness Luci~

Luci: If only I could, how 'bout you come join me instead?

Noob Saibot: I do not like sharing much less with some sorcerer

Luci: Shang's not happy that your trying to recruit me into the darkness...

Noob Saibot: What he feels doesn't matter

Luci: Yeah well your not the one he is taking it out on...

~~~~~~~~~

Lui Kang: Luci I'm sorry for what happened

Luci: Shut up and fight me

Lui Kang: I would redo everything if I could

Luci: I just want to know why

Lui Kang: Raiden said not too

Luci: And you listened to him?!

Lui Kang: I miss our friendship so does Kung Lao

Luci: As do I but you betrayed me

Lui Kang: And I will never forgive myself for it

Luci: Just leave me alone Lui I do not wish to speak to you again

Lui Kang: I will never stop until I make things right

Luci: Then prove you are truly sorry

Lui Kang: We should hang out again, I miss your company

Luci: I wish I could say the same about you, I'm more happy with Shang

Lui Kang: Shang has corrupted your mind!

Luci: I wonder if things could've been different

Lui Kang: If they could I would make sure it would happen

Luci: Oh Lui I miss everyone...

~~~~~~~~~

Kung Lao: Come back to us I miss you, we all do

Luci: You should've thought about your actions

Kung Lao: We were just following orders!

Kung Lao: Just let Lui and I take you out like we used too!

Luci: How I will miss our hangouts...

Kung Lao: They don't have to end!

Kung Lao: Leave Shang Tsung and come with me!

Luci: What about Raiden?

Kung Lao: I will make him understand if he doesn't

Luci: Oh Kung Lao can we not fight anymore...

Kung Lao: I'm sorry but you made your bed you must lie in it now

Luci: I was forced into this role!

Luci: Y'know I used to like you

Kung Lao: You mean I had a chance?

Luci: Yeah but you blew it, I prefer people who can actually protect me

Luci: It's a shame we meet in these circumstances

Kung Lao: Agreed I wish things didn't go as they did

Luci: Things will never be the same again

~~~~~~~~~

Raiden: It deeply pains me that things turned out this way

Luci: Everything is your fault, you only have yourself to blame

Raiden: And I accept that and will never let myself forget it

Raiden: Do not give Kung Lao and Lui Kang hope

Luci: Fuck off Raiden you can't control us!

Raiden: I'll make sure you will listen!

Raiden: Please accept my apology I didn't want it to turn out this way..

Luci: You left me to die!

Raiden: I thought you were strong enough to escape!

Luci: I hate you! Go to hell!

Raiden: This will not take back what happened!

Luci: No, but it will make me feel better!

Luci: Just answer me this, why?

Raiden: I...I cannot answer that

Luci: You've disappointed me for the last time

Luci: Could we ever go back to the way things were?

Raiden: No, I wish but the possibility of you being corrupted is too high

Luci: Oh..I see *ears and tail droop*

~~~~~~~~~

~Others mentioning Luci~

Johnny Cage: So you and Luci aren’t a thing right?

Shang Tsung: Don’t even think about going near her!

Johnny Cage: Sheesh don’t get your panties in a twist

Shang Tsung: I heard you tried going after my pet..

Johnny Cage: For one thing she isn’t a pet and also she was soo into it

Shang Tsung: Lies! I will make sure you never look at her again!

Lui Kang: You took Luci away from us!

Shang Tsung: Stop acting like you care, you didn’t even try to rescue her…

Lui Kang: Shut up!

Raiden: The things you've done to her, I'll make sure you will pay!

Shang Tsung: Stop acting like you care for her, I provide her with everything she needs

Raiden: You've forced her into that life!

Lui Kang: Why couldn't we have saved her?

Raiden: I..I have no answer...please forgive me for my mistake

Lui Kang: You have betrayed not only her, but I as well Lord Raiden

Lui Kang: I miss Luci very deeply, I wish we would've rescued her

Kung Lao: If I could go back in time I would ignore Raiden's warning

Lui Kang: As would I, this mistake will forever haunt me

Raiden: Us fighting will not fix what has happened

Kung Lao: Not but it will make me feel better

Raiden: Luci would not want this to happen!

Johnny Cage: I can't believe Luci found you attractive

Kung Lao: I can't believe she found your movies entertaining

Johnny Cage: Cause she knows talent when she sees it

Shang Tsung: Does it break your heart that she now loves me?

Kung Lao: She will never love someone like you!

Shang Tsung: Are you sure about that?

Die Sonne | Apex Alpha König x Female Omega Original Character

Chapter summary- Mina finally gave in and signed up for the Alpha Omega matchmaking service. Only it doesn't go quite how she planned.

Warnings: a/b/o dynamics, general anxiety, no König yet as I'm just setting this up. No real description of oc yet other than the name. Not beta or proofread. 1.6K words

Please be nice this is my first time posting any of my own stuff. Let me know what ya think! Don't be shy! Don't be rude tho!

The soft blue glow of Mina’s phone screen illuminated the room as she reluctantly opened the compatibility app. MatchMakes they called it, she rolled her eyes at the generic name. She had finally succumbed to the pressure of family to submit her samples in an effort to find a match. She had never had those thoughts of marriage like other little Omegas her ago, no she wanted more than that. Wanted her freedom to go and do as she pleased, though she knew she would eventually have to submit to an alpha given her designation, something about that thought put a cloud over her thoughts. 

Mina didn’t want to be mistreated or controlled as she had seen so many other mated couples. She put it off as long as she could but as her birthday approached she knew she couldn’t put it off any longer. Her heats were becoming more intense, lasting longer and she had even began to resist the blockers she had taken since her presentation at the tender age of 18. At the very least she would need to find an alpha she could trust to see her through her heats. Fat chance at that though. Alphas were territorial, passive, aggressive when provoked or displeased and in her opinion a gigantic pain in the ass more often that not.

Sighing she pushed those thoughts aside and opened the app seeing a notification. Opening it she quickly scanned the formal email stating the compatibility service had a few scent samples for her to choose from and that she could either come in person (they even listed appointments to chose from) or they could mail her a package, whichever was more convenient or comfortable for her. She thought for a moment, considering having it mailed if for nothing but to prolong the inevitable for a few more days. She typed out a quick reply selecting the closest appointment figuring it was best to just get this over with. 

She hadn’t always been so leery of alphas, it was more the way her parents acted as if she couldn’t do anything for her self without one. She didn’t have much experience with them other than on a professional level, and even then she worked from home most of the time so there were little opportunities to interact. Before then school had taken up most of her life, she realized very early in life if she stayed in school her parents wouldn’t pressure her to settle down with an arranged marriage. She would much rather do things her way so she did. She sent in her scent samples and filled out the digital mountain of paperwork they asked for and here she was soon to be faced with possible doom. 

Not all alphas were bad but they were aggressive at times especially the Apex Alphas. She shivered thinking about them. One thing her mother had always cautioned her about was the Apex Alphas. They weren’t normal Alphas no these were behemoths almost always male, they were faster, bigger and harder to contain than any of the second genders even though they were rare. Even more rare than Omegas these days at only 10% of the population. 

Her phone lit up once again signaling another notification from the app confirming her appointment along with a slew of instructions about the meeting. Her brows shot up as she read through everything. The alphas would be there on site in case she chose one to accompany her next heat. A nervous knot began to form in her stomach turning her normally sweet scent sour. What if she didn’t like any of them? Or worse what if she did like one and he rejected her? Her inner omega whined at that. Shaking her head she cleared her thoughts, standing from the couch she made her way to her bed determined to get some rest and not worry about what would happen at the appointment. 

* *

The next morning she woke to her alarm blaring beside her head. Groaning she shut it off and threw her phone somewhere on the bed. Rolling in bed she ducked her head under the covers and squished her eyes shut as tightly as she could, hoping she could block out the day and what lay ahead of her. She almost succeeded in drifting back to sleep when her phone rang again signaling if she wanted a shower and coffee she would need to get up. Now. 

A few hours later she found herself outside the seemingly endless office block. Looking up she couldn’t even see the top of the building among the clouds. She closed her eyes taking a deep cleansing inhale she made a promise to herself that she would do this her own way. That she was the one to make the decision. It didn’t matter who wanted her or not she would choose for herself her own path in destiny. Reaching out she opened the door stepping into her destiny fully embracing it. At least until the smell hit her. Her nose scrunched slightly at the strong smell of disinfectant cleaner clinging to seemly every surface. The lobby was white and sterile looking just like any other doctors office. 

The receptionist greeted her as two betas approached her. One male and one female. Ah so these are my handlers then she thought. 

“You must be Mina! We were so happy to receive your response so quickly. I am Tara and this is Emil. We will be assisting you with the selection process.” The female- tara said warmly. 

“Yes h-hello.” She winced at her fumble but the two betas just smiled softly, likely scenting her anxiety and guided her to the conference room to begin. There was a large conference table set up with several stacks of files, water and snacks. Tara motioned for her to sit as she gathered up a few of the files placing them in front of mina. 

“We will have you start with these. If none of their scents spark any interest we can go back through the system and try again at another appointment.” Tara smiled at her and placed her hand on mina’s shoulder before continuing, “I know this is a lot but you need to trust your omega through this process. Can you do that?” Mina nodded in response, eyes going a little wide at the question. 

Elias spoke this time “Okay then! We will step out to give you some time to go through everything. If you need breaks that’s fine there is no rush at all.” Elias winked at her before tugging on taras arm guiding her out of the room. 

Mina was now alone. Faced with her potential future. She shook her head dispelling the thoughts of destiny and what ifs. Shrugging off her jacket she sunk down into the chair and grabbed the stack of folders. Slowly she began sifting through them. None had photos which was to be expected. The selection was supposed to go off of what an alpha could offer her and most importantly attraction, which started with scent. 

Sighing she opened the ziplock bag attached to the first file. An almost acidic scent assaulted her senses. Quickly she zipped it back up and continued down the stack. It went much the same way for the rest, none of them smelled appealing to her at all. Too sour, too sweet, none appealed to her. Until the last file. It was thinner than the rest, but this one had a red stripe of tape down one side of the yellow manilla folder. Curious she thought as she opened the file. There wasn’t much on this Alpha, one form of mostly redacted information and a ziplock was all she found. She hesitated to open the baggie, a strange sense of foreboding washed over her, as if her omega knew something she didn’t. 

Opening the baggie she inhaled the mysterious alphas scent. Oh fuck…. Her inner omega preened at the scent, spicy and musky with a hint of wood smoke and something else she couldn’t place. This one. This was the one she wanted. Quickly she zipped the baggie back up, snatched the folder off the table and opened the door to the hall. Tara and Elias were at a desk across the hall, they looked up as she approached. 

“Any luck?” Tara asked. “Yes I think so. Id like to know more about this one.” Mina held the folder out to her. Taras face dropped and Elias let out a strangled sound. “Oh no dear this simply won’t do!” Tara said her voice low and full of regret. 

“What do you mean?” Mina asked cautiously. “The red stripe…..You have to understand this file wasn’t meant to be in your stack of potential matches. He isn’t suitable for you-“ Elias cut off shortly. 

“Why? Why isn’t he suitable? He is an alpha is he not? He is available and submitted his scent for consideration correct?” Mina needed answers and she knew from the looks on their faces they weren’t wanting to give her the full truth. 

Tara stepped forward reaching her hand out to mina. “He’s ��.This alpha is an Apex.” She said quietly. “So you see he isn’t suited to you dear.” Mina’s face dropped at her words. Conflicted she closed her eyes and did what tara asked her to do. She listened to her omega. Lifting the baggie to her nose again she inhaled deeply and let out a satisfied purr. Opening her eyes she set her sights on Elias and Tara watching her carefully. 

“You may think because he is an Apex that he isn’t suited to me, but I still would like to meet him.” Elias looked as though he would protest so Mina stated sharply, “My omega demands it.”   Tara sighed and checked her computer. “Well it seems there was a glitch in the system allowing his application to slip through.” Tara looked up at Mina for a moment. “You are sure this is what you want?” She asked. 

“Yes”

NSFW Alphabet - Hector Carlisle and Karlach Cliffgate

Tagged by @bardic-inspo - thank you! c:

NSFW Alphabet

Honestly I don't know which of my mutuals who I normally tag in OC stuff do and don't feel comfortable with this sort of thing, so I'm gonna do an open tag! If you're reading this and want to do this meme, do it! And tag me in your answers. :)

18+ nsfw content under the cut for obvious reasons. XD

Hector and Karlach!

(Almost did this for Rasaad and Jaheira because they've been rotating in my head a lot lately but maybe that will be another post if there's interest. XD )

Some of this is new for me to think about, but a lot of it is based on things that happen in Prayers and Hellfire and Quiet Zone.

A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)

Massive snugglefest. XD Karlach does take a mildly dominant role most of the time but it's always a v soft vibe between them so the drop is minimal, but both of them are always very high on the endorphins and very much wanting to be close. (This is the case always, really, though - being able to touch each other at all always feels like a tremendous gift under the circumstances.)

B = Body part (Their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

I haven't written about this yet (it's on the never-ending to-do list) but Hector comes to be both entertained and fascinated by Karlach's tail - especially when he discovers that it is very sensitive on the underside right at the base.

Karlach, if asked this question, would immediately joke that she likes hs ass and his tongue, but the truth is she finds his eyes mesmerizing.

C = Cum (Where does your muse prefer to cum/have someone cum?)

Almost always inside. Hector definitely likes this best as it feels very intense and intimate and lets him give up any sense of his usual discipline, but he would change it up if Karlach asked him to. Luckily, though, she feels the same way, and after her raunchy adventures in her youth in Baldur's Gate she's very familiar with cleric services available to make sure nothing comes of it.

(This does mean she ends up bugging Shadowheart a lot until they get to the city. Shadowheart grumbles a lot about this.)

D = Dirty secret (Pretty self explanatory: a dirty secret of theirs)

Honestly, I don't think the two of them have many secrets between them? Hector is fairly reserved but Karlach could tell him she wants basically anything and he would be ready to give it a go.

They did basically pine excessively for each other in secret all the way up until Act 2 bc Hector never got Karlach's Act 1 romance scene. :P

E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)

Hector has never had sex before his first time with Karlach. Karlach has a tremendous amount of experience from her youth but is ten years out of practice.

Consequently, Karlach definitely knows what she's doing in a physical sense and is not shy about telling him exactly what she wants - and he is happy for the guidance. But even for her, their relationship is new ground in a lot of ways; she's never had a long-term relationship before, or one where the sex was so grounded in love.

So in that sense they're both equally inexperienced and the whole thing is very much a learning process. (I should make a note to write fic at some point about some bit of miscommunication or something that eventually happens because there's no way it's smooth sailing all the way through. XD )

F = Favorite position (This goes without saying)

"I want to ride you till you see stars," as Karlach says. She's often on top, which Hector enjoys; he likes feeling the intensity of her weight on him. (He's fully aware that she could snap him in half and he's only human and definitely finds that part of the appeal. XD )

Sometimes, though (as in Prayers and Hellfire), Karlach just really wants Hector to take control and blow her back out, and then they'll usually go for missionary. Hector likes this too - basically he prefers any position where he can look in her eyes during the whole experience.

Karlach also very much enjoys being fucked up against a wall, although their relative heights make this a little challenging sometimes. Once they're staying at the House of Hope during their Avernus campaign post-game, they find a lovely little corner of one of the bedrooms that has a molding lip at about Karlach's waist height, allowing her to lean against it to comfortably get a little lower and let Hector work her over, and it becomes their favorite part of the whole place.

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment? Are they humorous? etc.)

It's not by accident that in Prayers and Hellfire their first time coming together is marked by laughter. :) (And basically all of Quiet Zone is marked by humor on some level.)

Hector is not a very goofy person by nature, and he does see sex (and sex with her specifically) as a sort of sacred act of connection, caring, service. But Karlach is a goofy person, and he enjoys that aspect of her very much - and she brings it out in him more than most people, too. So laughter and teasing are definitely a big part of their intimate moments together in almost all cases.

I think there are definitely individual times when it is more serious, however. There's certainly more than one time in their post-game Avernus adventures where the sex is coming in the aftermath of one of them having been in danger/injured. And probably there are times when Hector's comforting Karlach away from bad memories of her ten-year conscription and the loneliness it entailed - times when the act itself is a lot more emotional.

H = Hair (How well groomed are they? Does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

I'm with those who headcanon that Karlach doesn't bother shaving anywhere. Maybe she did back in the city, but certainly not in Avernus - why would she? - and the habit definitely never came back. Hector is not bothered by this; it's fully something he never had any occasion to give any thought to prior to knowing her, and he doesn't intend to start now. I don't think she has super thick body hair (I don't really see tieflings as having it in general), but what she does have is dark like her head hair.

Hector has lived a very disciplined lifestyle and as such takes pretty rigorous care of himself in terms of cleanliness and personal grooming. He has a medium amount of body hair, also very dark and speckled with grey like his beard and head.

Not quite the intention of the question but Karlach also really enjoys his beard. She likes to fidget with it and feel the texture of it when they're lying around snuggling. c:

I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment? The romantic aspect)

They are such enormous saps for each other it's not even funny. XD And given the way their relationships started, the whole thing is VERY about touch, even more than it would be for most people. No matter what position they're in it's always about being pressed very closely together so as much of them is touching as possible. As mentioned above, Hector really likes being able to look into her eyes and feel as connected as he can during the whole experience.

J = Jack off (Masturbation headcanon)

Masturbation was Hector's only sexual release for his whole life before he met Karlach and it was always something that had to be pretty furtive and secret. He doesn't really have much occasion to do it once they're together, given Karlach's libido, but a few times he does end up pleasuring himself in their tent on nights when she's too tired/injured from some adventure to really participate.

The first time this happens, she notices it - and also notices the fact that he's trying to be subtle/quiet/unnoticed, out of habit from how he would do it in the monastery. And, even though she's too wrecked to actually get involved, she nudges him to not be secretive about it and let her watch and it ends up being a surprisingly intense moment for both of them.

...This would make a really good ficlet. [scribbles notes]

K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)

This feels weird to say given how horndog Karlach is, but I actually don't see either of them as being particularly kinky? I don't think either of them has quite the imagination for coming up with real off-the-wall approaches to sex. XD Karlach describes her earlier sexual escapades as "if it moves, climb aboard", which doesn't suggest a very nuanced and varied approach, and Hector knows basically nothing and is operating primarily on instinct.

Consequently I think the closest they get to kinky stuff is the sort of soft-dom-Karlach dynamic they fall into right from the get-go, though occasionally they do end up experimenting with reversing the roles.

L = Location (Favorite places to do the do)

Anywhere? Karlach's not particularly picky, certainly. XD

Between camp life and post-game Avernus adventures, they definitely learn to be kind of undiscerning in what constitutes ideal conditions for sex. However - moments like the Act 3 romance scene, where they're actually able to get true privacy and take their time, consequently become very important to both of them. It's not really about exactly where they are, but about having that situation of being entirely to themselves for a while and not having to think about anything else.

M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going?)

They're both pretty good at getting each other excited simply by existing. XD Some turn-ons though:

Post-battle adrenaline (especially anything where one of them caught the other being a badass)

As mentioned in Quiet Zone, Karlach finds it really hot when Hector gets into super focused thinky mode. (She would have jumped his bones after the Ansur chess puzzle if the circumstances had allowed.)

Also based on Quiet Zone, I think Hector quite enjoys being distracted by her when he's in the middle of something (as long as it's not something critically important). Something about having his life of cerebral pursuits interrupted by emotion letting himself get swept up in her raw physical power over him. This pairs well with Karlach who loves watching him try (and fail) to keep control of himself in these situations.

(Hm. Maybe I'm changing my answer slightly on the "kink" section; I feel like maybe they'd enjoy one of those situations where he's trying to work on something and she's under the desk. XD )

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Given Karlach's history with being conscripted and trapped, I don't think either of them would ever even think about anything involving restraints, degradation, humiliation. It's all very much about being excited and supportive and safe with each other. (I do have a fic in mind involving Hector taking charge and giving her orders in a sort of military vein, but it would be very much about removing that bad situation's power over her and making it a safe thing between them, and never about any real power play.)

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

As evidenced in Prayers and Hellfire, Hector is an ENTHUSIASTIC giver right from the get-go. It's a big moment for him in that fic when he realizes that sex is powerful because it's a way that he can make the woman he loves feel incredibly good, and he absolutely loves to lose himself in that "sacred duty" in every way possible.

Karlach enjoys returning the favor but Hector is on another level with it. XD I don't think he's extraordinarily skilled at first (things go so well in Prayers and Hellfire less because he knows what he's doing and more because they're madly in love and Karlach is so excited to be getting anything after ten years), but he's a fast learner and takes direction very well.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Really depends on the night. Sometimes when they're both worn out or feeling particularly sentimental, it'll be a slow, drowsy, exploratory sort of process. But probably more often they're pretty intense; I'm not sure "rough" is quite the right word, but... "fierce"? Generally they just want each other real bad and don't see any point in holding back. :D

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Once they're together in Act 2, they are definitely having sex a LOT when the occasion permits - but most of it is in camp and consequently has to be somewhat furtive. So they have no shortage of quick romps when a brief window of time emerges. :P As mentioned above, they both prefer when they can really get some privacy and take their time - but circumstances often don't permit that to be the case, so quickies are very much on the menu in between.

R = Risk (Are they game to experiment? Do they take risks? etc.)

Game? Yes. Do they? Not really. Again, as mentioned above, I don't see either of them as being incredibly imaginative in this regard. It's about the closeness in any form and they're less concerned about specifics.

(But Karlach literally just has to say the word on any idea she has and Hector is there for it. :D )

S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for? How long do they last?)

Hehehe. Hector is a monk. XD His body is his weapon and his tool and he grew up in an enviroment dedicated to self-denial, self-control, discipline, and physical training. This man's stamina is legendary.

Unfortunately, as previously mentioned, most of the time they don't really have time to take full advantage of this since their time is usually a bit limited. But on the occasions when they can - such as the Act 3 sex scene - Hector definitely takes her for enough rounds that she's walking funny the next day. XD Karlach is suitably impressed, because her libido is such that it takes some doing to make her feel fully spent.

T = Toys (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)

Hm.

As I discovered by accident while flycamming the Act 3 sex scene, Hector does enjoy butt stuff. XD So he might actually be down to get pegged. That said, whether it actually happens much, I don't know. I don't think I see them as using toys all that much, to be honest - not out of unwillingness but just because it doesn't come up.

U = Unfair (How much they like to tease)

Karlach likes teasing Hector a lot (as evidenced in Quiet Zone) because she likes seeing him get worked up and struggling to keep composure - and how fierce and intense he gets when it becomes too much to bear.

Hector is a little more direct, I think. When he's giving her pleasure, that's his primary focus and he's like a guided missile.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

As mentioned, a lot of their adventures are in camp, so there's a certain amount of emphasis on having to stay quiet. (It always amuses me when I read fics with secret trysts in camp where there's lots of moaning and crying out happening. That is no longer a secret tryst; those tents are canvas which is not known for its soundproofing capabilities. XD )

Hector is better at the quiet than Karlach is. He tends to get very focused and internalized during the whole experience and everything comes out in little intense whimpers rather than real loud noises most of the time. Karlach is much more vocal and has to put a significant amount of effort into not screaming loud enough to wake everyone up; she does a pretty good job most of the time but nevertheless everyone is fully aware of what is happening.

Post-game in Avernus Hector takes a few more levels in cleric and gets hold of the Silence spell which helps the situation. XD

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Following on from the above - there is a potential monk line which the player can get when sleeping with the drow prostitutes in Sharess's Caress: [MONK] "I stop breathing sometimes when I'm focused. Don't disrupt me, I'm in control."

This definitely happens to Hector at some points - sometimes when he's pleasuring Karlach or they're fucking, but most often when she's focusing on him for the moment. There's a hint of this in Quiet Zone:

It doesn’t take long before he’s hard as a rock in her hand, the heat of his skin against hers rivaling the sweltering Avernus air around them. The rest of his body, still trapped between her and the bookshelf, has gone limp; his weight sags back into her, his head rolling into the crook of her neck. His eyes are closed, lips slightly parted, focusing on her touch with absolute, intense concentration.

He doesn't quite reach the no-breathing point in that fic but in similar scenarios it can definitely happen, and it scares the shit out of Karlach the first time she notices it. (Hector doesn't think to warn her because I don't think he realizes it could happen. XD )

There'll be a fic about this at some point.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Both of them are supremely fit people, although in different ways. Hector's body is all lean muscle, slender and quick, and he's considerably smaller than Karlach in bulk as well as in height. He starts the game in a lot of ways pretty unblemished; there are a few scars from his training but not many. However, he starts aquiring more as the game goes on, particularly a very heavy scar across his shoulder from the Myrkul fight which the bone chill effect prevented Shadowheart from healing before the scarring could take root.

He's well enough endowed but not dramatically so; everything about him is a testament to the phrase, "It's all about how you use it."

Karlach, by comparison, is much bigger and more visibly muscular, and her whole body is covered in scarring, tattoos, and the marks of the engine's functioning in her body. THe most striking thing about her when she's naked is that her whole body has the same subtle glowing effect that her visible chest does in game; her breasts and stomach and "intimate areas" all glow with the same effect that you get when putting your fingers over a flashlight.

Hector hates the engine being the reason for it but does think it makes her look even more beautiful.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Karlach's is higher than Hector's definitely. Hector is almost always willing because his desire for her specifically is always present, but left to his own devices he could go long periods of time without really thinking about sex at all. He'll initiate sometimes but it's Karlach's drive that sets their pace more often.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

See the aforementioned snugglefest. Usually they tend to wear each other out pretty hard so the post-game is just curling up very tight together and falling asleep in one of several positions - sometimes Hector gets spooned up against her, sometimes he falls asleep on her chest, or sometimes she'll roll over on top of him and go to sleep on him like a big warm blanket. XD

[shrimplymoray]

Hello, person whom i may or may not share a home with, it is i, simply the most guy of guys, i would like to request a simple oc (u know who) x Rook Hunt, where, possibly, Rook finds out that he has been the muse of a certain someone, if u cant or dont want to write thats ok too, drinks lots of water btw xoxo

--ur best bud ¬u¬

Ehehehe KrisRook content my beloved òwó I got u covered bro (btw sorry i wrote Kris name wrong on the other post, i forgro to change it, i'll do it after i post this teehee)

Rook Hunt x Kristoffer Hartdagger - aMUSEing

Normally the Arts and Crafts club is a silent place, with only some ambient songs from the club's collab playlist as a company to the artists all in their zone. Today started no different, the club president presenting them today with a simple mindless doodle session before them getting into the more ellaborate club activities. Kris stayed very much in his zone as always, being the softspoken and shy boy he is. on his normal seat, with a sketchbook and some colored lead eraseable pencils, he doodled. Except everyone around noticed how he would sigh and stare at his doodles. The truth is, for a while Hartdagger had been in love. He just never opened up with anyone but his bestfriend Moira about it. "Ah~Monsieur Spotted, I see you're on art duties. Beuté!" "AHHH!" Kris was close to throwing the sketchbook up in the air in fear from the oh so common voice he grew to love. Rook Hunt seemed to be observind the club... again. "ROOK! GO AWAY! SHOO SHOO!" The club leader tried shooing the man away, but to no avail. he made his seat next to Kris, looking politely at the club president. "Ah, monsieur artiste, I can guarantee I will behave according club rules during my stay, you have not to worry!" "I-I... Sir, I can keep an eye on him... I-if you want it, that is,, i'm not forcing it in aniway i'm sorry if i seem like-" "Keep him from touching anything and it's all good Kris, if he gives you trouble i'll just call the headmage." "Right. Okay. sorry..." during the small conversation, Kris failed to observe Rook's head getting closer and closer to his space, until he could quite literally feel the brim of his hat touch his forehead. "My, my... I knew you liked to draw people, Monsieur Spotted, but never thought i would be a form of inspiration for you. Such magnificence, so much attention to the details." "Eep! You were... you... were staring at my doodles?!" Kris hugged the book to his chest "don't mind it! really!" "Why, it is a beautiful! If you ever are in need of a muse, I will be happy to provide! La chasseur d'amour will always provide the inspirations to seek the beauty in all!" While others only groaned, Kriss mumbled something under his breath. It seemed almost unaudible, but to a pair of trained hunter's ears, it was as clear as day: "you already are my muse" Rook kept his composure, but of course, the hunter had the affirmation of the prey, and now he is ready to get it for himself. "Perhaps you would enjoy a posing session later on Pomefiore?" Kris stared at Rook, face already flushes since the moment Rook invaded the boy's personal space, but he didn't have in him to deny, so he slowly nodded. Rook was going to say something, when he heard the common call of Vil for his Vice Housewarden's aid. Rook smiled sweetly before stooding up "It seems Roi du Poison is in need of my hunting skills, but fret not, for I'll come back at when the meeting ends! Trés Bien!" As soon as Rook left, and everyoned seemed more at ease, the president went to Kris "Hey... Thanks for the help but..." "Yes, sir?" "Do you know how does he know when the meetings end when we have it end in different times each day?" Rook Hunt things, were all everyone could assume.

Hope u like it! I never wrote Rook and I saw almost nothing of him yet so I'm getting used to him still!

Character Cuddle Scale

I remember making a post about this in the past but I think Tumblr ate it, so I'm happy to do it again! Thank you @writernopal for the tag!

How-to: Rate your OCs based on how they handle cuddling/being cuddled.

Featuring the main cast of Agent Ace, plus a few supporting characters because more the merrier! Going down the list in order of most pleasant to least pleasant.

Jade - 10/10

Cuddling is her ultimate love language. If you're friends with her, she'll hold you tight and close at any opportunity, especially if you're feeling sad, but she lets you decide when to let go. She's firm but gentle and warm, and is the type of person to hug you out of excitement or casually rest her head on your shoulder. Plus her shampoo smells like coconut, which makes the snuggle experience that much more lovely!

Jet - 9/10

He'll try to convince you that he's a tough guy, but he's got an ooey-gooey center that he's terrible at hiding. He's extremely protective of the people he loves and, even though he'll claim that you're the one who looked like you needed a cuddle, he not so secretly loves every minute of it. Loses a point for his penchant for aggressively affectionate noogies and shoulder punches, but how can you be mad at the guy who literally falls asleep with you in his arms?

Harley - 8/10

She's too shy to make the first move, but she loves being held (she's a little spoon), and does her best to match the strength of the hug she's receiving. A chronic people-pleaser, but also genuinely happy to take part. Most of the time she'll be down to cuddle, and will probably offer to build a pillow fort so you can have a comfortable space to share together. And if you're not a fan of silence, she'll chat with you for hours!

Janus - 7/10

If he doesn't trust you (and he only trusts himself), you're not getting close to him. But if you're one of the few people he opens up to, then he's surprisingly comfy. He's strong and touch-starved, which is a great combo when it comes to cuddling. That being said, there are only like, two people who have ever gotten to that point with him, so good luck getting anything out of him. Thanks to past trauma, he no longer yearns for anyone's love or validation.

Max - 5/10

Not really a hugger in general (and very awkward about it), but he tries for his friends and family because he wants to make them happy. He probably wouldn't ever cuddle, but appreciates that you're thinking about him and would love to hang out! :)

Sophia - 4/10

She has a strong aversion to being touched and rarely tolerates physical contact from anyone, especially if she's not close to them. Ahren is the only person she would ever want to cuddle with, but even then it's not normally a priority for them. Most of the time they're perfectly content simply having one another's company.

Ahren - 3/10

If you're not Sophia, he won't consider it. He'll still hug you hello or goodbye, tho, and he's cool with fist bumps if you're into that.

August - 2/10

Also touch-starved, so he's good in theory, except for two crucial facts. One, he's not used to physical affection and would have no idea how to react if you tried to cuddle him. And two, he cannot. Sit. Still. He'd squirm and shift around constantly, probably elbowing you in uncomfortable places while apologizing profusely. The man's just trying his best, what more do you want from him?

Bellona - 0/10

She'll bite you. Try it at your own risk.

Tagging @talesofsorrowandofruin, @sam-glade, @clairelsonao3, @starsoughtfrost, @halfbit, and anyone else who wants to join the fun! No obligation, of course :)

[dragonridernoobie]

Hi. Are the requests still open? I know I asked before but you didn't answer I guess my ask was under a ton of other asks but that doesn't matter I wanna change the previous one lol.

So my OC minet (you can find out about her in my profile master post). X Idol dust. First time meeting each other. (I'm a minor sooo just platonic)

Hi, I always answer requests or questions, but if I never did yours, then my apologies! My request are always open. I've also looked up Idol dust but I apologize that I can't do him and only normal dust, because of the fact that I can't really find any 'headcannons' of him but I know he looks diffrent then normal dust. Here is you're OC x Dust

Request are still open!!!!

Dust <-

Minet <-

How Minet and dust meet for the first time.

Minet likes her own personal space and is very shy.

She is a unique skeleton, and has a liquid covering her face but it protects her from attacks!

She loves being around error Sans

When minet met dust, It was an accident.

Dust made nightmare sans mad and he thru him in a portal.

That is how he met minet.

He was confused when he saw the world he was in but he saw somone off in the distance.

He thought it was error from the books and crochet things around.

To his surprised he found minet, who was surprised to find him!

He tried to talk to her but minet didn't respond.

So dust just sat right next to her.

Dust sits right next to minet and looks at her.

"Soooo....what's you're name?"

Dust asked but minet just shyly looks away trying to focus on what ever she was doing, but clearly can see she has her guard up. Dust just sighs and looks around.

"Say, that's some interesting crocheting, I know error dose them to but never like this."

Dust says while he looks at the crochet wolf. He also noticed how minet perked up at errors name.

"Hey, listen, I don't know you and you don't know me, so why don't we interduce ourselves? Just names nothing else. Hi, my name is dust, youres?"

".......minet."

Dust noticed how she didn't take his hand and sees that she leans away.

"Ah, don't like being touched like error, ok noticed."

Dust and minet sit in silence in each other's presence, not talking or nothing. Intel minet slids him one of her many books.

"....do...do you want to read together?"

"Sure."

So minet and dust start to read together in comfortable silence. After a few hours, error comes thru a rip and sees dust and minet.

"I see I found ya. Common, nightmare wants ya back."

"By minet, hope we meet again."

All minet did was nod but was seen with a small smile. She might have made a new friend.

I've tried to go by youre OC as much as possible, I hope you enjoyed!!!!!

Minet

[fair-fae]

My OC was in a polyamorous relationship with two people and as of late the person who plays one of the characters in the relationship (also my friend) has fallen out from the relationship altogether which means we're no longer shipping our characters together and haven't been for a long time now. This person while supporting my content and still very much my friend, has gone out of their way to avoid content I have with this other person where my OC is still in a relationship with them. It's not a fun feeling and I'm sensing some jealousy and pettiness there. I've also been trying to be understanding and patient. However, it should also be noted that this person was fine with my OC and the other person's OC's being involved when it was the three of them. Suddenly it's a problem to act some sort of way over?

No conversations have been had about this as I feel like if this friend had an issue with it they should be open and honest with me, not slighting me behind the scenes. I'm somewhat of an observer and can't help but notice this. I fully understand that open relationships/poly stuff is difficult to RP but when we were all interacting it was very open, with no issues, we all communicated and everyone seemed happy. Suddenly it's not. There is something residual there. Since their character has split off (their choice to do so), I'm getting a very heavy avoidance feeling over here and I'm not sure how to react. I feel bad for posting my content because I don't want to make them /feel/ a certain way but I'm also stuck in the mindset that this is my content and I'll enjoy it and those who don't can mess off. It's been putting a damper on sharing creative works such as art forms or writing because I don't want to be insensitive but I also don't want someone's unspoken, residual feelings (whatever they might be) to impact me and stifle my sway. What are your thoughts on this and have you ever experienced something like this yourself?

I apologize for the novel but I figured the one person I could trust on this platform to give advice or have an actual, impactful discussion about how I'm feeling even while on Anon, would be you.

Thanks!💕

Hiya, Anon! You have nothing to apologize for! I'm sorry you're going through all that. I tend to shy away from role-playing polyamorous relationships unless it's the same person playing multiple characters, so I can only offer more of an outside perspective. I don't know your friend's reason for leaving the IC relationship, or if it was something they were being honest with you about to begin with, but it sounds like maybe your friend feels like they are missing out on the RP now even if it was their choice initially to drop it, or maybe feeling insecure that your friendship with them will mean less without the RP relationship component? It may be difficult for them to see you continue happily RPing with someone else and feel like they are missing out. Maybe they have come to regret their decision afterward, or maybe these feelings have been festering for a while and are part of what led them to withdraw their character from the relationship to begin with? In polyamorous or open relationships in RP, I think it's very easy for someone to start feeling like a third wheel or the "least favorite." Either way, I agree that your friend should have been open and honest with you about their feelings, and it's a shame they don't seem to be doing that. Regardless, you keep doing you! Don't let anyone else get you down about posting the content you want to post in your own spaces. You shouldn't have to hide your OC and their relationship with someone, no matter how anyone else is feeling about it. From my perspective, your two best options are either to keep going about your business as normal and ignore this person's attitude until they either eventually get over whatever is upsetting them or talk to you about it, or approaching them directly to ask what is bothering them and why they are no longer interacting with any content involving your OC and their remaining partner.

❝​🇲​​🇺​​🇳​ ​🇮​​🇳​​🇹​​🇷​​🇴​❝

Hello, hello! 👋 I am Achilles (they/he), i'm in my mid 20s and i've been role-playing and doing creative writing since 2016. I'm a full time student + freelancer and I have a passion for all things creative and complicated characters. I'm semi-selective in the sense that I probably won't engage with one-sentence replies or anyone under 20—otherwise i'm pretty laid back and am open to rp with anyone!

❝​🇦​​🇨​​🇹​​🇮​​🇻​​🇮​​🇹​​🇾​❝

This will be a low activity blog as i'm a full time student doing a very intensive course that requires most of my time and energy. I'll most likely be more active on the weekends but I do have other irl commitments that eat up some of that time as well. All I ask for is mutual patience and respect, I will never ghost a thread so if I haven't replied that does not mean anything other than I haven't had the time and I will get to it as soon as I am able. I also have other commitments and time zones may make me miss things, if we're mutuals feel free to send me anything you really want me to see and are afraid I missed, I don't have hours to spend scrolling through my dash and everyones blogs; I wish I did.

❝​🇬​​🇴​​🇩​​🇲​​🇴​​🇩​​🇩​​🇮​​🇳​​🇬​❝

None of this please, we can communicate and plot out fights and any situation that may come to pass. Never take full control of my muse or write any of their dialogue, you may move them a small bit if your muse interacts with them and physically moves them but that's it. We can discuss this more as needed.

❝​🇲​​🇪​​🇲​​🇪​​🇸​ & ​🇦​​🇸​​🇰​​🇸​❝

Never going to turn down a meme or an ask! They're great ways to do some character/relationship development and start a thread so feel free to send as many as you like! I may not get to them straight away due to my schedule but I will answer any I get when I can! I've also seen it's common place to transfer a reply to a new post if starting a thread from an ask so I will do this if you do the same.

❝​🇫​​🇴​​🇷​​🇲​​🇦​​🇹​​🇹​​🇮​​🇳​​🇬​❝

I will typically only do formatting for ooc posts like these, like the sub-headings seen here, in actual threads the most formatting I will do is italics and bolding for emphasis. For ooc posts I also tend to use a mix of text sizes, e.g. large title and sub heading with small body text; for threads I will use the normal auto text size for ease of reading (unless my partner uses a small text, as such I will then match this). I have icons I use for memes and such but for threads I will most likely stick to just text, if I make a starter it will have them to make it clear what muse it's for but all replies after will not have them.

❝​🇮​​🇳​​🇹​​🇪​​🇷​​🇦​​🇨​​🇹​​🇮​​🇴​​🇳​❝

Like I said I am (loosely) semi-selective, I am happy to role-play with Canon or OC muses and fandomless OC's! I have OC muses I don't mind putting in an original setting. You don't have to follow me to start a thread with me, but if you do follow me I'll read your rules/guidelines and I may follow you back if we continue writing together. (I don't 'follow for follow', if we vibe and I jive with your rules I'll most likely follow back!)

❝​🇸​​🇹​​🇾​​🇱​​🇪​❝

I prefer to write medium to long replies (minimum 3 paragraphs) in third person and I mostly use past tense, but if my partner writes in present tense I will do so as well. I don't work well with one line replies as my brain simply can't figure out how to move the characters and plot with so little to work with, if you write with me please at least give me one paragraph and some dialogue to work with.

❝​🇵​​🇱​​🇴​​🇹​​🇹​​🇮​​🇳​​🇬​❝

I love plotting in general, i'm a better story planner than I am a writer most times. I love throwing ideas back and forth, I can be a bit shy and reserved the first few times we talk but over time I'll get more comfortable and I'll toss out my more outlandish ideas more confidently. So if you can stick it out we can get into the real meat of these crazy story ideas together and have a lot of fun I hope! I also like to come up with a possible plot with some groundwork/backstory, post it and continue further plotting with whoever's interested in what they saw.

As shown on the tin, this blog will deal with some heavy and dark themes, all will be tagged appropriately and if you need anything else tagged please just send me a dm or ask and I'll be more than happy to oblige in most cases. All trigger tags will be simple, '#blood tw', '#arachnophobia tw', etc. to ensure for ease of blocking. Please keep in mind this blog will have; toxic relationship dynamics(platonic, familial and romantic), religious/blasphemous themes, depictions of cults, graphic depictions of violence, gore and other related topics.

❝​🇸​​🇭​​🇮​​🇵​​🇵​​🇮​​🇳​​🇬​❝

I am very shipping positive, I love when characters grow and change together and either make each other better or so much worse. This will not be a shipping-centric blog, I do love character dynamics and exploring those relationships in all forms but I do enjoy a complex plot outside of any romantic relationship. That said I am so down for any type of ship; romantic, queerplatonic, mono/poly/open, situationships/fwb, etcetera etcetera! I won't know my comfort level with smut role-play until we talk but I'd prefer to avoid it until we've threaded together for a while, a good fade to black can never go wrong.

❝​🇨​​🇴​​🇳​​🇹​​🇦​​🇨​​🇹​❝

My personal preference is to communicate through tumblr dm's, but if it is a deal breaker, then I can also be reached through Discord, which you can ask for through tumblr dm's. I am happy to discuss plotting/ideas, threads, headcannons, our muses and their relationships and anything to do with role-play—if we've just started threading I am less likely to want to discuss things unrelated to role-play. On top of that I will gently and kindly ask you do not vent to me about irl or rpc matters that do not involve me.

❝​🇦​​🇩​​🇩​​🇮​​🇹​​🇮​​🇴​​🇳​​🇦​​🇱​ ​🇮​​🇳​​🇫​​🇴​❝

PLATFORM: I am mainly a mobile user, one of the rare people who predominantly use the app for some ungodly reason. I will however reply to threads either through the mobile browser or desktop to ensure I can trim threads and follow other rpc etiquette appropriately. Anything ooc or otherwise will be done through the app aka in a more timely fashion.

CROSSOVERS & AU'S: I'm open to crossovers but I am very picky about them, my brain needs the two media's to mix sem-realistically for me to enjoy it. I love a good Supernatural/Far Cry 5 or Supernatural/Outlast crossover for example. AU's are another story and I am open for any and all of them, they're completely disconnected from my Canon and therefore we can go hog wild with them.

TOPICS: While I deal with dark subjects there are certain topics I will not engage with and these can be found through my browser/desktop guidelines. It's the typical stuff but feel free to talk to me for further clarification if you're unsure.

MUSES ≠ MUN: I am not my muses and my muses are not me; whatever my muses say or do does not reflect my thoughts, opinions or feelings in any way. Any relationship I play with them does not indicate what I condone irl especially in relation to my dark/villain muses. I am perfectly happy to interact with self-insert muses as long as you remain respectful and do not become parasocial or rely on me playing my muse for validation or mental/emotional support!

DISCOURSE: I do not tolerate call-out culture or online/tumblr drama, if you engage heavily with these things I will most likely unfollow for my own comfort/sanity. 110% of tumblr drama can be solved through mature, private conversations and the block button.

COMMUNICATION: If there is anything happening in our thread you're not happy with you are encouraged to send me an ooc message about it so we can steer it back in a direction we're both happy with! I will always communicate any issue with you should they arise so I ask you do the same in return, we're adults engaging in a fun hobby together and this should be a fun, safe space for both of us and i'm willing to put the effort in for that if you are.

BLOCKING: I'm not the type of person to block you for a million and one things and if we're writing partners I'll talk out issues before I jump to blocking or cutting contact. If you're disrespectful, try to engage me in topics i've said i'm not comfortable with or are overly rude/negative towards me or my muses than I may block you but that's about it. I don't care about how much or how little you interact as I've said, so you don't have to worry about me blocking you if you're not online/active for a while.

FUN: We're all here to enjoy this neat little hobby that sparks joy, as soon as a thread with me or anything like that is not sparking joy for you, you can say so and we can drop it; i'm not very likely to get upset about it. I'm here to play dolls with fictional characters and possibly make friends, stick around or just pass through, whatever works for you; let's just have a good time and be a positive experience. ♡

Writing Directory and Info!

Welcome to my writeblr!

My name is Fayte, and he or she pronouns are both fine.  My biggest writing projects are fantasy with elements of drama, romance, and horror, interwoven with found family, enemies to friends, a journey to the underworld, coming of age (adult), an unseen and blazing angel, grieving, the bond between siblings, and some monsters.  For Tumblr, I have a selection of hero/villain content available (including two longer-form stories) and a smattering of other short, original fiction.  There’s also some vampires and a handful of prompts to be seen.

My own writing is tagged as "Fayte writes". I use content warnings somewhat generously, and if I ever feel something is especially detailed/descriptive, it will be listed as a trigger warning.  I am ask and tag game friendly, even when I’m really slow answering them.  Asks are under the tag "can I ax you something?"  I’m trying to get back into drawing, so feel free to ask me about that, too.

[calico-strawberry]

Having troubles sleeping rn so I guess I'm gonna ramble more about my oc x canon shenanigans that will not Stop. This time mostly focusing on Erin's perception of Anya and how her feelings for her end up developing. This is a very long post I have many thoughts

Their first proper meeting in Darchlight caves was honestly a good impression on Erin. She was very quiet, not really saying more then necessary, and this girl also evidently new Aelita too. Erin didn't sense any hostility from her or anything, and in fact, when Anya seemingly got enough confidence to actually speak to her some point before the Bladestar grunts started actually flooding in, she was actually very nice to her.

Basically her first impression of Anya is, she's smarter then she looks, is very encouraging (she was giving compliments to Erin's battling as they pushed through the grunts), and was very strong. Although very quiet and shy, and she noticed she didn't seem to be giving herself much credit.

Now in game the early GDC arc really kinda moves really really quickly compared to early portions of the game, but since there's not a solid track on what month it is or exact dates until Chapter 15 starting out with November, I'm gonna say this early GDC arc up to Venam's unfortunate rock related incident is about a week or two in this version of events.

And well, since Erin kinda is locked out of the Theater until Aelita comes back after said mineral related incident, she frustratingly to herself has to stay at the apartment everyone was staying in for that period of time. During this in between her attempts to find Aelita, she actually had some opportunities to hang out with Anya as she was kinda doing her own thing in between stuff like the two's meeting with Cassandra and other things like that.

Basically throughout this time she kinda learns more about Anya in general. Kinda realizing she's selectively mute (noticing she's fairly talkative with the gang, even of she's still one of the more reserved of the group, primarily), noticing she seemed to like reading as well and seems to have taken an interest in drawing. Stuff like that. She ends up spending time around Anya simply because she was the quietest of the bunch and Erin didn't really mind her company surprising to herself. Anya herself getting comfortable with Erin too, and being rather friendly.

Of course though, Erin gets frustrated with her inability to find Aelita and decides to just storm back to the theater coincidentally after Anya had reunited with Aelita in the nightmare city and had gotten to the Theater themselves. Basically everything past this point is relatively the same as canon for a while, as everyone's focus shifts to Aelita's whole deal. The most notable thing is this around this point is the first time Erin learns Anya has nightmares (I think I'd place this during that night in past Sheridan, after that meeting they had with Cella. I'd say it'd fit better post alternate timeline arc, but I actually don't remember if the group leaves immediately after Vivian's deal or if they stay one more night after that). But anyways, Erin hadn't gotten to sleep yet but the other two had, and Anya getting woken up by her nightmare wasn't startling enough to wake anyone up. Erin checks on her, unintentionally startling Anya more, but after a very hushed whispers confirming Anya had a nightmare, actually offers that the two take a short walk outside to clear her head. Erin, frankly, isn't sure why she felt the need to take the time to comfort Anya, but she rolls with it. The conversation is frankly nothing special, just the two talking back and forth about random subjects until Anya feels calm enough to go back to sleep. This is the point though, where Erin starts to solidify that she cares about Anya though.

The rest of the story plays out as normal, only that Erin is slightly less abrasive/sassy to Anya (I do mean only slightly here, I mean Anya does manage to get kicked out of the library like mere minutes of being there even if she didn't do anything). But when Anya and Erin see each other again at the tournament hall, just before she's about to leave to go to the party with Melia, Anya gives her a brief hug and a cheerful "I'll see ya later!" Before she does and, even if for a moment Erin feels a slight warmth in her face. She gets distracted immediately though, and doesn't think too hard on it.

Of course, fireworks happen and Anya is in a state for sure, she's extremely worried about Erin especially hearing that she's completely unaccounted for from the explosion. I mentioned this before in a previous post, but when Anya sees Erin at the end of Chapter 14 she basically tackles Erin because she's just so relieved to see her alive, and Erin is immediately caught off guard by the incredibly sincere worry and joy Anya exuded from seeing her again. Again, she gets distracted by the plot and doesn't think too heavily on this. Only thing of note for the remainder of chapter 14 is Erin subconsciously puts herself between Anya and Dr. Isha when she notices how visibly uncomfortable Anya is on what that guy was saying about her.

Chapter 15 is when she suddenly has a lot more time to think on her feelings on Anya. The training is as normal as canon is. Although, thanks to Melia's comments on trusting Anya, and Erin's own developing feelings, she feels inclined go trust Anya very fast when more about her nature as the Interceptor is revealed during that month. This period also happens to be when Anya is getting her more frequent nightmares and again as mentioned in a previous post, is when Erin takes more time actually comfort her from these. By the end of the training month Erin has fully realized "oh shit" that she has full blown romantic feelings for this girl.

As Anya and Aelita are the first to leave for their mission, Anya very much makes sure to give Erin a hug before leaving which really does not help Erin's emotions here. Of course by this point everything that happens during this chapter happens as normal. Again though, when everyone is brought together again at the end, Anya again seems to be very joyful at seeing her Specifically, which yet again makes Erin feel Things. Again plot happens, can't really think on it much. Anya somehow managed to feel both relieved and more burdened then ever at the same time with everything she learned about herself during that chapter, and as of right now that's where it gets left off.

I do think they'd end up together probably not long after this, as Anya reciprocates Erin's feelings, even if Anya doesn't really have the experience to label those feelings she has. Basically everything is messy, neither of the two know if the both of them are going to see the end of this journey together, but by Arcues do they have each other.

SCP Scenarios: SCP x Fem!Child!Hybrid!Reader

Main Masterlist | SCP Scenarios Masterlist | My Works Masterlist | Rules | Request | Socials | My Original Post

Requested by: @nightfoxyycats

I'm so sorry this took longer than expected T_T

(Yes Ik it's longer than the others I do, and that's cuz I usually end up mixing the headcanons into drabbles/one-shots, but this time, I kept it as bullet points and I got carried away. Oops. And yes, it's easier to write headcanons this way but it'll end up being long af)

When Cain first met you, he overheard and was curious about this new SCP during a test, so he decided to come and watch, from afar of course.

When Cain first met you, he overheard and was curious about this new SCP during a test, so he decided to come and watch, from afar of course.

Anyways, the little test was just a plain and boring one and little (Y/N) was taken back to her containment cell after 10 minutes. Cain had requested to see you as he remembered seeing in your file that you can breathe fire and cry lava among other things due to your dragon abilities.

It's not like he didn't believe them since he's been in the foundation for many years, but he was just curious about a hybrid child like you and wanted to see if you were doing well. You being a shy child was quiet at first and when Cain went to visit you every so often, you both became close and he was a father figure to you, even though you were abandoned by your father since birth and your mother died not long later.

He took good care of you and made sure you were well fed. You were rather polite to the guards and staff so Cain wouldn't need to worry too much about you intentionally killing them. But only for a short period of time as who knows what you'll be like when you're older.

Luckily for Cain, you were also carnivorous, so he didn't have to worry about you eating your 5 a day (not that you wanted to anyways you ungrateful meat-eating child).

Whenever there's a containment breach, the first thing he does is to look for you

Aside from some side effects, he isn't worried too much as he wouldn't receive any wounds anyways so hell just charge towards anyone who looks/sound like you

He's basically your new dad ok?

SCP 076 (Abel)

Abel first came into contact with you during a containment breach

He just saw you casually flying around and occasionally lending the guards a hand by breathing fire just to burn some holes for easier access (how professional)

He saw you again moments later when you were alone and you decided to approach this hulk of a man to ask for some help, thinking he worked there. Abel had abandoned you (like your hopes and dreams left you a millennium years ago) but you insisted on going with him so he took you in

Later his rage in the facility had vanished as he had cared for you for the short period of time he had met you and handed you over to the guards, much to their surprise

He then ran away as he's not totally scared of kids or anything and hid in his box

You insisted on visiting 076-2 and so the researchers did, realising much later that you both had bonded. Abel was a parental figure to you.

A very overbearing protective guardian I must say.

Even more so when there's a containment breach

Like imagine 610 and 682 mashed up together to form an extremely hostile entity and that's Abel for you

But that's only if you were hurt, if you weren't or fit was just a normal containment breach, had be extremely worried

SCP 049 (Plague Doctor) (Guy's pls don't be mistaken, I don't have any beef with 049 ok? XD If I make any characters a little OC then 049 will gladly rid the pestilence from you without consent)

This sassy MF so-called doctor right here met you when for some reason, the doctors had decided to put you both into a testing room (no, it wasn't Bright's idea).

049 was just doing his thing as you just sat on a really high chair (cuz you do be short so ofc you wouldn't be sitting on a lower chair which is lower than your taste in men/women) and watched curiously. The doctor thought it was somewhat cute and laughed slightly from your curiosity.

Sensing that you didn't have the pestilence, he allowed you to scooch closer just to see. After the test was done, the guards took you back out with slight aggression, but you, for some reason, were still polite to the guards despite their aggression which made 049's heart swell due to your pureness.

You yawned slightly and accidentally blew out fire from your mouth which almost caused a containment breach if it weren't for 049's quick thinking

Later on, the researchers had decided to put you both in the testing room again, and you both began to bond as 049 requested you to burn the bodies he performed surgery on

Needless to say, you both had a great time and the researchers were mildly amused

If you somehow knew another friend (*ahem* 035), he'd probs ask him/her to care/loof for you if there were a containment breach

Or he would just sigh and look after you himself if you were closer to 035 and he asked so nicely

SCP 035 (Possessive Mask) (Right about 049 being sassy.... I'll take that back, 035 is the sassiest, right next to a certain sculpture in the foundation)

Anyhow, 035 was actually the reason you were stuck in the foundation anyways

God knows how, but you met this guy wearing this theatre mask and you ended up here in the foundation

Now everyone thought you were either a Keter or Euclid

I mean, you were so close to being put into the Euclid class but ended up in safe since you were so polite to the researchers as well as shy and relatively easy to contain... For now

Whenever they used you in a test, you were rewarded with whatever you wanted, within reason ofc, whenever you behaved well which was like 98% of the time minus minor accidents since you weren't entirely in control of your powers

Sometimes instead of a reward, you'd request to see 035 as he would perform to you and that was only granted when its safe to do so and when that hideous mask would do as he/she/it is told

035 would be that somewhat overprotective yet goofy uncle that everyone loved and he was totally wrapped around your fingers unless you were hurt or if he urgently needed something or someone

If there was a containment breach, he'd look for you, if not he'll call out his 'friend' to look out for you (*cough* 049 *cough*)

When 035 finds you, he'd most likely ask you to fly around to see the nearest exit or he'd just carry you when there's someone chasing you

If 035 were to kill anyone, you'd cry and tell him no to which did end up in burning the floor but oh wells, they're rich enough to contain him so why not use the extra money to rebuild the floor right?

Anyways, 035 loves you no matter what and he'd do anything to make sure you're doing well

SCP 999 (Tickle Monster)

Ok so, when you and 999 first met each other, you were kind of just wandering around the facility minding your own business

999 just casually slithered up to your leg and offered you some sweets and a hug since you looked upset and so you accepted it

You both found a place to sit and just talk bout stuff and what life was like before you were captured

But you were cheery just like 999 and rarely attacked anyone, and if you ever did, it was either that you were hella pissed or you accidentally breathed fire/teared up some lava which burnt some stuff

The researchers would secretly take in some notes bout your interactions and just continued on with their day and left you both alone, but would sometimes keep a stern eye on you

They say it's for everyone's safety, and that's true to an extent, but the main reason they do it is to monitor your progress of you controlling your powers

Anyways, sometimes when it gets busy in the cafe or down the hallway, you just fly across the room, and sometimes, you'll be extra cheeky and play hide and seek with the researchers

999 would occasionally join in but he's more like a worried older brother to you

During containment breaches, 999 would run around looking for you and when he did, he would check if you had any injuries

When you say you didn't, he was relieved but not for long since you mentioned bout making new SCP friends and he just died right there and then (not really)

SCP 682 (Hard to Destroy Reptile)

Similarly to Able, he'd be wary of you at first

Like, he can sense that you weren't just an ordinary child when you just appeared behind him

He was somewhat irritated when you followed him around, but you reminded him of 053, so he just let it slide and let you show some affection towards him

It's not like he didn't like it, he was just embarrassed

Anyhow, the researchers wanted to test how 682 would bond with you, so they made you meet up with him again but in his cell

You were both chatting like father and daughter and soon, everyone had found out that not only could you fly, you could also cry lava, which yes did burn a small hole on the ground and you could somehow breathe fire

You were also immune to the fire and lava so they decided to have a full-on body check and discovered that you were built similar to the komodo dragon with a side of 682 (XD Don't ask)

682 was left stunned, but luckily he didn't feel the need to run up the wall like that bunny

Like who tf invented a self-eating bunny?

Anyways, research shows that just like Abel, the giant lizard was very protective of you

The theory has it that you were somehow related to the lizard, perhaps he laid an egg before containment and some guy took it in and froze it then decided to hatch the egg

During containment breaches, he would basically rampage around the facility, killing anyone and everyone until he found you

And when he did, he would check on you like the amazing father he is and then carry on killing but was then stopped by you

So he would just carry you around until you fell asleep

SCP 105 (Iris)

I think Iris would be a good mother/sister figure when it comes to kids

It kinda came from the fact that Iris hangs out with Abel and Cain a lot, so it kinda just rubs off her

Her motherly/sisterly instinct just heightened when she first found you on a mission and she just took you in

It took a while to bribe the foundation that she kinda had custody

Not exactly custody, but she had a say when it came to your safety, especially the fact that you weren't exactly human and your appearance would cause a disturbance to others

I feel like Iris would be a stern yet kind guardian towards you, leaning towards the stern part since you're a child SCP and has fire breath and lava tears

Iris wouldn't be entirely bothered by you flying around, but she had to bribe the researchers and some SCPs to help you fly better

She would murder anyone who had to cry because they made you cry and cleaning up after your tears is such a mess considering that you have little control over them

Your fire breath on the other hand is slightly more controllable, but if you were hella happy or mad you'd breathe the fire and burn anyone/anything

Most of the time, its unintentional and you're usually sweet and kind towards anyone, so manners aren't a big thing for Iris to teach you

She'd even teach you some of the stuff she learnt/discovered and you'd just sit there being nosy and curious about everything

Like that one time, you almost caused a breach cus you were so curious and friendly that 682 was about to snap off your head and rampage out of the foundation

And don't even get me started with the brothers and 096, OML

Other than that, you both were like a family you never had :,) (You're welcome!!!)

During containment breaches, Iris would literally pick you up and run

Unless you weren't with her for whatever reason (Yes, you're attached to each other's hips... Don't lie, you love it!), she'd do anything to find you

If you were hurt, shed tend to your injuries immediately and lecture you about safety

If you weren't hurt, shed still give you a lecture, then pick you up and run

If you made friends on the way, she may or may not approve and bite of anyone head

And the foundation wouldn't want an Angry!Iris around

SCP 106 (Old Man)

This old man here is basically the definition of a cool uncle/granddad

Without a doubt, he'd go into his pocket dimension and comes back with a teddy bear or some sweets

He'd spoil you a lot and the foundation had enough of this cuz by the time you become an adult, you wouldn't be independent enough

Anyways, 106 would let you go into his dimension and practice your abilities there for the safety of others

The researchers would occasionally ask you to carry a camera with you just so they know what it's like in his pocket dimension

106 rarely gets mad, and even if he was, it'll be about someone trying to hurt you since you're too kind and shy to make him mad

You're even kind to the researchers and guards which is worrying to 106 as they might take advantage of your kindness (which may be true for some, but most of them are just glad you're kind since it makes their jobs so much easier)

Sometimes, you'd make things levitate which was a shock to anyone who walked by and witnessed this

But only for a few seconds though, so it's not much

106 would encourage you to use your telekineses and he'd attempt to train you

Which didn't work so well, so that sucks

During containment breaches, he'd use his pocket dimension to his advantage

He'd hide you in there just so you don't have to get hurt

If you weren't there with him, he'd kill and hunt down anyone who might know where you are

He'd make sure you weren't hurt otherwise he would go into scary uncle mode

If you weren't hurt, he would just hug you which stops you from crying lava

SCP 096 (Shy Guy)

Now what makes you and 096 a unique pairing is that you're both shy

The only difference is that you can speak but 096 kinda doesn't

But that's not a problem since you both just understood each other since day 1

I'd say 096 is that introverted uncle/cousin but he's kinda chill and sweet with you

As for containment breaches, the only difference with this tall guy is that not only will he kill anyone who sees his face, he'd also hunt down anyone who'd hurt you

096 has a newfound ability for this and the researchers were shocked when they first found out

A certain chainsaw loving doctor wanted to test it out himself but was stopped rather quickly by the other researchers

Anyways, one time you almost burnt down the foundation because 096 crept up behind you which scared you to tears

And you screamed as well which didn't help at all since you could breathe fire

Also, when you're not with 096, you'd use your levitating powers to grab lighter objects which did result in the objects falling onto your head

And this is why you need to train more, so then objects wouldn't be yeeted onto your tiny head and knock the nonexistent brain cells out of your nonexistent brain - Sorry not sorry (Ok so at least pretend to laugh)

If anyone bullied you and you didn't say a word, 096 would know and even if you tried to stop him, it wouldn't work

Unless you're in a life-threatening situation, but even then, he'd kill the guy

Dr. Simon Glass

Unlike the others on the list, you're the one who approached the doctor

Mainly because you were lost, but you were curious as well

Simon would probably be the best person to run into, other than Kondraki, but still

It's because he's a psychologist and still very much human (I mean, Kondraki's a normal human I guess, but he has those butterfly thingys)

Anyways, when he first saw you, you were in his office flying about and crying lava

Simon saw you and was shocked but attempted to calm you down and get you you sit with him for a bit, then call the others

But boy did that not work out, because this poor innocent boi was boutta get killed by your firey breath cuz he startled you too much

Bright, Kondraki and Clef just strolled in and saw the mess and even attempted to get you to chill, but this didn't work either

So poor Simon Glass had to find his way to get you to stop being so scared which obviously worked

You sat down with him and he let you doodle on a blank piece of paper

And being a good psychologist he is, he used psychological methods to get you to feel comfortable and to start talking to which you did

You were so polite he gave it to a chocolate bar, but instead of taking it off his hands, you used your telekineses to levitate it in your direction

Simon recorded what he had seen before letting the other researchers take you and offered to take you under his wing on the condition that you were you have a check-up every now and again

That wasn't much of a problem since you were so polite and chill - Usually

During containment breaches, he would make sure that you were safe first and it wasn't so difficult to deal with you since you were with him most of the time

When you're not with him, he'd be extremely worried like a mother hen and run in any direction that would take him to you

He'd be relieved to see you and if you were hurt, he'd bandage you up and try to not cry

If you've made new friends, he would be very happy about it - Unless it's a Keter or Euclid class

They'll be on his watchlist

Anyhow, Simon Glass is basically your mother and mentor

He'd teach you all the basics you'll need and help train you if he can (he'd most likely have to ask the other doctors and SCPs with some bribery)

Dr. Jack Bright

Our favourite doctor here would be that goofy uncle/dad

I feel that he'd sympathise with you since he's also an SCP (sorta) and he feels kind of trapped in the foundation

If you're lucky enough, Jack might be able to take you out for an hour for some fresh air

You'll automatically be under his wing and nobody will ever question it. Ever.

Although he may be goofy and does stupid things, he would be surprisingly protective and his fatherly instincts kick in right away since he first met you

He would allow you to use your powers to an extent and teach you how to use your power properly

You are well aware of his anomalous abilities with his neckless, so whenever Bright had to change bodies, you'd automatically know where he is (other than the obvious neckless thingy)

If there were to have a containment breach, Bright would panic but quickly become calm as that's the only way he could find you and keep you safe

When he finds you he would give you that lecture while finding any scratches on you

If you were to grow, he would give most guys the dad glare of the century and all those guys would run tf away cuz nobody messes with Bright's newfound daughter

I have high doubts that he would let anyone do tests with you when he's not there and even if he was, they would need his approval, so most of the time, you don't even need to worry much

Dr. Alto Clef

(OML Why do I keep adding new characters?! There's so much to write T_T)

Right, so when Clef found you, it was like as if his long lost (well... not so lost) memory came back to him

For some reason, you reminded him of 166 (OML I'm so lost for this SCP, like boi she had a rewrite)

So he took you in the foundation like he did with his daughter and took care of you Since he works for the foundation, he's not remotely terrified or anything, but he's curious about your abilities

And of course, you managed to use some of your abilities because of some SCPs and Bright Clef took you to meet 166 and you both showed your abilities and since 166 is older than you, she's probably trying to help you control your powers more

Which, of course, makes Clef a proud dad

If there were any containment breaches, he'd panicked but once he found you with his other daughter, he was relieved

166 made sure that you weren't hurt and if you were, you'd be bandaged up so Clef doesn't have to worry too much

Anyhow, if Clef decides to introduce you to the tiger doctors, he'd make sure Glass is the first since he's the most sensible person (but let's face it, he wouldn't admit it)

Then it'll be Iceberg, Coggs (that's his name right), Light and a couple others Bright and Kondraki would be last since they would be somewhat chaotic (mainly Bright) even though they're the fun uncle

Whenever Clef has a mission, he'd shove you to either 166 or Glass, if he's free, if not then it'll most likely be Light (and if she's also busy, then yall screwed)

And bless the guy who takes an interest in you when you become a teen cuz our messy boi would make sure that guy would suffer

Dr. Benjamin Kondraki

Ok let's face it, Kondraki would definitely be the mother hen of the dad world in the SCP Foundation

He's literally your mother, kinda like Glass but kinda not, ya know what I'm saying?

Like he'll feed your curiosity since many people around you wouldn't and you're an SCP so you're trapped in the foundation anyways

I'd say he's quite cautious and caring, obviously, but if he's out and about, he'd definitely let you go with him

Unless he's going out for a mission, then that's a definite no-no

He would let you hang out with the safer SCPs like 999 and maybe 166 if Clef is chill, but he has to let you hang out with her cuz she's the only other SCP who could help you get a grasp with your powers

Like how to not burn the bloody floor when you cry and stop breathing fire inconsistently by accident

An attempt was made when they try to train your telekineses but they'll have to wait till you're older

Since most of the time you're stuck with Kondraki, I don't think he'd be all too worried bout breaches, of course, he'd be worried about your safety, but you're there with him

If not then god knows what Kondraki would do

Like that one time, he begged Clef and Bright to look for you in which they did but then they made him do something for them in return

Let's just say, it wasn't pleasant at all, but it could be worse since Clef had a shred of sympathy left for the man and Bright just wanted chainsaws

[just-a-whumping-racoon-with-wifi]

Hi! Um, I'm trying to start up a art/writing blog and I was wondering if you have any advice in getting involved with different communities, particularly with wh.ump!

I ask because your one of my favorite creators and you seem to be pretty involved with wh.ump (tho I suppose that's a little obvious😅)

(also I just have to say I really love mason and the boys, I spent an afternoon pretty much reading everything with them. Thank you so much for writing all these amazing stories! ❤️❤️❤️)

First of all - hello!! And thank you thank you thank you for the sweet words!!

Here’s some things that come to mind when you’re starting out (to be fair I’m only really in this community so like, limited advice)

Blog management stuff:

Make a blog gmail from your username. I’m serious it’s SO FUCKING HELPFUL. You get access to google docs and keep (where I store random thoughts and tag lists). You can use your gmail for your tumblr account if you want a level of security, you get an email account for other sites relating to your blog. I seriously can’t recommend it enough. (Helps keep things organized and WAY lowers your chances of accidental doxxing yourself through google docs)

There’s a good chance your “Introduction Post” will get easily 10x as many notes as your first real drabble/drawing/prompt. People are really friendly and want to share it around, but that doesn’t directly translate to followers. So, tease your stories!! After info about yourself and what you like, tell us a little about your OCs and plot/setting (if you have one). Give a character sheet for your drawing! Let us know what the look forward to!

Follow trends (if you want to). I say this because I’m one of those people who has and “””manages””” like 50 OCs, as you’ve probably seen lol, but once you’re around long enough you’ll see micro trends pop up under the normal tropes. (It’s a little slow right now but there was recently a BIG vampire AU trend, before that there was some Group of Whumpees and WAYY before that was Tiny whump). When people see something and get hype over it, they want more! Then you can pop over and supply the need! I personally love having a bunch of whumpees cause then you can shift between them as my own attention/interests change.

Queue content to post ~ 5-6 pm EST time. Whump is pretty international but I find that’s a pretty good time. (When I first started I would queue posts to post at like 3 pm because no one else was posting and I thought it would like, “fill the gap”, but it didn’t get a lot of attention. Pushed it back a couple hours and there really is a difference!)

If your drabble is a bit on the long side please put a cut. Just helps with dashboard management.

Community interaction stuff:

Make yourself a named anon if you’re feeling shy! They are BELOVED and SPECIAL. literally last night I was thinking about some of mine I haven’t seen in a while. It’s such a good way to interact with people or content you’re not quite ready to jump head first into. But If you do want to reveal yourself, you’ve already made connections!!

Reblog and comment on other’s fic. ‘Nough said.

Actually use prompts. Like if there’s one that you want to continue (even just for like ONE piece) do it! And tag the person who made the prompt! Correct me if I’m wrong but unless you see explicitly *not a prompt* then the original person will probably be thrilled to read it!! Like you fulfilled their mind story how amazing!!!

Whump community is nice and friendly, but we’re humans. Humans who write about bad things that happen and some of us have had bad things happen to us, and sometimes that gets messy. Overall very nice and welcoming but not perfect. 💛

Now, previously I would say tag tag tag but uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ………. ???????????? Who the fuck knows what’s going with that. However, still put your TW’s at the top of your post clearly. People need those to stay safe.

I’ll add my #dubious raccoon advice tag to this post so you can see what else I’ve dubiously advised in the past.

Welcome!!! Can’t wait to see you bopping around!!

[monstersandmaw]

AAAAAAAAHHHHHH OH MY GAWD YOU START WITH TMA AND THEN TELL US YOU ALSO WATCH ARCANE? WE HAVE THE SAME TASTE! I finished it yesterday and it destroyed me too but I would love to hear your thoughts on it if you wanted to share them ~ after seeing you post about the Firelights vastaya guy (the bat one) I'm curious

Aww :). I powered on with The Magnus Archives while I was painting krampus yesterday, and I’m now near the end of the second season. Enjoying it a lot so far, and I’ve definitely got headcanons popping up for that too, though I’m a bit too shy to share those just yet, especially since it’s my first time listening to it, and I’m sure I’ve missed a lot of details.

As for Arcane, yeah, I wasn’t expecting to get into it really - I’m normally a ‘medieval fantasy’ kind of person, but I really enjoyed it. It’s one hell of an emotional ride though. Oof my god. Favourite characters so far have been Viktor, Vi, Caitlyn, and yeah, the bat-eared friend in the Firelights. The chemistry between Vi and Caitlyn was everything I wanted and I loved them wholeheartedly. Interested to see where that goes in Season 2 whenever that happens.

I had to look up what ‘vastaya’ was since I’ve not played any of the game and know almost nothing about the lore, but if you say he’s a vastaya then that works for me!

Spontaneous ‘bat-ear guy headcanons’ below, though really I’ve just created a character/OC inspired by him, rather than fixing on that character from the show. I said ‘single dad’ in my other post, and I’m ammending that to ‘widower’, just so folks are aware. No other warnings, I think...

My character based on the guy from the show is called Dex, and he grew up in Zaun. He used to work ‘security’ for a shitty bar somewhere in the depths of the city, and lost his wife to illness brought on by the toxic atmosphere. With just his newborn daughter left, he joined the Firelights and is now an integral part of their community. He fights for a better world, knowing it won’t happen in his lifetime, but he hopes to lay the groundwork for his daughter’s future.

He’s quiet - because of his mouthful of sharp teeth, he doesn’t speak all that much, and finds human language tricky - but he listens (no ear puns intended) and is very observant and thoughtful, liking to work things out all the way through before acting or speaking, which sometimes frustrates the more impulsive members of the Firelights.

He would do literally anything to protect his daughter, and he finds comfort and peace in holding her in his arms.

He’s very wary of topsiders, but also of strangers. He does not trust easily, and it takes a lot for him to open up, but usually once you’ve won him over, he’s very loyal.

He’s panromantic, though he tends to lean more towards women when it comes to physical attraction, but since his wife died, he hasn’t wanted to have any kind of intimacy with anyone. It’s just not been there.

Because of his heightened hearing, he’s sensitive to loud noises, so doesn’t tend to enjoy going out into the city or into the bars and clubs. He’s also colourblind, seeing only in greyscale (it was the green layer over his species’ eyes that made me think of it). He can use a sort of echolocation in the dark. His ears are also extremely touch-sensitive......... do with that information what you will.

He’s got claws on hands and feet, and he tends to keep them pretty sharp. He trains with a spear, and prefers that to guns and most other weapons. His martial arts style is all about kicks and using his long leggies (forgive my taekwondo background here. Think Spike from Bebop as a fighting style?).

He’s also had some medical training, though it’s more along the lines of ‘field medicine/first aid’ than anything you’d find ‘topside’.

I think that’s it for my new OC Dex. If you want any scenario headcanons or whatnot, please just ask.

Feeling Deeply

Genre: Fluff so much fluff. Arranged Marriage fic.

Pairing: Namjoon x OC

A/N: Aaaaaa this is the first fic I'm posting ever ever. It's basically a way to follow the red thread of my desires. OC is named Brishti. She's Indian. She's Bengali & curvy & an introvert. This whole fic is 90% going to be a slow burn fluff fic about two introvert nerds getting to know each other. Seriously there's like hardly any real angst, maybe slight angst about okay when are these two going to bang - if you look very carefully but basically its just slooooow fluuuufff. Hopefully you all like it. Please let me know what you think. Current Chapter: This one is loooong. Remember this is all happening in the 1960s. OC & Namjoon are both really well off first gen immigrants. In this chapter we have our couple coming closer together - talking about some issues they've both had in their lives. Also this is the chapter where you'll get to know one of my favourite Namjoon songs and like why the OC is named what she's named. Also just a reminder because im a bit paranoid - Rim Jhim (referred to as Rim) is our OC Brishti. Its a pet name that's introduced in this chapter. And Namjoon being the wordsmith that he is makes it shorter, with the korean meaning of the word.

Previously in Feeling Deeply: Preface-ish Chapter 1

Chapter 2

And so it went for the next few days, the two of them quietly discovering each other. They were finding out the normal, casual, small things - how he didn’t like mint chocolate, how she loved bitter black coffee. Since both of them worked, they decided to split the chores at home. It worked out great because Namjoon liked to sweep & Brishti loved to do the dishes. They both struggled to cook but they decided to learn how to cook each other’s cuisines. So she was learning how to make kimchi (the green onion one) & he was learning how to prepare daal (the yellow one). They split the rent & decided to create a separate bank account for their savings. Talking about money increased warmth because they discovered that neither valued it excessively.

Slowly, they began talking about things a little more intimate. Meanings of names were revealed. She was impressed that his name meant genius. And he loved that hers meant rain. Pet names were introduced. He called her Rim - an even shorter version of her daak naam Rim Jhim. He told her to call him Joon. She looked away, smiling, then - silently telling him they’re not there yet. What he didn’t tell her was that he was already making up a fairytale about Joon, the genius & Rim, the brilliant jade that makes him so.

They spoke about books the most. Between them, they had half the globe's literature covered. She had read Indian authors & Russian & Spanish ones. He loved Korean authors, Japanese literature & all the Greek Classics. He geeked out about philosophy & poetry while she nerded over nature writing & music. They spoke about how they might take a look at other European writers & musicians together. To that end, Namjoon brought home a book of love poems by Rilke.

He hadn’t told her that he wrote poetry too. He hadn’t mentioned anything because it seemed like an indulgence of the past, poetry. But that night everything changed. After a late dinner, Brishti had asked to read aloud from the book he’d brought. As she read ‘To Music’, Namjoon saw tears float in her eyes. Secretly, something inside him had wept too. And just like that, he knew he would begin writing soon.

Each week the two watched late shows of classic hollywood musicals in a nearby theatre because they’d decided against a tv in their home - opting, instead, for a record player. Meeting for a movie each of the two Fridays they’d spent together so far was an experience both looked forward to - not only for the movie. In the darkness of the movie theatre, they experienced the first glimpses of intimacy. Soft smiles, whispering, silent glances, hands caressing each other. He loved how she laughed with abandon. She loved that he would tear up during the emotional scenes.

Her smile was getting wider, warmer toward him, Namjoon noted everyday. He’d been sleeping separately since their wedding night because he wanted her to feel safe. He was mostly okay with that except if he thought about it… If he thought about a time when he would get to touch her - Namjoon almost felt dizzy with feelings.

This happened the most when he saw her read by the window, he ached to touch her. That was her - Brishti - that was who she was at her core. Reading, running her fingers through her short hair, staring out the window, thinking, looking at clouds & then going back to reading. She was still quiet, but less so. She spoke about the rain and the trees and when she was happiest, he learned, when she really trusted that no one was going to judge her, she spoke about the moon. It had happened twice in the last few days.

He couldn’t stop looking at her. As though that needed reasoning, he thought about it at the office too. It wasn’t the only answer he could come up with but Namjoon had never seen a body like hers. She didn’t seem brittle or delicate, the way most women looked - or were “supposed to look”. She didn’t care what a body is supposed to look like, at least, it seemed that way to him. Brishti’s curves were not subtle. She was short and while almost everyone was shorter than him, Brishti was just… sexily so. She’d do these things… seemingly normal, everyday things but they would quickly, embarrassingly, inspire an arousal in him. Like, that thing she did, when she stretched after waking up or even if she stretched her arms or her neck… for some reason that turned him on so much, he’d have to hide… or excuse himself. His breath hitched, everytime he thought about how he hadn’t still actually seen her body.

Brishti, too, enjoyed looking at him from afar. Sharing, creating a living space with a man was never something she thought she would enjoy. They had exchanged the basic stories of how they had reached each other.

Namjoon had said, “I’d met a couple of women… girls… but they just seemed either plastic or porcelain… you know? I mean, not all of them could have been that but that's how they… presented themselves? You… I saw your photos in a pile that the matchmaker labelled ‘rubbish’”

“What?!”

“Yeah… I’m sorry but it’s actually a compliment to be labelled ‘bad’ by a matchmaker. That’s why I was looking in that pile in the first place… when I heard you wanted to keep working… Honestly I was so relieved...”

She smiled, “At least you got a look at me… I didn’t even know what you looked like till we met. I had no choice at all. A boy had agreed to marry me - despite… me… so that was the end of it. That was the bargain with my brother… otherwise I wouldn’t have been allowed to work either.”

“Wow… I’m so sorry, Rim. That’s really… really unfair.”

“Hmm yeah… I just figured if I can keep earning & the man turns out to be wrong, at least I can leave.”

“That’s… thanks for not leaving...”

Brishti smiled, “I got lucky...”

Namjoon understood, then, that Brishti might be an introvert but that did not mean she was shy. She made him blush & laugh. She made him speak without inhibition. The more time he spent with her, his feelings poured out.

“Thanks… It’s been really nice to share this home with you. Just to have you to talk to… My life was not going that great...” he said.

Brishti nodded, even though she already knew this. Whatever he said, strangely, she could see a deeper melancholy behind it. They spoke about being strangers in a strange country. She told him how she had to fight at the library for Tagore to be considered classic literature. How she was slowly but surely, being accepted in the oddball group that ran the library. She was not the only non-english person there, so things were easier for her. Besides, true readers had always been more accepting of the different.

Something made her regret sharing her happiness about this because his struggle in this foreign land was far more intense… she could sense pain behind the words he used. Namjoon did not enjoy his job the way she did. He worked overtime most days and came home bone-tired. Kim Namjoon was in many ratraces at the same time - races Brishti felt he didn’t want to participate at all. Being a lawyer, being an asian - the ‘model minority’, being a slightly well-off Korean in a sea of white men, in a sea of less fortunate asians who were being treated much worse than him. Trying to create a name, an identity of his own was wearing him out... chipping away at his soul.

Brishti sometimes saw him and saw a great banyan cutting itself down, trying to be a shrub just to fit in. When she asked him how his day was, he always smiled. It was real, the smile and yet it couldn’t hide the sadness in his eyes. Something that was beginning to bother Brishti more and more, these days. He... had begun to matter more and more these days.

Now, about two weeks into their marriage, she was experiencing butterflies about the smallest things; Things like watching him sleep on the fold out, bringing him coffee in the morning. She felt a pull deep inside her take over when he would come out of the shower in the bathrobe, skin glistening from the shower & musky man-scents launching her body in a fantastical arousal & her mind in overdrive. Somedays, Brishti even went for a shower after he’d been, just so she could soak in his essence & bathe in a trance she had never felt before.

On their third weekend together, Namjoon didn’t have to go to work the whole weekend. He’d spoken to his superior at the firm to let him have weekends free - after all, he was married now. Post lunch that Saturday, Brishti and he kept unpacking, organising while talking (well, later on, it was just coffee & talking) into the early hours of Sunday. They spoke about things they loved, people they had loved. About fictional crushes and real ones. Both of them spoke about their past relationships. Something Brishti was delighted about - especially since Namjoon told her he was not the type to hold someone’s past against them.

Brishti couldn’t believe it when Namjoon had correctly guessed, “It was the photographer, right?”

“What-?! How- Where- How did you…?” Brishti couldn’t even form a question.

“Your photos, at the matchmakers… something was different. All the other pictures women give out for arranged matches seem... fake. Yours were… real… private. You looked comfortable… looked like you were being teased...” What he didn’t say was how much it seemed in those pictures like she was with someone she truly liked… maybe even loved.

Sat on the ground opposite Namjoon, Brishti kept her gaze on him. It unnerved Namjoon that she could really see him. She unnerved him further when she said, “You should say what you aren’t saying… or… asking?”

“Did you love him?”

“Not really… it was just... a different kind of friendship… ended almost as soon as it began. But I- I don’t regret it. It wasn’t the kind of love-” she trailed off. She looked away, smiling but trying to hide it. The same way she had in the photograph.

He pressed further just to tease her “Kind of love...?” Namjoon was intrigued because she was blushing now & he wanted to plant a thousand pecks on her. Instead he said, “So you can just… stop what you were saying? Mmm. Okay. I see.”

She looked at him then, “I’m feeling… a lot… of… different things these days. Especially because of a couple of dimples...”

Just like that, she turned the tables & his dimples appeared. He blushed, “Yeah… same. I mean… you don’t have dimples but I’ve-”

She nodded to let him know she understood. And then asked, “Uhm... Have you… had sex?”

Namjoon bit his lip, “Yeah… yes. I... had a girlfriend in law school. It… uh… wasn’t serious… for her.”

Brishti looked away nodding, as if stopping herself from saying something.

He looked at her… knowing what she probably wanted to say. He wanted to hug her but he only said, “It doesn’t matter, does it? For me it doesn’t. Doesn’t matter if you’ve had sex too… I know how people can be about virginity… I- honestly… it's just another way to control people.”

She looked at him with a mixture of emotions. She took a minute to compose herself & then said, “I’ve never met a man like you… and it's a little confusing and annoying… Not that you are annoying… not at all. It’s just the world is annoying because this is how low the standard is for a man. A man accepting that the woman has a past makes him… forward…? But of course the woman has to… because, well, he’s a man and he has needs. We’re all told that… Shirley... who works with me… she knows it too. Women just aren’t supposed to talk about their pasts. All women.”

She paused & got flustered further because of how dedicatedly Namjoon had been listening. It really seemed as if he was taking notes. The serious expression on his face, it made Brishti's ears feel hot. Almost as a distraction, she went on -

“It's crazy but that seems to be the only thing THE WHOLE WORLD has agreed on - they can’t agree on one way to make bread but they all agreed that women are inferior. It’s such a basic thing to just let me work… because I want to… but it's annoying that it makes me feel lucky. My best friend had to go through hell because she thought she could trust her husband with the truth about her past… so it makes me feel lucky that… you won’t…”

Namjoon could see the pain in her words. Maybe that’s how she could always sense the pain in his words, he thought.

After a calming silence passed over them, he spoke - “I won’t. I don’t really know what it’s like for a woman. And… maybe you won’t like to hear this, but… I was the same, Rim... I was the man my society had trained me to be. Everything changed when I came here. When, for the first time in my life, I understood what it���s like to be treated inferior. Since then, I just… I cannot be the cause of a feeling like that within anyone... So… you’re right. I’m not doing anything everyone shouldn’t already do. All of this should be normal. Expected. Hopefully the world learns a bit faster…”

Brishti smiled at Namjoon. She chuckled when tears pooled up in her eyes. He instinctively reached out for her & placed a hand on her leg, just below her knee. A jolt went through Brishti and she looked surprised. He did too. Namjoon retracted his hand immediately & looked away, blushing. That’s when Brishti laughed out loud. She stood up. And asked him to stand up, silently.

He did. It always made Brishti’s heart flutter just how gorgeous and tall he was. Someday, she would tell him. Someday, she would show him. For now, she couldn’t help feeling bashful as she asked, “Can I get a hug, Joon?”

This was the first time she’d used the pet name that he’d asked her to call him by. This was what his family called him. And her using this name assured Namjoon of just that - she was becoming family. Her question had made his heart flip. He moved without really thinking, because this is what his body had wanted since the day he saw her. He pulled her up in his arms. He felt like he was melting. She was soft. Warm. Beautiful. And in his arms.

Brishti gasped a little when Namjoon had scooped her up in his arms. She was on her toes, literally & figuratively. She held onto him, less as a hug & more as support… at first. Then, she felt his arms… the strong arms that she had been ogling at, around her. It was as if a knot came undone, within her, suddenly. And in its place, the softest silk suddenly flowed through her body.

She closed her eyes and breathed him in. The same essence that she’d been soaking in after he had showered, that she had been breathing in whenever he would pass by or reach past her. The essence that she had now become so hungry for that she had been secretly sleeping with the shirt he’d worn from the laundry basket. That essence was now all over her. Her chin turned up, resting on his shoulders, her cheeks touching his, her hands - on their own - reached the nape of his neck and began to play with his hair.

When she did that, Namjoon held her tighter, pressed her on to him. He felt her body react to his. One hand reaching her shoulder around her back, he moved the other closer to her waist, so his hands could fold over her curves. He could feel her breath hitch when he did that.

Brishti was revelling in the feeling of his hands, his fingers, feeling his fingertips press into her - that was a feeling she could never have imagined making her so... so... drunk. She was drunk. She ran her hands up and down his vast back, all the way up to his hair. All of a sudden she could feel herself overcome with emotion. Tears began pooling in her eyes again. And she said, before it was too late, she said, “Thank you, Joon, for everything… thank you.”

When he heard the tremble in her voice, Namjoon pulled away, just so he could see her. Brishti quickly retracted too - to wipe off her tears, trying to laugh off the silliness, apologising. Namjoon replied, “It’s okay… I understand… I… Thank you, Rim. I hope you… you know what I mean...” What he wanted to say, what he hoped she understood was that she was what was helping him come alive. But being unable to, Namjoon knew someday he would. Someday soon.

Brishti nodded to say she understood. Namjoon tried to lighten the atmosphere, saying, “You’re not… just anyone, you know? So… maybe you should tell me something I could do which is… not just basic decency, but something that can be considered truly feminist, you know. I’d love to do that for you.”

Brishti smiled and nodded. She suddenly felt tired & almost of its own accord, her body stretched into a yawn. She said, “I’ll think of something. We- I should go now… Do you want- anything?...” Brishti was delighted about how drunk she had gotten from one hug. It was exciting that she knew she’d be sleeping with the sweater he had tossed in the laundry basket tonight. She decided to take a bit more time to enjoy being intoxicated without a substance, together and alone.

Later that night, as Namjoon laid on his fold out sofa, alone, he thought of how great it had felt to have Brishti in his arms. To have someone who wanted to know about his day. To feel her heartbeat, like raindrops, knocking on his chest like it was a window pane, almost as if asking to be let in…

Thoughts like these, they made Namjoon reach for the notepad & pen that he always kept close by. He wrote. He wrote of being world weary and suddenly having a friend. Suddenly feeling like the world wasn't rushing him, that he didn’t need to run, that he could take time, be slow, be a poet. His heart tugged at his pen as it wrote lines about what it felt like to have someone cry for him. To have someone be full of feelings for him, to have someone to embrace his weary body. He wrote about how he missed that embrace and yet it was okay… as long as she was still here, maybe not just next to him, yet. Maybe someday. It was okay because she asked how he was every day and Brishti was here, forever. Namjoon felt tears run down his own face, as he titled the first poem he’d written in almost five years - Forever Rain.
