This fatass…….

[muchtooleyzy]

me when i can finally post my art without worrying about ai coming for it!!!!!!!! (i put some of these in my now-deactivated main instagram account)

[funkynumaki]

Could I request something for Naib and Norton? Maybe them expecting they'll be the dom during their first time with you (just because they're seen as tough/manly and that's the role they usually took when it comes to sex before they met you) but then you turn the tables on them and top them and them surprisingly loving it?

Turning table

Summary; they're usually the one who's in charge or take the lead in sex, so what happen if they have a partner who's more dominant than them?

Characters included: Norton Campbell and Naib Subedar

Warning: Dom!reader x Sub: character(s), handjob (G), slight blood mentioned in Norton's (like just one line).

A/N: sorry for not posting, something caught up and I lost motivation. But I'm back! I can't really promise if I'll be back long though. For now I'm trying to clear my draft <3.

(NOT PROOFREAD)

|| Norton Campbell

- when you both start dating Norton always thought that he'll be the one who'll take in charge of intimate moment, credit to him it was an almost logical thinking of his. I mean, he's way bigger than you, so in his mind it's supposed to be him who's in charge, right?

- so it was a bit surprising to him when you prove him wrong. And more surprising that he ironically enjoy being in that position, even as much as sometimes he'd not like to admit.

"How is it?" You ask, looking at the man underneath you. Watching as groan and breathy moan slipped from his throat. "Fuckin-nh good..-" He manage to answer your question with little or no self control, especially in the state he's currently in. Your fingers move instinctively, teasing the tip of his dick, Tracing your nail slightly on it. "O-ohh shit-!Pl-ngh..!" His words barely coherent anymore. The prospector's back arched slighty at the sudden pace. "What's that..? You doesn't look like someone who's usually in charge right now.." You cooe in his ear, which he answer with a strangled moan. Your finger stop stimulating his tip, changing its main focus on the base. "Fuck! Ga-ahh..!" He throw his head back from the sudden pleasure that is now mainly on the base of his dick. His hand nails digging your back almost hard enough to drew blood. "Sensitive much, hm?" You chuckle as he try to suppress his noise by nipping on your neck, though it's a bit useless since his breathing is still labored. "Answer me, love. Let me hear how much you love it." You said, slightly threatening him by slowing your pace.

"Mnh..hh-! N-no-dont-fhuck!pl-ease..! I need it..-please-Ahngh! I love it-lo..veit so-much..!"

|| Naib Subedar

- being a mercenary he is used to bring in charge, well mostly because he usually hold more power in the relationship. Trust is something important in naib's relationship, so even if he's already aware that you can switch and take in charge, he still needs sometimes to think. He trust you, just not sure at first about the idea.

- when the time arrives, it's best to be gentle with him. And let him get comfortable with being the one's bottoming. At first he thinks it feels a bit weird, but gradually enjoy it with each passing second.

You notice how he hides his slightly flushed face on the crook of your neck, trying to prevent any noise slipping out of his throat. "You okay..?" You ask, waiting for him to confirm that he's okay. Since the least that you want is accidentally hurting him when he finally show you his vulnerable side. ".. Yes.. J.. Just continue..-" Nodding at his confirmation, your hand slightly fasten its pace. "Ng-ahh-" A choked moan slipped down his tongue, his eyes trying to focus on your fingers as they wrapped around his throbbing dick. "No need to hold it, love. I want to hear you moan" You whisper in his ear, brushing a strand of his hair back. Naib let out a groan, eyes still focused on your fingers. His face still slightly flushed. Your nail trace the tip of his dick, he trashes his head back at the sudden stimulation against his tip. "Doing so good..." You cooe.

"A-ahh! Fuc-hh..please. S'good.."

mr. inference, who never would've imagined he'd ever find someone to love with how busy he gets and how gruff and blunt he always is.

mr. inference, who had no idea what to do at first when he realized he'd grown fond of and attracted to you.

mr. inference, who absolutely treasures you when you accept his clumsy confession and teach him how to love for the very first time.

mr. inference, who always wears a small smile whenever he sees you around, a pleasant reminder to him that he now has someone to come home to at the end of every case.

mr. inference, who downright adores when you bring some packed lunch to the office for him, knowing he most likely would've forgotten to eat otherwise.

mr. inference, who so desperately wishes he could take you on little coffee shop or picnic dates but begrudgingly refrains from it knowing that he'd likely risk putting you in some sort of danger if he did.

mr. inference, who regrets not being able to spend as much time with you as he wants to because of his work keeping him busy throughout almost every hour of every day.

mr. inference, who wants so desperately to be able to spoil you in return, always treasuring the fleeting moments of spare time he almost never gets and completely showering you in kisses when he finally gets a minute to spend with you.

mr. inference, who becomes an extreme worry-wart whenever you get sick, delegating all of his duties to lady truth while he stays home to take care of you every day until you get better.

mr. inference, who hates having to leave you behind when he goes out on travel investigations, wishing he could take you with him but knowing it'd be way too risky if he took you along.

mr. inference, who is absolutely overjoyed to see your smiling face again when he returns from weeks-long investigations abroad, pulling you into the tightest hug you can imagine and pressing kisses all over your face when he finally sees you again.

mr. inference, who falls asleep holding you tight in his arms every night and dreams about marrying you.

Friend(S) with Benefits?

College AU | Norton Campbell x Reader x Naib Subedar NSFW

Content warning: threesome, slight smut, really just porn (not much plot), 1K words, MDNI

(A/n: this was just basically me and my horny side messing around, also it's really messy as i was too lazy to write, NORTON PLS)

smut under the cut!

It wasn't that long into senior year of college when the young woman find herself entangled in strings of emotions. Norton Campbell, ruffled up dark hair and very much noteable scar marks covering his arms and handsome face, offering her into something she's never thought she's be into

"Friends with benefits," Norton mentioned, his lips curling into a suggestive smile that dabbles with mischief. The girl exclaimed loudly, confused and intrigued, as she grappled with the unexpected proposition. "Well, I take it you aren't into relationships, what about being friends with benefits instead?" Norton pressed on, his tone a blend of casualness and deep curiosity.

In his heart, he does long for the young woman, her unique spirit, her brains, her captivating curves, her plump lips, everything. The girl thought his proposition out throughly, a whirlwind of contemplation and desire. Relationships had never held much appeal for her, but the occasional intimacy in the course of being stressed due to senior year was undeniably tempting. What else could he do, after all?

"Deal", she answered, as the both of them shook hands firmly, an unnoticeable smirk grew on his face.

Nightly rendezvous, periodic meet-ups, casual fucks around the secluded campus classrooms, pristine library halls, reserved meeting rooms, it was all pleasureable for the both of them, craving more and more of each other every passing day. Yet, as weeks passed with their routine, a new dynamic emerged.

It was during one such "meet-up" in the dark-haired man's dormitory that she found herself greeted not only by him but also by an unexpected guest. The door opened, revealing Naib Subedar and all his glory, lying down on Norton's bed, all comfortable. A famous athlete within campus halls, known for active contribution within the campus vicinity, popular and admired by all for his actions and of course, his charisma.

"Is this your idea of 'trying something new,' Norton?" Her words toned with sarcasm, a subtle challenge to his once again, stupid suggestion. "Oh, come on," Norton replied with a sly grin, his voice laced with persuasion. "Give him a try. He's not that bad, you know."

Casting a slight glance over Norton's shoulder, she glared at the man in the dark green jacket, his muscular frame noticeable beneath the fabric. Perhaps a moment of stressing out after today's brainwrecking exam was not entirely opposed to. She just hates how she blatantly agrees to all propositions Norton has to offer, even sudden ones like this.

"Fine," she answered, her tone edged with annoyance. "I'll give it a shot. But if I'm not enjoying myself, he's out." With a pointed gesture towards the man seated on the bed, engrossed in a book. She made her terms clear, unwilling to compromise her own desires for the sake of Norton's stupid arrangements.

Tonight's session happens with an intensity that left the young woman breathless, the thick walls of the dormitory serving as a surprisingly tough barrier, holding off echoes of pleasure, surrendering to Norton's relentless thrusts, with her sitting on top of him his every movement sending waves of ecstasy and pleasure as it courses through her, the usual that always fills her up inside her jelly walls.

Meanwhile, Naib, a silent observer no more, took off his jacket to reveal a amusingly sculpted body in a tightly compressed sleeveless turtleneck, unbuckling his belt to take off his pants, his presence adding a new pressure to their intercourse. With sterness, he cupped her jaw, his touch both tender and commanding as he studied her teary eye while slowly caressing her moan filled lips.

Without hesitation, he tangled his fingers in her hair, guiding her towards him with a simple command.

"Suck."

That was all it takes before she obeyed, her lips enveloping him eagerly, her every movement shows off her skillful ways of giving pleasureable blowjobs, coating him in saliva, making the bulge in her throat a visible. Slowly moaning from the pleasure she feels from her arousal down below from each heavy thrusts Norton was giving, releasing adorning vibrations for the brunette to enjoy.

As the hours melted away into a haze of sensation, the room was filled with moans, groans, and hefty grumbles of pleasure. With each passing moment, Norton's heavy thrusts found their spot, sending waves of ecstasy coursing through her body, with him knowing full well all of her pleasureable spots due to the multiple intercourses they'd been having.

For the girl, pleasure washed over her in relentless waves, each climax more intense than the last. With every thrust, her inner walls stretched and yielded, welcoming him deeper with each penetration. The sheer length and girth of his member brought her to the brink of climax time and time again, her whole being trembling with the intensity of their shared passion.

Naib, unlike Norton, savored every moment of their passionate encounter, his steady rhythm shows how he's enjoying every second on fulfilling his desires. Remembering his defeat on the track competition, channeling his frustrations into each languid thrust, relishing the slick heat of her walls wrapped around him. As he approached the peak of his pleasure, he pushed deeper, his throbbing length pulsing until the knot in his stomach soon came undone, painting her walls white before withdrawing.

On the contrary, Norton seized the moment with one final thrust, his grip firm on the girl's lower hips as he poured himself into her, his seed spilling over her skin as he reached the the climax, a sense of contentment washing over her as she settled into the warmth of Norton's bed.

"That was quite something," she murmured, her voice heavy with satisfaction as she nestled against the sheets, falling deeply into sleep.

Norton chuckled softly, his fingers trailing through her ragged hair as he stared at her delicate form. "You seem to like her," he remarked lightly, his touch tender against her skin.

"Her skills were... impressive, i guess," Naib answered with a scoff, unable to deny the truth.

It was more than just another session, undeniable pleasure and connection filled her heart with satisfaction. Perhaps, just perhaps, their nightly sessions would be filled with the same captivating passion and pleasure, who knows?

(A/n: the last few paragraphs i was rushing LMAO internet sucks here)

[athanasius-symposium-of-writings]

Lol to my friends in my server being feral w me.

Rated Explicit | Warning: it horny written, collar and leash, poly w norton x reader x florian mentioned, yes it based on bark for me

Idk if i should more but here unedited

A collar, it looks like a dog collar but it looks similar to the one Naib Subedar has in the one particular attire. The more he looks at it as the ring attachment connected to the leash jiggles, the Fire Investigator recalls how the hunter Norton was flirting with you when he was by your chair.

Something about how misbehaving puppies get no treats. You were giggling and Andrew was pinging for Florian to get you. It was made clear to him by survivor Norton to him, Fool’s Gold is a part of this relationship and he will have to accept that. Florian had asked if Fool’s Gold would be willing the to fuck him too, after all they are *sharing*. Norton had a good laugh then saw why you wanted the blonde.

“Oh! You found that.” Coming into your room where you told Florian to go after your match, “Cute, right?”

“It looks well made,” Examining it as it has impressive leatherwork and metal work, the colors are clearly Norton's— Florian is a bit envious. “Do you wear this?”

“Sometimes, most with big Norton,” A nickname you say jokingly, “Want me to put it on?” Reaching out for it.

“I want to wear it.”

That threw you for a loop.

Florian is not particularly submissive unless it is Norton fucking him, he is playful but there hint of him pushing buttons with Norton. Pushing to get a play fight and fucked roughly, Florian likes it and Norton likes being rough. With you, Florian dominates and knows how to have you melting. You get off on danger from both men, the risk of the power trip, but you know you are safe too.

“Can I?”

You nod as you get really close to him as you feel a rush of excitement running through you, “On your knees first.” The smile on your face growing though you did not notice you were smiling, “High up and hand me the collar.”

He follows your instructions with equal excitement, eager as he presents your collar.

You tell him the rules, the safe word you use, and you ask him again if he wants to try this. Florian barks, he actually fucking barks in reply.

“Cheeky! Flicking his nose as you laugh, “You don't have to go that far but I appreciate the enthusiasm, love.” Kissing him as you place the collar on his neck. “Good?”

“Good.”

You kiss him again then pull back, “Undress— No, stay on the floor and undress.”

Florian is the type to try anything and everything you do with Norton, he finds often he either wants to do it on you or have it done to him by Norton. You bite your bottom lip as you pull up a chair to watch the show your golden retriever is putting on in his uniform.

“Good boy.” As you tug on the leash, “Quickly or I'll get bored.”

The pants and underlings are tossed off leaving him completely exposed on your floor looking up at you with eager excitement. You lick your lips at the naked sight as you never get tired of seeing him or Norton naked. There is much you want to do to him, so much that will require questions and practice so you for now are going to go with what you know.

Headcanons of Naib with a y/n that’s just as dangerous as he is?

(Their a survivor as too)

Apologies that this has taken a while - I was on vacation, and then fell ill. I hope you enjoy

Naib, Jack x reader who is as dangerous as they are

Warnings: mentions of violence

Naib Subedar

Would you like to be his sparring partner? It is hard to keep in shape while in the manor, but seeing your pretty face would make the effort worth it. It’s not like he’ll be fighting any of the hunters, and his knife is just for show, but he’d still like to be able to beat someone’s ass if the situation called for it.

‘I’ve seen some of your moves. Did you ever work in the mercenary business? How do I know? Well, I used to work in the same field as you before. Could you spar with me sometime? I’d like to keep my skills sharp.’

In the mercenary world, he may have heard of you if you were in his home country, but outside of that, he wouldn’t know much about you, and most likely, it’ll be the same for you.

‘Hey, saw that you kited pretty well that match, and I’d like to thank you for carrying us. Heh. Of course I’d be able to do that too, but y’know, it’s easier for other people to do it. Want to grab something to eat?’

He’s of course, impressed by your prowess and relieved when the two of you have matches together, since he doesn’t need to be worried about you - you can handle yourself.

Jack

It wasn’t surprising that he would meet another prolific serial killer in the manor, but you had tickled his interest, what with the fact that your victims had been killed so efficiently and then disposed of cleanly, and the fact that you were so calm being surrounded by those that could end you.

‘Hello, I am Jack. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance… Ah. What a fitting name you have there, ma’am/sir. May I have the honour of showing you around this manor?’

The fact that you were perfectly fine with hurting people was something of interest to him - he had always felt remorseful when ‘he’ had committed another murder, which was why he entered the manor, yet you seemed to be content with the fact that you had harmed people. It unnerved him, and also intrigued him more.

The fact that you were more dangerous than him did not concern him - yes, he would be more careful not to offend you, if you were the short-tempered type, but he still kept his teasing remarks - as he was sure that the Baron would not allow anything that prevented him from being in a match or dulled his performance.

‘It’s nice to see you again… I must ask. Your skills with weapons are quite good - how long did it take for you to master them?’

— MY LOVE, WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME?; YOUR LOVE, IT DISAPPEARED.

⋄ When you die at the manor game

▭ char. x reader ▫ gender neutral ▫ angst ▫ not proofread ▭

Characters: Emily Dyer, Naib Subedar, Orpheus

[ Warning: Violent content, mentions of death ]

— EMILY DYER

This place reeks of danger. You already sensed it the moment you saw how notorious the manor looked. But this location of the 'game' felt even worse.

The fog covers the distance around you and the doctor. Everything was filled with eerie silence. Perhaps there's nothing here other than you and the other participants. Maybe you're just overreacting it because the surroundings felt so menacing.

You and Emily are currently outside the factory walking to the spot where the lawyer claimed that he heard something.

That guy can't be trusted. No one here is. Well, except your lover of course. Emily still has secrets kept from you. But you dismiss it and hoped that one day, she'll tell you.

Freddy Riley and Emily was supposed to have a private conversation. The lawyer had shoo'd you away like you're some fly. But you didn't want to leave the doctor's side and she didn't want you either. She was especially irritated by how Freddy treated you and demanded to let you join in their meeting.

He was visibly annoyed with it but agreed anyway. Apparently, he wanted to be allies. Although after the display of attitude he gave earlier, both of you were quite skeptical about the offer. Nonetheless, your lover thought it would be beneficial and the lawyer offered reasonable excuse to do so and even apologized. You do ponder if it's sincere.

"There's nothing here..." You huff. Going outside was a waste of time. There was nothing here and it was utterly quiet.

Your girlfriend sighs. Emily is very practical, you know. You also can tell that she's holding back her impatience towards the lawyer. But she knows that it would only pose even more problems and held herself back.

"...Let's just go ba—" She was cut off by her own scream. A sudden bulky figure appeared out of nowhere and you both trip to the ground to avoid getting tackled by it. Your arm was in front of Emily's figure in an instant.

You observe what had attacked the two of you and saw a corpse-like monster staring at you with anger that could match the fires of hell.

Major parts of it's blue skin were filled with burn marks. It's face is was covered in bandages with only half of his face and his other eye peeking out. It was wearing a ragged uniform of a factory worker. But the most concerning part of it's appearance was that it was carrying a sickle made out of jaw bones. A few teeth is still intact on it.

The moment you try to pick yourselves up to run—it also latches itself towards you before any of you could react quickly to dodge.

At that second, you did what you could only do.

Your agonizing screams fills Arms Factory as the pointed end of the sickle comes in contact with your back. The monster grunts and pulls you back using the weapon. Your tears were shedding from your eyes as fast as the blood that pours out from your wound.

Through the blur, you try to catch a glimpse of your lover. You had pushed back Emily to save her instead.

She was trembling on the ground. Petrified at the sight of you slowly getting killed. When you made eye contact with her, only did she regained her ability to move. She stood up frantically and reached out to you, hoping to save you too.

"No! Please, just go! Go!" You yell.

The doctor retracted her hand and only stared at you in horror. "No..no! Don't say that! I don't—I don't want to leave you!" She sobs, clutching her heart.

You can already feel yourself growing numb. And you fell to the ground. Only to be picked up again by the creature. It withdraws it's sickle to the air, planning to strike you once more.

But before that, you let out your last words to your lover—one last eye contact before you never open your eyes again.

"Emily, I love you. Please, go. For me...?" The last part of your sentence ends in a whisper as the bone weapon comes in contact with your body once more.

But Emily only fell to her knees, releasing loud cries and sobs. She desperately calls your name only to never hear your voice and she cries louder.

The figure, after making sure you were dead, moves on with the pitiful woman.

But the doctor doesn't run away. She sniffs and looks up to the monster walking towards her with a bloodied weapon.

She closes her eyes as the sickle rise above her head.

Emily doesn't care if the gates of heaven doesn't accept her after death for the selfish sins she committed. She only wants to see you again.

— NAIB SUBEDAR

The sirens could be heard across the whole forest as you and Naib rush to the gates. All ciphers that was meant to be decoded has been completed and the exit gates are finally unlocked. You could feel hope growing in your whole body as it motivates you to run faster.

You and Naib were running hand in hand. Despite fatigue taking over your aching bodies, your desire for survival fuels the both of you to keep running.

When all of you were first introduced to the game, you thought it would be easy enough with only the environment posing as the only problem. That was until a hook missed you by an inch and destroyed the tree beside you instead. Thanks to Naib's fast reflexes, he managed to drag you away before you could get grabbed.

The two of you focused your eyes on the source and saw a pair of big glowing eyes staring back at the two of you. The faint glow of the moonlight that passed by the gaps of the tree leaves illuminate it's silhouette and you can make up the huge antlers and the shape of a deer head.

Your optimism made you want to think that it's only a regular deer. But it pulled back it's hook and charged towards you.

That is why you and the mercenary are running this fast across the forest. Bear traps are everywhere and you can't count how many times you were almost caught in one.

Finally reaching one of the gates. You noticed that it's already open. William is waving excitedly at the sight of the both of you safe. He waited for you guys, how nice. Perhaps it's no surprise that Naib spared him.

You guys could finally get out of this terror.

Apparently you were a few steps away from escape to say that.

When you crossed the gate doors, you were suddenly pulled back. The hook clamps around your waist tightly that it feels like it's crushing your organs, resulted to you crying from pain—and fear.

Your lover couldn't grab you in time and the last words you heard were the frantic shouting of your name, the last sight you see is Naib chasing after you and the deer beast's weapon crashing down on your head.

It all happened too fast. Before Naib could even go back to save you, the exit gates has unexpectedly closed.

He bangs on the metal doors alone. He hits it numerous times and attempts to pry the door open from it's narrow gap. He tries even if his fist and fingers were bleeding. William has already ran away from fear. The mercenary is left alone with no one to ask for help.

He yells your name, asks if you're okay and panics harder when there's no response.

Naib kicks the doors, punches it, use any object around him for it to open. He could do all that but he couldn't save you. And that is something he still refuses to accept.

— ORPHEUS

It was only a moment before those beings catch up with all of you.

Previously, you, Orpheus, and a little girl were running and avoiding the creatures who chased you guys relentlessly on sight. They attempt to grab you like they are demons wanting to drag you down to hell with them.

The three of you run and run with no precise destination. Only with the plan to stay safe and be away from those creatures.

You glance back to see if they are still chasing you and see that they are no more.

"Orpheus, they're gone!" You exclaim.

Although this is probably a momentarily relief, you are still grateful that you managed to escape from them.

But you became confused when Orpheus halted running and hectically gets away from you, taking the little girl with him.

You halt running as you stare at them in perplexity.

Orpheus looks around the area, panicked. Once you take a step towards them, they look at you with terror in their eyes.

"Guys, what's wrong?" You ask them.

But instead of answering your question, they took off running—leaving you behind.

You hurriedly catched up to them, even more confused than before. You looked around once more to see if those creatures were following you again but none of them is spotted. So what made them run away?

You admit, you were hurt that Orpheus would just leave you behind like that. He's your lover after all. Who wouldn't be hurt if their beloved would just leave them like that?

You call out to Orpheus while trying to catch up with them. But they ignore you and kept running.

Eventually, you managed to corner them. Finally, you can ask them what's wrong.

"Honey, Orpheus. What's wrong? Is there something out there that I'm not seeing? And why did you leave me?"

He only backs up closer to the wall of the small building you cornered them to. His arms wrapped around the little girl to shield her—from you.

Your confusion becomes concern. Why are they acting like this. As if you're the danger?

You could notice how tense your lover looked. His jaws are clenched and so is his fists. His eyes were mad. But the novelist was glaring at no one but you. Yet you can't think of anything that he could be mad about.

Before you can ask again, a force hits you and knocks you to the ground.

You cup your now bruised left cheek and blood drips from the corner of your mouth. Looking up, you find that it was none other than Orpheus that hit you.

He cuts off your question once more with another punch. He straddles you and punches you repeatedly. It feels like he was using a rock to split your skull open.

You call out to him but he is too deep into the adrenaline to hear you. The cries of his name fall to deaf ears. Your face and body becomes littered with bruises and black eyes. You attempt to grab or block Orpheus' arms to stop him instead but he was too strong—too determined to kill you. And that terrified you. You would have never thought that it'd be your lover that would kill you.

That's not what you want. So, you kept trying. Even though your body can't handle moving anymore, even if your throat can't yell anymore, you try because you don't want to die like this.

But it doesn't matter how much effort you put. Death will always be the one to decide in the end.

You call the novelist's name one last time—barely above a whisper by how weak you are already. And then, with the face of your lover full of hatred staring back at you being the last sight you see, your body goes completely limp and your eyes close for eternity.

When Orpheus noticed the lack of movement, he stopped. Panting and reliving his victory against a monster. But when he blinked, he was horrified to see that it was your bloody and beat-up image that came to view.

He swore it was a beast! It was what he saw—what he killed, not you!

Orpheus stares at your corpse petrified from shock. And soon after, he lets out a bloodcurdling scream.

He sobs and heaves at the realization that the blood on his hands was not the blood of a monster, but the blood of his lover.

The novelist's worse nightmare came true by the hands of none other than himself.

[ This is my first time writing something like this so it might not be that good. I felt like writing angst, so I did. Idk if I did a great job though. Still, I hope you enjoyed reading it! ]

[meowtwinkles]

hear me out: regressor Naib from Identity V

Oh my gosh... he would be an absolute sweetheart!

Regressor! Naib Subedar₊˚⊹♡

♡ He seems like a toddler regressor to me, not too verbal, but will babble here and there with a smile :D

♡ Naib would be a little more hyper as a little. He would jump around and flail his arms to get his wiggles out.

♡ Not to mention, he'd have his own baby plate full of all kinds of sweets and treats prepared for him :>

♡ I like to think naib would wear colourful oversized sweaters and silly bandaid to hide the scars from his past + Current ones from matches in the game.

♡ He has a small bag full of candy and gives a piece to anyone he comes across with in the Manor.

♡ Little Naib would probably despise sleepy time. As much as his body needs the rest. He's fighting so hard to stay awake. Stubborn when it comes to bedtime putdowns.

♡ fluffy earmuffs/headphones to block out any unwanted noises!

[tsaritiz]

All Identity V references (or easter eggs) to popular culture found.

Some are taken from theories of fandom others are found by me.

Martha Remington as the surname taken from the typewriter brand "remington" (also curious beacause in the game you have to decode typewriters)

Doctor, Emily Dyer is inspired by Amelia Dyer a british serial killer who killed lots of young children while beyond her cares.

Helena Adams references to Helen keller, a blind def woman who were a full-time activist.

Priestress (Fiona Gilman) references to HP Lovecraft's story "The dream in the witch's house."

The Magician references to Servais le roy, the creator of the illusion technic of levitation.

[chalksculpture]

Do you think naib subedar would celebrate pri demon th

im a pansexual naib believer if that answers your question at all . im also a nortnaiber

[turbulentscrawl]

hiii!!! could i maybe get a matchup?

i go by all pronouns and im currently questioning :3 (so perferrbly match me with a male? its all up to you though!)

Im an INTP, 6w5, my love language (giving) would probably be something like acts of service and words of affirmation and receiving would probably be gift giving and quality time. I'm into singing, cooking (i make soul ascending grilled cheeses/melts), color/winter gaurd (flag dance/normal dance, usually performed at school football games or in competition), and unusal history (like history not normally talked about in a classroom)!!! A couple of dealbreakers would be instigating my anger issues or comparing me to others through appreances, tastes, personality…etc.

In life I've been trying to aim into getting into the law field, but if that doesn't work out I'm considering going into hospitality or culinary. I have been told I'm an extreme perfectionist and I shut down if I feel like I don't do good enough, I have a bad memory and I have issues talking about things I enjoy that may be 'out of the norm', I have something called 'older sister syndrome', which bleeds into the previous mentioned anger issues and perfectionism

regarding appearance, im very pale with dirty ginger hair (maybe a little darker…? im not very sure) and i have a lot of freckles!! My usual aesthetic is acubi but I love wearing friendship bracelets that might make no sense with the outfit im wearing lol! I'm also really big into artists like PinkPantheress and Mitski !!!

I ship you with Naib Subedar!

-Naib’s seen some shit, and handles tension well, so your anger issues are pretty much a non-issue. And frankly, he’s a little hot-headed too, so he understands the struggle. Even if you get riled up and point it in his direction, he can shrug the majority of it off without much issue. He will expect an apology later, though, depending on how far you take things.

-While you’re a perfectionist, Naib is a realist, and I think you could both benefit one another in this regard. Naib can help draw back your self-imposed expectations a bit so you aren’t as hard on yourself, and you can remind Naib that he’s allowed to reach for the stars sometimes.

-He’s an only child to a single mother, so he doesn’t get the “Eldest Sister Syndrome” thing, but he’s very protective and inclined to stick up for you even when you won’t do it yourself. Like, he gets the fear of disappointing people, but you’re a sister not a parent and you shouldn’t be saddled with unfair expectations just because of when you were born. It’s not healthy, and he considers it his job to look out for you now. In all regards.

-Once again, he’s a walking trashcan. You liking to cook is a godsend. Fuck yes he wants a bomb-ass grilled cheese, do you even have to ask?

-I think you’d both look good in that acubi aesthetic! Power couple, anyone? He cringes a bit at the bracelets but he’d wear one if you really insisted….

[anyagdugwak]

Short drabble for my dumbass poly ship of Emily, Naib and Eli LMOA.

tw/ mentions of death, though not really specified

---

Emily Dyer and Naib Subedar, the doctor and the mercenary. Nobody had expected them to become so close, seeing as there nearly is never a time when Naib isn't angry and Emily just doesn't seem to be someone that would befriend a troublemaker like Naib.

Well, everyone except Eli.

The seer sees many things, especially with his gift. And well, people tend to lower their guard when they see that it's just his owl, Brooke Rose, around, not knowing Eli can see them if his owl can. He's seen it, the way Naib would relax and seem less angry at the world when Emily is with him, sees the way the doctor would gently, gently care for Naib's wounds, a soft reprimand on her lips as she slowly wraps the worst ones up.

Their interactions remind him of the days before he was trapped in this manor, when he would take care of his fiancé, because Gertrude had always been such a head strong woman and she never backed down from a challenge.

Just thinking of her, and seeing the doctor and mercenary, it makes his chest ache with despair and loneliness. Was his Gertrude okay? Does she know that, even after all this time, Eli still thinks of her? Did she... Marry someone else?

When those thoughts circulate in his head, he wishes that, perhaps, he could partake in the interactions of Emily and Naib, just so that he won't feel as hopeless as he usually does. It's one of the reasons why he continues to watch them, so he can pretend that he's there with them instead of Brooke, can pretend that it's his hair that Emily gently pets when she notices the owl, or even the one who Naib carefully holds against his chest when he falls asleep on Emily's bed.

Eli wants many things, and he knows that most of them can't come true.

Which is why he's confused when Emily calls for him one night, when his chest was full to bursting with frustration and grief as he and his team lost to the hunters once more, that he sent his warnings too late, that he couldn't move faster, that he was the only one who managed to get away–

And just this morning, as if taunting him, the manor owner sent him a letter that Gertrude has passed on, having never married because she was waiting for him, that she truly believed Eli would come back to her. And so she died alone, wondering why he never came back.

"Eli." The doctor's soft voice pulls him out of his reverie, and he's surprised to feel his blindfold soaked through with tears.

"Oh, Eli." Emily pulls him close, tucking him into the crook of her neck, and she smells like antiseptics and clean linen and something distinctly her that Eli just couldn't stop the tears from flowing once more, sobs wracking his frame as he brings his arms up and crushes Emily against his chest, wailing his despair into her shoulder.

"Just let it out, Eli." He hears her murmur, and he belatedly realises that she's petting his hair. "I'm sorry."

And somehow, that makes him cry even harder. He's glad she didn't tell him that everything was going to be fine, because they both know that nothing will be ever be fine again unless they find a way out of this manor.

"She was waiting for me." Eli tells the doctor, voice shaking as he holds onto her. "She was waiting and I, I never came back and she was alone and–"

Emily holds him tight, before she starts to pull him up the stairs, never once letting him go. It's a little awkward going up the stairs wrapped in each other like that, because Eli is significantly taller than Emily, but they get up there just fine. She leads him back to her room, which surprisingly smells like vanilla, and carefully pushes him onto the bed.

He falls, bouncing a little on the plush mattress, before he feels a hand brush against his cheek, fingers tracing his blindfold, as if asking for permission.

Shakily, he nods, and the hand pulls it off, and he's greeted with Naib's grim expression. Brooke is hooting lowly as she alights on the bedside table, and Eli swears that even she looks apologetic and sad. His owl had known Gertrude as well, so perhaps she was mourning his late fiancé as well.

"Come on, let's get you into more comfortable clothes." Naib says, handing him what looks to be an oversized nightgown. "Sorry, it's Emily's. It's the only thing that would fit you."

Eli doesn't really care about what clothes he's wearing, so he merely shrugs and slowly changes his dirty clothes with the soft, blue nightgown. Emily is nowhere to be seen, which makes Eli a little confused, but he decides not to think too deeply about it, because his fiancé's death is still forefront in his mind.

Naib doesn't try to make him talk, but the smaller man does sit close to him; a quiet show of support. Eli is too tired for tears and is slowly nodding off when Emily comes back, carrying a tray with three bowls of piping hot stew.

"I asked Andrew to make some for us," the doctor explains. "Let's eat before we sleep."

"Don't think too much about it," Naib whispers. "If Emily wants something, she'll find a way."

Andrew rarely cooks for anyone except his lovers, and said lovers usually gobble it all up so nobody could have a chance to taste the man's ("Godlike," Edgar had sworn) cooking, so Eli is a little surprised that Emily managed to snag some of it.

And, well, Eli can't exactly refute that. He's seen Emily on the grounds after all. The doctor sets the bowls on a low table, waving the two men forward when she's done. For the first half, they're silent, carefully eating the stew. By the time they're finished, Eli feels less like death and more like himself again, albeit still heartbroken.

"Um, thank you." He mumbles. "For, uh, everything."

"We care for you, Eli." Emily says, reaching out to pat him in the head. "I can't leave you alone when you looked as if your entire world had just shattered right in front of you."

"You don't need to talk about it." Naib adds, throwing his head back as he drinks his stew straight out the bowl. "We just want you to know that we're here for you, if you need support."

Eli manages a few tears before Emily is softly shushing him, wiping his tears away as she leads him back to her bed. She slides in after him, and Naib occupies his other side, the two sandwiching him between them.

"Finally." The mercenary says, hugging as he sidles up close. "I was wondering when I can cuddle with you for real and not just your owl."

Eli blushes. So they knew he'd been watching.

"Naib, hush." Emily says, swatting the mercenary. "Eli, are you okay with us cuddling you? We can always make room if you don't want to."

"Please." Eli practically whimpers. He wants to be comforted, and knowing that Emily and Naib are willing to give it to him makes him feel just the slightest bit better. Naib immediately hugs him, head dropping against Eli's chest, while Emily pulls them both close, a hand brushing against Eli's hair and face, before dropping down onto Naib's.

"Sleep." The doctor says. "I'll watch over you two."

Not everything is okay, but cuddled close and warm, Eli thinks that maybe he'll be just fine.

Mercenary x Photographer

Naib x Joseph (NaibJos)

“One day, we will destroy each other...”

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Mr.Inference, do you think this plan will work out? Like really really really work out?”, Lady Truth, Emma Woods, is really concerned about what Naib just told them to do.

Naib takes one more look at his plan, then talks in a calm manner, “It might not be the best plan, but it is our only plan.”

“Are you sure? This is a very high risk plan! Like, the riskest plan i’ve ever seen from you!”, Emma said with little hope of convincing Naib to change his mind.

Unfortunately, Naib already sets his mind, “Without taking risks, there is no way to take him down.”

Emma reads the plan once more time, and still can not stop doubting about it, “We might die before being able to bring him down with this plan.”

“That’s why i’m putting myself in danger. I know that snake the most. I will have a better chance to escape just in case.”

“But, isn’t your leg...”, Emma can’t help mentioning about it, but Naib interrupts her.

“Enough talking. Prepare yourself. We will execute this plan tomorrow.”

The plan is going smoothly, until thing happens.

“Oh look who it is, if it isn’t my dear Inference. How is your leg these days? I remember it has a deep cut the last time we met.” A voice appears from the blackness.

Naib decides to stay and stall them. “Truth! Run! I will hold them back!”

“But...”, Emma is hesitated to go.

“Go! Now!”, Naib shouts.

Emma has no choice but leaving Naib behind.

When there are only two of them left, the real fight begins.

“Once again, you come back to me, Inference. Or, should i say, Naib Subedar.”, D.M says in a sing-song voice.

“Joshep!”. Naib shows a clear disgust when he hears that. He wishes he could punch that smug face so hard that it will need surgery. 

“Shall we dance?”, Joshep takes out his trusted one-handed blade.

Naib takes out the sword in his cane, “Of fucking course!”
