#Raptor Boy | CHURCH

[venalos]

Rubina could not lie; Church's disgruntlement was utterly hilarious. She succeeded in keeping herself from dissolving into uproarious belly laughter, instead stifling it down into another chuckle. This little fellow really was just a teenager, was he not? Rubina ruffled his hair again, this one just a little more affectionate over teasing; perhaps she was overstepping Church's boundaries by doing so, but she could not help herself.

She removed her hand from his head and turned her gaze forwards, momentarily lost in thought. For a moment she thought, perhaps she was experiencing the so-called 'empty nest' syndrome.

Rubina shook her head, instead focusing on the question Church presented her. She responded, "Yeah, you're right," patting Rex's shoulder for a third time. "He's been my best friend for, what, thirty years?"

"Thirty years," confirmed Rex.

"Yeah, thirty years," she beamed. "I think I was only eight-years-old when he hatched, and we grew up together. Really, he's more like a li'l brother to me."

Spark's disgruntlement did not go unnoticed, and Rex adjusted his wings to go from a soar to a slow glide. Then, in the tongue of beasts (something the Gendrome could surely understand), he growled, "Climb higher. My back is more stable."

"I wish!" Church said with a small huff. Beyond the bond common to all Riders, he didn't have any particular affinity for monsters, like Mari's 'monster sense.' And actually speaking to a monster? That might as well have been a fairy tale to him.

The young Rider grumbled in protest and scrunched up his face as Rubina ruffled his hair, but there was little he could do except take the teasing for the time being. Besides, he wasn't gonna argue with being called handsome!

"Your bond?" he echoed. "How long did that take? It had to be years, right?" As far as he knew, learning another language required a long time--and this seemed like it was on a whole other level. Maybe one day, he'd understand Sparks' chirps and barks...

But he could tell, even without that special gift, that the poor Gendrome was very unhappy with his current aerial predicament, groaning his displeasure as he clung to Rex's tail.

I’m not even sure whether I can taste pure Old Bay anymore, because the condiment is infused with so many memories of home. I grew up sprinkling it on everything—blue crabs, sure, but also watermelon, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese—and I can shuffle through decades of pictures from family reunions, county fairs, church picnics, and back porches where the iconic yellow, red, and blue tins keep popping up like someone’s second cousin, not quite front and center yet always in the frame.

If you’re new to Old Bay, get a tin and shake the contents liberally on popcorn or potato chips—a starter dish, from which you can and should expand. You’ll soon find that you can add the condiment to almost anything. One of my favorite dishes that uses Old Bay as an essential ingredient comes via an old family friend. Keith Davis is a Jack-of-all-trades: a fantastic general contractor, but also a church usher, a builder of wheelchair ramps, a Santa Claus when seasonally necessary, and, lately, a food-truck entrepreneur, grilling burgers and deep-frying funnel cakes for every community event and private party in the area. He goes by Mr. Keith; his food truck is known as Fat Boy’s Fixins, named in honor of the man who taught him to grill and whose Santa suit he inherited.

Of all the things Davis serves up, he might be best known for his crab soup, which he makes in ten-gallon batches and lets the local Ruritan Club sell by the pint every fall at the Waterfowl Festival, when somewhere between fourteen thousand and twenty thousand people descend on the Eastern Shore to see the work of hundreds of decoy carvers and local artists, listen to waterfowl-calling contests, and watch demonstrations of dock dogs, raptors, and fly-fishing. Davis is there every year, gossiping with his fellow-volunteers, talking with out-of-towners, and tossing hunks of crab meat into stew pots. Normally you’d have to shell out eight dollars for even just a cup, but here, exclusively for newsletter readers, free of charge, is the best crab soup you’ll ever taste, a shockingly easy, practically pre-made recipe for trying out America’s greatest condiment: Old Bay.

Mr. Keith’s Crab Soup

1 lb. crab meat (claw meat best) 64-Oz. bottle of Spicy V8 14.5 Oz. chicken broth 32 Oz. water 1 lb. mixed vegetables 1 Tbsp. Montreal Steak seasoning 1 Tbsp. Old Bay

Mix the V8, chicken broth, and water in a pot. Start heating the mixture, then add the vegetables, then the crab meat, and finally the spices. Cook on medium heat until the vegetables start to soften, stirring occasionally “so it doesn’t stick and burn on the bottom of the pot.”

House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 6 "Small folk" Thoughts

Just clarifying, these are my own thoughts, you don't like them, don't bother telling me so. Also, I'm not a book purist, I like adaptions taking putting their own spin on things - if it makes sense to do so. So, here were my thoughts. Obvs, this post is dark and full of spoilers.

Am I sad to say I was excited to see House Lefford? Give us more houses.

Jason ordering Aemond to come to him, it's just... my guy do you know Aemond? Are you serious?

Alicent got her cumuppence at the Council. I'm loving Olivia's portrayal of her fear and unease around Aemond.

Another Red Kraken Mention!!

I like that they let Aemond be smart at the Council and it lays the ground for him leaving King's Landing.

Ewan Mitchell's lil mmms are such a great character tic

Alicent, you're giving Serena Joy Waterford and it's not a good look on you

Corlys taking his place as Hand, there's so much in it, you can see he's sort of like I got all the power I wanted but... The cost.

Oh great now we're just making up Targaryens. Ryan, wtf

Why didn't they use this as an opportunity to introduce the other Valyrian houses? House Celtigar?

PADDY

As glad as I am to see Viserys and Daemon scenes, I'm so done with Daemon at Harrenhal. Why couldn't we get him wandering the Riverlands actually doing something? Introducing new houses and such? New places?

Simon being so kind to Daemon, this isn't the first time that somebody went mad around him.

CARAXES MY BABY

These are the scenes we should have at Harrenhal, Daemon and Alys plotting and discussing magic

I loved the Seasmoke scene. You can really sense the awe in which they hold the dragons but also the true danger of them. It's something I never felt in GoT. Also Seasmoke was side-eyeing Steffon like one of the raptors in Jurassic Park, that man was going to be a snack from the outset

Jace shouting Mother as they watch Steffon burn... Oh the irony

Dyana scenes.

Slap that old man, Rhaenyra. Slap him

Rhaenyra and her sword = Visenya

Mysaria as Rhaenyra's mistress is so special to me. Canonically bisexual Rhaenyra.

Larys, you're about as subtle as a fart in church

Aegon and Aemond scenes. Ewan and Tom play them so well. Aegon holding the lil ball, remembering his lil boy

Rhaena is going to be Nettles. That's no Morning, no reason for Daemon to fight Aemond, nothing.

Oh lil Stormcloud 😍

Disliking Jeyne Arryn. Why did they do her as an expy if Lysa?

Also, how is Rhaena going for a walk in the Eyrie? Did they wynch them down for a jaunt?

The Gay Abandon 😭😭😭

Addam and Alyn discussing their dad. Why does Corlys not pay Addam any mind? What happened there?

Where is Marilda of Hull???

Jace giving Mysaria the "I'm not calling you mom look"

Alicent with Aegon, the miscommunication, ugh the tragedy

Gwayne being a good brother to Alicent, these are the relationships we want to see complicated but expressive

Daeron mention. He's kind. (tell that to Bitterbridge)

Both Hightower siblings looking at Criston like 👁️👁️

RIOT! RIOT! RIOT! EAT THE RICH

I love Helaena's fringe tiara.

Helaena's panic, Alicent defending her daughter. The SPIKES

It's the same carriage from Rhaenyra and Alicent's first scene, she still has it 😭

Daemon was hoping that kid killed his grandad, he was like "maybe that kid is alright"

#GETDAEMONOUTOFHARRENHAL2024

Seasmoke was choosing his own man like a mid-season Bridgerton

Seasmoke reminds me of my cat.

Apparently all dragons have stealth mode.

GAY WE GOT GAY

Rhaenyra's little "yes he does that" when they tell her about Seasmoke is me when my sister complains the cat is trying to sit on her shoulder.

I love asking fun facts about... well, everything

So I'll ask a very general question: do you have any fun fact about your characters that you want to share? :3

What a good question boy :³

Well, it's about Raptor and Mark, their fighting skills involve hypervelocity, and their bones have special magical joints to prevent them from getting hurt

Jasar himself isn't afraid of loud sounds, what he's most afraid of is going deaf , since once he heard an explosion without his hood on and he stayed deaf for half an hour, it was very desperate and angst

Shady, but mentally speaking, Yosa is more intelligent than we think

Nishiki's breed doesn't cry with tears, biologically they can't shed tears

Finally, Jasar cannot enter a church because he burns ._.

Underblood belongs to me

Bone Saints

I wonder what the first men of the church to find prehistoric bones thought. What went through their heads as they gazed upon bones that defied all reasonable expectations? Femurs the size of a man. Knuckles the size of a woman’s fist. Teeth the length of an arming sword. What else could such things be but

Holy?

Divine, biblical?

Some bones were attributed to monsters. To the Antediluvian Giants, or to the fearsome gauls that crashed against Rome, or to the serpents that God had to lay low. That last interpretation isn’t far from the truth: What else is a meteor if not an act of judgement, whether cosmic or ordained?

But some bones were closer to human than monster. Large, yes, and old, and heavy, and all these other descriptors, yes- but the knuckle of some great raptor looks remarkably similar to the knuckles of that peasant boy taken by a stray arrow. Put the two side by side after the crows have had their fill and you can almost imagine the knuckles belonged to the boy. Maybe, given enough time, and food, and space, and fervor, and, and, and- maybe he could become that which those men of the cloth believed they had found.

Saints.

It sounds comical, knowing what we know about the suspected shape of the creatures whose bones the soil turned skyward. Scales and feathers, razor teeth and wicked claws and vibrant colors garbed in church white. A halo suspended atop a gore stained head. Gold capped teeth set in the jaws of an apex predator. But what else could they think?

What else could these bones, these relics stained and fossilized and carbon dated by millennials of age be, if not.

Well.

I wonder if human is the appropriate word. After all, is not the goal of every saint a separation of humanity? To shed one’s flesh, to slough off sin stained and forgiveness scented skin in favor of wings? In favor of fire? 

Did those first men ever ask themselves, 

“Where are the wings? Where is the fire?”

“Why is it here?”

The church reburied the bones of these Newly Found and Hastily Named Saints in the graveyards and catacombs and holy sepulchers of worship and prayer. Right across from the peasant boy who no one remembered, killed by the pox that had ravaged his town, found gutted and naked by the side of the road. Was he a saint, in the end? Did he feel the presence of the Bone Saints, lying next to him? Or was it all dark?

I wonder- if it all ends like they say, fire and brimstone and all that, will the Saints get one last chance to see the world? 

There, look honey! It’s Saint Peter, right next to Saint Nicholas!

And Saint Stegosaurus!

And Saint Mammathus!

Would their halos fit their heads?

Or is Saint-hood a “one-size-fits-most” situation?

Super Mario Bros movie? There was already a Super Mario Bros movie and it was this shit 28 years ago

This shit. Mario and Luigi are two plumbers in Brooklyn. Their names are Mario Mario and Luigi Mario. The movie fucking starts with a woman leaving a baby on the doorstep of a Catholic Church. But the baby?

It’s a fucking dinosaur egg. You know who’s in that egg?

Daisy.

Here are some other abysmal screenshots from this nightmare of a movie

This is Yoshi.

Can you imagine.  Can you imagine.  Can you imagine being a little eight year old child and getting so excited checking out the vhs at your local blockbuster video because it says “SUPER MARIO BROS” on the cover and you are just so hype because super mario bros are your favorite thing ever.  and then you pop that bad boy into the vcr and you get this

What is this.  What the fuck is this.  They don’t even look related.  Why does everyone have guns.  Why is the entire premise of this movie that there’s an alternate reality where dinosaurs have taken over Manhattan.  Why is Princess Daisy directly descended from those dinosaurs.  Why is Princess Peach nowhere to be found.

And you continue to sit through the entire movie because you’re eight years old and your parents put it on to keep you quiet in the next room and you don’t know how to stand up and turn it off or ask for your parents to come get you, so you just keep watching it while hiding under a table not sure what’s happening and why mario looks like the kind of dude your parents tell you to deliberately not approach and why luigi looks 20 years younger than him even though they’re supposed to be brothers and why everyone has guns and why everyone is a human and there are no fun little mushrooms or colors or animated creatures anywhere to be seen.

And you are thinking to yourself sure. Okay.  Maybe they’ve taken some artistic license.  But there’s no way they’ll fuck up Yoshi.  Yoshi is a dinosaur and he’s green and round.  He has to be animated.  And they’ll go into the alternate dimension and it’ll be the super mario bros I’ve been knowing and expecting.  And then you get to the Yoshi and it’s this knockoff raptor Jurassic-Park lookin’ ass.

This is Bowser, I guess.  But they called him King Koopa and he was also like, President Koopa and the whole thing had a really weird NYC business city thing going while also just throwing in dinosaurs I guess because koopas are vaguely dinosaur shaped??  But they have shells??  Absolutely nothing about this was recognizable to me in my eight year old mind and I was too young to know how to process that information.

I thought I hallucinated this. I thought it was a bad dream. I wanted it purged from my mind. I cried while it was playing, I cried when it was over.  I have not stopped crying since the day this accursed movie entered my mind.  And every day has been a living hell since.

One Master to Rule Them All

Likes:

Dislikes:

Heroes, annoying things, his commands ignored by his minions, his privacy being violated

Info

At first glance, Klein seems to be a normal human. But he’s actually an infamous villain in villain community, well-versed in both science and magic. Klein debuted as a villain in a fight against Rangers in Super Sentai when he was only 13.

Klein has a butler, Cedric, who was Barbatos’s schoolmate at Butler Academy. Cedric multiple times prevented the demon butler from looking into Klein’s background back in season 1, seeing this as a breach of his Master’s privacy. Cedric isn’t a demon, but some kind of ethereal being, who took a male adult form to serve beside Klein. According to Cedric, he’s one of the weakest of his kind.

Due to having no self-control, Klein dates all Seven Brothers, the Royals, the Sorcerer, and the Angel. However, he fell for Lucifer first since the first time they met, and Lucifer’s still his favorite. The fact’s only known to him and the eldest. Klein’s enemies call him a man whore for this reason.

Klein’s minions are very variable, demons, robots, mutants, etc. About 30% of Little Ds swore loyalty to Klein, instead of Diavolo.

Being well-versed in science and magic, Klein realized how insignificant he was. So he decided to return to Christianity (he was born in a Christian family, however, he became lapsed when he was a teenager). Despite that, the dude is still evil. At least, he’s generous to the Church, the poor and needy.

Sins

Pride - dude here is prideful like a peacock

Greed - loves wealth; owns like 20+ illegal businesses, including selling monsters & weapons to criminals, selling prohibited substances, selling creatures in Red List, managing a black market, etc.

Envy - “It should have been ME”

Wrath - when a plan fails, nothing in the room survives

Lust - “man whore”-his evil enemies and some nasty demons

Gluttony - dude eats like a pig

Sloth - “5 more minutes, Cedric” ”Master, it’s already the 10th time you said that, please get out of bed.”

[fitzefitcher]

You think human paladins monopolizing their class identity is bad? At least the Zandalari, Draenei and Blood Elves still have some of their own influence in the class. I was in Drustvar with friends and it got pointed out that all these guys are technically druids, and one thing led to another. Once the NEs get their purple hands on druidism they strip the class's fantasy of any other cultural influence. Heck that is why Tauren Sunwalkers are even a thing, because their teachings turned their backs on half of the Tauren's culture of balance. Look at Moonglade, look at the druid order hall, the druid artifact weapons. Is there a "Talons of Gonk" feral artifact skin that replaces the cat with a raptor? NO. Damn Night Elves gentrify Druids to the point that other races that play the class don't feel like it is really part of their culture.

while I think how nelf druidism is presented in game could definitely be taken as the last vestiges of kaldorei imperialism rearing its ugly head (bc like it or not, even with azshara gone, even with the highborne gone, that sort of cultural bedrock of superiority does not go away overnight, and clearly hasn't; look how they treat the other denizens of kalimdor, i.e., tauren, furbolg, centaur, trolls, etc., at best like they're inherently better than them and so have to teach them to "live better" or at worst like they're little more than beasts, look at how badly they react to being told that they evolved from trolls, look at how their solution to every environmental problem is to just Throw A Forest On It even though the land has evolved past it and hasn't been that sort of biome in literal millenia) I don't honestly think a lot of it is intentional or deliberate? at least not on the nelves' part; this feels more like blizzard's approach to most things, which is to say, inherently imperialistic, bc we live in a world shaped and molded and broken by imperialism and colonialism, and it's part of every facet of how we live and grow and breathe. that being said, I don't think blizzard intended for this, either; them intending for this would imply that like. they actually thought it through, and. I have a hard time believing blizzard as a collective has ever thoroughly thought anything through to the end in their lives lmao

it's why the drustvar are Bad Bad Evil Natives with their Bad Evil Pagan Gods, and it was Good and Right that the kul tiran colonists killed them en masse until only the "good ones" remained, it's why the kyrians are designed to, without a single trace of irony, strip down and wash out any of their potential individuality and cultural identity, it's why the titans are portrayed as Good and Right for Taming the Wildness of Primordial Azeroth and putting their own Civilized Perfect People on the planet, and why it was Good for them to cull the old gods (who up until like. I wanna say legion? were heavily implied to be like, archaic nature gods that were inherently a part of the planet, and then, Nope, suddenly they're Evil Space Invaders) and to cull the old gods' creatures, who are by all accounts the native denizens of azeroth, it's why all the non-titan-created sentient species on azeroth are Stupid, Lesser Beastmen that Just So Happen to be coded as BIPOC, like, I could go on forever w examples like this lmao

anyway, I really feel u w the whole "nelves act like they fucking own druidism" thing, bc like. boy I sure am getting tired of the whole There Is Only One Kind Of Priest, And It's Human Of The Church Of Holy Light (troll hexpriest who? forsaken shadow priest? I don't know her)

[venalos]

"Ugh, thanks, mom... I mean Rubina!" He didn't say that, did somebody say that? Weird, couldn't have been him.

Blinks.

Did she hear that right? Did Church just refer to her using the magic word...?

Her lips slowly curled into a grin as realisation dawned upon both of them, and Rubina reached down to ruffle his hair for what had to be the dozenth time already.

"Aw, don't even mention it... son~"

Yeah, she was going to enjoy this for a long time.

“Don’t Speak Their Names” - Shrimpshipping fic Chapter 34

This chapter can be found here on AO3.

Chapter 34 - The Queen’s Wings 

~27 October 2007, early afternoon~

“Aww, you look cuuuuute!” Téa looked at the wedding outfit she, Serenity, and Mai worked hard to make for Weevil. The bug duelist’s colour scheme matched that of Metamorphosed Insect Queen - a royal blue tuxedo, the red tie and white frilled shirt from his Duelist Kingdom days, and an elegant veil resembling the Queen’s wings and crown. “I just wish I could be the maid of honour so I could hold this veil while you walk down the aisle. Mai, you’re so lucky.”

“For what it’s worth, you can be the maid of honour at my wedding,” Mai spoke while she inspected the veil and Serenity put the finishing touches on Weevil’s hair. “I want my veil to look just as amazing as my Harpie Lady’s wings. I just have to wait for that slowpoke Joey to propose already.”

“Yeowch! I’m sorry you’ve had to wait for my blockhead of a brother. ...There.” Serenity put a butterfly pin on the right side of Weevil’s hair. “You’re ready. Should we go, then?”

Weevil got into the front seat of the limo Mai drove while Camellia, Serenity, Téa, Ptera, Tricera, and the other bridesmaids got in the back seats.

But before Mai drove off, Weevil asked, “Hey, where’s Amber?”

“Daddy!” Amber nearly tripped while running to the limo, scattering a few of the flowers she carried in her basket.

“Whoa there, little lady!” Téa caught Amber before she could fall and picked up the flowers she dropped.

“Thank you, Auntie Téa!” Amber hugged Téa’s neck as she brought her in the limo that finally took off. Amber turned to Espa’s 16-month-old daughter, Artemis, and offered her a yellow rose. “Hey, Arte, you want this?”

“Flower! So pretty!” Arte grabbed the stem of the flower with her tiny toddler fingers.

“Aww…” Weevil smiled as he spoke to his daughter. “I picked the perfect flower girl.”

“And your stepcousin Mokuba picked the perfect flowers,” Camellia remarked. “And the perfect limo. And just about everything else.”

“Actually, Spinos picked the flowers. He paid for a good deal of the wedding too, you know.”

“Did he?” Ptera smiled at the thought of her former lover. “That was thoughtful of him.”

“Psst.” Espa leaned slightly forward to awaken Weevil from an apparent nap. “Weevil, we’re here.”

“Hmm… Wha-” Weevil saw everyone else already exiting the limo and making way for the extravagant displays by the famous Domino City T.V. “Thanks for reminding me! I’m glad you decided to ride with us instead of with Rex. Even though you’re a groomsman.”

“I couldn’t help it.” Espa carried Arte out of the limo and, once he met with his brothers, he handed her to the next oldest one. Mako soon joined them with Caesar, their son. “This cutie patootie wanted to ride with her best friend.”

“You’re such an airhead sometimes, Daddy!” Amber giggled as she walked down the aisle while throwing flowers.

“None of that smart mouth, young lady!” Weevil chided while he proceeded down the aisle, with Camellia by his side and Mai holding his veil. 

“Hehehe… She’s just like you when you were that age.” Camellia chuckled. “I remember it like it was yesterday.”

“You’re literally walking me down the aisle.” Weevil squinted; he could barely see the wedding awning, with lush greenery. “Do you really think this is the best time to reminisce about how I was a troublemaking toddler?”

“Yes, it is.” Camellia cried a little. “I lost eleven years with you… I’m so proud of how far you’ve come since then, my son.”

At the sound of Duke playing the church organs, the ceremony began in earnest, drawing attention from passers-by.

“Hmm?” One of Weevil’s opponents from Duelist Kingdom took notice of the bug duelist. “Oooh, it’s that nasty Weevil Underwood. And he’s… getting married?”

“We might as well stick around to see the unlucky schmuck whom he’s marrying,” replied the kid whom Weevil tricked in Battle City. 

“Mother, I can’t do this! I’ve rehearsed my vows, like, a thousand times and yet I think I’ve forgotten most of them already!” Weevil’s heart raced faster as he could now see his husband-to-be. Rex wore a tuxedo resembling Black Tyranno, and his chestnut locks were tied back with a dinosaur claw hair clip.

“Relax, sweetie,” Camellia reassured as she stepped back, now that her son had reached the T.V. “Remember, you’re the smartest guy in all of Domino City.”

Weevil stammered as he held Rex’s hands, with Mokuba about to start officiating the wedding. “Y-Yo, dude.”

“Pfft…” As best man, Joey stood behind Rex. “‘Smartest guy in all of Domino City,’ huh?”

“Shut up, Joey!” As if Weevil felt nervous enough, Joey’s teasing didn’t make it any better. “Or I just might sneak a caterpillar in your shirt when you get married!”

“Hey.” Rex squeezed Weevil’s hands tighter. “You know how Joey is. Just ignore him.”

“Dear friends, family, and citizens of Domino City,” Mokuba began the ceremony, which by this point had drawn a large crowd. The close friends and family of Rex and Weevil took their seats. The sun looked upon them from directly above, the sunlight glistening off of the awning’s flowers and the variety of insects crawling throughout it. “We are gathered here today to witness the union of Rex Leonidas Raptor and Weevil Henry Underwood in marriage. We welcome and thank each and every one of you for being a part of this wonderful occasion. As with their careers as duelists, their journey as a married couple will test and bring out the best in them. And just like their latest careers as duelists, they will face trials and tribulations, but always come out strong in the end. You are all gathered here because you have helped these two young men and have a bond with them, one way or another. As for me, I couldn’t be more proud that my cousin, Rex, has chosen me to officiate his wedding. The grooms have each prepared vows that they will recite now.”

“M-My turn!” Weevil piped up, much to the surprise of all. “I don’t need to rehearse to let all of Domino City know just how much I love you. I don’t need to rehearse to remember how united we are in our desire for revenge against several duelists. Particularly Yugi, Atem, and ESPECIALLY Joey.”

“ESPECIALLY me, huh?” Joey couldn’t help but laugh again. 

“Spoken like a true duelist,” Yugi spoke to his former other self.

“You said it, partner,” replied Atem.

“Aw, heck, Rex. I’ve prepared a handwritten speech for my salutatorian address. But on this day, I want to speak from the heart. Even now, I am still in awe that a ‘dung beetle’ like me is worthy of your love. While everyone in this city hated me, you were the only one to show me love all those years ago. Even after I went mad and tried to kill you, you still loved me. I am so grateful that we have found each other, and I vow to love you forever.”

“See? What did I tell you?”  Camellia winked.

“I bet I can outdo that. ” Rex smirked.

“Go ahead and try, dino brain.”

“Gladly, bug boy.” Rex took a deep breath before beginning his vows. “I am thankful for all the blessings we have, not the least of which is our adorable daughter Ambrosia. If not for Mai and her expertise, we wouldn’t have such a bundle of joy.”

“Aww, you’re too kind, Rex.” Mai sat next to Amber and Téa.

“Yet I haven’t always been kind; I’ll be the first to admit that I’m still as arrogant as they come. But several people have made me appreciate friendship more - not the least of whom is you, Weeves. You were my first friend, and I couldn’t be happier that we made that same dumb mistake of showing up to regionals prelims a day early.” This tale elicited several giggles from the crowd’s members, even from those who were not explicitly invited. “I had no idea that from there, I would quickly fall in love with that rich boy I met, and that he would be the man I swear my eternal love to on this day. Waiting those three years to confess my love was so worth it.”

“Hehe…” Weevil laughed in his signature way. “I think I win.”

“Yeah, right.”

“Even at the altar, you guys are still rivals. Let’s just say you both win.” Mokuba chuckled. “Now, will the ring bearer present the rings?”

“I think you’ll like who I chose for the ring bearer,” spoke Rex.

Between the husbands-to-be and in front of Mokuba stood a tan-skinned boy with spiky brown hair, red-violet eyes, and traditional ancient Egyptian garb. He can’t be older than two, Weevil reckoned. It can’t be… It’s Heka!

“As we begin the declaration of intent, I would like for each groom to place a ring on his partner’s finger. Rex Leonidas Raptor, do you take Weevil Henry Underwood as your lawfully-wedded husband? To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and not so good times, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?”

“I do.” Rex took the new ring - a rose-gold one with a thin sapphire band in the middle - and put it on Weevil’s left ring finger.

“And do you, Weevil Henry Underwood, take Rex Leonidas Raptor to be your lawfully-wedded husband? To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and not so good times, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?”

“I do.” The wedding ring Weevil gave Rex was similar to his engagement ring, but had two thin bands of dinosaur bone inlay.

The dinosaur duelist wore this new ring on his left ring finger, complementing the one he wore on his right ring finger. “You spend too much money on jewelry, bug boy.”

“If there are any objections to this union, speak now or forever hold your piece.”

“Who would object to these two cutie pies?” Joey noted.

“Even if I did, I wouldn’t do anything about it,” mumbled the kid who got his Dark Ruler Ha Des stolen all those years ago.

“Then by the power vested in me - Mokuba Kaiba, president and CEO of Kaiba Corporation - I now pronounce you husband and husband. You may now kiss the husband.”

“There’s that pretty face.” Rex lifted Weevil’s veil from his face.

“Come here, you Jurassic jerk!” Weevil seized Rex by the waist, tiptoeing slightly to kiss his new husband.

“I now present to you, Domino City, Mr. and Mr. Rex and Weevil Raptor!”

“So, the runner-up and champion of regionals got hitched, and with each other, no less,” Rex’s opponent at regional semifinals mused while Duke played “Sexyback” on the organ. “Who’d have thunk it?”

“I gotta admit that I kind of started shipping them after Raptor’s regional loss,” spoke the Battle City kid.

“ Which Raptor are you talking about, me or him?” Weevil overheard the boys.

“Um…” The boys were at a loss for words.

“Anyway…” Weevil held up his bouquet, full of peonies and red roses. “I’m wondering who will get lucky today.”

“Me, that’s who.” Mai brushed her hair back. “Then you’ll have to propose to me, Joey.”

“Nah, I’ll get it!” Téa declared as the bouquet flew in the air.

“Ladies, ladies…” Duke stepped forward. “You’re all wrong. I’ll-”

“Actually, you’re the wrong one, Duke.” Mako showed everyone the bouquet he just caught. “Looks like I’ll be getting married soon.”

“Aww…” Duke smiled. “Congrats, dude.”

“And I know just who it is I want to spend the rest of my life with.” Mako looked to Rex and Weevil, as if asking for permission, and the newlywed couple consented.

“M-Mako?” Espa’s eyes widened when Mako knelt in front of him, revealing a ring with a giant blue diamond encircled by several small green ones. “Oh… my gosh…”

“That is, if this cute psychic will say yes to my proposal.”

“Yes! Of course I do, Mako!” Espa continued to cry as his new fiancé put the ring on his finger.

“Yay!” Caesar hugged his mother’s legs. “I love you, Papa!”

“You… You guys…” Espa hugged Mako and their children.

“There’s still a lot of party left, you two.” Rex had to wipe his own tears of joy. “You’re all invited to the reception at the Grand Domino City Hotel. Naturally, there will be lots of dueling rooms there, and suites for the bridesmaids, groomsmen, and our families. So you know what that means.”

“It means I’ll squish the new Mr. Raptor?” Joey challenged.

“No, it means I’ll squish you. ” Weevil cracked his knuckles.

“I thought I was the one you were after?”

“Yes, you too, Atem. See you there.” And with that, Rex and Weevil got in the back seat of the wedding motorcade.

“Ah, there’s the happy couple,” spoke the driver as he started the ignition. “Ready?”

“Yes!” Both young men exclaimed at once.

“Wait…” Weevil squinted to get a better look at the driver. “Bakura?”

“My friends call me Ryou, but whatever floats your boat.”

The bandit king wasn’t kidding when he said he’d attend! Weevil thought, and the trio arrived at the hotel to find that the partying had already begun. But...

Rex noticed the pensive look in his husband’s face, even while they walked to the dining room, to which Tricera and Ptera hauled the wedding cake they made. “Baby, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Weevil shook off whatever confusing thoughts he was having, and instead diverted his attention to lighthearted conversations with people he once called enemies. After lunch, he took the cake cutting knife from Tricera and grabbed Rex’s hands. “Give me a hand, will ya? And don’t you dare make a ‘short-handed’ joke about my prosthetic arm.”

“You’ve already taken mine, pinworm!” Rex had a small bite of the cake before offering some to Kaiba and Atem, whom he barely even noticed. “Here you go.”

“Don’t mind if I do.” Atem offered Heka some cake before eating it himself.

“Um… I’m good for now,” Kaiba insisted as he rubbed his belly. “I haven’t felt hungry all day, but I’m sure I will later.”

“Hopefully there will be a later.” Rex watched Amber, Arte, and Heka chase each other in the dining hall. Atem tried to prevent Heka from using his newfound magic on anyone. Mako and Espa weren’t as successful at containing their own children; Arte could already bend spoons with her mind, and Caesar could be seen swimming butterfly in the nearby gym pool. 

“Ugh.” Espa whined. Caesar beat a high schooler in a short race, baring purple shark fangs in victory. “I knew I shouldn’t have let you talk me into a water birth, Mako. Both of our kids have shown their shapeshifter abilities already.”

“Caesar looks so much like my dad…” Mako beamed while he watched his son. “I’ll be darned if he grows up to be a better swimmer and fisherman than me.”

It took the intervention of all of Espa’s brothers to get the prodigious twins to stop. “I’ll give you one thing, our kids are already proving to be smarter than I was at that age.”

“Psst, hun.” Weevil whispered to Rex while Kaiba was distracted playing with Heka.

“What?” Rex spoke with a mouthful of cake.

“Why are Kaiba and Atem here at 22 years old, when just a couple of years ago, they were here at 37 years old? Do they even remember who we are?”

“Is that what you were confused about this afternoon? Please.” Rex took his and Weevil’s dishes to the dishwasher. “Haven’t I told you it’s better to not think so much?”

“You’re right.” Holding Rex by the hand, Weevil approached Kaiba and Atem. “Dueling speaks louder than words.”

_______

~16:00~

“Kaiba?” Rex looked past his Ultimate Conductor Tyranno and at his cousin. It was Kaiba’s turn, and Rex and Weevil were clearly winning the tag duel. “You don’t look so good. If you had told me, I-”

“How dare you underestimate Seto Kaiba? I reveal my trap Raigeki Break to destroy your Ultimate Conductor Tyranno!”

“Naw, that trap won’t be doing nothing. Not if my Jurassic Heart can help it. ...Anything else?”

“I… end my turn…” Kaiba clearly wanted to leave, but had too much pride to simply throw the match. “By the way, it’s ‘won’t be doing anything. ’ Learn proper grammar, rabbit stew.”

“Then I’ll end it quickly,” Weevil proclaimed. “I activate my Armored Bee’s special ability to cut your Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon’s attack points in half, then I’ll go in for the kill with my Battlewasp - Halberd the Charge!”

“So you’ve finally gotten your revenge on me, Weevil.” Atem clapped after he and Kaiba had lost. “Well done. What did you think of them- Huh? Kaiba, where are you going?”

Kaiba said nothing as he ran for the nearest loo. Right as he did, Joey walked up to Weevil, clearly wanting a duel from him. “Say, what happened to rich boy?”

Before Atem could follow after the Egyptian queen, Rex offered, “I’ll go check on him for you, Atem. You can cheer on your buddy Joey. He’ll need it.”

“Oh, I don’t think I will.” Joey climbed onto one of the dueling platforms. “But I would certainly love for Atem to see me squash this mosquito personally.”

“Bring it on!” were Weevil’s last words that Rex heard before making way for the loo Kaiba entered.

“Hey, Kaiba?” It didn’t take Rex long to find Kaiba and the loo he very loudly threw up into. “I was going to ask if you’re okay, but you’re clearly not.”

“Thanks, Captain Obvious.” With nothing left to throw up, Kaiba sat on the loo and pouted. “Anything else?”

Rex fished around in his pants pockets. “I was going to save this for myself, but I think you need it more.”

“What’s this?” Kaiba looked at the small box with the KaibaCorp logo Rex gave him; it had two pregnancy tests in it. “So KaibaCorp makes these now? And how bold of you to assume that just because I’m sick, that it means I’m pregnant. And you just so happened to be carrying these around? I don’t know whether I should laugh or cry.”

“Just take them, man. Please.”

“Hmph.” Kaiba slammed the stall door shut. “Fine. But just so you know, this is a waste of time, because I know I’m not pregnant.” About three minutes later, Kaiba opened the stall without looking up at Rex.

“So? How’d it go?” Rex asked. Kaiba only showed him the pregnancy tests in response; they both showed the word “pregnant” next to the number 16. “Well, well, well. I suppose some congratulations are in order.”

“...I guess I better go tell a few certain individuals the good news, huh?” Kaiba let Rex help him walk a short distance before he could walk on his own. “And Rex?”

“Yeah?”

Kaiba wrapped an arm around his cousin. “Thank you. You’re probably the only one other than Mokuba, the pharaoh, and Heka that I can tolerate.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment.” Rex gave Kaiba a few noogies before parting ways with him. “If you see my husband, tell him he can find me in our hotel suite.”

_________

~17:00~

“Phew…” Weevil hardly broke a sweat winning two duels in a row. But now he wanted nothing more than to take a break from the festivities before dinner, and made way for the hotel suite he rented with Rex. 

Weevil didn’t even have to get his card key before his husband opened the door and, still dressed in his wedding garb, spoke in a sultry voice, “Hey, baby. That was quite a long duel.”

“I wish you could have seen me turn that Joey into bug juice.” Weevil took off his veil and gently put it in the closet before wrapping his arms around Rex. “Amber is in the care of your father right now, so we have all the time to ourselves.” Weevil’s spider “ears” appeared. “And you know damn well what I want you to do to me.”

“Which is precisely why I did… this. ” Rex invited Weevil to come deeper inside the room to see the elaborate honeymoon setup. The first things Weevil noticed were the rose-scented candles planted throughout the room. Red roses floated in the sweet-smelling whirlpool bathtub. The towels next to it were folded in the shape of butterflies and dinosaurs, and had more roses around them. The bed had a spider silk canopy and a comforter with kissing swans on it. “Well, I can’t do art for shit, so the hotel maids folded the towels. But everything else was made by yours truly.”

“So you grew the flowers, too?”

“Aww, come on, bug breath. You know what I mean.”

“You hopeless romantic.” Weevil pinched Rex’s cheek before kissing it. “I could have done better.”

“Please, Weeves…” Rex undid Weevil’s bowtie. “Just this once, can we put aside the competition?”

“That’s rich, coming from you. ” Weevil removed Rex’s hair clip, running his fingers through the chestnut and lavender hair. “By the way, I’m kidding. You did great.”

“Aww, I’m glad!” Rex playfully kissed his husband’s cheeks, but when they got to the bed, his tone turned serious. He hummed into Weevil’s now-bare neckline, “Just so you know, I’m going to make love to you until all our friends downstairs complain about the noise we’re making.”

“Then… Hah…” Weevil completely half-shifted when Rex stripped him of all his clothes. “Then do it…. Or else I will take over.”

“If you rather would be the one on top, then you’re more than welcome to stop me from adoring you.” 

In response, Weevil eagerly tore off Rex’s tuxedo and shirt, while being mindful not to damage the expensive clothes. As soon as he did, Rex half-shifted as well. “Don’t you dare stop, Rex…” Weevil pulled Rex so close to him that their nipples rubbed together. The friction of Rex’s nipples and sweaty, warm body alone nearly brought Weevil to a full erection. “Don’t you dare stop.”

“Fuuuuuck…” While leaving hickies all over Weevil’s neck, Rex continued the nipple rubbing. He still occasionally breastfed Amber, so his nipples were especially sensitive. “I’m sorry, Weeves, but this… This just feels too damned good.”

“It does for me too, hun,” Weevil spoke between very deep kisses, getting a good taste of the takoyaki Rex ate a few hours prior. He snuck a hand down, feeling around for Rex’s cock before actually taking a hold of it and pumping it with his own. “And I hope this does also.”

“But you know…” Rex barely arose enough to be able to reach for a bottle of lube on the nightstand. “ This will make it even better. It’s a special lube that will arouse us more and make our orgasms more intense.”

“Oh, yeah?” Weevil let Rex spread the lube over his nipples and cock. 

“Well, what do you think?” Rex smirked as he continued to pump his and Weevil’s cocks together.

It didn’t take long for Weevil to feel the intensifying effects of the lube. “Oh… yes…”

“It’ll feel even better inside here. ” Rex’s fingers trailed from Weevil’s cock to his opening, which he massaged until Weevil shrieked loudly. “Looks like I’ve found your sweet spot, Weeves.”

“So fucking do something about it!” Weevil could hardly take this pent-up energy anymore.

“What did you think I was going to do?” Rex gave his husband’s ass a good slap before he mounted him. To his astonishment, Weevil grabbed Rex’s cock, guiding it into his opening while he took hold of his shoulders. “Ha- ha! You’re… really that hungry for me, aren’t you?”

“And… it’s not just the lube, either.” Weevil pulled Rex close enough, until Rex could feel his heartbeat running wild. “I… really do want to consummate this marriage.”

“So… do I...” Rex could hardly speak in between breaths as he pulled out, only to slam in again - and again, many times. Already, he knew that both he and his husband were about to come, but loved this sensation too much to let it end so soon. He held the base of Weevil’s cock firmly, caressing the head with his thumb. “So do I, Weeves…”

“L-Let go…” Weevil squeaked out after ten minutes of various sexual positions.

“What was that?” Rex hummed into Weevil’s ear.

“Goddammit, Rex, let me come already!”

Rex said not another word as the second he let go of Weevil’s cock, the both of them came long and hard, while Weevil held one of Rex’s hands to his pounding heart. “Can… Can you tell that I… hah… loved this?”

Rex let their orgasms ride out to completion before he pulled out, holding Weevil’s left hand to his heart, just like he did all those years ago. “Can you tell I loved it too?”

“Damn right I can…” Weevil pulled the comforter over him and curled into Rex, taking in his husband’s natural scent. “I wish I didn’t have biological needs to attend to. I just want to stay here all day, cuddling in bed with the man I just married.”

“For what it’s worth, Mom said she’d have dinner ready for us all in a few hours. And I made sure to specify to everyone that they don’t have to wear formal wear.” Rex looked Weevil in the eyes while stroking his mint green hair and planted a kiss on his forehead. “There will be so many more years of this, so don’t worry your pretty head about it.”

And so began the rest of Rex and Weevil Raptor’s married life together, naturally filled with takoyaki, bee larvae, and a hell of a lot of dueling.

Ko-fi commission - large male demon x female reader (sfw)

A commission for the truly lovely @diner who requested the following:

Obviously warnings for the loss of a beloved pet, but the rest is safe and fluffy. Also I love this new demon boy... ‘Keep reading’ was put in to save thumbs on scrolling, but it doesn’t appear to be working. Sorry!

___________________

The message tone barely registered as you closed the front door numbly behind you; no clack of claws, no little mewling welcome. Tears flooded and poured down your face in the gulf of deafening silence that met you on your return home from what was probably one of the hardest days of your life.

Taking a deep, shuddering, gulping inhale, you reached into your bag and pulled out your phone to reveal, through blurred vision, a text from one of your oldest friends.

Hey, sweets, he began, and you could hear his gravelly voice as you read the words. I’m going to be back in town tomorrow and you’re absolutely the first person I have to catch up with and see - want to come out for drinks tonight?

Raym was a demon, true, but he had always been good to you; in fact, he had saved your life way back when, and that was how you’d first come to know him. He travelled the world, ostensibly in the guise of an antiques dealer and antiquarian of sorts, but every year like clockwork he would come back to the place where he’d saved your life, and he’d meet up with you.

In the meantime, the two of you kept in touch by email - what a profoundly mundane method of communication for a demon, you had once remarked - and he shared updates on his travels with you, even risking stepping on holy ground to photograph the great churches and cathedrals of Europe for you, knowing you had a passion for ancient architecture. Yes, Raym was a sweetheart, and you adored him; not that he necessarily knew that.

Sure, you replied. Shame it’s not today though - I sure could use a drink and a hug right about now.

Instantly, a message winged its way back to you: Everything ok?

And in the way that that question has of prompting the dam to burst, you began to cry again. Once you’d reined yourself in, you bashed out a response that told him everything.

Oh shit, he texted back instantly. Sit tight - where are you?

I just got home, you sent, and barely had the little ‘whoosh’ sound effect played than darkness billowed in the corner of your hallway and Raym staggered out of it, blinking and looking around a little dazedly until he saw you standing there.  

He was huge, easily nine or ten feet tall, standing on his great clawed, animalistic hind legs, his grey skin rippling over thick leg muscles, and a long, raptor-like tail balancing him behind. He never bothered to hide himself around you, though he could glamour himself to look human if he chose, and you loved him all the more for it.

“Hey,” you said with a watery smile that you didn’t feel.

“Oh sweets, I’m so sorry,” he said, stretching out his massive, muscular, taloned arms as wide as your narrow hallway would allow, “C’mere.”

His wings of pure darkness spread out behind him, intangible and impenetrable as ever, cocooning you in a blanket of safety and comfort, and his beast like head loomed over you as you flung yourself into his warm embrace. Nowhere had ever felt safer than in Raym’s arms. His head was adorned by huge, heavy, glittering, black horns that curled like a ram’s around his expressive, almost caprine ears, and his top canines poked out under his lips in a way that you’d always found kind of goofy. He was like a huge gargoyle, and he’d always kept your own demons at bay, that was for certain. His body was soft and warm, and he picked you up and carried you into the sitting room and eased his massive body down onto the couch. He stroked your hair with his talons that were frankly as long as your whole hand was from palm to fingertip, and began to rumble softly.

“Shh,” he said, “I know how much he meant to you. It’s alright to be sad, but I’m here: it’s ok.”

“Thanks, Raym,” you sniffled. “It hurts so much…”

“I know,” he said, laying his massive, paw-like hand down on your chest just below your collarbones. The span of his clawed fingers engulfed almost your entire chest, and the sheer weight of it steadied your heartbeat and your erratic breathing. “I know, I can feel it,” he said. “Let me take it from you.”

You shook your head, and he sighed.

“Ah, but you’re a tough one,” he smiled, bringing his blunt, velvety muzzle to your forehead and kissing you gently. “I’ve always loved that about you.”

“Stay?” you asked weakly as he cradled you in his arms.

“As long as you need,” he said. “And if you like, I’ll take you with me next time.”

“Where are you headed?” you asked. “And why is there sand in your coat?” You reached up and brushed the soft fur which covered his face, shoulders, and most of his torso. He wore a cloth around his midsection, but honestly, not much else.

“Paris is my next trip, but you’ll never believe where I just came from,” he laughed. Guilt shot through you at the thought that he had dropped everything and materialised halfway round the world to be with you, but he chuckled softly and bopped you on the nose with a fingertip. “Stop that,” he said. “Stop over-thinking everything - I came because I love you. Now, let me distract you with tales of hidden rock tombs and the underground cities of Cappadocia.”

It worked, for the most part, and you let your exhaustion sweep over you while his rich, deep, gravelly voice regaled you with stories of endless tunnels, secret passageways, and the history of a millennium.
