#She wants to be very much 'I got this I don't need anything' but she's also like 'Go at me you can't break me but please try'

I hope your doing well and DO NOT overwork yourself im begging you🙏

Anyway

🌌💜💗LOVE YOU💗💜🌌

MOON-BESTIEEE, I've missed you too /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~ LOVING THE REQUEST, as a chubby girly with thick thighs I approve. ~(￣▽￣)~*

(TFP) Autobots & Decepticons w/ Cybertronian!Reader who is THICC

WARNINGS: Kind of suggestive. Reader is a cybertronian, gender neutral and with a predetermined frame type: bigger body type, thick thighs, aft and big chest. Romantic leaning (reader is in a relationship with the bots: individual).

OPTIMUS PRIME

He can't help but sigh in love whenever he sees you - you are a walking dream with such a precious frame that not only makes you look attractive, but shows off your strength.

Whenever Optimus gets the chance to hold you, he finds comfort on leaning his helm against your chestplate or thighs. He always asks if its okay, of course! (Melts whenever you coo at him or caress his helm.)

Even when you two are already together, Optimus is quite shy and can't help but get all timid and blushy around you. A big shy nerd and his badass big conjux.

BUMBLEBEE

Another shy mech, but a little bit more brave to show his affections towards you. Loves to snuggle his faceplate against yours and hug you.

Bumblebee always plays your fave Earth music and dance with you (may or may not have once played Baby's got back by Sir Mix-A-Lot.)

Once it's night time and you two are all alone, Bee begs to have you sit on his lap and let him keep his servos on your hips or thighs and touch, grope and caress. Loves to beep praises to you and how pretty you are.

RATCHET

Thicc thighs save lives and he knows it.

Ratchet is both a tsundere that is quick to get all embarrassed (and needy) whenever you show off your frame and a pro at flirting and knowing what to say to make you melt.

Any little insecurity you have about your big frame is met with his sincere and energetic praising. He is ready to kiss you down and remind you why your frame is perfect.

May or may not want to have your thighs crush his helm wHO SAID THAT

ARCEE

Sits on your lap or has you sitting on her lap. (She can take it, don't worry!!!)

Gets all flustered whenever you carry her around. "Your frame is perfect to carry around, Cee!" - and you then are met with all the praises and compliments in the world from her.

Arcee is ready to go after anyone who is mean and tries to say something bad about your big frame - you are perfect! And as the Pits she will let anyone say anything bad about it!

If you are comfortable with it, she will always keep her servo on your hips, thighs or aft.

BULKHEAD

A mech with a big frame with a significant other that is also a big frame? Sign him up! A powerful duo full of support and love!

He is such a gentleman, Bulkhead is over heels for you and is all ready to kiss the floor you walk on.

Your number 1 fan - loves how you show your strength and the pride and love you have for your big frame. But if you ever need some supportive words, he is ready to remind you how much he loves you.

Gets all blushy and shy when he gets to lay his helm on your thick thighs or touch them. A thigh guy definitely.

WHEELJACK

Down bad for you and a total menace.

Is not shy to flirt with you, whisper some sweet spicy nothings and grope here and there (only if you had consented and feel comfy with it, of course!)

Wheeljack is a danger to society, whistles at you and even howls when you show off your hips, thighs, chest or your whole frame in general. (Please, sit on my face coded.)

SMOKESCREEN

Primus. This mech loves you like crazy.

He is a constant "look at my hot S/O!" and enlist every little thing that he loves about your frame, your personality, your everything! Your number #1 fan.

While Smokescreen would be all over the moon to have you sit on his lap, he also melts and gets all shy if you have him sitting on your own lap. He would even be all like "Oh my, such a beautiful bot is flirting with me!" and you two had been dating for a long while, what a silly goose.

ULTRA MAGNUS

Another painfully shy bot, tries desperately to always keep himself collected and serious. But when you are around he gets all anxiously-lovestruck and even more if you pay attention to him!

Needs an extra push to have him put his servos over you - even if you had already told him that it was okay to touch, Ultra Magnus wishes to be nothing but the best for you.

When you two are alone, he feels in heaven having you on his lap, holding you close and whispering sweet nothings to you. Wants you to sit on his face wHO SAID THAT

CLIFFJUMPER

Is like a middle between Wheeljack and Bumblebee - Loudly expresses his love for you but is also veeeryyy romantic for it (sometimes silly, but it's because he loves you so much).

Cliffjumper is always eager to carry you around as much as possible (if he is able to, of course, but he'll try!!) Even more if you had ever expressed not linking your frame and wished to be smaller in shape. Not on his watch! He is ready to make his sweetspark feel beautiful!

If you have a big chestplate he is constantly resting his helm on it, too. "Let me help you, babe - they look heavy." (Just another menace)

MEGATRON

Y'all watch out - Megatron is all in to leave bite marks, grope and what not to any type of thickness you have.

He loathes the idea of others staring at your plump assets and is very possessive. Snarls and growls but at your touch he is quick to melt (and sometimes bark as he wants a bite of that cake!)

Always has you sitting on his lap. And he will actually make you sit on his face.

STARSCREAM

The size difference has him going wiiild but it's too flustered to touch, move, or even breathe the same air you breathe.

If he ever hears someone talk bad about your frame, he goes full banshee and destroys whoever spoke ill about you (Verbally or physically? Who knows, but he destroys in your name).

Starscream becomes all blushy and shy if you hug him or have him sit on your lap, lay on your thighs or rest his helm on your chestplate.

Needs to,,, to have his helm crushed,,, b by your thighs

SOUNDWAVE

Would definitely tease you by groping your aft or thighs with his tentacles (w/ consent of courseee)

Whenever you are all alone with him, Soundwave would request to be allowed to caress your frame with his digits - it makes his spark flutter.

Takes photos of you and shows them to you - you always look drop dead gorgeous in them.

KNOCKOUT

The most hot couple of them all fr fr

Knockout is always praising you and giving you every single love nickname in the book, holds you close and just showers you in kisses.

Another menace - is happy to grope your aft, thighs and give you the most berthroom optics while resting his chin on your chest.

"My soon-to-be-conjux is better than yours" mech.

BREAKDOWN

He is a gentlemech to the heart, but when possible and in the mood, Breakdown becomes a menace.

Whistles whenever he gets to see you kick afts, you look so hot!

He would also be the type of significant other to always have one of his servos on your aft or hips. Always.

SHOCKWAVE

Your frame type is NOT illogical. It's PERFECTION.

You are the only one to see this mech actually prove he has feelings - Shockwave always sighs enamoured whenever he places his optic on you.

Big chest couple... just sAYING-

AIRACHNID

You are her most precious treasure from her collection.

Will be a menace by touching, pinching or groping any thickness of your frame and even purr when she catches you getting all shy.

Airachnid would love to cuddle and show you off to others.

Just like Megatron, she is all in on marking you.

PREDAKING, DARKSTEEL & SKYLYNX

Predaking prefers your hips and thighs, is always snuggling his helm against them and whispering sweet nothings to you.

Darksteel is more an aft mech, his praises are full of dirty talking and is all eager to mark you.

Skylynx loves your chest, is more bashful at the idea of touching it but melts in the moment when you allow him to lay his helm on it.

DREADWING & SKYQUAKE

Dreadwing would be like Breakdown - is a gentlemech that gets all over you at any display of your strength or showing off your frame with pride. But he is also eager to keep a servo over you or leave a mark.

Skyquake another menace who is ready to throw servos at whoever stares at you for too long or says something bad about your frame. You are hot, perfect and his.

VEHICONS

They are always gushing about you.

They are all ready and eager to please you to be allowed at the end of the day to touch or just feel your frame close to theirs.

The Vehicons are your own fan club, but all of them are painfully shy - show off your frame and soon they will get all ready to get active.

Who was going to fucking tell me about Makeshift? My fatass didn't remember him (still not adding him tho) (ﾉ*･ω･)ﾉ Vhaos out!

[lexirambles]

Azuretime has changed my brain chemistry, so I'm going to ramble about some headcannons I have about their relationship. Hold onto your hats, this is gonna be a doozy!

The reason Two Time is always smiling is because of Azure. He always said to smile no matter what, that it makes hard times easier, that it lifts people around them up, that their smile is so, so beautiful. So they did, if anything, just to see Azure's face light up. Even after they killed him, they kept smiling. Even in purgatory, they kept smiling. It's kinda similar to Alastor's mentality on smiling. No one has ever seen Two Time's without that manic grin, only ever fading rarely when experiencing nightmares. The moment that smile breaks, the last piece of Azure that they have left will die, and then he'll really be gone. So they can never stop smiling, no matter what happens.

Azure's garden is a secret, a secret garden, if you will. The thing about cults is that they take everything that makes you an individual, everything has to involve the cult. Your relationships, your hobbies, your thoughts, your feelings. If everything you do isn't in the name of what you follow, then there's room to doubt. Azure doesn't garden because the cult wants/needs him to, he does it because it's his hobby! It's an attempt to hold onto his own individuality, to be his own person. Of course, he wants the same for his partner, so they sneak away to hang out where no one can judge them. It's where the whole "Quiet, Two Time! They're not supposed to see in here," came from. They thought it was secret, but being very close to Two Time, Amarah caught onto what they were doing. She didn't really interfere, though, as she knew Azure would be a "problem" anymore.

EVERYTHING IS AMARAH'S FAULT! She was the one that got Two Time into the cult, and served as their mentor once a member. She gave Two Time the dagger. Once she found out what they and Azure were doing, she knew it could be a very big problem. If this continued, he could convince them to stray away, or ever run away together. Well, one must take a life to gain their second, why not take out two lovebirds with one stone? She convinced Two Time of what they must do, one cannot love someone more than they love the spawn, they must get rid of him. And as we know, everything went exactly to plan. Also, I use She/Her for Amarah, I just prefer it, female villains are so much more fun. We did it with 1x, WE CAN DO IT AGAIN! Gaslight gatekeep girlboss!

Azure shows affection through gift giving. It's his way of showing that he's thinking of them and how they see him. Objects are symbols of their memories, the moments they share, and he wants to remember all of them. So whether it's a picture of them together, a pendant of The Spawn, or matching scarves, he loves giving Two Time random, useless stuff. He is very sentimental, and will keep anything Two Tiem gives them. The feeling is mutual, Two Time has a special place in their room for keeping all of Azure's gifts.

Two time is very physically affectionate, but only with Azure. They're always holding hands, brushing against each other, holding each other, touching the other's face, smooching galore! But they're only like this around Azure, they're pretty jumpy if anyone else tries to touch them. But with Azure? Full body hugs! Two time is also very small, especially when compared to Azure, who is pretty built. So they just get ABSORBED into Azure when they cuddle! In Forsaken, they are very touch starved, but doesn't feel comfortable being touched by any of the other survivors. Part of them don't think they deserve to be loved like that again... In fact, they actually enjoy being attacked/killed by Azurewrath, just to be touched by him again.

Azure loves tea! His favorites are floral teas, of course. He'll hold lil tea party dates in their secret garden with Two Time. He is on a personal quest to try EVERY SINGLE TEA THAT EVER EXISTS! He's even made his own blends. Are they good? No one knows! Two Time doesn't have the heart. Two Time's favorite is earl grey.

I see Two Time is AFAB, again because there are like NO WOMEN IN THIS GAME! Thus, they are inflicted with The Blood Curse (we all know.) Azure immediately enters Caretaker Mode every time. He'll take over their duties, get them chocolates, tea, a heating pad, and something for the cramps. They 100% have tried using their own period blood for a blood sacrifice and got scolded for it!

In similar regard, Two Time has a VERY high pain tolerance. They kind of have to, with how painful the second life process is, all the blood ledding rituals, and dying over and over again indefinitely. They has definitely creeped the other survivors out with this. They can break their own arm and not even flinch. They've ran off with greivous injuries they didn't even notice were there. Pain is no deterrent for them, and he holds no fear of death, making them incredibly reckless with absolutely no regard for their physical health. While certainly not to the same degree, before being Forsaken, Two time was still very durable and completely uneffected by pain. Azure would often be the one to nurse their wounds and keep them from throwing themselves into something too dangerous and getting hurt. They have absolutely tried to eat an extremely poisonous plant Azure was growing and had to be stopped.

ALRIGHT! That's all I got in me for today. Honestly sounds fun to just write a line of episodic one shots with all these ideas, but that's a project for another day. Enjoy your fluff and angst, fellow Azuretime shippers!

I did not proof read this so sorry buut...

I cant get john walker and his controversial younger girlfriend out of my head. She's of legal age, of course (21)... its just weird if you look at it from an outside perspective. But once you see the love they have for one another, it makes it better. (Just don't tell them the relationship started because you were both horny and drunk and let your aching desires take hold that one night)

Like he'd be so sweet and gentle with her, constantly bringing her presents, always planning the dates, sending her reassuring texts after not texting back (hes the kinda person to reply in his head and not actually text back). He remembers things about her. Like her favorite drink, the fridge will often be stocked with it. He knows on rainy days you dont want to do anything, so when it starts raining he cancels all plans for them both. He tries to teach her football, getting a little to into it and accidentally pushes her to hard. He's apologizing the rest of the week. Making it up to you anyway he can, even after you told him it was fine. he gets you flowers once a week on a random day, just because you said you liked receiving flowers once. He will carry you around, even if you dont ask. He'll just scoop you up and hold you, kissing your cheek and shoulders until you giggle and squirm out of his grip. Your feet hurt, well thats fine he'll carry you and your shoes. He reads all the books you tell him you like, all the movies, listens to your favorite songs, all so he can understand what your talking about and share your excitement. He won't get social media though, no matter how much you want him to get tiktok so you can send him stupid videos you reference all the time.

He's so soft in and out of the bedroom... but he does like to play into the age thing a bit more than he'd care to admit. He cant help it, seeing you beneath him, red and sweaty as he pounds into you. Your whimpers and whines as you get close. It drives him mad. Your so small compared to him, breakable, and it excites him. Normally he goes slow, talking you through it everytime, holding your hand as he slowly inches deeper into you. Telling you how tight you are, how full hes gonna make his baby girl. He likes to whisper sweet nothings into you ear as he slowly fucks you, deep and hard. Not fast, but very deep, and hard enough to feel him bruising your cervix.

Buuuut sometimes he likes to me mean, to be rough. With your permission and safe words in place he goes crazy. Like a complete switch from his normal sweet self. He's got you on top of him as he hold your hips up and hes pounding UP into you like your nothing but a flesh light. Spitting filthy insults and names at you. "Fucking whore. Were boys you age just not good enough? Hum? You just that greedy you need a real mans cock fillin' ya up." He growl as he bounces you against his thrusts. Or hes got you on your knees face pushed into the pillow and hands tied to the headboard. "This sweet little cunt keeps sucking me b-... back in. Its beginning for me to spill a- a load into ya baby." He definitely fantasizes about getting you pregnant, but only in the bedroom. You both take all the precautions to not get pregnant, because he doesn't want you to have a baby yet, your to young in his eyes, "you got your whole life to be a mom if you want, just have fun for now." Even if you're begging for his load, he keeps that condom on, and makes sure you take your BC. But a man can still have a breeding kink and pretend.

Anyway, John walker loves his younger girlfriend and treats her like a princess!!!

Yes, she is of legal age. No, she is not some overly innocent girl. She's a grown-up in my concept, fully independent. John just likes to spoil his woman.

My thoughts about Deltarune, Chapters 3 & 4 (Part 4)

Continuing where I left off:

❤️ <( After doing some things in Castle Town, we went back to the Light World to explore, dropped Tenna off at Happy's (Mettaton) house, and went back to Kris's house to "borrow" money from Asriel drawer just for this:

❤️ <( My dorks deserve the best, so I wanted to give them a moment of chill and fun. It was really cute and worth it.

This was my drawing by the way...

❤️ <(  *smirks* Shh... just doing Kris a bit of trolling.

❤️ <( After some misunderstandings about the rose that Kris kept to feed Susie later and Noelle believing it was for her… (for a moment I thought Noelle would get jealous thinking that Kris was confessing their love to Susie with the rose or something *smirks*)

❤️ <( We finally arrived at Noelle's house, and I've to say it's very beautiful, both inside and out. It was a lot of fun to explore. 😊​

Once we sat down on the couch to talk, Berdly called Noelle to pester her about being his date for the festival, but Susie grabbed the phone, shut his bird ass, sent the phone flying (thank you very much), and then she explained to Noelle that she needs to start saying "no" to other people, and she was like:

❤️ <( Deer one, did you forget you have antlers up? You can always… never mind, let's not give her any more ideas with Berdly *chuckles*

After that, Susie asked us to go look for clues while she entertained Noelle, and then we picked up the phone to troll Berdly a little.

❤️ <( I don't know how Kris knows the song, but the bird answered us anyway and…

❤️ <( "Did you hear anything, Kris? Yeah, me neither, carry on..."

After that, we entered Dess's room and did a little research.

❤️ <( "So… your friend Dess was sort of a punk/rocker deer who was kind of rebellious, liked military stuff and causing some mayhem, was probably in a relationship with Asriel, was good at sports, and could play any kind of instrument, right? Sounds like a cool girl to me, but she probably had many clashes with her mom for this, no?

I don't know why, but I just pictured her now listening to "System Of A Down" from "Chop Suey!" somehow..."

Anyway, we went to check the guitar, found the shelter's code and…

❤️ <( !!!!!!

❤️ <( Excuse me...? What do you think you're doing?

❤️ <( Well... I was a little in shock from what Kris did, but I managed to get out of the box and escape through the vent.

❤️ <( *humming "Metal Gear Solid - Encounter" while moving*

❤️ <( There they are! Hey, what are they doi…?

❤️ <( This is the moment when my awe for Kris got broken for a bit and then things got spicy... like really mad...

I'll show it when the next post is ready.

Some general fandom suggestions

I've been a quiet observer in this fandom for some time, and wanted to make some suggestions. You can take or leave them, it's not my job to police anyone (although there are certainly those who will tell you it's theirs-- it isn't, btw). We've reached a point in this fandom where Jakolas and the 2 Antukes in the world are in adversarial positions to Lukolas. The opposite of love isn't hate- it's indifference. If both of these ships were so confident that they've manifested and are sailing along smoothly, they'd simply ignore us rather than antagonize people who haven't been public facing in the fandom for some time or make wild claims about what Nic or Luke are doing in terms of Lukolas. They're out there doing these things because they do not feel confident in their respective ships since there are a lot of red flags and inconsistencies there. I'm not going to list them because there are so many Lukola bloggers doing an excellent job pointing them out and also because any time we put them out on main, our fave's teams are out there taking our suggestions and trying (and failing, hilariously) to make them look more real. I feel completely indifferent toward Jakolas and Antukes for the reasons listed above.

Now, I am going to address the Lukolas in the room. We have nothing to defend against with Jakolas and Antukes. None of these people, including JD, A, N or L owe us any real glances into their private lives, which I firmly believe we're not getting much of rn because they're on high alert. Historically, when people have quieted down in this fandom, N/L have dropped more hints, whether intentional or unintentional (I'm guessing more the latter than the former).

N has never been public facing in an authentic relationship. If you look back over her history, she mentioned one live-in bf during a podcast interview in 2019 or 2020, but we still don't know his identity. Laurie, who she was reported to be dating, had a long-term male partner he was with while they were linked. She seemingly wasn't with Eamon either, who was spotted kissing a woman that he is now with the month after she attended the RN premiere with him. Alot of these people are listed as her rumored significant others, still, when you go on websites and look at her dating history.

The current approach of some bloggers/ creators to put everything on main isn't going to make her feel more comfortable sharing authentically. I don't blame her. Things got very personal very quickly and seemingly things that were intended to be private were shared without a filter.

Part of the bigger issue we have rn in the fandom, is a general need to be right about everything. I have news for you: every last one of us, every last Jakola, every last Antuke could be wrong. We don't actually know N or L. And again, they don't owe us anything. But the bottom line is any person who says anything as fact is blatantly incorrect here.

Wikipedia changed their rule for updating stars' personal lives in reaction to the many falsehoods published by tabloids. As I mentioned earlier, N is consistently linked with people she never dated in the past. This would be an example of a falsehood. The difference is that she was much less famous at that point and hadn't gone on a 6 month world tour with over 40 hours of interviews with her professional bestie/make out partner. Therefore, tabloids are no longer considered a 'source.' The source would have to be a reputable magazine or a statement from the celebrity themselves. Everything else is simply rumor or conjecture.

But specifically, within the Lukolas, telling anyone what to think or believe is a fool's errand. I can't control what's going on in anyone's head any more than the next person. Similarly, what's said in group chats (IMHO) is not for public consumption. However, when we get to public comment, that's where it gets sticky.

It's important to remember that the parties involved (especially if it does come out at PR at some point), are actual human beings with families. Does it mean I believe they're actually dating these people? No. Do I have to believe that to be respectful? No. Does it mean I have to like them? No. Does it mean I have to respect them? Also no. Does it mean I have to ship them with N or L? Hell no. But does it mean that I should reserve unkind commentary and off color jokes for the gc/ my own twisted mind? Yes. Yes it does.

Alot of the public discussion right now is in absolutes and, "I'm right, you're wrong, get over it." The reality is, nobody, not even the bigger creators or bloggers, actually know N or L. Not even the ones who have met them multiple times. And at the end of the day, I just hope they know there are some people out there who legitimately enjoy their work, want the best for them both, and hope they feel comfortable sharing the truth at some point.

PREVIOUS — NEXT

1.1 new beginnings

Zoie hadn't slept an ounce. The flight from Los Angeles to Seoul was an excruciating 13 and a half hours long, which for Zoie meant 13 and a half hours of trying to find the right snare to fit her latest demo song. When the plane finally landed it was already past 1 p.m., and despite being thoroughly jet lagged, she had to attend her first meeting at HYBE Entertainment. 

She hauled her luggage to the small studio apartment she’ll be renting in the city's heart. By the time she reached the 5th floor, she was completely out of breath, even though she took the elevator. She sprawls onto the beige sofa, sinking in completely and pulling out her phone. Shit. 

Now she's practically bolting out the door, but not before grabbing the extremely overpriced iced latte she got at the airport. She won't let that go to waste. She passed by some other tenants who gave her some quite discerning looks. Her meeting was scheduled at 3 p.m, and the bright numbers on her phone read 2:41. She's going to be so late.

Fortunately, the entertainment building is hard to miss. Zoie comes to a stop in front of the large revolving doors. Wow, is this where she’ll be working from now on? Another look at her phone, 2:52, looks like she will make it after all.

After a very interesting and Google translate-powered conversation with the security guard in front, a woman, Seo Yoonchae, let her come inside. 

“Hi, you must be Zoie, I've been waiting for you.” she says with a smile.

“Really? Oh, I’m so sorry I’m late I just got off my flight-” Zoie scrambles, trying to seem less of a hot mess in front of this sophisticated woman.

Yoonchae laughs and Zoie is trying to figure out if it's out of sympathy or mockery. “Don’t worry about it. Here, take this.” A laminated card is placed in Zoie's hands, with her name, occupation, and picture of her on it. So that's why they wanted a headshot. Now she wishes she had chosen one where she had more makeup on. 

“You use this to check in every morning and throughout the building; vending machines, practice rooms, you name it. So no more language barrier issues with security guard Hyejo.” she offers a sympathetic smile.

“Thank you, could you just let me know where I need to be for this first meeting?” Zoie asks, anxiously looking at her phone again.

“Of course,” Yoonchae pulls out a tablet to check the schedule, “You’ll be in studio 3-1, on the third floor. Also here’s my number, don't hesitate to call me if you need help with anything.” She hands her a business card before being pulled aside by a girl named Minju, whom Zoie thinks must be an idol based on her enthralling looks and aura.

After rushing up 2 flights of escalators (and almost falling once), Zoie is almost at her meeting room. She frantically scans the hallway, attempting to find the right room, not noticing a person heading directly towards her. Her body crashes directly into a tall man, her $15 iced latte spilling all over him, her, and the floor.

“Fuck, I’m sorry, let me get you-“ she searches through her bag, face burning red from embarrassment. The man, however, doesn’t seem so startled. Zoie can’t see much of his face, because he has a cap and glasses on. Seriously, who wears a cap inside?

“If you wanted my number that bad, you could’ve just asked, you know?” he says, and Zoie can sense his cocky attitude through his thick austrailian accent. He let’s out a rough laugh, taking off his zip-up hoodie, which was now drenched in coffee and oat milk. 

In this moment of frustration, she almost forgot she was running late, but she couldn’t go in with a shirt looking like she had walked through a car wash before this. So, Zoie sprints to the bathroom, leaving the mystery man and her mess in the hall. Luckily, the bathroom was only a few doors away. She’s dabbing her shirt harshly, hoping at least some of the stain will come out, when a woman walks in.

Her hair is short, a dark wood brown color with messy bangs sprawled across her forehead. She has the look of an artist, Zoie thinks, which she soon finds out is the truth.

“Oh girl, what happened to you?” the woman comes closer, inspecting Zoie's button-down with a worried expression.

“I spilled coffee on myself. Not to mention I’m running late to my first meeting.” Zoie sighs, accepting her fate that she might lose her job on her first day. 

“Don’t worry! Sora to the rescue!” the woman, Sora, exclaims before running out of the bathroom. She’s back in a matter of seconds, a black t-shirt in hand. “Put this on, hurry!”

Zoie, still in a confused state, rushes to one of the open stalls and changes her shirt hastily. When she comes out, Sora is gone, but she doesn’t have much time to dwell on that since she still needs to make it to the meeting.

Finally, she finds Studio 3-1 tucked away in a corner. A lady is in front of the door, speaking to someone on the phone. When she sees Zoie, she motions for her to come over. 

“Ms. Rae! I was wondering if you would make it, Jaeyun is waiting inside already.” She practically shoves her inside the room. Jaeyun? The guy she was producing for was called Jake, so who is this? Maybe a fellow producer? Who knows?

When she walks in, she’s stunned. To say it’s everything Zoie's ever dreamed of for a studio is an understatement. There are about 4 monitors, a synthesizer, two guitars, and so many speakers she can't even count them all. In the adjourning room, covered with sound isolation shields,  she can see a few mic sets and headphones. It’s all set up in the sleek style as the rest of the building and she couldn’t wait to spend every day here.

But, there’s also a person inside, sitting with his back turned to Zoie. When the chair spins around on its wheels, her smile falls almost immediately. Him again. The guy she spilled her precious oat milk latte on a few minutes ago.

“You must be Jaeyun…” she starts, a slight snarl in her voice. He’s amused, she can tell. It seems he enjoys watching others in misery.

“How’d you guess?” Jaeyun says with a sarcastic tone, “And you must be the girl who spilled an entire coffee on me in the hallway and walked away like I was some unpaid intern.” This guy has some nerve, trying to mess with her.

“Well, to be fair, you looked like one. Who even wears a cap indoors?” Zoie replies, her voice firm. Whoever this guy was, she didn’t have to put up with his bullshit.

“People with faces worth protecting,” he smirks proudly, making Zoie cringe.

“Or personalities worth hiding.”

“Ouch, I can tell we're going to be great friends,” Jaeyun said, placing a hand over his heart in a mock-pain gesture.

“Let’s just cut to the chase, I was told I needed to show the demo I have for the title track today and that’s it.” she says, placing her things on an empty chair and plugging her USB stick into the closest monitor. She plays the song she was working on, on the flight, “Blue”. 

Jaeyun doesn’t protest, seemingly very interested in the track, even if it’s unfinished. 

“It’s alright,” he comments, earning himself an eye roll from Zoie, “now can I show you my work?” 

She doesn’t have another choice, so she listens to the demos and analyses the lyrics in them. She doesn’t say it, but the mix is pretty good, the lyrics are another story though. 

“I’ll be completely honest, because this is my job, but these lyrics are very… shallow.” Zoie explains, “I think the artist would appreciate something with a little more depth.”

“Exactly, it’s called vague depth. Saying a lot of words, but not actually saying anything,” he says in his matter-of-fact tone again.

“You’re like a walking antidrop.” she retorts, sighing and leaning back in her chair. 

Before Jaeyun can think of another witty comeback, a man opens the door. He’s got a head of messy blue-black hair, and he’s dressed in some outfit you’d only see in a music video.

“Sorry for interrupting,” he says with an American accent that Zoie recognises immediately, “Jake, the stylist needs you for a fitting real quick.”

“Wait, Jake?” Zoie is confused, her eyes flicking between the two guys. 

The guy from the door points at Jaeyun, “Yeah him.”

Then she realises what a big mistake she’s made. She turns to face him slowly, a wave of embarrassment on her face “You’re Jake?” 

“Gonna be a lot harder to avoid me now, huh?” he stands and heads towards the door, but not before throwing a wink her way. “You’ll get used to being wrong about me, Rae.”

Zoie is left alone to suffer with the consequences of her actions. How did she not see this coming? Of course, she’s so proud that she insulted an idol right to his face! And with no shame too! How is she supposed to work with him for the next few months?

A few minutes pass before another person breaks Zoie out of her spiral. It’s the girl from the bathroom, Sora.

“Jake will be back in a bit, sorry for taking him on such short notice. This photoshoot was supposed to be yesterday but we’re running late because of some wardrobe mishaps.” Sora explains with a sympathetic look on her face, sensing Zoie's despair.

“It’s okay, you don’t need to bring him back. I think I’ll head out now, enough embarrassment for today.” She barely laughs, “Thanks for saving me with the shirt, I owe you one.”

“Don’t worry about it, you’re Zoie Rae, right?” Sora questions and Zoie nods, “Jake’s been rambling about you coming here for weeks throughout our fittings. I’m Sora, by the way, their stylist, but I think you caught on to that part.” She laughs before slipping out of the room again.

Zoie is fed up, she decides it’s best to call it a day, even though she’s barely been in the studio for an hour.

This was going to be one long summer.

percy jackson doctor au

annabeth: neurosurgeon

duh i feel this is self explanatory. there's always so much more to learn about the brain and annabeth would love that. and also she would be great at leading in the OR.

she would also be commited to being a lecturer and doing presentations as well

the type of person who everyone wants as a mentor

but also very no nonsense as she has high expectations for everyone, but not the type that would yell but just be demanding because she knows people can do it.

hobbies of martial arts (nobody at judo knows that she's a doctor til a medical emergency happens and she's like "i got this" and they're all astonished

percy: ER 

he doesn't hesitate and he wouldn't care about fame. he just wants to make people's lives better, whether that be stitching up some teenager who fell off their skateboard or something else

also he's chaotic, and if anything about the ER that i've learned from TV shows (okay so not the best source material...) is that they're chaotic too

he doesn't hesitate to make decisions and he's not the type to spend hours wondering what the course of action is. impulsiveness can be a plus.

his OR has such vibes as he plays music (it helps him concentrate) and everyone wants to be in there. he never yells at people either. he's a guy everyone likes (unless you manage to get on his bad side..)

his hobbies are of course swimming, and going on the ocassional boating trip

he's the type of guy that he'd end up helpign with flood or hurricane relief, even they're off work. doctors without borders or wtv that's called.

leo: pediatric surgeon

Okay so he totally took biomedical engineering in college but idk he changed his mind

He has nimble hands that would suit the smaller space that you would have to work on

his attidute would be a hit with all the kids as he brings a sort of "fun" to a perhaps tense atmosphere and he explains things better too

But don't forget his inventions, he would tinker with medical tech on the side. bringing new innovations to the field to better the lives of his patients as notices stuff they need or want

he knows what its like to be a small and scared kid and he would want to do everything to bring comfort to his patients.

like percy he would play music in the OR

also he's a total car guy. on the times he's not at work, you find him in the garage.

To me, it doesn't appear to be especially well-managed, is the thing. She doesn't really seem to have any interventions she uses when one of these things starts happening, no breathing exercises or grounding or even medicine, she just brute forces her way through. I agree that it's perfectly reasonable for a person with anxiety to go out on survey if they've got suitable accommodations in place, but Mensah's main accommodation seems to be, "I am stronger than the panic." Which is not a great way to manage things, but a very realistic way to manage things, especially if you really don't want there to be a problem, especially if you've spent a lot of your life being a team leader and a mom and an administrator and a bunch of other things that ask for strength. People…do that. A lot.

Although, to be fair, it's entirely possible that it was well-managed and a minor problem back on Preservation, and it just ballooned into a big problem because of All The Shit Happening. That, I think, may be the most likely explanation of all. "Peaceful planet where people try to argue respectfully," is a very different situation from, "Now there are giant fuck-off sandworms and people trying to do extreme violence to my team." So of course she doesn't have grounding techniques, she never needed much of anything besides stepping away for a little bit. And of course she suspects her heart, because these symptoms may have ramped way the hell up compared with what she's used to.

i'm so confused by one thing -- mensah insisting that her panic attack was a heart attack. even murderbot knew it was anxiety and has had panic attacks itself and recognizes them and shared its coping strategy to deal with them

is mensah used to lying about her anxiety disorder? is it possible she doesn't know that she has one....?

Before we call anon rude because let’s see it from their perspective, imagine getting an entire feast to eat. That can be pretty hard to start with so much that’s going on, but if they start with one thing they know they’ll like (aka one character they like) that can be the start for them leaping to other characters to finish the story and the bigger story. I struggle the same way to start book series if I don’t have at least one character that drives me to read it, it’s all about what can be the hook to push them through. Sounds like the anon is neurodivergent (just a guess) so they might genuinely not see it as rude and see it as a solution to even play the game to start with.

Btw absolutely adore the game, the complex and rich characters making them all so unique is amazing. The art is so pleasing to the eyes I love it!! I’m waiting for it all to get out at once so I don’t get too impatient. Shae however interests me the most, which routes will have the most lore for them? Will there be routes that give more lore in general based on decisions you make or do they all share the same amount? (I mean general lore not just Shae lore)

Apologies; we are not trying to accuse any asker of being rude! We are simply explaining our perspective as the developers / are trying to broadly encourage folks to dip their toes into other areas of the story outside of the main route(s) they're interested in, especially considering some routes will be made available sooner than others, and these other routes will likely contain additional scenes/lore of everyone's fave(s) regardless! We want to give each main cast member an equal amount of love (and lore) regardless of their overall popularity, so our goal is not to tut-tut anyone for having strong preferences for one character over the others, but rather to explain that you may be surprised by how much *more* you learn about your preferred characters in the other routes. That's all!

For Shae... Well, they were a foot soldier for one of the worst periods of the War. Lore wise, any other story that touches on the War will likely have content relevant to them and their experiences. ^^

Person reading this can you tell me your favorite story and why it was the way that it was.

[david-watts]

anyway now that I can think a little straighter. that being said I am struggling to word how I want to say any of this. on one hand it's just autism reassessment for the moment. but on the other hand, I didn't want to pursue that. my m*ther did. why does she want me to do that. that's paranoia inducing on its own yet alone with any of the other things that are beginning to creep into my mind

[florida3exclamationpoints]

Its so cool how a million people pile into my house for a holiday i don't celebrate and then i don't even get presents out of it

[kiyomitakada]
