masterlist

seungcheol -

he's such a caretaker at heart, he'll always be willing to do everything in his power to support your lifestyle in order to accommodate to your chronic illness. nothing is too much in his eyes, so if you need any special modifications to your home, your transport, or your life in general, he's there making sure it's done.

jeonghan -

as per usual, he'll baby you. no matter what it is, if you were struggling a little extra that day, his first instinct would be to baby you and coo and comfort you. he's got natural motherly instincts with everyone he loves, and you'd be the biggest receiver of this treatment. he'd help you in every possible way.

joshua -

as the very responsible and put together person he is, his mere presence would offer you comfort. he'd always have whatever you need at hand, always checking in on you if he happened to be away. if you were having a specially difficult way due to your chronic illness, he'd take the day off if possible (or leave work early) in order to be there for you with all your favorite things to at least try and take your mind off it and relax a bit.

jun -

would never want to make you feel out of place or singled out due to your chronic illness, so he'd make it a point to check with you to see what you were most comfortable with and what you'd need from him when your chronic illness acted up or when you just felt like you needed a little extra help. cutie's got the most empathetic heart ever so he'd always make you feel at ease.

soonyoung -

he'd be so interested in learning everything you have to tell him about your chronic illness, wanting to be an anchor for you and understanding of what you may need from him. sometimes he forgets you may have some limitations in certain areas, in which cases he'd immediately backtrack and come up with an alternative, never wanting to make you feel out of place and always wanting to include you in everything he does.

wonwoo -

makes your chronic illness just a part of your daily life, not highlighting it in any way that might make you feel bad or uncomfortable, but assimilating to any of your needs in a way so natural it feels like the norm. he gives me vibes of a caretaker, which would specially show itself on the days you were feeling down or your chronic illness was acting up. he'd be completely empathetic to your feelings, always hearing you out and taking care of you.

jihoon -

not gonna lie he probably stresses over you sometimes. he just stresses easily and he'd already feel bad for leaving you for extended periods of time, he'd have to be calling you every day to make sure you had a good day that day and to check if you needed anything from him. he makes any accommodation necessary in his studio so you feel comfortable spending long periods of time there, happy to have you close and comfortable.

seokmin -

i think he'd be very into taking care of his partner regardless of anything, so when it came to your chronic illness, he'd make sure he knew all there was to know in order to take some stuff off your plate whenever necessary. makes sure you always have whatever you need at hand and coo's at you if you ever need help from him with anything.

mingyu -

it'd pain him in a very personal and intimate way any time your chronic condition acted up. he'd literally drop everything to tend to you, making sure you had anything you needed and not caring about any of his surroundings. his focus would just be fully on you.

minghao -

he knows that home-made remedies arent always the answer, but he'd still offer you massages, mediation, special teas and ointments that his mother would make him as a child, etc in order to try and give you some relaxation on days where your chronic illness acted up. he'd provide you with a safe space and lend a sympathetic ear whenever you just couldn't deal with it all.

seungkwan -

he's always prepared in case of emergencies. anything you usually carry with you or need for your chronic illness, he has a set of his own that he carries around with him as back-up. he'd be the best bf when it came to making sure you were taken care of!!

vernon -

he'd make it as big of a deal as you'd want it to be. if you wanted to be lowkey about it and not put too much emphasis on your chronic illness, he'd still worry about you, but he'd act accordingly. however, if you were okay with him expressing his worries and taking care of you, he'd have peace of mind knowing he can at least try to help.

chan -

he lives to serve you (real). if you carry around an inhaler, he'd make sure he had one he carried with him too and maybe even another one at his place. if you had chronic pain, he'd have special furniture at home to accommodate to that, if you had any condition that required medicine-taking, he'd keep a schedule for it, calling you if he was away to make sure you were keeping up with it.

Helping Hands

Ateez ot8 x Male Reader

san loves his boyfriend yn so much that he wishes he can get pregnant and will do anything possible to get it, every time his big cock enters yn's tight hole he prays that his seed impregnates him. “san silly stop that, you know i can't get pregnant” yn caresses his cheek, “maybe i just need to try a little bit more” san and yn's foreheads touched while he keeps on pummeling yn, “or maybe i could use some help”. the door of their dorm opens, one by one of san's friends enter massaging their clothed bulges. “san what's this” yn's heart beating fast and loud that it looks that it would burst out of his chest, “maybe with enough cum you'll finally get pregnant”.

the rest of his friends discarded their clothes, dicks springing around free, growing and getting hard watching the scene unfolding in front of them, yn squirming under san –flustered and shy– covering his face, “don't worry pretty, you're gonna feel soo good”...

yn's hole gripped on san's dick like he doesn't want it to let it go, his moans muffled by seonghwas's dick, his hands occupied with jongho and yeosang and the rest strokes their dicks and share some kisses between them.

“isn't he a pretty cocksucker?” seonghwa grunts, pulling out to let wooyoung use his mouth too, “right and a skilled one too. you trained him good san” wooyoung said.

seonghwa stands near jongho –putting his dick near jongho’s– “stroke it” seonghwa demanded and yn complied, the action wetting jongho's manhood too with the remaining saliva on the taller's dick. the action was repeated again but this time with woo's wet dick near yeosang's.

junho was now mouthfucking yn, his big dick forming a bulge on yn's neck due to the forced deepthroats. san pulls out and quickly yeosang takes the charge of fucking him, his already used lubed hole engulfing his meat without any problem. “such a good toy you got san” hongjoong patted san's shoulder while stroking his dick with the other hand, “yeah, that’s why i need to get him pregnant”, hongjoong laughed at san's idea, it's silly but cute.

it was mingi and hongjoong's turn now, mingi stroke his dick a few times to then ramming it with no mercy on yn's hole, his tip scrapping his walls so good that he squirms and moans but just in time hongjoong's mouthfucks him, said moans reverberating on his cock making him feel so much pleasure. wooyoung watching how yn's dick is being neglected decides to straddle him and ride it “you might not be the only one coming out full tonight” he rock his hips with a fast pace, making the bed creak and by consequence made yn fuck himself into mingi and hongjoong's dicks, his moving body going up and down on the rappers’ dicks.

mingi sat on the bed with yn still riding his dick, “come on hongjoong, there's room for one more” he taps at yn's hole, “he's been eating a lot of meat today let’s give him a little more”, inch by inch hongjoong's dick entered, yn's hole engulfing it completely “man, what a whore” he blurted out. “ok mingi lay down” wooyoung once again wanting to fuck himself into yn, “if we're gonna use him as a toy might as well use all of it” he leaned on top of mingi –his back facing him– and guide yn's pole towards his hole, “fuck yeah, open me up”, mingi was unable to move at all because now he has wooyoung's weight on top of him, but still he was feeling like in paradise. yn tight walls hugging his dick so tightly while hongjoong's rubbed itself against his fuck! what a feeling.

“okay boys that's enough or you'll cum now” they nodded, pulling out their dicks and the other hopping off of yn's. “do you think he can take it more?” jongho asks yeosang while spreading yn's cheeks, “yeah i think so” the other replies. yn's ass bounced up and down two pair of cocks sticked together, he went up and sat all the way down their shafts –balls deep– both males grunting in pleasure, “how can he be so good at this?” jongho says, panting, “is like he was born for this, to take cocks” yeosang said. “i want moo~” completely fucked dumb at this point all that was crossing yn's mind was dicks, dick and more dicks so it was the group's obligation to give him what he wanted. he was still being plowed by both yeosang and jongho when san and wooyoung stand in his sides “open up baby” san demanded, both cocks made their way into yn's mouth, when one enter the other goes out and vice versa or yn just stick his tongue out and they slid their cocks in there until it's all slobbery, dripping wet.

the group kept on railing yn into oblivion, taking turns to dp him, everyone wanted to feel that pleasure of rubbing cocks together while being inside yn. that sensation felt like a drug to them, they could spend all day doing that and not get tired of it. “fuck i almost came” seonghwa pulls out inmediately with a pop followed by junho's. “san i think it's enough edging for us, i won't last much” wooyoung complains, “you're right let's get him pregnant then”. yn was in the bed face down ass up, his legs spreading so they all can have a good look at his abused hole, dripping with their bodily fluids. first was jongho, he decide to stroke his cock and shoot his load inside him, “god this was such a good fuck” he slaps yn's ass and went out of the room to get himself cleaned. next in line was junho, he did the same as jongho, he shot it on top of his hole then scooped it with his dick tip and pushed it inside, “open up, we don't wanna waste a drop, aren't we?” he winked at yn making him blush and moan. yeosang rubbed his dick in between yn's cheeks, the friction prompting him to cum very soon, as soon as he felt his orgasm coming he thrusted inside yn and kissed him, biting his lower lip in the process, “good boy”.

wooyoung sat on yn's face, who was now laying on his back, wrapping his arms around his waist to keep his ass up, “suck it like you mean it” he demanded yn to do while stroking his dick. while this happened mingi and hongjoong positioned themselves around yn's abused hole, stroking each other's dicks, “you should lends us this pretty too again san” mingi groaned, “i say the same” hongjoong supported the idea, “let me think about it” san replied. ropes if cum came from the rappers’ dicks, “sorry i'm a shooter” mingi said when his cum landed everywhere but yn's hole –including wooyoung's face– “i'll make it up yo you ynnie” the man said, using his tongue to scoop all the cum he could to then spit it inside yn, “damn man that was hot” wooyoung spoke, his dick leaking and ready to burst, “fuck!” he exclaims, putting only his tip inside to squirt all the thick liquid inside, “fuuhhh~” he pants “need more of this” he murmurs before leaving the room.

the last one on the room were now seonghwa and san, “your turn man” san prompts seonghwa to empty his balls inside yn, “let's see if you can hold this fat load i have in store for you”, “fat load?” yn asks, curious, “how much?” san asks to which seonghwa responds “a week worth of cum” his veiny dick pummeling into the splooge smeared insides until he finally explodes, his cock throbbing inside with each pumping making yn roll back his eyes, “such a pleasure yn” seonghwa caresses his cheek and kisses his forehead –waving a goodbye.

“so much cum, you're finally getting pregnant” san fucks yn wildly in a mating press position, the room echoed with skin on skin sounds mixed with yn's pleas and whimpers. his body squirming due to the overstimulation, making him cum undone, "need to churn all this milk inside you and then add mine to the mix”. san's dick went in and out, covered in foamy bubbly cum not realizing how some of it was leaking due to his beastly thrusts. “get ready for it yn” with a few more thrusts, he slid his arms under yn to hug him while his cock throbbed, spurting loads and loads of sperm. san pulls out and realizes how much of it was leaking into the mattress but then recalling what mingi did he did the same, his tongue collecting every drop of it, opening his hole with his fingers and spitting inside it all of it, kissing gently the puckered hole, “this was amazing, you were a good cumdump and i'm gonna be a dad soon”, san showered yn with kisses and caresses. “san.. for the gazillion time i can't get pregnant”. san shushes him, “shush you're still dumb for all that cock and sperm, let's shower” san carries him towards the bathroom, still coating him in kisses.

hi!!!!!!

so excited for movie night!!!! <3

could I possibly have a romcom (directors cut edition) with ftws!bucky pls!!

something along the lines of, "all you had to do was ask," if yk what I mean 😏😙😇

hi nonnie!!! welcome!!

fatws bucky has my whole ass heart. I don't know what they did to him in thunderbolts and i'm scared so i'm gonna pretend like that's not happening rn and we will go back to a simpler time <3

unfortunately since you're on anon, I can't do the directors cut, but I will give you some delicious bucky visuals and set the scene for your imagination to run wild ;)

headcannon below the cut

cruel intentions starring bucky barnes

bucky barnes is a shithead. if you don't believe me, I implore you to watch the entirety of fatws and point out one time he isn't being a sassy, snarky, taunting lil fucker (and we love him for it, i adore my bitchy lil grumpy super solider)

also the man has been through it so I think he's earned the right to be bitchy

being a super soldier means that everything about bucky is enhanced (😉) which includes his senses. now he's not quite at matt murdock level of heightened senses, but he can tell certain things about people (think cap in the elevator with the hydra agents clocking that shit from a mile away). he's also learned to read body language as a former assassin

combine all that with how well bucky knows you, he can always tell what kind of mood you're in very easily

so when you're frustrated but too stubborn to admit it, he knows. oh, he knows. and he's patient enough to get you to break and give into him

lets say you two had a petty argument, and now you're giving him the silent treatment. but you haven't seen each other in over a week, and he knows you want him just as much as he wants you. but instead of being the mature 107 year old man he is and trying to talk it out with you, he decides to be a teasing lil shit instead

suddenly your car needs an oil change and bucky is out in the driveway wearing that slutty lil blue henley that makes his eyes look so pretty, and he's got only one of the buttons buttoned, and the sleeves are pushed up to his elbows, and the shirt looks like it's been washed and dried one too many times bc you can see every muscle in his back and shoulders flex when he moves

and then he decides to silently join you in the living room, where you're still ignoring him, and he sits down right across from you and spreads those thick ass thighs in a way that makes your mouth water bc why are his jeans so fucking snug like that and he's just calmly reading a book not making a sound or saying a word with no expression on his face, but internally he's smirking bc he can feel your eyes on him

every room you migrate to, bucky seems to appear in with some reason or excuse, shredding your patience to a paper thin strand that is a breath away from snapping

the stubborn part of you wants to be strong and continue ignoring him but the weak part of you can't even remember why you're upset and does it even matter when he looks like that?

the last straw is when he saunters into the bedroom in nothing but a pair of grey sweatpants that hang dangerously low on his hips, and he drops down to start doing push ups. he's grunting not bc he's straining himself, he's not even breaking a sweat, but bc he knows it'll make you think of him grunting in a different way with those dog tags dangling deliciously from his neck

finally having enough, you slam your book shut and toss it carelessly aside on the bed before stomping over towards him. bucky glances up over his shoulder at you with an expression that was almost innocent, except for that stupid smirk spreading over his mouth. as soon as you're within reach, bucky suddenly turns over onto his back and grabs your leg, tugging you down on top of him with a cocky grin (you know the one)

"now that wasn't so hard, was it? all you had to do was ask, doll."

sam wilson is truly god's strongest soldier bc he puts up with bucky's attitude and ^that??? i'd fold like a lawn chair in a hurricane

[crumbs-of-the-machine]

Welp guess who's back again. Simultaneously took longer, and shorter than intended, but I've got something in the works, but have something to show for it now at least!

It's an AU that is.. yet to have a name, but the basis is that all cookies have animal features! :]

With that in mind, here's the two designs I've got so far!

(Putting them under a cut so the post isn't too long, lol)

Pure Vanilla, a sheep with warm wool, and an equally warm smile. The king of the Vanilla kingdom, he's a gentle and calm healer, and though he has incredible expertise in magic of all kinds, retains healing and protection as his specialties. He really likes his space and his privacy, despite how friendly he is.

I'm not sure about the staff I gave him, but we'll see... It still has the same functionality as his usual orchid staff, just.. a couple more flowers that are much, much smaller. His usual outfit is the one on the right, which is basically his canon outfit, but with the addition of lotsa fluff, hehe! The left is an alternative outfit inspired somewhat by the Pastel Blue costume, because I love it a lot hehehe!

Shadow Milk Blueberry Milk, an eccentric and theatrical rabbit who lives in Pure Vanilla's dreams, quite literally. His situation is somewhat of a mystery to Pure Vanilla, but he knows the rabbit is rather lonely without him. Blueberry Milk is full of jokes, excitement and energy, making every night entertaining through a handmade stageplay, or an intriguing conversation. He's incredibly intelligent despite his chipper and lax attitude, which shows clearest in deeper conversations.

His design is very inspired by the statue seen in Episode 7, though also with definite use of Shadow Milk's current design, and referencing his sprites a little, especially for colors. He might get some design changes over time, mostly adding some details perhaps? His outfit feels a little too plain for him methinks... haveta think about it I suppose :3

In Pure Vanilla's dreams, he'd made a friend unlike any other, and they ended up becoming closer and closer to each other after years and years of talking each and every night. After all, Blueberry already knew Vanilla's deepest secret, so for once, there was nothing for him to hide... which I'll get into later. ;]

I will note, some other characters and their animals have been figured out but not too many. I have most of the other ancients, and some of the other beasts though!

Dark Cacao: Moose Golden Cheese: Bird(Wow, shocker.. still haven't figured out what kind yet though, because it will be more specific than 'bird') White Lily: Mantis(Possibly Orchid Mantis) Hollyberry: I'm trying to decide between Draconic or a Bear.. hmm...

Mystic Flour: Spider Burning Spice: Lion Honestly don't know enough about the other two beasts to decide for them quite yet methinks..

Here's some more loose ideas I have for other characters:

Werewolf is going to be a wolf, obviously. Cream Ferret, Fig, Kumiho and Cream Unicorn are along the same lines for obvious reasons. Crunchy Chip will also be a wolf most likely(unless I get a better idea(unlikely)) I think Rye should be either a cow or horse I would like the faeries to be bugs, specifically along the lines of butterflies and moths The mer cookies like Crimson Coral, Sorbet Shark, Frilled Jellyfish, Squid Ink, etc. probably will mostly remain how they are, and same with the dragons. Chili Pepper might be a raccoon, or a weasel because I think it'd be funny Strawberry I think is gonna be some kind of cat. Not sure about Wizard and Gingerbrave right now though

Anyway, I'll be back later, Fish out ✌️

You weren't here,I really miss you. Mitsuya x reader

ㄨSUMMARY: He doesn't have the same face syndrome , it's just your face that's stuck into his mind.

ㄨ╰┈➤ˎˊ˗PAIRING: Mitsuya x fem!reader / Fluff/ Light Angst

╰┈➤ˎˊ˗ TAGS/WARNINGS: Fluff, light angst, spoilers for time skip.

Thank you anon for this request!<3. Sorry if it disappoints you!

══✿═══✿════╡°˖✧✿✧˖°╞════✿════✿══

Mitsuya who always requests a mannequin with the same features for his favorite pieces. It's getting to a point where the new employees are told to search for a (h/c) girl. Same eyes, same height, same smile. So sometimes, between the flash of the camera, he sees her.

The stylist look around, Takashi's masterpieces pinned all over the walls.

"It's always the same" he states loudly for himself. It caught Mitsuya's attention.

"That's different clothes."

"The mannequin."

"What about them?"

"Ohh, I get it. You got a crush on her." He says, making Mitsuya frown.

"I can arrange something for you." He waves dismissively. He doesn't want a copy.He needs the original.

Mitsuya who have to fix a dress on one of the model that got changed last minute.

He grabs needles, measuring tape, scissor and all. Entering the room in silence, he immediately notices how the dress falls too much on one side. He kneels down, grabbing the fabric and folding it before putting a needle to hold it.

"I had expected more than just a brief smile Taka." You said, watching his head raise slowly toward you. His lips barely holding anymore the needles he held. He thought it was the coffee or something, mixing your face and a model's one. But the "Taka" was unmistakable.

"You're gonna walk?"

"What else could I do?" You chuckled while he got up watching the result. It needs more adjusting on the waist. He comes back closer, grabbing the fabric as you watch him. He notices his fingers shaking a bit from having such a shy touch over his own work. No, you were the masterpiece here. At least for him. He slides the first needle on it, extracting a small back off of you.

"Did I hurt you?" He said, more concerned about you than the way his talent seemed to fade when facing you.He wanted to see what he had done, but he forbade himself to touch you. Or maybe it was too bold for him, too much to handle.

"A bit." You said, watching his shaky fingers graze over your skin. You smile, admiring his concentrated face from the top. The way he still enrolls the measuring tape around his left wrist like he used to do when you were teenagers. When his skills were for Toman. You hold a laugh when he squints his eyes behind his glasses, especially when seen from above. His eyes never daring to leave the fabric. It was only his work or his fingers.

"So you started to model around here too?"He said, trying to launch an awkward conversation. You just answered briefly, wanting him to talk. He keeps talking about you, how things have changed.

"You know, you weren't here and I really miss you..." Poor words coming from the bottom of his heart. The other got stuck in his throat. You smile, out of word, feeling like the clothes started to shrink around your lungs, out of breath.

Mitsuya who watches his show from apart. His? It's yours now. The best show he could dream of. He takes notice of all the photographs here. He doesn't want to miss any of your appearance, he needs all the angles. He needs all the frame possible. He needs so much so he can take away all the copies on his office's wall and finally put the original.

[loveshard]

"what can i say? the mirror and i have had some deep conversations," stephen joked, though his voice wavered in a way he hoped wasn't too noticeable. he could feel his friend's gaze flickering all over him, and for once, he wasn't entirely sure what she was thinking. he wondered if she may still be judging him, seeing him differently, even if all was forgiven and put in the past. usually, he could read her like a book, but now everything was uncertain. it all left his mind spinning in a thousand directions.

stephen froze for a moment as skylar's arms wrapped tightly around his neck. his heart, already on overdrive, kicked into a speed he didn't even know possible. she had always had that effect on him, even when they were kids, but now? now, it was impossible to ignore how his body reacted to hers. he hadn't realized how much he'd missed her presence, how much he'd missed this until his arms moved instinctively, pulling her close. she missed me. the thought was louder than anything else in his head, repeating itself until it almost didn't feel real.

and then she spoke again, muffled into his shoulder, and somehow it hit him harder than any teasing or banter ever had. he chuckled once he heard her words, pride bubbling up in him. he wanted to ask her what she meant by it, to pull her closer still, but something held him back. the comment sent him grinning ear to ear, though, because of all people, after a few years of practicing out on the school field, she noticed. it was silly how much it affected him, how a simple compliment could make him feel like he was floating. "you are ridiculous," he murmured, with humor in his voice, because what else could he say. one minute they were arguing over apologies and the next she's catching a whiff of him like he was drenched in cologne. it didn't make a lick of sense, but often times, they never needed to; the joys of their unconventional friendship.

"i leave you be for one week and suddenly i'm a brand new person," the man joked. he shifted slightly, his arms still loosely wrapped around her, and tried to catch her eye. but his best friend's face was still tucked into his shoulder, and for a brief moment, he didn’t mind. it felt safe, comforting even. he'd already lost her for seven whole days, he wasn't going to waste another second pushing her away. "i’m still the same stephen! maybe just… a little quidditch training, that’s all. no big deal." but then he leaned his cheek lightly against the top of her head, his own tension softening as he let out a quiet sigh. "you're not gonna start sniffing me every time we hang out now, are you?" he continued to tease, trying to make light of it, "because i might need to start carrying extra soap if that's the case — the scent is green apple, by the way."

skylar laughed softly. it was still strange, trying to work out everything she was experiencing right then, how much she felt her body burning from it all. at the very least, stephen's suggestion made her feel better, that the banter in his tone eased any last remaining tensions of doubt. "you can't just say we're even and then say your apology is better!" she countered, pouting slightly, though her tone finally indicated ease.

"wh-" she was surprised at the sudden movement, but didn't resist. she looked at their hands, cheeks flushed deep red and heart beating in her ears. this wasn't good. no, it wasn't, because the touch, stephen's palm against hers just made her ache for more. like if she didn't take more of him to herself, he'd dissipate into the air. "why do i feel like you've talked to yourself in the mirror before?" sky quipped back, though her focus could barely retain onto one thing, drifting nervously between his gaze and how close he was and their hands and his stupid lean chest. in fact, the ache to hold him closer just became larger, thoughts rushing enough that she could barely compute his next words. "yeah, i- um, i-"

and the need was too large that she gave in. she drew her hand away, only for her to wrap her arms around stephen's neck to pull him into a hug. "i missed you." it hit her then how much their distance affected her. how just a couple of days apart made her feel like things were so wrong. the guilt was gone now that they cleared the air, and all it left was yearning. yearning so large that sky didn't know what to make of it, what it meant. but at the very least, what she was confident in was them. their friendship, their relationship. that they could go back to hanging out all the time. maybe they spent too much time together, but that's just how they worked. "i'm sorry, again. i know we said no more apologies, but still."

skylar burrowed her face into his shoulder, inadvertently taking a long whiff of him. "you smell nice," she blurted out, her usually well-maintained filter gone in the face of getting to be so close to stephen again. she squeezed her arms around him tighter, letting out a weak laugh. she could taste her tears, scratching at the back of her throat. "and when did you get so solid?"

If this was dyable (and accessories weren't such a pain) Entlona would never take it off

the oc-ification of 2D wolfgirls... I'm trying to make sure they look distinct in my style!

[triglycercule]

what if because dust and horror wouldn't wanna be called anything aside from sans in a multiverse context and they were both good buddies they both just start calling eachother sans. i'm sans (dust) and i'm sans (horror) ahh duo

becaaause horror in his eye(s) still sees himself as sans!! he's sans!! who else is he SUPPOSED to be god 😒😒 stop attatching this stupid fake name onto him that just points out all his shortcomings in his au and also just dehumanizes him (because i get that aus are named after a key trait of something but COME ON the guy's name is HORROR it's like naming a poor person "brokie" or something,,,). horror is PROUDLY sans smh

and dust ALSO sees himself as sans!!! like,,, granted he's definitely not a better sans than he was before considering everything he did (but he still doesn't like his past self's inaction) but he's STILL SANS. nothing about him changed (really?) enough to warrant the whole identity shift. like dude dont discredit him DONT DENY HIS WHOLE LIFE!!! he IS sans no matter what,,, dust doesnt wanna think about what he became if he's not sans now anyways lul :3

now could they fight over the right to the identity of sans??? possibly,,, but also consider this: there are literally infinite numbers of sanses in the multiverse. at some point the shiny title of Sans would be something horror and dust are used to around the multiverse!!! so why fight over the name (that so many others share already so its not exactly exclusive) when they can just decide to make each other feel better!!! be delusional TOGETHER 🤞

[rogerbarel]

I am very fond of interpretations that are, "the text, but a little to the left," because I think they tell us about what the reader finds interesting and meaningful. I want to see things I wouldn't have thought of! There are as many Treys in this world as there are readers, and that's exciting! Tbh I originally came from the TWST community on Twitter, which did NOT see it this way and loved to throw around the accusation of nonexistent media literacy (while clearly not knowing what that entails), so I didn't share my thoughts very often.

I agree, that person would have to prove it! Trey is too cautious to be so forthright with just anybody, and I'm sure he knows that some people think they can handle the truth when they absolutely cannot. That process of earning trust is something I think about a lot and want to watch. Sorry to Vil but l I kind of love his "spoiling/babying." Some of us want a little of that in our lives!! l think that even if he manages to drop that anxious anticipation of every possible bad outcome, he will still be prone to spoiling his loved ones (with a big side of teasing). But he's gotta have a positive--not so anxious--relationship with that behavior before he can indulge in it without risk of burning himself out. Basically... I hope he can take that babying urge and apply it not to avoiding crisis/placating people, but showing appreciation when he wants.

I also love a self-indulgent HC. I've been in different fandoms where people were way more willing to go off the walls with those, and I miss it. I just wish we had a chiller fandom environment, man. I love his lil mean streak!! I've referred to the TWST boys as sour patch kids in the past, and I'll stick by it. Mean on the outside, something not-nice-but-perhaps-more-affectionate on the inside. Trey is just kind of reversed in that regard. I don't think he'd pull a Floyd Dorm Card busting down someone's door if he didn't check himself, but he could get... Hmm. What's the word I'm looking for... Sneaky? The tiniest bit sleazy? And also shady. Definitely shady. There's definitely some deadpan sarcastic internal commentary going on there.

The teasing is one of the BEST parts of a big brother archetype!! 😭 He's a tease, kinda goofy, and plays childish pranks when he can! Like Malleus, his juxtaposition of maturity and childishness ends up making him cuter imo.

I want him to be doted upon! Praised, spoiled, given what he deserves and then some! 😭😭😭 He wouldn't have a damn clue what to do with himself! This reminds me of how much I miss Ghost Bride. Trey got absolutely no game... Either he's gonna woo someone half by accident or someone's gonna have to eat him up.

Nope, never cried! Just kind of... in shock. Where did he develop that habit of immediately trying to fix things? Is it because he's an eldest brother who needs to be (and look) reliable, or something else? I think if he cries, my wailing will be heard throughout the world. I'll put it on my wall.

I know he's more popular, at least with yumes, in JP, and I've seen a blog or two discussing that his subtlety is probably a big part of that. Not only is this an EN/JP difference, but it could an age difference, too--EN has a younger audience, supposedly, who are perhaps less charmed by the concept of "Boring" but steady.

I think people consider him both boring and not... as visually exciting... as much of the cast lol. He is just a guy with grass on his head. And so, as you said, people aren't as interested in delving into his appeal. I think a small twist would be nice. Something to give Ace and Deuce a good surprise when they get into his dream. But not a supervillain one. Albeit I will probably still be in love with him if that happens, too. (I actually kinda like Hans ngl. The buildup sucks, but conceptually he is so yummy.)

Triple-Layer Cake/A Half-Baked Trey Clover Ramble

I've done this rant in more private places but am finally putting it on tumblr. This is going to be its third rewrite (if you count the time I did it as a fifty-tweet thread on yumepriv, which I'm not sure you should), but it is probably not any more cohesive since that isn't my strong suit. I'm basically throwing possible motivations for Trey's behavior at a wall and seeing what sticks. I also still don't know if I'm cooking, stating what everybody already knows, or am drawing completely unreasonable conclusions unsupported by the text. Nonetheless, I scream into the void once again. Actual material under the cut.

contains spoilers for EN-unreleased birthday vignettes

A while back, before I was even on tumblr again, this screenshot of a tumblr post about fandom misinterpreting a character in the exact way that character would want to be misinterpreted was floating around. And it made me think of Trey because approximately 50% of things do. For as long as I've been adjacent to the fandom, there's been this whole debate on how much of his "responsible big brother" image is deliberate/fake vs how much of it is genuine.

And I don't know if I like that more either/or approach to him. Trey's like Shrek. An ogre. An onion. He's got layers. But he's also a baker, and cakes are sexier than onions, so I'm opting for the more thematically appropriate analogy even if it doesn't work as well as far as visibility goes. (Although I suppose you might taste the layers separately/in order.) I'm honestly just being stubborn with this analogy. Bear with me, please.

Everybody sees his nurturing top layer, both in- and out-of-universe. But beneath that, he's a little selfish and vindictive. There's no denying this based on how he capitalizes on any chance to incur a favor as well as his preferences for revenge over forgiveness (see: wanting to watch Savanaclaw get their asses handed to them after his injury, making his underclassmen eat their cataclysmic cake after they insulted his work, Doodle Suiting his upperclassmen's cakes to be ultra spicy after they threw him under the bus as a freshman). He even admits to Epel that he's not a good person. He knows what he is.

But the way he does it has always sat oddly with me. It seems like overkill. Unnecessary. Why not let people think well of him? It reminds me of Vil's labwear vignette where he downplays his skills. He gives a too-quick protest that Vil suspects is part of an intentional image of humility. In that case, insisting that he has bad traits is just showing that he has another trait people tend to like (modesty). It's not like Epel responds to Trey's self-effacement by saying, "Oh, you really must be kinda shitty if you say so!" So I think this modesty contributes to his super average "everyguy" image as well as lightly dissuades people from thinking he's too good or reliable. No "You can count on me!" hero volunteering.

If he seems too nice, like Neige, folks might become suspicious and start playing closer attention to him, especially at a school like NRC. They may either want to see him finally snap and show what he's "really" like (to be fair, I also want to see him snap), or they may look for a way to take advantage of him. And he has enough on his plate as is!! Can't have more people who think he can shoulder it all. Trey needs to be unremarkable, so he needs to remind people that he has flaws besides his taste in hats, even if he rarely lets them show. (More on why they don't show in a bit.)

I think my reading diverges from some others' (at least those I've seen in the twt circles I inhabit) here: Even with all his vindictive tendencies, he's still deeply devoted to his loved ones. I don't think it's accurate to say that the cruel, manipulative Trey is the "real" Trey, or at least the whole real Trey. It's just a part of him. The care that he shows for Riddle, his siblings, and the named Heartslabyul characters is largely genuine.

He can act selfishly, don't get me wrong. It bugs me when people forget that. He's been dismissive toward Cater in favor of Riddle (moreso in EN than JP), and he subtly and not-so-subtly manipulates people for his benefit and the group's benefit multiple times. But it's not necessarily because he sees them as tools or playthings, which is a reading I've seen a surprising amount of times. (That being said, it is a fun one if you're exaggerating a character's villainous traits! I think he could treat someone like this under the right circumstances. You could write Trey with more of this quality, and it could be believable. But I don't think it cancels out his ability to care for people entirely.) It's just something he thinks is at least somewhat acceptable to do to others, even his loved ones. Maybe he rationalizes it. Maybe he can't help but find a little pleasure in playing with him, no matter how much we cares. If we can accept that Jade shows Floyd and Azul love through his desire to put them through an emotional saw trap, it's not too far-fetched to suggest that Trey's definition of love allows for manipulation or desire to see someone cry. He can rationalize lying to them for the sake of stability or not letting them know about his own desires. I also think that the internal conflict between "I care for these people deeply" and "I will still manipulate them" is more likely to drive him to admit that he's not a good person than not caring for them at all. Seems like a bad strategic move to admit that if you're really just using them as playthings.

Trey doesn't always know the best way to support his loved ones (understandable! How many of us struggle with this far into adulthood?) and thus conflates the stability they need with an unrocked boat. He doesn't recognize that a situation like Riddle's is inherently unstable and always will be if nothing changes. He, at least at first, seems to believe that the shitty situation you know is better than risking it all and potentially losing everything. He knows that he's failing Riddle, but what can he do? From Trey's perspective, he is a large part of the reason--if not the reason--that Riddle was locked away from the world once. What if he fucks it up again? What if he loses Riddle forever this time? (I think this history and fear is also one that keeps him from trying to close the distance between himself and Cater.)

Convincing himself that he's a bad person (which seems like a needlessly heavy judgment for the fairly mild pettiness we've seen from him in the text) might also soften the blow if things do go wrong. This way, he can convince himself that he didn't care as much as people assume he did. Love doesn't go into the things he does, or so he says. (It's even more questionable since he directly contradicts this statement in his alchemy dialogue. What is the truth, Trey Nicole Clover?)

So, to bring it all back around to the Trey cake, I think his bottom layer is anxious. And tired. Not in a way that is consistently, consciously anxious. Don't write him up a Prozac prescription yet. He's internalized these ideas that he shouldn't be noticeable, because when he does noticeable things, they go very wrong. His purpose is to keep people's lives running smoothly. So he sends those caregiving tendencies into overdrive. He's got it covered, he doesn't need more to cover, and hat's all anybody really needs to know about him. Even that is a bit too much sometimes.

Based on how Trey talks about his family, I don't think he was neglected or super duper parentified, but he doesn't talk much at all about things that they've done for him in comparison to how often he talks about what he's done for them (cooking when his parents' work took precedence, sewing his siblings' Halloween costumes, getting Magift tickets for his brother). He never shows any bitterness about it, and I think their relationship is genuinely pretty okay. No resentment there. But it is noticeavle, and he also won't even be straightforward about what he wants for himself on events where he is expected to want. He says he's joking after requesting that other people take on his chores for the day on his birthday; he uses indirect rather than direct methods to persuade Riddle to get a food processor for Heartslabyul during Starsending. Dude, you probably could have just asked.

I think Trey has this idea that he doesn't need to (or at least shouldn't) ask for anything. If I reach reeeeeeeealllll hard, I could say that one of our biggest examples of Trey wanting and pursuing something as a child--Riddle's friendship--clearly traumatized Riddle, and it had a massive impact on Trey, too. So Trey learns not to want, or at least not to be SEEN wanting.

Is this why he wants to seem so average, unremarkable, modest in others' eyes? Because wanting something is dangerous, even if it's just recognition? Just how much did the loss of one his best friends as a child fuck him up? He might not even recognize the mental association he makes; lots of people don't until they've done a lot of really intentional work about that. He just says it's easier this way, to be a cog in everybody else's lives. And it is, to some extent, but it's also deeply frustrating and exhausting. (I'd like to see more interactions between him and Jamil, who also hides his true potential, and very clearly suffers for it.)

So I think some of Trey's middle layer pettiness--not all of it, since his birthday vignettes show that he's been a bit of a troll ever since he was a kid--comes from the tension between his visible "caretaker" layer and his ultra-hidden "appreciation would be nice" layer. He reminds me a little bit of a mom who occasionally wants to snap because she feels like she does everything, and everybody just takes it for granted. He's not all "let daddy take care of you kitten," but he's not all cruel and calculating, either. And he might be less vindictive (but no less of a prankster) if he felt appreciated, but he's never going to tell anybody that he wants that. (There's a nonzero chance that he finds openly craving emotional validation somewhat too feminine for him because he's one of the only characters to comment on something being embarrassing "as a man," the other being Epel obvs, and I, like many others, have zeroed in on what this could mean about his feelings on masculinity overall in comparison to other chars. Some people think he's a straight up closet malicious misogynist, but I doubt it. That's a whole other conversation, though, which would probably run entirely on vibes.)

Does he even recognize that he's got a third layer to his Cake of the Self any time other than when Kalim semi-inadvertently calls him out? Or does he consciously push down the desire to be apprecaited? Is it painful? How painful? Does he want a break, or just acknowledgement? Does he feel like the desire to be a caretaker can't coexist with the desire to be gifted a break, to be the one taken care of for once?

This has been really really all over the place, and I apologize for that, but it just really gets my goat when people don't consider that third layer. "Trey is just a shitty guy who doesn't experience attachment or empathy (and goes out of his way to say the things he does aren't about love and then contradicts himself later) or guilt and simply feigns kindness" feels too easy. Like another thing he'd be happy to let others believe so that he can continue to hide something else. And I, in my delulu heart of hearts, think that "something else" is desire and the fear of it.

I'm currently divided on if I think the boys' dream bubbles represent their wants or just what Malleus thinks they would want, but either way, I'm hoping Trey's dream will give us a little more insight into his head. And if I was wrong about all of this, then I'll go sleep under the bed for a while and cry about how much of the fic-that-only-exists-in-my-head must be rewritten, but at least we'll have some answers. Oh Heartslabyul, I miss you so.

speaking of the Maximoff twins... s4 e13 family ties. I just gotta say.... Pietro carrying Wanda while he runs is the cutest fucking thing in the world. I'm sure they've talked about how she's "almost always left behind" and then he's like "ok lemme carry you". And Wanda goes ABSOLUTELY NOT but here we are...

wanda will say something like 'do not baby me im not made of glass' etc etc and pietro will jsut decide he cant hear anything !!!!!

oh. the difference between a million and a billion is 10 more 1 millions.

so you take the 1 million you already have (1,000,000) and then add ten more 1 millions To That 1,000,000

1,000,000 - 1 M 1,000,000 - 2 M 1,000,000 - 3 M 1,000,000 - 4 M 1,000,000 - 5 M 1,000,000 - 6 M 1,000,000 - 7 M 1,000,000 - 8 M 1,000,000 - 9 M _____________

10,000,000 - 10 M

.

ok my bad. you actually have to add 100 more of those to get to a billion

oh wait no thats 100 M

so now you have to add another 10 Million On Top of That 100 Million that you already have.

and THEN you get One Billion.

you are no longer rich. i think youre just a fucking monster. all that money that you have in real life and you are doing nothing with it. you are going to die and you should die. does the us government even have that much

oh wait they do. and they were going to sell TWICE that amount, ALL OF IT, just to kill some random ass people. why. you deserve to get robbed and if you die trying to stop them that is on you. i cannot actually think of any good reason for you to have that much money and just let it go to waste by putting it in a corner somewhere. you are actually mentally ill and you need help. no wonder theres a cap in other countries on how much money you can own. holy shit
