🐁🐡 🐈‍⬛ for the age regressor ask game?

🐁- What would your ideal regression space/room be like?

I'm not entirely sure. I have a list of toys I want but other than that idk I could be anywhere and be fine I'm not picky. Usually when regressing I'm just sleepy so somewhere comfortable to lay down is all I really need.

But for the sake of the ask I'll share my Microsoft Powerpoint made moodboard of the ideal fantasy regression places I visit in my head

It's just a cabin in an eternally Autumn woods full of books and moss. My toys are my teddy bear patches (not pictured but the vibe of her is captured) and old keys I find and not much else. I like it, it's cozy and there's lot of exploring to be done!

Sometimes I like to imagine the owner of the cabin is a forest creature/monster of some kind and they take care of me.

🐡 - What is your favorite small activity?

I like being read to, and lining all my toys up in neat rows, and storytelling about my toys and stuffies backstories and lives and friendships and what not. Mostly read to though. I wanna lay down and listen to a spooky story.

🐈‍⬛ - What are your favorite nicknames?

No one's ever called me any nicknames so I'm not really sure... I'd have to hear someone else say them before I knew if I liked them or not. But that involves getting a CG who calls you things first...

I like the sound of Ragamuffin. Sounds very silly scrappy kid to me. And Vampling is a recent favorite!!

Bit of a selfish ask cause im curious, but tell us about your poppy playtime au?~

The Chapter 3 hype has calmed down enough that I can finally post this and hopefully not grab too much attention kfdgjkdf

This idea is simple

Poppy Playtime but the Protagonist is a Child.

Where they came from, why they're here, how they GOT here is all still a mystery. They just wandered in on a stormy night drenched from the rain.

Basic design concept, the hair could use some tweaking

The bigger bodies toys who are controlled by/follow the Prototype, specifically Huggy here at the start, are instructed to bring no home to the child like they would a usual intruder or Playtime employee and are instead tasked with bringing the kid to the Prototype to join the other children from Playcare. They're too small for the Grab Pack so it's up to the Bigger Bodies toys to solve puzzles and get them through the crumbling Toy Factory.

I remember thinking an AU where you slowly collect the Big Monsters instead of killing them would but fun but.. The longer I thought on it, the more I wanted to keep at least some element of the Horror part of Mascot Horror

While I don't have all the details yet, I imagine at the end of each chapter/the start of the next chapter, the current toy with the MC dies, sill reminiscing their deaths from the game itself but through different methods.

For example Huggy still falls to his death, but it's from catching the kid when they fell with Poppy when Mommy kidnaps her at the start of Chapter 2. Mommy is still squashed to death, but rather than in a gruesome machine accident, it's during the train crash at the end of Chapter 2. Catnap I haven't worked out yet, but I thiiiink it was probably Poppy's doing...

And every time a toy dies, the Prototype is there to retrieve them. MC is terrified of this skeletal hands that keeps taking away their friends, which is the main reason they work with Poppy in Chapter 3, as much as they can of course.

That's like. The big parts of it I can cover now. There's more but I'd like to refine it more as the game comes out before saying too much else.

Thanks you for asking!

[manikas-whims]

hello i love your headcanons and was wondering if you could add sylus in some of your older ones? i was reading the "LADS men react to you dating a toxic partner" (it wasnt the title i forgot sorry) and was wondering how sylus would react. i would love it so much if you could add sylus headcanons to some of your previous ones. thankyou so much, your posts make my day🎀💓

i got you dear ♡ i’ll add Sylus to all my older HCs slowly in various posts I'll try to make throughout the coming week :)

thanks for reading my silly lil HCs ♡ hope you like this!

Sylus’s reaction to you dating someone who later on mistreats you

🐦‍⬛ He's actually quite surprised when he finds out you're dating because he genuinely believed whatever him and you had going on was far more than just being close associates. So the idea of you seeing someone else kinda shakes him off his game for a while. Luke and Keiran can see it in the way he acts— slightly distracted during serious business meetings and even when a gang war breaks out.

🐦‍⬛ He isn't the type to get jealous but he will openly express his dislike for this person. Now he may not be a saint but it feels insulting to him that you'd rather date someone else when he can give you the world if you so much as ask.

🐦‍⬛ And he will be displeased every time you come up to him for a favor with your work or anything else, saying things like, “Oh, so now you need me? I thought you'd completely cut ties with my kind.”

🐦‍⬛ If this person ever hurts you emotionally or physically, then they better start counting their breaths cause they won't be spared many.

Sylus may not like this person you're dating but he's decent enough to respect your boundaries. And it would've stayed that way. He wouldn't have involved himself in your personal matters at all until Mephisto, (whom he had still left to watch over you) catches this person yelling at you one evening.

The sight is enough to make Sylus drop whatever work he's been swarmed with.

It doesn't take him long to arrive at the residential area you reside in. He stops his bike and teleports right over to your apartment. In an instant, he's standing between you and this person, the smoky red wisps of his evol holding this person by their neck.

“Is this your type?” Sylus asks, his crimson eyes glowering at this person. “I’m truly disappointed in your taste, Miss Hunter.”

You watch with dread as the fingers of his right hand curl into a fist, his arm poised to throw a punch. And though you appreciate the gesture, you can't let him proceed with this. You have seen him in action enough times to know how strong those fists are. You know that using said fists to hurt someone would only get him in more trouble. And you definitely wouldn't want that because even if you stubbornly refuse to say it out loud, you've grown quite attached to him.

“Sylus stop!” You yell.

As expected, he does not.

But right before his fist can collide with the person's face, Sylus blinks. He can feel the amount of strength you're exerting as you hold onto his arm to keep him in place. To keep him from hurting this person who broke not just your heart but also your trust.

He doesn't glance at you but scoffs. “Even now you defend them. Why?”

“I’m not defending them.” You say. “I just think it's beneath the leader of Onichynus to be wasting time on such people.”

He scoffs again. “You’re not wrong about that, Sweetheart.”

His evol lets go of this person's neck, and he gestures with his chin towards the door. “Get lost.”

They immediately run off.

Seeing that, your own fingers slowly loosen their grip on Sylus’s arm but he grabs hold of your hand before you can completely let go.

“Let’s go for a ride.” He suggests.

And you find yourself smiling for the first time in a while. “Where are we going?”

“Guess.”

[clarkeyhill]

Butterfly Effect | Arthur Hill

Fluff | inspired by back to life by zayn

Butterfly effect: a significant event that happens that is considered life altering.

-------

"We are gathered here today, to share the special moment of y/n and Arthur's life, a day where we witness the purity and sincerity of their vows as they exchange them for marriage"

The celebrant introduces the ceremony as you and Arthur hold hands, he doesn't even attempt to hold back the tears as his eyes flow like a river. His best friends all in the crowd watching him as he gets ready to marry his best friend, your eyes glisten as you fight back the tears not wanting to ruin your makeup

You read out your vows, staring adoringly into Arthur's hazel eyes

"my dear Arthur, Thankyou for loving every part of me, even the parts that I couldn't love myself, Thankyou for showing me that life can be full of love and appreciation whilst also fun and exciting, I'm so excited to experience this next part of life with you by my side, I will choose you in every lifetime, this one and the next"

His eyes form even more tears at your words, wiping a few away as he chuckles as how soppy he was being.

Arthur pulls out his sheet of paper, preparing his vows.

"Y/n, I've been a lot of places, seen a lot of faces, but nobodies I've seen will every compare to the first time I saw yours, you're the only one that's been watching over me, I can't remember what it was like before you. You give me oxygen when it becomes hard to breathe, when I lose my composure you're there to pick me back up and guide me. Even if I'm wrong or on the odd occasion I'm right you're always by my side; in a world that keeps getting colder, you're the fire that keeps me warm and keeps me a float, Thankyou for picking me in this lifetime, I can't wait for the future"

You can't hold them back no more, tears flow down your face as his words wrap your heart, you can't believe this was your life. Blessed with a man so devoted to you in every way. You couldn't help but think, what if you hadn't met him, what if you never saw him?

"Arthur, you may now kiss the bride"

He doesn't hesitate as his lips lock onto yours, tears streaming down the pairs of your faces as you taste the salt, you pull away and place your heads onto eachothers as you smile

"Let's go Mrs Hill" he whispers as everyone cheers, you walk back down the aisle and take pictures with your friends and family. Awaiting the after party.

-

You top up your makeup, dabbing the tear marks away as you look down and smile at your ring, flashing back to how you and Arthur met. You'd never think you'd be here right now, you chuckle at the reminiscing of the memories as a slight knock etches itself onto your door

"Y/n?" It's Arthur, you place your sponge down as he walks in "hey baby" you reply as he shakes his hands round your waist "we did it" he chuckles "we did" you laugh back as he plants a kiss onto your lips "you ready to go down?" He asks placing a thumb on your cheek

"Never been more ready" you place your hand over his, as you grasp his outstretched hand you make your way to see your friends and family in the function room. Your dress trailing behind you as you beam with joy.

You walk in and everyone cheers as Arthur spins you around walking to your table, a glass of Prosecco already waiting for you as you take a sip, suddenly George adjusts his tie and stands up, clinking his glass

"Ehm, can I have everyone's attention please?" He starts as his eyes dart to Arthur who looks nervous at the words he's going to say

"Just wanted to say congratulations to two of my best friends, you truly fit into eachothers lives like two peas in a pod, your love for each-other is beautiful to see and I'm proud of the pair of you. Not to mention the fact that if I hadn't of accidentally spilt a drink on y/n in a club one night 2 years ago, we'd probably not be here right now" he chuckles as does everyone

"No but jokes aside, I'm glad my clumsiness made some good that night, although it was Arthur that offered you his sweatshirt and I just stood their in a panicky mess, so I guess 90% of the credit should go to Arthur for his smooth tactics, here's to the pair of you" he raises his glass as everyone else does

Chatter begins round the room as the music begins to play, you see your husband dancing with his friends as his arms fling around. A feeling of belonging washes over you as your face flushes, you couldn't help but play George's speech in your head because he was right, what if we never met and what if I never saw him?

[adoreddestiny]

Hii I jusy saw your dialogue prompt post, can I please request the "what are we?" "A mess?" I think it's kinda funny, like, not 100% nsfw but def suggestive, maybe like after their first time? If you can please write for main trio, but if not only zayne is fine xD

Thankyou in advance!! (Love your writings btw!! I think you're doing amazing (*´∇｀)ﾉ)

ೃ⁀➷ POP UP EVENT !! — aurora’s writing corner

— “what are we?” “a mess” x zayne

cw. slightly suggestive, implied sex but no sex tehe

zayne’s lips feel like fire against yours. there’s something chilling from the way his lips seek yours out. his large, calloused hands search your body so intimately you fear you may cry if he continues.

you’re not sure when the two of you made it to the bed; when your shirt was tugged off and thrown to the side with the rest of the clothing on your body. you weren’t sure when zayne’s body was against yours, pleasurable waves of desire rippling through both your bodies with each thrust.

as zayne pulls away from you, his eyes linger on the way your chest rises and falls. the way your lips part, swollen from the amount of times he’s taken them to his.

you call out his name from the stillness and his eyes grow warmer. his arms wrap around you and he holds you tightly to his chest for a moment. “i’ll get you a towel,” he murmurs.

but your arms hold him tighter. “zayne, what are we?” your voice comes out soft and gentle in the macabre twilight. zayne says nothing.

then he chuckles, pressing a kiss to your temple. “well, right now, we’re a mess,” he says, “but after i clean you up and get you some liquids, i’ll answer your question.”

i'm looking for fanfics where louis and harry are divorced from each other. So like 'getting back together fics' but for divorce instead of breakups

thankyou

Hi, anon! You're very welcome! Here are some fics that fit what you're looking for!

Someone to Fly Home To by @kingsofeverything

Louis. 55 year old pilot who wants someone to fly home to.

Harry swipes right. Or Louis and Harry’s marriage ended more than a decade ago, but fate keeps bringing them back together.

I Just Wanna Get Back to Us by @louiesunshine

“Harry! Hey bro, it’s Zayn.”

He’s confused. Zayn is normally not a morning person, often mad at the universe until eleven or so. It’s definitely odd, why is he so cheery? “Why are you in a good mood, it’s eight in the morning, Z.”

Only a laugh is heard through the phone. “I’ve had two Redbulls.”

That explains it. “What can I do for you? I’m trying to get some sleep before I head over to the studio and to my ultimate death.”

“Harry, I swear to God, you are the most dramatic person I know. It’s going to be alright, there’s nothing to worry about. It’s just Lou.”

Just Lou? This is not just Lou. This is Louis fucking Tomlinson-Styles - err, just Tomlinson now - his soulmate and ex-husband. The only person that Harry is meant to be with for the rest of his life. The person he’s supposed to have children with and live an amazing life with. They’re supposed to grow old and grey together. This universe paired them together for a life long journey.

“This isn’t just Lou, Zayn and you know that.”

Or, where Harry and Louis are divorced soulmates who are seeing each other for the first time in two years.

pull me back together again (the way you cut me in half) by 28sunflowers / @vintageumbroshirt

When trying to figure out who the love of his life is, Harry’s brain brings back a specific name from his past.

That’s why, a decade after a messy divorce, Louis opens his door to find his ex-husband standing on the other side, asking for a second chance.

Or a This Is Us AU starring Harry as Kevin and Louis as Sophie, but I selectively choose to use only some parts of what's cannon on the show.

[screampied]

oh my goshhhh I’ve followed you for a while bc of your jjk works and just found out YOUVE WRITTEN FOR LADS???? 😭😭😭😭🙏💕

Best day of my life finding this out ily 🫶🏼

Also I'm late for my clinic visit. Time to stock up on my anxiety/depression/migraine/insomnia meds

Wow my life's a wreck but thankyou zayneeee

... Um should I get your current wishpool memory?

[starrylavender19]

I cannot believe he is gone.

One direction was the ones that saved me in my worst time and one of them is already gone. He did not deserve anything that happened to him. Even tho he did some things that were wrong he was just human. He did not deserve such hate. Rn all I hope is that he is at peace and finally free of his troubles. Fly High payno. I love you. You will always be loved. The worst part is that he died thinking everyone hates him and the world is against him. We will never hear a new song from him. No more ig stories, no snaps. It's so lonely without him . It's like a part of me died with him. This has also created a fear of the other members dying. I cannot handle it. Given what they mean to me I cannot handle this and idk how I'll deal with it when it's everyone that's gone irrespective of my age. Rn I'm 16 and it's so hard to move on with life after Liam. I was not ready for this. I will never be ready for this. I love you Liam and I love you one direction I love you Niall I love you Zayn I love you Harry I love you Louis. Thankyou so much for all you all have done for me... Fly high payno. I love you, we love you,I will always love you.

[kakusu-shipping]

Okay so we know Luigi makes Mario’s coffee for sure, but whats Luigi’s drink of choice? He strikes me more of a hot choccy guy, and if thats the case, when hes had a bad day does mario make some for him and kiss it out of his moustache? (cause you know the whip cream probably gets stuck in their staches)

Luigi is 100% a sweet drink kind guy. For comfort he loves a hot meal and a hot drink and stupid amounts of sugar. Strawberry milk and Hot Chocolate are for sure his defaults, drinks a lot of sweet tea as well.

Mario's not a Make something for someone when they're having a bad day kinda guy, he likes to tackle a problem as head on as possible and fix it. Not everything can be fixed though, and he understands that. Luigi's really good at comforting himself, and Mario tends to just be nearby for physical comfort when that kind of thing happens.

Mario absolutely takes full advantage when Luigi makes himself a cup of hot chocolate though, he's a kissing fiend. There will be no sads so long as he is in kissing distance

Luigi's convinced he's just trying to steal the whipped cream from his drink. And like. Maybe he is a little.

[twopoppies]

Hi Gina! i was wondering if you could help me find a fic if it's not to much of a bother 😅

so louis and harry were in a relationship and then there was a car crash (i think the car was a lorry if that helps in any way lmao) and harry lost all of his memories of louis and a couple of years past (i think) and louis goes on a date with another guy and the guys an asshole so he calls over the chef to complain about the food and harry is the chef and thats how they find each other and then they start to see each other again and harry starts falling in love with louis again and then harry comes into Louis's office and sees a photo of him and harry before the accident and thats how he finds out that they knew each other. i don't know hope thats not too vague thankyou for your help.💗

Hi darling. I’m pretty sure you’re looking for this one:

For As Long As I Can Remember (It’s Been December) by green_feelings / @greenfeelings (E, 128K)

After recovering from a severe accident that causes Harry to lose his memory of three years, he moves to London to start his life over as a star chef. Little does he know that when he falls in love with Louis at first sight, it’s not the first time they meet.

Featuring an unintentional game of hot and cold, Harry chasing memories that won’t come back, Louis burying himself in work to try and forget what he can’t forget, Liam being torn between two of his best friends, Zayn as a moral compass and Niall saving the day with good music and brutal honesty.

[goongiveusnothing]

How do you know "they literally hated each other"? (Zayn & Harry). Where do you get this info from? Thankyou.

from their own mouths.

[rockstarlwt28]

hi!! i want to know more abt your loummy fic please! whether you want to share a snippet or just random facts abt it <33

Hii. Aww thankyou love. ♥

Louis is a heavily pregnant single mum, who attends an antenatal class. Harry just so happens to be the teacher, quick on hand to help Louis with certain tasks and aspects of the class. However, one day he brings Liam along, his best friend and work colleague and Harry ponders if Liam is the father. Little does he realise that Liam is in fact married to Zayn.

Where will Louis stay when he's closer to his due date and who will he call to be his birthing partner; his best friend Liam or Harry?

Borders| George Clarke pt2

(Several parts)

Smut|Fluff

You'd started your makeup, working around the colours you were wearing, your eyes smoky and your lips coated in red. The wrap of your dress pulled you in like hourglass, your cherry hair draping down your back in loose curls. You were ready.

[outfit & hair for reference]

You pick out a plain black clutch and open your bedroom door, making your way out to the living room to find Chris and Arthur "boys?" You call out poking your head around the corner as they clamber around "you ready?" Chris replies "yeah how do I look?" You ask, taking a step into their gaze as they both smile "ah you look great" they both say in unison as you toss your hair over your shoulder "why thanks" you giggle.

"Did you text George the address" you ask Chris "yeah, he's on route he should get there just after us" he replies as you nod. You make your way out the flat to the bar, the London air sending a shiver up your spine from the breeze as you hurl a jacket over your back. You arrive at the bar after around a 10 minute walk, you head in to order the first drinks "4 Long Island ice teas please" you ask, ordering for the table as the boys find a space to sit. You grasp the four glasses as you shuffle over to the table, George was still yet to arrive.

You take a sip of your drink as you see George make his way through the crowd to you all "sorry I'm a little late" he says as he smiles at you all, just as he finishes his sentence his eyes match your gaze, the look behind his eyes filled with wonder "it's fine don't worry, we haven't been here long" you say sliding his glass over to him "first round was on me remember" you smile as he chuckles "thanks" he says taking a sip of his drink.

The night progresses and you decide to move to a club, you were eager to dance and properly let your hair down, the alcohol buzzing through you like an enabler for fun. You skip down the street in your heels "she's gonna break her neck" George says to Chris as he shakes his head "pretty sure she'd be more worried about the red bottomed heels than herself mate" he chuckles as they watch you turn into a drunken golden retriever in front of them. The city lights became a fog in your peripherals as you got to the club, you could hear the bass through the doors "one of you has to dance with me!" You say with a mischievous look "absolutely not" Chris shakes his head "pussy" you say as you throw him the middle finger, walking away in a huff inside.

Chris orders this round as you find a space on the dance floor to let your body feel the beat, the movements came naturally as your body moved with the tempo, feeling every beat in your bones. The boys stood and admired your confidence "she's really one of a kind" Arthur says chuckling "yeah she keeps me on my toes alright" Chris chuckles, George doesn't respond, instead his eyes are fixated on your moves, your effortless arches as your body sways, dancing to "boRdErSz" by Zayn, the music took over you. You hair a fuzzy mess in your face as you dance like nobody's watching, Chris catches George's gaze and nudges him "what did I say" he says with a stern look "sorry mate, she's just..amazing can't help but admire her confidence you know?" He plays it off as they head to a table near where you were dancing.

The part of the song approaches where the temp dies down, the slow trance washes over you as can sings the chorus (2:50 onwards so take it off, let's break down all of our walls) as your hands move around your body, feeling it heavily as they caress the sides of your figure, drawing attention to the curves and grace your body withheld. You feel eyes warming over you as the songs comes to an end, dancing with strangers wasn't all so bad at all, especially if your body felt that good after it. The soft pants came from your mouth as you giggle with a girl next to you "you're absolutely gorgeous" she says, as you send a soft smile "Thankyou, as are you" you say back as you shuffle over to the table, George's eyes locked on your physique as your strong walk becomes hypnotising to him "so where's my drink?" You say as you push the hair out of your face "you were busy, I'll go grab you one" Chris says going to get up "it's fine mate, I'll get this one" George says getting up, the whiff of his aftershave hit your nostrils as you take a seat next to them.

"Remember what I said about my friends are off limits" Chris advises "I know? I've not done nothing?" You say with a confused face "no, but George seems to be keen" he says cocking his head slightly "that's not my fault I'm hot" you say shrugging your shoulders as you look at George over at the bar, you decide to help him with the drinks.

"Hey" you say "uh,hey" he replies with a smile "thought I'd help you carry the drinks" you reply "ah thanks" he responds "no problem" you smile back, George pays as you wait for the drinks to be made "so, Chris says you look interested in me" you say with a raised brow "what a twat" he responds shaking his head "that means you are?" You reply with a smug look

"So what if I am? You're off limits we promised Chris we wouldn't" He replies with a curious grin

"Some rules are meant to be broken, especially if you're right on the border of them" you grin

[dogsliampaynedoesntinstagram]

hi! appreciate for your answer, thankyou for taking your time.

my initial observation was based on the guardian articles of louis shortly after the break and also on AOTV where he implied that there’s no big label/records offering him a contract (before Jay’s diagnosis), meanwhile the rest of OT3 got them. even his first single was not followed by an album (from what I learn this was what made rads hated that his career was somehow felt sabotaged).

so in the end, he needs to search for a slightly different market that would made his career more sustainable and be ok that his promotion in the US is not that massive. (not that I dont like, all his music genre are in my spotify playlist).

I guees I’m just sad that once he felt that he was left behind. And I don’t know if this was a good indicator, but I felt that Niall is more popular for the GP since he has 32.3M instagram followers, almost double of what Louis’ has. But really I dont follow the boys from the beginning, is Niall more popular than him in the 1D days?

Anon 2: the same anon, if you’re wondering where I come from, I’m coming from asian country where our references for new music were the billboard. were not in the 1D fandom, and just a casual listener. didnt know 1D personnel except harry. a listener of avicii and others at that time. during the start of solo, loved back to you and just hold on, actually pretty surpised that the singer was coming from 1D lol such a different music (but idk why i’d just google the singer aka louis last year), familiar by OT4 songs from passing on radio but not taking time to take a look into their album since the sound is not my thing. and now I’m here in the fandom since i guess that one click of louis leads ig to give me larry content and i was fascinated ‘oh this is possible and interesting’ and ‘they’re really cute, damn hell why wasnt i in the fandom when they were active’. and also playing fitf on repeat now.

**************

I think there are all sorts of different ways to respond to Louis and his career and to have come to him and made sense of what he does anon. But I cannot stand the way people dismiss the impact of trauma and distress on Louis. Here you are imagining a time that doesn't exist - a time where meaningful things were happening in solo careers and Jay was not yet diagnosed.

Jay was diagnosed in April or May 2016. The only 1D member who had a record deal at that point was Zayn. 1D members were in the studio so they could figure out what sort of artist they were and take that to the record label, and they may have been in early talks - but there's no reason to think anyone had signed with a major label.

Louis had a really, really rough few years - of course he felt all sorts of things about his life and his career in that time - that's really normal and OK. Despite that he's built a sustainable career. There's no need to catastrophise around any of this - and certainly I will continue to advocate against the erasure of the trauma he experienced.
