#The switch between how is usually what gets him XD

[tizeline]

I'm guessing that after season finale, Leo sneaking out to see Donnie is in secret. Is there a moment where Leo's other brothers find out? Do they feel betrayed, or do they assume it's part of Leo's master plan to have Donnie switch over?

Is there moments Leo stays the night at the lair cuz of tensions at home, or just because he wants to hang out with Donnie more?

Love your AU!!

Okay so here's the thing. Before the season one finale, Leo would always worry so much about living up to expectations, about what his family would think of him. This led to him keeping many secrets, his interest in Lou Jitsu plus human media and pop-culture in general, his frequenting NYC and Run Of The Mill, all of that he would spend years keeping closely hidden from his father and brothers. Then later he'd also have to hide his tense but slowly improving relationship with Donnie and his doubts about Draxum's world domination plan. When the season one finale happens and Leo teams up with Donnie, the cover is blown and essentially all of those closely guarded secrets are exposed.

So after that, Leo is done with secrets, he's tired of putting on an act all the time. His family already knows that he's befriended Donnie at this point, and not in the way they wanted. They know that he interacts with human society, and so what? Instead of hiding this part of himself, Leo does the opposite and brags about it, shoving in their face. Basically any time Leo leaves to go hang out with Donnie he will let everyone know and then teleport away in front of their faces lol. (Jokes on Leo, he is still very much putting on an act, this time it's just an act of indifference. He is very much bothered by the tension between him and his family, especially between him and his dad, but he doesn't want to admit to anyone else or himself that that's the case)

But Leo does absolutely sometimes stay overnight at Donnie's place, both as an act of rebellion but also because Draxum's displeasure with Leo really gets to him and he just doesn't wanna deal with that sometimes.

Both Draxum and Mikey are, uh, a bit salty over the whole Dark Armor fiasco, including Leo's kinda-sorta-not-really-but-also-technically-betrayal. So they have a pretty pissy attitude during this part of the story XD and Leo running yelling about HOW MUCH FUN he's having with HIS TWIN BROTHER and also how Leo was TOTALLY RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING just makes them more annoyed (and they're not even twins??? where did leo get that idea from, what is he on about???).

Meanwhile, Raph does agree with Leo when it comes the fact that destroying humanity is not a very cool thing to do, but he still doesn't exactly vibe with humans. Needless to say, he's a bit conflicted about everything which causes him to usually get caught in the middle of Leo's and Draxum + Mikey's beef where he's stuck trying to play mediator. He's not super happy with Leo running off on his own all the time to hang out with Donnie considering it means interacting with April and Splinter, which he still doesn't trust. It's not until Raph starts tagging along (partly to make sure Splinter isn't gonna kidnap Leo too haha) that he starts agreeing more with Leo's stance on things and realizes that April and Splinter are pretty cool actually.

Influencer!Sirius - Part 6 - 844 words - slightly suggestive content

The conversation shifted, but Sirius kept thinking about it. How would he react to his usual content? Most of the time he just showed off his muscles, a little smirk, a wink. He didn’t get what was attractive about it half of the time. He just played into what his comments said. The comments. Those should help, right?

Lying in his bed, he opened the reactions to his latest post. It had been another masked man video. Sirius didn’t get the appeal of that at all, but his fans had been asking for it for ages and it had worked like a charm.

@hereforthevibess

OMG LOVED THIS VIDEO YOU ALWAYS MAKE MY DAY SIRIUS

@zoned.out.the.comfortzone

If only some mysterious handsome man would tie me up and look at me like that

@SmuttyBookworm

IKR?? I would beg him to tie me up and use me

@dontwanthim

Excuse me? Where is your dignity? Your shame? Your house? Your bedroom?

@SmuttyBookworm

why is this video 5 hours long?

brb from ao3. need to get this out of my system

Sirius remembered now why he usually just skimmed his comments. He loved his fans but they could be really unhinged. “If only some mysterious handsome man would tie me up and look at me like that” “IKR?? I would beg him to tie me up and use me”

The next video he clicked on was not one as a character. He had reached a milestone, and since many fans had wanted him to record him doing pushups while telling a story, he had.

The deal had been three minutes of doing push ups. Sirius had told his followers he would not be able to do that, but he had been tasked to just switch to another exercise if he really could not hold on anymore.

He hadn’t really understood why they had wanted that for a patreon video, but started to understand really quickly. Sirius visited the gym often, but after half a minute his breath had sped up significantly. When his first grunt got out, 41 seconds in, you could see the realization dawning on him.

—————————————————————

“Bastards,” he mutters. A big inhale. You could see his arms trembling. Bare stomach tensing. A glimpse of the muscles on his back in the mirror at his feet.

“Here I was thinking you just wanted to stare at my body.” He gives up on his story. It hadn’t really been about anything anyway. “But I clearly-” a rasped breath. “Clearly underestimated you.”

Up. Down. “You wanted to listen to me making pretty noises for you, huh?” Sirius squeezes his eyes shut, teeth clenching down on his lip but a soft groan comes out anyway. “If I had known this.” Sirius’ breaths were heavy now. Panting in between his words. “I would have waited before my- ngk- my roommate was gone.” His cheeks, already a little pink from the exercise, color some more.

Sirius stops talking. His pants and soft grunts fill the video. “I don’t think… I can do… this much longer.” His eyes flick to the scream. “I will stop at ninety seconds.” Two more pushups and then Sirius crashes on the ground.

A few seconds later he seems to realise his promise. “Shit- three minutes.” He gets upright, still breathing hard. “Sit ups here we come.”

The sit ups were not better for his dignity. Very, very much not.

—————————————————————

Sirius had hesitated over posting that one quite a while, but he had decided to do it anyway and it had become one of his best watched videos.

@dontwanthim

I died. I died for real. I did not know Sirius could be this hot.

@zoned.out.the.comfortzone

I could watch those abs for ages

@dontwanthim

I can’t breathe. The noises, Sirius. THE NOISES

@SmuttyBookworm

I’ve always wanted to get railed by him but now I’m overcome (cume XD) by the need to peg him

@SmuttyBookworm

This was the most suggestive thing you’ve ever done, and you weren’t even trying. Please do it again

@hereforthevibess

SIRIUS!!! OMG ASLFPEWFHKLBIRPJFWPSDK

@zoned.out.the.comfortzone

YOU’RE SO PRETTY LIKE WTF

@Susanonymous

Sir, this is a Patreon page, not OnlyFans

Please keep going

@SassySmutLover

Padfoot’s sub era?????

“I can’t breathe. The noises, Sirius. THE NOISES” “I’ve always wanted to get railed by him but now I’m overcome by the need to peg him” “This was the most suggestive thing you’ve ever done, and you weren’t even trying” “YOU’RE SO PRETTY LIKE WTF” “Padfoot’s sub era?????”

“would tie me up and look at me like that” ”I would beg him to tie me up and use me” “The noises, Sirius” “I’m overcome by the need to peg him” “the most suggestive thing you’ve ever done” “YOU’RE SO PRETTY” “Padfoot’s sub era?????”

“The noises.” “tie me up” “most suggestive thing” ”beg him tie me up use me” “peg him” “PRETTY” “sub era”

“noises” “tie” “suggestive” ”beg” “PRETTY”

“sub era”

Sirius guessed there maybe indeed was a ‘genre’ he had not tried out yet. He really needed to talk to James first tho.

Rest of volume 1 cool translation stuff between English and Polish Kaiju no. 8 versions.

Disclaimer: I am using a "free" resource to compare the texts. Idk what changes the official English translation did in the meantime bc I am aware that they usually fix English release couple hours later.

Here we go:

Kafka as usual being way too chill about this as a front lmao.

In English he just promises to hide his kaiju side well with Reno yelling "You're not convincing anyone!"

Polish they go: K: I am a master of camouflage!" R: Not really!!

"Oh, thank god! If I'd been the only one to fail, I would've lost face as his senpai."

In Polish we don't have a concept of a "senapi" and English "Sir" doesn't work here either. English translator just stuck to using Japanese senpai in this monologue.

Kafka here talks about himself and failing as an older colleuge who has responsibility for Reno. Polish translator did something else.

Kafka in Polish version in his monologue addresses Reno directly (even if Reno has already left here). He says "maybe that's for the best. If you failed because of me, what kind of buddy/friend would I be..."

It kinda shows better imo how much Kafka thinks of others well being ahead of his own.

This next one had me giggle.

So Kafka here. English went "well, there's no point in getting scared. Let's get going" Polish went "Easy, peasy. Let's go" but it makes me giggle bc literally it says "Chill Watermelon" xD "luzik" being colloquial for relax, Easy, chill. And watermelon "arbuzik" being added just for rhyming lol. And ofc on the side we have a bubble from Kikoru.

She went from this panel and saying "hey, Mr. Older" to "yes, you old fart!". Next page she says: "Hearing issues already or haven't you washed them?" In English she says: that's right, I am talking to you, old man. Notice me already, you moron." Wow, rude.

Why are the kids so savage in this manga xD

Kafka then launches in that hilarious rant about not being old. In Polish he says "I could have been your brother!!"

Kikoru: so one foot in the grave.

Reno why aren't you helping xD "what can I say..." lol

Him using the "older brother" here ties pretty well with later rant after the lucky number one how "older brother will teach you manners" that is also in English version xD

Bonus:

Might be my favourite kafka panel idk why.

And I have no explanation or ability to explain why this version below makes it so much funnier in Polish than in English, just Kafka slightly switching to a mockery of a old "respectful Polish" (kinda: "Young lady cares to reconsider?!") xD and I appreciate the fun with fonts to deliver the punchline

Next one I think the English translation actually did better (both anime and manga in each language (Japanese or English) did something hilariously like Kafka and Reno syncing up their one braincell for the line delivery. Polish just split them.

There's no other way for me to retranslate it lol. They just say two of the many different ways to be shocked and say "what?!"

Next chapter

Here Kafka says "what about monster carcass disposal? Ichikawa, you promised!" XD which makes me laugh bc he sounds like disappointed kid when he didn’t go to Disneyland lmao xD English sounds more aggressive lol "wasn't it supposed to be monster disposal!! Huh, Mr. Ichikawaaaaa!!"

And ofc here comes Hoshina xD

Polish he goes: they haven't played that yet!!

English: "huuuuh? Is he serious?! He got a 0!"

Then after Kafka asks for a moment to try and get some combat power, Hoshina, in lose translation goes "don't try to scare me or you will... (small text: you won't get more power anyway)" but the saying basically if you know it goes like "nie strasz, nie strasz, bo się zesrasz" (bc you will crap yourself) which I think is amazing use of colloquial saying lmao and goes well with original and English which is more direct lol "you're gonna crap your pants! Even if you push yourself it won't change!"

Then he says something like "fella is rocking this! I like him already! Too bad he will fail." Which is way too definitive XD oh hoshina... In English he says "what's wrong with that old man! He is too funny. I am too entertained by him. Though he will probably fail."

Kafka during exam confident as usual

"Let’s go! Follow me Ichikawa!"

Reno: I THINK NOT!!

English: We're heading out too! Make sure to stay close Ichikawa!

Reno: I should be saying that to you!

Also Polish manga specific. Reno always calls to Kafka by his first name. English goes for Hibino. This was also why I decided to write Polichinelle's secret lol

Another one I think is funnier in Polish.

"Are you kidding me?! Was she in a rush to a tea with English queen or something?!"

In Polish "making eggs" means 'are you serious?' Or 'or are you kidding me?'

English version has simply: ...Are you serious? That little brat finished them too quickly!!

This is all for volume 1!

@kafkahibinomybeloved @quinowskie since you two were interested lol.

My opinions on TPOT 18

‼️WARNING‼️Spoilers + This post gets long + My typical Four fangirling

I won't be going TOO deep into the episode. I don't like overanalyzing every single little detail about everything. I'll just be talking about stuff I liked, stuff I disliked, and if you've seen my blog before then you guessed it, Four.

And listen closely here before I start this. I've seen quite a few people hate on the episode and mention their dislike for post-split BFB. I may have only been a fan of BFDI ever since TPOT 11 or so, I haven't been around since pre-split BFB or before BFB ever existed, and I'm not one of the surprisingly many fans I've seen who prefer pre-split or dislike post-split, but I still love BFB and I've been wishing for more of it ever since I started watching TPOT and never stopped. I get why some wouldn't like it and people are allowed to have their own opinions, but I for one think straight up hating it is ridiculous. Change my mind, I dare you. I dare you as a teenage girl with her period and raging hormones only being three something days away.

With that out of the way-

I was so excited about a new TPOT episode coming out that I completely forgot it would be about the contestants from BFB, but I'm not complaining. Just like when Four and X showed up in TPOT 6 and hosted in TPOT 16, I freaked out when I saw the BFB intro again. Except I freaked out even more this time. I literally squealed seeing it! And when I say I squealed, I mean I SCREAMED. IT FELT LIKE I WAS WATCHING A NEW EPISODE OF BFB Yeah I know the episode is literally called BFB 31, chill. I'm just so happy :D

After the intro played, I was a little confused and thrown off. It seemed like there were no official subtitles set, so I turned them off because I just don't like incorrect subtitles, so sometimes I couldn't understand lines the first time. And it took me a second to realize that Four was going nuts on everybody because of Lollipop's missing card. After he explained to everybody about the memory thing, I still couldn't follow properly until Four mentioned everybody was in each other's memories instead of their own. After that, it quickly clicked that I could tell who was in who's memory because of the icon in the top left corner of the screen. Aside from Woody switching from his current voice to reuses of his old voice which were a little annoying at times, but bearable, everything was pretty great from that point on!

I was mostly waiting for Four to show up again, but I was also curious to see what the old BFBers were up to and how they were doing. Even if it was short, I was glad to see how the interaction between Bubble, Ruby and Match continued. Curiosity has been killing me for a while now. I wasn't so interested in the events afterwards until Four came back on screen. The Loser appearance just annoyed me because I haven't ever liked Loser. Vibing to the montage music was pretty nice, I need a longer version of it- Oh and I cackled like a witch when this came up:

Bro. This goofass XD You can't blame me for being obsessed. Look at him. Also whenever his back is facing the camera, he usually doesn't look correct, but this time he does- I noticed it as soon as I saw it because it was so out of the ordinary, but I'm not complaining.

Skipping ahead until Profily (is that how you spell his name) showed up. My opinions on Profily were always mixed, but I didn't like him at all this episode. He was whiny and acting like a kid.

Again skipping ahead to Loser because I have nothing to say about the events in between Profily killing off everybody like an idiot and Loser showing up. I was annoyed all over again until he noticed Winner. Winner is a character I like because of their design, backstory and personality, and even if I didn't like Loser, I was interested in their history. Seeing Winner enjoying their Loser-Os made me so HAPPY when watching TPOT 17. Now Loser's gonna go see Winner? I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT! Maybe this will lessen or completely evaporate my dislike for Loser? Who knows? We'll see :D

Now the post-credit scenes. I had almost zero clue what was going on the first time I saw them, but I just went back to rewatch them. As far as I can gather, Lollipop now knows whether or not Profily is lying about being in BFDI all this time, and I'm not too sure about Balloony. Maybe he'll see where the Announcer is from? I don't know.

Now onto THIS BLUE COCKROACH THATILOVESOMUCHAAAAA-

-AAAABefore I completely lose my marbles, I wanna talk about the scene from the last image. After TPOT 15, I became aware of the theory that Four and X are (or at least Four) working with One or know about her. It's pretty interesting, and I'd love to see how the TPOT contestants finding out about Four's possible connection with One would go down. Four definitely knows something with the way he looked at Fanny, TB and GB when they entered Two's room. And I'm ALL FOR IT. It's definitely what got me MOST EXCITED FOR TPOT 19. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THIS? WHAT ARE THE THREE OF THEM GONNA DO? WHAT IS FOUR GONNA DO? I NEED TO KNOWWW SO BADLYYYYY

Even if Four is just as clueless as them though I STILL LOVE HIM SO MUCHHH GAH I WANNA SQUEEZE HIM BUT I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE PLUSHIE OF HIMMM

IMMA GO PLAY WITH A SHIMEJI OF HIM NOW

In case anyone else is interested in a shimeji after I mentioned it:

OKAY BYE

GK!Jason Todd x Bookseller!Reader - So Wilde

Yes, it's spelled like that for a reason XD. You can have another fic today, a gift from me to you. I love the little easter eggs and details in the Gotham Knights game so damn much.

Content: Fluff, accidental (illegal) drug use. Pretty tame, but I love this story so much.

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

Gotham has its ups and downs when it comes to being a resident, but no one can deny the beauty of the city itself. The amount of history in one block alone would make a visiting historian go crazy if it weren’t for the villains that plague the city.

Luckily for you, you’re in a neighborhood that’s well protected by the remaining vigilantes in the city. Most visitors to Wilde’s Books have mentioned Batman’s never-ending absence, but you usually reassure them that there’s more than just Batman in Gotham.

Leaning back, you continue to read your novel as the door opens. The bell rings loud enough for you to just notice. Leaning forward, you see it’s your favorite customer, Jason. Smiling, you bookmark your spot and stand up.

“Jason! Good to see you, I have your order right here,” you say, turning around to snag a group of bound books on a shelf. “I swear you’re going to read through the whole store at this rate.”

He chuckles, “It’s for the home library. It’s seriously overdue for new additions.”

You place the books on the counter, removing the receipt before sliding them closer to Jason. Suddenly, you remember what you were holding for him. “One sec, I have other stuff for you.”

Turning around, you dig around in your secret stash until you finally find two books. You know he’s going to love these. Dramatically, you place the additional books next to his order. Jason shakes his head with a chuckle, used to your antics, but his laugh gets cut short.

“Oh my god, you found it?”

He instantly picks up one of the books, a rare first edition of his favorite series he’s always ranting about. His eyes drift to the other book. It’s the follow-up novel.

“Both of them? You’ve really outdone yourself this time, (Y/N),” he says. He goes to pull out his wallet, but you shake your head.

“On the house, you practically keep this store open with your spending habits,” you smirk, reaching for a tote bag. “Plus, I owe you for the food last time.”

Your smile fades as you feel a sudden zing of pain run through your head. Massaging your temples, you try to massage the pain away.

“You good, (Y/N)?”

“Yeah, yeah,” you reply, the pain slowly subsiding. “I picked up my meds yesterday and apparently, they switched to a new brand or something.”

Your hand immediately reaches for a tote bag to place the books in, needing to possibly close the shop and sit down. Everything feels too loose, the divide between your thoughts and actions quickly blurring. Sudden heat rushes over your body, morphing into pins and needles before you find yourself on the ground.

Jason crouches next to you. You’re unable to hear his words for a few seconds, until you finally come to your senses. “What happened?”

“You passed out. You need to stop taking these meds, clearly, they’re not helping,” he explains, slowly helping you lean up. “How’s your head?”

“Haven’t had any complaints yet,” you chuckle, a wince quickly appearing on your face. “Okay, one complaint.”

Your hand drifts to the back of your head, feeling around until you find a sizeable goose egg. Damn, you probably have a concussion.

“I’m gonna pick you up, okay?” he asks, waiting for you to nod. “I’m going to sit you on the counter.”

He lifts you up effortlessly, like you weigh as light as a book, and places you gently on the counter. You hold onto him tightly, head spinning as it tries to find its equilibrium again.

“Haven’t been this fucked up since college,” you joke, leaning slightly to the right until Jason intervenes. “Never had these symptoms before.”

He quickly sends a text on his phone before pocketing it, one of his hands on your waist to keep you from falling again. “Do you have the pill bottle on you?”

“Below the register, red bag,” you answer, watching as he digs through your random belongings until he finally finds it.

“Dr. Q?” He examines the bottle of pills, reading over the label until he receives a message. Jay quickly reads it. “How many doses have you taken?”

“Only two. What’s going on, Jay?”

He sighs, weighing his options before finally answering. “Dr. Q as in Harley Quinn?”

Your eyes widen as soon as he says the name, “What?!”

“You didn’t take enough, don’t worry,” he reassures you. “A few more and then we’d be worrying. Can you close the shop? You need to get food in your system to ride this out.”

You nod, “I will if it’s Big Belly Burgers.”

“You read my mind, let’s get you out of here,” he smiles, helping you to your feet. “Can’t have my favorite bookseller in such a state.”

His words make a huge smile grow on your face, but he misses it as he turns around to grab his books from the counter. Hope blooms in your chest. Maybe there is a chance with your favorite bookworm, but you’ll wait for another day. He opens the door, guiding you out until you’re outside and the door is locked.

Your eyes wander around until your eyes meet with his motorcycle. He stares at it, too, most likely thinking the same thing as you.

“Yeah, we’re not doing that. You okay with the bus?”

Can I get the virus Narancia lore it seems delicious also your dog is adorable

I’m an absolute yapper so of course xd

ok so tbh I’m tryna pull my ideas together bc to me everything is a multiple endings game since I have so many thoughts but so far I think I have something pretty solid

so basically as usual narancia dies but uh. Idk man. His soul was kinda wandering around (whether he was conscious or a “leaf flying in the wind” situation) and I guess it got stuck in Fugo’s computer. To me they’re connected in every universe. Doomed or not. So narancias soul was naturally attracted (like literal magnets) to Fugo’s surroundings. So um. He kinda became a computer virus (question mark. He’s just similar to one, but he might have full control over the computer like it’s the system itself. I think he’d be able to turn it on and off, open files and move them around at will, etc. He can also see outside of the computer screen, seeing as he interacts with fugo (who is absolutely fucking terrified).) So when he first pops up in his pc he’s either very curious as to where he is and what’s going on (“leaf flying in the wind” situation) or he is fully conscious of what’s happening (purposefully going into fugo’s pc). Honestly I think he’s trying to ignore the fact that he’s dead by acting like usual and avoiding the topic. I feel like people don’t realize they’re dead until they, well, realize it. Takes them a while. Or at least in this au, I’m not yapping ab irl or anything 😭.

Switching it up to fugo now, I think he’s just constantly panicking and screaming and crying bc wtf why is his dead friend in his pc LMAOOOO fugo is just absolutely traumatized he tries breaking his pc, changing his usbs to see if any of any of them have a virus, checking his internet downloads, etc. Anything and everything to see what the fuck is going on and how to get rid of this torturous shit. Meanwhile narancia is just opening tabs randomly, showing him funny vids and typing stuff in notepad docs. Like genuinely just trying to be friendly and silly like before but I don’t think he knows how scary this must be for fugo.

fugo feels sad, scared and perhaps guilty (this takes place around the time of phf, except phf isn’t real here. Just using the start of phf as a way to locate this au in time. Oh also I don’t think stands exist here bc… too tedious. So Fugo knows narancia is dead, in conclusion.) he’d probably think he’s coming back to haunt him and thinks he’s not just in his pc, but everywhere. (And it might be true! I did a drawing (that I haven’t posted yet, expect more later) ab narancia in Fugo’s phone, so maybe he is able to move from electronic to electronic)). Fugo becomes paranoid (PARANOIIIIDDD PARANOIIIIIDDDD PARANOIIIIIIDDDDD YEAHHH 🗣️ (I’m sorry. T,TC fan here.)) and fidgety (I hc he fidgets w his tie and earrings… like me… ugh… 💔) and narancia is just making jokes ab it 😭. His ass does NOT know how panicky fugo feels. Fugo just wants to be left alone and use his pc but Nara fucking pops up and fugo throws his mouse at the screen every time EKISDE. Kinda like. Narancia jumpscare…

so anyway, idk what happens in between (or maybe I do but I don’t remember my ideas), but at the end, fugo starts being less scared and just more depressed about it. He’s kinda realizing narancia is trying to avoid realizing he’s dead, so he just wants him to let go of him. Like dawg ily but let me go. It’s kinda like narancia is clinging to the last things he liked. In fact, one of the reasons he’s in the pc (more like, remains in it) is bc of his old games. I think fugo let Narancia play games on his pc bc they’re friends duh. And after Nara died Fugo kept forgetting to delete his games, but he might’ve just felt too sad to let go of something that his late friend loved so much, something that gave them fun memories. Narancia is also still in the pc bc he likes fugo (/p or not, I think this can be either and still be coherent. I like fugonara but I also like when it’s platonic lolz) and obv wants to hang out w him like before. Fugo also would’ve wanted things to go back to normal NOT in that way. he’s having a breakdown every time virus Nara appears so um. Yeah 😭. (I mean wtf r u supposed to do if ur dead friend appears in ur pc bro)

So eventually virus Nara has to fucking go bc. I said so. I want this to be a bit sadder than it might already be. So he either breaks the fucking pc OR, an idea I rlly liked, he deletes Narancia’s game files. In one of my drawings, I added the file icon for his games and one of Narancia’s notepad docs next to it saying to not delete them. He probably was saying that in a “dude I love those games, don’t delete them” way, but maybe he was connected to that file. Not in a way that he knew, but he still was linked to it. It was basically his core, in the pc. So if fugo deleted the game files, he might’ve gotten rid of him. I also think fugo could’ve also left the pc. Not in a “moving out” or “selling an old or malfunctioning item” way. He might have not been able to handle all his feelings and emotions and this unintentional torture, so um. He fucking killed himself. Err. Yeah. I don’t know if this would be a well made plot point, but to me it just feels real. If I was in his situation after all of that, I’d definitely have considered it at least once. And maybe that wasn’t the only cause, I just think he’d be at active suicide risk 😭. (Btw that drawing I posted most recently ab the au is how narancia would’ve reacted. He would’ve felt forgotten since fugo didn’t interact with the pc in days. You know what. New idea. Fugo’s soul joined Narancia’s in the pc. Fuck everything. As I said, they’re together in every universe, like magnets. /p or not. Somebody glue them together please)

I thiiinnnnkkk that was it? I definitely left out some stuff. But that’s just me forgetting my own shit 😭. Hope it was yummy wummy bc I think im gonna actually put some good dedication into it.

(My dog is a pretty princess ❤️)

Veilguard: Ranna's Rook intros!

Waaaay back in November, I might have posted a time or two about my first Rook? Since then I've been a bit distracted from Tumblr by, uh, playing three more of them. XD I just started the fifth playthrough so I'd better pop in and show some Rooks off before I get too far into this one and forget how to blog again!

Possibly mild spoilers to follow along with pretty pictures and very brief summaries beneath the cut...

Caeda Mercar, Shadow Dragon rogue who romanced Lucanis (alas, yes, she saved Treviso at the expense of her home Minrathous! worth it. She did also flirt a bit with Davrin early on when Lucanis was still being shy about it, but basically I started the game thinking I'd probably romance Emmrich and then Lucanis spited right out of that Ossuary cell and through a gaggle of Venatori in five seconds flat and Caeda went all heart eyes and set her cap for him irrevocably.) Started out more of an archer rogue (usually one of my favorite DA playstyles) but halfway through she started leaning more toward daggers. We'll assume that was her favorite Crow's influence. (Or that Ranna was figuring out how to play XD)

After Caeda I jumped straight back into CC to make...

Veryl Ingellvar, Mourn Watch mage who romanced Emmrich. Whereas Caeda had the first-playthrough honor of just picking whatever dialogue options I felt like at the time, so she had a pretty broadly mixed personality, this one specialized in what, in ages past, we would've called Blue Hawke personality. :-D Very golden-retriever, Miss Positivity, etc. (She reminded me of Violet Itzli sometimes. :-D) I thought she'd be a staff mage but then I fell in love with orb & dagger so she did a lot of that too, though not as much as the yet to come 4th playthrough would...

Next up we have:

Akish Thorne, Grey Warden Warrior who started out sword & board (throwing shields is fun!) and switched to mostly two-hander (when I realized you can still throw the shield even when you're not apparently holding one!). He romanced Bellara (who reminded me of Yolotli Itzli from the moment I met her :-D ...Akish is not exactly Anselm though), and if Veryl was a Blue Hawke Rook, Akish was mostly Red Hawke, except for being a big softie whenever it came to Bel. (Also, for his endgame I played through once with Neve doing the wards on Tearstone and then again with Bellara and...I like that second one better. Oh the narrative parallels between him being a blighted Warden and then seeing Bellara get blighted but survive it too! Also I like Bel better for that part of endgame in general; it's a bit of character development - her moving from seeming more of an innocent to someone who has survived something pretty massive and draws strength from it to save the day in the end! - that she just needs more than Neve does.)

Other than Bellara, Akish's favorite thing in the world is griffons. :-D Also his eyes are supposedly violet though the screenshots make it hard to tell.

I had plans to play an Adaar Inquisitor in DAI but never got around to that playthrough before burnout hit so Akish is my first Qunari OC and I had such fun with him!

Next up: I just finished playing Rook Number Four:

Arucari "Rook" De Riva. Yes, Rook is short for Arucari. :-D She romanced Lucanis because, um, it appears that he is my Daeran for this game (i.e. I played WOTR 7 times through one summer and romanced Daeran for three of them. Guess I've got at least one more Lucanis romance to go this time around. XD) She is a mage because I missed playing as a spellblade, and a Crow because it is technically the Crow Spellblade specialization, and because I wanted to see how romancing Lucanis with another Crow went. (Conclusion: It went spectacularly! She was such fun.) She was my Purple Hawke girl, always teasing and deflecting with humor anytime things are awkward, but also generally positive beneath that. Also she got extra-large eyes in homage to DA2 elves. :-D Here is a better view of them:

She is an excellent Crow. No one ever expects assassination from anything this cute.

And last but not least...

Linza Laidir is my 5th playthrough, just barely begun! Go Team Dwarf. :-D (Team Dwarven Rogues, to be specific! We gained a Neve just after this screenshot and dear Neve has never looked so tall, being surrounded by Children of the Stone.) Don't know yet if she will be more of an archer rogue or a daggers rogue, whichever lends itself more to Gold and Glory, of course! Not sure yet about her personality (probably swinging between Blue and Red Hawke types? She did beat up everyone in the bar to get Neve Gallus' location, whereas most of my Rooks have talked the bartender down. But I think despite a knack for highly effective violence she's also a sweet little Team Mom who will be teaming up with Lucanis and Bellara for the cooking. And probably romancing Davrin. (Was I inspired by Antoine & Evka's elf/dwarf dynamic? No comment.)

So clearly I'm enjoying Veilguard overall, and from the factions & romances I've played so far, I rank them as follows:

Grey Warden

Crow

Shadow Dragon

Mourn Watcher

And...

Lucanis <3

Bellara

Emmrich

Which. Considering I went into the first playthrough expecting to fall for Emmrich, is interesting to see how it actually played out so far! Also, clearly I need to play a Warden for my third Lucanis romance, right? :-D

Heart of Steel

Fallout masterlist - main masterlist

Chapter 1 - 2 - 3

Song for this chapter:

Summary: You hadn't seen Maxson since your arrival on the Prydwen as Danse immediately whisked you away for a little celebration with some fellow soldiers after your successful mission. Those hours seemed to stretch on half an eternity, your thoughts lingering on how the Elder might feel...

Warnings: alcohol, no direct smut but orgasm (18+)

Notes: thinking about how Maxson grew up and how the Brotherhodd is like (in the show and the games, especially the scene with Max and Lucy talking about sex), there is nothing that could convince me that this dude isn't still a virgin with no proper clue on how to tackle anything sex related outside of the usual masturbation xD so yeah despite his charms and good looks, my dude Maxson is a cute awkward virgin in this series ;) aaaand sorry for the long chapter again^^

Chapter 4 - Something's gotta give

Maxson switched on his radio and slumped down on the larger red sofa in his private quarters. His hands found the glass he had previously filled with some vodka. It was far from his preferred choice but after today he believed it to be exactly what he needed. His mind kept taunting him with the image of you smiling down on him as he regained consciousness. It almost made him question if he'd died and woken up in the afterlife. It felt too real and if he closed his eyes he was still able to feel the warmth of your thighs radiating throw the fabric of your uniform, the tenderness of your touch and those beautiful lips, so close....He groaned, shaking his head as he gulped down half of his drink, not wanting to wait until his mind finally granted him the serene calm of no lingering thoughts and perhaps even allowing him to drift off to sleep this night.

Your finger dug into the Sugar Bombs you held as you paced back and forth outside Maxson's quarters. You hadn't seen him since your arrival on the Prydwen as Danse immediately whisked you away for a little celebration with some fellow soldiers after your successful mission. Those hours seemed to stretch on half an eternity, your thoughts lingering on how the Elder might feel. The glimpse you got at his true self had etched itself into your memory along with his peaceful face resting on your lap. After you finally managed to escape Danse's well-meant little get-together, you locked yourself in your quarters until a sudden thought struck you as soon as your gaze fell on a box of Sugar Bombs. These little treats were probably as unhealthy as bathing in one of the irradiated rivers but they held fond memories of your childhood, your mum sometimes giving you a box of them whenever you were sad. It was a silly thought, you knew that, but it was enough to make you grab the box and march towards the Elder's private quarters. You took a deep but shaky breath as your steps halted and your trembling hand knocked at his door. Seconds felt like an eternity as you waited for a response, and just as you were on the verge of giving up and turning around, the door swung open, revealing a surprised Maxson. You swallowed as your gazed danced over his figure. It was late in the evening, and you weren't quite sure what you had expected, but it certainly wasn't him standing there, dressed in nothing but a snug light brown t-shirt and a pair of loosely fitted dark grey sweatpants that hung low on his hips. His piercing blue eyes locked with yours as you finally dared to look up and there was a flicker of something you couldn't quite place that passed between you.

"Yes?", his voice seemed gruff and exhausted.

"I-I just wanted to check on you, after the fall you had", you stumbled over your words.

Maxson stepped aside, inviting you in. The room was dimly lit, with a faint smell of alcohol hanging in the air. He gestured towards a worn-out red couch and you cautiously took a seat, trying to plan ahead on how to approach this situation as you hadn't thought of making it this far. As he poured himself a drink, you couldn't help but notice the way his hand trembled ever so slightly, wondering if the fall had hurt him more than you assumed. Unbeknownst to you, his shaky hand was simply a sign of the nervousness your presence brought along. He cursed himself mentally, as if his endless thoughts about you had evoked you into his quarters at this late hour. He took a sip from his glass and closed his eyes, reclining on the couch, desperately trying to ignore the closeness he'd allowed himself by taking a seat right next to you.

"I thought, after today's exhausting events, you might wanted a little pick-me-up", you tentatively offered, holding up the box of cereals.

He opened his eyes and glancing between the box and the delightful grin on your face.

"Sugar Bombs?", he chuckled surprised, "aren't we a touch too old for that?"

"I guess you've already resorted to the grown-up version of comfort, but consider this", you eagerly perched on your leg and turned to face him, "what if we're never too old to have some disgusting sweets? I mean, just look at this radiated wasteland. Don't we deserve a little treat from time to time? Elder", you quickly added his title, reminding yourself who's private space you invaded tonight.

"Arthur", he replied flatly as he emptied his glass.

"What?", a puzzled expression spreading across your face.

"It's late, I'm not even in my uniform and you're sitting in my private quarters wearing pyjamas and hell, I'm too tired to bother with formalities right now."

"I'll take that as a yes to my proposal", you grinned, wiggling your eyebrows, "Arthur."

You grabbed a few sugar bombs and held them up to him. He rolled his eyes, but it was obvious that his annoyance was feigned as he took the treats and tossed them into his mouth. His eyes widened, a look of surprise flashing across his face at his own satisfied moan as the sweet taste flooded his mouth. An unfamiliar warmth spread through his chest and he was certain it had nothing to do with the vodka, this felt different, an unfiltered happiness settling within, only amplified by the beaming look you gave him. You chuckled at the sight of him finally letting go, abandoning, even if just for tonight, his usual steadfast determination to avoid anything fun.

"You've been full of surprises today", you crunched on some sugar bombs and just as you were about to continue, he interrupted.

"And you have been since you stepped foot on my ship", he poured two glasses of vodka and set one in front of you, "tell me, timeless lady, have you always been this rebellious? Invading the private space of your superiors...admitting to ignore their instructions."

"Careful, your Elder is showing again", you playfully chided him as you took a sip, your noise wrinkling at the burning sensation of the alcohol, “but to answer your question...why do you think the latrines had been cleaned this fast and efficient?”

You gave him a sly wink which earned you a hearty laugh, his head falling back as he lead out a contented sigh.

“Maybe it's the alcohol talking but I have to admit you're intriguing”, he slurred, barely noticeable.

“Same, although for me, it's simply honest curiosity.”

The two of you kept talking, from serious topics over the a playful banter and back. Arthur couldn't remember the last time he felt so carefree, liberated from the weight of the Brotherhood and the expectations tied to his name. He was truly grateful that a person like you ended up in his life. Whether he'd ever confess it to you or himself how he truly started to feel about you, right here and now, he was grateful that fate had brought you to the Prydwen. A sudden twinge of guilt pierced his chest, as amidst his own happiness, he couldn't ignore that the reasons that had lead to you being here, were a tragedy. You'd been frozen in a vault for over two hundred years, robbed of your husband and son and forced to waken up in a destroyed world teemed with peril. Sensing a shift in his behaviour, you raised your gaze towards the antiquated radio, humming along to the melody of the song.

When an irrepressible smile such as yours

Warms an old implacable heart such as mine

Don't say no because I insist

Somewhere, somehow

Someone's gotta be kissed

“Do you like music? Is dancing still a thing?”, you asked, offering him a smile.

“Maybe?”, he replied, “I must admit the last time I danced was at least ten years ago and it probably looked ridiculous.”, he chuckled, a slight grin forming on his face while his fingers unconsciously tapped along to the rhythm of the music.

You rose from your seat and changed the radio station, a more lively and rhythmic tune echoing from the small device filled the air. Without thinking, your fingers naturally wrapped around his wrist, gently tugging him up from his seat. Both of you stumbled a bit and ended up in each other's arms, the sudden closeness provoking a deep blush to spread on your cheeks. In a faint attempt to distract yourself from the several beats your heart just skipped, your body started swaying along with the tune as you held his hands, not daring to look at him.

“I'll take it as my duty teach you”, you chuckled, the tone of your voice betraying your nervousness, “we can't have the great Elder Maxson, leader of THE Brotherhood of Steel, saving the world without knowing how to dance.”

As the minutes turned into hours, the room was filled with laughter and the unsteady footsteps of two souls who, if only for a fleeting evening, managed to forget the burdens of their lives and embraced this timeless carefree moment. In that small, shared space, a connection blossomed between the two of you. It wasn't just about dancing; it was about breaking down barriers and allowing vulnerability to seep through the cracks. Arthur hummed content, his head resting on yours, eyes closed as he surrendered to the magic of the moment, only existing with the recorded voice singing his desire, evidently for you to hear, yet remaining hidden.

So, en garde, who knows what the fates might have in store

From their vast mysterious sky

I'll try hard ignorin' those lips that I adore

But how long can anyone try?

You stirred awake, eyes opening only reluctantly while the low but cthe dull but persistent pounding inside your head stole away any remaining traces of sleep you still craved. Memories of the previous evening's ending were hazy and as your vision slowly cleared, you realised that you hadn't made it back to your own bed. YLying still for a moment, you could now hear the peaceful sound of Maxson's soft snoring coming from behind you while your body registered the warmth of his pressed against yours and his arm wrapped around your waist. Carefully, you tried to turn around without waking him. Arthur's mouth twitched, the eyes moving beneath closed lids as he remained trapped in a dream. JJust like back in Fort Strong, you admired the beauty of his peaceful expression, tracing a finger over the scar on his face. Your gaze then shifted to his lips, wondering what it would feel like to kiss him. Arthur's grip on your waist tightened, pulling you closer while opaque murmurs spilled from his lips as his dream continued to hold him captive. You wiggled your body gently, attempting to create more space for yourself while turning around, when suddenly you swallowed, painfully aware of how his hardened length was pressed against you now, rubbing against your folds with every tiny movement. Even in his slumber, his body seemed to instinctively respond to the situation, as his hips bucked against you and a chorus of moans rumbled from his chest. His movements quickened, his hand moving down from your waist, fingers digging into the soft flesh of your ass to press you even further against him. However, the moment your own moans escaped your lips uncontrollably, his eyes snapped open, fixating on your flushed face. He continued thrusting a few more times, emitting a long, sinful groan before you could feel the fabric between you becoming damp. The lust clouding his eyes dissipated, replaced by an expression of fear as his mind gradually awakened, realising what just happened. Every muscle in his body tensed up and Arthur didn't dare to move anymore, his mind in a frantic state of panic trying to figure out how to navigate through this unexpected situation. The Brotherhood had taught him how to defeat the most vicious enemies but he felt utterly unprepared for this particular battle.

"Good morning, Arthur."

You were the first to break the awkward silence that hung between you, trying to ease the fear you detected in his eyes. You were trapped in this moment just as much as he was and you were determined to show him that you had no issue with what just happened. As he remained silent, your gaze shifted to his lips and you finally gave up resisting the urge to kiss him. You leaned in, your mouth pressed on his, melting into a passionate kiss. At first he seemed to enjoy it, kissing back eagerly but then he abruptly pushed you away with such force that it nearly threw you off the bed.

"I...I...you need to go", he stuttered, scrambling to climb over you and escape from the bed.

"Arthur", you whispered, following him.

You attempted to grasp his hand and redirect his attention towards you, but he swiftly moved towards the locker, opening the metallic door to take out a fresh uniform. His trembling hands stripped the t-shirt over his head and pulled down the stained sweatpants, revealing his softening cock. You gulped, the sight of him in his naked glory stirred a wild fire deep within you. No this was not the moment, you scolded yourself mentally and your hands moved to his shoulders, finally managing to turn him around. He might have been the Elder of the Brotherhood but the man before you now resembled more a frightened young boy, someone who had committed a wrongdoing and feared getting scolded for it. And then a sudden realisation struck you. While you had experienced a normal childhood and life before the bombs dropped, he had grown up in the midst of chaos, sheltered within an organisation that cared only about freeing the world of its abominations. The irony was not lost on you - this man possessed extensive knowledge of battles and military strategies but had most likely no idea of intimate human relations and...

"Arthur, are you...", you didn't dare the voice the remainder of your question, afraid it might the fragile relationship that had formed between the two of you.

Maxson donned his uniform, exhaling shaky breaths as his thoughts raced at a hundred miles per second. The memory of a book came to him, the one fourteen year old him stole from one of the Knights in the citadel. He used to sneak away under the cover of the night, reading its pages in secret about the tale of a woman's journey to uncover the delights of carnal pleasure. The power those words held, the very same emotions that consumed him whenever he found himself in your presence. In his dreams he confidently explored the curves of your body, fingers caressing down your bare back as he rubbed himself against you, the irresistible tingling growing so overwhelming until it erupted, drowning him in a violent sea of bliss. But this morning, his dream bled into reality, and suddenly, he was overwhelmed with shame.

"I'm sorry", he finally uttered, his voice fractured and filled with shameful sadness, "my first duty is the Brotherhood and saving the people. I shouldn't have, I mean I..."

It broke your heart seeing him in this state for, despite his stubborn beliefs regarding non-human life, there was nothing wrong with him and you'd make it your utmost priority to show exactly this to him. It was high time for the Elder to step aside momentarily, allowing Arthur to bask in the warmth and affection that life had to offer. Gently cupping his face, you tilted his head, guiding his sorrowful ice-blue eyes to meet yours. There were countless things you wished to say to him but all the words transcended into one tender fleeting kiss.

"Your Elder is showing again", you playfully chided him, earning a faint sheepish smile from him, "you have nothing to be sorry for, except for maybe stopping and denying me my pleasure."

The touch of your love almost physically pained his heart, and though his mind still grappled with resistance, the very same heart grew stronger, guiding him on the way for a new light and he wouldn't be him if he wouldn't master the challenge to balance his duty and his love.

"Maybe we could try-"

A sudden pounding on the door interrupted him, causing both of you to hold your breath, desperately hoping that whoever was on the other side would simply turn away. Another knock followed, shattering the brief moment of silence.

"Elder?", Proctor Ingram's voice called out from behind the door, "it's time for our briefing. You promised me we would finally address the issue with the coolant supply."

You witnessed the sheer terror spread across Maxson's face upon hearing Ingram's voice. He stumbled towards the door, nearly tripping over while trying to get his boots on. He grabbed his coat hanging down from the cabinet and hastily threw it over his shoulders . His hand reached for the door handle but the paused, allowing himself a small smile while he quickly turned around, strode towards you and planted a loving kiss on your lips.

"Wait good ten minutes before heading out", he murmured against your lips, "I'll expect you to be ready for shooting training at noon. That's an order, Knight", his words were firm, but the warmth in his eyes revealed his true emotions in that moment.

"Yes, Elder", you replied, slamming your fist on your chest in salute.

You found yourself grinning as you watched him exit the room, amused by the strict tone he adopted as soon as he lead Ingram away from his quarters.

Chapter 5 - Don't let me be misunderstood

Feel free to reblog if you enjoyed the story :)

**KNOCKS THE DOOR DOWN**

27!!!! For the WIP game thingy

hehehe

(jaytim) empty promises p. 2

a sequel to this prompt! (inspired by you, lmao; the sad animal pics won me over xD)

which, to summarize, tim & jason have a big fight… and before it’s resolved, jason gets called to do a job with roy. it’s going to be a sort of 3+1 fic, focusing on 3 phone calls they share before jason comes home. the first two calls are written and now i’m stumped lmao

there’s… a lot i’d like to share; i’m pretty proud of what i’ve got but, um… have a snippet from phone call #2

Tim tries to ignore the way his heart softens. “How’s progress?” he asks instead. The words are sour in his mouth. Work is… easier. He wishes it wasn’t. But he doesn’t know how to talk to Jason with this thing between them—and he doesn’t want to talk about it like this. Over the phone, with hundreds of miles separating them.

Jason hums. “In a minute,” he says. “Have you eaten yet today?”

“Not recently,” Tim says. He had a granola bar like, an hour ago. And he’s been munching on trail mix while he plays. So, not entirely the truth, but he wants to know where Jason is going with this.

“I was thinking, ah. Maybe we could eat together?” Jason offers, hesitantly. “I was just about to dive into some leftovers, and I thought… maybe…” He trails off, and then laughs, self-deprecatingly. “S’kinda stupid, I guess.”

“No,” Tim says, immediately. “No, it’s— That sounds nice, actually. Do… Did you want to switch to video?” He has some leftover takeout he didn’t finish last night. He’d ordered their usual on automatic, and, well. He could eat a lot, but not quite that much.

“Yeah. Yeah, that sounds good.”

Tim warms up his food before settling at the dinner table. Through the tinny phone speaker, he can hear Jason doing the same, and it warms him, despite himself. When Jason is ready, they hang up. Tim props his phone up, accepting the video call request from Jason.

The screen is heavily pixelated at first, but soon, the graininess clears away to show Jason. Tim can’t make out any details about the room he’s in; not on such a tiny screen. But he can see the man himself—looking tired, a little worn, but… He’s smiling, too. There’s a nervous edge to it, but. It’s sincere.

He finds himself smiling back, wondering if he looks as tired and lonely as he feels. “Hey,” he says, more softly than he means.

“Hey,” Jason repeats, his tone the same.

For a minute they just sit there and look at each other.

Then Jason swallows, and says, “You—uh. You asked about the job?”

He almost takes it back—asks Jason how he’s been sleeping, instead; if he reaches for Tim in his sleep the same way Tim has been reaching for Jason. He almost tells him to forget the job, forget the argument. Just come home.

Almost.

“Yeah,” he says. “I did.”

[inuysotomehell]

Soooo, I've been getting into Otome games lately...I've played phone games for years now (ohhh, do I need to include those romances on here too...LOL) but a few years ago I started picking up games on The Switch and Steam, and my organization brain said "Make a chart of what routes you like and don't like"...so here we are! (And, no, I will not apologize for my taste in men)

Tier 1 has been updated to the guys grouped by game (Fave to least fave) because I was having trouble deciding between them all who I like more than others 😅

***HEADS UP THERE MAY BE SLIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD*****

Tier 1

Yang (Piofiore series) - My all time fave boy! He's complete trash and unapologetic about it but he's just....so up front with you and wants you to be a stronger person and fight for life! I think I've replayed his routes (Fated Memories and 1926) like 4 time over now? XD (Should I mention that his voice is....the best 🥵)

Henri (Piofiore series) - Another trash boy...but he's...soft? His routes get me emotional...I'm not sure what to really say without super spoilers about the game, but he's a major trauma baby and it shows! (And please don't get me started on his bad end from 1926 😅)

Tryil (even if TEMPEST series) - My precious baby boy! Look, I love me a confident asshole and he fits the bill. His first ending....let me say I was not prepared! I hated that he did that to himself *sobs* Also...look, don't get me started on his tragic end 😅 But the second game! Oooof, all the shit with Conrad and that ending soooo made up for everything XD Ugh, PERFECTION! I've already played his routes multiple times 😂 Also all the little side stories for him they added to the first game! Gah! I could go on and on about this guy...

Crius (even if TEMPEST series) - His first game route, honestly had me tearing me up. It was good shit and I really enjoyed it. I really loved his tragic end, too. Annnnd then there's his second game route....where he just keeps making out with MC every chance he gets XD Loved it, here for it! And, again, all the added DLC content for the first game!

Zenn (even if TEMPEST series) - I really thought he was gonna be my fave or at least second fave...and nope... I really loved his character, just I feel like something was missing from his routes. Like they got cut short or something? IDK. His CGs in the first game were kinda meh, even though I did love the story with him helping MC *sobs* And the second game/fandisc I loved him having to deal with Rune and Ish XD And he and MC having to stand up to "god" it was good times and Zenn having to deal with his guilt, but something just didn't fully click with me. Thennnn there's the DLC content that was mostly super spicy and just so much domestic fluff for him 😭

Lucien (even if TEMPEST series) - I was wholly expecting not to like this guy! I usually don't like the childhood friend/cowardly character, but he was written soooo well! He admitted to his faults and his struggles and he cried and got to be the damsel in distress to MCs knight XD 10/10. I wasn't exactly happy with the ending of his second game (where MC went to meet his father....and that shit happened...) but I would replay his route again despite that.

Ignis (Cafe Enchante) - So, yeah, I replayed his route and HOLY SHIT, I just wanna replay it again XD It was really hard not romancing him all over just so I could finally finish the game... I really love his whole story and what he and MC both have to go through. UGH, so good! Trauma baby but not realizing it halfway through his route. The drama! The angst! The *edited out for major spoilers part* 😭

Il (Cafe Enchante) - Alright, I really wasn't expecting to like his route...I usually don't go for his type (plus he was too much like me with the Otome Games) but OMG, I really loved his route! Sooooo soooo much XD I also really liked Solitus and Epilogi (side characters in his route). Was also surprised by how good just the overall story was for him, honestly.

Shu (Bustafellows) - Ohhhhh boy! I'm so glad I saved him for last because it was Sooooo worth it! Hitman/Merc that smokes and is a bully to MC. His first CG of the romance route is him with glowy eyes and covered in blood...Woooo. (Doesn't hurt that we also get him snuggling and slightly pouting with a cat, too...) Loved his story and can't wait for the second game to see if we learn more about his family! I need more Yang content in my life! XD

Limbo (Bustafellows) - I figured I would like him, going into the game, and did not disappoint! I love how upbeat he is and silly he and his sister are. It was good to see some well-down sibling interactions! Could do without one of his bad endings, though...😅

Helsing (Code: Realize series) - I really wasn't sure if I was going to like him or not, honestly. But surprise, surprise he was my most fave out of the game! The drama! The slow burn of it (which I'm usually not a fan of) was done sooooo well. I do feel like his ending for the first game could have done better? But, eh. It was also so nice to change from the first game to the second and third game (even if he doesn't end up in a romance with Cardia!). And let's not get started on him and Delly 😭

Impey (Code: Realize series) - Of course I fell in love with him immediately! XD He was kind of annoying and pushy, but he was also just so soft and he can cook!!!! He's also a vampire...(though in this universe they're just a sub-species of humans? So no drinking blood or affected by sunlight). I also really liked the little bonus story where he finally got to be "friends" with Sisi (the dog he rescued and didn't like him throughout the entire game). Let me add to this, his second game story was just 🥵The sexual tension and spiciness of it was appreciated! (Especially after the first game Cardia seemed kind of wishy-washy about Impey's affection and being with him compared to all the other guys)

Saint Germain (Code: Realize series) - What to say about this guy...Ooooof. His first game route was really good (almost made me cry). The drama, and...just the whole beginning of his route...I suspected but was not prepared for that! I also really liked how clingy and needy (but refusing to voice it) he was.

Frankenstein (Code: Realize series) - Another in this game that I wasn't sure if I was going to like or not, but he was so damn soft! Ugh. I really liked his overall story (and despite him being a cowardly character). I do feel like his first game story could have been better? But not exactly sure how... haha.

Kent (Amnesia series) - Fave boy from this game. Went from asshole to soft boy so fast! But it was...well done, imo XD I honestly wasn't sure, going into this game, that I would even like him that much...but here we are. I did love his first game ending and the epilogue we got. So cute! I could go on and on with all the content we got in the two fandiscs, but ugh, it was all so good!

Ukyo (Amnesia series) - Ohhhhh boy! I wasn't sure how I was gonna feel about this guy...but...uhhh even though his route started super slow, HOLY SHIT! That ending...*nervous laugh* I love me a good psycho character and it was truly well done, imo. Loved it, would play again. Played his Later route: Ohhhhh boy! I didn't think they could make him more perfect, but I loved what they did with his split personality and that he's just there to stay when he gets sleepy now and they all just living your best life XD To add too, the Crowd fandisc was so damn good for his route! Loved getting to see more of dark Ukyo and MCs relationship!

Shin (Amnesia series) - I thought he was gonna be my top fave for this game and he was close but Kent beat him out... So here's my confident asshole of the game and I did love him and his story, and while there was a lot of kissing and teasing, I feel like the romance took a back seat to his overall story. Though I did like the final outcome of it. I'm looking forward to playing the fandisc to see what other content we get. Ooof, playing the fandisc, I hated his Later story, but his Crowd story was better...but he still fell in the rankings.

Noritsune (Birushana) - Enemies/Rivals to lovers: YES PLEASE! Also bi-coded is always a plus! Also, also, mutual wound tending! What didn't this route have?? LOL. But seriously, even though his route was on the slow side, there was soooo much I loved about it. Them constantly saving the other, he thought MC was a guy up until half-through...a little longer? (until he could actually prove MC wasn't). The fact that he actually admitted to loving MC before he even knew, too! *sobs* UGH, just sooo good!

Shigehira (Birushana) - Look....I have a type....it's a thing! Honestly, though, I am really intrigued on how his romance will play out with his brother already after you?!! Are they gonna have to run away/leave Japan or kill Tomomori?? Will it turn into a threesome like it did in Benkei's route?! I NEED to know! I need a full route with him! Ugh!

Tsugunobu (Birushana) - I need a full route for this boy too! LOL. I really loved him and that he was sweet but also kind of a bit of a bully....

Yoritomo (Birushana) - Oh gosh! I went in thinking he was gonna be one of my top faves...and wasn't completely wrong XD I love the whole "siblings but not really" trope.... and while I was a disappointed that the whole truth was never revealed *side eye* when in Shugen's route this bitch knew almost immediately.... Especially with how touchy-feely Yoritomo was being during most of the route and I kept waiting for the whole "you're really a woman and not my actual sibling" to drop....I mean, I guess it made for a good dramatic storyline, but COME ON...! Still, though, I really loved his route and him wanting to keep you close *sobs* also that tragic end 👌���

Tokiwa (Men of Yoshiwara: Kikuya) - This was honestly (even though it was a super soft and slow burn route) my fave out of the entire game XD I really liked that in the end he just wanted to open his own shop in the Red Light District so he could continue to go there after everything *sobs* so pure! Really just wish the translation and story telling was better....

Hayabusa (Men of Yoshiwara: Kikuya) - Again, a surprise route because I usually don't like the "best friend" angle but this was really cute! And, again, sucked that the story was not written well...but I also wonder if he was an add on? Because he had so little CGs and his story felt really rushed compared to the other guys...

Tier 2

Rindo (Cafe Enchante) - Went back and replayed...and honestly, it wasn't as bad I was thinking it was? I really do love his character and story (just was not a fan of having to turn him into a nonhuman...but even that wasn't as horrible as I thought). It was a cute route overall.

Helvetica (Bustafellows) - Again, wasn't really expecting to like him as much as I did. Not my usual type, but I did like his romance and story (and he actually had one of the best bad ends). He was a flirty bully to MC and I really enjoyed the tension in the epilogue where Teuta saw him with other women and "didn't want to be that girlfriend" but also that she couldn't ignore the fact, either! It was a good wrap up to their relationship instead of just ignoring the fact that Helvetica is still flirty with other women.

Lupin (Code: Realize series) - Was torn between which tier to put him in...and I really did like his character and story...I just don't know how often I would replay his routes 😅 I'd probably replay his Future Blessings story the most out of all of them.

Orlok (Piofiore series) - Okay, look, the fact that he's a chaste romance and still ranks this high on my list....says a lot (by my standards. LOL). Seriously, though, it might be because I relate to him a lot. My friend played his route and it was a lot of me going "I'm in this picture and I don't like it" XD He's a sweet little baby and I just want to protect him.

Holmes/Sholmes (Code: Realize series) - I did like that he was an added route in the Future Blessings game, and I really did like it, but, just like Lupin's IDK how much I would actually replay it.

Tadanobu (Birushana) - And I thought he was gonna be fave side romance! LOL. Welllll, he was super sweet and I really did like him...but the whole thing after he found out MC was a woman...and that he kind of wanted for her to stop fighting/protect her? (Sorry if I'm remembering that wrong...but that's why I think I downgraded to this tier). Even though in the end, he was still "I'll go where ever you go.

Nicola (Piofiore series) - Going into the game and his route...I honestly thought he was gonna be generic romance and was happily surprised to find myself actually liking him. (Plus don't get me started on his first game tragic route... hahaha) I think if Henri hadn't been a romance in the game Nicola would have ranked higher...but alas, Henri was a better romance for me.

Takatsuna (Birushana) - I wasn't sure if I was gonna like him or not but he turned out to be so super sweet! I wouldn't mind having a full romance with him, honestly. But, again, I think once he found MC was a woman then he wanted to spoil and kinda protect her more?

Crow (Bustafellows) - Oh geez. Look, I was so disappointed when I got his route for my first playthrough with no cheats...I really don't like these types of guys, plus his hair and clothes are just...ehhhh. But seeing him in the other routes, I totally get why I got him, and honestly, his romance wasn't bad! It actually kept me engaged (though his bad end was kinda out of nowhere for me). I'm surprised he ranked as high he as he did, honestly.

Benkei (Birushana) - I really went in thinking he might be my fave...on screen he's perfect (red hair, face scar, big lovable oaf) but his story was just kinda....meh. I didn't by any means hate him or the story, but I will say....that I really liked one of his random bad ends 😅😅 It just that he found out about MC's secret right out the gate and so of course he felt the need to protect her and keep her safe...and it took more than halfway through the route for her to be "STOP IT"

Iroha (Men of Yoshiwara: Kikuya) - Another that I wasn't quite sure how to rank...but he ended up here because I did like the twist in his story and overall attitude. I could have done without all the fucking drama one after the other...And his second story was kind of meh, but I would probably replay his first route.

Takao (Men of Yoshiwara: Kikuya) - OMFG!!! Like WTH even was this route??? XD I'm still torn on if I would actually replay it, but look, I was not expecting that maybe-incest plot! The story overall wasn't bad and was actually kind of cute which is why he made the "might replay", honestly.

Tier 3

Mozu (Bustafellows) - Disappointed! I was so excited to play his route because he was the animal lover and logical brain...and just...his whole route was about death and grief. I do still love his character, and his epilogue helped explained things...but like why wasn't it at least mentioned in his main route???? Ughhhh. Just...and the fact that 99% of his CGs from his romance route involved death or crying....just a let down and still don't understand why the creators went that hard and couldn't give some more fluffy CGs. Let me say, replaying it wasn't as bad (so moving him up to this tier...but still....)And OF COURSE I LOVE his tragic end XD

Tomomori (Birushana) - OH BOY! Let me tell you about this bitch...I LOVED LOVED LOVED him in all the other routes! By far! Unhinged murder man at his best! And then....his romance route comes around and it WAS SO GOOD at the start...and then....he just does a complete 180 when he "falls in love" and just wants to lavish affection and protect her.....😡😡😡 NO, game devs! HE CAN WANT BOTH!!!! Let my villain be unhinged and a dick! There was no need for that bullshit "twist"! Ugh! So fucking disappointed. But then...there's his bad ends....which were honestly so perfect! Loved them!

Misyr Rex (Cafe Enchante) - The romance just fell flat for me. I did like his character, and the story and side characters were all soooo good, but there's just something about the overall romance that I just didn't care for. It wasn't bad...but it wasn't good either...hence why I started this new category XD A secret third thing that I'm not sure if I would replay or not and while there were very good things, there also things I just did not care for.

Toma (Amnesia series) - Soooo, you would think he be exactly my type, but NOPE. My problem with him, being "he was doing it for your own good in the end" FUCK THAT! He drugged MC and kept her in a fucking dog cage!!!! That is not alright! And ya know what, I didn't even have a problem with that in the end...it's the way MC was all "no, it was okay and I forgive you because you were protecting me"!!!! WHAT???? GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE! The fact that MC was just so chill about it and he was the one that was freaking out and kept having to ask if it was all really okay! Hence he ended up in this secret third thing. Would I replay his route? IDK...for certain parts, or maybe I'll just go back and look at certain CGs XD I don't think a character/story has got me this riled up since Dante (Piofiore) and yet...it's still not as horrible as all that. Update to add after playing through CrowdxLater fandisc, I actually kind of like him a little better. Not enough to really move him in the rankings, but it was nice to see Shin get to punch Toma and call them both out for being in a toxic ass relationship. And Toma finally talked MC into locking him in the dog cage 🤣

Ikkyu (Amnesia series) - Ugh, so he's kinda the opposite from Toma. I didn't like his character. The whole fanclub/bullying thing...Like him stepping back and not paying attention to MC so she would be "safer" and yet she wasn't, was she???? Just fucking stand up to them and put your fucking foot down! Annoying as hell. He may end in the Nope row...but for now I still wouldn't mind replaying his route (for whatever fucking reason) and still not as bad as Dante. To add: Played his Later route and what a fucking turn around! I really loved his route (probably one of my top faves!)

Canus (Cafe Enchante) - Wasn't a big fan of his romance, but I would def replay his route for the side characters XD Again, the overall story wasn't bad, I just didn't care for the romance that just never seemed to actually be there, imo. And then he married you in the epilogue??? Like, WTF??? MC clicked so much more with all the other boys and yet none of them proposed marriage...It was just kinda weird and felt kinda cheap.

Kagura (Men of Yoshiwara: Kikuya) - His route was cute and I did like his character and overall story, but there was just something meh about his route...again, could just be the horrible translation and story telling of the game...

Tier 4

Gilbert (Piofiore series) - Again, should be exactly my type! The eyepatch swoons The Charmer Swoons But between Yang and Henri and even Orlok...Gilbert's route just fell flat/ did nothing for me. I do remember liking some of it, but it just didn't hit the way I wanted it to.

Tier 5

Shungen (Birushana) - Looook, I himmed and hawwed over how to rate him because while I fucking hated most of his route and it frustrated to me no end, I still don't feel like it was as bad as Dante XD But this BITCH, THIS BITCH! UGH. That he just wanted to keep you out of having to fight (I get it, that's what she said she really wanted was a peaceful life), but when she was like "naw, I gotta do this for the greater good" and he was still like "but, but, but, I wanna keep you away from it. Let me be the one with the horrible destiny" NOOOOO. If you really wanna go the "peaceful" route then neither of you should be doing that! UGH. But, yes, then of course you find out that he really was the true heir all along (fucking knew it! This bitch looked too much like Yoritomo! XD) and all the other horrible shit that happens....and MC pretty much getting imprisoned by the emperor and Shungen just drops in with his horrible fucking plan that was I waiting, WAITING, for MC to step up and either throat punch him or straight up turn him down and instead she was all "okay, I'll go with you no matter what" FUCK THAT! SO PISSED! UGH. But....I guess in the end it wasn't all bad because they both got severely injuried all for their stupid ass plan and had to run away because they're now traitors...UGH. Still, though, just UGH. I will say, again, haha, you should know me by now: I LOVED his tragic end! Ooof, what a fucking way to go with that!

Dante (Piofiore series) - Hahahahahhaha. Nope, just NOPE. The beginning of his routes, honestly, weren't bad....but halfway through I completely lost interest and his "big flaw" of being too nice (he was actually a big fucking coward! And he wasn't even really do the real work for his mafia group unless he had the explicit input of Nicola!)....Get the fuck out of here! I need men with meat on their bones...or maybe I should say chewing on the bones of other people? LOL. The only times he was really interested was when Nicole died! And then he just became completely unhinged, but like, honestly, so much better of a character XD

[pin-crusher2000]

1. What are Jon's favorite ice cream flavors to you?

2. It's been switched up a couple of times in canon, so what's his favorite sport in your universe?

3. What are his favorite pizza toppings?

4. Since him and Kathy are dating in your world, what is their first date like and how did they confess?

5. What's his favorite season?

6. Does he have a favorite type of flower?

7. What would you say is a movie that he usually really loves watching?

8. If he were to dye his hair, what color would it be and how far would he go with said coloring?

9. If he were to get a tattoo as a young adult, what would it be of, where would it be drawn or written on him, and would it be big or small?

10. What's his favorite video game?

Holy (insert censor beep here)! That’s a lot! XD @spider-jaysart good questions! I do like these types, there should be a book full of these for DC characters; you know Superman in the 2000s likes Metallica?

1: it’s canon that he loves chocolate ice cream, I can definitely see him loving cookies & crème.

2: it’s baseball & wrestling (he does like bowling & playing soccer with his brothers, Chris, Kon, & Osul later)

3: pepperoni is his go to topping; maybe extra cheese too. (For a crazy topping, he can do pizza rolls 😉)

4: hmmmm, for confession, it was after the battle with Manchester Black (the difference is her grandpa lived & ONLY him “betrayed” the family, Kathy was on Jon’s side the whole time) they both were sitting on the tree branch & both did a lip kiss.

Their first date was a trip to the movies, How to train your dragon: the hidden world, & then spend the night at the county fair.

5: cliche but I can see him loving summer; ice cream trucks & no school XD

6: hmmmm Kathy is his favorite flower XD most likely Sunflowers due to living on a farm & the word sun is part of him.

7: I say Benchwarmers (due to it being a baseball movie & it’s “famous” beef stew scene) & a tie between Shrek 1 & Kung Fu Panda 1. (Due to the memes & good stories)

8: I say either red & blue, (it becomes bright orange for his anime transformation I gave him) & he dyes it fully or just the front.

9: I say a S symbol on his left arm, his gf’s name on his right arm.

10: he likes your typical late gen-z early gen-alpha games like Fortnite, Minecraft, Roblox, etc… but he was introduced to games like mortal kombat & Star Wars battlefront from his siblings (mostly Kon & Chris)

Thanks for the questions! Love to answer more! :D I don’t mind a lot of questions only if they are simple like yours. 😅

[mrboogerlip]

Role-swap perhaps? 🤔

Without the burden of the mafia life, Rolando’s life in this alternate universe is actually quite normal. His family is lively as usual and his parents always encouraged him and his siblings to be independent, so he still maintains that aspect of himself. He was still rebellious and quite the troublemaker as a teenager– so much so that he was sent to a boot camp for delinquents! It was there that he (kind of, but not really) straightened out and gained an interest in law enforcement.

Rolando still has his earrings– he just removes them when he’s on duty since it’s the policy. It'd probably be easier if he just removed them entirely, but he's really persistent about keeping his style! XD

On top of how Estevan's family life already was, he also has the added burden of the mafia life. The “business” being owned by his mother, she encouraged him to live the life as a mobster to the fullest, so as to not make a fool of himself in front of others in the underworld. To Estevan, this meant taking pride in his work. (And trying to enjoy the nightlife... among other things LOL the one universe where Estevan isn't a virgin...) He “taught” himself to enjoy assassinating his targets– to enjoy destroying people’s lives in everything else that he does... All to keep himself sane. If it all makes Rana happy, then... he's happy! Right?

This outfit is actually one of the outfits he has in canon– just with a coat added!! Can you believe it? Estevan is just one coat away from becoming this version of himself...

The story is a little different... While Rolando is with law enforcement, he isn’t undercover. He’s just a regular cop who stumbled upon Estevan doing… his usual business … and thus started a silly little rivalry between them! Estevan practically enjoyed getting found by Rolando! Rolando is one of the only people who could keep up with him, while Rolando just likes Estevan because he’s exciting… and hot! Estevan typically made an escape before Rolando could truly catch him– and even when he did catch him, Rolando would just… have his way with Estevan LOL

Wow, it’s kind of hilarious how why they like each other has been switched around between them XD

Where are the other characters? Well, it’s only Estevan’s and Rolando’s families that have swapped roles. Since Rolando’s family is basically normal, they don’t really have important roles… Unless they have something secret going on that I don’t know about?! Ed is gone from Estevan’s life as usual LOL I always think Estevan would be more grounded if his father was around, so we can't have that. He has to be as obsessive as his mother or else it won't be the same... Aaaand I really don't know what to say about everyone else.

It’s kind of funny to think that Rolando would be getting along with Morgan as his superior when Morgan hates Rolando’s guts in the canon story…

Honestly, I don’t think I thought about this that well. I basically discarded some elements to their world that are in the canon story, which seems kind of lazy. But maybe I can think of it more some other day XD

Sorry for taking nearly half a year to respond to this!! I was waiting until I thought of something good... Which I never did, but I tried!!

[midnightfire830]

In the Ghost au, did cuphead and mugman live the entire story (Inky Mystery)? If so how did the Questers, the House, the circus crew, and Cannikin handle it? Large number of ppl XD

Live the entire story? I assume this is a typo or maybe I’m just dumb and can’t decipher what you mean. I mean, in IM cuphead and mugman are alive as of date so ghost au cupbros would be too. But I’m guessing the second question is your main question?

So! I’ll tell you HOW they found out AND their thoughts on it.

Bendy found out during Cup’s rampage after “Mugshots” (you know what I’m referring to). During his rampage he was switching between consciousness for so long I’m going to assume that maybe he was constantly flickering between forms with no real control. So Bendy would see him switching. Bendy would be super confused and bewildered at the moment but he’d push it off in order to get Cuphead to the hospital and moving on their quest. Later as the cupbros join the quest Bendy would ask for some more details. He would try his best not to pry and leave it as Cup’s buisness, sure that if there was something he NEEDED to know, Cup would tell him in his own time. Plus he’d try not to judge because he knows a lot about people giving him crap for be a demon. So he gets it. Eventually he becomes so chill with it he and Cup oftentimes joke and tease about it. A lot of pranks and a LOT of puns.

Felix and Boris would find out at about the same time while they were fighting Cala in the mountains. Cuphead integrates his fighting with his ability to turn into a ghost by flying around and phasing to avoid blows, that sort of thing. It becomes such an ingrained thing that he does it without thinking about the questers seeing him. So of course Felix and Boris would see.

Boris would be super freaked out, really confused, and really really worried. He most likely thought that Cuphead had died just then and there and panicked. After the fight, and some explanations he’d calm down a lot. He’d still be unnerved about it and concerned, but he’d also think it was super cool. Felix would be fascinated and ask a billion questions.

Holly would accidentally stumble upon turning Cuphead into a ghost. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time. (Or maybe she was staking, nobody will ever know). She immediately drilled him with questions. Cup would be cold and curt with her quesitons and not share too much about it, but still answer a few questions, and Holly would back off. But his silence didn’t stop the brewing ideas, theories, and questions she had.

With Alice, maybe Cuphead would casually mention it in conversation? Like they were talking about him previously getting hurt and he’d say “Well, usually I just turn ghost so I don’t bleed out and to last longer…” Alice would stop short at that and ask for a clarification. Cuphead, realizing he never told her, explained the situation, or whatever all the other questers know, to keep her up to date. Her healer side would immediately flare up and she’d be super worried about him, she’d lightly prod with a few questions and how it worked, and then just casually talk about it. Generally she’s ok with it, as long as Cup isn’t actively being hurt or anything. Maybe a bit of pity for him literally dying and being brought back to life. Also puns. Ghost puns galore.

I think the people in the House in general would slowly find out one by one. He doesn’t really keep it a secret, he just doesn’t talk about it much. He’d just, drift into the room in ghost form and scare the ever loving crap out of the residents of the house. Oddswell would have questions. Red would just roll her eyes annoyed that she’d have to deal with this now. Granny would be very concerned for Cuphead but accept it nonetheless. Jerry would absolutely HATE it. Cup definitely abused his powers to prank Jerry so many different times. At some point there’s definitely a bunch of house rules like “No ghosting while someone’s cooking in the kitchen” specifically for Cuphead.

Mickey would find out while he’s invisible snooping around the house during Nightmare Night. He’d just see cuphead turn into a ghost right in front of him. He’d be a little spooked, a little curious, but he’s definitely seen weirder things so he isn’t bothered by it.

Oswald found out on the train to the Far West. Probably snuck up on a cuphead and spooked him and Cup turned to his ghost form out of instinct. It definitely startled Oswald and we was absolutely speechless when he saw it happen. Eventually he’d get over his shock and be cool with it. He later on probably teases cup for it.

I don’t think Donald and Goofy would know about it. Maybe Donald while they’re in the labyrinth. If he did Donald would either be shocked and surprised (in a zany way I guess). Or he couldn’t care less. “Oh great. The guy with a cup for a head can turn into a ghost. Whoop-de-cussing-do.” Either way later on he really doesn’t give two cusses about it.

I’m not sure if the bunny kids would know. If they did though, it would be when they dragged Cup and Bendy off to do Oswald’s dare. Cup would turn into a ghost and try to run away and Mugs/or maybe Ozzy would whip out a spray bottle of salt water and shoot him out of the air. Cup would be forced into his normal form again and fall flat on his back left to the billions of bunny children who’d ask billions more questions.

I think that covers everyone. Let me know if I missed anyone or if there was someone else you wanted a reaction from. ☝️

Thanks for the ask!!

[dootznbootz]

hehehee that writing ask: 3, 5, 6 and 7!

HEHEHE indeed!!! >:D Thank you, Niko!!!

3.) What loves do you tend to write about? (You knew which question I was DYING to answer >:))

Honestly? All of them! I do tend to write romance as the center but I think it's really important to show different "loves" going on even with the same characters. Honestly, for the romance, I like showing multiple as, for example, you should definitely consider your lover a friend xD can be kind of obsessed with them and "still get butterflies" in a way. (not necessarily nervous. as with "long time love" you shouldn't be nervous around your love anymore, but you can be GIDDY >:D ) I have a LOT of thoughts on how love and showing it :P I'm a very affectionate person so it's nice that it usually kind of comes easily to me :D It's funny because even though I was excited for this question once I tried to answer it, it was kind of hard to. As there is just... SO MANY FEELINGS ABOUT IT!!! I love people caring about each other!!! I love having "shitty moments" still being met with love as that's what matters! Loving people at their worst!!! TRUSTING that you CAN be not at your best and still knowing they'll be there for you? That you have them no matter what??? And this can be for ANY love too!! I just am a sucker for romance in particular for whatever reason :P Honestly I think what's most important in a way is the smaller moments. She looks between seashells to figure out which one will be "the middle pendant" and have him look at her so she can see which ones match his eyes best. They tell each other about each other's day and he's so excited to tell her that family friend's puppies have finally opened their eyes. SMALL MOMENTS OF "Hey! I care about you and I wish to share something with you/have a lil something of you" I love the little things!!!

5.) Would you rather write a happy or a sad ending?

Honestly, I'm a sucker for both depending on the context. I usually try to end on a "hopeful note" or at least let it be known that "It's bad now but it'll be fine soon." I mean...take the Telegony for example, that's a sad ending and I hate it. there's nothing really happy or hopeful about it. A "sad ending" I plan for a fic would probably be that "after the Palladium stolen" incident where Menelaus and Odysseus have a good cry about things. It's sad, they're not necessarily happy with where they're at right now...but they're both at least HOPEFUL and determined to GET that happy ending. That'll just be a moment of...bad. :D

6.) What POV do you like writing in?

I actually love switching from character to character >:D There's not many instances where I don't do that. (probably if one character is "secretive to the other" that'd be the only reason why but even then I'd probably write a snippet of the other POV as a "bonus" afterward :D I love having characters react to each other and have introspection about what's going on!!! :D

7.) Favorite description in WIP >:)

This is probably so far :D Yeah, she was just sick earlier so it's a happy moment!

He placed a few soft kisses on the once sweaty and pale forehead that he would push her hair away from. He cupped her other cheek, pulling her face closer to his own to continue his affection. The kisses only stopped momentarily as he could not hold back his grin as he squished his nose into her cheekbone, no longer red from fever but from joy. Her sharp teeth glinted as she giggled and squirmed. Her body was sore and moving so much hurt her ribs but she couldn’t bring herself to push him away. She leaned away from him, as his hair was tickling her; it only left her neck vulnerable. He nuzzled himself on the pulse point, the same spot he desperately felt during the past week. Her laughter, although still hoarse, was his goal; she truly meant it when she said she was feeling better.

That one's shorter. :D I have a lot of little bits here and there that I love but they're...LONGER and also probably a bit much :P as you know I like showing "love despite unpleasant moments". And she's stubborn and sick. I LOVE LIL SILLY AFFECTIONSDFK sj

[katyspersonal]

Damian and Mico cute headcanons 🙏

☁️ Damian would be 'fatherly' (or motherly? xd) partner for Mico, as he is somewhat older and is quite mature and more stable emotionally. Micolash could really find the most comfort in collected partner that could calm him down. Micolash can be an intense person! He had quite emotional problems, PTSD and nightmares even before the cosmic horrors, but Damian naturally would want to hold a person like this and tell them it will all be okay.

🐚 On the other hand, Damian's softness and caring attitude leaves him vulnerable for anxiety episodes. He has to watch all these darn kids go insane and is powerless to pull them back! But whereas Damian is very stoic person that is good at suppressing such feelings to be the "strong one" in any company, Micolash is a person he can open up about this vulnerable side to. Mico knows a lot about herbs and meds, and is able to make good tea, incense and other stuff to calm the nerves. So, he will take care of Damian, always able to identify when Damian is at his mental limit and not acting as his usual self. No one else is able to see past Damian's poker face like that! x)

☁️ They actually happen to share a lot of skills and knowledge. Both can cook well and love doing that, both love animals and can take care of them (sweet simpler times BEFORE Micolash would start switching heads of crows and dogs with one another ;-;), both have advanced medical skills, all that. Damian used to keep the vivarium at Byrgenwerth and using his biology knowledge to help with studying weird plantlife and fauna, but Micolash was a rare case when Damian had almost nothing to teach him...?

🐚 Them both being so similar in their life skills would make it not certain who does what chores, so they'd have to decide whose turn it is now through playing a game (from rock-paper-scissors to chess)! EXCEPT for cleaning. This one is always on Damian because Micolash is too lost in thoughts to watch his surroundings x)

☁️ Micolash would soon surpass Damian in his skills though, becoming way more advanced in both medicine and arcane. In my "official" timeline at some point the dynamic would slightly shift to Damian being more like a butler/bodyguard/assistant than a 'dad'! You might remember me depicting Damian helping Micolash to dress up for an event or kissing his hand. He is to Micolash what Yurie is to Rom, but he would not mind. In the 'nothing bad happened and everyone lives' or 'modern' AU, Damian would just straight up end in this role, taking care of Micolash's room, meals and schedule, whereas Micolash would be that wonky scientist type always too into his research to remember his basic needs.

🐚 Basically, they have potential for* both* very equal and supportive relationship and for more clearly distributed 'roles'. Which way it shifts just depends on how interested Micolash would be in healing and simple life pleasures, I bounce between two versions of this dynamic for this reason!

☁️ Perhaps not very 'cute' one, but Micolash would be rather possessive over Damian, feeling very uneasy if Damian gives a lot of attention to someone else. At least a couple of times, he pulled Damian away from someone that also needed his care and attention. This is usually the subject of their fights. Micolash becomes a LOT like a little baby when he gets jealous, just... straight up the vibe of a son of a single mother that will be upset if she tries to date someone because he wants her attention just to himself. Abandonment issues, man. I'd say although this is unhealthy, it is sort of... bittersweet reason for the fights? Sometimes Damian would manage to reassure Micolash that he is still the most loved person for him and he'd get to him as soon as he'd help that other friend/student/whatever. While waiting for Damian to be "all his" again, Micolash would become even more aloof than usual, spending the entire wait time making something nice for Damian (like a cake, a drawing, sewing him some cute shirt, etc). Not just for the sake of Damian, but for his own too, as that'd feel like connection while being separated.

🐚 They really love sea shells, both of them. If they could go to the beach properly, they'd collect a lot of them. And end up trashing their house with them, too, because none of them would have the heart to not hoard -_-" Collecting cool rocks is their second favourite thing. Basically, their 'dates' tend to be going on adventure somewhere to collect various wonders of nature! They legit need someone more reasonable to stop them and understand they do not need that much stuff hoarded xD

☁️ They have mismatched sleep schedules, like, very much so. So since there is a problem with going to bed at the same time, they read each other books before sleep! Damian will read him various stories, and Micolash would read him creepy ass scientifical research papers on experiments, surgery etc. Damian still sleeps like a baby tho because what matters is that Mico sounds genuinely excited and is sharing something he loves with him xD

who gets annoyed more easily? i think it depends on what the annoyance is but probably jonathan??

who initiates sex? both ;)

who asks who for their hand in marriage? jonathan gave steve the promise ring so i think technically jonathan?? but for an actual proposal it's kind of up for grabs, i've always imagined it being steve the one to propose lmao

my muse's favorite memory of yours: probably when steve asked if he wanted to move in with him, it was really special to him because he doesn't think very highly of himself and felt so loved knowing someone liked him enough to ask him to do something like that.

a regret my muse has regarding yours: he just wishes he knew how to differentiate between his feelings for steve and his feelings for nancy, and how he wanted to get closer to nancy so he could in turn get closer to steve.

if they could change one thing: probably nothing, jonathan thinks what they have based on what's already gone on between the two of them is the result of everything that's already gone on, so he probably would be hesitant to change anything.

their love languages according to my muse: physical touch and quality time, with some inklings of gift giving and words of affirmation every now and then.

SOFT SHIP MEME . ( regarding @stopthecarrrr )
