#WHILE GAY 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

[francisforever2014]

dean winchester was literally four years old when he carried his brother out of a burning house and he got arrested for stealing peanut butter when he was sixteen and he made his first sawed off shotgun before he had his first kiss and he almost died when he was twenty six and his dad didn’t even come to check on him and he died for his baby brother when he was twenty eight because it’s his JOB!!!!

[fryingpan1234567]

aaaaaanyways. pride month at Camp Half Blood?

if you remember that one post from a while ago (general hc’s about chb), I did say I would do a fully pride post eventually

so without further ado, I present to all my lovely gay demigods:

PRIDE MONTH AT CHB🗣️🗣️

SO we’ve already discussed the decorations of some of the cabins, like Percy putting rainbow hippocampi scales all over the walls, the Demeter and Persephone cabins growing colorful flowers all over their roofs, the Hecate cabin and its Sentient Gay Door

I like to think the Iris cabin is just fully blasting rainbows all the time it looks like a Minecraft beacon

they play capture the flag every June with a pride flag that has the CHB logo on it

limited edition CHB pride merch😭

Mr. D defending trans campers by driving bigots slightly insane long enough to slap themselves and then go back to normal

Y’ALL KNOW ABOUT THE PRONOUN CORRECTION AIR HORNS? THAT’S THE ENTIRE APOLLO CABIN + LEO AND PERCY

Some ignorant prick about a transmasc camper: “Oh yeah she—“

Percy: *AIR HORN* “IT’S HE, BITCH”

Ignorant prick: “Okay Jesus I’m sorry”

A different ignorant prick: *makes some dumb joke about “always being able to tell” and receives at least seven different air horns from all the Apollo campers in the vicinity*

Leo’s been following this one really irritating chick around all day because she can’t figure out one of his sibling’s genders and blasting her in the face every time she fucks up their pronouns😭😭😭

anyways yeah I like to imagine there’s a demigod pride festival somewhere, maybe in New York

or no there’s demigods everywhere I bet they have parade floats all the time in lots of cities and the Mist conceals the “fireworks” which are actually just godly light shows

Apollo rocks up to camp in a rainbow crop top and a pink drink from Starbucks just to sing Born This Way in the middle of the day and then dip again

Aphrodite blessing random queer couples with finding perfect date setups “conveniently” in their paths

all the gods physically restraining Hera when she tries to go fuck with Jason while he’s on a date w Leo

Percy and Annabeth in matching shirts that say ✨BEST BI✨ with the Best Buy price tag logo in the middle

Nico got glitterbombed on June 1st the second he stepped out of his cabin by the entire Apollo cabin (and Jason) and is still finding sparkles in his hair a week later

Aphrodite kids are walking dictionaries of all the rainbow terms, somehow, and they also all know which days in June are for which awareness or pride or whatever flag

campers who transitioned over the school year and coming back to camp a different gender and their godly parent re-claims them as their true self

Percy “I can’t believe I used to think I was straight” Jackson educating some of the younger campers on bisexuality and how, no, you don’t always know right away

Annabeth “I had a crush on Thalia and Luke at the same time and it was horrible” Chase always reassuring the nervous kids that there’s nothing wrong with being queer (and that she’ll fight any homophobic family members they may have)

actually they kind of all do that

Some little kid: “Well……. I don’t wanna tell my stepdad, he might kick me out”

Percy, remembering that his dad kept Medusa’s head after it got sent to Olympus: “Give me your address, I have an idea”

Piper will verbally eviscerate anybody she catches being even remotely homophobic. I mean she will swipe phones out of her siblings’ hands to tell off some ignorant grandmother

Jason does NOT get into physical altercations outside of sparring and literal war, but the closest he ever got was after hearing someone call Nico a slur (Percy and Leo had to physically drag him away from the other guy)

William Solace has white cowboy boots. I Will Start Sobbing On The Spot

Percy and Jason wore matching skirts for the pride festival and it was great— these 6-foot-plus brick shithouses of heroes who have single-handedly won wars aggressively waving tiny pride flags at each other and dancing to IT GIRL on the quad

Cecil and Lou Ellen made these magic rainbow smoke bombs, crawled up on the roof of the Hermes cabin, and slingshotted them into the masses Just Because™️

(Will’s hair was blue and pink for weeks)

RAINBOW WAR PAINT FOR CAPTURE THE FLAG.

Clarisse fucking kicked someone into the lake because they made fun of one of her siblings’ dyed hair

Connor thought it would be funny to leave a mini pan flag on top of Mr. D’s Diet Coke stash, mostly as a harmless joke, but the next day he noticed Mr. D had tucked it into his horrible Hawaiian shirt pocket like a handkerchief😭

watching Love, Simon in the amphitheater for movie night and half the campers had to excuse themselves early for sobbing too hard

Malcolm and Annabeth reread Red White and Royal Blue every summer. They say they’re Henry and June, Connor is Alex, and Percy is Nora

(this is confirmed when the two of them start a foot fight in the dining pavilion with a Chipotle burrito)

Leo IMing Jo and Emmie to wish them a happy pride (and tell Georgina and Waystation I said hello)

Piper and Leo getting into a HEATED debate about whether Velma Dinkley is a lesbian or not

”YOU CANNOT LOOK AT HER OVERSIZED-SWEATER-OVER-MY-PROM-DRESS ASS AND TELL ME YOU THINK SHE’S TOTALLY STRAIGHT—“

”WHAT SHE AND SHAGGY HAD WAS REAL, BEAUTY QUEEN! HOT DOG WATER AIN’T GOT NOTHIN ON NORVILLE ROGERS—“

”LEO! HER NAME IS MARCIE! AND THEY ARE EACH OTHER’S W A L L P A P E R S .”

Jason, sitting in the middle of them, now deaf in both ears: Lupa give me strength

GUYS PLEASE SEND ME SPECIFIC SHIPS OR CHARACTERS TO WRITE PRIDE HC’S FOR I WOULD LOVE TO🙏🙏🙏🙏

[odinsblog]

🗣️ Pay very close attention!

Please forget, for a moment, that many people live in the intersection of simultaneously being Black + LGBTQ + refugee + Asian. Instead, I am asking you to look at how the Republican culture wars are pitting one identity against the other.

DeSantis has banned any mention of Gay and Trans people, Black Lives Matter, George Floyd, Critical Race Theory, and much more… but now he is mandating Asian American history.

Florida and other Republican controlled legislators around the country are whitewashing and erasing Black history from school history textbooks, while also making Asian history a requirement. ⁉️

Please be just a little bit curious.

You must ask yourself, why?

WHY would an abjectly racist politician ban one culture’s history, but require another’s?

DeSantis is playing Asian people, the “model minority,” against—in his eyes—all of the “less desirable” minorities: Black people, Lgbtq+ people, etc. etc. etc. It’s a classic divide and conquer strategy.

Please see his ploy for what it is. We are all stronger together. Republicans know this. It’s why they’re working so hard to drive wedges between us.

Don’t fall for the okie doke.

Haven't drawn them in a while btw happy gay month guys 🗣️🗣️

[taissaswifelowkey]

it’s friday i’m in love

afab reader and ani

a/n: more ani brain rot and exams are hereee so idk this is really short. i might have more ideas within the next few weeks if college and personal life doesn’t get in the way 🗣️‼️ ALSOOO i realised that i would always write the action after the dialogue when i can just put them together?? i seriously need to wake up 💀🙏 proofread but there might be typos leave any feedback if you have any, enjoy reading you already knowwww

warnings: none this is just pure gay ani brainrot. kissing, cuddling, so gayyy

it starts below the cut 🤠

Ani was looking at your figure from the living room, watching as you prepared breakfast. She insisted to help but every time she did you waved her away with a kiss, insisting that she stayed on the couch while you handle the rest. It was the rare occasion where she had a few days off and you invited her to your place. As soon as she got up your door you made sure to take care of everything so that she wouldn’t waste her energy.

While she did still wanted to help you with breakfast, the sight of you in a top and shorts offered her a pleasant distraction. The background noise of the television, the light streaming from the window and your distracted hums made the scene look oddly domestic. She wondered what it would be like to wake up every morning like this, to have you around her. Like an actual…couple? You didn’t had that conversation as yet as far as she was concerned. It’s not that she wasn’t ready. But there are things in her own life that still needed to be tweaked and organised. You wouldn’t judge her, no matter what, but there were layers to uncover.

“It’s ready.” You announced, placing your plates and cups on a tray. She smiles as you place it on the coffee table, pulling you down for a soft kiss in thanks.

“You really didn’t had to do all of that.”

“Keep talking like that and I’ll do more.”

A slight flush creeps up her face when you serve her first, the simple action enough for her to feel warmth in her chest. You’d always put her first.

You eat and talk at the same time, laughing at whatever silly joke was on the television, and cuddling close when your plates were empty. She was now settled on top of you, a blanket draped over your bodies as her eyes were trained on the screen. Your gaze shifted from the show to her, admiring her features. Her dark eyes, the tinsel strands in her hair and the way her lips would quirk whenever she’d smile. You get a weird feeling of déjà-vu, that somehow you’ve already been like this with her, that it’s where you two are supposed to be.

“So...” Her voice interrupts your thoughts, slightly startling you. She laughs and kisses your nose, loving how you kiss her cheek in return.

“So...?”

“You were staring.”

“I was?” Sometimes you did not realise you would. Always chalking it up to you zoning out when really she’s the home who’d get you in this inescapable haze, the kind of which you wanted to stay in.

“Yeah, you totally were.”

“I’m sorry. So sorry. I was just, I don’t know. You’re too pretty and beautiful it almost feels like I’m hopeless.” You breathlessly whisper, your words failing you as you find yourself to be pushed in.

“I make you feel hopeless?”

“In all the ways you could think of.” Your eyes locked in on hers, completely lost in them. The way you looked up at her, as if she was the only thing in the world with something similar to reverence was enough for her to block out anything that wasn’t you.

She moved to sit on your hips, your heart instantly hammering. It was unfair how she made you lose any sense of yourself. Her hands inched to yours, interlocking them on your chest.

“Tell me.”

“About?”

“How you are hopeless. I’m curious.”

“I don’t think there can be words to describe how much you’ve got a hold on me.” You’re silent for a bit, lifting her hands to your lips, pressing kisses on each knuckle. “You’ve got me right where you want and I don’t want to leave.”

Her heart skips a beat at your words. If it where from anyone else she’d surely feel skeptical and possibly irked at how saccharine the sentiment is, but the way you lean your forehead against hers while looking up at her stops any further imaginings of anyone else pronouncing your words.

“I love you.” She whispers without any thought, the words easily escaping her.

“I love you too.”

You can feel her hot breath skimming your lips, her eyes meeting your ones clouded with complete love and intoxication. You slowly leaned in, flickering between her eyes and her lips, silently asking her for permission. She makes the first move. It’s loving, gentle and so sweet you think you’d melt from the attention. Her hands hold your face, loving the heat she can feel beneath your skin.

Breathlessly gasping for air, you pull back, feeling dizzy. For a moment you think you’d allow her to steal all of your oxygen.

“That’s how hopeless you make me feel.” It’s a miracle how you manage to speak while having her near you like this, the only words running through your mind right now being her name. The light reflects her skin, casting an unreal glow that makes her look like an angel. It’s a sight you wish you could witness in every part of your life.

“I gathered.” She teases moving one of her hands to your chest to feel your heartbeat. “So you really feel this way? Even when I’m not around?”

“Always.” You kiss her one last time, your hands running through her hair, massaging her scalp in the way you know offers her comfort.

She watches you as you’re lost in whatever is happening on the television but knows a part of your attention is still focused on her, your gentle pecks on her cheek every now and then telling enough. Your warm fingers trails under her shirt, her body pressing against yours in seconds. She shifts impossibly closer, her lips ghosting your neck, nearly rendering you weak at the featherlight touch of her lips.

Maybe one day, you’ll have a discussion. You’re already part of her life and she wouldn’t mind taking extra steps to be part of yours.

MORE sebsamalex hcs because i am GAY and EVIL + music taste and bodies hcs

in a relationship together

sam bursts into song at any trigger word. alex joins in. sebastian gets annoyed. (affectionately)

sebastian likes his personal space. sam also likes sebastian’s personal space. 

sam shoves his hands up their shirts while they’re just talking. about anything. he’s clingy and needs skin contact 

‘i don’t feel like talking to anyone right now, but i guess i’m not opposed to silently being held.’

sebalex always do ‘the hand thing tm’ for sam when he’s overwhelmed or nervous.

“Alex save me alex” “WHO NEEDS SAVING?????!!!!!!!!🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️🔥🔥‼️‼️‼️‼️”

“i’m out of facepaint! gimme your eyeliner” “..no?”

tucking seb’s hair behind his ear before they kiss him

hands definitely go through sams hair when they kiss him

hands go to alex’s neck, shoulders, chest,… this guy gets violated compared to the cute hair touching honestly. 

kidding they also just hold his face gently. alex my love grbrbrgrnrbbrbfnf

alex has to take everything verryyy very slowly to adjust to actually dating a guy for the first time. 

he’s also very very surprised to be actually loved and known for the first time, ‘what do you mean you recorded the game for me because i forgot to…? bro, i’ll cry’

sambastian just constantly making out. any time. any where. gay emo boys who don’t care about their reputation sighs

sambastian also love giving each other a shit ton of prominent and visible hickeys to the neck, collar, shoulders and jaws.

general stuff 

seb unintentionally has very flirty body language. he’s just naturally a man whore. the way he moves physically is stiff but he still looks up at taller guys with half-lidded eyes while talking in a low voice. looking down at shorter girls with a soft smirk with his dimples.

samalex are unintentionally flirty vocally. “i wouldn’t want you to go hungry. i care about you. you should be eating well. we could grab some breakfast. you and me. alone.” “why don’t you come to my next gig..? i’ll save you a special spot. just for you.” which they mean as friends but they just don’t hear the underlying tones.

alex would have a good voice if he wasn’t constantly straining it, unfortunately he loves belting passionately and straining his voice for whatever reason

sam is actually GOOD at singing. he’s also a natural when it comes to anything that’s artistic (painting, sketching, music, etc)

alex snores LOUDLY sometimes

sam drools in his sleep also sometimes

sebastian does not sleep. or is never awake. what the fuck is going on with him

all 3 of them got something going on. autism+dyslexia, depression+some sleep disorder, adhd. soorgy :( i don’t make the rules it’s canon :(

sam has a little nose bump like this :3

——

sam: [insert sam talking way too much]

seb: *throws a ball* go fetch, boy

sam: *does it no questions asked, happily*

alternately he would also just feed him any chewy candy he has on hand.

——

sam: i can’t wait to see you again. i love you, alex.

alex: dued 😆 like in a bro way? 😆 i bro you too bro 😆

sam: alex, please be my boyfriend.

alex: boyfreind? like a boy and a friend? i already am! 😆

sam: alex, i want to make out with you.

alex: dude? takeout with me?! one step ahead of you, foods on the way! 😆

——

seb: i wanna grab a midnight snack

alex: you’re the midnight snack.

seb: …?ew

alex: sorry. i mean. um. sorry. i mean. dude. you are. um.

music:

alex: listens to ‘whatever comes on the radio while i’m working out’. hype songs that get him in the mood. also kebby implanted abba into my brain. he just doesn’t listen to music that much.

he’s also somewhat into the strokes, the only band he likes/is consistent with. (reptilia, someday, ode to the mets)

sam: high energy rock, experimental rock, and pretty much anything honestly. 2000s/2010s rock mostly. he listens to everything. anything that sounds good no matter what genre immediately goes into his playlist. he just has an ear for good music.

weezer

blink 182

sublime

the white stripes

wheatus

the frights

and probably every single music artist to ever exist

also sambastian listen to csh together. you’ll have to fight me on this and lose if you disagree

sebastian: grunge, rock, nu metal, general metal, emo, and punk. dabbles in some goth. mostly stuff from the 80s/2000s. he listens to ‘that one time your dad’s friend picked you up from school and played music in the car’

the smashing pumpkins

green day

siouxsie and the banshees

soundgarden

alice in chains

pearl jam

and probably a shit ton of underground stuff i can’t think of 

bodys /ref

alex: not much to imagine here since he’s very confirmed LOL god bless that 6’1 beefcake. dude’s a statue

sam: pretty tall. good looking legs because he was a skater boy (she said see you later, boy) perfect ass. some scars from skating incidents because he’s clumsy

not too much muscle but has that little vertical line down his stomach that indicates he’s growing some abs (not sure what the english word for it is) 

his arms are also pretty thick ? big ? idk

broad shoulders, nice legs and okay arms. he has some bandaids on him aswell because this guy cannot catch a break. he’s not boney nor meaty, a good inbetween.

a few stick and pokes ? i think thats what people call them like a diy tattoo

also his hips don’t lie 🤫

sebastian: lanky, slightly visible ribcage. he’d have broad shoulders if they weren’t slightly curved inwards from having shit posture all his life. upsidown triangle build. contrary to popular belief, he has some muscle in his arms. to work under a motorcycle on your back has to give you some strength. maybe a sleeper build.

cis seb has a very very defined addam’s apple

i can also see a different version of him where he could be stubby looking and have some chub to him.

i also think he’d have some tattoos on him. t-scars and a more defined waist if we’re also mixing in the trans hc. maybe bat tattoos or some kind of fantasy themed tattoos covering over his t scars?

bonus: 

them as kitty breeds

alex: bengal

sam: classic orange cat

sebastian: one of those rustic black cats with the orange patches

+ this image of soogyu is engraved into my head i think this is very them with seb.. the jacket sharing and sleepy head drooping sobs it’s them

shorter dump today aswell bleg

[neonscandal]

Okay, if you were asked who are in JJK & BNHA that you can see based on canon that are gay/bi/pan/demi, which characters are they?

For me satoaugu and bakudeku are definitely not straight (yes, I ship them but I don't think they "must be into women only" like a post I just saw). Also, kaminari, jirou, toga, nobara, megumi, kenjaku....

Ah yes, a person with discerning tastes. ✨ While this feels like a sure fire way to get me into some hot water, let's dive right in.

✨🌈 Happy pride to the queer people in my phone 🌈✨

But especially these

Megumi "Only Interested in Compassion" Fushiguro - pansexual (very much choosing to overlook very subtle implications of siscon as a red herring to, of course, further contextualize ItaFushi). See also Gojo and the uncharacteristic Miwa agenda.

Satoru Gojo - Let's be so for real. Man is down astronomical for Suguru but I think there's still evidence/reason to believe he could be ace or demisexual. Can strength be conflated with love?

Kinji Hakari - waving the white flag on this one considering I'm 4 weeks behind and I don't know if there's been further clarification that might swing this verdict one way or another but support Hikari's love regardless of Kirara's gender expression/identity. Also, given current events, it'd be pretty weird if Gege slipped that in out of nowhere.

Kenjaku - 🗣️ IF GIVEN ENOUGH TIME, DO WE NOT ALL BECOME A LIL GAY!? I understand straight people probably don't have such realizations so I'm just going to sit with that reflection.

Nobara Kugisaki - be so for real. I think she had a misplaced crush in her idolization of Saori that made more sense when she left the bumble fuck countryside and could live her best life, out and proud with her muscle mommy girlfriend, Maki. Also explains, a bit, why Saori was ostracized where Nobara may have lacked understanding/context.

Maki - Plenty of gay icons without last names, queen. This one just happens to also be gay.

Eijirou Kirishima is almost so straight that he unintentionally makes a hard U-turn into flirting with queerness. His phrasing is baffling as he tends to pop up in those threads frequently with assumingly unintended innuendos but it is also reminiscent about how no one third wheels harder than a dude's girlfriend when he's with his best friend? I don't know if that makes sense but I'm throwing him in the mix as someone who maybe just needs some time ✨ regardless of the BakuDeku to KiriMina parallels.

Denki Kaminari - This kid has eyes and he uses them, gender be damned. A bi-disaster if I've ever seen one.

Minoru Mineta - IDK if his Deku confession was a translation faux pas or if Mineta, too, has fallen for the male lead's quintessential charm that wins over hearts and minds. While the Council on Bisexuality would fight me on this one... his membership is still pending.

Izuku Midoriya - I have it on good authority that Izuku is Bakusexual. Flustered by girls in the same way that any awkward and bullied kid might when encountering the opposite sex but his heart has always had its allegiance to one person. Whether that makes him gay, demi or even bi, I think it tracks.

Katsuki Bakugo - bi, pan or gay, the consensus is he is Not Straight.

Kyoka Jiro - in Smash, Jiro is a total fujoshi (she just like us fr). If you'll allow submitting MHA Smash into evidence, coupled with the canon main story, I say bi. A girl who knows Momo is stacked but also reasonably wants the attention and company of a Class 1A boy as a girl would at that age.

Himiko Toga - one thing about Toga. She is going to know and live her truth. Confidently bi ✨

Ochaco Uraraka - SPEAKING OF LIVING TRUTHS. She a little late but she has the right spirit.

Bonus, if including Kirishima didn't some how get me booed, I was going to add Yuta Okkotsu too but I thought better of it. 👉🏾👈🏾

[sparklingcid3r]

do u think musical!paul is enacting some revenge on darry by beating up his baby brother? like he must know that that's ponyboy when bob starts beating him up. how do you think darrel reacts the first time he finds out paul is now jumping those closest to him?

i haven’t seen the musical yet (dec 22 gang where u at🗣️) so i have nooo idea how the scene plays out, we’re rolling based on vibes alone rn. if it is revenge then it’s “messy gay breakup” revenge if i’ve ever seen it, like goddamn paul just say u miss him. ur doing too much

but dude. darry finds out paul jumped pony and it’s like the winter soldier just got activated. the next time it happens, darry’s got paul locked in on his scope and they start BOXINGG. except it’s the most one-sided iso you’ve ever seen bc paul’s out here throwing cute little “take that!” punches at a nasty ex while darry’s just seen his little brother get stomped and doesn’t know how he’s gonna keep the lights on next month. who do u think gets the dub

bob’s gonna have to scrape paul off the pavement when darry’s done warming up. catch darry blowing on his knuckles to cool them off before getting right back into it. only reason he doesn’t is bc he remembers his brother just saw the greatest get-back in history and thinks maybe he’s also doing too much

pony doesn’t give a shit tho bc seeing paul get washed by his big brother is literally the coolest thing he’s ever laid eyes on🙏

[linguisticdiscovery]

new words just dropped! 🗣️

Merriam-Webster added a whole bunch of new words to the dictionary in September:

It's actually a pretty interesting mix of words that have definitely been in circulation for a while + some pretty new ones—so new, in fact, that I’m surprised Merriam-Webster included them!

The first known example of rizz is from 2021, for example. Will it be more than just a blip in the social landscape, or will it gain traction?

By contrast, zhuzh in the meaning given goes back to 1970, was part of Polari (gay men’s slang) before that, and was borrowed from Yiddish prior to that! So it has a much longer pedigree than rizz.

[bakery-anon]

I lied put your clothes back on. We’re going to talk about how bisexual and pansexual people often have their sexuality invalidated. How if they’re dating a man they’re not gay enough and if they’re dating a woman they’re too gay 🗣️🗣️🗣️ I think we should talk about it. I think we should talk about how instead of explaining to family it’s easier to just say you’re a lesbian or you’re gay instead of bi or pan because that’s apparently too hard for people to understand. I think we should talk about how people don’t even think they’re doing anything wrong when they label you as something you’re not. How they don’t put it through their little heads (yes, even after telling them) that you just want them to respect you. How it feels like they don’t respect you when they can’t even do something as small as respecting your sexuality and identity. How I’m dating a girl so suddenly I’m a lesbian instead of a panromantic. There’s nothing wrong with being a lesbian obviously I love women but there is something wrong with friends, family, and even strangers deciding things for you that took a long time to figure out yourself. There is something wrong with explaining how you feel and people not listening to you and continuing to go against what you want them to. We should talk about how bi and pan (and other sexualities that like more than one gender) are often not treated with respect for their sexuality. How people don’t care enough to just correct their mistake. While we’re here we should also talk about how ace and aro people are often excluded from the lgbtqia+ community for “not being gay enough.” What is gay enough? I don’t know. We should talk about how people often think asexuality and aromantic is the same thing and don’t listen to actually asexuals and aromantics when they explain it isn’t. We should talk about how they don’t care to learn anything about them. How asexuality is a spectrum how being aromantic is a spectrum. How being asexual doesn’t mean you’re sex repulsed and can still do the action. How being aromantic doesn’t mean that you can’t be in committed relationships. Let’s sit down and talk about that why don’t we.

speak on sadist arcade gannon 🗣️

I WILL SPEAK THANK YOU!

arcade is such a fun character. i’m going to start off with a little bit of how i view him, and then go into more of the original post!

arcade is often written as he portrays himself, asocial and boring. or worse, he’s made to be this anxious, unsure, annoying gay-man stereotype.

but arcade is smart, he’s witty, he enjoys snarky banter and cursing in latin. at the end of the day, arcade needs someone who can keep up with him. someone who can get those gears turning in his brain. arcade values knowledge like no other.

there’s always something to be learned, even with a low int. courier. (my original post was a joke about this, he’s a sadist and following around an idiot in a post apocalyptic wasteland would definitely scratch that itch.)

however, no source of intimacy in his day to day life turned into learning as much as he can. he enjoys books on topics that are redundant to the world he lives in, because it makes him feel important.

being a person of medicine, he knows his way around sharp objects, he’s used to cutting clothes, he’s able to perform basic first aid. (…more on this in a minute.) arcade knows his way around the human body.

arcade was an only child, raised around enclave remnants can only offer so much. and while he hates to use the word lonely (“alone and lonely are two very different things, thank you.” he’d say.) he is clearly starved.

for attention and touch, on a level that means something more to him. i think one of arcade’s strongest points is his friendship with julie, there’s no doubt in my mind he loves her, that he values their bond. but she can’t offer what he’s looking for in this regard, and that’s okay.

arcade craves connection. he deflects anytime the subject is himself, because to him there’s safety in isolation. he’s met “several good men” in his life, but none of them stuck around. for how much he craves that connection, he doesn’t know how to do it. showing versus telling. arcade is honeyed words, but faraway in his actions. until six.

and it’s not that he wants to hurt, or own his partner, no. arcade hates the idea that someone could “belong” to him, HOWEVER; the idea of consuming someone is… special. arcade wants his and his partner’s heart on a silver platter so they can dine together.

i’m going to go through two different scenarios, but each have their own flavour of dialogue.

"I've got more experience dealing with egregious injuries than you think. I could fucking rip you apart, and put you back together again. I could even make that hurt, if you wanted. Do you understand me?"

in this excerpt, as composed as arcade is, he’s frantic. perhaps six is a self sacrificing idiot, consistently putting himself in harms way because he wants to protect his friends, arcade specifically. to arcade, he might as well be doing the damage himself. six gets cut pushing arcade out of the way? arcade can feel the knife in his hand. in this version, i picture arcade’s sadism is more emotionally charged/based.

"I've got more experience dealing with iniquitous injuries than you think. I could rip you apart, and put you back together again. I could make it all hurt. Do you understand me?"

this is the same idea, but a completely different tone. this time he’s offering, most likely based on an observation he’s already made of six’s self sacrificing behaviour. six wants a brush of death? arcade can offer that without a (serious) risk.

the change from ‘egregious’ to ‘iniquitous’ tells that the injuries go from generally bad to morally wrong. both are things he’s adept in. medicine or sadism.

all this being said, some fun ideas to consider. (nsfw!)

i want an arcade gannon who will cut through six’s last pair of pants without any remorse, maybe even a low chuckle.

featherlight touches with a scalpel or the carving knife he uses for cacti. dragging it down their tummy, down to their thighs.

an arcade who has a mean backhand, who then takes six’s chin in his hand and gives his head a shake like he’s a bad puppy.

an arcade who has six sit in his lap for hours as he works, laughs when they cry about wanting more.

arcade who will bite, arcade who scratches his partner’s hips.

arcade who lets six sit under his desk, pressing his foot to six’s cock as they suck him off.
