#WOW see THIS is why I take uhhh. months???

[b-blushes]

*guy who felt so dreadfully ill that they uncontrollably cried in a very busy train station today (not pictured) voice* LAUGHING AND SMILING TODAY!!! did my first hospital trip for my new round of diagnostics testing yaaaaaaay <3 everyone was so kind to me, i am unfortunately afflicted with 'nerfed by travel' so i felt so bad. so so so bad. but the actual hospital stuff was a breeze in comparison hahahaha yaaaaay (: i got to see LANDMARKS! and blue sky! (first one is a nice little back uhhh plaza i found away from the road to sit down on the ground after travelling to the city and go 'auuuuugh whadda hell happened to me' and eat some dry crackers and text my friend and leave a little pile of crumbs for the pigeons. then it's the shard. then the walkie talkie building (the walking talkerrrrrrrr). then the london eye far away out of a dirty train window)

i saw from various windows - four red kites - two muntjac deer - two separate big flocks of geese - two cormorants - pigeons (many) (:

i learned - why i can't travel for leisure hahaha (rip) - TAKE MULTIPLE ICE PACKS WITH ME to aid me when i feel so ill - put backpack on legs for deep pressure improvised style - to put my suitcase down on its side and ELEVATE MY FEET when i'm on the train so i do not experience symptoms blast - the supremacy of deconstructed sandwich for lunch (cook all the stuff for delicious sandwich but cut it up all tiny with mango chutney in a separate box. then eat with a fork and profit) - that you will be in so many situations that you can learn from <3 including ones that feel so bad <3 but you can do it! - the power of friendship (boosted) - the power of printed maps (did not get lost once. although i was moving through locations that were very close to each other :P) - new reading setup: (kindle on top of lunch cooler on top of suitcase in front of me)

WOW! MADE IT! NOW TO DO IT ALL AGAIN FOR MORE TESTS LATER IN THE MONTH <3 AND THEN AGAIN TO SEE MY CONSULTANT AGAIN <3 YAY <3 i feel more confident now though and also really enjoyed seeing these sights and sitting outside (:

sigh how do you write lore like,, i want my little guys to smooch n stuff but !! why do they smooch !! how did they get to a point where theyre smoochin !!

all i have for caine rn is just like childhood stuff but its not even really all thought out tbh,,

warning for bad writing probably because idk how to write seriously

the first idea i ever really had for caine was that he had two mommas one was pop and the other was rock and they were soooo in love or something but it was like wayy before pop trolls knew anything about the other genres,, i dont really know much about them i do have a design for them but theyre not really finished…

(probably gonna remove the star thing from pop mom causee reasons later on in lore,,these are kinda really old so i dunnoooo)

they eventually had an egg but they were SUPER young like,, 18-19 so they didnt really think they were ready for a kid yet so uhhh

‼️🔥TROLL ORPHANAGE 🔥‼️

and then pop mom runs off with rock mom or something blah blah and caines left in the orphanage. he spends about three months in there but then gets adopted by TWO OTHER MOMS and oh wowee he has a lil sister now :]] !! her names ebby and shes soo silly and little.

and his new parents’ names are eva and atmos theyre losers ones an astronomy nerd and the other is an instrument nerd

(im taking this personality stuff from a chart thing my epic partner made while we were discussing lore go follow them noww theyre soooo cool

atmos is an introverted lil hermit who studies stars and astrology stuff ohh shes so cute <33 but also has anger issues unfortunately,, my partner used twilight sparkle as a comparison to her HEHA becauseee shes a lil nerrrd <333

eva is not as much as an introvert but still prefers not talking to people. shes quiet and doesnt like big crowded areas,, oh !! and she makes instruments !! which is kind of a reason shes not fully an introvert since she has to actually talk to people sometimes for her job 😭 very much a workaholic, but also just a chill troll to be around..

look at this awesome art !! wow !! my awesome swag partner made it !!! go follow them now !!!!

fast forwarding a lil to when caine is around 6 and his parents are debating whether or not to send their kids to public school,, because they prefer homeschooling BUT also they knew that mayybe their kids should be getting social interaction from other trolls..so they sent caine first as like a test drive for whether or not public school would be good before sending lil ebby😭

guhh i dont remember that much but once they see that caine doesnt hate it they decide ebby can go too,,

and everyone LOVES ebby shes so very nice and sweet and caines just also kinda there i guess HEHA but he doesnt really mind tbh

uhh poppy tries to be friends with caine obviously cause its poppy

MY MEMORY IS BECOMING FOGGY HERE I DONT REMEMBER EVERYTHING OKAY but uhhh creek doesnt really like caine for SOME reason i think it was because caine didnt really have any interest in being friends with him or something and hes like GUH,,BUT EVERYONE LIKES ME >:(( WHY DONT YOU WANNA BE FRIENDS WITH ME >:(((

so hes just kinda annoyed at him now 😭😭

this doesnt really have anything to do with the lore but !! look !! itty bitty caine !! isnt he a cutie patootie !!!

skipping to age 8 theres a lil TALENT SHOW WOOAH !!!!! this part is basically just to show caines interest in guitars and stuff (like fixing them ig)

poppy was gonna play ukulele for the talent show but !! oh no !!! her ukulele coincidentally breaks right before the show !!! i think !!! i dont remember okay + its 2:32 am

poppys all sad but then she runs to caine basically begging him to fix it for her pretty pretty please because hes literally the only one she knows who can fix this stuff

caine does because hes just suchh a lil sweetheart and all the other lil kiddies are like ooouuh :0 and in the process he ends up winning the talent show because !! wow he fixed it guys !! and it was also so nice of him wow !!!

but unfortunatelyyy creek didnt get to do his lil talent thingy so this begins the life-long one-sided feud with caine,, creek will be a petty little brat to caine for the next few years

tiny little things that happened through his life->

- kinda going back in time but when he was little atmos would take him to go stargaze and let him look through her telescope while she ranted about zodiacs or star signs or smthn,, she kinda stopped doing that though once ebby was old enough for atmos to take her with her instead :(((

- arounddd age 10 probably he actually learns how to PLAY guitar from his mom eva instead of just fixing them. shed also let caine watch her work on instruments as long as he had his lil safety welding helmet ^^

- age 16 wowee !! eva makes him his own guitar aww <33 hes sooo in love with it !! id show you but i havent drawn it !! but i swear its cool !! promise !!!

so hes 18 now and he moves out of troll village into the forest so he could “find himself” or some corny stuff idk man ITS 3 AM OH MY GOD

sometimes he visits pop village but rarely,, like maybeee 2-3 times a year ??

SIX WHOLE YEARS LATER he gets an invite from poppy at his door (which he often gets since poppy somehow found out where he lived and regularly sends a bug to deliver invites to him..) and hes lke “yk what its been a while ig i could go visit them” and so he makes his way back to pop village only OH MY GOD !! BERGEN ATTACK NOO !!! the ONE TIME he decides to visit them and he gets kidnapped by chef,, oh noes,,

some beautiful illustrations from my wife !! wowza !!! go follow them right now !!!!

but yea just trolls 1 with caine. basicallyyy…

after that whole thang poppys like “caine im soso sorry about all this <:[“ but caines like “dont apologize you literally didnt do anything ??”

ummm blah blah blah he becomes buddies with branch at some point after trolls 1

and thats all i have okay no creek caine yaoi yet causeee im not sure how itd work yet but..it will work…eventually…squints

sorry this was so shit to read 🙏

pairing: mingyu x female reader genre: kinda fluff but also kinda angst? they're just really bad communicators summary: people must ask each other a set of uncomfortable questions. they can either answer, or take a shot. word count: 2.3k warnings: mentions of unprotected sex, alcohol consumption series masterlist

mingyu: nervous?

you: hmm

you: maybe?

you: this feels kinda weird

mingyu: why?

you: i don’t know

you: i think we avoid these types of talks to be honest

you: and now we’re here to do it in front of a camera

mingyu: i just couldn’t say no to eunwoo okay?

mingyu: it’s for his internship

producer: oh, so you’re eunwoo’s friend?

mingyu: yeah

produce: nice!

producer: everyone loves him around here

mingyu: yeah, he's great

mingyu: can you make sure to get my good side?

producer:

mingyu: also, is the camera positioned correctly?

mingyu: i'm a visual arts major, so i know a thing or two about it

producer:

you: mingyu.

mingyu: what?

you: stop it.

mingyu: i was just asking a question!

producer: now that we all know your names, can you explain a little about your dynamic?

mingyu:

you:

mingyu:

you: uhhh

you: we’re—

mingyu: friends?

mingyu: with benefits.

you: i think that’s. uh. 

you: yeah, the best way to describe it

mingyu: right

you: friends with benefits

producer: right.

producer: and how long have you two been friends for?

you: with benefits?

mingyu: or do you mean regular friends?

producer: both?

you: we met early freshman year

you: and we’re juniors now

mingyu: but the benefits part started in august

you: yeah so it’s been about 3 months

producer: hmm okay

producer: did it start while you were drunk and horny?

mingyu: that’s funny

mingyu: close but no

you: high and horny

producer: second most common answer for college fuck buddies

producer: fair enough

producer: well! let’s get this party started then

producer:

you:

mingyu: so

mingyu: what are the terms of this relationship?

you: wow

you: uh. 

you: i don’t think we’ve ever. seriously talked about it?

mingyu: yeah i think we haven’t

you: why are you looking at us like that?

producer: everyone knows you need to talk about it

producer: like, before it even starts

you: 

mingyu:

you: i don’t think we’re very good at talking about it

producer: i can see that

mingyu: i mean

mingyu: of course that there are some basic things

you:

mingyu: like we still need to be friends

you:

mingyu: and we need to be comfortable at all times

you:

mingyu: and that everything is uncomplicated

you:

mingyu: and no expectations or pressure

producer:

mingyu: and. and!

mingyu: 

you:

producer:

mingyu: that’s kind of all i’ve got…

producer: maybe you can talk about it now?

mingyu: no

you: shots?

mingyu: hell yeah

producer: oh god

producer: we’re not gonna get anything from them, are we?

mingyu: are you calmer now?

you: not really, but it’s okay

mingyu: sure?

you: yeah

mingyu: okay

you: my turn

you: oof

you: i don’t think i wanna ask this

mingyu: oh c’mon

mingyu: it can’t be that bad

you:

you: fine.

mingyu: because i know you

you: 

you: you can be so full of yourself sometimes

you: do not wink at me

mingyu: 

you: why did you wink?

mingyu: because i know you like it

you: god.

mingyu: thank you

mingyu: anyway

mingyu: am i wrong?

you:

mingyu: did you sleep with someone else?

you: not since we started. you know.

mingyu: not using protection?

you: don’t say that out loud!

mingyu: aren’t we?

you: 

you: okay but!

you: we get tested every month

you: and! we don’t sleep with anyone else!

mingyu: nice

mingyu: and just so it’s clear, i haven’t either

you: good

you: i wouldn’t really like that

mingyu:

you:

mingyu:

you: i mean!

you: considering we are irresponsible and don’t use protection anymore! 

mingyu: right!

you: do we still have a lot of questions left?

producer: i think like, five?

you: oof. okay

mingyu: you can do this!

mingyu: i believe in you!

you: haha

you: okay

mingyu: what’s with the face?

you: i don’t wanna ask this one either

mingyu: oh my god 

mingyu: what now?

you: name my 3 worst traits

mingyu: that’s—

you: i just don’t wanna know

mingyu:

you:

mingyu: i can drink if you want 

mingyu: then i don’t have to answer, and you don’t have to know

you: you’d do that?

mingyu: yep

you:

you: okay then

mingyu: hehe.

mingyu: ohhhhh, this one is great

mingyu: i love this question

mingyu: am i not allowed to enjoy being praised?

you: i mean you are

you: you just physically can’t take it

mingyu: i don’t know what you mean

you: the moment i start answering this, your ears are gonna turn red

mingyu:

you: oh, you want me to—

mingyu: yeah…

you: yeah, i mean. i agree

you: i’d say if anyone gets uncomfortable or wants to call it quits?

mingyu: that!

producer: what about feelings?

mingyu: what about them?

producer: what if someone develops feelings here?

you:

mingyu:

producer: feelings would make it complicated, no?

you:

mingyu:

you: i mean.

mingyu:

you: and i don’t think falling in love is part of the deal anyway so

mingyu: oh

mingyu:

producer:

you: can i still take the shot?

producer: sure, why not

you: please don’t think i drink too much

mingyu: what does that even mean???

you: don’t worry about it

producer: what about you, mingyu?

you: please don’t

mingyu: what about me?

a/n: well hello???? i haven't written anything (especially something that's not soonyoung) in sooooooo long omg i barely know how to format a post anymore bc it all looks different omg. anyway!! hi!!!!! it's been ages i'm sorry. this belongs to that one fwb college jock mingyu universe that's been a wip for literally. 3 years. yes i checked today when i first created the google doc for that. and i've also been kind of away from seventeen for some time But since yesterday my carat skin has been activated and also my mingyuner skin so here i am. with this. i hope you'll like it!!!! this is absolutely unhinged in terms of posting bc this was not edited, was written in a Questionable state of mind and was not betaed. let's see if i'll regret in the morning. mwah mwah love you all!! and my askbox is always open hehehe

[happypot0001]

⚠️Characters belong to @sailingseals !!⚠️ 🚫THIS IS NOT SHIP ART🚫

HAHAAAAAAAA why did this take me so long to post?? YOU’LL NEVER KNOW HHAHAHAHAH BECAUSE I DONT EVEN KNOW!!! ndjjdjdj sorry for the HUGE HUGE DELAY I think I just didn’t post it sooner because I had no idea what I would say😭😭😭 Well ANYWAYS hope you enjoy it still even after a WHOLE MONTH HAHAAAA😆😆🫶

YAYYY lots of love to anyone reading!! 💕💕

I’m not even kidding this was sitting in my gallery for a WHOLE MONTH WHAT THE HECK WHY DIDNT I POST THIS?? I don’t have anything to say really because I think I’ve already explained how much ⛵️ inspires me already😭😭😭 THEYRE JUST SO COOL AND SO VERY TALENTED!!!? I have the opportunity to talk to them almost every single day and it’s been a real blast 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏 THEYVE INTRODUCED ME TO SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS AND ALL OF WHICH I ENJOYED!!! DJJDJD THEY REALLY ARE ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS I POST AND MAKE ART!!!! It still surprises me to this day that such a talented person could ever be friends with me 🙏😭😭😭😭 I’m so incredibly thankful you don’t even KNOW WAHHHH😭😭😭😭 every time I see their art I’m like “Wow, this is someone that I can call my friend!!” I just…IM JUST SO HAPPY WAHHHHHH ABSOLUTELY ENJOY TALKING TO YOU EVERYDAY ⛵️ IM GLAD THAT WE ARE FRIENDS I CANT SAY IT ENOUGH ENOUGH ENOUGHHH!!!!!!!!

HDHHDDH WAHHHHH okay then WAHH… not much I can say about the art itself…wasn’t very proud with how it turned out??? If anyone remembers, I did birthday art for Prince a little bit back and in that drawing I made him have ice cream instead of a birthday cake since his favorite food is ice cream…uhhh that’s kind of what inspired this piece hehe. The little drawings that I do in the corner are a NECESSITY but this time it’s a more happy doodle. The other two drawings I did were a bit more sad because the one for 📦 was her dropping her phone on her face😭😭😭😭 and the other one was the guy crying because he spilled coffee on himself 😭😭😭😢😭😭😢😭😢😢😭 and this one was actually going to be like prince dropping his ice cream or smth but I decided against that because I thought that was too tragic for Prince 😭🫶 so now he has all of the flavors YAYAYAYAY

WELP I’m glad that I can FINALLYY post this!!! I hope you enjoy this little Nora and Prince get together!!

Lots of love to ⛵️ and anyone else who may be reading!! 💕💕

It is another snowfall on a winter day in the city of Townsville. Joby and Josie, children of Johnny Test and dress in their winter clothings, came out of the house to spend the remaining winter break they have left before school start. The two kids are sitting on the bench waiting for the bus. The bus arrives, that the children get their stuffs.

“Last one to reach Fitz Maurice Hill is a rotten egg and buy hot cocoa!” Said Josie, carrying her wooden toboggan.

“Oh you are on!” Said Joby, carrying his plastic green sled, wearing a competitive smirk.

The bus took them to their respective destination, as the kids exit the bus, they then climb up to the hill by foot. Josie and Joby put down their sled and get on.

“Ready?” Joby asked.

“Ready!” Said Josie.

“GO!” They said in unison.

The two take off.

Meanwhile, the daughter of Brandon and Stella, Twinkly Astrid Bloom Solaria walking through the city, avoiding being follow. She is dress in a velvet winter buttoned up cardigan jacket, black knee high socks, black snow insulated pants, pink winter boots, and a white scarf wrapped around her neck. The one who is following her is a small, pink droplet shaped furry body, and has small bright white specks which resemble stars and have no visible limbs. The creature is looking at her with a gold-orange eyes and mouth trembling. Twinkly grumbles because all she wants was to be left alone. Honestly, why is that creature following her? Can’t she go back to Kai or back at Scaris/Paris with her family?

Twinkly is minding her own business, when she is not watching where she is going because all of a sudden she heard a loud voice, “Look out!”.

“Huh?”

Twinkly is crash into Joby, who’s failed to move to a different direction. They groaned in pain.

“Hahaha! I win!” Said Josie, reaching the finished line. She get off her toboggan and enjoy her victory by throwing her arms in the air. You are gonna buy me hot cocoa because you…. uhhh,”

Josie is looking at Joby, faced down and on top of Twinkly.

“Ouch. That is not how you falls in love,” said Josie.

Joby groans again, he got off of Twinkly and is now lying on the snow on his knees.

“Get off me hooligan!” Twinkly shouted. “I am already off of you. You are so impatient.” Complained Joby. He groan, as he slowly got off of Twinkly and is now lying on the snow, on his knees. As he get up from the snow, the two lock their eyes again.

“Great, not you again!” Said Joby.

“Me? I obviously don’t want to see you too!” said Twinkly.

“You two know each others?” Josie asked.

Joby points at Twinkly. “This is the crazy girl I told you about!”

Twinkly’s mouth stretches wide. Crazy?!

“For real? Wow,” said Josie.

“No, I am not crazy!” said Twinkly. “I am a fairy, whose is not at the Winx level yet. I can do magic.”

Joby rolls his eyes. Josie flick her hand and scoff. “Phew! Nah, I am tired of seeing enough magic in my life. I don’t need more,” Josie denied. “Come on Joby, we need to go to the hot cocoa stand, you are paying.”

Joby let out a sigh, admitting that he lost the race. “Fine, coming.”

Josie run for the hills to the hot cocoa stand. Joby wipe the snow off his black winter jacket with his gloved hands. He picks up his earmuffs to put them on, when he saw Twinkly acting weird. He shouldn’t ask, but he did anyway. “Why are you cautious for no reason?” Joby asked, regret his decision later.

Twinkly’s eyes start dancing back and forth. “Well… I… Um…,” Twinkly muttered. The creature start whining. “Can you please help me hide Lilly?” Said the bothered Twinkly.

Joby lifted an eyebrow, and stares at the creature calls Lilly. “That’s your weird dog.” Said Joby.

“No, that’s a staryummy. That creatures you saw in the news a couple of months ago.” Twinkly corrected Joby that Lilly is a staryummy, and not a dog.

Joby is even more confused, so he gives it a thought. He then remember something about an infestation and everyone has to avoid these creatures, not to attract them by giving them sweets or soft drinks, and let either the superheroes from The Roundtable or the pest control handle them.

“Oh, I forgot.” He said.

Twinkly let out a hmph. Joby let out a hmph too, because why is she asking him to help hide this creature in the first place? They don’t like each others, and if she don’t want this ‘staryummy’ creature around her, why not call the pest control? It must be her fault for attracting this staryummy somehow. Question is, how?

“HURRY UP!” Josie screamed.

“I AM COMING SIS!” Joby screamed back at Josie. Then he turned to face Twinkly one last time. “Just calls Camp Synonymous or Townsville’s pest control…. They know what to do than me, a civilian. See ya never again!”

He leaves to go to his little sister.

“Ugh!” Said Twinkly, she is experiencing the cold weather for the first time and wish to be back home in Solaria right now. Why did her parents decide to go visit Townsville again? She glares at Lilly and kick the poor staryummy. Lilly start screaming as she got kicked by Twinkly and landed in the snow.

nvm…this is PERFECT 😈

mommy issues!JK

why are you so good at hurting jungkook? maybe you’re better off keeping your thoughts to yourself because you always do more harm than good to your relationship; it’s always you. you don’t see nothing wrong with being engaged to jungkook. you love him, you really do but you also feel doubt. a lot of doubt.

after covering up the hickies as best you can, you leave the bathroom and head to the kitchen to wash the container you had your strawberries and cream cheese in. since you don’t have anything to do, maybe you’ll start applying for jobs or maybe you’ll go to the hair salon and get a haircut.

after jungkook finishes getting dressed, he presses a kiss to your temple and to your round belly before leaving you alone in the quiet apartment. “make sure you text me when—,” you say but jungkook shuts the door before you could finish your sentence. you let out a sigh, he’s definitely upset.

you throw some sandals on, grab your keys, and head out to run some errands. you go to the grocery store and load up on more snacks for both of your babies, head to a baby store to look for some baby clothes, go to the salon to get your hair cut into a short pixie, and—

*BUZZ*

from jungkook 🩵🥰✨

had to stop and grab gas. what you up to?

you okay?

to jungkook 🩵🥰✨

i’m okay. running some errands

are you okay? i miss you already 🥺

i’m sorry for being weird this morning. i love you so much ❤️

you get in your car and drive back to the apartment and when you arrive back home, you take a much needed rest on the couch (for 3 hours to be exact) until you hear loud knocking at the door and the sound of the doorbell. “give me a sec” you say as you stretch before getting up and opening the door to see eunwoo with an excited seol.

“hey y/—WOAHHHHHHHH!!!! are you preg—,”

“HEY SEOL!! why don’t you go put your stuff up while me and your uncle talk” you place a kiss on the 5-year olds head and wait for seol to be a little further before revealing that you haven’t told him about your pregnancy or anyone for that matter.

“ohhh okay okay but wow, look at you. how far along are you?”

“four months. i’ll be five next week. jungkook didn’t tell you that i was pregnant?”

“no! he didn’t tell me anything about it! you look great though. man, i can’t wait to tell alina. she’s gonna be so excited”

“no, you can’t tell anyone until jungkook gets back”

“where’s he—oh yeah, he’s in incheon. what’s the gen—,”

eunwoo is interrupted by a knocking at the door which surprises the both of you since you weren’t expecting any guests today. you open the door and you’re in shock to see a certain familiar person that you’ve yet to meet.

those eyes, that nose, those bunny teeth, is this…

“oh, hello! you must be the maid”

“maid?”

“have you seen my son? i wanted to talk to him about something”

introducing: jeon ji-yeon, aka, jungkook’s beloved mother.

~🫧

Eunwoos eyes widen in shock at the interaction between you and jungkooks mother. “Oh-Oh no Mrs Jeon this is yn!!!!” he shakes his head, getting nervous.

Why would she mistake you for a maid? This is so embarrassing and awkward. Someone just take him away.

“Uh yn this is jungkooks mother.” Eunwoo introduces you to his aunt, he’s so close to your fiancé that he calls his mother aunt “숙모!!! This is jungkooks girlfriend!” He explains.

“But she is not Nara?”

dude, this is so awkward, she’s here after so many years, he needs to tell jungkook.

as he is telling her about your relationship with her son, she can’t help but stare at your pregnant belly.

“Uhhh why is she pregnant?” She questions and eunwoo feels even more uncomfortable, his ears are getting redder,

“uhhh yn explain okay? I’m sorry I’m in a hurry. I have to go to incheon too. Take care OK, if Seol troubles you just call alina. Bye yn- Bye 숙모!” And with that he runs away from the awkward situation he had found himself in.

Just as he leaves, he takes his phone to message His best friend about the storm is going to come into his life soon.

Or rather has already arrived.

•••

Jungkook is looking over to some papers, busy signing them when he gets a few messages on his phone, he didn’t reply to your messages so maybe it’s you.

He can’t lie he’s a little mad at you because it’s hard for him to understand you and you don’t even know what you want, it is frustrating and degrading at this point.

But nonetheless, he picks up his phone, but he is surprised to see that the texts are from his best friend.

eunwoo 😎

dude your mother is here at your home and yn and her met and it was really awkward.. I think you need to come home.

ALSO BTW WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME THAT YOU’RE EXPECTING A NEW KID? I’M ABOUT TO BE AN UNCLE AGAIN WOW MAN YOU’RE FAST. 😉

And jungkooks face pales.

He needs to hurry back to Busan NOW.

See Strange New Worlds... And Be A Rescue Ranger

So there you are, on the base ship, minding your own business, and you get a an unknown broadcast. It's a loop of something nobody can understand, followed by a tone pattern.

Could be anything. Probe, surveyor satelite, signal beacon that's not compliant with local standards.

But then the assigned Human, who's there to pick stuff up and do Human related things, gets all twitchy, which is never a good sign.

"What if it's a distress call?" They say.

Well so what, what if it is? They should use the standard format. What if it's Thotari assassins? What if it's just a bit of space junk that's been drifting around for the last few Millenia?

But the Human's got all the telescopes - Visial, Radio, Wuth Effect and Gravitic pointed out that way. And now they're convinced there's something up.

And before you can sit down, convene committee and discuss this, CC the agenda to Dr. Kraant and log it all, the crazy human has undocked the cargo manipulator pod, re-named it the Carpathia for inexplicable reasons.

Worse, they overclock the engine. That little cargo hauler should reasonably take 15 Time Units, around 18 human hours to intercept, but at that speed they'll be there in 7.

Clearly Humans cannot be trusted with tech. The wear on the engines will cause the maintainance schedule to be brought forward by months!

You bring this to your supervisor, one of the annoyingly laid back Tsin.

They ask you what the human said and you play them the recording:

Human: Somewhere out there, someone's hurting. Carpathia out.

"Oh" says the manager, "That makes sense."

So you take it to their manager, that big Atrix, who surely is more sensible and she calls the human up:

Atrix: Did you really steal the cargo hauler.

Human: Yes.

Atrix: Because...?

Human: I think that's a distress call.

Atrix: And you overclocked the engines?

Human: Yes.

Atrix: How fast are you getting that thing moving?

Human: 212 vu per second.

Atrix: Huh I think that might be a record. Look, crank it down and run the Nitrogen tanks through the coolant manifold... About 23 pu will do it and you should be able to brake harder. Up to 1.2 gu

Human: Earth is 1.4 gu. I can go up to uhhh 4.

Atrix: ... I'm not sure that tug can take that! Wow! 4? Comfortably?!

Clearly they're all in on this crazy off-the books stuff.

At least it wasn't the Thotari. Some species nobody ever heard of with some weird take on point to point drive that blew enough hard radiation through the front of the ship when they braked out of superluminal space that it pretty much turned the hull to metal vapor, and now everyone has to learn about a whole new species who will argue that their way of doing things that aren't in the regulations is OK for them.

This is why you don't go running off to save people! Think of the PAPERWORK!

---

Author's note

When the Titanic finally sent up flares and radio'd for rescue, The Carpathia was the only ship that actually went to help.

The crew and passengers just went from 0 to Maximum Rescue instantly, and moved the entire ship to the site of the Titanic pretty much faster than technically was possible. They moved hundreds of thousands of tonnes of steel and wood, pretty much out of sheer spite because reality told them they couldn't do that.

@nezumivc103221 asked: What do you think helps Kamui grow the most as a person? What contributes to his character development the most? (Good or bad) Is he someone who learns from his mistakes? How does he deal with failure? Does he wish for love and affection for himself? Does he think he deserves good things?

( this got LONG so read more lol. )

( If we're talking when muses are interacting with him, then uhhh a lot of what makes Kamui develop and grow as a person is through the way someone treats him. Say.... someone decides to be selfless, they have patience with him despite how twisted he acts, and how rude he tends to be. If someone decides to repeatedly be nice despite that it's something that'll eventually have an effect on him. It's not something that's immediate though. Like the first time he meets someone and they're nice he'll just think 'Wow! This person is stupid lmao'

But if it's like repeatedly over the course of time, he's going to start having thoughts like '????Why are they constantly nice to me????' and it's going to be something he starts craving, he'll even start being less rude to them, albeit he's still going to be blunt and honest no matter what. However, he's not going to admit he's enjoying this person's influence on him. He'll keep telling himself it's all for his benefit. He's the type that you gotta really spell things out for him, since he thinks things like 'friendship' or 'romance' is stupid, pointless, yeah. So, I definitely think behavior towards him immensely impacts how he develops as a person with them and in general. :)) Since it'll also mean he's willing to listen to their opinions on things he might have a negative opinion towards. And sometimes it'll make his opinion on those things change. It really depends on his respect for the person, which is reallllyyy hard to earn without being persistent lol.

This goes the same for when he's in a relationship and the other person doesn't like something he did. He will take it into consideration.

Does he learn from his mistakes? It depends on the consequences of those mistakes.

Say, he gets hurt really badly from a fight that he's in a coma for maybe like a month. He's not gonna learn, he's gonna try to fight this person again and again.

But if... he says something REALLY out of pocket to a person he's become attached to and It hurts their feelings, and he ends up not seeing them for a while. That's something that'll end up really bothering him. He'll likely try doing stuff to hopefully get back on good terms with this person. Probably using food, or maybe flowers.

So yeah, he does learn from mistakes. It just depends on what happens because of his mistakes :D

Does he wish for love and affection for himself.... ah... well.... In general he sees those things as POINTLESS. his mindset is that those things only make someone weak, but whether he likes it or not he craves for it a lot. He misses being cared for with unconditional love, he wants that more than anything. It's just HARD to get him to accept and acknowledge all of that.

Unsure how to answer the question of if he believes he deserves good things. It's not like he's say... self deprecating. He's not. Despite his guilt over leaving his mother while she was dying, he doesn't think 'Yeah i deserve nothing good in life'.

I guess he's not AGAINST having good things, he can accept finding happiness in eventually opening up to people when it becomes possible. His guilt doesn't prevent him from taking all of that for himself. )

FOR whenever you reblog the “choose violence” ask game at the end of the month: Answer the questions in sequence order of MK’s grocery shopping trips in March

This was asked of me like literally a month ago but I kept scheduling the post for later and later. But here we go.

1. The character everyone gets wrong

(Spectacular Spider-Man #151, Conway & Buscema)

Well, this isn't hard - obviously my answer is going to be Flash Thompson. I don't know why it's apparently so difficult - he's not really that complicated of a character. Not compared to a lot of Marvel mainstays. But so many people either make him JUST a bully or JUST a hoo-rah America military man. And by that I mean both fans and canon writers. But Flash contains so many multitudes! He's worked in schools, he's a mentor, he's a coach, he's charisma incarnate, he has so many ways he can help people. And I love him.

3. screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr

Uhhh I'm not gonna do this with an image because I don't save these kinds of things lol. But I did once see a long post (and I mean lengthy) describing in detail - mind you, withOUT actually giving any canon evidence or issues or really anything to back up their argument - why Eddie Brock nor the Venom Symbiote should ever be shipped with anyone else, ADDITIONALLY stating that if you were to, say, add another person to that relationship, that you fundamentally are misunderstanding the whole point of """"symbrock"""" and, largely, Venom as a concept. Uh-huh. Okay.

Hilariously, after I saw that post, it stuck with me but it also spurned me into such a RAGE that I cranked out a massive new chapter of my fic in the space of about two weeks after being stuck for months. It worked, but boy I was so mad about that. I took that kinda personally. Insinuating that I didn't understand Venom. That I didn't understand Eddie Brock. Bull fucking shit.

Anyways,

4. what was the last straw that made you finally block that annoying person?

I don't remember specifically the last person I blocked that wasn't a bot, but I do know that I will block people in the Flash Thompson and Harry Osborn tags at the drop of a hat. ...oh wait! I do remember the last person I blocked. They had some octogoblin thing they were going on about but they had put it in the Harry tag. I didn't wanna see that. So. Blocked!

10. worst part of fanon

Wow, loaded question. Probably the racism. And the misogyny. Both of which are still rampant! It's something I, myself, am still trying to work on, so it's not like I'm excluded from my own frustration. But I think what's even worse is people who pretend like it's NOT a problem, that fandom is a magical problem-free space.

I'm also just now realizing that the question says fanon and not fandom but I think my statement still stands. To try and actually answer it though, uhhh I think the worst thing about fanon is when it literally becomes canon. Stop doing that, Big Two.

16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

I wanna talk about something here but I don't wanna scandalize too many of my followers. Actually you know what fuck it I'm gonna talk about it anyways. (mpreg mention below the cut)

I don't understand why so many people in the Venom fandom make fics where the host (Eddie, because nobody writes about anyone else) is the one going through the gestational cycle when there is a new spawn rather than the symbiote. It is literally so much funnier and also makes so much more sense to make the symbiote the pregnant one. "but kita it's can-" SHUT UP THE SYMBIOTE WAS THE PREGNANT ONE (it's called "choose violence" asks for a reason 💖)

24. topic that brings up the most rancid discourse

Uhhhh see above! Racism. Misogyny. Possibly lesbophobia. Mostly for the denial of it all. But I also find a lot of ship discourse nonsensical. If you don't like it, just block! Mute! Filter! It's literally that easy.

30 doesn't exist so I will. Idk. I will give you a panel from an issue labeled 30. Let's go with Venom #30 (Bunn, Silas) and this very funny moment of the symbiote flirting with Valkyrie. 😂

[fangirlstorycreator]

serious, I've been mad about you for as long as I can remember. That's why I wouldnt dance with any other girl tonight. Why do you think I kissed you the way I did?" "Uhhh...I dont know I just, I thought you were trying to make it look believable?" "I kissed you that way because I WANTED to kiss you that way, I have for months. I just never told you because I was waiting for the right time"

He was being serious! You couldn't belive your ears. "Wow Terry I...I never knew you felt that way" "Well I did...I do...the question is, do you?" There was no denying it "Yes Terry...I do" His boyish smile is back again, he's about to lean in for another kiss when John stumbles up to the bar with the young woman he was dancing with. "Hey Terry! This is Rosie, isn't she gorgeous?" Rosie smiles and waves to both of you, while holding onto John's arm. "Listen, listen. Rosie's invited me back to her place, so I'm gunna head home with her. Are you guys gunna get yourselves someone tonight? Get a little lucky too?" John is clearly a little drunk, but his question is still interesting, you and Terry look at eachother and he smirks. "Yeh I think uhh...tha let could be a possibility" "Awsome Terry! I'll see you guys tomorow" That's when John and Rosie leave the club hand in hand, sneaking little kisses as they head outside. Terry turns back to you and you raise and eyebrow and smile. "A possibility huh? Do you think maybe you could change the word 'possible' to 'definitely'?" After that kiss, you knew that if he was that good a kisser, he would be incredible in the bedroom. His hand reaches up to your face, he holds your chin as his thumb strokes over your bottom lip. ".....Absolutely....let's finish these drinks and head back to my place. I'm gunna show you the time of your life" "Have you been imagining how you would take me Terry?" "In sooo many ways, and I'm going to take my time, in every position..."

[stupidcanofpeaches]

okay. okay okay. so i just finished s1 of shadow and bone and started s2 (tho so far im only one episode in). and what can i say except im really into it? and also i now have a lot of feelings. 

first of all i appreciate alina and mal being young and also naturally a bit naive but also not stupid? when they accused each other of not sending or reading the letters and then just, you know, talked and hugged it out instead of drawing out the drama? really neat. i love it. love seeing some healthy understanding. babies. and can i just say how graciously mal accepted the fact that alina was very obviously isolated and manipulated and didn’t blame her for it one bit? yeah. that hit me in the feels when i did not expect it bc frankly i mostly started watching it after seeing some unhinged kaz gifs. 

and, uhhh. kaz. ouch and also wow. he’s now my son who has 72 mental illnesses and is banned from most public spaces. my man has committed murder fraud burglary and probably arson and looks like he hasn’t had a minute of good sleep in about at least seven years give or take a few months. he’s a badass he’s canonically disabled he’s a criminal he’s a poor little meow meow he’s a bastard he’s a traumatized kid in a neat little hat. love him. he needs all the hugs and can’t get one. 

and can i just say that inej is so goddamn pretty? bc she is. knife wife. not to take away from her character and her own trauma. she’s badass before everything else. her killing the inferni that was about to fry kaz? breathtaking beautiful amazing. and yeah i can’t shut up about kaz but showing on screen that the cane is not just for show and cool points but a legitimate walking aid for him that he experiences chronic pain without is so. good. chef’s kiss. the way their relationship progresses hnnnngg. i believe in you. i’m not leaving you. good god. please let them just hold hands. 

also. nina and matthias broke my heart. crying screaming throwing up. why couldn’t they get a happy ending. it was either court marshal for matthias or for nina and hell they looked so fucking happy and content eating waffles that for a moment i forgot their countries were actively at war. why. i choose to believe that in my head they’re together and free. nina’s banter with matthias was super sweet and you can see the moment it changes from hostile and acerbic to genuinely playful and this is tearing my heart out all over again. 

also genya totally deserved better.

“Lycanism

A disease that is becoming more widespread as the months go by all we currently know about it is that it effects mammals exclusively mostly those found in the order Carnivora but is also extremely potent to humans causing a frightening metamorphosis into a beast adequately known as lycans which are more mysterious then lycanism itself but the goverment has two branches that can help us out the exterminators that protect us and the researchers who study lycanism now raise your hand if you want to be an exterminator”

We see class full of raised hands except one student

“Sebastian why aren’t you raising your hand”

“We barely know anything about lycanism I say we need more researchers”

“What do we need to understand lycans are bad there numbers should be decreased”

“Problems aren’t meant to be solved by violence”

“This one is”

“That is enough class is over Sebastian please stay a bit”

“Uh what did I do wrong”

“Nothing it’s just your right this world needs more people like you so never lose that will to learn okay”

“I won’t I promise”

00:07:08

“Geez you are a weirdo do your parents know you want to be a researcher”

“Yes there proud of it there both researchers do your parents know you have a death wish”

“My parents do care if I’m exterminator or researcher uh let’s talk about something else wanna go eat”

“No no thank you I only like 10 bucks on me”

“Don’t your parents give you 90 for a day”

“Yeah but I I got more important things to spend my money on”

“Really like what”

“It’s a secret”

“Oh come on I’m your best friend”

“Hence why I won’t tell you you can’t keep a secret even if your life depended on it”

“Cmon if it’s this important I can keep it”

“Even if it changes the trajectory of your life and current beliefs”

“Wow it is serious I’ll do my best to keep it”

“Okay my place backyard about an hour”

00:07:07

“Welp I’m here what is the big 80 dollar secret of the rich smart kid”

“Frank jay smithson do you promise to take this secret to your grave”

“Oh this is really serious well Sebastian I don’t know your middle name connory I promise to keep this secret into the after life I wouldn’t even tell god”

Sebastian looks around and opens the door to a shed frank could see movement of something his brain couldn’t quite identify then Sebastian flipped a switch turning a light on and frank saw it a dog in a child’s dress trying its best to walk on two legs

“”

“I knew I’d regret this please stay calm I can explain this”

“How how can you explain that this doesn’t make any sense oh am am I awake”

“Uh where where to begin I I was walking Sera through the woods when small lycan bit her I kicked it and brought Sera home but my parents told me they they told to kill her but I I couldn’t I just couldn’t”

“Why why couldn’t you”

“I raised her since she was a puppy I I couldn’t so I hid her in the shed and kept taking care of her but then I noticed her changes”

“So you thought this would be a great start at being a researcher”

“No but as she changed I noticed that there were more then physical changes”

“Like what”

“Sera this is frank do do you remember him”

“Yes he’s nice like you”

“”

“So I guess your gonna tell someone get me in trouble and who knows what will happen to Sera”

“”

“Well I I guess it’s over”

“Uhhh no I’m not gonna tell anyone it’s just hard to wrap my head around it but I trust you you’ve been my best friend forever I’ll stand by you”

00:05:11

“So anything new with Sera”

“She’s been talking better and picking up words quicker and “

“And”

“She she has thumbs now it it doesn’t make sense bones muscles tendons it’s it’s all so strange”

“Welp I don’t get it but even though things are crazy things are starting to seem less crazy in the world it’s it’s nice”

00:05:05

“Where have you been”

“Out”

“That isn’t a good answer”

“I’m going to room”

00:04:22

“I don’t trust him”

“It’s his life he can do what he wants with it”

“No he’s up to something and it probably isn’t good so I got cameras and I hid one in his uniform”

“You better be right about this”

00:00:01

“This has been a strange week but since lycanism started I think this has been my best week”

“Hmm hopefully things can go back to normal”

“Can they wait is that a”

“That’s the little freak whose been hiding a lycan”

“Dad what are you”

“You told him”

“No I didn’t I don’t know how he found out”

“Sir calm down kid I’m going to need you to step away from the lycan”

“What’s going on what are you doing”

“We have been told that your son has been harboring a lycan so we came to take”

“Sera sera it’s okay calm down ah”

00:00:00

“Sir your going to want to hear this”

“What is it”

“There’s reports of lycans attacking people in large numbers”

“All of you evacuate to the nearest shelter”

Everyone else leaves leaving frank and Sebastian alone

“Hey are you okay we gotta go”

“I I can’t”

“Come on I’m sure we can convince them to let sera in”

“It’s not that it’s”

Sebastian raises his arm showing a spot where Sera accidentally bit him

“If I go there with a lycan bite they’ll kill me so I can’t go with you”

“When this blows over even if it does I’ll find you”

“Why”

“Your my best friend my only friend so I’ll find you even if you turn into some giant freaky lycan I’ll find you”

-60:07:08

“Brief me on this mission sir”

“On this supply route about half the supplies goes missing so we suspect there might be bandits involved”

“Huh is that”

“What”

“Oh it’s just that I believe that’s the school I used to go to”

“WELL I need you to survey the are to see where the bandits are hiding so you might have some time for nostalgia go”

-60:07:07

“Huh it’s been forever since I’ve been here to think things were normal at one point where did the time go hmmm it’s been five years and I haven’t found him should I give up no he wouldn’t so time to get back on track”

Then suddenly something hits frank in the head

“Wha what was that uh”

Something else suddenly hit his head

[aprillikesthings]

So I actually have a (...very overdue) physical/pap smear in a week

And now I'm wondering if I need to go through the hassle of getting properly diagnosed with depression or whatever to get back on wellbutrin or if I can just like, ask

Like "hey can we just do informed consent model on this. In my 20's and 30's I took wellbutrin off and on for years, I know what it can and can't help me with, I know what side effects I get and how to handle them. My ADHD/executive function sucks assssss and I can't bump up my adderall dosage because it only increases my side effects*, and we're about to go into Dark Season and I swear to god every January I self-isolate so bad it's scary and ALSO I'm like 99% sure I'm going into perimenopause and it's making my brain worse. so uhhhhh can you just.....write me an Rx for wellbutrin 150mg extended release or what"

I mean I could lie and say I started smoking again and need the wellbutrin to quit, maybe? hm

(I actually did not know wellbutrin was used for that for ages, but tbh it only has that effect on me at 300mg, and at that dosage I am lying in bed with nausea like multiple days a week for the first couple of months and uhhh no thanks) (that was worth it the year I was nearly suicidal don't get me wrong--as I said to a friend "yeah I'm still in bed all day but at least it's not because I kinda want to die, so it's still an improvement lol")

"have you tried SSRI's" only lexapro. but that, family history, and the time I tried strattera have informed me that if a SSRI/SNRI has the side effect of "killing your libido," then that medication will, in fact, entirely kill off my libido. and quite frankly I would only take a medication with that side effect if my choice was that or like, actual death. I greatly enjoy my libido and orgasms are a consistent source of stress relief and dopamine for me and I am not giving them up if I can avoid it thank you

OH ALSO AHAHAH can't wait to mention "hey I had my first ocular/visual migraine two weeks ago"

So there I was at work this last week, and I got back from break and was like, why does it look like I looked at something too bright but only in that part of my eyes. Huh that's not going away. WOW THAT LOOKS WEIRD AS FUCK. WAIT.

WHAT IS THAT

AM I HAVING A STROKE????

Nope! Scintillating scotoma (which is also the name of my new band! /jk)

Tl;dr: it's possible to have the "aura" part of a migraine without having ....literally any other symptom of a migraine, especially as you get into perimenopause. Happens to like, 1.3% of the population.

The wikipedia page I linked above is great and has several animations/images. But imagine seeing this:

in your field of vision but like, WIGGLING LIKE CRAZY, and it gets bigger and bigger until it disappears, and all within like, half an hour.

I am very glad that googling got me to the right answer really fast, and I'm also glad that every website about it is like "hey if it's visible in both eyes and you're not having other migraine symptoms and it's gone within an hour, this is not a big deal and you'll be fine."

Once I wasn't worried about it and it wasn't in a spot that made it hard to read, it was actually kind of cool???

(and then I wonder why I'm fascinated by hallucinogens, lol.)

But yeah I posted about it to facebook and that's when I found out that multiple of my friends also have these. One said she gets it once a year.

My mom had disabling migraines of the kind that made her cry from the pain, so if all I've inherited of them is "you get to see weird shit in your vision once a year," I'll take it.

Also I know my doctor is gonna tell me it's time for my first mammogram and oh lordy I do not want to. Having firm tits is great up until someone has to fucking squeeze them between flat plates of glass. >:( I just know they're gonna be like "huh your tits are too dense and we can't see shit" cool cool breast cancer doesn't run in my family but endometrial cancer does can we worry about that instead, fuck

(*okay but for real. I do not have bipolar and I have never done cocaine. but lemme tell you. I know what "pressured speech" feels like, because that's what happens when I try a higher dose of adderall and/or take mine twice by accident. and I do not like it. I already have enough trouble shutting up (lol just look at this post) omg.)

ugghhhhh

"gee, I don't know why I'm so tired. I don't know why I'm struggling with basic tasks that I'm usually fine with. I don't know why my body is constantly exhibiting signs of a lot of stress. I don't know why I either can't sleep or sleep too much. I don't know why I'm not enjoying things I usually enjoy. I don't know why it feels like my ADHD meds aren't working. I don't know why--"

oh ffs

I literally looked at that list and thought "how could I be depressed, my life is fine???" as if I don't know that that's not how it fucking works

then again it could be perimenopause?????

either way I should. probably ask to be on wellbutrin again or something.

UGGGHHHHHH

Give us the spicy Ben takes. You know you want to. Like putting too much Sriracha on your eggs, you want to tempt this fandom. Tell me, Roo

You are either the worst influence, or the best. You are both. Both of those things. 

Well shit, okay, it’s Spicy Ben Takes time!

So you know that thing in fandom where Ben gets credited as Klaus’ babysitter, the voice of reason that has managed to keep Klaus alive all these years? The viewpoint that Klaus is going to fall apart post-s2 without Ben there to help take care of him? I’m here to say that canon suggests the opposite is true.

Having someone watching you limits your freedom to make your own choices — or to put it another way, having someone watching you is an extra factor to weigh during the decision-making process. Unfortunately, people are complicated and messy and the Hargreeves are especially so, and so that extra factor is not always going to weigh in favor of making better choices.

And Ben and Klaus are siblings. 

There might be nothing more powerful than sibling-induced stubbornness. There was some musical artist that my older sister liked that I said was bad, and then when I realized they were good actually, I kept pretending to hate them until some time after we’d both graduated high school. In turn, because I listened mostly to movie scores, my little brother declared that any music without lyrics was bad and all sounded the same. He had to listen to Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6 and the opening track to The Dark Knight and tell us that they sounded so alike that he couldn’t tell them apart. 

He HAD TO do this. I don’t have a name as good as the Cain Instinct to describe it, but I submit that the inability to admit fault in front of a sibling runs as deep, if not deeper. It’s something to do with pride, probably, and more importantly the second part of this phrase: you can’t admit that you’re wrong or you’ll never hear the end of it. You aren’t going to fall out of touch when you graduate or whatever, this person will be around for the rest of your life reminding you of this fuckup whenever it benefits them, for forever.

(okay a read more because this is looooong sorrrrryyy)

So, to take a common fandom scenario, if Ben says Klaus should go to rehab and get clean? Klaus can’t just do that, especially if Ben has said it before and Klaus established that his side of issue was that he didn’t want to. If Klaus decides he does want to go to rehab after Ben has been on his case about it, then Ben can claim for the rest of forever that he’s the reason that Klaus is sober now, and that would be super fucking annoying when dealing with addiction is such deeply personal work. It’s a lose scenario however you slice it (which is very typical for sibling stupidity — it’s a fight that you lose as soon you decide it’s worth fighting over).

Now okay, let’s back up and be clear here. Klaus falling prey to sibling-induced stubbornness isn’t Ben’s fault. I’m not suggesting that Ben is actively standing in Klaus’ way, or that Klaus would have made the choice on his own to go to rehab had Ben not suggested it first. I’m saying that Ben’s presence simply makes it a harder thing to do, a larger mountain for Klaus to climb, on a journey that is already intimidating enough on its own.

And Ben is always there. There’s no space for Klaus to go off on his own and cool down and admit to himself that he is being stupid. Irritation can only build and build for years with no relief — irritation on both sides. 

So, yeah. Very unintentionally, Ben advocating for Klaus’ sobriety may in fact be a hinderance to that sobriety being achieved in actuality. Klaus might have more motivation to make good choices and less inclination to make bad choices when he doesn’t have a brother constantly watching over his shoulder.

But don’t just take my word for it! There are a few spots in canon that bear this interpretation out. I first got this in my head when I compared the ending of s1 and s2 — instead of leaving Vanya alone, Klaus comes out to join her in s2, which prompts the others to come as well and seems to turn out better than s1. No moons are exploded in the making of s2. Of course Ben is not the only difference in the situation, and of course we don’t know if Klaus would have made a similar choice if Ben was there advocating for it. What we do know for sure is that Klaus is capable of making good choices on his own.

We also see a couple of times that following Ben’s advice is not always a great choice. In s2, telling the cult the truth doesn’t do anything useful, and going after Luther in 1x07 gets Klaus killed. It seems like the time that Klaus was living his most well-adjusted healthiest life was when he was in Vietnam, without Ben. 

This is all to say that no, Klaus does not need Ben to be able to take care of himself. There’s more reasons to believe that Klaus will fare better without Ben’s constant presence. Surely there are aspects of his life that will be sadder, and emptier, without the brother that was such a fixture of his life for so long. But there will absolutely be parts of his life that are better, too. That’s one of those things that makes loss and grief so painful and guilty, isn’t it?

So actually maybe this is all to say, I would really love to see some more fandom takes that explore this complicated, flawed dynamic, and less of the one-dimensional ‘Babysitter Ben’ trope. Ben Is a Nuanced Individual With Flaws and Whose Actions Sometimes Cause Unintended and Unfortunate Consequences, and All of This Makes Him More Interesting and None of it Makes Him Evil 2k21!! (is that still a thing people do?)

Headcanon: Harry’s partner having ADHD

Masterlist | feel free to send asks!

Author’s Note: This is HEAVILY influenced by my day-to-day life and might be very niche, so I apologize if this isn’t relatable. I’m just posting what I would like to see if I’m scrolling through tags. ALSO I feel like this is less of a headcanon and more of me just writing out conversations I’ve had 🫡 Pronouns Used: they/them, use of y/n Warnings: swearing, mention of prescription meds Additional Information: Harry is in italics. Reader is in bold.

divider is made by @firefly-graphics

“I want to finish this drink before…” *couple seconds pass* “Why are you staring at me?” “You want to finish that drink before…?” “Oh! I thought I said it out loud. Before we go shopping.”

*Harry and his partner are in bed trying to sleep* “Will you quit moving?” “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It’s just that the fabric of this shirt is really bothering me and I can’t find a comfortable position.”

I feel like he’d recognize that his s/o gravitates towards a very specific brand because the fabric doesn’t give them sensory overload. He’ll probably buy a couple shirts to keep at his place for them if they need a change of clothes while over.

“Hey! Ready to go?” “Uhhh what?” “We’re getting lunch with Mitch and Sarah, remember?” “Oh fuck.” “You forgot didn’t you?” “Give me like 10 minutes. Love youuuu” “Yeah, yeah. Just hurry up.”

His s/o and him are in the living room, and he’s telling a story but realizes they’ve stopped paying attention. “Hey, babe, beb, bb, y/n… I drank the rest of the apple juice.” “You what?” “Wow, did you not hear anything I said?” “Yeah, you said you drank the rest of the apple juice. I said I wanted it.” “I was telling you a story but you only paid attention once I said the juice is all gone.” “Oh, sorry. Start again, I’ll make sure I listen this time… is the juice really all gone though?”

“Can you grab my fidget toy?” “Yeah, where is it?” “It’s in our room under my your blue sweatshirt that’s on the chair in the back left corner.” “… you amaze me sometimes.”

“Mmm I don’t feel too good.” “Why? What’s wrong? What happened?” “My head hurts and I feel a little dizzy. Kinda nauseous too.” “Did you take your meds?” “Yeah, why?” “How much water have you had since then?” “...” “Thought so, let’s go get you hydrated.”

“Okay, so I’ll be gone from the 15th to the 27th of this month. I know it’s not ideal but I’ll be back before we know it and then we can—” “Did you know that sharks have electroreceptor organs? It allows them to sense electromagnetic fields and temperature shifts in the water. Isn’t that cool?” “Love, it’s awesome that you know cool facts, but this is actually important. I need you to work with me here, okay?”

Harry only knowing viral video sounds because his s/o can’t stop saying them at random times. “Wow, crazy, you crazy girl.” “She’s a runner, she's a track star.” “Is it me? Am I the drama?” “Let me see what you have. A KNIFE! No!”

Keigo's never been able to properly indulge his instincts, though you're more than willing to help him change that.

warnings: avian, feral keigo. rut/heat cycles. nesting. wing kink. breeding. horny shit, i tell u what

beta’ed: @keiqos​ 

--------

wow :’^) this is a collab with the wuv, @keiqos​!! we each worked on a fic that was our own take of keigo during his rut, and now y’all get the fun results. here is hers!!! enjoy this feast!!!

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Keigo had been acting particularly weird for the past few weeks. 

He was hardly a skittish person, yet he had been avoidant and downright shy in the last month or so. Despite living together, you had hardly seen or heard from him, and when you tried to address his absence, Keigo continually brushed you off.

He was hardly meeting your eyes when you managed to be in the apartment at the same time.

Finally, one night, he came in late. You sat, waiting on the couch, very awake circa three in the morning.

His eyes went wide, knowing he was caught.

“I know it’s late, but can we talk?” You asked softly, patting the couch next to you.

Keigo nodded stiffly, wings folded timidly against his back as he sat. In his big, tough hero uniform, he looked so odd with his hands held so nervously. 

“What’s going on, love?” You spoke quietly, lowering the volume of the TV to a hum. “Talk to me.”

Keigo silently picked at the threading of his gloves, then pulled off his visor. He stayed silent, eyes wide and far off.

You sighed, bringing your knees up under your body to face him. You tried to sound strong, but there was a twinge of weakness in your voice, “Are you... seeing other people?”

That notion brought Keigo right back, head snapping up to meet your own before gripping the sides of your face (harder than you would’ve expected) and rapidly shaking his head.

“No, no, no, not at all,” Keigo scooted closer to you as he spoke. “I promise, not that.”

“Then what?” You were frowning, despite Keigo’s contact feeling aloe on a burn.

Once again, Keigo seemed to stumble. His eyes averted, going glassy.

“It’s embarrassing,” His hands slip from your face, back into his lap. “Very embarrassing.”

You raised an eyebrow.

Keigo Takami was many things. But, shy and passive were not in that repertoire. 

You deadpanned.

“Please, just tell me,” You huffed at him, crossing your arms. “You’ve been avoiding me for weeks, Kei’. Feels weird.”

“I know, it’s just— fuck.” His gloved hands dragged down his face, flushing a bright red. 

You figured he was a bit warm.

Carefully, you reached forward, going to pull them from his hands. He stiffened harshly, watching you with... slitted eyes— (had they always been like that?). You gingerly freed Keigo’s fingers and palms, intertwining your own. 

“You can tell me, Keigo,” You smiled at him, squeezing and feeling pricks of pain in the flesh of your own hands. 

You noticed then, that Keigo’s fingernails were longer, pointed even. Though, they didn’t look manicured. They seemed to grow darker at the cuticle.

Your eyes widened as you looked up at Keigo as he turned his head away, half hiding his face in the fluffy collar of his jacket. 

“You know how I go on a ‘business trip’ about this time every year?” Keigo asked, rubbing a clawed thumb over the back of your hands. 

You nodded, “You go on lots of business trips, Kei’. What’s different about this spring one?” 

Keigo shifted his legs, wings twitching at his back. His entire form emanated his uncomfortable energy. From the tension rolling off his shoulders to the way he clenched and unclenched his jaw, Keigo was visibly very anxious. 

“Okay, uh, how do I explain this—” Keigo dropped his head, then looked back up at you, blinking slitted pupils at you. “You know how I’ve got wings?”

“Duh, dummy,” You rolled your eyes, reaching out to brush some fingers over one of the large, external feathers. 

Oh, but you got a reaction you weren’t expecting. You hadn’t thought anything of your action, yet Keigo audibly moaned with the contact. Something loud, high, and sinful as his thighs clenched together.

Both of your eyes went wide. 

“So,” You began slowly, “You have wings.”

“I have wings,” Keigo’s voice sounded tense and held in his throat, shaking just a bit. “And, I have some other avian traits as well.”

“Like...?” You coaxed. Whatever it was must’ve really made Keigo uncomfortable if he was being this resistant to talking about it. This man was the number two hero, yet he was mincing about like a kitten. 

“Uhhh... They’re more behavioral. Some physical,” Keigo bit his lip, shaking his head. “What do birds do in the spring?”

“Is this a riddle?”

“No, straightforward question.”

You really thought he was pulling your leg, but based on Keigo’s words and grave expression, he was dead serious.

And you had a dead serious answer.

“Oh my god, Keigo, you migrate?!” Your mouth fell open. Keigo’s eyes went wide and he seemed to stifle a laugh before shaking his head, feathers ruffling. 

“No, oh my God, no,” Keigo carried some mirth in his gaze now. “Not at all.”

You rolled your eyes, laughing with him. The tension seemed to be somewhat out of his shoulders until you set a hand on his knee and squeezed. 

“Keigo, out with it,” You rolled your eyes. “I know it’s scary, but I promise, no matter what it is, I’m here for you okay?”

You let your eyes soften as you sighed, squeezing his hands. 

Keigo looked you dead in the face, “We fuck, (Y/N).”

You choked on your own spit, before leaning back with a small laugh, “I know it’s been a minute with your schedule, but we do indeed do that outside of spring.”

“No, no, not like that,” Keigo ran his hands down his face, shaking his head. “I’ve been avoiding you because this whole conversation is going to be weird and embarrassing. You up for it? Because it only gets weirder.”

“Lay it on me, tailfeathers,” You rubbed your thumb over his knuckles. 

Keigo took a hand to sheepishly rub the back of his neck, “One of my more... avian traits is this... I don’t know, the Commission called it a ‘rut’, but I’ve done my own research and I’m not sure if that fully encompasses all of what it is.”

You weren’t entirely unfamiliar with the concept, but you certainly weren’t an expert.

“What happens during it?” 

“Uh, to be frank, exactly what happens during a bird’s mating season, and then some.” Keigo’s long nails dug into the fabric of his cargo pants. “My feathers grow in a bit differently. I nest. I get weird and territorial, possessive. I cannot tell you how much I’ve wanted to leave your neck covered in bite marks, just fucking claiming you—”

You both swallowed.

“And... You’re insatiably horny on top of all of this?” You asked, trying to ignore the way your insides were heating up.

Keigo nodded, waiting for you to reply with a softened, gooey gaze.

Oh, this was a little weird, right? Keigo was avian in some ways, but you never thought he had a whole ass mating season-

“Wait, so, in the spring, the ‘business trips’,” You used air quotes with a frown. “You’ve been just disappearing for your ‘rut’ and then coming back? Alone?”

Keigo waved his hands between the two of you, feathers fluffing up defensively behind him, “No, n-no, not like that. Never once. I’d just hole up in my apartment and fuck my hand like it was God.”

You choked. 

It made sense, you and Keigo moved in together at the end of last spring. Looking back, the timing now seemed to be intentional. 

“When did it start?” You asked, getting semi-intrigued by Keigo’s odd biology. 

“I was sixteen, I think,” Keigo did the mental math and bit his lip. “The Commission didn’t really know what to do with me, so they would just lock me up in my room with two extra blankets and call it good.”

You choked again. 

“So, you just disappear, deal with it, then come back?” You frown. “Keigo, I would’ve helped if I would’ve known.”

“I don’t know, (Y/N), it’s a lot to ask,” Keigo’s nails bit into his wrists as he squeezed. “I’m basically a horny, possessive, feral birdman for two weeks, not too mention the time leading up to it. That’s why I’ve been all distance. I’m sorry, I should’ve at least told you.”

“I would have appreciated it if you had, but I understand,” You grabbed Keigo’s hand again and squeezed. “This doesn’t exactly sound like a thing you’ve really ever been able to deal with comfortably, huh?”

“N-not really,” Keigo got all sheepish again, scooting a bit closer to you. “I haven’t really known what to do about it this year, so I’ve just been putting off facing you. I was just gonna get a hotel room or something, run off for two weeks, and then come back.” 

“Another ‘business trip’?” You raised an eyebrow as Keigo looked down, all sheepish and blushy. You tutted, shaking your head. “Well, babe, not this time. I’ve got you. I’m your live-in partner and I will not let my sweet, bird boy handle horny hours alone. I haven’t made you before, right?”

That made Keigo laugh, softly, some of the stress being held still in his wings falling away.

“I appreciate that, angel, but I don’t want you to agree to do this until you fully understand it,” He beamed you a smile. God, the man was like sunshine and candy when he chose to be. 

You nodded, giving him a(n) (over)confident smile, “Lay it on me, babe.”

Keigo had amassed quite a detailed understanding of his biological clock over the years, and he was able to spit it all back onto you.

“It’s basically two weeks of time where my only thoughts are ‘nest’, ’fuck’,’protect’, ’breed’—” Keigo cut himself off when your eyes went wide. 

“Wait, like, have children?” You asked, gut feeling unsettled. 

You and Keigo had been dating for a while, but the topic of children had never been seriously brought up. 

Does helping him mean to commit to having kids?

“No, not exactly. Like, I’m trying to protect a mate and breed, but that doesn’t mean the outcome needs to be children. At all,” Keigo assured you, patting your knee. “I know, it’s weird. I definitely am not into getting you pregnant, but that instinct part of my brain is.”

“Well, I’m on birth control, so we should be good there, right?” You laughed, relieved, squeezing his hand. “What do you mean by nesting?”

 “A literal nest. A spot that just smells like me and you to keep—” Keigo clicked his tongue, sighing in what seemed like relaxation, “you safe. And mine. It usually ends up being just like... my entire apartment, lots of shredded pillows, feathers, blankets. It’s honestly a nightmare.”

A nightmare, yes, but a very necessary one.

So, a plan was made. 

 |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

 Keigo sent you off to a hotel for the days leading up to his rut. He had to prepare, get things ready and he wanted to be careful not to trigger it earlier and risk ruining what would more than likely be his first proper rut. 

You took his lead, pampering yourself for a few days and letting Keigo handle the details. 

(Considering how wrecked your body was going to be in the coming weeks, it was more than smart to give yourself some time to rest.)

When Keigo called you to tell you he was ready, he was sounded elated, wings audibly flapping into the receiver. 

When you arrived back at the apartment, the ride up the glass elevator was daunting.

You were perfectly happy to help with Keigo’s rut, but you were a bit nervous about what he was going to be like. Though he reminded you that one of his hormonal brain’s functions was to ‘keep you safe’, it also sounded like he was going to be a bit out of his mind. You trusted him with your life, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t nerve-wracking. 

The elevator dinged, sliding open to the top floor. 

Keigo stood just outside. 

You couldn’t help jumping back in surprise, taking in Keigo’s... state.

He looked positively feral, just on sight. Though had been warned of this, you hadn’t fully expected how visible his state would be.

Keigo apparently decided to forgo any sort of a top today as his chest was entirely bare to you. A pair of grey sweats was slung low on his hips, likely put on in a rush based on the uneven settling of the waistband. This was not even to mention the very obvious imprint of his dick against the fabric, hard just from seeing you. He was covered in a fine sheen of sweat, skin pink with rushing blood.

“Angel,” Keigo purred, yanking you from the elevator and crushing you into his chest, smothering you with kisses. Stray feathers flew to pick up your bags, carting them off to your nearby apartment. 

Speaking of wings—

In the few days it had been since you’d seen Keigo, his feathers had almost entirely changed. They were still their usual bright crimson, but the filaments of the plumage seemed to be almost... shiny? You couldn’t quite place it, but there had been some sort of change in their anatomy that made his wings appear iridescent when they moved. The patterns almost seemed to swirl and streak through the plumage. You wanted nothing more than to admire them.

Without thinking (or responding to Keigo, mistake), you reached out to grab one of the feathers, “Oh wow, Keigo, they’re so pretty.”

The moment you wrapped your hand fully around the plume, Keigo clawed his... talons (?!) into your shoulders, shuddered, and screamed.

You hissed as pain radiated from your shoulders, but managed to hold both you and Keigo upright as he twitched against you.

“Fuck,” He cursed against your neck, panting.

You felt a vague, wet spot on your leg.

You blanched.

“Did... you just cum? From me touching your wings?” 

Keigo nodded against, still shaking.

“S-sorry...”

The shame in his tone made your frown, pulling away from him to press a harsh kiss against his half-parted lips.

“Nope,” You murmured against his lips. “Nu-uh, you have nothing to be sorry about. I’m here to help, dummy.”

He sighed in relief, pressing into you.

It was going to be an interesting two weeks.

...

 The apartment was a nightmare. Keigo really hadn’t been lying when he told about how extreme nesting was. 

Notably, nothing was dirty. Keigo was actually an immaculately clean person due to his time with the Commission, but he was disorganized. And the nest of an apartment was testament to that.

There were stray feathers everywhere. Stuck in cupboards, tucked behind the TV, wedged in pillowcases and blankets, even a few under the bathroom sink. Newly purchased blankets and pillows were strewn over every surface. It appeared like you could simply fall in any area of the house and be entirely cushioned. Not to mention that Keigo’s feathers could sense every single motion in the house.

It was a sweet gesture and testament to the protective element of the rut that Keigo described. 

In addition to the many layers of softness, a new, far larger mattress had even been dragged to the living room and placed on top of a high frame set against the wall of windows that overlooked the city. It was heaped with pillows, fluffy blankets, and downy-looking, glimmering feathers. All of, despite its inherent chaos, was the comfiest looking corner of the apartment. 

“Oh, wow, ‘Kei,” You breathed, running a hand along a soft-looking blanket over the back of a chair. “You did such a good job!”

With that, he was pressed against you from behind.

“I... I did? You like it?” Keigo never asked for validation so openly. The implication of his inherent fear around his rut continued to make your heart ache. From what he had told you (and what you read in the days prior about avian behavior), you needed to ‘accept’ the nest he made for the two of you. 

I’ll make this good for him. 

“Yes, so much.” You leaned back against his chest, loving the way the heat of his bare chest seeped so well through your clothes, “I can’t wait to snuggle up with you in it and so much more.” 

Your last word was more than enough to get Keigo chirping into your ear.

Yes, bird-ishly chirping.

It was a mix of high and low clicks, maybe a bit of cooing thrown in as well. As far as his avian adaptations went, this one was newer to you, but remarkably cute. You turned around, pressing a kiss to his neck without thinking.

The contact made Keigo’s aforementioned talons dig into the meat of your hips, a hot breath rolling over your ear, “Please let me fuck you.”

It was abrupt, his shift in tone, but based on the way his cock was nearly burning your backside, it was a necessary step. 

“Well, I certainly won’t stop you,” You didn’t realize the unintended weight of your words, but Keigo sure as fuck did. 

He roughly grabbed your wrist, dragging you across the room to the mattress in the corner.

“W-wait, not the bedroom?” You asked. Keigo pressed at your shoulders, pushing you down roughly, though the softness of the bed dressings insulated your fall. 

“Nope, here, best spot,” Keigo’s words were clipped as he straddled your waist, silencing any other words you might have with a soul-sucking kiss. His tongue wormed its way into your mouth, licking at your gums and receding to suck at your tongue. All the while, you could hear and feel his feathers shudder.

He pulled away, eyes half-lidded and vertical pupils blown wide. 

“You have no fucking idea how much I missed you.” Keigo’s teeth nipped at your pulse point. 

Were... his teeth sharper?

You craned your neck away from him, pulling a nasty growl from his chest. You watched his feathers, both the one’s still fixed to his back and flared upwards and those scattered around, shudder and writhe. 

Keigo’s canines were longer, maybe even a little sharper. 

This rut thing... it was an avian thing, right?

Birds... don’t have sharp teeth... Do they?

 You dismissed it, much more focused on Keigo’s hand as it slipped lower, futzing with the waistband of your pants. 

“Sorry, dove, I’m a little impatient,” His voice was rough and strained, like he was holding back. 

His normally nimble hands struggled with the button of your fly, and with a nasty growl, he snatched up one of his nearby feathers, hardening it in an instant, and slicing your pants off.

“Keigo!” You shrieked, squirming, and sitting up as he tore off the ruined garment. “I liked those! That wasn’t nice.”

 “I think I’m done being nice to you for a bit, dove.” He shot you a dark look. 

You blinked at him.

Keigo had warned you that he would be a bit feral... but you weren’t expecting his nasty attitude. 

You also weren’t expecting to be turned on by the rage-filled spikes in his words. 

“Get on your hands and knees.” Keigo’s voice was clipped as he slipped off his sweats.

Holy.

Fuck.

Keigo’s cock was nothing to fucking sneeze at. It was pretty, long, with nice girth and a perfect curve for your pussy. He tended to keep his body hair well kept and groomed, an old remnant of the militancy of his youth. 

Oh, but ‘fuck you until you’re pregnant’ Keigo? 

His dick was a bit bigger, engorged with what had to be painful blood flow. Heavy balls hung below, ripe and flushed, in desperate need of contact, let alone release. Maybe it was the ambiance (or, the smell and pheromones unknowingly being inhaled into your endocrine system), but his dick looked immaculate. 

“Is your dick bigger, babe?” You asked, half-drooling in your mind at your lover’s cock. It certainly wasn’t hard to. 

Keigo normally would’ve clawed at the opportunity to schmooze you for stroking his ego so directly, but your current version of Keigo was far less into flattery.

“I said, get on your hands and knees.” He didn’t wait for you to reply, just flipped you onto your stomach, straddling your upper thighs. You yelped at the shock of sheets hitting your front, fabric tearing behind you as Keigo made quick work of your shirt.

You gulped as Keigo’s hands, talons, raked their way down your bare back as he let loose a loud, quaking sigh, “Oh, Angel, holy fuck.”

He said the pet name like it was a prayer to God and you let him. 

You shivered under him as his nails drew lines up your neck, all the way into your scalp. Without warning, he pressed the heel of his hand into the curve of your skull, shoving you deeper into the plushness of the nest below you.

Oh... Fuck. Were you about to sloppy fuck in the sheets you’d be spending the next several weeks in?

(Yes.)

 The somewhat gross revelation was quickly forgotten as Keigo’s hot breath shuddered against your ear, his (oh my fucking god slightly pointed?) tongue curled along the soft skin of your pulse point.

You both choked down a moan as his exposed cock rubbed against your backside.

“You’re so pretty like this,” For being feral, and for the blood that was quickly rushing to your head and sex, Keigo sounded very nice. “Gonna look so cute with my cock inside you, right?”

You nodded into the sheets, struggling to raise yourself up on your elbows as Keigo hauled your hips up.

Stabilizing yourself on the softness of the sheets and feathers was much more difficult than one would think. You were already slipping, no matter how you tried to hold yourself up.

“I can’t begin to tell you how much I want to fill you up, right now,” His voice takes on a dreamy lilt as he shoves you back, further into the nest. You crawl on your hands and knees, succumbing to Keigo’s hand on your neck after arriving to the middle of the massive mattress. “But, I also really don’t wanna hurt my angel. Gotta make sure you’re good and ready.”

The sentiment was nice enough, but you stiffened, remembering that Keigo’s nails were not only sharpened, but slightly hooked. You tried to turn, but quickly stop when you felt Keigo’s hot, hot breath over your sex.

You shuddered, biting your lip as his pointed tongue ran up and down your slit. From his hold on the meat of your thighs, you could tell he was trembling and burning. Whether it was from how much he needed you or how much he was holding himself back, you couldn’t be sure. 

Keigo’s pointed tongue ran up between the lips of your cunt, both of you moaning at the sensation. You felt his wings raise behind the two of you, casting shadows down on your display in some weird show of dominance. 

It made your skin run hot.

What made it run even hotter was the jolt you received Keigo pressed his face into your cunt with absolute zero shame. 

His tongue slicked up the lips of your pussy, dipping around your opening with absolutely sinful sounds falling around the two of you.

When you tried to adjust your arms, you caught a quick slap to your ass, pain only pushing your eyes to roll back in your head as Keigo sneered against you.

“Greedy.” It was a rich line, coming from him, king of gluttony, but you weren’t about to argue with him.

His nails dug into your thighs, dragging your cunt and his face together to the point where it felt like there was no space between them. You were helpless to do much other than grind back on his tongue as he tongue-fucked your cunt.

Keigo drew away, grabbing you by the hips and spinning you. Your back hit the nest, eyes spinning as you weren’t so used to him outright manhandling you. You sucked in a breath as you stared up at Keigo, his face slick with your juices and enlarged wings spread out and upwards. 

The slits of his eyes were blown wide, a toothy smile beaming down at you. It seemed sort of sweet before two of his clawed-fingers (thankfully, somewhat gingerly) spread the lips of your cunt. He spat onto your exposed clit, no reverie in his actions as his avian glare slipped over you.

A harsh clicking came from the back of his throat, feathers fluttering.

“B-Babe? Are you okay?” You asked as Keigo refused to look away from your splayed-out body.

“More than okay,” He shuddered, looking a bit more grounded for a moment. He swallowed, shaking his head.

Surprisingly, he reached out to cup the side of your face, rubbing a thumb over your cheek, “If you want me to stop, can you tell me now?”

“I don’t want to, Kei’,” You laid your words on thickly, knowing you had his lucidity. “Can you please fuck me? Fill me up, Kei’.”

He growled, something from deep in his chest, nodding, feathers shimmering in the light of the room.

He was on you instantly, wings flapping to shove his body into yours, lips on yours and tongue pressing into your mouth. The tapered appendage licks and literally fucks your mouth, robbing you of air as you weave your hands into his sweaty tresses and pull.

The pain spurred him on, one of his hands sloppily going between the two of you to line his fat cock with your cunt. He was considerate enough to rub circles on your clit as he rammed into your insides in one single motion.

Your eyes went wide, snapping open and you tug the bite of your nails into the back of Keigo’s head, held by the burning stretch and pleasant ache of your insides. 

Keigo had been fairly quiet during this entire ordeal, an odd thing considering he normally ran his mouth dry with praises, filth, and sweet nothings when he was half this close to your cunt. Yet, he’d hardly spoken through most of it, and most of your reading of him had been based on body (and wing language).

But, when he did finally bottom out, shaking and straining, it clicked.

Based on the sweat that was rolling down his temples, the veins bulging in his forearms, and the rigid tension in his shoulders, he was holding his rut-crazed body back.

You frowned, trying to ignore the kiss of his cock head against your cervix.

Recalling some of the things Keigo told you about some of his more animalistic desires, you decided to egg him on to breaking. Based on the rapid twitching of his wings, he needed it.

Keigo just barely moved, biting his lip and harshly exhaling.

“Baby,” Your own voice broke as you spoke, falling back into his mutant desires as well. “Please, please, fuck me how you need. Please.”

“S’fine, this is enough,” Keigo gritted out as he dragged his cock almost entirely out of your dripping cunt.

To emphasize your need, you grabbed a fistful of his feathers at the base of his wings and tugged, making sure to press your nails to the bone.

Keigo threw his head back, moaning high into the air, a coo mixing with the sound as his wings shuddered in your grip.

You buckled down. 

“No,” You whined, hooking your legs behind the small of his back, thumbing at the plumage as he writhed from your touch. “Fuck me, like you mean it, Keigo. Fill me up.”

He paused, freezing, eyes darting up to your own.

“S-say that again.”

You grinned, dragging his stiff neck down to your mouth, dragging your tongue to his ear, “I said I want you to fill me up. Stuff me full of your cum and breed me so good, please, Kei’.”

You’d never spoken like that to him during sex, and you quickly understood why.

The moment the words left your lips, Keigo slammed his hips back into you, wings fanning out as wide as they could. 

His lips found your neck, cock rearranging your insides with the immediate force and pace of his thrusts. His hands grappled at your hips, your tits, your shoulders, and your legs, anything to get to ram himself into you. Each thrust was punctuated by growls and clicks from the back of his throat, filthy words finally fell from his lips without a trace of shame.

“Oh, baby, I’m gonna breed you so good,” Keigo’s voice was breathy as he raked his nails down your neck, light lines following as he bottomed out in you once more. He roughly grabbed one of your tits, pinching your pebbled nipple. “Gonna make you gush for me, yeah, I am.”

You could’ve given an equally horny response, but Keigo’s tongue was quickly in your throat, groaning into your mouth as his pace picked up to something inhumane.

It was short-lived, the wet slapping of his heavy balls stalling as he damn near screamed into your mouth, coming deep in your throbbing cunt.

You shuddered, feeling his load already dripping from your cunt onto the sticky sheets below you.

Keigo’s lips parted from yours, half-lidded eyes looking glazed and dreamy.

You thought that nutting twice so closely together would slow him down, but you were remarkably wrong. 

You rolled your hips up, smiling, “Feeling okay, Kei’?”

Keigo blinked down at you, lowering his head to nose at your jaw. You tilted your head for him, spine curling when you felt him begin to move again, still fully hard.

“I’m not done yet.” His words were curt and sharp as his arms caged around your head. The sharp peaks of his canines caught on the skin of your neck, dragging and sucking. “Gotta make sure you’re fucked nice and good with my brood, dove. So good.”

You swallowed, eyes rolling back when Keigo bit down at the base of your neck.

Keigo’s hips slammed back into yours, his pace picking up and the squelching of your slick and his cum ringing around the room. You could hardly focus on it, or anything as he quickly threw your legs over his shoulders, moving his licks and bites to your calves and thighs.

Your clit throbbed with each thrust, wet and craving contact. When you reached down to play with yourself, Keigo swatted your hand away with a growl, a red feather from the bed replacing it. The small, soft crimson feathers lapped at your clit, making quick circles as it became wet with slick. 

With the hold on your legs, he hauled you upwards, your lower half lifted off the bed and held by only Keigo’s grip and the curve of your spine. You keened with each of his thrusts, listening to the wild words that spilled from his lips while he rammed your cunt raw. 

They were mostly incoherent, half-sentences about how he was going to ‘breed you until he’s shooting blanks’, ‘fuck you full with his brood’ and ‘reem you until you grew feathers’. Each phrase got your breath going fast, his grip and pace forcing your lungs to fill faster and faster. 

The feather against your cunt grew sloppier, nearly vibrating with its jerky movement. A well-timed swat to your clit by Keigo’s own hand while he talked about your ‘life-giving pussy’ was what sent you over the edge, cunt tightening around his cock. 

His words reached peak incoherency as he rammed into your cervix, spilling into you with a harsh wail, wings stretching upwards and bumping against the ceiling. 

You expected a moment of reprieve, but before you could even think, still spinning with your own orgasm, Keigo flipped you onto your tummy once more.

Despite signing up for this sort of treatment, your insides already ached. The friction of Keigo’s fat cock had stretched you perfectly, all for him, but the deep ache in your core was getting a bit distracting. This was not even mentioning how sore your muscles were getting, pulling from the pacing and positioning Keigo chose at whim.

You didn’t voice your pains, buckling down on your psyche (or, what you had left of it), as Keigo slid into you once more.

“Oh baby,” His voice was slippery as he wound his hands through your hair, pulling and forcing your back into a severe arch. “You feel that?”

He fucked into you harshly, the squelch that followed serving as a reminder of how he’d already more than filled you up.

“So pretty and round with my seed...” Keigo’s words got dreamy and slow, just for a moment as he smoothed his hand over your hips, “Just need to make sure it takes...”

The feather from earlier was back on you as he started up once more, babbling and flapping his massive wings as he fucked you numb. 

You came as he did the next time, your legs giving way under the pressure and sensation. Keigo was quick to tsk, two more of his feathers moving to hold you up as he started to move again, cock never leaving your spent cunt. 

The parts of your brain that were still working and not reduced to a pile of mush wondered how the fuck he was still hard, but all things considered, it shouldn’t have been surprising. Besides, he deserved to satiate himself properly, fucking your gushing cunt, considering he’d never gotten to indulge in his instincts like this before. 

Despite how you burned all over, you let him finish inside you yet again.

And again.

And again?

You lost count at some point.

Keigo apparently really liked you face-down, ass-up, and kept you like that as he fucked you full over and over again. After having his taloned-hand stuck into your hair holding you to the duvet and pillows for so long, your head was spinning. What made all of this all the more overwhelming was the small feather that never fucking stopped moving—

“Kei’, please!” You screamed, voice hoarse and dry. You’re spinning, aching, and yet you still want more.

Keigo’s pace increases, using his wings to rut against your cervix over and over. 

The tempo of the feather increased, Keigo’s growls falling away into his own shriek as he pushed forwards once more, hot cum spraying your walls all over again.

The sensations, all of them, pushed you over the edge, a shriek tearing from your throat as hot tears soaked the nest below. Your orgasm curled your toes to the point of pulling muscles, back bowing and straining as broiling pleasure swallowed you once more. 

Keigo might’ve kept fucking you after that, you couldn’t really remember. With the plumes of feathers under your knees, he could’ve and you wouldn’t have known.

Your body and mind were spent, trying to keep up with his appetite. Your eyes rolled back behind your eyelids, and lucidity was gone to you. 

 ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

 You awoke to soft cooing sounds and the smell of sweat.

It was jarring, shifting the slightest bit and feeling aches and pains you didn’t even know you could have.

The cooing stuttered, falling into a chuckle.

Oh.

Keigo.

His rut.

Oh.

“Oh my god, Kei’, did you fuck me unconscious?” It came out almost as a growl, voice cracking and low. 

A hand carded through your hair as you opened your eyes, taking in the state of yourself, Keigo, and the nest.

You were both sweaty, sticky and smelling all sorts of musky. It was intoxicating, lulling you. It must’ve been those pheromones that Keigo had mentioned way back when.

Keigo had nestled you to his chest, wings spread behind him and shimmering. The windows outside showed only the neon of the city below, night having long since fallen.

He beamed down at you with a clear fondness, a lot of the tension gone from his body, and looking significantly less stressed. But, there was a sad quirk in his brow.

“Sorry about that, angel, I got kind of out of hand there,” Keigo replied sheepishly, smile turning a little sad. 

You frowned.

You couldn’t have him thinking that.

“Nope, no, not at all,” You pushed yourself on an elbow, wincing at the pain, but recovering to peppering his stubbly chin and cheeks with kisses. “None of that, silly. I am happy to help, whatever that entails. I love you, you know?”

Keigo relaxed even more, falling against the nest and pulling you to his chest, “You gotta stop being so sweet, dove. Gonna get me riled up again.”

You hummed, kissing the tip of his nose, “That’s more than fine, just rub my shoulders a bit first. I think I pulled something.”

He kissed at your sweaty hair, rubbing his hands up and down your sides, “I’m more than happy too, dove. Thank you.”

His hands met your shoulders, rubbing at the sore muscles, careful to avoid pressing his talons into the skin. 

You heard him say so softly, more to himself than to you, “I’m gonna keep you so safe.”

The grin that came across your face rivaled the sun in its brightness and honey with its sweetness. You melted into his touch, dissolving blissfully into the smells and feel of your nest. 

Keigo left kiss after kiss against soreness, cooing and clicking as his rut-based needs were more than met. 

For once.
