Heatwave

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Female Reader

Summary: It's hot and you cool down with a sweet treat. You decide to give Bucky a treat, too.

Word Count: Over 2k

Warnings: Dirty talk, possessive behavior, oral sex (m. receiving, talk of f. receiving), reference to sex, humor, slight feels if you squint, reader is horny and down for Bucky Barnes (he's also a warning, okay?).

A/N: A SINday treat thanks to an ask from @buckyismysafehaven. ❤️ Not beta read and written on my phone, so any and all mistakes are my own. Please follow @navybrat817-sideblog for new fics and notifications. Comments, reblogs, feedback are loved and appreciated!

The heat was a bitch and had been for days. You were thankful that you and Bucky had the day off since the very thought of going outside almost made you sweat. You didn’t bother getting dressed, opting to sit around in your underwear near the air conditioner so you could stay cool. Your man tried to stay dressed after a cold shower, which lasted all of two minutes before he stripped off his black t-shirt and pants and muttered about how ungodly warm it was. Your poor super soldier ran hot without trying.

You sympathized. You really did but seeing him in a delicious pair of boxer briefs that left nothing to the imagination had you rubbing your thighs together. And him sitting on the couch with his legs open and head tilted back with his eyes closed, it was reminiscent of how he looked some days when you were on your knees for him. Only the clench in his jaw gave away how frustrated he was. You didn’t blame him for that at all since it was hot as balls.

Speaking of balls, you wanted Bucky’s balls in your mouth. And his cock. Sure, there were other things you could do, like read or clean. The two of you could watch a movie and cuddle if it cooled off a bit. Or you could suck Bucky so good that his eyes would roll back and his soul would briefly leave his body. You were certain your soul once went to some version of Valhalla after marathon sex with him.

Oh, what a fun day that was…

“Thanks for the popsicle,” you said, licking it from the bottom to top. You stocked up when you heard there was going to be a heatwave. It was a nice treat to help you stay cool and it didn't hurt that you could tease him with the visual innuendo if he opened his eyes. 

“You're welcome, sweetheart,” he said, running a hand through his hair. “I can feel you staring at me.”

Of course, you were. Bucky was a looker, a stunner, an eleven out of ten, sin incarnate, something straight out of a romance novel, a walking and talking wet dream. Some days you looked at him and couldn't form a single thought. It was just noises and gibberish. 

“Because you’re hot,” you said, continuing to stare. He was honest to god one of the hottest men you had ever seen and you weren’t sure how you got anything done with him around. “Hotter than the temperature outside.”

The sweet treat melted in your mouth faster when he tilted his head and finally opened his eyes. His pupils dilated when you pushed it as deep as it could go. Your eyes didn’t water since you had more than enough practice taking him into your throat and the treat didn’t compare to his thickness. “I am hot,” he teased in a tone that bordered on cockiness, which you loved. Seeing him confident in his skin, in himself, that meant everything. “And you are so hot I’m about to lose my underwear. I don't know why either of us bother wearing any.” 

He had a point. Why did you two bother? Oh, yeah. Life and adulting and all of that other stuff that required clothing.

He smirked when you licked some of the sticky sweetness off your lips and let your gaze travel down his wide torso. “You should,” you encouraged, gesturing between his legs. “And when I’m done sucking on this popsicle, I can suck on your cock.”

His head fell back with a groan. It was fun being upfront with what you wanted. Life was too short not to be. “You want my cock in your mouth? In this heat?” he whispered, palming himself with a quiet hiss. 

Super soldiers and their sensitivity.

You hummed and slid off the couch, trying your best to look sexy as you moved toward him while holding the popsicle. Even if you looked ridiculous, he wouldn’t care since your mere presence seemed to turn him on. You were lucky you didn’t get a big head because of that.

Big head. Head. You wanted to give Bucky head. He deserved all the blowjobs in the world after the shit he had been through.

“I sure do. I want your cock no matter how you’ll give it to me. Morning, afternoon, evening, any day of the week that ends in ‘y’, and any month of the year that has at least 28 days,” you told him. It sounded like a joke, but you were deadly serious and he didn't laugh. If Bucky Barnes could fuck you all day every day, you’d happily accept that as your purpose in life and forever volunteer as tribute. 

He moaned, the same moan he let out when he recently went down on you. The taste of you drove him wild and he loved diving between your thighs to satisfy his hunger, especially when you sat on his face. None of that hovering shit either. He demanded that you sit on him like a fucking seat. Of course, you obeyed. It was the right thing to do. 

And if he died, he’d die doing what he loved… you. 

“And right now you want my cock in your mouth?” he asked, raising an eyebrow. “Not in your pussy, which I know is soaked?”

Bucky always knew the second you got wet. It was impossible to hide arousal from him. “Uh-huh. I want your cock in my mouth. Then I want it in my pussy, and maybe my ass after that.” His head snapped up so quickly you thought he’d hurt himself and you just smiled. It looked innocent, but there was so much sin underneath it. “That’s right, Bucky. I’d let you fuck my tight ass if you asked me nicely.”

You were in the camp that your ass was an “exit only” until Bucky entered your life. What could you say? The man made you want to be a whore, specifically his whore. So, if he wanted to fuck your ass and tease your pussy with a dildo of his size and shape, you’d beg for it and more.

“I’ll ask nicely like a gentleman,” he promised in a husky tone, his legs opening more so you could comfortably kneel between them. The man could be a gentleman, buying you flowers just because, holding open doors, and insisting on paying for dates. And then he'd turn around and fuck you like he was making up for lost time. “For now, how about I just wreck your mouth since you offered?”

You made sure he watched as you licked some more of your treat, his breathing heavier and his thighs trembling. Your thighs trembled, too, and your pussy ached. Sex may not be the best idea since it would heat you up and it was hot enough, but who said you couldn’t take another cold shower? Plus, bad ideas could be fun. “Yes, please. Wreck my mouth the way you need to,” you said, putting the popsicle back in your mouth for a second to keep it cold. “Think about how nice my mouth feels because of this.”

“Makes me wonder how quickly that thing would melt if I put it in your pussy,” he mused, making your eyes go wide. “But that could be messy and I'm not about to risk you getting an infection or worse.”

“I adore you,” you said. As horny as you could both be for each other, safety and consent mattered. “And agreed. No popsicle in my pussy today. Just let me keep licking it so I can cool off your gorgeous cock.”

“Let me have a taste,” he murmured, leaning down and cupping your face with tenderness he didn't believe he possessed some days. 

Your mouth was anything but cool when he pressed his lips to yours and slid his tongue past with no resistance. His tongue dueled with yours, heating you up from the inside out. It had you so hot that you whined when he pulled away, and you were happy that he looked as ruined as you. Kisses shouldn't be that powerful, but it was a power you shared together. 

“Now let me have a taste,” you whispered, your heart pounding as you kissed down his warm chest and stomach. 

He put a hand on the back of your head with a smile, not rushing you when you mouthed along his underwear. You knew he’d feel how cool your lips were through the fabric. “And my cock isn’t gorgeous,” he chuckled, his gaze softening. “But you look gorgeous taking it.”

You pulled back so quickly he whimpered. You made the former Winter Soldier whimper. Oh, that had you smirking and nearly dripping down your thighs. Or was that because he praised you? “Your cock is gorgeous. It’s the most gorgeous cock I’ve ever seen, and it’s gorgeous when it ruins my holes,” you said, helping him tug his underwear down far enough to free him.

You almost whimpered this time as you stared at it. Or was it staring at you? It was so thick and big, and you still didn’t know some days how you took him. You told yourself it was because you were made for him, which was the same thing he said to you. You loved everything he said to you. 

“I know, sweetheart. I know. I feel it, too.”

“‘Atta girl. I knew you could take it.”

“Gonna make me blow if you keep doing that.”

“This pussy was made for my cock. You were made for me.”

“You’re mine. All fucking mine.”

“I love it when you fall apart for me.”

“I love you.”

You loved the beautiful menace, too. 

He growled when you sucked the tip into your mouth. “Fuck, that feels good.” The precum was sweeter than normal thanks to fruity aftertaste from your frozen treat. You’d have to ask him later if he could try pineapple juice so you could test that theory. “And what do you mean the most gorgeous cock you’ve ever seen? That implies that you’ve seen other cocks,” he said through his teeth.

You almost giggled, but the extra growl he let out stopped you. Neither of you were virgins before each other, but he liked to pretend he was your one and only. You loved his possessive streak, and he was the only one who mattered. Another day you might egg him on so he’d fuck the brat out of you, but you chose this battle wisely with the heat being what it was, swallowing down your words the way you swallowed him down. The icing on the cake was the angelic look in your eyes as you did so. 

The same look that always made his hard cock turn to steel.

You pulled off to take one more lick of your popsicle when it began to melt faster. “How about this? Let me help you forget all about the heat while you make me forget that anyone exists outside of you,” you offered, smirking once more. “I’ll get you off before this melts.”

He raised an eyebrow. “And I get to fuck your ass bare, just like your pussy?”

You gasped, and you were lucky you didn’t drop the popsicle. Condoms existed, but Bucky didn’t like anything between you when you had sex and neither did you. Knowing he’d truly claim all of your holes had your head spinning in a way that had nothing to do with the heat.

“As long as it’s in front of a mirror so I can see your face,” you answered.

He seemed to contemplate that, his blue eyes sparkling when he brought your hand to his mouth and licked away the juice that dripped onto your fingers. You clenched around nothing, and he knew it. “Deal,” he sighed with a smile and slid back into your waiting mouth. “Now help me forget the heat, and I’ll make you forget about the rest of the world.”

And that was exactly what the two of you did.

So, yeah. Happy SINday, lovelies. 🥰 Love and thanks for reading! ❤️

OTHER METHODS TO MANIFEST + SOURCES TO BACK UP MANIFESTATION

the moment i woke up, i ran to my notes app to respond to every ask that i can post—issue is, there was an ask i physically couldn’t respond to. i couldn’t draft it, i tried posting three times maximum so i decided to post it here and hopefully the anon that asked sees.

let’s start with the first thing:

“affirming is a way to believe”—okay, but what else?

yes, affirming is one method. and it works. not because the words are magic, but because the act of repeating a statement encodes it into your cognitive system through a process called Hebbian learning. “neurons that fire together wire together.” when you affirm “I am confident,” and simultaneously imagine it, act it, feel it, and repeat it, you are literally strengthening neural connections that define your self-concept.

but belief is not born from words alone, unless you believe it is. here’s every other way you can build belief that doesn’t rely solely on affirming:

1. Environmental reinforcement

the brain doesn’t exist in a vacuum. belief thrives in an environment that supports it. so if you’re affirming “I’m safe” but living in chaos, doomscrolling negativity, hanging out with people who question your worth, your nervous system is gonna call bullshit. you should construct a sensory field that mirrors the belief you’re choosing.

that means:

• change your visuals. your room, your phone, your mirror messages.

• curate your audio diet. music that echoes your desired reality. no more sad shit unless it’s powerful sad shit.

• limit contradictory input. if you’re manifesting wealth, stop tuning into narratives of scarcity. not out of fear, but because that’s not your storyline anymore.

you create belief when your five senses are enrolled in the same script.

2. Identity-based routines

instead of saying “I’m confident,” become someone who does confident things. this is identity theory in behavioral science. instead of affirming the end state, affirm the identity traits that lead there—and reinforce them through consistent micro-actions.

want to believe you’re creative?

→ set a 5-minute creative timer every morning, even if it’s just doodling.

want to believe you’re loved?

→ write letters to yourself from imaginary lovers. yes, do it.

want to believe you’re powerful?

→ choose your outfit like you’re being watched by a room full of spies and they all fear you.

belief is memory. belief is repetition. belief is self-reference. your brain says, “we do this often. must be who we are.”

3. Emotional rehearsal

this one’s neuro-backed to hell and back. the brain doesn’t distinguish between real and imagined emotion. when you feel a belief, even as a simulation, your body encodes it as lived experience. this is the foundation of visualization in sports psychology and trauma recovery. emotional state + mental image = stored memory.

set aside time to practice what it feels like to already be the version of you that has the belief. not what they do. what they feel. embody it in detail. what does your breath do? how do your shoulders rest? how do you look at strangers? what kind of silence follows you?

the more detailed the internal scene, the faster the neural map updates.

4. Reverse logic traps

this one is chaotic and very real. sometimes belief is built not by stacking evidence, but by destroying opposing logic.

for example:

→ “Why wouldn’t this be true?”

→ “Who told me I had to wait?”

→ “What actually happens if I stop doubting?”

→ “What if belief is safer than fear?”

belief doesn’t just need repetition. it also needs deconstruction. tear down the shitty logic that held the old system up.

5. Embodied movement rituals

I don’t care if this sounds witchy. the body stores identity. if your beliefs haven’t changed, your posture might still be carrying old scripts. the nervous system uses proprioception (body awareness) to encode safety, certainty, and power.

→ stretch like someone who takes up space.

→ walk like the ground exists because you’re on it.

→ sit like you’re being painted by someone who adores you.

you’re not faking it. you’re sending a signal to your system: this is what we do now.

6. Controlled delusion

this is the fun one. belief doesn’t require evidence. it creates evidence. this is seen in placebo effects, delusional confidence, and even phantom limb pain. if you decide something is true and refuse to check for proof, you become a magnet for internal confirmation.

this isn’t “toxic positivity.” this is system override.

say, “this is just how it is now.” then act like it. even if it’s ridiculous. even if your surroundings look the same. belief grows faster when you stop testing it and start protecting it.

now for the second part of your ask:

“Can you recommend reliable sources?”

firstly, i’d like to mention that Neville Goddard is one of, if not, THE biggest inspiration for my work—yet,

let’s keep this grounded in verified models and real academic fields. manifestation and LOA often get treated like woo or fantasy, but what people call “magic” is usually a misinterpreted user manual for cognitive architecture, physics, and perceptual systems. here’s the backbone:

Neuroscience + Cognitive Psychology

this is where most of belief building is explained.

KEY CONCEPTS:

• Hebbian learning → how repetition strengthens belief

• Reticular Activating System (RAS) → filters what reality you notice

• Neuroplasticity → the brain changes itself based on what it repeats and focuses on

• Predictive Coding / Free Energy Principle (Karl Friston) → the brain constructs reality through prediction, not reaction

• Placebo effect studies → prove that belief alone activates the body’s healing and performance systems

Sources to look into:

• Andrew Huberman’s work (especially on behavior reinforcement)

• Lisa Feldman Barrett’s research on emotion and perception

• Friston’s Free Energy Principle (dense, but worth it)

• Books: The Brain That Changes Itself by Norman Doidge, How Emotions Are Made by Barrett

Quantum Mechanics (responsibly)

this part gets abused a lot in LOA circles. people slap “quantum” on anything and call it science. but the actual useful insights come from understanding how observation, probability, and state collapse apply to consciousness.

REAL CONCEPTS TO STUDY:

• Quantum superposition → multiple states existing until observed

• Observer effect → conscious measurement affects outcome

• Many Worlds Interpretation (Hugh Everett) → every possibility exists as a real path

• Decoherence → how possibilities reduce to a single experience

Sources to look into:

• The Fabric of the Cosmos by Brian Greene

• Quantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness by Rosenblum and Kuttner

• Interviews with Sean Carroll on the multiverse and MWI

• You Are the Universe by Menas Kafatos and Deepak Chopra (yes, Chopra, but paired with actual physicist insight)

Psychosomatics + Mind-Body Medicine

you want real-world evidence that belief shifts reality? study placebo-controlled trials, psychosomatic illness, and neuro-immune modulation.

Things to look into:

• Studies showing belief-induced remission in patients

• Nocebo effects (when belief causes illness)

• The biology of belief by Bruce Lipton (a bit woo, but founded in epigenetics)

Consciousness Research + Phenomenology

if you’re exploring the experience of identity, timeline, and “I AM,” this is your field.

Relevant concepts:

• Self-schema theory → your beliefs shape your autobiographical memory

• Time perception studies

• Meditation neuroimaging (how altered states rewire the sense of self and time)

TL;DR: so how do you build belief?

→ you live the belief before it reflects.

→ you change your environment, behavior, posture, language, inputs, and memories.

→ you stop waiting for evidence and become the source of it.

→ you stop seeking permission and build feedback loops in your body and mind.

��� and if you need help backing it all up? you have literal decades of cognitive science, neuroscience, physics, and behavioral theory sitting in academic journals waiting for you to weaponize it.

belief is not fragile. it’s programmable.

you are not at the mercy of your thoughts. you’re the programmer. so pick the script. install the system. and run the damn code.

Have you heard about the hidden deer sprites (Noelle and Dess?) in the Sword Route game and the hidden 'Toriel' variable that specifically switches the black deer sprite into a dark monster?

The black deer is the monster that mirrors mini Kris's movements and we can briefly control before being umpromptedly killed by mini Kris, and I wonder what those imply if it's actually meant to represent Dess...

Yeah, it's certainly very interesting...

When I first saw the Dark Monster, before I knew about the hidden Deer and the Toriel variable, my first assumption/interpretation that it was a metaphor for Kris themself in a way.

Y'know, most of the characters associated with this Horned Monster Shape have been Dreemurrs, the white ones have been compares to Toriel, the yellow ones that shoot spears have been compared to Asgore (especially since they keep showing up on the same rooms as the flower enemies), maybe even the orange fire-themed ones being Asriel...

And Kris is basically the 'black sheep' of their family, the Dark Monster mirrors their movements, acts like their 'shadow' in a way, the glowing blue eyes might be a reference their color-scheme in the Dark World or is a reverse of their red eyes, there's only one enemy of this kind just like Kris feels isolated as the Only Human in Hometown...

So my first instincts was to see this as a metaphor for self-loathing or self-destruction born out of guilt for their part in the Weird Route.

But obviously adding in the information about the Hidden Deer Sprites, it feels much more likely that this shadowy Dark Monster stands-in for the Knight, the dark and shadowy figure who is most likely a member of the Holiday family (and thus a Reindeer).

I guess one could say Kris and the Knight mirror each other on some level. Obviously visually Kris has always looked like a Knight, clad in armor, wielding a Sword. Since they seem to be working together, they probably have at least kinda similar goals. And we know at least some of the Dark Fountains attributed to the Knight were actually opened by Kris.

But this mirror-movement-puzzle might indicate a deeper level of parallels that we're not fully aware of at the moment.... since another point of comparison between Kris and the Knight is that they are both incredibly mysterious to us the Players.

With the Player utilizing said 'mirroring' to kill the Dark Monster, that might be foreshadowing to a Weird Route Player managing to use the Knight's trust in Kris to manipulate them and eventually forcing Kris turn on them.

I mean, I think it's likely that Kris will turn on the Knight regardless of Route. It's just that in the Normal Route it'll probably be based on their own free will and their conflicting loyalties and friendship with Susie... and...

Well, I don't think that's likely what's going to happen on the Weird Route.

But of course, that's all built on the assumption that the Dark Monster is supposed to be a stand-in for the Knight. It's also important to remember that while that feels like the most reasonable conclusion for now, it's still not confirmed and is partly based on it's own reasonable-but-not-confirmed assumptions (for example, that the antlers on the Knight's helmets show that they're a Reindeer Monster rather than, for example, a purely decorative symbol of their loyalty to Carol). It's always good to consider other alternatives.

Maybe the Dark Monster could stand in for the Ominous Phone Voice of Probably Carol (assuming she's not also the Knight). The icy blue eyes are fairly reminiscent of her color-scheme, after all...

You described the way the Dark Monster mirrors HERO_SWORD as us 'controlling' the Dark Monster, but I guess without knowing who the Player Character is... It could also be seen as the Dark Monster controlling HERO_SWORD? Like a parallel to how the Ominous Phone Voice of Probably Carol is ordering Kris around? So maybe it's showing us how Carol's attempts to control Kris and the Player in the Weird Route is going to backfire on her in some horrible way.

Or the Dark Monster could be Dess without Dess necessarily being the Knight. With the Dark coloration maybe connecting to the theory that Dess is the Unused Dialogue...

Or just because part of the Puzzle is based on the fact the Monster's dark coloring makes it a bit hard to perceive against the also-dark background, and thus to solve the Puzzle and kill the Monster you need to... find her(.ogg).

Or maybe it's just in reference to how Dess has a much darker color-scheme and aesthetic than the other Holidays

It could also be that the Regular Deer and the Black Deer are actually supposed to represent the same person, that they are both Noelle. After all, this Monster is only encountered after the White Cloak has left the Party. The Dark Monster and the Black Deer maybe just represent a Darker and Edgier version of Noelle after she has been 'Used Up' in the Weird Route. Maybe her joke in the Normal Route about 'going grimdark' holds more water than we thought?

But, of course, that wouldn't be enough to actually get her out of the Player's control and thus...

I still think the Dark Monster = Knight is the most concrete-sounding interpretation so far, but it's important to keep an open mind...

The thing that really fascinates me is why is the variable that turns the Deer into the White Cloak and the Dark Monster named "Toriel"? Is it just a reference to her overprotective attitude and the many Parental Locks she has tried to put in place?

Hiding violence, dark realities and sexy alligators from her children the way the Toriel Variable hides the connection between the White Cloak, the Dark Monster and the Holidays?

Or is this implying that Toriel had more to do with what happened to the Holiday family than we previously thought?

Hmmmm....

I totally get depicting Craig as darker skinned, it adds a nice bit of variety visually and it helps tie into the Incan/Peruvian heritage. I also see him as slightly darker skinned but still having an overall fair complexion, just enough that most people would still consider him white.

I actually came up with his bio mom's name through a mix of looking up Peruvian names and also from the David Sylvian song of the same name (funny since I usually use Sylvian and Japan music as a reference point for Pip, but I guess it was bound to spill over into other characters)

I will clarify that I don't necessarily see Craig going Hollywood per se, but I can see it as something of a hobby that he does in his spare time. He's not looking to become this great famous director, he's doing these films purely for himself and maybe Tweek and some of their friends. I also can see him being into directing documentaries as it allows him to indulge in multiple interests as once as well as letting him be more hands-on in the process. In addition, he doesn't have to worry as much about communicating his ideas to others and be vulnerable, something he's obviously not comfortable with. Contrast that with Tweek, who would likely feel more comfortable directing narrative films as he can focus more on the creative side of things as well as the more collaborative nature of narrative film.

I absolutely thought of Craig and Stripe when coming up with the daughter's guinea pig, even down to the name "Dot" as it still fit the motif of a pattern for a name.

And you know, you gotta respect Richard's hustle. Hell, the fact that he's even able to brew coffee in prison is already impressive in of itself.

Since no one has asked about them yet; Tweek and Craig

Sorry I just saw this! Surprised nobody else has asked about them lollll

Craig

-Autistic (though undiagnosed)

-Very picky eater, always has to inspect his food to make sure it’s “up to code” before deciding to put it in his mouth. Half the time he’ll just end up straight refusing it

-Allergies are the reason for his nasally voice, quite literally a snot nosed kid (wipes it on his hands and sleeves too which grosses the hell out of Tweek)

-Norwegian and English on his father’s side, Peruvian on his Biological mother’s side (Laura is his step-mom!)

-Craig’s mom died from childbirth complications and Thomas doesn’t really like talking about her much (he tries to be tough and play it off but it hurts a lot for him) so Craig never knew much about that side of his family. I do like to think Thomas does eventually open up to Craig more about his bio mom as he gets older, though honestly pretty indifferent about it (to him, Laura is his mom).

-Taller than most kids in his class, and sorta awkward/lanky. 98% legs, and pretty much built like a string bean. Also has broader shoulders, which he grows into more as he gets older

-Was pretty short (around same height as tweek) and slightly chubby pre Tweek vs Craig era, but went through a growth spurt sometime between then and South Park is gay! (Since I believe that’s around the time we start to see Craig depicted with a taller model than the other kids, though it could even be sometime before that)

-Rarely takes off his hat. He only does so if he has to, and even then he doesn’t really enjoy it. It’s become an item of comfort to him, and he doesn’t like parting with it. Even after he grows out of it, he still holds onto it

-Works as a nasa engineer for many years as an adult, before retiring to co-own a bakery with Tweek. He still does substitute work however for college engineering classes on the side, to earn a few extra bucks!

Tweek

-Audhd

-Bandages on his hands from coffee burns and also dermatillomania, a skin picking disorder

-Has seborrheic dermatitis, a skin condition, on his scalp and face, which often flares up due to stress/anxiety

-A nail biter, sometimes bites them down so much they end up bleeding (another reason he needs bandaids), which just ends up worsening his anxiety. Also will sometimes just straight up chew on his fingers/knuckles when he’s stressed too.

-Has a very unique eye color, which can only be described as a “blue hazel”, with a mix of blue, green, and yellow (sorta implied canon). Craig loves staring at them and describing all the different shades he sees

-A mix of Czech, Polish, and Scandavian roots on his mother’s side. His father comes from Colombian roots, with his closest relatives being primarily polish-Colombian

-Tweek’s paternal grandfather and great uncle, Antonio and Pedro Guerrero, are both Colombian immigrants who came to the US in their early 20’s with the intention of expanding their amateur coffee business. A disagreement between the two, however, resulted in Pedro’s departure, and Antonio taking full control of the business. This, of course, starts a line of generational trauma, inflicted onto Tweek by his own father

-Was literally born into the family business, he was named Tweek so that his father could use having a baby as promotional material to sell more coffee

-The Tweak last name is made up and originates from a Canadian-Colombian immigrant named Tiberius Tweakley, the one who inspired Tweek’s grandfather and great uncle to open up their business in the first place.

-Chubby lil guy. Big sweet tooth/stress eater + genetics makes it hard for him to lose weight, any weight he does lose from the coffee he just ends up gaining right back. It does, however, catch up to him as a teenager, though he does end up gaining a lot of it back later on after therapy and rehab. Below-average in height, not incredibly short, though shorter than most of his friends

-Loves to read, his favorite genre is mystery

-Once tried to join a sports team but panicked and ended up choosing them all

-Very creative/crafty, and works the best with his hands. This results in his being quite skilled at things like arts and crafts, building, and playing instruments

-A sharp shooter and incredible hand-eye coordination

-Spends several years working as a freelance baker/cake decorater as an adult, before eventually opening up a shop of his own

-As per family tradition, Tweek is given the Tweek bros family recipe on his 16th birthday. This, of course, changes his life forever.

Also you didn’t really ask but…I’d be amiss if I didn’t use this opportunity for some creek headcanons as well

-Tweek is the yapper, Craig is the listener; though sometimes they do switch

-Craig is usually the one that plans out their dates because Tweek is terrible at planning things, though that’s not to say Tweek hasn’t had a few surprise up his own sleeves, even if he’s a mess at going about them

-They each have their own love languages, that are expressed in different ways. Craig’s being mainly physical touch, while Tweek’s is mostly acts of service, such as gift-giving

-Speaking of, Tweek is emotionally clingy while Craig is physically clingy

-As mentioned before, they co-own a bakery together as adults

-I also like to think they have an adopted daughter, who comes into the picture sometime after the events of the post-covid specials, making Tweek and Craig both “later in life” parents

-Temporarily break up after Tweek is hauled away to rehab shortly after he turns 16. He’s the one who initiates the break-up, not trusting himself and worrying he’ll only end up hurting Craig. Craig is quite distraught by this, but attempting to keep up appearances he buries it all away, causing him to become more emotionally distant from his friend group than usual. They do get back together by senior year however, and just in time from prom too. ;))

-They have a schedule where they decide who gets stripe on certain weekends and etc. This also includes things like a feeding schedule and so on.

-Sometimes they sneak stripe into school so that they play with him during class

-Craig sometimes goes to Tweek bros during business hours to keep Tweek company while he works

-Tweek will sometimes text Craig during very late hours of the night, either due to whatever the subject of his anxiety is or just loneliness. It gets pretty boring being up all night with no one to talk to.

-Craig is the only person Tweek can fall asleep around

Why the hell does English not have more color categories???

Like, these are all the same color according to English

Why??? None of these are even CLOSE to one another, nevermind the same!!!

Or

At no point should the top left one be in the same category as the bottom middle or bottom right. They aren’t even close

I could go on but I do unfortunately have actually important things to do so I’ll leave it here now, but seriously we really really need more basic color categories

Image 1:

A design of "The Devil" tarot card. It has the texture of recycled paper and reads "THE DEVIL". A symbol of a gravestone is visible behind the numeral "XV".

A young Jason Todd in his Robin uniform tugs at a thick chain around his neck that comes down from the top of the frame. Matching shackles are around his wrists and he is buried up to his waist in dirt. His head is tilted up towards the chain. There is blood on his hands, arms, chest, and dripping down the right side of his face as well as from his nose.

Image 2:

A design of "The Devil" tarot card. It has the texture of recycled paper and reads "THE DEVIL" upside-down. A symbol of a flame is visible behind the numeral "XV".

Jason Todd faces forward, filling most of the frame. He is in his Red Hood uniform and has narrowed pupil-less white eyes. He is holding the end of a thick chain in his right fist. Flames fill the background and bathe him in an orange light. The entire card is upside-down.

for the past couple of days, i've been working on Boe's house in limbo and getting it to look close to how i've been picturing it in my head - here's a couple of shots so far showing off the exterior and interior, with the top screenshot being further along in progress than the other exterior shots.

Do you have any cherik fics recs set in the comics? Or at least not set in X-men first class

my rec list is very small for i don't really read fanfics and i only really read things when they're recc'd to me HOWEVER i do have a Very Small collection for you (descending by word count). under the cut cause the descriptions got long by accident Oops

1.) [EXPLICIT, READ WARNINGS BEFOREHAND] Chimera, by Andraste (Word Count: 1,304)

(Takes place in the Ultimate X-Men (2001) timeline) I can't really describe this fic adequately without telling the whole thing or accidentally doing an analysis on it: while it doesn't have a strict plot, calling it PWP isn't too accurate in my opinion either. The smut in this fic- in my reading- isn't meant to be erotic in the typical way we approach NSFW in fanfiction, but if I start to go in-depth on what that means this post is just going to be dissecting everything line-for-line LOL. The best way I suppose I can describe the premise of this fic is a "grim" scenario based around Charles reworking Erik's mind and keeping him "docile", and Erik catching on to what's been happening to him. This fic explores how Erik wants Charles to "atone" and confront the consequences for this meddling.

2.) As If Nothing Happened, by joshriku (Word Count: 3,289)

(Takes place amidst X-Men Unlimited (1993) #1) This fic expands on the X-Men Unlimited tidbit where Charles is rescued by a """"mysterious"""" figure (who we later learn is Erik in UXM 309) during the snowstorm he, Scott, and Ororo were entrapped by. Very domestic and "warm" and sprinkled with beautiful, playful back-and-forths, and is a joy to revisit if you want something cozy.

3.) [EXPLICIT, READ WARNINGS BEFOREHAND] Behind Closed Minds by f3armgneto (Word Count: 4,914)

(No specific verse or timeline) Honorable Mention Is Honorable i gotta include the fic that was written for me... i wasn't sure if you were looking for explicitly-stated comicverse fics only but i needed to do an honorable mention..... the art this fic's based off of is meant to be comicverse so surely that must count... Premise is essentially that Charles accidentally telepathically peeps on Erik showering and is incapable of moving beyond the instance without "proper resolution". Meanwhile on Erik's end, fully aware he'd been spied upon, thinks of a "countermeasure" to Charles' voyeurism (spoilers: it's more of a reward than a deterrent).

4.) it's going to be a long, long time, by joshriku

(Takes places amidst Krakoa period around AXE Judgment and X-Men Red) A series of events between Charles and Erik following the latter leaving to retire on Arakko. My summary does a poor job on highlighting the chemistry, dialogue, and longing between Erik and Charles in this: I can only beg you to give the fic some time to read it.

5.) not so tragic, my love- it's this dream, it's this sun, by joshriku

(Takes place post-gala/beginning-of-post of the Krakoa period, diverges from X-men: From The Ashes (2024)) Erik has Charles stay with him on Island M after the fall of Krakoa. It's no surprise Charles isn't doing so well mentally after losing everything, but- amidst the facsimile of some domestic joys- Erik wrangles with Charles' depression and anguish, the professor having long lost the light in his spirit to help his fellow mutants readjust after the downfall. (Guest Starring: Jean Grey who has a wonderfully written interaction with Charles- though this fic In Its Entirety is wonderfully written...)

when i was looking through my bookmarks i hadn't realized literally like. half of my rec list was written by joshriku AJLVKEJALK BUT THEM'S THE WORKS i owe them my life for getting charles and erik's voices, thoughts, and actions down so wonderfully. i hadn't read Number 5 in a while and i'm grateful for the excuse to do so: it's probably my favorite of their works that i have listed here, so if you read any of these fics i greatly suggest that one

if you read any of these at all tho i hope you enjoy them !!
