FINALLY A LEGITIMATE IMAGE OF MY BELOVED(s)

took a LOT of blending layers, but look!!! the lil guys!!!!

Despite being only the first out of four in that boss rush I'm running, The Smoker is arguably one of my favorite Frankenstide bosses. Simple gimmick, simple attacks, really annoying to deal with. For some reason, nobody thought to hit them from behind.

Lore-wise, The Smoker's method of attacking is akin to that of the Octo Samurai. Instead of a roller, however, they use a cast-iron omelet pan! So it! Really hurts!! They're also fond of charging and ramming into enemies.

Standing close to the height of a Steelhead, their segmented armor and precarious build are the result of a compact Stinger perch inside of it! Basically, it's a bunch of Salmonid stacked in a suit of armor.

You can brute force the armor, of course, though it's frustrating to do so; it's easier to attack them at their weak point, from behind. (I forgot to draw that part. Just imagine a glowing tail sticking out of a small hatch like the ones on a Griller.)

Once it's busted, you can freely access the compact Stinger perch and the main driver stationed in the middle. The salmon inside will do their best to repair the suit of armor as quickly as possible, though.

But uh, yeah!! Love 'em! They're just really goofy.

I don't know your time zone but it's Wednesday here, so hopefully I'm ok! I've really enjoyed reading your fills, they're all so brilliant. I'm nearly finished writing a Malec version of Beauty and the Beast; could you pick any other fairytale, your favourite or an obscure one you wish people knew or whatever criteria you like, and give us your best version please? Thank you, your fics make so many people happy!

you were absolutely fine! this is kind of a reverse tamlin fairytale that saeth and i talked about. because you mentioned obscure and while it's well known, it's not a super popular or mainstream tale that is used a lot.

also tumblr ate your prompt twice and i had it saved and then it gave me back your ask. if you want to share, you can always send over a link to your fic when you're done with it! beauty and the beast is a lovely classic! i hope you enjoy!

Alec runs through the woods, ducking behind a wall of vines and bending through their reaching grasp, ripping himself free with a tear of leather when they thorns grasped too deep.

Fray and Jace thought they were smart, meeting and taunting the seelie queen and Alec is the bait, the distraction. He runs to give them time but there is no time for himself.  If he’d had even a moment to plan, to think, maybe it would have been okay.

However, the seelie queen is cruel and mischievous and she never strikes the same way twice.  Jace prioritized Clary as he always does and once again, Alec finds himself paying the price.

It’s with a shuddering breath he breaks through a veil of shadows and smoke, and he pauses a moment

There are gates in front of him. Trees curving with charred trunks and branches and curling to create a large, looming gate.

Whoever is here, they are no friends to the queen. Alec can tell the difference in the magic, in the way that the knights and scouts hunting him slow down.

They’re more wary and Alec can hear them, on the other side of the veil, deciding whether or not they would risk their queen’s wrath, or whoever Alec’s stumbled over.

It’s enough for him and while it’s a risk, it’s certainly less of a risk than being thrown into a bloody chase by Jace.

So, Alec steps to the gate, bows a little in courtesy and opens it.

There is no one to greet him but the gates close behind him. The seelies have finally followed and while the gate will slow them down, even longer than the veil, Alec needs to be safe before whatever pollen he was hit with takes effect.

There’s another door and a hall with a throne and Alec gets halfway before whatever he was hit with finally hits him harder than he can stand and he crumbles, unable to take another step as he falls.

—

Magnus stares down at the nephilim collapsed by his throne. When the wards had summoned him, warning him of an intruder, he hadn’t expected to find nervous and terrified seelie scouts poking around his wards.

He especially hadn’t expected to find a pollen dosed shadowhunter, half-conscious and already caught in a haze.

“You won’t have very long—” Magnus tells him, bending down to run a finger down a flushed cheek. “The more you fight it, the worse it will be.”

Hazel eyes blink up at him and Magnus wonders at just what this nephilim, who was hunted to his door, sees when he looks up. Magnus smiles, teeth a shade too sharp, his golden eyes gleaming with curiosity and the velvet of his antlers angled up like a crown.

“Come now,” Magnus croons, “tell me angel, will you suffer while I watch? Or will you come to me for aid?”

Either way, Magnus will be entertained and while it would be more interesting and fun to fuck the cure into his prey, Magnus is fine watching him struggle through the attacks of pleasure by himself.

There’s a moment where he leaves the nephilim there, goes to his throne and sits and thinks this will be his evening. That he will watch a nephilim shudder and shake and break apart on the floor of his hall and enjoy seeing him scrabble at Magnus’ feet.

Instead, the shadowhunter slowly gets to his feet and stumbles over. There’s a confused, desperate look on his face and he nearly falls into Magnus as soon as he’s close enough.

“You poor thing,” Magnus coos and reaches out for him, hands cupping his face as he gentles his nephilim and brings him to his knees, between Magnus’ thighs. “What’s you’re name, pretty boy?”

“Alexander—” his boy murmurs out, something pinched on his face as he almost frowns and then he shakes it away. “I, wha—”

“Hush.” Magnus says, brushing a finger over his lips and petting the softness there. “It’s a simple enough deal, angel. Pleasure for pleasure and the cure is made.”

A hungry mouth presses kisses to his finger and Magnus chuckles, delighted by how this is going. It’s with ease that he unbuttons his pants and gets his cock out. There are a great many ways to cure this poison, but Magnus knows exactly which one he wants.

And why he wants it.

“Touch me first, sweetheart.” Magnus urges, his hand gentle on Alexander’s face and it’s a sharp contrast from the violent hunger he’s holding back.

Alexander wraps his fingers around Magnus’ cock transfixed. There is an endearing gleam of innocent awe as he tries to find a rhythm. Magnus allows it until he’s hard and soaking Alexander’s hands and more than ready to claim his prize, so he hooks a heel around Alexander’s back and drags him forward.

“Kiss me.” Magnus commands and Alexander’s lips are a soft plushness, a sloppy, wet kiss to the crown of his cock and Alexander moans, as if he already knows he’s found the cure he seeks.

“Drink—” Magnus tells him, and Alexander obeys, tongue eager and mouth hot as he suckles Magnus’ cock.

He’s a delight to behold and to feel and Magnus tangles his fingers deep in Alexander’s hair and fucks into his throat with a slow determination that has his boy whimpering and drooling around him.

When Magnus comes, holding Alexander’s hair and keeping him trapped and close, unable to spill a single drop, it’s with the knowledge that no matter what happens next.

He’s won.

—

Alec goes back to the court only to find Jace and Clary gone, Simon as well. It’s with an aggravated sigh that he glares are the queen.

“I evaded your hunters and scouts.” He tells her, not about to share, that he knows exactly what she meant to happen to him. “It is my right, as the winner to leave.”

There is a dark scowl on her tiny, infantile face and it’s disquieting to see such large eyes look so dead and only shine with malice and greed.

“Very well, you have won. This once.” She makes it sound like it was a game Alec wanted, something he joined of his own free will and he grimaces, holding back the threat that itches to break free from his hoarse and swollen throat.

If it weren’t for Magnus, Alec isn’t sure where he’d be or what condition he’d be in and while it was hard to leave him once Alec regained clarity, Alec knows it’s for the best.

“Once you’ve consumed anything of this realm, you cannot leave.” The queen is pale, staring at Alec in something like horror and there is none of her previous delight when he finally showed back up. “What did you eat?”

“I ate nothing.” Alec responds, because he hadn’t. Magnus took care of him, cured him and ruined Alec in ways he still doesn’t understand, but he hadn’t eaten anything.

“You have.” The queen says and she’s shaking, “what did you eat? I cannot break the claim binding you to this realm!”

Alec snarls, ready to explain for the second and final time that he consumed nothing, when a possessive, heavy hand curls around his hip and pulls him into a warmth he’s already been missing.

“Magnus—” he murmurs, surprised and delighted and unable to do anything but sway into him.

“Oh Alexander,” Magnus croons and there’s something dark in his golden eyes. “You didn’t eat of these lands, but you drank deeply to quench your thirst.” His lips brush Alec’s ear in a whispered kiss, “you didn’t think I’d really let you go, did you?”

arcane char hcs of how would they kiss the reader (?

a/n: it is 3 am, i have a headache and im having muscle spasms but im gonna write this anyway and wait for the aspirin to kick in <3

warnings: grammar mistakes probalby, nsfwish

characters: jinx, vi, caitlyn, ekko, viktor, jayce, silco, vander

Jinx

🕷 Jinx is very playful with her kisses

🕷 When she goes in for a kiss she'll pull away at the last second just to see your reaction

🕷 Once she gets a reaction, she pulls you into a kiss laughing about how "stupid" you looked

🕷 Probably bites your lip or ear while and after kissing you

🕷 You cannot convince me that Jinx's love language isn't biting

Vi

🕷 this gay mf is so dramatic and for what

🕷 Vi literally kisses you like it's the last time she's gonna see you

🕷 Grabs you by the cheeks and everything

🕷 Her lips are always chapped no matter how many times you may beg her to use chapstick

🕷 Sometimes whispers things while kissing you but most of the time will just enjoy it silently

🕷 Always winks at you after a kiss

Caitlyn

🕷 I can see Caitlyn being kind of polite with her kisses if that makes sense

🕷 Like I feel like she would look for a signal or wait for an 'okay' before she kisses you

🕷 That's mostly only in the beginning though, the longer you two date the more she's inclined to give you random kisses

🕷 Big fan of cheek kisses or side mouth kisses

🕷 If you're ever going out she'll just lean her cheek towards you expectantly

Ekko

🕷 I know yall were waiting for this one

🕷 Although Ekko is extremely caring and kind, he probably keeps a tough exterior out in public so he only kisses you in private

🕷 There are two reasons for this:

🕷 Ekko gets flustered if you kiss him in public making Vi and his friends tease him ENDLESSLY

🕷 As well as the last thing he wants is for someone dangerous in Zaun to spot you two which would make you a target because of Ekko's intelligence and weapons (chronobreak)

🕷 When you two are alone though, I can see him being very affectionate

🕷 Ekko is very sweet with his kisses but also quick

🕷 Probably the type of person who plants multiple kisses on your face at a time

🕷 He's a fan of neck kisses, whether that's gentle, soft kisses or hickeys he doesn't really care

🕷 Likes to hold your hands while kissing

Viktor

🕷 Big on hand and wrist kisses

🕷 Grabs your hand and looks up at you while kissing it, just ugh i love this man

🕷 Viktor always gets a slight tinge of pink on his cheeks after kissing you

🕷 He isn't big on PDA, like at all really, unlike... someone else

🕷 Even though this man does not sleep, has never even heard of chapstick, and only consumes coffee his lips are always soft

🕷 Whenever he kisses you, he places a hand on the side of your neck

🕷 His kisses are pretty gentle and tender unless he's pissed off about something, then they're usually more rough and quick

Jayce

🕷 His kisses are rough and passionate

🕷 To be honest, I don't think Jayce has ever shared a gentle kiss with someone

🕷 He just isn't really that type of person, he's very passionate when it coms to love

🕷 which sometimes is probably a little overwhelming lmao

🕷 A lot of the time, Jayce will kiss when he pleases but there's also a side to him that enjoys the privacy

🕷 Likes to grab you by your waist and lift your chin up before kissing you

🕷 You can always feel his five o'clock shadow gently graze against your face but it's something you've grown to love

🕷 Jayce carries around chapstick with him so his lips are never chapped

Silco

🕷 Do not expect or give him kisses in public

🕷 This man would deadass PUSH you away

🕷 When you two are alone in his office it's entirely different story though

🕷 He has you propped up on his desk, his hands inside your shirt, your legs wrapped around him, his lips on yours

🕷 You're usually out of breath by the time he pulls away and still haven't caught it when he kisses you again

🕷 Will either praise you or degrade you while kissing, it depends on his mood

Vander

🕷 They're so domestic and loving

🕷 Even if it's your first kiss, he'll kiss you like you two have been married for 50 years

🕷 Pushes your hair behind your ear and away from your face before kissing you

🕷 Forehead kisses while you're napping, when you two are hugging, sometimes he'll just lean down kiss your forehead bringing you close to his chest

🕷 Put your hands on his chest NOW
