#and holy crap it makes me wanna play this game

[doodledrawsthings]

you. Oh my god, you. (Positive)

listen. Before I had internet access, all I had was 1 hour of allotted browser time, bing image search, and a single dantdm play through of a hat in time that never got finished. I googled fanart and got pretty much nothing, I googled fancomics and got pretty much nothing, but you know what I did end up finding?

your art.

from ages 11-14, my goal in life, in art, was your art. I can’t tell you how much I loved finding random screenshots of your posts, because I was always just so impressed by how clean and consistent your sketches are, how the characters always stay on model, the shape language, how you could somehow sketch a character in like 20 lines when it took me 50 to draw sans in my little spiral notebook— like! Holy shit! For years I have looked up to your art! There’s still a photos folder on my dads old huge-ass 12 inch work iPad labeled “holy crap” and filled with your art. Because it inspired me so much. It’s become an undeniable part of my artstyle, now — I still have fanart I drew way back in the day of Hattie and the rest, I didn’t even know anyone’s names because I couldn’t play the game, but you’re the reason I eventually did play the game. Your coffee shop au and different versions of the prince— one of those ieterations inspired the main character of my novel! Well, novel that I tried to write, I was 13 so it was eh, but I tried!!

I’m submitting this on-anon because I don’t want to out my age on the wide internet (I like my privacy) but. Your art has really meant a lot to me. It’s the reason I played hollow knight, and it’s the reason I kept trying to develop an art style I was happy with. You’re the reason I started scribbling comics in my notebooks. Being 13-14 was pretty much the worst two years of my life, but I had Bing image search and the occasional glimpse of your signature, and I’d be so happy every time I found a new (if crusty) three-times screenshotted jpg. You literally introduced me to the concept of polyamory and nonbinary-ness with the coffee shop au. I had no other access to that in my household, and. Yeah. It meant a lot to me.

Anyway. I’m so glad I’ve finally tracked you down (in the most non-ominous way possible) and I’m so glad you’re still active— Please never stop making art. Your art is incredible, and amazing, and also you never know who’s out there on Bing image search. Thank you for creating for as long as you have. You’re pretty much the reason I’m shooting for an art degree (Wish me luck!) so just…Thank you.

(Also I had no idea you were a professional storyboarder, which is insane because that’s what I want to be when I’m through college. Hey, maybe I’ll end up storyboarding a remake of something you’ve storyboarded! hehehe)

Hi anon!

So right off the bat, I gotta tell you that this message made me start bawling when I woke up and saw it. Like I had a full-on cry session while reading your message and lying in bed for almost an hour. I am crying as I am typing this response, on my phone, still in bed. It’s 11am and i woke up at 9. So I hope it turns out coherent.

The last two years have been. weird. I say that a lot because I wanna say “rough” but that still doesn’t feel quite right. I’m almost hyper-aware that there are so many people that have it worse than me rn, so it feels hard to even acknowledge when I’m going through anything, myself, sometimes- REGARDLESS, it’s been kind of an all-time low for my mental health. There was a point within in the last year where I just HATED drawing. I struggled to bring myself to work, I struggled to bring myself to even draw for fun. It felt like I was posting just to post, trying to keep people aware of my existence and it almost felt physically painful to force myself to sit down and do it, sometimes.

I’m getting better now, I think, but. Yknow.

It’s so easy to get caught up in the “oh I can make money off this,” “oh I can get attention off this,” “oh I can prove myself a functional person in society with this,” of it all. I forget why I actually do this, sometimes, or if I even enjoy it. And then I get messages like yours, about the kid with limited internet access looking for A Hat in Time fan art on Bing image search, and I get taken back to when I was a kid scrolling Google images and deviantart for the same thing.

I don’t mean to like. Foster some kind of parasocial thing with you or any one of my followers. There’s a reason I’m saying all this, I hope it ties up in the end.

We don’t know each other. I’m not some mysterious legendary artist, or whatever. I’m a person who gets burnt out, and jealous, and insecure. I need inspiration to function, just like you, and when I don’t have it, I get art block. But I also really like to draw fictional characters kissing and hanging out. I like coming up with comics and stories and playing out dramatic and funny scenarios in my head like I’m mashing Barbies together. And when other people tell me they enjoy the stuff I put out when I do this, it makes me really, really, really happy.

I think I needed to read your message, probably. With the state of… Everything… Right now, especially recently, I feel like a lot of artists are also struggling with a sense of purpose, pride, and reason as the world makes it harder and harder to even BE an artist, these days. And when I read this message it was like Anton Ego at the end of Ratatouille, I got taken back to when I was a kid looking at my favorite artists and studying their style and striving to be better and better at it over years of my life. Not just because I wanted a job for it or cuz I wanted to be a famous Disney animator or whatever, but because it was fun and I just liked doing it.

Thank you, SO much. I say this in the most genuine and earnest way I possibly can possibly express. I wish you luck on your own path in art and art school. And if you decide that animation industry is your thing, then I wish you the best in that endeavor, as well. I think I will keep making art for a long time.

Peace and love on the planet earth ✌️✌️✌️

Playing in the Attic

Kenton:

Chris and I are cousins (the youngest in the family), our whole family is gettin together this weekend at my Uncle Al’s house for his big birthday celebration. I was so excited to see Chris that I talked my dad into letting me come stay with them a night early. Al (my dad’s older brother) is Chris’s dad and when I got there I was surprised to see that my other uncle Tim (my dad’s younger brother) came to stay early as well.

Chris and I were having a good time catchin up but then Chris brought up how his dad never lets him go into the attic.

So curious me, talked Chris into going upstairs. We waited until we knew Uncle Tim and Al were too busy to notice that we snuck upstairs.

Both of us sneaked our way up and opened the door. We quietly shut it behind us and giggled out of excitement to see what’s upstairs.

Once the door was shut, we found a light to turn on. And both of us were surprised to only find one small box.

“What the heck? What do you thinks in it?” I said to Chris.

“I don’t know, should we open it?”

I gave him a mischievous grin and said, “we made it this far!”

I walked over and carefully took the lid off. Inside was an old lookin statue.

“Booo!!! That’s not exciting at all!”

I grab it and show it Chris and immediately felt strange. Chris touches it as well.

And that’s when things got crazy!!!!

One second we’re upstairs. And the next the second I’m in his living room looking at Uncle Tim.

I look down and notice my tummy is huge! So arms and my feet!!!

I wiggle my toes just to make it’s not a dream.

I look over at Uncle Tim and he looks just as confused as me!

“Uncle Tim?”

Uhhh no…. Dad?”

“Nope!,” I say back to him.

That’s when I start to put some of the pieces together.

I get up and go to the closet mirror I could find. That’s where i see my Uncle Al staring back at me!

“Holy crap!!!,” I say out loud giggling.

I turn over to Uncle Tim, “it’s me Kenton!”

“Kenton!!! I’m Chris or I guess—“ Chris looks at his new reflection seeing Tim’s face looking back.

“IM UNCLE TIM!!!”

We both grin excited about our new discovery.

“Wait a minute what about our bodies?!?”

We both dash up to the attic and see both of our bodies lying on the ground.

“Wow! That’s freaky!”

“So where is my dad and Tim if they aren’t us?”

“I don’t know maybe they’re still in here with us but we’re in control?”

“Freaky!!”

“Here grab your body and I’ll grab mine. Just don’t touch that status.”

“Haha okay!”

We both carefully pick ourselves up and it’s so funny carrying myself. I’m so light with Uncle Al’s big arms.

We place our bodies in bed and head back downstairs.

That night was the most phone I think I’ve had in a long time!!

Chris and I went out on the town. We went shopping, I bought Uncle Al a couple of things I thought he’d look cool in. I also got Chris all of the video games he’s wanted the last of couple months since I’m now his dad.

After we got dinner and I tries sushi for the first time. I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about it but Chris and Al eat here all of the time. Even the waiter knew Uncle Al’s order.

I didn’t want to make it weird so when he asked me if I’m going to have ‘my usual’ I said sure!

It was actually pretty good!

That night Chris and I got into some bathing suits and went into the hot tub together. We even both had a couple of beers which I kinda liked as well.

By 3 am both of were so tired, Chris and I went upstairs to bed. We both tugged off our clothes and was surprised that Chris got completely naked in Tim’s body.

I looked at him from head to toe, covered in hair— I pull off Uncle Al’s bathing suit and his junk came flying out.

“Kenton!! I don’t wanna see all of my dad!!”

“Well you started it!”

Chris and I laid in bed together. I couldn’t help but stare at both of our naked bodies. I kinda liked the way we looked.

I looked at Al’s big feet and rubbed them against Tim’s big feet.

Chris gave me a look and I said, “what??? These big feet are cold! I was hopin I could warm them up with yours.”

“Ugh fine!”

We wrapped our new big feet together. And I felt a rush go through me. I looked at his hairy belly, I wanna run my fingers through it but I stopped myself.

“You ready to go to bed?”

“Yeah I’m sleepy!”

The next morning I wake up and looked down at myself. I’m still uncle Al, I look over and Chris in Uncle Tim’s body still sleeping.

I pull back the covers and look at Al’s junk. I get a little handsy and start playing with it.

I try to slow myself down but it feels sooo good.

I watch my uncles big hands go back and forth. I rub his big feet together and rub my other hand up and down his hairy chest.

I tug faster and faster about 15 minutes until I make a mess everywhere!

Chris wakes up and doesn’t seem to notice the mess I just made.

He grins at me with half open eyes and says good morning. He gets up and heads to the bathroom. I guess he had to go real bad.

I get up as well and I pass the other room. I can hear Chris, he’s making a lot of noise in there.

I carefully crack the door open and see he’s standing in the shower tugging away at Tim’s junk!

I back away from the door and let him finish up.

Today’s the day everyone is coming over so I knew our fun had to end.

Chris walks out and I tell him we should probably get dressed and try to figure out the statue.

After we get ready both of us head back upstairs. I look at the statue and without much of a plan I say to him, “I guess let’s just grab it?”

We grab it and the same time. I feel kinda funny again but nothing happens!

“Well… that’s not good,” he says to me.

We both go back downstairs…

That’s when we hear voices coming from Chris’s room… it’s our voices!

2 months later…

So… turns out that when we touched that statue that just put Uncle Al and Tim right into our bodies.

We were in sooo much trouble! Especially when we found out that we couldn’t switch back to our bodies for an entire year!

Soo now im uncle Al for a very long time and Chris is gonna be Tim for a while as well.

But it’s all good, neither Al or Tim are mad at us anymore. No one in our family knows about it outside of us. So Tim lives full time with me in Chris’s body.

And the best part is Chris comes over every weekend! And we still get have a lot of fun even if Uncle Tim gets annoyed with us. Who cares! We’re the ones in charge now!

Monkeys responses to this conversation:

(Y/n): I can take you in full demon mode. 😌

Monkey: You're not beating me in a fight while in full demon mode. 🤨

(Y/n): I didn't mean a fight. 😏

Monkey: ...*processing* .........*realization*...Oh. 😳

SHOUT OUT TO @szynkaaa 🥳🤯😳

(Lmk Wukong) Ohhhhhhhhhh his brain crashed with a Deep blush on his face, like he was not expecting this. He would be making a bunch of jumbled nonsensical excuses, as his mind races way faster then it ever did. He's embarrassed and turned on and he blames you😣

(HIB Wukong) His face and whole body was red like, holy crap you had to be messing with him. Then again you always were a little bit freaky especially when you first met him, and would chirp and cat called him from a distance. So he guess you were always freaky but never like this he's scaroused now😦

(NR Wukong) He was down bad and blushing hard, with both heart eyes and drooling a lot. You always know what button to push every time, so you wanna play that game?? Bring it onnnnnnn🤤

(MKR Wukong) JAW DROPPED😲 He is malfunctioning so much and so bad, like you can differently hear buffering sounds from him. His face was red and shocked at your words and wonders what else you would try on him, and why does he feel it's gonna involve a lot of rope?😳

(Netflix Wukong) He has a huge blush but also has a look of fear on him, too. Seriously, you had said some pretty other there stuff before, especially when flirting with him, but this was different😳 he would giggle and mumble nervously as he followed you to the bedroom.

(BMW Wukong) He had a light blush, and for once, he was speechless. At first, he was confused, like why would you fight him in that state, i mean, you do have your own, but for God's sake. Then he realized just exactly what you mean, now he's excited, blushing, and actually frightened by your declaration.

(Destined one)....................😳😳😳😳😳😳 he may have passed out from what your said. He had to sit and drink ice water to calm down the blush from the other incredibly dirty thoughts he was currently having. Your confidence and blunt lust was doing things to him, and he doesn't know if he likes it.

Teasing sadist 3.0 Shu? 👀 Perhaps NSFW? I just want you to go nuts with your imagination pls.

Sadistically Attractive, With Shu Yamino

Warning !

Nsfw ; Sadist! Shu 3.0 ; Afab! Reader ; Shu teases you for 'fun' ; The use of Shibari, Sorcery, the rest is a surprise ; Established Relationship

Minors DNI — Proceed at your own risk !

A/n !

God,

thank you for the opportunity, for hearing me out, because goodness gracious his 3.0 is holding me on chokehold.

Not to mention the tweet you share? Omg. Those biceps? Holy crap.

➶◜◝➴

He is pretending to be seiso.

I know he know nsfw stuff, he is just hiding it. You at the other hand, will try to find out how to awaken that hidden side of him.

Just recently he got a new haircut, it totally took you by surprise since you are used to him having a long hair, but the new hairstyle suits him well. The messy hairstyle he got, his bangs? Gosh.

And just yesterday you decided to go shopping for new fit for him, and again it suits him so good, he choose to wear a turtleneck though. Don't you wonder why he decided to wear such clothing?

Now that you think about it, his clothing mostly covers his neck—

Perhaps, his neck is his one of his weaknesses? You pondered, and now here you are in the living room of your shared humble abode. Thinking about what to do, there are numerous scenarios made in your head as you tried to figure out his hidden side.

Numerous time you also have tried to get that hidden side of him out, yet you failed miserably. He somehow always manage to escape so smoothly, as if he could see through your plans, and he perfectly evades the idea.

While you're thinking about what to do, Shu suddenly appeared from the corner of your eyes, walking to the kitchen. Seemingly to grab some food or something, he then noticed you sitting on the couch frowning.

"Babe? What's wrong?" He asked, making you snapped back to reality. You look to where he is, and shook your head slightly, "Nothing, I was, just. Thinking something silly that's all." You responded, he hummed softly, you look back at him as he is going around the kitchen gathering some, stuff. "You're still streaming?" You asked him, he stopped for a moment, he glanced over at you. "Yeah, I was planning to grind on some games though, wanna come and see?" He offered.

. . .

Here you are now, in his streaming room, there is a couch in the room, so you decided to make yourself comfortable there while he displayed the game he's playing on the TV across you.

You don't remember how long has it been, but he had been sitting there for literal hours, and you can no longer sit down on the couch comfortably.

So you just decided to go to him, pulling his chair back a bit to make some space for you to slip onto his lap. He at first was confused on why did you suddenly pull his gaming chair away, but the moment he realizes you tried to sit on his lap he fixed his position and let you sit down on his lap whilst he's playing.

"Got bored already? Sorry, just a little bit more and I'm done—" He apologized, you can feel his body shook slightly as he let out a soft chuckle. You can feel his hand on your lower back, while the other is on the keyboard.

Feeling feisty, you decided to kiss his neck. That caught him by surprise, he jolted slightly under you. "Babe— don't do that" He whispered to you, but you didn't listen and continue your onslaught on his neck. You can hear his breath hitched as you do, soon you heard him stop typing on the keyboard and he pushed himself away from the table, making the chair he's sitting on go backwards a bit.

"What's up with you?" He asked as he gently push you away, trying to see your face. Once he see you pouting, he could only smile apologetically. "Is it because I played too much?— I'm sorry babe.." He apologies once more, his hand, on your hips.

His thumb graze along the lines of your waist, his purple eyes softly staring at you. "You know, I noticed what you've been trying to do" he whispered, his thumb still rubbing against your skin. His violet eyes goes down to your neck, down further before he blinked and his eyes stared back into yours.

"Why are you so, eager to know about this, hidden side of me you're thinking of?" He asked, there is a glint of curiosity in his eyes as he waits for your response. "It seems impossible for someone like you to be, innocent, you know?" He blinked, once, twice. Before he let out a small laugh and pulled you closer to him.

Burying his face at the crook of your neck, he planted a gentle kiss.

"Do you really want to know?"

"...Yes"

. . .

On the bed, only in your undergarments. Tied up prettily with purple ropes, that is hugging your torso and your arms, from one knot to another. And then there's your beloved sorcerer still sitting by the gaming chair, legs crossed, chin resting on his palm as he watches his shikigamis glide around your body, tying you up.

"Are you alright? Is it too tight?" He asked as he finally got up from the chair and approached you on the bed, sitting on the edge of the bed, his hand reached out to the ropes. Gently glazing his finger along the ropes, "Tell me if it's too tight." He whispered. You stared at him and shook your head, "It's, not too tight, I'm okay" Though your hands are tied behind you, you couldn't do much about it.

"Okay" he then planted a gentle kiss on your temple, "You remember the safe word we discussed a moment ago?" "Of course I do." He chuckled at your response. He shuffled a bit, his hand reached out to something behind you. After a moment he finally spoke—

"Lay down for me." You hesitantly laid down on the bed, only for you to realize he put some pillows behind you so you wouldn't lay down on a weird position. "Is it good? Do you need me to readjust the pillows?" You shifted a bit and look at him, "No, ..this is perfect"

He smiled at you and looked over by the tv that' stkll have his game on display, he let out a small sigh before looking back at you. "Well then, shall we start?"

. . .

Your eyes are covered, your other senses are heightened because of it. You are not able to see what your beloved going to do to you, you are left in the dark.

When you're just about to call out to him you suddenly felt something cold touching your skin, making you whimper upon the sudden sensation. "That' so cold— what is tha— ah—!" And then you felt something hot, "Shu—" you shifted on the bed, trying to evade whatever the thing that touches you. "Yes?" He responded, he sounded so innocent after what happened.

"Too much?" He asked and chuckled, you then felt his hand pressed down on your stomach. Not letting you move anywhere, "Stop squirming." As he said so you felt something hot touching your neck, trailing down to your chest.

It was his finger.

His finger moved from one place to another meanwhile the other hand that's pressing down on you suddenly grew colder. Making you whine, "Cold— too cold— hnn.." You unconsciously tried to close your legs, but the moment you try to do so, you are only getting blocked by Shu's body.

You felt the bed shifted slightly to your side, and then the next thing you knew you felt Shu's breathing right next to your ear. He planted a kiss on your earlobe, he then nibble on them as his hand that was previously on your stomach now going up your chest. Pinching down your nipples with the coldness of his finger tips, "sHuU!— NngG—!" Your voice cracked as his name escaped your lips.

You only heard a low hum from him, his lips trailed down from your ear, to your jawline, down further to your neck, and stopped right on your collarbone. Now both of his hands are playing with your nipples, pinching them every now and then.

"I'm here." He whispered as he continue his onslaught, his lips trailing down further to your chest, dangerously close to your nipples. "PleASeE!— aH— Mmm.." You felt his tongue licking your nipple, sucking on them even, making your body arched to him. Your hands desperately tried to escape the ropes, trying to hold his head still.

God, it felt so good.

The way he sucked and licked on your nipple drives you insane, but lord have mercy, he just refuses to touch your lower half. You're soaked, just from him playing with your nipples, and it got worse when you felt his mouth wrapped around one of them.

Not long after that, his teeth pulled on them, making you immediately let out a screech at the slight pain. Shu let go of your nipple and chuckled, "Whoops" He doesn't sound sorry at all.

His hand is now making their way down to your thigh, giving them a gentle squeeze before moving his hand into your inner thigh. Moving upwards oh so slowly, approaching your leaking core. "So wet, and I haven't even done much" he whispered, "Or is it already too much?" He added.

His violet eyes fluttered up, making eye contact with you. "Tell me, what is it that you want, hm?" His words tried to encourage you to say what you crave, want, need. But your voice refuses to get out, it's stuck on your throat.

"Well, if you don't tell me what you want, I won't be able to know what it is." He shrugged and moved his hand away, just gently playing with your thighs, giving them a squeeze every now and then. Waiting for your response, "So, tell me.." his hand goes further away, eventually holding your ankle, slowly rising them up to his lips.

"What is it that you desire?" He whispered as his eyes flutter close, his lips leaving a trail of kisses, from your ankle, further down. Till his lips reached to your inner thighs once more. "Want you, ...Hn— please?—" You pleaded, your hips moved, trying to make your leaking core feel a friction you've been craving. Desperate, trying to reach your high.

"Please— Shu— touch me, anything— I want to cum—" You whined, hips humping on air, making the Raven haired male held you down by the waist, "Mhm?" He simply hummed at your needy self. Not even bothered to help you, he just continue kissing your inner thigh, his lips moved even closer to your core, close but also not close.

"You want to cum?" Shu repeated as he let out a chuckle, goodness gracious this man. He just kept going in circles, making your head dizzy with his teases. "Please, please please please— I want to cum— shuu..." You pleaded again, and again, and again. You couldn't see his face, you don't know what face he's making as he heard your endless pleas.

You heard the sheets shuffling near you, and then you felt Shu's hand on your neck, rubbing his thumb oh so gently, and softly presses down on your pulse, your heart beating so fast, you bet he could feel it under his touch. "Your heart, they're beating so fast.. Are you nervous? ...or instead, are you excited?" He asked he then planted a kiss at the corner of your lips—

"You want to cum, right?" He added, you nod your head. And the next thing you knew his fingers finally brushed against your clit, his finger moved slowly at first, your body twitched here and there at the sensation. Your body temperature slowly rising up, your whimpers and whines getting louder as you reach your high. "I'm close I'm close—" you informed the sorcerer, and the moved his fingers faster than before.

Making your body jolted, you grabbed onto whatever that's close to you, and one of them is Shu's arms. "Cum." He said, as he moved his fingers. And after he said so, you came, and he stopped. Shu slowly took off your blindfold, it took a moment for you to adjust with the sudden brightness. Once your eyes have adjusted with it, you look at Shu, who' smiling at you. "You're doing so well" he said as you felt his hand on your thighs, giving them a gentle squeeze.

"Mm.. Thank you.." And just when you thought you're done, Shu's finger once again glazed on your sensitive clit, earning a whine from you. "Nngg—... W, wait—.."

"We're nowhere near done, This is only the beginning.

You're asking for this, be prepared."

I'm leaving the rest to your imagination 🙏🏻

This is sitting in my draft longer than anticipated, the last request might take awhile because—

My brain refuses to work. 💔

[harumasa-wifey]

Heard you wanted to talk about Asaba Harumasa, here I am! He's my second favorite character in the game after Billy Kid and I already have some nice headcanons for him, such as him and Corin being childhood friends because they were both in the same hospital (remember Corin had a critical illness that needed a deadly surgery which you can see that she still has the scar in her Mindscape) so I see him as her adopted big brother who gave her her teddy bear. I also headcanon that he takes as much as leaves and sick days as possible just to be able to keep up with his treatments and hospitalisations that probably takes up a lot of his time, I could see him having lived in the hospital for as long as he can remember. One canon fact that I know thanks to one of Yanagi's trust event is that he is the only one who can sing well (apparently) when Section 6 and Section 5 meet up for karaoke, as Soukaku only knows oni songs which aren't in the playlists and Miyabi doesn't know any songs of this era, and Yanagi is a terrible singer, so for that I do hope that we'll see his VA sing a song in one of his character videos that we'll probably get this week since he and Miyabi are coming next week. Also while Yanagi is labeled as the normal one in the group, actually it would be Harumasa, since he is just very lazy and carefree but he is actually more down to earth compared to her, as she seems to have perfect memory and gets work done so well that even a robot would have trouble keeping up with her. I like to headcanon him and Miyabi as the disaster twins for constantly trying to shirk off work and constantly cover one another and help one another and have meetings about how to dodge their responsabilities in the office more often. Harumasa gives her ideas in how to skip section heads meetings and Miyabi is fine with him taking his sick leaves and doing his best at not getting any overtime, they get each other so well on that. XD

Oh please he is my favourite character now! I dropped playing the game on the first version because it got tiresome to me BUT when I saw leaks of him in the new quest (event special) I knew i needed this man now i don't have a single 5 in the game he will be my first and last i am definitely pulling for him don't matter if I get him free his w- engine LITERALLY CONTAINS MEDICINE he makes me wanna cry why did they do this to my man. I thought he was just a little silly guess he is more than that. I DID NOT KNOW THAT ABOUT CORIN I LITERALLY MAIN HER WTF guess i need to more deep search thank you for the info tho AND BIG BROTHER HARU THAT GUY IS A SOFTIE. He Gotta keep with all those medical reports and medicine literally he was a child i am not sure if they experimented on him or it was an accident but oh boy if they experimented on him hoyo is up for some serious talk. I REALLY WANNA HEAR HIM SING NOW. Gotta manifest his va singing fr. Yanagi is extraordinary to me she is literally so smart and holy crap she memorized that whole manual in such a short time yep she is anything but normal. While soukaku is busy thinking about snacks and miyabi and harumasa finding new ways to skip work yanagi almost manages everything including their leaves which oh boy it sounds tiresome yet she looks balanced doing all that shit. I love my lazy and carefree boy he could have been more normal if all that didn't happen. I genuinely didn't see this coming it broke my heart seeing his child self wrapped in all those endless wires and kept in confinement. The disaster partners!! Yess! Can definitely imagine them skipping meetings and paper work the only paper miyabi needs signed is her will by her gf (yanagi) it almost as anytime yanagi does something fascinating she has her will paper out with a pen "sgin this (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)" like calm down girl y'all can get this signed in your marriage. Like i just finished the special mission and oh boy i wanna kiss harumasa so bad i typed his name so many times even my keyboard knows it now 😭. HIS LITTLE BANGBOO IS SOOO CUTE I WANNA HOLD HIM SO BADD. Thank you so much for indulging me in this i wanted to talk about it so badly.

Played Class of 09 Flip Side last week...man, that sucked

I was honestly given high hopes for The Flip Side, and since my Class of 09 drawing that I made for Flip side is getting a lot of likes, I figured I'd make a post reviewing the game.

Pros:

The voice acting was incredible. Kayli Mills really gave her all in the therapy scenes, I actually felt heartbroken for her.

The FYE route was good up until the end...I'll talk about that in a bit.

The 7 seconds part was pretty funny.

Trody is still best boi

Emo Jecka

The Hatman

The Nicole Suicide route was one of the biggest requests for the Flip Side, and at least he listened to the fans on that. It was even more awfully crushing when seen from Jecka's perspective.

That's about all the good. Now the bad:

The foot stuff. That was like, a third of the game, and it was barely even funny the first time. If they were gonna do something like this, the least they could have done was not show the actual foot stuff taking place. In The Re-up, they didn't show Nicole having sex with men as a MySpace escort, and it honestly made the point even better (I'll talk more about this later). It's pretty obvious that SBN3 was just putting his fetish in to spite people.

The Dad was just tiring. I mean, his character was a good depiction of an abuser, but the joke honestly just got boring. It's like SBN3 saw how popular the "I WANNA FUCKING KILL MY WIFE" scene was, and decided to make that joke an entire character.

The jokes just felt off. The edginess was there, but it was all edge, no point. The "Flip a coin" scene was funny, as was the "7 seconds" scene and some others, but it kinda felt like SBN3 just got burnt out, or he fired his ghostwriter (I don't doubt that he wrote the game, but I'm pretty sure he had some help with some of the jokes).

The FYE Route had a bizarre-ass ending after all that good buildup.

Crispin did nothing but get insulted the whole game, even when he tried to help Jecka.

Mr. Katz became a pedophile because SBN3 didn't like the fact that Reddit liked him. He was one of the only male teachers who wasn't a pedophile, he was just a crackhead. But they had to massacre his character too.

The characters felt kinda...out of character. Nicole HATES men, like absolutely DESPISES them. She engages with men to manipulate them, and she only engaged in sexual acts with men when she was homeless, on drugs, and had literally no other options. She would never willingly try to have sex with a 50 year old man.

Also, she didn't get mad at Jecka for refusing to let her stay at her house when she was homeless, and she didn't get mad when Jecka refused to help her get revenge on Megan, or sell crack, or do some of the other stuff. But you're telling me she's gonna engage in sexual acts with her father because...Jecka didn't cut Nicole in on one of her jobs?! People may point to the Megan route in The Re-up, but Megan was a bitch to her for most of their interactions, whereas Jecka was Nicole's only real friend. Plus, she just asked Hunter for dick pics, she didn't actually try to have sex with him like she did with Jecka's dad.

To add on to this: The FYE Route had like, the weirdest and worst ending: Being sex trafficked by the Taliban. The other games were believable, even if the White Supremacist ending was kinda exaggerated. But holy crap, this made no sense.

Nicole gets kicked out by her mom and has to resort to selling her body? It's pretty fucked up, but it's really happened to people. Jecka finds out that FYE has a massive illegal porn stash they use to keep men in control, and gets sold to the Taliban as a sex slave to keep her quiet? It makes zero sense.

To add on to the last two things: The endings were not good. They were:

Jeffery OD's and Jecka becomes more toxic as a result of relying on Nicole

Nicole has "foot-sex" with Jecka's dad, and Jecka kills herself

Jecka drunk-drives and kills Ari

Nicole commits suicide, leaving Jecka all alone

Jecka gets sold to the Taliban, and Kelly fucking dies.

I mean seriously. Even the past two games had SOME good endings: Nicole becomes a YouTuber, Nicole becomes Valedictorian, Nicole graduates and becomes a better person, Nicole exposes a racist teacher...this game just felt like torture porn of Jecka.

I swear to God this anime better get picked up by Prime or Netflix or something like that, cuz I'll be damned if the series dies like this.

No More Games!

- A/N: you guys are absolutely amazing! Holy crap, so much support with the red velvet smuts. Hope you guys enjoy all the other upcoming smuts as well!

Twice Chaeyoung x Male Reader

A little quick smut⚠️ and a little fluff.

(Chaeyoung’s POV)

“Aaargh! I keep dying! Why are my teammates so useless!” Was all I could hear from my boyfriend Y/n, as he plays his computer game while I try to watch my show.

“Help me! Ugh why are you camping?!” He yelled out loud. I love him so much, but every time when he plays his games, he can get really annoying. He’d be constantly raging all the time he’d die in a game, trash talk players, and other things that gamers do.

“Baby, can you please quiet down? I’m trying to watch my show.” Hopefully that’ll calm him down and keep quiet.

He looks back at me and nodded. “Yeah, I’m sorry baby.” He goes back to his game, it was nice and quiet… at least for a few minutes. “Plant the bomb! We’re gonna lose!” Yep, again with the rage.

“Baby please! Keep it down.” I was getting more annoyed at him yelling at the game. Like I said, I love him, but he’s really becoming a pain in the ass. He turns to me, knowing I was getting annoyed at him, looks at me apologetically.

“I’m sorry, I’ll be quiet.” He gives me a soft smile, knowing how much I love it when he does that. I calm down a little and smile back.

“Thank you.” I say before he goes back to his game. Ahh, I can finally watch my show… or so I thought. Only about 15 minutes of silence, another rage from Y/n made my blood boil. I sit up and get up as I walk over to him. “Off the game, now!” I was now on my breaking point. He looks up at me and gulps.

“B-But baby I can’t leave this game-.” I cut him off before he could finish his sentence. I need to let him know I had enough with his yelling while playing games.

“Uh uh, I don’t care. I’ve told you so many times, but you don’t listen, so turn it off now!” I tell him off, loud enough for his teammates to hear.

“Ouuu someone’s in trouble.”

“Rest in peace, I’ve been there before.” I hear from his teammates. Y/n sighed before leaving the game, going back into the main menu then take off his headset.

“Why are you so hot headed when you play these games?”

“I’m sorry baby but I can’t help it. It’s just sometimes my teammates can be really annoying.” He says and looks up at me while pulling me close, placing soft kisses on my exposed stomach. I love the feeling when he does that but I was still mad at him.

“Well, I don’t care if your teammates annoy you, but I don’t wanna hear you yelling out while I’m trying to watch my show.” I tell him off and he nods as he looks at me. “You know what, I’ll just calm you down myself, shut you up for once.” I start to lift my hands up to my hair and tie it up into a messy ponytail. He watches me and swallows a huge amount of his saliva.

“B-Baby, what are you doing?” He sits back a little and grips the chair. I see him start to grow through his shorts, knowing he was already liking this.

“Just shut up and sit back.” I tell him which he shut his mouth, not saying another word. He sits back on his gaming chair and once I was done with my hair, I spread his legs and get down onto my knees, looking deep into his eyes. “Mmm what a good boy you are.” I smirked and grab onto his hard on which was covered by his shorts. I tease him a little just by rubbing and grabbing onto it. He lets out a soft moan as he tried to keep quiet like I told him to.

“Now, I don’t want to hear another word from you okay? Just let your girl do her job and calm down the beast.” I giggled, teasing him more before grabbing the waistband of his shorts and underwear, slowly pulling them down making his cock spring out. I bite me lip as I grab onto his shaft and felt him move a little and grip the chair harder.

We both give each other eye contact, I smile and whine as I stroke him, up and down slowly. His soft moans tell me he wanted more, but I won’t give it to him just yet. I give his tip a teasing lick, swirling my tongue around it while watching him squirm and try not to moan out loud. I see a little precum start to drip down his shaft grip his tip, stroking him more while placing my mouth on his tip. I suck on it a little while stroking his throbbing rod. I see his hand trying to place itself on my head but he stops himself. I smile and take his head out of my mouth.

“You like that don’t you?” He nods. “Would you like to put your hand on my head while I calm you down?” He nods again without saying a word. “Words baby.” I tell him and smirk as I stroke him more and more.

He moans a little louder and nods. “Y-yes I do. P-please.” He begged as I slap his tip onto my tongue. “F-Fuck please baby!” He begged some more.

“Since you’re being good, then I’ll allow you.” I tell him and with that, he grabs onto my ponytail, making me take his length into my mouth. I can tell how much he was loving this, how much he was in so much need for more.

“Ahh fuck, your mouth feels so good baby.” He moans out lewdly. I take him deeper into my mouth, feeling his tip hit the back of my throat. I hold my position then start to gag a little and pull away for air. I smile then go back for seconds, wetting his shaft some more with my saliva as I keep taking his cock. I pull away and spit on his cock then stroke him.

“Are you gonna keep yelling while you play your games?” I asked him and smirk as I played with his balls a little making his head lean back in pleasure, feeling the grip on my hair tighten.

“N-no, I-I promise to keep it down next time.” I can tell he was getting closer, but I don’t plan on stopping now. As I was satisfied with his answer, I thought it’ll be better to satisfy him as well.

God I love this man, I’m glad his mine and only mine. I felt like the luckiest girl in the world. No one else can have him except me.

I take him deeper and deeper into my mouth, inch by inch until my nose reaches his crotch. Fuck, I’ve never done this before, but I’d happily do it again. I pull away and wink at him as he watches my every move, moaning out my name, telling me how good I am, telling me how lucky he is to be my man. Fuck he was just so sexy. I continue to deepthroat him some more making a mess on his cock as our eyes don’t break away from each other.

“You like how your baby takes your big fucking cock into my mouth and hit the back of my throat?” I asked him seductively. He was also loving my dirty talk. He nods and guided my head down his shaft.

“I-I fucking love it baby. K-keep going, I’m so c-close.” He bites his lip, loving the feeling of me taking him into my mouth.

“Mmm you like that daddy?” I teased. “Well daddy should make it up to me and give me every drop of his cum down my throat.” My dirty talk was making him go even more crazy with lust. Oh yeah, Y/n also loved the whole daddy kink, I mean I do as well because I love the look on his face and I also love to tease him whenever I get the chance.

(Third-Person POV)

Y/n was loving the sensation he was feeling from Chaeyoung’s warm mouth.

“F-Fuck Chae! Baby, y-you’re gonna make me cum!” He moans out, looking down at her as he watches his cock disappeared into her mouth.

“Then… f-fucking… c-cum.” She says as she slobbered over his cock. She starts to massage his balls as she blows him, wanting to get a taste of him. She kept up the work and felt him getting closer and closer to his climax. “G-gimme it all daddy!” She moaned with a mouthful of his cock. Those words were game over for Y/n as he lifts his hips up, sliding his cock in deeper into her throat. He then shoots his load inside.

“F-Fuck baby t-take it all… s-swallow it!” He moans as he watches her. Chaeyoung struggles to swallow his load a little but eventually got it all without leaving a drop. She gags on his rod a little then pulls away and smiles as she cleaned him up with her mouth then wipe her mouth.

She gets up and gets on his lap, kissing him deeply and passionately. “Did my baby like that?” She asked him after pulling away, giving him a big smile.

“I loved it.” He smiles back and kisses me again. “And I love you.” Those words fill her heart with joy.

“I love you too baby boy.” She smiled and wrap her arms around his neck and looked into his eyes. It was a few seconds of silence until she spoke up “and baby?”

“Yeah?”

“No more games for the week.” She smirked.

“Wait what?! Why?!”

His eyes widened and the for the whole week, there were no more games except, making love and watching shows together, oh and of course the yummy food that Y/n would cook for the both of them. Chaeyoung really loved this Y/n better but let him return to play games, but she wanted to play with him which made him really happy as he always wanted to play with her, as it was one of his goals. He was more than happy to teach her how to play all the games he would play, in return to do all the things she would love to do with him.

The End!

Hope you guys enjoyed! Again, the support is crazy and I’d never thought a newbie would make it to where I am now. 😊

Timebomb Metro AU?

(AU created by me and buddy Jay-strun)

So me and my buddy (name found above) got a lil silly and accidentally created a new Timebomb AU? Inspired by the Metro (exodus) Series, that wonderful Russian post apocalyptic games A little overview is that Jinx Vi and Ekko (and everyone else) was part of a Metro Station Known as The Lanes. Metros are called "Zaun" instead of "the metro" and the surface is called "Piltover" or "Topside" In this AU Piltover essentially takes over the role of Polis, a collection of stations, located at the heart of the Metro. Like Piltover, Polis is known as a station with wealth and power, known to be more "advanced" than other parts of the Metro. However in this case that power often goes to their head. Piltover has taken over much of the surface world, but because they are greedy, many parts of it still wanna take the metro as well. So they make their own subway territory and just play battleship with other territories, grabbing parts over the years.

The AU mainly happens when the Gang are adults and tensions between Piltover (or Polis) and Zaun are at an all time high.

Caitlyn and Vi are part of Polis and have a like/dislike of the Rangers after they move to D6.

Jinx is a former bandit who was being hunted by Polis but is now recruited into the Rangers instead. Much like in Arcane the reason Vi is with Caitlyn and the Polis is because the pair (jinx and vi) got separated while young. Jinx makes a living as a bandit in her teenage/adult years but the only REASON she did it is because Bandits have freedom to go in and out and outside explicit territory lanes.

Which means she has more freedom compared to others to leave and go and search for her sister who she has a nagging inklike is still alive but she doesn't know where.

Being a bandit helps get supplies but also bartering material to get information out of someone. But the issue is, Jinx is also chaotic as shit. She's good at her job but also tends to cause trouble

Usually it's accidental, hence the "Jinx" nickname she's known by in the metro. But also sometimes it's just her being her. So when word spreads about this chaotic trouble maker bandit, Polis hears about it through the vine and as such is worried about the potential of her causing trouble there. Deep down Polis really doesn't care but Polis is also looking to get something out of her capture since life in the metro is fucked beyond belief and any scrap of something is still something. Polis has it, which means if they have her they can barter her.

Vi and Cait know about the rumors surrounding this chaotic dumbfuck, but because she's going by the name Jinx now,  Vi doesn't know who she is. But because she has a bounty on her head, Vi and Cait take the opportunity to hunt her down for Polis.

Which is kinda what Jinx want's because deep down she has a feeling that if she makes enough noise something will come about her search for her sister.

But because she's also causing trouble out the wazoo, Jinx is basically force recruited as a Ranger. Ranger in the Metro series are essentially a group of elite battle-hardened soldiers. Consisting of the most skilled and deadliest warriors in the whole Metro, they roam the wasteland helping settlements, as well as fighting bandits and mutants alike while serving as protectors of Polis, however due to Polis' bullshit a lot of split off from Polis and have just been making a living doing what they've been doing under a more "free banner" Jinx is force recruited as a ranger, given a babysitter and a new job in the hopes it'll keep her loose canon crap in line long enough to keep her alive because lets face it the rangers WANT HER she's good at what she does, she's great at her job she just needs to calm the fuck down

THUS ENTER RANGER EKKO

who doesn't like this JUST as much as Jinx does, but HOLY CRAP Does he think she's stunning. After some time together you find out that Ekko and Jinx grew up together! That the metro they used to live in, “The Lanes” was once a thriving station that got destroyed and as it turns out it's Powder's fault and that's why they got separated. She was experimenting and caused a big explosion and the nosalises broke in. 

as a result she tries to be a loner

but let's face it her mental health refuses to allow it. As a result she wants to be alone but she also hates being alone because she's never really been alone, ever in her life. And even though she hates Ekko he's also literally the first person to ever be in a room with her for longer than 30 minutes since The Lanes. He's from The Lanes too, having worked to become a Ranger after the accident at the lanes when the OG Rangers showed up to clean house and eradicate the station. They took him in to Polis, which Ekko hated since " all that glitters isn't gold" and Polis isn't what it seems when you actually Live in it. This being timebomb, Ekko and Jinx still of course have a connection. But it's more of a DENIAL OF FEELINGS, JINX IS TOO AFRAID TO SAY ANYTHING TO HIM, because of course they can never make things fuckin easy on themselves.

They work well together

but they don't work well together

Until something happens Now the thing about Jinx is she has a "connection" of sorts to Demons, large bat-like aerial surface predators that patrol topside, and are at the top of their food chain and deadly to both humans and mutants alike.

Jinx likes them because much like her they’re a source of chaos but also them being able to fly also gives her a sense of freedom.

Anarchy in its most primal form. She loves to hunt them. Loves to encounter them

And Ekko loves being at least 20 miles away from them.

The Accident happens when their topside while they're on patrol counting kills as usual. It's all going well, they're experts at their craft and they never fail on a mission. Ekko is smart and resourceful and always restocks the outposts and caches and is never caught unawares

BUT during this patrol, he and Jinx end up having their first real connection moment together during which Ekko is thrown entirely off his game as he realizes there are feelings building for her that he hasn't felt since he was younger. And while he's off his game, they end up getting jumped by a demon that Jinx wanted to study and Ekko is slow to react and gets grabbed. Jinx of course handles it but on the way down he lands face first and his mask cracks.

Jinx scrambles through looking for filters because he's running out, only to realize THOSE are gone too, during which she remembers they were on the way back until she got distracted with the demon.

It's HER fault he's running low, and somehow she blames herself for the mask breaking too.

Now she's in panic mode because life with him is unbearable but never once in her life did she plan for life WITHOUT him.

As a result she panics because like always stated with timebomb, their Soulmates. They can't be without each other and it's a fact both are coming to grips with because why else would everything still pull them together even after years apart. As a result, She saves him

She helps him

and then she spends half of her time just 

(and she kills a Librarian on her own to take shortcut back to D6 which immediately gives her a TON of credit because not only is it a fucking Librarian but now there's a very handy shortcut that doesn't involve long stretches of open ground to reach a dense urban area)  While Ekko's recovering she's sitting on the counter beside his cot exactly like this. She's also gone the second he starts gaining lucidity again and acts like she wasn't hovering the entire time he was out of it. Deep down he doesn't blame her despite what she thinks. She didn't intend for his mask to break.

Plus he's seen how she is with Demons, she IS cautious, she is alert when it comes to them. But things in the wastes can change 1 2 3 so deep down while people can be well prepared as hell, they can still run into issues.

He doesn't blame her, it's just literally wasteland bad luck. Maybe he is annoyed about the situation. Maybe he is a little annoyed with her

but she did help him

She saved him. At the risk of her own life when people would have just left him to die because survival of the fittest is the motto of the wastes

but she's here

She saved him and maybe that knowledge helps him realize that split second of realizing deep down that nothing has changed really about them compared to when they were younger. Nothing really, they're still the same, they still care, they just grew up having a hard time realizing it and coming to terms with it. She saved him and this almost uncharacteristic nervousness she's letting off around him is unbecoming of her. He notices it when she avoids him. She's happy he's awake but she's avoiding him now, and he knows why. Deep down he knows why. And he doesn't like it. So when he's finally able to stand for more than a minute without getting lightheaded he goes to find her and finds she's off by herself.

She doesn't want to have this conversation and so she tries to leave, but he corners her against a wall. She's expecting shouting, yelling, blame being thrown.

But imagine her shock when he doesn't do that.

No yelling.

No screaming.

All he does, as quiet as Ekko usually is, is cup the back of her head

close his eyes

and press his forehead against hers.

"Thank you" Forehead-presses with a hand on the back of the neck is a gesture that died with The Lanes, maintained only by Ekko, Jinx, and Vi, now. And only Ekko and Jinx can do it properly, and maybe Ekko isn't even thinking as he does it but JINX is. And while she accepts the gesture she ushers that they go back to being rivals for a bit because she is NOT ready for anything with him, just wants everything back how it was before he almost died. Because it's Ekko and timebomb and they just have to make shit complicated >:(

There's another near-death thing that happens later on where this time it's Ekko saving her and/or others. And Jinx realizes then that Ekko is kinda, like, drawn to death. SHE already tends to get the "heebie-jeebies" around him because it feels like the supernatural parts of the Metro gravitate toward him. Ekko is like a magnet for the weird and the strange and the otherworldy in the Metro. Almost like it's following him wherever they go, or laying in wait for him. So often their paths are blocked and they have to enter the haunted tunnels, and that's what spurs Jinx's initial dislike of him because ironically he just seems like a bad luck charm to her. And in addition, Death always seems to be chasing him, always hunting him, they're just both really "lucky" and also skilled and they nearly always manage too scrape by

Nearly always

Except now, twice, he's been on the threshold. And as it turns out, he’s ok with that because even now just like in Arcane, he still has that strong blooded sense of martyrdom coursing through him. Everyone knows him for it. It's why his code-name is Savior

He's the only man to never leave another to die in the wastes.

He's the only one ever brave enough to actually rescue people instead of leaving them behind for dead. And perhaps people use the term savior as a way to make fun of his ideals as it is a dog-eat-dog world down there in the tunnels, but he takes it in pride because he knows the more he shows off how life can be without the factions fighting that maybe something might change.

Even if He has to die to show it.

But death never takes Him

Comes close but it never touches him

It always instead goes for people around him

It's as if Death is scared of him, but also reminding him it's still around

Why else would it have tried to take Jinx with it

Death is scared, not just of Ekko, but of Jinx as well

"Cause no matter what I do, I just can’t seem to die. . ." as she had once said to him during one of their more somber moments together where they would talk until the moon was high in the sky.

Death knows that in order to get them, it has to be patient. It has to be cunning

It has to wait silently.

Has to wait until they both don't suspect it before it can pounce. Before it can choose which one to take, and the choices it has are grand

A hero martyr?

Or a raging ball of Sun-fire

The choice is easy. Because who would'a thought the moment that would happen. The moment that death finally decides which one to try and take would also be the moment that death would grow a sense of humor.

Because it was funny. After all it was fucking Ironic for death to have shown up the moment

The exact moment. That they finally reunite with the lost sister

and her sisters new friend

Ekko and Jinx had been so comfortable with one another that in a slip of the mind, they forget momentarily that Jinx has a bounty on her head still that Polis is still gunning for. The other factions give up, they really don't fucking care, but Polis (piltover) has a score to settle with Jinx for past aggression's. But Jinx and Ekko are smart, they never go near Polis territory, always stay away from there unless they have to and even then they give the territory line a berth, always stay near home or ally territory.

They don't come to them

So Polis comes to them instead.

In the form of an ambush.

But it's an ambush that goes horribly wrong.

Because it's Vi who Caitlyn sends out to distract their quarry when they finally find them.

It's Vi who stops them. Who realizes who they are.

It's Vi who momentarily forgets what she's supposed to do when she runs into her long lost sister and there's a moment of peace as she embraces the one she's been searching for even after all this time.

The thing about the wastes, is having an easy trigger finger is a good thing. Being able to shoot from the hip is a god-sent trait that many wish they could have.

It's also one that Cait is famous for.

Because she's flighty. She's focused, but she's always itching to pull the trigger because that's what the wastes teach you to do to anyone who isn't an ally.

It's why Vi still speaks fist before words.

Until this exact moment

The one time she doesn't raise fists

Is the one time she needs too No one knows what happens

what truly happened anyways, because it all went down hill so fucking fast.

Perhaps the two Polis had moved too close to the Ranger territory line. Perhaps a scout noticed. Perhaps past aggressions cause tensions to rise faster than any because the Rangers take the presence of the Polis as an act of war or aggression.

After all, compared to all other factions, Polis has never been too friendly. They are prone to hostile take-overs so as a result people are antsy.

After all, you really think Cait woulda just brought Vi with her?

Nope

Just like her descent upon Zaun in the show she brings a tiny shock team with her, safety in numbers of course. They are efficient but perhaps too efficient because their presence alone makes everyone nervous as hell.

All they had to do was wait

just wait

For Jinx to come into view and someone could've taken her, either taken the shot or her into custody no one cared at this point

But they don't intend for Vi to recognize her.

Don't intend for a "flighty" subordinate to escalate things because they can't keep their mouth shut. Don't intend for that same subordinate to make Cait, who's already headstrong on the mission nervous What happens next is a near total fire-fight. Jinx doesn't trust any of them.

And it breaks her heart to think that instead of putting the effort into finding her like Jinx did with her, that instead Vi would settle up with one of the most hostile factions this side of the metro.

Vi doesn't want to fight.  For the first time she never wants to fight

She wants to explain

But now everyone's nerves are running hot and everyone's trying to kill each other and now Vi has to worry about self protection. She doesn't want to hurt her sister. But she doesn't have much of a choice.

Ekko is far from Jinx during this whole thing and all he knows is that the Polis are enemies. He never trusted the Polis, no one does. His reaction to them is no different from how he reacted to Vi with a Piltie in the show.  So of course Ekko's first instinct  despite everything is to Protect Jinx. He knows they want her. He knows how Polis work. They'll kill her before they even talk to her.

So it's simple

Get to her, don't let the Polis beat him to it.

But they do.

Ekko doesn't know who takes the shot.

But he's surprised he actually hears it with all the noise.

The shouts the screams and the gun fire.

He's literally four seconds away.

And all he hears is basically a simple

Pop And it's a pop that shocks both Vi AND him. Because despite it being no different than any other pop their currently hearing, something in it just tells them to simply

look up

And when they look up,

Jinx is already paler than she's ever looked.

It's Cait who holds the gun.

It's Cait who aims

But it's less for the bounty, and more solely because she was protecting Vi.

It wasn't really her fault.

In the end it's just like everything else in the Metro. Everyone was just protecting what they owned.

Ekko-Jinx

Cait-Vi

Polis it's men

Ranger it's territory.

But history has a funny way of repeating itself at the worst times.

How funny it really is.

Ekko gets to Jinx. He holds her, tries to stop the bleeding even with Vi screaming in his ear, apologizing, saying it wasn't supposed to go like this. But Ekko can't hear anything, his sight and his hearing are pinpointed directly to the thing he's trying to keep alive. That is

. . .until something else breaks through the fog in his head.

The thing about the metro is nothing is ever concrete. Nothing ever goes right. What should have been a simple firefight, turns into something worse.

When a roar breaks through the gunfire.

It's a roar that haunts Ekko, above all things in the wastes. Something that draws his blood to ice. It haunts Vi, and even would have haunted Jinx had she been coherent enough to hear it.

In fact, it's a roar that haunts everyone

Especially those survived the Lane attack all those years ago

Nosalises are ticky lil bastards.

Always hungry they go where the noise is because that's where the food is, and the rangers have always had an issue with culling their numbers down to a manageable population because they hide in places that rangers can't get to without compromising precious tunnel space that they need.

The firefight had basically acted like ringing the Dinner Bell.

One roar becomes two. Two four, four eight, eight sixteen and soon their growls alone overtake the sound of the gunfire as large hulking bodies make their way from not only down the tunnel line but from the holes in the walls and the ceiling.

They're hungry, they smell blood, and even a small group of Nosa can easily overwhelm fortified positions in large enough numbers, and maybe the Rangers guarding the outpost are happy to whatever god they still believe in down here that they're at a checkpoint and not the main gate. There's some distance between them, the main bunker, and the checkpoint, so for a moment, surprisingly, Polis and Ranger both do their best to take down the pests.

They can deal with their own personal shit later

No one wants to be torn apart like this.

Even this is too much.

Guns turn from each other to the beasts, but Ekko doesn't fight.

For the first time in his life he runs away

He's got something more precious to protect.

To keep alive other than himself.

But some Nosa spot him as he runs and even the mad dash down the subway tunnel is enough to hurt his knees even at the breakneck speed. Jinx doesn't even weigh anything.

But she's almost. . .dead. . .weight. . now

So still so quiet. When the Nosa finally start to close in, Ekko is almost. . .so willing

To simply sit down with her.

To sit down and know and accept that, if they are to die that he wants to die with her.

Fuck the Polis, they can't have her.

Fuck the rangers, the tunnels, the monsters, the radiation fuck it all. Fuck everything. Fuck his idea of peace and shit. Fuck the factions fuck it all. Fuck everything.

Nothing matters if she's not around.

He's come to know that.

Accept that. Absolutely cherish the notion of her forever being by his side. Without her, life seems so pointless. She's been the only thing to ever make him happy. To help him make true sense of all he was fighting for. To make light of all he was fighting for.

And if she is to die.

He doesn't want her to die alone

So many die alone. . .he remembers the finale hours of the Lanes, the screams the blood the roars the terror. . .he doesn't want to go through that. . .he's always been so alone

He doesn't want her to be alone, not anymore. She never deserved that. He knows she hates to be alone.

But they’re not alone

not quite

The distance between the Nosa and them is short, so at a point Ekko finally stops. He finds a corner. Someplace dark, and curls up with her pressed against him. Holding her close.

and he waits

thump thumpthump

and he waits and he waits for teeth and claws and the end.

but all he hears instead is a yelp; a short series of yelps and whines and all of a sudden he gets a headache, something fierce and something suddenly talks to him. It's like an echo, not one his brain is used too, so it bounces loosely around and it thumps and it knocks and it hurts like hell but the voice is soft.

It tells him to get up and go.

To move while he still has time, and Nosa are still squirming about, whining and whimpering and scratching at their heads.

He doesn't know what makes him move. But when one leg pushes up the other follows and he starts moving again.

The voice tells him things as he moves.

Stop

Wait

Go

Hide

Move

And he listens to every command that he's given. Until he finally see's the main gate so close to the end.

The Voice speaks to him a few more times

Good

Almost there

Not far

I help

Almost Home

(Home)

What a fuckin word.

The voice stops right at the main gate. And Ekko has just enough strength once it leaves and makes him feel drained to bang and shout and beg for them to open, to help.

The Rangers recognize his voice. They open it within seconds of noticing him and Ekko just has enough strength to tell what happens, to tell them to go down the tunnel line and see if there are any survivors.

He's a high name in the Rangers, so he tells them whoever left not of their side is to be taken as prisoners.

The world goes dark after that, with his only thought left being of that if this is it, that if this is the point in which death takes her

to at least have death be kind enough to take him with her if she goes.

The world is dark for about a week.

When Ekko wakes up he's hurt, but he's alive.

And the first, the literal first thing he wants is her.

To know if she's dead or alive.

 If she's alive, where is she?

If she's dead, where did they put her body?

To his relief and his shock, he finds out she's still alive. By some grace, death was still scared of them just enough to let her live.

He asks where she is, and they tell him and despite his injuries, he automatically forgoes them and goes to her.

But as he goes, he passes by where they keep the prisoners.

And there he sees them

Vi Cait and all other members of the Polis who survived the Nosa's. Vi sees him and automatically starts talking, asking about Jinx, shit like that but Ekko surprisingly ignores her and keeps walking passed.

Jinx is alive. If she stays like that, he'll allow her to decide what to do about her sister. He'll let her decide, let her make the decision. It's the least he can do for her.

He finds her on the other side of the compound. Turns out, surviving both the Polis AND Nosa at the same time makes you a sorta star, Ekko had to have known that, all he kept getting was commended.

The spot she's in is a spare bunk away from prying eyes. And before his body even knows what it's doing, he's suddenly curling up next to her. He doesn't even cry.

He just

presses his forehead against hers and relishes the soft warm fan of breath against his chin and neck.

He dozes with her, sleeps with her in ways he does with her when they're alone on encampment topside.

But about an hour or so, that voice is back in his head.

And it doesn't hurt him as much as it did before.

And it tells him to come topside

That it wants to talk

And it's almost like Ekko is entranced, but he "follows" the voice from the tunnels to a roof topside. And there before him stands a Dark One.

It is one he vaguely recognizes.

He's passed by it before, when he was with Jinx topside all those months ago. He's helped it before. And he knows it's been following him. But why is it here?

Before he can say anything regarding that however,

His first instinct is to thank it

For saving her. For saving him

But why

It's then sorta like the games that we learn about the Dark Ones.

About how the Dark Ones never intended to hurt anyone or to cause the death of humans. But how their very presence and psychic influence often drives certain individuals mad, and how because of that it leads nearly all to believe that the Dark ones were Malevolent and thus treat them violently.

The Dark One's were going to leave the humans. Say fuck it and not bother with them anymore.  But Ekko, because of his kindness, had begun to change their mind.

Through him, the Dark One's also learn of what it is to be human. About how ideals (like Ekkos) come second in the end to the true nature of being human, which is caring about those above yourself.

Ekko used to save people because of his ideas.

He saved Jinx because he loved her.

and because Ekko was also kind to them, the Dark ones basically repaid the kindness by aiding his escape.

But they need a favor. Turns out Polis is doing more than grinding axes with the metro's and stealing territory, they are also grinding axes with the Dark Ones, they seek to eradicate them. And now the Dark One needs Ekko's help before it's too late.

So just like the Metro games, you have a choice.

Go through with helping them

or let them fend for themselves

(WE'RE NOT MONSTERS SO WE HELP THEM)

And then it's sorta like the games. You go through some missions, now sadly by yourself since Jinx is out of commission, and you help the Dark Ones throughout them. But in doing so at least in this case, you learn that the dark ones also have information regarding the Rangers.

Their encampment is not safe. Next on the list for Polis is the Rangers and their territory.

Because the dark ones can read the minds of humans and mutants alike, the Dark One who saved Ekko and Jinx finds out that through the mind and memories of one of the Shock team Cait took with them during their attempt to capture Jinx, that Polis plans on attacking the Rangers in an ambush on their next list toward conquest of the entirety of the Metro.

With this information, Ekko can now prepare for the fight that no one knows is coming or when.

And as an added bonus, the Dark One also allows Ekko the split second to see Jinx from time to time. Because of them, when he's topside during one section of this "mission", he's able to find out when Jinx is waking up, and make it there before she does so he can be there when she does.

And much like before, it's a tender moment. It's a little different from before because now both understand each other's feelings.

They understand now.

Even tho Jinx has to make the joke of asking Ekko if he's sure he's not the Jinx, cause it seems like Death is Curtailing them at this point XD

_ _ _ "You sure you're not the jinx?"

"I'm sure. You were never a jinx either, Blue. You were a kid. A kid who wanted to help.

And look at you since then, since joining the Rangers. All you've done is help. Helped when it didn't suit you. Helped when it hurt you. Helped me, who hated you and who you hated.

And now we're helping the one thing we've always been taught to fear.

You ask me, I'd say we're both each others' good luck charms." "What you are is an idiot."

"An idiot in love."

"What"

"I love you, you maniac."

"...fuck you."

"Not gonna say it back?"

"You gonna cry if I don't?"

"Maybe. When I'm alone later."

"As if I'm ever letting you be alone again, Savior Boy."

"Lucky for me I like to keep my loved ones close."

"...you are such an idiot."

"Only with you maybe. Everyone else thinks I'm brilliant."

"If I say it back will you stop making a fool of yourself?"

"Probably not." _ _ _ They forehead press again Except this time. . . this time it's mutual

2. oh jeez… long list but here we go, there will be multiple from the same group bc i’m indecisive.

BTS: RM

TXT: idk rn but probably taehyun or beomgyu

Stray Kids: han. i’m tired of ignoring the urges.

Monsta X: I.M

ATEEZ: erm… seonghwa

P1Harmony: can barely choose but probably jongseob

3. this isn’t necessarily outrageous but i’ve been scared of bugs and the like for my entire life and i frequently have nightmares about being swarmed by wasps and when i’m at home i’ll sometimes have dreams about my closet going up in flames and then, yk, dying. i also have that fear of holes, trypophobia, which is really yummy.

[elvenbeard]

I finally sat down and played Reed's path in Phantom Liberty and HOLY shit. Spoilers below the cut just in case köahsdföahdsf

MAN. I was like, 95% unspoilered for everything, the only things I knew was: you gotta fight against Kurt, there is a scene in So Mi's apartment, some Cynosure fuckery, and I had seen gifs of So Mi in the core at the end (and deducted HM. she isn't looking to good, I feel like this is an ending where she dies).

But so so so many things came unexpected and got me so damn good!! I had fun fighting against Kurt, his little knife-throwing sequences (though I still wouldve loved a peaceful solution more than this XD a third path where you side with him or sth like that). I did not expect that we'd be fucking with MaxTac alsködhfasf that little bit was so fun, from setting up to having to fight them (though I also really struggled with that at first, rightfully so xDD).

The level design of the Cynosure was amaaaazing, the creepy horror vibes, the voices the jumpscares aödshfasf I loved that so much. I was not at all prepared for the Cerberus mech, that was mean af xD But so fun, gameplay-wise, so creepy, too. I ate up the lore of the place (and how insane that something like this exists under NC - and how much more similar shit must exist as well for other corporations??).

How the apartment sequence was done blew my whole mind, the transition between the bunker and the apartment, the little flashbacks, and how everything slowly crumbled and fell apart. I love that you can hug So Mi ;___; and man, I was crying so much at the end, the pain... but the only thing that felt right in that moment was killing her and giving her her freedom, and it was so raw and gentle and horrible all at the same time (also V's reaction was ;____; aaaahhh my boy).

I loved that we got a chance to shit-talk Myers XD And that, after all that in the end, Reed may finally find his freedom too and get away from the FIA for good!! I was adskhföasf so feral about his and Vince's parallels again, losing everything and being forced to start over. I loved his line that went like "thanks to you I have a choice now, something I haven't had in a long time". And man, I hope he uses his chance to get as far away from Myers and Washington and all that crap as he can, while he still can (just how that whole experience has deterred Vince from wanting to go back to Arasaka for good xD).

Overall though, I gotta say. I felt like the villain the whole time xD From betraying So Mi (still so obsessed that the options are called "Betray XYZ", not "Side with XYZ" which I've seen much more commonly in games with choices - It's a small detail but it makes such a difference in tone!!), to chasing her down all along it always felt wrong xD I'm glad at least towards the end there were some dialogue options that went away from the patronizing "we just wanna safe you" and "this is all for your best", and felt more human again.

So, for Vince's canon, if he goes through with PL from start to finish, he would rather betray Reed - and in return be betrayed by So Mi in the end aöshdajshf but yeah. Immersion and story-wise, her path felt more true to what he would do, even though I liked the outcome for Reed a lot in this. (and I guess that's really where the main difference lies in the end in all the choices, who gets to live and have their freedom in the end, and how much V is willing to sacrifice).

Also, since I went down the path of not handing So Mi over this time and not unlocking the new ending, instead I got new Mr. Blue-Eyes headcanons material O.O aksdfahsöf highly recommend looting the Cerberus mech and crafting the Cyberdeck in the "Unknown Number" related quest after the credits, in case you always wanted two more or less creepy talking constructs in your head xD

tag your most hard working fic writing mutuals uWu

Oh, buddy, I am friends with SO many extremely talented writers who work their absolute butts off to give us incredible fic and I know I'm going to miss people, so I'm going to cheat a bit and rec some recent-ish fics written by beloved mutuals. Would 100% encourage you to check out the linked story and then their entire collection of works because they are all fab. 💕

The Detectorists AU by @monksofthescrew. Two-part metal detecting AU. It is so atmospheric, so rich and tender and nuanced with some really incredible timey wimey stuff intertwined. I'm a little biased because I beta read these, but I think of them so often. Just a master class in story telling.

Respawn by @glamaphonic. This is SUCH a fun AU where Ed and Stede are both streamers. The concept works SO well, and the flirting and banter is top-tier. I know next to nothing about video games and I've still been able to follow along easily, squeezing my cheeks and kicking my feet the entire time.

wanna fly away (I don't know where my soul is) by @ghostalservice and @petrichorca. Speaking of fics I love where I know nothing about the concept, this is an Animorphs AU where Stede is just the most precious alien whom I would 100000% die for. It's such a fun, rich, layered story and I'm eagerly awaiting to see where it goes. Also just love this description of it: Our story is about finding one’s place in the universe (actually and figuratively), plays with the transformative nature of morphing and the power to change one’s body, and explores two individuals from wildly different backgrounds falling in love.

Moonstone Mage Championship by @blakbonnet. Holy crap, the WORLD BUILDING. Meow's mind is a wonder. I truly don't know how she does it, but I am literally in awe of her work on this fic. One of the most creative and detailed stories I've ever read.

Different Names for the Same Thing by @oatmilktruther. I have been rotating this fic in my brain ever since it was posted. I don't even have proper words to describe how gorgeous it is. It's basically my soul now. Abs' gift for blending humor and tenderness and making you feel the love between Ed and Stede is unparalleled.

My Father's House by @trans-top-stede. Owen describes this as "a t4t theatre au (kind of)" because it is about theatre, but it's mostly about gender and families and the healing power of queer art" and YES. It's beautiful and tender and hot and that last line has stuck with me ever since it was posted.

Gold Rush by @abigailpents. Potentially the sweetest AU I've ever read. Just pure love and romance. Just let yourself get swept away. It is lovely.

Tree Change by @clairegregoryau. I am constantly in awe of all the work Claire puts into her fics. She is operating on a whole other stratosphere and it's incredible to watch. Tree Change is a little teaser for what promises to be an incredibly unhinged Kinktober and I am just rubbing my hands with glee for what's to come. (ba dum tss.)

Matching spark and flame by @bizarrelittlemew. My current read that I am devouring, it's so fucking good. Everything Ida creates is just pure magic, and this one is no exception. Also extremely excited for the OFMD Fic Club discussion on this one later in the month, so be sure to read and join the server so you don't miss out.

I know I'm missing a bunch, but this list is already getting long and I need to get back to some beta work. Kissing all my writer mutuals on the forehead and giving them all the good writing vibes. May your muses be ever loquacious and cooperative. 💕

[sapphire-heart-tippy]

I should be getting back to answering asks and doing roleplays and games pretty soon!!

You all who send me the mermaid au/Jonny head/and general au asks always make me die laughing 🤣😭 plus a lot of stuff is just really freaking creative! 💪✨

Sometimes I'm just like "This is perfect on its own and I have nothing else to add to it *chef's kiss*" and the only thing I can do is just put emojis 😭🫶 I do try to find a way to keep the rp going, but holy crap sometimes you all just make it end on a perfect punchline /genuine

Also I wanna play the f/o ask games again still, just gonna breathe in, crack my knuckles, and get a move on 😎

home away from home

Chapter one

Rift in space

rushing to the research lab, running down about 20 flights of stairs. The red flashing lights and loud blaring alarms of the “transport rift” protocol only made me run faster. I'm the one who worked with portals, but i've never worked with one of these.

It's kinda thrilling.

But even with all my training I was working on instinct. I grabbed the pack they set up for me just like in practice. Checking over items in my head, two weeks worth of food and water, fresh clothes, and a notebook with a pen. 

“Holy arceus” 

Thing has to be a least 20 feet tall

“It's a big one aint it” Nemona’s voice knocks me back to this reality

“Yeah, but, i think i'm ready to see the other side of it” shifting my weight from left to right trying to keep my feet off the ground to prevent a rainbow of foot prints from appearing below me, whilst hot potatoing my bag between hands to prevent the same issue.

“Where's penny? I wanna go nerd out with her before I leave” despite the fear this is really exciting. But that's not the only reason i need to talk to her

“Right office. The one with the colored handprints” crap- i forgot to change her door back after last time we hung out. I told her we shouldn't have played that new paintball game on hard mode.

I thank nemona as I run off down the right hall and burst through Penny's door. I pance as I try to get my breath back.

“Hey cel, you good? I know this is stressful but you're leaving prints everywhere” 

“I'm trying to get it all out before jumping into arceus knows where, potentially a place that demigods ain't welcome” my voice was louder than it should have been. Penny seemed unnerved. 

After pacing for a minute i swipe my foot over the bright spots i left everywhere, 

I need to get better at stopping those

I snap back to hear Penn calling my name “celeste, celeste, the gateway rift is destabilizing. You need to get going” 

Am I ready?

“Good luck cel” she smiled and bent down to hug me before pushing me to the door.

“See y'all in a fortnight” saluting before spinning on my heel and walking into the bright gateway was the last time i could call myself “normal” by demigod standards.

Memories replay in my mind, my seventh birthday still stands out as different. 

Sitting there with that necklace in my hands

The celestial steel was warm like it was fresh off of mom’s bench

It was so colorful

Like etherialy vibrant

“My darling boy, have i told you the story of your name?”

“I dont think so mama”

She took a deep breath, not as if she was tense but more as if she was content

“I named you after this very metal, because when i found you your eyes shone with the same vibrant light of this necklace”

I remember looking at her and giggling 

“Fun story mama, but my eyes are blue not rainbow!”

“Either way kiddo, i hope this necklace will guide you to have a life as vibrant as its colors”

I looked into the metal for hours, it felt so warm, as if it was a part of me i had lost 

And now in this gateway, this rift in the universe gives me the same feeling, and the colors are just as vivid

That sweet nostalgia quickly fades to show me things i hope to never see again

Memories of potential futures.

Standing on the edge of a shattered planet

Those vivid colors coating my own body

The core of my home slowly ripping away at me as it did to my family. 

But that was never gonna be the worst of it 

Was it?

Glowing wings rapped round my eyes.

I can hear someone talking to me, but i cant make out their words

Well, except for two words

“Thank you”

@forbidden-royal

your nugget pilot chapter

[gaming-thoughts-by-an-idiot]

Fable 2, may the frustration begin!

"Alrighty, let's go, I've already had a break after crying about Rose and Sparrow and I just named the dog Snape"

"Fuckin hell, there's a hurricane outside haha hope it doesn't take away the power haha"

"Woow, the shirt I'm wearing is -5.0 attractive! That's so mean!"

"I put my wagon up for rent cuz im smart this time"

Theresa: when you come out from there, you're gonna be stronger-- much stronger

Me: from puberty

"Snape found something... it's a Ball! Thank god, I thought it was gonna be a condom"

"The controllers are a bit awkward, but that's probably more on me since I've been playing more pc lately"

"Old tomb, oh no Snape is scared! My baby:("
