Summary: You had come to Brackley expecting a generic interview, not a deep dive into Toto's lovemaking life. Author's note: As a reply to the request made by @ xoxo_lily at The Wolff Pack Discord Server.

More Toto Wolff fics right here > Masterlist

The second you entered the empty boardroom where Toto was waiting for you, you felt the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

Your heart pounded hard as you gazed at the well-dressed boss. Toto's tall, big, powerful muscled silhouette claimed your eyes immediately. He looked even more massive in person.

A hiss of nervousness curled in your stomach as you approached the table while grabbing the seat next to him.

When he slid his chair to face you, just centimeters apart from you, you felt tiny. Even though both of you were sat down he towered over you with a notorious difference.

Oh, if you could bury your head in that broad and muscular chest in front of you.

Since Toto's aura of power mesmerized you, and your curiosity and attraction for him piqued, you decided to do an article on him for the upcoming issue of GearGrl.

Armed with a script and a microphone, you made your way to his private boardroom, where he takes video calls and deals with sponsors, press, and guests.

The smell of polished oak and leather filled the air, creating an alluring scent that is as arousing for you as the man himself.

His piercing eyes sized you up the second the door swung open and you stepped in.

You extended your hand at him, trying to hide the trembling nerves, rocking a bit in your chair. "Mr. Wolff, my name's Y/N. I'm a journalist from GearGrl magazine, and I'd love to chat with you for a feature article," you smiled, hoping this would ease your tension but went all the way around, the minute Toto placed his big warm hand on yours your mind went wild.

Toto's hand is double size yours. Fuck! He only added a little pressure on the handshake and you are already wetting yourself.

What would be like to have his entire body weight crushing you down against the sheets?

Toto's gaze shifted from your body towards your hand, squeezing it a bit. "Nice to meet you, little one. I don't have much time today. But, if you have specific questions about our team strategy or sponsorships, I'll be glad to answer," he said, his voice deep and commanding.

You swallowed hard and decided to push your luck. You tilted your chin upwards, meeting his gaze with a newfound boldness, he stared down at you due to the height difference, and a little smirk formed on his lips before you dared.

"Actually, I was hoping to pepper you with some questions about your life beyond the track. Your passions, your hobbies, that sort of thing."

A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes before they narrowed on you. "I don't see how that is relevant to the teams' performance or our supporters," he said, his words snipped.

"Well, I believe that a man as influential as yourself, Toto, has a life worth exploring. Your devoted fans crave a glimpse into your world, and this interview would offer them just that."

The corner of his mouth twitched in a rueful half-smile as if you had struck a nerve. "Smart move, little one."

Then you pushed again, "Also you could inspire young enthusiasts by offering them a picture of a well-rounded individual."

"My stories might not paint the perfect picture.

I have made mistakes and faced challenges along the way," he warned you.

"No one is perfect, Toto, and that's what makes humans interesting." you leaned forward slightly, your curiosity in full bloom. Toto shifted his position and relaxed his body, sensing you getting closer. His big muscular tights spread a bit, and he rested his big hands on them.

"What kind of challenges did you face, if I may ask, Toto?" you dare.

A heavy sigh, "When I first took over as the TP at Williams, many doubted my capabilities. They saw me as nothing but a reckless, inexperienced playboy. But the team rallying behind me and our eventual success at the track fueled my persistence," Toto explained, his gaze lost in your lips. "I've fought battles at work and in my personal life, learning valuable lessons along the way."

Intrigued by his reveal, you asked, "Can you tell me about those battles in your personal life?"

"I don't know if my personal trials will make a good story. Still, there's one I could mention. When my monogamist first marriage began to crumble, my focus on building my career inadvertently added fuel to that fire. I found myself alone and devastated, with my kids miles away in a boarding school," Toto said, his voice heavy with emotion.

Immersed in his story, you wanted to know more. "Did finding love again play a role in your healing process and later success?"

He took a long moment before meeting your eyes again, the intensity of his stare was crazy. "Yes, love found me just when I needed it the most. I met a woman named Susie, who was warm, inviting, and able to understand my urges." The emphasis and deep voice Toto made saying those words, provoked you to quiver. "The ones my previous partners never could." He chuckled softly. "I'm not sure if it was fate or sheer luck."

"Your urges?" your voice echoed throughout the empty room, drowned only by the sound of your accelerated heartbeats.

"I have a constant hunger not only for winning, I..." his eyes are already lifting your skirt.

"What do you crave for?" your voice trembled, enjoying the forthcoming invitation.

"I can show you" his voice was deep and one of his long big fingers was already playing with the hem of your skirt.

Then you dare to intertwine your hand with Toto's as a "yes, please show me", you wanted so badly to lick those big long fingers of his and feel them inside your tiny pussy fingering you relentlessly. His Rolex watch sparkled under the lights and the ring on his right hand shined.

The conversation took an unexpectedly intimate turn. You couldn't explain it, but there was something about the way Toto spoke that tugged at your deepest desires.

Perhaps it was the boldness of the thing he just revealed, that Susie allowed him to have his cravings.

Whatever it was, you couldn't deny your body's response to his words. Every pulse of your heart echoed in your pussy, leaving you flushed and yearning.

You had come to Brackley expecting a generic interview, not a deep dive into Toto's lovemaking life.

He guided you by the hand back to his office and onto the bulky trendy sofa. He pushed you down on it with ease, as if you were paper-thin.

"I won't be an easy lover to forget. But I don't do commitment or romance, only with Susie" he said.

You nodded in understanding, giving him what could only be described as a sultry smile. You wanted him to know you understood well what both of you were up for.

"My little pet" he growled before reaching for you. Your whole body trembled with anticipation as he touched your face gently, swiping his thumb across your lips. Toto was on his feet, making you feel even more small.

You parted your lips slightly, licking his thumb finger, the throbbing in your pussy escalating to an unbearable level.

Toto took this as his cue and pulled you closer, shifting your position with a firm and quick grip, leaving you now knees on the sofa and ass pinned against him.

Lifting your skirt, he rubbed himself against your tiny panties. Oh, the way he manhandles you!

You could feel his hardness pressed against your ass, his arousal evident. He lowered his lips to your ear, whispering huskily, "So you wanted a peek into the raw and real Toto Wolff? I warn you I will not hold back, my little pet." His gaze held yours with the confidence of a predator filling its hunger, and you licked your lips, letting him know you were ready for him.

Toto snaked his hand around, tangling his fingers through your hair, roughly tugging your head back to expose the hollow of your throat.

Your pulse hammered wildly under his harsh caresses as he trailed his lips from your jawline to that sensitive dip.

"Fuck," you gasped, unable to contain the reaction to his touch, knowing this was reckless, zero professional, and wrong but too far gone to care.

Despite his warning, you wanted Toto in a way that defied all logic and you were eager to prove you could handle whatever he gave you.

You could feel his erection trapped against the zipper of his pants. Unable to resist any longer, you reached out, popping the fastener of his trousers. In one swift motion, you pushed his pants and boxers down.

His cock sprung free, thick and long, jutting out from a pair of toned, muscular thighs. The sight of him left you breathless and overwhelmed with lust.

"Fuck, you are going to destroy my pussy with that cock!" you whispered.

He smiled smugly, obviously pleased with your reaction.

You couldn't help but stare as he stood there, completely naked and unabashed. He looked like a Greek god, powerful, perfectly sculpted, and unapologetically male.

"I think I deserve a bit of a peak into your personal side too," Toto murmured, his eyes alight with playfulness. His words caught you off guard, and you raised your eyebrows playfully.

"Remember when I thought I was here for work?" you said and chucked.

"Come suck me, pet" he gestured to you, and you immediately turned around, your ass now on the couch, sitting right in front of him, his dick at your face level due to your height difference.

You started gripping the solid length of Toto's aroused cock, you curved your fingers around him, stroking him gently, eager to satisfy his desperation.

Toto sucked a breath between his teeth, his fingers tightening in your hair as you pumped your hand along his length. Your hand looked tiny around his fat cock. Getting already nervous about how would you fit that thing inside your mouth.

Toto's hand gripped the base of his cock, guiding it towards your lips. "Open wide," he commanded, his voice thick with desire. Hunger burned in his gaze, and you could practically see the animal instincts of the man taking over. "Suck my cock," he demanded you, the forcefulness of his words sending a jolt of pleasure straight to your core.

You parted your lips as wide as possible, allowing him to slide his length into your mouth. You gagged slightly as he pushed deeper, the tip of his cock hitting the back of your throat. Tears welled in your eyes, but you refused to let them fall.

Toto let out a low groan of satisfaction, his hips thrusting forward as he began to fuck your mouth.

You could feel his cock slid deeper, stretching you past the point of comfort. But you weren't complaining.

His salty taste filled your mouth, making you moan your approval. Toto slid his hands into your hair, gripping it tightly as he fucked your mouth in earnest.

You gagged again, but this time you didn't try to pull away. Instead, you relaxed your throat, taking him deeper into your mouth. You could feel him swell even further, and you slid your tongue along his shaft, creatively slurping at him.

Your eyes were so watery by now, but you didn't dare stop. You'd never seen a man look so entranced as Toto did at this moment, his eyes hooded and head rolled back in the pleasure of your mouth on him.

"Fuck, you take me so good, pet" he grunted, hips thrusting as his length slid in and out of your hot, wet mouth. "Keep going, my little pet, just like that."

You continued to pleasure him in this way until he suddenly pulled away with a hiss. Pre-cum glistened on your lips as you blinked up at him, seeking his approval, he looked so proud of you.

You looked like a total mess, all red on the cheeks, saliva all over your chin, watery eyes, and messy hair.

"Now to the couch, pet" he whispered darkly as he bent, lifting you with ease and tossing you onto the sofa.

You bounced once and landed right in the center.

The air left your lungs as he climbed on top of you, towering over you in all his glory, pushing your body against the fabric, your stomach and hips feeling the pain of Toto's body prisoning you.

His strong arms cupped your head, tilting your face towards his. Toto leaned in, pressing his lips to yours in a hungry kiss. You gasped as his tongue delved between your lips, tilting your head to receive it, your fingers dragging up the muscles in his arms, tracing his veins, he tasted like espresso and the faint scent of stale mint, a carnal, masculine flavor that left you panting and breathless.

Your kiss deepened as he moved away, nibbling at your lips and the sensitive skin beneath your ear, causing you to whimper, with delight.

His hands were everywhere, exploring your curves and leaving behind a burning trail of where his mouth would follow.

"Toto, please," you begged, desperately craving to feel him inside you. Your mind was full of desire, and all you could concentrate on was the hard friction his erect cock set off through your body.

No response at the call of his name, so you dared.

"Daddy, please," you moaned, squirming beneath him. Immediately his hands pinned yours to the sofa. You arched into his touch, savoring the way he finally was exposing you, getting out of the way all clothing items between you.

Toto's gaze immediately fell between your legs, hungry and unyielding, lust radiated off him, staring at your wet folds.

His free hand caressed your breast, pinching your nipple between his thumb and index finger. You couldn't help but gasp as he explored you.

You could feel the dampness spreading along your thighs, revealing just how much Toto excited you. Your breath hitched as he moved lower, circling his thumb around your clit.

"Oh, Daddy," you cried out, your voice barely more than a whimper.

A low growl escaped his throat before he replaced his thumb with two fingers, pushing them inside you, tasting, teasing, and sending you into a whirlwind of emotions.

He fingered you hard, getting you wet and splashing drops around and provoking soaking sounds, causing you to cry out in pleasure.

The mix of pain and pleasure coursing through you was dizzying, till you were completely out of breath and begging him to allow you a breather.

Before the head of his big cock burst through the barrier of your tight entrance, stretching your pussy wider than you ever thought possible. Your eyes went wide as you felt him penetrating you.

You gasped, feeling the intense sensation of being filled to the brim. "Daddy!" you moan loud, your pussy throbbed around his cock as it slid in further. "Daddy!"

Toto growled a low, animalistic sound that sent shivers down your spine. He pulled back slightly, then thrust you again and harder, this time driving deeper, ripping open your tight pussy even more.

You cried out, a mix of discomfort and delight coursing through you as he took you, possessing you in a way you only had dreamt of.

"Fuck, you're so tight, pet," he grunted, his voice thick with desire. "Your pussy is so fucking tiny."

His cock slammed into you relentlessly, and you moaned in pleasure with each rough thrust, feeling your body buried more and more. Your stomach pressed hard against the furniture's fabric. You felt the sofa creaking.

Toto's fingers dug into your hips, leaving angry red marks on your skin. You wouldn't have it any other way.

He picked up the pace, his hips slapping against your ass. You clung to the sofa, your nails digging into the textile as he pounded you harder and harder.

You let out a strangled cry as he hit the spot deep inside you. His name spilled from your lips, a desperate plea for more.

Toto responded by increasing the pace of his pounding, his cock hitting you with a savage, powerful intensity that started to hurt. You will be limping tomorrow.

You could feel every inch of him filling you, stretching you open.

With your lips locked in a fiery kiss, you felt a wave of moisture flood between your legs in anticipation of your climax.

"Such a good little pet" he growled, his voice thick with lust. You kept feeling the sensitive humid folds of your pussy stretch to accommodate him, engulfing him inch by delicious inch.

Your entire body felt like it was on fire, and you could feel yourself getting wetter by the second, teetering on the edge of release, your body tensing as you got closer and closer.

"Daddy, please, I can't take much more of this." you moaned, gasping for air, buried under his entire weight.

He pulled back, his cock coming free with a slick, wet sound. You felt a surge of disappointment and confusion, but before you could even begin to process what had happened, he grabbed you by the hips and flipped you over.

Your hands and back landed roughly on the couch as Toto pulled your hips up, his big hands grabbing your ass tightly and pushing you towards him with such force. The change in position left you feeling utterly exposed and vulnerable, your pussy slit in full display for him.

Toto stepped closer, his hard cock brushing against your slit. You could feel the heat radiating from his length as he leaned down, his hips hovering above your pussy. "You want daddy to fuck his little pet like this?" he asked, his voice low.

"Yes," you breathed, your voice barely above a whisper. "Please, daddy. I need to cum."

"Good pet," he murmured, his voice full of lust.

With a swift thrust, he buried himself inside you, making you cry out in pleasure-pain. Your muscles stretched and clenched around him, struggling to accommodate his girth.

Toto didn't give you a moment to adjust, pulling almost all the way in, and then out, before slamming back into you.

You were still sensitive from the earlier fucking, and you whimpered at the unexpected intensity.

"Oh, fuck, pet" Toto grunted, his fingers digging into your hips, rocking you towards him. He started pistoning into you, his massive cock splitting you wide open again, filling you completely.

With each thrust, you could feel yourself losing control, your sanity slipping away as he dominated you. Toto's powerful big hands gripped your small hips, pulling you back into him.

"Fuck, you wanted this, my little pet, don't you," Toto growled, his breath hot. "I can feel you clenching around me, trying to milk my cock. You're such a little slut, aren't you? Taking my cock like this and begging Daddy for more." Toto grunted, his balls smacking against your clit.

You could feel yourself getting close to the edge, your toes curling with each punishing thrust. "Yes, yes, oh god yeah!" you cried out, your voice hoarse from the pleasure-pain of being so thoroughly fucked.

Toto seemed to take this as a sign to speed up, you could feel him hitting your cervix with every stroke, a painful pleasure to possess you entirely.

"Yes, oh fuck yes, Daddy!" you screamed, your voice echoed through the office.

Your body began to tingle all over, a sure sign that you were close to orgasm. You held on to the sofa edge.

Toto's thrusting became erratic, his breathing ragged as he neared his own release. You could feel your climax building, every nerve ending trembling with the anticipation of release.

"Come for me, pet," Toto groaned.

Your legs were shaking, your muscles trembling, but you held on, desperate to cling to this incredible moment with every fiber of your being.

The room seemed to spin as you tried to focus on the sensation of Toto's cock as it filled you, pounding your body with a raw force that left you feeling small and powerless.

His fingers twisted in your hair as he traced your jaw with his tongue while his cock slid in and out of you.

You let out a moan as he angled himself deeper inside you, hitting your G-spot dead on. He started moving his hips in a slow grind, pressing every inch of himself against your inner walls.

"I bet you feel my dick stretching you? You like it when daddy owns you like this, hmm?"

You could only nod, unable to form coherent words as you submitted to him.

Toto's hand reached down, two fingers teasing your clit in time with his powerful thrusts. You arched your back, impaling yourself even further onto his hard shaft, urging him to continue the delicious torment.

He obliged instantly, expertly manipulating your clit as his cock ravaged your pussy, your hips bucking into every forceful thrust. Your pussy clenched and unclenched, desperately trying to hold onto him.

"Daddy, I'm cumming," you gasped.

Toto's thrusting became even more unhinged, his sweat-slicked body slapping against yours. You could feel him pulsing inside you, and you knew he was holding back too, waiting for you to go over the edge first.

"Fuck, call me daddy when you come," Toto groaned, his voice a guttural growl.

You felt your orgasm arriving, your muscles tensing as you let out a guttural cry. "Oh, daddy!" you moaned hard, as you finally came apart.

Toto groaned, his hips bucking as he sank himself to the hilt inside you, the pulse of your orgasm milked him, coaxing him closer and closer to his own release.

"Fuck, pet," he panted. "I'm so fucking close."

"Fill me up, Daddy," you gasped, still riding the waves of your orgasm. "Give it to me."

Toto's whole body tensed. With one final thrust, he buried himself deep inside you and let out a primal roar as he came hard.

You could feel the hot sprays of his release filling you up, and you moaned in pleasure as he emptied himself into you. Toto's cock throbbed and pulsed.

You stayed like that for a moment, your bodies heaving and trembling as you rode out the aftershocks of our intense climaxes.

Toto's body weight lifted from you, his sweaty chest pushing away slowly, as he reluctantly pulled out of you.

Your pussy throbbed and pulsed where he had filled it moments before, and you could feel his cum still trickling out of you, slicking up your inner thighs. You could feel the sweat drying on your skin, and your heartbeat beginning to return to normal.

"You were incredible, pet. I knew you would be, from the moment you entered." Toto said.

You smiled, still catching your breath as the words of praise washed over you like a warm embrace.

"I know, I'm daddy's little pet, after all."

Hellooo just wanna say your writing is so awesome im actually obsessed omg

Can i ask are you open for requests im 21 years old and id love it if you could write first time with the hashiras with an unexperienced reader when you get a chance ofc!

note: hye anon!! thank you so much for your lovely request, glad you like my writing!!!! so honoured ^u^ let's dive right into it!

SORRY FOR THE DELAY OMG i figured i'd do semi-detailed things so that this could still be a drabble, but i will do FULL fics for each of them if requested :3

— HASHIRAS x unexperienced!reader —

tw: fluff, foreplay, a bit of dubcon, praising

starring: giyuu, obanai, sanemi, gyomei, kyojuro, tengen

𝐆𝐢𝐲𝐮𝐮 ➤ it was no secret that giyuu was just as unexperienced as you were. his cold, reserved attitude has lead him to bottle up his own emotions in forever and, yes, including his desires too.

giyuu craved that sweet passion only you could give him.

He was the type of person to never lash out or fully express what he was feeling. But he sure did have a sweet spot for someone. And that someone was you. I'm not saying that he completely changed his behavior in your presence, no. But the way you looked at him definitely awakened something in him, something he knew you had never experienced.

One day, while walking back from a nighttime training, he decided to shoot his shot.

"Y/n." He breathed, authoritarily.

"Yes, Giyuu?" You turned your head towards him, unaware.

"You must be tired. My house is closer than yours."

You didn't know if this was an invite or a simple sentence. You did know he struggled with communication, so you just took it as a statement.

"Oh, yeah.. don't worry, i'll walk my way home alone. If you want to take the turn for your house, go f-"

Giyuu's gaze travelled across your haori. your curves. your legs. His stance, stoic and unbothered, in front of you.

"w-what's wrong, Giyuu?"

He placed a hand behind your hear, and leaned in.

"Just spend some more time with me. Y/n."

The sudden request made you jolt. You couldn't say you weren't into him. and you couldn't say you werent waiting for this. You quickly nodded, blushing from your cheeks to the tip of your ears. Giyuu leaned into a kiss, pushing his body against yours.

"God, i needed this." escaped his lips, while his lips met yours. His body wouldn't stop pressing against yours, in a desperate attempt to be closer to you. You stepped back and your back met the door to his place. He quickly pushed the door open and held your waist to guiide you through the livingroom, just for your back to meet his couch.

Giyu suddenly stops. He looks at you with deep blue eyes.

"What's wrong?" you wondered, looking up at him, thinking you did something wrong, or he changed his mind.

"You've never done this, have you?" He wonders, quietly. You blush. Was it so obvious? what gave it away? you shook your head. "But i want it." you added.

Giyuu's hand cupped the back of your head and slowly crawled on top of you, undoing his haori. "I'm sorry. --" he paused. "Sorry for acting that way." His knee made its way between your legs, and gently pressed on your crotch. His hands roamed over your body.

"Don't be... i liked it.." You chuckle quietly. He smiles, for all response. He kisses your neck and undoes your haori. "Smells.. good." He comments, before kissing down your bare chest.

𝐎𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐢 ➤ obanai was aware that this was your first time, and he needed to make it as special as he could. he'd look into your eyes deeply. gently undressing you, quietly, without making a sound. his cold hands slithering under your clothes, swiftly, they'd give you chills.

"hey, baby i'm here. look at me.."

he blushed, although he loved eye contact. your gaze would make him flustered, despite being with you for a long time.

"don't worry. please. it'll be okay. just tell me if you ever want to stop, okay?"

he'd whisper, reassuring you.

obanai loved long, intense foreplay until you both cannot take it anymore. and that's exactly what happened your first night with him. after kissing for hours, gently teasing each other, his slender fingers slid into you so easily. one. two. three. "i'm gonna put it in. you ready? i want to hear you."

Obanai was the kind of man that desperately needs to hear your voice. He wanted all of it, he wanted to experience your pleasure on his skin, too. He needed to know you were enjoying it as much as he was.

𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢 ➤ sanemi tried to be the perfect boyfriend. he really did. although, he couldn't take the idea that you could get tired of him. he wanted you, so bad, he wanted to own you, mark you. but no. you were still pure. untouched. the thought turned him on, a lot. he wanted to be the first. jealousy striked through his veins everytime he thought that you could get tired of him and date someone else.

so, one night he decided to show up at your house, knocking so hard. once inside, he grabbed your wrists in his fists.

"i want you. now. do you want to have sex?"

his voice, shaky and possessive, made you tremble.

"y-yeah but.."

"but what? fuck, we've been together for a while.. please."

"i g-guess. yes.."

"good little one. i fucking love you."

without letting go of your wrists, sanemi pushed your back against the wall. "let me show you what ive been craving. you need to learn.."

you didn't want him to stop. he was too good at this. and you knew you needed him too. you just hoped he'd take the lead, as you did not know where to start.

sanemi's hand wrapped around your waist and he pulled you into a deep kiss. your eyes rolled. he was so warm, as if his blood was boiling. his hands would wander under your clothes now. removing your haori. letting it fall carefreely on the floor. "god you're so fucking pretty, doll."

𝐆𝐲𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐢 ➤ Gyomei really knew he had to be careful with you because of his size. After preparing a hot romantic bath for you, he set you on his big futon, big enough to fit him, and probably twice your size. "Are you sure?" he hummed, his voice low and filled with doubts. He kneeled in front of you, towering over you.

"i'm sure, love."

He wanted to make sure your first time was the best thing he could ever give you. Gyomei lowered himself onto you, and wrapped his arm around your waist. one arm was enough to pull your body towards him, and you entangled your legs around his waist. Gyomei's lips met yours, and your fingers ran in his short, bristly hair. The pearls around his neck grazed against your skin. You aligned your hips to his.

"I love you... i love you.. you're so gorgeous.." he said, in adoration, kissing your skin. Beady tears rolling down his cheeks. his hands firmly keeping your hips still now.

𝐊𝐲𝐨𝐣𝐮𝐫𝐨 ➤ After a demon fight, Kyojuro offered you to see the dawn with him. You both sat on the grass, watching the moon slowly turn into the sun.

"Hey, y/n", he whispered.

"yeah?"

"You look pretty tonight. I mean today. I mean."

You both burst into a laugh. Kyojuro was the sunniest person you've ever met, with a burning fire inside of him. But now, he looked softer. as if..

"hey.. have you ever kissed anyone?" the question unexpectedly fell from your lips. Kyojuro looked at you for a few moments, before shaking his head.

"You could be my first. If..." Kyojuro's head turned to you, and he stared at the way your eyes were glowing in the moonshine. His kiss felt like a summer night.

His skin was hot to the touch, and his hair messily rested on his shoulder. As the dawn slowly creeped up the hill, you and Kyojuro experienced a truly whole new world.

𝐓𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐧 ➤ Tengen had just made you his 4th wife. You had no idea how it was to be married, let alone to a man like this. He was charming. His wifes, always cheerful and comfortable with each other. You woke up in his bed. His wives were asleep still, and you two were the only ones awake at the time.

"Tengen.."

"Yes, love?" He replied, with a soft voice.

"Since i'm your wife now.... does it mean.. we need to have kids?" You wondered.

"Of course not, silly. " he chuckled. "Not if you don't want to."

"I think... I don't want kids but... you know we've been together for a while and.."

"I know where you're going. You want to make love?" His voice was so soft and loving. His tone was reassuring. You didn't expect him to get it so fast. Tengen turns towards you, and his messy white hair flow on the pillow.

"Come here. let me show you baby." He pulls you by your waist, his tall body shielding you from the sunlight coming in from the window. You instinctively kiss him. It was a deep, passionate kiss. You loved him, and wanted to show him how bad you did.

"my pretty angel..." He mumbled, as his big hand started to roam across your soft sunkissed skin, eventually revealing your body and lifting your shirt, which turned into clawing your back, holding your hair, and lustful eye contact. You were at a loss of words. you didn't know this man could be as soft as a feather yet have the same strenght of a storm. Yet, he wouldn't hurt you once. He was careful. Delicate. Hungry.

note: i know this wasn't super long but i hope you enjoted :3

NOT PROOFREAD! -3-

[berberriescorner]

How would rio and y/n react if marcus brings a girl home?

Okay, so my imagination ran wild with this one. It's a bit lengthy, but hopefully you’ll enjoy it nonetheless. I’m glad to finally have gotten a bit of a creative spark. Hopefully, I’m not rusty. Please excuse any grammatical errors. This isn't heavily edited and I went with the flow. It would be greatly appreciated if you all love, comment, and reblog. Please understand (I know some get tired of hearing it but it’s important) that writing fanfiction takes time and dedication. Then there is the fact that it’s free. Tapping the love button is cool, but it’s the reblogs that help writers. Try to keep that in mind 💓.

Word Count: 3,500+

Warnings: A bit of fluff, laughter, and a little *cough, a hefty piece of* spice.

The aroma of garlic wafted through your newly renovated kitchen. It had been an early Mother's Day present from Rio and the babies. Your husband swaggered into the kitchen fresh out of the shower. He watched you stir the pasta and smiled as you made a mental note aloud to add more cream cheese. The deep timbre of your husband's voice startled you.

“Stay put mama. I'll grab some for you,” he rasped, lips brushing the side of your neck. His hand left a gentle squeeze on your hip.

“Damn it, Chris. Baby, I told you to stop sneaking up on me like that. I should've known your stealthy, fine ass was nearby. The scent of your cologne and body wash should've given you away.”

He stepped back over to the stove adding cheese. You shivered as his fingers danced up your spine, curling around to the front of you. You hummed as his hand lightly cupped your throat. As if your body knew exactly what he wanted, you tilted your head, angling it so he could gain access. Rio’s lips trailed light kisses up your neck, across the jawline.

“Food smells good, darling. When we eatin’?”

You chuckled, slapping at his hand as his finger dipped into the alfredo sauce.

“Boy! Get your fingers out of my pan.”

“Damn, ma! I can't get a little taste. Come on, mama. Daddy’s hungry,” he groaned.

“That's on you. Shouldn't have skipped lunch.”

Rio kissed his teeth, swatting your bottom playfully.

“You know I was handling business, sweetheart. Don't start,” he teased.

“Let that have been me not eating. You would've jumped in my shit.”

His head shook in disagreement, “Mm no. I would've just brought you some food and insisted you eat.”

“Last time I brought you lunch it turned into an argument.”

“Cause you don't listen. You know you weren't supposed to be anywhere near that warehouse. It was a matter of safety. Where that's concerned, you'll always come first, mama.”

You couldn't help but smile and roll your eyes at the sweet sentiment.

“Whatever, bossy ass. We’ll eat once the oldest baby boy gets here.”

“That's right it's our weekend,” he perked up.

Though there were times Rio wished he could see his son every day. He knew that Marcus was both his and Rhea’s pride and joy. Rio was thankful that they had a healthy co-parenting relationship. Joint custody had always been smooth with Rhea. She'd never dream of ever keeping their son away from his father. He was grateful that they both managed to move on. They both found love again, remarried, and everyone seemed to get along just fine. Rio loved that you and Rhea found friendship in one another. Your kids adored Rhea just as much as Marcus did you.

“Oh, you thought I was making this fire-ass pasta for you? Nope, Zaddy this for my oldest baby boy,” you teased Rio playfully.

“That’s fine! So long as I get to choose my dessert,” he rasped, his eyes scanning over your body.

Your eyes met, both nibbling at your bottom lip. Just as you were about to dive deeper into the topic, Alexa announced someone was at the front door. You tapped your phone screen, turning on the ring doorbell’s mic.

“Rhea, stop acting like you don’t have a key. Bring your beautiful self into this house.”

You smiled as she giggled her way through the front door.

“We’re in the kitchen,” Rio called out.

“Boy! Stop all that yelling. You wake that baby up and it’s your ass.”

Your husband kissed his teeth, “last I checked this was our house,” he mumbled, walking over to Marcus and pulling him into a bear hug. “What’s up, man?”

Marcus answered his question, immediately following with, “Can I go check on the baby? Where’s everybody else?”

“Rudeness. Are you forgetting something,” Rhea questioned her eager teenager.

She chuckled as he looked at her in confusion as she continued, “Your bonus mama is burning in this kitchen. Probably for you. Did you say hello? Or maybe thank you? Where is her loving,” Rhea jokingly scolded her son.

“Sorry, ma. He replied shyly, hugging you tightly and kissing your cheek. “Thank you for cooking my favorite food.”

“It’s cool handsome,” you started, pinching his cheek. “The kids are in the theater room and the baby is down for the night, but go on up and steal a little sugar.”

Just as he was about to excuse himself, Rhea interrupted him, “Not so fast young man. You’re not slick. Don’t you want to share the news?”

“Mami,” Marcus whined.

“That’s okay, I'll tell them. Go on, scaredy cat.”

Marcus made his escape as Rhea turned back to you and Rio. She bypassed him, linking her arm with yours.

“Come, chica. I’ve got some chisme for you.”

Your husband, the big baby he is, groaned, “Nice to see you too, Rhea. Why am I not included?”

“Are you not in the room? You are included, fool,” Rhea teased.

“Chris, baby. I love you, but hush. I'm trying to see some.”

Both women laughed at him as he rolled his eyes and went silent.

“ Marcus sat down with us sometime last week. Said he wanted to invite his lady friend over for dinner. Our baby has a girlfriend, sis.”

The two of you stared at one another, several seconds passed. As if he was expecting it, Rio sighed, running his hand down his face as the two of you started squealing like school girls.”

“Mama, Rhea, the baby,” he reminded the both of you.

You both clapped a hand over your mouths, silently giggling.

“What's her name? Have you met her? The parents?”

“Baby, chill,” Rio chuckled.

You looked at him, studying him for a moment. Head tilted, you questioned, “You already knew. Didn't you?”

He smirked, “You already know the answer to that, mama. You know I stay ten steps ahead.”

“He told you first,” Rhea questioned.

“Listen, he asked for advice on girls a while back. I suspected then he had his eye on somebody. I played it cool. If you ask too many questions, he’ll shut down. We had the talk. About a week after that. Marcus told me he was talking to someone.”

“The talk,” you and Rhea said in unison. “Should we be worried about where this is going?”

“Ladies relax. It's better to have it early. Just to be on the safe side.”

“You gave him condoms. Didn't you,” Rhea snarked.

“Are you ready to be a grandmother? I mean I’d be the coldest abuelo out here, but let's try to prevent that from happening.”

“He brought her home for dinner the other day. She's so sweet and shy. Her name is Isabella, but she goes by Isa. He's got his papi’s taste. She's Afrolatina, a beautiful young lady!”

“Okay! I see my boy! He found him a woman who embodies two of the most important women in his life,” Rio praised with pride.

“The mom seems to be well-rounded. Surely we don't have anything to worry about,” Rhea insisted.

“The both of you were sweet and shy when I first met you. Need I say more? Then there's those stories your mom told me about your teenage years,” he smirked toward you.

“Sneak one damn boy through your window and you never live it down. Kiss my ass, Christoper,” you cackled, flipping him the bird.

Rio puckered his lips, bending down, laughing as you mugged his forehead.

“Sis! Your ass was hot back in the day, huh?”

“Chill on my wife. Tell me, how old were you when we had Marcus?”

Rhea kissed her teeth, “He got a response for everything, huh,” she asked you. “Anyway! He wants you all to meet her. Can he invite her over for dinner tomorrow?”

Rio smiled at you bouncing on the balls of your feet.

“I take it our answer is yes, mama?”

After a stressful Saturday afternoon, Rio stepped into the foyer of his home. His eyes drifted shut for a moment as he welcomed the delicious smell of lemon herbs, and the smell of your perfume wafted through the air. Sandals tapped across the wooden floor, Rio’s lashes fluttered open, dancing at the sight of you meeting him at the front door.

“Hey Papa,” you started, smile faltering. You could sense the heaviness of his day. “Long day, baby,” you questioned.

His head tilted to the side, an appreciative smile playing at the corners of his mouth. Rio’s hands cupped your side pulling you into a tight hug as he buried his head in your neck. Breathing you in again, his lips tickled the sensitive spot behind your ear.

“Shit was hectic, but I’m sure some kisses would make me feel better,” he whispered in a sultry tone.

Your hands brushed against his chest, as you tip-toed to reach his lips. He chuckled at your struggle to reach his lips, meeting you the rest of the way. Your lips danced together in soft, slow strokes. The sound of footsteps speeding down the steps interrupted the lip lock.

“Ma! Pops! You’re not going to be doing all that in front of Isa, are you? Why’s it so quiet around here?”

You giggled as Rio reared his head back. “I’m sorry son, I didn’t know you paid bills around here. Y’all be forgetting this my house…our house,” he corrected when you lightly cleared your throat.

“Your siblings can be a lot. We wanted to have time to focus on getting to know your girlfriend. I managed to arrange a night with Nana. They’ll be back tomorrow. She can meet everybody next time we have her over. Don’t worry, baby. Papi and I promise to be on our best behavior,” you teased Marcus.

“I ain’t promising nothin’. Listen, I’ll kiss my wife all I want, bro. Don’t be mad I’m the only one getting kisses around here,” he joked, giving Marcus a playful shove.”

“Pops, chill on me. Who said I ain’t got it like that?”

Rio cackled, dapping Marcus up. The laughter between the two stopped abruptly when they saw you standing straight-faced, head tilted, and arms crossed.

“I’m pretty sure I can speak for your mother when I say this. You better be acting accordingly with that young lady. Nothing short of being respectful is acceptable. Understood?”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Your eyes landed on Rio, “Then I got you over here gassing him up.”

“My bad, mama. We’ll tighten up.”

“That’s what I thought,” you finished sauntering off to the kitchen.

 Rio turned back to Marcus and they both dapped each other up silently.

“It’s like that, son?”

“I learned from the best,” Marcus responded.

“My boy. Seriously though, not too much. Take things slowly. You have a lot of life to live. Don’t let thinking you're grown get you in trouble. You bring a baby home, and that’s ya ass. Papi can’t save you from the mama squad. If you can’t wait, do at least three things for me. Wrap it up, don’t do it in mine or your mom’s house, and don’t play with her feelings. You better plan on sticking around. Don’t be that guy, son. We’ve raised you better than that.”

“Yessir, I give you my word, pops.”

Rio embraced Marcus and gave his shoulders a firm squeeze as they pulled apart.

“You nervous,” Rio asked as the doorbell sounded.

“Just promise me you won’t let Ma pull out the photo albums.”

“Listen, I’m a man of many talents, but telling that woman not to do something almost always has the opposite effect. Ma listens when it counts,” he smirked, biting his lip.

“That’s information I honestly didn’t need to know, Dad.”

The first twenty minutes had been hilarious. You, Isa, and her mother all silently laughed at the way Isa’s father stumbled over his words while making introductions with Rio.

Apparently Marcus nor his girlfriend had taken the liberty of giving the poor man a heads up. He had suspected that he was going to assert himself as an overprotective father. One look at Marcus’ father and his bravado and puffed-out chest had deflated. Christopher wasn’t about to be checked by anyone and little did they know, neither were you. 

Dinner had gone by smoothly. The two of you succeeded in not embarrassing your son, as did her parents. Isa was a sweet, shy, and intelligent girl. You both loved her for Marcus. The teens had asked permission to have a movie night in the family theatre room. All parents agreed that it would be okay so long as it wasn’t unattended. You had even offered for Isa’s parents to join. Her father needed to finish up some work at home, and Rio along with Marcus, offered to drop her home in a few hours. 

As the parents you opted, to sit in the back row of home theatre seats to give them some sort of privacy. You didn’t want to crowd them too much. That and you knew with certainty that Rio was going to get handsy as soon as the lights dimmed. Twenty minutes of screen time had barely passed before his hand started a soft, tingling trail up your thigh. You allowed his fingers to make it inches away from the place he desired before swatting at him. His heated gaze met yours and the left corner of his mouth tilted up as he mouthed the word, “Why?”

Your head cocked to the side as you looked at him as if he were crazy. You sucked your teeth, pointing a finger in the direction of the kids. Rio wrapped his arm around your shoulders, bringing you closer to whisper in your ear, “Oh you really thought I was cold. You know why I pulled this blanket out, mama.” He laughed as you rolled your eyes, shoving him away from you. 

“Do that again and I’m sitting in my own lounger,” you sassed.

“All this space and you want to sit by yourself. Don’t be like that, mama.”

You had glanced in the direction of the children to see if they had overheard, but froze as you saw their hands inching closer to one another. Your hand tapped the top of Rio’s repetitively to get him to look. The two of you shared a smile at the innocence of the situation. Marcus looked back as the two of you tried to focus your attention elsewhere. The teen shook his head as his hand shifted away some. The two of you kissed your teeth and the sound echoed off the theatre walls as Marcus shook his head and Isa giggled.

It felt as if you had ruined the moment, and Rio attempted to correct the situation. Clearing his throat he asked the room, “Anybody want chips? Popcorn? Something to drink?”

You caught on and joined in, “I could go for some ice water and we can share a snack babe. Let’s go round up some refreshments.”

The kids had started to decline, but the two of you left in a hurry.

Rio propped himself against the kitchen island with his hands clasped. You crept towards your husband smirking. Your arms wrapped around his neck and you asked, “How much time should we give them to be unsupervised?”

“That depends, mama. Are you trying to be a responsible parent or a laid-back one? Responsible would be in the realm of maybe five or ten minutes. Laidback–about twenty or so.”

Rio’s hands traveled the length of your back, down to your plush backside. With a gentle squeeze, he continued, “I’m leaning towards laidback, mama,” he rasped. “Maybe we can take that time alone to–connect ourselves.”

“You truly have a one-track mind. We are not about to do anything with a guest in the house. Do you know what teenagers can do in twenty or so minutes?”

“Mama, what’s the most that could happen?”

“Our last child happened in twenty minutes, Rio.”

“We were pressed for time, and I was down bad for you that night, mama.”

“You’re always down bad for me. Even at this moment, you are.”

“No lies told. If you know that, stop playing. C’mere, mama.”

Rio nibbled at your neck, even as you continued to protest, “Rio, seriously. We should head back soon.”

“C’mon, mama. Let that boy cook for a few minutes. I told him to take things slow and to never do anything like that under his mom’s or our roof.”

“Oh, and you think that’s gon’ stop him?”

“Why wouldn’t it?”

“This is coming from the man, that was giving me backshots under his grandmother’s roof last Christmas.”

“We’re married with a ton of children. Trust and believe, she knows you’re getting handed pipe left and right, mama.”

“You get on my damn nerves. Always got a response–.”

The sentence came to a halt as Rio’s hand slipped into the opening of your dress, tugging a nipple through the silk material of your bra.

“F-fuck, Rio, don’t.”

His lips hovered over yours. The minty freshness of his breath fanning across your bottom lip. He nipped at it before asking, “You really want me to stop, mama?”

“Pantry, now.”

With those two words, Rio picked you up, legs wrapping around his waist, as he carried you to the destination. The door softly clicked closed, as he pressed you against some of the shelving. Your lips collided, tongues stroking one another, battling for dominance. The hem of your dress shifted upward, bunching at your waist. Rio groaned as his tented dark wash jeans ground against your damp panties. A moan slipped from your lips and he shushed you.

“Gotta keep quiet baby,” he whispered as his lips moved to suck at your throat.

His lips continued to nip and suck at your flesh. His long muscular fingers tugged your panties to the side as two fingers massaged your folds before gliding in to slowly stretch you out. The delicious feeling turned you into a whimpering mess as your hips began to rock against his movements.

“Yeah, just like that, mama. Are you gonna be my good girl and come all over my fingers? Yeah, you are. Aren’t you?”

He leaned in, tucking into the side of your neck, and whispered, “Bite down on my shoulder if you need to, darling.”

One of your hands slipped under his shirt as your nails scratched at his skin. You leaned back and pleaded, “Choke me, Daddy. Keep me quiet.”

The minute his hand wrapped around your throat, Rio added a third finger, thrusting in quick, deep strokes. His lips pecked your lips as he groaned, “Come for me, mama. Make a mess all over my fingers.”

All you needed was one last stroke to send you over the edge, but everything came to a halt as you both heard footsteps coming toward the kitchen. The two of you broke apart, fixing your clothes at the speed of lightning. The moment the knob to the pantry door turned, Rio snatched it open, pulling it closed with a bag of chips and a case of soda under his arm.

Marcus eyed his father suspiciously before speaking, “Isa got thirsty and you two were taking forever. So I came to get her some fruit snacks and a soda.”

Rio handed him a soda and explained, “We were coming back. Your pops negotiated a little alone time for ya. Did anything interesting happen?”

Marcus blushed a bit and responded, “Pops, can’t we talk about this later? I don’t want to keep Isa waiting.”

“You right man. Here take this soda and I’ll bring the fruit snacks and the rest of the stuff. Ma and I will be right in. She had to take care of something right quick.”

“Alright, Pops. Thanks.”

Marcus made it a few steps out of the kitchen before ducking his head back around the corner. Rio had started to turn back toward the pantry as he spoke up, “Pops? Tell Ma she can come out of the pantry now. Next time aim for a place that doesn’t house the food we eat.”

“Yeah, okay, wiseass. You’ll understand when you get older and have your own meddlesome ass kids. Take your lady her beverage and mind your business. You just couldn’t let your daddy cook in peace. Could you son?”

You were mortified and could barely look your bonus son in the eye for days.

Wholesome fluff

Quickly diving behind a pillar Deadlock let out a long sigh before looking over his shoulder, he wasn't followed that's good. Focusing on his pervious task, he then jumped down from the temple's ledge and began heading further into the city. If he remembered correctly Ratchet should be at the south docks, not their normal meeting place but with Soundwave doubling his patrols it was a needed risk to stay hidden.

After a short drive Deadlock stood t the foot of the gates, with one finale glance over his shoulder the then wedged himself through the small gap with a grunt. Curse his bulky shoulder kibble. Once inside he began heading for a run down hanger, its roof half torn away while its walls were cracking and crumbling. Deadlock didn't blame anyone for not coming here, this place was falling apart and will collapse any day now, no wonder Ratchet chose this place. Just as he rounds the corner of the hanger the Decepticon comes face to face with the medic, who was supporting his famous scowl on his face.

"Sorry, I'm late Doc, ran into some traffic on the way here" Deadlock smirked to himself as he put down his gun against the wall. "So, why do you want to see me again so soon? I thought last week would be our only frag session this month, or are you that horny Ratty?"

Ratchet's face turned a bright shade of pink as the medic softly grumbled crossing his arms. "In your dreams, Deadlock" The medic then looked away his scowl turning into a frown. "There's someone I want you to meet..."

"Oh?" Deadlock's optics widened a little as his posture stiffened as he remained alert.

Ratchet then turned away heading to a pile of boxes reaching for something. When the medic returned he was a white and red sparkling in his arms, their optics were a bright shade of teal blue that where hidden by a visor far to big for their helm. The sparkling smiled wide cooing, Deadlock softly gasped spotting small fangs in the sparkling's maw. "This is First Aid, your son..."

The decepticon felt his spark beat faster while he stood there completely stunned, he had a son? He sired a sparkling in the middle of a war? "W-when did...how old is he?" Deadlock leaned forwards reaching out a servo allowing First Aid to grab hold.

"He's a couple Vorns old by now" Ratchet spoke as he his optics lowly dimmed with sorrow and guilt. "I didn't tell you sooner because I wasn't sure how'd you react... If you want nothing to with us I'm fine with that, at lest you know you have a sparkling that's all I care about"

Deadlock just blinked shocked that Ratchet would even think about that. He knew deep down he wasn't the best example of a sire, but he was determined to prove otherwise. "Ratchet..." Deadlock then pulled both of them into a warm embrace while being careful not to crush First Aid with the hug. "I never could leave you both alone like that. I know I can't be with you everyday but I'll do everything in my power to keep you both safe"

Ratchet softly smiled before leaning his helm against Deadlock's before speaking. "Heh, glad to see you so serious, even if you're a little brash" He then placed a little kiss on his partner's nose before pulling First Aid closer to his chest. "What do you think kid, should we give your bolt headed sire a chance?"

First Aid just happily beeped already nuzzling closer to both his sire and carrier. His visor had brightened a few shades signalling the young sparkling's joy.

"Seems he made his choice, Ratty" Deadlock had a soft smile on his face. "Well, will you let me be at your side?"

Ratchet softly chuckled leaning into the warm embrace. "Sure, lets see if we can make this thing work, for First Aid's shake"

Kool Kat!!!!!

Ratchlock baby for the win!!! And in the middle of war??!!!! I LOVE IT!!!

[lupamoe]

Hi hi~! first thing first, i just finished binge reading your fic and it is absolutely amazing! we rlly need more fics on Idol!Aqua.

ONK x DoD is not a crossover i ever expected, but well, considering they're both about idols, i guess it is to be expected. also i love you (/p) for making really, really, long chapters because i could not get enough of your fic.

moving on, i can tell that you did actual research for this fic and i am very impressed by how much details and information you managed to fit into your fic. i love how even though this is a fanfic, you also did a deep dive of the difference of idol cultures between Japan and Korea (I'll need to read more on that later...) and the entertainment industries in general. it's really interesting to read about them, and now you're making me want to do a deep research about this!!

and then, when i first saw the fic i just clicked on it bc of the summary, it was only when i've finished now that i looked closely at the tags and- oh wow, we are in for an absolute ride of an angst rollercoaster, huh. i really like it when people who wrote fics delve into more heavy topics, especially fics about medias centered around the entertainment industries like ONK and DoD!

i read through one of your ask posts, and someone mentioned about sexualising minors in Japan, and, yeah, can't wait to see the DoD cast's reaction to Aqua being so indifferent and used to this kind of things (and if/when Aqua debuted with TeStar he'll be the youngest/maknae, i can see the older members being overprotective of him).

Also!! Twin idols!! ever since reading your fic i've been listening to Idol (the song) again and realised how it really fits with RoD. will B-Komachi have a collab with TeStar since Ruby and Aqua are siblings? it would be a very chaotic collab if they do lol.

anyways! sorry for the long ask! just wanted to say how much i love RoD and i can't wait for the next chapter!!

Aww, thank you so much for this!!

And don’t worry, I love long asks!!!! especially ones like this where I can tell you really had fun reading!

Idol!Aqua is such an underexplored concept, right?? And when I thought about which system fic would fit him best… well, Debut or Die was just too perfect. Glad to hear the long chapters are a plus—I just get carried away writing, so they end up long by accident LOL. i understand that turns of ALOOTTT of people but I'm still super happy some people are into it!

And YES, I did a ton of research! Thank you so much for acknowledging it! I had fun with researching the difference in idol culture between Japan and Korea. It's is really different, and it felt weird not to acknowledge that since Aqua would be navigating both. There are also so many unspoken rules and industry norms that don’t get covered in mainstream discussions, so I tried to slip those in too. If my fic made you want to do a deep dive, then mission accomplished~! (I'm really happy someone is interested in it like me)

As for the angst rollercoaster… yep. Buckle up. ONK and DoD already have so much built-in angst, so putting them together basically writes itself. Aqua being indifferent to the darker side of the industry compared to the DoD cast? Oh yeah, that’s definitely something I want to explore more. I can already imagine TeStar’s members being like “?? Aqua, are you okay??” while he’s just, completely unfazed. (Maknae Aqua = instant overprotective older members, no doubt.)

Ohhh yeah, that’s definitely something I want to explore more. The way the Japanese idol industry treats minors vs. how the Korean industry does it is wildly different. Not that K-pop is perfect (very far from it), but there’s at least a stronger push for protecting underage idols, while Japan has so many issues with the normalization of sexualizing minors, especially in idol culture.

Aqua, who grew up in that environment, would just see it as “normal,” while the DoD cast (especially the older members) would probably be horrified. Like, imagine Ryu Chungwoo, who is all about professionalism and ethical leadership, hearing Aqua casually talk about the kind of photo shoots or “fanservice” expected of him in Japan. Or Ahyeon, who is so gentle and protective, realizing Aqua doesn’t even think twice about it because it's just how things are. And if Aqua debuts with TeStar as the maknae? Oh, he’s getting adopted whether he likes it or not. The older members would 100% rally around him, trying to shelter him from all of it.

Of course, Aqua, being Aqua, would just be like “?? I don’t see the problem,” because he’s already so used to the industry in Japan, But that’s exactly why it’ll hit harder when the others react. There’s something really compelling about putting him in an environment where people genuinely want to protect him and seeing how he deals with that.

So yeah, this is definitely going to come up in the fic at some point. I can already picture the scene where someone in TeStar tries to explain why the way idols (and Aqua to an extent) treated in Japan isn’t okay, and Aqua just stares at them like they’re speaking another language. Like, 'wtf you're talking about I've grew up with this' Fun times ahead~!

Twin idols!!! I love writing Ruby and Aqua’s dynamic. Their sibling energy is chaotic and real. And a B-Komachi x TeStar collab… Oh god. It would be so unhinged. The stage would be on fire (metaphorically… hopefully). And yes, Idol (the song) is a perfect fit. RoD is basically one long analysis of what it means to be an idol in different contexts, so that song hits even harder.

Thank you again for this ask, seriously!! It made my whole day! I’m working on the next chapter, so I hope you’ll enjoy what’s coming next~! (๑>◡<๑) 💖

Nabi Notices (Mar 26, 2025)

Yesterday was incredibly busy so this was delayed a day, but that's ok. I'm sure it will happen from time to time. This week has prompted me to think a lot about head canons. Particularly, the different reasons people make them and what makes it fun (or not fun) for people.

For me, I create most of my head canons when my brain gets stuck. I use them to fill in narrative gaps, close out narrative threads, make sense of things, or explain things that I noticed but were never discussed (like tattoos). It's not so much about "fun" for me (although I do have a LOT of fun making them), it's because I can't get my brain to move forward otherwise. I also make them when I just wanted more to the story (like Fadel/Style wedding head canon). When the writing is really strong, the characters are well-developed, and I felt like I got strong resolution - then I don't make them. I have very few head canons for some of my favorite shows - they gave me everything I needed on their own. That said - I'll read any fanfiction people want to offer even on those 😂.

The Things I Noticed This Week:

Fabulous Fit

I was predicting Pai from Flirt Milk would take the "fit" win this week (as he almost always delivers one outfit I love), but then Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist gave me another character this week to watch for style. I particularly enjoyed this sweater:

I love a good cardigan/sweater. It's why I enjoyed Phu's wardrobe so much in The Boy Next World. The hearts are upside down, but I'm going to say that's because Sant hasn't figured out what his heart wants yet. I was also pretty sure it was the same sweater Phu wore (in a different color scheme), and @dribs-and-drabbles confirmed it was. I think I like this yellow version best.

Fascinating Find

I went on a lot of deep dives this week, but many of them weren't prompted by a particular show. They were prompted by @iguessitsjustme. Thanks to one of their comments, I got to learn A LOT about spoon theory.

And now I'm busy assessing all of my characters with that in mind. Obviously Da-on from Secret Relationships was tired and stressed. He could not have had that many spoons. I've decided that explains a lot of his puzzling actions. It's officially added to my head canon now.

Fantastic Frame

Perfect 10 Liners isn't a show that comes to mind when I think "amazing visuals". They don't really play around a lot with light and most of the framing is very straightforward. There's nothing "amazing" about this frame, but this is the visual that is stuck in my head this week.

It was the furthest apart Faifa and Wine had ever been on this rooftop. Wine hitting his knees as he couldn't find Faifa, and Faifa who was distressed himself and could've stayed hidden choosing to expose himself. I can make up a reason for Faifa being in the light here, but it's not a clear visual story. But for some reason, I REALLY liked it. There was distance, but it was momentary and dealt with by BOTH people taking action. So yeah, probably more due to the narrative than the frame itself. But this is my favorite visual of the week.

Fun Fluorish

I had almost given up on My Golden Blood during Episode 1. I wasn't sure I'd even put it on as a background watch. But I'm glad I did, because my man Tong threw GARLIC BREAD at a vampire. 🤣

It was an excellent touch of comedy in a show that needs comedy to make it work. I still don't know that I'll always watch it. I'm not vibing yet, but I haven't counted it out.

Favorite Fragment

My favorite dialogue this week came from the finale of Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo.

It was a close contest with some of the dialogue in When Live Gives You Tangerines. However, this line just felt like something I'd say in a variety of situations. It's really similar in some ways to the quote on my blog header. I've already used this line once this week as a joke response to my daughter and once in a post. I'm going to have to be careful not to overuse this screenshot.

My Queue for the Coming Week:

Well, true to form I didn't stick to my list last week. I went off the rails and watched a bunch of other stuff 😅, because I wanted comfort shows this past week. So here's the "I probably will watch it" list for this week. The bolded one(s) are the only one(s) I KNOW for certain I will watch.

Perfect 10 Liners (Ep 23)

Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist (Ep 2)

Top Form

Love for Love's Sake (Ep 1)

Make Up With Mud (Ep 4)

When Life Gives You Tangerines (Ep 2)

Anything else is up to whim and fancy.

[nalyra-dreaming]

Hey!

I adore your work, my day gets better every time I see you post a new chapter.

Maybe I'm super late, but I just realized that scene where Louis and Claudia are standing outside while Lestat is telling Antoinette he loves her could not have happened as it was shown. Lestat would have felt them standing there, their heartbeats, felt Louis's presence like Louis felt his in the theater.

Hey!

Ahhhh that makes me so happy, so glad you like! 🥰

:) And yeah, the hotel. One of the many... discrepancies and unlikely events we were told.

I pointed a few discrepancies about Antoinette (and the hotel) out here:

In there is also the link to the "car" post, in which I made the observation that Lestat knew where they were - but Louis and Claudia did not notice him.

Lestat would have felt them, yes. Louis would have, too, but I think Louis always blamed the "liquid feeling" on his own obsession with Lestat, not something actually existing like an obscure vampire bond :) (I'll get into that in my fic still, too :)) - and Claudia likely suppressed hers at that point at least.

I think Louis only was able to realize some aspects of the bond after Madeleine, and then when he knew Lestat was at the theater it clicked into place (to an extent). And his own capabilities were severely weakened by his diet of course :/

Now that we know Louis' tale has been edited the "discrepancies" and mischaracterizations and literal "plot holes" if you will make a lot of sense - it was an attempt to color Louis' story in a certain light, to paint Lestat in a certain light - a light very similar to the one Armand used in his little fanfiction flashback in 2x03.

As such I highly doubt the hotel scene happened like that at all - I think it is far more likely that Louis was either told about it later by Claudia and envisioned it, or it was planted into his mind because of the circumstances and the intent behind the editing.

Hope you'll continue to like dear!!!

This will be a long post but I've been thinking about this since last night.

I get a pit in my stomach when I think about the new Fallout TV show and the chance TES may get a show if the Fallout show is super successful.

I've been hearing the show has been pretty good, but ive also heard some grim rumblings and worries about certain directions Bethesda/Amazon are taking lore-wise in the Fallout show. Apparently Todd has said everything in the show is canon.

I've not watched it myself as I'm not a huge TV watcher in general, but I don't know if I want to see Bethesda or an outside studio make massive changes to TES lore which affect both past and future installments in TES purely for the sake of "making good TV".

I am most certainly not a "modern Bethesda" hater or of the opinion that modern TES/Fallout games are bad. I pretty much love them all. (I even enjoyed Starfield, huge glaring flaws and all!)

I genuinely believe they are trying their best to make fun games. I also understand they have had a lot of struggles over the past decade+, particularly in company direction and budgeting of necessary resources (pre-Microsoft acquisition).

The old Zenimax upper management was awful (Trumps brother was literally on the Zenimax board of Directors before he died). And infamously refused budget allocations towards serious game engine improvements that were desperately needed. Bethesda has had alot of struggles but I feel they have always tried to do the best they can, even if the final result is middling.

I am also not a Todd hater. Even if he's not necessarily the best game designer, he has a lot of heart and passion and seems to genuinely care about Bethesda and its employees. I am glad he seems to have a genuinely good relationship with Microsoft and I have high hopes for Bethesda's future in the long term.

All that said, there are just certain changes that can happen when "Hollywood comes knocking" per se., even if most of the main creative decisions still come from Bethesda. TV shows can be fantastic and lauded with praise but if they are based on an established property with established lore, they often ultimately go in creative directions which negates the lore and other non-TV entries in the series.

Just look at GOT. It started off amazingly, and GRR Martin had a direct hand in all the early series. It was the best show on TV until suddenly GRR was no longer involved directly and the show runners started making their own decisions. They started ignoring established lore and making "changes and improvements" which nose dived the series by the end.

Perhaps I am paranoid, but I can see something similar happening to Fallout if the show is big and keeps getting new series. Furthermore, I hold a deep dread that TES may be next. Just think, how many people talk about GOT anymore? How many people are hyped for the next book(s) in the series? The books didn't get bad right? Only the TV show did.

But that's my point. If Fallout or TES have these big smash initial hits on TV but begin to fail after a while, it damages the series as a whole, not just the TV show. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see TES/Fallout TV shows be nothing but great. I just worry as I've been hearing of major major lore changes being made by the Fallout show. These changes are irrevocable and utterly change the lore of that series, and not necessarily for the better. I'll try to refrain from further judgment on that, but I'll leave with this question:

What if TES had a super quality and popular TV show which negated large parts of pre-Oblivion lore? Suddenly, due to the show, innumerable people/places/things which were iconic to the TES series were no longer around or perhaps not even canon anymore? What if those things were just lost or written off for the sake of a TV show?

As a fan of TES, and maybe even of that TV show, how would that make you feel?

I'm am not trying to stir controversy here, but I think we as a fandom need to have more public discussions about this. We also need to be prepared to not dump on any new changes to the series or lore without giving them a fair shake. Something being "new and different" does mean its awful. Changes can be good or bad but they must be carefully considered.

I hope this new Fallout show's premiere will provide us a good chance to consider the future of TES media and lore outside the games before any changes are announced or made.

It's nearing the end of the year and I'm thrilled to have finished up my little Thunderbirds Reading Challenge yesterday! It's been a whirlwind year with major lows but also some cherished highs and I'm still finding my feet a bit but we're getting there <3 I'm looking forward to 2025 and getting to dive into this world that I love once more!

I want to chatter about my thoughts on each book so I'll do that under the cut <3

Also this is my second year of making prompts for myself and I do plan on doing it again next year, so let me know if you want to be tagged in a post for that.

On to the books!

Thunderbird One: A book with silver lettering on the spine

My pick for this was A Zoologist's Guide To The Galaxy by Arik Kershenbaum. This was a book a biology teacher friend had recommended to me and so when I spotted it at the library and saw the silver lettering, it felt like it was meant to be and I snagged it! And I'm so glad she did tell me to read this one - I had so much fun dipping into the concepts and ideas this book presented. It was a really interesting way to explore key biological principals in the context of evolution on an alien world.

My favourite chapters were related to movement and communication, but there were so many fascinating tidbits of information and incredible solutions that life on Earth has come up with, that is gave me a whole new appreciation for the variation present on our own world!

This book has gone on my wishlist to purchase and I think everyone with an interest in natural sciences should check it out :D

Thunderbird Two: A book featuring a musician

For this I chose the appropriately named The Instrumentalist by Harriet Constable. This caught my eye as a new release and it was the setting that interested me most. The focus was on Venice, in the time period when Antonio Vivaldi was active, and that setting has some nostalgia for me as my family owned a CD audio drama set in the same period and place, designed to introduce children to Vivaldi's music. Not only that, but I was fortunate enough to visit Venice this year and so the environment was fresh in my mind.

This novel is based on Anna Maria della Pieta who was an orphan and violinist taught by Vivaldi. I've thought about this book a lot since I've read it - it's beautiful and the depictions of how music can consume you is truly stunning, but it's not a beautiful book, it's brutal and dark and doesn't shy away from the struggle that women in the time and place in which it's set. More than music, I think this book covered the soaring heights and despicable depths of what humanity can be, and demonstrates how easily one could become trapped by their circumstances.

As an aside, I did also cry when I read the author's acknowledgements at the end, they were absolutely stunning and I read them out loud to my friend and wow they hit home. I really enjoyed this one too <3

Thunderbird Three: A book you had to read in high school

I knew The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien would be the book I chose as soon as I wrote the prompt. I first read this book in my final year of high school as part of a study on short stories, and it was one of my first real exposures to the Vietnam War. I knew the bare bones of the conflict secondhand from friends who were studying history, I'd heard it mentioned a dozen times in TV and books, but in NZ when it came to military history we spent a lot more time discussing the events of Gallipoli and the ANZACs in WWI and of course the Holocaust in WWII (We can have a discussion another day about why we didn't even learn about the New Zealand Wars but whatever). So when I read it for the first time, I was struck by the raw brutality of it all, and it made a deep impact on me.

Now that I'm older, more than a decade on, I wanted to revisit it.

I know a lot of people who would want to analyse this book with a political framework, and I don't think it's wrong to do so, but I do think that if you do that you miss what this book is. The non-linear nature, the ruminating and revisions inherent in every story told, the oscillation between being blase and being horrifically scared and being alight with a monstrous rage and so on and so on and so on. It's a confronting novel and the way it meanders and feels so pointless at times was something I really struggled with this time around.

But then it's a story about drafted soldiers, trapped in a war they didn't choose and couldn't escape. What else could it have been?

Thunderbird Four: A book exploring somewhere new

The Apollo Missions: In the Astronaut's Own Words by Rod Pyle was not what I expected my pick to be. Even after I read it, I didn't immediately realise how well this fit the prompt. It's such a cool little nonfiction book, taking the transcripts of key points during each of the Apollo missions and pairing the astronauts' awe and wonder (and humour!) with photos from each of the missions was such a cool way to learn more about the goals, the successes and the failures faced in exploring the lunar surface for the first time.

It's such an incredible project that I still can't believe NASA achieved and I love learning more about it <3

(And from a Thunderbirds perspective... it was very fun to see some familiar names cropping up too!)

Thunderbird Five: A book featuring a non-organic lifeform

I won't lie, I 100% thought I was going to reread Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir for this one. But then, a book that had been sitting on my shelf for two years found its way into my suitcase when I went to Italy, and to my surprise it featured a non-organic lifeform! Kind of. I'm still not really sure what exactly the Fremda were...

I don't remember very much of this book to be honest. While the premise was interesting, I found the story got pretty bogged down fairly quickly and although it was fine and I enjoyed it enough to finish, I knew I wouldn't be continuing on with the series.

They can't all be winners I suppose ahaha

Anyway, that's my Thunderbirds Reading Challenge for 2024 all wrapped up! Hope you enjoyed a little foray into something different and once again let me know if you want to be tagged when I make the 2025 prompts <3

The Day We Learned to Argue ~Part 3~

This is simply a fan translation and is not intended as a replacement for the game. Expect grammatical errors.

Silvio: "They haven't realized that we're princes. Once they find out, there's a better way to use us than just selling us off."

Silvio: "Especially with you as a hostage, the king would do anything to negotiate."

Valerio: "..........."

Silvio: "Considering the circumstances, the treatment we're getting now is a stroke of luck."

Silvio: "They lumped the two of us together in a treasure storage at the back of the cave with just one lazy guard."

Silvio: "This is just careless. With this, we might find a way to escape."

Valerio: "But even if we manage to deal with the guard, there's only one way out of the cave."

Valerio: "There are plenty of strong people out there, so I doubt we could escape."

Silvio: "See that pool of water? It's seawater. I did some research on these caves beforehand. If you dive and swim, you can get to the sea. You can escape from here."

Valerio: "Then, let's go together—"

Silvio: "It's impossible for me. It's too narrow."

Silvio: "But you can make it."

Silvio stared at him intently, and Valerio's eyes trembled.

Valerio: "But..."

Silvio: "Calm down. There's a patrol route a little further from here. Do you know about it?"

Valerio: "I think I do."

Silvio: "Wait there. After a while, the guards will pass by, then you could ask for help."

Silvio: "Once you're safe, and if you really intend to help me, ask them to send their men to this side."

Valerio: "But are you going to be okay, brother? What if they find out you're alone?"

Silvio: "It's better than waiting here to be sold off as a pair."

Valerio: "I understand."

Silvio: "Once you're mentally prepared, go."

Just as Silvio quietly uttered those words, the man who had been lying down sat up.

Man: "What are you two whispering about over there? Come closer."

Man: "You're valuable merchandise. If you behave, nothing bad will happen to you."

Valerio: ".........."

Silvio: "I'll distract him."

Silvio: "When you're ready, dive. But if you think it's impossible, turn back immediately."

Valerio: "Okay."

Silvio signaled to Valerio and took a deep breath.

Silvio: "Hey, you idiot brother! It's your fault we got caught in this mess. Quit whimpering!"

Silvio: "I don't want to see your face anymore. Get lost!"

Man: "What's going on?"

Silvio: "This guy's just annoying. He's pissing me off."

As Silvio spoke, he walked over to the man.

Silvio: "Anyway, he's always..."

Listening to Silvio's voice from behind, Valerio took a deep breath.

Having made up his mind, he dove into the cold water and passed through a narrow gap. As he continued to swim alone in the dark, he saw a light and followed it.

Even after swimming to shore, Valerio, with his tired body, didn't rest and started running on the sandy beach.

Meanwhile, inside the dim cave一

Man: "Hmm, where's the other one?"

Noticing the absence of any sound, the man suddenly looked around the cave.

Man: "Is he really here? Hey, kid, try calling your little brother."

Silvio: "I don't know, and I don't care."

The man, eyeing Silvio, raised an eyebrow and approached.

Man: "What are you hiding? Spit it out! Don't play dumb with me!"

Silvio: "..........."

Silvio remained silent, and just as the man raised his fist in the air一

Valerio: "Brother!"

Valerio: "Um, I slipped and fell in the water! Help!"

Silvio's eyes widened as he heard a voice coming from the back.

Man: "What? He's here, after all. Tricky bastard."

As the man lowered his fist, Silvio sprinted toward the source of the voice.

Silvio: "You..."

Seeing Valerio standing there drenched, he relaxed and let out a sigh of relief.

Valerio: "I'm glad I made it back before getting caught."

Silvio: "Yeah, right! Why the hell did you come back!?"

Valerio: "Why? To prevent things from getting worse."

Valerio: "Don't worry; I've informed the guards properly. I even gave them my handkerchief with my name on it, so that everything would go smoothly."

Silvio: "Even so, you should know that returning here is dangerous."

Valerio: "That goes for you too."

Silvio: "I'm stronger than you! Don't lump us together, you stupid brother."

Silvio: "I'll become strong enough to defeat them soon, unlike you."

Valerio: "I can become strong, too! Just wait and see!"

Silvio: "You'll never be able to do it if you're a crybaby and a wimp. But hey, you can run away again."

Valerio: "No! I promised you at the beginning that I wouldn't run away."

Silvio: "Shut up! Act like a proper little brother and listen for once!"

Valerio: "You're not a good brother, so why would I listen to you!?"

Silvio: "Tch. You're always so whiny."

Valerio: "I promised not to cry. Besides, I stopped whining."

Silvio: "You act like you're all grown up, but you're just a kid."

Valerio: "You're a kid, too. We're only two years apart, so I'll catch up soon."

Silvio: "Even if you catch up to me, at that time, I'll be two years older. Stupid."

Valerio: "By the time we're adults, a two-year age gap won't matter much."

Silvio: "You don't know about that."

Man: "Hey, you brats, shut up!"

Valerio & Silvio: “..........”

Valerio and Silvio exchanged glances before lowering their voices and continuing.

Silvio: "If you play your cards right, the guards will be here shortly."

Silvio: "All we have to do is protect ourselves from being taken hostage. Got it?"

Valerio: "Okay. We just need to focus on getting out of here without being caught by those men."

Silvio: "Let's come up with a plan. First, let's stand back to back so we won't be surrounded. And then..."

The guards arrived at the cave shortly afterward.

Following the plan they had prepared in advance, the two of them sprinted through the cave, protecting each other's backs, and were rescued by the guards.

The thieves were captured, the rumors about monsters disappeared, and the seaside returned to being a fun playground for the town's children.

Even after the resolution of the incident, Valerio and Silvio's relationship remained that of "quarrelsome brothers."

But if there was one thing that had changed一

Silvio: “Damn it, you stepped on my foot when the bandit attacked earlier, didn’t you? Thanks to you, I almost died.”

Valerio: “You’re one to talk! You head-butted me while trying to dodge them!”

Silvio: “A little nosebleed won't hurt you. I was on the verge of death, you know?”

Silvio: “They almost got me when I stumbled.”

Valerio: “You could have quickly fixed your posture. You’re two years older than me, so you should’ve been able to handle that.”

When Silvio saw Valerio cheekily retorting instead of crying, he lowered his face and secretly smiled.

---------Flashback Ends--------

Rio: "Alright, just as I thought, it was an easy victory."

Silvio: "I made this guy talk. It seems they've hidden the stolen jewelry in this cabin."

Silvio tossed the man he had grabbed by the collar onto the ground.

Rio: "I see. In that case, let's confirm that first and then contact Lord Sariel."

Rio: "By the way, the fact that you're here means this might be related to Benitoite."

Silvio: "There's no point in hiding it. As you said, these guys are Benitoite thugs."

Silvio: "But in addition to the thugs, there are also nobles from Benitoite and Rhodolite involved in this case."

Silvio: "I want to use this opportunity to expose and emphasize the responsibility of both sides. Hey, mutt, lend me a hand."

Rio: "I don't want to. Why should I?"

Silvio: "The Rhodolite noble involved in this incident is the guy who was hitting on that woman before."

Rio: "I'll do it! Let's catch him quickly and settle this!"

Rio: "I'll put my heart into it if it's for my master. There won't be any mistakes, I promise."

Silvio: "Whatever. But I agree that there's no room for mistakes."

Silvio: "I'll take command. Work your ass off, damn mutt."

By cooperating, the power of the brothers multiplied. They can defeat any opponent and overcome any difficulty. They may not be aware of it now, but they will surely realize it one day.

Meet, Honey Sugar

So the votes were in and you guys all voted that you wanted to know more about Honey, so here is my blog post about her (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠) also yes I am posting this before I post those requests I did for The let me draw You're welcome home OC box thing I only have one more character to draw and then I'll be finished and I will post it Because this will be my proudest work of drawing six characters with lots of detail into these boxes :) It was a lot of fun practice but until then I hope you enjoy this post in the meantime

HOW SHE BECAME TO BE!:

I recently made Honey last year A lot of my OCs I made last year but they have stuck with me since then which is the first for me in Oh season general usually a lot of times I make one off characters. But there's something special about these characters I just Don't know how to explain it but I think this is the first time I've actually felt a deep connection with something that I created like an OC because usually my OC's had never really had a deep connection with me they were always just one offs or a few weeks I was connected with them but My current OCs very connected Well enough yapping about this let me tell you about Honey.

So at the beginning of the year originally Honey was a one off character that I made for roleplay me and my friend were role playing some Welcome Home stuff and we needed a relationship for Howdy we did not know who to ship him with so we decided to quickly create a character that would be perfect for the prompt that we were doing So I decided to make a quick baker character that would have her bakery right next to Howdy and they would have like a very competitive type of relationship because they're both selling goods she's selling breads, sweets ect And of course him selling general goods. They decided to have a competition on who can make the most sales which would be Howdy's processed bread from a factory versus honey baked goods like freshly baked stuff but of course Honey wins Because everybody's going to want fresh versus overly processed bread So of course since she won she could name whatever she wanted for a prize so she said take me out to dinner and when I kept playing her for this relationship Howdy which their whole relationship was based on teasing and her pointing out the obvious in his flaws and a snarky / funny way but they balanced each other out She was sweet but also spicy, I kept developing her character more and more she wasn't just this baker chick anymore She was becoming a character and then that's when I realized Oh my God I love this OC so much So I just had to make her as her own character.

Here was the first rendition of honey when I first drew her and when my art wasn't the best I'm glad I improved lol So I had the basic idea that she was going to be Eddie's cousin as well as a love interest for Howdy in me and Friends RP So originally I wanted her to look very cute almost cottage core-esque you can say and the reason why she was wearing bee earrings and a necklace was because of her name being Honey originally she was about to be a bee as well but I decided not to make her a bee Because it was difficult for me to draw and because I thought it was more of a fun dynamic with Howdy to have her being a humanoid puppet versus a bug type puppet but yeah a lot has changed from her design like for example I did change up the color palette because I thought the colors look dreadful together in this I mean in their own way they do look okay but I much prefer her current color palette then this old color palette I had for her and the hair I like her curly bob a lot more than the Bob with a braid that I originally gave her Plus her eyes don't look soulless anymore like it does here lol

I know you've seen these previous two pictures before but I'm going to a really like deep dive into how I designed the character as well as explaining the character lol So this was her second rendition and her most current rendition actually as you could see in the newer piece on top I did a new color palette a whole new style for her but I did kept some elements of the old one like her coloring for her felt and her nose shape and somewhat of her eye shape I closed her eyes I decided to fix her hair make it more of a curlier bob I gave her flowers to add more to that cottage court s look and by the way the dress is actually in apron dress If you took off the actual apron part of the dress it would actually just be a white '70s peasant style blouse with a pink peasant style skirt with a petticoat underneath this is my most favorite rendition of her and I'm probably going to keep it like this unless I decide to experiment with her outfits for different seasons which I'm planning to do with all my characters.

Here's a close-up of slightly older rendition of how I used to draw her face before now I made it no tip on the bottom and I made the nose all a little bit more dynamic but still the same ol sweet Honey So now I'm going to talk about some interesting facts about honey

FACTS ABOUT HONEY:

Honey Sugar It's not a nickname It is actually her real name that her parents gave her that everybody assumes it's just a nickname or just her trying to be unique but no it's actually her real name

She has a southern accent

She's 23

Honey grew up in a bakery Her mother is Southern and her father is French So she had a very strict pastry like upbringing so she is very particular about how things are done especially when you have a French pastry stuff as a father

Honey is type 1 diabetic She usually has really low blood sugar and I like to think as she bakes when she feels her blood sugar get low she likes to eat what she's made to help it out

Honey is usually a sweet woman she tries to be like the southern belle like woman like her mama but press her buttons the wrong way or do something that she views as disrespectful or uncouth You will see this normally sweet southern woman bring out the spice and she's not afraid to fight either She can be mean if you get on her bad side but normally she doesn't like to be like that

Honey is actually a very smart business woman She knows about what her customers want supply and demand-wise And she really knows how to pronounce herself and her pastries and sweets and all sorts of baked goods Her strategy is to always leave the door slightly open or leave somewhere that has a crack in it so the neighbors can smell fresh baked goods and that will make them want to come in

Honey is a workaholic She loves to bake so much that she'll end up baking up a storm usually tending to forget to eat and take breaks and just completely lose track of time sometimes neighbors will have to come in there to remind her to take breaks and eat and make sure she hasn't baked so much to the point where it's unsellable

One time Honey baked so much that the neighborhood had to have a baked goods eating contest because there were just so many pastries and if you're wondering what type of pastry it was jelly donuts they were popular and she went through one of her moments where she just non-stop baking in the zone and yeah she ended up filling up the whole shop and a little bit outside her shop of jelly donuts

I would say if Honey would have any close relationships with any neighbors it would probably be Howdy Poppy and Eddie, Howdy Because they're both business oriented and sometimes they might get competitive, Poppy I like to think that they would bake together and just talk and have tea and you know have some lady chats hehe, And Eddie I feel like they would talk in countryisms a lot and just have some similar experiences to things again like loving their jobs I feel like they would be really good friends

Before moving to Home, Honey used to own a bakery that was very successful where she would get catering jobs for weddings birthday parties gatherings etc and it was really good business The only reason why she moved away from the city and to Home was because she wanted to have a new market where it wasn't so stressful like it was in the city Just countless orders but in home it's relaxing it's peaceful she can just bake bread and pastries to people that seemed like they would appreciate it more

Some flaws that Honey has is that she'll make way too much sometimes enough to feed an army, she's very time blind She tries to be on time but when you're in the zone baking a lot of stuff you lose track of time So that's why she makes sure she has timers for important stuff, She is a bit of baked good snob she's very picky and particular about how things are baked and how things are served when you make baked goods whether that being a pastry or savory sort of baked good The reason for that is her upbringing of having a French patissier as a father and being trained hard and her family bakery to make the best pastries they could make so that's why she's a bit of a pastry snob and will nitpick the littlest things if not done correctly, though she is trying to get better at not doing that though as not everyone is a professional baker like her, And she has a habit of spraying way too much perfume on herself She likes to smell good but sometimes it's a little bit of overkill And it's just too much It's overpowering, She can be a klutz at times especially when she's serving when people order like a pastry and a coffee or a hot chocolate she goes out and serves and she's the only one working she might end tripping on herself and spilling whatever she had to serve onto the customer That's a little joke as well

Since Honey is half French She can speak French very fluently and use the French terms for certain pastries and savory baked goods and will use the French terms for the methods that are used with a perfect accent and everything and people are usually impressed when she speaks French

I still do ship her with Howdy because of the connection of how I created her as a character so it has a special place in my heart (but it's not a main focus)

Her bakery is called Honey's Sugar Stop

If she had one of the it's for you phone phrases it would be: "Hello, Sugarcube, this is Honey's Sugar Stop this is Honey speaking would you like to place an order?......Hello?.... Are you there sugar?........*taps foot*...... Look sweetie I can't Just stay on the phone line the whole time I got some rolls in the oven that I better take out of the oven before they burn, So if you have an order you like to place for the best baked goods in Home Please call me up If not please don't waste precious bake'n time....."**CLICK**

Well that's all what I could think of her at the moment I might add some more stuff to characters I might change some stuff I don't know but so far this is what I got for honey You know as time pass she can develop more but I feel like she was a fun character to develop And I had a lot of fun creating her I hope you guys really get a kick out of her I know this was a very long post of me really going in deep diving into how I made her as a character as my OC but I feel like this was really fun to make and I hope you guys have a fun time reading it- Mystic🧁

…

Here is

This is a resort area in the central region. Velis, the city of water.

A grand festival is being held in the capital, with the nobles invited.

In order to protect the nobles who were enjoying the festival… My butlers and I were all visiting the resort.

And after the security job was completed successfully…

We… were going to be able to stay here for a little while longer.

-One afternoon-

I was resting in the shade of a tree on the private beach…

Lono: Um, master! May I have a moment?

Choice: ➣Lono, what's wrong?

Lono: Hehe… Actually, there's something I'd like to show you, master.

Choice: What do you want to show me?

Lono: It's a little far from here… If you'd like, could you come with me?

Choice: ➣Understood

Lono: Good! Thank you, master.

Lono: Well then, follow me. Hehe…

With a happy-looking Lono leading the way, we walked along the coast for a while…

A short distance away there was a small sandy beach surrounded by rocks.

Choice: ➣Here…

Lono: Hehehe…! How was it, were you surprised?

Lono: It's surrounded by rocks and can't be seen from the outside. It truly is a "secret beach"!

Choice: ➣Awesome! You found it!

Lono: Hehe…. Actually, I didn't discover it, someone told me about it.

Lono: I became really good friends with a local chef and he taught me how to get here.

Choice ➣He's a good person

Lono: Yes! We got excited talking about cooking and just hit it off…

Lono: We exchanged recipes and things like that… And in the process, I learned about this beach.

Choice: ➣As expected of Lono…

Lono: Ishishi! Is it too early to be impressed?

Lono: There's actually something else I want to show you, Master. Now, please put this on.

Choice: ➣Huh? This is…

Lono: Underwater goggles! This will help you keep your eyes open even underwater.

Lono: Well then, I'll show you around. Please follow me.

Splash

Choice: ➣Huh!? Lono…?

Lono: Puh…! Phew, the water temperature feels just right!

Lono: Come on, master! It's this way.

Choice: ➣Huh, isn't it deep?

Lono: It's okay! I will be right there by your side!

Lono: Come on, master. It feels good in the ocean!

Choice: ➣Uh, yeah…I see.

I did as Lono urged me… I went into the sea.

Lono: Hehehehe. Does it feel good, master?

Choice: ➣Yeah, it feels really good

Lono: That’s right! Well then, please follow me.

Lono: What I want to show you is below.

Choice: ➣Below here?

Lono: Yes! Well, the rest is just for fun when you see it for yourself.

Lono: Okay then, master, I'm going to dive in just a little bit. If you're scared, you can hold my hand.

Choice: ➣Oh, I understand…

Lono: Let's go! Redy, go!….

Splash…

At Lono's signal, we dived into the ocean together… There…

Beautiful coral reefs and colorful fish It was a moving scenery.

Choice: ➣(beautiful…)

…

Splash…

Lono: Phew…! How was it, master?

Lono: It was so beautiful right?

Choice: ➣Indeed···

Lono: Hehe, that was good~♪ I wanted to show this to master!

Lono: I wanted to surprise my master… Kept it a secret from all the other butlers.

Lono: That's why… This was a surprise gift from me!

Lono: Hehe… Do you like it?

Choice: ➣I'm very happy

Lono: To hear the master say that… makes me glad I came.

Lono: All the fatigue from the day was blown away. Isshishi…

Lono: Ouch! Well then, my master, this is a secret beach after all…

Lono: Just a little more… Would you like to come and play together?

Choice: ➣Nice!

Lono: Ishishi! I have to go there!

And then, Lono and I…

On a secret beach where no one else was around, we spent time alone together.

Chapter 2

Lono: Phew! The sea is definitely great!

Choice: ➣Yeah… that's really true…

Lono: Huh? Master, are you tired?

Choice: ➣Just a little bit…

Lono: Well, that's not surprising. Playing in the ocean takes a lot of energy.

Lono: Well then… Should we head back to private beach soon?

Choice: ➣Yeah ➣I agree

Lono: Ah, that's right…master.

Lono: The water around here is only about chest height…

Lono: Let's just walk through the ocean and go home.

Choice: ➣Into the sea?

Lono: Yes. If you go over there from here you can get back to the private beach.

Lono: Okay then, master.

Lono: From the back… Can you put your arms around my neck?

Choice: ➣Huh?

Lono: All you have to do is cling to me and float.

Lono: I'll take you to the beach where the villa is.

Choice: ➣Isn't it hard to walk in the sea?

Lono: It's okay, master.

Lono: It also serves as a great workout for my legs!

Choice: ➣But…

Lono: Oh, and…

Lono: That's something I'd really like you to do…

Choice: ➣Lono…?

Lono: And anyway!

Lono: Master… Now, put your hands around my neck.

Lono bent over and turned his back to me.

I feel bad turning down someone who is being so kind to me…

In the end, I decided to accept his kindness.

Choice: ➣Well then…

Lono: Yes! Make sure you hold on tight!

As Lono told me, I put my arms around his neck.

His back in front of me looks very strong. His neck and shoulders are muscular.

Lono: Well then, master. Let's move on.

Lono: It's okay for you to keep your feet up in the air, Master.

I did as I was told and took my feet off the ocean.

Lono started walking slowly. My body also moved forward.

Lono: Master… Please move closer so that your face is touching my shoulder.

Lono: This will create less resistance to the water… It will be easier on your arm, master.

Choice: ➣I understand… ➣That's right···

His face was so close I could almost hear his breathing.

Choice: ➣(I'm so nervous…)

My heart was beating faster than it had ever been before.

If I pressed my upper body against Lono's back…

Lono could tell that I was nervous.

That's what I thought… He assumed a tense position so as not to press his body too close.

Lono: Um… master. You can make it easier.

Lono: Master, please relax… and entrust your body to me.

Choice: ➣But…

Lono: And…

Lono: There's no need to worry so much, master.

Lono: Perhaps···. I'm just as nervous as you are…

Choice: ➣Huh…?

Lono: Actually… My heart is pounding right now too…

At that time… I noticed it for the first time.

His ears and cheeks were red.

I couldn't see his expression from behind, but…

When I realized that Lono was also nervous… I also relaxed a little…

I felt safe and was able to entrust my body to him.

With me still on his back, he moved through the ocean.

Lono was up to his chest in seawater.

Choice: ➣Lono, aren't you tired?

Lono: I'm not tired yet!

Lono: There's no need to worry, master.

Choice: ➣Thank you, Lono

Lono: No, no.

Then for a while… The two of us didn't say a word.

It was as if we were savoring this moment together.

And···. We continued walking in silence for a while…

We were approaching the private beach where everyone was.

Lono: …master. We'll be there soon.

Choice: ➣I agree···

Lono: Is it already over…?

Lono sighed softly and suddenly stopped walking.

Choice: ➣What happened?

Lono: …master. I…

Lono: Just a little more… I want to be alone with my master…

Lono: That's what I was thinking. Haha, that's no good.

Lono: For a butler like me to say something like this…

Choice: ➣I'm happy…I…

Lono: Huh? Master…?

Choice: ➣I want to be with Lono too.

Lono: Ah, master…

Choice: ➣Let's stay like this for a little while longer

Lono: ···yes! Okay, master!

Hearing Lono's happy voice… made me very happy too.

But, I can't stay in this position forever.

Choice: ➣I can walk now

Lono: No! Let's leave it like this for a little while longer…

Choice: ➣Huh…?

Lono: Um, well… The···.

Lono: Walking side by side together… You can always chat with me though…

Lono: Hey, like this… A chance to get closer to the master…

Lono: Because it may never happen again.

Hearing that made me gasp.

What an opportunity to feel Lono's heartbeat on his back like this… There's no guarantee there will be a next time.

He risk his live every day fighting angels.

I don't even want to think about it… If this is my last summer with Lono…

If you think so, me too… I wanted to stay like this for a little longer.

Choice: ➣…Thank you, Lono

Lono: That···. Can we just keep watching the sunset for a little while longer?

Choice: ➣Y-yeah…

Lono: Thank you.

The sun slowly sinks beyond the horizon…

Looking over Lono's shoulder at the setting sun…

To me, the scenery seemed more fleeting than usual… and much more sad.

I wish this moment could last forever…

I've read 8980 three times for the drawings and a deep dive. I still have these questions about the article.

1: The Clearance Levels appear to be different from what Articles and Tales I read on site. I'm curious if there's a hierarchy for Clearance Levels and what the system looks like.

2: This can be excused by there being no canon, but I questioned if it was intentional. In the Site-17 Deepwell, Allan Weathers got promoted from Site-17's Director to O5-4, then Thomas Graham took Weather's former position. In the reviewer annotation, Weathers is a Senior Researcher and Graham's Site Director.

3: At Addendum 10: Neutralization. The interview between McPharrell and Marely, it implies that McPharrell only just noticed the "several alarming features" Lillian possessed. This can include not just demeanor but her appearance. Also, Prior to Byrnes retiring, McPharrell (and Steele) were in violation of gross negligence, so that can tie together.

Including "Testing 8980-C-36", it can be used as a containment procedure. In that case, whether Byrnes did this on purpose for indirect contact with Lillian or not is in question for me.

4: When describing Lillian's mental state at the end, my brain can't decipher what her overall behavior would be like, so I was wondering if I could have a rationale of it.

I know I'll still be asking questions regarding your articles and for other stuff. 8980 was a very interesting article to dive into. The 8980 drawings are at a halt from my art project being due, but I should be back at it in around 3 days.

Sorry for the late reply! I forgot my inbox had messages haha.

1: I think it's more realistic for the Foundation to mete out specific clearances for specific things rather than just use a 1-5 scale for everyone and everything. The EthComm and RAISA would definitely have their own clearance hierarchy too, which I've seen reflected in some other articles.

2: Honestly unsure. I used Weathers because I needed a name and I asked Nagiros if it made sense to use him in this context at this time. Ve said yes.

3: Not *entirely* sure what you're asking here 😅

4: Well, she's definitely a mentally fatigued and abused person. She had difficulties forming and maintaining interpersonal relationships because her social interactions for ten years were mostly just Byrnes and occasionally someone else who were always clinically detached.

Her technophobia not only stems from Byrnes's technology-oriented abuse of her, but also from that fact that — as mentioned at some point earlier on —NETLOG got depreciated and was replaced by Framerail, so she has to relearn everything she was doing before and it's just too overwhelmed, especially combined with an intrinsic fear of failure coupled with fear of punishment.

The other psychological symptoms mentioned in the article are mixtures of coping mechanisms and neuroticism from being confined in a cell for a decade.

I'm glad the article was captivating enough to warrant three (wow!) rereads and a deepdive from you. I hope I could provide satisfactory answers!

a deep dive into jason cross's autism

every single time this man opens his mouth a new autistic trait is unlocked. and i'm gonna in depth describe why i fully believe jason is autistic. i see a lot of my own autistic traits in him

not understanding social cues/not being able to "read the room". at the start of both movies, his questions to miss darbus are irrelevant and not well-timed but completely earnest, and people get annoyed at this.

movie 1: after everyone is given detention, he just asks "how were your holidays miss darbus?" and everyone looks at him confused and/or annoyed. and then HE responds "what?" as if he doesn't know what he did was in complete contrast to what just happened.

movie 2: everyone's excited to get let out for summer, but then he asks "what was your favourite summer memory miss darbus?" again everyone looks at him annoyed and he looks confused. he genuinely wants to know! also when troy leaves with the u of a players and jason asks about the "cool redhawk jacket"... as viewers we can tell that its not the time to say that jason but if i was him i would probably do the same

related to this, being very trusting and sweet and friendly. he is so nice to everyone i love him even when people aren't nice to him

he takes things very literally. when mr fulton is trying to explain the whole "mr/mrs/miss" thing, and jason's response is "actually, i'm not miss evans, im jason!" and again everyone getting annoyed... leave him alone he's just autistic guys

related, in that same scene, the idea of things being "out of sight, out of mind", and being bad at names. asking "who's that?" when mr fulton mentions "miss evans" - i've done this many times LOL

struggling with school but trying his damn best. "i'll probably be retaking my finals... i'm moving into the library" that shows he's trying his damn best but expects to fail, and is spending loads of time in the library. because the school system doesnt work for his learning style!!!!! again, just like me fr!!!!!!

monotone voice. this is not a criticism of ryne sanborn's delivery or anything. i think a more monotone voice works well for his character regardless of autism

special interest in basketball because of course!

finally, i like to think that the reason he wears a snapback as his graduation cap is because of sensory difficulties.

i see a LOT of my own traits in jasons like, 10 lines of dialogue and i'm really glad. does make me upset that everyone is always rolling their eyes around him, but i'm not sure of he even knows he's autistic and needs support. i think he begins to realise what he's experiencing is autism after school is over but always knew he was "different". but he was also too busy transitioning so he was focusing on that

oh yeah jason cross is very much a trans man
