vi x f!reader

wc: 1.2k

cw: the beginning might be triggering for some people, it has homophobic undertones aannd a man being gross, so be aware!

@caspianalexander007 ‘s request!: I was wondering if you could write a little Vi comfort fic? Maybe she’s hurt from a fight or something and Reader is just absolutely spoiling her - patching her up, drawing her a fancy bath, washing her hair so she doesn’t make the wound worse, tucking her into bed, making her tasty soup, just being like super gentle, warm, and comforting. And at first Vi is like “I’m fine I’m fine” but Reader is just like “I know you’re fine. But I want to do this for you”. And maybe there’s a sweet moment where all the affection and care makes Vi breakdown because she’s always been the fighter, the protector, the warrior - she’s never had someone take care of HER for once and it’s such a relief to just - not HAVE to be the strong one for a while, ya know?

Vi didn’t want to cause any trouble—truly. This time, the busted lip, bruised knuckles, and the nasty cut on her eyebrow weren’t her fault.

The guy at the bar where the two of you had gone together had been a disgusting excuse for a human being. He wouldn’t leave you alone, hovering too close, ignoring every polite (and then not-so-polite) attempt to make him back off. And then, right before the fight broke out, he decided it was a good idea to open his mouth and say that you needed a "real man"—that he could show you what you were "missing."

So, yeah. It really, really wasn’t Vi’s fault when she punched the guy so hard that you heard his cheekbone crack.

The guy barely had time to react before Vi had him on the ground, landing another hit that sent him sprawling. Before his friends could jump in, the bar’s security had stepped in, pulling Vi off him and shoving both of you toward the exit. A few harsh words and a lifetime ban later, you found yourselves out on the street, Vi still flexing her bruised knuckles like she was ready to go back in for round two.

Now, back at your place, Vi sat on the counter, legs spread, arms resting on her thighs as you stood between her knees, carefully dabbing at the cut on her eyebrow with a damp cloth.

"I’m fine," she grumbled, shifting slightly as if she was about to leave. "I can do this myself."

You shot her a look, pressing a little harder than necessary just to make your point. She hissed, flinching back.

"I know you’re fine," you said, voice firm, "but it’s my fault you got hurt. I’m not gonna let you take care of yourself." Your brows furrowed so hard you were probably going to give yourself a headache.

Vi sighed, her hands coming to rest on your waist, more to steady you than to stop you. "It’s not your fault," she muttered, her voice quieter this time. "You heard what he said." Her jaw tightened, her usual tone replaced by something sharper. "I would never just sit there and let some asshole talk to anyone like that—especially not you."

Your hands stilled, the cloth lingering against her skin. There was something about the way she said it, the weight behind her words, that made your heart clench.

"I know," you murmured, gently brushing a stray strand of hair from her face. "But I still don’t like seeing you get hurt."

Vi scoffed, smirking up at you. "Please, this?" She gestured to her bruised knuckles and busted lip. "Barely even a scratch."

You rolled your eyes but couldn’t help the small smile tugging at your lips. "Yeah, yeah. You’re real tough, Vi."

"Damn right." She grinned, squeezing your waist playfully.

"Go take your clothes off” you said, stepping out from between her legs and gently squeezing her tight. "I’m drawing you a bath."

Vi raised an eyebrow. "What, are you my babysitter now? Patching me up, making me shower—what’s next, you gonna feed me too?" She smirked, teasing, but you had already made up your mind.

Soup, something warm and comforting—your way of thanking your knight in shining armor for defending your honor.

"Shut up” you laughed, nudging her lightly. "I just like taking care of you."

Something shifted in Vi’s expression then. For a moment, she looked like she was going to fire back with another joke, but the words never came. Instead, she just blinked up at you, lips parting slightly, like she wasn’t sure what to say.

You didn’t think much of it, just gave her one last playful shove toward the bedroom door. "Go. I’ll have everything ready when you’re done."

Vi hesitated, but eventually, she went, peeling off her jacket as she disappeared into the bedroom. You busied yourself with the bath, letting the water run warm, adding a few drops of something that smelled vaguely of lavender. She’d probably tease you for that, but you didn’t care. She deserved a little softness.

By the time she came back, dressed in some clothes she left at your place with damp hair sticking to her skin, you had a bowl of soup waiting for her on the counter.

She stopped in the doorway, her usual swagger gone, replaced by something hesitant. "You really did make me food…” she muttered, almost disbelieving.

You shrugged. "Of course I did. Now sit and eat before you pass out."

Vi did as she was told, but the second she took her first bite, something in her just… crumbled. She didn’t say anything at first, just stared down at the bowl, jaw clenched tight.

"Vi?" You frowned, stepping closer.

She let out a shaky breath, setting the spoon down before rubbing at her eyes with the heel of her palm. "Shit," she muttered, her voice thick. "Sorry, I just—"

She trailed off, and the hesitation in her voice made your stomach twist.

"What’s going on? Did I do something wrong?" You asked, concern slipping into your tone as you stepped closer.

Vi immediately shook her head. "No, no. It’s the opposite, actually." She let out a humorless laugh, her fingers curling into fists on the counter. "It’s just that... I’m not used to this."

And that’s when it hit you.

Vi had spent her whole life being the strong one. The protector. The fighter. She had taken punch after punch, fought battle after battle, and never once expected anyone to take care of her in return. She carried the weight of the world on her shoulders like it was second nature—because it had to be.

But now? Now she was sitting in your kitchen, wrapped in warmth, eating something made just for her, being cared for without having to fight for it. And it was overwhelming. Too much. And at the same time, exactly what she had needed.

"Vi..." you murmured, stepping behind her. Without thinking, you wrapped your arms around her shoulders, pulling her close. She was tense at first, muscles tight like she didn’t know how to accept it, but you didn’t let go. You just held her, grounding her, reminding her that she wasn’t alone.

"You don’t have to apologize," you whispered against her hair. "You’re allowed to just… let someone take care of you."

She exhaled, a deep, unsteady breath, and after a long pause, she finally melted into you. Her hands came up, gripping your arms like she was afraid you might disappear if she let go.

"Yeah," she whispered, her voice raw, barely more than a breath. "Okay."

For a long moment, neither of you moved. You just held her, feeling the way her breathing slowly evened out, the way the tension in her body began to fade.

"You know," you finally murmured, trying to lighten the mood just a little, "I was gonna offer to feed you, but I feel like that might actually make you cry."

Vi let out a breathless laugh, shaking her head. "Shut up."

You grinned, pressing a small kiss to the side of her head. "Never."

She sighed, squeezing your arms one last time before finally pulling away just enough to look at you. Her eyes were still red-rimmed, but there was something softer in them now. A quiet sort of gratitude.

"You really are something else" she murmured.

You smirked. "Yeah, well. You’re stuck with me now."

"Good," she said, nudging her forehead against yours. "Wouldn’t have it any other way."

I’m sorry to ask but can we please have more Beerus! Reader x mark content😩🙏🏾

There was this one scene from Dragon Ball I’m not sure which one tho where beerus meets cheelai and he kinda falls for her like instantly😭 can we have some moments between reader and mark and how they stop villains together and he attempts at making food for her but it’s not the best best but Debbie helps him make it more manageable and reader knows he tried and she eats it no problem and just overall sweet yet still crackhead moments with mark and maybe how she interacts with Debbie and Oliver :3

Author's Note: honestly nddbshssjss nddjdsjddj love it, also this will be the second to the last Beerus![Name] and the last will be the reactions of Mark's variants on Beerus![Name] please suggest other more ideas in my inbox(⁠^⁠.⁠_⁠.⁠^⁠)⁠ﾉ

So without further adu, here are some Beerus![Name] moments with some of the invincible characters( mostly Mark lol Also sorry if there isn't any romance moments jdjjjddjs:( )

Beerus![Name] Moments

[Name] Just Wants Food, Mark is Her Unpaid Butler Now, Cecil is Developing Stress-Induced Baldness, Debbie is the Only One She Listens To, Earth is Off-Limits Because She Said So, Mark Keeps Getting Dragged Into Fights, Everyone is So Tired, [Name] Moved In Without Asking, She’s Claiming Planets Like Trading Cards, Cheetos Saved Earth, Canon? Don’t Know Her

♪•|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|•♪

[Name] Claims the Planet & Moves in With Mark (Cecil Is Bald Now)

Cecil had never been more stressed in his entire life.

"YOU CAN’T JUST—" He inhaled sharply, rubbing his temples as his headache intensified. "YOU CAN’T JUST CLAIM THE PLANET!"

[Name], sitting on Mark’s couch, kicked her feet up onto the coffee table. "I just did."

Mark, standing next to Cecil, pinched the bridge of his nose. "Why are we at my hou-"

He gets cut off by Cecil "Why would you do that?!"

[Name] shrugged. "Because it was there?"

Cecil looked like he was on the verge of a stroke. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?!?!"

[Name], sipping from a juice box, tilted her head. "Yeah. It means I live here now."

Cecil inhaled deeply. "No, it means every government on Earth is PANICKING because some unknown Viltrumite just casually declared ownership over the entire planet—"

[Name] waved him off. "Oh, that’s dumb. I don’t want their government stuff, I just wanna live here. That’s your problem."

Cecil visibly aged ten years in that moment.

Mark groaned. "Where are you even staying—?"

[Name] smirked. "Here."

Mark blinked. "…Excuse me?"

[Name] gestured around. "Your house. I’m moving in."

Silence.

Cecil stared. "I need a drink."

♪•|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|•♪

Meeting Debbie: The Unexpected New Roommate

Debbie had just walked in, holding groceries, when she was met with the sight of:

1. Cecil looking like he was on the verge of an aneurysm.

2. Mark rubbing his temples in pure exhaustion.

3. A complete stranger lounging on her couch with a juice box.

Debbie blinked. "What the hell is going on?"

[Name] turned, grinning. "Hi. I live here now."

Debbie froze. "…What."

Cecil groaned. "SHE CLAIMED THE PLANET, DEBBIE."

Debbie slowly turned to Mark, eyes narrowing. "Mark. Explain."

Mark sighed. "Mom, meet [Name]. She’s…technically a Viltrumite, technically super strong, technically declared Earth as hers, and—" He sighed deeply. "—she’s apparently moving in."

[Name] grinned. "Nice to meet you, Debbie."

Debbie stared at her. Then at Mark. Then at Cecil, who looked done.

Then she sighed, set the groceries down, and walked into the kitchen.

Cecil blinked. "Where are you going?"

Debbie didn’t even turn around. "To pour myself a glass of wine before I deal with this bullshit."

[Name] smirked. "I like her."

♪•|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|•♪

Settling In (Mark’s Personal Hell Begins)

Mark had no idea how his life spiraled into this mess, but here he was—watching [Name] casually make herself at home.

She stole his room.

She stole his bed.

She stole his snacks.

She was just…there. Constantly.

Like now, for example.

Mark walked into his own room only to find [Name] sprawled across his bed, eating his bag of Cheetos like she owned the place.

Mark sighed. "Why are you in my room?"

[Name], not looking up from her phone, casually replied, "Our room."

Mark choked. "WHAT?"

[Name] blinked at him. "I live here, Mark. This is our room now."

"YOU CAN TAKE THE GUEST ROOM!"

[Name] shrugged. "Nah, this one’s better."

Mark groaned. "I hate you."

[Name] smirked. "No, you don’t."

Mark left the room and walked straight into the kitchen, where Debbie was making coffee.

He sighed. "Mom."

Debbie, without looking up, replied, "She’s your problem now."

Mark groaned, dramatically collapsing onto the counter. "Cecil’s gonna kill me."

Debbie smirked, sipping her coffee. "Cecil’s already dead inside."

♪•|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|•♪

Mark & [Name]: The Most Chaotic Duo Ever And Stopping Villains Together

Mark had long since accepted that fighting alongside [Name] was not a normal experience. He was used to strategy, teamwork, and at least some level of planning.

And [Name]?

Pure, unfiltered chaos.(As usual)

Like today, for example.

A B-list villain named Overload had been terrorizing downtown, his electricity-based attacks shorting out power grids and causing city-wide blackouts. Standard superhero work.

Mark was mid-air, dodging arcs of electricity while trying to get close. "[Name], can you—"

BOOM.

The entire street shook as Overload went flying into a billboard, face-first, before tumbling down onto a car.

Mark turned, sighing.

[Name] stood there, cracking her knuckles. "What? He zapped my bag of Doritos."

Mark pinched the bridge of his nose. "You just punched him through a billboard—"

"Yeah, ‘cause he was being annoying. You were taking too long."

"He was mid-monologue!"

"Exactly. Annoying."

Overload groaned, barely conscious. [Name] walked over and nudged him with her foot.

"Hm. Not dead. Cool. What’s for lunch?"

Mark stared at her. "We’re still in the middle of a fight!"

[Name] shrugged. "I dunno, seems like we won."

Mark turned back to Overload, who weakly raised a hand. "…I surrender."

Mark sighed. "I hate that you’re always right."

[Name] grinned. "I know."

♪•|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|•♪

Mark Attempts Cooking (And Fails, But It's the Thought That Counts)

Mark had exactly one mission today: make [Name] a meal.

The problem?

Mark couldn’t cook for shit.

He’d tried. Really, he had. He even watched a few YouTube tutorials on how to make something decent. But by the time Debbie walked into the kitchen, it looked like a war zone.

The stove had suspicious burn marks, the counter was covered in ingredients (somehow including things that weren’t even part of the recipe), and Mark was standing there with flour in his hair, staring at a pot like it personally insulted him.

Debbie took one look and sighed. "Oh my god."

Mark groaned. "Mom, help. Please."

Debbie pinched the bridge of her nose. "Mark, what is this supposed to be?"

He gestured vaguely to the…thing. "…Pasta?"

Debbie stared. "You burned water."

Mark winced. "…Yeah."

She sighed. "Move over, I’ll fix this before she arrives."

After a lot of motherly intervention, the dish was technically saved. It wasn’t perfect, but it was edible. Which was a huge improvement.

When [Name] arrived, Mark was visibly stressed while she sat at the table, inspecting the food.

Mark coughed. "So, uh. I made this for you."

[Name] blinked. "Why?"

Mark hesitated. "…Because I thought you’d like it?"

[Name] stared at him. Then at the food. Then back at him.

Without hesitation, she grabbed a fork, scooped a bite, and ate it.

Mark watched her carefully.

She chewed. Swallowed. Paused.

Then nodded. "Not bad."

Mark exhaled, relieved. "Oh, thank god."

Debbie crossed her arms, raising a brow. "You’re way too nice. That was barely passable."

[Name] shrugged. "I’ve eaten worse. One time I had to survive on a planet that only had meat that regenerated while you chewed."

Debbie and Mark both stared.

Mark hesitated. "…I don’t wanna ask."

[Name] nodded. "You really don’t."

Debbie sighed. "Mark, if you ever cook again, I’m supervising."

Mark groaned. "Noted."

[Name] grinned. "Don’t worry, I still think it’s cute that he tried."

Mark turned red. "Shut up."

♪•|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|•♪

[Name] & Debbie: The Most Unexpected Friendship

Debbie never expected to befriend a Viltrumite Goddess of Destruction, yet here she was.

[Name], despite her terrifying power, was surprisingly respectful toward Debbie. And by respectful, that meant she actually listened whenever Debbie scolded Mark.

Like when Mark forgot to take out the trash.

"Mark, I told you to do it before heading out."

Mark sighed. "I was busy—"

[Name], lounging on the couch with a bag of chips, turned. "Mark, just do it. She’s right."

Mark groaned. "Not you too."

[Name] nodded. "She made me food, so she wins this argument."

Debbie smirked. "See? She gets it."

Mark threw his hands up. "Oh my god."

Another time, Debbie had been stressed from work. [Name] had noticed and, instead of saying anything, simply plopping onto the couch beside Debbie.

Debbie blinked. "What are you doing?"

[Name] shrugged. "I dunno. You looked tired, so I’m keeping you company."

Debbie stared. "…Huh."

[Name] then grabbed the remote. "Wanna watch bad reality TV? I heard humans find it entertaining."

Debbie hesitated, then sighed. "…Yeah, actually."

[Name] smirked. "Nice. Let’s watch people make terrible life choices."

And that’s how Debbie ended up watching The Bachelor with a god-tier Viltrumite who could destroy planets but instead spent the evening judging contestants like a drama-loving auntie.

Debbie decided she definitely liked her.

♪•|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|•♪

Cecil’s Hairline Is Gone

Cecil genuinely considered retirement after this.

[Name], somehow, had hacked the system of life itself. She claimed the planet, got a free house, free food, and a free personal punching bag (Mark).

Debbie, at some point, just accepted it.

♪•|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|•♪

Overall: Chaos, Friendship, and Cheetos

Mark had no idea how his life ended up like this. His team-ups with [Name] were less about strategy and more about damage control.

And his mom somehow got along better with [Name] than he did.

But at the end of the day, when [Name] casually threw an arm around him after another insane fight, stealing his fries while grinning, he figured…

Maybe this wasn’t so bad.

Even if he was never getting his snacks back.

And Mark?

He was never getting his bed back.

"The devil is easy to cheat."

So... I keep thinking about Mizrak and Emmanuel's conversation in the churchyard in S2E3, where Mizrak tries to appeal to Emmanuel to repent and turn against Bàthory. It's an interesting one, and worth a rewatch or two or three or seven. But the more I chew on it, the more I keep going back to the dialogue in the finale. Back to That Whole Scene™. Just, feeling this itch that there's something there. Some kind of dots to connect. And I think I'm ready to synthesize my thoughts here.

In episode 3, Emmanuel tells Mizrak, "You wouldn't question me if you'd glimpsed what I have of the other side. If you heard it sometimes in the twilight. Quiet laughter. Hell. Waiting. Whispering your name."

The laughter part is interesting, right? Like he's clearly describing Old Man Coyote/Mephistopheles. But of course to Mizrak/the audience at this point, it's the Capital 'D' Devil—or at least his own guilty conscience driving him mad. But then Maria kills him, and we actually see Old Man Coyote collect his soul.

Anyway.

Later on in S2E7, when Mizrak gets hurt, Old Man Coyote appears again. And he's laughing, and Mizrak knows that laughter must be what Emmanuel was talking about. Must be the devil. He must be damned.

So let's hop back to the finale, to the scene where Olrox turns him. Mizrak asks him, "You've seen the devil then? Waiting for me?

And Olrox tells him, "No, not the devil."

Because he knows it's not the Capital 'D' Devil, but Old Man Coyote/Mephistopheles.

But he also says, "And I think he was waiting for someone else."

I am absolutely convinced that "someone else" is Olrox himself.

Because let us go back to S2E5, when Olrox returns to the Night Creature-O-Matic. He's studying the book, and Old Man Coyote/Mephistopheles appears. Olrox says:

"I know what promises you make, and how tempting they are. And I could make good use of a powerful patron. But this doesn't belong in this world. And nor do you."

At this, Old Man Coyote leaves. This scene establishes that Old Man Coyote is trying to get Olrox to barter with him. But Olrox is clearly not willing to in exchange for whatever promise of power Old Man Coyote is tempting him with.

I am absolutely convinced that when Mizrak gets wounded, Old Man Coyote is waiting for Olrox. Expecting that if he wasn't willing to barter his soul in exchange for power, surely he will for love. Surely he'll give in and strike a deal in exchange for Mizrak's life.

So. Back to the Turning Scene. Again.

Olrox's insistence that it's not the devil, that he was waiting for someone else probably sounds to Mizrak like he's just trying to comfort him in his last moments. He kinda brushes it off with, "Still. The devil will be waiting. [...] I'm afraid, Olrox."

Which brings us to:

"There's no need to be afraid, my love. Not the devil, at least. The devil is easy to cheat."

I think Olrox's use of "the devil" here is him basically adopting the name Mizrak knows this entity by. Mizrak understands Old Man Coyote to be the devil, so he's using that language so Mizrak will understand: There's no need to be afraid of the "devil" he sees/hears. That "devil" is easy to cheat.

On first viewing, this read to me as, "You, Mizrak, can cheat the devil, and I'm going to help you. You can't die and go to hell if you're immortal."

But on subsequent viewings, it reads to me as, "I, Olrox, can cheat the devil. I can have my cake and eat it too. By turning you, I get what I want (to keep you alive/not lose you) without having to pay the devil's price."

Which I LOVE, because it makes it all sooooo much more messy. The former lets you squint your eyes and shrug and say, "Yeah, it's not exactly a GOOD thing that Olrox turned him, but what else was he supposed to do?? Mizrak was gonna go to super hell!!"

But the latter??? Ohohohoooo man.

Mizrak wasn't actually about to be sentenced to eternal damnation (that we or Olrox know of, at least). The devil wasn't waiting for him. The devil was waiting for someone else and Olrox KNEW THIS and still turned him. Not to protect Mizrak's soul/life, but to spare himself the pain of losing the man he loves again.

I've seen it said that the reason Olrox just lies back as Mizrak climbs over and bites him is because he expects that Mizrak will be upset about being turned, at least initially. But how much more appropriate does this body language become through the lens of a much deeper sense of guilt over what he's done? Of a subconscious need to punish, self-sacrifice, or otherwise try to absolve himself of that guilt? To "pay the price" on his own terms, so to speak?

And maybe Mizrak will be convinced he was going to super hell. Maybe this belief will bring him to sort of begrudgingly accept his new life as a vampire. But it will be a secret that casts a shadow over their every interaction for eternity. How long can Olrox keep that secret? How will Mizrak react should it ever to come to light? How badly will it hurt when Olrox loses him anyway—not because of death, but because his own scheme, once exposed, will likely prove to be a betrayal their relationship can never recover from???

Anyways…

𓆩♡𓆪 Creepypasta boys dating headcanons 𓆩♡𓆪

+love languages as a bonus

Characters: Jeff the Killer, Ticci Toby, Eyeless Jack, BEN drowned, X Virus, Tim/Masky, Brian/Hoodie

Jeff the Killer

☠︎︎ physical touch, he’s very used to touch being used in a negative way, towards him or by him so soft touches would make him melt

☠︎︎ likes to have you in his lap

☠︎︎ like wdym you need a chair he’s right here???

☠︎︎ he flirts with you by being sarcastic and snarky ☠︎︎ so like you might think he hates you at first before you realize he has a crush on you

☠︎︎ not great with his words/expressing his feelings

☠︎︎ you’d need to have thick skin to be with him, because he will definitely say things he doesn’t mean during an argument

☠︎︎ and he LIKES to argue, so if you hate conflict he’s probably not for you

☠︎︎ jealous and a bit possessive too, so you’d have to be careful about how you talk to other people and how often you do so

☠︎︎ he needs a LOT of reassurance and attention but he won’t ask for it directly, he’ll just get snappy and mean without an explanation

☠︎︎ it’s not always obvious why he’s upset so he’d need to be with someone who is both perceptive and patient

☠︎︎ he’s not the best at figuring out why you’re upset, so direct communication is best for him

☠︎︎ ride or die tbh, he doesn’t like very many people so if you’ve somehow wooed him you ain’t ever getting away

Ticci Toby

✘ touchtouchtouch

✘ he can’t feel pain or temperature so he values the things he can feel

✘ his hands are always on you in some capacity

✘ he’ll have his arm around you, he’ll hold your hand, and he LOVES it when you hold his arm

✘ he’ll also bear hug you and pick you up whenever he sees you (and he expects you to run into his arms)

✘ kinda OBNOXIOUS lol, like he’s the type of bf who does shit to annoy you just because he likes to see you get all riled up

✘ pokes your nose, licks your face, bites you, anything to get your attention

✘ no press is bad press

✘ the way he expresses love and affection is… unconventional

✘ like will sometimes just be so over the top and cannot read the situation

✘ he’d be very blunt in how he feels about you and generally is uninhibited when speaking about his feelings

✘ This can sometimes lead to issues so would need thick skin if you’re gonna date him

✘ he’s spontaneous and super energetic so you either need to be someone who can match that energy or super go with the flow

✘ has trouble seeing things from your perspective sometimes, but in an argument he doesn’t get all heated he just shuts down

✘ so he’d definitely do better with someone who’s not very temperamental

✘He’s a wild ride but if you can be down with all he’s got going on, he’ll stay in a long term relationship

Eyeless Jack

𖤐 gifts! He would definitely be bringing you back little trinkets

𖤐 it could be fun and pretty things he’s found while he’s out or little snacks/your favorite drink, etc

𖤐 just anything he can bring you to show you he was thinking of you

𖤐 treats you like you are dainty because he’s scared of breaking you

𖤐 he loves so gently

𖤐 makes sure you know you are valued by him

𖤐 regularly tells you he loves you, that you’re beautiful, he appreciates you

𖤐 plans the cutest dates and really likes to take you out

𖤐 the dates would be super tailored to what you’re into

𖤐 arguments are more like open discussions and he genuinely wants to help you change and grow as a person

𖤐 he’s a bit protective and only slightly jealous, no more than anyone else really

𖤐 he doesn’t want to hold you back in anyway really so he doesn’t often tell you what to do

𖤐 he would do best with someone who’s softer and less judgmental, he has a lot of shame around his eating habits and feeling like a monster

𖤐 he tends to give more than he takes so he’d do better with someone who’s also very generous that way there’d be equal dynamics between you two

BEN drowned

⚠︎ quality time, but not so much in the way of just liking to be around, he likes if you actually make plans to see him, even if it’s just to hang out

⚠︎ loves to play video games with you and he gets competitive

⚠︎ somewhat like Toby he is a little shit!

⚠︎ like he just LOVES to annoy the fuck out of you

⚠︎ he just thinks you’re wayyyy too cute when you’re angry

⚠︎ really likes to show off who he’s with

⚠︎ will buy you clothes, makeup, etc really anything to doll you up and show you off

⚠︎ once you are official he will be telling everyone in the existence of ever

⚠︎ especially because…

⚠︎ he’s SUPER POSSESSIVE like oh god HE’S SICK

⚠︎ like if someone LOOKS at you a little too long he’s got a problem

⚠︎ god forbid someone hits on you

⚠︎ but rather than taking it up with you, he just secretly ruins their life

⚠︎ he may not always be the best partner, he can lack empathy at times and arguments with him are a nightmare because he will twist your words and may manipulate you lightly

⚠︎ will randomly come through when it really matters

⚠︎ would do better with someone who’s (and forgive me here for my choice of word) a bit tsundere-like

⚠︎ he likes someone who takes effort to win over because he loves the chase

⚠︎ he also likes if you’re easy to embarrass or get a reaction out of

⚠︎ your relationship will feel like constant push and pull

X Virus

☣︎ acts of service

☣︎ Cody is a problem solver and will do what he can to make you happy and help you when there’s things troubling you

☣︎ at the same time, he has periods where he gets really invested into what he’s studying and may not pay attention to you for days

☣︎ so if you’re caring and will support him while he gets like that >>>>

☣︎ like bringing him food, helping with his laundry, etc (daily tasks he would need to do but he’s too hyper focused to take care of himself)

☣︎ you may have to convince him to shower during these periods

☣︎ would likely be pretty inexperienced in romance

☣︎ would defo be one of those guys that gets exponentially hotter after getting a girlfriend because she teaches him how to dress and be presentable

☣︎ rambles on about his experiments so you would ideally be a good listener and someone who will engage with him even if you have no idea what he’s talking about

☣︎ not super jealous but has CRAZY accurate senses when it comes to someone actually liking you and subtly flirting with you

☣︎ it’s like a siren goes off in his brain and then he’s like “not that person”

☣︎ pussy whippedddddd like once he’s into you you’ve got him on his KNEES

☣︎ got him opening doors and carrying heavy stuff like shittttttt

Tim/Masky

꩜ acts of service

꩜ Tim is not always the best with his words and can be kind of awkward so he’d rather just do things to show he cares

꩜ protective almost in like a dad way, like would make sure your car had all the fluids and maintenance it needs (can u tell I know nothing about cars)

꩜ or you’d randomly mention something you want and it’ll magically appear

꩜ he’s very practical, so dates and anniversaries are not too over the top, he keeps it simple

꩜ he’d do best with someone who’s more chill and laid back

꩜ he’s slow to open up and not the best at discussing his feelings so someone who is patient & perceptive is better for him

꩜ if it’s cold he always wants you to take his jacket (also loves to see you in it)

꩜Chivalry ain’t dead while he’s around

꩜ doesn’t get jealous often, he’s pretty mature

꩜ he’s very closed off and secretive about the parts of his life that he’s not proud of, so he’d need to be with someone who’s comfortable with not knowing everything

꩜ this also means it would take you a while to meet Masky

☆ Masky isn’t around all that often so you won’t get a ton of attention from him

☆ he views you as more of a pet than a girlfriend

☆ will give you the occasional head pat or say something flirtatious which often borders on sexual harassment

Brian/Hoodie

𖣐 words of affirmation

𖣐 he likes to be told that he is valued!

𖣐 but also loves to compliment you, and he is quite charming

𖣐 LOVES to tease

𖣐 he’s constantly taking pictures of you or recording you

𖣐has a picture of you in his wallet

𖣐 writes you little love notes and hides them in places you’ll find them easily

𖣐 he’s really perceptive so you can’t easily hide your feelings around him

𖣐 he will call bullshit if you try to say “no, I’m not mad” because he KNOWS

𖣐 not really jealous at all tbh

𖣐 if someone hits on you he takes it as a compliment

𖣐 like yeah he knows you’re hot

☹ You don’t see Hoodie for a while

☹ because lowkey he acts like a stalker at first even though you’re dating Brian and therefore also him

☹ he wouldn’t just come up and approach you, he has to be a weirdo and watch you from the shadows

☹ like just come talk to me you freak

☹ he will also leave you letters but they’re a little more sinister than Brian’s and in places that are off putting

☹ eventually he’d approach you, but like Masky he more so sees you as something to toy with rather than a girlfriend (even though his affection for you is definitely deep in there somewhere)

Hope you enjoyed :3

Coffee

Pairing: Bucky x Fem!Scorpio!Reader

A/N: A continuation of the birthday fluff story. Not as long, but it's reached a good spot for me to end it so I'm going to consider it finished.

Summary: Bucky promised he wouldn't forget to come "rescue" you from your admirer at work. He didn't. He even remembered your requests and you explain another modern concept to him he takes offense at.

Warnings: LANGUAGE. Gruesome and violent descriptions of how to best get rid of a body. Dark humor. Implied fat shaming. Implied violence. Sexual references. Flirting. Can't think of much else. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Word Count: 2.3k

Master List: Scorpio AU

Previous Story: Signs

===================

Bucky could hear your voice already. He hadn’t made it all the way to the archives just yet, but he could already hear you talking to someone. He couldn’t make out words, even with his hearing, but he could hear the rise, fall, and staccato of your voice.

You were irritated.

He heard your voice again, slower, and lower.

Correction: You were very irritated.

Bucky walked a bit faster while carrying the two cups of coffee and the little bag carrying the scones you liked. He knew you had handled everything thrown at you so far. Yet ever since you told him how often you had to punch people while working in the archives, he couldn’t help but worry.

What if one day a far more determined someone walked in with the intent of stealing something? What if it was someone dangerous? What if you got hurt?

No one else seemed too worried about this. They insisted you were fine. Even Steve.

“She’s fine, Buck. She knows how to handle herself.”

Natasha agreed with him, “Yeah…night we met she floored some 300-pound guy. She’s got good reflexes, too.”

They didn’t elaborate past that. Loki had only laughed and proceeded to tease him about being smitten with you. Bucky didn’t deny it. He was too confused to deny it.

“Anyone that decides to cross her deserves what they get.” The god had stated before leaving, mischievous smile on his face as he did.

“Reggie. I am not part of your research topic. Go. Away.” Your voice said as Bucky grew closer, close enough he could hear you sigh in frustration, and to hear the response.

“You’re like Google, though. Everything I’m searching for.”

“Lord, I beg of you…send help.” You whined, exasperated, and Bucky slowed down slightly so it didn’t look like he was running as he rounded the corner, pretending to not have heard anything, and smiled at you.

You had never been happier to see a super soldier walking towards you in your entire life. It wasn’t even that he looked amazing with his dark leather jacket, sunglasses on his head, and that sunshine smile of his. It wasn’t even the coffee or the little bag he had with him. It was just that he showed up like he promised.

“Hey, doll.” He greeted, ignoring Reggie as the lanky blonde scowled, especially as you smiled.

“Hey, Bucky. Coffee?” you asked and Bucky nodded with a crooked smirk as he set the tray down.

“Of course I brought my best girl her coffee. Can’t have you goin’ feral down here.” He said and set the bag down on your desk as well, “I even brought you one of those scones you like.”

“You are a prince among men, Bucky.” You said with a smile and accepted the coffee from him while Reggie scowled more, “What?”

“Barnes doesn’t have anything more important to do than bringing you caffeine and carbs?” he asked, his eyes flicking down to how you cross your legs while sitting back with the coffee cup and scone.

“Are you saying bringing her coffee and food when she asks isn’t important?” Bucky asked as he pulled a chair over with his foot and sat down next to you, holding his own coffee and scone, taking a sip before looking at you, “What’s the thing with carbs these days?”

“They’re supposed to be bad for you and make you fat or something.” You replied and Bucky nodded before looking over at Reggie with a scowl.

“So you’re trying to say she doesn’t need to eat that or she’s going to get fat, aren’tcha?”

You just sigh and nod while dunking your scone in the coffee, “It…feels like that is indeed what he is implying.”

Bucky shook his head while scowling, “Last I was aware, which, may have been a while. Maybe I’m just old fashioned, but…most ladies don’t like it when anyone implies they’re fat or need to eat less. That hasn’t changed, yeah?”

“No, that hasn’t changed, Bucky.” You confirmed and glanced at your adversary on the other side of the desk.

“No. That’s…not…I didn’t…” Reggie sputtered then scowled at Bucky, “Do you even have clearance to be down here?”

“How else would I get down here if I didn’t?” he asked, one eyebrow raised before taking a bite of the scone.

“You’re the fucking Winter Soldier. You tell me.” Reggie retorted and before Bucky could reply…you did it for him.

“Reggie…I want you to shut the little gorilla chest thumping brain in your pants off and turn the big brain in your head on. This handsome, sweet, and considerate man here with me is, as you said, formerly the Winter Soldier. So…how would insulting him with his past ever be a good idea? Or is it that you’re trying to remind me? I am fully aware of who he is far more than you ever will be, Reggie, so don’t try to manipulate the situation so you look morally superior. You don’t. It makes you look small and petty. Nothing you say or do is going to make me suddenly change my mind about not being interested in you. We go through this every week. You are being deliberately obtuse.”

“So…you’re picking…him? The ex-HYDRA assassin that can fold someone’s spine in half backwards?” Reggie asked and you sighed while looking at Bucky.

“This is what I deal with every week.”

“It explains a lot. I never did that, though. Too time consuming. Quick knife work or a gun. Much more efficient.”

You nodded before looking back at Reggie, “You’re not shutting the gorilla off, yet. I’m warning you one more time to shut it off before I shut it off for you. Bucky Barnes is a good man. You don’t think so. I can see that you don’t think so…because you’re too wrapped up in your chest puffing charade to realize that I can see right fucking through you. You aren’t interested in me. You’re interested in the fact I’m pretty. Most of the time you stare at my tits, my legs, my hips, my waist, my lips, my body…all of that’s fantastic. I agree that it’s fantastic. I’m well aware of how amazingly sexy I am on any given day and so I know that’s all you’re interested in. Bucky-”

“And he’s not?” Reggie interrupted with a scowl while pointing at Bucky who just blinked coldly at him, slowly, unnervingly, and sipped his coffee again silently before speaking.

“You’re rude. Y’know that? You just interrupted her. You don’t interrupt a lady, but to answer your question…no. She’s gorgeous. There’s no point denying what she knows. Yeah…I think she’s beautiful and stunning…yeah, that’s the first thing I noticed when I first saw her, but honestly I kinda just like how she’s nice to me more than anything else. That and she’s fascinating because I can’t figure out why Thor is terrified of her.”

You couldn't help it and chuckled almost darkly, a wicked smirk on your face as you recalled just why the god of thunder is afraid of you. Not that you’d ever actually tell anyone. In public. It would ruin the fun.

“And Alpine likes her.” Bucky continued and Reggie looked at him confused, “My cat. You say one word about my cat and you will never speak again.”

Fear. You almost laughed at the look of pure fear on Reggie’s face as Bucky pointed a metal finger at him. Almost. Mostly you were annoyed at his persistence.

“I…wasn’t.” he said and looked at you as you sipped your coffee, your foot tapping idly in the air as you looked back at him.

To Bucky you looked a bit like a disgruntled cat. It was a look he recognized from watching Alpine whenever she met someone she didn��t like. Eyes narrowed slightly, silent, tense, tail flicking…yet in your case it was your foot tapping.

He had no idea what was going through your head, though he imagined it had something to do with getting rid of Reggie. The guy was dense. Stubborn and dense.

Like Steve but in a much worse and far more annoying and aggravating way.

“What?” Reggie asked and you answered while blinking.

“Sorry. Got lost in thought about my research.” You said and his eyes lit up, you’ve never mentioned this before.

“Maybe I can help.” He said hopefully, “You’ve never said what your research entails though. I know it’s…probably…quite complicated with…how often you’ve been accessing old records the past two months.”

“Researching how criminal syndicates get rid of people they don’t want around…yeah it gets complicated, but there was one method that was quite ingenious.” You said and gestured with what was left of your scone, “I can’t even disagree with them. Moving a body in one whole piece is always going to be difficult. Especially if it’s big.”

“You have to cut it up.” Bucky nodded, gesturing with his coffee cup in his metal hand, “Six pieces at least and then pile it together…and don’t put them in the freezer. People always find them in freezers.”

“Exactly. What my research has found is that the best thing to do is to feed those pieces to pigs. You don’t feed them for a few days so they’re really hungry.”

Bucky nodded again, “They’ll eat anything at that point…go through bone like butter…but you have to shave the heads and pull the teeth out. They can’t digest the teeth and the hair…so…”

“Yeah. Incidentally…a lot of crime syndicates own pig farms. The last case I studied was someone about Reggie’s size. They didn’t pull the teeth but sixteen pigs took care of the rest in about 8 minutes according to the witness reports. Which…doing math…I guess it works out…math has never been my thing.”

“Yeah. One pig can go through about two pounds of uncooked meat a minute.” Bucky nodded and gestured at Reggie, “He’s about 200…so yeah…about eight minutes. Nine tops.”

“Plus the time to pull teeth and shave the head…” You said and Reggie paled while you both looked at him calmly, seriously, and contemplatively…and then he walked away stiffly back into the archives.

You smiled.

Bucky finished his coffee, “He’s obviously never watched Snatch.”

“Nope.” You said with a short laugh and finish your coffee, “I’m surprised you sat through it.”

“I…think…I was mostly confused and trying to figure it out, but it was entertaining.” He replied with a nod and tossed the cup into the bin, “So…what are you really researching?”

“I’ve been tasked with pulling records from the seventies concerning alleged HYDRA activity in Idaho.” You answered and he sat back in his seat to think, “All I’ve found is something with turning a potato into a battery and something to do with disrupting supply chains. Nothing…monumental. It has the feel of…something they gave some complaining spoiled kid of a commander to do so they’d feel important or something like that.”

“That…is possible. I vaguely remember…one of the commanders had a kid he was grooming for leadership position. The most I remember about them is I really wanted to strangle them they were that annoying.” Bucky recalled, narrowing his eyes to think about it more, “That’s all I remember. Just thinking: ‘Shut up. Shut up. Please, yes…load the grenade launcher that way…just go outside and pull the trigger. It’ll work really well and do everyone a favor.’ He didn’t…sadly.”

“I can only imagine your disappointment and the difficulty you had in hiding all of that.”

“I learned to hide what I was thinking…fast.” He said and you nodded, “They then assumed I didn’t have thoughts. People still…kind of…do that.”

“You have plenty of thoughts. Sometimes fractured, but they’re still there. There’s nothing wrong with being quiet. Quiet doesn’t mean stupid. It just means quiet.” You replied before pausing as someone exited the archives with a stack of books, “Place them down and show me the clearance forms.”

“Oh come on…” the man sighed annoyed, “You do this every day. They’re the same books every day.”

“Don’t make me ask again and don’t make me decide to pat you down, Tim. Those might become mandatory if Shelly tries to hide papers in her bra again.” You say and he looked at you just as Bucky did, “They were peaking out at the top so I caught her and reported her behavior. Then put the paper at a deeper clearance level. She is the last person that needs to know how to cook up any kind of aphrodisiac.”

“Why is that even in there?” Bucky asked as you cross referenced the books to the form given.

“I don’t know why Tony puts things in archives. I just know he does and I suspect it has something to do with replenishing the population of some nearly extinct species considering it wasn’t even for humans.” You explain and Tim shook his head but accepted the books back from you, “You’re good to go. What’s Reggie doing in there by the way?”

“He’s researching pigs right now. I don’t know why…but he’s slowly turning various shades of pale and green.” He said before leaving and you chuckled.

"We should do this again." You said with a smile and Bucky chuckled while shaking his head, amused.

"You're somethin' else, doll, I swear." he said with a smile at you and you looked at him, watching the amused contentment filter through his eyes along with a glint of hope.

It made you smile as you nodded, "Yeah...but you like it."

"I might..." he replied casually, lightly...carefully.

"And I might...thank you for your service today...with a meal of your choosing. Breakast, lunch, dinner. I'll even cook. Banishing Reggie deserves a reward." You said with a smile and watched as the thoughts swirled behind those blue eyes.

All of them. Confusion, realization, and contemplation of what he could decide on. That ranged widely from the innocent to the not so innocent he shoved down and away before letting it peek back up. Just a bit. Exploratory. Curious. Furtive.

"What about dessert?" Bucky asked, his voice a touch lower, his eyes holding your gaze, lips twitching at the sides as you smiled.

"Dessert is definitely an option."

=======

A/N: There. Another finished one. I may continue this. Eventually.

HEY IT'S ME

Toby relationship HC'S but with a F!Reader who's super bug in communication.

Like if Toby has an outburst she'll try to sit down and talk it out, if he's upset at her she'll try to find the source.

But through everything, she's all super loving and never makes any indication to leave because in the end she's madly and deeply in love with Toby

Specifically one of those true crimes fans that once she met him was like "AWOOGA'

Sorry so super specific:(

𝐍𝐨𝐧𝐩𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝

(𝗮𝗱𝗷.) 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼

╰┈➤ Communication x Toby Head-canons

Summary: how well does Tobias handle communication and having an expressive/open S/O

Warning(s): Social stunted growth, Mentions of cannibalism, mentions of violence, mental health issues

Tobias is very complicated in how he handles communication, especially after breakdowns

Toby is.. expressive yes.. but not in a very traditional sense

Toby is all for you expressing yourself, he wants to know what you’re thinking 24/7 any problems or any issues

Need something fixed? Want something built? Want anything at all?

He will immediately get on it for you, doesn’t matter what time or day it is.. however he doesn’t handle.. emotions well

When it’s fights (which are very rare given how devoted he is) Tobias can be nasty. And I mean nasty. He can get mean and get mean fast. It’s mostly just himself

((POP him out a tit in the middle of a fight and he will completely become flustered))

It can be increasingly hard to calm him down and actually talk about things. And at most it’s actually just Tobias sobbing and apologizing, he gets scared everytime he gets negatively emotional around you

What if he does to you what he does to other?

Thinking about eating you while fucking is very different feeling than actually possible eating you

When it’s his own bad feelings or doubts he doesn’t say anything. He genuinely doesn’t know how to really communicate these things. Despite how much Tim and Brian handle him, Tobias has been like this for decades his understanding of human life is all very new

He just doesn’t see the point in talking about himself when all he sees himself as is a thing

Hence… Tobias can snap. And when he snaps it can be a lot

While Toby would never.. physically hurt you (not too much) he CAN and WILL throw/smash things around the house or outside

God forbid if he can’t vent out his angry around you. The consequences others have to face is… devastating

All in all, Tobias does genuinely care about you expressing yourself and communicating things. He might have a difficulty understanding concepts or instructions (show him first while explaining) but he will try

DO NOT expect him to handle himself or arguments well. I would suggest not even really trying to ‘teach’ him. Leave that to Tim and Brian

It’s not that.. Tobias really.. means to put you both on different levels it’s just. They understand and know more about Toby and what he is/experiences to be able to safely correct him

As his spouse Tobias sees you not necessarily below him, just you aren’t really qualified

Like getting a dog trainer for your dog

But you being okay with how.. gruesome Toby is? Yeah that turns him on especially if you help him lead people into the woods for him to kill/eat??

Oh his sweet darling <3

Toby loves how you love, and he always appreciates it. Just.. when he’s irritated don’t try talking things out. Just hold him maybe a few kisses then just let him be

Lucifer managed to drag Adam to the bed and when he laid down Adam clung to him even more but still didn't look at him.

Lucifer: I'm not going anywhere Adam...... I like you but I just need help. Hey, look at me.

He cupped his face, his golden eyes were puffy from crying, tears fresh and dried on his face. Lucifer placed a kiss on his forehead.

Lucifer: How old are you?

Adam was thrown by the random question: Umm.... 669 years?

Lucifer: It's time you act like an adult, at least here at home. I can help you.

He's never had someone want to help him before.

Adam: Y-yeah? I've never given a shit.....

He could tell by why kick a guy while he's down?

Lucifer ran his hands over Adam's horns and through his hair, it seemed to be helping to soothe him. He did really like him he just needs to smarten up.

Lucifer: Well it's time to, okay? I've been here a month and we haven't even gone anywhere together. I was trapped in that house when I was alive I won't live like that again.

Adam nodded, he just couldn't let Lucifer go, physically that is he clung to him like a koala. Breathing in his scent, he smelled like his body wash and whiskey.

Adam: You went drinking?

Lucifer: Just a little, I met the sweetest girl! She gave me all this information about being new to Hell it was actually super helpful. So I took her out for a drink, we swapped numbers, she's a real doll...... Come on big guy cheer up, I'm here to stay. This is a really nice apartment and it can be amazing if you keep up with it.

He could tell that Adam was just used to people leaving and that he likely had abandonment issues.

Vaggie also told him that only sinners can sell their souls, Hellborn don't have one to begin with. That's why learning a demons real name is important. Most of the names they give likely aren't the ones they were given at birth.

Lucifer: How about tomorrow we go out and go somewhere yeah? It could just be the two of us or I can meet your friends.

Adam nodded, that sounded nice. Lucifer held him and he felt the blonde fall asleep. He couldn't believe that he was still here even after everything, Lucifer was still here.

He'll do better, so he'll stay.

Adam closed his own eyes and didn't let Lucifer go all night, he just needed to know he was there.

House husband!Lucifer summoning goat!demon Adam for personal reasons 👀

But things quickly go wrong when he accidentally releases the demon and it eats all of his food, and tries to kill his wife.

Woops 🤷

RIP Lilith lol

-

Lucifer wasn't sure about this but what else did he have to lose? Ouji boards are sold in toy stores for children, if an 8 year old can summon a demon so can he.

He just needs a break........ Lilith had been so demanding lately and he doesn't know what else to do to relax and make her happy.

Nothing seems to make her happy at the moment and when she's not happy, no one under their roof is happy.

A demon summoning might seem a bit silly or extreme, but Lucifer doesn't know what else to do. Worst case scenario it just doesn't work and he wasted $10 on a book.

Lucifer: Here goes nothing.

He drew the symbol on the floor and stood a good distance away before saying the words.

Lucifer didn't expect it to work.

But it did.

The symbol glowed a demonic red color and a tall goat demon appeared in front of him.

Lucifer: Holy shit......

Adam: Who dares-!?........ Oh my Satan you're adorable!

I'm sorry I can't take your call right now, I'm becoming unhinged about Transformers again,,,

[mariailoveyou-guerin]

Considering it’s POLIN mf season if we/it was/were a certain crazy miserable loser fandom they/we would’ve been mad about the fact not only is it polin season but everyone else getting promo too and Claudia J is with Luke/Nic same way Simone Kate Kanthony stans was mad that charithra existed really and was with JH/SA for like 2-3 interviews throughout whole show I’ve seen it and the fact they as is in nic and charithra only did 1 cover solo each and 1 EW with two other cast members yet Kate Simone Kanthony stans truly went insane lost it and was calling nic Luke and especially charithra nic all kinds of cruel vile nasty things and being racist and fatphobic for no fcvking reason but here we are seeing everyone like Claudia Jess Hannah get so much promo and not minding it and even when Claudia is doing way more promo then what charithra ever did with Simone or with their precious kanthony ship and fake favs! this isn’t even half of the amout of pr promo stuff and press they’ve as in those 3 non lead girls have done or for the whole Bridgerton cast on polin season but sure simone

Kanthony Kate stans was being miserable psychopaths when charithra did 2-3 interviews with Simone and she Nicola got 1 solo cover and the fact they hated on Luke who didn’t even get an ounce of what Luke T, Claudia or Johnny is getting now when it’s not their season but his yeah I’ll never forget it or forgive! Poor Nicola Luke and Charithra they deserved so much better especially charithra and nic who got extra worse because of their acting range being superior let’s be honest here guys they outdid their precious ship on their season because they didn’t have a problem with any of the other actors or cast only those 2 girls and Luke and Nicola Luke as friends all because they are actually besties in real life and fans shipped them something they can’t 😔 do for their fav ship they use as self insert to be with a pretty white boy since JB is not straight truly got what they deserve in s3 and I’m so happy for POLIN CC winning and for charithra Nic being such a IT girl had a whole subfandom crying about them and their every move all year long for the past 2 years even when it wasn’t their season yet! That’s on acting range that’s on ACTRESS!

In the end we know why Kate kanthony Simone stans was mad about charithra existence it’s because CC aka Edwina just outshined them and outsold their favs and ship with ease and why they was mad about Nicola and Luke because they were just real friends off screen and their fav wasn’t that close😂 so couldn’t ship them 😂

[geddy-leesbian]

YES. I gotta get on my soapbox, Darkside Chronicles is genuinely a better take on the RE2 story than RE2R. I live for the Claire/Ada beef.

Claire: Where are you hurrying off to?

Leon: Where's Ada go?

Claire: She could've gone to the parking lot. This will take us down to the sewer.

Leon: Let's go.

Claire: Wait, Leon. If she did come through here, why would she go alone? There's something about her that bothers me.

Leon: She just wants to get out of here, Claire, and she needs our help.

Claire: Men… You just want to impress her, don't you?

[Claire and Leon hear someone behind a wall they can't get through, but has a gap at the top]

Leon: Hey, anybody in here? Ada, is that you? Are you alright?

Ada [from other side of wall]: Here. I thought you could use this. [She sets ammo on the ledge of the wall gap for Leon to take.] Good luck, Leon. This is goodbye.

Leon: What? Ada, wait!

Claire [sounding very annoyed]: There she goes again.

Leon: If she can get out of here safely, that's all that matters.

Claire [still annoyed]: Well, if you're worried about her, we could go after her.

Leon: No, it's fine. We need to find Sherry.

⬆️ I think that one might be my favorite moment in the RE2 retelling, the way Leon clearly wants to chase after Ada, but still prioritizes Sherry.

Claire: Leon! What happened? Leon: I got shot… There was a woman– Claire: Wait, you mean...? Leon: No. Not Ada. She–

[flashback of Ada treating Leon's wounds I won't bother transcribing because it's not super relevant to my point, important thing is that Ada agrees to help Leon]

Claire [sarcastically]: I guess she's on our side then. Lucky us.

As good as those interactions are, showing Claire's view of Ada, having one-on-one interactions would be amazing and I wish they had done that for RE2R. (Since the DSC retelling has Claire and Leon together for almost the entire time, aside from Leon falling into the sewer and taking the bullet for Ada, one-on-one interactions just wouldn'tiu have made much sense so the Leon interacting with Ada and Claire being pissed about it was perfect for that game specifically, but RE2R could have made one-on-one Claire/Ada work if they wanted.) Having a full game also would have opened up so much potential for conflict between Claire and Ada, DSC did a fantastic job, but at the end of the day, they still had to squeeze three different plots into one game, things had to be condensed and left out. Comparing it to RE2R just makes me sad because RE2R would have been so amazing if they had taken some ideas from DSC and built on them. Like as much as I like what DSC did with Ada, she doesn't really try deceiving anyone, none of the FBI stuff, she's very suspicious from the start and just brushes Claire and Leon off after realizing Leon doesn't know shit. (She sees him in his RPD uniform and asks if he knows anything about Ben Bertolucci and takes off when he says he just got to Raccoon City and doesn't know anything.) Well actually she does deceive them by faking her death, but until that she never really tries to pretend she's someone she's not and doesn't actively lie, she just lies by omission mostly. Like she won't tell them what she's up to, but she doesn't give them a fake story either, just nothing, says something vague and walks away. I like her being more deceptive/manipulative, it fits the spy thing more than her just avoiding topics which makes her look sketchier than if she had given them a bullshit cover story to keep them off her back.

To shift gears a bit, Leon interacting with Annette was also great! The call really gets me...

Leon: Wait, I'm picking something up. A signal…

Claire: A radio signal? From who?

Annette, from Leon's radio: Do you read me?

Claire: Annette?

Annette: Is Sherry there?

Leon: Yeah. She was attacked. She's in critical condition. [angry tone and body language] Where are you now? [pause] Hey, you still there?

Annette: Be careful… Especially with that woman.

Leon: What woman?

Annette: Ada. She's a special agent sent here to retrieve the G sample. She was approaching the researchers and obtaining information about Umbrella. She'll do whatever it takes to accomplish her purpose. She's highly dangerous.

Leon: I think you're wrong. You don't know what you're talking about. Ada isn't… Annette? Annette…!? Dammit. She hung up on me.

This post is already getting too long so I'm not going to break out more transcripts, but there's also the moment where Annette's dying wish is for Leon and Claire to save Sherry, and says that she wants them to tell her that she has always loved her, even though she failed as a mother. (I also vastly prefer DSC Annette's characterization to RE2R. She's a lot more gray. She fucked up, badly, but it's clear she genuinely loved Sherry and she did a lot more to protect her and made her much more of a priority than in RE2R.) And then in the ending cutscene Leon tells Sherry that the vaccine that saved her was from her mother, who loved her until the very end. (And Sherry just cries and doesn't believe him and says he's lying, because mommy never...)

I really like the concept of Leon being softer on Annette too. (not pulling it up IIRC there's one DSC scene where you can see from body language/tone Claire really doesn't like Annette, but Leon is more neutral.) It kind of goes with my headcanons of Leon having had a very rough upbringing with a shitty family, so he sees that Annette cares a little bit and it's enough for him to view her positively, because his own family didn't even care that much, he's just got a broken normal meter and a very, very low bar for good parenting. He gets a lot angrier with her when the radio call happens, but again softens up when her literal dying wish is for them to get the vaccine and save Sherry's life.

Ada doesn't ever interact with Sherry in DSC, but now that you mention it, that would have been something really interesting to explore.

Okay I'll get down from my soapbox now

i wholeheartedly believe that leon and claire’s roles after re2 (moreso the remake than the og) should have been switched. they’re two sides of the same coin (innate need to help people, wanting to take down greedy corporations, etc), but leon’s more passive and, i would say, more inclined to exposing things as his way of help, whereas claire is much more aggressive and quick to action. in this essay i will—

*rotating in my head how magical girls have a similar issue to mecha in which majority of west speaking anime fans brush off the genre for stereotyping it into one thing besides the popular shows but magical girls have had it significantly worse because madoka actually effected the genre into becoming unnecessarily darker for a period and it’s also a reflection of how media aimed at women has more negative biased to it then media aimed at men*

Wow this is so fucked up and objectively more worse then mecha just getting brushed off for being “robot fights”.

*proceeds to continue not have a strong interest in magical girls even after this realization*

You know, considering how many posts I recently made about Movie Peach and how negative they are, there’s something I feel the need to clarify since I wouldn’t be surprised if people had some assumptions and I don’t want words I didn’t say being put into my mouth (Tl;Dr at the end):

As a completely original character, fully detached from everything other than the movie, I have no issues with Movie Peach. She’s badass in a fun way, spunky, has a few cute faces, and I especially appreciate how despite being a strong female character stereotype she’s very supportive of Mario and builds him up rather than putting him down, it makes her likeable and their relationship very cute.

And yes, this is the way I perceived her from the get-go, but only mentioned it in my movie reaction post made all the way back when said movie came out, hence needing to say it again now. To quote that post: “Least favorite character is DK. It could’ve been Peach but my issues with her stem from how different she is from her games counterpart. If you take her movie character as a brand-new character rather than a game adaptation, she’s actually pretty great as a guide and strong mentor.” And while there are things in this post I now disagree with, this part remains my current opinion.

So yeah, as an original character, she’s pretty great...but that’s also the issue.

Movie Peach is not an original character. She’s supposed to be an adaptation of a pre-existing character who already has her own personality. And as an adaptation, Movie Peach fails at every level. Not only that, but several dialogues keep hyping her up in a way that comes off as Illuminations looking down on Games Peach, you know, the character their own Peach is supposed to be an adaptation of.

That’s why I take such issue with Movie Peach. It’s not the character itself, it’s how bad of an adaptation she is. And if I did my job correctly, every single time I talk negatively of her in my posts, it’s about her as an adaptation specifically. The only instance of me being an ass for no reason is in my table comparison post where I call her a dumbass, which I point out in the tags to be me throwing shade and not something I actually believe.

Now I also want to say that I hate Movie Peach for what she represents and the consequences of her existence on Peach’s character and her perception by the public, so to keep it short I’m going with bullet points:

It annoys me a lot that a multi-million dollars company couldn’t be bothered to adapt her character properly, especially since they apparently closely worked with Nintendo and the concept art very much show them who Peach is as a person (the one where she’s encouraging Mario to fight DK reminds me of the 86 Anime where she keeps having Mario fight her battles while powerless to defend herself; also it’s funny how in the art of Games Peach reacting to Movie Peach it’s obvious the artist had no idea what personality Movie Peach has). The fact she’s a favorite character of mine doesn’t help and makes me feel robbed from seeing a beloved character on the big screen for the first time. And obviously them low-key insulting her by hyping up Movie Peach makes it worse.

Even before getting into the fandom I knew that Peach isn’t the most well-liked character, with many gamers especially finding her bland and boring. This was already sad on its own, but now those same people are praising a character who’s completely different from her for being “so much better” or “finally giving her a personality”. It sucks. Games Peach deserves better than that.

With those things in mind I don’t think I need to explain why the fact this characterization is possibly bleeding out into the games is something I dread. Now I can live with a cover art change, but if they change her actual character I’m going to scream. Especially if they only do it to Peach and no other character. And yes I know some people also pointed out a possible direction change for her voice but 1. for some reason I don’t really care, possibly because she’s been through quite a lot of voice-actors already 2. we only clearly hear her voice in the Showtime trailer during the Kung-Fu part so maybe her voice will differ depending on the costume, it is a stageplay after all, and 3. the Wonder short with Bowser has her let out four noises, one of which has a different tone while the other three keep her usual high octave, so I’m not sure if they truly intend on changing her voice. Haven’t played Wonder yet tho so I can’t speak to all her other voicelines.

Hopefully this will be my last post about this outside of answering asks and reblogs as I’m always open to discussions/debates. I don’t like bringing negativity and especially not drama to my blog but, considering the extensive rant I made about this, it only feels right to make sure people don’t misinterpret where my issues come from, since I can absolutely understand people seeing my posts and concluding that I hate Movie Peach for who she is rather than what she represents.

Now, instead of being negative about Movie Peach I’d rather focus on being positive about Games Peach, mostly through the fics I’m working on.

Tl;Dr: Movie Peach would be genuinely great as an original character but alas she was put inside the skin of someone with a completely different personality from hers. And it's very hard to look past this given the consequences of Movie Peach's existence on how people percieve Peach as a whole now on top of a possible change in her games character.
