"Can i borrow your kitchen? "

that morning left barton feeling a sense of cold that seeped all the way down into his bones; so, as one can imagine, standing in the middle of his doorway for any amount of time was not pleasant. but it seemed like trouble had been brought to his feet in the form of another rogue... and of course, it was the joker. talk about bad luck. barton thought about asking how the other had even found him here, but also, did he really want to know?

he rose both eyebrows at the other and stared the joker down to see if he was perhaps joking. unfortunately, though, there didn't turn out to be any punchline to what he said after all. an incredulous laugh left barton's mouth as he made it clear to the joker that he wasn't going to entertain his antics, ❝ uhh... is that really what you tracked me down here for? yeah, no. find someone else's kitchen to use if you don't have your own — bye. ❞

he reached out to slam the door on the other's face as quickly as possible as he prepared himself to lock the door. barton didn't want the other to be getting any ideas about forcing his way in or anything like that... especially when several of his kids were home. the joker did have a really bad track record with them, to say the least, and so there was no way barton was letting him be around them. he'd have to be a fool to place any kind of trust in the man.

3, 26 or 39 for hawkahy

Mayhaps even all three as little a treat

AAAA I could only do one and still make it quick, BUT! I hope you enjoy all the same! 26.) Coming while wearing underwear/pants

The moment Hawkeye has Mulcahy backed up against the wall inside the chaplain's tent, he can feel how fast the man's breathing against him. He's clearly still not used to this. Not all that surprising, really, if he's been wrestling his own lack of awareness of his own nature rather than clear and obvious temptation for all these years. But as Hawk leans to peek through the window and make sure no one's coming, Mulcahy's shaky hands find the front of his bathrobe and grips it into white-knuckling fists as though this is the one point of contact that'll hold him together.

"It's okay," Hawk whispers, a faint bitter flavor on his tongue. He can't look at the ethereal priest. He can't touch his skin. He can't kiss him. There's barbed wire strewn beneath Mulcahy's skull, laced through neural pathways, around lobes. His very own personal crown of thorns, tucked right under the surface. "It's all right, I promise. Hey, hey." When Mulcahy buries his face in Hawk's shoulder, he fights every urge inside of him to break the unspoken rules and kiss his head, but memories of the last time he'd tried and how Mulcahy flinched away left scars that are still swollen red. "It's good. Right?"

"Hawkeye," Mulcahy breathes back, the tickle of hot air melting his neck, dripping desire down his spine. "Please, I-I... Yes, yes, please."

It's the best he's going to get today. Hawkeye bites his bottom lip as he slips his hand between them, palms over Mulcahy's cock trapped beneath his fatigues. It's got to hurt him when Hawk works him over like this, he's sure of it, but the muffled groans against his robe's fabric suggest otherwise. Maybe he's still just so sensitive that anything is good. From what little Hawkeye's gotten out of him, he can barely manage to touch himself without guilt ravaging his soul.

There are days where Hawkeye wants to swim all the way back to some Catholic school where little Johnny Mulcahy was taught to fear any sense of joy, pleasure, experience, delight, and give a dozen nuns a piece of his mind. If they love a man who overturned tables and chased people with a whip so much, then they'd adore Hawkeye Pierce.

But today is different. Today's the other kind of day, the one where Hawkeye wants to make Mulcahy feel so tenderly held and loved on that he forgets the sound of his own name. He forgets whatever they fucking did to him. He forgets everything but Hawkeye.

As Hawk gently grinds the heel of his palm along Mulcahy's hardness, the groans shift into such lovely musical moans that he's almost certain no one else has ever gotten to hear. He drinks them up, his heart racing, his eyes gazing unseeingly through the window. "That's it... C'mon, d'you know how good you're doing?"

A sweet whimper hums against him like silk on skin.

What he wouldn't give to drop to his knees and put his mouth on him instead, really make him see stars. It's not fair that he's had his face fucked and his brain wiped clean a thousand times over and he can't even use what he learned on the very man he's so hungry for. Hungry to hold. To fall asleep with.

Getting too deep here, fella.

When he starts to pick up speed, press a little firmer, something shifts him, and it takes him a moment to realize what it was. Mulcahy's moving his hips, grinding against his palm, and it's so shocking that Hawk freezes in place. Mulcahy huffs, pulls his bathrobe harder, bucks forward one more time before he starts to lean away, but Hawk pushes him firmer against the wall, keeps him there. "No, no, that's good," he coaxes, keeping his voice low and sweet. It takes a long second, but with a shaky breath against him, Mulcahy begins moving once more. Participating. Chasing his pleasure.

It's the first time he's joined in, and it nearly makes Hawkeye dizzy with how the blood rushes straight south.

They work together, Hawkeye providing just enough pressure, Mulcahy providing the pace and the angle, and though he knows he's flirting with danger, he can't stop himself from cupping the back of Mulcahy's head. Like he found a button, the moans pick up in astonishing volume, and Hawk squeezes his eyes shut, takes a chance on faith alone that no one's going to suddenly head this way and need this man who should belong to everyone more than he belongs to Hawkeye, who Hawk is going to have all the same.

And when Mulcahy breaks, his voice cracks on a raw, "Hawkeye—" and nothing could stop him from pulling him tight against his chest, holding him close.

There is no heaven and yet Hawkeye suddenly understands why there are people who believe in it, because it's difficult to imagine this sense of flying and hope and pure delight being something that one rarely gets to receive. He grins, nuzzles Mulcahy's hair. "God. Perfect. That was so good. Hey, how, how are you?"

Sometimes Mulcahy needs to cry. Sometimes he needs to pull away. Very rarely, he'll strike a coy joke, the kind that make Hawkeye burst out laughing from sheer relief. But this time, Mulcahy tips his head up to meet his eyes, takes a deep breath, then bobs up and presses his mouth to Hawkeye's chin.

They pause. Stare. Mulcahy clears his throat. "I-I don't think I aimed that quite where I—"

Hawkeye cups his face in both hands and crushes him into the wall with a breathless kiss, and God help him, but Mulcahy holds him right back.

favorite ways of eating potatoes (i want potatoes)

hard to pick a single favorite but my usual go to when i'm cooking potatoes for myself is to cut em into wedges (or just big chunks if the potatoes are small), douse them in olive oil, salt, and whatever herbs or spices i feel like, and then roast them hot in the oven until they're soft and golden. usually takes like 20-30 minutes at 425f flipping them over once or twice, i find. any potato would work but gold potatoes are usually what's in my pantry. although if i can get purple potatoes at the farmers market i use those bc they're fun. it's a dirt simple way to prepare potatoes but they're super good, the tastiness to effort ratio is super high, and you can cook something else on the other half of the sheet pan at the same time too so you get a whole dinner with only one dirty pan

Isat ask game; 5 for Siffrin, 2 for Odile and 12 for Loop

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

All my life, there you go Oh please stay, just this once Anyway All my life, there they go Oh please stay, for the night Anyway

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

that she Did That and stopped siffrin from looping. she rly is That Bitch

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

hm it's interesting thinking up a headcanon that is specifically for loop, rather than siffrin but dialed up or down.

i think... they should get into making really abstract art! like textured paint slapped onto fucked up canvases, but also more sculptural found object mixed media stuff... kinda like carving but more forgiving, kinda like collecting souvenirs but with more purpose... and they don't want to admit that they're using it to process and express their emotions but possibly every single piece is about what it feels like to be a fucked up star thing copy.

[doecrossing]

just sat through the most horrible, awkward, tense dinner I've ever experienced in my whole life

[crossbackpoke-check]

i saw the d3 acha coho tiktok and saw your tag about how to spell s(h)(e)(a)(w)n and as I watched it with the roster pulled up next to the video so I could figure things out I HAD to come tell you that it was spelled 'shjon' because LOL. but then I saw your other post and saw that you not only already figured it out but you had a DIFFERENT tag about the 8-3 game last night. i know what game you're talking about; i listened on the radio. i've been sad ever since and it would make me feel better to tell you that you're not special - everyone takes advantage of our terrible powerplay and yet we REFUSE to stop drop passing. sorry you definitely didn't expect a salty shiny helmet fan in your inbox just please be gentle with us tonight. Christmas isn't for another month - stop lighting up our goalie :( although huge congrats on winning the tournament last year i was cheering for you so hard to defeat the Evil and you did :)

​feeling shrimp emotions right now as i try to convey the whiplash this ask gave me… first of all 🥺🥰😭 that you were gonna come tell me how to spell shjon and then 🫵 SAME GAME???

but GOD the experience of “listen i know—shhhhh shhh shhh shhh i haven’t even started yet—i KNOW it looks cool when you do a no-look behind the back pass. it does! when it works. you know what we look like when it doesn’t work? fuckin’ STUPID!!!!” is universal. me 🤝 you 🤝 yelling at our hockey team to stop doing stupid drop passes!!!!

(p.s. wish: granted! most of it was the fact that your baby goalie did better than [redactedx2] and that’s all the shop i will talk here for purposes of not doxxing either of us lmaooo)

△ Who and when and how was your first time?

Send me a △ and ask a really invasive question aimed at my character

"Depends on what ya count as ya 'first time'."

2/10

"If yer meanin' the first time doin' anythin'... I dunno who he was. Some fella I was hangin' around with fa drugs. As fa when, that's also up fa debate. Too young, that's fa sure. We were flirtin' at some bar, he was buyin' me drinks all night, givin' me bumps a' whateva' it was he was supplyin'. Next thing I knew, I was suckin' him off in the restroom. It was... fast, hah. Only thing I really rememba' feelin' was scared a' getting caught. Think I fooled around with him a few more times, but afta' I started messin' with guys like that, it was all kinduva blur, ya know? I was so fuckin' high all the time. Hardly remembered my own goddamn name."

9/10

"As fa what most people think of as ya first time... 'Specially fa straight folks, and fa the time I lived in... Well, that was a fuckin' trainwreck. I was datin' my childhood best friend, she was head ova' heels fa me and I was... well, I was an asshole. A closet queer tryin' ta convince everyone an' myself I wasn't. So we started goin' together, and it was a disasta' start ta finish. When she first started hintin' at gettin' hot an' heavy, I'd shut it down - get all defensive, ya know. Then, when it was gettin' too suspicious ta keep goin', I gave in and we... tried. It was fuckin' embarassin', I knew it would be - couldn't fuckin' perform, if ya catch my drift. I was... pissed off and nervous the whole time, and she was a virgin who didn't know what ta expect... blamed herself fa me not bein' able ta keep it up. Like it was her fault I was a f.ag. But I, uh. Might not a' been too kind about it either. Wasn't exactly the most comfortin' when she was upset, thinkin' she did somethin' wrong. Like I said- I was an asshole.

"We didn't last long afta' that, and she neva' suggested doin' anythin' again."

4/10

"My first time gettin' fucked was by a guy I was... seein', I guess. I was crazy about him. But it was... complicated, ya know? He was... older, friend a' my fuckin' dad's - ain't that somethin'. Married with kids. I was young and stupid and told myself he'd choose me ova' them one a' these days. First time he eva' fucked me was in this fleabag motel, I was so fuckin' nervous but he was real nice about it. The actual sex was... well, it was awkward. But good. He treated me right, the first time. Made me feel good. Neva' had a guy actually botha' with that before. But we only fucked a few more times afta' that, before he... well, let's just say it ain't a happy ending."

for the ask list: Any fandom tropes you can’t resist? & Any fandom tropes you can’t stand?

AHHH Hello Anon!! Thank you for being so kind as to send me a question from the Fanfic Ask Meme! If anyone else wants to totally make my day and send some more the list can be found HERE. I love chatting about fic and am so grateful that you've taken time out of your day to send this my way!

S: Any fandom tropes you can’t resist?

Does angst count as a trope? I love messy angst and miscommunication because it just feels super raw and and human to me. To no ones surprise, I LOVE a good SickFic situation omg bring on the suffering! I'm also very passionate about niche AUs where you can fully tell the author has lived in that world IRL. The omegaverse/mpreg will also always be a guilty pleasure of mine. I love the way different authors tackle those topics, the discussions it brings up about sexuality and gender roles, and how authors are so creative with building their own worlds and lore.

T: Any fandom tropes you can’t stand?

I hate when woman are made out to be the villain because their existence doesn't fit an author's personal m/m narrative whether it be in RPF or other fictional media. If female characters are going to be included, I personally believe they deserve better. Luckily, there is so much wonderful fic out there, it is very easy to go hmm this one probably isn't for me, then hit the back button and find something else to read, no harm, no foul.

Thank you so much for taking the time to send these my way! I love talking about fic and tropes, and think that fanfic is such a special space because there are so many different tropes that appeal to different people! Are there any that you in particular would like to see me try and explore?

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and send me this ask! I hope. you are having a wonderful day and a fantastic rest of your week!

Kicks the door HIHI

GROOVES AND EMP

ABOUT ANGER, WHAT DO THEY FEAR AND RANDOM HC GO

okay 😈 these are kinda long but whatever these were fun

grooves on anger:

grooves is the type to usually keep his cool and not let things get to him-- but when they do he often tries not to outwardly show his anger or disappointment. but unfortunately for him, many things can make him upset. he usually tries to calm himself down before he gets to the point of outwardly expressing his anger, he often uses breathing exercises or closes his eyes for a moment and tries to focus on something else. sometimes he'll even force a smile to try and convince himself and others that he's not seething.

but when that doesn't work and he's still angry, he will huff and scrunch his brows up and grimace. he sometimes will fold his arms as well. his tone will drop significantly and sometimes he speaks in a more cynical and cruel way, on rare occasions even saying something hurtful just to make whoever made him mad feel just the way he does. i think once when he was having a really rough day, he even snapped harshly at his moon penguins during filming and shouted something hurtful at them. of course they were all stunned and grooves immediately regret his outburst towards them but he had to take a moment away from the set to cool off for awhile. he of course regrets any time that he loses his temper (not wanting to be anything like his rival in that regard) but i also think he has a lot of trouble owning up to others when he's hurt them with it and it takes him a long time to apologize.

i also think when grooves is really really mad he sometimes can be rather destructive, though usually this is towards his own property or himself but sometimes his anger overwhelms him so much that he ends up hurting others with it. (as we could see if he is the antagonist of ch2)

empress on anger:

of course as we can see in the game, empress is the type who is quick to anger and this is usually when she feels as though someone has lied to her or betrayed her by not being loyal to her. we saw her resort immediately to destructive means when she threw that poor metro cat and the way she responded to hat kid betraying her.

but i also like to think empress usually is the type to give people an unspoken 'second chance' before she acts on her anger, though usually without telling them what that second chance is exactly. though this can be as simple as giving someone one more chance to repeat what they said if she thinks they're lying to her or give them the chance to retract what they did or said that bothered her. that's why she hesitates at first on killing that one metro cat she accused of touching her jewelry and didn't immediately kill hat kid when she caught her taking the timepieces from the vault, when it's clear that she can if her reaction to hitting her is anything to go by. in a sense she'll "hear someone out" and if the answer she gets is one that she doesn't want to hear, she'll explode into even more anger which either comes in the form of shouting or being violent towards whatever frustrated her.

you can usually visibly see in her body language and expressions when she is angry or becoming angry. this can usually be seen by the typical signs of anger in cats, like her tail swishing or her ears being folded back or her eyes being dilated. sometimes her fur will raise and she will squeeze her hands together, her claws becoming even more prominent than before. she'll even tap her fingers rhythmically on the counter to show how bothered she is. she usually uses intimidation first before she outwardly acts on her anger as well and most who cross her back down when she shows signs of being upset to avoid being attacked by her. 

grooves on fears:

grooves is afraid of a few things. he often tries to stay a confident individual and pretend like he's not afraid. but he definitely fears everything that he's worked for never amounting to anything in the end. he fears dying alone and unwanted by those around him. sometimes he feels as though that's all life will ever be for him and he's terrified of it so he fights as hard as he can to keep that from happening. in a way, i think it's to escape from what happened to him in his youth (or those moments when audiences would attack him) because he would do anything for that to never happen to him again.

sometimes he's also afraid of becoming just like his rival in every way, especially conductor's worst aspects, and any time he catches himself acting like him he's filled with dread.

he's also got some stage fright without his sunglasses on and is often afraid to look anyone other than his rival in the eye for fear that they'll see who he really is inside and all of his flaws.

empress on fears:

empress outwardly looks as though she's a rather fearless lady, if anything she seems to strike fear into others more than she seems to be afraid of anything. but i feel as though this is because she fears being vulnerable and getting too close to others because of what could happen if she does. she tends to keep others at arms length and never lets many people get close to her because the few times that she did let someone in, they betrayed her trust and some even broke her heart. so in a way, she's closed off because she's afraid of getting hurt.

she also fears having no wealth to fall back on because i feel like as empress was growing up, she didn't have the most wealthy upbringing, having to work very hard to get where she is now and if something threatens that, she's likely not going to take it very well.

random hc grooves:

i like to think grooves has a collection of unique sunglasses and hair picks that he wears on different occasions with matching outfits. i also think he will paint the claws on his feet different shades and on occasion wears jewelry, usually necklaces or hair jewelry in the feathers of his brows or in his hair.

random hc empress:

although empress isn't usually outwardly affectionate to others, she sometimes shows how she cares about someone by giving them something. of course, she always has some excuse prepared like calling it payment or reward for someone helping her with her cause. but it's hard to deny that it wasn't intended as a special gift for that someone if it's something that appeals to their custom tastes, like a ring studded with their favorite gemstone or another piece of jewelry embedded with their name. or even going out of her way to travel across the metro herself to retrieve a special gift for someone when there's only one more in stock.

[aparticularbandit]

Due to the persistent amount of hate I have been receiving over the past nearly two months, I will be instituting some general ask box principles in terms of what asks I will - or, rather, won’t - be answering.

First and foremost, I will no longer be answering asks regarding the following:

G!P and my views thereof

RPF and my views thereof

Specifics on: 1) My gender labels 2) My romantic/sexual orientation 3) My age

These are not new boundaries, but I figured I would list them here.

I will be adding to this list when/if more topics come up.

Second, I will no longer be answering asks that respond to other asks.

What this means is that (with one potential exception), if someone sends in a question regarding, for instance, my views on, I don’t know, calico cats and someone else pulls a quote from it critiquing said views - I’m not going to answer it!  If you want to remark on something I’ve said in a reply, answer it on the original post itself.

There are a couple of reasons for this:

It keeps the discussion all in one logical place, so I’m not cross-referencing multiple posts or following links to earlier posts or, on occasion, answering multiple asks related to the same post.

It should hopefully cut down on the bad faith asks, given that most, if not all, of them have happened on anonymous.

I suppose you can still send those asks in; I just won’t be answering them.

Emoji anons are the only exception to this.  However, as before, I can still choose to answer those or not at my discretion.

Hopefully, this will help alleviate some of the issues I’ve been having over the past nearly two months.  If not, I may return to this and modify it.

We’ll see.

🍻 - tolerating alcohol for Mack

How good is my muse at---

"Don't really drink that stuff. But I reckon when I did it didn't do too much."

[supercantaloupe]

Happy sleepover Saturday! I have for you the most minor of complaints. Positively insignificant.

Why do people take mediocre characters with so much potential for improvement and play them straight in fan works? We are blessed with the freedom to diverge from their canon characterization and make them better. But I must also acknowledge that it’s their right to not do that, for the fan works are their own.

I also have for you a question: what do you like most about yourself?

tbh i think, in a lot of fanworks, the creators become so focused on their character or relationship of choice that they don't pay as much attention or care to the other characters from the work they are adapting, even when those characters within the context of their own fanwork might benefit from some fleshing out. since it's the realm of fan creation i'm not gonna make any sweeping complaints about what should or shouldn't be done because ultimately fan creation is supposed to be fun and fulfilling to the creator, and i can't begrudge anyone for having particular favorites that they focus on more than anyone else in a particular work. but since i am the type who likes to explore things beyond the limits of canon in many directions based on the evidence provided in the original work, i do agree that it can be a disappointing missed opportunity when something with the potential for great expansion is overlooked.

what do i like most about myself...i don't know, i feel like i have a hard time being openly and sincerely self complimentary for fear of coming off as annoyingly self obsessed or something. also i think it's a hard thing to choose. but since you asked, i'm very proud of how smart/thoughtful i am, and that i generally try to approach every situation by thinking it through from multiple angles. but my coworkers and supervisors would probably go on about how quick, willing, and adaptable i am at work haha. i do enjoy being Useful
