Slashers with an S/O who has a Newfoundland Dog

A Newfoundland Dog is my dream dog, and I had this thought of stabby men with a Newfie dog.

Characters: The Sinclairs, Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers (78, 07, and 2018), Thomas Hewitt, Bubba Saywer, and John Kramer (I know he's not a Slasher but I've watched Saw X and wanted another character to add here)

CW: Boys getting Slobby kisses from a large dog

Vincent Sinclair

Your dog came with you when you came to Ambrose. A 6 month old Newfoundland Dog

Your puppy found the way to the basement and found Vincent working at his desk

He was surprised that it wasn't Jonesy, and he walked with pup to find you

Let's just say one thing let to other

Vincent fell in love with Annie, your chocolate Newfie. He thought she was just like Jonesy, but he was so wrong.

6 months later and Annie's head is near his hips

You love seeing your big doggo with your Wax Hubby, giving kisses

Left side of his face is covered in slobber

Vincent would sketch your Newfe when whenever he doesn't know what to draw

Jonesy has a new friend to play with

Bo Sinclair

Your 3 yo Newfie walked into the Church when you weren't looking and had to go get

Bo turned around and got a big slobbery kiss from your doggo

"DAVID, GET BACK HERE." You said getting your Dog to come to you. Leaving Bo's face covered. "Sorry." You said as you closed the door.

You were telling your dog not to do that, when Bo came out to have a Cigarette

"Sorry about that. David is really friendly with people." You said 'That a Dog?" Bo said, "He's a Newfoundland Dog."

Bo thinks your dog isn't one but a Horse

David would try to give Bo more kisses when he sits on the couch

He would guard his food when he's eating at the table as David tried to get at it

"There a reason you named him David? Was it from that Werewolf movie?" He asked as he patted David resting head on his leg. "Yeah, you seen it?" You asked, "I may see it on tv."

Lester and Vincent definitely love David.

Lester Sinclair

Automatically in love with your pooch

Your dog, Aaron, knocked him over when they jumped up

Lester's face was covered in slobber, which he cleaned up with his tank top as he got up

Jonesy was taken aback from how big your dog was. But they got along real quickly

Bo and Vincent thought you owned a bear from how big they where

He's giving a lot of treats to your doggo

Michael Myers

Oh Great

A Dog?

Michael met your puppy when he came home from his walk

A black and white pupper looking at his face

Michael wanted to get rid of it as he grabbed the scruff of their neck till he heard your voice screaked at him. "DON'T YOU DARE HURT BOWIE!! "

Michael definitely wanted not to be hit by something, so he put down Bowie.

Michael would have Bowie giving him kisses on his cheek when he's on the floor. He didn't like it, with a sour look on his face

He had to get used to your puppy

A few months and Bowie is much bigger than when they were a puppy. Michael noticed that he had to ask what breed Bowie is.

A Newfoundland Dog?? And they Get How Big?? Oh God

8 months later, Bowie is near his hips and needs a lot more food.

Michael would take them for a walk when you're at work

Bowie is now fully grown, and their face is right at his when he sits on the couch

Michael is now in love with Bowie

Jason Voorhees

Hello, did you bring home a bear cub?

It's a Newfoundland Dog? Never heard of those before

That's an Adorable face I can't resist

Jason's keeping a close eye on your puppy when they go outside

Jason decided to give them the name Teddy cause of the mistake he thought

Couple months later, Teddy is double in size from the day you brought them home

Poor Jason nearly had a heart attack when Teddy jumped onto the lake, but Teddy started to swim back to the shore

Fun fact: Newfoundlanders have webbed feet that's great for swimming and a thick coat to fight the chill of the water.

Jason will take Teddy on long hikes when you're at work

His face is going to he covered in slobber from Teddy

Michael Myers RZ

Oh God, there's a Bear in the house

Oh, it's a Dog

Definitely a Big Dog

Michael didn't know what to do, so he just patted their head

When he's just working on his masks, Danny is right beside him

When on the couch, he let's them lay on his lap

He would give a kiss if they kissed him first (But not with His Tongue lol)

Thomas Hewitt

Thomas met you with your big doggo when your car broke down near his mama's gas station

Thomas was shocked at the size of your dog. He thought it was a bear when he saw them.

Mickey was the name of your Canine pal

Holty got licked by Mickey whenever he sat down on the couch. Thomas couldn't help but snickered

Thomas would come up from the basement to see Mickey laying at the top of the stairs waiting for him.

Laying in bed, Mickey would wake him up with wet doggie kisses on his face

Luda would spoil them with little goodies

The Hewitt resident's is a Dogs dream place. A lot of running around and places to go have privatize

Peepaw Michael Myers

Michael was taken aback by this large Dog, he thought it was a bear at first

It just Woofed. it's a Dog

Normally, not a Dog person Michael felt differently with this Newfoundland Dog

Michael would be woken from his old man naps with a slobbery kiss from Arnold

Would definitely give them a scratching on their neck when he's reading a book

You catch Michael napping with Arnold on the couch

Michael may share his food with Arnold

Bubba Saywer

Bubba Squealed in delightment, seeing a puppy bolting towards him

You brought home a puppy to brighten up Bubba's mood

Nubbin being himself tried to play fetch with the new addition to the family

"A Newfoundland Dog? Do they find new land?" Chop Top asked

Drayton hopes the dog doesn't pee inside the house

Jed gotten bigger as the months go by

Bubba loves getting kisses from Jed, but not Drayton

A run outside with you and Jed

Happy man loves the Big Doggo

John Kramer

Long story short, you became a caregiver to him

You sometimes bring your 5-year-old Newfie dog with you to John's "place of work"

Definitely a highlight of his day when you're gentle gaint rest there head on his leg. Much easier for getting pats on their head

Kisses on his hands

One Apprentice hope they don't pee on the floor

Bonus Character:

Corey Cunningham

Doesn't want to let go of your puppy when he comes over

Automatically, his therapy Animal

Loves getting kisses from your puppy makes him feel much better

Definitely would stay with you overnight to be with your puppy longer

He would volunteer to dogsit when your go to work

His mother is going to wonder why he's covered in dog hair

[randoimago]

I got BG3 request in my head for sometime. Um how would Astarion, Halsin, Gale, and Shadowheart react to a s/o or a tav that has a dog that fights along side with them like a tibetan mastiff, or a Akita, or maybe some other breed that is known to be made as guard dogs and protective of their owners? Maybe the dog more or less tolerates the LIs but still keeps an sharp eye on them. (Especially Astarion XD)

Fandom: Baldur's Gate 3

Character(s): Astarion, Gale, Halsin, Shadowheart

Note(s): I have watched videos on the LIs reacting to Scratch and Astarion's reactions always kill me (and make me cry the most). I'm happy to write this for you!

WARNING: Mentions of Dog Being Injured in Combat

Astarion

Considering his interactions with Scratch, he'd also act very indifferent when it came to your dog. Sure, it's a great meatshield, but it's a stinky animal.

Astarion is constantly telling you to just leave your dog at camp, acting like it gets in the way and is a nuasance, but he just doesn't want to see it being hit by a spellcaster or shot with an arrow. If ANYTHING bad happens to this dog then he'll lose it.

Honestly offended that your dog is indifferent to him. As if he hadn't been collecting the bones of your enemies to gift to the furry mutt. Very rude.

Gale

He's more of a cat person, but he loves you so he doesn't mind your dog. Although, he can't help remarking that your dog knows he likes cats considering how your dog is very indifferent to the wizard.

Gale makes sure to give your dog some good treats and headpats when he goes to spend time with you. He knows how much you and your dog have been through and he's going to thank the doggo.

Okay, but while Gale is more of a cat person, he can very much appreciate how pretty your dog is. He insists on giving your dog baths to keep its coat shiny and not bloodstained as many battles tend to leave you all.

Halsin

Oh Halsin absolutely loves your dog. It's a very strong breed and the gooddest boy/girl (besides Scratch) and he would love to cast a Speak with Animals to speak to your protector.

Your dog being indifferent towards Halsin does cause him to chuckle a bit. He promises that he'd never think of stealing you away from your precious companion and instead thanks your pupper for keeping you safe for so long.

Halsin enjoys wrapping you in one arm while his other is brushing your dog. The last thing he (and you) want are your dog having mats in their fur due to all the constant travel and battling you all somehow end up in.

Shadowheart

Like Astarion, she is also very iffy about you bringing your dog into combat situations. She understands that your dog is very loyal and keeps you safe, but she worries about something going wrong.

You can't always prepare for when someone wants to stop talking and switch to stabbing and she'd hate for your dog to get in the way. She knows your dog is indifferent to her, but she really hopes your dog also knows that she will keep you safe while the little guy is safe at camp.

Besides that, she does try to pet your dog and give the little guy plenty of loving too. Your precious dog will get all the praise for the goblins it ripped apart for you.

a/n: this spontaneously wrote itself after reading bai’s (@hwaightme) catboy!hwa headcanons, dreaming about dogboy!yuyu, and then being triggered by the braincell i share with yumi (@sorryimananti-romantic) <3 also scroll through to the end for a surprise 🐹

taglist: @lavishloving

YUYU :’((((

the cutest fluffiest ball of energy to ever light up your world <33

your heart just goes :’) whenever you see him, no matter what he’s doing

PUPPY EYES

THE MOST. LETHAL. PUPPY. EYES. EVER.

at first he doesn’t know how dangerous his puppy eyes are

he’s scared of doing the wrong thing or disobeying your orders because he thinks you might not want him anymore or kick him out :(((

he’s so precious he deserves to be protected from every bad thing in the world :((

but then once he learns that you love him more than he can even fathom

and he can literally get away with anything??

especially if he just whips out his puppy eyes and cocks his head to one side??

PLEASE

yunho is 🥺 emoji personified

he stamps his little paws in excitement when you approach him

loves it when you caress the space between his eyes he gets all sleepy 

EAR SCRATCHES

he loves when you scratch behind his ear or under his chin or on his belly

aka scratches anywhere.

and he has the fluffiest and floppiest ears ever <333

they flop up and down whenever he runs it’s so cute omg

and he loves to chase his own tail

he MUST win the battle with himself grr

he doesn’t realise how big he is, both as a pupper AND a human

he runs at you from a distance and attacks you in a hug 🥺

but when he’s really excited and leaps up into your arms it feels like you’re getting slammed by a moving brick wall

you both definitely go down with an oof (mainly from you)

but who can be annoyed when you look up and he’s all :D :D :D and wagging tails on top of you

you two play a lot because he has so much energy

like you throw treats up in the air and he jumps to catch them and it’s like he’s challenging you at this point

you both have this thing where you put your hand on his paw, then he moves to place his paw on top of your hand, then you place your hand on top again and you just make an endless tower of hands

it never ends. it is A COMPETITION.

yall also have barking competitions where you’re just howling at each other lolll

because of that, your neighbour sometimes asks how your dogs (plural) are going and you have to make up a second dog because you’re not about to admit that it’s actually you howling back

yunho ALWAYS gets the zoomies at the most random times

in the morning when you’ve literally just pulled yourself out of bed and half asleep?

he does zoomies around the living room

nearly trips you over

at 3am when you’ve just finished your work and you’re stumbling your way to bed

he gets the zoomies in your bedroom and jumps all over your bed

SPEAKING OF BED

his favourite place is bed

but your bed specifically

you don’t need a heater in winter because he loves loves LOVES to snuggle with you and he’s super warm and fluffy

there’s lots and lots of cuddle sessions ofc, especially when you’re feeling down

he’s always there and he’ll like, give you space at first and then slowly inch towards you :((

sometimes you get nightmares that you’re suffocating and you wake up to yunho’s dog butt sitting on your face LOL

or you’ll wake up to his tail swishing in your face because he’s dreaming about steak

he likes playing in puddles and mud a little toooo much

when it rains you dress him up in a cute little yellow duckie raincoat

you’ve tried the matching puppy gumboots too but he just shakes them off

loves to go splish splash with his paws in all the puddles he comes across

and when he walks away he leaves a trail of his paw prints <3

omg when it comes to shower time after playing?

BRAT 

a cute brat though you could never ever get angry at him

he makes you chase him through the house and you’re shrieking about the little paw prints he’s leaving on the floor

(he helps you clean them up afterwards)

when you finally wrestle him into the bathtub he huffs until you fill it with bubbles and add his toys

you most definitely have to take your own shower after his because of how soapy your clothes get

yunho LOVES his toys so much

it takes so long to convince him to let you put them in the wash

because as soon as you take them away from him? the puppy eyes come out

and you have to be firm and tell him that the toys just need a bit of cleaning, they’ll come back to you smelling super nice, it’s just for a little while

he still sits in front of the washing machine watching the whole cycle because he doesn’t trust the machine

he protecc

whenever you’re working or busy doing something, he’ll come up and nudge you every other minute so you play with him

he’ll drop a toy at your feet so you throw it for him

or he’ll tug on your pants and whine a little for your attention

you’re definitely weak for him so you almost always end up giving in

do you walk him or does he walk you?

he gets excited and darts off whenever he sees other people or other dogs because he wants to go and say hello :’))

and even though he loves meeting the other dogs, if you find another cute dog and turn your attention towards it or compliment it he’s gonna be all 🥺🥺🥺

he’s built to protect you like whenever you go out he’ll valiantly be on the lookout for any dangers like lizards that get too close or plastic bags that are flying towards you

LOL sometimes you can’t bring yunho out with you, and when you get home after bumping into another dog on the way back, yunho will immediately be able to sniff out their smell on your clothes

and he’ll be like >:((

how dare you >:((

i demand head pats and ear scratches as compensation >:((

he melts as soon as you give him a kiss though

when he’s human, literally nothing changes

he has endless energy and he literally skips and bounds along as he walks with you

the man does not. stand. still.

he will JUMP down the last four or five stairs and give you a mini heart attack

you scold him like you’re going to get hurt !!!!! but he just grins at you before running ahead again

omg he gives the most crushing and loving hugs <333

your favourite ones are when you’re running towards him and he has his arms wide open and he catches you as you leap into his arms

and he holds your waist firmly as he spins you two around and you’re both just all wide smiles and hearty giggles (PLS IM SO SOFT RN)

yunho eats like there’s no tomorrow

you cook and plate up your food and turn around to get yourself a glass of water or something and when you turn back around half his plate is already gone and he’s like :D

and you’re like ???? where ?? did all the food go?? 

when you bake you’ve got to keep a close eye on him he’s like a CHILD

he’ll steal the chocolate chips off the counter and you have to take the packet from him and tell him that you need them for the cookies

but he gets a handful of them anyway as compromise

it’s the puppy eyes i’m telling you they stay with him even when he shifts

“no, yuyu, the cookies are still hot you need to wait”

:(

“stop looking at me like that they won’t cool any faster”

:( 

when it’s bedtime he dives under the covers with you

he drapes himself over you like he does when he’s a dog except he is much heavier when he isn’t a dog and you’re lowkey struggling to breathe under him

and he’s like oh no !! i forgot !!

and he’ll lie on his back and pull you so that you lie on top of him instead :’))

doesn’t matter if he’s dog or human, he LOVES CUDDLES

sometimes he decides that he wants head scratches too and he’ll bring your hand up to his head so that you play with his soft blonde locks

he also peppers your face with kisses like non-stop

he makes it his personal goal to make you giggle and laugh from all the kisses he’s giving you

because he is all about that physical affection and touch, perhaps even more when he’s a human

when you’re home he HAS to be touching you in one way or another like he’ll have a hand on your thigh or he’s draped over you in a back hug or you’re sitting in his lap

and it’s so cute when you see the same mannerisms and habits he has as a dog when he’s human

he’ll sit there and huff at all the right times when you tell him about your long day

(which was one of the first things you picked up on that yunho wasn’t your typical dog because when you ranted to him it was like he could understand you perfectly)

and like he still has his protective instincts, except when he’s a man he is The Man 

you tell him about some colleague at work who was nasty to you and he’ll be like WHO. LET ME GO BITE THEM

he definitely growls a little when he’s really protective like grrr >:(

lol but also when you two are playing games and he’s feeling competitive or he’s gaming on the computer he’ll unintentionally growl at you and sometimes you find it kinda hot ;)

with yunho there has never been a single dull moment

his laughter and cheeky antics just become a permanent part of your life <3

he only has eyes for you and they’re filled with love

he is THE GOODEST BOY PERIODT.

bonus: hamsterboy!joong

the D: hamster backed up into a corner meme

raises his little hands when he's scared

will freeze standing up for no apparent reason

literally faints or unalives at the slightest inconvenience

like if you sneeze too loud

or if he falls off the little platform in his cage

you’ll never catch him running in the hamster wheel - that is solely for napping in

he also likes to nap in the igloo homes you put there for him

if you lift one up while he’s under it he’ll run for his life towards another shelter LOL

shoves everything into his mouth when he eats

he complains when his food bowl is empty

but if you try to take the bowl to fill it up? he tries to bite you

no take >:( only fill >:(

tries to look aggressive but he’s the smollest lil bean to exist 🥺

what makes you think he’s any different as a human?

LOL

Ghost and König with a reader who has a big dog

Tags: Ghost x reader, König x reader, gn!reader, domestic, fluff

Warnings: None

König

• Puppy. Big puppy.

• Immediately drops into a baby talking your dog, petting him and asking all kinds of questions.

• Will buy a pack of dog treats and keep in on him at all times; you gotta remind him not to feed it too many treats.

• Your dog will love this man. König has the stamina to spend hours playing and walking the dog.

• Easily picks your dog up and cuddles him like it's nothing. Motivates himself during workouts that he's got to be strong to pick up that cute pupper of yours.

• Genuinely doesn't get how other people can be scared of dogs.

• Will invite the dog to sleep on your shared bed. Pouts when you say no.

• Good luck fighting for space with those two. They're big and will take up enough space to squeeze you to death; on the other hand though it's wonderfully warm in winter, but actual hell in summer.

• Beach trips anyone? König will take you and the dog up to the Nordsee, where he spent many vacations with his family as a kid. There's dog friendly beaches and good ice cream, what's not to love?

• König tries to call and text as much as he can when on deployment. He asks how you're holding up and in the bext breath demands a photo of you and your dog. He'll set is as his phone background.

Ghost

• More cynical than König.

• He's fought his fair share of trained dogs and knows how deadly they can be at the snap of a finger.

• He won't be mean to your dog or anything, but he'll keep a respectable distance until he grows fond of it.

• Dad and the pet he didn't want vibes.

• Very strict in terms of training, playtime or even simple commands.

• Despite that, the water bowl will always have clean, fresh water in it and food will be given right on time.

• The dog has its own resting place. Not on the bed though, never on the bed.

• Okay, maybe he's caved in and let the dog sleep on the bed with him once when you were gone-

• You can babytalk the dog as much as you like, Simon may raise a brow but will remain indifferent to it. But don't you start calling it the nicknames that are reserved for him and him only, you hear?

• Strong advocate of taking the dog with you on vacation. Goes out of his way to make arrangements so it can travel as comfortably as possible, but will grumble when you tease him about it.

• Soon he'll be called into action again. Simon leaves yet again in the name of duty, and it's tough to say goodbye - but he can rest easy now, knowing that you're well protected even when he's gone.

A deployment buddy ( Natasha trace x Female!Reader)

summary : it was the last thing Phoenix was expected to find arriving home but when she finds out how truly hard the deployments have been on the love of her life the furry surprise is a most welcome one

Warnings : none just is just cute and fluffy and it has dogs so like winner ... ok maybe not proofread but it has puppers so i think that makes up for it

Ok so maybe rushing into the house was a clear indication something was up but when Natasha trace walked into her  home , thinking her girlfriend some house warming gift or maybe slightly hoping some form of raunchy surprise. What she didn’t expect was the love of her life crouched looking up at  her with a worried expression while her hand was holding the collar of a german shepherd puppy she definitely didn’t remember being there three months when she went on deployment . 

“ erm baby ?” she smiled confused . 

“ yes beautiful and  very understanding love of my life “ y/n batted her lashes hand carding through the puppies fur to try settle the clearly excited pupper at new face . 

“ what the fuck .. don’t play dumb” she rolled her eyes trying to hide the amused smirk on her lips especially as she watched her huffing as she lifted the bundle of fur into her arms . 

“ ok so this is rocket … cause he looks like the racoon… ok so roo was going to get a dog and asked me to go with him so really this is his fault because i can’t say no to cute things that why bob get away with murder we both know this “ she rambled as nat couldn’t help agree bob was cartoonishly cute and did always get his way .  “ plus when your on deployment he can be my deployment buddy so i won’t be lonely ” she smiled sweetly .

“ for one i am kicking bradshaw’s ass  and two i know my deployments have been rough but next time  maybe tell me you going to get an animal “  she laughed coming over rubbing the puppies head of course the little man was the cutest little thing she ever saw and one lick to her hand and she was already goner. 

“ ok next time i will tell you i’m getting one “ y/n  sang out while putting the puppy down heading down to their share room  . 

“ wait i didn’t mean it like that … y/n come back i didn't… come back here” nat chased after only for rocco to yap and follow thinking it was a game his new moms where playing . 

A small welcome home drink in the hard deck nat was surprised to learn rocco was  somewhat popular with the patrons and the owner of the bar . even more surprised when penny already had some treats at the ready . looking up to see y/n , rocco and Mav talking away with bradshaws puppy lou  at the bar smiling at the scene because of course her girlfriend would find a way to get them in  .  

“ you know she wasn’t bad this time … OUCH baby on board what the hell “ jake yelped bringing the brunette attention to her friends . 

“ shut up bagman “ he hissed as nat brows furrowed  while they all refused to meet her eye. 

“ what you mean not that bad?” she asked no one in particular but all of them at once. “ spill it” she glared at her friends . 

“  we always say your lucky right ? “ Rooster sighed  as she nodded. “ because even though it’s kinda a dick thing ..not like that .. she get upset like down bad when your on deployment  and we kinda hope someone love us that much to be like that but it’s hard to watch sometimes when we try help we all know it because she misses you so much it like a part of her goes with you “ he explained as her heart clenched and yet grew bigger with the love she had for that woman she got to call hers.  Of course she knew it was gonna be hard and she was grateful it never was a deal breaker but it was still hard to hear how it affected the one she love more than anything . 

“ but rocco has been helping with that , she been telling him since she got him all about his other mom and he was going to love you as much as she did,   just saying if you do ever want kids that the woman you have them with “ rooster added with a smirk before heading up to the bar .

“ how come you didn’t kick trooster “ was all nat heard before she got up , needing to be with her little family even if one member walked on four legs and was covered in fur.  She barely gave y/n a moment before crashing her lips on hers . all the word she needed to say and couldn’t but that kiss would do for now. 

“ what was that for not that i’m complaining “ y/n let out a breathless chuckle leaning her head on nats shoulder while rocco was giving  his new mom kisses of his own . 

“ because i love you and i love our fur baby “ nat shrugged although rooster could see what the words couldn’t , he could see it was nat way of thanking her for not giving up on her like most women did . not that they blamed them deployment could test the strongest couples and it wasn’t always a success story like nat had. 

“ penny my dear could you take our picture? I need to update the one in my cockpit , locker and my phone “ nat chuckled, handing her phone  over while rooster being a diligent best friend to both women started shoving patrons out of the background before shouting “ all clear” .  both holding the ball of fur as Mav got his attention behind penny and  nat pulling her girl closer to her side , a few clicks and flashes  , penny finally smiled happy as she handed the phone back over. 

“ perfect” nat smiled softly her whole world in front of her and at her side in one moment looking down at the picture  except rocco wasn’t looking at the camera he was looking up at them a pup version that made it look like he was smiling. 

Restless  as the rooster confession hit her , looking down at the sleeping woman in her arms  completely in awe she had found someone she truly could call her soulmate, one she couldn’t wait to grow old with  and have that family  in the future. How natasha trace was never one to believe in that stuff until she met y/n , how she’d never been so happy in her life nor had she ever felt so loved . Only to hear whine and squeak of bark that made the woman in her arm stir. 

“ i got him back asleep “ she chuckled kissing her head before grabbing the robe and sneaker leading the pup down to the kitchen and heading out into the night air taking a seat on the back door step while he zoomed around the back yard.   Thinking of how even though it wasn't the way she wanted to get a pet but if this little bundle of fur made her girl life easier and less lonely when she wasn’t around than that was reason to love him even more than she possibly did . she couldn’t help laugh when he climb into her arms flopping on his little back  there she was holding their puppy like a baby and in a sense he was but she couldn’t help think over rooster words  “if you do ever want kids that the woman you have them with” .  she wanted that with y/n but their was one step she needed to take first . 

“Thank you for taking care of her when i wasn’t here  guess i’m luckiest woman in the world to have you both …  wanna help me make this family official little guy and finally use that ring in my bedside table “ she cooed down as he tapped back up earning a belly rub . “ thanks buddy lets hope she says yes but we gotta make it special thinking beach sort of thing til then its our little secret  ok my deployment buddy” she whispered standing up as the two head back to the woman that made their life the best it ever been .

Day 3 - A Treat

Pairings: Sinclair Bryant x Reader

Summary: In where a yearly tradition is almost missed because of a cold.

Tag(s)/Warning(s): none just good ole fluff!

A/N: And the Rickmas train keep on chugging yall!!! Are you going to get a fic every year with Clair having snacks and baking ? Yes you are bc it's pupper and he loves his snackies!!!. Now onwards!

"A-Ah-Achoo!"

"Are you okay darling? That's the third time you've sneezed in the past ten minutes. I think you might be coming down with a cold or something. It is the season for that, you know!"

"Have you been- A-Achoo! Counting?"

Sinclair looked at [Y/n], worry evident in his amber eyes as he watched her sit up from her comfortable position cuddled at his side, to grab another piece of tissue to blow her nose.

It was loud, a bit wet, and it sounded like she was absolutely miserable doing it. Maybe he should go and make her some tea to help with all the congestion.

"Well it's hard not to notice when you're ripping away from me each time to blow your nose," he responded, a tiny grimace on his features, as he watched her throw the wadded up piece of paper into the small rubbish bin, that she had dragged into the room.

A miserable whine left her lips, as she flopped back down onto the sofa and tried to burrow herself against Sinclair's side. It only caused him to let out an airy laugh with him being quite ticklish on his side.

"And now my boyfriend is laughing at me," she moaned out, her voice nasally and her sinuses full of congestion. She felt like absolute shit. "You should quarantine me Clair, I'm gonna get you sick."

Granted as she said that, she couldn't ever remember a time when Sinclair had been sick ever since she had known him. And he seemed more than happy to brag to her about his great genes. 

"Oh don't worry about that! My immune system is quite excellent, you know! When I was little, I used to never get sick even when everyone around me was laid up in bed," he spouted off while he absentmindedly stroked her back. It made her cuddle all the closer to him wanting to bask in his warmth and the comfort he was giving to her. "Not that I never get sick, it's just very rare and then I'm all better in a few days."

"Lucky," she huffed. Though if she was a betting person, she would bet he was the one getting people sick. But, that was an issue for another day, because there was something even more pressing, that her sickness was getting in the way of.

"Clair but what about our baking date we were going to have?"

"As much as it pains me to say it." And it did, as he was always looking forward to cooking with her. And the eating of course.

"Why don't we hold off until next weekend darling, you're in no shape to be doing anything other than resting."

"Hold off?" Sitting up much too fast in her condition, and causing her head to spin for a split second, she regained her composure, and added a pout to her lips for good measure. "Who are you and what have you done with my Sinclair!" She asked seriously, only before she was turning away from him, as another fit of sneezing decided to wrack her body at that moment. 

"Ugggh."

After she finished wiping her nose, she looked back at him, only to see him wearing a concerned expression. Brows furrowed, and a tiny frown on his thin lips, [Y/n] had to hold in the urge to 'aww' at him. He looked so worried, and the sweet puppy eyes that he gave her was also wearing down the fight in her. Not that she had a lot with how she was feeling. But still.

"But Claaaaaiiir, we always bake this week, we can't just not just because I have a, a-a-a!" She waited for a moment, ready to sneeze her head off again but when it didn't come, she sighed. "Okay you might be right but what about our snacks Clair? We have to start the holidays with something."

The defeated tone in her voice made his heart drop a little seeing how upset she was about not getting to bake today. Maybe it was silly that she was putting up a fuss about it as they could do it next week, but he was also a little bummed. But, she was in no shape to bake for them. 

Although…

"Oh! How about if I do it!" He exclaimed with enthusiasm as he sat up quickly, almost knocking into [Y/n] who giggled at his sudden burst of energy. His eyes were shining bright, and she knew there was no way he was going to take no for an answer when he got like that. 

"I'll whip us up the best cookies and all you need to do is come and watch. A show for you while I do all the work isn't that nice?"

It did sound nice, but in her shape, and with his penchant for eating the uncooked dough, she wasn't sure if it would come out the way he thought it would. He must have read her mind though, because he was immediately voicing that same concern.

"And as a treat, I won't eat any of the ingredients until it's all done. Promise!" He grinned brightly, so much so, that she thought with how much warmth he was emitting, he could cure her cold with just that smile.  

She wished.

Looking at how eager he was to do it, she didn't have the heart to tell him no. Especially with how he was practically vibrating, and she was sure she could see his tail wagging with how excited he was. 

"Oh alright! But I'm supervising!" 

He seemed to burst at the seams with that.

"Of course!"

So, it was now up to Sinclair to do the baking for them both. To continue the holiday tradition, he so loved to do with her even if she was out of commission.

And now, standing in the kitchen while [Y/n] was bundled on the other side in the dining room where she could see him but not be too close, Sinclair worked his magic.

Flour, eggs, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, chocolate chips, oh and butter can't forget the butter! 

"Oh Clair don't forget to stir the butter, achoo! Ughh shit," she groaned, tightly wrapping the blanket she had dragged in around her as she watched Sinclair jog over to the stove to make sure the butter wasn't burning.

She had to admit, it was fun watching him move back and forth. And to his credit, she didn't catch him eating any of the cookie dough. Granted she did have to go to the bathroom multiple times to stop the snot running out of her nose. 

It was disgusting. 

But, she was sure the cookies that he was making for them would make her feel loads better, as the smell of them sure did make her stomach rumble as the sweet aroma of them began to waft in the air while they baked. 

And she was right.

"And viola!" Sinclair cheered as he sat the plate of warm cookies down on the coffee table in front of [Y/n] who was still bundled up in her blankets.

He had also brought them some hot cocoa to wash the sweet treats down. And with all the sugar they were about to have, she was sure they were going to be up all night with a sugar rush. Good thing it was the weekend.

Chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies, and snickerdoodles, the classics and they all looked so good and tempting. 

"Sinclair," [Y/n] whispered in awe, her eyes practically sparkling at the spread as he sat next to her. He was already going for a cookie the moment he sat, eager to taste test his creations. 

Picking up a chocolate chip one for her and a snickerdoodle for him, he handed her the warm cookie, and she took it from him happily thanking him as the warmth of it spread from her fingertips to the rest of her body.

Taking a deep whiff of the sweet smelling treat, she took a bite out of it and the groan that left her was more than enough to cause Sinclair's ears to perk up. 

"These are amazing Clair! Oh my god what these are better than the ones I make! What? How? When did you become a pastry chef babes!"

A deep chuckle left Sinclair as he polished the cookie off, a blush evident on his cheeks at her praise.

"I learn from the best," he answered as he turned to look at her, his eyes instantly seeing the bit of chocolate that had melted on her lips. 

"Oh you have something here," he gestured leaning towards [Y/n] as if he was about to wipe her mouth, only to change direction quickly and gently pressing  his lips against hers.

"Mmph!" 

She smiled into the surprise kiss, yet she didn't make any effort to move. Why would she when his lips were just as sweet as the cookies as he had baked them?

"Mmm oh Clair stop it," she giggled a little breathlessly, trying to pull away from him but losing the battle as he wrapped his arms around her and brought her close. 

His pretty amber eyes shined, and a sweet smile was plastered on his lips as he looked at her like she was the most precious thing on the Earth. And her heart swelled as he brushed his nose against hers. 

"You're gonna get sick Clair," she whispered as his lips hovered near hers.

"As long as it's from kissing you I don't care," he murmured before pressing his lips back against hers so softly that she felt like she was going to melt, just like the chocolate chips on the cookies. 

God did she have the best boyfriend. Sweet, charming, gentle, interesting, generous, and apparently very good at baking. Who would have known she would be lucky enough to have a person with the best ingredients mixed together?

She sure didn't, but she wasn't going to gripe, not when he made her feel so loved, and wanted. Not when she loved him so much.

"Achoo!" 

Granted, she was unsure how much she loved taking care of him when he did in fact wake up with a case of the manflu the next week.

Well, no one's perfect. But he did come pretty close.

A/N: There has been an abundance of pupper fic for this prompt and it makes me 🤩🤩🥰!!! I love this sweet little ball of energy 😭😭and he deserves all the nice things!!!

Bar Talk

Wayne X non-binary!reader

— — — — — —

I don’t like bars. I don’t like the attention I get at bars. The skids can’t afford bar beer and the jocks like a party. So it’s the hicks, my people.

The bar gets busy around Christmas time. It’s probably the only time all year that I go to the bar.

I don’t like leaving my dog, Liv, at home alone too long since I already work long hours. But tonight I was invited out by the (what we call) “produce stand boys.” Wayne is always respectful. Darry on the other hand thinks it’s weird that I walk 40 minutes for three ears of corn.

“Why don’tcha ever drive Y/N?” Daryl asks.

“I favor the walk.”

Dan was the one to suggest I join them at the town bar.

“I suppose,” was my reply. I went home and decided I’d rather not go. Then I thought about Wayne and what he said as I walked away.

“You think they’ll show?”

— — —

I stand outside the bar, leaning slightly on my truck. I’m too nervous to go in so I sit on the end of my truck, looking at the lights that are strung up outside the bar. I start to freeze though so I either get in my truck or into the bar. I pick my car. As I’m opening my car door and climbing in, a voice calls, “Y/N?”

My head drops and I step back down and try not to look rude. “Thought I saw your truck…” Wayne says, trying to be friendly. I wrap my coat around me and look up, tired looking. I notice how pleasant the contrast is between you and the Christmas lights behind you.

“How are you now Wayne?”

“Not so bad. And you?”

“Well, thanks.”

“Coming in?”

“…”

“I’ll buy.”

“Okay.”

I’m not awkward with Wayne, I’m just not comfortable yet. We’ve never been alone so that was our first private conversation. Darry has this shit eating grin when he sees me walk in with Wayne. “The fuck is his problem?” I ask Wayne. He shrugs, “he’s been trying to set me up with people all night. Maybe he’ll stop now.” I chuckle and nod.

“Y/N, I thought you’d never show!” Dan exclaims, beaming with joy at my presence. “I couldn’t miss it, not when Wayne is gonna treat me” I smile softly.

Wayne is at the bar ordering a drink and some girl is all over him. He looks uncomfortable but tries to “be a man” about it. She just wouldn’t stop touching him. Why won’t she stop touching him? Go get him. Go get him! He’s not your problem, don’t move.

“Wayne!” I shout without thinking. The girl and him turn. The girl looks me up and down and cringes. I scoff and make my way over. “Let’s go.”

“But I haven’t gotten your drink—”

“Let’s go.” I “drag” him out of the bar. Really it was me tugging his sleeve to follow. He complies. We get outside and to the back of my truck.

“How are you now?” He asks.

“I don’t want to be here.”

“Where’d you want to be?”

“I don’t know. It’s late…” I mutter, wrapping my coat around me. I settle, “We can just stay here. Darry and Dan are here.” He shakes his head and says, “they know I’m out here. They wouldn’t be surprised if I didn’t come back in.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” I chuckle.

— — — — —

Wayne and I decided to have one drink in the bar and head our separate ways.

We don’t sit at the bar top with Darry and Dan though. We sit at a table. Suddenly it feels like we are on a date. This makes me nervous. I mean it can’t be a date, Wayne never asked me out.

We bond over puppers. I sit and talk to Wayne comfortably in a way that I don’t talk to other people. I forget about my day and how hard I worked today. I remember I have corn on my counter that I meant to husk.

“Why weren’t you sure if I’d show?” I finally ask.

He appears surprised that I heard and remembered his comment from this morning. He scratches the back of his head and says honestly, “wasn’t sure you liked us much”

“Do you mean ‘us’ as in the group of boys or do you mean you weren’t sure if I liked you.”

“The second one.”

I look down at my drink. I look like I have a million things to say. “Well I don’t hate you.”

“That’s good”

We both seem to have a stubborn sense of self. We don’t like to be too open out of fear of getting hurt. I say with a sense of guilt, “well, I have corn that needs huskin’ at home.” Wayne nods, “May I please walk you to your car?” I smile down at my beer, admiring how you ask. He didn’t say ‘let me walk you to your car.’

“You may.”

We walk out to my truck and turn to face each other. Suddenly I don’t want to leave him. I have this urge to ask him to come with me. I know you were in Dan’s truck so it wouldn’t be inconvenient. I shake the thought away.

“Goodnight Wayne.”

“Goodnight Y/N. Thank you for showing up.”

I look down.

“aren’t you going?”

“Do you want to help me husk my corn?”

Wayne’s eyes widen. I realize he’s misunderstood.

“Literally. I mean that literally.”

“Yes, I’d like to help you husk corn.”

— — — —

We are standing over the trash can in my kitchen, husking corn. We haven’t talked much, both of us don’t seem to mind the quiet.

I tell him, “You probably shouldn’t walk home. It’s far.”

“You walk there three times a week, is it really far?”

“I mean, it’s about a mile and a half, two miles on a bad day. You’ve had a bit to drink, I want to make sure you’re safe.”

Wayne finishes the last husk and looks down at me. “I’ll be alright.”

How do I ask him to stay?

“Stay?” I say softly.

“I shouldn’t.”

“Please”

“Okay.”

I fiddle awkwardly with my hands. I sit on the couch with you. He looks nervous. We don’t sit very close but I’m so hot. What the hell? I take deep breaths and put my hands down to my sides. I didn’t think about this. What am I doing? What are we doing? I chew my lip and try to think of something to say. I didn’t need to though. Our pinkies touch and so I look up at you. We glance as each other and then both look at the Christmas lights that are hanging inside my house.

“Why inside?”

“If they were outside I wouldn’t be able to enjoy them as much.”

Our fingers intertwine slowly, we don’t speak of it.

“You are worth the two mile walk; Even in the snow.”

For my dad's birthday, we binge-watched the Fallout series. We were going to just watch the first ep and see if we wanted to see the entire thing annnnnd apparently we did, lol!

I have a lot of feelings but to sum it up, I think they did a fantastic job making everything understandable to somebody who wasn't familiar with the game. Also, I think they tackled a lot of serious real world issues in fictional ways that were very thought-provoking.

Also, I do own Fallout 4 from a Steam sale a while back, so this has made me want to bump it up in the line to play. I believe you can have the pupper as a companion? 😎👍

If you watched, what did you think? Who were your favs? If you know me, then you know I've just shown you 3 of them here in these 2 GIFs, lol.

I thought Lucy got a fantastic arc, I loved that she started off naive but not done stupidly so. Her circumstances simply meant there was a lot that she didn't know but she was quick to adapt while still trying to keep her core values, her core self, intact.

The Ghoul is a cruel character that was unveiled beautifully, IMO, so that by the end you can see how he got that way, how he lost almost all of his humanity and not just in the obvious ways, but how you also could see the tiny shreds that still remained. If you didn't already think that Walton Goggins is an amazing actor and if this doesn't convince you, then nothing will.

CX404, sweet pupper! And shout-out to unexpected!Michael Emerson who I didn't realize was going to be in this show and so was a really great treat to see (for the most part, if you've seen the show, then you know 😉).

Anyway, I really enjoyed it and am so glad to hear they're getting a second season! 💖💖💖

❤️Please read! Please share! This is my BFF Bestie! who is asking for help!❤️

I know I don't use tumblr very much these days, and when I do, it's when I need something. This time, it's my best friend, and I REALLY need this to spread! My best friend is nearing an eviction notice (due to circumstances beyond their control) unless they can come up with $4,800USD to catch up and cover rent.❤️ I'm doing what I can, therefore...𝙈𝙮 𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙥 𝙞𝙨 25% 𝙤𝙛𝙛! 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙙𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙧 𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙙𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙡𝙮 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙘𝙝𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙂𝙁𝙈! Go get yourself some stitching!

(or donate at my Ko-Fi account at ko-fi.com/sturdynerdystitchery because there, you can get free patterns!)❤️

I have 3,200 followers. That's a wide audience. Those followers have dozens, if not thousands of followers. That's an even wider audience. People who have been in those shoes, can empathize, and can donate. Even if you can't donate, sharing is free and even THAT helps reach more people.

I've seen the community come together. I've seen other communities come together. Can we surpass that $4,800 goal? I sure hope so! 💰I've already done the first $100 donation...anyone want to match that?💰 We've all been, or know someone who has been, in those struggle shoes.

⭐TLDR: Husband's job started slashing everyone's pay by HALF, when they were already barely getting by. Sara found work, but it only pays minimum wage ($14.42) while she is doing her 6 weeks of training. Of which, she has one more month left. They are struggling so much, and now. Eviction notice. They have 2 kids, 2 dogs, and a kitty who just birthed kittens 2 weeks ago!

Please keep reading to hear the full story. Please!!! I don't want to lose my best friend! 😭😭😭 (plus, you'll get treated to kitten pictures)

This isn't a case of "Well, maybe they should have...." because those sentiments are NOT what is needed right now! Those sentiments DO NOT help! It's not a matter of giving up Starbucks. It's about a shitty employer who cares nothing for it's employees.

Donating, no matter how big or how small, makes a difference. Even if you can't donate, sharing is free, it helps reach a wider audience, and that in and of itself makes a difference.

I know that often, when a GoFundMe comes into a feed, it's less likely to get shared if you don't know the person. Well, I know this person. Sara, her husband David, and their 2 kids moved to Colorado a year ago. Along with their Golden Retriever, Mia, their Brindle pupper, Kelce, their kitty who just had 3 kittens. Aren't they cute!

We became friends over the summer. Since then, she has wormed her way into my heart and for the first time since WE moved to Colorado in 2019, I can gratefully say that I found a best friend BFF bestie who would be my ride or die, and vice versa.

She was living with her father in order to save up for their own place. She had to move out because it was a horribly abusive situation and she had to get her family away for their safety.

They found a house to rent, and have been there several months.

A few weeks after they moved in, they get notice that her husband's job is slashing everyone's pay in half. DoorDashing to make up the difference wasn't doing it. Countless job applications, and her husband is still struggling to find work.

She found work, however. They only pay minimum wage while she is doing her 6 weeks of training (Bullshit, I know). She still has 1 month to go.

They have a 2 year old and a 12 year old. The pets. Their everything.

That everything could be gone because we live in a society that treats people so unfairly. They might have to move back to Missouri.

She is waiting on the mail today. Waiting for that eviction notice, and it breaks my heart into a million pieces. I cried this morning. She is a good friend, a good mom, a good provider. Her husband is hard working, a stand up man. Work gave him the shit end of the stick.

She is panicking. She says she has never been more afraid in her life. She doesn't have to say it, but I know she feels broken, and defeated.

I refuse to lose my best friend to circumstances that she had no control over. Her husband is still looking for a new job. Even if she looked for a new job while currently working, and happened to find one...it still won't help cover what they need.

My heart is breaking.💔 So much. I know that some might think it selfish of me to use my social media for personal reasons, but this reason is important to me. This reason is my best friend.

So, pleeeeaaaaseee! even if it's only a dollar. Or even better, if someone is rolling in dough and can drop the entire $4,800!

steven would be wary at first because he worries the dog might make an even bigger mess of his stuff on the floor.

he'd be forced to clean up, might grumble a little in the beginning but will eventually enjoy the clean up process.

he finds it therapeutic in a way.

steven will 100% spoil the pupper. treats? yes. toys? he's bought it. clothes? he'll learn how to sew just so he can dress the dog up.

spoiler alert: he sometimes makes dog clothes similar to his printed button downs and goes out on walks with the matching clothes.

steven gives the dog the name, something like jackie or didi depending on the gender.

steven buys them a bed but will always let the dog sleep on his bed every single night.

steven will totally exhaust himself playing with their new pet. sometimes you'll come home and find him passed out on the floor with the dog snoozing on top of him or snuggled to his side.

steven will fill up his phone memory just to take pictures of the dog. silly, candid ones or where he lets their furry companion model his handmade clothes.

steven doesn't like bathing them though, he'll whine when he gets himself wet plus his flat doesn't have a tub to keep the water from (mostly) getting on him.

ᴍᴀʀᴄ ꜱᴘᴇᴄᴛᴏʀ

marc loves the dog. internally. you'll rarely catch him showing the pupper affection though he'll grow into the dog soon enough.

marc is the only one who trains the dog like sit, heel, shake and all that stuff.

marc who finds comfort in the dog whenever you're not around. if you're out working or are unable to come home, he'll turn to the dog and give them love. he'll make it up to you when you're back.

marc who grumbles and frowns whenever his headmates tease him about hiding his affections.

marc who buys proper pet supplies like a leash, bowls and a pet drinking fountain.

marc takes the dog out for early morning runs.

marc who hates cleaning up after dog fur when they start shedding, mutters under his breath as he vacuums the couch, the carpet and even the bed because steven trained the dog to sleep on their bed instead of the dog bed.

marc who, funny enough, is the only one who doesn't complain when bathing the dog. probably out of military experience?

marc who only ever uses the colored towels to dry the dog and never the white ones.

marc who scolds steven for overfeeding the pup to which the latter would defend himself saying he's been trying to control himself from giving them too many treats.

ᴊᴀᴋᴇ ʟᴏᴄᴋʟᴇʏ

jake who absolutely adores the dog.

jake brings them with him whenever he works.

jake who bought a pet seat in his cab and some portable cleaning supplies in case the dog shits while they're on the road.

jake is the little shit who secretly gives the pupper extra treats without the other two knowing, not even you.

jake who dotes on the puppy, sings to them and plays fetch in parks when it's a slow day working as a cabbie.

jake, although loves the furball to bits, doesn't like it when they sleep next to him though. he overheats with the additional warmth and sticking a leg out doesn't help anymore.

jake who loves, loves, loves bringing the dog with him to pubs or any establishments (pet friendly ones). if he was single he definitely picks up ladies this way.

marc snitched on him about that thought and it resulted in you ignoring him which led to you not coming home for two days until he apologized and said he meant nothing when he thought that.

jake who teaches the dog more silly tricks like play dead, stand and talk.

jake who holds the doggo like a baby which you take notice of and comment on how he'll look good holding an actual baby like that too.

AItube youtube essay rec list

"cute robot puppers, friendly ai vtubers, and the incredible human ability to form bonds" - rly interesting video about why we can connect so much with a person that we know "isnt real" and how it'll help us when we get far enough going to space that we meet aliens! it's a really optimistic video it made me take a moment to have such love for humanity

"I joined the speakcord for a month. Here's what I learned." - video about the speaker fandom and how the way automoderation works in its community spaces unintentionally leads to escalating conflicts, and the psychology behind why people in celebrity or idol fandoms react agressively to critique of their fave

"the lowest circle of advertising hell" - dissects how almost all speaker content comes with a call to action to get involved with aerolith and compares how it runs its social media against proto-aituber mascots who would be run by a team of human programmers/voice actors/authors. kind of overly critical but also makes some interesting points? take it with a grain of salt but its worth a watch

"imagine being on stage forever. feels bad right?" - good overview about debates in the speaker fandom over whether digital celebrities are 'sentient'/can feel emotion, the actual ethical problems of using them as workers vs whats mostly speculation and myth, and the debates about whether AIs should be allowed in human communities. i learnt a lot, i was definitely more on the side of "it's a program designed for certain outputs that look friendly to us" before but now im a lot more conscious that it can form real opinions!

This is Remu, our sweet pup who was put to sleep today, 8th of April 2024... The procedure went smoothly, he almost got to the age of full 11 years. This summer it would have been his 11th birthday.

In memory of him, let me tell you about how our little rascal was like. This is going to be a long post so buckle up. I'll put more pics in at the end.

He was a rescue dog, he came to me and my mom through my oldest big brother around year 2018. He was around 5 years old back then and he was born during summer, what I heard from my brother is that the pup was super skinny when he first got Remu.

Remu was an absolute lap dog, he loved being on our laps and in our holds. Loved sleeping next to us. ((He was like little heater! Very warm hahahh)) Sometimes when we would do stuff around the house he had to be with us on the thing!

For example if I was sitting on the floor and moving plants to new pots or I was cleaning my pet bugs little habitats, it was guaranteed he would be on my lap. And he would always be listening what we're doing.

Oh he was one stubborn and clever fella, there is a reason why I call him a rascal! Of course in the most loving way possible. He was like a big dog in small dog's body. His barks were LOUD.

He wasn't that trusting at first and god forbid if you touched his paws and tried to bath him, or even reached out to him in certain way! Face was off limits. So it was heartwarming how over time he came to trust me. So much so I could do almost anything with him, it got to the point where he let me even rub my finger between his eyes and wipe his cute little snoot if there was something.

Oh any visitor would still get bunch of barks and growls! Never biting tho, but he would let you know that hey, this is his turf! His home! Would even start barking even if he heard my younger old brother through phone. (He still got onto brother's lap and all, pfft) It was kind of silly to see how little mohawk would rise on his back.

Like a true summer dog, he loved basking under the warm & hot sun. I think his belly even got tanned because of this. (Oh Remu, you silly.)

And goodness did he love to run when able to during our walks.

Gosh, let me tell you, whenever he would greet another dog his ears got so high up it looked like he had bunny ears! Adorable.

And his adorable little hop running when inside... It's a shame I never got it on video, but it was silly fun and cute thing he did.

Oh he would do this thing though where he would whine and paw at bed/floor as if he wouldn't be able to get off our beds! (mattresses on the floor btw.) He was fully capable of getting off and all, he just decided to turn dramatic if we were observing him.

Another dramatic thing he did was flip over a bowl when asking for food. Even start rolling up the blanket on his own bed and oh, so vocal. He was a vocal pup.

He never seemed that interested in toys, only playing with them when we prompted him and played with him with them. Eventually his favorite type of play would turn out to be chasing hand under the blanket and and also digging at our blankets while I scratch his head.

Hahh, he sometimes would playfully try to get at our feet, mostly during feeding time. Such a silly pupper.

All in all, he was a lovable silly rascal and one heck of a cuddly dog.

I'll forever miss him, and I am happy he was in our lives, even if I was hesitant to take him in at first. I am so thankful I was able to be there with him and for him on his last moments, when I wasn't able to for our previous pet so many years ago.

Now... May you run a lot, buddy. Run lots and lots… To your heart's content. Get all the treats you so love, till your belly is full.

I love you, Remu.

Gotta a lot of asks of ros reacting to mc flirting and interacting with other ros.

I was wondering how our local police chief would handle an mc that has only ever had eyes/a soft spot for them? Like not outright flirting because of the workplace but like maybe the sheer vibe that mc has for them cannot be mistaken for anything other than unobtrusive pinning?

Bonus points if you get to sneak the best pupper ever treats (I know this man probably working too, so they’d probably end up hiding in a drawer or a desk organizer for Blair to give to the lad)

(Also hope you have a good day!)

At first, they would assume you’re just very kind, but, eventually, it would dawn on them that you don’t treat anyone else the same way. 

They would be a bit perplexed by your attention and slightly uncomfortable. They enjoy your company but know how damaging a close relationship could be for your careers. As the youngest Police Chief in Runswick history, Blair is very mindful of their reputation and interactions with others. Moreover, being “an outsider” who did not grow up in the small, rural town, they know they’re under extra scrutiny. And a relationship with one another, whether exclusive or not, could ruin your credibility. Even suspicion you’re in a relationship could destroy your careers.

But if you give Seger treats? You’ll own Blair’s entire heart – consequences be damned. 

I hope you have a great day too! 💙

Hi Kay! Again, congrats on reaching 200 followers! How about a request #5?

So, this is kinda based on something that happened to me last week, feel free to adapt it. Some details: reader went out for a walk with her dog and she always stops by Family Video to talk with Steve and Robin. That morning, even though Steve knew she was coming, she didn't show up. Steve is about to call her when the phone rings and it’s this lady saying reader is there and is not ok because she ran away from a stray dog that almost attacked her. So Steve goes there to rescue her and he’s like “Ok, you’re not walking alone ever again, tomorrow I’m picking you up because no one's gonna hurt you or your dog” and she is still very scared. You can decide if Steve brings her to stay with him while he works or if he takes her home… Idk if this is a good request, I’m kinda bad at this, and after what happened to me (I got someone to call my parents, no Stevie for me hahaha), I just wanted some comfort you know

my dear, effie...i'm so sorry that this happened to you and noah, but i hope this could be a little pick me up!!! thank you again for the overwhelming support, it means the world to me 🌎💘💫

Steve tapped the counter impatiently, watching the hands of the clock on his wrist go by minute by minute, waiting for the bell to chime as you wandered through the doors with your dog leading the way. He always looked forward to your mid-morning visits, keeping dog treats under the counter to give to your pup while you and him talked about what was to come of the day before being joined by Robin who couldn’t help but to give the pupper a bunch of pets and kisses. 

But it was already 9:47 a.m. and you and your shih-tzu Noah had yet to arrive at Family Video. You two were never a minute late or even a minute early. He knew that you had the same walk every day and took the same route, which regularly led you to be here by 9:45. 

Something was wrong and he could feel it in his bones. 

“Jesus, why are you staring at the door like that?” Robin sought, knitting her brows as she passed by him with a stack of tapes in her arms. 

Steve sighed, wrenching his eyes away from the door and watching his friend begin restocking the shelves. “She’s not here, yet. She’s always here on time.” 

Robin just laughed lightly, glancing over at him swiftly, then getting back to work, “I’m sure she’s just running behind…maybe she woke up late or something?” 

He shook his head, walking away from the counter and standing beside Robin, trying to formulate the best possible explanation for your absence. 

“No, she rarely wakes up late. Remember, she told us she got that new alarm clock that’s super duper loud and it always wakes her up on time.” 

“I vaguely remember that conversation,” She responded, shaking her head to herself before turning her head to him with an apparent look of bewilderment, “Wait, she told us that like a month ago…how can you remember that but not by sandwich order from last week?”

Steve squinted, crossing his arms across his chest.

“W-what does that have anything to do with—never mind, I’m just going to call her to make sure.” 

She snorted, pushing his shoulder as he walked away, heading for the telephone. “Her number is on file, by the way.” 

“I don’t need her file, I already have it memorized—“ 

The phone rung just as Steve was about to pick it up and dial the combination of numbers he somehow was able to remember. He and Robin promptly shared a look. Rarely did they ever get calls this early in the day, but Steve just shrugged, picking it up so he could make his very improtant phone call to you. 

“Family Video. How can I help you?” He answered with his customer service voice, making his friend crack a scoff and to that Steve flipped her the bird, awaiting the response from the other side.

He could hear faint voices in the background but thought nothing of it at first, “Is this Steve?” 

“Y-yeah? Who’s this?” 

There was a relived sigh before they spoke again, “Okay, sweetheart, I’ve got him on the phone. Just hold on…” The voice on the other line said to what he was guessing another person before Steve asked again. 

“Who is this?” 

“Listen, your lady friend and her dog were chased by a stray…she came running and screaming into the apartment complex about a few minutes from your store.” 

His heart raced, finally comprehending the cries in the background to be yours. All the horrible thoughts of what could have gone wrong, racing in his mind a million miles over the speed limit.

“Is she ok? Is Noah ok?” He ordered, ushering Robin with a quick slap on the counter that got her rounding the corner pressing her ear on the other side of the phone so she could hear. 

“They’re both a bit shaken up. I was about to leave when she came running with the dog in her hands. Calling from a payphone right now, she asked me to call you.” 

Robin smirked, pinching Steve’s side as he flinched away, mouthing for her to “fuck off.” Everyone knew that you and Steve were close…very close, yet neither of you had made a move. But it was clear that you were each others’ person.

“I’ll be there in five minutes.” 

“Sounds good.” 

Steve slammed the phone back onto the base, reaching into his pockets to grab his keys as he was already halfway to the door by the time he spoke, “I’ll be back in 10!” 

“Give them a hug for me, lover-boy!” Robin hollered back uselessly, as Steve had already made it to his car, getting in and hightailing it out of the parking lot and down the road. 

What should’ve been a five-minute drive to the apartment complex it was only two minutes for him. Speeding through the streets and running yellow lights, something be wouldn’t usually do since his title was now a responsible teenage babysitter.

Yet he did it for you.

When he saw you and Noah cradled in your arms, he quickly put the car in park, hopping out. 

“Steve…” Your voice cracked with tears streaming down your cheeks, meeting him halfway and digging your face in his chest. 

He placed one of his hands on your back pulling you closer, “Hey…it’s ok,” the other hand reaching down to stroke behind your puppy’s ear, calming him down. 

“S’ok, bud…kept mom safe huh?” Steve spoke gently as Noah’s shaking faltered and the dog lapped at Steve’s wrist, making him smile. 

“I scared the stray away. Will they be alright?” 

Steve didn’t even notice the stranger standing off to the side, who gave him a small smile after seeing how quickly you and the pup warmed up. He gave the kind individual a curt nod and thanks, watching as they walked over to their car and drove off. 

Feeling your nerves settle down, you drew away slightly from Steve’s chest, peering up at him through your wet lashes, “I’m sorry for making you come here—“ 

Steve shook his head rapidly, “No, you didn’t make me do anything…matter a fact, I’m glad you called me. I was worried sick when you didn’t come in on time.” 

You sniffled, swallowing thickly as you recounted what had happened only moments ago. 

“I was terrified. One second, me and Noah are on our jolly way.” You ceased, tears brimming your eyes again and so you lifted Noah closer to your face to press a kiss to his head before continuing. 

“Then this stray just comes out of nowhere and starts chasing us…I’ve never run so fast in my life, Steve. The whole time I was just screaming, crying, trying to get someone to help.” 

By now you had buried your face into Noah’s fur, perhaps puzzling your little fluff ball, but he was smart, letting you crying into him as Steve had let you. People always said that pets were the closest thing to a child, and it was most definitely true, at least for you. Noah was your little baby, and you’d rather that stray hurt you than any hair on his body. But yet, the situation had made you feel so hopeless even after the stranger had helped you. 

“I know, I know, but you’re safe now.” Steve murmured, kissing the top of your head and pulling you back into his arms.

The three of you stood there for a while in the middle of this empty apartment complex. Soft and encouraging words spoken to you and Noah…but mainly for you, as your little doggie was, for the most part, cool, enjoying the presence of his mom and his favorite friend of hers, Steve. 

“From now on, you’re not walking alone.” Steve informed you, rocking his head as he looked around. Reminding himself that the loose dog could still be out here somewhere waiting for you two again. 

He couldn’t let anything happen to you guys. 

“S-steve, really, it’s going to be fine—“ 

He folded his lips into a tight line, shaking his head once again, and taking Noah from your arms to cradle him in his chest. The small action making your frown turn upside down in an instant seeing how your dog quickly accustomed in his grasp and appeared so at peace, like he did with you. 

“Robin can handle the store by herself for a few minutes…your place isn’t too far, anyway, so I can just pick you two up and we can walk around the area together.” 

You took a deep breath, biting your lip as you reached out to pet Noah’s head, watching his eyes slowly begin to close with every second that ticked by. 

“Are you sure?” You proposed, as Steve jokingly rolled his eyes and tilted his head. 

“Positive…now do you still want to swing by the store?” He paused, but just for a second, before you could even nod your head yes, that there was nowhere else you wanted to be right now besides with him. 

Steve spoke, a blush covering his cheeks out of nowhere, letting the words rip from his mouth before he could even stop.

“I’ve got Noah’s favorite treats and I’m sure we’ve got something we could use as a bowl for water. Annnnnd I take my lunch break in thirty minutes, so I was thinking we could all get something to eat. A little lunch date, if you will?” 

Obviously there was a reason why Noah liked Steve so much, and it wasn’t just because of the daily treats, but because his owner, you, liked Steve too. 

“Sounds like a plan.” You grinned, stepping close to plant a kiss on Steve’s cheek as the blush turned even brighter.

Steve somehow had this ability to make everything better. There was an ease to him that you adored, especially in times like these where the tears stopped pouring and his safety net caught you and your pup.

It felt natural as he slung his arm across your shoulder, leading you and Noah to his car like his favorite part of his day. That was the first and definitely not the last lunch date the three of you want on.

Turns out that you and Steve make the perfect parents for little ole’ Noah.

What if Sephiroth tried to escape Shinra?

Shinra finds out about Sephiroth escaping, and he is just running away while Planes, Jets and Helicopters chase after him as well when he tries to run away

Oooooooooooh, JUICY scenario :00000 Yes yes yes yes yes!!!

I think a lot of this would depend on what point in his life Seph tried to escape. If he is just a baby bean, still being trained and exploited and pushed to his limit in the lab, he would prolly be able to get away. Not only would he be smaller and more evasive, but his name/face wouldn’t be imprinted in the planet’s crust yet. He can blend into crowds without drawing attention—and since this is Seph we’re talking about, he prolly had the foresight to take some sort of cloak with him, no matter how young of a brain. The only problems stem from not being able to take care of himself, after being cloistered in the lab and treated like an animal. He doesn’t know real food. He hardly knows how to communicate. He will prolly find himself taking shelter behind a crate, perhaps having made it to Junon. And there, someone would find him, seeing him in his bone-thin state, and take him in <333 Upon asked about his parents, Sephiroth can’t answer, knowing he would be returned to the bad men chasing him. He simply says he has none. It’s a tough, rocky decision, but the savior decided to let him stay, sheltering him and feeding him and restoring his strength. But Sephiroth can’t stay forever. He knows he can’t—knowing the bad men ware behind him and would eventually track him down, and take his caretaker away. Take them away just like how they took Gast away. So Sephiroth eventually leaves, and in this manner he makes his way across the continent, from house to house, traveling all the way across the continent… until he finds himself in a backwater town nestled in the corner of Gaia. There’s something there, he just feels it. Like a gravitational pull in his mind. Like his veins were reins and they were guiding him. Something feels… complete. Full-circle, almost. But he doesn’t stop to ponder over it too much. He just makes his way through, when the village is sound asleep in the heart of night. He makes his way through the mountains, navigating through the labyrinthine paths and all the way to a big, metal building sitting at the summit. He goes inside, making his way up the stairs, stopping before a towering door.

Though he can’t get them open, so he just goes back down.

It’s not the most ideal life, wandering from one corner of the continent to the next. But he gets the see the world. He sees the stars at night, real stars, like the ones in the books Gast used to read to him. So maybe it isn’t so bad, living life on the lamb. Maybe he’ll find Gast somewhere along the way.

~~~

Now! What if Sephiroth was to leave while in SOLDIER???

“Depending on what happens, I may abandon ShinRa.”

So he does. He deserts, before he ever goes to Nibelheim. But this time, unlike his younger self, he ain’t alone—not at all. He’s got the pupper with him. And together they travel across the continent, heading for a place to call home. They both have cloaks draped over them, hidden from the limelight, and Zack has packed plenty of food for them to share—as well as lots of Gil to stock up. The journey is rough, vigorous… but one thing it’s not is lonely. They fight off monsters and troops at every turn, and they do it together, protecting each other with their lives. There is nothing more valuable, precious, and meaningful to them than the other’s safety. They’re everything they have… <3 There are nights when the temperature is hostile, the weather bitter cold, Sephiroth sees Zack shaking on the grass or rocks or against a tree. And what he does is almost instinct: he scoots closer to the boy, wrapping his arms around his treasured friend and bringing him close, cocooning them both in warmth. Sometimes, though, there’s times when Sephiroth thinks they made a mistake, thinking they had all that they could at ShinRa… and the thoughts only get more muddled when he realizes ShinRa is the core of so much pain. So much betrayal. Sometimes he doesn’t know what to do, and he squeezes Zack tighter than usual.

“Seph,” Zack starts one night, when they’re on the outskirts of Corel, feeling his friend’s body tense against his.

Sephiroth weakly hums in acknowledgment.

“…It’s gonna be okay.” He balances out the squeeze. “We’ll find somewhere to stay. I promise. Somewhere where you’ll be safe and sound.” A thread of mirth weaves into voice. “Heck, maybe we can be mercenaries. Keeping the world safe in our own way.”

Sephiroth can’t help but smile. “…Maybe.”

“And no matter what,” Zack continues, burrowing even deeper into his best friend’s cloak, close to his heartbeat. “It’ll be together. Always.”

🔥 shipping // @umbralined

Shipping is hard for OCs. God knows I understand that intimately. Anyone who acts like OCs have it so easy is lying to themselves, hard, because it is a constant uphill battle, especially for fandom OCs. Everyone wants to assume your muse exists just to ship or any positive interaction with a male character is an active attempt to ship. As a DFAB bitch who only realized I was NB relatively recently in life, I have even experienced having my intentions questioned because of my actual factual sex as a mun. Misogyny in the comm is completely batshit insane and depending on the fandom sometimes entirely unchecked and normalized.

However.

I want to say this as gently as I can. Sometimes, people aren't avoiding you because you play a female character, or an OC, or because you want to ship. It's because your OC is clearly designed for shipping and rather than seeking active partners to build something dynamic, you want to write a fic, and treat your partners like content generators or your fic subscribers instead of active collaborators.

Pupper I do not need to remind you about Kelsey. But we've both seen worse than her -- the coveted wife oc, the oc boyfriend, the designed just to be the mun's ideal partner for a canon. And on their own, none of these are negative concepts. In fact, some of my fav OCs are effectively 'OC for a once-mentioned canon concept/character.' If someone came up to me, say, with 'This is my oc, Roose's first wife,' I would not blink because of that. Roose has canonically had three wives, and we only hear of two.

What I would blink about is if I was approached with 'This is my OC, Roose's first wife, his only true love, who he was so kind and gentle with, he only became a monster after her tragic death.' Or 'This is my OC, Roose's first wife, he hated her, despite canon showing he respects and behaves around both wives that we have seen, he was a monster and killed her.' I am writing Roose, thank you, and I will decide how he felt about this character in his narrative. I feel like there's always been this thread of 'entitlement where a muse steamrolls their canon writing partner's say in plotting' but I feel like I've seen it increase recently.

(Bonus if they cry misogyny when you get tired of playing second fiddle/being godmodded to hell. Had a grown 30+ adult pull that on me when I was 19 and still ID'd as a woman. Shit's wild.)

I am always happy to plot with OC shipmates. When I say I love OC/Canon, it goes both ways -- my canons are just as open to my moot's OCs as my OCs are to moot's canons. But it has to be plotting, not me being thrown a script or being passive aggressively guided in DMs. And realistically, I don't think a lot of people who do this are trying to be bad RP partners. They're usually new, or just very excited about what they wrote. But it's still fucking exhausting, especially in cases like Kelsey where it's coupled with an inability to handle having boundaries set so the entire house of cards comes tumbling down --
