OC Smash or Pass: X'vahl Tia

Tagged by @sae-mian tagging: @sae-mian again (since you said you would do Minasha if you got tagged again) and anyone who wants to do it because I can't remember who has or has not done it yet.

Rules: pretty self explanatory. include physical descriptions or pics, and propaganda. the “other” label can be used for “sexuality misalignment” (ie: oc is femme and you’re gay, vice versa or you aren’t into smashing but a specific thing you wanna do with them like perhaps hug or study them under a microscope idc).

For the purpose of this game, answers will be considered as if he is single and could be potentially interested.

ABOUT: height: 5'7'' age: 32 gender: cis male sexuality: bisexual (no preference)

PROS: - Once he's committed, he is all in. He is yours with every fiber of his being. - Charismatic, and outgoing. He could make friends in an empty room. - Has fangs. Knows how to use them ;) - Is a hopeless romantic. - Has a beautiful singing voice, can play several instruments. Can and will serenade you.

CONS: - He is terrified of getting his heart broken again, as such he may fall in love, but to both admit it to himself and then to say it out loud takes a lot of time. - Will adopt any and all wayward orphans he finds. ("Bad parents? No parents? I'm your dad now.") - Will hide his own problems so as not to trouble you. Most people have to pry it out of him if they think he's not doing well. - If you break his heart, it will destroy him. - Thinks he's subtle when he's not.

MISC: - Has two biological children he hasn't seen since they were infants but who are still a driving force and source of motivation for him. - Is extremely self-sufficient. Can catch, clean, and cook his own food (although he's not super into cooking, but can be convinced if it's with people he cares about) - Is really good with kids. - Monogamous (except for that bit in his 20s). - Purrs in his sleep when he feels safe and extremely content. - Has been in several more "casual" relationships (mostly in order to protect himself from heartbreak), but at his core greatly prefers a committed relationship with one partner. SEXUALLY: - Fairly versatile and good at adapting. Can be pretty much whatever his partner needs. Enjoys slow gentle lovemaking with plenty of deep kisses and soft touching. Alternatively can also enjoy it rough especially if it involves biting and being bitten (has fangs, knows how to use them) and/or being slammed against the wall. Is particularly good with his mouth and is more than happy to demonstrate those skills (just watch out because his ears are soft and can tickle). ROMANTICALLY: - At his core, he is a hopeless romantic. He is also very adaptive romantically. He enjoys doing anything and everything with his partner. Want to do something long and involved and will take a bunch of time? Sure! Want to stay inside and just enjoy each other's company together? Yes, he would love that! He feels and acts with his whole heart, so when he's yours, he is yours.

Everybody NEEDS to listen to the new Wild Life retrospective on Imp and Skizz's podcast. They got Grian called in and they give so many cool insights into the series (and honestly say so many things I think people need to hear)

Highlights for me:

Grian designed each wild card to be weaponized and wanted everyone to take advantage of them. He goes over each individually and all the thought he put into them and all the work the backend team put into their execution. He's rightfully really proud of them. Him gushing about Trivia Bot and how excited he was to show his friends the "coolest snail ever" is particularly sweet.

Skizz says discovering each wild card was a LOT of fun. He says something like "I can't believe as an adult I get to have so much fun." Impulse is really impressed with the execution of each, citing stuff like making it rain when the time one activated and the passive mobs spawning in before being replaced, and how the little details like that built excitement and tension.

Grian says how he understands that some viewers maybe just want more seasons of the essentially the same series, ie six seasons of just Third Life, but it's more important to him that the Lifers get to experience something new and fresh. He also doesn't like comparing each series, preferring to consider each one as its own thing.

Impulse can't wait to do another Life series, Skizz is equally excited but tries to hold discussion about it back since he doesn't want anyone pressuring Grian, who is palpably burned out. Like, you can hear how tired this man is. Grian says there will probably be more series since everyone is still enjoying it, but he's not trying to outdo himself and not to expect him to keep escalating.

Skizz always tries to do something new each season yet feels like he always falls back into the same habits and dynamics, but not this time: he feels like he got to explore a new dynamic with the Spanners and had a blast doing it. He and Grian gush about how much fun they had with their "big brother trying to keep his little brothers alive" routine.

They have a grand time making fun of Impulse and his "Sweats". Impulse is unabashedly still hungry to win a series.

Impulse didn't want to kill zombie Skizz, because of the five minute cooldown, but Skizz makes clear that he was really happy with being a zombie, even if there was a lot of doing nothing in between summons. He says it means a lot to him that he got to help with the burden of facilitating the series, even just a little bit.

Grian gives good insight into his personal life strategy: he does some things to deliberately test his relationship with other players. Standing in the Danger Zone was a trust exercise, testing Jimmy and Scar. Jimmy and Scar failed.

Despite Scar failing the trust exercise, Grian heard the disappointment in Scar's voice about the Snail Bot thing and immediately caved, but he's really happy that it led them to in-canon reconciling and becoming strong allies again.

Grian's favorite moment was making Jimmy pay for the failed trust exercise by blowing up the bunker, particularly pleased with his one liner of "it was always gonna be like this". He says Wild Life as a whole has been the most enjoyable series for him, even though he didn't get to have as much fun as the other players due to knowing all the wild cards.

All three of them gush over the scene of everybody failing to kill Joel as he teleports around, laughing about how it was straight out of a movie or an anime. Impulse feels like Joel took his superpower to a new level, but Grian reminds him the he didn't have an army chasing him around trying to kill him. They're all super impressed with how the finale turned out.

Some of the powers were assigned (Cleo, BigB, BDubs, Scar, Lizzie), some were random (Impulse, Martyn). Some were based on players' names, others on their personal narratives, but coming up with ~16 different powers without including any that would just be exploited for cheap instakills was really difficult, which is why there were so many espionage ones. Hilariously, Grian was hoping Scar would accidentally kill Jimmy by punching him off a cliff because of their ritual of trying punching in the earlier episodes. He also gave Scar that power because he knew Scar wouldn't feel bad about killing people with it.

Grian chose to give himself the mimic so he could show people how their powers worked if he needed to, and so that it wasn't given to somebody else who'd have to spend the whole session figuring out the mechanics of 15 separate superpowers and potentially dying because of it. And because he thinks its the coolest one and he wanted it (lol)

All around there's tons of fun details and stuff in this episode of the podcast and absolutely everybody should listen to it all the way through.

This might be a strange question, but do you think it would be cathartic for Machete to have a tamagotchi in the modern AU? One of those things where it heals his inner child but he isn't sure why?

Big fan of fics where Garak assumes he and Julian are in an outright romantic committed relationship which has to be kept quiet for safety reasons while Julian is misreading everything and thinks they're just friends with benefits and that the secrecy is because Garak doesn't want to bring actual emotions or commitment into it.

Garak is sad they can't be more public and worries that he's not good enough for Julian, and Julian is sad because he thinks Garak isn't in love with him and he's just a fun endorphin release on lonely nights in exile.

I woke up this morning still thinking about Fadel waking up in Style's bed.

I wonder what was running through Fadel's head as he turned to look at Style, eyes still squinting against the too-bright morning light, the unfamiliar comfort of the shape of Style's name on his lips for the very first time. I wonder if he was too sleepy to process how strange it was that he didn't really mind being pinned down by the weight of Style's thigh thrown over his hips; that the sensation was grounding and reassuring rather than being confining or suffocating. I wonder if the thought crossed his mind that he wouldn't mind waking up like this again, wouldn't mind letting someone into his space, wouldn't mind giving someone the bared vulnerability of lying naked and unprotected with all the implications of unwavering trust that has -- not if it was with him.

I wonder if Fadel registered the way his heartbeat is steady and calm despite the strange surroundings and unfamiliar bed, because something in him has already labelled the person lying next to him as safe.

I wonder if Fadel even understood that this, right here, in all its quiet and unacknowledged stillness, was the moment he fell in love?

im so glad that we never get a clear picture of sophie’s background in leverage & i hope we never do. however i also really like making up various, often conflicting backstories for her in my head. perhaps they’re all backstories for an alias of hers, ones she laid to rest back in season two.

Easy fix - Ford kills Stan with the crossbow, but while working on bringing him back Ford notices Stan has multiple other health problems, injuries and illnesses, from his life on the road, involvement with gangsters, and not being able to afford medical care. In the canon timeline he would have to deal with these things by himself very slowly over 30 years, keeping them secret and "self-medicating" a lot. In this timeline, Ford thinks "If I don't just bring him back, but bring him back IMPROVED, he'll have no choice but to forgive me! Right?...Right?"

Anon this is GENIUS, I’ll be using this from now on ty <3

i rly don't care about what people do with fanfics and stuff but the people in the fields of mistria subreddit going "well even if olric turns out to be aromantic he could still be in a qpr with you!!!" make my blood boil. if you're an aro person saying that whatever. if you aren't, you are required to give an aro person 10 dollars per offense.

like this is not an "aro people can still date!!!" moment this is a "I know he's aro but I still want to date him and won't accept a no!" moment

my sibling just referred to vasco as "the floppy dog"

There have been dogs floppier than him but I'd say he's at least a good 7/10 on floppiness scale.

This is the question we all need answered..

Does Jonny bite?

Do you want the canonical answer or the answer we all know in our hearts to be true? While there are instances in canon of other things (octokittens) biting Jonny, there is no evidence of his biting someone (at least, not while they're still alive-- he does eat people). In fact, the crew claims that they, collectively, don't bite, even if "other forms of assault are fair game." Of course, they may be lying, as they do about most things.

However, I think we all know instinctively that that man is a biter.
