Thinking about Durge always keeping the people their around in their peripheral- and Gortash noticing the first time they ever turn their back to him without any sort of reflective surface to let them keep an eye on him

(And him wanting to say something taunting and playful and keeping it to himself lest he taunt them into never letting it happen again)

#something about Gortash being really good at reading Durge and- for the most part- holding his tongue when it comes to things like that #given that there’s a solid chance Durge will withdraw any sort of loose affection they show if Gortash doesn’t handle them showing it well #(which usually just involves him staying quiet and letting Durge do what they want before carefully interacting with whatever it is that’s #happening)#durgetash

Hii you know how you wrote about reader getting hurt because of their job please could you write that with graves or nikolai x

Hey! Sure I can!

Graves’ and Nikolai’s S/O Gets Hurt Because of Their job

Graves: On the outside he may seem calm and collected, but on the inside he’d be seething with rage. However, he won’t show you how angry he actually is, keeping it all to himself instead. He needs to be the big, strong man in your relationship, so he needs to keep his cool in front of you, no matter what. I don’t think he’d be too surprised you’d have gotten hurt, though. While he may have hoped it would never happen, that was just wishful thinking. You’ll either be on Shadow Company’s medbay or in the best hospital he can find nearby. Either way, you’ll be well taken care of. If you’re at Shadow Company, then he’ll station some of his most competent and trusted people to take care of you for the time being. You will be protected by them, and you will get whatever it is you may need from them as well. Or anything you may want, really. No cost is too high for Graves while you’re in recovery. While he may try to make time for you as well, he really does, he will also have someone track down whoever hurt you. This person will then be abducted to Shadow Company for a rough time. Graves himself would take care of them, and he can be pretty effective when he wants to be. However, if you’ve recovered by then, and are among the more vengeful people, then you’re more than welcome to do as you please with the bastard yourself, Graves has no qualms about that. In fact, he’d welcome you doing what you need to do. An eye for an eye. I think he’d become a bit more protective of you afterwards. If you’re okay with it, then he’ll leave you in the hands of some of his Shadows since he can’t always be there for you. If it was up to him, he’d combine you with his work and have you just live on base with him so he could always keep an eye on you, but you likely wouldn’t agree to that. It may seem a bit overbearing, but he will reach out to you more often and does expect you to respond within a few hours, or else he’ll get worried and send someone to check up on you, even if you’re alright.

Nikolai: While Graves may be furious, Nikolai is entirely calm about all of this. Yes, you got hurt, but seeing him panic would likely only worsen the state you’re in. He is well aware of the fact that you will pull through, he made sure of that himself. However, he won’t do anything drastic until you’ve recovered completely. That way your perpetrator has enough time to kill themself before he has to take action. Naturally, you mean the world to him, so any violence against you will not be excused. Nikolai runs a PMC, so he knows what he’s doing, he knows how to deal with violence. Violence for violence is the rule of the beasts and Nikolai’s cruelty is akin to that of a starved animal. However, that can wait until you’re alright again. He’ll visit you every day, even stay at the hospital, and bring you gifts, tell you stories and keep you company otherwise. But he won’t mention the plans he has for the sorry fuck who hurt you, those are for him to know and for you to never find out. Once you’re home again, going about your day, he will seek out the bastard himself and drag him to some place in Siberia. As mentioned before, Nikolai can be cruel when he wants to be, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he let that person run aimlessly around Siberia for a few days, hunted down by him and his people, only to capture and torture them later. Death is a kind of mercy that is not for them, though, so he’ll keep them alive for the time being. They almost took you from him, there’s nothing they could ever do to make up for that. They’ll be a new chewing toy for Chimera until they die for one reason or another. Nikolai won’t get too overprotective, but he will be keeping a closer eye on you. He won’t station one of his people in front of your home when he’s away, but he will try to make more time for you. Calls become more frequent and he will try to find some excuses to spend more time with you, even if it’s just by video chatting with you when you have the time. He won’t freak out, but he won’t forget about that incident either.

#cod #cod x reader #phillip graves #phillip graves x reader #cod nikolai #cod nikolai x reader #I was thinking about wanting a request for Graves again not too long ago so this came at an ideal time #they're both very powerful people who are also war criminals and not afraid of breaking every law in existence #so yeah they'll have their fun with whoever hurt you #thinking about an angry Nikolai scares me so bad actually. he'd be so calm and quiet and that's just the most terrifying thing to me #if you're in an especially bad condition then I think Graves would become more strict with his Shadows #he knows he shouldn't be like that at work but he can't help it since he's just that worried about you #he's usually a fun and caring boss but he'd become very different when you get hurt #of course he'll go back to normal once everything is alright again but you being hurt would hit the Shadows pretty hard as well #I like to think he does talk about you to his Shadows so they definitely know who you are #and just by hearing about you most of them would like you as well. especially because Graves loves you this much and they like him a lot #so I think a lot of Shadows would also grow protective over you and I think that's so very sweet #I always liked to think that the people at Shadow Company were very close with each other #especially because Graves is a good boss and makes sure the work climate there is ideal. despite the war crimes #Graves is actually a pretty fly guy in my eyes. he's just cocky but he does worry a lot about his Shadows and you deep down #he loves his Shadows and he loves you too

also something about foolish, who usually sticks around spawn, who builds or fools around, who takes care of his daughter, going off thousands of blocks away to fight in dungeons. to throw himself into the fight again and again. to find something harder to fight each time, to get a reward that he doesn’t really need or want anyway. no leo around for him to worry about, or worry about him in return, after all

#foolish 🤝 bad - healthy coping mechanisms who??#anyways no one is dealing with this well and I’m ready for them to just destroy the island until their children come back or they can go #and save them #sorry to keep angst posting on main I’m going through it pfksjfjs #I’m just. foolish isn’t one to get serious or genuinely upset. frustrated maybe. hardly upset like he is #his reaction to Leo? not letting anyone read the book she left before he could even if it would take a lot more effort?#he had his moment of ‘wtf’ laughter. and then he has his genuine im upset I’m pissed I’m at a loss reaction. which is the polar opposite of #his usual frantic raised voice almost comical over the top reactions #when Tina finds out he can’t even fully brush it off with a joke to comfort her. he can’t reassure her. he gets quiet #I’m just. the whole combo. I’m upset about this man #mcyt #qsmp #foolish #z speaks

!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#A great episode tbh especially given the low budget. I feel like they really did their very best #And even though what I'm going to say next is probably going to be all critic - because I nitpick things and that's what I always end up–#talking about - I still want to underline that it was a very solid and enjoyable episode!!!#Alright the ss/kk was so 💞💞💞 every scene I had to rewatch twice or thrice akhscbashfb they're so cute!!!#Except for the riding scene tho. That scene gives me massive second hand embarrassment every time I just wish it will end as fast as–#possible pffttt. Mmmmhhh... The drawings weren't even too bad all accounted. My main complain is about the quicksand scene...#I feel like that one should be a slow quiet emotional scene. I never licked the choice of using the song as background soundtrack :/#I feel like it ruins the mood of the scene (it was still good though)#I also... Generally don't like the direction they seem to go for with Akutagawa's character in the anime‚ he seems quite a bit flatter–#compared to how he is in the manga. He can't be angry and evil ALL the time you need to show that softness get through from time to time.#If not what even is the point of his character. Yet in the anime he's angry (and not distraught) when he loses the mine craft and he's–#angry when he's questioning Atsushi about his motifs and he's angry when he's bragging about Atsushi's abilities to Goncharov and he's–#angry when he makes the promise with Atsushi at the end of the episode and eventually he'll be just as angry even when telling Atsushi–#to run away as he's sacrificing his life for him. It is pretty flat at the end of the day.#If I can say something about K/ensho Ono without being killed I think they do contribute to making him feel angry all the time.#But that said it's all probably poor directing choices (or simply choices I don't agree with).#Also‚ about cuts. Usually I try to be lenient about it– I understand it's hard to fit in everything and b/sd already does a very–#good job by adapting the manga almost panel-by panel. It's just that... You skip Akutagawa showing compassion for Atsushi after the–#orphanage director died. You skip Atsushi sharing the same compassion when Akutagawa loses his targed in the mines chase. You skip the–#“Nothing special about that. // I suppose he's far crueler than my own mentor.” line. And sure each of them may be negligible by their own #But together they wave a consistent web of relationship between the two characters you know? And it's a loss to omit them all #Well no mind. Again it was still a great episode overall!!!!#I think the colors in the mines could have been prettier in the mines but we can't have it all #Off to season 4!!! Omg I can't believe we got this far :DDD #random rambles #FINALLY was able to catch up in time for the season 3 finale!!!!!!

#sleazy old male private detective characters like him >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>#my taste in fictional men is truly atrocious but that's ok <3 #but seriously i haven't been able to stop thinking about him since last Friday #and i've been chewing my therapist and social worker's ears off about him (because he's relevant to Things & they're encouraging me)#bless their hearts because they don't fully understand but they're happy he's keeping me afloat and-#-away from my usual unhealthy coping mechanisms right now <3 #kevin bacon #john labat #maxxxine #i'm so excited to watch it in English as well! the German dub was good and his VA's voice fit the character but like you know #that one 30 secs clip on YouTube of when he meets Maxine in the hotel lives rent free in my head #because wdym that's what he sounds likeee FUCK #will have to grip my sister's arm to hell tomorrow to keep quiet and sane i guess oops #i'm a sucker for that voice and thick Southern drawl (i think?) <3

thinking pondering to me john torres is like. what if u met a woman. with confidence and dignity and a strong moral backbone. you meet and she makes a distinct impression with her honesty and her frankness and she seems like she's always sure of what she wants and what she needs and she's so different from anyone else you know and thats exciting and she's exciting and she likes you specifically you. and you don't think much of you but it feels good to be liked by someone like that. you love her of course. you marry her. of course!

#diary #miral of course miral this post as all other posts on my blog is about miral. head in my hands #john torres and his projected insecurities and shitty behavior you will always be infamous.#im so deeply rooted in my headcanons for them i have au's . girl the universe isnt even that well established ?#call me b'elanna torres the way i'm turning miral and john over in my head to figure out what the heck happened #in my head john and miral are like. john voice she's never stuttered in her life she always knows what to do she's very serious strong head #on her shoulders. my kind of woman.#meanwhile miral is like. act first pray on it later was that a mistake? well what is a mistake really this is my path now #and i'll have to see how to handle what has been done. seeing as now it can't be changed shrugs. the honorable thing to do.#i also think they see a lot of their flaws as like-#consequences of their cultures and not like personal flaws which can sometimes be true but also sometimes they are very much flaws in the #person.#miral is a little too sure of herself bordering on arrogance and likes control. john is like ahh klingons and their surefootedness :)#<- a little correct but also very wrong.#john is very like. at his worst a cold shoulder bad at personal confrontation kind of a pushover quick to resent but usually just seems #serious and occasionally quiet . normally social tho! so miral is like. a consequence of his upbringing that can't be changed. i will #take him as he is.#which is a nice sentiment and would normally be applied well unless you are these two specifically.#what happens when its 10 or even just five years later and you're getting tired of the cowardice? what happens when its five years later and #you can't go a day without arguing? what happens then.#did you confuse her arrogance for poise for assertiveness? did you confuse her recklessness with courage? whos wrong her or you?#miral voice is he a fool does he not care? he's content to just stand by? cower?#i think from the klingon pov a man who isn't willing to fight for you and your relationship must be devastatinggggg #not literally of course here but also literally. lol #but yeah what does it do to you when the person you love won't even argue with you anymore just totally pulls away? leaves. head in my hands #who do you think fell first. idk but i know who fell harder! :) <- tears in my eyes #i really like pathways where they made miral like a chatty woman and had her offer to host parties for b'elanna and her friends it was so #sweet i should read it again.#i like her to be a little crazy though <3 :)

me age seven being sat down in front of the school’s district child psych lady and being given strange, simple spatial puzzles to solve and then long, complicated worksheets and hammering my way through them at the speed of light while having zero comprehension what their purpose was or why i was here: this is urgent! i have to get a good grade in Weird Puzzles, Or Else, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve,

#kjalkjsdalkjasdl mrs button was a nice lady but not one adult in my childhood ever seemed to notice what to me now seems like #a pretty obvious case of the autisms #then again maybe they just didn't look as hard unless it was *really* obvious back then . it was like. what. 2000? a couple years later #everybody was talking about autism but not when i was six or seven then it was usually just when it was Very Visible #a couple years later my cousin who's more visibly on the spectrum than me got her diagnosis so young that she's pretty much always had it #which is...well i think it's just made her life difficult in a different way. people underestimate her or don't treat her like she's her age #but then she's always had the opportunity to get accommodations and people are sometimes more forgiving when she can't do something #whereas i got labeled 'kid that should be ahead of the game' from a pretty young age and then when i struggled adults either ignored it #or it was just a huge hassle to them and even i could see it exasperated them to have to work around me #but because mrs button (nice lady but what were you thinking) hadn't told them to treat me like a kid with a developmental disorder #they didn't do that in good OR bad ways . so i never got any accommodations with school stuff i struggled with which was a fair bit #i wasn't supposed to need extra testing time in a quiet room or tutoring with math or help organizing my abysmally scattered things #the only time i DID get that was in sixth grade when i was sort-of friends with this kid jonathan who was Very On The Spectrum #he wasn't really a talker unless it was about whatever he was reading which suited me fine so we just kind of existed in each other's space #and his TSS was this very smart and nice lady who had clearly clocked that Something Was Going On With Me and even though it wasn't like #her JOB she made a little bit of time for me. mostly with emotional stuff (i think i was under the impression she was a therapist?)#but if i had some problem with being unable to keep friends or being frozen out by the kids i wanted to be liked by (happened often)#she'd be able to just like. be there she'd make the time . wish i could remember her name

Back with the Train Chatelaines and Battle Maison twins.

Imagining a scenario where the twins visit Unova to try out the Battle Subway and somewhere in the middle of everything all six of them just end up chilling and talking about trains and such.

The time comes for a train to depart, and the four Chatelaines all give their own version of "All aboard!" as they like to do when they're together -- Morgan has a steady and strong voice, Dana has excellent volume but sounds aggravated, Evelyn is the quietest and has an unsteady voice, Nita's voice is loud but high because she hasn't quite mastered projecting from her chest yet -- before turning to the twins and saying, "now you try."

The twins glance at each other.

Ingo takes a deep breath.

Emmet plugs his ears, and the sisters are confused for all of two seconds as to why.

#battle chatelaines #submas #subway boss emmet #subway boss ingo #battle chatelaine evelyn #battle chatelaine dana #battle chatelaine nita #battle chatelaine morgan #Ingo is still very very loud but doesn't usually need to project his voice #so his volume capabilities aren't the most well known #Emmet is fully aware because. well. siblings #his twin has always been like this he is physically incapable of whispering #emmet nearly went crazy the first time ingo got a sore throat and stopped talking #it was so quiet why was it so Q U I E T #pokemon #egginfroggintalkin

Jason Todd; excerpts from "Courtney Love prays to Oregon"

#jason todd #batman #dc #red hood #bruce wayne #dc comics #web weave #web weaving #this poem fits Jason very well #I had to do a whole work just with this one #the last one. refering to screaming. I chose a panel where Jason is silent #because in a narrative way he is screaming and forcing Bruce to look at him #but he doesn't even need to raise his voice #in that whole scene aat the end of utrh I imagine Jason talking very softly #as a contrast to the way victims usually scream and noe one hears them. Jason is quiet and calm and leaves you no choice but to hear him

walking in to rephrase my thoughts from discord but i was just thinking about tiger getting checked up by his ripper n yknow one could consider tiger a 'borg in cyberpunks terms sure hes not super insane looking like smasher, he likes looking human and theres almost an art to having all these enhacements and reinforcements all neatly tucked away for no one to see yes you have the obvious visible cyberware on his face, his body, the tail but its nowhere near as extreme as you see elsewhere at times, hell, look at someone from maelstrom

all in all he looks.. tame, very stylized sure but you might not exactly expect this all going on in there

#theres definitely a humm to him when its real quiet and you rest your head on his chest #would usually hear the cyberware idling #n sure... something to be said about cyberpsychosis or what have you but i think the way its done in lore is kind of. lame #i like to imagine it with alittle more nuance #highly dependant on the person and how fast you install it all #i think after a certain point yes your body or mind cannot handle any more but theres more fun ways to show this #that arent just super murdering everyone #tiger is a big guy without all of that tech. hes built and healthy so i think that sets a higher baseline #more space to build on and more options to push further up #without him being in any danger #and all of this cyberware was installed gradually over years with his ripper's watchful eye #making sure it all works #doesnt conflict or affect tiger negatively #and yea i admit it. its overpowered perhaps. but im playing touys and if theres someone like smasher looking like that being perfectly fine #well. tiger is allowed #tiger #my ocs #i also think its just a fun aspect to have this mechanical noise alongside the organic heartbeat

the way v can refuse hands when he needs them most and he literally locks the door for one last attempt at persuasion is the moment his suave mask falls even if only for a second ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ

like when you first meet him and he starts to read the chessmen of mars? is such a subtle yet upfront way to say “you're a little bitch”

you're a chess piece and there's nothing you can do now you have been absorbed by this game MY game

AND LET'S NOT forget when he tells v they earned their silver slippers, comparing them to dorothy and when asked about what role he takes he claims to be the narrator, who is third-person omniscient, which means he thinks he is and probably is all-knowing, even of things he "shouldn't"/isn't expected to be aware of.

#and kudos for feeling confident enough to lock himself into a room with v not knowing how they'll react to it #for everyone playing the dlc ─ he doubles the rate of your usual reward but then you should accept! 🤗#it's like the last gig he gives you and is actually marked as a sidequest and not the usual fixer quest🫡#sometimes when my mind drifts when i'm @ gym i compare him to songbird the way she clings to her last remnants of appearing human #while he manipulates his manner of speech on purpose idk if anyone else noticed but the way he speaks? with the small breaks etc #they said he does this so it's more difficult to decipher where he's from ─ every word is calculated spoken with intent #using french german and what not terms #makes me think he wants to be perceived as a non-human enigma that is infallible and inviolable #I WAS ALSO THINKINGGGGG where are hands' people? like all of the big shot fixers in night city that you meet are surrounded by their closes #or with security but hands is all by himself the whole floor is so awfully quiet like is this an ex-corpo now fixer thing?#looking 👀 @ el capitán as well WHAT POWER ARE YOU GUYS HIDING?? SHOW ME #stories:wade.#° › OOC ‹ 𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄 * out of character ╲ MUN .

i was playing with one of our newer little boys today and out of nowhere he went "oh no! you have a booboo!" and grabbed my hand to show me a stripe of red marker on my finger 😂❤️ it was so sweet! he also later in the day gave me a coloring page he did and told me "this is for you teacher! and see what this says here?" and pointed to some scribbles along the side of the page and i was like omg what's it say??? and he goes "it's your name! because it's for you!" and it was so cute that i didn't have the heart to point out that i don't think he even knows my name yet 😂😂

#dani.txt #he's a real sweetie #very quiet and reserved but gets along very well with the other kids #he needs a lot of positive reinforcement ive noticed. like he usually ends his sentences with ''right?'' like he wants confirmation #and when he makes something he'll ask all of us if it's good #actually today we were doing a craft and i had told him ''oh that's beautiful!'' or something like that a few times #so after a bit he asked me ''is it beautiful?'' exactly the way i always say it hahaha
