You are like a book character thats just. Yeah what did i expect from a name like that bnfjfjfjf

Yo on the reading tho!?? I feel the revitalized pjo interest im staring at my pjo books like. Soon soon i will get to u (THO IM MISSING A FEW OF THEM AND I DONT KNOW WHERE THEYVE GONE. THEYVE BEEN STOLEN I SWEAR) i actually have been trying to read actual books again and!!! I finished one finally!!! Only took me like a month bmgkfkfk i finished call down the hawk and my local library is ab to murder me for how long ive had it-

Dude okay so i work at a movie theater right and ive wanted to see boy and the heron so badly ive just been so busy im staring at it and like ten other movies like pls i need free time. Other than that i got baldurs gate 3 and have been wandering through a world download for a minecraft series i like. And im once again cursed by my inability to finish fics so my solution is write all of it then post and now i have like two 15k wips just sitting in my notes app ive been trying to finish for like two years T-T

I've read so many books I've started to become them, and honestly? There are worst fates. I think I'd make a good like...wise character. Like the one the main character goes to when they have a question and I pull on information I don't explain how I got and set them on their quest or something. Or they discover a cursed magic item and they're like, well Quil probably knows something useful. And then I do.

Anyway! Congrats on the reading! I actually did so much reading, writing, and drawing the past week that I gave myself a headache three days in a row. Like I legit had to just sit for an hour yesterday doing nothing. I've been meaning to read Call Down the Hawk since it came out--I actually started it back then, but for some reason I only got to the part right after the crabs(?) in the dorm where Ronan gets kicked out, and then cries(?) in the garden(?). But I fully intend to return to it, I love the world of trc. And Ronan's my favorite. so.

and the pjo thing!! i've been blasting through them at the rate of about one a day just like oh my god I forgot how much I loved these. the writing style is just so fun. currently half-way through mark of athena, but I had to stop because I do this thing every year where the first book I read is a twilight book for shits and giggles, so I gotta finish life and death before I go back to it (i'm already about 3/4ths of the way done so not a huge detour).

Oh right the boy and the heron! I forgot I mentioned that--I saw it yesterday! I'll admit it did contribute to my headache, because big bright screen in a dark room is...not great. my laptop gives me headaches sometimes, but anyway. I don't think it's my favorite ghibli film, but it had a draw to it. it's quite beautiful, and it's thought provoking in its way. very ghibli-esque.

bg3!! I haven't played myself (doesn't seem my kind of game), but I will admit I did have a few moments of just being enraptured by astarion. which is so cliche of me, but what can I say? his dialogue was funny.

good luck with all of your fics though--I've got a handful that are just waiting to be edited before I post them. but the wings au and then gift exchanges took precedent, so they've been sitting a while. but! those are over now! so I plan to edit and finally post them soon. I've also got this kotlc book 1 but from fitz's pov project in the works I'm very excited to return to :)

anyway, it is very nice to hear from you tater!! giving you the biggest high five rn o7 spicy gatorade or something

#quil's queries #a-lonely-tatertot #long post #fun fact life and death is like the only twiIight book I haven't fully read before #i've read the ending but that's it #it's nearly identical (except for the ending). it's just a genderbend #and it is. wow it's an experience #though it did affirm my gender a little out of nowhere???#one of the minor characters is named quil. and this new she/her quil is the only one who's name stayed identical #everyone else their pronouns and name changed to something else starting with the same letter #but not quil #so. name so gender neutral even smeyer acknowledges it #although there are fewer q names in the first place. but there are others. like quinn #anyway

woo I finished it, I was too tired to say much last night lol

anyways I was in an art slump until I came across Epic the Odyssey musical by Jorge Rivera-Herrans and my favorite songs involved Athena

made me think a bit about Riddle and Ace

while drawing this, i was listening to "My Goodbye" on loop

so I'm just gonna ramble about the lyrics and stuff (and talk about a potential AU) because I love this song so much

I think it'd be cool if there was an AU but it wouldn't really make sense for Ace to be Odysseus when he doesn't have a wife or a kid? They could replaced with smth else ig? but also if I'm thinking that Riddle is in Athena's role, I'd gotta assign other people (house wardens most likely) to greek god roles and no way would I ever give anyone Zeus' role

his song is urghhh. it talks about Odysseus' pride and that's pretty meaningful but compares that pride to a woman and... it's a bit icky to me bc it's Zeus

hmm so instead of the house wardens being assigned to the greek gods and goddesses, ig it could just be the Great Seven (ok so most of the house wardens + Jamil lol)

I wouldn't know what Ace would be doing though

what could he possibly want?

anyways, here are the lyrics to "My Goodbye" and I'm just gonna talk about my thoughts on how that'd apply to Riddle and Ace

That's just like you, why should I be surprised? Selfish and prideful and vain

I actually misheard it as "I'm just like you" and that would've been so interesting like that could have suggested that Ace and Riddle are actually quite similar

er like the pride part?? af;fakj how to explain? oh well...

You're not looking for a mentor. I'm not looking for a friend

it's sung by Odysseus and yeah, Ace would totally point out Riddle's flaws to him.

hmm Ace isn't exactly the most selfless person and I think he's got some pride. I don't wanna call Riddle selfish but he's certainly got pride as he tries to be like the Queen of Hearts, imposing and powerful. plus he doesn't like it when people mention his height.

sung by Athena. So Riddle's goal (in this AU??) would be to pass his teachings to a successor and he thought Ace was promising. I think it'd be interesting if Riddle, as part of the Great Seven, had conditional immortality. So the Great Seven could be like renowned gods in this world. I remember a snippet from Percy Jackson and the Olympians where it's said that gods are immortal but they'd technically die if no one remembered or worshipped them

and that'd be so interesting if applied to the Great Seven. So Riddle's trying to pass on his knowledge to Ace and be remembered that way ig but Ace doesn't care for Riddle's strict rules and lessons.

hmm for the friend part. Well, I'm not sure if Ace would be looking for a friend but Riddle definitely doesn't have that as one of his goals. he's too focused on trying to forge the world the way he wants

At least I know what I'm fighting for While you're fighting to be known Since you claim you're so much wiser Why's your life spent all alone? You're alone

ahhh Odysseus really knows how to use his words omg

just like Ace always speaks the hard facts when he calls people out whoaaa

so I've already talked about the "fighting to be known" part for Riddle bc he's gotta stay renowned by people to keep his immortality but here I'll focus on the "alone" part. Ace is really revealing Riddle's insecurities

talking about the twst canon story, Riddle really wanted friends as a kid and he really enjoyed playing with Trey and Che'nya so he must have been so dejected when his mom banned him from even getting near them. when Riddle saw Trey again at NRC, he even wondered if he and Trey could still be friends

so Ace is really jabbing at where it hurts mwhahahaah

hey what if Riddle, since he's immortal, had to watch Trey and Che'nya from afar, knowing that they'd die and he'd outlive them?

ohohoho so many possible ideas

This day, you sever your own head This day, you cut the line This day, you lost it all Consider this as my goodbye

I really like the line "you sever your own head"

I suppose it's quite obvious but with Riddle's unique magic being "Off with your head!", that's what reminded me of Riddle naturally

except here, Riddle would be telling Ace that he's the one who cut off his own head; his actions led him to this

I love this song so much wahaha

if only I could think of fitting outfits for this supposed AU urghh

but yeah ig that's it

can you tell I spent more time drawing Riddle than Ace? I think Ace should've been in the Heartslabyul uniform but I didn't feel like drawing that again and Ace also should've been more dynamic like pointing at Riddle but again, I didn't wanna draw that haha

and wow, I just figured out to insert links and make them look nice and also italicize stuff and change the color

thanks for my friend for telling me :D

Haha :D

Will go to sleep now

sunshine (percy jackson x reader)

requested by anon “Hey, just found you today! I was wondering if you might do a Percy x reader? Something fluffy and the reader is an artsy, music loving, child of Apollo? Percy sees her and suddenly has a new found interest in pottery or drawing or something. His friends (the seven + Nico, Will, and Reyna) notice he’s spending a lot of time at the arts center and call him out/convince him to ask her out. That kind of seems like a lot so no pressure but thank you anyway!”

summary the seven and friends are sick and tired of seeing you and percy tiptoe around your feelings, and decide to push you two together the best they can.

a/n this is super long and im not sorry in the least,, keep those requests coming y’all !!!

gif cred belongs to @pydiasterek

“has anyone seen percy?” hazel asked, walking up to her friends with frank trailing behind her. “he said we’d be able to spar after lunch, but he didn’t even come to lunch.”

“probably at the arts center,” annabeth said, smirking to herself as she flipped the page of her book.

“arts center?” hazel repeated, furrowing her brow. “since when has percy been interested in the arts?”

“since he caught sight of y/n l/n,” jason snickered, his friends joining his chuckles.

“who’s that?” frank asked.

“apollo girl,” leo said, wiggling his eyebrows as the two romans joined their friends under the tree were lounging under. “she’s super talented. percy walked by the arts center and legitimately did a double-take when he saw her. i didn’t know people actually did that.”

“are they dating?” hazel asked innocently.

“of course not,” reyna said, not looking up from where she was shining her sword.

“well, why not?” hazel asked, looking around at her friends.

they all looked around, no one seeming to have an answer.

“maybe we should help them,” piper suggested. they all looked to the aphrodite child, who began to smirk. “you know, push ‘em together a bit. couldn’t hurt.”

and that’s how it started.

“hey, percy!” jason called out. the sea demigod had just entered the arena. jason waved his friend over to him. “you up for some sparring?”

“sure thing!” percy called back, heading toward him. as he approached, he caught sight of you spinning a spear near where jason was waiting. he watched you swing toward leo, who immediately whimpered and cowered. you giggled.

“ready?” jason asked. percy’s gaze snapped back to him.

“yeah,” he said, nodding. they both got into their stances before charging at each other. as they sparred, percy glanced back every now and again to watch you and leo fight, you easily overpowering the hephaestus child. one of those times percy glanced over his shoulder, jason took the opportunity to catch him off guard, making percy stumble as he countered and fall back. but before he could hit the ground, something hard dug into his back.

he opened his eyes to see you standing over him with a smirk. “well, hello, water boy,” you said, shaking your head. percy offered you a sheepish smile. he realized it was the butt of your spear digging into his back, holding him up.

“uh... hi,” he breathed. you giggled, pushing your spear forward to held stand him up straight. he turned to you with an embarrassed smile as you leaned against your weapon. “good catch.”

“thanks,” you hummed. “maybe you should stick to swimming, water boy.”

“maybe you should stick to singing, sunshine,” percy retorted, crossing his arms. you let out a scoff, followed by a laugh.

“sunshine?” you repeated. “now that’s just lazy.”

“and water boy isn’t?” he retorted. jason and leo shared looks as you two continued to tease each other, slowly moving away to leave you two alone. they weren’t surprised when they found out nothing ended up happening.

the next day, annabeth invited you to join them around the campfire after dinner, hoping to at least get you and percy to realize the other’s feelings. when you arrived, they all greeted you warmly.

“who invited you, sunshine?” percy joked as you took the seat next to him on one of the seating logs surrounding the fire.

“someone who doesn’t think of such lazy nicknames, merman,” you tutted, shaking your head. he scoffed as you winked at annabeth.

you all talked for the longest while, telling stories and jokes and enjoying each other’s company. while you two may have not noticed, the rest of the group noticed that you and percy had gravitated closer together during the time you two sat around the fire, your thighs almost pressed completely together after just an hour.

“im gonna call it a night,” will yawned, standing and stretching. nico had slung his jacket over the boy’s shoulders a while ago.

“that’s my cue, too,” nico sighed, standing after his boyfriend. will grabbed his hand with a smile before turning and pointing at you.

“don’t get back too late, missy,” he teased, winking at you.

“i know the rules, william,” you scoffed teasingly. he chuckled and the couple waved goodnight to the rest of the group. reyna, hazel, frank, and piper followed soon after. that left annabeth, jason, percy, and you around the fire.

“you’re not tired yet, water boy?” you hummed, looking over at percy.

“no,” he shrugged, looking down at you. “are you?”

you shrugged in return, stifling a yawn. “i won’t go to bed until you do.”

“that’s not a good rule to live by,” percy laughed.

“why not?” you grinned, quirking an eyebrow.

“well, you know how im great at a lot of things?”

“you are?”

“i am,” he confirmed in a soft tone that made you giggle. he grinned down at you. “but uh, the one thing im not very good at is sleeping.”

you hummed. “that’s tragic. maybe you should just sleep.”

“you know, i didn’t think of that.”

“i figured as much,” you tsked. neither of you noticed that annabeth and jason had snuck off, leaving you two to flirt and tease alone. the only evident product of success from that night was seeing you return percy’s sweatshirt the next morning. they took that as a small victory.

the kicker was when you were all playing a game of paranoia in jason’s cabin. you were all sat around in a circle on the cleared out floor when piper had sneakily proposed the game. you were all for it. to make sure they could manipulate the game to go their way, the group had separated you and percy. you rested your head in leo’s lap and draped your legs across jason. annabeth caught percy’s stare when you had first looked into leo’s eyes and grinned as you settled in.

“i’ll start,” piper proposed. she leaned over to whisper in nico’s ear. the boy considered, looking around the circle as piper leaned back with a smile.

“annabeth,” he answered. “for sure.” said girl flipped the coin she held. they all watched it land on heads.

“reveal!”

“the question was ‘who do you think would get away with murder’,” piper snickered.

“yeah, that’s about right.”

“i believe it.”

“honestly, she probably has already.” you all turned to the athena child in question. she shrugged easily.

“that’s a woman’s secret,” was all she said, making you all laugh. the game continued on and more laughs were shared. then, it was time for annabeth to whisper to percy.

“lay it on me,” percy sighed as annabeth leaned over, making you all chuckle. percy bit his lip as annabeth leaned away with a not-so-secretive smirk. he kept his gaze trained on the floor in front of him as he considered. he turned to annabeth and asked, “why is this so hard?” you all chuckled as she shrugged.

“gotta answer, though.”

he sighed, still not looking up as he answered, “y/n.”

you blinked in surprise as your friends erupted in whistles. you watched annabeth flip the coin and your heart dropped as it landed on tails.

“damn,” you muttered. they all laughed and you joined. “i really wanted to know!”

the game continued on until it was leo’s turn to whisper to you. you sat up so he could whisper quietly in your ear.

you shivered as he leaned away. “sorry, i got chills.” you laid back down as you considered and they laughed. you smiled to yourself before answering, “will.”

leo nodded. “flip.” the coin landed on heads.

“i asked who the hottest guy in the room was,” leo grinned.

“sun child vibes!” you exclaimed, throwing up peace signs as will cheered. “no? no one? okay.” you leaned forward to whisper to will as they laughed. percy couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

the circle went around again, and when it was back to percy, he braced himself for a similar question to the one he received last time. he sighed as he leaned away from annabeth.

“i gotta go with y/n again,” he said, shaking his head.

“i didn’t know we were playing favorites,” jason scoffed, making you all laugh.

“what can i say, sparky?” you sighed dramatically. “you’ve been replaced.” jason placed an offended hand on his heart as you turned to annabeth. “flip, please.”

percy wanted to walk into the ocean when the coin landed on heads, making the circle ‘oo’ and laugh. “uh, i was asked who the prettiest girl in the room was.” he scratched the back of his neck and blushed. you opted to blush as well instead of saying anything as the group burst into ‘aww’s and leo started cheering.

after another few rounds, you all decided to call it a night before dionysus or some other unfathomable thing came to break up your makeshift party.

“can i walk you to your cabin?” you turned to see percy standing with his hands in his pockets.

you gave him a smile. “sure thing, barnacle boy.” he rolled his eyes at the nickname as you two walked out of the zeus cabin.

after a minute of silence, you broke, “so, you think im pretty?” he blushed.

“i was hoping you wouldn’t remember that.”

“who do you think i am?”

you both laughed as he scratched the back of his neck. “well, yeah, i guess. beautiful is a better word for it, though.” you smiled as you both stopped before the steps of the apollo cabin. you knew will was probably watching from the window, but you didn’t care. you only cared about the demigod in front of you at that moment.

“wanna know the question i answered you for?” you hummed. he nodded. you smiled, looking into his sea green eyes as you recited, “‘who would you kiss out of everyone here?’”

his eyebrows shot up, as did his heart rate. “really?” you nodded with your usual easy smile. he looked away from your prying eyes for a second to nod and absorb the exciting information. he looked back down at you and started, “can i-”

“please,” you answered with a laugh, eyes closed as you cut him off. he smiled and leaned down slowly to press his lips to yours gently. he pulled away after a moment. your eyes met his and nothing was said before he leaned down again, this time his hands settling on your waist as you wrapped your arms around his neck.

the kiss was more intense this time, both of you spilling all of the thoughts and feelings and tension you had held in since you first met onto the other’s lips. and it was nothing short of euphoric.

but not euphoric enough to drown out the cheers of your friends from all around you two.

Maya is so cool

That's it that's all this is

Maya appreciation time

She is rocking the blue lipstick look cause her hair and tattoos are both the exact same shade and she makes it work somehow. idk how but she does. Her siren powers are my favorite by a long shot, maybe nostalgia, but I love the simplicity of it. Just yank someone or something into another dimension with your mind and they'll stay there till you're done. That's it that's the power. And yet it's still super powerful fe she throws a robot hard enough to bust a hole in the metal wall, she can snatch grenades from mid-air and throw them back at people, she could theoretically Phaselock entire planets with enough eridium by her side. Also in-game she can res people from across the map and is a great sniper alternative to Zer0, which makes her amazing for joining in-progress Digistruct Peak runs to res the players still alive and sniping full health enemies as support

On Pandora she was just rocking a jumpsuit with cargo pants and boots but always carried a book around with her on her belt next to her guns and nades and shield and on Athenas she has kickass robes and still carries a book around with her everywhere which is more in line with Athenas but also now she takes a gun with her to go shopping on a planet full of pacifist monks because VH habits die hard and also she's gotta show off her loot

She snort laughs sometimes during combat and it is just. So perfect. Or when she comes in during Tiny Tina's bnb session and is like "hey guys, finally finished beating the info out of this Hyperion dude :) who wants to go to Helios with us :)" so casually like it's nbd. When she meets Krieg for the first time in Meat Bicycle for Two and picks up on what's going on near immediately and just smiles... Like any other bl2 Vault Hunter and Krieg would've just been shot dead, Maya was the one the devs chose like 'yeah she's the most intelligent and understanding' and they were RIGHT

Also "Don't. Call. Me. Child" from her echo logs before telling everyone to scram holy shit what a badass. And then she goes back to Athenas to help out and do further research on sirens when she's done on Pandora like... A) she totally could've been like 'nah screw everyone here this order took advantage of me. Bye' but she instead she went back and b) she could've just sat around and let Tannis tell her things about Sirens, but she took it into her own hands to research it and that is so goddamn cool because she didn't have to!! But she did and bet she found stuff in those old dusty physical archives not even Tannis knows

Also the fact that she saw a kid in need and didn't even ask if anyone was going to take her in before being like "I'm your mentor now, lol" and giving her a safe place to live and then trusting this kid so goddamn much that she decides to give her her powers and also takes her to Sanctuary to meet her extended found family who all immediately take her in because if Maya trusted her then she's chill with us 🥺👍

She's also really fun to doodle despite the arm tattoos being a nightmare to draw. I love the ones she has under her eye though they're fun to dot 3 in a row with a blue pen. Plus she's ace and that makes me happy 🖤💜🤍 (and bright blue against a dark purple is a wonderful color combo)

#Cruddy rambles #Sorry I drank the Maya appreciation juice tonight #Just thinking about how she's one of my favorite VHs and definitely my favorite siren by a long shot #She deserved way better but I don't wanna get into that rn I just wanna appreciate her #She's a great character and so well designed in both writing and aesthetics

6 Secret Santa / Gifts

Secret Santa Switch

The ever important Secret Santa game was back. It'd been skipped last year but was now back with a vengeance.

Anything could top buck's first here where he'd been given socks with condoms in them. Jenkins had said it was to keep him warm and safe that holiday season.

Buck just hoped he got someone he had a good idea about this year. Even if he didn't he'd do his best to find insight and snatch them a great gift.

This year he'd gotten Davis. He knew a little about them but not as much as the others they was closer too. From what Cooper said they liked fishing yeah but also they'd taken up gardening with their spouse recently.

It was a no brainer to get them a nice new lure that was an imitation of a flowering plant Buck saw in the picture he'd been shown.

He hoped whoever got him put in the same effort but either way he'd still be sure to thank them. No one didn't try really nowadays.

It came to the night and Buck sat next to Eddie after they'd had dinner.

For a second he'd hoped Eddie was his Secret Santa but unless he'd asked buck for help as a way of misdirecting he was thinking it was Hen or Bobby that Eddie had gotten from what he asked him.

He'd looked up from watching Eddie to see Davis gaping at the lure. It filled him with pride to see how happy they were.

"Who was it?" They'd asked picking it up and spinning it around to look at it from every angle.

Maddie sitting beside Athena called it out since Buck took too long. She was writing down who declared having gotten what but some wanted to remain anonymous.

"It was Buck. I guess you like it?" She asked with a smile.

"It's perfect Buck. Can't wait to test it out first chance I get. Thank you"

There was a murmured "why do they get to be one of the lucky ones this year." From one of the others but before buck can look over to see who said it Eddie's bumping him softly causing buck to look over and see him smiling and nodding.

"Buck you're up next." Athena said checking the list for who'd still needed to open theirs.

Buck's box was kinda big and a little heavy. Whatever was inside of it was moving while he picked it up.

Upon unwrapping and opening it he was greeted by-

"Rocks?" Buck asked frowning at his gift. No wait they were-

"Whoever gave this boy coal, I'm watching you." Athena warned as Buck closed his gift.

Maddie's smile faltered.

"Umm. Who's next?" Buck tried laughing while wanting to get this over with.

Eddie looked sympathetic as Buck lowered the box.

"Eddie its you then Sam." Athena announced.

Eddie picked up his and quickly unwrapped it not once but twice make that three times.

It was some drink mixes and liquors? Huh?

Hen came over from getting a drink refill with Karen and Chim.

"Eddie why are you opening Buck's gift?" She asked while looking at what she'd gotten him in Eddie's hands.

"What?" Eddie saw Buck lean down to pick up the tag.

"You got me too?" He asked Hen while showing Eddie that it read Buck's Secret Santa.

"What do you mean too?" Karen asked with her arm around Hen.

Buck pulled out his big box and showed them.

"Hold on a minute. So no one got Eddie but two people got buck?" Athena asked as Bobby got up and walked over.

"How did that happen?" He asked looking around.

"Ha. Did you like it buck?" Chimney asked looking at the box.

"You!? You got me coal?" Buck asked confused.

"Well yeah." Chimney said earning a gasp from Maddie. so she didn't know then?

Athena offered an "excuse you" as Bobby looked skeptical of things.

"Not just that. So you didn't look at the bottom then. Huh?" Chimney asked coming over.

"Sure you can be a pain in the butt once in a while, so can all of us buddy. I only meant it as a joke. We wouldn't have you any other way. Merry Christmas Buck."

Buck rummaged under the coal bits to find a large black envelope with another white one inside.

"Tickets to a game?" Buck smiled.

"The team you keep talking about watching. The way you look while you talk about game night I knew it'd be a good gift." Chimney said smiling as Buck blushed.

"Uh. Thanks Chimney. It'll be cool going in person." With Eddie and Christopher he didn't say. "Sorry I thought it was just the coal."

"Nah. I wouldn't do that to my old roomie." Chimney shrugged.

"My gift was more so I could see those hidden skills you had as a bartender. Only this time you'd be drinking with us at your place instead of sneaking it on the clock. if you did that back then." Hen said taking another sip of her drink.

"Now I feel bad for Eddie." Bobby said looking at the team.

"Should I tell them?" Eddie asked looking at Buck.

"Chim I'm glad you got the tickets but the team I keep talking about is Eddie's favorite not mine." Buck laughed.

"Oh!" Chimney said thinking about it that made more sense than buck abandoning his old favorite. He was nothing if not loyal. "I was thinking of Maddie and the two of us but Christopher and you two could go." Chimney guessed as Maddie smiled at the turn of events.

"So someone did get Eddie a gift. Even if it was unintentional." Bobby noted while putting a hand on Eddie's shoulder.

"Chimney you're lucky that wasn't all you gave." Athena said coming over to bat at his arm.

"What'd I miss?" He asked rubbing his arm in fake hurt.

"She sort of threatened whoever gave buck coal but that was before we knew about the actual gift." Maddie explained.

As everyone was cleaning before leaving Eddie came over to Buck who was throwing trash into a garbage bag.

"Need some help?"

"No. Don't worry. You can head out Eds."

He was already grabbing what few drinks and dessert plates were around. It wasn't that much.

"I'm glad you didn't get left out." Buck said tying the bag off and putting it in a corner for a second.

"Well I look forward to seeing your sweet bartending skills. Might need to bring some more supplies for you to make on New Year's though." Eddie laughed while buck came to stare at him.

"So about the game. Uh. Has Christopher ever gone to one?" Buck rubbed the back of his neck.

"I think so. But this will be the first with his Buck. I'm sure he'll find it fun at least until near very end. We can leave early and get something for him." Eddie suggested.

"It's a date. I mean-" buck said.

"I don't want to wait till next year for a date if that's okay with you." Eddie pulled buck away from where the others still there could see.

"Uh. I'd be okay with doing anything as long as it's with you." Buck leaned in but stopped.

Eddie closed the distance between them to kiss buck so slow and soft, like he was trying to draw it out enjoying every second.

"Don't you gotta pick up Chris already?"

"Yeah. Wanna come over with me. I'm sure he'll love hearing about you going to a game with us next year."

"I wouldn't miss it for the world. Count me in." Buck said picking up the trash.

Eddie waited for buck to follow him downstairs.

Neither of them noticed the pair of eyes watching them hold hands as they went to go outside.

"About time." They said.

Buck was in Eddie's passenger seat now as they went to pick up Chris.

"I still don't get how I was in the hat twice."

Eddie laughed.

"Wait it was you?"

"I wrote your name instead of mine but when I saw a gift under my seat I thought someone fixed it. Turns out I still got a gift even if I already would have had what I wanted either way."

"You didn't have to do that."

"I wanted to. You deserve all the gifts you could want. Plus I've still got something up my sleeve."

"What's that?" Buck asked leaning to look Eddie in the eyes at a red light.

"You'll have to wait and find out." Eddie said smiling.

Ares- Favorite one movie would probably be Blackfish, its pretty sad from the orcas perspective and sea world can suck my fat ass

Armietes- I'm not good at staying up for it but right around 3-4 am

Asclepius- 100% ORCAS

Athena- Cetology (whales, dolphins, and porpoises)

Atlas- That sharks are the top predators in the ocean cause like, that's a lie. Orcas will fuck them up

Cerberus- Just a tiny tiny bit more of a cat person but I'm currently pretty biased as I have a kitten

Cronus- probably perogies, they're pretty tasty

Cyclops- jokes abt lack of gender cause ya know, I gotta great sense of humor

Dionysus- Uhhhhhhhh, strawberry milk as of current

Helios- night night night

Hephaestus- sketch animations, I rlly wish I had a drawing tablet

Hermes- yeah I do, I rlly wanna go on a road trip with a friend once i have my N, but i dont own a vehicle. And I rlly wanna travel to tofino

Medusa- I have 2 cats, one being a kitten. I used to have 4, but we hadta get rid of a mom and baby

Persephone- uhhhhhhhh, I dont rlly have a specific type that I know of, though I've never liked a person who has had blonde hair

Phobos- oh hell yes 100%, fear is totally rational and keeps us alive

Poseidon- kinda triggers a bit a dysphoria but yes I rlly love swimming and after top surgery its gonna be even better!!!!!

Prometheus- minor shapeshit abilities

Titans- honestly just couple years into the future, once I'm ok and a little more comfortable and stable within my life. though if I had to choose a different time period it would be ancient Greece I think cause fighting was huge and I was stab some people and everyone was hella respected

Zeus- Sunny so it's still warm with a little shower of rain

1, 2, 5, 12, 18, and 50? (´ω｀)？(sorry dude I'm really intrigued by ur ocs)

!!! don’t apologize!! i absolutely love talking about my ocs, i have so much fun with them!!!!

1. Your first OC ever?

ooooh...... uh she was a self insert oc, with a terrible beta name that quickly got changed to Athena Sukamoto. she started out with long purple hair with a green streak (and side bangs), black hair with purple streak, black with brown streak... i lived out my hair dying fantasies through her. also most of the time she was dressed like a ninja. she existed so i could make retconned comics between her and my favorite characters

i haven’t used her in years but occasionally i like to draw her for fun

2. Do you have a personal favourite among your OCs?

o’malley! for sure o’malley! i’ve had him for 7 or so years, and i love him, that dorky but sad and silly man. love my fake british trans son

5. If you could make only one of your OCs popular/known, who would it be?

even though o’malley’s my favorite, i’d absolutely LOVE to see teddy get popular. he’s ridiculous and fun and yet there’s so much potential for those super angsty interpretations of his past... but like. it really isn’t that deep to him.

this is a supernatural embodiment of greed that eats soap for fun and breaks into his best friend’s house just to sleep on top of him in the middle of the night

12. Name an OC that isn’t yours but who you like a lot

my friend tam has a real moody dude named Ko that i love. he’s the embodiment of an angry cat... raccoon... a fighty boy who likes to snark

18. Any OC crackships?

o’malley and teddy because they’re best friends and at times it looks like they’re romantic and it’d be hilarious if at some point they did start dating but it’d never ever happen, they’re just. super best friends.

also nathan and valta. i gotta draw those two more but valta’s this ginger angel who’s basically a tourist on earth for a few hundred, maybe a thousand years before he casts some judgement on some places (but he seems to be liking it so far so fingers crossed that there’s not much judging to be done!) and nathan is craig’s meaner, colder, twin brother who likes motorcycles and being a chef

50. Give me the good ol’ OC talk here. Talk about anything you want

i made a cast of dr ocs and planned to do a “game” plot for them but im way more invested in some than others...like, for example, the protag of the bunch, masa oshiro, i really LOVE her design and her attitude!! she’s like.. a goth lesbian who has a constant poker/binch face but she’s actually a happy and cheerful person behind her calm voice

and there’s one named mitsuru kawada who’s a beautician who has bangs coverin her eyes, and she’s a incessantly happy go lucky person, to the point of being a little creepy, but she’s also terrible at hiding her emotions... and my golden boy, korper, the token foreign student who’s a snake charmer, a tall narcoleptic who has a snake friend wrapped around him 24/7... like, those three characters i REALLY dig but it’s gonna take some work to flesh out the others rip :’>

You gotta work on that Aim - Jesse McCree

A/N: Kay. So. The argument with my muse went like this:

Me: So, the whole romance thing isn’t gonna work. Muse: Nope. Not the way we’re going with it. Me: So…. Muse: So? Me: What are you doing? Muse: Well, just because it doesn’t work in the main story, doesn’t mean I can’t have fun with it. Me: Is this why you’ve been making me research how to write smut…? *blush* Muse: Perhaps. Me: Oi….

Right. So - Um. This first one isn’t smutty, but there’s others down the way that will be. I cannot believe she’s making me do this…..

Muse: Shut up and post it, nerd! Me: *glares, then huffs* Right, you heard the lady.

I’m going to try to keep these as gender neutral as I can, not sure how much smut will be coming down the line but, whatever, guess I had to get the ‘romance bits’ out of my head.

Most of these came about from random writing prompts, so, I guess this is one way of getting around my god awful writers block.

The Premise of these shenanigans: You’re a recent new recruit of Overwatch. You watch over your ward, Yumi, as you go about your daily life around Gibraltar.

Even though you have your charge to keep you company, life can get lonely from time to time. And you notice, that you start to develop feelings for your squad mates. You think it’s a lost cause, so you keep your emotions to yourself.

You just don’t realize that everyone feels the same way about you….

First up, your first kiss with everyone’s favorite cowboy…

Word count: 1,328

Main Story | AO3

You hummed softly as you rotated your shoulder, then glanced down at your hand. Your new hand. You huffed a bit as you curled your fingers into a fist, then sighed a little. You wondered if you’d ever get used to how odd your prosthetic felt.

You mumbled softly to yourself as you heaved a sigh. “So much for sleeping…” Giving a shake of your head, you smiled down at Yumi, who was fast asleep next to you. You gently carded your fingers through her hair before slinking out of bed, and making your way out of your quarters, as silently as possible.

“Athena, please keep the door locked to my quarters till I get back.”

“As you wish Major, I will let you know if Yumi wakes.”

Giving off a pleased noise of confirmation, you made your way down the many halls towards the range. You had just recently been assigned your field gear, and you needed the practice. Perhaps shooting targets would clear your head so you could sleep. Rounding the corner to the range, your brow rose as you heard shots ring out, surprised anyone else was up this late.

Entering the room, you paused, a soft smile playing across your lips at the sound of the spinning cylinder of a revolver. Making your way over to your locker, you grasped your new rifle. Quietly, you made your way over to the targets that McCree was near, and stepped into a lane. Pulling back the slide, as you brought the gun to your shoulder, you aimed down the iron sights.

“Couldn’t sleep cowboy?”

He quietly reloaded his revolver, a bit of a smirk appearing in the corners of his mouth. “Appears you couldn’t neither.”

You shrugged your shoulders, gently squeezing the trigger on your rifle, giving off a soft surprised grunt at the sudden recoil. With a huff, you adjusted your stance, flexing your fingers on the handguard and took another shot only to have the recoil throw you off again.

He chuckled. “With you shootin’ like that, I don’t think we need enemies.”

You huffed softly. “Shut it.”

You closed your eye, took aim again, then frowned as you once more fought with the recoil. With a growl, you moved forward to the rest, gently bending at the waist to rest your elbows on the edge to support you and the rifle.

He laughed again softly. “Think you can hit the barn there, Major?”

With what you would consider an unattractive snort, you proceeded to decimate your targets, one after another. He gently reached up, using two fingers to push his hat back a little and whistled. With a huff, you stood back up, and once more took aim, grunting at the recoil. Growing increasingly frustrated, you lowered your rifle slightly, looking down at your prosthetic.

“Son of a—”

“Easy.” He placed his hand, on top of your rifle, causing you to lower the barrel.

With a sigh, you shrugged your shoulders lightly and huffed, blushing lightly at your frustration. “I’m pretty sure it’s the gun.” You smiled sheepishly.

He hummed. “Mind if I try?”

You shrugged again, flicking on the safety before passing him the rifle. “Be my guest.”

He gave you a rather roguish smirk before resting your rifle at his shoulder as you took a step back away from the lane. He hummed softly, and flicked off the safety. You crossed your arms, only to go wide eyed as he emptied your magazine into the dead center of the target. You frowned, glancing down at your prosthetic again, and huffed softly.

Moving a lane over you felt absolutely irritated at the fact that he had more control over that rifle then you did. “Show off.”

Drawing your side arm, you held it in your new hand, and squinted. Then with another soft huff, you took up a stance and proceeded to empty your pistols magazine into the target which gave McCree pause. His brow raised as he watched you, landing each shot almost dead center. With a flick of your wrist, you flicked on the safety, and rested your pistol on the rest. Your hands then rested on your hips as you huffed.

“Major…”

You blinked, heat rushing across your face as his breath tickled your ear. You hadn’t noticed that he had even moved close to you, causing you to give off a soft noise of surprise. You moved to turn around, only to feel him grasp your arm, holding you in place. You blinked back at him over your shoulder, a soft hum passing your lips as he stepped closer, his chest pressed gently against your back.

“Here,” He brought the rifle up between your arms, holding it out for you, and when you didn’t move, his hands did, making you gently grasp it, and hold it up to your shoulder. He pressed against you, forcing you to step forward into the lane, and aim at the target. “Now, if you can shoot your pistol like that, with your new arm, you can shoot your rifle too. You’re over compensating.”

You cleared your throat softly, your brow lifting slightly. “What do you mean?”

McCree pressed his chest firmly against your back, his chin almost resting on your shoulder as he had you take up your position. Keeping the butt of the rifle tight to your shoulder he positioned your hands around it, his fingers gently brushing against your arms.

“Now. I’ll help you this time, just slow down a little,” He almost purred into your ear, causing you to shiver, and you swore you could feel him grin as you swallowed audibly. With a huff, you closed your eye to aim down the rifles sights again, as his warm fingers once more, petted along your arm up to your shoulder. “Your arm is part of you. You don’t have to over compensate. That’s why you’re a lucky shot with your pistol, you’re forcing your rifle to move away from you.”

He gently placed his prosthetic hand over your new arm, and gently curled his fingers against it. “Just breathe, and shoot like you did with your pistol, Major.”

You took a deep breath, letting it out your nose slowly as you took aim, and pulled the trigger. This time, you hit your mark! A broad grin played across your features as you continued to fire, till your magazine was empty.

“Holy shi—Ow!” You winced and set your rifle down on the rest, before turning about to face him, your hand covering your mouth.

“What’s wrong?” He blinked, looking concerned.

You started to laugh, your hand lowering slowly from your face. “I bit my lip…” You hummed softly as your tongue darted out to lick your lower lip, wincing again slightly at the taste of copper on your tongue.

McCree huffed softly, and grinned at you, “Clumsy.” and with a chuckle he lifted his biological hand up and forward to gently grasp the back of your neck, pulling you towards him. Your eyes went wide, as his lips covered your own in smothering kiss.

Your hand instinctively when upwards to grasp at his serape, fingers curling into the fabric as you let your eyes slowly flutter close. A soft purring moan seemed to rumble from his chest as he drew back just enough to let the tip of his tongue play across your lower lip, causing you to shiver. When he drew back completely, he chuckled softly at your bewildered and flushed face, his hand moving from the back of your neck, to gently pet his thumb against your lower lip. He tilted his head slightly to the side, as you gave off a soft, almost content sigh, which caused him to grin.

“Better?”

“I-I um…Maybe?”

“Maybe? Well darlin, I guess that means I still need to kiss it better…” He chuckled softly as you seemed to flush right up to your ears, as he leaned in to press his lips gently to yours once again.
