idk if this is a good prompt but put doomguy in myhouse.wad I think he would find it enriching
Right, so I've been mulling on this one for a little bit now, n I'm not opposed to writing something for you, I'm just not... entirely sure what to write? Because the thing is, myhouse.wad doesn't actually really have anything to do with Doom as a story. Sure, Doom is important in that it's the vessel through which the story is told and one of the connections between the narrator and his dead companion. But as far as Doom itself goes, and the story about a man who was too angry/stupid to die, fighting demons and saving earth, none of that is at all relevant to myhouse.wad and its story. For all intents and purposes, Doomguy isn't actually a character in myhouse.wad. So I'm not really sure how exactly to fit him in there.
#pikspeak#bc like. ok so if u say write dg as if he is actually the character in myhouse.wad#then the problem is that theres a pretty huge meta element to myhouse.wad and having some of the outside context- even just the context tha#its supposed to be the creator's dead friend's childhood home- is important. youre not MEANT to 'immerse' yourself in it or pretend you are#the protag. part of the impact comes from knowing youre just an observer and this is just a videogame on your computer.#writing dg as a character inside myhouse.wad would rob it of a lot of context and therefore impactfulness. hed just be walking around an#old house looking at things that have no meaning to him.#so ok then not dg as the protag of myhouse.wad but what about just like.. him in the funky liminal space of myhouse.wad? the non-euclidean#reality breaking shifting house of leaves place of myhouse.wad? i *could* do something like that if thats what youre looking for#but then considering this is the character whose reaction to finding himself in literal hell was to go 'hey??? this is stupid???? anyway im#gonna kill everything here' he probably wouldnt be too exceptionally ruffled by finding himself in a sorta funky reality breaking space.#hed probably still just go 'oh weird. funky. anyway back to killing demons.' and that would be it. which yeah i CAN write if its what u wan#it just. yknow. doesnt quite seem like the right tone? just kinda flat by comparison#i have considered doing things in the right tone before. since it is also canon that on his way back to hell dg has to run through the#burned out ruins of his own hometown. something similar to the visiting an old place thats been twisted by time and grief and coming to#terms with its loss or something to that effect#but. if im being honest i dont know that i have the writing skill to pull that off well much less as a short fic for a prompt response#uhhh anyway where was i going with this.#im happy to write something for you; possibly even something myhouse.wad related if you want!! im just not sure how to do that hdfbhdj...#anyway sorry for letting this one sit for so long without an answer. have another fic prompt where the fic is getting a little longer than#anticipated n combining that with rotating this to try n figure out what i could write for it...#guess time got away from me a little bit. sorry about that!

CONGRATS ON 10 FOLLOWERS!!! u thought wrong bc i was starving for dgs x reader FOR YEARS and u have fed me.
um umm this is gonna a bit ďark(?) so it's ok if u don't want to write this 👉👈 how would herlock react and help to his assistant that actually gets anxious easily and tries to hide it? like people yelling and certain environments that remind him of school could trigger his anxiety? tY!! - dadlock anon
a/n: feeding all of my lil ducklings (my 11 followers) with so much food right now it's amazing. and yes ! i'll be able to write this one, using my own experiences of course. if there's anything wrong here please don't hesitate to tell me !
anxiety //
sherlock with his assistant (he / him) who has anxiety
sherlock is kind of oblivious at times, but in my eyes he sees family and everyone he loves first and everything else second. so he pays extra attention to whatever is happening in his family to make sure everything is okay.
he can read faces, body language and tones very well so it's near impossible to hide whatever your emotion is from him. the same goes to iris since she's just as deductive as sherlock.
sherlock worries for you while you're both on the job even if you've proved yourself useful and he can see it, but he can't help but be a heartfelt guy and think about your safety.
he always warns you (even before knowing you have anxiety) about some stuff like there's some sensitive things in a certain investigation. he's just used to it.
"there's a body in that house there that's butchered and in critical condition so fair warning, it is gruesome. are you sure you want to come inside and investigate ?"
it's honestly really sweet of him that he's always making sure you're safe. you're so dear to him that he'd go insane if something bad happened to you.
one mission you're investigating an empty apartment with the main culprit nowhere to be seen. sherlock could sense the person was in the apartment and was searching everywhere for them with you.
the place was bare, a couple bits of loose paperwork scattered on the cold, hard and bloodied floor where the victim lay. it was already creeping you out a little bit, but with sherlock asking if you needed a minute to yourself, you decided that you'd investigate with every fiber in your body like herlock.
soon enough the whole place was checked, minus the attic which was well hidden in the back area of the apartment. sherlock ushered you over saying that he might have found something and with tip toes, you walked to his side, hiding behind him because damn was he tall.
"haha, it's okay ! this'll only be a quick arrest so we can go home in a jiffy afterwards !" sherlock said as he ruffled your hair.
you nodded and let him pull the attic door down ever so gently..
but halfway through pulling it down, the supposed criminal busted down the stairs, running out of the apartment as he slammed the stairs down onto the floor.
this scared you, immensely so. you fell back onto the floor with some papers underneath you, yelling out in fright as the culprit ran away.
sherlock was about to go bolt for the criminal, knowing exactly where they were going, but as soon as he heard you scream out in fear he rushed over and kneeled down beside you to check if you're okay.
needless to say you're not okay, panting with your eyes darting back and forth, tears threatening to fall out of your eyes.
"th-the criminal !! they're-they're getting away, herlock ! oh god.."
sherlock nods, he's instead keeping his calm and collected temper and asking if you're alright. he sounded like a worried mother behind the calmness he built around him.
you shiver, it's hard to give him an answer. stuttering and your current state made it hard to express your feelings but sherlock knew what you were feeling.
he hugged you firmly, letting you melt into his grasp and cry as much as you needed to. he's not going to just you for feeling anxious and frightened.
he gently scoops you up and brings you outside where it doesn't reek of blood. he knows that the yard is already on the criminal's case and probably has arrested them already so there was no need to rush.
he gently put you down and propped you against a wall. he's surprisingly good at dealing with upset or frightened people. he's glad that your situation is similar to one iris had a little while ago.
he continues to hug you gently until your sobs slow and turn into hiccups, then he asks if you're alright and need anything.
he may not have much, only a half empty water bottle and a couple caramel bars but he's willing to share if it'll help you feel happy.
giving you some water and caramel bars, he rubs your shoulder, sitting beside you and keeping you company as your anxiety sizzles down.
you tell him that you have anxiety and get anxious at loud noises and he understands, promising to protect you more whenever you encounter something loud and sudden again.
he tells you that you're incredibly strong for telling him, although he does feel bad that he didn't protect you more back there, but now that he knows that you have anxiety he'll double make sure you're safe with him and protected. you are his assistant after all and he is still like a mentor to you.
he sits with you for as long as you like. he talks about anything and everything to get your mind off of what just happened, he wants you to be happy !!

Friend: i just need to give up and accept the fact that everyone hates kankri Friend: and i am the only smart person in the whole world :cry emoji (zan’s note: to indicated both light emotional melancholy but primarily as a tone indicator of semi-sarcasm): Friend: erugvwilarghvaleb Friend: no wonder i like zebruh (ZAN’S NOTE: MY BUDDY HERE LIKES ZEBRUH AS A FUNNY ASSHOLE DOUCHEBAG WHO SUCKS NOT LIKE.
