Ooo hi! Can I please request an (everyone lives au + Endgame never happened au) Avenger!Bucky X wife!reader where they got married right before Bucky went off to war, and when Bucky fell off that train (and she thought he had died), she didnât even get the time to mourn because Hydra abducted her and brought her to where they were holding Bucky so that they would have leverage against him. They keep her under cryo the entire time Bucky was the Winner Soldier, so that alongside brainwashing him, they threatened his wife if he stepped out of line. Now present day, Bucky has joined the Avengers and they manage to find and recuse Y/n from Hydra after so long.
Ugh imagine how emotional itâd be for Bucky and Steve to see her again, and the team would make her feel safe and at home! And Bucky would be there every step of the way helping her adjust to one, being out of cryo after almost a century, and two, being in the 21st century!

1943
âWe just got married a couple days ago. Do you have to leave so soon?â You asked with a pout.
âI know and Iâm sorry.â Bucky whispers. âLook at the bright side, Iâll be home before you know it.â He says, kissing you sweetly and passionately.
âââ
1945
âBucky died?â You asked, making sure you heard Steve right.
âYes.â Steve answers. âI tried reaching for him, but the handle he was holding on to gave out before I could get to him and he fell off of the train.â He explains.
That whole day, you tried to process the death of your husband. âBucky is never coming home.â is the only thing being echoed in your head. That night, you laid in bed, staring at Buckyâs side of the bed with tears stained on your cheeks. Before you could even react, a hand with a white cloth was put on your mouth. You tried your best to fight off whoever was behind you, but you grew weak the more you inhaled the chloroform and you soon passed out.
SIBERIA - HYDRA BASE
Your eyes fluttered open. You groaned, squinting your eyes to adjust to the light. You looked around the room, furrowing your eyebrows in confusion. This isnât yours and Buckyâs house. It was some kind of lab.
âWhat the hellâŠâ You mumbled to yourself.
You went to stand up, but couldnât. Your arms and legs were strapped to the chair you were sitting in. You yanked at the restrains to get loose, but it was no use. The restraints were too tight for you to get free. You jumped at the sound of the door opening. You looked up, seeing a man in a suit and another man in a white lab coat.
âGood to see you awake, Mrs. Barnes.â The man in the suit says.
âWhere am I? Who are you?â You asked.
âMy name is Arnim Zola and youâre in HYDRAâs base in Siberia.â Zola tells you. âYou are our newest addition. Youâre going to help out perfectly with our Winter Soldier program.â He explains. âĐĐ°ĐčŃĐ” Đ”Đč ŃŃĐČĐŸŃĐŸŃĐșŃ.â He tells the man in the lab coat.
The man in the lab coat approached you with an IV that had some kind of suspicious liquid in it. You began to panic. You yanked at the restrains to get free, but it still didnât work.
âThis might burn.â The man in the lab coat said with a Russian accent.
You yelped when the needle pricked your skin. Thats when the pain and trauma began.
âââ
âGet the woman.â Zola says to an HYDRA agent.
The HYDRA agent nodded and went to the cell they kept you in. You jumped at the sound of the door opening. You scooted back as far as you could on the bed. The agent approached you, grabbing your arm with a bruising grip and yanked you up from the bed. He put handcuffs on you so you didnât try to do anything. He held onto the chain of the handcuffs and lead you to where the lab. There was a man with a metal arm and long hair sitting in a chair. Heâs the Winter Soldier.
There was something about the long haired man that looked familiar. His eye color, hair color, height, and facial structure was the same as your dead husbandâs. Thatâs when it hit you. You gasped with wide eyes. The Winter Soldier is your husband Bucky.
âBucky!â You say loudly.
The Winter Soldier furrowed his eyebrows as he stared at you.
âBucky, itâs me Y/N. Your doll.â You tell him.
âY/N⊠dollâŠâ The Winter Soldier mumbles to himself.
His eyes widened. The woman in front of him is his wife.
âOh my godâŠâ He mumbles completely speechless. âY/N!â Bucky says.
You smiled, happy to hear him say your name. Bucky went to stand up, but two HYDRA agents pushed him back in the chair. You tried to run towards him, but you were yanked backwards causing you to fall down.
âHereâs whatâs going to happenâŠâ Zola began, standing in between you and Bucky. âSoldat, I see you recognize your pretty little wife.â He said. âSheâs going to be perfect leverage against you. If you overstep in any way, your wife gets it.â He explains. âMeaning, youâll witness your wife get beaten right in front of you if you donât do as we say.â He adds. âIâm sure you donât want anything to happen to your wife.â He says.
Zola cleared his throat at the HYDRA agent standing behind you. He nodded and yanked you up from the floor. He then put a gun to the back of your head. Tears were streaming down your face at this point and your heart was pounding so hard that you thought it was going to burst through your chest. Buckyâs eyes widened in horror and his heart began to pound in fear.
âDo you understand, Soldat?â Zola asks.
Bucky didnât answer. He continued to stare at you. Thatâs when he got smacked across his face by a HYDRA agent standing next to him.
âLeave my husband alone!â You shouted.
Your breath hitched in your throat when you heard the gun cock. You honestly thought you were going to die right then and there.
âDo you understand?â Zola repeats. âIâm sure you donât want anything to happen to your precious doll.â He says.
âYes, I understand.â Bucky finally answers.
âGood.â Zola said. âWipe his memory and youâre going to watch as your husband forgets every single memory he has of you.â He says, turning to you before walking away.
You watched as one HYDRA agent pushed Bucky back in the chair and strapped his arms down to the arms of the chair. Another one put a mouth guard in his mouth and something on his head. The first HYDRA agent pushed buttons on a machine to turn it on. Thatâs when they began to wipe Buckyâs memory. The screams of pain coming from your husband broke your heart. You wanted it to stop.
âStop it!â You screamed. âYouâre hurting him!â You screamed again.
A yelp left your lips when the HYDRA agent standing behind you hit you with the handle of the gun, knocking you out. Blood trickle down your forehead from the gash the gun handle gave you.
âTake her to the cryogenic chamber and freeze her.â Zola tells the HYDRA agent.
The HYDRA agent nodded and drug you to the room where the cryogenic chambers are. You got out in one and they froze you in it like the other Super Soldiers. They wrote your name down on a label and stuck it to the chamber youâre in.
PRESENT DAY - AVENGERS COMPOUND
Now that Bucky has escaped HYDRA. He managed to find Steve and reunite with him. He also joined the Avengers. Bucky was beyond relieved that he doesnât have to endure anymore torture from HYDRA. One thing does bother him⊠leaving you behind. He didnât intentionally leave you behind. He wanted to find Steve and come up with a plan to rescue you. Bucky gets little to no sleep, knowing youâre still at that HYDRA base in Siberia.
Bucky managed to escape all of the HYDRA agents and ran out of the base into the cold. He came to a stop a few feet from the entrance and turned around, staring at the open doors.
âIâm so sorry, my sweet doll. I promise Iâll come back to rescue you.â Bucky says to himself, a single tear rolling down his cheek.
Bucky was tossing and turning in his sleep due to the nightmare. He was mumbling âIâm sorry, doll.âand âIâll come back for you.â in his sleep, a thin layer of sweat covering his face. Due to Steveâs enhanced hearing and his room being next to Buckyâs room, he went to check on his best friend. Steve opened Buckyâs bedroom door, closing it behind him. He approached Buckyâs bed and gently shook him awake.
âBuck, wake up. Youâre having a nightmare.â Steve murmurs softly.
âY/N!â Bucky gasps loudly, sitting up quickly.
Steve took a couple steps back, giving Bucky some space. He turned on the light. Bucky squinted his eyes to adjust to the light. He was breathing heavily. Sweat and tears covered his face.
âYou had that nightmare again didnât you?â Steve says.
Bucky exhales shakily and nods his head yes. He leaned his back against the headboard, rubbing his hands over his face and running his fingers through his long brown hair. Buckyâs eyes were red from crying. Steve sat down on the side of the bed next to Bucky.
âWeâll rescue her. I promise.â Steve says, putting a comforting hand on Buckyâs shoulder.
Bucky gave him a soft smile. Later on that morning, Bucky, Steve, and the Avengers were in the conference room discussing the plan Bucky came up with to rescue you from the HYDRA base in Siberia.
âCan I say something?â Tony asks.
âYes.â Bucky says.
âWhen we do go to the base to rescue your wife, what if sheâs not there?â He asks.
âSheâs there. I know sheâs there. I seen her.â He claims. âIâm not giving up hope on my wife. I need to rescue her. I made a promise.â He says.
Tears brimmed Buckyâs eyes. Steve stood up from his chair, gently ushering Bucky out of the conference room and took him to the lounge room.
âYou need to take a break.â Steve tells Bucky.
âI canât, Steve! Y/N needs my help!â Bucky exclaims.
âI know you want to help her. I want to help her to. You canât help her if you down take a breath.â He says.
Bucky knows Steveâs right. He sat down on the couch, breaking down in tears. It broke Steveâs heart to see his best friend so brokenhearted. He sat down next to him and comforted him the best he could.
âI miss her.â Bucky cries, his voice cracking.
âI do too.â Steve whispers.
Buckyâs crying died down after a few minutes. He sniffled and wiped his tears away with the sleeves of his sweatshirt. He then took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself.
âIâm in charge for this rescue mission.â Bucky says.
âYou should be. Itâs your plan and your wife.â Steve says.
The next day, Bucky, Steve, and the Avengers suited up and got in the quinjet, making their way to the HYDRA base youâre being kept at. Bucky couldnât stay still the whole flight. He was pacing back and forth in the quinjet and tugging at his hair.
âIâm on my way, doll.â Bucky kept repeating to himself.
Steve approached Bucky, standing a few feet away from.
âBuck?â Steve catches Buckyâs attention. âWeâre about 15 minutes out from the base.â He informs him.
Bucky nodded and went to the weapons area of the quinjet, loading his gun and putting it in the holster on his tactical pants, along with his knife. Steve got his shield and put it on his back. Everyone else got their weapons ready as well.
When they arrived at the base, everyone got off of the quinjet and walked to the base. Bucky stopped a few feet away from the entrance, staring at the door. His breathing became uneven.
âEverythingâs going to be fine, Buck. You got this.â Steve says, patting Buckyâs back.
Bucky took a deep breath before approaching the door. He broke the lock off with his metal hand and opened it with Steveâs help. Everyone entered the base. Everyone split up into twos, going to the areas of the base they were assigned. Bucky is with Steve, Sam is with Wanda, Tony is with Bruce, Clint is with Natasha, and Peter is with Thor.
âDo you know where she is in here?â Steve whispers.
âNo, but I heard them talking about it many times.â Bucky answers. âIf sheâs not in any of the cells, then sheâs somewhere else in here.â He says.
Bucky and Steve checked the cell you were in before you got put in the cryogenic chamber. The door had a label with your name on it. Buckyâs breath hitched in his throat when he seen it. He then kicked the door down. Him and Steve entered the cell, looking everywhere in there, but you were in there.
âSheâs not in here, Buck.â Steve says.
âSheâs not in the med bay.â Natasha informs through the ear pieces.
âSheâs not in any of the storage rooms.â Peter informs.
âSheâs not in the labs.â Sam informs.
âSheâs not in the weapons room.â Tony informs.
Buckyâs eyes teared up and he crouched down, putting his face in his hands.
âBuckâŠâ Steve murmurs softly.
âN-No! Sheâs here somewhere! I know it!â Bucky says.
While Bucky was having his moment and trying to figure out where else you could be in the base, a HYDRA agent was walking by and seen the door broken down to the cell.
âWhat are you guys doing here?â The HYDRA agent asks, putting his hand on his gun.
Bucky stood up and approached him, knocking the gun out of his hand and slammed the agent against the wall.
âWhere the hell is my wife?!â Bucky growls.
âCare to be more specific?â The HYDRA agent says.
âY/N Barnes. Where is she?â He asks.
âOh, her?â The agent chuckles. âWhy would I tell you that?â He says.
Bucky took his gun out of his hostler and shot the HYDRA agent in his foot. The agent cried out in pain.
âTell me where my wife is!â Bucky growls, putting the gun against the side of the agents head.
âSheâs in the cryogenic chamber room.â He finally tells him.
Bucky threw the HYDRA agent to the floor and ran to the cryogenic chamber room with Steve following closely behind him.
âWhich chamber is Y/N in?â Steve asks, looking at all of the cryos.
âThis one.â Bucky says, walking to the one with your name on it.
Bucky looked inside of the cryo. He felt relieved when he seen you. He just needs to figure out how to get you out of it.
âThereâs a button or something that opens it.â Bucky says.
Bucky and Steve looked everywhere for the button, finding it on the side of the cryo. He pushed it and it opened slowly.
âHelp me get here out of this.â Bucky says.
Steve helped Bucky unstrap you from the cryo. Bucky gently eased you out of it, holding you against his body. He checked for your pulse. Bucky felt even more relieved when he felt it. He picked you up bridal style and carried you to the quinjet.
âWe found her. Go back to the quinjet.â Steve informs everyone.
The flight back to the compound, Bucky held you close to him and whispered âYouâre safe now.â over and over to you. Steve, on the other hand, was in shock. He canât believe youâre alive. What he does know is that heâs happy to see you and heâs glad youâre ok.
When everyone got back to the compound, Bucky immediately took you to the med bay and got you checked out. The doctors told Bucky everything is fine with you and youâll wake up soon. Bucky didnât leave your side for a second and neither did Steve.
âWhat did they do to her?â Steve asks.
âThey abducted her after they got their hands on me and put the serum in her.â Bucky tells him. âThey also used her as leverage against me.â He adds.
âLeverage? What do you mean they used her as leverage against you?â Steve asks.
âThey ummâŠâ Bucky paused to clear his throat and closed his eyes for a moment, remembering that day quite well.
âIâm sure you donât anything to happen to your wife.â Zolaâs words echoed in Buckyâs mind.
âIf I didnât do what they wanted, they were going to beat her.â He finally says.
âOh my god. Thatâs horrible.â Steve says.
Steve looks at you with a soft expression on his face. He furrowed when he seen a scar on your forehead.
âHow did she get this scar?â Steve asks, gently tracing the small length of the scar with his thumb.
âShe told them to leave me alone and to stop hurting me so a HYDRA agent knocked her out with a handle of a gun when they were wiping my memory.â Bucky tells him.
âOh my god.â Steve whispers.
Bucky winces at the memory of it, squeezing his eyes shut and tears spilling from his eyes.
âThis is all my fault.â Bucky whispers, his voice cracking.
âThis is not your fault, Buck. You couldnât have known HYDRA was gonna get their hands on Y/N after you fell off the train.â Steve says.
âI couldâve done something.â He says.
âYou did do something. You went back to rescue her.â He says softly.
You heard two voices as you started to come to your senses. You stirred a bit before opening your eyes, squinting them to adjust to the light in the room.
âBuck, sheâs awake.â Steve says.
Bucky looked at you and almost jumped out of his chair to lean closer to you.
âY/N, doll, can you hear me?â Bucky asks softly.
You thought you were hallucinating at first when you heard your husbandâs voice. You turned your head towards the sound of your husbandâs voice. You werenât hallucinating. Your husband is sitting by your bedside.
âJ-James?â You asked hoarsely.
âYes, doll. Itâs James.â Bucky confirms.
âI-I missed you.â You murmured, your voice cracking.
âI missed you too, babydoll.â He says softly.
Bucky reached a hand up to your cheek, gently caressing it. Steve couldnât help but let a couple tears spill from his eyes at the sight of his two best friends being reunited with each other.
âSteve is here too.â Bucky points at Steve.
âStevie?â You asked, turning your head towards him.
âHi, Y/N.â Steve says softly.
You reached a hand out towards him. Steve put his hand in yours, smiling at you.
âI missed you.â You whispered.
âI missed you too.â He whispers back.
You furrowed your eyebrows in confusion, confused about where you are. Itâs not the HYDRA base. This place is so much nicer than the HYDRA base.
âWhere- Where am I?â You asked, looking from Steve to your husband.
âYouâre in the med bay in the Avengers compound.â Bucky tells you.
âAvengers?â You asked.
âTheyâre the heroâs who helped me rescue you. Steve helped too.â He says.
Your eyes teased up when Bucky said him, Steve, and the Avengers rescued you.
âYou came back for me?â You asked in a whisper.
âOf course I did, doll. I will never leave you behind. Never again. I promise.â He says softly.
As you adjust to lift in the 21st century with your husband, you thought it would be difficult, but it wasnât. Bucky and Steve helped you adjust to the 21st century, along with the Avengers. Everyone has been so very helpful to you, especially Bucky. Wanda and Natasha gave you clothes that belong to them for you to wear. You quickly became friends with the Avengers. It also took you a while to get used to living in the Avengers compound.
You were tossing and turning in your sleep. You were having a reoccurring nightmare from what you witnessed in HYDRA.
âStop it! Youâre hurting him!â echoed in your mind.
Bucky felt you moving and mumbling next to him. He turned on the bedside lamp and turned to face you. Your eyebrows were furrowed and a sweating a little bit.
âDoll?â Bucky whispers, gently shaking you. âDoll?â He whispers again. âDoll, wake up. Youâre having a nightmare.â He whispers.
You gasped loudly and sat up, breathing heavily and tried to gather your surroundings. You looked around the room, quickly realizing that youâre in Buckyâs bedroom in the Avengers compound, not the HYDRA base. Bucky put a hand on your back, rubbing in circles. You leaned into his touch.
âYouâre ok now. Youâre safe.â Bucky whispers.
You took a deep breath and nodded, closing your eyes.
âIâm going to get you something to drink, ok?â He says softly.
You quickly grabbed Buckyâs arms before he stood up, holding it with a tight grip.
âIâll be right back. I promise.â He coos in a whisper.
You whimpered, staring in his blue eyes with your teary eyes. It broke Buckyâs heart to see you like this. He leaned towards you, kissing your forehead.
âDo you want to go to the kitchen with me?â He asks.
You nodded your head yes. Bucky stood up, holding his right hand out to you. You put your hand in his and stood up. Bucky led you to the kitchen, holding your hand the whole time. He set you up at the table and got you something to drink. Steve walked in the kitchen for something to drink a moment later, seeing you and Bucky in there.
âYou two are up late.â Steve breaks the silence in the kitchen.
You stood up from the table and went over to Steve, hugging him tightly. Steve immediately hugged you back.
âWhatâs going on? Are you ok?â He asks.
You shook your head no. Steve looked at Bucky.
âShe had a nightmare.â Bucky tells him.
Steve sat you back at the table before taking a seat next to you. Bucky sat in the chair on the other side of you. He put a glass of water in front of you. You tapped your fingers against the glass, staring at the water in the cup.
âDo you want to tell us what the nightmare was about?â Bucky asks softly.
âItâs always the same nightmare.â You mumbled. âHYDRA hurting you.â You say, tearing up.
âOh, dollâŠâ He whispers, pulling you close to him, kissing the side of your head. âThey canât hurt us anymore.â He murmurs.
Steve put a comforting hand on your shoulder. You turned your head towards Steve, laying your head against Buckyâs chest.
âI canât imagine what you two went through, but none of that shouldâve happened to you guys.â Steve says sympathetically.
You gave Steve a soft smile. You turned to Bucky, leaning up to kiss his lips softly. You then reached a hand out to hold Steveâs hand.
âI love you guys.â You say softly.
âWe love you too.â They say in unison.
âYou love me more, right?â Bucky jokingly says, making you giggle.
It warmed Buckyâs heart to hear you giggle. It warmed Steveâs heart too. It made both Super Soldiers smile.
âYou know I do, sweetie.â You smiled up at your husband.

OT13 reacting to their s/o who loves smiles but feels insecure about showing their teeth
Request: Halooo I am the same anon that req wisdom tooth drabble!!! So can I req for svt ot13 s/o that love smile but never showed their teeth cause they're insecure with it?? I do have an open bite and I do be jealous w ppl that can smile with their normal teeth đ„Čđ„Č Also can I be ur âïž anon??
A/N: This is dedicated to all kinds of smilesâbig, small, toothy, closed, crooked, or perfectly aligned. Itâs easy to compare ourselves to others, especially when society has such rigid standards for something as personal as a smile. But the truth is, the world isnât looking for perfect smiles; itâs looking for your smileâthe one that lights up the people around you, the one that reflects your joy, and the one that makes you you. Whether youâre someone who shows off their teeth confidently or someone who keeps their smiles shy, you are absolutely radiant just the way you are. I hope this reaction brings you warmth, and maybe even a little courage to embrace your smile, because SEVENTEEN and I think itâs the best one there is. Thank you for reading, and remember: your smile is a gift, not just to you but to everyone lucky enough to see it! đ
I definitely encourage you to read everyone's part, especially Minghao's.
Seungcheol: Cheol would notice right away how you always smile with your lips closed. Heâd encourage you without pushing too hard, so youâd catch him saying things like, âI love it when you smileâitâs my favorite thing about you.â And when you explain why youâre self-conscious, his protective mode kicks in. In his mind, youâre perfect exactly as you are. Heâd make a habit of kissing your forehead after every smile, as if to say, Thank you for sharing this with me. Warm, comforting, and always your biggest cheerleader.
Jeonghan: Jeonghan is a teaseâbut in the sweetest way possible. Heâd catch you hiding your teeth and tease you playfully about how even your shy smile could start a fan club. But deep down, heâd be the FIRST to remind you that nobodyâs smile is âwrongâ. Heâd even come up with ridiculous scenarios like, âIf anyone says anything about your teeth, Iâll report them to Smile Security.â Sure, itâs dramatic, but somehow itâs comforting. With him, youâd slowly start to see your smile through his eyes: bright, genuine, and absolutely worth showing off.
Joshua: Shuaâs the âpatient and reassuringâ type. Heâd never rush you into anything but would always make it known how much he loves your smileâwhether or not it shows your teeth. Heâd probably sit with you one evening and casually mention how he used to be insecure about something too, just to remind you that everyone has their struggles. The way heâd look at you every time you smiled? Pure love and admiration. Slowly but surely, youâd start feeling like, Maybe my smile isnât so bad after all.
Jun: Junhui wouldnât even let you finish explaining your insecurity before heâd start showering you with compliments. Heâd be so sweet and genuine about it too, like, âWhat? But your smile is so pretty! Have you seen yourself?â Heâd probably find little ways to make you smile more, through goofy antics or heartfelt gestures. The best part? Heâd never let you feel like you had to changeâhe loves your smile, whether itâs teeth-showing or not. And his genuine enthusiasm? Itâs impossible not to feel a little brighter around him.
Hoshi: Hoshi would make it his personal mission to see your biggest, toothiest smile. Heâs dramatic like that. He'd do the silliest things to make you laugh, like impersonating the other members or dancing in the weirdest ways (mind you he's performance team leader TT). When you finally let out a full smile, heâd stop mid-act and just stare. âWow. Thatâs the one. Thatâs the smile that could light up a stadium.â And youâd know heâs not exaggerating (even though heâs Hoshi and exaggerates everything). Itâs just how he lovesâwith his whole heart. I'm feeling soft :(
Wonwoo: Heâd notice your insecurities but wouldnât bring them up directly. Instead, would focus on making you comfortable and appreciated. Heâd probably start complimenting you in subtle ways, like, âYour smile is really nice,â or âYou look happiest when you smile.â Over time, his steady reassurance would make you feel less self-conscious. And when you finally smile without holding back, heâd just give you that soft, proud look, as if to say, See? I knew it was beautiful.
Woozi: Woozi would be a mix of logical and sweet about it. Heâd listen to your reasons and then quietly debunk every single one of them, like, âWho said teeth have to be perfect to make a smile beautiful? Thatâs nonsense.â Heâd focus more on how your smile makes him feelâhappy, loved, and lucky to know you. And if you ever caught him sneaking a photo of you smiling? Just know itâs because he wants to remember how happy you looked in that moment.
Dokyeom: Oh boy, Seokmin would be all over this. He lives for smiles, especially yours. Heâd probably start a whole campaign to make you feel better about it, complete with compliments, funny jokes, and random bursts of Look at that gorgeous smile! energy. Youâd have no choice but to smile around him because heâs just that infectious. And when you finally let out a toothy grin, heâd gasp like, âI KNEW IT! YOU HAVE THE BEST SMILE IN THE WORLD!â Dramatic? Yes. Effective? Absolutely.
Mingyu: Kim Mingyu, the man he is, would be the type to go above and beyond to make you feel good about your smile. Heâd start by complimenting you constantly and taking candid photos where you look natural and happy. Then, heâd show them to you like, âLook at thisâyour smile could cure my bad days.â Heâd probably even bring it up to the members like, âIsnât her smile the best thing ever?â And when you roll your eyes at him, heâd just grin and say, âSee? Even your eyeroll smile is perfect.â AHHGHTCGTCGCFFCCT
Minghao: Hao would be supportive and no-nonsense. Heâd listen to your insecurities, acknowledge your feelings, and then remind you that nobodyâs perfect. âImperfections make us human,â heâd say, and it would somehow hit deeper than you expected. Heâd probably encourage you to focus on how your smile feels rather than how it looks, and over time, his grounded perspective would help you see your smile in a whole new light. With him (with others too), youâd start to appreciate the beauty in being uniquely you.
Seungkwan: Seungkwan would be the loudest advocate for your smile. âAre you kidding me!â Heâd probably start hyping you up every time you smiled, to the point where it becomes impossible not to feel confident about it. And if anyone dared to say something negative about your teeth? Oh, heâd drag them to filth, no hesitation I'm telling you. With Seungkwan in your corner, youâd never have to doubt your smile again.
Vernon: He would be ridiculously sweet. Heâd casually drop comments like, âYour smileâs cool,â and then act like itâs no big dealâwhen really, heâs melting inside every time he sees it. Heâd never pressure you to show your teeth but would secretly be over the moon whenever you did. And the way heâd look at you in those moments? Pure adoration. Honestly, heâd make you feel like the coolest person in the world, open bite or not.
Dino: Chan would be all about boosting your confidence. Heâd give you a pep talk about how unique smiles are the best smiles and how yours is his favorite thing about you. Heâd hype you up so much that youâd almost feel like a celebrity. And when you finally smiled without holding back, heâd act like itâs the greatest thing heâs ever seen. âThatâs it! Thatâs the smile that could rules my heart!â Thatâs just how much he cares.

girl are you taking requests cause that last fic HOLYYYYY
ate so hard
if you are can i request semi x gf reader fluff&smut alphabet? (in a normal au, not squid games)
†nsfw alphabet.
implied: nsfw pairing: se-mi / player 380 x fem!reader word count: 1.3k note: heeeyyyy, yeah i'm taking reqss mainly for our girlies. alsoo here it iss, i'm not sure if this is exactly what u asked for, but i hope u enjoy it regardless<3 (i spent a whole day brainstorming, and i also did not proof read)
A = Aftercare (what theyâre like after sex)
sheâs extremely caring when it comes to aftercare with you, a stark contrast too. sheâll usually bring you a bottle of water, maybe a snack and a lot of cuddles, äž iâll say that she sometimes wants to continue, but if you donât, she wonât push it but if she doesnât want to, you wonât push her either. maybe shower sex if youâre still in the mood and if you just wanna wash up, sheâs okay with that too.
usually se-mi lets you have all the water to yourself but you frown at her way of thinking so the times she brings you a bottle of water and when you finish your turn of drinking, you press the sealing surface against her lips. this action causes her to turn her head towards you, looking away from the tv looking for a movie for the two of you, raising her eyebrow with a small smile âwhatâs wrong, baby?â furrowing your eyebrows you try pressing further emphasizing for her to drink the water äž âdrink.âÂ
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partnerâs)
boobs. but you already knew that. and itâs too obvious, sheâll steal a glance at any given opportunity, but aside from that, she loves laying on top of your chest just to listen to your heartbeat and probably your collarbones or inner thighs, sheâs a sucker for those places, leaving marks whether you let her or not (but if u really say no, she wonât leave any) and only because she just really likes watching you struggle trying to cover them up and usually teases you about it.
on se-mi, itâs definitely her hands, she loves the way your eyes follow every movement, from fingers to the palm äž her hand in general just staring with your mouth agape as she traces the lip piercing with her index finger, teases you about it too she uses the same hand to point at her eyes, snapping you out of your trance realizing youâve been caught, âeyes up here, baby, youâre not even gonna be discreet about it?â she teases.
and obviously because of how your body reacts when the cold rings come in contact with your warm skin, especially when theyâre sliding up to your inner thigh or a simple slide of her hand down your side when her hand is underneath the fabric of your shirt and you usually grip her wrist to stop her from doing anything else because youâre in public or in the middle of something.
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
like i said, se-miâs hands am i right hahaha,,,, đ»äž she enjoys the sight of seeing your juices covering her fingers, before locking eyes with you through half-lidded eyes, licking her own hand clean as she watches you cover your mouth with the back of your hand, still breathless, sucking in as much air as you could with your chest heaving.
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
collars. (open for discussion) something in se-mi finds it arousing about you or herself in a collar with any of the two of you being in control of the chain, visualizing you harshly or gently tugging her towards you or between your legs has her swallowing hard.
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what theyâre doing?)
definitely experienced, a decent amount of experience, sheâs more than willing to experience new and other things with you.
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
missionary. doggy. OR LITERALLY ANYTHING. as long as your legs are up on her shoulders. đœ
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
no, huge nono for her, she tends to cherish these moments of vulnerability with you.
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
i'd say sheâs pretty well groomed.
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
i like to think that se-mi gets this natural habit with you during these moments where she brings up your hand using her own hand while sheâs hovering on top of you, kissing the palm of your hand, or letting the palm of your hand simply brush against the cool metal of her piercing along with the feel of her lips, maintaining eye contact with you with half-lidded eyes, with her breath fanning over your hand, murmuring a low âi love you.âÂ
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
i think it depends, to se-mi i donât think itâs necessary when she has you.Â
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
she definitely has many, from degrading to praising, dirty talking, but i wanna assume temperature play, this idea mainly based off of how you react when her nose piercing nudges slightly at your inner thigh when she leaves marks and kisses, and letâs not forget when she eats you out.
L = Location (favorite places to do the do)
probably anywhere as long as you give her the green light, but sheâs definitely more into the moment when itâs private.
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
se-mi gets turned on by your reactions, your sounds get her going, but it definitely turns her on when you playfully or gently bite her lip piercing mid kiss.
N = No (something they wouldnât do, turn offs)
anything that involves hurting you or that leads you to cry, these are also the reason why se-mi insists you have a safe-word.
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
yes, huge YES. i donât have to explain this. she loves it, having your legs up on her shoulders, watching your reactions, her hand sliding down your side with the feel of her silver rings makes you shiver under her touch, her other hand tightens its hold on your upper thigh to hold you in place and idly tracing patterns on it.
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
depends on her mood, and yours of course.
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
se-mi likes them more than sheâd like to admit to you, a little often if youâre in a rush or a limited amount of time, they sometimes turn into an all nighter.
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
you donât risk, you donât win, she doesnât care, not a single flying fuck, unless you really say no, sheâll behave.
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
sheâll give into as many as you want, but sheâd be dead beat after all of it and definitely suggests breaks.Â
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)
strap. and definitely others like vibrators and cuffs (maybe. does a blindfold count?)
sheâd mainly use them on you, but if you insist sheâll oblige.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
depends on her mood, very unfair most of the time though, teasing is like breathing for her.
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
pretty quiet, sometimes muffled by your neck, but the times sheâs vocal is just moans, pants and heavy breathing.
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
sexting, nudes or films if you allow her.
X = X-ray (letâs see whatâs going on under those clothes)
she probably has piercings in other places. but thatâs just me thoughâŠ
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
decently high iâd say, depends on where her teasing leads to.
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
itâs a 50/50 with se-mi, depends, sometimes she just stays there cuddled up with you tracing lazy patterns on your thigh while you sleep, making you stir in your sleep. that, or she sleeps like sheâs dead. (no pun intended đż)

Chapter IV - The Killing Blow
The Narrator: You're on a path in theâ
Voice of The Cheated: Okay, what the FUCK was that!?
The Narrator: âwoods... excuse me?
Voice of The Cheated: He attacked us while it was still our turn! That's bullshit!
The Narrator: Okay, first of all, where the hell are you? You're supposed to be on aâ
Voice of The Cheated: Yeah, yeah, on a path in the woods, we know. I think it's safe to say we're well past that now.
Voice of The Stubborn: Who CARES where we are? If we respawn in the cabinâ
Voice of The Contrarian: Not sure I'd consider this a cabin anymore, really.
Voice of The Stubborn: âthat just means we can get back to fighting him faster!
Voice of The Contrarian: No reaction? Really?
Voice of The Stubborn: If he attacks us during our turn, that just means we have to spend less time DELIBERATING, and more time ATTACKING! Now let's stop wasting time talking, and go FIGHT HIM!
The Narrator: Well, at least you seem to have your priorities straight, butâ
Voice of The Skeptic: But *how* did he do that? We can't do anything but react - how is *he* any different?
Voice of The Opportunist: Now THAT'S a good question! Maybe he isn't different. Maybe we can attack during his turn as well!
Voice of The Stubborn: This is perfect! It means we don't have to waste all that time dodging! We can just get straight to the point.
Voice of The Hunted: No! Dodging is what keeps us aliveâwe *have* to keep dodging. Keep dodging until an opportunity presents itself.
Voice of The Opportunist: I like this guy. He's the only one speaking any sense around here, really.
Voice of The Paranoid: Are you all idiots? Don't any of you realize what this means? We're not safe *anywhere!* He can attack us *any time he wants!* And yet he hasn't done it until now - he's been holding back on us. Who knows what else he can do? Who knows what else he hasn't shown us?
Voice of The Broken: Exactly. It's hopeless. He's so much more powerful we could ever be. He's just been toying with us. We might as well save ourselves the suffering and just kill ourselves now.
Voice of The Smitten: It's never hopeless, as long as we have true love on our side! We must keep trying until we are reunited with our beloved, no matter how many times we have to slowly and painfully die.
Voice of The Cheated: Oh, there you are! You were quiet for so long, I thought we'd finally gotten rid of you. I think that's a new silence record, honestly.
Voice of The Cold: I was hoping he'd stay quiet forever. He never has anything new to say. It's always the same thing over, and over, and over...
Voice of The Smitten: I may be saying the same things over and over, but it is because they need to be said! Who else will express the fiery passions held deep within our heart if not myself?
Voice of The Opportunist: I think I speak for us all when I say: I don't like this guy. I think he's annoying.
The Narrator: Okay, no, hold on, how many of you are there? There's only supposed to be one of you! How many times have you been here?
Voice of The Hero: Um... I think... ten? Or... maybe eleven?
The Narrator: Eleven... oh, goodness, this isâ this is... unfathomably catastrophic. Are you absolutely certain?
Voice of The Hero: Well, no, it's just an estimate.
Voice of The Cheated: I am. I've been keeping track. It's eleven.
The Narrator: This is... horrible. Every world you've been to has been damned to oblivion. You know that, right?
Voice of The Skeptic: We know that's what you've TOLD us.
Voice of The Opportunist: And we believe it wholeheartedly! You've never led us astray before. If anything, I think we could stand to listen to you *more.* That's probably why we've failed all those other times, if we're being honest.
Voice of The Hero: Uh, for clarification, our previous failures weren't for lack of trying. We did try! It's just that this is... EXTREMELY difficult.
Voice of The Broken: It's TOO difficult. Why can't any of you understand that it simply can't be done?
Voice of The Contrarian: They're lying. In fact, we've gone out of our way to disobey your instructions every step of the way! Honestly, we're just a bunch of troublemaking rapscallions, up to no good.
Voice of The Hero: Ignore him, he's just trying to get a reaction out of you. Just... trust me on this one.
The Narrator: I see... That's... horrible. But I suppose there's nothing to be done about it now. We just have to make the best of what we have. Let's just... put that out of our minds right now, and focus on anything else. Like, say, slaying the Princess. Actually, you keep talking about a "he"âwho's "he?"
Voice of The Hero: The... skeleton. Over there?
The Narrator: Theâ...huh. I didn't even notice that was there. That's... not supposed to be there. What on earth did you do?
Voice of The Cold: Does it matter what we did? The end result is the same either way. There's a skeleton, and we have to fight him.
The Narrator: Yes, it *does* matter, actually, because if you've done something to cause there to be... a "skeleton," for whatever reason, then that means you can do something to cause there to *not* be a "skeleton."
Voice of The Hero: Wait, we can? How can we do that?
The Narrator: No, nevermind, I've already said too much.
Voice of The Contrarian: Oh, well now I *have* to know!
The Narrator: No, you don't. Believe me when I say that knowing will only make your job harder than it already is.
Voice of The Skeptic: Try to hide it from us all you like. We'll find out one way or another.
The Narrator: I'm sure you will. Now, is there still a Princess?
Voice of The Smitten: Of course there is! I'm sure of it. The Princess is right beyond that dastardly knave who's been trying to keep us apart.
Voice of The Hero: He means the skeleton.
The Narrator: Well, that's good, because that means things aren't completely ruined yet. You still have a chance to do this right. But for the love of everything, the princess is NOT "your beloved."
Voice of The Contrarian: Wait. What do you mean "completely ruined?"
The Narrator: Nothing. Pretend I didn't say that.
Voice of The Cold: It sounds interesting. I'd like to see what would happen if we ruined everything. It certainly sounds more exciting than fighting this skeleton over and over and over...
The Narrator: No. This is an INCREDIBLY dangerous train of thought. It's time to stop ruminating, and start ACTING. Just focus up, steel your nerves, and slay the Princess. Or, skeleton. Slay the skeleton, and then slay the Princess. Right. Now.
Voice of The Stubborn: FINALLY. Let's go slay ourselves a skeleton.
Voice of The Broken: Or we could do what he asks us to and leave.
Voice of The Opportunist: That's what I've been SAYING! See, this guy gets it. The skeleton's the one with the power here, after all.
Voice of The Hero: You've been saying that, yeah, but you've also been saying, like, million other different things. It's hard to tell what your opinion actually is at this point.
Voice of The Contrarian: Or, hear me out...
Voice of The Hero: Let me guess. We throw the blade out the window?
Voice of The Contrarian: NOW you're getting it!
Voice of The Stubborn: Ugh, stop wasting time already! I want to FIGHT!
* [Walk up to the skeleton.]
Voice of The Opportunist: That's a good move. Definitely the right decision.
*hmm. that expression. that'sâ
Voice of The Cheated: Yeah, yeah, expression of someone with a lot of internal conflict, yadda yadda yadda, we've heard it already!
Voice of The Cold: He's so dull. He hasn't said anything new in forever.
Voice of The Opportunist: Hey, have we tried attacking him during his opening monologue? That might be a good idea.
Voice of The Stubborn: YES!
The Narrator: Before the skeleton can even finish talking, you lunge toward him, blade held low. But by the time you land, he'sâ
Voice of The Cheated: Already somewhere else? Yeah. We know. Typical.
The Narrator: Correct.
* Hold on. What happened to me being the decider?
Voice of The Paranoid: Oh, so *now* you want to be the one making the decisions? The last six times you pushed all the responsibility of fighting onto us until something new happened.
* I thought you were the Voice of The Paranoid, not the Voice of The Petty.
Voice of The Paranoid: Whatâ?
The Narrator: Muscle memory and reflex guide you as you evade the skeleton's attacks, but without your full attention on the fight, your performance is imperfect. A few scrapes from bones whizzing past you, a few burns from searing hot beams of light grazing your skin. Why does the skeleton have lasers?
*guess we're getting right into it, huh?
Voice of The Hunted: Stop arguing! The fight has begun! We have to keep on our toes.
Voice of The Paranoid: Now look what you've done!
Voice of The Broken: Why even bother? It won't matter in the end.
Voice of The Stubborn: He can't dodge forever. Just keep attacking.
Voice of The Hunted: No. We have to eat. Eating is important to stay healthy, and we need to be in the best condition possible if we're going to win this.
Voice of The Contrarian: Ooh, here's an idea! What if we scarf down all our food right now?
Voice of The Opportunist: You know, that's a good pointâwe don't know how long we'll be alive this time. We should eat as much as we can while we have the chance. Life's all about enjoying the good things while they last!
Voice of The Hunted: NO! We have to ration our food.
* We don't need to eat yet. If we ate it now we wouldn't benefit from its full potential. [Fight.]
Voice of The Hunted: This is bad too! If we're not in proper shape for his next attack we can't survive as many hits!
The Narrator: You lunge at him again, butâ
Voice of The Cheated: Yeah, yeah, we know. He dodges.
*our reportsâ
Voice of The Stubborn: We've heard all this before! Get on with it!
Voice of The Skeptic: Am I the only one who thinks it might be important to figure out what he's talking about?
Voice of The Hunted: His words are just a distraction. Don't pay attention to them. Information doesn't matter. What matters is staying alive.
The Narrator: You tune out the skeleton's words until he begins to attack again. KARMA and adrenaline coursing through your veins, your reflexes carry you through the skeleton's onslaught. As you leap over one of the skeleton's spells, however, your leg falls below the rest of your body, dragging across the bones, its skin shredding.
Voice of The Paranoid: Shit!
Voice of The Cheated: Shit, that hurts.
Voice of The Cold: I've told you. This would be so much easier if you just stopped feeling pain.
Voice of The Hunted: No. Pain keeps us humble. Pain keeps us nimble. Pain keeps us alive.
* [Fight.]
*until suddenlyâ
Voice of The Stubborn: I'm TIRED of waiting! We attack him again!
The Narrator: He dodges again.
*wow. not even gonna let me finish talking, huh? your impatience has really damaged you, hasn't it?
Voice of The Stubborn: We attack.
The Narrator: He dodges again.
*i know what type of person you are. youâ
The Narrator: Suddenly, he begins attacking you again mid-sentence.
Voice of The Hunted: Shit! Dodge, dodge!
Voice of The Stubborn: This is taking too long. What happened to attacking during his turn?
Voice of The Cheated: Now, I'm all for giving him a taste of his own medicine, butâ
Voice of The Stubborn: We attack. Again.
The Narrator: I wouldn't recommend this course of action, but I suppose there's nothing I can do. You make no attempt to avoid his attacks, instead charging straight for him while his magic razes your lower body. Once again, he effortlessly dodges your swing. I hope you know what you're doing.
* What the hell was that?
Voice of The Stubborn: I'm doing what you all are too cowardly to do and FIGHTING! We attack again!
* Okay, no. We'll die if we do that again. We're eating. [Eat the Legendary Hero.]
Voice of The Hunted: Finally!
Voice of The Hero: Still not comfortable eating something called that.
Voice of The Smitten: I'd brave any amount of discomfort if it means getting us closer to our beloved.
Voice of The Hero: You've been surprisingly quiet lately.
Voice of The Cheated: Shhh. I like him better this way.
Voice of The Smitten: How dare you! If you find my passions so offensive, perhaps you should go somewhere else! I will not let my feelings be stifled for the sake of others. In fact, I'm going to talk more from now on.
Voice of The Hero: Now look what you've done.
The Narrator: You eat the Legendary Hero. The flavors of the sandwich's ingredients dance across your taste buds in tandem, creating something greater than any of them could ever be individuallyâ
Voice of The Cheated: We know how it tastes.
The Narrator: Fine. As chunks slide down your throat, they dissipate into nothing. You feel your pain ease up as your body, as if by magic, heals at a remarkable pace.
* Actually, can we speed this along? We've seen this enough times already. We know how it goes. I attack, he dodges, he attacks, I dodge, and every once in a while I eat something. You can just describe the rest of the battle, right?
The Narrator: This feels reckless. Are you really going to relinquish your decision-making ability just to make things go a little faster? What if that bloodthirsty one takes control of you again?
Voice of The Paranoid: I'll hold him back.
Voice of The Hero: Ditto. He won't get another chance to do that again.
The Narrator: Well, alright then. You fall into the rhythm of the battle, the skeleton throwing jagged reflections of his own body parts at you while you gracefully dance out of the way of them all. Sometimes you find yourself falling towards the ceiling, or weaving around white hot beams of light, but none of it seems to faze you anymore. For every attack you avoid with near perfection, you dish out another swing of your own. But the skeleton evades yours flawlessly and without effort. Or so it seems, until...
*ugh... that being said...
Voice of The Cheated: Oh, we're wise to your tricks now!
Voice of The Smitten: Your devilish deceptions shan't fool us anymore! You are the only thing standing between us and the Princess, and we will not rest until you are vanquished!
Voice of The Opportunist: Honestly, I'm shocked anyone fell for this. It was obvious from the beginning he was just trying to get the upper hand.
Voice of The Hero: You were the first one to suggest we take his offer!
Voice of The Paranoid: Focus!!!
Voice of The Stubborn: WE ATTACK!
The Narrator: He dodges.
Voice of The Hero: Shit, sorry! I forgot!
* It's fine. Narrator, you can speed things up again.
The Narrator: Right. Whatever. What else am I good for. You continue to exchange near-blows as the skeleton- hold on, what was that he said about you "consuming timelines?" That's rich, coming from *him.* He's the one preventing you from saving the world in the first place! Whatever. You keep dodging until it's time for his "special attack."
Voice of The Hero: Wait, what? For real? We made it?
Voice of The Paranoid: FOCUS!
Voice of The Hero: Shit!
Voice of The Stubborn: WE ATTACK!
The Narrator: He dodges. Again.
*heh, didja really think you would be able to-
Voice of The Opportunist: NOW!
The Narrator: You attack again, this time catching him off guard. In a single strike, an enormous gash forms across his entire body.
Voice of The Cheated: Holy shit! We did it! We actually did it!
Voice of The Stubborn: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Voice of The Hero: Wait, really? We've done it?
Voice of The Opportunist: We've done it! And it was all thanks to me, really. Where would you be without me?
Voice of The Cold: About time. This whole routine was getting so dull.
Voice of The Broken: What...?
Voice of The Skeptic: Finally. We can finally find some answers.
Voice of The Smitten: More importantly, we can finally see our beloved!
Voice of The Hunted: No time to celebrate. We never know when another threat might present itself. We have to stay on guard.
Voice of The Paranoid: No, we can't have defeated him. It can't have been that easy.
The Narrator: It was. It's over.
Voice of The Contrarian: As amazing as I'm sure your reaction to it would be, I'm going to refrain from killing all of us right now because I *really* don't want to go through all of that again.
Voice of The Hero: How generous.
* [Proceed.]
The Narrator: You make your way to the end of the corridor. There... isn't a staircase leading to a basement, but after the random skeleton, this is honestly the least of my concerns. You walk through the grey halls, the cold stone chilling your feet, until you find a doorway to a grand throne room. Grass and flowers peek through the frame, as if inviting you to step inside. If the Princess lives here... no, that doesn't work here, does it?
* [Enter.]
The Narrator: You stand inside a regal throne room, the walls shining gold. In the center lies a throne, seated in a bed of golden flowers. In front of it, the silhouette of...
OH! GREETINGS, BIRD MONSTER!
Voice of The Smitten: There he is! Our beloved!
The Narrator: ...a second skeleton wearing a blonde wig.
something's wrong with my copy of Slay the Princess

Some of Yves Klossâ best quotes
"He caaaaaaaaame! " (âYves screaming about Clavis)
"You're the most common commoner I've ever seen. You have no redeeming features to speak of. Why should I accept someone like that?"
"Choosing me shows how sophisticated you are. You won't regret it." (âYves' changing route quote)
"Y-You call that a CAKE...?" (âYves reacting to Clavis' gift)
"If this shameless behavior goes on any longer, youâll find out what happens if you test my patience. I suggest that you donât." (âYves defending Emma in front of a noblewoman that bullied her)
"ExCUSE me? What on earth are you doing hiding in my closet?!"
"Excuse me? And why not?! Iâm going to tell everyone, so we can figure out how best to punish her for what she did to you! (âŠ) Huh?! Hey, no, youâve got it all wrong! This isnât kindness! I just know Iâd end up with the worst stomachache if something happened to you because of me!" (âYves defending Emma)
"Why should you have to be the one to carry such a heavy burden? This is a problem between two nations. Itâs not the sort of thing a simple, kind-hearted woman like yourself needs to get involved in."
"âŠEmma really is amazing. I could never do anything like that. I always wanted to be a bridge that could bring Obsidian and Rhodolite together⊠But I was despised just for being half-Obsidianite, and I accepted it all, like it was completely normal. I never did a single thing to actually improve the relationship between our countries. I didnât even think I could. It takes courage and resolve to approach someone when youâre completely at odds with them. Itâs not easy, not in the slightest. I bet itâs left Emma in tears countless times. But even so, sheâs still here now, holding her head high and taking that first step towards peace. She really is⊠amazing. (âŠ) Sheâs so beautiful itâs dazzling. (âŠ) Iâve spent my whole life with my head down, seeing nothing but the ground at my feet. I really need to changeâI need to learn from her example." (âYves talking about Emma to Leon)
"Fhwhwh...?! Oh my god. How is my little brother this adorable?!" (âYves talking about Licht)
"Know this: Yves Kloss loves you, and he's always thinking about you. There's not a day you're not in his thoughts."
"You do realize you're pretty, no matter what?"
"For the record? Each time you make me happy, I swear I'll make you even happier."
"H-Hey... Have you really not noticed that I, Yves Kloss, am waiting for the right moment to talk with you?"
"U-Um, Emma... Don't tell me you're... with both of them...?" (âYves talking about Emma holding Gilbert's and Clavis' hands)
"Just the thought of being tossed into a den full of women sends a shiver up my spine..."
"Did you just say... LOVE?!" (âYves to Licht and Leon)
"I guess you captivated me. You were always striving to be perfect, and... that's the Emma I fell in love with."
"Y-You think you can just be all cute and get away with it, huh?"
"Please don't cry, Emma. When you cry... my heart aches so badly I don't know what to do."
"I'm not a prince to be pitied. It doesn't matter if no one accepts me. The only one I need acceptance from is me. (...) It doesn't matter what other people say. What's the point, if you can't trust yourself, and believe in your own worth? Even if they trample you under their filthy, worn bootsâso long as you hold your head high and believe in yourself, it'll only make you stronger."
"Okay, which of you gave Licht wine?! How many times have I told you not to?!"
"There are so many people in the world who hate me. But... I hate me more than any of them."
"Aww, Licht, don't be so down. Failure is an unavoidable part of cooking!" (âYves reassuring a sulking Licht)
"I'm never making dessert for any of you ever again!! You're all horrible and you can eat dirt for all I care!"
"I am NOT a cat!!!"
"...I know that kindness of yours is probably a virtue, but I can't help worrying that you're going to kindness yourself to death one day."
"What? No! I didn't meow. Why on earth would I meow?!"
"You're my goddess of happiness. I... thank you for coming, Emma."
"He's such a brazen fool! Not a principled bone in his body, and he's incorrigible to boot!" (âYves talking about Nokto)

The Switch 2 Hardware Reveal "disappointment"
I know I shouldn't be bothered for this, but seeing reactions from press and people just somewhat made me angry. There are definitely things to say in how Nintendo may not have revealed enough for sure, like, don't get me wrong about it, I think that's the part that could be debated the most, but I think it's not really worth debating about that too much.
I don't think we are all meant to be marketing video reviewers. Nintendo has showed what they wanted to show, and as far as my reaction is concerned, I think it was okay. Sure they didn't show too much, but I'm still happy to see a Switch 2 that's way more practical than what's currently going on with a clear comparison point. There are things hardware wise that I'm pretty excited for.
But if there's one reaction that I would understand a lot better than "disappointment" it's "nothing", more of the reaction of not really feeling anything because your interest is not on the hardware, it's on the software. You wanna hear about the games instead, and how it would change from the previous system (or not, even), and I think that's way way more understandable and acceptable to me.
Where's the surprise?
But disappointed because nothing was a surprise? I learned all of the leaks, I knew just about everything about the hardware already, and you don't somehow feel some sort of relief of having a proper look? Personally I was pretty content with it even if they didn't show too much and that's the one critic I could repeat many times and would 100% agree with. If that's also the excuse, then here's my question to the press: Why do you share all these leaks all the time?
I am still critical of whole "surprise management" myself. I love surprises too, but what I am interested in is more long term. I personally do not understand how people are suddenly "oh it's just like the leaks" and then somehow that means no reaction? Because the reaction came before the announcement and somehow you don't react when you see it officially? Come on. I don't think this is sane. We're not talking about the plot twist to a story, we're talking about marketing.
The hate was there from the beginning
Also uh⊠remember when a lot of people hated on the Switch 1 after its reveal? I sure remember the journalists and the tech nerds hating on it. Taking into example the Wii U because that was the last thing around from Nintendo at that moment, but it's happening again with Switch 2, now taking the Switch 1's success as a reasoning. I don't think the previous console was ever a real factor.
Meanwhile a lot of people who were more like me, just gamers enjoying games, were very fans of it and we were certain of its success, and that Nintendo took lessons from the Wii U very darn well. And now people are rewriting history and saying most people were hating on the Switch? Really? Should I remind the absolute success it was at launch? The sales don't speak in their favor.
Nothing has changed. You're dealing with the overarching vision of "experts," which are nothing more than a minority thinking they're the majority.
Where's the revolution?
Sometimes I see a comparison with the Switch 1 Reveal but I just think it's dishonest and really misunderstood. The Switch 1 reveal video was brilliant in conveying us the point of the concept: Having a system that can go between TV, tabletop and portable, with quite a few ways to play. What did you expect from Switch 2 to continue from that? Another revolutionary way to play?
Maybe I am totally missing something, but I always thought of bridging together handheld and TV gaming in one was like, the final gamer dream. Some may say there's more, and that Nintendo should have been able to do something, but for what? For you to complain about the weirdness and also complain for Nintendo to maybe not make much use of it overall? Nintendo has abandoned this way of doing things entirely. I don't have a dream beyond what the Switch did aside from more fancy things that in my opinion aren't required, but I am just happy with what's on my plate too.
Personally I think the Switch is an admission of defeat of the DS and Wii days in retrospect. So they mixed every single relevant technology into one system: We have the regular controllers, we have the accelerometer, the gyroscopes, the touch screen, we still have the weird Nintendo with the IR camera (even though there's almost always something IR in almost every Nintendo system when you think about it for a second), but none of it is forced on you anymore. Everything is now a choice from the devs, and you.
Personally after a lot of analysis I got excited about the Joy-Con Mouse mode. Because I'm weird. I see potential here. More than most people think. I don't think anyone knows the potential of having two mice for a single game. But that's a topic for another time.
Where's the weird Nintendo?
I also heard some worries about the weird Nintendo not really being around but it was never gone in the first place. During the Switch we had many opportunities to see it: Nintendo Labo (we got 4 of them!), Game Builder Garage, Ring Fit Adventure, 1-2-Switch.
The obscure side of Nintendo even peeked a little more than usual: Another Code Recollection, Famicom Detective Club got remakes and even a new game after decades, Endless Ocean Luminous (even if it's apparently not good).
And don't forget the Nintendo Switch Online Playtest Program which showed a very strange concept that I never thought Nintendo would do. And then you add the Alarmo that released a few months ago for NSO subscribers. Don't forget that. Just because it isn't always to your liking, it doesn't mean it's gone.

I was inspired by Vetyr's art and so tried to draw something for Knight of the Dark. I do love the results! â€ïž But sadly, the final composition did not work out, so instead I will share individual pictures. đ
Here are a few thoughts about it:
I adore the roughness of everyone's hair with this brush, especially Valen's. It suits him so well.
I am happy with how Lavi's expression turned out. Just the right mixture of desperation and defiance.
Valen ended up static on the ground, begging rather desperately to know everything and take action. Which he cannot in the end and that's one of my most favourite aspects about him in KotD, actually.
Berial's not quite as threatening as on might imagine. For him, this entire thing was out of boredom and an observation game about how mortals react. A prelude to his next target, Orson.
Merlin is way to pretty. xD
About Hogan and Lorenzis... something I realised now that I have drawn them again. And something that did bother me back when I drew for the chapters: I never liked Lorenzis in armor. And now I know why. Because he rose to his position due to his connections. I bet he never fought on the frontlines as Hogan did. Lorenzis is the man who wears not only his rank but also his (undeserved) medals for show. Hogan on the other hand, I always wondered why he, as a magistrate, would still wear his armor. And it is because he is a man of action and he will not hesitate to fight to protect. He hardly has to lift a finger and yet he still chooses to be with his soldiers rather than being perched up high behind his office desk and give orders.
#my art#afk journey#afk valen#hcs#ocs#dame lavinia#afk merlin#afk hogan#afk berial#hogan is in fact such a man of action that he even descends from the skies to help us in battle this season xD#i recommend you read the talent skill descriptions - that was such a good laugh

My conclusion after EP 13 for Perfect 10 Liners is: I LOVE FAIFA! đ
He is so F extra, I really love him đ€Ł And the way Junior portrays him is so cute, I have no idea how many times I said "I love Faifa" during this whole episode đ€Łđ€ I'm really curious to know more about him and his traumas. I feel he tries to be friend of everyone and help them either because he himself don't wanna feel lonely or abandoned again, or don't want the others to feel lonely like he did. I really don't know but I'm dying to learn about it đ€ Hope I continue to like him in his story please đđ€Ł
Also, I love how EVERYONE in that class began to mock Yotha and Gun when they began the whole tie scene right there in the front. If you look at the extras, even them are making the "Do my tie" gesture and I quacked when I noticed thatđ€Łđ€Ł The friendship mockery on this whole series is my favorite part, help đ€Łđ€Ł
AND THE WAY GUN HIDES BEHIND FAIFA IS SO CUTE. He feels safe with Faifa, he goes to him and opens up, breaks down crying in front of Fai, that's what I call trust and I love it. Also Fai protecting Gun from Yotha cause he don't want Yotha to hurt Gun anymore... I love him... I can't, that's too sweet đđđ
And Junior showing that he can indeed act serious too and not just goofy, ooh, I love to see thatđ€đ€đ€
About Warit and Klao, really can't talk on their matter cause, it just hits too close to home... I've been in the EXACT SAME situation as Warit and my way out of it was shitty af so, I don't even know how to react to watching what happened to me as a viewer cause I'll always lean more for Warit cause I FULLY understand him...
So I'm just gonna talk about the slap. I'm SURE that that slap hurt 100% more than any of the punches Klao took the whole episode. I vocalized a loud "OH SHIT" the moment I heard the sound. And I liked that Warit did that cause it was effective in a way that talking at that moment wouldn't be as Klao was completely out so the slap was like a reboot in the system đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł I think things will begin to move forward to them now cause they actually talked about it, Warit expressed how he actually feels about Yotha so, it should work from now (I HOPE, PLEASE đ)
And then, Santa crying... OMG, THAT WAS GOOD SCENES. It sounds sad saying it like this but I swear I mean goodđ€Łđ€Ł
I was/am impressed at the way he cries cause he KNOWS how to cry. The way his voice shakes when he speaks, his whole body flinching, I don't know if I'm the only one that felt this but I was genuinely impressed. If you tell me that he was crying for real and not acting there, I'd fully believe you đđđđ
And let me tell you, I went đź when Yotha kissed Warit like... I was not expecting itđ First of all, "OMG, PERTHBOOM" that was my stupid head first thoughtđđ€Łđ€Ł Then I went "Noo, don't do this to me... Don't make he still like Warit..." and I KNEW GUN WAS GONNA SEE THAT, OFC HE WOULDđđ
But please... My baby is pretty and looks good even crying but... Let's not make him cry this much anymore, please đđđ SPARE MY POOR HEARTđđđđ
And the preview... I'm scared actually. Wait for him why?! Why Yotha?! Wait what?! What do you mean?! Come back here and explain right now đ And now we will get the beach YothaGun scenes from the trailer so, that plus the "Wait for me" made me really go "???????"
Ahh... These series... Why can't they just be released all together so I binge everything and be happy?! đđđ
+ I have too much of rot in my brain cause in the bar scene, Lykn's May I? plays in the background and all I could pay attention to was the song and that it was Lykn... I need rehab from them atp, this is an addiction đđđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł

@sir-tater-of-the-tot Just for you!
-
Lucifer wasn't sure what was going on at the Heavens Embassy, whispers had been swirling around for a couple weeks now since the last extermination day. Rumors that the embassy has been taken over by a mass of new sinners that want into heaven.
Rumors of course...... But as King he had to find out if there was any truth. The problem was, anyone who got too close or went inside never came back. So they were likely killing all who entered.
He could take them and he would.
Lucifer opened a portal and went right down there. He was shocked to see the state that the embassy was in. The place still glowed its holy golden light from the heavens, but from every end of it was covered dripping equally golden honey, there were flowers now bloomed out front and spears with angelic spear heads pointing out as if to keep people away.
There were two bee looking sinners with spears guarding the front door, scowls on their faces yet also neutral looks at the same time. Lucifer could easily blast his way in but something told him to be discrete.
So he used another portal to get in and holy shit the honey! It was everywhere, either just dripping or in honeycombs or vats of it everywhere. Also many beautiful flowers. The sound of buzzing caught his attention and there were so many bees and wasps flying around doing so many things.
And they are all women. Weird.
Lucifer: The fuck is going on?
Then he saw it, the biggest Bee in the hive walked into view with her lovely curves, crown on her head and an egg in her grasp.
This must be their Queen.
Adam: Okay here, put this little one with the others to hatch.
Adam!?!
........
Oh this changes things.
Worker bee: For you my Queen.
She brought him some lovely flowers that smelled amazing.
Adam: Thank you my dear.
He took them giving them a deep smell, the fragrance was intoxicating and the pollen tickled his nose in the best way. The little worker bee seemed so happy to have her Queen accept her gift, she bowed and buzzed away happily.
Lucifer decided to make his presence known when Adam placed the flowers near his throne.
Lucifer: Adam?
The hive became silent and the bees turned towards the King of Hell, the Exorcist Bees brandished their spears and pointed them at him, the wasps extended their stingers ready for a fight and the worker bees held back to protect the eggs.
Adam: Lucifer? What a lovely surprise.~ It's okay ladies, for now anyway.
He walked towards Lucifer and the spears lowered a little.
Lucifer: What is all this?
Adam: My kingdom. And you know, I'm actually glad you're here. You can actually be of service to me.~
Before he could react, Adam picked him up and threw him into a nearby meeting room landing on the table, he ended up in some honey that was making him stick to the table.
Adam walked in and closed the door, a smirk on his face. He needed to grow his empire more and to do that he needed more little babies that lived longer than 6 weeks to 6 months.
Adam: Do you remember the promise you made me back in Eden, Luci? The one about us having a big family?
Adam pulled Lucifer's pants down to his ankles and smiled at how hard he already was.
Removing his own panties, Adam stepped out of them and crawled on-top of Lucifer, bringing out his second set of arms to keep the King in place.
Adam: Because I never forgot and it's time to make good on that promise.~
He lowered himself onto Lucifer's dick and moaned, fuck he felt good. Dick made for a Queen.
Lucifer gasped as the warm wet heat enveloped his cock.
Lucifer: I-I-I didn't forget, I just didn't think you'd want it anymore.
Adam: Of course I do. A King has to fertilize his Queen after all.~ And I AM the new Queen around here.
Adam leaned down and kissed him as he started to rock his hips, he pulled away when he really got into riding Lucifer.
The mating need was there and since no worthy males were around he's been having little bees asexually like a damn flower.
But not anymore, he's got the ultimate nectar now.
Adam rode him for hours, even after Lucifer had already cum a few times inside of him painting his walls white with his seed he wanted more, needed more.
It wasn't until he felt absolutely full and satisfied did he stop milking Lucifer for all he's worth.
Adam: Mmm, that was amazing.~
Lucifer, breathless: Yeah.~
Adam covered him up to give him some modesty just in case and placed a sweet kiss on his lips.
Adam: Thanks for round one.~
Lucifer: R-round one?
Adam hummed: Mmmhmmm, I gotta go wait for these eggs to develop so I can lay them. I'll be back in a little bit. Thank you handsome.~
He walked out blowing Lucifer a kiss with a wink, he knew their babies were going to be strong and beautiful.
Lucifer rated his head on the table: You're welcome honey.

I know you donât write anything with Yuu/OCs, theyâre included but not as the main. Sorta a warning.
how do you think the boys would react to a partner (Yuu/oc/other canon character) who DOESNâT masturbate or watch porn? Given that itâs slightly agreed upon that boys in an all boys school is absolutely getting off, whatâs the reaction to the like one guy who isnât?
Iâll also add another note, the partner isnât ace or lacking sexual attraction, they just choose to not do that.
Guess what, a hc post today!
This ask is insanely old, one of the oldest ones that are currently in our askbox, and I really wonder if the person who asked it is still here, but if they are: thank you for being patient, for asking and for enjoying our stuff. I am sorry it took this long, and sorry to everyone else whoâs been waiting for monthsâŠ
But enough of me apologising, letâs talk about this ask! As you already mentioned, we donât really do Yuu/OC stuff, so I wrote in a way that was easier for me: by mentioning our specific ships. I hope thatâs okay with you.
And just like you stated, the person in question isnât ace, so I am not touching this particular aspect at all in this post.
Anyways, letâs rollâŠ
Riddle â obviously, he isnât surprised, in fact ,he is almost offended that itâs presented like itâs a big and shocking thing. This is just the right thing to do to him â why would anyone want to masturbate or watch porn anyway? Why would anyone desire physical intimacy until marriage? Sounds highly inappropriate to him! I feel like Riddle would probably get shocked if he heard that his potential partner does masturbate or watch porn⊠especially if itâs someone he has some respect for, like Trey, for example.
Ace â âYeah, right! ⊠Wait, for real?â type of reaction lol I feel like he is someone who would instantly start asking a lot of questions, trying to figure out why wouldnât someone who doesnât lack sexual attraction watch porn or jerk off. He would instantly start teasing, egging his partner on; if he is feeling especially douchey, he might even tell everyone about it. Is it because he himself watches so much porn that this is the only way he can process not wanting to watch it? Maybe. Anyway, he broke Deuceâs âno watching porn and no jerking offâ streak once like this. If itâs serious though, he might accept it after a certain point. Not with Deuce though, he canât let Deuce feel like heâs better than himâŠ
Deuce â surprised, but also a little embarrassed about himself. He would feel like this is very inspiring, but also very humbling â he could never manage to not masturbate for longer than a couple of days⊠He is a mix of insecurity and supportiveness. If someone like Jack states that he doesnât do such things, Deuce would feel such a strong urge to also stop doing that, even if he isnât asked to, just because it feels weird to do it when his partner doesnât. Itâs like itâs cheating somehow if only one of them does it. He is a bit of a mess⊠very conflicted young man that overthinks it a lot.
Trey â if itâs someone like Riddle, heâs not surprised at all. A tiiiiny little bit concerned, but not surprised: he is actually smart enough to know that itâs not absolutely mandatory to masturbate or watch porn to even be healthy, but for some reason he also frames it as âwell those people are special/their own kind, Iâm just a normal guyâ in his head.
Cater â his reaction would be similar to Aceâs, but he wouldnât be as much of a douche about it. When Ace starts asking questions, itâs obvious that even though he is shocked, he is kind of mocking or at least teasing, but Cater has more curiosityâŠor is it nosiness?? Anyway, he could get somewhat obnoxious about it, but he isnât super close with anyone to the point of having an actual opinion. To each their own?? I guess.
Leona â he couldnât care less; as someone who is too lazy to jerk off a lot of times, he isnât completely shocked that there are people who arenât into it. He would get sooomewhat surprised if itâs someone from his own dorm though, like Jack or Ruggie; he might tease the latter a little bit for that. What, are you storing sperm now? Are you planning on donating it later? But nothing more than that.
Ruggie â he does think that every single guy in NRC jerks off every now and then, so he would be mildly surprised to hear that someone doesnât, and probably wonât believe them anyway lol But itâs not like he would care much. Even if itâs his partner, itâs none of his business, but if itâs Leona weâre talking about, Ruggie would think that he is just trying to stay pent up until they have sex⊠or that he is that lazy that even jerking his wiener is too much work for him at this point.
Jack â his reaction would be somewhat similar to Deuceâs; he would probably be slightly surprised, but then impressed, and then somewhat embarrassed of himself. It really might urge him to stop masturbating himself; he already isnât a huge fan of himself doing that, but his body is too demanding and causes him problems if he doesnât jerk off every now and then⊠I guess that would make him want to have sex more often lol If Jack and Deuce decided to stop masturbating together, theyâll just end up hooking up endlessly.
Azul â he isnât super into sex or masturbation, so he wouldnât think itâs a big deal, UNLESS he really wants to use it as a leverage. For example, he might be a little bummed out that Jamil isnât really interested in those things because now he canât really use it against himâŠwhich is a bit messed up thing to even consider about your partner lol In general though, itâs even better for him if his partner doesnât masturbate. He gets jealous and he is very controlling, so I can see him as the type to get kind of pissy that his partner masturbates⊠he is lucky that neither Jamil nor Idia really do that all that muchâŠ
Jade â it depends. In general, he really doesnât care, so if itâs never mentioned, he wonât even think about it. But if his partner makes a point about it, then Jade is going to get interested. For example, if Idia states that he doesnât really watch hentai for anything other than artistic value and doesnât jerk off, that would automatically make Jade want to make him want to masturbate somehow. Maybe with cunningness, maybe with mushrooms, but he really wants to see what it takes to make that person reconsider, just because it sounds like a taunting, I mean challenge.
Floyd â same thing, but with a bit of a different flavour. Of course heâs going to want to make someone like Riddle (who is very righteous and principled about not masturbating) jerk off, of course he is going to bully him into that, of course he is going to have fun with it. Itâs not like he cares all that much, but if it comes from a place of insecurity and he can sense that, he is going to take advantage of that.
Kalim â somehow⊠Kalim feels too wholesome to care. I think he is one of the people who would just think that it means that he and his partner would get to spend more time having fun together!! <3 Maybe itâs difficult to talk about Kalim because we only ship him with Jamil, and their situation is too unique⊠does he even think of Jamil as of someone who would masturbate? Does Kalim even think about those things at all?
Jamil â similarly to Kalim, he would think that no masturbation = more sex, but unlike Kalim, he would hate that lol For some reason, Jamilâs potential partners are all clingy and annoying, so he actually wouldnât mind at all if someone like Kalim or Azul left him alone for a change and jerked off in their respective rooms. He might even encourage that, maybe even while acting all sweet and caring, secretly hoping that he would get some âme timeâ in return. He is such a good boyfriend, that Jamil <3
VIl â he respects personal choices like that, and he always tries to be very mature about it. He might get concerned if itâs with someone like Rook because Vil knows how he gets when he is pent up⊠but he would never really judge anyone for not masturbating or not watching porn. He would be very pleasantly tickled if his lover who doesnât masturbate jerked off on his pictures thoughâŠ
Rook â he wouldnât get surprised because chances are, he is already aware lol He also doesnât judge, and he finds abstinence to be romantic and poetic, even if itâs just a matter of âIâm not feeling itâ. But he is also a strong believer of accumulating lust until the actual rendezvous. He and Vil are similar in this regard⊠but if itâs someone like Idia, who, once again, just doesnât want to masturbate, I can see Rook being incredibly (sickly) sweet about it, which would still feel creepy somehow.
Epel â while hearing that from someone like Floyd and Rook would surprise him on many many many levels, even if he hears that from anyone else it would be somewhat surprising. He started jerking off even before he discovered porn⊠so not wanting to do that at all feels strange to him. He wonât make a big deal about it, but he might suddenly remember about it and ask questions similar to âbut why?â or ânot at all???â every now and then.
Idia â he believes that dating is overrated, sex is overrated, masturbation is overrated, but also Idia is still a gooner at heart, so abstinence from porn would probably prompt a discussion about how eroge and hentai are actually art and should be appreciated no matter what. Just in case. That being said, he doesnât care about his partner not masturbating, until he remembers that the majority of his partner options are super horny guys, so them not masturbating for any reason would only mean that he is going to get more heat from them. Please feel free to jerk off more! Itâs good for you! It really is!
Ortho â he also wouldnât be surprised⊠but he will act surprised! He will play this âwhaat, but donât all boys masturbate???â card, even though he knows that itâs not true. He just really, really wanted to say this line, okay? Anyways, heâll only comment on that if he feels like his partnerâs vitals show that he needs to jerk off asap! But heâll suggest his help in that case anyway~
Lilia â he should know better with how old he is and how many kinds of boys heâd seen, but he would still get surprised. The all-boys school setting is such a classic to him, and he knows that even the most pure and chaste ones still have dirty thoughts every now and then⊠Similarly to some other guys, heâll play it as âaww, you canât do it without me? Itâs okay, I knew youâd get lonely <3ââŠ
Silver â this boy doesnât get why he should be surprised, so he probably wouldnât be, but I have an inkling that he might say that the person should do it every now and then because otherwise youâd get sick. Where did he learn it from? Lilia, of course. But then heâd go âah, but if weâre doing it anyway, it shouldnât be a problemâ. Where did he learn that from? Lilia again, of course.
Sebek â another one who would fully consider it a norm, but once again there is some nuance depending on who weâre talking about. If itâs Silver, then itâs âOf course you donât, that would be disgraceful!â, while secretly seething a little bit because now he feels like Silver has the upper hand between the two of them, because Sebek himself is having a hard time holding back sometimes⊠And if itâs Malleus, then itâs âOf course my liege wouldnât!! <3â but also simultaneously getting extremely embarrassed because now he canât help but think about Malleus doing things to himself⊠If itâs someone like Idia though, he might actually gain some respect towards him because of that. Sebekâs mind works in interesting ways lol
Malleus â I donât think he would care that much, frankly. Itâs not like he is super into masturbating or watching porn himself, but he also is aware that this is something that is natural and expected â Lilia has taught him that. So he could be miiiildly surprised, but ultimately it just means that he and his partner would be more pent up when theyâre together, right? At least in Malleusâ head, and that feels like a very good thing~ If itâs someone like Sebek though, I feel like Malleus would think that it would be beneficial for Sebek to masturbate every now and then â this boy is too pent up.

Letâs do a little group project - reblog/comment your HC:
Regulus got Remus pregnant.
It was an accident and totally unplanned.
a) Would Remus tell him or would he find out in another way?
My answer: Remus would do his best âI am Sirius Black, the Uncaringâ impression and tell Regulus, acting calm and sure, while on the inside being a mess.
b) Once Regulus finds out, how would he react?
My answer: Panic. Pure. Panic. Because Walburga may have allowed this âdallianceâ as most boys fool around, and better a simple half-blood boy that a pureblood girl where problems could follow. She knew neither of Remusâ wolf nor his uterus.
So now Regulus is completely at loss, but he knows one thing: he wonât make Remus have a bastard. So he drops down on one knee, right then and there, presenting Remus his heir ring as he has nothing else on him at the moment.
When Remus questions, slightly heartbroken, if itâs just for the baby, Regulus answers:
âThe timing is for the baby. My endless love and devotion is for you. I would have asked you once I am done with Hogwarts no matter what.â

i typed that answer up on my phone at like 2 in the morning, im rereading over it now and its still missing things. as of right now, its 7 in the morning and im still in the same position i was when i typed that answer
main thing i want to highlight about them is just that hank is incredibly direct and sheriff is very dodgy but only and SPECIFICALLY about hank. if sheriff were to have loved someone else his behavior would be almost completely different but because its hank he acts differently.
sheriff will always dance around âwantingâ hank and ever vocalizing his own affection for them, because uttering something blatantly romantic is a confession of sin. in his mind, its ringing âyes i love hank j wimbleton, the guy who has killed hundreds of people and even killed me and who would do it again cant you see how stupid i amâ
it sounds embarrassing, shameful, executable to him.
his self image is really important to him, even if its in acts that only he and hank would know about. even murmuring about he doesnt want hank to get up and leave him because heâd still like to cuddle.
doesnt that just sound sugary sweet? he cant bear to hear himself say it.
hank is however completely unashamed about anything because it has no reason to be embarrassed. what reason does it need to care about the little things like a social reputation. if youre that much of an inconvenience ill just kill you. it lives for whatever reason, its not dependent on the eyes of others.
it will just bluntly ask sheriff things if it looks like he wants something, or if hank wants to try something or if it just outright wants to do something.
they COULD say things like âi love youâ but it finds actions and motions to be more satisfying than words. and on top of that, it observes sheriff to react strongly in such a mixed way to words like that so it chooses to neglect saying them. hank doesnt fully grasps what weight those words have, but sheriff does. to hank, âi love youâ is another way of expressing affection and it doesnt prefer it.
hank doesnt like to beat around the bush about things, dont get dodgy because this just makes the issue linger. so talk to me. what is it. dont be vague because i want to resolve it and get it done. theyre very direct and firm, it cuts at the foggy vagueness sheriff puts up as a mental safety net.
thats a fault in their situationship : communication.
sheriff doesnt like to âleave evidenceâ of his attachment, and because of it wont talk properly about what he wants ; it leaves hank to hunt him down for it. his dodginess is something hank has foot in the doorâd sheriff about, bluntly asking if he could knock that off in the most neutral way possible.
hey, did i mention that a huge appeal about them is âopposites attract.â
when they embrace, when they hug, to sheriff the cold clamminess of hankâs skin and body is so weirdly comforting, but to vocalize that is a confession. a shameful one, and he cant.
to hank, sheriffâs body is warm. firm, callous but lively. it doesnt say a lot about it, no flowery language but the expressed affection makes the body warmer.
hey man hows it going

A sequel to this. Recap: Sidekick ran away from Hero and went to a grumpy Detective.
*
Detective had given rides to a lot of weird people during the years.
Nervous clients, glancing by the windows to make sure they werenât followed. Sinister minions dressed in black, pointing a gun at him from the backseat. Smug rich people condescendingly explaining the world to him and getting out wrinkling their noses. A sulking Supervillain who was great with gadgets but terrible against a good punch. A Hero reacting like a six-year-old because they never rode in a car before, courtesy of having super speed and good public transport in their previous town, both wonders unheard of here.
Somehow, none of them had made him as nervous as the huddled teen in the backseat. It was a whole kid! How was he supposed to take care of that? Patting their head and saying âthere there, Iâm sure Hero only barely wanted to use you until your deathâ ? Talking about video games? Kids still liked video games, right? Pity heâd never played them. No, this wasnât good. He had to focus.
âDo you have some kind of power?â
The teen shrugged:
âI fly.â
âDo you like it?â
âI liked it before.â
âWhere are your parents?â
âThey live in another town. I told them I was going for a summer job. It was true. I thought it was true.â
âHero told you that?â
âYeah. They told me it would be only for a couple of months. And then, last week-â
âLast week?â
âThey congratulated me and told me I got the job for good. Told them I didnât want it, and-â
They waved:
âWell, here I am.â
âHere you are. Do your parents know?â
âNo. They donât even know the kind of job I had. I didnât want to worry them. And I donât want Hero going after them. They donât have powers.â
Detective sighed, tapping on the wheel.
âOkay.â
âWhere are we going?â
âTo a friend. Healer.â
The teen relaxed:
âI think I know them.â
Detective nodded. A lot of people knew about Healer. When things looked bad, people went to Detective. When things looked bad for him, he went to Healer.
They were a weird one. Although they had the power that went with their job, and they had the gaudy clothes â in their case, a long white gown that matched their long silver hair â they werenât a registered hero, but a regular doctor. The Hero association had approved at the condition that they only healed people with powers. Healer had agreed with a smile and kept healing whoever they wanted when the others were not looking. They were the very reason why Detective was alive in this crazy town. In fact, they were close to being friends. Healer wasnât only competent -they needed to be â but they were nice. He needed the reminder that people sometimes were.
The door was wide open. Too many doors were today.
âStay here.â
Detective got out of the car and stayed frozen on the doorway, looking at the body on the floor. Healer was wearing the same gaudy robe as usual, but it had been torn, enough to reveal a huge wound to their side. He didnât have to force himself to fall on the floor, applying pressure until the blood stopped. With a shaking hand, he checked their pulse. They sighed. Something moved behind them and let out a strangled noise. He didnât turn around. He should have known that Sidekick would have come inside anyway.
âWhat happened?â
Detective took off his jacket and folded it under Healerâs head, the only thing left to do for them.
âA very good question.â
Sidekick watched him rummage through the room with a kind of desperation, his hands clasping on anatomy books, notebooks, and the knob of a drawer that he opened feverishly to get one lollipop out of it. Sidekick tilted their head while he tore off the wrapping with teeth before putting the candy in his mouth like his life depended on it, but made no comment. During the last months, theyâd learned not to ask questions and stay close to the nearest exit when an adult was getting worked up. They looked at the window, just in case.
âDetectiveâŠâ
No answer. Just an adult flipping through the page of an agenda, mumbling to himself, then stopping suddenly.
âSupervillain? They made an appointment with Supervillain? What the hell?â
âWell, you have to give it to them,â said Sidekick with a voice that only slightly shivered, âtheyâre punctual.â
The adult and the teen looked at each other, looked for any kind of miracle exit, and found the same depressing number.
âTell me everything you know,â whispered Detective between his teeth.
âUm...wears purple...has a torture room somewhereâŠâ
âNot helping.â
âSuper-strengh? Doesnât understand the word ânoâ?â
There was no time to answer. The door opened. A cold wind that had nothing to do with the current weather settled in the room. A pair of eyes who rarely blinked glanced at the room, stopped for a whole minute on Healer, then went back on the only adult inside with the lollipop in his mouth. A hand grabbed his throat, propping him off the ground.
âYour death will be as slow and excruciating as possible.â
Itâs not easy to talk when you have the double handicap of a candy between your teeth and being strangled to death. Detective, however, made a good attempt:
âFdoza uill ever o oof.â
âIf you do that, you will never know the truth,â translated Sidekick, who was good with languages.
âThe truth?â repeated Supervillain. âIt seems clear to me, child.â
âBut we just got here,â mumbled the teen. âWe donât know what happened either.â
âThen what are you talking about?â snarled Supervillain to their prey.
Detective turned blue in answer. With a groan of disgust, Supervillain released him, letting him gracelessly collapse on the floor. After five minutes of coughing, spitting, and retching next to a sad lollipop, Detective could enunciate:
âFive minutes, only five... and we could have caught them.â
âWho, âthemâ?â
âYeah, that doesnât exclude a lot of people. Sometimes I think Iâm the only not non-binary person in town. Well anyway,â he added quickly as Supervillain was turning another color themself, âitâs easy to understand. Youâve just proved that you liked Healer.â
âEveryone liked them.â
âSo the killer obviously did it to spite you. Who could that be, if not Hero?â
âHero wouldnât-â began Supervillain.
âYou sure?â
There was a moment of silence. Of deep, thoughtful silence. Supervillainâs eyes fell on Sidekick. In a quick move, Detective stood up and went through the room to throw an arm around the teenâs shoulders:
âLook at them, the poor kid. They ran away, crying in my office, telling that Hero was planning something terrible but they didnât know what, we both risked our lives to come here, and this is what we found. The murderer is getting away right now, while weâre talking.â
Sidekick burst into tears. They didnât have to force themself very much. That was the last step to convince Supervillain.
âThis night, their head will be mine,â they said before leaving the room.
Sidekick kept crying, huddled against Detective.
âS-sorry,â they mumbled, sniffing.
Detective awkwardly patted their back, shaking his head in disgust:
âThatâs one gullible shithead. I swear, the more theyâre powerful, the more theyâre complete idiots.â
Gently, he pulled away from the embrace, sitting once again in front of Healer.
âDo you think Hero will win?â whispered Sidekick.
âDonât know, donât care. These bozos deserve each other.â
âShould I call an ambulance for Healer?â
Detective held two cold hands in his own, gently massaging them with his thumbs.
âI donât think so.â
âYou donât know who did that to them?â
âA bloody idiot,â snarled Detective. âLiterally. You can open your eyes now, itâs safe.â
Sidekick repressed a move when Healer blinked and frowned.
âSorryâ, they whispered, their voice nearly inaudible. âI really didnât want to deal with them.â
âOh, and the only way was playing dead?â
As they were arguing, Sidekick noticed that blood wasn't coming out from the wound anymore. In fact, it had turned into a scratch. That was surprising how a stressful situation could prevent you from realizing that a Healer was, indeed, a healer. Detective shook his head and helped them to sit up.
âThat was on the spur,â whispered Healer. âThey wouldnât leave me alone, soâŠâ
âSince when?â
Healer shrugged. Detective groaned:
âYou have my number. Why didnât you tell me? Thatâs my job to...â
âYouâre busy enough.â
Detective squeezed their shoulders, twisting his mouth and grunting:
âYou think Iâd rather see you dead? Do you see me bleeding to death before calling you ?â
âMany times.â
âWell, Iâm not exactly a role model, am I ?â
Healer shrugged lightly, as if to give him this one, then gave the room a side-look:
âWhoâs your friend?â
âThatâs a long story. I suggest that everybody gets in a car first. And fast.â

@oflietoprotect
I know you didn't, Jay... Honestly, I didn't want me to get hurt either, but I also didn't want you to get hurt, so although none of this is ideal or planned either for that matter, I am relieved that you're okay. {I admitted. It was the truth though... My head and my heart definitely weren't in sync in that moment, because in the choice between fight or flight, I always pictured myself as the flight side of things. Well, either that or to lay low and hide until the bullets stopped flying. All that to say, I couldn't explain it but my heart just reacted when I saw Jay in danger; not giving my brain the chance to stop me first. Jay was safe, yes, and for that, I was relieved, yet not only did I get hurt physically in the process of that, but my heart got broken too by Jay's reaction to it, which really sucked. My eyes widened slightly in a hint of surprise when I heard Jay's apology... Wow, I definitely didn't see that coming. Jay tended to veer more on the stubborn side of his pain in the ass tendencies, so I figured he'd continue to scold me more about my reckless decision. Needless to say, I was relieved to be wrong in this instance} Jay, I did hear what you had to say at the hospital... I understand why you were upset with me, but I can't explain it really when I say, I wasn't trying to be reckless. I mean, trust me when I say, that wasn't meant to be some superhero moment I was trying to channel there... It just happened. I'm not a hero or even brave. Hell, I figured in a fight or flight moment, I'd be either taking flight and getting as far away as possible, or even hiding from the gun fire. I just reacted the way I did because it was you in danger... My heart reacted before my brain had the chance to get a say in it, I guess... I really don't know. What I do know though is thinking I had lost you hurt me more than the aftermath of my gunshot wounds. {I quietly admitted before further confessing something I hadn't told anyone yet} I can't tell Mouse this, but I don't know how I'm going to continue running the bar, Jay... Every time that bell over the door chimes, I feel myself freeze in fear. I'm scared here all the time, and I hate it. I feel so weak and I hate that feeling. {I aired out with a sigh} How do you do it, Jay? How do you get past stuff like this?
Continued
@singswhendrunk
Let your guard down; for one night Jay wanted to escape the long cases heâs been working. The workload was heavy. Heâd been in day and night attached to his desk working on each lead, working on signing off on each document we needed to more ahead. But tonight I was told to go home; to rest. And instead of being safely in my bed; I was here at the bar across town. Not because I needed a drink or perhaps two to get the edge off. But because I wanted to see Gia. I wanted to see her smile; hear her sense of humor. We helped each other, but it did develop into more.Â
I had feelings and I made my shot; all jokes aside, I had found the balls to make my move; even going as far to stand up on a stage and sing with her. I was terrified but not as terrified when I heard those familiar shots; bullets flying. I wasnât wearing a vest, I wasnât wearing protective gear because why should I? I was off the clock, I assumed our case was closed. But Gia she got stuck in the crossfire because of me. Jay felt the guilt rolling off him; he knew she was hurt; the rapid way her breathing was coming, the lost of blood now pooling on the stage floor.Â
I was scared for her. I felt at fault; if only I had gone home perhaps the suspect wouldnât of tracked me down to the bar. Gia was fighting for her life because of me. I didnât have time to think over the what ifs, or the guilt that was reeling off of me. My main concern was her; I had my hand pressed to her wound. Until the second Brett and Violet had arrived, the gurney in play; as they helped me lift her onto the gurney. Shaking palms bloody; not mine. I barely felt like I was able to walk on my own. Her calling my name before she went unconscious; thatâs why I forced myself to be okay. In shock wobbly legs walked from the stage to the entrance doors.. Once a happy place full of music and now I felt like the laughs were wasted. I just wanted to make sure Gia fought this fight and woke up. But given her lack of blood; I had the gut wrecking feeling in the pit of my stomach.Â
Upon reaching the ambulance; I knew Voight would have questions; ones I was prepared to answer at a later time. Hands shaking as I lowered myself down onto the spot besides the gurney where Brett had put an oxygen mask over her face to help with the shallowed breathing, she also was attempting to stop the bleeding, she had injected her to palm the brunette down a bit. Swallowing the lump that formed in my throat; the male had leaned closer, pressing a hand to her pale hand; thumb tugged under to fingers. â Iâll be here when you wake up okay.â A promise to myself and her. I just hoped Violet picked it up.Â
Sirens rang through the streets; no one could blame Violet was rushing; eyes were glued to the stats on the machine; it wasnât great, but her pulse was still running strong. A sign of relief as I heard Violet call back. â Prepare to be ready, doctors are outside ready for us.â Ready for us; prepared; I hoped Will was on board; as the doors opened I had noticed Maggie, and the other members of the ED as they started to roll her inside. I stepped outside feeling the brush of the breeze hit my back; I stood there; releasing my hand from hers; she was rushed inside.Â
What if I had spoken sooner? Or was it just the wrong place at the wrong time..

You ever just see a Mouthwashing take that makes you want to bang your head into a wall? I literally just saw someone claim Curly couldn't have been emotionally abused by Jimmy before the crash because he was in a higher position of power than Jimmy.
-Shrimp Anon
The mouthwashing fandom has shown me that people genuinely do believe that certain types of abuse are not as detrimental as other types especially when they deem those immune/resistant, ergo, believing one is objectively worse no matter how it affects the person nor the intersections of power, history and dynamics at play.
Get ready cause this is a yap session:
Cause like it's heavily implied that Curly and Jimmy's friendship was toxic and abusive, pointedly in the direction of how Jimmy uses Curly's belief/comfort in him. Curly wasn't forced to enable Jimmy but he was emotional and mentally on edge around him in almost every scene in some way. Mental and emotional abuse are not contingent on what positions you have at work. Yeah, he's Jimmy's boss but he was Jimmy's friend first and it's like getting into Psych discussion to talk about how social power tends to overshadow any perceived organizational power in the human mind. People are concerned about their jobs ofc but they tend to hang onto and put more value/investment into their personal relationships, hence why there tends to be laws and restrictions around mixing the two.
I always see the sentiments that "Curly is a grown ass man", "Curly is bigger than Jimmy", "Curly is Jimmy's boss", "He just needed a backbone" as criticisms of Curly and while I do agree that on the surface level all of these to be true and viable ways Curly could've taken more control of the situation, I often look at the parallels of Anya and Curly as victims of Jimmy pre/post crash.
The way Jimmy talks to Anya post crash is how he talked to Curly in the pre-crash segments. It's hard to pin-point mainly because we know he hates and wants nothing to do with Anya compared to his contrary but similarly handled obsessions with Curly. It's a weird sort of "honey-moon" effect of abuse Jimmy does in terms of emotional and mental victimization. He is always horrid to Anya, always talking down or questioning her abilities and thoughts in a situation, this of course includes the harassment and assault. However, he has a moment of attempted gentleness/conditioning when he question her about the mouthwash when she's contemplating drinking it at the table. The key difference is he has no personal investment in Jimmy outside wanting nothing to do with him, meaning there is no sort of romanticized version of him that he can condition her off of. He knows this, hence, why he always reverts to trying to make her to scared to oppose him.
This sort of give and take of "kindness" doesn't work on her because she knows he is just doing it to take more from her than whatever he could possibly give but it reflects even the "softer" scenes between him and Curly where he always rewords or rephrases Curly's sentiments and concerns to sound more shallow. He is feigning a deeper understanding by reworking Curly's emotions into something bad and needing to be hidden. Everything is laced with envy and resentment, an outburst just around the corner, I mean he even slams the table in the birthday party scene, a tactic in emotional manipulation to set the victim on edge and cloud their ability to respond. Even if Curly knows Jimmy won't get physical in that moment, the physical actions is intended to make him back down in the confrontation in case it does. This is something that is just not person specific. It ingrains itself into how you interact with the world and life and it shows in major and minor ways with Curly.
Post-crash, the abusive nature is more in tandem to the physical victimization Anya went through and the stripping of voice and autonomy we see take place. Like the parasite in HFIM, Jimmy speaks for Curly most of the time and puts words in his mouth, similarly to how he takes Anya's plans as his own. He very commonly, with the both of them mind you, supplements the worst aspects of himself into them; pettiness, selfishness, lack of understanding... And tries to cover himself with their best qualities; kindness, planning, initiative, etc...
These parallel are just to say that positional power has little to do with if a person can be abused and how it can even be flipped to further the abuse. There is no doubt that Curly could've picked up on Jimmy's envy of his position hence another reason he never confronted him as a Captain but as a friend as doing so would immediately put Jimmy in a space to be confrontational/combative.
I think the disdain some people have when they talk about the heavily implied if not implicitly stated emotional/mental abuse Curly experienced being Jimmy's friend is when treating it as an excuse to why he didn't do more. I can understand that completely because it is not an excuse to why he didn't do more but is a very real reason people in his position in these scenarios can experience whether in the context of a work or social environment. However, I also think the way people talk about it really does demonstrate a bigger problem when talking about abuse when somehow who is/was abused is either part of the issue or enabled it.
Harkening back to the sentiments about Curly's inaction regarding Jimmy, I think the exact phrases I used/have seen show how there is an inherent belief that it is easier to overpower the effects of emotional/mental abuse that go in tandem with the perception of Curly as someone who should be able to. There is not an age you suddenly stop being susceptible to abuse nor a set point or low where you realize how it has affected you. You don't suddenly know to stand up or put a face on to face your abuser nor admit that you inadvertently enabled them to subjugate someone else to the same treatment. Maybe it's my psych brain but their is this growing belief that direct action is somehow easy or always the best method with the game shows you instances where it is not always the case. In real life that rings true too. He should have done more, but it's not impossible to see why he struggled to find a way or didn't even if it makes us mad.
It's not easy to suddenly gain a "back-bone". You don't immediately want to resort to aggression, especially if it mirrors the type you were a victim to. You don't want to believe you allowed yourself to be treated this bad, let it get that bad or allowed something bad to happen to someone else. It is easy to be in denial, to retreat to your thoughts or make excuses to avoid the painful truth. It's frustrating but in a way we know is relatable. It why we both hate and love Curly for it. We know we'd be better, we think we'd be better, we like to think we wouldn't falter in the same ways but it's always easier to say that from the outside looking in. It's easy to see what he was doing wrong because we are seeing it, not him, but the game really does make you picture what you would do if this was your raw reality and it's why this debate about Curly seems so never ending/contradictory. We can all say what we'd do but bottom line is that's much different when you're in the moment with all the emotions and human feelings attached.
I personally think Mouthwashing tackles the themes of rape culture, enabling, toxic masculinity, types of abuse and patriarchy in ways that are meant to deconstruct the typical straightforward views we mostly have of these concepts and how little subtilities of them are just as, if not more, detrimental than the overt/obvious parts. The game deals with the idea of little details and bigger picture in a way to show that sometimes the bigger picture is not the issue but the little details that make it up. It's why I have a personal dislike of depictions of Jimmy as the typical horrible person who would of course do something like this because the game is about noticing the little warning signs, the foreshadowing and foresight.
It's why I dislike the typical discussion of "bro code" and "boys will be boys" for the game because the game makes a point to avoid the standard depictions of such. It is about the type of men who still enable despite not condoning, agreeing or even perpetuating harmful beliefs because they can't see the little details or the ways it seeps into their everyday. The severity is not obvious to them as it was not obvious to Curly, Swansea or even Daisuke the way it was to a woman like Anya. There are little details about Jimmy that should ring alarms but if you are too naive like Daisuke, too distant like Swansea or too conditioned like Curly, they are just off markers.
There is 100% more constructive/concise ways to say "Curly was a victim of Jimmy's abuse on an emotional and mental aspect that clouded his judgements and perceptions in the scenario" while also critiquing on the side of "Curly still had a responsibility to protect Anya as a crew mate and Captain that he failed to do due to biases and stigma's he failed to surpass" without the weird condemnation people give him about should've knowing better than to let himself be manipulated by a person he considered a close, if not family/best-friend and had his own reasons to trust initially. Also stop being weird about victims of abuse in general with this fandom, like sorry not everyone has a like social epiphany the moment someone's nasty to them. People are treating it like you immediately know when you are in a toxic relationship immediately or comprehend when a person is actively dangerous and either it's your fault for not knowing how to leave/cut them off or you deserve it. Like the hypocrisy of people believing how certain fans treat the story reflect their irl views but not their own is crazy.
End statement is: I honestly don't even know man, I've been writing this too long and just like no man on that ship was perfect or really helped Anya when it mattered and I feel like pitting them against each other in discussion on who did the least or most or how it was justified sucks cause in the end Anya always did the most and best thing for herself.
#i also think it is because mouthwashing is first and foremost a game about rape culture and the patriarchy especially in work spaces#regarding women and centering conversation around Curly a man rubs people wrong because it does overshadow that commentary#but it still mixes other topics into its initial theming and message on how abuse conditions you to accept certain things that are harmful#and how getting used to a culture/enviornment does not mean you are happy healthy or most importantly safe in it. I personally like to#explore those aspects where it mixes all the themes so we can discuss the ways you have to watch out for things because there is a differen#in the idea Curly enabled Jimmy just because they were bros and because he was an example of another man afraid to step out from what#is a still oppressive system that does try to punish those who act against it even if they fall in the category of those who would benefit#from it as Jimmy and PE 100% represent that sort of misogynistic system where men that would be âgoodâ are altered until they follow line#in a way both on the personal and professional level as PE is the corporate lock out and Jimmy represents the social and its just the issue#that the discussion of it sounds like âin defense of menâ when I am more so trying to discuss how it is much deeper than men being scared t#upset other men but complacency is rewarded by not becoming another person subjugated hence as all the moments Curly does try to do#something we can tie it back to how Jimmy reacts and a possible penality from PE where we now need to address the ways to combat those#two concepts so we dont get cases like Curly or Daisuke or Swansea where male avoidance of the issue is considered neutral or even good.#i think most of this boils down the perfect victim mentality to where if someone who underwent or is being abused is not a perfect example#or accpetible type than their abuse can not be considered a valid or substantial reason for effects on their behavior compounded with the#fact that Anya's abuse at the hands of Jimmy is a systematic issue that Curly is a part of even if unwillingly and was more physically#violating and topical cause sometimes i have to remind myself that all media is still critiqued through the lens of the culture it came out#in cause i do think about what if this game came out inlike 2014 like the conversations would be sooooooo different could you imagine it?#but back the before statement Curly isn't perfect but I feel like boiling it down if hes a good person or man is not the point of the game#but more so good people can still be part of the problem and the idea of condemning a person for one act creates a false sense of#rightouesness and justice that does not aid the victim and in fact aids the abusers in escaping blame for their mulitple behaviors as we se#how the men on the ship tend to blame Jimmy for just one act against them including himself while there is a plethora of things Anya is#concerned about with Jimmy#and its not that Curly just made one mistake with Jimmy but more so we consider his actions more damning because he didn't stop Jimmy#instead of focusing on the fact Jimmy did what he did regardless of Curly and the consequence because we already know he's bad n maladjuste#which is problem in the conversation where the individuals are blamed but the system and perputrator are overlooked in a sense of acceptiab#complacency as we know how they are and the lack of tangibility to personally affect them on a larger scale like I should just make a post#on like cutting out the face when it comes it confronting systems of oppression rather than tag talking but just ask me to clarify if#you want that like im jus trying to say we avoid talking about Jimmy and PE so much cause it is obvious what they do wrong that we make#the initial and inherent problem out to be one aspect someone in this case Curly does and the the constraints they use to force actions

FAMINE: That's one deep, dark nothing you've got there, Dean.
[youtube with closed captions]
dean and his father. dean and his family. dean and how bad it is.
(via @closetoyou1970)
#spn#vid#mind the warnings on this one for real#woe! fruit of my rewatch be upon ye.#pallas calls this my 'deangirl coming out vid' which honestly. true. but those who paid attention know i've always been a deangirl.#also. after this no more deanwinchester rilo kiley amvs I Pwomise#anyway. i'm not gonna give a full commentary here but a big reason why i chose this song is that the narrator#is essentially dismissing her own problems and instead watching the problems of someone else#and i kind of wanted to play with that theme. this is the parallels show so let's do some parallels. lots of things happen to characters#that are Like Dean somehow. either in personality or circumstance. that we know or can infer happen to him. but we don't see it bc it's#not sayable. not speakable. so like for an easy one. we see meg being tortured in caged heat. she also talks about apprenticing under#alastair just like dean. so i show her being tortured [in a way that is sexualized and demon-specific] and reacting how she does#because i invite the audience to imagine or interpret that this has also happened to dean at some point. we just don't see it#so there are many dean parallels in this video. some obvious. some subtle but textual. some products of my twisted mind. but that's the way#i am using them to make my argument.#oh also: dean voice sam's eyes going black is JUST like when he used to fight with dad and wouldn't listen to me when i told him not to.#i guess also the point is that because it's unsayable. dean can't say it. dean can't even acknowledge it. and so it bleeds through#into everything in his life#that's why it's important that the song narrator doesn't take her own problems seriously. dean doesn't either.
