Would you go out with me...? (ft.Bllk man)

Context: How would they ask you out and where.

A/n: sooo this is an idea from @dazailoveschuuya, so shout out to them🤲🏻🙏🏻 BUT i hope everyone likes it!!

Warnings: none

Pairings: Isagi, Bachira, Rin, Reo, Nagi, Chigiri

Loading...

Isagi Yoichi

Isagi would be nervous at first. He would repeat his speech for like half an hour before he actually goes to ask you out. Then he messes it up. He is such a loser outside of football, but you love him. Would have the biggest smile on his face when you say yes tho, like he's 'Really?!?!'. Like please✋ He would take you somewhere simple like a cafè or a walk in the park. It's cliche, but it's cute. You two talk during the whole time and after that he walks you back home. Would gently try to interlock his fingers with yours while walking, to see if you'll allow him to. Don't say anything, just hold his hand.

Bachira Meguru

Bachira is straightforward. He would walk up in your personal space with his usual smile and ask you right up. Would be very happy when you say yes, but then when you ask him where you two actually are going, when you should be ready, he doesn't know. He stops right away, because he didn't think that far. Then, would just ask where you want to go and if you have preferences for anything. Not exactly holding your hand, more of like jumping on you. Doesn't matter where you are or what you're doing. In the end he would ask to do it again like tomorrow.

Rin Itoshi

Oh poor guy doesn't have any idea how to ask you out. Would most likely leave a note in your locker or on your desk, because he is not that afraid you'll reject him. When you walk up to him with the note in your hand he is shaking. But when you say yes, he's relieved. Would tell you to the stadium late in the evening when there is no one there and it's almost dark. You would be kind of confused at first on why he is taking you there, but then he would point to the reddish sky in front of you two. The sunset. It's so beautiful. You sit on the ground of the stadium talking and watching the sky.

Reo Mikage

Now Reo is confident. He's got the looks, the intelligence, the athletics, the money ahem what was that? He believes in himself and straight up ask you during one the breaks between the classes. When you say yes, he is fast. He quickly rumbles when he'll pick you up and how to dress and is already on his way. When the time comes, he picks you up with a car with a driver, taking you somewhere fancy, to like a restaurant for just the two of you. You two talk all evening and then he pays, ofc. Get you back home and walks you to you to your door, like the proper gentleman. Would try or not anything depending on how open you are to it. Holding hands, etc.

Nagi Seishiro

Nagi is honestly...well Nagi. He isn't nervous, he didn't plan it, he just goes for it. If you say yes, perfect. Don't expect much from him. Asks you out on day and doesn't tell you anything more until you see a text for you to come to his house. When you do, you lay in bed, talking about whatever comes to mind. Obviously, playing video games, whether that be on the laptop, or on the phones. He explains it to you as much as he can actually. There is a chance that both of you fall asleep on his bed. He wouldn't intentionally try anything, but would without realizing. Like, taking your hand while explaining, leaning a little on you, etc.

Chigiri Hyoma

Now, if you read his trivia, it says that he once rejected more than half of his class. So he has an idea that you might like him, still is a little nervous. Asks you out by passing you a note during a class. You turn it back with the answer yes on it. He texts you after school when and the address of the place. Two days later, you two meet up in front of the place. Most likely a spa center or something similar. You two just talk while your hair is being washed and laugh. The staff knows what's happening, trust me. Walks you to your house after and compliments you.

Repeat that for Daddy...

Okay, walk with me on this one: you and Toji are lying on the bed enjoying the acts of "coupling", and you accidentally call him "daddy"? Obviously, it was a slip-up in the heat of the moment, but unfortunately, it's Toji. He won't stop until you say what you just said.

A/n: I'm totally not writing this to compensate for the fact I haven't posted pt ii of the assassin duo toji x reader drabble yet :) Which tysm for 500+ notes btw!!! Please enjoy this while I finish that fic for y'all~~

Cw: dom! Toji x fem! reader - fingering (fem! receiving) - daddy kink (it's an awakening for Toji) - pet names (baby, darlin', good girl, mama, sweetheart, sweetie) - praise - clitoral play (Toji pinches your clit bc he's a bastard) - pussy slaps (2x) - a bit of comedy.

Wc: 893

One of Toji's favorite things to do when you two are relaxing in the confines of your home is cuddling with you. It was a foreign thing you introduced to him in the early stages of your relationship, but now he likes to do it when the chance is present.

Having your body close to him tells him that you see him as a dependable figure and that you feel safe in his presence. Which he cherishes deeply. And it's a guilty pleasure when you let him have his hands roam your body.

And it's even more of a guilty pleasure when you let him play with your pussy.

The lewd sounds of Toji's fingers messing with your pussy and your ecstatic moans fill the bedroom, the television volume stationed low so he can focus on your face and expressions.

"Mmmm, Toji, A-Ahhh!."

He's lying on his side with his head resting on his hand, facing your squirming body with his forefinger and middle finger in your slit. You lay on your back next to him, gripping his shirt to the point his midriff shows.

"I'm here, baby," Toji kisses your forehead, trailing down to your neck and shoulder. "I'm right here."

He loves it when you're like this, being in this intimate space where you trust him to do as he pleases with your body. He wants to listen to your mewls and gasps because they're the sweetest sounds he's ever heard. Your watery, half-lidded eyes look up at him, the man who makes you appear so disarranged with his touch.

Toji loves moments like this, loves being with you, loves you.

"Feelin' good, darlin'?" He asks, kissing your collarbone where he'll definitely leave a mark for you to find later on. "You're doin' so well fr' me."

"Haaaaah, yes, yesss," you hiss, biting your bottom lip when Toji's thumb faintly brushes on your clit. His thick fingers scrape the velvety walls of your cunt at a lovingly slow pace that has you inching toward a climax.

"Oh God, Tojiii, I'm going to— Ahaaa!!" You're so close to coming, almost there. "I wanna cum on your fingers, Daddy..."

Toji's kisses are halted, his fingers freeze inside your slick-coated vulva, and even you stay still with wide eyes staring up at the bedroom ceiling. White noise from the television substitutes the silence.

Toji brings his face up to look at you, and your eyes move to the side, trying to find anything to look at except the deep forest green eyes drilling into your face.

"What did you say, sweetie?"

You act innocent. "Huh?"

Toji smirks. "If you can 'huh,' you can hear. You said somethin'. What did you say?

"Uhh, I said I wanna chow on some chicken fingers, darling."

"That's not what you said. And we ate two hours ago."

"T-True!" You squeak, squeezing around Toji"s digits. He raises a brow, his smirk still confidently plastered on his face. "But I know how much you have a big appetite, and who can say no to dinosaur-shaped nugge- Eyyaaah!!!"

It happened so quickly; Toji's fingers exit your tight opening and pinch your clitoris, applying pressure between his thumb and forefinger. The abrupt action has you screaming, and all Toji does is snicker.

"Don't play with me, sweetheart," he says to your ear in his guttural tone. A hearty laugh seethes through his lips when you jerk up from the impact of his hand slapping your pussy. You shed a single tear, and Toji snaps a mental picture. Another slap, another cry. "What's my new name, baby?"

"D-Daddy!!" You swallow the drool pooling in your mouth before choking on it. Pain stinging on the poor swollen lips of your vagina from the cruel treatment, your mind feels foggy. The feeling of regret clouds your thoughts, wondering why you let that word out. And worse, giving the title to a man with an ego bigger than anyone you've ever known. I should've kept my mouth shut...

But you can't deny the puddle that's leaking through your cunt.

Toji grins hard, his scar rooted upwards for his teeth to flash with the light coming from the TV. "Good girl." His fingers snake back into your folds, and you whimper into his touch as his digits go faster than before. "Can you call me that again, mama?"

"Mmmph!! Daddyyy, too fast, 's too fa— Oohhh!!" You grip his shirt again, finding support close to him. Your pants and breathing feel so heavy you nearly choke.

"Gonna cum, baby?" You nod rapidly. He loves when you're desperate. "Go ahead, cum on Daddy, darlin'." His thumb then moves directly to your clit, pushing and grinding down on it, and that was it for you.

You cream around his fingers, walls clenching down on him as your legs wobble in ecstasy. Tears stream down your eyes as you finish your orgasm.

Toji's fingers finally withdraw once your spasm ends, and strings of your fluids stick to him like honey. "Good job, mama," he puts the fingers in his mouth and licks them, deep groans as he's sucking in your essence. He then kisses your lips, giving you a taste of yourself as you exchange tongues.

Toji departs from your plump lips, cocking his head with a small smile. "You outta call me that more often, starting to like it."

What's your ideal type?

Summary: What would be the best traits for their potential partner to have?

A/N: I didn't want to leave Lilia out of the series even though I only write platonic relationships with him, so I wrote about his ideal friend instead. Enjoy!

Characters: Diasomnia dorm (Malleus, Sebek, Silver) x GN!Reader (separate, romantic), Lilia and GN!Reader (platonic)

Other parts of the series: Heartslabyul, Savanaclaw, Octavinelle, Scarabia, Pomefiore, Ignihyde

Warnings: none

-ˋˏ’✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

Malleus' ideal type would be...

Someone who playfully teases him. Malleus can be quite a tease himself, and enjoys seeing people squirm under his playful eyes. While he knows how it feels to be at the receiving end of that treatment thanks to Lilia, he'd still get surprised if you reciprocate.

Someone who can see beauty in the desolate. Being the goth king-to-be that he is, Malleus' tastes tend to gravitate towards darker aesthetics: abandoned buldings, antiques, vintage paintings and furniture, gargoyles... He can't help but be slightly upset when people mistake a grotesque for a gargoyle, but he's amazed when you correct them before he gets to.

Someone who can enjoy grand gestures. It's possible it is a byproduct of him being a prince, but Malleus and words such as "subtle" or "small" are from different worlds. He just wants to shower you with the best offerings to show his attention. Maybe his desire to put valuables with you is because dragons tend to hoard treasure?

Someone who isn't afraid to call him out on things. Malleus is many things: powerful, wise, capable and kind. But he's also stubborn, prideful and has a tendency to do things first and ask later. When he unintentionally crosses your boundaries, tell him. When he plans to do something before asking, tell him. Don't be his yes man. He'll respect you immensely for calling him out. After all, you ability to treat him like any other student is what drew him to you in the first place.

『••✎••』

Lilia's ideal friend would be...

Someone who appreciates cooking. Lilia is a creative person, and it really shows in his cooking (for better or for worse). While eating his food is... a bit of a challenge, your interest would not go unnoticed. Who knows, maybe enough interest would have him allow you join him for a cooking session! A perfect opportunity to stop him from being too creative.

Someone who can take his jokes and pranks. What can I say, Lilia loves having a good laugh, even if sometimes comes at the expense of pulling a prank or two. While harmless, his pranks can be annoying. Take them on as a challenge, and you'll never find your slippers again, or you will have all of your mugs laid on your kitchen floor face down once every 17 mornings. Depends on you if you find that fun or not.

Someone who gets along with Silver and Malleus. His sons are his pride and joy, no matter what. While Lilia knows that sometimes people just don't fit well together, he can recognise effort when he sees it. If you want that spot at the dinner table, you have to get along with his family first.

Someone who can still love the world, despite any hardships. Lilia has lived on this earth for long and faced heartbreak after heartbreak, uncertainty and grief. His healing is not over, and that's okay. He'll appreciate you talking to him about how the would doesn't suck that badly after all.

『••✎••』

Sebek's ideal type would be...

Someone who respects Malleus and Lilia. If you want any chance of even getting along with Sebek, you have to pay your respects to two of the people he respects the most. While you don't have to kiss the ground they walk on, a few nods of approval during Sebek's endless speeches about their glory and superiority would not go unnoticed.

Someone who likes praising him. I'm not saying Sebek is easily swayed by praise, but he'd be joyous to hear how well he's doing. He's a dedicated guard with perfect scores at school and a will strong enough to move mountains. While the praise directed at him would be something he's not really accustomed to, he'd stop trying to redirect the praise towards Malleus soon enough.

Someone who challenges him. Sebek is not the most agreeable person, but he's always open to learning and improving himself. He's just very, very stubborn. You don't have to dismantle his whole ideology about humans or anything like that. Instead, just give him the puzzle pieces: he'll enjoy the challenge to figure out your thought process while trying to prove you wrong. Whatever the outcome is, Sebek will always come out of the other side with a newfound respect for you.

Someone who can teach him how to be gentle. Yes, Sebek is loud, extra and arrogant. But, above all, he wants to do right by his loved ones. If you can teach him how to come from a place of compassion and genuine goodwill instead of having him default on his aggresive demeanor, he'd be quite amazed with you. His job was never to be kind and gentle, but he can still be those things while protecting the people around him. He'll treasure everything you'll teach him, and he'll hold you in his heart close to his idols.

『••✎••』

Silver's ideal type would be...

Someone who respects Malleus and Lilia. While Silver is not the type to sing their praises during every moment of the day, he respects his liege and his father more than anything. He can't have someone disrespect two of the most important people in his life. It's the bare minimum for him if you want him to pay you any mind.

Someone who is earnest. Silver is a kind and sweet boy. His help and advice are always genuine. His dedication to protect the people he loves come from a desire to pay back the goodwill of the people in his life. He might not notice when people don't have the most genuine intentions, but he can tell when you are a nice person, especially to the people around him. His wariness will quickly dwindle, and he will warm up to you in no time.

Someone who knows when to nudge him awake and when to let him sleep. Silver dislikes how often he falls asleep during the day, and has a lot of guilt from not being to stay awake. He really takes note of how people react when he falls asleep near them or when they wake him up. Even though he still feels very helpless against his curse, if you still treat him just the same then he'd feel the littlest bit less guilty about it.

Someone who shows him he's enough. Above all else, Silver believes in paying back the kindness he has received from the world. He works very hard, harder than needed. Sometimes he needs to be sat down and told that he is doing enough. He is enough. It will not change his hard working nature overnight, but acknowledging his efforts sure makes him feel like he's going in the right direction.

[hyunjilicious]

for hyunjin: hair pulling or slapping?

Warnings: smut, unprotected sex, slapping, sub!Hyunjin (im sorry im going through a phase), mentions of other things like hair pulling, cum, edging, oral. Not edited. It's a chill one, but still 18+ PLS!! 900 words

I feel like he's not into them perse, I think he's just very intense, so depending on the situation, he loves both. He'd be above you, balls deep inside your cunt, one hand holding onto your shoulder for support as he thrusts into you, the other hand - sweaty and clenched around your roots, keeping him grounded and keeping your head in place so you face him at all times.

One thing I do see him being into is having his hands tied above his head as you ride him. He's mostly quiet - he's bad with words when he's in this state, but he doesn't shy away from moaning and whimpering, softly crying out your name with each closed loop you perform on his cock.

There are days he'll take it with little effort, enjoy the ride and the view, smirking, grinning and praising you every chance he gets. But there are also days, like this one, where he's completely spent. He's a mess, tears rolling down his temples as his back arches, the muscle of his arms straining against the cuffs on his wrists. And you, like the good girlfriend you are, always know exactly what he needs.

"Come on, baby, look at me" you coo, bending down to caress his cheek before trailing your hand down his heaving chest and tight abdomen. "Look at me"

His eyes fly open and so does his mouth - he's desperate, but obeys you nonetheless. "Angel-" he cries, fighting against the pleasure that's about to take over his body, "I'm gonna-"

"No, not yet" you cut him off and slow down, causing his cock to twitch between your walls. "Not yet, my love. Wait for me, ok?"

"I- I can't… I-"

"Please, be good for me. I know you can, I know" you lower yourself so you can whisper against his lips. "You're so good, you did so well for me, my love, a bit more, just a bit more, ok?"

"I can't…"

"Yes, you can" you counter and kiss his jawline, the minimal movement of your body causing enough friction against his cock that his eyes squeeze shut. "Don't be like this" you warn, but he doesn't respond. 

But he isn't the only one that can play games, so when you push yourself up and resume riding him, just as a sigh of relief leaves his lips, you slap his cheek - not hard enough to sting, but hard enough to make him thrust his hips up into you. "Fuck" he pants, "Do that again"

"Are you going to hold on for me?"

"I'll try-"

"Not good enough" you pout and slap his cheek again, earning a pained whimper from him. "Don't make be mean to you"

"Ruin me" he cries, "Do whatever you want with me, break me. Please"

Whether he did it on purpose or not, you'll never know, but it did work, bringing you to the point where he wasn't the only one struggling to keep it together anymore. You pick up your pace, your hands gripping his chest for support as you ride him with all the energy you have left in your thighs. "Baby?" you call for him.

"Please… I can't anymore… I can't… Can- can I please cum?"

"Yes, my love. Please" you respond and let your hair fall over your face as you guide him to and over the edge. 

His entire body tightens for a second, his head thrown back. "Fuck, Y/n!" he screams, his overly stimulated cock coating your walls as you keep going, riding all through his high and until you reach yours too, mere seconds later. 

When you collapse by his side, the first thing you do once you catch your breath is cling to his neck and kiss his cheek, guilt suddenly sinking in. "I'm sorry I did that, I should've asked before, I-"

"No, no, no, don't apologize" he breathes and struggles to roll a bit to the side so he could sloppily kiss your lips. "That was the hottest thing-" he kisses you again, "You need to do that more often"

"Are you serious?"

"One hundred percent." Hyunjin nods. "But harder"

"Harder!?"

"Did my cheek even turn red?"

You study his face for a second. "I can't tell. You're all red"

"Fucking slap me harder next time" he sighs and falls back into his spot as you crawl to the nightstand to get the keys for the handcuffs. 

"Only if you slap me too"

He blinks for a second, rubbing the sore spot on his wrists. "I'll see what I can do"

"Please?" you pout. "The next time I'm sucking you off. Grab my hair, pull my head back, slap me, and then shove your cock back down my throat"

"Oh my god" he cries out loud and hides his face behind his hands. "How can you just say stuff like that? And with a smile on your face!?"

"Is that bad? You don't wanna do it?"

"Fuck yes I wanna do it!" he shakes his head, "Shit, I'm getting hard again"

Your eyes sparkle at the words. "Can we do it now?"

"Give me a minute" he says but also nods, and then wraps his arms around your body, "I'm spent"

"I need to wash up anyway, I can feel your cum leaking out of me"

With a giggle, Hyunjin presses your thighs together. "What do you mean wash up? Keep it there, I worked hard for it"

"Of course you did" you laugh and kiss him.

Firing on All Cylinders

Week #16 Prompt: Concert & Rain | Word Count: 3000 | Rating: T | POV: Jeff | Characters: Jeff, Goodie (Freak), Gareth, Steve, Eddie | Relationships: Jeff & Goodie, Background Steddie, Mentions of Previous Gareth/Di (OC) | CW: Language, Mentions of Previous Addiction | Tags: AU, Famous Corroded Coffin, 1990s, On Tour, Slice of Life, Jeff and Goodie are Best Friends Who Talk About The Problems of Their Other Friends, Rain Show, Road Manager Steve Harrington, Eddie Loves His Guitar and This Rain is a Real Problem

June 8, 1995

"Looks like real rain today," Jeff says, standing in front of the hotel window. 

It's really fucking coming down here in Tulsa, so much so that Jeff can't really see much beyond the edge of the windowsill. 

As his dad would say, it's going and blowing.

"Rain? You think?" Goodie says, then adds, "What gave it away? The torrential downpour?" 

Jeff laughs. Asshole.

They've been lucky so far and haven't ever had to play in the rain, at least not rain like is forecasted for tonight, but that's clearly gonna end today. 

"It's basically a hundred percent chance all day long," Goodie says from the couch, less snarky this time. He's reading the morning paper that had been dropped off at their room door. 

Jeff rests his forehead against the cool glass, contemplating everything that is bound to go wrong tonight, now.

"This is gonna be a problem," Jeff finally announces, still looking at the sheets of rain hitting the windowsill.

"No fucking shit," Goodie answers, "Eddie's gonna be a real pain in the ass about that precious guitar of his."

Jeff nods, because Eddie is undoubtedly going to be exactly that, "I'm gonna call Tim. See if we can head this off at the pass."

And he picks up the room phone, scans the contact sheet that Steve left with them, and calls the room with his guitar tech in it.

"Tim, is Artie there?" Jeff asks, sitting in the office chair, swiveling slightly.

"Yep. We're already on the same page," Tim answers immediately, and they probably are. Artie's been Eddie's guitar tech long enough to know how he's gonna react to the prospect of pouring rain during an outdoor gig. "Sweetheart would be fine, you know? All your guitars will be fine. We can prepare for this, we have time, and we had ample warning that it's gonna be like this. This is the best case scenario. Seriously. This isn't a surprise storm, and so far, we aren't looking at lightning."

"I know, I know. And I'm not worried about my guitar. I trust you. But Eddie's not gonna play her in the rain. You know he's not," Jeff says, because they all know that. They do. It's never gonna happen. Sweetheart is more than a guitar, and Eddie will have nothing risking her. 

Especially not after the broken neck debacle. She's already been bunged up by touring, and thankfully fucking fixed, but Eddie's not gonna purposefully drown her.

"We know he's not," Tim says, "so we'll make arrangements."

"Good, good. What do you think? I'm thinking we have three options," Jeff says, "One, you run out and buy Eddie something new in town. A throwaway. Something he has no emotional attachment to."

Tim is relaying the idea to Artie, and Jeff can hear Artie disagreeing, which Jeff gets. Eddie won't want to play a guitar he doesn't know, "Same page. Two, he plays Hercules. I think this is fifty-fifty, depending on his mood. Or three, we get him some options ready from my spare guitars on the trailer. That way he'll be familiar, at least."

Jeff hears them murmuring, mulling it all over, and then they agree that those last two options seem the most likely. They're gonna call a meeting later, once they get a hold of Steve for the logistics, but they'll be ready for either. Or if Eddie surprises them. But he won't. 

Jeff is just settling down on the couch next to Goodie when the door swings open, Gareth poking his head in, "It's gonna rain all day."

"Is it really? I had no idea," Goodie snarks, and Jeff smiles. 

"Fuck you, too, Goodie," Gareth says dryly, then looks back at Jeff, "Steve's on top of it."

"Thanks. We called the techs," Jeff tells him, and then the door slams shut behind him.

"I really gotta stop giving him a key to my room," Goodie says, and Jeff laughs. 

"I think this is my room," Jeff answers, looking around, but Goodie's shit is all over the room, too. They have separate suites. They have the money to do that now, but old habits die hard, and they often end up crashing together, still. The road is lonely, and an empty room is often just depressing. He's not sure how Gareth is functioning on his own, especially now that he's sober.

"Omaha's coming up," Jeff says, because every time he thinks of Gareth, that's all he can worry about. That looming tour date. The disappointment that's sure to follow when Gareth's ex-girlfriend doesn't show up to see the Tom Petty heavy encore set they've put together, just for her.

"I'm well aware of where Di is," Goodie says dryly, "I haven't forgotten that we just spent all that time learning shitty songs she'll never hear."

They aren't shitty. Goodie's just being a contrarian. Jeff knows that. Knows him better than he knows anyone else on earth. And Goodie doesn't mean half the shit he says, he just says it to ruffle feathers. Gareth's feathers, if possible.

"Your Honey Bee is good, though," Goodie concedes.

And it is. They've whipped all the songs into decent shape, but Honey Bee feels damn good. Natural. Electric. Diana would really like it, Jeff thinks, and he hopes that maybe, just maybe, she'll show up to hear it. Either way, covering songs, giving them their own Corroded Coffin twist, is still some of the most fun they have on the road.

"She might come," Jeff says, even if he doesn't believe it. Gareth fucked his relationship up, probably well beyond repair, and now Gareth just has to live with it. They all have to live with it. Which, honestly, has been more stressful than when Eddie first got with Steve and drove them all nuts. At least Eddie was happy.

Gareth is withdrawn, quiet. He's different in a way Jeff can't really pinpoint. Not yet. Only time will tell how this all shakes out. If he's growing up, if he can change, or if this is all gonna explode in their faces when he doesn't get what he wants, two days from now.

"She won't fucking come if she knows what's good for her, and Gareth? He's not good for her," Goodie says, flipping to the next page in his newspaper. Jeff's pretty sure he's not reading a damn word of it.

Jeff thinks that's pretty harsh. They're supposed to be supportive of Gareth, here. He's their friend, their bandmate. Their kid to look after. It's been that way forever. They love him.

"She might come," Jeff says. Because she might. Anything can happen. He can't see the future.

"Well, she'd be a goddamn fool, then. I told her to run, to not take any of his shit, and she better listen to ol' Goodie."

Jeff cuts a knowing look at Goodie, "You also gave Gareth a pep talk last winter, telling him she'd marry him someday. So, pick a lane. You can't bet on both outcomes. It's unsportsmanlike."

Goodie sighs, "You aren't supposed to know that. Gareth has a big mouth."

Jeff fucking laughs. There are no secrets between them, and he's not sure why Goodie thought he didn't know. Of course he knows.

Goodie keeps talking, "Well. Both can be true. She's not coming this week. But yeah. Someday. Someday she will. And when she does, I'll still tell her it's a mistake, but she won't listen."

"You sound awfully invested," Jeff says, poking at Goodie.

"It's been our own private soap opera for how long now? Of course I'm invested. I don't have time for television, I gotta be entertained somehow." 

Jeff just shakes his head.

"Well, is he gonna relapse, when she doesn't show up, old wise one?" Jeff asks, mainly teasing. But he is worried about it. 

"No," Goodie says. 

"No?" Jeff asks.

"No," Goodie confirms.

She most likely won't come, they all know it, and Steve's on top of that, too, making a plan to limit the fallout. If Gareth relapses, they're all fucked. This tour schedule cannot accommodate it. No way.

They would. Of course they would. But it would probably mean the tour will come to a screeching halt. All momentum lost.

"If he falls off the wagon, I'm chaining him to said wagon, and dragging him along behind us," Goodie says.

"You say, to a black man," Jeff says.

Goodie lowers the paper, so Jeff can finally see his eyes, "Didn't mean it like that. Jesus."

"I know," Jeff says, and he does know that. Goodie's been his best friend since they were too little to understand what that meant. But still. Not the best imagery.

"He won't fall off the wagon. We won't let him," Jeff proclaims, as if this is within their control.

Goodie says what he was thinking.

"Like we've ever been able to control that kid. Eddie barely can, and Eddie's so far up Steve's ass-"

"Literally," Jeff cuts in, teasing.

"-now that Steve's back on tour, even Eddie doesn't have the time to babysit."

It's true. It's all true. As much as the undercurrent of worry is there, they can't expend the energy on it today. They don't have the time, and obviously have other more pressing issues today. Tonight, it's gonna be Eddie's turn to be unhinged, Jeff's sure of it, "Let's worry about one thing at a time. Tonight it's the rain and Eddie's guitar."

"If he'd just have a whole stable like we do, this would never happen."

"Not how he works, and you know it."

Goodie rolls his eyes. 

"I don't get it. They're just guitars. I love 'em. But I don't really play favorites," Goodie answers, tossing the paper onto the coffee table. "If the bass I play tonight breaks, well, there are twenty more I can play tomorrow. I'll chuck it in the audience-"

"No, you won't. Steve and Erica will both kill you," Jeff corrects. Been there, done that, had the lawsuit to prove it. Erica got it taken care of, but they don't need any more legal troubles.

"I'm not scared of Steve," Goodie says.

"But Erica?"

"Fuck yes, I'm scared of Erica. I'm not an idiot," Goodie says, and Jeff laughs. It's a good thing she's on their legal team, and not working against them, that's all Jeff knows.

Goodie looks up at him again, "Steve never should have bought Eddie that guitar."

Jeff just nods, even if he doesn't really agree. Jeff helped Steve pick her out. Steve knew which guitar Eddie had been drooling over, but asked Jeff to come in to make sure she'd actually be a good one, if he bought it. So, Jeff played the two they had in stock, and picked the one that seemed to have the best sound, and the best feel, and Eddie has loved her more than they could have ever imagined. It was a great gift.

Steve did good.

Steve's always done good, though. They wouldn't be here without him, Jeff has no doubt.

Even if it being from Steve has made Eddie awfully attached to it, as a result.

That night, Eddie doesn't surprise them, but Hercules is ready to go, and Artie promises to give him an extra coat of oil on the fretboard.

The rain hasn't let up, not for a second, and they've never had a rain show like this one. It's kind of cool, and Jeff's really having fun with it. He jumps up and down, bouncing on the balls of his feet, the puddled water splashing beneath him every time he lands. Goodie's soaked, they all are. 

This tour is just firing on all cylinders, and he isn't sure how they've gotten here. Screaming towards the top. All of them. Together. Finally, in sync. Coming off the last couple years, the torture tours they've endured, Jeff's ready for something to go smoothly, for something they can all fucking enjoy for once.

Eddie and Gareth are clean. 

Steve's back on the road, his back not totally fixed, but definitely better than it was.

Jeff gets to have fun with his best friend, playing music, selling out stadiums, and making a boatload of goddamn money.

And tonight, they get to play in the rain in front of god knows how many people in this park. Looking out over the grass, the crowd is fucking pumped, as if the rain hasn't ruined the night for them at all. And if the fans don't care, why should they? 

This is fun.

Someone, Dustin, Jeff thinks, runs out a hat for Gareth. His hair is plastered down, sopping wet and in his eyes, and Jeff watches as Gareth pushes it all back off his face, putting the cap on backwards. He looks funny that way, not at all like himself, more like they've got Chad Smith sitting in, but at least his hair is out of his fucking eyes. Eddie is fiddling with Hercules, like he's not sure that everything is going okay.

It's more than okay. And when Gareth bangs his sticks down again, counting them in on the next song, off they go again and the crowd screams louder than any rain could ever cover.

Back in the dressing room after the show, Goodie is trying to peel his wet shirt off over his head, and Jeff snags the hem of it, helping him tug it off. 

Then he works on his jeans, and it's a whole 'nother job. Everything feels glued on.

"I've never been this soaked in my entire life. I think I could wring out my underwear," Goodie says, and as soon as he steps out of them, he does exactly that over the sink in their shared dressing room.

Jeff laughs, "You can shower first. I think that's the rule. The one with the most soaked skivvies gets to go first."

Goodie smirks, but grabs a towel from the pile on the counter, and slams the bathroom door behind him.

Jeff looks in the mirror, he's lucky. He's the only one of them that doesn't have enough hair to look like a drowned rat. Steve looked awful. All that hair, hanging down around his ears, where it just doesn't belong. 

Not that Eddie will care. Steve is perfect in Eddie's eyes, that's an absolute certainty.

Jeff steps out of his wet clothes and tosses them into the hamper that Eddie had provided for them. He'll be glad to get warm and dry. After being hit with the AC while all wet, he's freezing.

Jeff's putting on a dry robe as Gareth walks in, Dustin's hat still on his head, "Eddie and Steve are showering first. Can I hang with you?"

And Jeff nods, kicking out one of the plastic chairs. There is a couch, but there's really no reason for them to be dickheads about it and get the upholstery wet. It's not the venue's fault that there was a torrential downpour.

"That was crazy, huh?" Gareth asks.

"Still sounded good though, Mike had the audio tuned in great for what he had to work with."

"My cymbals were muted," Gareth complains, and they were, they could all hear that, but if that was the only problem they had all night, they made out like bandits.

"Think your drums survived?" Jeff asks, picking up one of the decks of cards that are ever present on their show riders. 

He deals Gareth in without even asking. 

"Yeah, they should. The techs have 'em," Gareth answers, picking up his hand, rearranging them around in his own hand to his liking. "Eddie's freaking out about Hercules though. Steve's got a job ahead of him tonight."

"He'll be fine," Jeff says.

"Hercules or Eddie?" Gareth asks, smiling as he puts down the cards he intends to play.

"Both, but I was talking about Hercules. Artie won't let anything happen to that guitar."

Gareth nods, and Jeff plays his own cards, as they can hear the shower running in the bathroom beside them.

A while later, Steve pops his head in, freshly dried and styled and looking much more like himself. He looks towards the bathroom, where Goodie's still in the shower, taking his sweet-ass time.

Obviously seeing that the coast is clear, Steve starts talking, "Denny got back to me. Sheryl Crow isn't playing all the festival dates, but we checked our schedule against the ones she is playing, and I made it work to get you two tickets to Pine Knob in August. It's a Sunday."

Jeff smiles, "Awesome. Thank you. Don't tell Goodie. It's a surprise. That means you, Gareth," Jeff says, because he knows Steve won't say a word. Gareth, on the other hand.

"Yeah, yeah, I know," Gareth says, laying down his cards, "Eddie out of the shower?"

Steve nods, and Gareth hops up, probably more than ready to be out of his wet clothes, "Gonna go shower before I end up with diaper rash in my crack from sitting in these wet jeans all night."

"Please do that," Steve stresses, looking back at Jeff, shaking his head after Gareth's gone.

"Any luck getting us backstage?" Jeff asks, hopeful.

"Definitely," Steve assures.

Jeff grins. He doesn't know why he's surprised. They are famous in their own right, and Steve can work fucking miracles. Now, Jeff's not especially looking forward to going to H.O.R.D.E Festival for himself, but he does want to see Goodie's face when he comes face-to-face with Sheryl Crow, outside of a red carpet.

He smiles at Steve. 

Jeff hears the water cut off in the bathroom, signaling that it'll be his turn soon. Steve leaves, and Jeff gathers up his clean, dry clothes, passing Goodie in the doorway of the bathroom.

This is gonna be a good summer, even if it rains the whole time. Because they finally feel back on track for the first time in a long time.

As Eddie would say, this is their year.

If you want to write your own, or see more entries for this challenge, pop on over to @astrangersummer and follow along with the fun!

Notes: Yes, technically, this was meant to take place during Tuesday's Gone With the Wind, but if you haven't read that, I'm pretty sure it can just stand alone. Also, Goodie's referenced pep talk to Gareth happened in Only a Broken Heart. It was fun to look at this 'verse from Jeff's POV for a bit.

The H.O.R.D.E. Festival line-up from the date mentioned, looks like it would have been: Ziggy Marley & the Melody Makers, Sheryl Crow, Blues Traveler, Black Crowes. I'd have seen that show! Dave Matthews Band played other dates, but it doesn't look like this one.

Fun fact: I really wanted to write it in as Lilith Fair, because that seemed like a fun place to send Jeff and Goodie, but alas, it didn't quite exist yet in 1995.

trick or treat🧡🧡 (idk if you want specific ish requests or not, but just in case ex husbands maxiel maybe? 👀 nothing spookier than that lol)

Always SO happy to talk about ex husbands maxiel. Here's a (possible, I can't commit this to stone) headcanon for how they end up back together (because of course they end up back together):

--

After Max retires from racing, he starts spending more time at home with his sister and mother and less and less time in Monaco, and he and Daniel see less and less of each other. Daniel had been finding excuses to show up to races, helping out with commentary and stuff, but once Max isn't there, he starts splitting his time between Australia and LA, depending on business obligations. They go from seeing each other frequently to almost never and it's--Daniel feels hollow, like he's been carved out inside, and if something hits him wrong, he'll shatter into a million pieces.

He ends up deeply depressed in ways he can't acknowledge, going through the motions of his own life. Nothing feels right anymore. Food doesn't taste right. The air doesn't feel right on his skin. He still smiles and laughs and sees his friends, but sometimes it's like he's watching his life from a distance, not really experiencing anything anymore.

Then one day he runs into Max in LA, just like he used to before they were even dating, when his heart started beating fast at the sight of him but he wasn't able to acknowledge what that meant. It hurts this time, because even after the divorce, Max always used to tell him when he was going to be in town, but this time he didn't.

(What he doesn't know is that Max has been suffering too. He only retreated into his family for comfort. He's only stayed away from Daniel because the exes-with-benefits thing started to hurt too much. He always, always wanted to ask Daniel to give him another chance, but he was too afraid Daniel would say no.)

Daniel invites Max back to his place and realizes too late how shameful it is--unwashed dishes in the sink, empty cans and bottles scattered around, clothes on the floor of the bedroom (including one of Max's old Red Bull t-shirts, which he sleeps in sometimes, even though it lost Max's smell a long time ago). But Max doesn't comment on any of it, and they fuck on Daniel's rumpled, unwashed sheets, and afterward they hold each other for a long, long time, and Daniel has to keep biting down on his bottom lip to keep from saying something he shouldn't, or shouting, or sobbing.

Max is the brave one who finally says, "I miss you," and Daniel gives in to the impulse to ask Max to stay with him for a while. Max has a flight in a couple days, but he changes it and ends up staying with Daniel for a couple weeks instead, and even though they don't talk about what it all means, Daniel feels like he's coming alive again. His chest hurts constantly--like the pins and needles of the blood rushing back into a limb that was asleep--but that's better than the numbness he had before. They fall back into their old routines, going for runs along the same routes they used to take through the hills, visiting the restaurants they loved, curling up on the couch to watch dumb movies. Daniel ignores texts and calls from friends, because he doesn't want to shatter the illusion.

Then it comes time for Max to leave, and Daniel just--can't. He thinks he might die if he has to watch Max walk out the door again. He literally will lie down on the floor and never get up again. While Max packs his things, Daniel hovers, pacing the bedroom, opening his mouth and then closing it again against words he knows he doesn't have a right to say.

Finally, finally, he lets himself croak, "I don't want you to go." Max turns to him, and his eyes are red, and his hands are balled into fists, and he says, "I will stay, if you tell me to."

They cancel Max's flight. A month later, Max goes with Daniel back to Perth. The ache in Daniel's chest goes away. His smile feels real again.

How would they react if you fall?

Trey clover

I love this man sm but bro didn't get to help you up because it was so sudden and didn't get to react in time ;(

It all happened when you two where walking on the Heartslabyul and you just HAD to trip on a bucket full of red paint.

Basically, making you faceplant HARD into the grass. (And also staining grand part of the grass with the red paint that was spilled....)

"Oh my go- (y/n), are you okay?" Cut to Trey crouching down inmediatly to see if you were okay <3

May or may not laugh, really depends on the topic you both were talking before your accident.

But if he DOES laugh, don't think that it's going to be an mocking laugh of all sorts, no.

He's going to help you up on your feet and check up on you while he lets out quiet chuckles, nothing more. (Ignoring the CRIME SCENE looking grass..)

After a few seconds you both notice what you accident did and... You both basically bail the scene before anyone saw you both beside the spilled paint.

Overall! Pretty good (unsurprisingly) , an extra point to help you hide after your mess. 10/10

-

Ruggie Bucchi

LAUGHS. (It was probably his fault that you tripped in the first place...)

He's laughing as if he's never laughed in his whole LIFE.

Thank god there was no one around you both....

Will probably ask you if you're okay between laughs but it's okay since he's AT LEAST, asking.

Eventually help's you by crouching down slightly and offering his hand so he can pull you up. (Please pull him down with you after because he deserves it)

As Ruggie helps you up, HE'S STILL LAUGHING.

And from now on, he's never going to let you forget it. He'll bring up your fall ANY chance he gets. Also laughs everytime he remembers... (It's not that funny.)

Overall... Ehhh... Good enough. Half of a point point because he offered you a CRUMB of a donut he buyed later as some kind of consolation.

7.5/10

-

Jade Leech

Bro IS the thing that made you trip.

Just to catch you 💀💀 You're getting mixed signals from this man.

"Oh my, what would you do without me, hm?" (Be happy.)

Helps you effortlessly on your feet with THAT one smile.... Even thought he knows you know that he did it on purpose.

He makes you "payback" for his service by accepting an after hours date in the lounge, (After hours because Azul did NOT have to know that the lounge was still open just so Jade can try to woo you).

Needless to say, the date thing was actually pretty nice. It was a candle light dinner with the most expensive plates on the lounge's menu, he made them himself , of course. (He somehow managed to sneak in AT LEAST six mushrooms in all of them, much to Floyd's disgust because he couldn't eat the leftovers.)

Overall. Good. He's still not done with this "payback" you owe him for saving your life from the terrible death of falling... Extra points for the dinner. 6.7/10

OKAY that's all!! Any kind of note will be appreciated!! THANK YOU TO ANYONE WHO READS I LOVE YOU BYEEEE

[thequeenofthedisneyverse]

Epic: The musical game - more in depth

Me and my new mutual @mariylle have been talking and came up with these ideas for an Epic: The Musical gameplay

Ok, so to start off, this isn't the dating sim version. That'll be further talked about down the line. My ideas are red, Mariylle's are purple

Troy Saga

So basically, my idea was us from our universe, being sent to Ody's to make sure they all actually get home safely. We grow up alongside Odysseus, Eurylochus, and Polites and signed up for war with them.

Some things in the game would be inevitable. Like even if the crew didn't open the bag, Poseidon would have found them and sent them away from home anyway. So, some things could come out better but some things, like any good tragedy, would have to happen regardless.

In regard to the Troy Saga, all events happening in that are inevitable. Including the Infant incident. Y/n knows Zeus made him do it and if y/n were to step in they'd just piss of Zeus and cause more problems later on.

Imagine talking to odyssues after he dropped that baby 😬😬

To be clear, Prophet y/n is a soldier too. (side idea: y/n could have had hurt their head badly and therefore our powers don't work all too well afterwards. Hence why we see certain events but not others. This could be a way of letting inevitable events happen)

2. Cyclops saga

Y/n would probably stop Polites and Ody from going into the cave by telling them it's a trap or tell them to just quickly get in the cave, get the sheep, and get out, NO TALKING!

But they can't kill the cyclops until they get out of the cave. Or at least stop Ody from doxing himself.

One funny option should be smacking the sh*t out of Ody before he says his name (just for gags). Fully animated and everything!

But the other options should be talking Ody out of it not killing Polyphemus to the BEST of your ability. You have to be mindful of whatever text option you choose ensures the safety of the crew AND you.

If we keep the "game 1" options, you have True Endings and Good endings depending on your text. The true ending leads to the next game but Good Endings mean, for that game, you get to go home.

And the worst part is you can't even explain WHY you just b*tch slapped the king. The game should hinder you from saying anything OR you could tell him that you "dreamed" of that cyclops being Poseidon's son and therefore Poseidon coming after he's told what happened. You could be an onboard prophet if you will.

(I imagine getting the entire crew's reaction after we just slap the hell out of him. All of em are just flabbergasted

I'm sure eury would slap you too, or even kill you for such disrespect but I'd love to see it! It'd be funny!)

I like to think we should be given a chance in each saga to stop a certain event from happening. If we don't manage to get a good ending (going home) the game will continue on to the next one which would be Ocean saga.

I forgot to add but Polites should be saved in this level/game

3. Ocean saga

If you make it to Ocean saga you should be determined to keep the bag CLOSED by any means necessary. If Odysseus manages to trust you enough, he'll give you the bag so he can sleep.

So, Prophet! Y/n would be the one staying up for nine days and then when we're tired Odysseus will take it.

I was also thinking, if we don't get Odysseus to trust us in time, he'll fall asleep, and we grab it to keep it safe.

I imagine Y/n getting fed up with the antics and is just like "LOOK YOU GREEDY MOTHER F*CKERS! I WAS NOT SENT HERE JUST SO YOU ALL CAN GET YOURSELVES KILLED. WE ARE GOING HOME AND SO HELP ME ZEUS IF YOU ALL KEEP TRYING TO GET THIS BAG OPEN, I WILL RESORT TO BRUTE FORCE!"

Yes, that would be a text option.

In other words, y/n is just like a tired dad dealing with idiot sons. If we don't choose the option to fend off the boys, the bag at some point will be opened by Eury.

When Eury opens the bag...there should be a full animation of our character either cussing him out in full tears, fighting him like, literally FIGHTING him, or slapping him across the face.

Another option would be to tell Odysseus that SOMEBODY (we won't tell its Eury, we'll pin the blame on another crew member) will open the bag and we'll keep it safe so he can sleep.

A funny gag would just be us fending off crew members while trying to keep the bag closed.

imagine y/n chasing him all over the boat back and forth lmao. And the crew, including Ody, are just starring in pure disbelief.

"YOU OPENED THE BAG! YOU JUST HAD TO DIDN'T YOU?!!"

Or another option would be to keep quiet take the blame for it opening (y'know, for Eury fans)

4. Circe saga

Now, you would try to warn the men as best you could to NOT eat the food. I think it would be really angsty if you can't tell them why and all you can respond with "Just- just DON'T! I have a bad feeling about this!" Or "Just because she's a woman doesn't mean she has our best interest at heart."

"Don't go in there, she'll turn you all into pigs. Let me talk to her and just explain that we mean no harm". And then you would talk to Circe about everything, Including the pig thing. I'm sure she would be shocked as to how we know this, but we can tell her we are a future-seer who was sent to this world to ensure this crew gets home safely. We were "sent by the gods to undo catastrophic events" if you will.

"So, please just give us non-pig transformation food and...can you help us get to the underworld?"

Keep in mind, you don't remember much about the prophet except Odysseus is supposed to see him. And you got hurt during the war, so your memory is still a bit off.

5. Underworld Saga

If we, prophet! y/n, make it to the underworld saga our character should feel a little distraught and hopeless. Because no matter what we did we still ended up there despite all our attempts not to. Insult to emotional injury is if we didn't save Polites and see his spirit.

6. Thunder saga

We still do not survive the thunder saga. But I also kinda like the idea of Zeus being like "Hmm. You're not supposed to be here. You can stay. I'd like to see what you'll do."

Yeah, what if Zues KNOWS why y/n is there but also knows that we failed to do our task, so keep us alive just to let us live with the fact that we didn't stop anything from happening no matter how hard we tried.

Miscellaneous ideas

Another cool idea I had would be Y/n being a god themselves but a small scale one. Our power/strength can only do so much, so our power maxes out quickly.

Hence why some events would happen, and others wouldn't. We would have dealt with the cyclops but too tired to stop Poseidon.

One life changing event per game. It's a limited recourse and you can't wear yourself out

IMAGINE ZEUS GAVE YOU THE POWER. Like he notices you've been dropped in and is like "hmmm. How can I mess with mortals today? APOLLO give this man the power to change destiny, even just the slightest."

But we would use all of our power to save the men in thunder saga. Imagine an epic battle between you and Zeus. Like, imagine he's about to zap everyone into dust but you catch the lightning and absorb it, then using it against him.

If you play your cards right, and not get hit so many times, you'll save the crew and yourself. But if you get hit a lot, you'll only be able to save the crew and not yourself.

But this sounds like a whole other game LOL but semi-prophet y/n in a dating sim would still be so fun. It's like "which route would you like to take"

Absolutely! It could be a cute cartoon style while dating one of the boys but turns into 3D fighting style sequences for the canon events.

Amazing. Star stunning. Nothing I love more than dating sims with a hidden element to them (horror or action)

I think the time between after the war and before leaving on the boat should be when we can start dating them. Because all of you are done with the ten-year war in troy and are about leave. I think some moments before "Open arms" should be moments where we talk to our lover as well.

Text is from other post:

A Tragic Tale Dating Sim

First off, Odysseus would be off the table (that man loves his wife). As well as Eurylochus because he's married to Ody's sister, Ctimene.

HOWEVER, they could be dateable, but you guys would have to be already married. You are married to Odyssues and platonically or romantically married to Penelope/ You are married to Eurylochus and platonically or romantically married to Ctimene.

(I don't think the sim would/should delve on whether you platonically or romantically married their wives. It should be up for interpretation by the player)

Some others would be Polites (of course), Perimides, and Elpenor just to name a few.

Seeing as Ody had 600 MEN in his crew, you’ll have to a male player for this sim, if that wasn’t obvious.

You guys could already be in an established relationship (either private or public. Though with Perimides' character it might be private) and are so gushy over each other it’s sickening. They are simps for you like how Ody is a simp for Penelope.

Idk, reblog with your ideas (And before anyone comments, yes, a dating sim would be pointless but Tragic tale dating sims aren't common and one in Epic style would be interesting...and sad)

And yes, like in the musical, you die with them. I'm not sure if you should die with the others if you chose the "Married to Odysseus option" but...wouldn't it be more angsty if ya did?

I female version could be where you play a nymph on Circe's Island. And from what I've read in this post with ideas from Mariylle.

So, I think the romance would be short lived I suppose? OR this could be a wlw situation with Circe or the other Nymphs.

But another version would be where you are a female sailor on Ody's ship and end up at Circe's island. I think it would be kind of difficult . for you to romance the ladies. I don't think female sailors were allowed back then either.

So, a storyline could be you were a nymph that was friends with Ody since childhood. And because of that (and probably your navigation/fighting skills) he let you on the ship because it's always been your dream to travel.

Then you come upon Circe's island, but you don't know what happened to the other men until Eurylochus comes along and spills the tea.

You attempt to convince Circe yourself to let the boys go/or distract the other nymphs so Ody can talk to Circe himself. A later option would be to stay with the Nymphs because Circe wants you to stay where you belong.

it's the first time you've come upon other nymphs (besides your mother of course) so of course you'd want to stay. And what if after you stay and "a few years pass" and Ody comes back to the Island...but only to tell you that your other childhood best friend Eury and the rest of the crew is dead. He just wants you to come back to Ithica for the funeral.

He conveniently leaves out how they died. You, the nymph, grew up with Ody so you know he's leaving something. You are given the option to ask but he will just deny it/reflect it.

And like... knowing your friends died it's not even like you really want to know right now anyway.

Yeah, being told they died is already a bit much. But on the bittersweet side, you get to meet Ody's son, Telemachus, because the last time you saw him was when he was a baby.

Ody's mom is dead too and she was like an aunt to you so...yeah, more trauma.

Your nympha mom is still up and running though, she is Ody's mothers age but physically only looks 40 or 50.

This is all we have so far let me know what ya'll think.

The brothers find Belphie sleeping in the attic. They are about to wake him up, but hear him sleep talking. As they come closer to hear what he's saying, they find out he's muttering & crying, "Lilith, I miss you." in his sleep while tears are slipping down his cheeks. How would the brothers react?

i love your mind anon <3

Reacting to Belphie missing Lilith

Lucifer:

It's not like he was having a good day anyway but now it's going even more horrible. Feels guilty even if he doesn't show it and refuses to talk about it. He didn't really have a chance to grieve properly otherwise everyone else would be dead by now too. Everyone can tell something is up with him today but it's better not to push it.

Mammon:

Sighs and takes a second to remember what happened. If you don't know anything about Lilith he sure won't be the one to tell you. If you already know after some questioning/teasing he'll open up and tell you, but moves on from the topic very quickly.

Leviathan:

Might spiral into an existential crisis and might not, depends on how his day was going. Gets a bit quiet for the rest of the day after this reminder. Nobody notices it though. Poor baby.

Satan:

(Who tf is Lilith). Doesn't really feel anything about the situation at hand. Might talk to Asmo about it later, but only if he doesn't forget to.

Asmodeus:

Gets a bit sad so that means he must talk about it. Probably to you or Beel, depends on who is closer to him. After getting it off of his chest he is relieved instantly and doesn't even think about it for the rest of the day.

Beelzebub:

Poor baby is used to this kind of stuff, it's not the first time Belphegor talks in his sleep, you see. After his twin wakes up he is sure to mention it to him and talk to him about it. Depending on your relationship with him / Belphie he is also going to have you join this heavy conversation, unless you really don't want to participate. But that's unlikely.

Listen I'm weird and I'm allowing myself to enjoy Rayman for the first time in years, please just scroll past if you think this post is weird, lol.

I am still trying to create the Rayman x Sonic agenda. I absolutely think they would be good for each other. Not only that, but Eggman and Razorbeard would totally team up together. They might not be loyal to each other, but I'm sure they find each other fascinating and useful.

While I wouldn't mind seeing Sonic visit Rayman's world, I actually think it's more likely that Razorbeard would bring his conquest to Mobius, followed by a very concerned Rayman who will not stand to see him destroy another planet. With a common goal, Sonic and Rayman will wind up fighting their nemesis...es together, and get a chance to hang out between fights.

Imo, they're both pretty flighty. Sonic loves running for the sport of it, but Rayman loves to look at things, take in sights and sounds, and to see the world. He's very curious about Mobius, and eager to learn about their culture. And their food!

I think that once the baddies are taken care of, Rayman would retire to the Chao garden for a while. This guy takes his quality time very seriously; he is either fighting crime or sleeping at all times. He is also used to taking care of the staggering amount of children Globox has (he's a frog, so the number is in the hundreds) and is naturally excellent at raising Chao because of it. Sonic stops by once to see how it's going, then stops by a week later, and a Chao that had just been born last time is now a pro at Chao racing because of how diligently Rayman had been raising it. The look on Sonic's face would be priceless.

There's a lot of people in the fandom who agree that Rayman is a very lonely person, and I think he is a bit resigned to being some sort of untouchable or undesirable figure, depending on who we're talking about. Globox is the one who stays with him the longest, but after Rayman 3, he loses his mind to uh, "plum juice", and there's evidence to suggest he's divorced. I imagine their conversations get pretty heavy nowadays, and Rayman must be tired of playing hero to his friend when he's trying to just be a regular guy.

I'm not as crazy about Sonic as my boyfriend is, and not nearly as much as I am about Rayman, so I can TRY to say how he would react, but take it with a grain of salt. From what I know about Sonic, I think he would sympathize about Rayman's plight, and maybe not hit the point of empathy for a while because opening that can of worms is not his speed. But he would offer Rayman friendship, tell him that there's always a place for him on Mobius, and that he doesn't have to restrict himself to being a hero. People are people, no matter their jobs. They all need some time to relax, and just live life to the fullest.

Also I think Rayman would have to be the initiator. Sonic has a one-track mind and won't even think about it until it's right in front of him, and even then he might just dodge it. Rayman kisses Sonic on the cheek, and when the inevitable happens and Sonic dodges his feelings by running off, Rayman just smiles sadly and says to himself that at least he tried. He won't ever meet someone like Sonic again, someone who cares and understands, who can show him a whole new world that mystifies and excites him... Even if his dream dies here, he's glad that he finally had a dream for himself, and not for all the people on the planet he'll never be.

As a final piece of propaganda for Sonic fans who don't know about Rayman, take a look at Razorbeard and tell me that Eggman would not totally lose his shit over being able to work with a bloodthirsty pirate robot who is also trying to colonize worlds with a robot army.

Supergirl, Alex and Kara as kids

part of the Apastron /Tiny Kara AU Appulse: The closest approach of one celestial object to another, as viewed from a third body.

Alex knew a few months weren't enough to fix years--three years, if the information J'onn had given her mom was true-- of torture. It was still hard to see how scared Kara was of nearly everything.  Her sister clutched at her hand hard. 

"It's fine. He'll be here soon" Alex promised her sister. Kara clung anyways. Since the Earthquake, the nightmares had come back, and the smallest change to  their routine--classes in the temporary middle school buildings, lunch with Winn, a trip to the library at its least busy time-- were enough to leave her paralyzed with uncertainty.  

It wouldn't have been a problem if  Eliza hadn't gotten a call from the Peruvian embassy two days ago. A body had been discovered, and she had to go Identify it. Alex had gotten the whole story by now, what J'onn had done, what her father had. Two men had died in the jungle that night, and two lives had been saved because of it. 

J'onn had been so sure that letting Kara go--that getting her out of the cell and into the sunlight--was the last thing he would do before being caught himself. But for months The DEO had continued to believe he was Hank Henchhaw, following all his fake trails before starting to pull back on their hunt for the Kryptonian prisoner on his orders. 

Until now, Alex had been sure that everything would be ok. Kara would get better. She'd train to join the DEO when she was older, to protect Kara forever with J'onn.  They'd change everything from the inside out until there was somewhere safe for Kara, and for J'onn, and anyone else who came from the stars with no place else to go. 

Now, standing in her backyard with a suitcase at her side and Kara's hand in hers, she worried. 

If the body was dad's, she'd really know. There was no chance of him coming back. No hope that he'd open the door someday and pull her into a hug and tell her how proud he was. 

If it wasn't, then everything was lost. 

A blur of red and blue shot across the sky, only visible because she was looking, then doubled back and touched down. Superman looked at the impact of his feet in the lawn and winced. "Sorry about that," he said quietly. "I didn't mean to be late."

Kara reached out her other hand to him, and he took it, arranging his cape to drape over her a bit. 

"Are you girls ready?" he asked. 

"Yeah," Alex said, trying to stay upbeat. Like this was a normal Thanksgiving break activity. Some kids went to Disneyland, or to a grandparent's. She and Kara were going to be flown halfway across the country by Superman. 

It would be safer, her mom and J'onn had agreed.  They'd acted like it was just for the three days it would take to fly to Peru, meet with the embassy, identify the body, and fly home.  But that depended on the corpse. 

"We'll stay at the farm for now, since it's the holidays," he told them, looking at the suitcases. "And if things get... extended, you'll both be safe there."

"You?" Kara asked, a little frantic. Alex winced. Having her mom gone was hard enough. If Clark left them with strangers--even perfectly nice strangers like the people who'd taken care of him-- Kara wouldn't react well, and frankly she wasn't sure she would either. 

"I've got a job to do in Metropolis," he said. " and my apartment's not that big. But, uh. We'll figure that out later, if we need to, ok? I'm sure we won't have to."

He took the suitcase in one hand, checking the weight, then slipped the long side handle over his arm. "Ok. Hang on tight."

Alex had to let go of Kara to do it, and braced for Kara to start to cry as Superman lifted them both off the ground and into the sky.

Instead, as the wind rushed past her ears, ruffling her hair and sending Kara's streaming like a golden banner, Kara let out a giggle, then a laugh.

Alex tried to beam, her heart dropping to her toes as the earth fell away from them. Kara was scared of everything in the world, it seemed sometimes. Except for her family.

And, she realized, except for flying.

Do you have any headcanons about genderbend helaegon sexual tension

*cracks knuckles* yeah. yeah, I most certainly do. 🙈 do take in consideration that everything i write here is in line with how i characterize the two in The Protector of the Realm (which is my genderbent longfic), so if you aren't familiar with the story there may be a chance you'll find some of the hcs really out there. I go (and will go in the future) into HEAVY detail about how and why they react to each other they they do in the longfic. For fellas unaware - my M!Helaena is named Rhaegal and my F!Aegon is named Aerea.

Genderbendt Helaegon Intimacy Headcanons

⛧ To begin with, Aerea is more of an initiator. She looks to be the more dominant one, because she requires some measure of control over her sexuality and bodily autonomy as well as she struggles with the idea of relinquishing control to her little brother. She touches him more freely, grabs him by his hand or arm or waist to make him more aware of her or to tease. This is not necessarily even in a sexual context, she just reaches out to him in a way more unabashed and less careful than he does her. She also does it to tease and fuck around, planting a kiss on him out of nowhere just for people to see and for him to go red. ⛧ Rhaegal comes more into the intimacy stuff over time, but just like his female counterpart, he tends to be gentler in how he goes about things. He goes more by the rules and what's familiar so he takes longer to open up and process touches and interpert them confidently. He would fidget with his thumb over Aerea's fingers, kiss at her knuckles or top of her head, brush fingers over cheeks in gentler moments. While she's more of a person to barrage him with touch, he would hover, hands trying to decide how to hold her just right for a while before finally holding her waist firmly. ⛧ The two above hcs are, of course, in dichotomy with the fact that Rhaegal has a much bigger physique and generally stronger than Aerea. Aerea will do the initiating, she will fuck around with him to get a reaction, but she herself needs a moment to reformat her brain when he answers her touches with his own and lifts her up/keeps her in place/squeezes her in a needier way. Whether she'd tussle with him for control or let him do what he got to do depends on where we are in the timeline, heh. ⛧I imagine that Rhaegal has issues with some fabrics. Aerea likes to dress well, it's important for her not to feel of lesser value (and to an extent, she copies Rhaenyra's fashionista days to measure up) and so she has a good array of stuff she wears. When the fabrics he's not as down with are around, he'll probably dare dig his fingers under her sleeves or reach to touch her in places where she's bare (like neck or forearm) look to feel softer skin. The definition of wondering where to put his hands, but really, instincts guide. On Aerea's part, she'd flush and have to swat him away (and get back at him for getting her to react as such later). ⛧ The building tension really enters a few years into their marriage when they start to rely on each other more often. They are a very push and pull couple and they both have a hard time believing that the other would want them in that way, each for their own reasons, so when they start wanting more from each other as husband and wife they are very push and pull. When one of them puts distance, the other struggles and reaches closer. In conclusion: these bitches in denial, and testing each other until they both have no choice but reaching the conclusion that yes: I want you.

Tanimura & Mine dating hc (sfw + notsfw) please?!

ANYTHING for my boys. Also, peeps who sent in Y6 asks, I SEE EM just ain't getting to em yet as I have yet to start Y6. Tomorrow is masterlist finalization day so that's been occupying my time but to my lovelies in my inbox, I see you and love you. Headcanons below the cut mine beloved, happy friday night!

Tanimura Masayoshi

Bouncing and smiling babey boy. Always happy to see you, even when he's dead tired. During earlier dates, he greets you by smiling and waving but later one he'll greet you with a hug or kiss on the cheek.

Loves hand holding the most. Values that more than kissing or even sex honestly. It's very cozy and intimate to him. Totally the type of guy to measure his hand size against your as an excuse for physical contact.

Since work keeps him so busy, in person dates aren't the most regular but you will hear from him every day by text or call. Will video call you on his busiest nights.

Expresses love with food, either by taking you out to food or just buying you snacks. Tanimura is a snack muncher himself so he keeps good notes on what you both like so when he buys something for himself, he grabs something for you too.

His go-to date is getting boba together and maybe hitting up an arcade. Honestly, he's open to anything though. The most chill of the boys when it comes to dates, he's down to just sit and talk anywhere as long as he's with you.

He's a little embarassed about it but in bed he does like to tie you up. He won't use his work handcuffs on you because of how painful they can be, unless you ask for it. It's kind of cute how much he blushes at the fact that all of his kinks totally align with his job.

Completely and totally a verse. He can top with the best of them or be the babiest bottom, it just depends on his mood and your preferences. Relatively down to explore new things in the bedroom.

Mine Yoshitaka

Strong and silent, which makes him hard to read at first. That's kind of on purpose, Mine honestly has trust issues and is too self sufficient for his own good. He tends to keep to himself so if he goes out of his way to ask you, he REALLY likes you.

If you ask HIM out, chances are Mine will say yes unless he absolutely thinks you aren't his type. Pretty down to date casually but when he catches feelings, he's down bad.

Leans to the more traditional side. Will ask you on dates most of the time, will pick you up, probably brings flowers on the fancier dates. However, don't mistake that for him being old fashioned. In fact, it kind of turns him on if you switch up the roles on him and ask him out or pick him up.

Likes a partner who is pretty self sufficient as he may not always have the time to dedicate to someone who is more clingy and would feel kind of bad for not being able to be there as much as a clingier partner would need. Kind of ironic given that deep down Mine himself can be kind of attached.

With Mine, it's the little gestures that matter. Things like holding the door open or bringing an umbrella to your place of work on days where it's downpouring because he knows you forgot yours at home. Very much a man to show rather than tell.

Super dry texter so try not to be upset if he doesn't sound enthusiastic in texts. Decent at holding conversation in person though and only gets better the longer he dates you. The amount he texts is normal though, he won't leave you with a one word response if he can help it. It takes time for him to get back to you sometimes though if he's rather busy.

After about a 6 month dating period, the facade drops almost scarily quickly and he gets a lot cozier and cuddlier. He starts realizing that this is actually happening and you're not just someone interested in him for his looks or money. It'll take a bit longer for him to open up about his personal past but he will become noticably more comfortable around you in ways he isn't with everyone else.

Freak in the sheets. Total top and total dom. King of using his voice. What he lacks in dating experience, he makes up for in bedroom experience. Has perhaps some of the most experience of all of the boys. Also a quick learner.

Absolutely loves to put his hand under your chin and tilt your face up to look at him. Sly as hell. Actually quiet in the bedroom though, never really makes a lot of noise. Whispers a lot too. Great at getting you turned on in public with just his voice. Particularly good with his hands. Will tie your hands up with his tie if you ask him but he won't default to that.

2 on the relationship asks, all three!

Ryūzō, for the longest of times, has put his feelings, both on romance and sexual attraction, on the back wheel. It's not that he isn't interested in meeting or marrying someone. It's just that he doesn't know if he is fully ready for the new chapter in his life of marriage or being with someone. He's imagined it, but only sporadically. Takumi teases him that he is going to die alone at this rate. Ryūzō doesn't pay that much attention... sometimes.

In the slight chance he does get a crush, Ryūzō is a perfect gentleman about it. If he spots his crush in the school hallway or street, he'll purposely walk in their direction to greet them despite having to go a different direction. He'll carry textbooks or bags for them without a complaint, making a lot of the other females on campus (both teachers and students) swoon. And in between class time, he'd make his crush some tea or coffee for them to drink whilst grading papers. He'd also, surprisingly, smile more in her presence.

This behavior, unfortunately, wouldn't go unnoticed by some of the other students. Some students, those with a death wish, would tease the Languages professor, and he'd respond by giving them extra homework.

Takumi, unlike Ryūzō, is very upfront when it comes to liking someone. However, unlike the stoic and good-looking Languages professor, Takumi is absolutely horrendous when it comes to anything romantic. He'd like women to see that beneath all his muscles and warring instincts, lays a poet's soul and a deep sensitivity. The problem is that beneath all his muscles and warring instincts… there's actually not much else in that over-muscled size body of his.

However, it's not for lack of trying. And Takumi does try. Boy, does he try! However, as stated, he doesn't know what to do when it comes to romantic endeavors. If you've ever seen the cartoon, 'Johnny Bravo', that's typically how Takumi acts with most women. And despite his numerous times of striking out or getting slapped in the face, he cannot see exactly what it is that he's doing wrong.

However, if he likes the person, like really, really, really, likes them, he's going to make an effort to change himself. He's going to watch his overly-obnoxious flirting and is going to cease being loud and boastful. He'll try to remember to speak in a calm, passive voice and be more humble. He may even use Ryūzō as a reference, copying his mannerisms and trying to act more calm, cool and collected, which may or may not work out. All in all, it depends on luck to determine whether or not Takumi's crush notices.

Kotono, much like Takumi, isn't all that good when it comes to romantic encounters, which is ironic because she's been asked out more times than any other female teacher on campus combined, both by her fellow staff members and even by some of her students. However, she always refuses or denies them.

One of the reasons for this is because she knows that typically men only want one thing from her, and that's to get her in bed. She's had to punish many students that tried to get 'handsy' with her in the nurse's office. The second reason is because she doesn't want them finding out about her lifestyle, i.e., how she keeps her home. She is absolutely atrocious when it comes to housework, and should anyone besides Ryūzō find out, she'd die of embarrassment.

However, the main reason is because she doesn't want anything distracting her from her main goal, which is to find out what happened to her younger sister. Having a partner would just distract her from that. Until she's found out what became of her younger sibling, being with someone is not on her list of priorities.

Should Kotono do develop a crush, she is a lot more open with herself. She takes care of her appearance and tries to behave more... respectable of a woman her age. Though she isn't worried about partners right now, she is worried about not finding someone to be with later on down the line. She is only in her early 30s, but she is worried about what will become of her as she gets older. Will men still find her attractive or not? Who knows...

Thanks for the ask!

[acourtofthought]

What do you think will be the call to action for Elain's book? For Nesta, we knew that her book would pick off from when Cassian said she will be training with him in the mountains. What I think confused everyone was how abrupt acosf ended. No chapter tease or nothing. We have no clear idea who the next book will be about or even how this person's journey will start.

I think SF ended so abruptly without hinting at who is getting the next book or how it will come about because these books, while having an overarching theme, are still considered standalones.

Standalones need to feel somewhat complete, independent of any other story. So if someone wanted to begin and end their ACOTAR reading experience with Nesta's journey and never pick up another book in this world because they don't care about what happens with Koschei or the Illyrians they should technically be able to do that.

For most of us that wouldn't work because there are still unresolved plots and unaddressed mating bonds we want answers on but I do think that's why when she ended SF, the characters were all left in a somewhat ok place.

Gwyn and Emerie were laughing with Nesta at the end. Though we know they do have more of their story to be told, we did walk away with a sense of "ok, they're not miserable right at this moment".

Same thing with Elain. We know she was dealing with a lot in SF, what with her fight with Nesta, the sometimes elusive behavior and secret keeping she's got going on and the offers of her help being brushed aside by the IC, but at the end she, Nesta and Feyre were all together at their fathers grave with Elain and Feyre beckoning her to join them.

And Az. In SF, there's mentions of his moodiness and the bonus (if someone read it) shows he's bitter and jealous but by the end of the book he and Cassian were only mentioned as being protective of Nyx and compiling a list of mistakes the Valkryie made.

So the open ended plots of Beron, Koschei and the treaty were unresolved but the characters themselves all seemed to be somewhat settled which leaves the book feeling it had an official end to Nesta's journey without putting the focus on someone else.

We know the internal issues the characters are facing will become front and center again in the next book but SJM will have to start that one as if it were a standalone which means she'll have to reintroduce the emotional baggage we know they have but that wasn't the focus at the end of the last.

When it is time for Elain's story, what will the call to action be?

Based on SF.... since that is the last book in the ACOTAR series and I'm not convinced SJM will pick up the next book with Bryce's arrival or shortly after it as these are meant to be standalones and shouldn't be dependent upon another series, I think she could go a few directions.

I think there's a chance Mor doesn't return from the continent in the time frame she was supposed (she's out of daemati range when over there) so Rhys and Feyre could send Elain to see what's going on, having Lucien accompany her.

Or because SF ended before Calanmai, I could see Elain having visions / dreams of the drums calling to her, which sets up her journey starting in Spring.

Maybe it will begin with Nesta's mating ceremony and we'll see Rhys scheming a reason to get Elain and Lucien together to help with court related business.

Or....since SF hinted that there are problems in Day Court and we saw Elain standing with Helion on Starfall, maybe he'll ask her to visit Day Court to help him with something because of her Seer powers. Or maybe she's interested in learning about her powers with information from his libraries since she was the one who said she'd try to reacquaint herself with them. Nesta had no interest in training her powers so she needed that push from Rhys, Cassian and Feyre versus Elain who has already offered herself up to search for the Trove and later said she was part of the Court and willing to do whatever she needed for it.

Or maybe something completely different! I don't think many of us guessed how Nesta's journey would begin. But I don't think we're going to see the push-back from Elain that we did from Nesta as Elain now seems eager to be helpful.
