Valentines' personality test ! : 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐘

[so-much-for-the-seashells]

what gilmore girls team is dean? def luke for lorelai....and i feel like he'd be team jess but i can also see him admiring logan for being so defiant towards his family so idk.

Hi anon!! Thank you so, SO much for the ask!!

1000% Luke for Lorelai! As stated in movie nights I’m not sure if Dean likes Luke or LIKES Luke but either way he’s 10000% team Luke all the way. He also really likes Lorelai, at first because she’s gorgeous but as the show goes on for her wittiness.

Now as far as Team Jess goes, I can definitely see Dean on it, for a few reason:

-he’s Luke’s family: in Dean’s eyes that means he’s got automatic swagger. While watching he’ll probably laugh at most of the things Jess does/says and will say “Man, he’s a spitting image of his uncle!” (Dean gets real invested in his media, to the point where he feels like he knows the people in stars hollow personally. It’s quite endearing, actually!)

-Dean kind of sees himself- or at least, his younger self- in Jess: hot bad boy except bad boy is just a cover for a guy who is actually sensitive and sweet? Now who does that sound like? However, this means that any time Jess does something stupid Dean will yell at the tv much like his inner voice did him when he was younger.

-I think he’d also just think that Jess is the most fun to keep up with, has a great music taste, and makes Rory her best as well

Now as far as Logan goes:

-Dean is pretty scorned by the Rory-Jess break up; it takes a few pies before he’s even remotely consolable. “That dumbass, running off…”

-because of this, he’s a little hesitant about anyone else that comes into Rory’s life. (Again, invested)

-so Logan’s a bit of a “what a douche” type for the most part, but he starts to dig him after the whole jumping with the umbrellas thing which he thought was badass.

-also, the way he sticks up to his family reminds Dean of Sam, so he has to give the kid props there.

-but I think overall he was just more of a Jess kid, and because of that just couldn’t come to terms with a new guy

Bonus:

-Dean CANNOT with gg Dean, and sometimes he’ll accidentally compare the latter to Sam, his doppelgänger.

“Stupid ass! You’re such a hothead! Why’d you do that to Rory? Huh?” Dean’ll yell at a very, very confused Sam. His younger brother will look at him like a deer in headlights, never really sure how to respond.

-but yeah he thinks that GG Dean is a walking red flag, and like, had a vein in his forehead from how mad he was when GG Dean cheated on Lindsay with Rory

-because how dare that son of a bitch come back!

-anyways, I rest my case haha

Hope you like these!! Thanks again for the ask!

Xx

hiii, this might seem weird but do u have any head cannons for when the reader is pregnant and how the Darkling would react?

a/n love this concept,, it's not weird at all!! i feel like there's so much here!! also i leave for college this month and im lowkey starting to freak out so ive been watching star wars movies for comfort 😭and now i have half a mind to write for them, especially the prequels (cough, cough,, anakin) 😭 😭 that should tell you where i am mentally

anyways lets get into the headcanons:))

--

- okay so like most of my headcanons, this is probably going to be all over the place bc i feel like so many different things could change how he would react. Like if the darkling x reader have been trying to get pregnant, or an unplanned pregnancy with someone he really likes, i also think whether or not the reader is a grisha affects his reaction too

- in general though, i think he'd lowkey have a breeding kink he'd def find something about the thought of you having his child really attractive bc for one thing, he wouldn't have to worry about being left alone and now he has an excuse to be a real 'protector'.

- also if youve read my other headcanons i am 100000% convinced that he has this thing where if he really likes someone he needs them to need him (let's all remember the whole 'i will strip you of everything you know and love speech until I'm your only shelter' speech he gave to Alina)

- also i kinda want to write a fic or blurb series or something that's just the darkling being super toxic in super thoughtful ways LMAO if that makes sense, like he's being super sweet but it's to make sure the reader is dependent on him

- and he def wants to be the protector to give himself some sense of assurance bc he's so desperate to not be alone anymore and bc the reader is the only person he has/loves, he wants to feel in control and like he's the less attached one

- okay,, let's get back to the pregnancy thing, anyways, your pregnancy is most definitely activating all of those senses and this was meant to be a sub plot but it kind of became it's own thing lol

- so lets get to the actual pregnancy reaction

if you two have been trying to get pregnant:

- when you tell him, he kind of like, pauses bc it's not every day that he gets surprised so it takes him a moment to register that he's experiencing shock lol, so he tenses and goes islent

- and then after he realizes that he's surprised and that it's bc of a good thing, he manages to relax

- meanwhile you're kind of freaking out bc he got so quiet?? you start to wonder if he's regretting ever wanting a child with you? and you're like two seconds away from a downspiral and then he...

- he touches your cheek and looks at you in a way you've never seen him look at anyone,, not even you

- the look is so warm and strong and full of fierce admiration that you feel foolish for ever thinking he didn't want this. And then he says something about how you're carrying his child and how he didn't realize he could adore you more and then he kisses you and it's all :)) warm:)

- he doesn't want anyone to know that he's expecting a child as long as possible bc of how many enemies he has and how he has to worry about you enough when people just know that you're his 'lover' (a title you never really liked, but one he tells you is necessary to make sure no one realizes the extent of his attachment)

- if you really want to tell your mother or someone of that relation, he won't be mad about it, but he just needs to know

- Genya is the only exception bc the darkling basically instructs her to look out for you,, but when you tell her she's like oh?? you guys just found out?

- miss girl most definitely noticed like a day and a half ago after you cried bc she couldn't find you ice cream the other night 😭and she just assumed you knew but weren't ready to tell anyone

- okay so this what i think is his most problematic expecting father trait would be. So i just ranted about how important secrecy would be to him but he's also the most overprotective person in the entire world,, like he was bad before but once he knows your with child?? yeah, if a man asks you about the weather, he's done for

- he's next to you in a second, ordering either you or the man to do some asinine task

- if you get mad about this (rightfully so) or even just point out how nothing is wrong and you having a casual conversation with a man who isn't even looking at you sexually won't hurt you or the baby, he'll lose rationality

- it depends on how much you push, but it'd be super easy to make him super possessive bc like i said, being bonded by a child has made him so much more intense (and he was pretty intense before)

- and if you push too much he'll lowkey forget about how cautious he's trying to be with you and pin you against the nearest wall and say something along the lines of 'are you already forgetting you're mine? that i own you, body and soul--is my child growing in you not enough of a reminder? because i'll give you another one if you need it.' (AH--i want to write a whole fic based on this line)

- also if the reader is grisha, especially if she's a sun summoner/special grisha like him, he def talks about the power that they've created and how proud he already is and how he can't wait to train together and be the most powerful family in the world

- not everything is perfectly happy though, bc now he feels more pressure to complete his plan and establish the world he wants his child to be born into

- so sometimes when he's working extra hard or is extra aggressive for no reason, you have to work at calming him down and reminding him that the best thing he can do for his child is be there for them (and the child's mother,, lol)

- sometimes he'll respond by actually listening to you and trying to make up for his absence or his aggression by being extra soft until you finally forgive him

- you never last that long, it's hard to be mad at him when he's coddling you and whispering such sweet things about he's so happy to have you and your future child

- overall, his first reaction is to swell with emotion, which he isn't used to, and so he becomes super protective but also extra lovey and you know that his overreactions are just him trying to show that he cares about you and your future child more than anything

If the pregnancy was unplanned:

- the initial reaction is pretty similar, only his state of shock lasts longer

- like i said at the beginning, he's not used to being surprised and an accidental pregnancy is so much more surprising than a planned pregnancy

- this really sucks for you bc he's not exactly known for his patience so you just kinda sit there and genuinely wonder if you're going to be a single mom or if you're going to want to deletus the fetus or something

- but then he takes a step towards you and you see how he's looking at you and you just know that that fierceness has to mean something good

- and at this point you're scared and nervous and feel so alone so tears are pricking at your eyes,, so he wipes his thumb across your cheek to wipe away tears you won't let spill

- he then whispers something really sweet about how you two are now together forever, as you should be

- it's really relieving bc you felt so alone and uncertain and he's such a smooth speaker that by the end of the night, you feel like this is a good thing

- if youre still hesitant/weighing your options, he's not above trying to (gently) manipulate you into thinking that what he wants may be the only way

- by that,, i don't mean outright tricking you bc he means everything he says, but he def is pushing the keeping the baby agenda,, especially if you're a grisha,, and even more so if you're a grisha with similar power levels to him

- he won't get angry at first bc he's not so out of touch that he's unaware of how shocking a pregnancy is to a woman who wasn't planning one,, but his patience is limited and if you fight it too much he will get mad and yell

- but unless you really don't want to have a child, it won't get to that bc he makes the idea of having a baby with him sound so perfect?? like you genuinely don't understand how he did that

- he chases away all of your worries and assures you that youre not alone and that even though it isn't planned he wouldn't rather anyone else carry his child

- the initial conversation would probably end in you two sleeping together again bc he finds the fact that you're carrying his child so attractive and bc being aware of the pregnancy makes him more possessive

- it's also a good way to fight any of your doubts

- speaking of being possessive though,, i feel like he could be a little more possessive/protective of a reader who didn't plan on getting pregnant bc your relationship has been less established

- no one sees you as anything to him and he doesn't want to start rumors now bc it's important to him that his enemies don't find out about you or his future child so he doesn't want that to change

- but he almost forgets about all of those reasons each time he sees a man get a little too close,, especially if that guy is flirty

- it takes all of his will power to not just go 'she's mine and if i wasn't worried about the stress that witnessing something violent would cause our unborn child, you'd be dead already, but if you're not gone by the time i turn around, i'll forget about caution'

- lots of close calls ngl!! at one point youre like 'if it bothers you so much, maybe you should tell someone??' and he's like 'no,, maybe,, shut up' and then you raise one eyebrow and he just closes his mouth and is like 'i mean,, i'll kiss you to shut you up, haha--dont be mad'

- youre the one that's pregnant but sometimes you think he might be the one experiencing the mood swings i swear 😭

- so your little theory gets tested,, he's not the type to gossip with his besties and be like 'guess who's officially my girlfriend, i knocked her up but it's not like it sounds--'

- so he's like ig you can tell genya

- once again genya is like ?? yall thought you were keeping that secret? couldn't be me

- but having it a little out in the open helps ease him just enough that youre actually capable of consoling him when he becomes jealous

- still though,, he's quick to go into possessive/pregnancy kink sex

- youre most def not mad about it,, unless pregnancy has you particularly sore

- he's normally pretty understanding about that and def doesn't mind pulling his weight in the bedroom when he needs

- honestly he'd be really good at being a source of calmness at the beginning, but as time goes on he becomes more and more worried about finishing his plans bc he didn't expect to have a child right now

- so he'd be more adamant about working/becoming more tense and would be more difficult to console if it was an accidental pregnancy

- when you call him out on it--or on anything while your pregnant--it's frustrating for you both bc the number one thing everyone knows is stress is bad for baby, so he's trying to keep you calm without backing down

- these argument always end with one of you clinging to the other,, and then the more angrier of the two just like shuts up, rolls their eyes, and lets go of the argument...at least for now

- the main difference between an accidental and intentional pregnancy would probably be how you perceive him,, bc an intentional pregnancy means youve talked about things but since you havent talked about anything your shocked about how soft he becomes ??

Prompt - villain Hange. Marleyan or from Paradis. Hange is against the survey corps. Levihan fight each other and have an enemies to lovers type of relationship

this was a def a challenging prompt, anon! hope you like it!

A tall, messy haired titan shifters with glasses. Levi had encountered her just two times before.

The first time had been the day the Scouts had chased after the traitors—Reiner Braun and Bertholdt Hoover, who had captured Eren and Ymir. The day Eren yelled and the abnormal titans began to attack Reiner and Bertholdt. The day Erwin lost his arm.

At the end of all the chaos and everyone began riding horses in retreat, Levi stayed behind to make sure everyone had escaped safely. He watched as the armored titan, Bertholdt, and Ymir trying to fight off the abnormal titans who suddenly began attacking them after Eren commanded them to. Levi almost... felt bad for them, conflicted feelings bubbling up inside as they were once considered his comrades.

However, as Levi turned around, he saw another titan—one he had never seen before. The titan took the form of a wolf, oddly majestic for such a monster, it’s shaggy brown fur lighting up with a subtle sheen of gold from the setting sun. It ran towards them, and Levi took his chance to capture its shifter. He launched himself out towards it, at the advantage as it didn’t see him coming. He fought with it, and the wolf titan put up a good fight, until Levi finally cut at the nape.

Messy brown hair tied up in a ponytail, she looked at him, desperation showing in her brown eyes surrounded by titan marks. Levi was almost dumbstruck as he looked at her—beauty catching him quite off guard. They locked eyes for a moment, and time seemed to stand still as they stared at each other for the very first time. Before Levi knew it, the moment had ended, and the shifter had brought her hand up to her mouth, electrifying light shining, the explosion of her turning back into a titan blasting Levi far out of the way. He could only watch as the wolf jumped bravely into the mess of titans, pulling out Reiner, Bertholdt, and Ymir out safely by its mouth. It ran away, but for a brief moment, Levi watched it turn its head around as it sped off, taking one more look at him.

He wouldn’t hesitate next time, he thought. It was invaluable to the Scouts to catch a titan shifter who might talk to them.

The second time he encountered her was during their attack on Marley, many years after the first time they crossed paths. This time, their fight was much more fleshed out.

Levi encountered her alone, as her wolf titan form ran around, seemingly trying to defend both the jaw and cart titans, who both seemed to be severely injured, maybe even on the brink of death. Levi came in quick like lightning, aiming for its nape. As he sped down, somehow, she matched his inhuman speed, wiping him away with a swipe of her tail. Levi caught himself by his feet on a nearby building, launching himself back at her. Back and forth they exchanged blows, both of them so skilled at their movements that it almost felt like a choreographed dance, each of their hearts feeling like they stopped beating as they held their breaths, unsure as to who would make it out of there alive. Levi was impressed, and it made him that much more determined to capture her. Levi came back at her, sure he'd aimed himself right towards the nape, but was shocked as he stared at her human form, throwing him off. A smart move--she had emerged from the nape herself this time to surprise him. He was moving so fast that he couldn't change trajectory, and he didn't want to risk killing her since it'd be the smart move to capture her and bring her back to Paradis. He faltered, holding his blades back, but was met with a strong punch to the face. Levi felt the blood rush to his face on impact, and he fell to the ground.

The blow was quite strong, and Levi saw stars as he watched her jump upon the lifeless titan bodies, grabbing Pieck and Porco from the napes of their titans.

He was out of commission, laying on the ground trying to catch his breath and calm his spinning mind, and once again, he watched the shifter run away with the two, Porco on her back, Pieck in her arms. He watched her turn and look at him again, this time, seeing what might have been sadness in her eyes, but also a strange sparkle of curiosity as she stared back at him. The moment ended as she turned around and continued to run to safety.

And now, this was the third time he encountered her. Levi lay in the grass, his wounds from the explosion with Zeke oozing blood all over his face. He was falling in and out of consciousness as he stared Floch in the face, who held him at gunpoint. Levi thought this might be his end, but suddenly, he saw a flash of yellow light, and then, all the Yeagerists were gone. He felt himself being carried quickly into the forest. He couldn't make out who had saved him, but whoever it was felt warm, and he oddly felt very safe as his vision gradually went black.

Levi woke up, a dull pain all over his body. He felt bandages on all of his extremities, and what felt like stitches across his face. He turned to see who was sitting next to him, the person who had saved him from what seemed like his inevitable death. His vision blurred until it finally focused on a weirdly familiar figure. It was...

"Hi, Levi. You're finally awake! You had me pretty worried."

Levi's breath hitched in shock--he felt his heart raced as conflicting feelings rose from his chest, knowing she was his enemy, yet, for whatever reason, she had been in the right place at the right time, and saved him. Levi tried to sit up, but quickly felt dizzy, and felt her hand on his chest, urging him to lay back down.

"Easy, shorty!"

What?

SHORTY?

"...What the hell did you just call me?"

"Shorty! Yknow, cause you're short!"

Levi felt a twinge of annoyance shoot across his brain.

"What the--I'll... I'll kill you right now!"

"Oh no, the little Shorty is gonna kill me, I better run, huh?" she teased, followed by a huge laugh.

Levi was thrown for a loop, a mix of emotions swirling around inside him from annoyance, to anger, to strangely enough, comfort. Despite being pretty annoying, her presence was warm. It put him at ease--at least in a way that no enemy had ever before. He watched her smile at him as he lay.

Coming to think of it--in all the times he encountered her before, she had never attacked him directly. Only in defense of her comrades. Every time, she was there to save people, and ran away. He found that to be quite strange considering this wasn't the case with any other Marleyan he had encountered so far. And this time... she had saved him. An enemy.

"Why?"

"Why, what, Shorty?"

"Okay, stop calling me that... four-eyes."

"Oooh a nickname for me now?" She asked excitedly.

God.

"Why are you here? Why did you..."

"Save your butt?" she said matter-of-factly with a big grin at the end.

Despite his annoyance at that, Levi nodded his head in agreement.

"Well... you seem like a good person, Levi Ackerman. Despite all the rants I've heard from Zeke. He thought you were dangerous, and I mean, rightly so based on what you've done to him. But! I knew you had a good heart. And I think you proved it a little more to me over the past few days."

She laid a fist on his chest, right over his heart.

"You were in and out of a fever for a few days and I'm not sure if you remembered but, we did talk a lot."

Levi was surprised, and wondered what they might have talked about--he truly didn't remember any of that. She could have been lying... but her eyes looked pretty genuine. Whatever he said clearly allowed her to feel like she could trust him.

Levi had a million questions, but his mind was interrupted as she crawled towards him.

"Looks like you can probably handle yourself from here. I left some medicine in that bag over there, and there's some food and water I have stashed for you in it as well."

Suddenly, he felt her face achingly close to his. And he felt, a small kiss on his forehead. And for whatever reason, he felt calmness fall over him. She stood up, and began to walk away.

"Wait--" Levi felt himself say, surprised at the amount of longing and desperation in his voice.

She stopped without turning around.

"My name's Hange. Hange Zoe." she said, as though she read his mind.

"Hange..." Levi said, feeling warm as her name rolled off his tongue—as if it was the name of an old friend.

"Maybe in another life, we could have been friends, Levi."

She turned, and felt a surprising amount of emotion build up inside her as she locked eyes with him. He looked sad to see her leave.

"Or maybe well... if both of us survive all of this..."

"I'll find you, Hange."

She stared back at him, her mouth slightly agape in surprise. After a moment, she felt her lips curl into a smile, unconsciously.

"Okay, Levi. I'll hold you to that promise. And if that day comes... I'll tell you everything you said to me in your little feverish state," she whispered with a grin.

And with that, she turned, disappearing into the forest, leaving Levi staring at her long after she was out of sight.

[whaleofatjme1920]

HEY B GIMMIE THAT SWEET SWEET RIVAL MATCHUP U ALREADY KNO

You already know who this is but ill still give u a hot rundown: My names Ally, im 20 years old 5’7’’ and a Leo/year of the dragon/INFP. She/They pronouns and im Pansexual but i dont think that matters much in this situation >:P. Appearance wise i have shoulder length curly red hair and green/grey eyes, suuuuper pale skin and freckles. Im def an ambivert, very protective of people who mean alot to me and kind of sharp tempered, especially when people start talking about shit they dont know anything about. Im also a pretty big perfectionist and people pleaser and will beat the FUCK outta myself if i feel like i let people down or made people upset when i could have helped it. But thats all about me, heres those wacky questions!

- Stated before, but im an August Leo! I would say my aura would probably be a pinkish/ purple color? For dislikes i def dont like bitter foods, being too hot, rumors, people talking behind my back, ppl who act like they know what theyre talking about, ppl cutting me off when i lose my train of thought, conservatives, not caring about climate change/the planet in general, tight or restrictive clothes, not having enough time in the day, capitalism, ect. Honestly the most off the wall thing for me that would make me throw hands on sight would probably be someone saying some shit about my close friends behind their back to me.

- Once when I was 14 me and about 10 other people squeezed into a mini van at about 3am and drove around the town, not a single one of us had a license or were over the age of 16, and we were all ridiculously drunk and high the entire time (except the driver. we were underage, not stupid). After driving halfway across the island we got pulled over by cop on the interstate, and he walked up to the car, looked at the driver, then into the passenger seat and saw literally 10 KIDS OBVIOUSLY DRINKING and the car absolutely reeked of bud, then looked back at the driver and simply told him “Your tail light is out. Get home safe” and drove away. Ive never seen god faster than that moment LMAO

- I could never willingly fight a raccoon, youre sick for suggesting that >:/ They are precious boys and ive saved too many from drowning in my pool for me to lay a finger on one. And as for dealbreakers? My biggest one in a relationship is cheating, but thats pretty basic LMAO. I would also say one that’s definitely second in rank would be expecting someone to stay the same through out the relationship and getting upset when the person changes. We are human beings and developing and growing, if you dont support me in that nothing is going to work. I explained a bunch of things i dislike in people above, but ill also add in here people who hurt animals in any way/ litter for no reason. If one of my friends throws a piece of trash out of my car im slammin on the brakes and youre getting out and picking it up. And god forBID you touch an animal around me il doing whatever you did to it to yourself no hesitation.

- I would hate being stuck in a room with anyone, i have decently bad claustrophobia and if we were in there for more than a day i would start bugging out LOL But probably the worst type of person would be someone who just doesn’t shut up and trys to act like they know everything. Those are like, the most insufferable people to me. ESPECIALLY if theyre wrong and refuse to admit it. Whenever i think of being locked in a room, somehow i always imagine like a dark navy blue room with one small window and completely empty floors and walls, everything made out of carpet. Dont ask me why, i have absolutely no clue.

my feed back is ily bitch gimmie a good one i wanna fight a bitch

Your enemy is… Eyeless Jack!

In general:

I told you this yesterday but I wasn’t expecting you to send this in and must've spent like 5 straight minutes wheezing reading this. My gut reaction was Jeff, but based on what you wrote about the room, I’m going to say your enemy is actually Eyeless Jack!

Things he doesn’t like about you and how he pisses you off:

EJ doesn’t like that you’re a Leo. I’m not elaborating on that. He’s such a cold, clinical, heartless bastard that everything you are just goes against whatever tf he actually believes and acts as. I feel like you being a perfectionist would just brush against his perfectionist tendencies and habits. He’d say everything you’re doing is wrong. Just a dick. EJ may or may not exploit your weaknesses but that’s just because he thinks it’s fun and doesn’t like you.

EJ is a god of knowing what he’s talking about and it leads to this cocky, know it all attitude. It’s gonna brush you the wrong way. He knows that and takes joy in it. He will always attempt to one up you in knowledge and grin when he sees you falter. On the other end, if you catch him off guard he’s gonna be SO MAD. He will purposely turn up the heat in your presence just to make you upset. He will breathe down your neck and get in your personal space just to make you more uncomfortable. EJ isn’t anywhere NEAR a conservative or a climate change denier but he will take those positions just to make you mad and laugh over your attempts at arguing with him. Like Jeff, he’s a huge devil’s advocate and will start shit just because he can. I don’t actually think he’d talk about your friends negatively in front of you though, but he would definitely say stuff about you to your face.

EJ thinks it’s stupid you drank underage and will poke that memory. He will use insults about alcohol and the brain despite drinking a ton himself. If you call him out on it, he will fold. Literally throw everything he says about you back at him and he will get puffy and fast. EJ can’t always handle change that well so like, he’s a stubborn guy. Despite how logical he can be and how smart he is, socially he is so uncouth!! EJ doesn’t litter so you don’t have to worry about that but he’s definitely gonna do things that push your buttons, mostly say things that put you off. He’s not claustrophobic. He will put you in situations like that just because he can. The dark navy blue of his mask is going to haunt you. EJ will act like a god in your presence and snarl when you dare question his abilities. CALL HIM OUT. HUMBLE HIM PLEASE.

He agrees on the raccoon thing ngl. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, but EJ has such a soft spot for animals - mostly birds - but he can’t fault you for the raccoon thing. He's also not too fond of litter so he has to agree with you on that one too.

Closing Thoughts/Other Things:

Knowing you for as long as I have, I was so, so ready to actually put you with Jeff. However, the more I read into this the more my intuition screeched that you would actually throw hands with EJ and I find that HILARIOUS. Just the arguments between you and this tall, muscular demon man is just - “what? What? WHAT” It’s beautiful. I’m serious, Merida vs. a literal demon. That’s all. Ily. <3

Diabolik Lovers Tag Game

Ava: Thank you so much to the wonderful @raburabusama for the tag! I really enjoy these types of posts. They’re so much fun! And, of course, I’m tagging @vampiretsuki as the rules state. I adore both of your blogs and enjoy seeing what you both post each day. ^^

Rules: Answer the questions and tag anyone else you wish to see participate~ Also tag me (@Vampiretsuki) if you do this because I would love to read your answers~!

                                   ┕━♔━┙

1.- Who would you rather take to a night club, Carla or Azusa? I’ve never been to a nightclub and I don’t exactly plan on going any time soon... Although, this is a fun scenario! I think Carla for the mutual distaste we probably would have for things like that. Plus! I hardly focus enough on the Tsukinami boys and I would like to take a chance to know them better. 

2.- In a Science test would you copy Yuma’s test or Ayato’s test? As the others have said, def Yuma! At least his attempt would be somewhat reasonable, whereas I adore Ayato but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be getting anything out of him and his airplane paper.

3.- Would you rather have Kino and Azusa or Shin and Laito, as your Butlers? I’m gonna go with Shin and Laito on this one. Once again, I wanna know a little more about the Tsukinami’s and that would be a really good opportunity! Not to mention, the thought of Laito as a butler has me kinda weak-

4.- Go on a date with Reiji at a Aquarium or go on a date with Subaru at a Cafe instead? As much as I love our little tsun,Subaru, and it would be adorable to go on a date like that, Reiji is my voice without a doubt. Whether it be at an aquarium or just enjoying some tea with him, I wouldn’t hesitate to go on a date.

5.- Would you rather go support/see Kou at one of his Concerts or go support/see Shu at one of his Violin Performances? Sorry Kou, but I wanna see Shuu shine. I reckon it would be beautiful to watch him play. The setting, the music... it would be stunning.

6.- In a Math Project would you team up with Ruki and Shin or with Reiji and Yuma? Once again, Reiji takes my vote- Him and Yuma wouldn’t be too bad of a team, especially since Yuma is far less stubborn than Shin, hehe.

7.- Who would you put your bets on, Kanato eating the most chocolates or Ayato eating the most Takoyakis? I think Kanato would stop once he begins to get a little nauseous, no matter how good the sweets are. So, I definitely have to give this one to Ayato. You just know he’d eat and eat and eat without an end in sight.

8.- Sleep in Carla’s room, Subaru’s room or in Shu’s room? (You have the room to yourself, they aren’t there) Would you peek on their stuff? Subaru. Definitely. His coffin looks actually kinda cosy and probably smells like him so I’d love that. Also... he does have a secret stash of magazines which I’d love to get my hands on and have a peek at, hehe. Along with other things he might keep locked away, too. Sorry Subaru, but I’m gonna be nosy. 

9.- You’re a princess of the Victorian era! Your father has ordered that you have a bodyguard.. who would you choose as your personal bodyguard, Laito or Kou? Laito, for sure! If this is the Victorian era, too, you just know he’s going to be unbearably raunchy. It would be so fun, and scandalous~

10.- Would you prefer to have Kino in his bat form as your pet or Shin in his wolf form as your pet instead? A little pet bat would be adorable, especially if it’s Kino. He’d pester you quite a lot, I can imagine. Shin, on the other hand, would be so darn stubborn but would be so cute and soft for cuddles, too. I think I’ll say Kino. 

11.- Break a fight between Kou and Ayato or between Laito and Kanato? Getting in between Kou and Ayato sounds like a death wish. They’re both so assertive in their own ways, I would be left in tears... Kanato is terrifying in his own way too, but I reckon it would be easier to calm down Laito (depending on how heated the fight is). So, Kanato and Laito.

12.- Who would you kiss on the cheek, who would you kiss on the forehead and who would you kiss on the eyelids? Options: Ruki, Subaru, Azusa. Hmm... that’s a toughie. I’d kiss Azusa on the forehead, because he’s a cutie. Ruki on the cheek, but it would have to be quick because he is high key kind of scary... and Subaru on the eyelids, hehe. 

13.- Take care of Shu and Reiji in their Chibi form or take care of Subaru and Kino in their Chibi form? Shuu and Reiji, for sure. They’d both be so adorable in their chibi forms, I wouldn’t be able to handle myself!

14.- Sing/Perform in public Laito’s Q.E.D Song or Reiji’s Mr.ButterflyMask song? I prefer Reiji’s sadistic song... but in terms of singing? The english is a bit awkward for that, lol. I’d go with Q.E.D. ^^

15.- Would you rather wear Ruki’s casual outfit or Yuma’s casual outfit? I do like Ruki’s outfit, but Yuma takes the win here for me. It looks a lot comfier and although it would be waaaaay to big on me because Yuma is so tall, it would be pretty cosy <3

16.- Go on a Vacation trip with Shu, Kino and Ayato at a Amusement park or go with Shin, Azusa and Subaru at a Water Amusement Park? Going to an amusement park with Ayato sounds like SO much fun. Shu and Kino too? Sure! They wouldn’t be too back, but I reckon it’d be a better way to spend time than a water park...

17.- Would you rather get lost in a forest with Reiji, Kino and Kou or with Ruki, Carla and Kanato? Reiji. 100% I would trust that boy over anyone else when lost in the forest. Besides, if the others are stubborn and refuse to follow, we’ll just leave ‘em there and Reiji and I can spend some quality time alone :3

18.- Who would you cook breakfast for? Who would you make a scarf for? and Who would you do a drawing for? Options: Kou, Azusa, Shu. I think Azusa would be the kindest about my lack of drawing skills... so that <3 As for breakfast? Maybe Kou. and the scarf would be for Shuu because he’s a comfy boy that would enjoy comfy things like that. 

19.- Participate in a Circus as Carla’s Knife thrower assistant or go to a Casino with Shin and be offered as a bet/reward by him in the Roulette Wheel game? (So if Shin looses you’ll be taken away by whomever won) Hah, not a chance I’d trust Shin with that (sorry, my guy :( ) so i’d definitely have to say I’d be Carla’s knife throwing assistant. I sorta trust his aim ;-;

20.- Who would you rather catch by accident taking a shower, Yuma or Kanato? Pfft- Yuma, of course. I mean, can you just imagine that visual? What a lucky, lucky girl I would be to see that man’s chiseled chest, wet and untied hair, happy trail, and bare ass-cheeks-- (sorry, adhglsj)

                                   ✦❘༻༺❘✦

Ava: I’ll tag @reijisama , @ayatobio , @admin-sama , @danas-wonderland , @bloodiedtears , @strawberry--bride (either admin or Sharon!) and anyone else at all that would like to do it! Of course, feel free to not do it too. ^^

Mr. Hollywood - Cliff Booth x Reader [Smut]

Synopsis: After hitchhiking the California coast doesn’t work out, a sexy stranger decides to do the right thing, and it pays off-- for both of you.

Notes: Hey everyone! I saw OUATIH last night so I figured I’d write some more Tarantino smut! Cliff (Brad Pitt) was def the hottest character. Stunt daddy. Anyway, not many spoilers in this. Just little references to the movie, so if you haven’t seen it yet, it’s up to you if you wanna read :) I’ve put everything even remotely spoiler-y below the cut. Enjoy!

Now on ao3!

You lick a long stripe of vanilla ice cream up the side of your melting cone. The sun is hot today, and you're glad for the cool treat to chill you out.

You'd been waiting by the side of the highway for what seems like the entire day. Aren't short shorts supposed to increase your chances of getting picked up?

You run out onto the road waving as a convertible zips past you, and you sigh.

"Bummer," you whisper, taking another slow lick of your ice cream, and turn. You barely have time to scream as you try to jump out of the way of a speeding sports car.

That's the last thing you remember.

---

Cliff pats his hand along to the song on the radio, idly trying to identify it. Getting away for the weekend was a good plan-- he needed the time away from work, or lack of it, and while he loved Rick, he needed a break from that hot mess of a poor bastard for a while too. That's the good thing about living in Hollywood. He was just a short drive away from the coastal waters of the Pacific, there for when he wanted to cut through the shit and remember what it's like to be a living, breathing man again.

Bad Moon Rising, Creedence Clearwater. That's the fucking name of this song. Hey... what's--

In the distance, Cliff spots something by the side of the road. Someone!

A girl, lying on her side.

"Sheeit," he mutters, really toiling here. He just wants to get to his fucking motel and sleep for 24 hours by the beach... then again... hit and run passed out young thing on the side of the road...

Cliff resigns himself to being a good Samaritan. He pulls over. The little yellow car comes to a sputtering halt beside you, and you stir a little. Cliff lets his reflective sunglasses slide down his nose as he takes a good look at you. You've got a deep gash running across your chest, stuck with gravel, but other than that, you just seem to be a little bruised up.

"Look at you! Somebody's done some damage," he remarks, squatting down beside you.

"Not too much, I hope," you croak, wincing.

"Don't think so," the man smiles a little, "Face is pretty as I've ever seen one." He frowns a little, obviously chastising himself for flirting with a girl that currently resembles roadkill.

"You don't have to stop hitting on me," you smirk, coughing a little as you try to sit up. "It's making me feel better."

"In that case," he grins, helping you to your feet, "Why don't you tell me what the hell happened, beautiful?" You stumble a little, and he holds out his arm again. "Take this here bicep-- that's it, right there--"

"Are you flexing?"

"Don't know what you're talking about--"

"You are!"

"Okay, maybe a little. Kind of a lot." He gives a low chuckle, and guides you to his car, where some CCR song is just ending. He takes off the yellow Hawaiian shirt he's got on, leaving him in a tight white sleeveless shirt. He hands you the article to put pressure on your wound. 

“But your shirt--”

“More where that came from. All just as ugly.  Here we are. Theeere's a good girl-- you just sit there all nice like, and you tell me how I came to find you like that, all fucked up with a smushed ice cream cone beside you."

"I was waiting for a ride... guess I ventured too far until the road, and got hit. Kind of. I feel like I didn't actually get hit."

"A shock graze." Cliff nods, some part of him relieved that you weren't actually hit by a speeding car.

"A what?"

"In the business, that's what we call it. You get a... close call, feels like the real thing."

"You a race car driver or something?" you tease, trailing your fingers up his jeans. 

He flashes another one of those half smiles. "Stunt double."

"Ooh," you cough, grimacing as you hold his shirt on your gash, "Hollywood type. You don't strike me as that type, Mr. Hollywood."

"Well, that's because I don't technically live there, angel. Just work and breathe there. I live in Burbank with my girl."

You quirk an eyebrow. "You've got a girl, huh?"

He glances over, sees your expression, and laughs. "Yep. My dog, Brandy. She's a bratty little mutt. Love her to death."

You smile. "Far out. I dig dogs."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

"Well, good thing I didn't bring her. She don't take too kindly to strangers." You think he's serious, until he wiggles his eyebrows at you. He gives you another sideways look, switching between you and the road. "Where you from, anyway?"

You shrug. "Around."

He shakes his head. "Nah, see there ain't none of this 'around' shit. I pick you up, I gotta know if you're an axe murderer, or... if you're just here to toy with me before you kill me or some fucking bananas natural born killers shit."

"I don't wanna kill you," you snort, "But toying with you sounds like fun." You turn fully toward him. "Besides, where would I fit an axe? Up my ass?"

He bursts into incredulous laughter, and shakes his head.

The California coastal countryside passes you by as Cliff drives on to his digs by the beach waiting for him.

"You sure you're doing okay, honey?"

"I'll be fine," you say softly. "Thanks for finding me."

The two of you drive on in relative silence, stealing glances at one another when the other isn't looking. Cliff is a man of few words, but he's attractive, and you can't wait to see what lies ahead... if your wounds would kindly give you a break for the night.

He's really a sexy stranger-- well, he's not much of a stranger. He's introduced himself to you, hasn't he? And you haven't returned the courtesy.

"Name's (y/n)," you say, resting your elbow on his right forearm, "I'm backpacking here."

"Backpacking," Cliff nods, taking a right turn, "Sounds like fun. You oughtta be a little more careful, though."

"Damn right," you huff, "My bleeding chest is teaching me that." You look down at it, pulling the sticky shirt away. It looks a little better now-- the bleeding's stopped at least.

"When we get to mine, we'll get that dirty old shirt off you and wash you up proper, sound good?"

"Mhm," you nod. "Thanks for doing this, Cliff. You didn't need to."

He smirks. "I know. Still don't know why I did."

You smirk back, leaning into him. "I'll show you why you did."

He chuckles again, and hits the gas harder, peeling around another bend. In about five minute's time, you make it to what looks like a little shack... right on the beach, no one around for miles.

"Yep," he runs his hands through his blonde hair, "It ain't much, but it's home away from home."

"It's amazing," you say truthfully, closing your eyes and listening to the waves practically hit the side of the little house. "Where I'm from, there's no water for miles. This is beautiful."

He nods in thanks, squinting out at the water with his hands on his hips.

"Not my property, actually. It belongs to the state of California, or some shit. I’ll just live here until they find out."

"When's that gonna be?"

He shrugs. "They haven't noticed little old me in 30 years."

He helps you inside. It's just as homely you would imagine with someone like Cliff. It's not messy per say, but it's lived in, and comfortable. A couple broken signs hang lopsided on the wall, one neon bar sign with the pink silhouette of a busty woman holding a beer, and one that reads "What happens at the beach house stays at the beach house."

It's a nice place.

"Mine," you grin, and lay across the sunken couch. He smiles, flinging your feet off the cushion with a heave.

"Mine," he corrects. You compromise by tossing your feet over his lap, and he shakes his head, groaning.

"I picked me up a troublemaker here." He takes a good look at you. "Rick would love you. You're just his type."

"Rick who?" you ask, twirling your hair.

"Dalton. He's my boss."

"The movie star? Huh." You look down. "And... what about you?"

"What about me, what?"

"Am I your type?"

He looks at you a long time, as if thinking about it. "I haven't decided yet." He shrugs it off, getting off the couch. "Enough chit chat. We gotta get you clean."

"You gonna shower with me, Mr. Hollywood?"

"No, I'm gonna direct you to the shower, and leave you to goddamn shower on your own like a big girl."

You giggle, hanging onto his arm as he ushers you down the hall. "Big girls need their daddies too, sometimes."

He hesitates, and you see something flicker behind his eyes. He buries it quickly, but you saw it-- you know his weakness.

In the washroom, you take off your clothes, and gingerly get into the spray, letting it run over you. The cut's doing a lot better now, and though you're bruised from the fall, you're okay. You're just lucky a man with half-decent morals found you.

Getting out, you tug on the boxers Cliff had left you beside some other clothes of his, and get an idea.

---

"What the hell am I doing with her?" Cliff mumbles aloud. He wished Brandy was here-- she was a good listener. "Shit. Pretty girl naked in my bathroom? Nah. I ain't doing shit with her."

He starts to blend some ice and Miller (his personal favourite creation he likes to call the Daily Grind) and lights up a smoke. He takes a deep drag, thinking of your perky body, the way you'd looked at him in the case...

"Well now," he starts to walk around his house, "Cliff. You've been provided with a seemingly no-lose scenario opportunity."

Just then, he hears your footsteps approach behind him.

"Sorry-- I just thought it would be better if my injury got a little air..."

Cliff turns in question, and nearly drops hot ash on himself. You're leaning against the wall, completely topless, wearing only his boxers, riding down your hips.

"That's fine," he grins, huffing.

"Groovy," you wink.

He points to your peaked nipples with his cigarette. "You're not careful there, sweet thing, you're gonna catch a chill."

"I have you to keep me warm," you retort.

"God damn," he mutters to himself, smiling.

"I know it's a lot to ask, after you picked me up and everything... but you got any food around here? I'm staaarving," you bite your lip. He narrows his eyes. You're being coy now. He swings himself over to the little kitchen area, cigarette dangling from his lips.

"Hell, you think I'm gonna bring you all the way out here and not feed you?" He holds out a bowl of kraft dinner he made, and you take it, eating some of the gooey orange mess.

"Mmmm."

"Guessin' you’re a... big fan of mac and cheese," he smirks. You saunter up to him, desire dripping from your voice.

"I think I’m a bigger fan of you.” 

His beer concoction and cigarette are forgotten as you hop up onto him, forcing him to hold you by your ass. You wrap your legs around his back, and in one smooth swing, he has you turned and pinned against the counter.

"I have half a mind to tell you you're overexerting yourself, and send you to bed," he whispers against your lips. You growl.

"Don't you dare."

"I don't know," he plays, dipping his head back from another kiss, "You really think you're up for the pounding you're 'bout to get, honey bear?"

"Fuck yes, daddy, I want it," you moan, and that look comes over his face again.

"Then daddy's gonna give it to you."

He tugs the boxers down, and you use your toes to shimmy his jeans down, guessing correctly that he didn't have anything underneath today.

"Commando?" you murmur, kissing up his neck.

"I seem to've lent out my only pair of underwear," he teases, as you kick said pair off your ankle. You suddenly push yourself off the counter, and drop down to your knees, taking him all the way out of his faded jeans. You wrap your lips around the tip, holding by the base, and he groans, tipping his head back.

"Jesus H Christ," he mutters, "Haven't felt this since... shit, I don't even know..."

"Like it?" You lick along his shaft.

"Love it, babygirl, just love it."

You deepthroat him, and his groans get louder,. lazier, and more drawn out.

"Fuuuuck me up, that's special," he licks his lips, "You gonna let me return that favor?"

"Feeling your big cock inside me is payback enough," you moan, and pull his knees out, toppling him to the floor and crawling on top of him. Wide eyed for a moment, he lets you take the upper hand, but secures you tightly against his crotch as you grind there. His fingers dig into your hips, holding you there, guiding you, and your hands grab for his chest. After a moment of this, he flips himself back on top, and you feel two fingers slip inside you.

"That good?" he whispers against your face. You can barely speak-- you nod feverishly, clutching his muscular shoulders. "Mmm, you're a big girl, baby. I think you can handle three." He flashes a grin as he adds a third finger, and you rock down, moaning so loudly that if there WERE neighbors, they'd be calling the cops. "Come on now, I know you ain't shy. Moan for daddy. Make lotsa nice noises for daddy-- that's it."

"Fuck," you breathe, feeling your orgasm race.

"Come on, let em know!"

"FUCK, DADDY! Deeper-- deeper, right there!"

"Hell yeah. Hell yeah, baby, scream for me!"

You shout his name as you come for the first time, and he gives you a second to calm down before he threads his hand with yours on the kitchen floor.

"You good?"

"Yeah," you gasp, and he parts your legs, using your slick to pump himself a few times before getting between and pushing in. "Ohgod--"

"Okay?"

"Yeah, yeah."

He starts up a rhythm, holding you tight, propping your head up in his arms as he fucks you good and deep, harder with each snap of his hips.

"So close," you ramble, grinding down to meet his thrusts.

"Am too." He holds your hand, keeping you pinned as he waits for you, slowing his pace to gentle circles of his hips until you cry out, gushing around him again. He then fucks you hard through your amazing climax, keeping you close to him. He pulls out, rubbing your clit to draw you out as he comes as well, some hitting your inner thigh. You bite your lip, laying down and closing your eyes in bliss.

"'M all fucked out," you yawn, and Cliff keeps himself propped on his forearms above you. He shakes the blonde locks out of his face.

"You got exactly what you wanted, didn't you?" he smiles.

"Exactly what I wanted." You sling your legs around his neck, and he holds them there, massaging them lightly.

"I suppose you'll be wanting the rest of that mac and cheese?"

You shrug. "I've had enough. I'd rather fuck all night out there on your beach."

"Not my beach."

"On a beach. The beach."

"Thought you were all fucked out."

"Feelings are fleeting. They change moment to moment. Now are we gonna have some more fun or what?"

He chuckles, and picks you up so that you're riding on his shoulders. He then walks the two of you out the back door to the beach. "And away we go!"

[jenomark]

You write about the flaws and issues you sense in the boys, so I wanna know: what do you think 127 would be insecure/nervous about in the bedroom and how their s/o would reassure them? As much as I like reading about them, they def ain't confident doms 100% of the time 😂

Taeil: I don’t think he would have any, or at least, he’ll have everyone convinced that he doesn’t. I genuinely think he’s good at handling insecure thoughts, which usually only comes to people who are used to beating themselves down and have found a middle ground. I think there is real confidence in Taeil, but it’s so quiet. The only thing that throws me off is how agreeable he is. He does things because it’s easier for him if others take the lead. Most of the time he doesn’t care, but when it comes to love, he’ll want his s/o to be considerate of his choices. To do this, his s/o should approach sex with Taeil like it’s important to them, just like anything else. He’ll want more than their body if it’s going to last longer than one night.

Johnny: Raw vulnerability makes him nervous. Johnny can be an emotional guy. He’s clever at dealing with what he feels, kind of controlling what people see and what they don’t. A lot of people who use humor and a confidence shield often use it to hide the thing they’re protecting. He’s a strong man and he’ll fuck anyone really good, but the rawness of being with someone doesn’t come as naturally to him. He’ll need them to make him feel secure, but he won’t necessarily know how to ask for it. His s/o almost needs to ease him into opening up more. By being patient and letting him know that they aren’t going to hurt him, he’ll gradually let himself unravel a bit. 

Taeyong: I think he would be insecure about his body. I do think there is a lot of confidence in Taeyong when he’s being an idol, but all of that fades when he’s just being himself. He’s naturally skinny, probably doesn’t find it as easy to gain lots of heavy muscle. He’s quite shy about being unclothed in front of people he isn’t comfortable with. I think there would be a little hesitance when he’s getting ready to have sex and suddenly he can’t hide behind a bunch of costumes. His s/o should be with him because they love him, not because of who he is on stage. Reassuring him of that, and showing him just how much they appreciate the body he has, will make for a really good time.

Yuta: I think he’s pretty secure in himself. Yuta is a person who looks at every side of the picture thoughtfully, and I think that is how he approaches sex. He puts emphasis on being manly a lot, which is weird because he’s very feminine in nature. I suspect there might be some insecurity with that in the bedroom, but that is something he’ll easily overcome. My feeling of him counteracts everyone else’s. I think any nerves or insecurities Yuta has, will be because of the people he’s choosing to sleep with. He can’t be with someone who holds him back from anything at all. He’ll need a s/o that can let him shine bright, even if it’s just while he’s having sex. No one has to reassure him of anything because he already knows, but it’s good if they can accept him.

Doyoung:  He’s insecure about why they want him, and not someone else. There is a part of him who always feels like he isn’t good enough, can tend to feel like someone’s second place. If someone wanted to fuck Doyoung, he would think they were joking. It’s his natural state of mind to be a little self-deprecating. He does have confidence, but it’s not confidence in his sexual prowess. Doyoung doesn’t know how to be the perfect boyfriend, or the perfect lover. He builds up all of these ideas, but they’re things he’s seen other people have. He wants so many things that he’s too scared to allow himself. It’s only been very recently that I’ve seen him reaching out a little. His s/o will need to be fully invested in him by pursuing him and talking up his strong points. If there is anything Doyoung likes, it’s a person who knows how to use their mouth well.

Jaehyun: Coming too quickly. Hear me out. I think, when he gets really excited, he can get a little carried away. He turns into this loud, overachiever that acts before he thinks. If he was in the mood to fuck, he would misbehave a little bit. I think he wouldn’t be able to contain all of the feelings inside of him, and as soon as his cock entered them, it would be a race to the finish line. He’s competitive and he wants to win. I can see him coming too early sometimes, but I don’t think his s/o would be able to sense that it was a major insecurity. If they did, they should do something to distract him so that he slows down. Being plowed by Jaehyun will feel fantastic, but the slower he goes, and the more eye contact he makes, the better the stroke game.

WinWin: He’ll want to be the best they’ve ever had. I think, comparison is a big thing for him. He compares himself to a lot of people. He doesn’t mean to do it, but it’s something that can make him feel good inside and give him purpose. WinWin, to me, seems like the type to obsess over how many people his s/o has slept with and if those people were better at sex than he is. There would be a lot of surprises in store for them while they are with him, because he wants to top what the last person did. To make him feel like he’s the only person they want to be with, they’ll have to be honest with him. He does appreciate the honesty and he can definitely take that energy. Also, letting WinWin take the lead will work out in their favor.

Jungwoo: He would care a lot about whether his s/o was enjoying themselves. He doubts if he’s adventurous enough, sexy enough, and if he goes down on them in the way they want. He’ll eventually push his s/o to be vocal about what it is they need from him. I don’t see him being very insecure, or too nervous. Emotional? Very. I think he’s gotten a lot more secure in himself than he was when he was younger, and I think it’s because people react so positively to him. Not that he cares what people think about him, because he doesn’t. He definitely likes to be praised for doing a good job. Jungwoo would be nervous the first time having sex, but all his s/o would need to do is make him laugh. Take the pressure off of him to be perfect, treat him like he’s a good friend, be loud, and he’ll hear them, and deliver.

Mark: How well he performs, in general. He lives inside of his head. When I think about his mind, it’s like a bunch of strings connecting one thing to another. He overdoes and overthinks everything. I can see him being the type to avoid a lot of things. His s/o would have to be someone he’s comfortable with, and they would have to be someone not expecting so much from him. He’s Mark Lee on stage, you know, he’s this big presence. In private, he just wants to be Mark (which is also, in my opinion, something he’s not as comfortable with).

into the Ogata fray

Hello Golden Kamuy peeps on tumblr, I’m toeing into the fray in regards to the most talked about character (in my humble opinion) Ogata. Apologies this is a bit long but whatever.

As work is about to get a lot busier in about a week, I figured I gotta do this now or never so here goes nothing.  Also, I’d love to thank the peeps who have been having a great dialogue on this already I’m looking at #hundredogatas and #goldenkamuyhunting for some great analyses.

I already posted some of my comments over on Mangadex in regards to chapter 165, Flag Bearer, trying to wrap my head around Ogata’s motivations and his role in the series.

I’ve really taken to the idea that Ogata is a fundamentally hurt character who has been hurting for so long that he doesn’t even know it anymore.  He had normalized his “abnormal” feelings.  As a result of his normalization to this he became in a ways “dead” to a lot of things, I agree with many others that he does have feelings but he keeps them buried deep down for the most part and the occasionally bubble to the surface.

The first instance of his feelings/humanity bubbling up are quite early on.  Others have already highlighted he did not kill Huci or Osoma when going after Tanigaki.  He is quite clear that he does not believe in unnecessary violence or actions.  The second time this pops up is in the showdown in Barato.  He saves Shinpei the gangster son and even though he calls him a weakling he is the one who allows him to be free of his meddling parents and move off on his home.  Yes, he’s drawn as a tough character but you see no malice or meanness in his expression, just a straight up explanation that he doesn’t like people who lack action or volition.  I felt he was just making a very firm point.

Throughout the series, I’ve always read Ogata as an individual who views himself as a self made man.  He rose to his position as a Superior Private through skill and hard work and in part by not making too many waves.  He highly values individuals who take control of their lives and their actions and have some sort of purpose; the people he dislikes the most are those who rose by family/title/rank which is obviously due to his horrible childhood/father issues that left him realizing that the concept of noble blood is pointless, especially given the fact that his own father made terrible military decisions. 

I feel that Noda-sensei likes to have his humanity bubble up occasionally and Asirpa will be the character who pulls it back to the surface due to her parallels with his brother.

As he is an astute observer of his surroundings and what we know of Lt. Tsurumi’s ability to manipulate people for his best outcomes I hypothesize that he recognized the “deadness” in Ogata and wanted to groom him to be the elite dirty deeds man of his select group from the 7th.  Tsurumi just keep pushing him further, first trying to get at him through his brother and then to assassinate his father.  Tsurumi thought he had groomed the ultimate stealth man for his future jobs.  These two parts of pages from ch. 165 just really highlight how “checked out” he was as a sniper in the trenches.  You could almost hear Ogata’s internal dialogue as “another day, another kill, another paycheck”.

This entire scene is so sterile, he takes his sniping very seriously but he’s so distant that he’s in his no emotion zone.

When ch. 165 gives the flashback with him and his brother discussing their roles on the battlefield and how he can’t get his hands dirty for the sake of his honor and their own father’s crazy ideas, I still feel torn on the situation.  I agree that Ogata’s brother loved and valued him as a human being and as he observed his brother closely (in the revised ch. 103) he did see that his brother had qualities that he lacked.  But I’d be as pissed as I’m guessing Ogata was at how hypocritical this point was to him.  It was almost as though it was egging him on to “go ahead and shoot” just to beat his brother in a philosophical argument to get back at their father. 

While trying to put things in chronological order, I feel that Ogata reached his breaking point with Tsurumi’s manipulation of him after he killed his father.

Here we have him thinking maybe shooting my brother might be a bad idea but i’m still hesitating just sooooo slightly with that just slightly less dead look . . .

to his oh you smooth talking bastard fake smile.  Granted this is from the original ch. 103, but I think it really gets the point across that he knows he’s been played and he’s hyper aware of the power Tsurumi wields over others.

I take it from this point on his goals began to differ and lead to him deserting.  I think it took a long time for him to feel confident that he could leave.  It was clear he at one point did feel intimidated by the power Tsurumi had over him based on how awkward his body language with Tsurumi was in ch. 164.  He’s totally informal when he’s sitting 99.9% of the time, yet he sits in seiza and buttons up his uniform. 

Here is his more informal, I’m totally hogging the heater while observing everyone around me/listening to Tanigaki’s story.

After he leaves the hospital he is now in his “liberated” form which is shown by his longer hair.  According to Noda-sensei in questions from readers in Young Jump that were translated by the peeps over at Kamuy Central, Ogata grew his hair out as he had become liberated.  What he was liberated from was unclear but it was a physical sign that he had changed somehow.  It is clear that his character has a beef with the military hierarchy and how many men died to poor decisions - which we later learn were his father’s to an extent.  This is early on when he’s discussing the type 30 rifle while sniping Tanigaki and how he continues to disagree with the whole “noble blood” line repeated by Tsurumi and backed by Koito to an extent.  With his new hairstyle he definitely expresses himself more to the other characters while he maintains his distance.

His immediate interaction with Hijikata is both pay attention to me and praise me (shooting the watchtower bell/skin on his head) but also, I’m gonna push you and sass you with my confidence b/c I know things.  Plus, he immediately makes a cutting remark about “what happens to your subordinates?”  If he were totally dead on the inside or missing his humanity he wouldn’t ask about the little guys being lead by Hijikata.  Again, I think this hints at his dislike of unnecessary violence.

We know he has issues with crappy fathers/poor leaders of people.  The angry screentones not only when Hijikata cuts off Asirpa from speaking but how he’s like she was about to say my father . . .

As a keen observer of people, he’s looking out for leadership qualities either actively or maybe even passively.  I’d like to make a really big leap for a minute and point out the cover to ch. 71

This cover has a quote from Matthew and features Tsurumi as the false prophet with Tsukishima and Nikaido.  Note that in the “Last Supper” scene here (ch. 81)

Ogata is in the place of Matthew.  If we go with the Asirpa is Jesus hypothesis, saving men with dark pasts to redeem themselves than I don’t think Noda-sensei just picked a quote from Matthew at random. Keep in mind Kiro is Judas, Sugimoto is Peter and Shirashi is John. Also remember that Matthew was a tax collector and not trusted or accepted by others but Asirpa clearly cares about him through the series. This leaves Ogata as the only person to argue against Tsurumi based on his shootout with Tsukishima in the taxidermists place as shown here

He is clearly telling Tsukishima that Tsurumi used these sentimental things to get men to follow him and dedicate themselves to his cause.  We learn much later that there is no way his motivations are based on surpassing his father - that was always a line Tsurumi told others but he does admit the he never knew what Ogata was thinking.

Anyhoo that was my really far reach, but getting back to his idea to keep his distance from people but ultimately wants to be loved aspect.  I’d state that Ogata hides some of his feelings towards others through is constant jests or teasing, despite having a hard time accepting that Tanigaki didn’t kill his comrades (who he def cared about a lot, which seems out of character at first) he gave Tanigaki the nickname “bear cub” and it stuck with others calling him that.  He also snarked at Tanigaki that if he wanted his nose cut off so badly he could do it for him.  I don’t think he meant this but it is clear he hides behind is sassy/sarcastic remarks.  As Tanigaki is the most innocent (and most similar to his brother) i’d say this spills over into his first harsh sadistic attitude towards him “beg for my help!” to “the dog did more than you.” to the harsh but in some ways likely true/protective “go back home”.  He says one thing but his actions speak otherwise just like the gangster son back in Barato.

Despite bitching about Sugimoto slowing them down while fleeing the 7th, he lets Asirpa treat him here

He’s being a bit pissy and I love the arms crossed body posture but you can tell he’s just being pushy to make sure they don’t get caught.

My absolute fav scenes of how he keeps his distance are the beach ones here where everyone holds hands and jumps while he watches over them.

Which then highlights him in the background several panels later while Asirpa and Sugimoto talk about beach kamuy etc.

He frequently is shown with his back towards many other group members, which would imply trust to an extent, he expects them not to stab him in the back so to speak.  When he shoots the herd of reindeer he states that they are just like people with one on the lookout - in the groups that he has been a part of he’s the lookout.

He may be alone and isolated but he’s always playing an important protective role towards others.  I’m not sure to what extent he realizes that he does this but he’s almost always drawn looking back while others are looking forward or looking the opposite direction of the rest observing everything.  He def is a protector of others, especially those who cannot fully protect themselves.

Ever since the beginning of the series we’ve know most character’s motivations for the gold but his remains a complete mystery.  Another tumblr post mentioned it could be the geisha debt that his mom had that he inherited, which makes sense to me, but really we still don’t know why he even joined the military. Being a solider wasn’t going to be enough at the rank of a superior private to pay off that debt . . . . I want that question answered for me - yes, it was clear he was a sharpshooter from a young age but he clearly could have been a successful hunter instead of a solider.  I hope we get answers to this in the manga.

As others have stated, since he was the only character to really respect Asirpa from the get go other than Sugimoto and that they are clear foils of how different people deal with PTSD, our current story arc will hopefully work in how Asirpa will save him by treating him like a real human being and in return he will protect her from older men/the establishment from using her.  For most of the series Ogata and Kiro were separated and we know that he knows more about Kiro than Kiro likely realizes.  The benefit of being a quiet introvert means a lot of the characters don’t notice him or read him as well as they could.

These recent panels highlight how he actually gets Shirashi and Asirpa to realize something is off and it likely has to do with Kiro.  I love how he gets Asirpa to realize they were being targeted for a reason and that stressed out look on Kiro’s face is so perfect.

Ogata knew that both Tsurumi and Hijikata knew of the links to the partisans in the far east and that Wilk and Kiro were linked.  He just needed to clue in the nicer party members to this fact.  He had to betry Sugimoto to get close to Kiro for him to play his hand.  He’ll protect Asirpa b/c that’s what he does.

I could go onto some other points but I should stop here.  Phew.  I think I could leave those for later posts.  Like how he shows affection through teasing ALL the TIME.

This is completely unfinished and unedited. I’m sure his character has actually changed SO MUCH since I initially wrote this so enjoy a Relic

OCs as Companions - “Bishop” Fallout New Vegas

Basic info:

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Affiliation: Independent, Courier *optional*

Role: Companion

Location: Pioneer Saloon, Lucky 38 Penthouse

Base SPECIAL: S2 P8 E4 C6 I10 A9 L1

Tagged skills: Medicine, Survival, Speech

Perks: Logan’s Loophole, Confirmed Bachelor, Fast Shot

You meet Bishop at the bar in the Pioneer Saloon. When approached, he asks you snidely if you’re looking for repentance too. If the courier says yes, he asks for 50 caps then expresses that he used to let people confess for free but caps became more important than his good faith. If the courier says no, he says that any church he belonged to is gone anyways, and that he lost his ticket to paradise years ago, but people pay good caps for a little reassurance and will continue to do it for a good price.

If the Courier has [Confirmed Bachelor], the option “I could use a little faith” will cause Bishop to flirt back. Asking him to follow you at this time will not result in recruitment.

Any option calling Bishop a Fraud or greedy will cause him to become completely unrecruitable.

Later, you meet Bishop again in the Lucky 38 after your first meeting with House. He says that he’s sorry for spying, but Benny’s too big of an idiot to be allowed out on his own.

Francis is now recruitable

If you called him mean names during your first meetings he’ll reside in the Lucky 38s Casino and be a big ol bitch.

“Tell me about yourself”(post Dealt A Bad Hand): “Well, my first name's Francis. Bishop’s my last name. I was raised in an east coast vault, made my way over here after everyone else died some years back. I hopped from settlement to settlement before landin’ here. Never got to come here before the war so I figured it was now or never. Turned out to be one of the best decisions i’ve ever made”

“What do you know about the platinum chip?”: Just about as much as you.

Trivia and additional information:

Bishop is taller than most wastelanders

Male couriers with [Confirmed Bachelor] can flirt with Bishop I’d flirted with initially

Having a reputation higher than Neutral with Caesar's Legion will trigger a conversation in which Bishop bluntly tells you he’s only staying with you because of his obligations to Mr. House and that if it was his choice he’d have left you already. Bishops personal quest becomes locked as well as any additional dialogue.

Killing or Disabling Mr. House causes Bishop to begin a conversation where he says that he’s upset Mr. House’s knowledge is no longer attainable, but won’t leave or treat you any differently. He says that since he’s out of a job he might as well continue to work for you. (Edit: he def leaves u now if u kill him LOL)

Bishop has a 9mm pistol named “St. Francis” in his inventory, a twin model to Benny’s “Maria” as well as an old Vault canteen with no number.

Bishops’ default armor is lightweight leather armor

Bishop will comment on the Old Mormon Fort, saying that he’s happy the best parts of religion have survived the war.

Placing cigarettes, whiskey, or chems in Bishop’s inventory will cause them to disappear

Unmarked Quest Walking by my Side

Placing a Scripture book in Bishop’s inventory will trigger a conversation where he thanks you and tells you about his family's old church.

Personal Quest

Quest Triggers: Completing 6 quests with Bishop as a companion

Quest Description: Bishop starts dialogue with the Courier and asks them if they’ll help him collect the ingredients he needs to finish off an experimental chem he’s been perfecting. He keeps it’s function extremely secretive. The Courier needs to collect and mix together Bleak Venom, Absinthe, Psycho, and a Stimpak. The Courier has the option to replace 1 Item with a random material, like Nuka Cola or healing powder. After giving the mixture to Bishop he will explain that due to a mysterious serum he took after leaving his vault over 100 years ago, he can no longer age despite his non-ghoul state. After realizing he could not age he started trying to develop a cure, which he could not. He will ask you to inject him with the mixture and kill him.

If the Courier can pass a [Speech 75] check, they can convince Bishop to not take the serum

A [Medicine 60] check can convince Bishop to keep perfecting the serum and cure himself.

If the Courier tampered with the mixture and used healing power or any other healing substance besides Bleak Venom, Bishop gains 20% damage increase and +3 strength.

If the Courier gives Bishop the mixture and did not replace the venom with healing materials he will die.

Outcomes:

Bishop doesn’t take the chem and while he remains disheartened he says that he’ll keep trying to find a cure

Endings

All Endings, Bishop died: Bishop’s true identity and knowledge goes to the grave with him. He never
