#but omg had i remembered what his boss is i would have not pulled for him again

[emirrea]

I decided to hop on my second Genshin account today, did the dailies and events that are available, got enough primos for like 9 pulls, and decided to throw them at Furina. I was close to soft pity and was guaranteed to get her, so no surprise that she came home. Yay!

I switch to Baizhu's banner kinda without thinking much, just going through in my mind what I need to get for Furina and whether I even have good teams for her. I do a couple pulls for Baizhu, still thinking that fuck, I don't really have any good healers that can keep up with the damage Furina deals to the whole team.

And then Baizhu comes home at 3 pity LMAO

Aaaand then I realised which boss I need to fight to level up Baizhu and legit almost cried

[mulders-too-large-shirt]

my favorite scully and mulder moments from s3

mulder bursting into his apartment in episode 2 after actually returning from the dead, only to find scully and skinner holding each other at gunpoint. he immediately asks if she is okay and pulls HIS gun on skinner, too (yes, he WILL threaten to kill their boss for her, thank you very much)

(and then they have this moment where they reunite for real and she smiles at him- i thought they were going to kiss but they didn’t, but either way it was so precious and genuine it made me lose my mind)

this exchange in the disease center archives: “lots of files” “lots and lots of files” yeah <3

after they flee through the back exit of the archives escaping what seemed like the entire US military, they meet skinner at a little diner in maryland, with all things seemingly forgiven between them

how he holds her after she learns melissa passed away, and how they both agree that they need to get back to work in order to keep them from going mad with grief (they were both in mourning at the same time- his dad's death was still very recent- and it is so touching to me how they were there for each other at every step)

they way they glance at each other while the “psychic” stupendous yappi is making incredibly vague claims about the killer at the crime scene in episode 4 (omg... does anyone have this gif?)

(and when the psychic claims that mulder has “negative energy” and needs to leave the room, she leans in and says “i can’t take you anywhere)

later in the episode, he comes in with the news that the item at the crime scene was made of chantilly lace, and he says “you know how i like it” in reference to the song by the big bopper. she makes the FUNNIEST face!!! it's a momentary mixture of horror and disgust before she composes herself. it is hilarious, i’ll see if i can find it. then she slaps a file on his chest and wishes him good luck in observing bruckman.

also, he is nearly killed in that episode, and scully shoots his would-be murderer- then they have one of those “comforting each other on the floor after nearly dying moments” that are like catnip to me

“imagine if it were true, scully. imagine if you could come back and take out five people who had caused you to suffer. who would they be?” “i only get five?” “i remembered your birthday this year, didn’t i?” <3 (from episode 5)

in episode 7, scully noticed that mulder had been carrying dental x-ray plates throughout their whole investigation, but never bothered to ask why because they were at the point in their relationship where such things do not need to be discussed

scully learning in episode 9 that she is slowly dying from the tests they performed on her while she was taken, and breaking the news to mulder- how he softly says “but you’re fine, aren’t you scully?” because he cannot bear to lose her (AUGHHHHHHHH) (and she confesses that she doesn’t know if she really IS okay… why do they place so much sorrow on her shoulders?)

mulder trapped on a ticking time bomb of a train in episode 10, calling her to say “scully, let me tell you, you haven’t seen america til you’ve seen it from a train” “DAMN IT MULDER, WHAT HAPPENED?!” <- lmaooo he has this constant Need to diffuse tension with a quip

scully is going through A Lot of Emotions in episode 11, and when it is time for them to go, mulder holds out her jacket for her to put on <3 and then goes and does the statement by himself as per her request so she can go “run an errand” (confession for the first time in 6 years), which he obliges without question

so much of the episode 12 dialogue: “mulder, you’re not thinking about trespassing onto government property again, are you?” “it’s too late, i’m already inside” (incredibly deep scully sigh) “well, what’s going on? what do you see?” <- yeah that’s them. if you’re gonna break federal law, at least tell her about it in depth.

scully sleeping with her phone on her pillow, waiting for another of mulder’s calls. when it finally comes, he’s going on and on about bambi and she is clearly displeased. finally, he asks “scully, can i confess something to you?” and she VISIBLY winces, with pain in her voice, but pushes through and says “yeah sure, okay” (this one KILLED me because she did NOT want to hear about his love life but she wanted to be a good friend... scully is so kind)

(and all he had to say was that he hates insects lmao)

((and how the episode starts with the two of them making a planet of the apes reference, then ends with bambi and dr. ivanov flirting by making a different planet of the apes reference))

mulder is losing his damn mind in episode 14, hadn’t slept for days, and was sneaking out to a crime scene. scully is so worried she tells him to stay exactly where he is and that she will be there soon so they can “work this thing out together, okay?” trying to talk him back into being himself, making sure he is safe... that's partnership <3

in episode 16, mulder gets in a car crash, but wakes up to find scully next to him in the hospital. he has a bandage on his head looking all pathetic, and she greets him with a smile. i wanted to bottle this moment and drink it like fine champagne.

their drive to north dakota after scully confronted the man who shot skinner and her sister- how tense that ride had to have been. what did they say? anything at all? i need to know, i need 10 fics NOW

and their conversation at melissa’s grave- how they both bring flowers, how he touches her shoulder, the way she shares her father’s friend’s theory that the dead speak to you from beyond the grave, which is a conscious. and how he, the man who is always pondering the meanings of life and death and what comes between, says honestly “that’s interesting. i’ve never thought of it that way” 

her falling asleep on his shoulder during the stakeout in episode 17; how he lightly taps her face to wake her up and says “i think you drooled on me”, which prompts a very fast and very embarrassed apology (!!!!!!!!!)

(also, pusher kept calling mulder "g-man" over the phone, so when they hang up he turns to her and calls her "g-woman" <3)

their very excellent coordination between scully grabbing the fire extinguisher and mulder using his jacket to douse the flames that episode

(and all the times in pusher they lean their heads together to share a phone <3)

when mulder has to go into the hospital to catch the pusher, he leaves his gun behind so he won’t hurt anybody- and he’s terrified and so is scully, so they look into each other’s eyes while holding hands before he departs

how she runs into action when he is in danger in the hospital; how she interrupts his game of russian roulette with pusher, and how she SCREAMS when he puts the gun to his head and pulls the trigger; that visceral "damn it, mulder!" filled with so much emotion in just a few words

how he fights the pusher’s mind control to prevent shooting her harder than he fought the mind control that made him fire at himself (!!!)

and after mulder escaped, having fired every round into pusher so he knew he wouldn’t hurt anyone else ever again, he watches as he is on life support. scully grabs his hand, having seen how terrified he had become, and tells him not to let this man take up any more of his time.

in episode 20, they receive roky’s fantastical report on his men in black encounter, which mulder reads aloud while scully lies on the bed of their hotel room, looking baffled (it is so CUTE!!!)

waking up to mulder in her room soon after that, having been under some mind control influence the night before, wondering why he was in there, and mulder trying to explain no, she actually invited him in!!

walking into the bait shop together in episode 22, sharing an umbrella while she holds the dog's leash <3

mulder offering to join her walking her dog, but she smiles and lifts up her jacket to show her gun and says she’ll be fine 

the whole conversation on the rock, but some highlights include “hey scully, do you think you could ever cannibalize someone?” and how she compares him to ahab (they’re both “so consumed by your personal vengeance against life, whether it be its inherent cruelties or its mysteries, that everything takes on a warped significance to fit your megalomaniacal cosmology”, which he responds to with “scully, are you coming onto me?”)

but then he gets very serious, talking about how he wishes it were enough to just Persist Despite It All and be free of expectations, how he loathes that “you’re actually expected to make something of your life- achieve something, earn a raise, wear a necktie”, and he is the antithesis of ahab because he might be happier with a pegleg. and god, that one makes me emotional.

(and then they both quote a line from the book <3)

oh, and i could not finish this list without this banger from episode 23: “he’s lied to me from the beginning. he’s never trusted me” “scully, you are the ONLY one i trust”

(cue tears as scully collapses into her mother's arms) (cue tears at mulder's dogged persistence he could bring her back, but it took a mother's love instead) (and cue tears that such love had been extended to him by mrs. scully, so much so that she knew he would never, ever threaten her baby)

[dazai2urchuuya]

I love the idea of teen Chuuya not understanding certain basic things when he joins the mafia.

“What do you mean paychecks? Food other than bread? Reading? What is a boss? Why can’t I punch anyone who gives me a funny look?”

Like you know he didn’t know shit about social manners or the concept of anything new or bought. Kouyou was teaching him how to act in a civil society like he’s a toddler.

“Ah yes kid old enough to drive, I’ll teach you how to read and write.”

Girl had to have been on the edge of giving up. She signed up to be a boss, not a mother.

Also just Dazai being like 😐 whenever Chuuya does something that’d only pass in the streets. Bro had be like: “no don’t eat with your hands, you’re too sexy”

And smartphones, you think Atsushi in episode 2 is bad? Chuuya bouta pull out the most grandparent question you’ve ever heard. Bros gonna have 1 tab on Google because he doesn’t know how to change them or a flood of tabs because he doesn’t know how to close them.

Bro finally gets his own apartment and is like: “what do you mean I own this, like this is only mine? Pop out closet? Is this 3005?”

Omg I just remembered bro has everything high quality, he’d be so easy to sell things too. Fitzgerald ain’t got nothing on my boy.

Imagine him discovering good quality booze, bro would be in heaven. He’d be super hungover not realizing how strong good liquor is.

I love my baby boy, baby Chuuya <33

[gh0stsp1d3r]

Omg you know how you said Tangerine would really want to marry Y/n because he was scared that something in his job might happen? What if Tangerine had a nightmare the night before their wedding, that something happened to Y/n and she comforts him🥺🥺

Nightmares

So… I’m back.. and I took a super long break, but I recently wanted to get back into writing so…

Most people thought that a strong guy like tangerine wasn’t scared of much, if anything.

You knew different. He was scared of losing you more than anything.

You’ve been together for years now, and he had just proposed to you not long ago. And the wedding was the next day.

You typed away on the computer, trying you best to get in as much work as possible. You’ve been taking a few days off to plan, and bills were coming up soon.

Even thought tangerine had told you repeatedly “Love, don’t worry about it- I’ll take jobs-“

You didn’t listen, because you didn’t want him to worry about it.

And so your fiancée sat next to you, watching tv.

“Love, I really don’t want you to worry about anything. We’re gonna have to wake up early tomorrow, Y’Know?” He said, sitting up and looking at you.

“Yeah, I know. (Your friends name) invited me to stay at hers but I wanted to spend the day together.”

“Just take a small break, please? You can continue in a few days.. after the wedding.”

You smiled slightly, and closed your computer gently. You climbed over and sat right next to him. You put your head on his shoulder.

“I can’t believe I’m getting married to you.” He mumbled quietly.

“I know. I can’t believe in getting married.” You laughed.

He laughed softly and glanced down at you for a second. It was peaceful, and nice.

———————————————————

He sighed as he got under the covers with you, he put his arms around your body.

You both knew of his nightmare disorder, he thought it was stupid and pushed it aside, saying he didn’t care. Ever since the bullet train, he’s been having reoccurring nightmares. You knew that, but you hoped that hopefully tonight would be okay.

“Goodnight. I love you.” You said.

“I love you too. Goodnight.” He said, and you both quickly drifted off.

Then, he heard your voice cry for him. You didn’t say tangerine, or any other nick name.

You said his actual name.

You were tied up, with a gun pointed to your head. You were alone.

“If only your fiancée cared about you enough to come save you. If only he never killed the boss.” The man shrugged with the gun still in his hand.

You screamed and cried, begging for him to let you go.

The man had his hand on the trigger and tangerine woke up quickly, breathing heavily and looking around. He looked down and realized you were sleeping, safely, next to him.

It’s only when he sighed quietly in relief, and got up from the bed when you woke up.

“Tan?” You mumbled sleepily, noticing he wasn’t next to you in bed anymore.

“I’m here, love, just getting a glass of water.”

“Mk… be quick.” You grumbled and pulled up the covers and made yourself more comfortable.

He smiled softly at you, and went out into the living room. He sat down and sighed, rubbing his temple.

What if that dream would be true one day? What if something like that actually happens?

He kept worrying and worrying, but something hit him.

You were getting married to him, he remembers you saying a few days ago “I don’t care what happens to me when I marry you, I care about what happens with us.”

He couldn’t imagine marrying or loving anyone else.

[fcknstar]

hey! i read ur marcus lopez fic and absolutely loved it ur so talented omg

i’m as wondering if i could request a fic with prompt 12 with marcus lopez x reader?

🫶

and if so could you also add me to your tag list?

,, after dark "

pairings : marcuslopez x gn!reader

summary : sometimes your past do catches up to you.

content warnings : disagreements

** lowercase intended**

if saying that you had your life together was an understatement. you were working for the biggest and most respected mafias in the country. it was normal to see at least one dead body in the alleyway. a lifeless body, dumped as if it had no worth that got pushed away as a broken furniture no one saw worthy to save. 

you were just an assistant who also worked as a hitman, being payed high for even injuring a targeted person. it gave you joy, you wanted to feed on souls that deserved nothing but death to come. you sucked in life of your victims, craving more and more as if it was like food and you were always hungry. 

your boss set you out to raid an abandoned apartment to where homed a filthy rich man who unfortunately died due to a heart attack. he kept many important documents that your boss wanted and tonight, thats where you were headed. 

you were clothed in a black skin-tight long sleeved top and short skirt which allowed you to hide your dagger, with a pistol on your waistline. when the time calls for it, you were going to be the one to kill whoever saw you and got in your way. 

you had not noticed the figure which hid in the shadows watching your every move. as you rummaged through the drawers, you heard something drop. you spun around, gripping onto your gun as you pointed to the person standing in front of you. 

" marcus? " 

" hey, i was just dropping by- "

" you arent supposed to be here, you know. " you advanced towards him, watching him stumble backwards. 

" well, neither should you. why dont you put the gun down, honey? " earning a glare from you, you made a move, linking your leg under his making him fall on his back. 

" oh, i remember this. " as you stood above him, he mumbled.

" ignoring your favorite person i see.. its okay.. i bet the memories follow you around dont they. " you dont hesitate but kick his side making him groan. 

" leave this place, act like we never even crossed paths. " you sigh, walking away from him. 

" dont you miss me? " 

" no i dont. and i will not. "

" but seeing you stalk me says otherwise.. how you constantly follow me wherever i go.. i suppose i am grateful that you are looking out for me. " marcus pouted. 

you could not accept how right he had been. you were so in love with marcus that you knew itd be difficult to start a life without him. but you could. for all these years before meeting him shows how you could live without him. but why cant you do the same knowing what you two have been through. how could you when the only thing that occupied your mind was him. how he often thought of your life first and put his own life on the line to save you. how could you ever want to leave someone like him. it was now your turn to look after him when he did everything to protect you. even if as strangers, you knew that you still wanted to be on his wavelength. 

" look, i know we left on terms we didn't agree on due to our statuses, but you can't blame me to not.. look for you. " it felt like you pulled a nerve when you confessed the last part. 

" but you did. "

" i had to okay! what would you do if you are being given a choice, to get your lover killed.. or have your own blood throw you away like youre some meat, even having them turn their back against you? i knew i was being selfish okay? i.. i just cant imagine having you die.. not when i know i could have done something. or me dying. so im sorry if i was being selfish, it was either you dying, or me. and you know what i would have picked. " you were now going on a tangent, gun placed away in its holder, with you rummaging through the drawers. you grabbed every document you could find. marcus just looked at you. 

" im sorry, okay?  i just wanted you, you to be safe and well. " you could have just chosen to have your family killing you, but in the moment, you just had to. it was either him being dead because you wanted to survive. or him being alive at the cost of your freedom. 

marcus never saw the side of your story, too busy grieving with his own. he watched you walk away as if he werent there. as if, he didnt mean anything to you anymore. but he knew, he knew that you loved him enough to save him without even thinking. 

a.n : m not very proud with this, dont know why. and to the person who requested this, thank you but sorry because i couldn't tag you, its not letting me. and so sorry for the long wait!

Omg, I've waited forever! Could I request an Adam Driver x gender neutal reader where they're his assistant on a movie set but they're super quiet and a bit intimidated by him. The reader is almost too quiet. After like a week of them tip-toeing around him afraid he's going to explode at any second Adam pulls them aside and tell them they're the best assisnt and gives them a big old bear hug the reader has a small meltdown of relif because they we're worried he was gonna flip out and fire them or worse.

There are benefits to working as an assistant in Hollywood, and you can't help but be thankful for having the opportunity. However, as with any profession, there were always drawbacks. When you worked as their assistant, you had to deal with obnoxious celebs, greedy directors, you name it. But you never imagined that one of the best performers of the decade would hire you as his assistant.

As an actor who took his roles seriously, Kylo Ren gave interviews that were concise and even a little cold. During the first two weeks after being assigned, you were tremendously anxious. You would mumble a humble "yes, sir" in response to Kylo's requests and then dash off to finish your tasks. Without a doubt, you didn't linger by his side any longer than necessary.

You respected him, yet you couldn't help but feel terrified. You can still remember the first day you met him as his new assistant.

You were in the middle of scanning through the roll call, checking the room to make sure everyone was accompanied. Earlier that day, you spent the last two hours answering phone calls for the director. It was very tiring, and you were happy to handle another task that didn't require much energy. However, it changed when your boss appeared with a grin on his face.

"(Y/N), I have another task for you during your time on this set." The director said, his pointer finger beckoning for you to approach him. The director was an older man with graying hair and a mustache in a gray-toned suit.

You tried not to outwardly sigh before getting up, keeping your clipboard in your hand as you approached.

"Yes, Sir?" You asked, looking up at the director with a professional expression on your face. "What exactly do you need me to do?"

The director could only grin more before replying, Yes, actually, you're going to be an assistant for our male lead! Do you think you can manage that?"

Oh great, another one.

Your professional mask slipped for a moment, and your eyes showed a hint of disapproval. However, you knew you weren't exactly in a position to refuse his request. "Of course, who will I be assisting, Sir?"

"That would be him." The director said, turning behind him before pointing across the room.

You glanced at where he was pointing, and you almost felt your heart drop to your stomach. Across the room, observing all the equipment with sunglasses concealing his eyes, was Kylo Ren.

"Sir, are we sur-" You started to say before the director interrupted you. He has a horrible habit of doing that.

"Try not to upset him too much; his last assistant was fired, and you know how that goes around here."

Your eyes widened as your mind processed what was being said. Before you could recover and politely ask to assist in something else, the director walked away, throwing a casual 'thanks' over his shoulder.

Great.

Your eyes returned to the towering presence observing the equipment; his face was stone-cold, and his concealed eyes made him seem like an enigma. You hesitated before checking the role call once more, hoping that perhaps he arrived at the wrong set and the director didn't check his cast like usual.

However, you were severely disappointed when, towards the bottom of the roll call, his name was mentioned.

Kylo Ren, Leading Male.

You were totally screwed.

It has been a few weeks and Kylo was seated in his very own director's chair, which featured his name attached to the back using velcro. Kylo was never fond of those chairs since they made his back ache when he sat in them. That, however, did not concern him in the slightest. Ever since he was given his newest assistant, he has always been left in a state of confusion or bewilderment.

He was certainly not oblivious; he was aware that his assistant had been avoiding him or making an effort to leave earlier than necessary. You only exchanged a few words with him, but you were always exact and prompt in your responses to his demands. He couldn't deny that you were his best assistant, but he couldn't understand why you were so afraid around him. He was eager to discover the reality of the situation.

"(Y/N)." Kylo muttered, appearing behind you while you were organizing the beverages on the table.

You jerked, almost dropping the soda cans you were holding. Before you could drop the beverages to the ground, you quickly set them down on the table and turned to face Kylo.

"Y-Yes, Mr. Ren?" You replied, your neck craned back due to his towering frame. You were so nervous that you could hardly stand still as you silently prayed that you hadn't done something wrong that you weren't aware of. "Is there something wrong?"

"Yes, actually."

Oh, fuck.

From your silence, Kylo proceeded to remove his sunglasses, revealing his hazel eyes. You noticed that he appeared to shuffle a little, almost as if he were feeling awkward. You couldn't help but be a little curious about what he needed to say at this point.

"I've noticed you've been avoiding me, and I want to know why that is." He said, looking down at you with his face remaining neutral.

"Sir, I didn't mean-"

"Listen, I just want to understand why you seem afraid of me." He explained, before crossing his arms. "I think you owe me that much."

"I'm sorry..." You muttered, your eyes brimming with tears. You avoided his gaze, instead facing the ground.

When Kylo noticed the tears forming in your eyes, his eyes widened. He couldn't help but feel almost ashamed and somewhat guilty about upsetting you.

"Please, don't cry..." He muttered, watching as the tears began falling from your eyes. He hesitated before stepping forward, slowly wrapping his arms around you and pulling you into a hug.

You gasped quietly, the unexpected hug catching you off guard. However, it wasn't unwelcomed as you slowly returned the embrace. Your head rested on his chest, and you listened to his breaths to calm down.

"Look..." He paused before continuing, "You're the best assistant I've ever had; you don't need to cry."

"Y-You're not going to fire me...?" You asked softly, sniffling.

"No, I'm not going to fire you." He chuckled, finding the idea a little absurd. "You can just...relax more around me, alright?"

He pulled away before putting his large hands on your shoulders, peering down at you with a small smile. "Can you do that for me?"

Without thinking, your own smile was appearing on your face, making you feel more calm.

"Yeah, I can do that." You whispered, nodding your head.

"Good." He replied before straightening up, his hands returning to his sides. He turned slightly, giving you one last glance before putting his sunglasses back on and walking away.

[daisyvisions]

hewo!!! today is my birthday and i love your account, so i was wondering if you could make a scenario of sangyeon being a pretty awesome boyfriend who celebrates his girlfriend's bday? how would he do it even when he's the busiest? just like a little delulu gift bahah

i won't get mad if it turns smuttie somehow 👀💘 ily

(omg this was sent 3 weeks ago I'm so sorry I'm late to greeting you for your bday but belated hbd anon! I hope you still appreciate the little gift I have for you even if it was late 😭)

Wouldn’t Miss It For The World

Warnings: Smut (18+, minors DNI), fem! reader, dirty talk, use of vibrating underwear, implied sex, pet names (sweetheart, baby, good girl,) “daddy” mentioned,

A/N: how I managed to pull this out of my ass is beyond me especially during my writer's block and this wasn’t even the original idea I had in mind 😭

‧⋆ ✧˚₊‧⋆. ✧˚₊‧⋆‧‧⋆ ✧˚₊‧⋆. ✧˚₊‧⋆‧‧⋆ ✧˚₊‧⋆.

This was the first time you’d be spending your birthday all alone in your apartment. Not that it was by choice, but by pure coincidence of timing.

Literally, no one had the free time to spend your special day with you. Either your friends were too preoccupied in meeting deadlines for work or just simply forgot (which you didn’t want to think about the latter at all).

You always loved birthdays. Whether it was yours, a family member’s, etc., you just loved the feeling of celebrating them. From shouting “surprise” to seeing the birthday celebrant blow out their candles, you just loved the meaning this special moment in someone’s life held.

So of course it made you feel really sad knowing no one was available, not even your boyfriend who never once missed your birthday even when before you started dating.

He wasn’t expecting at all either. But when he got a call from his boss while you two were watching a movie about a sudden business trip, both your hearts dropped at an instant.

You couldn’t hold it against him, not especially when he would literally go out of this way for you almost all the time. Work is work after all. And he was on his way to getting the promotion he’d been working at for months. So you sucked it in like a champ and told him to just go and not worry it.

“I’ll call you as soon as it reaches 12MN in your time no matter what I’m up to okay?” He reassures you over FaceTime before boarding his plane.

“It’s okay Sangyeon. I’ll be fine!” you respond.

“I love you so much, sweetheart. I’ll make sure your day is still special.”

“I love you too, now go!”

And he had kept his word. You were just watching a movie on Netflix when you got a sudden call from Sangyeon, not realizing the clock had struck 12MN. As soon as you answer the phone, you’re met with his god-like features, hair slicked back while wearing all black.

“Happy birthday my love!” He greets, his smile shining brighter than your phone.

“Thank you so much!” you respond happily.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t be there to celebrate with you.” He pouts.

“It’s okay, I understand.” You lightly chuckle.

“And to make up for it… I have a surprise for you.”

“What?” you tilt your head in confusion.

“Why don’t you open your door and see for yourself?” He smirks.

You rush out of your couch while on the phone with Sangyeon. The moment you swung the door open you let out a loud gasp.

So many gifts were displayed right in front of you. Your chest was filled with warmth. He remembered everything you would mention to him on the side and even the items you would just look at in the mall.

“Do you like it?” He asks.

“Sangyeon, you didn’t have to!” You were so overwhelmed you could cry, not expecting his surprise at all.

“Anything for my girl. Now, why don’t you open each gift for me, hm?” You nod in excitement.

After going through a number of gifts, you were down to the last one: A pretty black box with no label of where it came from, wrapped in a lace bow. Your eyes grew wide the moment you lifted the lid of the box.

Laid out in front of you was one of the prettiest lingerie sets you had ever seen. The lace and intricate details of the sewn floral pattern made it look so delicate you swear it might even break the moment you try to touch it.

“Model it for me won’t you sweetheart?” Sangyeon asks. Your cheeks were growing incredibly warm as he intensely watches you change into the set through video call.

You were amazed to find out how perfect the bra and matching underwear fit you so perfectly, hugging your body in all the right ways. Accentuating your curves so beautifully you felt like a goddess wearing it.

You were so caught up checking yourself out in the mirror until you suddenly felt a strong vibration through your panties, making you moan out in surprise. Huh?

“Like the surprise? I can control it from where I’m from.” You turn around to see Sangyeon smirking, biting his lower lip through the screen. That sneaky little shit.

“D-do these- are these- is there a vibrator in my u-underwear?” you try to ask but the vibrations against your core were starting to make you go numb.

“Mhm. While I can’t be there the least I can do is make you feel good.” His sultry voice running straight to your core, making you squirm in place even more.

“Fuck…” You curse out while you try to keep it together.

“Lie down for me baby, let daddy make you feel good.” You do as you’re told and lie down against the mattress, head resting against the backboard while you spread your legs apart. Making you look like Sangyeon’s personal cam girl.

“Legs apart sweetheart, just like that. Fuck- Keep it open for me.” Sangyeon demands, slowly palming his growing erection as he increases the speed of the vibrator.

You let out a whine as your fists ball your sheets, your jaw slacking from the delicious feeling of the vibrator against your clit.

“That’s it sweetheart, keep moaning for me. Wanna make you feel good. My baby deserves to feel good on her special day.” he coos.

“Wish it was you instead…” you pout, thinking about his thick cock dragging through your velvety walls over and over again. Overwhelmed with everything, you felt your high approaching faster than you thought.

“Fuck- Sangyeon, I’m gonna cum. Please can I cum? Please please please-” You beg, even when it’s your birthday.

“Cum for me sweetheart. Such a good girl for asking-” Sangyeon doesn't even finish his sentence when the coil inside you suddenly snaps, a flash of white the feeling of euphoric waves running through your body.

“Feeling good over there sweetheart?” Sangyeon’s voice brings you back to earth. You nod in response, panting as you thank him for all the gifts again and this very special gift as well.

“There's still one more gift I forgot. It should be outside right now.” Sangyeon says.

“What? Another?! That’s too much gifts already!” You start to worry a bit.

“C’mon sweetheart. You’ll like this one a lot I swear.” he replies. You get up to check, not bothering to cover yourself up with a robe or a big shirt.

The moment you enter the door, you’re greeted with Sangyeon’s figure smiling warmly at you.

“Surprise!” he shouts.

“Sangyeon?! What are you doing here?! Aren’t you supposed to be abroad?” Your eyes wide and confused by his sudden appearance.

“You didn’t think I was gonna miss my girl’s birthday right?” He steps in your apartment, immediately cupping your face as he kisses you deeply. You return the kiss with a feverish one, desperate for his touch.

He presses you against the wall aggressively kissing and nipping your lips, messily shoving his tongue inside your mouth as his rough hands glide against your soft skin. He dives his fingers inside your underwear rubbing them through your wet folds, making you moan against his mouth.

Sangyeon pulls away from the kiss, rubbing your lips with his thumb as he continues to rub circles on your still sensitive clit with his other hand. He smirks at all your reactions to his touch.

“Now, is the birthday girl gonna show me how she likes to bounce on my cock or am I gonna have to do it myself?

[oh-my-may]

I'm still alive omg!

Lots of irl things happening atm, BUT I managed to play through Penacony 2.2 (stretched over 3 days, no less)

Woah. Just ... woah. So much happening, so many characters interacting, so much lore, IT WAS GOING ON FOREVER but I loved it nonetheless. Of course they had to make the finale of Penacony long and epic.

FIRST OF ALL I KNEW IT! I TOLD Y'ALL!!! Literally in my post about 2.1 I talked about how Misha definitely has some close connection to Mikhail/the Watchmaker. I suspected him to be a child of his or something but the actual thing was close enough, I guess. My sweet boy. I love him. Mikhail being a Nameless was so cool. I'm really glad we're finally getting more lore and info about Akivili and previous Nameless, but I feel this was only the beginning.

I'm still madly in love with Sunday and Acheron. Robin is such a cutie too. I'm not gonna pull for her because I need my savings for Mr. Boothill and then Jade but I'll try and pull for her on a rerun. Sway to My Beat in Cosmos is such a banger. Caught myself constantly singing "riiise into my wooorld" (ofc much worse than the one and only lol)

On the topic of Boothill... my god. Love him. The way they can't make him swear so they just make him say??? Whatever??? Whose idea was that 💀 mother loving instead of mother fucking?? What the fork?? Wubbaboo?? I would die for this man. He looks so hot too. Again I have to say that HSR never misses with male character design. THEY'RE ALL SO PRETTY.

On the topic of pretty men... SUNDAY. My little radicalized bird man. I cackled when Sparkle called him chicken boy. She's just a hater, love her for that. Serious question... is he straight up dead now? I have only played the main quest so far so in case it'a mentioned somewhere in game don't spoil me but if it's not... tell me will I get to see him as a playable character... pls...

The whole thing with Ena the Order was so interesting to see. The fact that they made Order so similar to Harmony... AEON LORE. Love it. Resurrecting an Aeon is possible, you say? Kind of? The way they make Sunday'a motives understandable... he's just a boy

So I had the feeling that facing the boss Dominicus was a bit too easy the first time around. Wdym he has only one phase. I should have known there was more to it. Nevertheless loved to see IL and Jing Yuan cameo. They slayed (literally)

But then the eerie feeling I got when Black Swan talked to us on the Express... the way she makes us question everything that happened... GENIUS. I did kind of get flashbacks to Sumeru act II. The line between dream and reality, who is dreaming, what happens outside of the dream, the repetition of events... not critiquing or hating, but the concepts were just similar to me and I liked it :) Penacony just put a different twist to it.

The final fight was still very cool. The several toughness bars to break is really interesting, and the fact that you get a shield value the more bars you break. Also the Astral Ecpress literally crashing into Sunday??? I barely realized what I had just watched ghe first time around. Idk why, but the concept is hilarious to me. And the question remains... is Sunday dead now??? What about Robin?? Are they both dead??

Aventurine isn't dead either?? What about the present that Sparkle gave out to several people? What was it and what did it do? Is there smth I don't remember about that rn? Did I miss it? Also if Robin didn't actually die, how come we saw her body? If she just got transported to Dreamflux Reef, then there wouldn't have been a body, right? ALSO is Firefly dead too? She didn't make an appearance throughout the second part after we see her leave and she talked abput the way that the script said she would die 3 times in Penacony... I'm so eternally confused. It's part of the reason I think there's still gonna be more in the next patch... They're not gonna give us playable Firefly without at least a Story Quest for her, right? And Jade, too? She had one appearance in a throwback during the story, the Trailblazer hasn't interacted with her in person yet so the IPC probably hasn't finished their business with Penacony yet?

And since I mentioned Trailblazer... HARMONY MC??? LOOKS SO GOOD? LOVE THE MOVES?? THE HAT? The Significance of it had me 😭😭 my MC obsession ks back y'all. He looks so good. Caelus ily. The silly little dance with Clockie 😭 Can't wait to build him, I heard Harmony MC is really good.

I also briefly have to mention my girl Acheron. So they've literally just casually confirmed that she's Raiden Mai? I actually don't know what Bosenmori means or it's significance BUT RAIDEN MEI. And her whole flashback with Tiernan... I had my suspicions about his identity but the reveal was interesting, anyway. I've got the feeling this is not the last we've seen of Acheron. I never played HI3rd far enough to fully understand Raiden Mei's story, but I'm really intrigued with the whole thing. How come her and Welt exist in noth universes, how did they end up in HSR and what's their motive?

One thing I'm also still hung up on is the Annihilation Gang... no more mention of them? We don't get any real eyplanation as to why Acheron killed Duke Inferno? No little animation of the scene? I'm guessing it's gonna play a role later? The reason they talked about it is probably to tell us that Acheron was dangerous but like... idk what to think of it. No question the other members of the Gang are gonna appear later and maybe then we'll get more background? But if they don't play a large role in Penacony, why introduce them to the players prior to it in such a grand way?

Anyway, I judt have lots of questions still but no doubt the game is gonna answer them when the time is right... I had a really good time playing the quest, went through a whole lot of emotions during it, fell in love with even mlre characters... the new maps are GIGANTIC and look so cool and let me just say rhe music was so so epic too. Can't wait for the OST for this to get released.

I also wanna mention here (outside of discusaions about the story) is that having a fully leveled Acheron with pretty decent relics paired with a tank Aventurine feels like playing the game on easy mode. Nothing can penetrate a fully def stacked Aventurine, and Acheron's damage is straight up insane. Gonna take a while before I get tired of using them. They helped me clear basically all Stage V of every SU World I hadn't done yet... legends.

Now we wait for Boothill... The grip that Hunt characters have on me is unbelievable. Meta wise I know I should invest in Harmony characters... Ruan Mei or Robin but... HAVE YOU SEEN BOOTHILL? HAVE YOU???

Alright, that's it for now. Really excited to dive into exploration and events and quests of the new maps. Might post a little about it.. or maybe not. I still have to tell you about my thoughts on the Arlecchino quest and Remuria exploration, I began a post about that and never got around to finishing it.

As always, have some cool screenshots from the story!

[who1ssheesh]

NSFW with s/o and squalo??👀

Squalo NSFW Headcanons

Notes: Yes. Just yes. Actually these are nastier than Xanxus ones (oh look, someone is getting comfortable here, dirtiest kinks when???? (please ask please))

Warnings: minors do not interact obviously, not proofread at all, brief mentions of anal and pegging (if you don’t like idk…..)

• Hey listen, he’s actually 10/10 and really attentive when needed

• But still feelings are a turn off for him, and I mean it. Unlike Xanxus, Squalo is a beta male loser, he can get really confused with love-bombing and all that sappy stuff. Like…..he already hates this in a regular setting, and in sex it’s a cringefest for him.

• HuGE on getting praised. You better keep going about how good he is, I think he can cim undone only from this. What an egomaniac mf

• Probably has oral fixation both giving and receiving. A thick layer of lip gloss can make him hard, no jokes. If you ever get an idea of getting your lips injected, Squalo would be interested way more that he should be. (Don’t get me wrong, he like any lips as long as they’re yours)

• Just use a lip plumper for a 100% sex, works as a terraria boss summon 💀💀💀

• If you ever suck him off under his desk while he works, Squalo will never let it down, he thinks that was hot for some reason

• He is a sucker (pun intended idk) for oral himself, can some HOURS between your legs to the point you start crying. And he still doesn’t stop

• There is a lot of “over-” with Squalo, overstimulation included. He is going to make sure no one ever can compare to him

• Actually a point for crying while having sex. Maybe you’ll notice you are becoming a little of a crybaby since your tears turn him on oh so much.

• Having passionate sex with you crying right after a nasty fight and him whispering praise and apologies on you ear is a very hot-hot scenario for Squalo, but he will never tell you this because of course

• He actually doesn’t have that much experience (especially with his kinks lol he is a bit shy with those) and because of that is nervous a bit, but exploring his preference is a nice adventure, you can tell just be the look on Squalo’s Face if he likes something a lot

• Hey hear me out…As much as he likes to fuck the brain out of you, you can…..do the same in return. Squalo actually doesn’t know he needs this, but you overstimulating him to the point of eye-rolling is a heavenly experience + idk what about you, I would cum just from seeing THAT face on him omg

• I’m pretty sure, he has some nasty kinks in his sleeve to the point he just won’t tell you. Something like a wild card idk.

• First of all, let’s get it out, he is orientation-confused.

• Squalo probs fantasized about threesome with someone (let’s say Dino, why not?), which goes both ways

• Once was way too drunk and had a thought of threesome with you and Xanxus, still twitches in horror remembering this. Just a fun fact lol

• He COULD be up for pegging, at least trying. He doesn’t like the idea of being sub at all. Squalo can like the experience actually, but still being the bottom icks with him and he will be bitching about it

• Holy shit, he is risky too much (what else being expected from someone THIS self-assured). In general, you having vibrators in public inside of you can be a common practice for you two. Also is anyone ever calls you, he makes you pick the phone and thrusts much harder into you, good like with that lol

• His cock is average in girth, but is long, can touch you soul istg

• The idea of having sex while someone watches might be also in his head?

• Not opposed to anal. Not like a kink, but like doesn’t see a difference between vaginal and anal, pick what you prefer 💀

• Unexpected, but he doesn’t like hair-pulling. Xanxus does that a lot when posted, and Squalo has very bad associations with that. But touching his scalp or massaging while he is eating you out he loves a lot

• Squalo is still a beta loser, he occasionally likes slow passionate sex, you can even say something sappy meanwhile

• Doesn’t like role-playing at all, cause likes experience and feelings be sincere, but does enjoy lingerie

• Also can be into clothed sex? Squalo goes feral seeing you disheveled and dress lifted up just in the fight spots. Or him being fully clothed while you being naked

• Thigh riding pretty please :) More of a way of you begging for his cock, seeing you desperate is hot

• He likes blood, I headcanon, cause well…shark….Squalo…

• I’m not talking about biting (well, not ONLY, cause your thighs are going to ache from his bites), im taking about period sex. Yeah I’m disgusting and???? You are too 💀💀💀

• Whisper in his ear what you want to do to his or vice versa. The things he can say to you even while being in public can turn your head around. He can also tell about some random fantasy if something triggers one

• He DOES want you to become a swordsman, maybe I’ve said that before but I don’t remember if you ever are interested, you are doomed for life. You think Squalo wants a shared hobby? lol no you nerd, he just wants to ram you into the floor right after the training session right there with your swords lying around

• If you ever have a hung body, Squalo will feel guilty, you can trick him into giving you a massage (and he’s good in this) but no guarantee his hands won’t travel into wrong places. Wink wink

• His hands deserve their own headcanons: slim, long and dexterous (he is good at tinkering with his mechanisms), also his metallic hand can be a different experience as a whole

• Can fall into a bdsm pit. He haven’t thought about it much prior, but if you’re an enjoyer, Squalo picks it up as well and has a lot of fun with this. It all started with tying you up but here we are………..

• + blindfolding added to this. You not expecting what Squalo has in mind turns him on

• Likes when you use your hands on him (interpret in any way you want 💀 but im talking about handjob mainly). Even you having your hands on his chest while riding him is good enough

• Squalo likes feminine slender hands and is a huge sucker for long nails. Scratch his back as much as you like, he doesn’t mind

• Getting back to oral fixation - he will make you suck his fingers often

• Squalo likes direct the most uncomfortable eye-contact while he thrusts into you. Or even eats you out, idk. He will grab your neck if needed, and his wild eyes make you wet tbh

• Likes choking, on himself also

• Squalo is very vocal in bed, did you expect anything else lol? He usually tries to be silent (and you can tell) but if you duck the souls out of him then holy shit is he loud

• Also likes you being loud and expressing how he makes you feel. If you are the silent type, Squalo has another type of enjoyment making you scream, no less

• Ass man but can’t get past boobs. Why take one if you can have both?? In all seriousness, he likes more your chest as a whole, collarbones infatuate him + takes another enjoyment in nipples, he will suck and nip them a lot. Even can Maggie your breast without a sexual intention, Squalo just likes them

• His nipples are sensitive btw, you can have some revenge

• Now back to ass man. You better be careful with wearing tight pants 💀 Everything that attaches to it ( → thighs for example) Squalo likes equally. Thighfucking maybe?? Question mark??

• Squalo can possibly have wicked fun spanking you and making you count every slap. Starts all over again if you stutter

• Compared to Xanxus he is much more fun tbh in a way of being adventurous and pretty trouble-free about any idea you have. If you open somehow his the most wicked kinks, you won’t find the same fucked in a head man ever again lol. Unique experience would recommend

Kisses to distract for the playmaker au 🌌

omg from this prompt list, kisses to distract from the au where all the kisses are basically to deceive and to distract???? hell yes!!!

so i couldn't pick which kiss i wanted and then i remembered i made a playmaker post once about how vos is probably sent undercover/ends up at anakin's table and obi-wan freaks out and corners him and they're found and its so suspicious that they would be so close talking in a secret corner that before they're found, vos kisses obi-wan so that people will just think that they're horny only for vos to then die because That's Anakin's Little Mouse

so this is that....except a little different cause obi-wan's daddy issues are Daddying rn

(2.6k) (cw: a nonconsensual kiss. but also. like. murder???)

Obi-Wan can feel his heart beating. It’s so loud in his mind that he can barely hear what Vader is saying, and he’s sitting in the man’s lap, face tucked up beneath his chin.

He can’t remember a time he’s felt more exposed, not even the very first time Vader’s hands had found his waist and pulled him into his lap in front of half his highest ranking men. 

In the intervening weeks, it’s even been—well. It’s become rather…comfortable. If he doesn’t think of all the reasons it isn’t. 

Perched on Anakin’s thighs, one arm wrapped around his shoulders and the other held to his lap, he can press his face up against the man’s hair. He can close his eyes and commit himself wholly to listening to the men and women around him talk. Talk of shipments and delays, money owed, lives taken in payment. Obi-Wan can memorize everything and he can do it from the throne of the very mob his department has tasked him with bringing down. He can memorize it all and spend the moments in between pressing kisses to the tendons of Anakin’s neck, trailing his fingers along the in-seam of his suit pants, rubbing at the mob boss’ shoulder with the palm of his other hand.

Because—because that’s what the mission instructs that he do. He’s supposed to gather intel, gather evidence. And he’s supposed to do it without Anakin realizing that there’s a rat wrapped around his heart. The kisses—the kisses help. Distract him.

And it feels good. To kiss him.

To tease him into fucking him up against the wall the second they get somewhere private. To coax him into such violent need he dismisses his men and has Obi-Wan right where they’re sitting. 

It feels good, to be so desired that it’s uncontrollable. To be so desired that the desire must be dealt with, must be whittled down simply by the act of having. Of taking.

Obi-Wan doesn’t feel guilty about how good it feels. It should feel good to be touched. It should be some sort of bonus to the undercover mission that it is sometimes him whose hands shake with the desire to be on Anakin’s skin. It is not something he needs to feel guilty about.

It is not something his father needs to know about either, the way that the son he raised turns into a slut the moment a criminal gets between his thighs.

And luckily enough, right now, Obi-Wan is the sole decider of what Qui-Gon Jinn gets to know. That’s the nature of being the only rat to have lived this long in the Skywalker mob. That’s the nature of being the only rat. Obi-Wan gets to decide what he tells his team and what he leaves out of their quick and hurried meetings when Obi-Wan’s supposed to be on a run.

But—but he was supposed to be the only rat.

He was not supposed to look across the long table laden with food that Anakin uses for his mob meetings and see a face he recognized. 

Obi-Wan’s head is swimming, and his heart is pounding so loudly in his ears that Anakin must be able to hear it too. That must be why he adjusts his grip on him, dragging him further into his arms as if that will make him feel safer.

All it does is drag the hem of his shorts further up his thigh, exposing the lace end of the stockings he’s wearing. All it does is tug the droopy material of his shirt off his shoulder—revealing the strappy red lace of the bralette beneath.

It has happened before—hell, Obi-Wan has dressed like this in front of these men for the express purpose of this happening, of his outfit revealing what lies beneath while he can feign ignorance. Nothing gets Anakin’s hands on him faster than other men seeing what he thinks is only his.

What is only his.

He came tonight wearing the brightest colors of pretty things he owned in order for this to happen because it has been far too long since Anakin last snapped. He has been far too put together lately, far too...distant.

It makes Obi-Wan’s chest tight with anxiety. He has not yet been able to figure out what attracted the mob boss to him in the first place, and he’s spent the last several days wondering if it’s gone. If he’s about to be tossed to the side, ripped out of Anakin’s bed with the same ease he was granted entry.

Or—maybe worse, what if Anakin has made him as a rat? What if he’s to be killed?

What if his father knows that and he thought to send in Obi-Wan’s replacement before he can die? It would be less suspicious, wouldn’t it? 

No. Obi-Wan is being paranoid. Too paranoid. Even if he were to lose Anakin’s attention, he has the twins wrapped around his thumb. Anakin cannot kill him, his children would not stand for it. 

And—it would give him time to figure out what he did wrong, what made Anakin’s eyes stray. He could be better. Figure out how to do better, be what he needed.

For the sake of the mission.

And…there would be no way for his father to catch wind of the mob realizing there’s a rat before Obi-Wan knows. 

So the fact that Quinlan Vos is sitting close to the foot of the table…that he’s here, in this room, as a ranking member of Anakin’s mob….

That must mean that his father does not trust him to be doing his job. That Obi-Wan’s performance has disappointed him somehow, that he hasn’t been enough. He has not given them the information that they need and so his father has found a replacement.

And now the man who used to help Obi-Wan sort his father’s highlighters by color and size is staring at him from down the table, looking at the lines of his lingerie as he sits on the lap of the most dangerous mob boss in the city.

“Well,” Anakin says, tossing his napkin onto his empty plate. “Let’s break so that they can clean up this mess. And then—to business, men.”

The words are met with the thud and scrape of twenty or thirty chairs pushing back from their seats as the owners vacate them obediently. Obi-Wan, just as obedient, stays still. Anakin’s hand has clasped around the back of his neck, keeping him in position. 

“You’re shaking, little mouse,” the mob boss murmurs.

“It’s cold,” Obi-Wan replies automatically, turning his face into his neck. He presses the faintest of kisses there and thinks about ripping the man’s throat open with his teeth, ending all of his problems now. 

“Aw, baby, but you look so pretty like this,” Anakin says, ghosting his hand up the outside of his thigh and resting it just beneath the hem of his shorts. Then, his tone changes, growing lower, darker. Vader.  “The men couldn’t look away.”

Obi-Wan tries to draw a breath, but it stalls out in his chest. He stills, and then immediately tries to pretend that he hasn’t, that his thoughts have flown to Vos, who had been just as surprised to see him in Anakin’s lap as Obi-Wan had been to see him at Anakin’s table. 

“Hm?” Vader continues, as if Obi-Wan has spoken.

“I didn’t notice,” Obi-Wan finally says, sitting back so he can look fully into Vader’s eyes. “All I was looking at was you.”

They’re different from Anakin’s, Vader’s eyes. He would include this in his reports if he could figure out a way to say it that doesn’t make him sound insane. It’s been a long-held theory, that Anakin Skywalker isn’t always just Anakin Skywalker, but no one’s ever been able to have irrefutable proof.

But looking into Vader’s eyes, Obi-Wan knows. Knows it’s Vader who is looking back. Anakin is a dangerous man all on his own, but Vader…Vader is another beast entirely.

One that Obi-Wan isn’t prepared to deal with right now. Not when he is so on edge. When Vos is here. At Anakin’s restaurant. At his table.

Does Obi-Wan’s father really think he has failed so entirely? Does he really think he needs to be replaced? Needs support?

“I need to stretch my legs,” Obi-Wan says, pushing away from Vader’s chest. “I heard you and Ahsoka talking over it, I know this meeting will be a long one.” “My, what big ears you have, little mouse,” Vader says silkily, even as he drops his hands and leans back in his chair. The dismissal is clear; Obi-Wan is being given what he wants.

He gets several steps away before he looks back at Anakin, hands tightening into fists and releasing. 

The man is watching him go, wine glass raised in front of his lips. He hasn’t closed his legs yet, sprawling out on his chair like it’s a throne.

And Obi-Wan is—torn. He needs to track down Vos. He needs to find a place to talk with him. 

But he needs—he needs to stay here, with Anakin. He needs to turn back around and press himself up against Anakin’s chest once more, spread himself over him and make him feel good. So good that Anakin will not kill him nor tell him to leave and kill him all the same.

The shame and guilt that come on the heels of that thought are strong enough to force him to look away, force him out of the room.

He doesn’t get far.

A hand wraps around his arm and pulls him aside almost as soon as he’s exited the wide main room of the second floor of Anakin’s restaurant.

Obi-Wan makes an automatic, furious sound, but the hold on his arm only tightens as he’s pulled further into a dark and quiet alcove, mostly shielded by a marbled statue.

“What the hell are you doing,” the man who has grabbed Obi-Wan whispers furiously, and Obi-Wan goes almost boneless with relief. Oh, thank God it’s Vos.

“Me? What are you doing—” he turns around to face him fully, as much as the tight space can allow. “Did my father send you?”

In the shadows of the alcove, Obi-Wan can barely see Vos roll his eyes. “Probably in his mind, yeah, he did. I got back from one undercover mission, got sent the contacts for another almost immediately, wound up here, where his precious son’s whor—”

“What does that mean—”

“And he should have, Jesus, Kenobi! They told me you were making nice with the mob, wait until they hear you’re grinding up on Vader during his business meetings, what the fuck—-”

“No!” Obi-Wan doesn’t mean to say it so loudly or so vehemently, but he can’t. Qui-Gon was never supposed to know, no one was supposed to know, and now they will, and maybe his father will pull him off the case, can he do that? Would he try? If he thought Obi-Wan was doing a bad enough job, he would. He would take him away, get Detective Secura to arrest him next time they meet for information, it wouldn’t blow his cover, but it would take him away from—

From Anakin.

Obi-Wan can’t let that happen.

He hears footsteps, pointed and loud, coming down the hallway toward them. The break must nearing over, it’ll be time to get back to the real meat of the meeting, the actual mob business now, and then Obi-Wan won’t see Vos again. No way Anakin would let him spend a moment alone with another man—it would look suspicious anyway, if Ben knew this random mobster. Two rats getting cozy under the same roof, it doesn’t look good.

Anakin can’t know. Obi-Wan can’t lose him. He can’t lose him.

He can’t.

I’m sorry, he thinks and he knows it’s not good enough but the guilt does not drown out the need burning in his chest. The desire that cannot be controlled.

In the next moment, he’s pushing Vos up against the wall of the alcove, forcing him back with a grunt that’s loud enough that the footsteps outside pause.

Turn.

Just as Obi-Wan presses his lips against Vos’, pulling his own shirt down to look dissheveled. Messy. Like someone has been running their hands over his clothes.

“Oh, now that’s something Vader will want to know about,” Ahsoka Tano says. Obi-Wan rips himself away almost as fast as he pushed himself into Vos’ space.

It isn’t an act when he rubs the back of his hand over his lips. He’d kissed Vos mid-word, gotten the man’s spit in his mouth. He doesn’t like the taste, wishes it was Anakin’s.

“Tano,” he says. “Just making friends.”

Tano’s eyebrows fly up further than Obi-Wan’s ever seen them. “You get all your friends killed, Ben?”

Vos moves to stand beside him, shoulder to shoulder, and the guilt and shame slam into Obi-Wan so suddenly that he almost rocks back from the blow. Vos is eight years older than him; was just fresh from the academy when Obi-Wan was still just a kid left to twiddle his thumbs at the police station waiting for his father to take him home. He’d gotten him take-out before. Coffee. Water. Little games to play with.

And Obi-Wan has gotten him killed.

“A little kiss won’t kill me,” Vos says, clapping a hand to Obi-Wan’s shoulder. There’s a note of bravado in his voice.

“Not quickly,” Tano promises. She raises her hand, snaps it when Obi-Wan doesn’t exit as quickly as she wants. “Come on, Benny. Let’s get you back to daddy.”

“Ahsoka,” Obi-Wan says, taking a shaking step forward. All he can think about suddenly is Vos, a decade younger and relegated to a shitty desk in the back of the station first year out of the academy, shoes up on his files, biology flashcards in his hands as he ran Obi-Wan through the questions.

What has he done?

What has he done?

“Please,” he finally says, stumbling out of the alcove, and when his voice wavers, he’s not faking it. What has he done? He has gotten Vos killed—and for what? Why had he kissed him? He could have—he could have talked to him, he could have begged. He could have explained the situation, why did he have to—

Because there is nothing Obi-Wan can say that will make Tano hold her tongue.

And there is nothing Obi-Wan can do to stay Anakin’s hands. He has murdered people for less. Perhaps this time he’ll murder Obi-Wan too, that way Obi-Wan will not have to live too long with the weight of this guilt.

“Ladies first,” Tano says as she opens the door back into the room. It’s buzzing with the sound of other people’s voices, the movement of them as they find their seats once more.

Obi-Wan walks forward and Anakin’s eyes snap to him immediately. They’re dark and narrowed, as if he already knows more than he likes.

The walk has never been longer to get to Anakin’s side once more. 

He’s pulled to stand in between Anakin’s spread thighs, the man’s hands falling to his waist and pulling him in, splaying out across his hips.

“Mm,” the mobster murmurs, and Obi-Wan’s legs are so shaky that he has to clamber up onto his lap just to avoid falling apart then and there. What has he done. What has he done?

“You smell different, baby,” Anakin says. “What have you been doing?” Obi-Wan wonders suddenly, wildly, if he can smell his fear. If he could see it in his eyes as he approached.

“Making friends,” Tano reports as she drops into the chair next to them. “Tongue first.”

Anakin’s hands still and then tighten. When he speaks, his voice is low and deep and all Vader. “Is that right, little mouse?”

And Obi-Wan—there is nothing Obi-Wan can do save for letting the guilt kill him.

So Obi-Wan nods. He nods and raises Vader's chin with his hand, forcing him to look at him. "I told you I was cold," he said as if he'd been so cold he found another man's body to keep him warm in the minutes he was away from Anakin.

Anakin's eyes are like pieces of ice. There's no warmth in them, but there's a glowing light of something that looks a lot like hunger. Fascination.

It's the same way he looked at him when he first saw him. As if he were intrigued.

The expression makes something that has been wound tight these last few weeks dissolve into nothing. Anakin's eyes promise that there will be no more distance between them. That he has not grown so tired of him that he will be discarded with next week's recycling.

And despite the guilt, the worry, the shame that's burning Obi-Wan's insides to ash, that look in Anakin's eyes warms him to the core.

Gimme Kiji gimme Kiji Kiji x reader pls pls pls pls

Kiji x reader office romance reader is a lower ranking gaurd who’s nervous about the new job and Kiji is all like “omg how cute time to make u more nervous” and flirts with them a lot saying how cute they are probably make reader but I can live with gender neutral:3

I hope I did well, this is my first fic in a long while! (Can't remember how to format)

This was your first day at Nanba prison, everything would be ok...right?

You sat at your newly assigned desk in the staff room of Building 3, waiting for your Supervisor to brief you on which inmates you will be assigned to.

There was a nagging feeling in the back of your head, Nanba housed some of the most dangerous criminals in the world, and you started to think about what inmates *you* would have to look over.

As you dwelled in your thoughts, your supervisor came in through the door, rather...loudly.

"Dear (.....)!, Are you in here?!"

The loud, flamboyant Supervisor of Building 3, Kiji Mitsuba, startled you badly, and had you standing up saluting out of fear. You honestly didn't expect him to look so......colorful.

"Sir yes!........sir?"

You also didn't expect that he would be so...tall. The colorful makeup on his face distracted you from the fact that you were standing in front of your new boss. He was very...pretty!

"Oh you aren't you just the *cutest* thing!"

He cups your face in his hands and smiles widely.

"You're perfect, the Warden was right, oh, I'm so glad I didn't end up with-"

You look visibly frazzled, which Kiji notices.

"(.....), are you feeling alright? You look nervous. Poor thing"

Kiji bends down to look you in the eyes, which doesn't exactly help.

"Y..yes sir, I feel fine, thank you." Your words trembled as they came out of your mouth, you weren't exactly dripping with confidence.

Kiji leaned closer, mumbling something under his breath, which only served to make you tremble more.

"A 8.......maybe a 9......but not a 10....."

What was he doing? Was he.....rating you?!

"Uh...sir-"

"No matter, you're handsome, you'll do fine. You're perfectly attractive enough to work in my Building."

The words out of your Supervisors mouth caught you completely off guard, Does he do this to all the new guards? Was this normal?

A light blush covers your face as he continues, and unfortunately for you, he picks up on it and winks at you.

"Darling, as much as I would love it, you can't stand there admiring me all day, you have work to do."

You straighten yourself up immediately once he says this, feeling embarrassed that he saw you....staring. It was a bit difficult to talk, considering he was still cupping your face.

"Yes sir, right away. Ah...who will I be watching over?"

Kiji walks over to his own desk, and pulls out a guard hat for you, and then gently places it on your head

"You will be watching over two inmates, number 3, and number 82. They are...mostly well behaved, and downright adorable, you'll love them."

You nod, and try to look as professional as possible.

"Good....you're cute, and respectful."

Kiji opens the staff room door, and leads you down the hall, and as you walk, you realize that this is your job now, you and your....very attractive Supervisor.

And you loved it.

Short message !

For the Hürrem drawing 🌸🌸

First and foremost! I was writing another message when the art pop up and I was like ?! "This is my baby !!"

And the fact that is on your phone with your finger is amazing like what ? What do you mean its that cool with a finger !

Honestly I love her she really is giving parrot colors (she is a sun conure) I love it ! Like RIO the dreamworks movie ! Now that I see her from another point of view, I think Gluttony Ring could be her favorite ! Because her in yellow/orange scenery is slay ! Or maybe Sloth!

And the unhinge "you know bastard or not m i can use magic!" *pull a gun* 🤣 Is excellent ! Now I think about it, she is suppose to have a scary big monstruous form like Stolas in episode 6 of Helluva boss right ?

And the bunny moustache/weaskers it is really a detail that she is not full Goetia. Thank you !

And OF COURSE the adorable doodle of Giovanni on the back ! Is like "whatever fluffy feathers, as you say. Hum hum."

(Ps : she is suppose to have pink eyes like her dad Vassago BUT I DONT CARE RED cause this doodle is fire !)

Thank you again !! 🌸🌸 I'm still flabbergasted about the fact that this is drawn on phone!🌸🌸🌸

Yes lmao yes, your reaction at the end of the last message was very cute"OMG MY BABY!!"

I was used to draw a lot with my phone before, so I got used to it, I'm sure you can draw very well with practice!!

Yes, it really gives the color of a parrot. It's nice to have such a colorful color in a place like hell!!

I really love Hürrem being a parrot.It suits her personality and looks very beautiful and colorful.🌈🌈🌈

RIO!! I really love it, it's one of my favorite animations both musically and in terms of story and character design!!!

Yes, it really makes sense that it is Gluttony's favorite.The circle with the least chaos, and both in terms of color

Yes, Sloth can also have it, the color palette is very nice.A relaxing atmosphere,remembered hospitals a little bit.

---

LMAO definitely, after all, doing the unexpected always surprises the enemy.

--

Yes, I guess, she is a Goetia (mostly) after all. I think it makes sense for her to have such a form. But was there someone who taught her how to use this form?

But just imagine, something happens.

G:fluffy feathers, I think it's time to use your noble powers. A had would be vert helpfull rn!! *Screams while dodging bullets during combat

H: I'M TRYING OKAY!! IT'S HARDER TO DO THAN SAY!!

**Tries to transform*

G:Okay, honey, you should concentrate, I'll dodge a few bullets here, after all, I have a second life, don't worry, relax.I'll be just fineeee

H: YOU'RE not helping! Wait! Is happening!!!

G: Wait really??

*Hürrem starts to transform in a really cool way, but not a demonic form, but a colorful rabbit that is small enough for Giovanni to hold in his hand*

Giovanni: ಠಿ⁠ヮ⁠ಠ

Hürrem: ಠ⁠,⁠_⁠｣⁠ಠ

Lmao

---

Always!! I love Hürrem's rabbit whiskers!!

---

I'm so glad you liked the doodle!! And thank you for telling me that her eyes are pink, they be pink in my future drawings!!And pink definitely suits her better!!!

--

Hahaha Thank YOU🫂 But as I said, you can do it too with practice. If you are going to use ibis paint, you can ask me questions. I don't know much, but I will try to help!!

Have a great say!🫂❤️❤️❤️

He realised he had been staring, and forced himself to look away.

Right up at Gov, who had crept up on him, appearing at his side. Fucker was always so quiet it was a miracle he didn’t have a heart attack every time.

“Are you enjoying yourself?”

Cali nodded, smiling up at him in a way he knew was charming.

“Better now that you’re here.”

He watched the man’s cheeks turn a light pink, and the way his eyes pointed down at the floor.

He sighed and spoke again before Gov could recover. “I barely know anyone here.”

“Well that’s kind of the point of all this, to meet your fellow states.”

California snorted.

“Aw, can’t I just stay here with you?”

Gov just smiled up at the taller state.

“Careful, there’s only so much flattery I can take.”

Gently, California slid closer, far too much to be subtle, just to see if the man would stay. His posture went stiff, but nothing else happened. He decided to rest his head on his shoulder as he talked about..Generally nothing to him. Gov only lasted a few minutes before pulling away, something about “Going to get them both drinks'' on his lips

I'm obsessed with the dynamics in this fic btw

Omg Gov/Cali my beloveds

I'm like 95% sure this is the I Don't Know Him fic?

Ok wait yes

One of the fics I wrote in class while I was meant to be working. This is right after Tecas was spotted

I wanted Caligov, n also for the fic to not solely be Cali ranting in his head about Texas, but I also needed Gov to like. Go away for a bit, cause he'd probably stop the chaos duo if he was there

Historical Caligov is I think semi based on how California became a state? I can't remember but it gave Those Vibes to me, y'know?

Anyway, Cali has just spotted Texas, and he's trying to distract himself. And here comes Gov (He really has terrible taste in men) As a perfect distraction. I set it so that the kinda flirty relationship was already there, but nothing really more then just kinda flirting with your boss to get your way. There's the possibility, sure, but he knows it's not much and he could easily scare Gov off

Which is sorta what he's trying to do. He both wants a distraction, and to be left alone. On another level, he wants to test what Gov wants, and if this will scare him off, if something changes

Their dynamic is everything to me <3

Tales of Vesperia playthrough thoughts:

The Blade Drifts of Zopheir weren't as bad as I remembered. I really don't love the dungeon layouts of this game though. Worth it for Karol's story. Everyone in the team is so loving and supportive of him.

I want to talk about the scene after Yuri leaves the group for murder and falls asleep in the Quoi woods. Everyone finds him and beats him up. They have a very strange love language, these people. They're such a weird family. Anyway, I'm playing the JP audio version and one thing that just about killed me is how Yuri's voice is so obviously near tears when he's like "aw you guys" after they admonish/encourage him to trust them, because they all love him. So much feeling in his line delivery. Yuri's just this absolute weirdo, definitely actually a cat that is outwardly self assured, graceful, confident and all those things but needs to be loved and has a hard-earned trust. And his team is like "get loved, idiot".

Literally every time there's a Flynn scene I'm like "rejoice!". Honestly this game is so not normal about him and I'm here for it. I definitely am not the only person recently to point out Yuri's soft smile when Karol remarks how amazing Flynn is.

On to Zaphias:

Alexie is a POS:

Ugh he's such a smug and smarmy little shit I love it.

Also the main cast is preaching "no one besides you can define you". I see you, game.

Touching moment aside it sure was fucking absurdly hilarious to obliterate Estelle in battle. I was spamming Mother's Memento because I wasn't sure when it was used and apparently it heals everyone for a bit of HP! I never knew that.

And then HOLY FUCK the 1v1 with Estelle and that fucking sad song playing omg 😭😭😭😭 game stop it my feelings

Okay but the actual 1v1 with Estelle got me a game over twice. Definitely harder without other characters to absorb hits.

When it comes time for Rita to pull some nerd shit to save Estelle, we have all the characters being like "let me help, Rita!". And Ravens just there hanging on by a thread 🤣

AHHHHH RITA IS USING EVERYONE AS PART OF THE SPELL THING TO SAVE ESTELLE. The way Yuri catches her after and holds her 🥹

Whoa straight into a Flynn scene. The picture Ted drew of Yuri and Flynn is in between them. I never noticed how Flynn takes up most of the page.

So Ted drew a picture either of Flynn but had to include Yuri in it cause Duh, or of both of them and the impact Flynn has on him was much larger. Neither of those are bad. Or rather both because imagine what most of the lower quarter kids probably think of Flynn. So kind, fair, strong and handsome. It makes Karol's admiration of Flynn all that more potent and wholesome really. But Flynn and Yuri come as a pair, and Yuri is probably like a Big Lower Quarter Brother and Flynn is too but moved away and y'know, has a job and you don't see him that often so he's almost like this mythical figure or smt.

Flynn and Yuri: Would these two idiots stop trying to downplay their own impact and usefulness and just admit that they complete each other puhlease.

When Sodia walks in and is all eww to Yuri, he's like "I smell a biiiiiiiitch" and goes to walk out.

This rando guard fangirling:

Karol is chillin in the mess hall with Hanks and seeing everyone praise him and eating up Karol being such a good, young boss is so lovely. It wasn't long ago when Karol would have been so uncomfortable with all this praise. Hey Yuri maybe Karol could teach you a thing or two about accepting praise and loving yourself.

Jeremiah/Matt lore???

OKAY i should get into their backstory first so around nov 2022 i had this obsession with jeremiah (the backstory for my obsession would take even longer to explain so i’m not going to) and i was desperate for content and i found this klaine fanfiction where it was klaine from different characters perspectives?? idk it’s been a while, i’m sure it’s a good fanfiction but i couldn’t tell you because i just skipped to the jeremiah chapter.. the chapter was like blaine and jeremiah getting coffee and blaine kept talking about kurt or some other gay shit. after reading, i got curious, so i went to the next chapter where it was MATT’s perspective and matt saw kurt and blaine at/outside a gap store. i didn’t read past that but in my head i was like “what if jeremiah and matt crossed paths……..” then i forgot about it for like 5 months UNTIL i suddenly had an obsession with matt (who KNOWS why?? i cant even explain this one) so i remembered my little idea of them crossing paths so now they’re dating 🫶🫶

OKAY MY LORE FOR THEM (my headcanon is matt was a senior in s1 and graduated) matt and jeremiah and coworkers at the gap. jeremiah has dreams of becoming a fashion designer but is stuck at his minimum wage job and feels that he’s obligated to work there for money/stability. matt is studying to become an opera singer (my other matt headcanon is he has an operatic voice which isn’t true at all for the actor but let me cook) and is working at the gap to make some money. matt has HUGE crush on jeremiah, but jeremiah is oblivious (and demiromantic wow the headcanons just keep coming). matt finally gets the motivation on VALENTINE’S DAY to confess his love to jeremiah. he gets to his shift with a bouquet of flowers except JEREMIAH ISN’T THERE!! OMG!!!! matt asks his boss “uh is jeremiah sick or something?? he always comes to work” and his boss is like “i just fired him he just left a few minutes ago” and then matt’s like “I QUIT THEN!!!” cuz he was only motivated to stay at that job to see jeremiah. he cHASES after jeremiah but before matt can say anything, jeremiah is like “jESUS CHRIST YOU’LL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED SOME KID SERENADED ME AND GOT ME FIRED-“ and he rants about his job, how he just wants to get out of ohio, how he doesn’t know what to do and rants and rants and rants until he finally calms down and then he’s like “aren’t you supposed to be at work? who are the flowers from??” and matt’s like “i quit….. and these are for you….” and then matt dramatically confesses his love to jeremiah except i’m too stupid to write a confession so you’re just gonna have to make that up in your head and then matt’s like “i understand if you don’t want to date me after all the stuff that happened today-“ AND THEN HE’S CUT OFF BY JEREMIAH KISSING HIM AND ITS BEAUTIFUL AND THERES FIREWORKS AND MATT PULLS BACK AND ASSURES HIM “we’ll get out of ohio. i’ll help you start you’re own clothing line. i’ll help you follow your dream you’ve been pushing aside. we’ll get through this. together.”

and then like however many years later, jeremiah becomes the ceo of gap the end

[tallymonster]

This last episode of The Gilded Age made me cry AGAIN. this show is perfection and I am so here for what's coming next. Spoilers under cut cuz I have mutuals who arent caught up to the most recent episode. I'm not talking about EVERYTHING tho cuz I only remember the big parts tbh.

HOLY SHIT okay so first off, Peggy and the reporter guy whose name I always forget KISSED last episode!!!!

So glad Marian was like GIRL HE'S MARRIED TF?!

Also the whole thing with the school closing, like I cannot believe they would just close it because it's a school for black kids wtf 1880's New York!! You're supposed to be more progressive, but yeah stark reminder of the times we're in during the show.

The whole thing with Mrs. Russell and Mrs. Winterton being all petty with each other now that Winterton has some pull with the old guard who are leaving the Academy for the Met??? 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌. HERE. FOR. IT. love the bargaining to get the center box. Like Winterton, girl, this is BERTHA RUSSELL.

oh and speaking of hbic Mrs. Russell, the Duke is coming to the Met omfg her whole world just ended right there!! The look on her face when Larry and Gladys were like " Hey, were off to the party, see ya!"

That fucking party too!!!! Omfg Dash, I cannot with you!!!!! To like invite everyone that you know to this solarium thing which, baller move btw I would love to have my own solarium in a garden like living the dream

Okay, so this party is popping off too like all the DRAMA

Gladys is getting hit on by ANOTHER bachelor, and Larry comes to the rescue like a protective older brother, we stan.

Oscar and Maud are hella cute together, like I know he's gay and kind of a fortune chaser, and I have a feeling she's got something going on with her...like idk there's just some slightly red tinged flags with her background...I guess we'll see...BUT they kissed too!!!!!! And it was so hot!!!! Like daaamn Oscar!!! I didn't know you could kiss a lady like that!!

So Dashiel puts the party together for the dedication of the solarium, but then as he's making a speech about it, he brings up Marian!!!

And then he starts going on this rant about moving back to NY to have his daughter grow up where he did and he didn't expect to fall in love

Y'all the look on Marian's FACE!!??? it was the same look I had too tbh

HE PROPOSED TO HER!!!!! AND AUNT AGNES WAS ALL ABOUT IT CUZ DUH

Omg and Aunt Ada and Forte were both like UH UH YOU DO NOT WANNA SAY YES WE CAN TELL!!!!

Like everyone was hella shocked and YALL THE SCREAM I SCREAMED WHEN THEY SHOWED LARRY'S FACE!!!! this poor man just got dumped by his boss/milfy widow just to come back to NY and see the other girl he liked get engaged. Big fat L for Larry.

Cut to Jack, he sent in for a patent for that clock piece he invented, and he gets denied because he's not part of a clockmakers guild or whatever.

Fucking Armstrong over here has to shit in his Cheerios and just talk mad shit like I cannot wait for her to say the wrong thing in front of Agnes. like you're on thin ice already because of all the racist shit you did and said to Peggy, Armstrong like what is your game plan???

So Mr. Russell goes to one of the union dudes houses. Like it's the same guy who came to his house but again, I forget their names

They talk for a min and it looks like Russell is having a small change of heart when he sees the man's family. The oldest son who doesn't look more than like 17 tells Russell that he's working in the mill too, to support his family.

Russell leaves and is greeted by a mob of people who work in the mills. Like they brought their families too so you see women with babies in their arms.

Rest of the episode is going back and forth between the smaller plots. Like Bannister and one of the other servants whose name I also forget seeing Church come back to the Russell home drunk, which ended up being that it was the 30th anniversary of the death of Church's wife who died so he got drunk.

Same small plot thing, Mrs. Astor, Mrs. Van Rhijn, and Mr. McAllister all come together to plot how to save the Academy since Winterton is taking a bunch of people and taking them to the Met.

Okay, now for the worst cry I had.

Forte and Ada come to visit Agnes after their honeymoon to Niagara Falls.He had been having some back pain and he went to some doctors

At first it was just like oh here's some pain meds to take care of it, let's go do some tests though.

Well....he goes to another specialist and he tells Forte that he has something more serious.

Cut to Marian coming to visit, she's thinking it's about her engagement to Dash, so she starts to talk about it with Ada

Ada was like "I didn't call for you?"

Forte comes out and says "I did. I need to talk to the both of you." And makes Ada and Marian sit.

Scene cuts to Marian rushing into the Van Rhijn house, Agnes, Oscar, and cousin Aurora are all there.

We find out that Uncle Forte as Marian calls him, has cancer. It's the kind that starts in the back and begins to spread. So it sounds like he has some sort of bone cancer?

Agnes immediately rushed over to Ada

Scene change and we go to Ada and Forte in his bed, she's cuddling him and telling him that they'll get through it. She starts to tear up which makes him cry.

The doorbell rings, and Ada goes downstairs

She sees Agnes there and she runs into her sister's arms.

The sobbing that Cynthia Nixon did here absolutely destroyed me.

Agnes saying to Ada, "I'm here. You've not to worry." Just reminded me of my brother doing that with me when our mom died and it broke me.

Agnes tried to get Ada and Forte to come to the Van Rhijn home but they said no

Props to Ada and Forte. Death with dignity will always be my stance and I think that's what is going to be implied here.

Mad props also go to Mr. Russell for not shooting the strikers. I think he's starting to have a change of heart with the robber baron tendencies.

All in all, GOOD EPISODE. MADE ME CRY. I LOVED IT. can't wait to see how the opening night will go lololol specially cuz Winterton doesn't know about Mr. Russell basically blackmailing the dude from the Met!! Ohohohohhooooo
