Ok my aunt is a world-renown beekeeper who travels the world testifying to congresses in different countries to study and advocate for the safety of bees against especially pesticides. She's a large part of the reason many pesticides are illegal in the USA now. And she raised me around the lifestyle of a beekeeper!
That woman was a dean of the entomology department at her university alongside her husband for many years, and though she's retired from this now, she is well known in the beekeeping community worldwide. She is published in several books on beekping specifically. I literally traveled from NJ to North Carolina, and found a guy selling honey, and he knew of my aunt because of what a legend she is among beekeepers.
Here's some stuff I can give of my knowledge based on what she's taught me!!
1. Beekeepers don't clip their queen's wings. I have never once heard of this at all. There is zero reason to because the colony relies on their queen, and she generally does not leave the nest as much as workers. However! Many keepers will mark the queen with a dot so they can search for her, and check her regularly to see the health of the colony, or if they will need to start preparing to help with a new queen if the current one is ailing or anything.
2. I'm not sure what is exactly meant by "destroy new queen cells". I don't dare click the obvious ragebait, but bees don't need to create a new queen cell unless the current queen is dying/sick/etc. This is pretty much the only time during which a new queen is naturally made. The beekeepers therefore wouldn't need to worry about any new queen cells being created otherwise, and therefore they wouldn't need to destroy any. Sometimes if a queen is suddenly found dead, the beekeepers actually try to find and introduce a new queen before the colony can produce one just to maintain order and safety in the colony in the meantime.
3. I've literally never heard of anyone killing a queen for any reason, and any beekeepers would literally gasp with jaws dropped at the prospect of killing a queen just because. There is literally zero reason to do this. It serves no purpose doing such a thing.
4. The pheromones are often used for the process of capturing and transporting a hive from someplace it shouldn't be to a place it can be. Basically if a beehive is found formed in someplace it isn't meant to be at (ex: old floor, unused couch, home walls), a beekeeper can use pheromones inside of a safe, legitimate hive to attract the colony to move inside there, and therefore the bees are safe to transport to a place where they can thrive instead of living within the walls.or furniture. You'll often see this in viral beekeeping videos! No harm is done to the bees, and please PLEASE if a colony is found by you and it's in someplace it shouldn't be, call a beekeeper and they'll gladly do this to save the colony instead of leaving it to exterminators who'd kill the bees. Bees are endangered!!! Don't kill them if you can avoid it!!!!
5. African honeybees are aggressive, yes, but they're in Africa. The rest of the world doesn't have them as a native species, and they're, therefore, an invasive species. The reason you don't crossbreed standard honeybees with African ones is because it's akin to pretty much crossbreeding a coyote and a wolf. They're similar, but two different things entirely still. Another example is like corn and maize. Similar but not the same, descended from similar ancestors, but still wholly different.
6. Bees! Are! Endangered!!! There is not a single beekeeper I have ever met, and I've met many, who'd DARE to kill off any bit of their colony for any reason!!! During winter, bees aren't as productive, no. They don't have a way to be because it's harder to find pollen during a season where plants are dying or dead. But bees are endangered and any beekeeper would do everything they can to preserve the colonies they have due to this!! It is basically akin to terrible sin, for lack of a better comparison, to kill off your colony at all.
7. Drones aren't killed. I have no idea why someone would do that. The drone bees are very docile because they don't have a stinger, and plus they're still essential to the reproduction of a queen and the colony as a whole.
So there you have it!! An apparent source (since, again, I didn't read it) from 1859 is outdated!! What a shocker! Take it from someone who literally grew up with beekeepers and beekeeping from 1999 to the present: beekeeping is actually essential to the welfare of bees today. It's a large bastion of bee safety and preservation.
And again. If you find a colony and you don't have the capacity to care for it, transport it, etc. CALL A LOCAL BEEKEEPER!!!! MANY WILL TRAVEL FOR HOURS TO GET YOUR COLONY!!! I'M NOT KIDDING!!!!!
Save the bees!! Please!!
Wild that folks keep saying beekeepers abuse bees as if bees are not both venomous flying animals and fully unionized

i may not agree with everything that very nice article said about robot detective (i don't really think it's a fair mystery - i was more concerned with writing a fun game than a good mystery - and i don't know how agatha christie it is either)
BUT
am i above posting that article in the discord server where a bunch of questionably-media-literate dudes gave "feedback/critique" that shat on the Amadeus demo, missed every point I was going for, and made me feel like shit about my writing?
absolutely not
#external validation to me is most useful when i need to flex on people who have pissed me off or made me feel bad#these motherfuckers need to learn how to properly give critique that understands the writer's vision and not just shit on stuff#in the meantime all i can do is go 'oh have YOU written a mystery with what critics have called an AGATHA CHRISTIE LIKE TWIST? no? fuck off#personal

I've seen a number of people worried and concerned about this language on Ao3s current "agree to these terms of service" page. The short version is:
Don't worry. This isn't anything bad. Checking that box just means you forgive them for being US American.
Long version: This text makes perfect sense if you're familiar with the issues around GDPR and in particular the uncertainty about Privacy Shield and SCCs after Schrems II. But I suspect most people aren't, so let's get into it, with the caveat that this is a Eurocentric (and in particular EU centric) view of this.
The basic outline is that Europeans in the EU have a right to privacy under the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), an EU directive (let's simplify things and call it an EU law) that regulates how various entities, including companies and the government, may acquire, store and process data about you.
The list of what counts as data about you is enormous. It includes things like your name and birthday, but also your email address, your computers IP address, user names, whatever. If an advertiser could want it, it's on the list.
The general rule is that they can't, unless you give explicit permission, or it's for one of a number of enumerated reasons (not all of which are as clear as would be desirable, but that's another topic). You have a right to request a copy of the data, you have a right to force them to delete their data and so on. It's not quite on the level of constitutional rights, but it is a pretty big deal.
In contrast, the US, home of most of the world's internet companies, has no such right at a federal level. If someone has your data, it is fundamentally theirs. American police, FBI, CIA and so on also have far more rights to request your data than the ones in Europe.
So how can an American website provide services to persons in the EU? Well… Honestly, there's an argument to be made that they can't.
US websites can promise in their terms and conditions that they will keep your data as safe as a European site would. In fact, they have to, unless they start specifically excluding Europeans. The EU even provides Standard Contract Clauses (SCCs) that they can use for this.
However, e.g. Facebook's T&Cs can't bind the US government. Facebook can't promise that it'll keep your data as secure as it is in the EU even if they wanted to (which they absolutely don't), because the US government can get to it easily, and EU citizens can't even sue the US government over it.
Despite the importance that US companies have in Europe, this is not a theoretical concern at all. There have been two successive international agreements between the US and the EU about this, and both were struck down by the EU court as being in violation of EU law, in the Schrems I and Schrems II decisions (named after Max Schrems, an Austrian privacy activist who sued in both cases).
A third international agreement is currently being prepared, and in the meantime the previous agreement (known as "Privacy Shield") remains tentatively in place. The problem is that the US government does not want to offer EU citizens equivalent protection as they have under EU law; they don't even want to offer US citizens these protections. They just love spying on foreigners too much. The previous agreements tried to hide that under flowery language, but couldn't actually solve it. It's unclear and in my opinion unlikely that they'll manage to get a version that survives judicial review this time. Max Schrems is waiting.
So what is a site like Ao3 to do? They're arguably not part of the problem, Max Schrems keeps suing Meta, not the OTW, but they are subject to the rules because they process stuff like your email address.
Their solution is this checkbox. You agree that they can process your data even though they're in the US, and they can't guarantee you that the US government won't spy on you in ways that would be illegal for the government of e.g. Belgium. Is that legal under EU law? …probably as legal as fan fiction in general, I suppose, which is to say let's hope nobody sues to try and find out.
But what's important is that nothing changed, just the language. Ao3 has always stored your user name and email address on servers in the US, subject to whatever the FBI, CIA, NSA and FRA may want to do it. They're just making it more clear now.

don't worry, they're joking! they're always joking when it would be something, like bigoted. because i'm not a bigot, obviously, i just vote for bigots - well, they're not bigots either, you can't really call someone a bigot just because they have religious views. this is the land of the free, and it's a christian nation, after all. you can pretend otherwise but let's just be real here; all our values are really based on the bible. anyway, i know you liberals get your panties in a twist - can i say that, or are you gonna cancel me, haha, #metoo - about every little joke he said and every little dramatic political view. oh, fascist this and fascist that. you are online too much, you love the word fascist because it's big and you're just paranoid about things.
well, no, i don't, like, read the policies. i have a life. and so what if they wrote - stop it, it's not a manifesto, okay? he eventually backed off from that - oh the vice president? who cares about that guy, that isn't real power. you're being dramatic, they're just spitballing. everyone makes big claims when they're out there campaigning. he just means he personally wouldn't get gay married. you want him to divorce his wife and get gay married? anyway, even if they cancelled gay marriage - it wouldn't happen, okay? nobody i know really cares about that - it'd be states-rights like those abortions you love so much. and you live in a blue state. you live in like the gay capital of the world. i don't know why it'd be so bad for you, you're borrowing trouble there.
and besides, you're missing the point of his campaign! you people want to be victims so bad you completely ignore what we're really voting for. there are tons of good things that happened because of his name and his policies - the economy, for one. oh stop, just because i can't tell you what a tariff is off the top of my head doesn't mean i don't have eyes. and stuff was better under him! well, yeah, anything good is his work, obviously. what? no, all the bad stuff was biden. and probably also obama. what do you even care about this, anyway? it's not going to effect you. it's four years.
oh my god, not the climate change argument again, i'm not getting into that. i don't care about it. if my house is beachfront that's great news for me. and we don't really know what's causing it. no, i saw you forwarded me those articles and i just laughed. what, do you think i have time to sit on my ass and read shit? huh? well, no, i like reading the babylon bee. they actually had a great article about all you climate freaks. and in the meantime, what do you want me to do? i'm not paying 4 dollars for gas. liberals love to talk about solutions but never pay for the solutions. what do you mean blocked because of congress. you gotta stop with the conspiracy shit.
no, my side doesn't have real conspiracy theories. the vaccine thing is a real thing. besides, you yourself don't like big pharma. just because i have an opinion, suddenly now you think big pharma is great? and this is serious, okay? your mom's friend's coworker has a kid that died from a heart event. i don't want you getting any more vaccines. i regret that you got them as a kid, i'd redo them. what do you mean you'd vaccinate your own kids? are you finally thinking of having some? you know i want grandkids - oh stop, i've never pressured you, i'm just saying that if you're going to get gay married, you might as well give me some normal grandkids to love.
stop, you know what i meant. what? no, he's not going to take away your right to adopt. besides, you could always use a sperm donor, haha, i know your high school ex would love to - jesus! okay! no need to snap. i'm just saying that you don't need to be married to have a kid. the only real benefit to marriage is taxes, haha. it won't change anything. oh my god, no, there won't be a rise in hate crimes. well, it's not his fault what people do in his name! he eventually spoke out against that, anyway.
what do you mean he supported them? i didn't hear him say that. oh. well, yeah, he said it, but like, he's clearly joking.
#:)#<---- dying internally#this but longer and angrier and constant#i wanted also btw the goalpost feeling i get all the time where u can't lock down 1 subject#to argue with them about#bc he's always joking!!!!! unless it's something they agree with.#so there's TONS to argue with them about#but they just slip and slide from one topic to another bc it's ''never that serious'' so even when u make a valid#and real point.... it's like . no you didn't.#anyway#THIS IS OBVI SATIRE BTW.

so uh... my alt's kazuha is lvl 80 now. and i don't feel like fighting the maguu kenki another 10 fucking times. i'm not sure what else i could do though. there's a lot of world quests that still need doing as well as the sumeru archon quest. but i don't feel like doing any of that rn...
honestly i just want to keep playing on main. even if it's just world quests. i'm way more motivated to do world quests on main for some reason
#⇢₊˚⊹ 🩷∥ruby∥yo,ide yo !!#i think half of it is because my traveler on the alt is aether and apparently i prefer lumine#i only chose aether on the alt to see what the differences are in dialogue and stuff#and the lack of voiceovers does kinda get to me a little bit. i wish i could use a text-to-speech thing to read the dialogue out loud for me#but i doubt there's a way to do that on mobile#unless it's buried somewhere in the settings or smth#and i have very few world quests left on main. mostly the really long and lore-heavy ones like byakuyakoku and dirge of bilqis#to me the sheer amount of lore makes up for the wordiness#i just really wanna level up my wolf's gravestone as soon as possible#it's already level 60. i just really don't have ore on me#i want it to at least overtake the attack that my level 90 prototype archaic gives so i can finally let chong use it#of course i'll level it all the way to 90 but that's at least a lower milestone i can reach for in the meantime

Sometimes I think a lot about my mom's cat
My mom's cat is a common domestic shorthair we found on the side of the road as a kitten
Regular cat, not a maine coon or one of those massive breeds. His mom was smaller than a loaf of bread
But in a sort of a Clifford The Big Red Dog situation, he grew super fast, and really really big, and took a super long time to stop growing
Worried that she was overfeeding him, she eased back his portions, but he stayed a massive round baby
When he started having kidney problems, she took him to the vet.
The vet took a look at him and said, "holy fuck, what are you feeding him", checked the nutritional listings on his chow, and told her "Yeah, maybe he's reacting badly to the amount of grain in this, try a meatier diet"
So my mom wound up special-ordering this specific high-protein prescription cat food made of like. Kangaroo meat or some shit that cost like sixty bucks a bag
And, as typical act two in an episode of House, he somehow got worse on the fancy specialized stuff that was supposed to be Primo Athlete Olympic Feline Blend
Like. WAY worse. His guts were inflamed and his kidneys were shutting down and he was all sore and HE WAS STILL HUGE, just miserable and sad
So shetook him back to the vet, where they had to help him pee (he was apparently close to bursting and had some kind of blockage too) and went "Yeah no this is NOT normal and we don't know what's going on, we're gonna do some tests but in the meantime you should go back to what he was eating before, at least that wasn't actively killing him" so she did
And he still wasn't great, but he also improved
And so they take his blood and do an ultrasound and a couple g's later she gets a call back like "this is gonna sound crazy, but we want you to put him on a low-meat diet. Just the least amount of protein and iron and shit. We need you to find the grainiest, filler-iest dollar tree kibble available and give him some of that bad bad shit"
And my mother is a woman of science. So she did
And he GOT BETTER
His energy picked back up, inflammation went down, he started drinking normally again, got back to pissing like a fuckin champion
And so it turns out that out of all the random ass freeway bonus cats we possibly could have scooped out of a ditch, WE got the one-in-a-million freak of nature with a SPECIFIC genetic defect that means a paleo protein free range diet is essentially poison and he THRIVES on cheap ass garbage
Like. He medically NEEDS junk food
I dont really understand how that works, but i cant argue with results.
If we had four of him, they'd outweigh my mom. And he's FINE
Also blind, but that's unrelated
Im not using him as a symbol or a metaphor or anything. I just keep catching myself thinking about my mom's Big Fucking Cat
#I'm sorry#I feel like this is supposed to be some kind of message from the universe#Like maybe I'm the cat and the garbage food is. Something#But nope he just lives in my head rent free#The biggest fucking boy

Dante x reader headcannons
18+ MDNI
Sorry ya'll, I'm still working on Pain and Warmth pt.2. I figured yall could use some headcannons in the meantime. Some wholesome and spicy.
Link to Pt.1
-------
Sweet
He can't ever say no to your puppy dog eyes when you ask him to buy you something just as long as he can afford it. But if you aren't wanting for much and you mention something you thought about getting off-hand, he'll definitely get it for you even if he has to save up for it.
---
You definitely have competitions to see who can say the most one-liners before the other can't think of any more. You compliment each other for especially good ones.
---
Dante, ever the romantic, has definitely picked you a bouquet of wildflowers at least once. Maybe you're allergic or maybe not, but either way, you think it's sweet of him.
---
If he wants to do something for you (aside from cooking cause that didn't go well), you had better let him do it! He won't take no for an answer unless you give him good reason not to.
---
If you're ever under the weather, he'll wait on you, hand and foot. He's never really been sick, so just seeing you out of commission with a cold or stomach bug, and he wants to make certain you'll survive it. He's basically immortal, so he doesn't want you going into any afterlife before your time.
---
He loves your food. And even though he still eats a lot of pizza, if you plan on cooking, he won't even think of ordering any pizza. He also makes sure to ask you whether you plan on cooking or not.
---
While most people see Dante as an ignorant playboy or jock you know just how nerdy he can be. He's pretty well read, and while he mostly flips through magazines, you've seen him with a few novels in hand around his place. He's even gone to the library with you on occasion. The first time you saw him with an actual book, he smiled. "People really shouldn't let someone's looks fool them."
---
Spice
Dante definitely has a thing for short girls. He's 6'3". That's a whole inch taller than Ghost from COD. If you're any shorter than his chin, he'll definitely tease you about it. But it also means you get to use him as a ladder to reach stuff. He doesn't really complain, especially when your thighs are squeezing his head as you dust the top of the shelves.
---
He loves making you squirm and writhe for him in bed. To him, it's all about you. He sometimes actually forgets that he can have pleasure as well, but you're good about reminding him.😏
---
He's definitely one to mark you on purpose. Hickeys or bites on your neck, chest, and thighs are his preferred spots, but he has left some on your back and abdomen in the past.
---
He prefers the missionary position because he can see your reactions easier, and he loves it when you wrap yourself around him. Nails digging into his back and teeth in his shoulder as you move your hips with his.
---
One time, you stole his coat while he was taking a nap at his desk and put it on over a brand new pair of lingerie. You found red with black lace that matched his coat and immediately bought it. After letting him sleep a while longer, you woke him wrapping your arms around his neck from behind his chair. He almost immediately looked to the coat rack behind him and realized it wasn't there. "Is my coat in the wash?"
"No..." he spots the red sleeves on your arms as you run your hands over his chest. "Hey! Wha'cha wearing my coat for?" You stand, and he spins the chair to face you. It's wrapped around you, so he can't see what's underneath. Moving between his spread legs, you let it fall open. His jaw practically hit the floor at the sight of you. "Holy...Wow! You look gorgeous in my colors, baby!"
It's safe to say he enjoyed getting you out of that lingerie just as much.😏

actually maybe you know but what is cnets reaction to the us election results? i have weibo but i feel like im getting a pretty limited view
Hmm, the general reaction I've picked up on is: they think it's funny that he got elected. There's a very 吃瓜/watching with popcorn vibe to viewing U.S politics, but I don't think that there's a particular happy or sad feeling about it the way maybe other Western countries' people have reacted? Generally speaking, whether it's Trump or Harris, Republicans or Democrats, they both hate China and don't give a shit about Chinese people, which is the main concern of people in China.
I don't think they give a shit about the platform minutiae of it all; democrat or republican is largely the same to Zhang San and Li Si making 3000 yuan a month. Trump being president is in that sense inconsequential. In the meantime, I sense cnets find Trump very entertaining, so they tend to "like" him. I mean, he's funny to watch from afar, and because the China has developed largely self-sufficient industries, even with Trump's rhetoric on China, there is not a really an economic concern over on that side. Moreover, Trump in his first term, through his brashness, gave China a lot of opportunities to develop international relations with those countries that Trump alienated. He weakened the U.S grip on other nations, especially those developing ones, which found a friend in China instead. He was/is enormously racist and xenophobic toward China but his first presidency was actually considered good for China. For his aggressive talk, he is viewed as an an idiot that is easily influenced, and while yes, he can be unpredictable, at the end of the day, he's a "business president" and you can trust that money will always speak to him the loudest. As long as he's president, he will also embroil the U.S in domestic chaos, preoccupying the country and perhaps preventing us from starting new wars and stuff. (Biden is viewed as a war hawk; Harris would've continued his foreign policies)
Meanwhile, China will keeps doing China and the cnets, I guess I will say, largely have faith that the government will do what's best for China, and therefore best for them.
That's my read.
I will say, the main Chinese social media I use (where I actually get news, anyway) is douyin, which attracts a different user base than Weibo, I think. It's largely a video sharing site, where Weibo is more for posting text (deeper reflections, maybe?). I'd be interested to know what the Weibo reaction is, or at least, the reaction in the circles you or anyone else frequents!

~ 06.10 - Boothill ~

Dom!reader x sub!boothill - reader is gender neutral
Warning: a little dark, dubcon, sadistic (?) reader, first time (doing smt sexual), finger sucking, gun play, teasing, dacryphilia, dry orgasm, cumming untouched, hair pulling, use of chemicals, choking, violence, vomiting, kidnapping
~ Word count: 7k ~
Nini!rant: went for a slightly different vibe this time~ how is it?
Kinktober list 2024

“Hah, another fake galaxy ranger? Who’s tryna impersonating us this time?” Boothill lowered his hat to hide his face while he stared at a wanted poster. Still clean, it must be a new commission. At first, he only wanted to check his own bounty, when he noticed another one right next to his.
‘Galaxy ranger […….], wanted, dead or alive, bounty [1.380.000]’
Consider him surprised when he didn’t recognize the name or the face. Him, the one who owns a data bank to support his memories. It could only mean that it’s an imposter. Having a fake ranger’s wanted poster hung right next to his is pretty humiliating, are they looking down on him? “This might be interesting.” The cowboy smirked to himself, yanking off the poster from the wall while he continued his pursuit.
This was going to be a side job, to yearn some cash for his good ol’ alcohol: Asdana’s white oak, about 6% alcohol and fragrant like the fields after rain. A classic among the malts. Pair that with a bullet to match and consider yourself drinking the holy water from the garden of Eve. The bass and gunpowder will bring an exquisite taste only folks with fine tongues can taste. If he had to give a deeper description, the word mellowness would match mighty fine.
Just thinking about the taste raised his spirits. Since he was going to catch you soon and get compensated big, it wouldn’t hurt to celebrate like this once in a while. Don't get him wrong, this isn't indulging, it's enjoying life. Which is why he was standing in front of a bustling bar, his favorite one. The minute he walked in, he felt his mind be at ease, like a ship with smooth sailing. Everything stayed as cozily as he remembered, the same old barkeeper, music, and seats. As if this was his second home, he popped down right next to the counter and put his arm up onto the bar table.
“Boss, here! The usual for me, you know, the lit stuff.” Boothill smirked, his other hand was tapping his knee slowly. “It’s you again, one Asdana without ice?” The man behind the counter seems to remember that very cowboy, as well as his usual order. To that boothill answered, “Of course, I take my Asdana neat.” Then the barkeeper nodded, as if to acknowledge it, commenting, "You are as lively as ever, sir." Before walking off to get the bottle.
Lively? Huh, it's not a word he'd use to describe himself, but it isn't bad. No, not bad at all. In the meantime the cyborg looked around the establishment, seeing many new and old faces that bring back memories. Among those, there was a single shadow that intrigued him. It was the person sitting next to him.
You were there already when he came, sipping away at your drink as your eyes darted around aimlessly. A cocktail of some kind, fading from black to red. If he had to guess, probably hangman’s blood? One of the specialties of this bar, he knows the owner is proud of that drink. It’s pretty strong, you must be good at dealing with alcohol. Maybe you'd be a splendid drinking buddy, he thought to himself, grinning from ear to ear. Meeting new people and making connections never hurts anyone.
Suddenly he moved his chair closer to yours, opening his mouth and attempting to strike up a conversation with you. “Hey, you there, I haven’t seen ya’ around here. This your first time here?” He tried his best to give you a gentle smile, that ended up with him showing off his sharp teeth. For some, he might have appeared threatening even. “...Yeah, it is. I heard that the drinks here are excellent, which is why they have so many regulars.” You stirred around in your glass, mixing the two colors.
“That’s right, you see, I consider myself a regular too.” Boothill chuckled, by the looks of it, he was quite proud of that title. “Oh right, name’s boothill, you can call me that. How ‘bout we drink a lil’ together?” He smirked, it was still a rather awkward smile. Though luckily you didn’t seem to mind. “Boothill huh? I’ve heard that name around, you are notorious for your misdeeds against the IPC.” You turned around to face him, returning his gesture by smiling as well.
At least he thinks you did, since he saw your face twitch. However, he couldn’t see it clearly due to the effects of the lighting. That was why you looked like a shadow from afar. The cyborg scoffed a bit, appearing amused by your words, “misdeeds you say? Cutie, my actions may not be innocent but I only do honest work.” A low chuckle reached his ears, followed by your response to his rather playful comment, “Of course, I understand. You galaxy rangers are brimming with righteousness after all.”
For some reason, your voice was as clear as day, despite the bustling noises emerging from the background. Many people were talking among themselves, so despite you not speaking especially loud, he still heard you perfectly. It was almost as if he filtered the other sounds out for yours only. At first glance, you seemed friendly, kind even. Yet there was this strange feeling surrounding you, he couldn’t get rid of the lingering suspicions. How did you know his occupation? Sure, his name was pretty infamous, though was it normal to know this much?
“…I guess the number on my bounty isn’t just for show.” He joked, before letting out some breathy laughs. Instead of paying attention to his words, you stared at his hand, each finger was out of metal. A artificial arm, or to be precise, a cyborg. Nothing you didn’t know. Suddenly you raised your finger, pointing in his direction. Boothill frowned a little, taken aback by it. “Your drink, it’s coming.” After a moment you explained, and he turned his head around.
Who would have guessed, you were right, the bartender was just putting down the liquor as he chirped, “One Asdana?” Before winking at the male and leaving the two of you alone. “Ah, yeah, that's for me.” The cowboy mumbled, about to take the old-fashioned glass when you stopped him. “Wait a second, I have something for you.” The moment your sentence ended, you began fumbling with your bag, apparently searching for something.
He was a bit irritated but listened to you anyway, taking his hand back. Waiting like this was a tiny bit annoying, but he put up with it. About a minute later, you were holding a shiny object in your hand. Without giving him any warnings, you dropped the said object into his drink. The beverage splashed against the glass due to the impact, only a single drop landed outside before the liquid calmed down.
Now, a bullet was slowly sinking to the bottom of the glass. Its color matched his drink, it had a golden gleam. “Holy forkeroni…” He gasped, this bullet, it was- “9 millimeters caliber, 147 grain, and the bottom's round as a pie. An eternal classical, am I right?” After explaining something obvious to him, you finally showed your face by leaning forward. The lightbulb brightened your features, exposing your identity to the cowboy. A daring move, a risky gamble with cards not everyone would have played. You stared right into his black pupils without a hint of fear, and his response to your boldness was as expected. “This information, you are...!” Immediately, the cyborg grabbed you by your collar and yelled, “Son of a nice lady- you are the one from that wanted poster! The fake galaxy ranger!” He shook his head, then demanded, “Fudge me… don’t fork around and answer, how do you know so much about me?” What a serious tone he had, he must be feeling threatened.
Your eyes darted down to his metallic hand, the same one you were eyeing up and down earlier was now clenching your shirt. Instead of taking him seriously, you were calm and collected, taking one step after another. Seeing you so relaxed, he felt a hint of anger building within him and used more force. It was almost enough to lift you off your seat. Gosh, look how much contempt he suddenly has for you when he was so nice to you mere moments ago.
“Please don’t cause a scene, sir boothill, I was only being nice by catering your drink to your taste. What's the problem?” You cooed at him like he was a child throwing a tantrum, playing the naive card. This playful tone of yours reminded him awfully of his own, yet at that moment it annoyed him. “You are dodging my question.” He stressed his words, furrowing his brows and tightening his grip. But he jerked a little when you clasped your hand over his, your touch was warm in comparison to his.
Then you spoke in a calm tone, “Shall we take this outside? There are many watching eyes here. I believe you wouldn’t want to get banned from your favorite bar.” The way you talked suggested you knew much more, a lot more than what he does about you. After all, you knew some private details about his preferences and hobbies. In conclusion, you must have been waiting for him here, at this very bar.
Boothill still hesitated for a moment, before eventually letting go of you. He clicked his tongue as if he regretted your meeting today. In truth, he wasn't in the mood for a fight, despite everything he came here to have fun. Your clothes were now wrinkled and slightly messy, disheveled would also be a fitting term, but you didn’t really bother with straightening them out, rather, you were amused by his hot temper. The boy thought about the situation and the problem he was facing. He couldn't read you at all, what a tough nut to crack.
It would be smart to sort out his thoughts, so first things first, he has to find out how you obtained all this information about him. What was your deal and reason? Then he should think about how to clean up this chaos in case it becomes messy. Even so, startling the other guests wouldn’t be good, that’s why he should contain himself for now. “Fine, lead the way, and don’t try to pull any funny business with me.” He clasped his arms in front of his chest, glaring at you with nothing but contempt. To be honest he looked like a cheeky cat instead of a dangerous lion.
“Don’t look at me like I’m some kind of criminal~” You jest, grinning from ear to ear as you sipped at your cocktail. “Oh yeah? Why do you have quite the sum on your head then.” The cowboy countered your statement, squinting his eyes a little. To think you lost his trust this fast, he was a cautious fellow. “Haha, you hurt me. Don’t you have a bounty on your head as well? If so, why can’t I be righteous too?” He shuddered a little at your words, by the looks of it, you could also be a crazy stalker who invaded his privacy. Heck, he would almost bet on you knowing his head's value in and out.
At this point your voice alone was enough to scratch him the wrong way, you were really testing his patience. Boothill dismissed your statement with a groan, “Don’t compare us, I’m not a motherfudgin' fake ranger like you.” You blinked a few times at his words, before laughing out loud. He didn't like how you reacted. “Ahaha~ yes yes, of course, I’m the bad guy in your story, how did I forget this detail?” You blabbered, and he didn't really understand what you meant.
Then, without giving him any time to process what you said, you sprang up from your seat but made sure to take your cocktail with you. “Come now, cowboy. Take your drink with you, can’t leave that to waste right? Let’s continue drinking outside, like real drinking buddies.” That last sentence, he hasn't asked you yet, that means you guessed by his actions alone. Was it that obvious? It almost felt like you were taunting him or making fun of his previous idea of befriending you.
To save some of his pride, he decided to entertain your little chitchat. “Take it with me? I don’t think I’ll need that long to deal with the likes of you.” He sneered, a cheeky expression was plastered on his face now. You scanned him up and down a few times, then said, “If I can give you one advice: you’ll regret it if you don’t.” Shortly after, you walked out of the store, not giving a damn if he followed you or not. It was because you knew he wouldn’t let you escape so easily, and as you predicted, he followed you to the back of the bar. His footsteps were rather silent for a cyborg, he must not want to involve other guests.
The environment was filthy and dark, as well as out of the sight of innocent civilians. Perfect for an ambush or to have a private talk. You took another sip of your drink and complimented it, “Heavens, have I told you already? This tastes great. Wanna try some?” This sudden courtesy didn't seem fitting at all, considering he already lost all trust he had for you. His eyes pointed to your hand, the hand holding the glass in front of him. Instead of taking it, he clanked his own glass against yours, saying “No need, and cheers. Now that we are drinking, it’s time for you to start talking.” After finishing his speech, he drank his much-anticipated beverage.
This was what he missed, the sweet taste of paradise. No matter how he hated to admit it, the bullet you put in was just the stuff he needed. The faint taste of brass and gunpowder partnered up with the overwhelming sweetness of the malt juice was simply magnificent. “Ehem.. now,” He began, putting the drink onto the staircase next to him. It was the emergency staircase in case of a fire, yet it looked rusty as hell. Still, it won’t crash down because of one measly drink, will it?
This was something he had noticed for a while, somehow, he always found your gaze on his hands. The same applied here when he was putting his malt juice away. Was it worth being careful about? Boothill sighed, before continuing, “Tell me, what is your purpose? You were looking for me, weren’t ya?” Straight to the point, as expected of an ill-mannered cowboy like him, but you didn’t dislike it. “If I told you, this won’t be fun anymore. The villain always shares their plan when the hero is subdued.” You gurgled down the last bits of your ‘hangman’s blood’, then put the glass on the ground, unlike him. Would you look at that, who has no manners now?
Afterward, you walked up to the man, and his response to it was taking a few steps back. It wasn’t until his back hit the wall that the two of you stopped in your tracks. “Shirtbag… do you want to imitate a cartoon villain that bad?” He scoffed, crossing his arms once again. “Hehe, maybe.” You smiled at him providing him with a vague answer. Fork it, he was definitely going to wipe that insolent grin of yours from your face. “Anyway, before things escalate and you hit me, how about a quick introduction? My name is y/n.” The ranger didn’t look happy at all at your suggestion, and so he snapped, “I know, I saw on the poster. Can you stop wasting my free time now?”
“Whoa, easy there. And hey! Don’t pull your gun out!” You said and raised your hands as if to testify to your cooperation, then spouted “Well, I don’t know what information I own that could possibly satisfy you.” Now you were really wasting his time, chatting with no end in sight. Obviously, you were playing dumb with him. This caused Boothill to shout almost angrily, “Just tell me what business you have with me, fudgehead!” His rather funny way of talking didn't shock you, which means this was another piece of information you had access to beforehand. Who was feeding you with all that info?
He reached out for your collar again, but to his surprise, he couldn't move his arm anymore. “What the fork?!” His eyes turned to look up at you, his soft lips were parted due to disbelief. “Thankfully it worked~ otherwise I’d be cheese by now!” You joked, taking another step forwards him. “Holy wubabboo- is this your doing?” A confused expression spread on your face and you questioned, “Did what?” What the- what was happening, he couldn't comprehend this darned situation.
“How did you pull this off-? UrGhh!!” Out of nowhere, he dropped down to his knees, hovering and kneeling on the ground while sweating furiously. There was no strength left in his legs, or he lost control of his limbs somehow. On the outside he looked like a robot out of power, arms dangling next to him all lifeless. “Fudge! Tell me! What did you do?!” This has to be your doing, the timing is too perfect. You scanned his body again, smirking to yourself. "I had to prepare a lot for this, you know."
His ears perked at your confession, were you finally getting bored of that clueless act? Your face was barely visible since the alley wasn’t very bright, there was only one dimly lit street lamp around the corner. “You were easier to catch than I thought.” You then uttered. What the hell is this! That was supposed to be his line, so how did things end up this way? He is a motherfudging cyborg, what could you have possibly done to him?
The word confusion was basically written all over his face, he couldn’t even curse at you because he was so baffled, so perplexed about basically everything. Then, you raised your foot and stepped down on his shoulder. He turned his head to the side just to be faced with your shoe, the soles dirtied his cropped jacket.
“Get off me, you son of a nice fugin' lady.” Boothill gritted his teeth, trying to push you away. But the word in capital letter and underlined was 'trying', since he couldn’t move at all. He felt as helpless as the day he lost his home, unable to do anything but watch from the sidelines. “I like that feisty look in your eyes, cowboy.” You teased, those stinging words hurting his ego. Suddenly you leaned down, all so you could meet his gaze more easily.
Your hands reached for the glass of malt juice standing on the staircase and held it above his face. It shone in a golden light, almost akin to a disco ball. His eyes were glued to that glass, partly because he wondered what you planned to do. “Here, as I said before, this shouldn’t go to waste.” You told him and grabbed his chin. It happened so suddenly that he couldn’t react to it, not like he could have done anything in self-defense anyway. “Ugh, let go you mother- fuuHHMM!!”
When he opened his mouth to curse and to let out a shocked yelp, you forcefully poured the drink down his throat. It streamed down his oesophagus. You had to admit, he had good reflexes for reacting to this so quickly. Some of the liquid landed on his lips or cheeks, but he drank most of the juice. You watched the remains that weren't swallowed drip down his chin, soiling his clothes further and creating a darker spot on the fabric. It also covered his metallic chest in a golden shine, one could easily confuse it with oil.
The cyborg closed his eyes to avoid the liquor getting in places it shouldn’t, he choked a little since you were pouring so fast he couldn’t keep up with the swallowing. This didn’t stop until the glass was empty, even the bullet you gifted him earlier ended up in his mouth. He let it rest on his tongue for a while, before gulping it down as well. “Mmmh, guhh- cough cough!”
Boothill gasped, the bullet didn’t roll in as easily as the malt juice, it remained stuck in his throat. He had to cough a few times for it to slide down, after that he instantly complained, “Fu-fudge... why did you do that? I wanted to enjoy my drink slowly!” But he stopped mid-track when your familiar laugh echoed in his ears, and your fingertips stroked his chin. Shivers ran down his spine at your touch, he didn't know why.
“Dear ranger~ did your mommy not teach you not to take things from a stranger?” His eyes twitched and widened, you couldn’t really grasp the expression he pulled, though he looked devastated. It seems a light switch clicked inside his thick skull. Did you mess with his drink? Boothill just couldn't keep calm anymore at the realization, glaring at you with a nasty attitude. “Oh my, did I hit a sore spot there? You look like you want to kill me.” Yet his threatening, imposing body language didn’t scare you off, which is why you continued ridiculing him.
“I’ll ask you a last time, what the fork did you do to me?" Despite all these misfortunes, he didn't give up his insolent side, he was planning on giving you a hard time until the very end. Boothill was showing his sharp teeth once again, but this time he wasn’t smiling. “Are you familiar with Sulfuric acid?” You uttered, tapping his lips with your thumb. That word was foreign to him, was it something he would know? He wanted to bite down on his bottom lip, but you stopped him. This feeling, it was latex, you were wearing gloves.
“You see, it’s potent enough to melt metal.” The expression that followed after you enlightened him of its importance was simply amazing, you were curious about what he felt in that moment. Shock? Anger? Frustration? Maybe even self-hatred? “Then, how did you-” “Hey, I wasn’t done talking. Anyway, to answer your question, I hid it inside the bullet. Then I just had to wait for it to melt through the brass and voila, need me to say more?” What a talent you have for spouting such horrendous things with an innocent tone.
“Everything’s going according to your plan, huh, explaining everything when the hero’s subdued.” He repeated your words, then coughed again because his throat was burning. Actually, it hurt and itched. His face also felt like it was on fire, or to be precise, his skin did. It was so painful he had to clench his teeth to suppress the pain. You laughed under your breath, laughing at him, mocking him. “Right, if it’s potent enough to inflict wounds on a cyborg, then of course it irritates the skin as well.” Well, that should explain why his skin was hurting. “Now, boothill, may I give you another advice?”
Your hand caressed his cheeks as you asked him that, face only millimetres away from his. The way you touched him was surprisingly gentle, it made him sick. “What do you want.” He scorned, shaking his head to brush off your hand. “I’m sure you have extra protection around the more important components inside your system, though you should still get rid of the acid.” You looked unfazed when he avoided your touch, instead you closed the already nonexistent distance between you two and whispered into his ear.
The male looked mad, really damn angry. He yelled into your face, “Well fudge me I guess?! I can’t forking move my body!” That caught you off guard, you blinked a few times at his aggressive behavior. Don't get you wrong, it's not that you didn’t understand his point of view. On the contrary, it's good to see him still so energetic. “Ah~ my bad, I didn’t think the acid would break your control Center first. Why is it located right next to your stomach anyway?” You admitted, scratching your head a little.
This was so easy that it was almost boring, you expected him to put up more of a fight. But you can't blame him when he's basically a cripple right now. “In other words, I’m fudged? Fork this, dying so dishonorable tsk tsk.” Boothill snarled, rolling his eyes, he didn’t consider himself a living man before, but now he was dead-dead if you knew what he meant.
You glanced at his face, he was sweating and his complexion didn’t look all that good. He acted as if he didn't mind it, but he was hanging onto life so dearly it almost moved you. In the end, you proposed in a tender tone, “Want me to help you?” The ranger was still glaring at you, though his gaze bore more skeptic than fury. “You caused this first- fine, I don’t have any choice but to accept do I?”
No matter how he despised you, he can't carry out revenge when he's dead. It's not that he trusted you to 'save' him, but rather, this is his last resort. As soon as he finished his sentence, you yanked on his chin to make him look up at you. The tips of his hair were wet due to the alcohol, and his skin also reddened due to the acid. Your thumb pressed on his bottom lip, almost pulling at it. A faint blush crept onto his cheeks at the intimate touch. Adorable.
When he parted his lips a little, you took that opportunity to stuff your index and middle finger into his mouth. “What- Mhm..!?” The male groaned, finding himself in a pretty bizarre situation. God how embarrassing, he was falling into a shameful abyss he couldn't crawl out anymore. Truth be told, he had a pretty accurate guess on what you wanted to do, though he really didn’t want to actually carry it out. Was this the only way?
You stuck your digits deeper inside, already at the second knuckle, causing him to flinch and twitch. His eyes were tightly shut, brows furrowed while a growing blush covered his features. Damn it, this is worse than any nightmares, this feels the worst. So what was this bubbling and tingly sensation he felt? It was messing with him, causing him to shudder. He could feel your fingers pressing down on his tongue, as well as you trying to not cut yourself on his teeth. This was weird, it was so strange, why was he getting lightheaded?
“Don’t act so surprised now, I’m helping you as you wanted.” After watching his helpless face for a while, you commented on it, obviously not planning on stopping the teasing anytime soon. It seems you caught on to the growing tension between the two of you, so you chuckled, “Hey... what’s this I'm seeing? Why is your face getting red?” His once half-lidded eyes were yanked wide open at the thought that he got exposed.
Don't tell him he was enjoying this perverted act. “Hmm! Sho-shou ap..!” Boothill tried to speak despite the difficulties, feeling your digits reaching deeper and deeper. With each poke, the tingly feeling also increased. Was this perhaps what they called sexual pleasure? If so, why did he have to experience it for the first time at your hands?
A few seconds later, you were knuckles-deep inside him, fingertips already rubbing the walls of his throat. It was wet and hot in his mouth, and his face seemed to be gradually heating as well. That process was speeding up quite rapidly. His cheeks quickly turned red, a foggy blush tainting the skin. He was blushing so much just from sucking on your fingers a little? You simply couldn’t miss out on ridiculing him yet again, purring into his ear once more, “Does this turn you on? How cute.”
His pupils shrank at your comment, probably at the disbelief that you’d say something this audacious. Him? Turned on by you? What a joke- this can’t be real. He was just having a hard time breathing, and that’s why he was getting red. Really. Though deep down, he knew he couldn't sugarcoat it, the truth will always be the truth, no matter how he denies its existence. “MhMm, guhNn, hmm-nggHh..!” The cowboy tried to argue with you, though his protests were muffled by you, only inaudible noises could be made out.
There were also sneaky moans mixed among his protests or little gasps. The vibrations of his voice tickled your skin, it felt pretty funny actually. “What was that? I can't understand you~” You admitted cheerfully, watching the emotion on his face rotate from shock, and anger to frustration. What a shameless person you were, and not to forget heartless.
Then you pressed down on his wet muscle once again, and he gagged around you. “Ughhh..!” That one single gag soon turned into a series of chokes, and tears began collecting in his eye sockets. So he still had his gag reflex, excellent, it was exactly what you needed. More coughs and chokes continuously spilled from the male while you mercilessly ravished his throat.
He could feel you poking his throat so deep it almost hurt, yet that wasn't the only thing he felt. No. Far from it, his body was burning up from the inside, though it was a different kind of heat than the effects of the acid. His mind felt so foggy and weakened, was it alright for him to let his guard down in times like this? When he still hasn't discovered your purpose? But he couldn't hang on anymore, it was as if his brain was melting. Never ever was it this challenging for him to hang on to his reason and logic, to what makes him human.
"Dahmmmm it..! S-stouu! GuhHGG..!!" He choked again, but this time, it felt like something was coming out... no, it was- "hmHHh, fooouukk!! Ugh-guUH!" This familiar sensation and taste, he couldn't move his tongue but he could still taste it faintly. Not to mention the burdensome smell, this familiar smell that stayed around his nostrils. The Asdana he just gurgled down was coming up again, he was on the verge of vomiting. It was as if his body rejected the drink, and he couldn't stop gagging.
At least his insides won't get messed up any longer, that must be the only positive thing in all this. Even so, to do something that shameful in front of you, damn it, he wants to spit at you if he could. You noticed how his throat tightened, or how his Adam's apple moved around. With that, you took your fingers out as fast as how you stuck them inside him. Strings of saliva connected your fingertips with his mouth, and his tongue hung outside for a while. "Ugh, fu-gUhg, UhmM!!"
Right afterward, he puked on the ground, head hanging low while more gaging sounds left him. His pupils shrunk as the contents spilled onto the filthy ground. Those embarrassing noises didn't cease until he choked up the bullet he had previously swallowed. Then, he whimpered at the taste, it had become sour now due to the chemical. "There you go, you should be fixed now." You reported, but he couldn't bring himself to be joyful about it.
Rather, he was sweating furiously, eyes widened and almost dried up. If he could cry, he definitely would have. Oh how thankful he was in that moment that he physically couldn't sob. He wouldn't have been able to live with the shame of breaking down in tears and weeping in front of you. "Uhhhhg, da-mHnn it... fu-uGGhh!!" The taste of the alcohol wasn't as pleasant as before, probably due to it getting corrupted by the acid you mentioned. Such a waste, and to think it landed on the floor now. A place like that wasn't worth a drink this exquisite.
His eyelids and brows twitched, and now that he was done, he clenched his teeth again and insulted you, "You muddlefudger..." That rebellious look in his gaze didn't vanish, he glared at you once more. You were almost impressed if you didn't notice a small glimmer of falter within his tough facade. Despite it being a normal bodily reaction, he seems to be holding it against you. "And here I thought I helped you out, how ungrateful." You clicked your tongue, and his face became redder. Was it because of the humiliation or anger?
Your shoe was still on his shoulder, pressing down on him, reminding him of his vulnerable position. The Cowboy snapped at you, spitting through gritted teeth, "What do ya' got planned now?" You took off your gloves, they were covered in his saliva. Then you revealed, "I'm not sure." He only got more annoyed by that nonchalant answer and demanded, "If you're going to kill me make it quick." Weirdly enough, your eyes glimmered, as if you were inspired by his suggestion. "If that's what you want, I don't mind it." You smirked, patting his head, stroking his long hair as your other hand sneakily pulled out the gun around his waist.
He almost lost himself in that small gesture of comfort you gave him, if it wasn't for him seeing you with his gun in your hand. "Hah.. with my own weapon? Fudge, you want to humiliate me to the end huh." How resentful he sounded, you almost pitied this guy. "Maybe I do." After saying that irritatingly proud, you pressed his revolver against his forehead, pushing his bangs to the side. "But this is a little boring, don't you think?"
As if you were truly interested in his opinion, he found it quite difficult to believe that. "Why do you ask me?" Boothill gnarled, but to his surprise, you moved the revolver away. Instead, the barrel was pressed flat against his chest, the muzzle facing his chin. "What are you..?" The male mumbled, twisting his expression at this damned play you organized for him. For you, all this must be a game, a stage you laid out for him, where he was a mindless puppet playing right into your hand.
He thought he couldn't be surprised anymore, yet your actions kept going beyond anything he could ever imagine. You moved the revolver upwards so that the muzzle was touching the underside of his chin. At the same time, the gun was going underneath his short jacket. "Y-you..!" The cyborg couldn't help but blush a little. His face was hot, overheating even compared to the cold weapon you held in your hands. "Do you still want to die? If you beg, I might spar you?" Your tone didn't sound that serious, it was almost said in a joking manner.
“Fork you, never." Boothill snarled again, acting disobedient even though his life was at stake. He had a strong spirit since he was still so cocky after all the things he went through. You wiped off the smile from your face, now staring down at him with a cold-blooded expression, "I'll count down from three then. Three..." Wha- no, this can't be the end, he still has to find Oswaldo. His artificial heart pounded against his chest, causing his mind to fall into chaos. "Two."
You were so cruel, counting down like this without remorse, a fudging monster! Adrenaline was being pumped through his body, or should he rather say every wire he owned? "One-" Without thinking, since he lost that privilege the moment you began counting, he yelled as fast as he could and closed his eyes, "Fudge! Fine! If m'gonna die lemme at least curse at you! You- er, muddlefudging clocksucker!!" Right now, he kind of wished he could cry, just to let out some steam. You couldn't help but giggle, before uttering the word, "Zero." Suddenly, he blanked out.
For a split second, time appeared to have stopped. What followed after was a loud, ear-splitting sound that echoed through the alley. To be expected, it definitely alarmed other people. Then, absolute silence emerged. Not even the faint music from the bar could be heard anymore. "Ah... hu-huh..?" "Oh? Seems like your gun wasn't loaded!" You giggled, you knew this from the start, didn't you? Pants along with a few choked-out whines escaped him. Shivers traveled through him and electricity was being sent to his brain, stimulating the euphoric parts.
A moment later, a slap sound reached his ears, and a sting that felt strangely pleasant originated from his cheek. His face turned to the side, and his cheek throbbed. "uh-urghh..! Ah, wha-what?" Did you just... slap him? Boothill groaned, shaking a little as drool rolled down his chin because his mouth remained open for too long. His spit also defiled the gun, wetting the revolver. Then, the unimaginable happened, and he let out an unrestrained moan, "ahhhHHHNngg..!?" It was high-pitched and whorish, he wore such a confused but slutty expression that it surprised both of you.
Reality crushed down on him too hard, and he couldn't help but gasp and whimper underneath his ragged inhales. "Ugh..ngh- wha-what's this fe-feeling..? W-why.. ha-hmnHg..♡♥︎?" Oh dear, this is not what you think just happened, right? "Boothill, did you just cum?" You said his name after a long while, and he groaned again, "guHhh... s-stop, that's nonsense! How can I e-even.. I-" The boy stumbled over his words, stuttering as a deep blush was painted over his entire face. He was such a twitchy mess now, totally different than his previous self.
“Are you a masochist?” You asked him randomly, it was so out of pocket that it killed the mood. "...are you crazy?" Boothill replied with scorn, his pride was pretty hurt by that statement. As if to test your speculation, you grabbed the back of his hair and yanked on it, making him yelp. "Arghh..! L-let go- fudge!" Then you squeezed his cheeks and stuck out your tongue. He stared at you hesitantly, his own tongue also hanging outside. Mere moments later, your spit was dripping down and landing in his mouth.
That action rendered him speechless, causing him to freeze. Your saliva tasted a little like alcohol. Darn it, this was so disgusting. Once you were done, you let go of the cowboy again, before teasing him, "I was right, you are a masochistic dog~" You knew because of his flushed cheeks, they became redder at your lewd antics. "Are you satisfied now? The fork do you want from me?!" Boothill scoffed, he could only bear this much until his breaking point. "What do I want?" You repeated his sentence, and put a finger on your chin as if you were thinking hard about something.
In the meantime, boothill impatiently waited, he desperately wanted to know your intentions, to see if it justified your actions. When you moved your finger away, you grinned before responding, "I think the answer is you." "...huh?" The cyborg was stunned, staring up at you with spirals in his pupils as you suddenly embraced him. "You heard me, boothill." Your voice and your hug were so warm, he didn't know you could be this gentle.
No, this was no good, it was troubling, to say the least. "Y/n? You- shirt, what do you mean?" For the first time, you heard your name come out of his mouth. His voice trembled as he voiced out your name, the way he said it had a nice ring to it. Then he glared at you once again, but this time he looked like a small animal, eyes glistening while a heavy blush formed on his face. Wait, why was he even blushing? Maybe, because he was wanted for the first time after centuries?
"I hate you." He said after returning to his senses, he got caught up in his emotions there for a moment. These little bits of comfort aren't enough to make up for the mess you caused, and he didn't feel the same. On the other hand, you couldn't stop smirking, and he knew by the looks of it that it wasn't an innocent smile by length. "Let's get out of here, I'll help you move." You then told him and helped him get up, pulling him by his arms.
This was immediately met with angry protests from the male, "Don't touch me- hey, ugh! Where the fudge are you taking me?" The second he let his guard down, you stuffed your gloves into his mouth to muffle his voice, "hMHh?! MmhhGFFF!!!" After that, to satisfy his curiosity, you whispered quietly, "To a place where I can have you."
.
.
"Finally, the guards are here." One of the guests said, to which another one answered, "Thank god because no one dared to go see what was going on." Maybe people we in disarray due to the mysterious sound they all heard. It was probably a gunshot, which means, someone might have died. Yet no one dared to go into the alley, out of fear that they might be the next victim. After the guards arrived, a rather large group of people followed them and ran over to the scene.
They all wanted to know what that gunshot was, standing on the sidelines and observing the investigation. 'What the hell happened here?!' Everyone wondered, eyes searching around for evidence. The only hints they found were two glasses standing on the staircase with some credits, as well as a pool of what seems to be malt juice lying on the ground along with a single golden bullet in the midst of it.
The guard in charge of this operation reached out for the bullet and said, "...someone must have been shot." Then he eyed the bullet up and down, in hopes of finding more clues. That's when he noticed a weird detail, "Why are there holes in the bullet?"

Nini!rant 2.0:
Based on my findings, concentrated sulfuric acid can melt many metals, like aluminium, iron and steel. (Boothill isn’t safe hehe) It’s enough if it’s moderately concentrated, so it’s alright if a bit of water mixes into it as well. It also reacts to brass - the copper aspect of it, I dunno if it reacts to zink as well. Some sources say yes, some denied it.
Anyway, the Formular for the melting process or chemical reaction would be: Cu + h2So4 -> CuSo4 + h2 or Fe + h2So4 -> FeSo4 h2
So it also creates hydrogen gas at the same time, which also melts iron and is poison for the human body. Annnnd copper Sulfid, which is weak and easily breakable, that means it can weaken the brass.
My plan to poison him: his favourite drink is malt juice with a 9mm calliber bullet that’s out of brass. And malt juice is out of ca. 25-30% water. So, I was thinking of drilling a hole into the bottom of the bullet and use a needle to shoot concentrated sulfuric acid inside the capsule. Then drop that in the malt juice. Now we just gotta wait for the acid to melt through the bullet, and mix with the water of the alcohol, then it’d become moderately concentrated. Btw sulfuric acid can absorb water from everywhere, even from the air.
Then if he drinks it, bam, his insides will melt. It might take a bit, so we gotta entertain him and stretch out the time. Even if he doesn’t drink it, he eats bullets, so he’ll get the acid inside his body anyway. With that, we successfully ‘poisoned’ him. It takes a bit of fantasy but oh well.
Now, take this hangman’s blood recipe:
- 1¾ parts gin.
- 1¾ parts white rum.
- 1¾ parts whiskey.
- 1¾ parts brandy.
- 7½ parts stout beer.
- 6 parts champagne.

What if this is the end? | Alexia Putellas x Reader
Part 2 of 'What if this is the end?'
5k celebration prompt: "If you walk out that door, don't bother coming back."
Warnings: breakup, car crash, injuries
Woso masterlist | Words: 2.5k
-----
As soon as you watched Alexia leave the room, you wanted to sit up to be more comfortable, but you quickly realised you shouldn't. A sharp pain shot through your torso. Tears pricked in your eyes at the sudden feeling.
You took a closer look at yourself. A bandaged arm, and you felt bandages on your stomach as well. After lifting up your blanket, you saw your leg was in a cast. And you had already felt that your face was a little sore.
Memories of the accident filled your mind. Your heart racing as you relived the horrible moments that got you into the hospital bed. It had all happened out of nowhere. You were just driving to get groceries, and then a car crashed into you at full speed. After that everything went blank.
Just as your tears started rolling down your cheeks, Alexia walked back in with a nurse. They were talking full of optimism about you being awake, but then Alexia saw your tears, and heard the monitor beeping faster than before.
She was by your side instantly, “It’s okay. You’re safe now.” She reached out her hand, but slowly pulled it back again, not wanting to overstep. You noticed her pulling her hand away, and quickly reached out and took her hand in your.
Alexia squeezed your hand gently, a silent way of saying she was there for you. Your heart rate started to slow down a bit again once she was by your side. So, the nurse who had been checking your monitors in the meantime, spoke up.
She told you about your injuries and did a couple of tests. The information was all a lot, but when you looked over you saw Alexia listening intensely and nodding along with everything the nurse said, so you knew that you were okay to not catch all of it.
Once the tests were done, you asked if you were allowed to have something to eat since you were quite hungry. The nurse said you were free to have whatever you wanted, and told Alexia where the cafeteria was. Alexia had different plans though, she pulled out her phone and told you to pick what you wanted her to order.
She briefly left to grab the food from the delivery driver downstairs, and quickly made her way back to your room. Together you ate the food in silence. Until Alexia’s phone buzzed. It was your mom letting her know that they had just landed in Barcelona.
“Do you mind if I step out real quick to pick up your parents from the airport?” You nodded, “Yeah, I’ll be fine. Thank you.” Alexia stepped towards the table where she had put down all her stuff to grab her keys and wallet. “Alright, I will be right back.”
She was about to step out of the room when you called her back. “Ale, wait!” Alexia stopped in her tracks and turned back around. “My parents don’t know about the, ehm, well our situation.”
“You didn’t tell them?” You shake your head, “I was hoping we would be able to fix things and I didn’t want our fight to stand in the way of how my parents saw you if we were able to, I guess.” Alexia’s heart started beating a little faster, and she was glad she wasn’t hooked up to the monitors herself, because it would have clearly shown. “Alright, good to know.” She said with a small smile before stepping out again.
On the way back over to the hospital your parents asked every question they could think of. Alexia answered them to the best of her ability, but didn’t know the answer to all the questions. Still her parents were grateful for the quick call, and all the information their future daughter in law was giving them.
The ride was quick, and they were in your room in no time. Finally being able to see you. Your mom rushed in first, “Oh sweetheart, I’m so glad you’re okay.” She kissed your forehead and took your hand in hers. “You had us worried, kiddo.” Your dad says from the other side of your bed.
Alexia stood back as your parents were all over you, suddenly she seemed nervous. Your eyes were on her, and your dad followed your line of sight. He looked Alexia over now in a different light that he knew his daughter was okay. “You’re still in your kit. Did you come straight from training?”
She looked down, just now realising she was still in her full training kit. Complete with her grass stained shorts, and socks rolled down to her ankles. “Eh right, I just got back from training when I got the call. Came straight over, but I should probably go back and take a shower now that you’re both here.” She was suddenly aware of how she looked right now.
“Can you stay?” You said before your dad could answer. Alexia was about to nod when your dad said, “Don’t be silly, darling. Let the girl go home and take a shower. She can come back after.” You felt defeated, what if she wouldn’t come back again? Your parents were here now, they could take over being there for you and caring for you.
Your mind was spiraling, you wanted her to stay. The urge to ask her to stay was confusing you, because you’ve been needing space from her the past month. But having her by your side made you feel safer and more at ease in the hospital. You didn’t want to leave that comfort and the fact that Alexia was there when you needed her.
Alexia seemed to notice your mind being on something and stepped closer. “Do you guys mind if I have a moment with her before I head out?” She asked your parents. Your mom nodded and put her hand on Alexia’s shoulder. “Of course, dear, we’ll go find the nurse and ask her about the care plan.”
The moment they closed the door behind them, you turned to Alexia. “I get it if you want to stay away.” Alexia shook her head immediately, “I don’t want that. I just felt super gross after training, and completely forgot about it because I was so worried about you. I’ll be back after my shower, I promise.”
She was leaning with her elbows on your bed, her necklace with your ring dangling from her neck once more. You reach out and let it move between your fingers. “Thank you for being here, it means a lot hearing you came right over.”
Alexia nods slowly, “Of course, no need to thank me.” You let the ring go gently, “We should talk, you know when I’m not laying in a hospital bed.” She chuckled lightly at your joke. “Yeah we should, but it can wait until you’re out of here. I promise that I will be here in the meantime.”
“Quick question.” Alexia said as she sat up again. “I know you didn’t tell your parents about what happened, but they are now here and usually stay at our place when they visit.” She didn’t even have to finish her question for you to understand what she was aiming for.
“If you’re okay with it too, I’d like to come home when I get discharged. I know we have to talk and work on stuff, but I’d rather do that from the comfort of my own home.” Alexia let the corners of her lips curl up slightly, “I’m okay with that.”
“Alright, well that’s settled then.” You smile a little yourself. “Oh can you maybe pick up my stuff from Nat’s place while you go home? Only if it’s not too much to ask of course.” Alexia was quick to agree, saying it was no trouble at all.
Your parents staying at your place ended up being good for you and Alexia. Since the two of you didn’t want to give anything away to them, you slept in your shared bedroom together. At first you thought maybe it would be a little awkward with not everything being resolved yet, but quickly you had realised those evenings of laying in bed together were moments where you could have deep conversations and really talk about your situation.
After your second surgery two weeks after the injury, they switched you from a full cast to a leg brace. While still annoying, it got a lot easier to move around, and for that you were grateful.
With more of your mobility back, and you constantly telling them it was okay, your parents flew back home. Alexia promised to take good care of you, and update them on your recovery whenever there was something to update on.
Now it was just the two of you back home. You had really been working on your problems since the moment you got back home from the hospital. Speaking about the things that went wrong, both your feelings that led to it, and of course how you could work on fixing those things.
“Hey, I’m off to training. Text me if you need anything?” Alexia said with her head around the doorframe of the bedroom. You look up from your book and smile, “I will, thank you. Good luck at training.”
After finishing a couple more chapters, you decide that you should get up and work on the exercises the physio gave you. Only to look in your closet and realise none of the workout clothes you owned were going to work with your brace.
You let your eyes wander over to Alexia’s section of the closet, to no one’s surprise, she had plenty of different workout clothes to choose from that would work. An old pair of Barca shorts is what you settle on.
The exercises were going surprisingly well. Of course it was a bit of a struggle at first, but once you got the hang of it, you were able to do continuous reps of the prescribed exercises. You were in a great flow of them, when your phone rang.
The screen lit up with your boss’s number, and you rolled your eyes. He had been calling a lot, asking when you’d be back in. Not a single ounce of compassion since the moment you had called to tell him what happened, and that you would be out for a bit.
You pick up the phone, and sure enough, he’s calling to ask if you’re coming back to work. Once again you told him it might take a bit, but he brushes off your injury like it’s nothing. Meanwhile you’re sitting on the ground, out of breath from the simple exercises you were doing.
Finally you had enough of his rude behaviour, it’s not like you had been loving the job before your injury, so you finally spoke your thoughts out loud. “If that’s how you’re going to be, I quit.” You didn’t even wait for a response, you just hung up the phone.
It felt good for a moment, but then reality set in. You were an adult with bills to pay, quitting your job wasn’t the best idea with no back up plan in mind.
When Alexia came back home, you were a crying mess, laying on the floor. Alexia rushed to your side, thinking you hurt yourself. “Oh god, are you alright? I should’ve just stayed home so you wouldn’t be home alone. I’ll take time off football, I don’t want you to not have anyone around when something happens.”
You shake your head and wipe away your tears. “I’m okay, I didn’t fall or anything.” Alexia breathes a sigh of relief, but then her brows furrowed. “What happened then?” You pick up your phone and show her the screen filled with missed calls from your boss.
“I might have kind of quit just now, and I was freaking out because I don’t have a back-up plan. I just couldn’t take his ignorance anymore.” Alexia nods, she knew how stupid he had been since the accident. Not once had he given a nice phone call, it was always about needing you back in the office asap.
“What if you did have a back-up plan?” You look at her confused, “That would be very nice but I don’t have one.”
“Just hear me out.” Alexia said, offering you a hand to help you onto the cough. ”I’ve been thinking a lot about how you said you don’t want me to stop all my projects because you know what they mean to me, but you also felt like because of them we were seeing less of each other.”
While not yet sure what she was getting at, you nodded along. “What if you worked on the projects with me? It would totally be up to you of course, if you’d be interested or not. But if you want it, I would love for you to join me at Eleven. I know how you’ve had your annoyances with your added job tasks that you never asked for, here we could fully make the role into something that you would enjoy.”
“You want me to work for you?” You say after letting the idea sink in for a moment. “Not for me, but with me.”
You’re quiet for another moment, thinking about her offer. Alexia gives you all the time you need, not even expecting an answer from you right away. It was simply an offer, she didn’t even know if you would be into something like that.
Then you say, “Yes.”
“Yes?” Alexia isn’t sure if this is you already saying yes to the offer, or something entirely different.
“Yes, I would love to work on Eleven with you. I know how passionate you are about it, and I think with the right job description it would be something I could really enjoy as well.” You add to expand your answer.
“Alright then, whenever you feel up for it, we can talk about all the things you would want to do and we’ll figure everything out. No need to worry about any of that right now though.”
A smile creeps up your face, when thinking of this new opportunity. It might be exactly what your relationship needed.
“I like your shorts.” She says when her eyes fall on them. You blush lightly, “They were the easiest for my exercises, I hope you don’t mind.” Alexia shakes her head, “Not at all. I still stand by the what's mine is yours deal, cariño.”
Now it was Alexia’s turn to blush, the nickname had come out so naturally. You just chuckle at her reaction and lean into her side. “I missed hearing that.”

Hello!! I hope you're having a good day ^^ I came across your post about writing non-linearly on Notion and I'm excited to try it out because the advice resonated with me! Though, I'm really new to using the app and, if possible, need help with how to do this part: 'where every scene is a separate table entry and the scene is written in the page inside that entry.' ;v;
Hello! Thank you so much for messaging!!! Since that post about writing non-linearly (linked for context) blew up roughly ten thousand times as much as anything I've ever posted, I've been kind of meaning to make a followup post explaining more about how I use Notion for writing non-linearly, but, you know, ADHD, so I haven't done it yet. XD In the meantime, I'll post a couple screenshots of my current long fic with some explanations! I'd make this post shorter, but I'm unable to not be Chatty. XD (just ask my poor readers how long my author notes are...) (There is a phone app as well which syncs with the desktop/browser versions, but I work predominantly in the desktop app so that's what I'm gonna be showing)
(the table keeps going off the right side of the image but it's a bunch of unimportant stuff tbh) So this is more complicated than what you'll probably start with because I'm Normal and add a bunch of details that you might not need depending on what you're doing. For example, my fic switches POVs so I have a column for tracking that, and my fic follows a canon timeline so I have a column for dates so I can keep track of them, and I also made columns for things like if a scene had spoilers or certain content readers may want to avoid, which they can access in my spoiler and content guide for the fic. (As I said, I'm Normal.) I also do some complicated stuff using Status and estimated wordcount stuff to get an idea of how long I predict the content to be, but again, not necessary. Anyway, you don't need any of that. For the purposes of this explanation, we're just gonna look at the columns I have called Name, Order, and Status. (And one called Part, but we'll get into that later) Columns in Notion have different types, such as Text, Numbers, Select, Date, etc, so make sure to use the type that works best for the purpose of each column! For example, here I'm using Select for Character POVs, Number for Order and WC (wordcount), and Text for the In-Game Date. Okay let's get into it! Name is a column that comes in a Notion table by default, and you can't get rid of it (which drives me up the wall for some purposes but works totally fine for what we're doing here). As you can see on the scene I've labeled 'roll call', if you hover over a Name entry, a little button called 'Open' appears, which you click on to open the document that's inside the table. That's all default, you don't have to set anything up for it. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like when I click the one titled 'I will be anything for you' (I've scrolled down in the screenshot so you can see the text, but all the data fields also appear at the top of the page)
(This view is called 'side peek' meaning the document opens on one side and you can still see the table under it on the left, which is what mine defaults to. But you can set it to 'center peek' or 'full page' as well.) All my scenes have their own entry like this! Note that I've said scenes, not chapters. I decide the chapters later by combining the scenes in whatever combination feels right, which means I can often decide in advance where my chapter endings will be. This helps me consciously give most of my endings more impact than I was usually able to do when I tried to write linearly. So hopefully that gives you an idea of what I mean by writing inside the table and treating the table as a living outline. The 'Status' column is also pretty straightforward, and might require a little setup for whatever your needs are. This is another default column type Notion has which is similar to a Select but has a few more specialized features. This is how mine is set up:
(I don't actually use 'Done', idk why I left it there. Probably I should replace it with 'Posted' and use that instead of the checkmark on the far left? whatever, don't let anyone tell you I'm organized. XDD)
Pretty straightforward, it just lets me see easily what's complete and what still needs work. (You'll notice there's no status for editing, because like I mentioned in my other post, I don't ever sit down to consciously edit, I just let it happen as I reread) Obviously tailor this to your own needs! The Order column is sneakily important, because this is what makes it easy for me to keep the scenes organized. I set the Sort on the table to use the Order to keep the scene ordered chronologically. When I make the initial list of scenes I know the fic will have, I give all of them a whole number to put them in order of events. Then as I write and come up with new scene ideas, the new scenes get a number with a decimal point to put them in the spot they fit in the timeline. (you can't see it here, but some of them have a decimal three or four digits deep, lol). Technically you can drag them to the correct spot manually, but if you ever create another View in your table (you can see I have eight Views in this one, they're right under the title) it won't keep your sorting in the new View and you'll hate yourself when it jumbles all your scenes. XD (And if you get more comfortable with Notion, you probably will at some point desire to make more Views) The Part column isn't necessary, but I found that as the fic grew longer, I was naturally separating the scenes into different points along the timeline by changes in status quo, etc. (ex. "this is before they go overseas" "this is after they speak for the first time", stuff like that) in my mind. To make it easier to decide where to place new scenes in the timeline, I formalized this into Parts, which initially I named with short summaries of the current status quo, and later changed to actual titles because I decided it would be cool to actually use them in the fic itself. Since it's not in the screenshots above, here's what the dropdown for it looks like:
(I've blocked some of the titles out for spoiler reasons)
Basically I only mention the Parts thing because I found it was a useful organizational tool for me and I was naturally doing it in my head anyway. Anyway, I could keep talking about this for a really long time because I love Notion (don't get me started on how I use toggle blocks for hiding content I've edited out without deleting it) but that should be enough to get started and I should really, you know, not make this another insanely long post. XDD And if anybody is curious about how the final results look, the fic can be found here.

First time with an autobot
Cliffjumper. Valveplug. Minors dni. Fem reader. No foreplay we goin' in.
The feel of velvet flesh squeezing Cliffjumper’s spike had him shuddering slightly. Letting out a guttural groan as he manages to slide some of himself in. Human valve was incredibly tight– yet so soft and warm. He knew he’d have to go slow the entire time. He didn’t mind that. If he went any faster he’d have overloaded by now.
“Primus… that’s so tight…” He murmurs to himself. He shifts his hips forward slightly, keeping his thrusts short and soft. Beneath him was the human woman. The woman that he had become rather personable with.
She was nice. And very curious of Cybertronians and their planet. So much so she had asked Cliffjumper to share this intimate moment with her. It was funny. It wasn’t like he had thought about it. Then again, he didn’t not think about it either. He hadn’t realized until the question left her lips, a sheepish look on her face that their friendship was heading that way.
Frankly, he felt honored to be chosen. This human had built a rapport with a number of autobots. And he wasn’t the only shortstack of the team after all. A few times being mistaken for Bumblebee, but that's because he was just more popular. That stuff didn't matter to Cliffjumper, not with the war going on. But it did stroke his ego a tiny bit to be asked of this. Besides, the autobots were deserted on this pale blue dot indefinitely. No sign of deceptions anywhere in this star’s system either. So, in the meantime, Cliffjumper would indulge in this. Just a bit. Agreeing to do so in the privacy of her somewhat rural home.
He could feel his spike rubbing up against the walls of his human friend. The red bot shudders, doing his best to keep composure and control himself. In the past, due to his smaller size, he had often been the one being spiked. Again, he didn't mind it. But It was rare for him to be given the lead. Being given the chance to show what he can do. How cybertronians do it. He was determined to not give a bad performance. He would not waste this opportunity to make her feel amazing.
She whimpers while her legs wrap around his hips as best as she could manage. The size difference between the two was the best part of all this, but it did come with some pitfalls. To mitigate this, Cliffjumper grabs her ankles. Being careful to use a gentle grip and spread her legs further, raising them slightly. Slowly, his spike buried deeper. At just the right point too he guessed. She arched her back and shivered.
His spike had ridges of plating that caressed the sensitive entrance of her body as he had made that slow, deeper push. Her body stretched slightly to take Cliffjumper in. The delicious feeling of being stretched further than any average human with a dick could. It gave her a mix of both external and internal pleasure. These sensations had her squirm, her hands grasping at the blanket underneath and her shoulders tensing. A hiss of an inhale between her teeth.
“You okay?” The red bot asked in a low murmur close to her face. His frame hunching over slightly to watch her closely during this moment.
She nods hastily, a slight pleased grin forming on her face, “Yeah… Yeah that was so good. Do it again, Cliffjumper.” She adds his name to the end to encourage him.
He acknowledges her request with a nod. Slowly, he pulls his hips back and pushes in again to the same depth just as before. Doing so results in a pleased hum coming from her beneath him. A grunt leaving his voicebox as well. Eventually, he finds a slow and steady rhythm to use. Careful, and considerate.
Her hand comes up to caress along the intricate seams along his frame. Her fingers sliding up until she reaches his faceplate. It was surprisingly tender. His optics meet her eyes.
“I won’t break y’know… You can go a bit faster.” She utters to the autobot.
Cliffjumper’s jaw tightens slightly, “If you say so…” He says in a low rumble and a nod. Holding himself up with his forearms at both sides of her. He takes in an vent and increases his tempo just enough to not overwhelm her or himself. It was a tricky rhythm to find. Her breathing got louder with each press and her eyes began to shut. The red bot smirks a bit to himself slightly.
-
Not finishing cuz i ran out of ideas. But I felt like Cliffjumper needed a lil love.

This request is for all my fellas out there! Can we please get some headcanons about Ann, Makoto, Futaba, and Haru reacting to an s/o being horrifically starved for affection? Like s/o can barely remember the last time they were held, hugged, complimented, etc? And when they are, it floors them and they cling to that feeling it like a life raft? Y'know, just typical guy stuff. Thanks!
The Phantom thieves girls with a touch starved reader
A/n:typical guy stuff indeed, i still remember the last compliment I got like 3 years ago
Ann takamaki
Ann is an incredibly affectionate girlfriend, so she was a bit worried whenever you genuinely looked surprised that she hugged you or gave you a kiss or complimented you like that's not what a girlfriend is supposed to do
When she brought that up and you revealed how starved you were for affection, ann was flabbergasted. How could someone so adorable and sweet like you have gotten so little affection?
From that moment on she amped up her affection and clinginess to 100 which is saying a lot considering how affectionate she was even before
She gives you a compliment every 5 minutes and hugs you and peppers your face in kisses every time you enter a room, she doesn't care who's watching, she will give you your hourly dose of affection and no one is going to stop her
"You know you look so cute when you blush right? Awww don't be embarrassed, I'm just giving you the affection that you deserve need in your life, that's what a good girlfriend is supposed to do and lucky for you you have an amazing girlfriend like me"
Makoto niijima
Makoto is very not used to romance and affection, so she's quite touchstaverd too but not on your level
But she is very observant and very quickly saw you look uncomfortable whenever she gave you quick hugs or pecks on the lips and grew worried that she was the one making you uncomfortable in some way which she hated the thought of
But when you explained that you actually really loved those little moments of affection and were just not used to them makoto was relieved that it wasn't her fault but also sad for you because knows how it feels to not be used to affection
She is more open with physical affection than she was before, openly giving you long hugs or kisses even in public, even if the other thieves tease her to no end about it, she's not bothered as she's doing it to show you her love after all
"Hm? What is it? O-oh sorry were you not expecting that? W-well you passes your exams so I thought a kiss would be a g-good reward......oh don't mention it, I'm just glad you're happy"
Futaba sakura
Futaba kinda learned to be affectionate through being with you, she found out that she couldn't just express the love she felt for you through quiet I love yous so she just started hugging you and demanding cuddles whenever she felt like it, only in private though
She initially teased you a lot when she noticed how blushy and uncomfortable you got during those hugs, saying stuff like "what? Is this the first time you've been hugged or something?" And when you didn't laugh and just blushed more she was like "......wait actually?"
Hugs got a lot more frequent after that, just like kisses and compliments, she has an affection qouta she has to give you every day and gives you interest the next day is she does as much as give you one less kiss than usual
She's still uncomfortable about doing stuff like that in public though, but she will still mostly cling to you when you're near your friend group
"So how many hugs does that make for today? Looks like that's it then, but don't think I'm done with you yet, you still owe me a cuddle session later, maybe you can watch me game in the meantime"
Haru okumura
While haru may look quiet and blushy she is very affectionate with you, hand holding is one of her favorite things to do and so she started to worry for you since something as simple and tame as that could make you look so uncomfortable
Your touchstarvation (is that a word?) Was simply a problem that needed to be solved to haru, she couldn't have her love get so uncomfortable from simple kisses, hugs and compliments after all
Haru's hugs are so amazing you'll quickly get used (and addicted) to them. She's just very warm and soft and incredibly fluffy. She feels like she's made for hugs and cuddles she also smells very good with all the time she spends around flowers
Compliments are also one of her favorite ways to show you her love, anything you did to change your look she loves it and will make sure you know it. She will also buy you so many clothes and tell you how cute you look in everyone of them
"You look amazing darling, oh no please don't act like that. You always look amazing, and that's just the truth, I can give you all the hugs and kisses you want to prove it"

It’s my birthday is on Saturday! Could I have please a Gregory house x reader imagine?
Birthday Girl
Gregory House x Female Reader
Summary: It is Y/N's birthday and everyone seems to have forgotten but House.
TW: Established relationship, surprise party, House being sneaky.
A/N: HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🥳🎂🎉 Hope you have the best day ever!
F/N: Father's name M/N: Mother's name
It was Y/N's birthday.
Y/N was a relatively simple person and didn't expect much fanfare on her birthday, but she at least wanted it to be acknowledged. It was almost lunchtime and not one person had wished her a happy birthday.
Y/N hadn't received a single call or text from friends or family either and it was starting to get to her. She sat alone at a table in the cafeteria, picking away at a dry muffin while trying not to cry.
Y/N looked up when House sat down across from her, her eyes quickly returned to the dissected baked good as she tried to keep herself together.
"You've been upset about something all day long. You've been virtually useless in differentials and I think I know why," House started.
"Why?" Y/N questioned softly.
He stuck a hand into his blazer, pulling out a pink envelope and setting it down on the table. Y/N glanced up at him before picking it up, she opened it and slid out a card.
It was blue with a cartoon goose in a party hat on the front, in swirly pink writing it read:
Happy Birthday, you silly goose!
Y/N felt tears gathering in her eyes, "Happy birthday, Y/N," House said.
"Thank you," She said softly.
"I made reservations for us at that fancy place you like, I'll pick you up at eight," House stated.
"Okay," Y/N smiled.
House stood up from the table, "Get some real food in the meantime, none of the stuff they bake here is edible," House said.
House and Y/N had been dating for almost three years. She was an important member of his team and feelings developed between them as they spent more time together. House always had a soft spot for Y/N and he tended to be more gentle with her than he was with other members of his team.
Cuddy and Wilson both talked to Y/N when their relationship was in the early stages. They wanted her to be careful and advised her that being with him was not a good decision.
Y/N and House worked together, he was her boss and he was House, which was reason enough for her to steer clear.
House was rude, manipulative, sarcastic and downright abrasive while Y/N was the complete opposite. She was kind, trusting, soft-spoken and generally sweet, everyone who met her absolutely loved her.
Wilson and Cuddy thought that House would ruin her.
House may not have always been the romantic type, but he definitely cared for Y/N. He looked out for her in ways that weren't obvious, discreetly checking in to make sure she was doing alright.
For the most part, House had done well with keeping his relationship out of the workplace. Other than a few nasty jokes here and there, he treated her the same as his other employees. Things got easier as time went on and Cuddy was actually surprised that he was able to compartmentalize.
The rest of the day was eventful, but it wasn't anything out of the ordinary when it came to being on a case with House. The patient was lied to and browbeaten into making the decision that eventually led to their diagnosis and subsequent cure.
House drove to her apartment after they had finished the case, he brought her a bouquet of flowers and a wrapped gift. He made his way up to the door and knocked, breath catching in his throat when he saw her.
Y/N had always dressed well, but seeing her fully made up always managed to take his breath away.
"You look hot," He said.
Y/N smiled, "Thank you," She replied.
"Got these for you," House said, holding out the bouquet to her.
"Aw, that's sweet. Just give me a minute to put them in some water and then we can go, okay?" Y/N asked, House nodded.
Y/N made her way into the kitchen, House stepped into her apartment and closed the door. He set the gift on the table next to the couch, moving over to the kitchen and watching Y/N as she trimmed the flowers.
Y/N placed the colorful flowers into the water before setting the vase in the center of her kitchen island.
"I know you like pink so I asked for whatever was the most pink," House stated.
"I love them. Thank you, Greg," Y/N smiled.
He nodded, "We should get going, got a reservation in twenty minutes," He said.
...
Dinner went off without a hitch, they had a few drinks and shared a dessert before House walked her back to his car. He opened the door for her, she thanked him as she slipped inside.
House nodded, closing the door behind her before moving around to the driver's side. He drove back to her apartment with the radio playing softly as they talked. House parked the car and walked her up to her apartment, standing behind her as she unlocked the door.
Y/N opened the door, the lights turned on suddenly before the large group of party guests yelled, "Surprise!"
Y/N turned to look at House, "Did you plan this?" She asked.
He nodded, "I know how crazy you are about birthdays so I told everyone to keep quiet about it until the party... Then you were moping around so much that I caved and got you the card," House said.
Y/N smiled, sliding her arms around him and giving him a hug, "Thank you," She mumbled.
He returned her embrace, "You're welcome... Now go enjoy your party," He said.
Y/N pulled away, stepping into her apartment with a happy smile. Everyone was there, including her parents that House flew to New Jersey for the occasion.
House settled himself on the couch with a drink as he watched his girlfriend interact with her friends and family. He knew that he was lucky to have her, but times like these just showed him exactly how lucky he was.
Y/N almost had too many friends to invite, everyone she had ever met fell in love with her and it baffled him.
How could a person be so magnetic to everyone around them without intending to be?
Y/N had no greater motivations, she was just genuinely happy and House wanted to be like that.
Y/N made her way over, sitting down on the couch beside House and crossing her legs, "You enjoying the party?" He asked.
"I am, but you're not," Y/N stated.
"I enjoy spending time with you, not a fan of the crowd," House said.
"Do you want to stay over tonight?" She questioned.
"You just want me to help you clean up this mess," House said, Y/N rolled her eyes with a smile.
"You're right, I only want you to stay over for your cleaning abilities. Not because I like you or anything," Y/N teased.
"I'll stay," House nodded.
"Good, I was hoping that you would," She replied.
"Since I managed to steal you away from your many adoring fans," He started, reaching over and grabbing the wrapped gift that he had left on the table.
House held it out to her, "Open it," He said.
Y/N took the gift from his hand, carefully tearing away the paper. She let out a soft gasp when she realized what it was, a pristine first edition copy of her favorite book.
"Where did you find this?" She asked softly.
"I've been looking around for a while," House said.
"House, this must've cost you a fortune," Y/N said, looking over the book and examining the details.
"You're worth every penny," He stated.
Y/N looked up at him, "You're a really sweet guy, House. Thank you," She said.
He nodded, "I should go introduce myself to your parents, learn what kind of craziness is in my future," House said.
"You go do that," Y/N said, pressing a gentle kiss to his cheek. House stood up from the couch, making his way over to Y/N's parents.
"Hi, I don't think we've met. I'm Gregory House," He said.
"I'm F/N and this is my wife, M/N. Thank you for inviting us," Y/N's father said.
"Yes, we really appreciate you flying us down to see her," M/N said.
"Of course, you're her parents and you should be here," House nodded.
"We've heard a lot about you, Doctor House," M/N said.
"Don't believe everything you hear... Unless they're good things, then they're completely true," House said.
M/N smiled, "Our daughter seems quite smitten with you and I can definitely see why," She said.
"I'm a lucky guy," House nodded, tapping his cane on the ground gently.
"I was actually hoping to get your blessing to ask her to marry me," House admitted.
Her mother smiled widely, looking over at her husband, "I just need to know one thing, Doctor House... Do you love her?" F/N asked.
"More than I've ever loved anything," House stated.
"Then of course, you have our blessing," F/N said, holding out his hand to House. He shook her father's hand with a small smile, knowing that he was about to make the best decision of his life.
...
Y/N woke up the next morning, eyes fluttering open to the bright sunlight filtering in through the window. Y/N turned onto her other side, realizing that the space beside her was unoccupied. House tended to have bouts of insomnia, but usually wound up in bed beside her before she woke up in the morning.
Y/N let out a soft sigh, eyes drifting over to the alarm clock on the nightstand.
"Oh, crap," She mumbled, climbing out of bed quickly and rushing into the bathroom when she realized that she was incredibly late for work.
Y/N brushed her teeth, combing her hair and pulling it up into a ponytail. Y/N made her way out of the bathroom, searching through her clothing quickly to find an outfit.
"Where's the fire?" House asked, making his way into the bedroom with a tray in his hands.
"I'm really late," Y/N mumbled shakily, trying to keep the panicked tears at bay.
"I called in for you and I already," House said.
"You did what?" Y/N asked, turning to face him.
"You and I are out sick for the day," He stated.
Y/N let out a huff, her shoulders sinking as she looked at him, "Why didn't you tell me?" She asked.
"You were asleep," He shrugged, "Get back in bed, I made breakfast," He said.
Y/N shuffled over to the bed, climbing under the blankets and settling on the mattress with her back against the headboard.
House placed the tray over her lap, "I thought I had a bit more time before you woke up in a panic," He said, moving around the bed and getting in beside her.
Y/N huffed, "You almost gave me a heart attack," She said.
"My bad... I hope that the chocolate chip pancakes and bacon I made will fix it," He said.
"It might," Y/N replied. She shared her meal with House, sipping on her coffee while he watched her.
"I have a question for you," He said, she looked over at him.
House slipped a hand into the pocket of his pyjama pants and pulled out the small velvet box. He flipped the lid open with his thumb before holding it out in front of her. Y/N's eyes widened, gaze flickering between the ring and House.
"Will you marry me?" He asked.
"I'm sorry, what?" Y/N mumbled quietly, House smiled.
House let out a soft laugh, hand dropping onto the bed, "Did you not understand the question?" He asked.
"No... I-I don't know," Y/N said softly.
"I'm gonna ask again, alright?" House questioned, she nodded.
"Will you marry me?" He asked.
"Did you ask my dad?" Y/N questioned.
"I don't want to marry your dad, I want to marry you," House stated, smile widening.
"No, did you ask him for his blessing?" Y/N asked.
"Of course I did and he said yes. Now, I'm gonna ask you for the third time and I need you to focus because asking four times would be humiliating, alright?" House said.
"I'm sorry, I just- I wasn't ready," Y/N said, her cheeks flushing.
"Will you marry me?" House asked.
"Yes," Y/N replied, a wide smile breaking out across her face.
"Finally! My god, I was starting to think that I'd never get an answer," House said.
Y/N cupped his cheeks, pressing her lips to his in a gentle kiss. She pulled away and House took her left hand into his, plucking the ring from the box and sliding it onto her finger.
Y/N smiled as she looked down at it, "It's beautiful, House," She said.
"Wilson helped me pick it out. He's got a lot of experience with ring shopping," House said.
"Well, I love it, it's perfect," Y/N assured.
"I'm glad you like it... Happy birthday, Y/N," He said.
