Deadpool x reader

Gn!reader,him gaining a crush on ya

He tries not to believe it. Is there even a scenario where you would love him back?

He tries his best to push these feelings away. But he just can't help it, i mean why you gotta be so beautiful and kind to him and your voice, gosh- but the more he tries getting his mind off you the more it hurts. Especially if he goes to drink at a bar and gets so drunk he ends up with someone next to him in the morning.

So instead he lets his obsession grew.

Oh you're shopping? He just happens to be there too! Don't question it, he'll start yapping and drags you with himself.

He invites you over more than usual. You wanna watch a movie? Play games? If he wins he gets a kiss- whoa what,who said that?

He'll wanna have sleepovers. Throw pillow fights and no he won't sleep on the floor, make some space for him. Incase you don't tell him to sleep on the couch he'll totally not creepily stare at you as you sleep. Sure he'll fall asleep,,eventually.

He gives you tiny hints that he loves you. But of course you won't really catch them, after all he acts freaky with everyone.

And by flirting i mean, putting a hand around your shoulder. Telling you that you are gorgeous and calling you nicknames. Showing you a heart with his hands and so much more.

If you let him he would love to hug you every now and then. Tho his hugs get longer and longer the more you let him closer to you.

Speaking of which, he'll let you see his face and know more about his past only after a longer time.

But even then, when he took off his mask and expected a disgusted look or a mean comment, you just smiled at him and reassured that he is beautiful inside and out. Can you be any more charming? He just fall head over heals all over again.

You laugh at his jokes and think hes cool? He is wordless.

He will try to kiss you through his mask and will do it if you don't push him away. "Smooch me!"

Sometimes he stares at you with out noticing.

His room is full of stuff that you gifted to him and photos of you (where he got it? Oh don't worry about it..)

And if you happen to be a hero/etc, he will have a plush and other merch of you around.

He'll even give you a mini version of himself. To keep you safe he says.

He loves to be around you and is overly affectionate.

He squishez his eyes into a smile upon seeing you. He'll wave at you and everything.

He'll draw you silly pictures (mostly the two of you holding hands and being lovey-dovey)

He also leaves you flowers.

If you say nice things to him it'll blow his mind. By nice i mean stuff like "You are cute!" Or "You're the best!". Yeah you really think so? His heart feels like its beating stronger.

He speaks before thinking rather often. He lets his stranger thoughts out. Such thoughts like "You're so hot". He stares wide eyed at you after. Then comes the awkward laugh, just laugh with him please.

Anyways get used to it cuz he'll make your life a living hell, or maybe heaven?

He would ask you to move into an apartment with him, and he won't stop asking that question. Wouldn't it be less lonely and more fun to have a roommate?

He just can't come up with a way to confess..maybe the job will do it itself? No Yes,yes it will Wade don't worry.

HOWDY!!🌟🌟 I haven't been active on Tumblr for a long time, to be honest I haven't been active on any platform until recently.

I think it would be right to make a small update and let my followers know what's on my mind.

(And a little note, I am writing this article from a translation. If there is a mistake in any sentence or if it sounds rude, I sincerely apologize.)

First of all, I would like to talk about why I am  less active than before.

I don't want to go into too much detail about it, so I'll keep it short, and it'll be easier for you too!

I have a disease that worsens with stress, and I can say that this disease has leveled up because I have been stressed a lot lately due to some events.Now, for no reason or if I put too much pressure on that arm area my joints and arm start to ache. This means I can't draw for 2-3 days.In general, it means that I try not to use my arm too much.

But don't worry, thanks to my doctor I'm getting better quickly and I don't have as much ache anymore, much less! Almost gone now!!🌟🌟🌟🎉

And besides these, I was trying to get accepted to the university, but I learned that my drawing skills were not enough for the animation university!( I knew this actually, my anatomy is really bad but I wanted to try my luck) It's a little sad, but I'm not discouraged!🫡

 (I think my only regret was that my arm started to hurt in the middle of the exam after I had come such a long way. Why on earth would anyone make two one and a half hour art exams back to back??) Show some mercy to the students!!)😭😭

༼⁠;⁠´⁠༎ຶ⁠ ⁠۝ ⁠༎ຶ⁠༽

I just need to focus on more art skills  and I will do that!! From now on, I will focus only on improving myself and my arts! YIPPE!!

About  HH SS AU or My's OC development

It saddens me to say this, but even though I've been drawing in the HazbinHotel fandom for months, I've lost my inspiration at the moment.I probably won't be able to share any content about HazbinHotel until I regain my inspiration because I can't think of an idea or get excited about series anymore.But of course this is a temporary thing, my fandom had faded before but then it blossomed again!!

This is valid for SSAU as well, I don't have any inspiration to develop AU or draw for AU right now. 

And thank you very much to my followers who have liked and supported my HazbinHotel content so far!!!

Same goes for my OCs, I'm putting my OCs like Constantine and Serenity and the archangels on the shelf for now.Of course I will use them again in the future when I get inspired about them again, I love my babies!

About SSAU inspired fanfics Thank you again for loving this AU and for being inspired to write your own fanfic!!!

It makes me really happy to see you having fun And it makes me proud to see that I inspire people!! 

But from now on I don't prefer to use my HH OCs to write Fanfics,There are a few reasons for this but the main one is that I can't give you much feedback anymore and I wanted you to know that and I really don't want to upset or disappoint anyone when it comes to feedback.

Of course the fics about SSAU that have been written so far can continue, I have no problems with them, have fun!! I just want you to know I won't be able to give feedback  to you, or it will take a long time 

 This is of course temporary, I will let you know when I return to this fandom or change my mind about this!!

Some people ask about YouTube, I don't plan on posting any content on YouTube anytime soon.

Thank you in advance for respecting my opinions!

In short, yes, these are what I was going to say. It can be said that I have switched to the Gravity Falls fandom at the moment and I am sort of making my childhood dream come true by giving fanart to this fandom.And this is something that makes me very happy. 

Good morning, and in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!

CARMEN SANDIEGO? In 2024? It's more likely thank you think! Please excuse the shit quality for some reason I wasn't allowed to upload the normal pdf and I had to upload a fucking screenshot???

So my friend convinced me to watch Carmen Sandiego and since he's watching ALL of Ninjago for me I thought it was the least I could do to watch four season of a show with a pretty decent concept but uh... yeesh, don't get me wrong the show is really fun but lord have mercy does it have problems especially the last two seasons which were just so wildly disappointing to me. It went from a show with an interesting look on morals to pure pro-cop and mostly black and white thinking so quick (that not mentioning the breaking up a found family full of people with abandonment issues) it was honestly just so disappointing so me and the friend who introduced it to me decided to rewrite it! (I will not be animating nor do I plan on doing more than MAYBE a comic or art piece here and there because my chronic pain ridden ass can not handle that much lol)

The main goals are to:

1) Flesh out characters that aren't Carmen and actually give them reactions based on their lived experiences and how they might realistically react instead of what the show needed to move the plot along

2) Having characters other than Carmen be actually relevant to the plot the main one being Chase Devineaux who we're gonna kind of have as a parallel to Carmen (trust me yall) as kind of a "What if Carmen didn't have her friends/family to ground her and fall back on" but for all the Chase fans out there (gods I hope there's some other than me) he will be getting a happy ending but bro is getting put through the RINGER first

3) Have both A.C.M.E (now standing for Administration for Containing and Monitoring Evil) and V.I.L.E be the bad guys. Also just as an extra bit of fun we're making VILE a full blown cult, they were very cult like in the show so we're just gonna make it one. Both are going to be very morally questionable and while it'll take a bit longer for ACME to show it's true colors don't you worry they definitely will ;)

4) We're doing canonical lgbtq+ rep, I know the show teased a lot of relationships and really only gave yall background gays not to say thats bad but we can do better than just a brief shot of a damn taco truck. I mean like come on in a story about a young woman going against the government for the greater good why not put some rep into it ya know!

5) We're making it light sci-fi, not like SUPER high tech but definitely beyond what we've got currently, as shown with Carmen's prosthetic, and don't worry I'm doing my research as a disabled person I know how it feels to be misrepresented or ignored so I want to make sure I'm being realistic

6) PLAYER ISN'T GOING TO BE A CHILD! I don't know if this bothered anybody else but to me it was really weird that this 16 year old's only friends were in their 20s!

Alright I think that's what I'm gonna say for now, I'd love it if yall tuned in for updates if your curious since this is a passion project for me and my friend and we're having a blast writing it!

As always I am still working on stuff for Ninjago cause I could never abandon my one true love, currently there's a Pixal drawing in progress (it's giving me hell T-T) something for Cole and Geo, and something of Sora MAYBE even Euphrasia if I'm feeling up to it.

Having said that I hope yall have a great day/night and PEACE OUT!

Caine’s Lesson - Part 7

•

Gummigoo wasn't kidding when he said his Ma's food was good. Caine's food from that one evening after the gloinks couldn't compare. It was full of so much more flavour and taste.

"Penny for your thoughts, Poms?" Grinned Gummigoo, coming to sit across from her with his own bowl.

"You weren't kidding when you said it was good-" Mused Pomni, sheepishly.

He chuckled at such.

"We don't lie round these parts Poms, you'll learn that quick if you stick with us."

"I-It'll be fun to see!" Smiled Pomni, shyly with a hum. "So... When do you wanna do the uh shooting practice?"

"Ah yeah! I figured once we've eaten, I'll speak to Ma real quick and then we can get started! Sound good to you?"

"T-That sounds good to me-"

"Snazzy."

The two continued to eat happily with occasional words of conversation, mostly happy to just exist aside one another.

It was the peace Pomni had been wanting for the last few days.

It was the peace Gummigoo hadn't known he'd needed for the last few weeks.

The pair were soon headed over to a little clearing by the main ranch house. It was surrounded by fencing and had a few shabby targets nailed together at the end.

"Welcome to Pa's shooting range, Poms." Grinned Gummigoo. "This is where I learned to shoot, and now it's where you'll learn too!"

"I-I'm excited to learn!" Beamed Pomni, sheepishly.

"I'm glad to hear that! Now come stand here."

Pomni moved to stand in front of the mark. She looked up and saw she was stood inline with the centre target.

"First, we'll work on accuracy!"

He moved to stand behind her and crouched down. He tenderly placed his pistol into her hands, making sure to position her hands on the right position.

"Now, this is how you hold ya pistol! Try to hold it like this as much as you can, otherwise the force back from after you shoot can hurt ya hand. And you don't wanna do that, trust me, I learnt from experience."

"N-Noted! Hold the gun safely- As much as you can-"

He hummed at this approvingly with a nod. "Now, what you wanna do is line up this little eye piece right about here on the target."

He slowly moved her aim into position.

"You would think to aim here, right? Well, these bad boys are different! Pa made em on an angle, so wild shots have a higher chance of being accurate. Does mean however that every casual shot you take is gotta be on an angle."

“Right..” Nodded Pomni, slowly.

“Now all you gotta do is click here.” He hummed softly, guiding her hand with his atop it to the trigger.

*Bang!*

Pomni had successfully shot a gun!

“I did it!” She grinned, looking up to Gummigoo.

“You sure did Pommy!” He hummed, returning the grin. “You were so close to a bullseye but hey, practice makes perfect, aye?”

“Definitely!”

He helped her take a few more shots, only sitting back to watch when Pomni felt confident enough to shoot on her own. She was picking up the skill amazingly fast! It was natural talent Gummigoo hadn’t seen in a while- He most definitely would have to talk to Ma about making Poms her own gun. He watched the way she’d flinch back a little from the force of his gun. If she had one accustomed to her, he had a hunch she’d be shooting better than Max and Chad in no time!

Ma was awfully busy though with all the Candy Kingdom Citizens, so he figured he might as well take some time in the next evening to make Pomni a gun! That way she would be well equipped to join himself, Max and Chad on scouting adventures.

So, that’s what he set off to do! Leaving Poms to her practice.

•

Zooble was sat watching Gangle draw in her notebook when Kinger and Ragatha came over.

“H-Hi you guys!” Squeaked Gangle, softly in her usual tone.

“Hey.” Nodded Gangle.

“Hello!” Smiled Ragatha, gently. “Is it okay if we join you? Kinger thought it may be a good idea if I hung out with you guys for a bit to try and get my mind off Pomni-“

“O-Oh sure!” Nodded Gangle.

The two sat down.

A content silence fell over the group, the only sound being the scratch of Gangle’s pencil. After a few minutes work, she ripped out a page and handed it out to Ragatha.

“I-I know you’re sad about Pomni s-so I figured I might do you a drawing of her so it feels like she’s still with you!” She explained, sheepishly.

Ragatha was quiet for a few minutes looking over the sketch of her with Pomni.

“…GANGLE THIS IS SO SWEET OF YOU-“

Gangle squeaked as she was pulled into a crushing hug by Ragatha, her happy mask flung off but was caught by Zooble luckily.

“Gosh! I’ll have to make you something in return- This is to perfect Gangle!” Beamed Ragatha.

“O-Oh! Alright-“ Smiled Gangle, sheepishly as Zooble gently placed her happy mask back onto her face.

“You tell me what you want and I’ll get on it! Or I can make it a surprise-“

“A surprise could be fun-“ Murmured Gangle, shyly.

“A surprise it is then!”

Zooble put an assuring arm around Gangle sensing her growing anxiety from being overwhelmed by Ragatha’s sudden excitement.

Things weren’t perfect right now, but at least they had each other!

Part 8

[xmen-xtraordinary-daycare]

⊗ We're still active!!! (And other announcements!!!) ⊗

Hey gang, Jubilee here coming at ya to say "sorry we've been inactive for months"!!! So yeah- Sorry we've been inactive for months... But we're back I promise!!!!! And I've got some ideas on how to make this blog even more fun and interesting and cool!!! (At least I hope it'll be fun and interesting and cool... ^_^)

First off, drawings!!! I think this blog needs some drawings- Let me explain!!! Sure, responding to your asks through text is fine and all... But wouldn't it be fun to actually see what we're doing/saying??? Because I think it would be!!! I'm no artist, so they'd probably just be quick doodles... But it's pictures and I love pictures and you probably love pictures and yayyy everyone loves pictures!!!! I think!!!

Second, games!!! Like, fun activities and such like word searches, some "choose your own adventure" games, some fun quizzes/trivia, etc etc!!! Just like fun little games y'know??? If anyone else has some ideas for activities like these, let us know!!! Me and the other X-Men wanna make this blog a fun space for everyone!!!

And uh... That's it!!! I thought I had more ideas but it's just those two!!! We're always open to more ideas, so if you've got one, send it our way!!! This is Jubilee, signing off, and telling you to have an Xtraordinary day/night!!! (See what I did there?? XD)

[pocket-watcher]

ugh, i have an idea that sounds really good in my head but im worried it'll sound cringe on paper...

so sub who has a comfort video game for the reason that they're hopelessly in love with one of the characters

favorite character somehow notices sub's feelings from their side of the fourth wall, trances them, and pulls them into the game world

(bonus points if both sub and fave character!dom are both fem)

》 @/seraphim-in-the-matrix

Please never be worried about cringe. Being cringe is to be human!!!

I’m sure I can deliver on this! Here ya go:

My PC whirred to life as I fit my pink headphones over my ears.

Finally, I thought to myself. No chores, no work, I finally get to just sit here and play.

My cursor hovered over the icon. I mentally checked I had a drink, some snacks, and that my phone was on silent.

I booted up the game.

The screen whirred to life, with bright colours, and there she was on the title screen.

Okay, so she might not be the main character, but she still was so lovely. Her sultry eyes, her outfit, it was perfect.

Or… would’ve been, if she was real. But I pushed that out of my mind and loaded into my current save.

“Welcome back, Kylie! 💕” the text read, her avatar bobbing up and down, her giant blonde curls landing a second after her body. I smiled at the screen, fiddling with my braids for a second.

I clicked through as the characters flitted their day to day, waiting to see her again. Of course, I’d played through about 60 times, so I knew exactly where to focus my attention.

“Oh! You’re here!” She said. Her avatar no longer in her regular outfit but I’n a more relaxed one reserved for her home scenes.

She looked so cute in her sweats and with her hair up. This was the baking portion of the game.

I was just about to start the mini game when my phone pinged. I thought it was on silent?! I picked it up, annoyed at the disruption when -

“Holy shit.”

I read and reread the notification again and again. They were making a sequel?!

I read the article three times to ensure I digested all the information possible.

“Uh, Kylie?” The text prompter read, her avatar now in a more curious pose than her usual excitable one.

That was weird. I’d never seen that pose before, but then again I don’t think I’d ever waited this long on one of her text screens before.

I turned my attention back to the article to ensure I hadn’t missed some mention of her character in the sequel.

“Kylie!” The text prompted flashed again. She was getting annoyed now, so cute in her little pose. I took a moment staring at the screen. Was this a new update?

That was when the screen glitched for a second. Bright colours filled the room.

I clicked to try and start the mini game. Nothing.

“Now do I have your attention?” The text read.

And another flash. I blinked, caught off guard.

I hit my computer, trying to fix the screen error.

That was when the flashing lingered.

Bright colours flashed in quick succession. Words I couldn’t quite read in time were hidden in there. I leaned in closer, cocking my head. Did I break the game?

It seemed to draw me in… I felt my head growing heavy - maybe it was just my headphones. I noticed my mouth was hanging open. It was then I started to process some of the text amongst the flashing lights.

“You’re doing so well!”

“I know you want me.”

“You’re mine.”

“Don’t you want to join me?”

“It would feel so nice to obey.”

My thoughts were at a standstill. Bring replaced by the flashing words and lights. The music was getting louder. My body felt like pins and needles.

And then it all stopped.

I looked around, no longer in my room, and big blonde curls filling my blurred vision.

“I can’t believe it worked!” She helped me up, steadying me as I swayed from lightheadedness.

“Come on, Kylie! This is going to be so much fun!!”

[ssa-atlas-alvez]

This is just like a little head cannon that I got rolling around (we just had a huge down pour so that’s probably why) but I feel like Cowboy!Reader really likes rain/thunder and the smell of rain, you know?

Description: It's raining, and reader can't help but feel connected with the earth. Ever the romantic, this particular type of weather leads to more discussions of feelings. Takes place quite some time after 'Sick' and 'Dates' but you guys dont know about dates yet. I've not written it yet but it happens before this.

Warnings: rain, thunder, lightning, that's it this one is happy feelings, bit cliche but ya know I enjoyed writing it aha

"What are you doing?" JJ asks, sitting down next to you in the break room.

"Hm?" You turn away from the window and towards her. "Oh, just watchin' the rain,"

"Why?"

"'S peaceful, don't have to think of anythin' else, just watch the rain, hear the rain, smell the rain," You said with a shrug, a bright flash of lightning followed by the load crack of thunder drawing you back to the window as you smile. "Imma go stand outside,"

"In this weather?!" JJ turned to you, "It's pouring!"

You turned to her with a grin, "I know, come on- it'll be fun!" With that, you grab her hand, ignoring the looks from your coworkers and take her outside.

When you make it outside, your smile turns into a grin as you let the rain soak your hair and face. You feel your body relax as you listen to the earth, how the wind howls, how the rain falls, you listen to the thunder. You see the lightning flash as it lights up through your eyelids. You draw in a deep breath, taking in the smell of rain. You take in the moment before you open your eyes.

You watch as she tilts her head back, letting the rain fall on her face. You couldn't help but realise how beautiful she is, even as she stood there, slowly beginning to get soaked by the rain, she is beautiful. It was then it clicked. Your previous arrangements of ignoring your feelings, of moving on were not going to work. There was no one else you wanted to be with but her. You loved her with every fibre in your body. You did want to be with anyone else. You'd rather never be with someone again than pretend it wasn't her, that it wouldn't always be her. You would rather be alone for the rest of your life than have to pretend you didn't love her.

"You know what I said when I had the flu?" You looked down, finding yourself smiling.

JJ raised an eyebrow, "So you're finally admitting you were ill?"

"Yes. But you remember what I said?" When she nods hesitantly, you continue, "About how I feel? It's- It's still there, I can't stop thinkin' about you, everythin' reminds me of you, I can't- I love you. So much, it physically hurts. I wanna be the one that makes you smile, that makes you laugh, that makes you blush. N I know we both said we wouldn't do anythin' 'cause of work but I don't think I'll get over you, I think you're the only one I'll ever wanna be with."

JJ looks up at you with a small smile, "I was beginning to lose hope you'd ever say that,"

Your shoulders instantly relax and you step closer to her, desperate to close the gap between you but not wanting to push it. "May I kiss you?"

"God yes." She breathes out and you gently lift your hand to her cheek, ignoring the buzzing of other people around you. It was just you two. Nothing else and no one else mattered.

"I love you." You mumbled before connecting your lips once more.

"I love you too,"

"I think I love you more,"

She shook her head, "Not possible."

When you parted, both practically gasping for breath, you gave her a smile. "I want to shout it from the rooftops."

"You're so cheesy," JJ rolled her eyes with a smile. "Maybe we should keep this from the team, for a little while?"

You nod, "As much as I want to tell everyone, I agree."

"To our secret love affair," JJ said mischievously as she held up her pinky finger. You interlock it with yours.

"To our love affair."

"Secret love affair."

"Okay, okay, secret love affair," And with that and fingers still interlocked, you sealed it with a kiss.

Unhinged Azure Gleam RW ideas

Alright, FE3H musing time again.

I've been floating a bunch of ideas for a hypothetical rewrite of Azure Gleam. Trying to summarise it in neat paragraph is proving harder for me than I thought it would so I'll just bullet-point drop all the ideas I had in rough chronological order:

Keeping a big focus on Dimitri's viewpoint of "Reform Over Revolution". In the official game, this is brought up a few times early on but basically dropped just as soon as the Western Lords arc wraps and the mindcontrol nonsense begins.

Cleobulus is the end villain, usurping Thales as leader of the Agarthans. Her tactics end up being much more chaotic and violent but with a greater cost to TWSITD's numbers. Odesse would act as her version of Myson, Kronya would also be given a bit more prominence (cuz who doesn't wanna see Agarthan Girlies having a bit of fun?)

In keeping with this, I really want to explore the idea of Dimitri and Edelgard forming a truce to take down TWSITD. It'll take some contriveances admittedly, but hear me out.

I'd keep Part 1's layout and premise roughly the same but with a lot of specifics changed. I’m juggling whether to keep Rufus alive for longer, or to just make Kleinman more prominent later on in his place.

The Western Lords are given more explanation of their motives for betraying Lambert, the specifics of his supposed reforms are explored more instead of just aluded to. Even if its a retread of the case with Ionius and the Insurrection of the Seven, that'd be better than the complete nothingness we get of it in the final game par Viscount Elidure's one line about the subject.

Rather than dying in Elidure’s territory like she does in the official route, Cleobulus retreats to Arianrhod where a three-way battle between in the invading Empire led by Edelgard, the remnants of the Western Lords (represented primarily by Count Rowe here, still being kept on a leash by Cleobulus) and Dimitri’s pursuing forces ensues.

The Western Coalition would be snuffed out here, with them no longer of use to her Cleobulus finally ditches her Cornelia skinsuit.

During the fighting Edelgard is badly wounded, prompting Thales to try his "mind-control" ploy from the official game (or maybe he's just going for the kill here, whatever works best). He is stopped by Hubert, who is mortally wounded in a vicious exchange covering Edelgard and the Empire's retreat. This would effectively be a mirror of Ingrid's death in Scarlet Blaze, but with a much bigger impact on the Empire's military capabilities.

Thales himself is badly injured and warps away, leaving him exhausted. Cleobulus uses this as an oppurtunity to finish the old man off and claim leadership of the Agarthans.

From here the Empire is left to lick its wounds, as a much more violent version of Ludwig's attempted coup from Scarlet Blaze occurs. Likewise the Kingdom is suddenly hit with more Slithery nonsense as Dimitri tries to recover following the Western Coalition's sabotage.

That's roughly where I got to, but I do have a few more ideas that I'm not sure where to fit/or if they'd work but here we go:

Rhea is pretty much a non-presence in Azure Gleam as is, apart from popping up for expo at a few points she doesn't really do much for the majority of it. I'm floating the idea of her being kidnapped by Cleobulus during Part 2 with the intent of bodysnatching her/using her blood for Slithery reasons. There's a risk with this tho in that I'd basically be changing the Route Damsel from Edelgard to Rhea. That said I do think Rhea needs to be moved out of the way for the potential truce to even remotely work.

Claude's the odd factor here as I'm not sure how exactly I wanna have him play out here. Both of Dimitri's routes handle the Alliance quite lazily imo as both times they end up siding with him, granted AG doesn't just have Claude give the entire faction to him but still.

Thats all I can muster typing up atm. I'll leave ya with a cool drawing of Cleobulus holding Thales' cut sword just to convey the idea of an Agarthan Girlboss end-villain (credit to @card-queen for the art). Please feel free to poke holes in my ideas or offer any suggestions of your own for this silliness.

movie night! [+ ao3 link]

monty/reader , word count 1,300

The one where Monty watches a horror movie with you. ... Gators like horror movies, right?

The gentle thrum of the cheap projector is occasionally cut by even scratchier audio quality. An impulsive purchase from the local thrift store, and quickly attached to it in all its mediocre glory. 

Sneaking personal items into the 'Plex hadn't ever been much trouble, but sneaking yourself in here after hours tended to be. 

Overtime unwelcomed, but as if you weren't excitable to the prospect of cheap Fazco candy and hanging with a pal. 

Couldn't convince him to wear a costume though. Scowling briefly to the suggestion. 

Casting still dawned with neon vibrant hues, some crackles in the white skeleton adjacent paint along his arms. 

For someone who seemed so adverse on gimmicky holidays, Monty sure seemed to enjoy it. Leaning more toward the trick part of trick or treat. Unsure if it's a good or sorrowful thing he can't be out roaming the midnight streets terrorizing people. 

Though, given the option, it's difficult to believe he would anyway. Who knows! 

A offhand remark on he's as scary to you as the girl from the Exorcist, only taking some back and forth before pinning his frustrations on why you're calling him weak and feeble. 

"You haven't see it, have you?" 

"Tck. If it ain't made by Fazco, then no." 

Covering the irritated flick of his tail with a sharp pathway around you. Directly into some old freaky storage room. 

Not much needed to add heart palpitating ambience, you'd both need it to stay conscious through all the dreary talking bits. 

The visual effects for the time were endearingly unsettling, but you just never could take ghoulish possession stories all that seriously. The spooks lingered around every dark ridden corridor of the 'Plex had ruined the fun quite some time ago.

The appetite for indulgent horror had for sure dwindled when you lived through it. 

Tossing popcorn in your mouth from the pile you've collected in your hand. Noting each and every time you reach for more, Monty's gripping the fabric of the sofa tighter, and tighter. 

The final time you claw your hand for another handful of buttery popcorn, his sprawled out claws had begun to splinter the fabric of the sofa. 

... He's so bored, he's going to shred the thing before the movie finishes. Shame too, guess he's even programmed to revolt entertainment not surrounding the 'Plex. 

Eventually, wide red eyes flicker to your peeping direction. Unrelenting on the staring, you just continue eating popcorn.

"Sorry dude, didn't think it sucked this bad." You say, watching his posture relax some. Claws still indented in the sofa though. 

"I'll turn it off." Immediately beginning to search for your phone. 

"... What? Think I can't handle watching some cheap ol' movie?" He scowls. Flopping back to slump against the sofa. "Seen worse. Heard worse."

"Have you now." You quip. “Prove it.” 

One hand reaching into the popcorn bucket, crumbling some of the pieces as he tosses them directly at your face. 

Opening your mouth as some of them do made it in. Most of them just hit the bridge of your nose though. 

Too busy laughing as your lamely impressive skills draw his attention, attempting to toss more into your mouth. He can hit cheap point shots and arcade high scores with uncanny ease. 

Entirely purposeful the way he just carelessly flicks a few pieces at once in random directions to watch the struggle. Stubbornly trying to contort the best you can. 

It's not until he slices a pack of sour gummy worms open that you protest his nonsense. "Do not! I'll literally eat those off the floor if they fall and get sick." 

"Psh," He huffs, nudging your upper arm. "Even just one would make ya hurl? Floors ain't that bad."

"I'll get sick and die dead and it'll be all your fault." You insist, stupidly warmed to your dramatics cracking through that demeanour of his.

But Monty drops the one in hand anyway, drops one right on the floor with a full blown shutter. Like a monster trailed it's cold incorporeal fingertips up and up his spine. Expression blown wide to match. 

Sometimes. Your friends did things you didn't understand, evasive to things that were mostly normal. Monty didn't like closed spaces. He did not like the bowling alley

Dude, is the word that almost ghosts past your lips. The one that dances to be said on the very tip of your tongue. 

The grainy output of the projector catches your attention first. You'd recognize the scene anywhere, you recognize the frame. 

It had been a jump scare. Cheap and tactical for the time period. One that never settled that eerie uncomfortable dread in your chest the way it was supposed to. 

Wide eyed gaze darting back to the Gator.

And he's stressed. He's so freaked out the entirety of his claws are out. 

And you. Are a raging asshole. 

"Wanna turn it off? Kinda boring." You shrug, not bothering to hide the sheer amusement a horror movie from the 70's is what's got him so damn rattled.

" No ." He scowls, whipping his frame so roughly back to face the screen it shakes the sofa, knocks a couple popcorn kernels out of the bowl. "Scared? Thought ya said this was boring. Why you wanna turn it off so bad, punk." 

Swatting a hand over to give you a little shove. Doing in back wouldn't do much good, besides. He'd have to push you so much harder to wipe the triumphant grin from your face. 

Montgomery Gator is scared of at least one beloved horror film. 

You'll keep such a secret tucked tenderly to your chest, much to his gruff and tuff dismay. 

"Maybe." Turning back to the movie yourself, a small smarmy hum following. "Maybe it is a little scary."

Silently shifting the snacks barricading the two of you off to the side. Wordless offer of solace should he want it. Pretending he'd just been drumming his fingertips atop the armrest instead of shredding it. 

It had been awhile since you'd watched the movie in full, much less never tucked away inside a closet decorated with cobwebs. Finding yourself shifting closer.

Discovering you really hadn't needed to shuffle all that far. Your legs tucked up on the surface bumping against his thigh. 

The next scare that you'd already known was coming, still has you jumping alongside Monty. Despite his stature, manages to curl himself around you, practically eased into your lap.

It's so ridiculous you try and fail to stifle your laughter, winding your arms around his shoulder. He hunches further down to evade your gaze. 

"Shut up, shut up. Only watchin' this 'cause you wanted to so damn bad! I ain't scared!" He grumbles, wobbly and dishevelled. 

Apologizing in strings of words to cushion the sting of giggling yourself stupid. You'd seen Moon crawl down all tangled from ceiling beams, and it had been the visual of a human person that freaked him out so bad. 

Strange. 

Giving his upper arm a squeeze, very well knowing the ticking time bomb of well deserved frustration would keep stirring in your lap, until you'd inevitably end up shoved face first on the ground. 

"... You really aren't scared'a that?" He huffs. Resting his head oh so subtly on your shoulder. A little awkward, but you'd take it. "Somethin' wrong with you. More than the usual." 

"Oh something is. Something is for sure." You muse. Leaning further back against the sofa.  "We can turn it off now, if you want. Doesn't get much better than this." 

"Maybe." He relents. "Depends. What else happens? Everyone else get possessed by demons too?" 

"Naah. That'd be a pretty good twist though. Demon infects everyone else, couldn't even imagine how terrible that'd be." 

"... Yeah." Monty parts your frame with a pat to your thigh. Kneeling up to turn the projector off himself. "Terrible." 

The lens flickers off with a faint click.

Beta Huntlow Headcanons

*in the "start of season 3" phase, human realm, same house and shared traumas

The two would both have the vibe "it's hard to tell if they applied eyeliner or just have dark circles under their eyes", two people who sleep late (WHEN they sleep) and wake up very early. I like to imagine them being the last ones in the house awake and arguing that the other one should go sleep, little hypocrites more concerned with the health of others than with their own

They study wild magic together and test glyphs and techniques on each other cause they need testing to learn, so it's a controlled and platonic fight (visualize, just VISUALIZE a "parallel" of Lumity scene of the Grom dance but it's Huntlow just having fun being chaotic among magic explosions OR putting into practice what they trained against some unlucky)

"You have problems with authorities and rules too? Woah, we have so much in common..." they took the expression partners in crime a little too seriously 😰 a common dialogue would be "do ya wanna rob a store today?" and the other responds "we already did that yesterday, I wanna get out of routine, let's try a bank?" not ironically

For RPG people, I think the moral alignments of them would be in the Neutral spectrum, maybe him as Lawful Neutral and she as True Neutral, I'm indecisive, maybe both Chaotic Neutral????

Aaaand for astrological people I think they would be a Virgo and a Scorpio... I just don't know who would be which lol

These two have a hospital drama/police investigation series that they watch together and they're really into it, It's TREASON to watch one episode without the other

Sometimes they pretend to be a couple to strangers 'cause they think it's so funny, and they tend to do this a lot since they hang out together frequently

Arm wrestling? Just an excuse for them to hold hands!!!! But when they start competing in anything a third person (usually Gus) has to step in to stop them from overdo. It's not about winning, it's about making the other admit defeat

There's frequent romantic tension in moments that were theoretically supposed to be threatening and it's frustrating how many times they come close to kissing but interruptions at the wrong time get in the way, that old cliché

Talking about ✨love language✨: Willow offers is acts of service and what she likes to receive/share is quality time. Hunter's love language offered is giving gifts and what he likes to receive are words of affirmation. Then it happens like:

"hey, Will! to thank you for yesterday I bought – nah, I stole – to you... industrialized cookies that you like..!"

"don't call me- wait, cookies? huh, you're the best dork ever, let's eat that while watching TV?"

"yeah, of course, let's see some tragedies in the news, it'll be fun... by the way, am I really 'the best dork'? cuz I'll brag about it later"

*plus that they are often in physical contact, without realizing it cause they are simply used to

*the headcanon OF the headcanon is that Hunter has a shirt that says "best dork" and maybe I wanna draw this a lot

I love them help me

Insanely basic tips for writing fights:

So... You wanna throw some characters at other characters and tell them to kill each other, huh? Well, in order to make all that interesting, ya gotta consider these tips first.

1. I've been in martial arts for over six years and animation for just as long. So of course I'm going to suggest you plebs do a little research first. Wanna know how it feels to punch someone? Punch someone. Wanna know how it feels to get punched? Come over to my place.

Even learning simple stuff like rolls, stretches, differing exercises, and the most basic of techniques can help out a ton. At the very least, it'll keep people from making this face at you: ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ

You don't have to go all out like me, but at least learning the fundamentals of physics and how certain injuries will affect the fight can help. Take these fun little tip for example: there's a vein on the neck that, when hit properly, will make you instantly pass out. It only takes eight seconds to choke someone out to the point of fainting as long as you're holding them right..and if you keep it up, then just wait five minutes and they'll be dead. Anywhere in-between can give them serious head injuries they'll likely never recover from. There are a thousand more, but I'll stop there. Trust me. I've learned more about biology from karate than from actual Biology class.

2. I feel like this is also a given, but at the very least, know what your surroundings are. Find ways to implement the setting into the fight creatively.

Example: two people are fighting in the desert and one tosses sand into the other's eyes. Or, two people are fighting in that same desert, but the one currently losing is being shoved into the sand, choked alive by all the granules.

Also please remember that when your characters are in extreme heat or freezing settings, they will fight differently. Maybe it's even the setting itself that is slowly killing the fighters, and the battle is really all about who can last the longest.

At the very least, I'd suggest you do two things in case you have a hard time with this one. (1) gather images of the setting, or at least settings like it. Then, take note of all the elements, obstacles, and even ambiance involved. (2) pick out objects to scatter about the setting that your characters can later pick up and use in the fight. Just make sure they have to do with the setting.

3. The destination of the fight can greatly impact the "vibe."

In the sky: superman level fights, typically very grandiose, larger than life, and impressive (even if written realistically). These are great locations for if/when you're trying to make your character look cool in some way.

On top of buildings/canyons: similarly grand but with more emphasis on stakes. You typically want that sense of uneasiness every time the main character sways or is knocked a little too far away. These scenes are often used around a climax thanks to the perfect level of grandiose tension and realism. It's a great way to get your character on edge and reveal their true feelings, mainly fear.

On the ground, outside: these fights are often much more grounded than most. Often deals with a lot of running/trying out other options beyond fighting. Typically, you're trying to establish what kind of a fighter your character is in these fights + what their morals may be.

On the ground, inside: oddly enough, this is where it gets personal. Mostly because I usually think of someone's home or a grocery store where every action means something. This is typically where the most drama takes place. I'd definitely suggest you lean into the importance of the setting they are fighting in much more than the setting of other fights. (This is also where every word counts.)

Underground: by far one of my personal favorites. The claustrophobia one can draw from these settings is truly something else. The most grounded of any other fight setting. This is where I like to strip the flashy powers and magic from my characters and let them brawl the old fashioned way, getting dirty and going all out. Down here, every punch matters.

There are of course more, but these are the basics!

4. Similar to the first step, please know how the weapons your characters are using work!

5. And of course no fight is complete without (A) build up, (B) understandable reasons for the characters to fight, and (C) clear stakes/what would be lost or gained if either were to lose. Remember, a fight is just an argument acted out. Keeping that in mind will make the whole process so much easier.

Anyways, that's just about it. I could ramble some more, but these are supposed to be the basics!

Anyways, I hope to see you guys again. Thanks for your time. And, seeya!

hey Chaos I have a question you don’t have to answer if it’s too weird. I really like Neo but I doubt he would like a shy girl like me 😥 pls tell me there’s hope! His bad boy persona has me in a chokehold like I’m down bad bad. Would he even notice me? 😣

Shy girl unite!! I understand your pain 100% anon🖤✨

Let’s discuss this together, it’s not weird at all.

Yes he would. He'd stare you down over the rim of his drink. His hazel eyes been on you the moment you and your friends walked into his club. Forget them hanging their bras up on the ceiling. You got his attention by not doing it.

Your shy nature instantly draws him in.

You're so adorable, wincing at the loud music, shying away when men try and talk to you, you’re practically glued to your extroverted friend's side the whole night.

You're easy prey if he can get his hands on ya. It'll be so easy to separate you from your friends, whisper in your ear "I know someplace more quiet." and lead you towards the back... he’ll be deep in your guts in record time. Too easy.

But Neo stops himself from approaching you just yet. Where’s the fun in an easy target?

He doesn't understand why your shy nature attracts him so much. Usually he's into more confident, sexy women but you? Nah you something different. A challenge that speaks to his primal instincts. He finds himself bidding his time with you. He wants to earn your attention. You’re a target he doesn’t want to kill.

Neo loves to tease; getting what he wants and tossing out the leftovers. It’s a cycle to him. A game. He can't do that with you. It'll break your pretty little heart and that does something to him.

Mac and the others thinks Neo has gone soft but one look into your eyes, maybe they're right.

You lock eyes with him and he’s a goner.

Definitely stares at you while biting his lip. Immediately calls you lil mama after he introduces himself. He’s super suave and reeks of cocky fboy energy but you like it.

It makes you stomach do the flutter thing. Someone like him is talking to you!! You soak up his attention like a sponge.

Who knows when he’ll lose interest and move on to another girl. You’re shocked that his gaze stays on you as a group of girls try and coax him away.

You confide in Neo about this and he just smirks. “You tryna get rid of me ma? We just met.”

He bends down and rests a hand on your lower back while his lips tickle your ear, “And I’m tryna get ta know my girl a lil better.”

Oh wow I got carried away here. I had flashbacks of my ex… okay Neo has and always will be a problem 🙃 hope you enjoy anon I need a minute.

Going to start the outline of my Pokepasta fanfiction. It's been ages since I've written one but I'm excited to get back into the swing of it like I have my drawings. Dunno if I'm going to do it and release it via chapters or if I'll write up the whole thing and go through the drafting phases and the such and release it all at once. Still thinking about it tbh. I'm also going to do my own versions of the characters simply to add a bit of spice so it isn't as predictable. It'll p/m just be a "realistic" AU thing but still hopefully keep the charm of the original characters. I might even draw reference sheets of them to go along w/ it. I just finished college and currently sending out applications for jobs so I'll have the free time (for once) to actually invest in my creative endeavors. Should be fun, I hope. I'll need a few side characters for the story too. If anyone wants their OC in a cameo, I'd be willing to consider adding some. They'd have to be living human characters that would be friends with Steven, basically. If no one is interested, I might just dive into the CRPokemon sphere and see if any canon characters would fit what I'm looking for. If not I'll just have to make them up, which I'd rather not do, but would if push came to shove. It's mostly minor roles atm while the outline is still being developed. But ya, feel free to leave a message or a DM if you'd want your OC cameoed in it lmao. It just needs to be human, alive, and (preferably) around Steven's own age (18) which would place the OCs around 16-20. I can give more details on what I'm looking for too in DMs or if you'd have any specific questions. I'll also draw you a ref sheet of the char too if it makes it, if you'd like. Kinda as a way to say thanks, if you will. Though it would be after I get the main cast's sheets done, which I hope to start soon, too. It's nice having an art project in the works again. I wished I had more creative time in college.

Couple nights ago I went to a nightclub and I'm thinking about it.

The intention wasn't to go to a nightclub, per se! When halloween weekend gets close I get a urge to find some fun excessive NYC nightlife thing on theme, preferably some kind of play or haunted house. Selections were slim this year, but my pal Lori found this thing where we couldn't tell if it was a haunted house or dance club or what from the way it was advertised. Turned out a hotel in chelsea had upended a few floors to make a halloween high school prom for 35 bucks a ticket.

I'm 34. I was poor for the period of my life nightclubs would have been Actually Fun and now that I'm a little bit more stable the experience I have is not the intended one. 9 outta 10 times, they're kind of terrible. The people often suck, the drinks are overpriced, and there isn't much to do except get my picture taken in the decor or bop around on the dance floor next to Lori who, god bless her, can have a decent time anywhere. They're built for people in a different phase of their lives than I am.

That said, I still get a hankering to go to one like once or twice per year. The fact that I'm not the intended clientelle is kind of where the fun comes in. For like 4-6 hours I'm in an environment that's mostly extroverts, which is a rarity for someone whose big things are comics and ttrpgs. Strangers walk up to try to talk to me instead of me trying to put in the brunt of the effort in person. I'll not have to use some canned opener, or at least learn a new one from someone else. Sometimes it'll be a nice chat. Sometimes I'll make a friend that can fade out in a few months without anyone feeling guilty about it. Or sometimes I'll just peoplewatch from a couch with an overpriced cocktail while Lori talks about the atmosphere.

I dunno. There's something comforting about being in an environment built for someone else and then coming home to my wife, my apartment and my drawing table. I'm very lucky.

Someone explain this thing about finance guys and like nicotine lozanges though. Maybe I'm just becoming an Old Fuck but if you're gonna be taking stimulants in a suit they shouldn't make ya drool.

[ask-a-bot]

Nice to hear from you too Starscream.

He’s normally better, I think his nightmares have made him a little more sensitive than normal.

Monsoon was there long enough for the pigeons to assume he was dead. And I’ll be honest, if I didn’t know what cybertronian corpses look like (as much as I wish i didn’t) I would think so too. Monsoon literally sleeps like the dead.

They’re better than seagulls.

——

If you guys need help with the construction efforts, the other half of the Vehicon Squadron is still there. They’d be more than willing to help (and it would stop Thor from trying to fight Nessie. Again)

I'm not happy, either. Fragging bossy fragging humans! I want to taxidermy her! It'll be fun!

I hope Monster and Legsy aren't too upset with me. I don't mean any harm.

Hehe! Most of us recharge in our alt modes when we're outside for that reason.

Want to know something funny? Optimus had his weekly dose of cola today. It makes him fart.

Starscream, that's not funny at all! Go and draw or something – shoo!

It's funny! Especially when you sneeze, honk and "toot" at the same time.

I won't tell you again.

Hmph. Fine. I was going now, anyway, Gassyaft Prime. I don't want to be around smelling distance.

You know, you're gonna have to take some sooner or later.

Yes, but seekers don't fart. See ya.

- 'Cause baby I'm a firework -

Hrrrgh...

Thanks for the offer. Let's see... we need some way to keep Megatron warm and cosy... ideally by isolating the room we're working on. Then we need to make it watertight, so we can enlarge the window and make a balcony.

Oh! I also want to add a few... a few playthings that Megatron can use from the berth. I was thinking about something like a train set, just because the tracks could go all over the place (elevated) and he could control them using a box on the wall. What d'you think? It doesn't have to be trains, if you think he'd prefer something else, but seeing as screens are too much right now, I thought having something that isn't virtual might be better for his optics.

Can you think of something else? Something better suited to him?
