Teasing Arthur isn’t that hard to do.
Low - High Honor Arthur Morgan x fem. Reader hcs :
:High Honor Arthur Morgan:
Accidentally teasing Arthur is quite easy to do. Being sweet and nice to him sometimes has the opposite effect with him. He might feel like you just pity him like you do Swanson or something. He thinks you’re a sweet girl and it’s in your nature to be kind.
It’s when you sort of accidentally stumble into him and he has to grab your hips to steady you and he’s red up to his ears talking about ‘excuse me miss’.
The second you make eye contact with him, looking up. Soft eyes and apples of your cheeks looking so plush, he can’t handle it and rushes off.
He thinks about that encounter for like… weeks.
Then you accidentally touch his hand while getting coffee in the morning light. He has never seen a girl so beautiful, can't find the words to say, just looking at your face and your hair carefully braided away for the night. His awkward fumbling makes him shrink away.
You smile at him and it's like he's frozen until Grimshaw nudges him out of the way.
The journal entries about you are so lovey dovey.
He's literally writing about all of these things, thinking what it would be like if you liked him. Everytime you catch him writing in his journal, he snaps it shut and asks what you need help with.
Arthur is just a bit too mean to himself when he writes about how you probably think he's too ugly. Trying to put some sense into himself doesn't seem to work; all of it knocks out when you greet him after a long day out. He’s back to imagining the both of you finding somewhere secluded to talk, away from camp where he can maybe kiss you behind a tree.
Grown ass man and his fantasies are this innocent. 🥹
God forbid you tease him with something more tangible. He brings you an item you've been asking all the more adventurous people to go and get for you and he's the only one who's agreed so far.
The kiss on the cheek you give him for completing the task makes him ask you if you need anything everyday for 2 weeks straight.
:Low Honor Arthur Morgan:
Completely the opposite. All of the girls treat him like crap because he's such an asshole all of the time. He's used to being sneered at by Karen and getting wary looks from Tilly and Mary-Beth.
If you're still sweet to him after all of his grumbling, his heavy handed flirting, and the copious warnings you get from all of the girls, anything you do is just luring him in, thinking you're doing it on purpose, whether it's true or not.
You're the only one of the girls who's brave enough to give him his laundry. The girls look on like you've just approached a bear.
At first he thinks you're playing some game with him but when you are consistent, he transitions into nods and tipping of his hat. Then he’s trying to corner you, hoping to hear you talk more, maybe give him a peek down the neckline of the more modest dress you wear.
Grimaces when Grimshaw smacks him on the back of the head for bothering you and distracting you from your chores.
When he works all day, doing back to back chores, forgetting to eat and you bring him a bowl of stew, he may not show it but he's already mentally referring to you as his woman.
You're used to hearing his spurs click somewhere near you when you greet him. He spends more time with you than anyone else, a drawled out pet name has you smiling just a bit.
Now he can't keep his eyes off of you, drawing you in his journal, trying to picture you posing nude for him. You say his name and he's half hard; you could be doing any number of innocent activities and he has some detail to focus on that drags his mind to the gutter.
His fantasies are so much more explicit from the get go. He's zero to a hundred, imagining you in his bed, ogling you when you bend over, torturing himself by thinking about what it would sound like if you moaned his name while he was balls deep in you. He might feel some shame but mostly he just likes thinking of you too much.
If you kiss him on the cheek after he saves you from nearly being knocked over by a runaway horse, he’s actually gonna turn his head so you have to kiss him on his lips. He only regrets you pulled away, bashfully gasping up at him before he could push it even more.
It’s actually so nice to get back into writing again 🥺 especially writing for Arthur bc I didn’t when the game came out 😭

Not to make everything about my ship, but if I don't do it no one will, so today we are making meta analysis of Boothill's faceoff match about henghill, because the differences between Boothill's stand off with Luka and his one with Dan Heng- and what you can infer about Boothill himself and what catches his eye in a person- makes me chew concrete.
JUST. I loved the scene between Luka and Boothill so much. I love how wildly unrestrained Boothill is. He really just shoved the barrel of his gun in his opponent's face and put the fear of death into him as a way to test Luka's resolve. I utterly adore him. I hope he does it again. Anyway.
When confronted with all this, Luka freezes. His stress-induced hallucinations were already bad, but you can see how they really ramp up in this match, because before, they were always something familiar. Previous enemies became Silvermanes, or Belobogian automatons, or even Cocolia. Luka is far from home for the first time in his life, and he's so terribly homesick his brain is making everything familiar, because that is what he's desperately craving right now.
But Boothill.
Boothill is something so new, and unique, and horrific and terrifying, that he becomes something entirely unknown to Luka. His hallucination manifests as Something Unto Death, as the very fear of death itself.
Tumblr media
And this stand off (which I love so much that this is how this match progressed, because like that's literally just Boothill's in-game skill; he locks the enemy into a one-on-one duel, so this was extremely in character for him) lasts long enough that Owlbert starts having to fill in the silence over the loudspeaker,
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and even Boothill himself starts trying to push Luka into making a decision one way or the other.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Given that Boothill is a hunter by trade and is proven to have all the patience to track his prey and then some, this was more for Luka's sake than any impatience on his part, to try to shove him out of his freeze reaction.
And Boothill isn't really hard to read throughout this whole exchange, he all but says outright what he's looking for.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Boothill wants to see him surpass this test and come at him! You can see it in his face when Luka finally takes a step! And in how he congratulates him!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then he fucking shot him snxhsjksjsn
Boothill admires courage, and bravery, and decisiveness. He admires a person's ability to put their life on the line and still fight in the face of danger and overwhelming odds. Those are the things that catch his eye.
And Luka does kind of get there eventually, but it is a stalling, halting motion that gets him there, and he fell to pieces immediately afterwards. This is his first time with this, and he's still figuring it out.
Dan Heng, on the other hand.
Boothill's stand off with Dan Heng from 2.2 is so fucking far in the total opposite direction that it is HILARIOUS.
Boothill literally breaks into the Astral Express, ambushes Dan Heng, and Dan Heng still has the balls to not only demand info out of Boothill- like doesn't even ask nicely, demands it- he also just straight up calls Boothill a liar. Right to his face! And he still isn't nice about it!!
Tumblr media
By the way, that entire conversation? This is how it takes place.
Tumblr media
Boothill, phrasing!!
Boothill has him at gunpoint! Dan Heng does not have his weapon with him! He does not flinch, and even stands there with his arms crossed seeming simultaneously pissed and utterly unimpressed. He looks like he should be irritably tapping his foot and looking down his nose at him. Dan Heng could not give less of a shit.
For that matter, Dan Heng even turns his back and walks away from Boothill- right in the middle of him talking, too! Not a single attempt to be considerate of the man who could decide any moment he feels like decorating the wall with Dan Heng's brains.
Tumblr media
Dan Heng is brave and courageous and completely unflappable in the face of danger. He is ruthless and decisive in how he conducts himself, even when staring down the barrel of a gun. And through his efforts in Penacony, he shows the ability to put his life on the line and fight through overwhelming odds to save his once-in-a-lifetime companions.
No wonder Dan Heng caught Boothill's eye the way he did, no wonder the two of them were working together and bantering not even minutes after Boothill pulled a gun on him haha

🖤⛓️🔞| 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐯𝐨𝐥. 1: 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
a/n: welcome to the official first installment of kinktober! today we'll start off with some softcore stuff; headcanons/how our men pleasure themselves; a look into their pants and if they use any assistance to do the deed 😮‍💨
cw: descriptions of male masturbation methods, dick sizes/descriptions, toys mentioned
taglist: @callm3senpaii @la-undercover-latina @dilfkentolover @arlertwitch @nigthmar3moon @darkstarlight82 @daddydynamight @softlilpeachxx @ringsofsaturnnnn @millennialmagicalgirl @i-literally-cant-with-this
Tumblr media
🖤 armin arlert:
x-ray: armin's pretty average at about 5 and 1/2 inches! he has more length than girth and curves ever so slightly upwards. he is so smooth, loves to be clean shaven.
method: armin loves to use a small bullet vibrator and stimulate his taint while he masturbates. sometimes he'll go even further if he's feeling brave. it gives him the most intense orgasms (besides his partner) and usually makes him a noisy, whiny mess. when armin cums, he cums in his hand for relatively easy cleanup.
assistance: armin doesn't care to watch porn but he will look at pictures you send him or watch videos of the two of you fucking.
🖤 eren jaeger:
x-ray: eren packs a nice 7 inch cock, and it's thick too. his pubes are the same shade as his hair and are trimmed neatly, doesn't mind letting them be wild sometimes, though.
method: eren likes to edge himself. he likes to take his time when he masturbates, so he'll stroke his cock and get incredibly close to cumming and just stop, leaving his cock red and throbbing. eventually he'll spill his cum over his tummy once he's had enough.
assistance: eren watches porn frequently, less when in a relationship or not at all if his partner isn't comfortable with it. he loves to watch girl on girl porn or dick riding videos.
🖤 levi ackerman:
x-ray: mans has the thickest, juiciest cock ever and you cannot tell me otherwise. length wise he's slightly above average, close to 6 inches.
method: every now and then, levi will use a cock ring when he jerks off. he loves how hard it makes his cock and allows him to last longer during his jerk off sessions. levi has a designated cum rag that he uses to finish in so as to not make a mess.
assistance: levi absolutely does not watch porn. he knows it's completely unrealistic and thus does not add any fuel to his fire. he prefers to use his imagination.
🖤 jean kirstein:
x-ray: well, let's just say he's got a cock that matches his face ;) homeboy is packing heat. a solid 8 inches, all length.
method: jean likes to use his non-dominant hand to jerk off. he turns his hand so that it slides down his cock forefinger first. he'll twist his hand ever so slightly, as if someone else was stroking his dick for him. jean does the deed in the shower, so he lets his cum spurt out against the shower wall and down the drain.
assistance: jean likes to use pictures or videos you send him, much like armin does. he will occasionally watch porn if he feels compelled to.
🖤 connie springer:
x-ray: connie has an average size, maybe slightly below average penis. but what he lacks in length he makes up for in width, and wit.
method: connie likes to play with his balls when he masturbates. he'll twirl them around between his fingers or pull them up and down rhythmically as he jerks his cock. connie cums into tissues, though they're not the most effective at actually catching the spurts.
assistance: connie always has SOMEONE in his phone willing to send nudes to him, relationship status be damned. single? he's got hoes. taken? he'll happily ask for nudes from his pretty baby. he loves to watch amateur porn too.
🖤 reiner braun
x-ray: do i even have to say it... HIS COCK IS MASSIVE. reiner is big and beefy in all the right places. i'm talking porn star cock. 10 inches and it's thick.
method: reiner uses lots of lube. he's big and girthy so he needs a little extra sum sum to get him there. he also likes to jerk it in the shower every now and then, but if he's not in the shower he's definitely in the bedroom, cumming buckets into your bra or panties.
assistance: reiner loves to have phone sex. there's something steamy about only hearing you moan and talk dirty without seeing you touch yourself.
🖤 bertholdt hoover
x-ray: this man is the definition of pencil dick and i mean it in the nicest way possible. his cock is as tall and thin as he is, and he knows how to use it.
method: bertholdt doesn't use any special toys or lubes. he'll either spit in his hand and jerk it or use some lotion if he happens to be near some. he usually saves his jerk off sessions for late nights, so he finds an old shirt or sock to cum into.
assistance: i cannot explain it, but bertholdt gives me the vibe that he saves every nude he's ever been sent and uses those to help him jerk off. also has a thing for revenge porn.

: ̗̀➛ ALICE IN BORDERLAND
Tumblr media
NIRAGI SUGURU ---------------------------------------------------------
Niragi is a complicated character; he is vindictive (having a strong and/or unreasoning desire for revenge)and vengeful (seeking to harm in return from previous injury), displays sociopathic behaviour and has antisocial personality disorder.
in his backstory, we learn that he was bullied; the bullies threw balls with baseball at him, he had to eat rice mixed with their urine if he moved, and most likely, they did more humiliating things to him for no real reason. this made him wonder later in the show if they hated him because they saw how messed up he was from the start or if he became this way because of them. after the bullying, he drastically changed his appearance because he thought the only way to end the misery of his life was to change. the bullies made him believe that people like him deserved to be bullied, and because of them, he started to become sadistic, just like they were.
in Borderlands, he started as one of the martial sector members of the beach. this put him in a higher position than the usual members and allowed him to use the guns the beach offered. of course, this made him very confident, and he was consumed by the thought that he could now do whatever he wanted to whomever he wanted. most of his actions there were just sadistic and crazy things he did to enjoy his time better. however, when he saw one of the scared guys while aiming at him, niragi reminded himself of the bullying, which shows that he’s still not over it and it really triggered him.
with Usagi: on the beach, he only wanted to sa her because of his god complex at that time. in the manga, she calls him out for being pathetic and alone; in the show, she bites his tongue piercing instead, which specifically comes from the bullies who told him to pierce his own tongue. in both, she reminds him that he’s actually a loser and that he won’t change it, which makes him anxious around her since she reminds him of the bullies. when they met in Osmosis, he initially acted pretty sane, came with the idea of balance (pairing the weaker with the stronger person instead of arisu). it’s not surprising since he is the best at diamonds and is very intelligent, after all. as mentioned, he acted pretty nice for himself because of arisu, whom he felt safe around, and of course, he wanted to win that game. everyone seemed okay with him besides usagi; she was the only one who didn’t want to touch him and was disgusted by him. he couldn’t understand why she was disgusted when he was nice and actually behaved like any other person, which again reminded him of the bullying and put him in a defensive mode. for him, the only way to feel safe was to attack first, so he again tries to sa her. he even asked her, "am I really that disgusting? everyone looks at me that way"—everyone—(bullies).
after Osmosis, when he wandered around in the show, he just saw a guy on the side of the road, but in the manga, he found him in the church. there, the man tried to take his own life but failed. he lay there with a Bible by his side,niragi started reading it, and stated he was the opposite of God, since everybody loves and follows Him, while everybody hates him and hopes to not be him also made fun of the guy for trying to khs. this was, at least in my opinion, the moment when he lost all his sanity; he was comparing himself to the devil, and i think he really believed that, even though the truth is that he’s still the same person—the same “loser.” Arisu and Chishiya - after ,he finds them and begin shooting so they can all be together forever. his sanity was at its lowest, and he wanted them to experience the same madness he did—to bring them to his level. this is also why he laughed when Arisu beat him up in Osmosis; he loved to see Arisu behaving as shitty as he was. but Arisu declares that he will not shoot, bravely exposing himself from cover and talking about change, ruining his mood. then Usagi appears, and Niragi, convinced she is the reason Arisu "wants to leave him," tries to shoot her, crying and screaming that he doesn't want to be alone anymore. they were the only people he had. however, as we know, he shot Chishiya instead because of his sacrifice. then he tells Arisu that they're in a better spot because they were always viewed as normal and didn't suffer like he did - they are the majority - but if there were more "weird" people on Earth, he would be the norm, and then arisu would be seen as the devil (the weirdo) in the eyes of others instead.
with Tatta, Niragi basically hates himself, and Tatta reminds him of the "loser" side he despises. He let his anger out on Tatta and isn't genuinely happy they won because of him. as i mentioned before, he believes people like him should be bullied and are worthless, so the thought of such a loser saving his life gets him mad.
his strong will to live after all the events he went through is evident; Niragi just wanted to stop the suffering. he desired a better life and usually engaged in activities he thought would make him feel better—first being sadistic and trying to forget who he really is to keep Arisu and Chishiya with him forever, as only they could understand him. in the end, aside from the mental suffering, all his body must have been hurting from the shooting and burning, and it was the only moment i truly felt bad for him. even if the world seemed to want him dead, he still wanted to live so badly, no matter how much he was hurting.

LOVING YOU IS ALL I NEED!
( batter , first officer & forward relationship h/c's ) + gn!reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
# think of this as a pt. 2 to this fic , grammar and spelling warning
INTRO
How these men show their undying love for their one and only—you.
꒰wc꒱ 1.1k
Tumblr media
✦— THE BATTER
Ganji Gupta didn’t dare dream of the day he’d find his one and only, his true love, someone to grow old and tired with until his heart gave out on itself. Unfortunately, his newfound situation halted any progress he could’ve made.
That was until you arrived at the manor with a letter to hell in your hands. That was until he got to know you better. That was until you shared your first kiss on New Year’s Eve. Ever since then, he’s been completely and utterly yours.
Ganji Gupta is the type of man to show his love and devotion to you through meaningful Acts of Service. There’s little to nothing the Batter wouldn’t do for you. He isn’t above taking hits for you in matches when needed, and he will use his last ball to save you from getting sent back to the manor.
Ganji Gupta who, as much as he loves being on his own, gets a bit lonely at times. Therefore, he loves nothing more than to spend some Quality Time with you. He prefers long walks around the perimeter of the manor and also enjoys getting to rest his head in your lap as the two of you lounge about.
Ganji Gupta teaches you the recipes passed down to him by his Mother. It makes for a great way to spend time together whilst making sure he doesn’t forget them in the process. Cooking with you brings back bittersweet memories and reminds him of his Mother all too much.
Ganji Gupta frequently wakes up from relentless night terrors. He’s heard of other Survivors describing their own experiences with them but didn’t think it would happen to him. Now he finds himself waking up in a cold sweat and alone in bed with nobody to calm him down. This leads to him sleeping in your dorm room more often than not in a way to help combat these nightmares. Hopefully, he can get some rest tonight thanks to your help.
✦— FIRST OFFICER
Who doesn’t know the brave young man Jose Baden? The Sea Knight who wields a pocket watch said to have been blessed by Posiden himself, the artifact that always ensures smooth sailing? The First Officer is punctual, humble, and always knows what he wants. He just didn’t expect it to be you.
Nonetheless, the heart can guide a man better than any map can. He may indeed have fallen for you first, but you undeniably fell harder. Although, who wouldn’t with the way he constantly sweeps you off your feet?
Jose Baden is always true to his words when it comes to you, and therefore showers you with Words of Affirmation. It makes communication between the two of you much easier when there’s nothing to hide. And there are only so many words to describe his love for you, so we’ll have to start from the top and work our way down.
Jose Baden, who cannot keep his hands off you. No matter where the two of you are. Physical Affection is this man's specialty and has been embedded into his DNA. It's the simple things like his pinky finger being entwined with yours or his arm around your shoulder, holding you close.
Jose Baden isn’t afraid to show his love for you in front of others and would never shy away from it. It’s truly a gift to be head over heels, so why hide it? Why not show off what he’s got and everything that’s so precious about ‘em?
Jose Baden who can’t help but take a hit for you in games. He doesn’t ever want to see your blood spilled, and would rather have his coat on the map instead. He’s ready to face the stern talking you’ll give him after the match, but you’ll patch him up anyway.
Jose Baden doesn't like admitting the fact that he misses the sea badly. The things Jose would do just for an evening back on the ocean are wild and many. The closest thing he's got is Lakeside Village, but even the calming waves that brush upon the shore can't heal the pain in his heart. The Officer will admit his feelings to you in an act of desperation and comfort. And comfort he receives from you. From cuddling and listening to him rant about the ocean for the 100th time to peppering his face with soft kisses that seemingly never stop.
✦— FORWARD
Said to have been the creator of Rugby himself, you always want William Ellis on your team. He successfully lifts the spirits of all his teammates while headbutting into the Hunter just before they use excitement. It's the thought that counts, right?
To have William in your corner means to have someone who is with you through thick and thin. Someone who will stick by your side until the end of time itself. And until you can finally realize just how much the Rugby Star adores you.
William Ellis who can’t help but hold you close. Physical Affection is this man’s go-to for showing how much he loves you. Like Jose, he will never feel embarrassed or ashamed when showering you with his form of love and affection. He’s either got an arm around your waist or your hand in his—there’s no in-between.
William Ellis loves Giving Gifts just as much as he loves Receiving Them. While the Forward’s not the best at picking out pre-made gifts, he is the best at making ones straight from the heart. Using his clues and fragments, he’ll craft something he finds worthy of gifting you. Whether it be something like a small, red box in the shape of a heart or a bracelet that has your and his initials on it, the gifts are all made with you in mind.
That being said, William Ellis will treasure anything you gift him in return. And that can be anything. Silly little notes passed underneath the table during dinner. A beaded anklet that has left a tan mark because he never takes it off. Or a smaller version of his Ruby ball with every stitch being almost exact.
William Ellis who’s afraid he might not be good enough for you. Who fears that one day he may be forgotten by everyone he’s ever loved. Maybe that’s why he works so damn hard. To prove to himself (and others) that he’s worth remembering. Fortunately, there’s no need to go the extra mile when it comes to you. William’s proven himself more than enough already, hasn’t he?
note: a little gift for all my Ganji, William, and Jose lovers out there. made 4: @rieuvie + @williamkisser + @ch6douin +@jklovu + @5ku11h34rt

CP9 Cat Headcanons
This is... a very silly post. XD After seeing a similar concept on Pixiv (images 10–12 in this log) and critiquing the breed choices it used, I wound up writing my own take on it.
These are written with actual cats in mind (not my usual Hybrid Au), and the breed choices are just for fun— as in, largely chosen based on looks/vibes, not anything too serious. I was definitely channeling that early 2000s "characters are cats for some reason now" mini-genre, so these are pure fluff/comedy, for once... >3>
. . .
Lucci
(Bengal)
Serial toy murderer. Violently destroys any and every toy you give him within a matter of hours, days at MOST. 
Some of the things he’s done to his toys probably qualify as war crimes tbh. Likes to drown the catnip mice in his water dish. Also enjoys tearing things into ragged chunks/”gutting” the stuffing. 
Sometimes you wake up to him on your chest with a present. 
(A chunk of mutilated cat toy. He drops it onto your face.)
The most athletic cat you’ll ever know. There is no surface in your house he can’t reach SOMEHOW. Also can and will learn how to open doors, drawers, etc, and will use this unfortunate skill to get into everything if he’s bored. 
Affectionate, but only on his terms. You don’t decide when you’re allowed to pet him; when the mood strikes, he’ll interrupt whatever you’re doing and forcefully put his body in your lap. 
You’re not allowed to move until he decides you’re done. :) 
Has a surprisingly cute kneading habit. He’ll go Baby Mode and make biscuits for hours. Sucks on certain blankets too.
Kaku
(Devon Rex)
ZOOMIES TO THE MAX.
Seemingly never sits still. Will run from one end of your house to the other at all hours of the day. At night, you’re regularly woken up by the distinct rapid thumping of galloping kitty paws.
Likes high places and unexpected perching spots. This includes your shoulder— and he can make the jump on his own! 
Playful, but not prone to destroying his toys. Prefers batting hard objects down a flight of stairs to tearing the plush ones open.
Too brave (and curious) for his own good. Lacks any sense of danger when it comes to investigating something that’s caught his interest. 
This includes slipping through the front door.
Not super cuddly, but likes being near you/keeping an eye on what you’re doing. 
Has a squeaky “old man” meow. WEH!
Jabra
(Egyptian Mau)
Wild, playful, curious, and so very destructive. If he’s not kept entertained, your property will suffer for it. 
Requires FREQUENT play and attention, but fortunately, he’s not too hard to please. Throwing a squishy ball for “fetch” can keep him occupied for hours. 
The asshole cat who will make direct eye contact with you before (very deliberately) knocking something off a shelf, then sit there smugly while you try to scold him. 
Very talkative! When he wants your attention, he YELLS, and seeing wildlife outside always brings out that excited, bloodthirsty chitter. 
Taking him to the vet is an ordeal, for everyone involved...
Doesn’t mind being pet and handled. Pesters you for affection regularly, but gets bitey when he’s had enough. :/ 
Highly territorial. Will not tolerate other cats/animals near him.
Kalifa
(Turkish Angora)
Truly the embodiment of the “disdainful gorgeous fancy cat” trope. 
Her fur is incredible, due largely in part to near-constant grooming. Do NOT interrupt her washing. 
She’ll wash your fingers too if she’s feeling affectionate. Mlem mlem mlemmmm...
Likes to be involved in what you’re doing. The kind of cat to walk across your keyboard or loaf-sit on top of stray paperwork, seemingly oblivious to how badly she’s getting in the way. 
At least your “adorable secretary” makes for good moral support!
Not overly playful, but she can be a DEADLY hunter when the mood strikes— fast, agile, and with amazing reflexes no matter what kind of toy you put in front of her. 
Weirdly fickle about when you’re allowed to touch her. Will glare, hiss, and swat at fingers if you test those boundaries.
Blueno
(Norwegian Forest Cat)
The most quiet, low-maintenance, independent cat imaginable. You nearly forget he exists, sometimes.
Not much of a meower, but has a deep, calming, rumbly purr. 
Content to curl up on a chair or in a corner and let you go about your day! He’ll alternate between napping and silently staring in your general direction; the eye contact is a sign of affection. <3
Won’t seek out attention on his own, but also won’t fight it if you pick him up and carry him around like a plushie. 
...he stays limp and docile no matter what you do to him, actually.
Needs regular brushing, or his fur starts to matt. It’s pretty much the only “extra attention” he’ll require, though, and he’s (fortunately) cooperative about it. 
Learned how to open doors at some point. You don’t know how he managed that.
Fukurou
(Persian)
R O U N D (and it’s not just fluff)
Despite being shaped like a furry bowling ball, he’s quite playful, and way more agile/fast-moving than you’d expect. 
...that energy is much less cute when his full weight lands on your abdomen in the middle of the night, however.
VERY affectionate. Will take any opportunity to lay his chin on your palm, headbutt your shoulder/wrists, put his paws on your chest so he can try to lovingly lick your face, etc— purring all the while! 
Chatty cat!! Chirps and squeaks at you non-stop; if you “respond” to him, it turns into a back-and-forth conversation with his mrrep-ing. 
Fond of high places, like bookshelves and tall dressers. 
It’s unclear how such a heavy cat manages to get up onto them, but he usually ends up yowling for help when he can’t get back down.
Kumadori
(British Longhair)
A huge, massively fluffy mini-lion of a cat, with that “polite little gentleman” face common in his breed. 
Sheds. Sheds SO MUCH. All of your clothes are covered in his fur, no matter how hard you try to keep him thoroughly brushed. 
You cannot escape the fluff. 
YOWLS. The loudest, most determined drama queen when he wants something. Acts like he’s dying if his food bowl is empty for more than half an hour, non-stop howling included. 
Extremely cuddly; wants as much attention from you as you’ll give, and will flop his entire body into your lap to get it. 
Fond of jingly toys! The louder and more annoying the bell, the better. 
If you ever have to give him medicine (be it a pill or liquid), he’s utterly betrayed. Gives you the huge, sad, miserable scared-kitty eyes for the rest of the evening, and won’t let you touch him. 
(He’s over it by morning, and back to purring in your arms. Baby.)
Spandam
(Siamese)
The ugliest purebred imaginable, and his personality isn’t better. <3
Health issues. Skin/coat problems, numerous food sensitivities, arthritis, frequent UTIs, and a crooked tail from a past injury.
King of separation anxiety. If he can’t find you, he’s HOWLING, then finding a corner to cower in until his protector is back.
Truly the embodiment of the phrase “scardey cat”. Terrified of everything from the vacuum to rustling plastic bags. Huddles under the couch, trembling pathetically, after every little scare. 
...it is kind of cute when he runs to you to “save” him, however. 
This clumsy dumbass WILL get himself hurt (in incredibly stupid ways) if you don’t keep an eye on him. Utterly oblivious to real danger.
His distressed yowling is awful, and the attention-demanding yells aren’t much better. The classic So So Whiney Baby Siamese! 
NEEDS to be the only cat in the household— he’s violently territorial, but guaranteed to end up the other cat’s punching bag once he’s pissed them off enough.

Pulsatio Cordis Review
TL;DR: You know when you're talking to the person you've got a crush on, and, then, you turn into a certified dumbass and say something stupid? So, imagine that, except it's not you, but your crush, and your crush isn't saying anything stupid, but everything homicidal, and it's like, oh...mkaaaaaay. Suddenly, that weird thing that you said earlier ain't that weird anymore. Talk about awkward...
Game Link: https://lucia-lily.itch.io/pulsatio-cordis
Tumblr media
Notable Features: Gender selection, Self-Insert, Affinity system, Multiple endings Spiciness: 0/5 -- It's definitely not innocent, but as far as spiciness? There wasn't any. It was lowkey kind've sweet, though, in an overlook all the red flags and fix him sort of way LI Red Flags: 4.5/5 -- Intense shifts in emotions, stalking, obsessive, drugged us, homicidal, manipulative, kidnapped us, forged a letter, planted evidence
Wanna know more? Well, let's get into it!
Tumblr media
Yo. How's it going?
I'm gonna be real with y'all; I really don't feel like doing an intro lmao. Sometimes, I deadass don't know what to say, and I'm at a loss as to how to start it off. I also don't push myself to make an intro either so lol. I figure if I just be honest about it, it won't seem as lazy. Is that working?
Anyways, I think I was scrolling around on...Itch.io? Actually, I think this one came from here. I think I saw, like, a picture or something... Anyways, I discovered this game, and it was pretty solid! I'll get more into it later, but just as a whole, pretty damned solid!
I feel like I should mention something, though. This review has been done for like...weeks now, but I was making a post that kind've goes along with this, and it wasn't done and still isn't, so I never posted this lmao. It was honestly a "hear me yap more" type thing, because there was an aspect of this game that was super interesting, and I couldn't help myself.
...Okay, now, I really don't know what else to say so, we're just gonna jump right in. As always, I'll tell you as much about the game as possible without spoiling the game itself. That being said, let's take advantage of my lack of yappin' and get into it.
Tumblr media
So boom.
Tumblr media
Let me just cut to the chase: we are down bad for this hottie at school named Liev Lavanté. Like, bro, even his last name is hot. Could you imagine having a last name like that? That was a trick question, because we've already pictured us getting married and living together and being so domestic together with the cooking and the hugs from behind and siiiiiiiiiigh~ <3
Anyways, he's absolutely perfect in every way possible. He's super smart, super popular, super charming, super attractive, super...well, super everything. I point that out, because, aside from there being a massive amount of competition, the main issue is that he is, very clearly, way out of our league, but yolo right? Right. Not to mention that the worse possible thing that could happen was us getting shut down, so...? Fuck it, we ball, and, with that ball, we shoot our shot. Basketball references, am I right? Aha....ha....okay, anyways.
Actually, let me correct that. We kind've shooted out shot (shot our shot didn't hit the same, so it was necessary to be illiterate; just overlook it lmao). In actuality, we weren't that brave about it, but it still took us well out of our comfort zone to make a cheesy ass confession letter and shove it in his locker.
So, now, we're at home, anxious aye eff, because we were extremely bold and basically told this man that we wanted to slob his knob (not really, I'm just a degenerate) in writing, and we're mentally preparing to get rejected, cry it off this weekend, and move on wi-- wait.
Tumblr media
Holy shit, wait--!!!!!
Tumblr media
AH--!!
Tumblr media
FOR A DATE, THOUGH, OR...??! FREE FOR WHAT???
Tumblr media
OH M-- ALEXA!! PLAY THAT REMIX WITH BEYONCE IN IT BECAUSE
I.
AM ON.
TO SEE.
MY HUSBAND.
Tumblr media
I'M HAPPEH. I'M HAPPEH. TO SEE. MY HUSBAND...until we weren't lmao. Yeeeeeeeeeah, let's dial it back and remember that this is one of those visual novels. Now, let me explain the issue.
So...there are times where Liev gets reeeeeally intense.
Tumblr media
Like, insanely so, and, I don't think you guys understand what I mean (well, of course you don't, because you haven't played it yet. Duh moment. Anyways...); he's one of those people that either feels nothing, or he feels everything...sorta. Let me keep explaining.
So, one of the first things that we did was go out to eat, and, admittedly, the staff were struggling a bit, but it's all good, ya know, because we're with bae. Like, we're talkin' and vibin'. We're learning about him, he's learning about us, and we're just chillin'. Time goes by, and the waiter eventually comes out with our main dish, as expected.
Now, that sounds like something totally normal and innocent, right?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah, no...apparently it wasn't, because Liev was really pissed off about that waiter interrupting our conversation.
What makes this more off-putting is that, not only did he highkey blow up about the waiter, but he started saying some pretty dark stuff. Now, mind you! We just confessed to this man and are having our first real conversation with him, and he's coming out of the woodwork with this stuff. Like, Liev was saying that he was in love with us and how everyone could burn in hell and that he wants to hold us but also murder everyone in the room and--
Like, bro, it just kept going...but then he stops and returns to normal conversation like the conversation hadn't ever not been normal. Like, oh...m'kay ._.
Naturally, this kind've puts us off...like, a lot. Actually, this puts us off so much that we've gone into survival mode. Like, we're literally just trying to get through the date without triggering Liev and getting ourselves killed. Now, this seems like a simple enough task, but, aside from the fact that it's never that easy in games like these, it's a guessing game as to what would actually make Liev flip or not.
Like, are stuffed animals the trigger?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Is it holding his hand?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Is it when we've finally had enough and ignore him?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like, what makes Liev go from being okay to being not okay? It's literally a matter of life or death to know these things, because Liev is not beyond confrontation.
Tumblr media
So, it'd be best to tread lightly, or it could get really violent, really fast.
Tumblr media
So! Not bad! Pretty damned solid game!
It definitely wasn't one of my favorites, like, story or yandere-wise, but holy hell, was it one of my favorites clinical-wise! The way that it's clearly laid out that, "No, he's not just some random psycho and a bad person; he's legitimately mentally ill and is in serious need of help" was sooooo satisfyingly done. Now, admittedly, it was a lil' obvious here and there, but it wasn't bad!
Designs of the characters were cute, we had an MC with darker skin, which is, personally, always exciting to see, and the flow of the story was done really well, in my opinion! There were times where it'd go from, like, 0 - 75, sometimes 100, without warning, but it actually made sense as to why it'd happen like that, which was fantastically implied and lowkey laid out.
Anyways, I honestly don't have too much else to say about it, except that I really enjoyed the mental health aspect of it. I loved it so much, I couldn't help but do that thing that I tend to do and diagnose Liev. Lol if you want to see me ramble more about that in depth, you can check that out...whenever I actually post it lmao; it's a work in moderate progress at the moment ^^;
To get back on track though, I recommend a casual playthrough! It's the right duration for the story that's being provided, there's multiple endings, which is always interesting, and Liev is a lil' cutie...even though, I really wish that he was at least drinking age. Something about-- well, for the sake of potential spoilers, I'll just say that I don't like that Liev was out here collecting scholarships. Like, that just gave me full ick lmao. It was my fault, though, because had I actually read the game page and not said "Ooh, he's cute and the page is in pink! <3", then I would've saw how it said big as shit that
Tumblr media
and
Tumblr media
Like, there was no reason for me to be shocked by mentions of him getting scholarships and shit lmao. I literally just had to read.
Okay, wait, no, stop; I got off track. ANYWAYS lol. Me recommend game. Game solid. Game make me go "Damn...that actually kind've sucks, and I feel bad...". Game might make you go "Damn...that actually kind've sucks, and I feel bad...", too. All right! Now with that finally being said, I invite you to go to the dev's page, and tell them, "Hey! You did a good job here! When's the next game dropping? I'll be first in line for it, because I want you to keep doing the thing!". I'm sure that'll make them feel all warm and fuzzy and proud.
That's pretty much it! This review was a little scattered, huh? Well, I'm sure it's all right, because I'm finally done yappin'. The link for the game is right here, and, if you wanted to see the therapist side of me and hear me yap about Liev's potential diagnosis, keep a look out for that post. It'll be posted...eventually lmao. That's honestly why it took me so long to post this rambley review, because the plan was to put them out together, but it was nearing towards the end of the month, and you already knew that I wasn't going to let an entire month go by without posting something. Better yet, I try really hard not to.
Anyways, the biggest preesh for getting this far! Please, please, please remember to drink water, don't be dumb, and hope to see you around~!

Heartsteel Ezreal Boyfriend HC's
On a side note, I'm using wet--milk's gifs on like all of these wanna say thanks for clippin good gifs person!
~To the cute green haired Ezreal~
Tumblr media
~Floof, mostly just floof honestly -shrug- as always enter at your own risk!~
Ezreal is the kind of guy who does not G.A.F about PDA. He will kiss you, hug you, smother you in affection no matter where you are. Ironically, he was shy when the two of you first met, but that flew out the window as soon as he realized how amazing you treat him and how you accepted him so purely. Contrary to his general attitude, if anyone starts giving you any extra attention that makes him or you uncomfortable, he will confront them. He will be brave and walk up to them and tell them who he is to you and make sure they know not to f around. "You're so cuuute! Come here. -Hug-. Honestly, y/n, I never want to let you go." "Is there a reason you're talking to my partner? Carry on, see what happens."
Ezreal is THE joker. He acts shy a lot of the time, but he is a huge goof ball. He will constantly be scheming with his bandmates for a silly prank to pull on you. As a matter of fact, Ezreal and Sett have pulled quite a few pranks on you. They never let you in on the ones against Kayn and Aphelios though, and certainly it can't be because they don't want you to know all their secret plans, right? On the contrary, it is hilarious to prank him especially to scare him, because he has the best reactions! Usually, you team up with his other victims to get back at him, and it makes it all the more worth it. "Hehehe, sorry my love. We just thought it would be funny. Please don't be mad at me? Awh, I knew you couldn't stay mad at this face!"
Ezreal is... an attention seeker. All his life he has been striving to be in the spotlight, and that is no different when it comes to you. He will be attached to you by the hip wherever you go. He even took it upon himself to steal some of "his" posters from his bandmates rooms and hang them up in your bedroom, so you always see him even if you aren't together. If you ignore him to rile him up, be prepared for an onslaught of tackle-cuddles and kisses when it's just the two of you. He will also take it upon himself to shower you in attention. When you dress up for him, for example, he will lower his glasses and look at you through his lashes with his jaw dropped. He is your ultimate hype man. "Do you like them? Yeah, I used to be in a band before Heartsteel, can you believe it? What? No, I'm not taking them down!" "Come here, why have you been ignoring me? -1000 tiny kisses all over your face- You have no choice but to pay attention to me now!"
Ezreal's kisses are sporadic, chaotic, and messy- but not in a bad way. He has this way about him that makes him almost seem desperate when he kisses you, like he's a man starved. Sometimes he will even push you against the wall, groaning into your mouth when you finally let him in. He will back away from you, pulling at his hair and biting his lip to show you how much you affect him. On the other hand, if you take the lead he will literally melt into a puddle. If you grasp his face, pull him close and kiss him gently, he releases little whines that make butterflies erupt in your stomach. "Gods, you're so perfect. I'm not going to stop kissing you. Ever. You got that?"
Ezreal is a pouter when you argue, but he is also such a joker that it's hard for him to tell when you're actually upset with him. Once he does, he will do literally anything to make sure that you aren't mad at him for long, even if it means contradicting what he thought was right in the moment. He will become a soppy mess if you actually show him your anger. May even shed a tear. By the end of it, you feel so bad you have to give him loving to make up for it all. "Love, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were serious... I promise I'll pay more attention next time, okay? Come here, let's cuddle about it."
Ezreal just doesn't say goodbye. As a matter of fact, he just assumes he is going with you wherever you go, and vice versa. If you somehow end up somewhere without him, if he doesn't know where you are, he may just go into a slight panic? Usually running to Yone for help, eventually getting a text back from you (he sent SO MANY texts). His separation anxiety is cute, even though it's sad, and it makes you hyper aware of just how obsessed with you he is. "Where ARE you, my love? Oh my gods, you scared me! Please don't leave me again, I don't think my heart can handle it."

"Dumb f*cking idiot" Part 1 -Sanemi x reader
Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6
Angst-for now!
>definitely expect more chapters >:)
>tw cursing- obviously ; ;
Tumblr media
You meet Sanemi in the forest and he messes you up.
ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ˏˋ°•*⁀➷
only in the forest you are usually able to stop thinking about everything weighing on your mind. at least for a few minutes. today you are heading towards a particular place, the one with the small lake almost encapsulated by the tall trees.
you know this forest by heart, since you live right outside of it. your attention sets on your surroundings, the sun dancing on the green leaves, small branches cracking under your footsteps. the expected moment of serenity sets in.
it is moments like these when you start wondering if what people say is even true- that the demon slayer headquarters is on the other side of the forest.
there's never any noise coming from that side. no explotions or whatever- you don't really know what's supposed to happen, no screams, no nothing. and you've never seen these demon slayers either. the only thing that stops you from completely mocking the idea is that you know for a fact: demons are real.
thoughts stop and time freezes as you look up from the ground. the lake is a few feet away. and today, there's something incredibly strange going on here. someone is sitting under a tree facing the lake, with eyes that stare into the abyss with such intensity that the abyss is most likely scared of him. you can't tell if he's sweating or crying, or both, but he feels like a ball of explosives ready to tear apart even the dampened breeze that dares to pass him by. this man is covered in scars and tragedy.
yet, there's something about him. it's almost like you can see through him, like you can feel what he's trying to hide so deeply. that encourages you to blurt out:
"hey!"
he doesn't lift his head, he doesn't even blink. he is still keeping his crazed eye contact with the abyss, as if he's also telling you "you thought i didn't see you there or something? i was hoping you'd fucking leave me alone."
"how big of a dumb fucking idiot are you to talk to a stranger who could obviously easily kill you right now? and when you're alone too?? you've got no survival instict, huh?!"
"what a weird way to show you're harmless", you think to yourself.
you sit down, not in front of him as that may seem confrontational, not next to him as that may seem too intimate, but in the appropriate middle.
you're still trying to decipher if he has been sweating or crying.
"are you okay? do you need anything?"
his eyes became somehow even bigger, baffled, offended, veins bursting out.
should you have spat in his face instead?
"what... the fuck do you care??! who the fuck do you think you are??!! stop bothering me and get the fuck out of here!!!"
did his screaming just shook the ground? the birds are taking flight, too.
you don't say anything. you take a deep breath and look at the sky. deep breaths. deep breaths. the thing is, you saw something in him. you know this is stupid but he felt like...home. you kind of saw yourself in him. at least a version of you. you felt like...maybe you could understand each other, which is something you never really feel.
you're debating if you should be stubborn about it or leave him alone and stop stressing him out. "well, you can't convience him to open up, not like this, but at least let me say what i need to say."
as you gather the courage to open your mouth, he yells:
"why are you still fucking here you ffffu-"
"i care because you're human. you didn't even look at me, so i'm not sure you know, but i'm human too."
he finally looks at you. you avoid his gaze and stare into the distance.
"i don't know you but i know pain. and it seems like you're in a lot of it. shielding your heart isn't going to solve anything. not accepting the slightest bit of warmth isn't going to protect you from anything."
deep breaths.
"if you want to be strong and brave, then open your heart. there's going to be pain, but it seems like you already know, that alone won't kill you."
you get up.
"i'm gonna go now. spare me from the yelling."
you don't look at him, but you can feel he is both extremely annoyed and surprised, and for the first time, he wants to yell but he can't bring himself to. you keep walking. somehow, your heart is hurting.
...
the next day, you wish you had something urgent to do, to force yourself to focus on something else but the white haired man. huh, you were so stuck on his aura that you didn't even process his hair was white.
you hate how the forest reminds you of him. it's like you have nowhere to go now.
him. "maybe i truly am a dumb fucking idiot", you say out loud.
you've never picked the best reasos to fall for people, but this is a bit ridiculous. what was it? ah, yes, the intensity, the raw complexity of feelings, the deep, hidden sensitivity. and, fuck, you'll admit, he was hot. you can't allow yourself to think about that too much or you'll go crazy.
"dumb fucking idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" you screech into your pillow.
after a few hours of trying to do something else with your day, your head is getting hot, the room is getting hotter and smaller. so you decide it's time to start moving on. and go on a walk in the forest.
...
what even was his name? no, fuck that, it doesn't matter.
you take your usual route to the lake. you're not gonna let some guy taint your comfort spot. you'll get over it. someday.
you get there, sigh, and sit where he was sitting yesterday- almost like trying to erase him from the spot.
sigh. feelings sink in and you allow yourself to admit that you wish he were here. you had the stupid hope that he would be standing here, all "what you said yesterday changed my life". you want to eyeroll at yourself. "are these really my thoughts? when did i become so fucking stup-"
"you're wrong, just so you know. you have no idea how strong i am. what do you even fucking know? you talk to me about being brave? i risk my life every fucking day, you fucking idiot."
you freeze. you can't see him, but you know fully well who it is, even if it's the first time you hear him talk, well- spit his words-, not yell.
what an unexpected improvement.

Can we get one where the reader is riding Ferran and size kink with it <3 Love You ❤️‍🔥
Height difference (Ferran x Reader) smut
Tumblr media
Warnings: smut, mentions of reader being small, Internet people going feral at the size difference between you and your boyfriend, some breeding kink
Masterlist
From the very first moment you met you boyfriend, you took notice of how big he is.
I mean -how could you not? The man is literally double your size, shoulders so broad, taller than the average Spanish men, and let's not talk about his thighs -a true blessing in your opinion, countless times have you found yourself riding them.
Your boyfriend has taken notice too of how little you are next to him, a bit shorter that the average woman. Back when you were just friends, he would do that shit about comparing hand sizes -it made him feral when you did those little comments about his hand enveloping yours. He can carry you everywhere, his little pocket sized girlfriend, and when he fucks you, he moves you however he likes it, as if you truly weighted nothing.
It's not only you two who have noticed the size difference, lots of times have you entered twitter and besides people laughing at your boyfriend's past tweets (author note: read them, they are totally worth it), you have encountered people talking about how sex between you two must be like, you so tiny, he so big, pictures all around about the height difference.
You don't care, how could you? They are totally right, sex with your boyfriend is amazing.
You might be on top, but Ferran is always in control, his hands tight on your waist as he moves you up and down, impaling you on his big cock that reaches so deep inside you.
You are salivating, mumbling thing not even you can understand, body trembling as you are fucked dumb, hands playing with you tits and head pushed back.
"You can take it, can't you, darling?" he tauntingly asks, smirking even if truly he feels so fucking sensitive inside your pretty, little pussy "So fucking brave, taking my cock, so big for you yet here you are, like a champ taking it all"
You whine, mumbling something that he guesses to be affirmations about you being able to take him.
His hips push up into yours, balls hitting your ass, whines louder, your eyes hazed with pleasure as you try to move as best as you can, yet there is no strength on your legs, so you just let him do all the work, one finger teasing your clit, he knows how to work you.
"Gonna take me all, right? Let me fill you up, breed you with my kids, you would like that, wouldn't you? So small, stomach carrying my child, waddling around, letting me bend you over whenever I like and filling you up one time, and another, and another... "
He is moaning too, your walls incredibly tighter, he knows the effect his words have on you.
"Joder, vas a hacer que me corra pronto. Gonna folk you up, my pretty, little doll, so cute for me" (fuck, you are going to make me cum soon)
He sits up, taking full control -even if he has always had it, rutting into you, harsh thrusts and skin slapping and becoming red, you are like a doll, taking him without complain, so dumb, his lips around your nipple, one hand burying on his hair.
He fucks you however he wants, so small it's so easy for him, he takes what he wants, you wouldn't have it any other way.
He fills you up with his cum, makes sure you take it all, before starting again.
Fuck days with Ferran are always long, he takes it how he likes it, enjoying the control you give him as you cry for his cock, promise you can take it even if it's giant for your tiny self, it makes him feral, you make him feral.
One day, he will confirm the rumours, because Ferran Torres sure knows how to pleasure his little girlfriend.

I suppose today was the straw that broke the camel's back, where I once again saw someone (recently!) say Zoë is just a "nice Chloe," and friends, I am befuddled. Bewildered and baffled, even! DYEL (Do You Even Ladybug), bro?
I am here today to tell you that not only is Zoë Lee her own, unique character related to Chloe only by blood (unless she's a sentibeing!), but Zoe Lee is also the third or fourth most worthy holder in the entire bouquet of Miraculous characters (Marinette, Adrien, and Alix are the other three).
First let's talk about whether Zoë is a Chlone (did the Chloe/clone pun work?).
What do we know about Chloe?
French
entitled
bully
handsy
quick to anger
wants to please a mother who abandoned her
father wants to please her
can't remember names
has a "friend" do homework for her
makes the best pun in the entire show
willing to be akumatized
probably wants to make out with Marinette Dupain-Cheng (okay fine, this isn't strictly canon)
when she gets a Miraculous, she brags about it and shares her identity publicly because for her it's all about the glory
racist
behavior all seems to arise out of the expectation that everyone exists to please her (because she's modeling herself after her mother) twinned by a need to be acknowledged by her mother
What do we know about Zoe?
American
shy
unperturbed by rejection
used to be fake
decided to be her authentic self even though she'd be rejected by her peers, which leads us to
LGBTAF
had no parents in her life because she was at boarding school
tender
brave
humble
definitely wants to make out with Marinette Dupain-Cheng
maybe a sentibeing (otherwise her mother got pregnant, like, a couple months after giving birth to Chloe, and where is her dad in all this?! did he died!)
does NOT think wealth and power are all that and a bag of potato chips (blows off that Diamond Ball thing, refers to that type of person as a "zombie")
has held two different Miraculous and both of them she took because fate required it
artsy!!!!
I can kind of understand right after her debut feeling like this: she is in Paris (like Chloe), shows up with blonde hair (like Chloe) and the body of a girl (like Chloe) and uses a girl's voice (like Chloe) to speak to Marinette (like Chloe) nicely (not so much like Chloe), and we see her trying to gain family acceptance in Soul Crusher.
But then she rapidly diverges from Chloeness.
Finally, we get to season five, which finished airing over a year ago (thank goodness we get S6 soon!), and Plagg ghosts Adrien to find a new holder.
Let's consider Adrien getting Plagg the first time: he's sad, lonely, stuck in his room all day, has no friends, and has no idea that he's going to suffer by becoming a superhero. And he becomes Chat Noir, gets to chill with this beautiful lady he crushes on, and his enemy is an inexperienced villain who fumblefucks through his powers being an idiot of himself as the two of them and Ladybug gradually all gain skill and experience wielding their powers.
So you're Zoe Lee, you see all kinds of crazy shit in America, and these French heroes come to your city (New York) and fight a dude who pops off with a dozen NUKES all over the place ready to do some damage, and WHEW they save the day with the United Heroez of America.
You move to France, and your first day there, a gross old man slithers into your brain, emotionally manipulating you until you give in and allow him to use your body to hurt people and destroy property. And then, when you're finally rescued, you're publicly humiliated as the "villain" despite not remembering anything you did. And then you probably watch videos of yourself doing horrible things later, in your room by yourself, maybe as your half-sister yells at you for being a monster or something.
The person who manipulated you is a villain in your new city (did I mention you're living in the house of someone who isn't even your real dad?? without your mother present??), regularly causes billions of dollars in damage and mass casualties, and currently has control over almost all the Miraculous. He's SCARY, VICIOUS, and his power level is INSANE. He's got the heroes on the ropes. He's had a long time to get stronger. There are news articles about how he's a very. bad. dude.
And then the heroes DISAPPEAR. Paris is FUCKED.
And a tiny little cat shows up and is like "hey, kid, you are needed."
Any normal person would be like NO. NO NO NO.
But Zoë?
"Claws out."
Who cares that she's probably gonna die? Who cares that she's probably going to fight alone? Who cares that her enemy is terrifying and has already very specifically victimized you once before?
NOT ZOË LEE.
And that is why Zoë is not a "nice version of Chloe" and also is one of the most worthy holders in the universe. Alix is the only one who gives her a run for her money, and IME that's an essay for another day (but tl;dr being the Rabbit Holder would mentally break any normal person).

UPDATE: I welcome reasoned disagreement. But if you're going to insult me, I will delete your comment and block you.

The Heart Killers Ep 3
I won't lie, I was planning to approach this episode with a lot of trepidation (and the tags with even more than that if what I thought was gonna happen happened, if I'm honest). but a soul who is far kinder than I think I would be eased my mind on the first thing. The second I'm still nervy about but well. I want gifs so I'll have to brave it at some point I'm sure.
But before that, let's get into this episode with bells on baby. Give me Fadel's tragic backstory and give it to me now.
Previously: Style was annoying af but also hot and we learned Fadel is not immune to that. Bison and Kant played more games and I was floored by how ruthless Kant actually was (and I haven't seen anything yet whee).
Now: Well we know this woman is evil because she's dressed in all red.
HI PEPPER. HI JJ I didn't know you were in this.
Oh she's really good at that dead eyed I will end your life stare. Good for her.
GIVE ONE OF THE Js A BL ALREADY.
Yeah you know what lady I don't believe you. Bison you little dumbass Fadel told you he'd ask. JFC kid.
Bison is literally the only one in that room who doesn't get that this woman is kind of the devil isn't he? How sheltered has Fadel kept him really? I do love a devious, evil woman though.
PFFFT Style babe please don't talk about who is the type to listen to heavy metal wearing that shirt.
"I can have a good time all by myself" Yeeeah you can.
Fadel if you actually follow him I will lose all hope for you.
One thing I will say, I think Style definitely is one of those people who can make himself fit in anywhere by sheer will.
There was a whole moment there when Fadel absolutely thought about choking him again lol but I don't think it was in the fun way that Style was looking for.
Wel that pool conversation was interesting. Both of them lying their asses off. And Bison absolutely did follow him there I'd bet money on it. I still don't think he really gets what's going on (or at least I hope not), but that meeting was too coincidental to be coincidental. Bison literally showed up to deliver that little warning and bounce. I really don't love the idea that he's hip to what Kant's pulling yet - it annoys me in a very specific way that all "oh this character is so smart and plays 4D chess in his sleep" stuff annoys me, but also, I just like it better if he starts falling before he really starts to wonder if Kant might be on to something. That he's going to choose to ignore the signs at some point feels like a given right now, but personally I'd prefer Bison a little naive for a bit (and it would fit with what happened earlier in the ep with Mother Lilly).
Then again, if Kant insists on meeting his Captain friend literally five seconds after chatting with Bison maybe he deserves Bison knowing the entire time. JFC dude this is almost as bad as you meeting the dude you paid to get a bowling ball dropped on his foot in a parking structure two seconds after Bison leaves your sight.
Can no one do these things right.
Oh Captain Christ followed him too. Man Kant is popular today.
Captain Christ doesn't give two shits if Style gets himself hurt lol he's only asking because he wants to know how much damage control he might have to do later. People keep talking about how Kant siccing Style on a literal murderer is wild and it totally is, but I do think that it is also a case of what Style doesn't know can't get him killed. I really don't think Kant wants or expects anything to actually happen, he just wants Style to distract Fadel for a bit so he can work on Bison. Hard to get in already, even harder with a scowling big brother dogging your every single move.
So Captain Christ and Kant have totally banged, yes? Bet it was really good but Kant felt a little (or a lot) dirty about it after (still went back for seconds though).
The way that Fadel isn't even trying to drive Style off anymore is kind of hilarious.
"You're not my type" says yet another liar.
So Style absolutely knows that Fadel wants to bang him like a screen door right? Yes, yes he does and he's gonna poke at it until Fadel explodes from frustration. He is so ridiculous.
Put the grandma glasses on Kant. Put them on.
He's not gonna put them on is he? All my dreams are now dust. Jojo you're on notice.
Hm. I'm going to have to think some about this before I really talk about it. All I'll say is Kant you fucking dumbass this is not the kind of thing you do when YOU don't trust someone 100% and I know you don't you loser.
Fadel babe Style is not gonna guess you're an assassin and even if he does it won't be seriously calm down.
OH MY GOD KANT STOP YOU'RE EMBARRASSING YOUR GLASSES THEY'RE JUDGING YOU ALMOST AS HARD AS I AM.
Lol okay I know this is an unserious show but if one more person does some sort of shady shit right out in the open I'm gonna lose it.
And here it is. The tragic backstory, delivered by a smirking Pepper. Pepper I hate your bangs but I am kinda getting a kick out of how much enjoyment you're getting out of rubbing Fadel's mistakes in his face.
Or well. "Mistakes," I'm sure.
Oh no please not back to these two dumbasses I can't.
Bison baby he doesn't even know what a safe word is (unless he's putting that on so that he can make Bison explain it to him but I dunno he does seem to not get it) please put an end to this farce.
(spoiler: he is absolutely not going to put an end to this farce)
Here's the thing though. I don't actually think that Kant would hate this if it really were coming about organically? But one, right now it's a job that he's getting through, not something he actively wants. And two, he does not trust this man. Right now Kant is sailing through this with sheer balls and not much else. And it kind of makes me wince a little when we have Bison trying so hard to make sure it's consensual and that Kant's not pushing himself.
Hahaha now they aren't even safe from Fadel in Kant's tattoo parlor why is this so funny to me that man is everywhere. He sewed a tracker into the hems of Bison's pants didn't he.
Lie better Bison.
"Gimme a sec Bison I've gotta threaten your not boyfriend again I don't think he heard me the first time."
Kant is such a shit I swear.
Oh Fadel. I just love him so much.
Well Bison called this one. Good for him. Dark and brooding indeed.
Oh this should be fun. I would have thought that -
*Joong starts dancing, head empties*
Style: oh, he's hot.
Buddy where have you been.
Also ah, so Bison's drugging the secretary's drink then. Interesting tactic, that (but also low key cackling because well I know what's coming).
Style babe I like the way you think.
Hahaha of course he learned it from Magic Mike Jojo I love you you're back off notice for the glasses.
Actually though this is kind of perfect because to Style it would explain everything if Fadel just leaned into the host thing. Except he might want to show up again and that could turn into a problem. Oh no is Style actually trying to be helpful? Every time he stops being deliberately obnoxious it's pretty much always to be randomly earnest in a disarming sort of way, isn't it? And usually it's when he's trying to help someone, be it doing Kant a solid by telling Bison how down bad for him he is, helping out at the restaurant simply because they're busy and he's there, or offering to find a way to help Fadel out with his financial troubles (that he definitely does not have lol).
And now Fadel is going to kick all of these dude's asses.
What is with all the mouth close ups.
I don't believe for a second that Style didn't believe that Fadel was a host because he needed money. Style I'm liking you a lot right now and I don't think you're dumb but I do think you believe people when they tell you things...until they give you a reason not to, that is. Such as beating the everloving shit out of three dudes without breaking a sweat.
I say again, Kant is such a shit. Like he knows Fadel can kill him, he was genuinely worried he was gonna do something to him earlier, and he's still acting like a bit of a dick to the man's face. I swear, this dude is either great at compartmentalization or he has a death wish.
Or both.
You know, I'm gonna miss the running gag of Fadel interrupting these two every time they start to have a moment.
Oh no I am way too invested in Fadel because all I needed was the tiniest little flash of him being so happy with his past lover and I got all teary.
YES he's scared he doesn't TRUST you and he doesn't actually LIKE anything you've done so far.
Style. Style. Style what are you doing Style.
Jfc dude is nothing sacred.
Although to be fair, I don't think he knew what it was a support group for. But still, good god. Maybe back away graciously when you realize what you've walked into? Maybe? Don't' invent a dead dog story and fake sob about it these people are grieving holy shit Style.
Okay that bartender sucks what. Why would you make those drinks.
Oh look more drugs they really are made for each other.
Ha. You can just tell that Fadel thinks fucking Style is gonna get him out of his system. Ever look at a man and think wow honey you are so wrong that it's both hilarious and a little sad? Yeah.
Pffft Style that confidence is gonna get you in trouble.
And you know what? I'm not even mad about it. Play stupid games get a fist to the stomach and a knee to the groin.
Actually Bison has it better than the secretary at least he's not vomiting all over the place.
Oh Kant I see you. And so do the cameras.
Kant give him five minutes before you go snooping jesus.
...you know what I just realized. Bison's "prize" for winning the bet still assumed that Kant would be coming home with him. So there's that. But of course Kant would have still had to drug him because he doesn't want to go home with Bison for sex (kinky or otherwise). He wants to go home with Bison to get his snoop on.
The way that Bison pulled out those ropes was very funny, and when I paused it to laugh I got the best reaction face from Kant:
Tumblr media
this is the face of a man who did not properly think this through. Dying. The question is though was Bison too drunk to clock it? Although...hm. Would it matter if he had? Maybe more on that later.
The music is hilarious what even.
"I have been waiting to have fun like this with someone for so long," he says. Yes honey we know you literally have your bed prepped for it even though you just said you've never taken anyone home (and unlike some of the other shit that comes out of his mouth, this I believe. Mostly because Fadel would do a murder).
Why is this cracking me up is it supposed to? It's First's fault entirely.
Because this is what Kant's mouth is saying: "I'm Kant. I'm a tattoo artist who loves adorable guys." What his eyeballs are saying is "I'm a fucking moron who is gonna get whipped to within an inch of his life and have to ask for more," and it shouldn't be funny, the underpinnings of why this is happening are absolutely NOT funny, but the music and the faces are taking it there. I'm kinda grateful tbh because it could have gone really dark instead and I kinda love this dark comedy tone the show has going on let's not ruin it.
Well Kant you said you liked being slapped.
He was totally enjoying himself at the end there. Getting into it big time. See the thing with him is he strikes me as the kind of guy who actually wouldn't mind trying something like this out in a normal setting, and he might even like it, but the problem here is that he doesn't feel like he's allowed to say where his limits are because due to what he has to do for Captain Christ, his limits have to go as far as Bison's. Even if he's not comfortable with it. And his limits might even be as far as Bison's! It just doesn't matter.
Add that to the fact that he knows damn good and well that the dude squirming in his lap and getting off on hurting him a little could easily kill him. Has killed. Will probably kill again while he takes his sweet ass time investigating. So he's unable to have real limits while dealing with a man he doesn't actually trust who could very well kill him if he slips up.
Fun.
...okay but did Fadel kill his ex lover because his mom told him he was a traitor or was working against them? That's how I'd write it but also I like angst and drama way way way too much.
This episode had a lot, and I have a lot of thoughts. and I don't now how coherent I will be in them but here we go I guess.
I like that everyone kind of sucks - I was worried that we'd have a situation where at least one of these guys is an innocent baby but we're not getting that at all. Even Style, arguably the most innocent of them all, is a jerk. This is fine and honestly kind of exactly what I want from this show. I'm invested in no one save Fadel but that makes it a lot easier to just enjoy what I'm getting.
Kant continues to fascinate me. I'm still so wary of what will happen to his character but man, right now I'm loving how ruthless he's being. I know I keep saying that but I don't even care this guy is a dick.
But also, this isn't his first rodeo, is it? While I'm utterly certain he's expendable to Captain Christ he's used him for dangerous jobs before and if all goes well here will probably continue to do so in future.
I really can't wait to see how he falls into his own trap. Just please bl jesus let him stay competent and ruthless. He can turn that ruthlessness in another direction, you know, he doesn't have to lose it just because he falls in love.
This was the first episode where I looked at Bison and went, "oh honey," which I was surprised by. It wasn't the drugging and it wasn't the tattoo shop stuff or even the stuff after the bar. Nope. What got me was his delighted little smile when Kant said he was helping him clean around the restaurant to prove himself to Fadel. That was the first time I looked at him and thought "oh this really is gonna hurt."
I truly don't know if I buy that he's actually given Kant his heart next ep - as I already said this was also the first ep that he did something that had my eyebrows going up a little so I'm side eyeing him a little right now - but he's definitely in this a little too deep. How could he help it though, when Kant's there working so hard at every turn to please him and trying to prove himself to his big brother and is even game to try this new kinky thing that is actually pretty important to him? And here is why I think that even if Bison clocked that Kant's apprehensive at best about this pain stuff, it might actually work in Kant's favor.
Because as far as we know, Bison doesn't know that Kant is basically being coerced into this whether he likes it or not, all it looks like from someone on the outside is him trying to please Bison. That's heady stuff, especially for someone who likes being in control as much as Bison does.
And I'm really starting to think that Fadel has kept Bison from knowing a LOT. Because some of the stuff he said with Mother Lilly was just jarring. I'd understand it if she coddled him but she doesn't, not really. And yet he's the only one who doesn't seem to understand to tread carefully with her. It's weird.
Which brings me to Fadel, literally the only character that I am emotionally invested in and who I am just so in love with I can barely handle it. Honestly though this tracks for me, since Kat was the only character I really cared about in 10 Things.
Joong is just playing him so well, he's killing me a little bit. He plays so stern but oh, there are already cracks aren't there. Mostly with Bison - it was only a matter of time before he cracked and let him have what he wanted, not because of Style but because he does want Bison to be happy, and as much has he chides him for being naive and trusting he has clearly worked hard to make it so that Bison can be that way. In spite of everything.
And this lover he used to have that he was going to leave everything for. I'm assuming he's dead or that he were disappeared by Mother Lilly, and there are different ways they could play this but my two favorites are as follows:
Mother Lilly lied about BF being some sort of traitor after either disposing of him herself OR she made Fadel do it/Fadel was so mad he went and did it himself.
He was actively working for someone, either a rival or even the police, and Fadel found out and disappeared him / told Mother Lilly and let her handle it. Or Mother Lilly was the one who told him.
Mother Lilly discovering (or "discovering") that BF was set to betray Fadel would go a long way towards explaining his devotion to the job and his unwillingness to go against her - he might not like it himself but maybe he feels like he owes her?
Also, number 2 would fit in with 10 Things and the Joey plot - Fadel warning Bison about Kant because he has been there before but also not telling Bison the real reason why and Bison just thinking he's being a paranoid weirdo. It wouldn't be a perfect 1:1 because Bianca was over Joey pretty fast lol but it'd be close enough, plus I kind of love that kind of parallel (except I guess in Bison's case loverboy accidentally does the job so well he actually falls in love. Also no killing of the Kant Bison he's too pretty to die).
Maybe we'll get fed a little more info next week, eh?

Spicy headcanons! Jacaerys x reader
Tumblr media
Pairing: Jacaerys Velaryon x fem!reader (afab)
Warnings: Nsfw, explicit lenguage, explicit content, mention of pregnancy ⚠️
• First of all; this boy was raised to being a correct man, so you would be his first time, and it would need a lot of confiance for him to advance (You can be his long time crush, his girlfriend or even wife).
• Everything starts with playful touches, hungry looks, or with my favorite one: scene of jealousy, he was so jelaous to see you laughing with another men that he had the impulse to remind you to whom you belong.
• Jace is not into degrading you, he prefers praise you for everything, he calls you his brave girl and whispers you how good you're doing it, when you take his big cock for the first time, he whisper loving things to you during all the act.
• He is sweet and kind, he kisses your cheeks and neck, but when the pleassure becames too much to handle he chokes your neck or pulls your hair a little bit too rough while his hips moves erratically. 🥴
• Jacaerys loves touching your body, he would caress your breasts even if you're not having seggs, he's just using those soft 'pillows' as stress ball, Jace always have his hands on your wide hips, and he would spend hours fingering you only to hear your moans and because he loves how wet and tight feels your walls around his fingers.
• He has breeding kink for sure, in his most hidden desires he loves the idea of you full with his children and you bearing a family for him, after cumming, he is still inside you to fill you correctly, and not wasting anything of his sperm.
• He is not satisfied with a single round, Jace likes when you two get really tired and overstimulated to the point that everything hurts, I mean, he's a knight, of course he would use all of his resistance to have a lot of rounds.
• The aftercare is the most important part for Jacaerys, he has a pitcher of water on his nightstand to both drink after the action, and he gives you pieces of fruit while you guys talk about anything, or if you feel too tired, he cuddles you and caress your hair gently.

Headcanons for Akabane Karma as Himself | as a Friend | as a Lover
➻ PAIRING : akabane karma x reader
➻ CONTENT WARNING : my headcanons to these red-haired boy 😗🫶
➻ WORD COUNT : 845 words
a/n: it's actually my first time doing a request, so i'm sorry for taking a long time doing it. tell me what'chu think about it?
another a/n: also, i actually made three sets of headcanons (hcs for his character alone, hcs for his character as a friend, hcs for his character as a lover). though the other two are not yet done. so please bear with me 🙏 🙏 🙏 . (i might upload them tomorrow, though.)
Tumblr media
I feel like he's a good chef but has a weird taste in food. I imagine him matching unbelievable types of food:
During a lazy weekend, Karma set out on his solo culinary adventure to indulge in his wickedness and hidden abilities. After catching sight of a fanciful idea, he resolved to prepare dishes involving the most unlikely pairings of ingredients.
In his kitchen, Karma created an exotic twist: a Chocolate-Soy Sauce Glazed Chicken Mélange that surprised even her own palate. He was surprised and delighted by the sweet chocolate dancing with the savory soy, which convinced him that there must be greater powers.
Karma then bravely went to doing a Strawberry-Wasabi Surprise dish. Sweet strawberries and fiery wasabi produced a unique taste—at least to his taste buds—that resulted in something delectably different from what is normally expected.
Continuing his culinary excitement, Karma made garlic-flavored pasta with marshmallows. Marshmallows, with their soft sweetness, worked unexpectedly well with the sharp garlic. The combination resulted in a dish that defied all traditional ideas about taste.
"Who says you can't play with food? It's all about bending the rules, adding a dash of mischief," he said to himself.
And, as Karma stood in front of his experimental creations with pride, he rejoiced at the prospect of pushing the boundaries of experimentation. During his one-man journey, he discovered that the most memorable meals are often accompanied by something unusual. For him, the kitchen became a zone of his imagination and creativity, leaving behind an appreciation for cooking.
I believe he has a soft spot for animals, particularly strays.
One sunny afternoon, Karma walked through the park, his steps light and focused. While he was enjoying the peace and quiet, he noticed a movement near a cluster of bushes. Nestled among the foliage was a stray cat—a small, scruffy ball of fur with curious eyes that met Karma's gaze.
His mischievous smile softened into a grin as he bent toward the timid cat, his hand slowly reaching out. He slowly handed out a piece of bread. The stray, at first hesitant, approached with caution. Karma's fingers touched the soft fur as he stroked the cat's back gently.
"There, there," he says, somehow sharing the feeling of loneliness to the cat.
In that one moment, Karma's tough exterior melted away, revealing a different side of him that was rarely visible. His eyes shone with genuine affection, and he didn't stop talking to the stray, quietly offering him words of tenderness. Karma had a deep affection for animals, particularly those in need, regardless of how daring or competitive he was. Afterall, he knows how it feels.
Karma's unexpected conversation with a stray cat evolved into an unspoken thrice of trust and understanding. However, the cat that had been nervous was now meowing contentedly beneath Karma's caress. In that serene��moment, Karma's sympathy for stray animals demonstrated the depth of his character, reminding us that even the most unexpected people can have a soft spot for those in need.
Karma eventually stood up, giving the stray one last gentle pat before continuing his walk. The stray cat, now with a new companion, looked at Karma gratefully. In that peaceful park moment, Karma's compassion for stray animals demonstrated the depth of his character, serving as a reminder that even the most unexpected people can have a soft spot for those in need.
He who values the lessons he learned from Koro-sensei and applies it to his life.
Following Koro-sensei's death, the students in Class 3-E were enveloped in an atmosphere of grief. The once lively classroom echoed with a sense of loss and contemplation, leaving Karma and his classmates to deal with the void left by their beloved teacher.
For instance, each of them reminisced about stories that made them laugh, as well as memories of times when they grew and realized their fondness for each other through sharing experiences. Their teacher's presence stayed with them as a memory, inspiring them to pay tribute to the man by applying the skills and values he taught them.
As the days passed, Karma became aware of a slight change within himself. Koro-sensei's teachings rang true in his mind, altering how he saw and responded to life. The flickering wickedness in his eyes remained, but he had gained a better understanding of the importance of accountability and sensitivity.
Remembering Koro-sensei's teachings on resilience and compassion, Karma chose a different path. Instead of retaliating, he handled the situation without resorting to violence. He demonstrated a newfound maturity.
In the face of Karma's changed attitude, the group of students who were initially motivated by vengeance found themselves disarmed. Karma's resilience, strategic thinking, and compassionate demeanor helped to defuse the tension. Slowly, understanding replaced resentment, and the students exited the scene, leaving both parties safe.
While the pain of Koro-sensei's absence persisted, the students, led by Karma and others, turned difficulties into opportunities for positive change. Their journey continued, and Koro-sensei's indomitable spirit persisted within each student, ensuring that his legacy would always be a guiding light in their lives.

The Siren, or The Heart of the Matter
Chapter Eight: The Assignment, or In Defense of the Mighty Ovary
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x OFC
Warnings: language, eventual smut, fluff, eventual canon-typical violence MINORS DNI. A/N: Happy Monday, loves! I hope you're all hanging in there amidst *gestures wildly* y'know. Enjoy another installment of our girl and her adventures. Does anyone want to guess why we get two titles for every chapter? 🤔
I have a taglist now! Let me know if you want to be added to it!
Summary: Cleo and the Avengers discuss the future.
Tumblr media
Chapter Directory
Entering a conference room full of Avengers feels truly surreal. I’ve sat at plenty of awkwardly-shaped tables in plenty of boring office rooms, but the group of people sitting with me isn’t usually this… unique? Strange? Capable of multiple varieties of untraceable murder?
Natasha gives me a nod and a smile when I enter, and as I smile back I find myself wondering how much of her warmth is designed to get me to let my guard down, and how much is who she really is under the master-assassin mask. Bruce nods as well, which I return, and Steve gives me a friendly little wave. I salute him with two fingers. A man I haven’t met yet (but recognize from news footage of the New York incident) sits next to Natasha sporting a boyish smile, and as Tony and Barnes file in behind me, he stands and leans across the table with his hand outstretched.
“Hey Cleo, I’m Clint. I’m a big fan of the first two letters of your name.” His grin really is charming, and I find myself unable to resist smiling back. 
I shake his hand. “Nice to meet you. I’m a big fan of the whole bow-and-arrow thing - very Paleolithic-chic.”
His laugh is loud and unrestrained, and I think that I’d enjoy being his friend. 
I glance around the table for open seats. As much as I’d like to sit next to Clint or Natasha, I don’t want to make a whole thing of squeezing around the oversized table, so I take the open seat right in front of me - between Tony and Steve. Barnes has decided to brave the dreaded table-shuffle and plops down directly across from me. My cheeks burn as I remember the moment we had in the kitchen a few short minutes ago, and I try not to look at him.
Tony smirks at me as I sit. “Nice outfit, kid. I’m flattered. But you forgot the slippers - they really complete the look.”
I roll my eyes but can’t help my chuckle. “Only Tony Stark has a big enough ego to stock his guests’ closets with his own merch.”
Everybody laughs at that (except for grumpy-ass Barnes, of course), and Natasha leans forward. “You can borrow some of my clothes later, and we’ll use those for target practice.” 
I smile wryly at the fit assassin. “Thank you, but I doubt we’re the same size. And hopefully I’ll have my own stuff soon, anyway.”
The room goes a bit quiet at that. I sigh, lay my hands flat on the table. “Look, I’m not an idiot - I know what we’re here to talk about. Let’s just get it over with.”
There’s a moment of silence, and it seems like every person is waiting for someone else to speak first. I blow a few stray pieces of hair out of my face with a huff. “Okay, one of you needs to grow some ovaries and start talking.”
Steve goes beet red and Natasha grins widely. Clint mouths the word ovaries questioningly at Bruce, who stifles a chuckle. Barnes pinches the bridge of his nose, which I’m beginning to learn means he’s annoyed. Specifically, with me. Tony leans forward on an elbow and raises his eyebrows at me. “Come again?”
“Oh, please!” I say. “Have you ever seen a man get kicked in the balls? For that matter, have you ever been kicked in the balls?” I look at Tony appraisingly. “There’s no way someone hasn’t taken you down by now, Stark.” If I didn’t know better, I’d swear Barnes chuckles at that.
Clint stage-whispers, “She’s not wrong,” and Natasha looks delighted.
I slouch back in my seat. “All I’m saying is if we want to communicate that someone is strong or brave, it makes more sense to use an organ that’s objectively tougher.” I spread my fingers wide. “The mighty ovary.”
“Marry me,” Natasha deadpans. I shoot her a wink and wiggle my eyebrows, and Steve slumps over the table to cover his face with his hands.
Tony’s eyes dart between Natasha and I a few times before he finally speaks. “Since Women’s Studies here has broken the ice so delicately, we may as well get started before she further offends Cap’s delicate sensibilities.”
Tony gestures to Steve, who seems grateful to change the subject. “Right. I won’t beat around the bush - we’d like to make you an offer, Cleo.”
I tense, growing serious as I look between him and Tony. Clearly, the shift in leadership means we’ve crossed into Avengers territory. “When you say ‘offer,’ do you mean the kind of offer I can’t refuse?” I do my best Godfather voice (which is, admittedly, very bad). 
Steve brightens. “I understood that reference!” I quirk an eyebrow, but he just shakes his head and keeps going. “I mean the kind of offer that you can take or leave. You’re in the driver’s seat here.”
“I’m listening.”
“We don’t know a lot about what’s caused your… changes, or the abilities that come with them, but we do know that what we’ve seen is pretty powerful. Now, you can go back to Culver and your old life, but there’s a chance you could really hurt someone without even meaning to.” I grimace and nod - this has been the subject of my anxiety for days, ever since the conversation I had with Bruce and Tony back in the med bay.
Steve continues. “But, with the right training, we think you could learn to control your abilities - even use them to help people.”
“Help people like…” I survey the assembled Avengers. “Like you help people?”
“Exactly like we help people,” Steve says with a grin.
Tony clears his throat, pulling the attention back to himself. “So our offer, Lite Brite, is to let you stay here and give you that training.”
I ignore the nickname and try to hide the way my body goes rigid at that. If I’ve learned anything in my life, it’s that nothing comes without a price tag. “In exchange for what?”
“Smart kid,” he mutters. “In exchange for letting the Doc and I keep running tests to get to the bottom of your magic crystal powers.” He wiggles his fingers at me. 
“And,” Steve cuts in, “joining us on the team, if and when you’re ready.”
I look around the table again. “That’s why you’re all here? To recruit me?”
Tony gives me a smile that I’m sure has dazzled plenty of women, but I’m too gobsmacked to care. “Well, Point Break is off planet at the moment, but otherwise, yeah. Pretty much.”
I take a deep breath. “Why?”
Steve’s eyebrows knit together. “What do you mean?”
I hold his gaze. “I mean, why me? Sure, I can scream really loud and make shit vibrate or whatever, but I don’t see what that contributes to…” I gesture around the table. “To all of you.”
Steve leans toward me. “Don’t sell yourself short, you never know -”
Tony cuts him off. “Spare the ‘believe in yourself’ pep talk, Cap, she’s too bright for that. Pun intended.” I roll my eyes, but can’t help a small smile. “Kid, we may not know where your mojo comes from, but we do know you have a lot of it. Truckloads. We’re taking a gamble that the more you train, the more you’ll be able to do. And despite what happened the last time I went to Vegas, I don’t usually make bets that aren’t a sure thing.”
I sit quietly with that for a moment, taking it in. “You said this was up to me to accept or refuse - what happens if I say no?”
Natasha speaks up. “Then you go home, with the understanding that you’re risking the safety of everyone around you and, as a result, will be watched very carefully.” I hear the unspoken threat loud and clear.
I run a hand through my hair nervously, and Barnes tracks the movement. I throw him a glare, no patience left for him watching me like a ticking bomb. “I don’t know, I - I have a whole life at Culver. I mean, I figured you weren’t going to let me just stroll out of here, given everything, but I’d hoped at least…” I trail off, rubbing at my temples.
“Hoped at least what?” Clint asks kindly. 
I feel my cheeks flush, and I give a small, embarrassed smile. “It sounds stupid compared to what you all do, what you’re offering to include me in, but I’m just so close to finishing my PhD. I hoped I could at least see it through.”
“We did think you might say that.” Tony says, nodding to Bruce. “And a few of us have some… pull, so to speak, at Culver. I mean, having a building named after you is a little more influential than giving some lectures, I guess, but who’s measuring?” Bruce gives Tony the finger, making me laugh and releasing a little bit of the tension I’ve been holding.
Steve speaks next, probably trying to redirect the conversation before Tony has a chance to whip out a measuring stick. “Look, Cleo. We get it - you don’t want to give up everything you’ve been working toward. And we aren’t asking you to disappear without a trace. I’m sure you have people at home that are worried about you.” I nod, even though it's closer to ‘person’ than ‘people.’
Tony pipes back in, making me dizzy from the ping-ponging conversation. “So if you agree to our little offer, I’ll use my considerable charm and influence to convince Culver to let you finish your degree remotely, from the Tower. If you need more weird old books, I can get them sent to your door.” At my shocked expression, he winks. “Considerable charm and influence, like I said. Anyway, we’re not running the witness protection program here, so we’ll give you your phone back - well, I’ll give you a new StarkPhone because yours just makes me sad - and you can call the people you trust and let them know where you are. Hell, your mom can come by for dinner. We’ll make meatloaf. The point is, we want to work with you, kid.”
I sit frozen for what feels like several minutes, just blinking dumbly at the group sitting around the table. Finally, I think of something. “Could - could I at least go back and get whatever I can salvage from my apartment?” Steve grins widely, understanding that I’m only asking because I’m going to agree. Surprisingly, I don’t find it smug - it’s just nice.
“I may have arranged for your things to be recovered and sent here a few days ago. I was waiting for you to agree before I had it taken to your room.” Tony at least has the presence of mind to look a bit sheepish.
“Oh,” I exhale, the sound much smaller than I intend. “Okay. And if I agree, do I have to stay in the building, or can I, you know, go places?”
Tony frowns. “Well, you can leave.”
I wait, before prompting him. “Sounds like there’s a ‘but’ there, Stark.”
“Yeah,” he sighs. When he doesn’t respond with a childish butt joke, I know what comes next is not going to be pretty. “You can leave, but until we’re all confident that you won’t accidentally break someone’s ear drum or bring down the Empire State Building, you’ll have to have a… chaperone.”
I rub my face and nod. “Yeah, I guess that’s only fair.” 
Barnes lets out a frustrated huff of air, and my eyes narrow. 
“Wait a minute, Stark.” He smiles at me, and his is plenty smug and not nice at all. “Who would this ‘chaperone’ be?”
“The only one of us who seems immune to your sonic scream.” He nods at Barnes. “Congrats, kid, your babysitter is everyone’s second-favorite supersoldier.”
Barnes’ metal arm clenches around the arm of his chair, and I suspect that when he leaves, there will be dents left behind in the chrome. 
I throw my hands up in surrender. “Sure, yeah, seems like a great idea. The two of us are already the best of friends, clearly.” 
There are a few nervous looks and a few amused ones, but nobody comments. Barnes refuses to meet my eyes.
I pause, knowing that as long as my abilities are unknown and dangerous, there’s really only one response to their offer. “Well, do I at least get a cool superhero name?”
******
The meeting, if you can call it that, breaks up quickly once I agree. Natasha and Clint go off to prepare for an upcoming mission, but both express their excitement to start training with me soon. I try not to look as scared as I feel at that. Bruce wanders off to his lab, muttering something about genetic adaptations and resonant frequencies that I do not understand one bit. 
Tony, Steve, and Barnes stay behind with me to iron out a few final details. I’ll be allowed to roam about the residential levels of the Avengers Tower without supervision, thanks to JARVIS’ presence and Tony’s forethought in making everything virtually indestructible for the existing superhuman residents. If I decide to leave, though - even just to the employee levels - I have to take Barnes with me. 
Steve and Tony are both insistent that I shouldn’t let this stop me from getting out of the Tower, assuring me that this is Barnes’ only assignment at the moment and that he will be more than happy to accompany me. One glance at Barnes tells me this is the first he’s hearing about said happiness.
Tony promises that, as soon as we have a better handle on my abilities, he plans to start making me my very own Stark-tech supersuit. I never really fantasized about being a superhero when I was growing up, but my excitement at this prospect has me thinking that I should have. Steve goes through some of the more boring details with me - signing NDAs, waivers, and all manner of other paperwork; talking me through who works for the team now that SHIELD has been shut down, who I can trust; and letting me know what kind of training to expect. 
And Barnes? He just sits there, glowering, through the entire thing. I don’t understand why he doesn’t leave the moment I’m told I can move freely about the Tower because he certainly looks like he’d rather be anywhere but here. Every few minutes, our eyes meet across the table and a jolt runs through my body. I’m resolutely ignoring any lingering feelings from the kitchen incident, but it’s still hard to pretend that there isn’t this… tension, I guess, between us. Whether it’s lust or hate, I can’t be sure. Either way, I don’t have the space or inclination to act on the former, so I’m going to make it the latter. I start meeting his glances with glares, and he returns them with his own.
We finally get to the issue of my degree - once I tell Steve and Tony that I’m in the final stages of completing my dissertation, they both seem relieved to know that it shouldn’t be an arduous process. Tony tells me he’s already contacted Culver to arrange for someone to take over my classes, and I try not to look too disappointed when I realize I won’t get to teach anymore. 
He hands over my shiny new StarkPhone and talks me through it - it’s more intuitive than my old one, so it’s easy enough to pick up. He gives me my new phone number, ports over all my old data quickly, and talks me through using it to communicate confidentially with other members of the team.
“So you can be honest, but be selective in who you tell, okay?” Steve reminds me as I take my new phone. 
I look down at it and scroll through my contacts absently. Tony wiggles his eyebrows and looks over my shoulder. “Who you gonna call first - your boyfriend?”
I elbow him out of my space. “I don’t have one of those, which the invasive file you have on me probably already told you.”
He leans back in. “It did, I’m just checking.” He looks over at Barnes with raised eyebrows, but the Soldier only glares back.
“Don’t worry, Grumps, you won’t have to chaperone any dates,” I tell Barnes.
Tony smirks, looking me up and down. “Don’t sell yourself short, kid - once the press gets a look at our shiny new Avenger, you’ll have to beat them off with a stick. Or, you know, just shred their eardrums.”
I scoff. “Yeah, right. And to answer your question, who I call is none of your business so please stop peeking over my shoulder.” I elbow him again.
Steve grimaces. “Sorry, but we actually do need to know, for security purposes.”
I straighten. “Oh, right, I should’ve guessed that. Well, you won’t have much to worry about with me - I’ll just call my friend Meg.” They all look at me expectantly. “I guess I should probably call my mom, too - unless one of you wants to?” I ask hopefully. Tony and Steve chuckle, but Barnes gives me a piercing look that leaves me wondering if mind-reading comes with his bionic arm.
Tony pats my shoulder. “You’re on your own, kid.”
Tell me something I don’t know.
