#he’s very cute but I would like to read my book XD

[ravensilversea]

I have a conundrum. My book keeps intermittently turning brown, stripey, and furry and also purrs instead of containing words for me to read. This obviously makes reading it difficult

[longagoitwastuesday]

I don't know how I got here, but I've stumbled upon the chapter "The thesis of Aramis" and after reading it I must admit that unfortunately I want him carnally.

I feel like if this happened to Naoya after he let his hair go natural he’d probably be booking an appointment to the salon that day XD

Heya anon!!!

OMG HAHAHAHAHAHAH I love how we all agree that Naoya dyeing his hair black once his roots show (or just not dyeing it at all) is like a bad idea lmao. Just like the top comment said, it was the only thing keeping the family together 😂😂😂😂

Anyways, this was such a treat to write. I'm always down for domestic yn/naoya shenanigans + our adorable naomi!!!!

warnings: none. fluff. naoya regrets his life. lol.

Happy reading!!!

Naoya deciding to dye his hair completely black wasn’t one that he chose personally, it was simply… a consequence of his surroundings.

He’d been out on missions for too long, that his dye naturally began to fade out, showing his dark roots and prompting him with the idea of…

“All black?” you ask; both were on videocall when he suggested the idea—Naoya stationed in some remote village he was deployed in, still days away from returning. “I haven’t seen you wear that look since… forever I think.”

“Naomi definitely hasn’t seen me like that.” He comments, and at the revelation, you gasp.

“Oh my god, that is true!” you smile. “Do you think she’ll notice? I don’t think so, she’s still pretty young… Though I know she’ll be happy to see her handsome papa again! Black hair, or not.”

Naoya smiles.

“I can’t wait to come back home either; it’s been horrible without my two princesses.”

“Well, hurry back! We’re tired of waiting for you…”

Naoya takes it seriously when you tell him to hurry, quick to finish whatever mission he was in before catching the earliest flight back home, but not without making one last stop; he usually dyed his hair by his own at that point, was considering so too…

But he wanted to make this a special surprise. It had been quite some time since he last mentioned it, so he’s sure you’ve probably forgotten about it by now, thus setting up the perfect opportunity to carry out his plans.

To say that he was excited about this whole ordeal was an understatement. Naoya was really looking forward to this change, and all because of one simple reason: Naomi’s reaction.

Ever since his little bundle of joy was born, life had become far more enjoyable, even with the littlest, most mundane of things. All had become a thrilling adventure he couldn’t wait to share with his daughter.  

Naoya never thought he’d ever come to enjoy the wonders of being a father, always thought it to be tedious, boring. And most importantly, fated to be with someone he wouldn’t care for.

But then you happened, and with time, little Naomi, completely changing his perspective of life.

Whatever thing he did, the sight of his adorable baby girl would cross his mind, wondering what kind of reaction she’ll have for the new toy he’ll bring her after the mission, her cute babbles whenever telling her of his day, as if she knew what he was saying…

Or in this scenario, if Naomi would be able to recognize him after completely dyeing his hair black.

A part of him hopes—no, knows so, because he knows his baby girl to be very attentive, and there’s something sweet about a daughter being able to distinguish her father through all circumstances.

Luckily, he won’t have to wait much to get his answer, for as soon as his hair was done, he went straight back to the estate, not even bothering to let you know beforehand (just to add to the surprise), eventually making a beeline to you, quickly taking you in his arms before you could even muster a hello and kissing you—it’s only when he pulls away that you’re able to acknowledge him, and his new hairstyle.

“Naoya! You dyed your hair black!” you bubbled, threading your fingers into his locks to relish both its softness and nostalgic color. “And your home too!”

“I did.” He smiles, leaning in to steal another kiss. “I’m home.”

“Ah, I missed you so much.” You sigh, resting your head against his chest. “Please tell me you’re not leaving until much, much later.”

“2 weeks.” He says sorrowfully—it’s more than last time, but still…

“…Well, let’s not talk about that anymore—let’s focus instead on our time together, with our adorable baby who missed you so much!”

“Where is she?” Naoya asks with unparalleled enthusiasm. “Is she awake?”

“With my staff, and yes, she just woke up actually!” You say, grabbing his hand and guiding him back to your shared bedroom. “Let’s go, now—I want to see her reaction to your new hair color!”

Just as you foretold, little Naomi was happily enjoying the company of your loyal staff, Mariya, Haruko and Hitomi, who treated your adorable baby as she were their own niece, taking her wherever they could when you’d unfortunately end up caught up with duties, which Naomi didn’t mind, if anything, she was all to happy to be spoiled rotten (even more) by her aunts!

And how could she not? With all their gifts and antics, Naomi was nothing if not overjoyed to be the center of their attention!

Yet, nothing they did could ever compare t0 the happiness of seeing her father return home, the papa that you always made sure to remind her loved her very much, even through the distance that is often imposed by his job.

Once the family is reunited, your staff bids their regards to Naoya before leaving, allowing much needed privacy for the sweet moment that is to occur next. they leave to give them much needed privacy,

“Naomi!” Naoya says as soon as he laid eyes on his little bundle of joy, swooning when noticing the cute romper you’d dressed her up in, the same one he got her a few weeks ago: the yellow one with a little duck stitched in the front pocket. “My little mochi, I’m home!”

He reaches for her, extending his arms to pick her up and give her all the kisses and hugs he’s been holding onto since he left, completely forgetting about the reaction he so desperately wanted to see—

But the moment he does so, Naoya feels his baby tense up, a soft whine escaping her lips as her chubby little hands attempted to push him away, a reaction so different to her usually bubbly, welcoming personality, that his heart couldn’t help but shatter a bit in return.

“What’s wrong, dumpling?” He asks. “Did you miss me that much?”

“Nnngah!” Naomi cries as she attempts to push him away once more, but Naoya persists, that is, until a sharp wail makes him realize it was something graver.

“Naomi, why are you crying??” Naoya frets, attempting to comfort her by gently rocking her—to no avail. “Is it your diaper?? Or are you hungry??”

It takes you a few moments to understand what’s happening, but when you do, you’re not even able to laugh about it, too preoccupied instead in comforting your poor crying daughter, who was upset from innocently confusing her papa for Naobito’s son #27.

She shouldn’t be blamed—couldn’t. Naomi was still in the age where she has difficulties setting apart those that similarly look like her father, after all, like the rest of Naoya’s brothers.

Naomi was only able to calm down after you took her back into her arms, the only person she seemed to recognize at the moment, gently bouncing her until her cries eventually diminished.

But the damage was done, and as soon as your little mochi was placed back onto her crib, too tired out from crying, Naoya rushes straight to the exit, mind set on one thing:

“I’m dying my hair back blonde.”

“Naoya—It’s just a matter of her getting used to you!” you gasp, attempting to stop him. “You don’t need to do that!”

“I don’t want her to cry because of me ever again.” He insists. “I’ve already arranged the appointment; I’m heading out now. And while I’m at it, I’ll also buy Naomi more toys, hopefully she’ll be able to forgive me.”

“That won’t—” you wish to push the idea out of Naoya’s mind, tell him that perhaps he’s exaggerating, but you could see the sadness in his eyes, that notion that he genuinely believed needed this to feel better about himself.

So, you let him, giving him a kiss while asking him to not to do anything outrageous; Naoya’s spending could be quite… excessive when upset, you’d know that better than anyone. Although something tells you it might be worse now that Naomi is involved…

Nonetheless, by the time Naoya returns with his hair effectively back to blonde, Naomi is now able to identify him as her beloved papa, cheerfully reaching out for him to receive her well-deserved dosage kisses and hugs, as well as all the toys he brought along to ease his mistakes—it’s almost like that unspeakable incident never occurred! Much to Naoya’s delight.

And while upsetting at the moment, this is an anecdote you’d eventually recount with humor in the future, about the time Naomi didn’t recognize her father because of his hair dye, and how Naoya almost went to the end of the world to redeem himself.

Though both would deny it, of course. Thankfully, you have a good memory.

I'm sorry I had to call Naoya Naobito's son #27 but let's be real, they all look alike (In my hc that is) HOW COULD NAOMI NOT CONFUSE HIM? HAHAHAHAH Poor man, well, thankfully Naomi forgave him once he fixed his mistake :) you won't see Naoya with black hair anymore, though you'd come to regret not being able to "relieve the good ol days" 😳😳😳😳

Anyways, thank you sososos much for sending in this I LOVE DOMESTIC AU WITH NAOYA our redeemed little dork. Ah, I really needed this after last chapter's ordeal 😏 keep 'em coming 🤭

Now, take care, and hope to see you soon!!

[ryusuisloveinterest]

Hi! Could I request something please?

I loved your birthday party drabble!

So could I request some fluff please? For Ryusui, Tsukasa and Ukyo ( separately) please! Feel free to drop a character here if you want!

I was thinking about their reaction when crush offering their lap for them to rest ( idk, for whatever reason they are very tired XD). Bonus point if crush's feelings about the boys are mysterious.

Thank you ! If you don't feel like writting this, is ok too. Take your time!

Hi girlypop! Thank you so much for the request I got really excited writing these! I assumed you wanted a Drabble so that’s how I wrote them lol. Anyway I didn’t write all of them in the stone world so I specified next to the name. Let me know if it’s ok. Thank you and I hope you enjoy!

Ryusui, Tsukasa, Ukyo, laying on their crushes lap

Ryusui: pre-petrification or 4d science 

You’ve worked for the Nanami Conglomerate for a while, helping with basic tasks like cooking, cleaning, things like that. You first met Ryusui when Francois had to take a sick day, hearing you would get double the pay you took up the offer to be Ryusui’s personal maid/butler for a day or two. It’s safe to say Ryusui absolutely adores you! Even when Francois returned, Ryusui HAD to have you by his side, even if you weren’t “assisting” him. One day you were on your brake, sitting in a room for the servants to relax in (which Ryusui made such was super nice for you) when you hear a door slam from the other side. You close the book you were reading to see-you guessed it- Ryusui, looking more tired than he usually is. “Welcome home master Ryusui.” You smile at him. His face lights up, not looking nearly as tired as he was before. “(Y/n)! Thank God your beautiful face is here!” He says while walking over to you, his head placed on your shoulder. You blush only a little, getting used to Ryusui’s clingyness. “A long day sir?” You chuckle. “Yes! There were a bunch of boring meetings and I could barely work on my ships, no matter how much I desired to!” He says, huffing cutely. His arms start to tighten around your waist as he buries his head deeper into your shoulder. “Why don’t you get some rest?” You suggest to him. “I wanna stay with you…” Giggling ever so slightly, you propose an idea that makes his heart go crazy. “Then why don’t you rest your head on my lap for a while hm?” He looks you in the eye, so excited by your sudden suggestion. “I’d love that (y/n)! Now that’s something I desire!” Giggling once more you barley get to sit down before Ryusui practically tackles your lap. Your hand cups his cheek with a couple of fingers tangled in his hair. His smile fills up the room as his eyes flutter shut. Right before he falls asleep, you hear him whisper, “I love you (y/n)…” As the blush on your face darkens slightly, you can’t help but respond with what you’re heart tells you, “I love you too master Ryusui…”

Tsukasa: pre-petrification

Tsukasa just got done winning one of his fights. You walk into his locker room, about to congratulate him on his win when you notice him passed out on one of the benches. Sighing, you walk over to him, carefully picking up his head and placing it on your lap. ��Moron. You have a press conference in an hour.” You pick up strands of his hair and begin braiding them together. It could have been your imagination, but you could swear he had some sort of smirk on his face. For about 40 minutes you sit there, watching his chest rise and fall, hearing his quiet snores and smelling the salt of his sweat. Not even thinking, you lean your face over his, only inches apart. As you slowly lean in, an alarm goes off, causing you to raise you head quickly. Tsukasa groans, slowly opening his eyes to his favorite sight. “(Y/n)..?” “Morning sleepyhead.” Tsukasa’s face reddens as he sits up from your lap. You didn’t know why he was so nervous, after all you’d let him lay on your lap when you were kids.“I-uh…I have to get ready for the conference….” He rushes up and walks towards the showering area. “Tsukasa!” You call out causing him to turn his head. “You did a great job today! I’ll be right here if you need anymore rest!” He turns his head away from you, his long hair covering his blushing face. “Thank you (y/n), that means the world to me….”

Ukyo: Kingdom of Science or Tsukasa Empire

After a long day of hunting Ukyo arrives back around 10 at night, making your worried self finally feel at ease. Some of the men help carry the fresh meat as Ukyo groggily walks to his quarters. To his surprise, you were there fixing his bed and cleaning up a bit. You look up at him and smile. “Welcome back Ukyo! The hunt go well?” You speak quietly, not trying to hurt his delicate ears. “Yeah, it went better than usual.” He yawns, rubbing his eyes. You smile at him as you sit in his bed. You pat you lap, “why don’t you get rest?” He’s embarrassed at the clear suggestion that he lay on your lap, but who is he kidding? He wants nothing more than to relax, and being able to sleep on YOUR lap is just a bonus. He walks over to you and gently lays his head down. “I’m not heavy am I?” He asks, making sure he’s not making you uncomfortable. “I’m fine, don’t worry about me. Just get some sleep ok?” I slightly nods, closing his eyes. You take off his hat and rub his head making him fall asleep faster. Letting out a soft sigh he sleeps soundly mumbling out one last goodnight. “Thank you (y/n), im glad you’re here with me…”

I just melt into a happy puddle while reading it! And during a day my mind often drifts to think and theorise about your work!

you can absolutely give me whatever ideas you'd like, i welcome the excuse to chat n make up cool fantasy stuff😊✨ thanks for the ask, i am absolutely squeezing you in a hug rn!!

i gotcha more fun There Are Many Benefits facts ;3

🪸 Sun and Moon coexist calmly and happily. they are very close and their bickering isn't in seriousness. so if you join in, at any moment they might exchange a glance and gleefully gang up on you at the drop of a hat

🪸 Meryn can see a deeper range of certain colours than the mers can, like the difference between the white of Sun's eyes and his paler pupils. so Sun thinks he's being sneaky when he looks at Meryn without moving his head, but obviously Meryn can tell that he's staring dead at them. they find it funny

🪸 after Meryn revealed in chapter 16 that they intend to build BON-BON a body, he promptly spent the rest of the night searching up cool robot images and brainstorming stuff to put in it. he 100% has not thought about the sheer work that's going to go into making just a regular body, nor the fact that Meryn would never ever trust him with rocket launchers

🪸 Sun and Moon are aware on some level that Humans Wear Clothes (though how they know this is a spoiler!) but they don't fully understand the minutiae of the when and the why humans keep covered. so, just enough to get flustered when they're removed lol

🪸 Meryn was considering getting piercings before their hand webbing was removed. now they have lost their taste for any permanent body modifications

🪸 BON-BON spies on the Glamrock team's meetings, but not as much as he used to. he gets bored easily and a lot of what they discuss references previous tasks and goals he also didn't really listen to when they were first brought up. as a result, he misses out on a lot of stuff that would make for juicy gossip-and-mystery-solving content to share with Meryn😅

🪸 Sun thinks that Meryn's 'nest' (bed) is tragically bare. it must be because they have no one to take care of them! he has plans to rectify that

🪸 Meryn typically responds with a one word 'okay' when they're agreeing without meaning it

🪸 BON-BON thinks the Glamrock team's apparent bleeding-heart stance on AI is just performative, and that if the time comes to ever put those beliefs into action they would fall back on reporting him as sentient

🪸 Vanessa only followed Meryn's example of using he/him pronouns for Sun when he spoke like a human, by mimicking her words

🪸 it's often obvious to Sun and Moon when Meryn doesn't understand something, and they find it amusing to call them on it, or let it play out if Meryn doesn't express their confusion. they think it's cute

🪸 As of chapter 16, Meryn is getting sick of Monty helping himself to their food and drink and has a plan to punish him for it >:3

🪸 BON-BON's enjoyment of shopping is more to do with the new experience of getting to express himself through his appearance than fashion itself. he's still learning what he likes and how he wants to present himself

🪸 Sun and Moon love making Meryn laugh, as they don't actually laugh or smile by themself often. but tbf all of their expressions are super interesting to the mers

Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint Read Through

Ch 32-52

Beginning: Ch1-10

(I think this was my favourite read through so far XD)

I pushed to punch this asshole's face. I didn't understand. This wasn't the 'third regression' Yoo Joonghyuk that I knew.

>KDJ: Look at me YJH, look into my eyes. *grabs his shoulder* This isn’t you. Get the fuck out of this safe zone so I can be safe.

I was bleeding from minor wounds and the shoulders struck by the grolls' horns were red with blood.

>Reading it in the novel feels so much worse than the manhwa for some reason 😭

"You can become much stronger with me than with him. You still won't go?" "Yes. I won't." "…Stupid kid."

>oh he’s so mad lmfao

"I only use it on men." "Oh my."

>…Dokja buddy let me hold your hand when I say this. You are a homose- *gets run over by a car*

"I know what I know. Of course I don't know. I'm just talking to myself."

>…huh?

If my guess was right, our damn regressor would be on the 'sunfish route¹'.

>WHOOP he said the thing!

"Hey, why are you talking to Heewon-ssi but ignoring me?" "Uh… that, I'm a bit weak to older females."

>I…IS EVERYONE IN THIS BOOK QUEER?

[The constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' likes your desire to rehabilitate a fallen friend.]

>Oh I bet she does

"I saw it in a book when I was a child." "When you were a child?"

>I love Gilyoung with all my heart but he can be so suspicions sometimes

I thought of how Lee Hyunsung's eyes would shine with loyalty towards me and already felt warm.

>AWWWW

Mjolnir was lightly lifted by Lee Gilyoung's hands. Lee Gilyoung swung the hammer around before looking at me.

>So Gilyoung is Thor, k ok cool

[The constellation 'Secretive Plotter' hates spoilers.]

>DUDE SAME

A novel reader recently spoiled something huge in my comments and I wanted to tear my hair out like WHYTFBNHGGBBN

In fact, sunfish were very durable creatures. They died because they were vulnerable to stress, not because they were weak.

>someone get this man a therapist. wont that save the world? some stress balls and anti-depressants and he’ll be unstoppable.

"Alone?"

「 I… 」

"What did I come here for if you are alone?"

>i love this scene so much 🥹

"It sounds like you know a lot." "I know him the best in this world."

>That’s…Dokja you’re making this too easy

"I came here because of you! Why are you alone? We are together!"

"No, wait a minute."

"I've always been around you! Don't lose hope! Think of the child!"

"That isn't what I…"

>HAHAHAHA I’M DYING

"…Indeed. Don't worry, I'll give him this love letter!"

>lmaooo i love this scene holy shit XD

"I am Yoo Joonghyuk."

>oh here we go

"But Yoo Joonghyuk-nim should've realized it from your past regressions. Even if you have an outstanding miracle, you alone can't fight against the disasters that will come."

>The first grader is trying to teach the guy with a phd in yjh lmao

–Then tonight will be a hot night?

–H-Hot…?

>Poor Hyunsung someone protect this man 😭

These jerks, they only got the cute side of Yoo Joonghyuk in the beginning…

>EXCUSE ME????? CUTE?????? DOKJA MY MAN GET UP

[faislittlewhiteraven]

So seen a few 'What if the ISAT cast were in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon' posts...

And I'm gonna put my hat in the ring because darn it I've been thinking about this for over a week now and I want to infect others with these ideas.

Siffren: Hisuian Zorua - White, adorable AND comes free with a neck ruff to hide their face in, but well, doesn't it fit Siff extremely well lore wise too? Just a cute little guy that's a remnant of a home and life forcefully taken away, Normal enough to be among the living with no issues but also Ghost because there's something missing... Something lost that shapes them, tears at them but they just can't let go... Also they eat a lot, have a good amount of mischief in their nature and use 'illusions' for self protection so like. It's a perfect fit really~ XD (Also the 'red' aspects during the Vs Friends fight makes me wonder if in the PMD version of ISaT Siffrin is evolving so wrong somehow that the universe is breaking and a huge chunk of the fight is the party basically mashing B button in utter terror~ XDDD)

Isabeau: Ditto - No joke, Isabeau had me really stumped for ages because what kind of pokemon species goes from nerd to buff to eventually somewhere in the middle during their evolution line but then I realized 'Wow I'm an idiot. There's a pokemon all about Change that can be any form right over there!' and thus Isa-Ditto was born in my mind. I like to think he's almost always in the form of a Marchoke, Zangoose or Scrafty or something that to the others is big and buff but Isa's warm smiling ditto face always stops him from ever looking intimidating, and back in the 'nerd' days Isa probably stuck to being a Gothita/Gothorita, if only because they're about the only mon I can think of with braids and they do seem like a good form if one wants others to stay away so they can focus on studying and stuff...

Mirabelle: Minccino/Cinccino - Ok, most of my reasoning for this one is because Mira visually reminds me of the Minccino line (those eyes <3 And her ribbon! <3) but like, she IS pretty studious and helpful and probably cleans up after everyone and that's Cinccino as anything to me, plus the sheer way this mon blitzs with Skill Link... IDK I just really feel the line suits her.

Odile: Kanto Persian or Purugly - After realizing Siff, Isa and Mira were all Normal types I decided to make it a thing and since under this logic Odele couldn't be a Kadabra (as was my first instinct), the idea of her being this big old book reading cat affectionately rolling her eyes at everyone else's nonsense just had so much appeal <3 Leaning Persian if only because its design matches her visuals better but the thought of her as a Purugly feeling comfortable enough around the others she doesn't puff up her fur via her tail around them is pretty cute/very 'seems standoff-ish but is secretly affectionate Odile' so I'm still struggling to choose between them.

Bonnie: Zigzagoon - Bonnie was probably the hardest to pick out because there were so many possibilites (Aipom for the mischief? Munchlax for the cooking/food vibes? Oh but what about Meowth for their weird hug face???). But then I realized pokemon of all sorts could do all of those things and what really stands out about Bonbon is their 'NPC somehow on the big adventure and doing their best' vibes so a spunky little Zigzagoon using their 'Gluttony' expertise in food to 'Pick Up' the party's sprits felt really fitting (also they way they dart in and out of combat with their Quick Feet just. It works you know? XD). Not sure which Zigzagoon form would be most fitting for them but currently leaning Galarian if only because Siff being weak to Bonnie fits hilariously well, it matches with Bonnie's 'desire to be edgy despite still being adorable' vibes and the mental thought of them far off in the future, all grown up and protecting their family as a big bad Obstagoon gives me a ton of warm fuzzies so yeah~ <3

Euphrasie: Lopunny - Look, it's just the hair, the affectionate personality and her being really really tall compared to the others alright? Only the party is actually Normal locked to me! X'D (I could see her as an Altaria or a Mega Ampharos as well but Lopunny just feels more 'right' somehow.)

The King: Hisuian Zoroark - . . . In my defence, he's an incarnation of malice born from the loss of his home/life with long long hair who acts as Siffrin's foil, pushes them towards 'discovering the red' and yoyos between tragically lamenting and being a ruthlessly, cruel monster who would hurt a child. There was no other option.

Loop: currently torn but leaning Cosmog/Cosmeom or Mimikyu for most of the game and Necrozma/Ultra Necrozma for the Act 6 secret fight - Finally the one non Normal type! And the fact it's the eldritch feeling Loop is kinda perfect? Helps them stand out more at least, and well you really can't beat Ultra Necrozma for 'star shaped thing that is both terrifying, potentially world ending and in immense amounts of pain'. (...Also its weak to Siff's H!Zorua and Bonnie's potential Dark type so it fits type wise also XD).

Change God: Mew - Do I really gotta explain why? (Legendary, has Transform, cute and sweet but also a little bastard, etc- It ticks all the boxes XD

So... Yeah. Those are my In Stars and Time 'what Pokemon would the main cast be' thoughts.

[moonspirit]

Reactions to Aruani baby ?!?

Chaotic, anon, chaotic xD

Armin would end up on the hospital bed next to Annie, honestly, hooked to at least 3 saline drips because he's crying so much and losing fluids. He's the only father to become an active patient in the pregnant women ward (record breaker for the most pathetic things, I'm telling you).

"Oh my god, Annie, look at her nose--that's-that's mine, and her hair is like yours, oh my god-" "Yes yes, now please stop crying for fucks' sake." "And she's a she!!! I told you it would be a girl! I told you--oh our beautiful, beautiful daughter-" "Armin. Stop. Crying. This. Instant." "A-and I'm a dad now, Annie--a *hic* a dad! A father! Me! I'm a father and she's my daught--" *machines start beeping wildly* "For fuck's sake he's going into cardiac arrest!"

Pieck is the very supportive other woman in the ward who actually knows what the fuck to do. She's seen babies before. Even looked after some. That's why when Annie's asleep and the baby's wide awake and on the verge of crying, Pieck brings out the fun games to keep baby engaged and occupied: 5D PSYCHOTIC MIND CHESS!

Connie's the morale man. Always with the good mood and great cheer. He's the bearer of no good, very bad, very terrible jokes. "Hey Annie." "?" "This means I'm technically the baby's uncle, right?" "... Sure, if you want." "Have you thought of a name yet?" "Nope." "Well... I've got a suggestion." "? Armin told me you're very bad with names and that I shouldn't listen to you." "What! That's rude! I thought of 'Denise'." "... oh. that's not half bad actually." "And then when you have another kid--a boy--, I've got a name for him too." "Really? What?" "Denephew."

(Pieck cackles so hard she ruptures a lung and ends up on the other hospital bed next to Armin).

Jean is lowkey extremely freaked out about the baby. Armin offers the baby for him to hold and he. is. freaked. out. This thing has legs!! Hands! A face! It's giggling at his hair! What! It's like a very small spider! A chubby spider! Oh... oh no, it's actually quite adorable... oh fuck, wait- how much money does he have? He should buy the baby a toy... or two... or seven... or twenty...

Reiner's already adopted the role of nanny/baby-sitter/governess what-have-you. He assures Aruani he's going to teach the baby how to read and write at the ripe age of 5 days old. He's HYPED. He's EXCITED! He's EMOTIONAL but HAPPY! This is his purpose in life! This is why he's alive! This is what Eren meant, by letting him survive! Once he sits down, coloring books and writing paper in hand, he forgets how to spell his own name in Old Eldian and then has a mental breakdown about it. (RIP marleyan language, you will haunt Reiner for the rest of eternity).

Levi doesn't care. Straight up doesn't care. That's why he has a catalogue from a high-end dressmaker hidden inside his coat pocket- because he doesn't care. No he hasn't circled the small pastel-blue baby-sized cravat. No he hasn't already put in five orders for very cute baby girl clothes and that's not the bill sticking out from his trouser pocket. Nope. He doesn't care. Babies? Tch.

[ghost-rattan]

Hello! I hope you're doing well! Can I please request romantic Fyodor, Nikolai, and Sigma (seperate) with an extremely intelligent and calculated SO (Male or gender neutral if possible pls) who looks like a cinnamon roll? Like, reader looks innocent and eccentric and easy to manipulate but that could not be further from the truth. Like reader could be playing chess with Fyodor and talking about some random nonsense, beats Fyodor at chess and just walks away like it's nothing. Also, reader LOOOVES flustering the characters because they're smart and know exactly which buttons to push to get the best results. TLDR; reader has ultimate IQ and ultimate rizz XD

S/o with high IQ (male reader)

OOO! I was so excited when I saw this ngl! Hope you like it!!!

Fyodor

He thought he could read you like a book

His sweet innocent boyfriend

He knew you where smart just didn't know that you where that smart!!

He first noticed when he was organizing a mission for one of his men

He was taking a break looking at his map with a marked out way to get in

"you know this way would be better"

he looked at you amused

"my, I seem to have missed that, what a cleaver boy you are~"

But the moment he really noticed it is when you where playing chess

he was going easy on you

"Wow! You might be handsome but you can't read the room can you"

"hmm, what do you mean mishka?"

"I can tell you are going easy on me pretty boy but I can assure you I can win with out your help"

"fine then"

you guys started again and while he was judging every move you made you where chatting to Nikolai about the circus thats coming to town

much too Fyodors surprise and annoyance you still won

"..."

"Oh! I win! But I think the acrobats will be the best! No clown can compare to you Nikoali~!"

He was so pissed off after that but he did learn not to underestimate you

After that he does play little games off wit with one another (thats how he flirts now)

Nikolai

"MY HUSBAND! You look so cute!" he tells you this everyday

"Oh My! What a complement coming from the man who is in the lead for most handsomest man ever!"

"My little cutie! I am in no need to be in any competition unless its one for your heart!"

He is a hardcore flirt so you both often have little flirt wars with each other

His pick up lines are horrible though well they are creative

while you can come up with pick up lines that always fit what you both are doing

Fyodor thinks you both are a good duo

Fyodor also likes you because when you and Nikolai attend a meeting you often have a long talk with Fyodor about a book you both where just reading (DOA book club when?)

You and Nikolai once went on a mission together and you both had to split up for a bit

when Nikolai got back to you the enemy had found you first and was trying to get you to back stab and betray Nikolai!

Nikolai hid to see what you would do

"Join me, we can take better care of you pretty boy, better than that stupid clown can~"

"really..?"

Nikolai felt his heart break

Before any thing could happen you looked at Nikolai and smiled

You honestly would have just punched the guy but you knew not to underestimate him as you knew nothing about him

so you came up with a plan by looking at your surroundings

you saw a fire extinguisher

you got up and ran to grab it

the man went to use his unknown ability

but you grabbed the extinguisher and threw it at Nikolai who used his ability to hit the man from behind leaving him on the ground dead from the blow

Sigma

(I love him sm)

He thinks he is the one who has to protect you

If he doesn't what type of boyfriend is he

The first time you visited the casino you wanted to play some of the games

he was going to rig all off them for you to be able to win

To his surprise you wanted to play black jack!

he was very surprised by how good your pokerface was

he was even more surprised by how easily you where able to win

He gets so flustered with your flirting

even before you guys started dating he would blush uncontrollably

Scared you would get manipulated by some one but once he saw a bunch of people trying to and you where able to be polite and tell them to fuck off

He often ask for your help with the casino

Honestly once he realised how smart you where he was kinda scared you would manipulate him (poor baby)

You often help new comers to the casino on how to play the games (he finds it so cute)

He wants you to teach him chess (he wants to beat fyodor)

IMAGINE THIS OK YOU VS FYODOR IN CHESS

You win and sigma just smirks in the back like that’s my boyfriend

Hi! I hope it's not a spoiler, and if it is, you're free not to respond. I don't know if this question has already been asked, but I haven't read that it has been asked, so...regarding MC, how much could you say they are socially, sentimentally or intellectually capable?

In the demo we are told that they have read books, but what kind of books? We only know about the world thanks to what we have read in those books and what our father told us?

Until now we only know our father, we have not even lived with an animal or other source of food. We have no idea about other cultures or languages, architecture or technology, malice or manipulation, social rules or customs.

So, according to what we have read so far and my understanding, we are still like a child, our MC has no idea about ANYTHING. Is it really like that? Or do we have certain knowledge that we have been told, such as sword training or gardening?

This would make for super awkward, funny or cute situations because our MC literally leaves their home to LIVE for the first time, but they have no idea what that is like in a society or hell itself. And honestly I love that? Hahahaha I imagine my MC as a complete social misfit and without any filter because of course, she doesn't know how to lie or take hints, carrying with her a small dictionary that may have been a "gift" or my own MC has created as a type of encyclopedia. Haha

And being Demisexual, any attempt at casual sex would be off the table, so perhaps the commanders of hell see my MC as a child they don't know how to deal with. XD I'm curious how they might feel or react to this?

I don't know exactly if that's possible, but I hope there is an option to be able to develop an MC that way. I hope I make myself understood and sorry for the length of my explanation.

PS: You have great talent and a lot of creativity, I also write sometimes and you have become one of my inspirations. Take care of yourself and drink plenty of water. ✨

Hi! I hope it's not a spoiler, and if it is, you're free not to respond. I don't know if this question has already been asked, but I haven't read that it has been asked, so...regarding MC, how much could you say they are socially, sentimentally or intellectually capable?

The MCs intelligence overall is base level common sense, now this may differ depending upon choices you make in the game revolving around that, but the Mortal Man taught MC a lot of things, especially with him knowing that MC was in Hell and in the Limbo. As well through the story, MC develops rather quickly and learns quickly as well.

With the use of books, MC is aware of periods and sex (though it is a very base level.)

there are a lot of things MC is unfamiliar with but that will mostly be within hell, since they know much about Earth in general, due to the mortal man's travels that described when he's first introduced.

Current status: flailing about the scenario of Azzy seeing 'Venus In Furs' on Crowley's Velvet Underground playlist and immediately starting to burble about the 1870 novel of that name by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch (and of course our horny kinky bibliophile angel has a signed first edition in his bedside table!)

(I'm tired and my brain is going squiggly on me XD)

lol @jotun-philosopher I love the idea of Aziraphale with signed first edition erotica lolololol. He so would. Never does anything in half-measures, does he? A very devoted life-long learner to any topic of interest, Aziraphale is...

Being at the core pretty vanilla doesn't mean that they haven't read everything. They have a lot of free time.😉I do think they like their top shelf erotica but are also morbidly fascinated by truly terrible porn. Aziraphale's fantasy in GO: Lockdown was the most you-can-practically-hear-the-bowchickawowwow-score thing ever to a point that it was charming lol. There's some truly terrible vintage '70s/'80s porn on VHS somewhere in the bookshop.

They can't abide Fifty Shades of Grey, though, which Crowley just laughed his way through on the couch one afternoon. Aziraphale had an advance copy from the publisher and they both had to find out what the book that four dozen people had called looking for the in the three days after it sold out at other-- often actually open-- bookshops was all about. Aziraphale put up with Crowley reading aloud especially terrible passages because he looks cute in the reading glasses he will not admit he owns even while wearing them.

I hope one of them remembered to magically lock the bedroom door at the end of S2 or they're going to come back to Muriel reading Anais Nin and having redecorated the living room with these neat sculptures that were too fun for a drawer!... Crowley just standing there staring at the seven different rubber ducks standing in the morning sun of the window on the top of Aziraphale's desk. No wonder why the phone is ringing off the hook and Crowley has a text from Nina that just reads: 'Thought you said they didn't know anything about running a business :D'

Reading Castle in the Air to out loud to my housemates (pt. 2/2)

Picking up in Chapter 14-ish:

The djinn: "He first ordered me to steal a certain moving castle belonging to a wizard in this land of Ingary."

Housemate #1: "Oh my. Howl is furious right now." Me: "Yes, yes he is."

The genie is afraid of heights! I had forgotten about that detail. I don't think the housemates picked up on it mwahaha.

(I'm actually a bit frustrated now, because I feel certain that it came up in HMC that Howl is afraid of heights, and now I can't find where that was.)

Also the carpet being so smug that Abdullah is complimenting it while the genie is just wailing irately over both heights and having to listen to Abdullah flatter the carpet is just… it's them. It's very obvious that it's them.

All right, time to finish the rest of the book in one night, because Stuff Is Happening now.

Lettie: *realizes that Midnight is Sophie*. The housemates: "What?!!"

The housemates: "But that means Howl is Whippersnapper!" Me: *actually stops reading for like three minutes laughing uncontrollably*

The housemates: "Oh no, Abdullah's going to try to help with the wards and stuff is going to go wrong."

Sophie: "I have no idea where Howl is." The housemates: "What?!"

The housemates: "Wait, Michael must be Whippersnapper!" Sophie: *immediately clarifies that Michael left before the djinn showed up*. The housemates: *audible confusion*

*magic mirrors show Morgan*. The housemates: "They had a baby?!"

It honestly is interesting, though, because technically the reader has no proof and no reason to assume that Sophie and Howl had a kid between HMC and Castle, aside from the starting assumption that Whippersnapper is in fact Midnight's kitten. I hadn't thought of it but I can see why the housemates got tripped up on that.

Sophie basically scolds the air into letting them breathe properly on the way up to the castle and it's such a Sophie thing to do. Also it reminds me of a post about some old rain-spell that was basically scolding the clouds and about that being a Sophie-esque thing and I need to find that post and reblog it.

Sophie and Howl both hate heights. This is deeply entertaining xD

Sophie's ongoing commentary on which parts of the castle used to be the bathroom, or the broom cupboard, or something else, is just too much fun. The housemates seem to think so as well :D

There is so much screaming in the last few chapters and it is so much fun to read aloud but also my voice is probably going to regret it tomorrow.

After Flower-in-the-Night convinces the djinns to send the cook and his dog to Valeria:

Both housemates: "Wait!"

Housemate #2: "It's Howl!"

Housemate #1: "What? No, it's the squid maker guy!"

(Housemate #2 just really wants Howl back. Frankly I don't blame her.)

"Abdullah thought the metal pulley noise Sophie used to make as Midnight was actually nicer than the noise she was making now." Housemate #2: *promptly starts imitating an angry cat*

Sophie: *talks the curtains into being soundproof*

And she thinks she's not a powerful witch? She basically can make anything true just by saying that it is true.

So, all of the relationships in this books are literally love at first sight, aside from the already established ones like Howl and Sophie. And that's a little… I need to not actually stop and think about that, because if I do I'll inevitably get frustrated about unrealistic relationships. So. Not thinking about that, the soldier/Justin and Beatrice are pretty cute, and I appreciate that, even in what's basically a "love at first sight" trope, they fell for each other's characters and not their appearances. It's refreshing.

The Princess of High Norland hires Jamal! *giggles in Has Read House of Many Ways*

Flower: "And how many young ladies have you kissed by now?" Housemates: "Of course her thoughts would be so simple."

Flower-in-the-Night is extremely dramatic. That is all I will say on that. But I kind of relate, honestly.

Jamal: *patting Abdullah on the head and calling him "good dog"*. The housemates: *dying laughing*

The climax has so much going on. If I thought HMC had a convoluted climax I was wrong. Castle is much more chaotic.

"Finally [Hasruel] folded his great wings and became a dog himself." The housemates die laughing, and I have to stop reading the book to catch my breath, because I barely got through that paragraph.

Just. The dog. Jamal's dog. We love him. He is an excellent dog, even if he bites everyone (because he bites everyone).

It's interesting to see Abdullah's progression from fully adhering to the manners of Zanzib, to the point where he kicks Jamal to shut him up without a second thought.

*not me pinching my nose to more accurately do Hasruel's lines after he gets his nose bitten*

The neices. I do not know what to do with the neices. I am kind of exasperated by them.

"I like them much better than princesses. Why didn't I collect fat ladies instead?" Okay, someone's going to come after me for this, but this is funny.

Sophie: "Hello. My name is Sophie Hatter. You stole my husband. Prepare to die."

Sophie is just on an entire vengeful streak after she gets un-cat-ified, and it's kind of hilarious.

Sophie: *mentions Howl*. The genie: *starts making a fuss*. The housemates: *audible screams of excitement*

It's Howl!!!

The housemates are just as "what, you didn't realize?" as Sophie is.

Housemate #2: "Man, Howl was a useless genie! Sophie must be furious with him, actively sabotaging his own rescue. Why is she not yelling at him?" Me: "First: this is Howl; what did you expect? Second: you think she's not going to yell at him? This is Sophie."

Howl, holding Morgan: "My word, he's ugly!" Both housemates: "Howl!"

But also I love how nonchalant he is about his kid. I mean, he knew Morgan existed. He probably knew who Sophie and Morgan were as soon as they showed up as Midnight and Whippersnapper. He's had time to get used to the idea. So now he's just casually holding a baby while confronting a djinn. Which I love, for whatever reason.

And now, yes, my dear housemates. Back when you realized the moving castle had been stolen and said that Howl must be furious, you were absolutely correct. Why did you think the genie wanted to ruin everyone's lives?

Howl: "Calcifer must be here somewhere." The housemates: *scream Calcifer's name right along with Howl (and me)*

The carpet: *moves*. Housemate #1's eyes turn to literal saucers because she realizes: "Of course! No wonder he only responded to flattery!"

Howl and Calcifer immediately start quarrelling and, I mean, they've been quarrelling the entire book. And it's hilarious.

*a ton of foreign ambassadors show up*. The housemates: "How did they get there?" Me: "Y'know, I actually don't know that one…"

"'Do you know me?' Howl asked. Abdullah bowed. 'At least as well as you know me.' 'That's what I was afraid of,' Howl said ruefully." Another grand moment of getting the housemates to crack up.

*the Sultan has a fifty-foot stake for Abdullah*. The housemates: "Oh, he increased it by ten feet!"

Housemates think Sophie's responsible for the ever-blooming bluebell wood at Abdullah and Flower's house. I'm inclined to agree.

In conclusion, the housemates were delighted by the book, and I was delighted by the entire experience of reading it out loud. We're going to start House of Many Ways now :D

Wait I almost forgot!

(You can't change my mind on this one)

[sizzlinbaconpeach]

The text connecting Chris and Jill is “戦友” or “kanyuu” which translates to “commrade in arms; war buddy”.?

in the Revelation's bio for Chris, they called him Jill's Brother-in-arms.?

So they don't have feelings for each other?

https://www.tumblr.com/chirikalovesjill/34500920927/where-did-this-picture-come-from-please-anyone

Hello Anon! I want to start off by saying that it's okay if you don't ship Chris and Jill romantically - not everyone does. I mentioned in a previous post how I can certainly see how others would only view their relationship as platonic or coworkers. Unfortunately, the link in your question does not work so I'm sorry I can't respond to that in particular. And I am not trying to sow any discontent or attacking, I'm merely responding and enjoying my preferred ship. I hope you can understand. If we can all stay positive and respectful that would be greatly appreciated. ^_^ Chris and Jill have been fighting BOW's since the very first game. Actual canon is that they survived through the whole mansion together. They've always protected each other. So 'comrade in arms', 'war buddy, 'brother-in-arms', 'partner', 'bestest friend', 'kindred spirits', 'love of my life' are all titles they would/could use to address each other.

Also, in RE1 original, Chris and Jill were written to be romantically interested in each other. In a recent interview, the live-action actor for RE1 Chris stated that he wanted to remain as respectful as possible to Jill's actress as she was much younger than him and he knew they were supposed to be romantically linked in the story. Source: ROE Plays RESIDENT EVIL 1 w/ Original Chris Redfield (Charlie Kraslavsky)

And this cute song that plays when they are reunited: Long Lost Friend Long Lost Friend Revisited - I love how bittersweet this is, very fitting In my mind, there is definitely some romantic sweetness to this song. But Capcom likes to keep them ambiguous or seems to want to retcon them, so I don't know. Ship them or don't. Doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. I just like how mature their relationship seems - built on lasting trust and respect. Even in Death Island there were ambiguous hints of something more between them. Like, Chris staring at a smiling Jill, backlit by a beautiful setting sun, seems kind of romantic to me. ... Only to fist bump her seconds later. Guess he wanted to keep it professional and clean in front of his sister XD

Before I got into Resident Evil (Biohazard), I never really knew about any 'ships'. I had vague memories of RE2 (Cleon bby) and RE5 (my unknowing teenage self actually shipped Sheva and Chris!), but it wasn't until I actually replayed the games as an adult and explored more of the extended lore that I became a Valenfield fan (and unexpectedly, less of a Cleon shipper). And what cemented it for me even more was the supplemental RE5 guide translations!

I highly recommend any Valenfield shipper to read it here. (scroll down a little more than half way on the page to find the STORY section. It's after the different colored text timeline.)

Some quotes from this official guide book:

... Referred to as "the BSAA's ace", Chris has a brilliant track record preventing many bioterror attacks, but Chris' chest is filled with an indescribable emptiness. Many comrades have been sacrificed to repair the errors of fools. Even if the world's saved, these friends will never return. He had lost his irreplaceable former partner. ...

... Chris has nothing against having a female partner. In fact, the partner he regarded as irreplaceable was a female too. She's the perfect person whom Chris can totally trust and rely on, someone whom he believes is what he needed to complete any mission. Chris felt their teamwork was like an eagle able to escape from biohazardous danger. ...

... Chris is staring intently at a statue of a sleeping beauty. He's like a person looking at his lover through a mirror, where the other side of the mirror's a different dimension. ... The image displayed on the PDA screen issued by the BSAA isn't very good quality. The faint face is illuminated by a weak light, ... Despite that, Chris is able to recognise the person. He's been chasing this lead all the while, just so he can repair the missing piece of his heart. This can't be a mistake, nor an illusion. This is a fact. ... It's Jill, his old partner who sacrificed herself and jumped off a cliff in order to save Chris. Due to Jill's absence ever since, the BSAA have removed her from duty. But two years later, there's finally a sign that shows she may be alive after all, and this sign's appearing right in front of her partner who refuses to believe she's dead. The reason why Chris, who was from BSAA North American branch, was hoping to join this operation within Kijuju, was because he'd obtained some sort of lead leaked by Irving on the black market while he was looking for Jill. ...

... Jill, with her antibodies, has been administered P30--- Gifted with superhuman abilities, she's been given a powerful drug that controls her mind too. This evil drug is continuously injected into her body, torturing her to no end. Just as Wesker intended, Jill's receiving hell-like suffering. "I'm begging you, kill me!" ... Wesker's instruction to Jill before he leaves, which is to kill Chris who has finally come for her, plays mercilessly in her mind like an echo. The painful, unbearable order's destroying Jill mentally, and she's begging with her mind for her old partner, Chris, to end her suffering. "Don't worry about me! If this goes on I'll only end up killing both of you! Shoot me, please!" Despite that, Chris refuses to give up. Chris screams like a beast at the brainwashed Jill. He promises that even if it means giving up his life, he's going to free his partner with whom he has finally reunited, from her curse.

But again, I believe Capcom will keep their relationship more ambiguous and open to interpretation - I think they want to keep all potential shippers content. And they certainly seem to be moving towards a more 'just a good friend/co-worker' angle than before.

Which, in my opinion, cheapens the over arcing story (RE1 - 5) and relationship - but that's for another post to ramble about, I suppose.

No hard feelings if you're not a Valenfield shipper. They have a good friendship and I can totally understand if people only see them as that and nothing more.

🍀Justice For Lake!🍀 - Total Drama Viewer Reacts to Disventure Camp Season 2 Episode 6 “Broke & Back Mountain”

BOW DOWN TO YOUR SAVIOR.

HE SLAYED RIGHTFULLY.

Anyway, we're back. I know it's been awhile. I've been busy doing other things.

But don't worry. We're back now. We're cool. I didn't die.

At least I can watch this show more peacefully, so I'm not bombarded with bigotry every minute! I can hear my conscience again!

Because yeah, last episode's elimination, subverted my expectations in a way that pleased me.

I'm very interested in what's gonna happen next, considering Yul is out now. I mean, slayed or not, James is still an antagonistic character, so I'm ASSUMING he's taking the mantle as villain.

That and we have Krystal as a villain already.

So let's get into this episode:

Oh, no recap this time? We're just gonna...

Aw, I wanted to watch Yul die again :(

Awwwwww, Aiden and his bear, that's so cute ❤️

Why you sleeping with earrings?

Uuuuuuhhhh... why are you two sleeping together? What is going on here?

I guess you guys figured things out.

...

AND NOW I'M EVEN MORE CONFUSED AS TO WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?

ARE THEY IN A POLYCULE? IS THAT WHAT IT IS?

😂

Riya has my exact reaction XD

"What in Bollywood's name did I witness last night?!"

"I told them not to bring it up until the game was over."

Wait, so why were y'all in the same bed?

That's not a 'friends' thing to do.

So Hunter still hasn't come out yet.

"Fortunately, Yul had to leave the game due to a medical emergency."

Yeah, FORTUNATELY XD

I love that nobody misses him at all.

"Eh, you know, we don't know if he made it or not, but he was kind of a douche, so I should be worried, but I'm just not, you know...?"

"Well, I hope he doesn't get well soon."

XD

YEAH SEE?! XD

DON'T WE ALL?

Idk how many Yul stans there are. All the Yul stans probably blocked me.

"I never liked Yul. His personality and way of expressing himself were horrible."

Why didn't you vote him out then? When you had the chance.

You could've allied with Kai or Connor, and not much about your gameplay changes.

"But all the hate he caused kept me and the girls safe. It was good strategy."

THAT'S your justification?

You and your girls weren't in ANY danger. And Kai would be easy to persuade for a fourth vote. You have majority.

OH. MERGE ALREADY?!

We're only at Episode 6. GODDAMN.

Total Drama 2024 was out for BLOOD trying to beat this.

"PreMerge speedrun! How quickly can we merge our characters?"

"As you may have noticed, we are in the middle of nowhere."

XD

"WELCOME TO THE VOID!!!"

"Excuse me?!"

What's wrong with supplies?

"HOW DARE YOU ENSURE THE PEOPLE'S SAFETY!!"

"Aiden and James are going together."

Oh goddammit. AGAIN?!

I mean yeah James didn't kill Aiden, but THAT'S THE BAR.

I would've loved to see Aiden and Lake pair up tbh.

As friends, obviously.

"Is there a problem with the signal here?"

I'm glad I have subtitles on so I know he said signal.

I heard 'SIGH-NAL'

'SINAL'

Idk, I'm not gonna question it in case this is an accent thing.

"You are in the middle of forest. There is no Internet here."

I thought that'd be obvious. XD

Oh he's gonna LOSE IT

"What?! What year are we in?!"

The year of HELL.

Except I'm in the future. So...

Still hell.

"You seem to know a lot about survival."

"No big deal, I just read it in a book."

Sounds like everyone.

"Sources?"

"Uh... I read a book once. Ten years ago. So yeah, I'm an expert. I know everything there is to know about surviving-OH, HEALTHY BERRIES-*GAGS*"

"Nope. Not another one. Please no."

XD

"NO! NO MORE GIRLS! PLEASE! I DON'T WANT LOVE, PLEASE!!!"

"Can you believe it?! What kind of low budget show leaves its participants without Internet access?!"

BUDDY. IT'S THE WOODS.

I'm surprised you even HAVE wifi at camp.

James is just gonna be complaining the whole time.

"We're in the middle of the woods, James. What did you expect?"

Yeah, exactly. Even the other characters are calling this out.

"Look, the faster we get to camp, the faster you can get back online."

Aiden's like, "So PLEASE, shut your mouth and stop staring at me with predatory eyes. Then maybe I'll get you your precious wifi back. If I don't smash the phone first-"

"I had some differences with James, but what he did for me in the previous ceremony makes me believe that, deep down inside, he's not that bad."

"I mean, HE KILLED YUL FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. How can I NOT respect the hell out of him?!"

"Now that the teams are dissolved, I guess you'll go back to your alliance with Lake and I'll be alone again."

Awww, Riya, honey, no...

"If I make an alliance with Lake, you will be also part of it."

ABSOLUTELY.

BEST GIRLS ALLIANCE? HELLO?

Alliance of all the best girls?

"We can dominate the game together and you can beat the shit out of us in the semi-final."

Oh so you WANT to lose to Riya?

Heyo, don't tempt her to slay, Rosa. SHE'LL DO IT.

"Huh, now that you're encouraging me to slay, I think maybe I should slay, you know? Helps with my broke-ass career. People LOVE IT when people SLAY."

Awwwwww

Why is Rosa so good with everyone?

"Maybe I should go higher."

"Don't do it. You could fall and hurt yourself."

LOOK AT YOU SITTING ON THAT THIN-ASS TREE BRANCH. YOU'RE ONE TO TALK.

"Do you care about me?"

Oh... oh that's deep actually... shit...

"Well sure. You are my friend."

"Even though you threaten my senpai's attention away from me."

"Who's your senpai?"

"Good question..."

*Bi Crisis*

"I thought you were just pretending to be nice to me."

Oof. OOF. Girl, I'VE BEEN THERE.

"What? Of course not! I really like you!"

"Don't take that in wrong context! Please, no! I'm not bi! I'm just making a point!"😳

"I admit, at first I pretended to be Tess's friend a bit so Hunter wouldn't feel bad."

Oh, so...

This and the children rage thing. I question your morality a bit Allyson.

Poor Tess.

"This is the last time you take part in a challenge!"

What are you mad at him for?! Ensuring your camper's safety?

...actually that checks out.

"People want to see people suffer and fight for their lives, to see them get hurt and go through the worst of embarrassments! This is what the show is about!"

You sound like a Chris McLean child.

You sound like Chris McLean right now XD

God that's a good line though.

Has someone working at OddNations seen my Total Drama posts where I discussed this exact topic, and said "We should make THAT a major theming of our show!"

"That's why this show went so many years without being broadcast!"

HUH?

HANG ON. BIG QUESTION MARK.

What is the time gap between Season 1 and 2? Exactly?

I THOUGHT it was just one year, but apparently not. It's been several years?

I mean I know the past hosts were criminals, but the show was still aired, right? Or was it not??

I'm confused now.

"I'm saying Lake was right. You ARE worse than Mr McLean!"

*CHOKES*

WAIT WHOA WHAT THE FUCK-?!

I SAID THAT AS A JOKE.

I SAID THAT AS A JOKE, I THOUGHT SHE WAS JUST SOME EXECUTIVE'S CHILD-

SHE'S ACTUALLY CHRIS MCLEAN'S DAUGHTER?!

SINCE WHEN DID THAT MAN GET A KID?!

Oh wait cause her name is CHRIS-tal-

I'm an idiot.

I am a fucking idiot.

I bet y'all are laughing so hard at my mental breakdown right now cause you figured this out on day one.

I AM A FUCKING DUMBASS...

Alright I'm calming down. I'm calming down.

So uh... SO MUCH MAKES SENSE NOW.

So... let me get this straight, if I am TRYING to understand the lore here:

Total Drama is CANON to this universe. That's what they're implying. Unless this is an AU.

I THINK when Oliver said "This Show" he meant that SURVIVOR, the show Total Drama is based on, doesn't exist in THEIR universe, and Total Drama IS the equivalent of Survivor in THEIR universe.

Total Drama took place in the years they were airing in real life. So TDI took place in 2007 for example. And the last season, before the reboot anyway, was Pahketiew Island. AKA, the worst TD Season EVER. That aired in...

*looks it up*

2014.

So if this same logic applies here, then this show takes place in...

2022.

So it's an EIGHT YEAR TIME GAP.

So after Total Drama got cancelled for Chris McLean's island scheme, before the show was revived in 2023, Disventure Camp Season 1 would take place in 2021.

And the original Disventure Camp, the season ran by Derek and Trevor, was aired as a shady site due to their crimes. Which is why they got people messed up in the head and/or desperate for money, to do the show. THEN when they got caught, a year later, the rights of the show went to Krystal, someone of much higher power and Chris McLean's daughter, and she kept the show alive and aired this season.

So it's basically:

TDI-TDA - 2007

TDWT - 2008

TDROTI - 2012

TDAS - TDPI - 2014

DC1 - 2021

DC2 - 2022

TD2023 - 2023

TD2024 - 2024

And if we're sticking with the year gaps, then DC3 is in 2023 in their time.

Idk, I feel like this could be wrong. I'm trying to understand the lore here.

I know, THERE'S ACTUAL LORE IN TOTAL DRAMA NOW.

"I'd rather sleep on the street than keep working on this damn show!"

DAMN.

That's every Gen Z employee now.

Y'all have no idea of the mistreatment we suffer...

Like, old folks, we will be overworking our asses off just to get impossible standards to even get HIRED in the first place. No matter the degree. No matter the experience.

And we will STILL not be able to afford rent.

And WE'RE the problem?!

Ummmmm... hi?

"Lake, get in the helicopter."

What? NO. WHY?

"You're out of the game."

WHAT?!

WHAT WAIT WHAT THE FUCK?!

HANG ON!!!!

Is this because she read you for filth?!

Are you eliminating Lake out of SPITE?

NO. I WON'T ACCEPT THIS. NO SHOT SHE ACTUALLY GETS ELIMINATED HERE.

SHE HASN'T EVEN GOTTEN A CHANCE TO PLEAD HER CASE OR GET VOTED OFF!

"Your father called. He wants you to come home immediately."

Oh so that's why?!

Lake, you don't have to go sweetie! STAND YOUR GROUND AND SAY NO.

"NO, Krystal. I am NOT going anywhere!"

"Unless I get voted off. THEN I'll leave. But not because of my shit father!"

"I could, but your father offered me a generous payment for him to skip certain deals."

Uh, yeah, no.

Lake, you don't have to do this.

"Also, if I remember correctly, you said some nasty things about me in the last challenge."

YEAH I FIGURED THAT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT.

LAKE, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GO.

"I AM NOT GOING. I HAVE TO GET VOTED OFF FIRST."

NOOOOO

NOOOOOOOOO

NOO COME ON

HUNTER!!! YOU'RE WATCHING THIS. DO SOMETHING!!

YOU CAN'T JUST DO LAKE LIKE THAT!

WHAT WAS THE POINT OF HER DEVELOPMENT IF IT WAS GONNA AMOUNT TO NOTHING AND SHE WAS JUST GONNA GO BACK?

WHAT WAS THE POINT?!

"I don't agree with Lake's situation but I admit I feel a little relieved now that I'm on my own."

WOW. YOU SUCK HUNTER.

BRING LAKE BACK! I WANT LAKE BACK RIGHT NOW!! GIVE HER A PROPER ELIMINATION! THAT'S BULLSHIT!!!

I'm so mad...

"Do you have any idea how much content you could be uploading to TikTok right now?"

And Tumblr.

*UNRELATED IMAGE*

"Don't tell me, thunder scares you."

Awwww.

It's actually worse cause they're in a tent.

"And to think I could upload how cute you are when you're terrified! Look at my BABY everyone! Hashtag LOVE!!"

UMMM... SIR. NO.

HE DID NOT SAY THIS WAS OKAY.

THERE IS NO CONSENT HERE.

HOW HARD IS IT TO ASK: "Hey, do you want me to cuddle you? It might help your fears."

"I can't replace your teddy bear. But I can try it."

...I mean it's a sweet gesture at least...

Half the time I can't tell if Aiden is blushing out of crush or DISCOMFORT.

James, I appreciate the effort, but you're still a creep.

Oh god it's HELL...

How is there a fire in the rain?

"It's the boys! Great! Now that I'm an intern, we can be friends again!"

What boys?

Trevor and Derek? They escaped?

WHAAAAAAATTTT IN HELL'S NAME...

WHAT ARE THEY DOING OUT HERE? HELLO?!?

"Kai and I have been living in the forest."

You're completely okay with this? WHY?

"A dance to bring rain!"

WAIT YOU'RE GODS?!

These two have been trying to become the GODS and take over the universe. Holy shit...

Why is Kai jacked? I just noticed that...

Why am I asking this when I have A MILLION other questions.

"Look for the wise man who drinks from the turtle's neck."

WHAT?

"I'm going to find some wood to make a fire."

Girl, IT'S RAINING. It won't work.

...what's wrong with Tess? You're fine.

"I need... I want all this to go away..."

OH...

Wait what she's going through? Is she panicking?

"I do not want to be here."

Does she have some trauma with the cave space?

"No! You do not understand anything! Nobody understands why I came to this place!"

Oh...

Okay, explain then. I want answers.

Honey's going through it right now.

"I told you not to worry, I don't need you."

Tess, come on...

NO DON'T CUT AWAY.

I WANT TO UNDERSTAND TESS BETTER.

WHAT WAS TRIGGERING HER THERE? I DON'T GET IT.

YOU CAN'T JUST CUT AWAY BEFORE I, THE AUDIENCE, UNDERSTAND SOMETHING!

OH LAKE'S STILL HERE. YES!

"Is there a reason father wants me to come back?"

I WONDER WHY.

"It's because of the kisses, right?"

"I haven't exactly come out of the closet, you know?"

"Because of that and because you burned your books, didn't turn in your essays, they found out you hid photos of them and now everyone knows you're bald for being stressed."

Oh. We FINALLY get an answer for that.

I heard that was a real thing that could happen. When people lose their hair out of intense stress. And... yeah.

That says a lot about Lake's character and what she goes through.

Also Krystal FORCED her to do all these things, so why isn't her dad taking it out on Krystal?

"I'm done. I'm sure he'll send me straight to boarding school and I'll have to spend my youth surrounded by cranky nuns."

You're just giving up? GIRL.

"Your parents seem tough, huh?"

"They're the worst."

Yeah. Took you awhile to realize that.

"Since I was born, they have controlled every aspect of my life. From the clothes I should wear, to the tone my skin should have..."

DAMN.

"Well, at least your parents were with you."

Oh, is Chris...

Why am I asking? OF COURSE. OF COURSE CHRIS WAS A SHIT NEGLECTFUL FATHER. I SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISED AT ALL.

"When I was a child, I could only see my dad on television."

"And he was torturing teenagers. Now you know where I get it from?"

"What abut your mother?"

"I don't know. Dad never talks about her."

I'm confused on if it was a fling situation or if Chris is married... idk, I don't remember if Chris mentioned having a wife or not.

This could just be a fling he had and whoops, the woman got pregnant.

OH THIS LOOKS LIKE A NIGHTMARE.

I'M SO SORRY GIRLS YOU DON'T DESERVE THAT.

OH NO HUNTER.

WHAT HAPPENED MAN?

"GOLDEN SAID I SUCKED..."

I'M SORRY!! I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO SUFFER FOR IT.

"James and Aiden found a bike that Oliver hid, Rosa and Riya put together a raft and are about to arrive as well."

Oh cool. Glad we saw that on screen. /s

"Third place? But Lake is here."

"Where's Hunter?"

"Oh, he died."

"Is that true, Lake? Are you going home?"

"Unfortunately, yes."

I hate this so much.

This sucks.

This is a SHIT elimination for Lake.

"But there was a change of plans. She stays here and she'll just leave this camp, voted out or with a million bucks."

OH WAIT, WAIT A MINUTE.

HAVE MY PRAYERS BEEN ANSWERED?!

Also the dad sounds like he's been kidnapped and gagged.

LAKE STAYS!!!!🎉

I wish Lake was the one who stood up to him. But SHE STAYS!!!

"That's right, father, mother, I'm not going anywhere. I will eat as many calories as I want, I will not marry anyone for your selfish interests, and I will not go to that boarding school! Whether I win the million or not, I will never let them control my life again!"

OKAY I'LL TAKE IT!!! I WILL TAKE THAT!!!

👏👏

GET EM QUEEN!!!!

Okay, NOW I get why y'all like her so much.

"There will be no eliminations today!"

Oh cool!

"Don't you want to catch up with your followers?"

"Nah. I'll do it later."

James development too? Hello?

AWWW LOOK AT THEM. THIS IS SO SWEET.

They didn't invite Tess, Allyson, and Hunter?

Oh there they are.

"Hey Ally, what I told you... what I said about pretending to be my friend, well I..."

"Tess. It's okay."

NO STOP INERRUPTING HER.

LET TESS OPEN UP GODDAMMIT.

I WANT A TRAUMA DUMP.

Allyson has a tattoo?

That actually looks kinda sick.

"Will Tess open up her heart to Ally?"

I feel like they can hear me teasing them.

Thing is I can't tell if they have better chemistry with each other than they do with Hunter, cause they'd had good Hunter interactions too...

But I think Hunter is aromantic, so...

And that was Episode 6.

No eliminations today. But I'm fine with it.

This was a pretty good character episode.

It's almost like now that a certain someone is out of the picture, I FEEL LIKE I CAN BREATHE. I CAN ENJOY THINGS AGAIN. I CAN BE INVESTED IN CHARACTER BITS MORE.

Instead of bitching about this one guy.

JUSTICE FOR LAKE.

Like, NOW I see why y'all like her.

I liked her at the start too, but not to the point where I was like "LOVE YA GIRLIEPOP, MUST PROTECT."

And now I am "LOVE YA GIRLIEPOP, MUST PROTECT."

I am SO GLAD that was a fakeout elimination. Because if that was real, I WOULD'VE BEEN PISSED. Because that would've butchered all her character development, made it all pointless, and plus that's just such a cheap and rigged way to eliminate a character.

That's why Leshawna's TDI Elimination is THE worst elimination of all of these shows. AND I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS.

THANK GOD THAT WASN'T REPLICATED HERE.

Do I think she's winning? Eh...? Idk. I don't know if a million dollars really suits her character and what they're doing with her, ya know?

If you're asking me who I think is winning: Rosa or Aiden.

Aiden has just been "The Innocent Boy" The entire time, and his association with the SNAKE of the cast is building up to something for sure.

I LOVE that James killed Yul. But in terms of being around Aiden, I'm not won over YET.

I still can't ignore the uh... CONSENTUAL ISSUES between them.

Like, come on, how hard is it to ASK before you snuggle up to someone? Especially if they're NOT your significant other.

And I just love Rosa. And I honestly see no scenario where she could be eliminated.

She's a lot like Owen and Wayne in that sense. Where her whole strategy is just being the nicest person around, and thus nobody wants to vote her off or hurt her.

Plus she actually DOES have some strategic moments with her girls alliance, and she knows morals and stands for them. So, yeah, I'm routing for Rosa.

She can use the money to raise her child. It would be so sweet!

She's a Paddington. That's all I'll say. She is a Paddington and a beacon of light in such a CRUEL, MISERABLE environment where there's so much deception and hate going around. And not only does she refuse to get pushed, but she also says that sweetheart. I SALUTE HER.

I also hope we get to know more about Tess. Idk. MAYBE I was stupid and didn't understand what was going on in that scene. Mostly because they don't explain it.

Like, I get that maybe you don't want an info dump. But I, the audience, needs to understand what's going on. I'm not in the writer's head! I don't know this character! I need to be explained what's going on!

I know she's an orphan. I know she's depressed. I THINK that scene was hinting towards a trauma trigger from either caves or the dark? But I don't know??? I don't know what they were saying there.

Maybe I'm stupid. If someone can explain that scene better, PLEASE. I want to understand this.

But, uh, here's a criticism for Disventure Camp:

There's several times in these episodes where they cut away before things can be explained. And several times it cuts away before I feel like the scene is properly done. It's weird pacing, and it's also depriving the audience of information we SHOULD have.

Like, Hunter says he'll talk to them about the love triangle situation. THEN IT CUTS AWAY. And next time we see them they're in the same bed and a confessional tells us what they talked about.

Like, you don't need a confessional there. You could've just, idk, SHOWN ME the scene where he talks about this to them. Then when we start this episode and they're all in the same bed, I wouldn't be scratching my head, I would be flattered because then I'd know what the conversation was and why they were doing that.

That's just an example. There's multiple others I could use.

Even in Season 1, even if it's not AS bad there, it's still there. Like when it cut away before Jake could tell Ellie his situation. Though, I can excuse THAT, because we the audience already knew of the situation and those aspects of Jake's backstory, so we didn't need to hear it again.

But everything else, idk, I feel like I should know more than I know.

This is like... just an example, The Amazing Digital Circus, only when they're in hell, we DON'T get Pomni breaking down and crying or Kinger's speech about love and memory. After Pomni gets saved from possession, we just go straight to them figuring out how to get past the damned soul corridor.

No, there's not a lot of action of them sitting there, so it's not the most fun scene to make, but it's NECESSARY, and helps you FEEL the characters and understand in full what's going through their heads.

You NEEDED that heart to heart. You NEEDED Pomni to cry. You NEEDED Kinger to explain his dementia. Otherwise you'd just be scratching your head on what the character's context is, because it's context you don't have.

This isn't a mystery show. So I think this criticism is valid.

It's a pacing issue. It's not a criticism I give out of spite. I'm just saying a flaw I have picked up on.

And I do hope they do better with this going forward and we get some really good character moments in the future.

And before you say "Runtime". This isn't Total Drama. This is an indie show that can do whatever they want and run these episodes as long as they want. So they ABSOLUTELY can make episodes 5-10 minutes longer to accompany some backstory and character building.

I know they can't do flashbacks or anything like that in this format, but idk, you could do some visual stuff with the setting to tell the story or something.

(I'm, at this point, asking to be hired as a writer.)

Good episode.

Wait Till I Get My Hands On You

Sequel set after Halloween Mansion

With DreamXD having a sleep over with the Dream Team, GeorgeHD and Sapnap4K take some affectionate time alone.

Happy (late) Valentines Day everyone. It felt most appropriate to have a 4D fic for this day of love because they are both the best couple.

Before you read please heed some warnings. There is no actual tickling in this fic, it is all anticipation and descriptive tickling. Teasing tickles. It also includes descriptions of feet nibbles for tickling so if that makes you uncomfortable please don't read.

This fic also very HEAVILY shows HD and 4K being affectionate. It is all SFW but they do get very touchy with one another so if you're not a fan of the ship or just not comfortable with that, also don't read. Your mental health is more important.

---

“I think XD’s crashing out with the boys.” Sapnap4K said.

He was stood at the doorway to GeorgeHD’s room, built as an addition to George’s cottage not long after they reunited. The Nether God had shrugged off his coat and removed his boots. He’d changed out of his usual clothes, now shirtless and in long shorts.

“Are you sure?” GeorgeHD asked. He had not long flopped down onto his soft bed, stretching out and getting comfy when 4K entered. It had been a long day and he was looking forward to settling down for some much needed sleep.

The plan originally was to have their siblings, Dream, George and Sapnap, sleep out in the front room while the God’s crashed in HD’s room. So HD raised his eyebrow to 4K’s news.

Not that the Nether God was a liar. But he was always chancing it for HD and himself to be alone.

“I just checked on him and he’s completely asleep.” 4K slowly grinned.

“Alright…”

“So…”

HD tilted his head. “So…?”

“Can we cuddle?”

And there it is. Absolutely called and read like a book. HD could feel his lips pull into his own grin, while 4K’s smile turned sheepish.

“You’re positive XD is sleeping there?” HD purposefully asked slowly.

“Yesss…” 4K whined cutely, and came to the end of the bed.

“Sure?”

“He’s knocked out asleep! What more assurance do you want?” 4K crawled up the bed. Giving the best puppy eyes and pout he could give. “Please, Starlight?”

HD chuckled, in part to hide the whine for his pet name being said so sweetly. His cheeks were already hot and running with the soft red colour for love. “Fine…” He relented, and was immediately pounced on.

The God’s giggled between their mild wrestling match. 4K got into position, laying over HD and resting his head over HD’s chest. His arms wrapped around under the Overworld God as he let out a long sigh.

“I missed this…” 4K purred.

“What? Cuddling?” HD wrapped his arms around 4K’s neck. His nails found the spot where his neck met his back and scratched, feeling 4K melting over him.

“Yes. And more. Touching you. Being close and affectionate to you.” 4K nuzzled into HD.

“You can always hug me.”

“Not as much as I want. Not without giving it away, or making them suspicious.” 4K sighed again. He pressed his ear to HD’s chest, listening to his heartbeat. “I would kiss you at every waking moment if I could.”

HD frowned as a stab of guilt took his heart. Yes, it was troubling and unfair to keep their relationship a secret. There were certainly moments HD held himself and there were times they could get away with a hug or kiss there. 4K was overly affectionate and cuddly but the hugs and kisses never lasted as long as either of them wanted.

Even tonight the two made an agreement not to steal any small moments of affection, as pulling apart would sting, but neither could resist a chance when it presented itself.

HD opened his mouth to speak, maybe to offer soothing words, but it was cut off by a sharp giggle as 4K pulled back and pressed a kiss right in the centre of HD’s chest.

“Fohour Kahahahay…”

Even without seeing 4K’s face, he could hear the grin in his voice. “Yes, love of my life?”

“Yohour beahard is tihihicklihiy…”

4K gave a long pause, debating with himself in a hum before he – surprisingly – pulled back. “You’re right.” He agreed and settled on HD’s chest again, this time resting his chin on him. “We need to save all your tickles for your punishment.”

The blush on HD’s cheeks flushed down his neck, flustering him as he tried to find the words. “Sh-Shush! Shuhut up!” He snapped to 4K’s giggling. “That’s not for a while anyway!”

“Yes. It will take a while to set it all up.” 4K agreed. “And I want you absolutely untouched with tickles so you’re extra sensitive.”

The thought sent tingles through HD’s skin and a shiver down his spin. He could feel his blush growing warmer, darker than the soft red hue down his cheeks and his stomach flipped from that thought.

“W-Wh-What if I become immune to them from that?” HD gently prodded.

“Very unlikely, a sensitive thing like you.” 4K looked at HD with half-lidded eyes. A lazy grin on his face. “You skin would be so jumpy over the slightest breeze. All your robes and fabrics would probably be tickling you as you walked, as you laid down, doing anything cause your skin just craves tickles so much. You’d probably cave in, and have your little helper hands tickle you silly just from the madness of it.”

HD just about caught the gasp in his throat, though the shine in 4K’s eyes said he didn’t catch it fast enough. There had been times when HD just felt so lee and sensitive he needed a good tickling and his ephemeral hands helped with that. He’d been caught and honest about using them in such a way but his skin prickled with excitement thinking of holding them off. Going for a week completely untickled.

“I suspect when we do get to the forfeit you’ll be begging us to tickle you silly.” 4K nodded, careful to take his chin off HD’s chest.

“W-Will I?” Was all HD could ask.

4K nodded. “Oh yes…”

He left the conversation silent, which was so unlike 4K. If HD’s mind had been in a clearer state, they would have noticed the obvious trap. They knew 4K better than they knew the back of their hand, but their overly sensitive skin and head clouded with the thoughts of tickles didn’t pick up on the tell and they spoke without thinking.

“Th-Then what?”

“What, what?” 4K asked.

“Wha-at would you do?” HD gulped. “T-To tickle me…”

4K grinned again. Got them. “Hmmm….” He pushed himself up, shuffling up and leaning over HD. He braced his arms on either side of HD’s head while the tip of his nose touched HD’s. His hair slowly fell out of his ties and curtained around the two, shadowing them from the world as his warm body pressed down onto HD’s. “Do you want to know?”

4K’s voice was low and rumbled. It felt like it purred in HD’s chest, warming his heart as it thumped so loudly. “Yes…”

The smile 4K gave him fluttered HD’s heart and he was overwhelmed with a surge of love. Half of him wanted to kiss 4K, and the other half wanted to beg him to tickle him.

“Well, I can only speak on me. And what I’d do, so I hope that’d be enough.”

More than enough. HD wanted to scream, but 4K moved closer till his lips were against HD’s ear and he didn’t want to dare interrupt him.

“Your ears are so red.” 4K whispered. His breath only slightly tickled, and caused HD’s ear to flick, which 4K chuckled at. “You know, I think that’s where I’ll start. Your perfect little ears. So sweet and kissable. I’ll give them light little kisses while drawing my claws slowly down towards your earlobes. You’d be giggling soooo much.”

HD could feel those giggles bubbling in his chest. He could feel his face absolutely burning and was thankful 4K couldn’t see it.

“Then I’ll move down to your neck. Little kisses all the way down the front of your throat while my claws skitter so softly down. You’ll be an absolute mess, love. You’ll be begging for more tickles.”

I’m begging for tickles now… HD held back his whine. His knuckles were white from gripping onto the bedsheets below, holding himself back from grabbing at 4K. He knew if he laid a hand on the Nether God, he’d try and tickle him for retaliation and 4K seemed in the mood to punish him if he tried it. He might stop talking all together, and that seemed like a fate worse than death to HD.

“Next is absolutely your armpits. And you’ll be tied up somehow of course so every single one of your spots will be so easy to get to. We’ll need to work out that detail later, but lets just say you’ve got your arms tied up. Your armpits are helpless and open as I tap all up and down them. Usually you’d giggle when I do that, but I think you’d laugh this time. So worked up and on edge. Can you imagine your skin tingling from it? The desire to want to be tickled but also your body’s instinct to shy away from it. You’ll be going insane…

“And when the tickles do come. When I finally dig my thumbs in and drill into those armpits, you’re gonna scream. You’re gonna scream so loud the dead could hear you. Everything you’ve ever wanted tickled into your armpits. But we can’t stop there. I’m gonna move right on to your favourite spot. Your lovely stretched out ribs.”

HD’s ribs tingled just from the mention of them. The thought of 4K’s hands on them, kneading and skittering all over them, drove him wild. He was surprised his face hadn’t melted off from his blush. He was sure 4K could feel the heat.

“You must be dying for me to get at those ribs. Those perfectly shaped ribs just waiting for me. You know how hard it is not to nibble those ribs every time I see them? They look so delicious. Absolutely begging for my fangs on them. For my beard to scratch at your soft skin. That’s the only reason I’m really keeping this thing. So you get double the tickles when my fangs are on you.”

A breath caught in HD’s throat, which he knew for sure 4K heard it if the rumble in his chest was any indication. His stomach felt awash with butterflies fluttering all around while also flipping and jumping at every breath and sweet word that whispered in his ear. His hearth thumped against his chest, pressed flush against the Nether God.

Every part of HD screamed to be touched. Dying to have 4K’s fingers tickle and caress all over him. It felt like if he didn’t get tickled in that moment he was going to go insane.

4K took in a breath, pressing his wide chest more into HD’s. The Overworld God was cursing himself for keeping his top on to bed. He could have had the chance for his torso pressed against 4K’s. The wispy hairs on 4K’s chest and trailing down his stomach could have tickled even just slightly. Usually 4K’s annoyingly long hair would tickle him just slightly, but it seemed the Nether God planned that, and kept his hair carefully parted out the way.

“I’m going to give each and every one of those ribs the attention they deserve. Nibble each of them lovingly and carefully. Give them the kisses they crave so much. And then after lovingly kissing them all, I’ll knead into each space between the bones. Run my knuckles up and down them. You’ll be screaming then, absolutely begging me to keep tickling you there. But that’s not fair. Your other spots deserve attention too.”

HD almost wished to keep on his ribs. Even with the ghost tickles coursing through him it was better than nothing. But he needed to be touched. He needed really tickled.

As if answering a prayer one of his helper hands silently appeared hovering above him and HD held back his whimper. There was no way 4K could see it, or even know it was there. Most of him was covered over with 4K laying over him but his left knee was just slightly sticking out. He could easily reach over and tickle himself. His nerves felt like they were on fire but he was sure he could hide his reaction from 4K well enough.

The hand crept closer and closer, just inches from touching HD and giving them sweet release when suddenly the hand was grabbed. It was wrapped up by a blob of lava that suddenly crept up from the side of the bed and trapped.

“Ah-ah-ah…” 4K tutted in HD’s ear, making a shiver crawl down their spine. “Sneaky sneaky HD… But I’m afraid I can’t let you get your tickles yet.”

The ephemeral hand was squeezed into disappearing and the lava blob fell back down as HD whined.

“P-Pleeease… J-Just a little tickling…” HD begged. Their pride already thrown out the window.

“I can’t have that Starlight~” The way he said the nickname was like a fire lit in HD’s heart and spreading over his skin. “I’m personally making sure you won’t be tickled until the forfeit.”

It felt like the worst fate possible to HD in that moment. It was like he was simultaneously floating and being crushed. His skin was so sensitive he didn’t want anything to touch him, and at the same time he wanted only 4K’s hands on him. He couldn’t think right, and only whimpered weakly.

“I’m… I’m go-oing insane…”

4K’s left hand beside HD moved, placed over the top of HD’s head. It wasn’t like HD was untouched throughout it all, but something about the touch on his head was comforting. It grounded him. His heart calmed and the prickling on his skin soothed ever so slightly.

“Is this better?” 4K still whispered, but his voice was deeper. Serious. “Is this okay?”

“Mm-hmm…” HD hummed as he nodded. Partly nodding, partly nuzzling into 4K’s cheek.

Another kiss pressed against HD ear. Slightly tickling him but comforting him more. “You still okay to keep going?”

A smile broke out on HD face and he nodded again. “Yes. Please.”

“Good.” 4K’s grin pressed against HD’s ear before another kiss was pressed in. “Cause I absolutely want to get to your sides.”

HD broke out into a soft giggle, his sides tingling from the mention.

“But… Not yet. I’m going to skip them for now and leave them for last.”

HD had to hold back his scream of frustration. Instead letting it out through rubbing his head against 4K’s hand.

“I’m gonna go down to your hips next. Your perfect hips that always jump for joy when you get tickles. Now they get the tickles they so crave. They are gonna be squeezed all up and down. Thumbs kneaded right on their curves and claws skittering down to your thighs.

“We’ll need something to keep your legs locked in place, even though I really don’t mind when you try and kick me. It’s so cute watching you struggle, and kick your tickly feet right into me. Not very smart really, but you don’t need to worry about that with your legs tied down. You just get your tickles with no fuss.”

“Nohoho nooohoho…” HD giggled. He brought his hand up to his mouth, muffling his giggles and giving small bites to the back of his knuckles.

“It’s more maddening when you can’t kick your legs isn’t it? My nails skittering all up and down your thighs. Leading down to your knees. Squeezing over your kneecaps. That drives you mad, doesn’t it? I remember watching XD lay over your legs. Slowly squeezing your knees and you were screaming; begging for him to stop. But now you just have to sit there and take it, as my claws trace down your knees and down to your shins, towards your very helpless feet.”

At the mention of them, HD felt a jolt through his foot. He curled his toes and tried to push his sole down to the bedsheets, but 4K’s own foot blocked that.

“You only giggle when your feet at tickled. Except for when your little toes get tickled. Then you squeal.” 4K stopped to let out a chuckle. “How do you think it would feel if I nibbled your foot?”

HD’s brain short-circuited; stopping all train of thought with a sudden halt. Even the tingling feeling in his skin stopped to process the words. And then they returned, running over HD’s skin and leaving him feeling more sensitive than ever.

“Your feet aren’t that ticklish but we’ve never tried nibbling them. I know you get all giggly when you’re nibbled, even on your sides, but what about on your foot? What about on your toes?”

HD felt insane with the thoughts running through his head. The images of 4K holding his ankle and bringing his grinning fangs closer and closer. Imagining the feeling of those terrifying fangs running over the sensitive skin of his feet. HD didn’t even want to think of it, but 4K filled in the details for him.

“Would you still giggle? Or would you sheik and laugh? I know you’d absolutely be kicking my face if you could. Luckily you’re tied down. I could spent hours nibbling your feet and there’s not a thing you could do about it. I can take my sweet time starting at your heel. Working up to your high arches. I definitely can’t resist nibbling the sides as well. Then I can get to the ball of your foot. Which is gonna be fun. If I’m nibbling there, guess where my beard is gonna be? Pressing right into your foot, tickling you more and more. You’re definitely already a mess.

“And then we’re finally at your toes. Your sweet sweet toes that are absolutely trying to wriggle away. You can’t do anything. Nothing as my fangs get ever closer. Inching towards your toes. You are gonna scream when they’re nibbled. I bet it’s gonna tickle like nothing you’ve ever felt before.”

HD was sure his face would have melted from his blush. His shoulders and neck were pink, through he was trying his best to bury his head into 4K’s hair. Whenever he moved his ear out of 4K’s range, the Nether God would growl and nuzzle his way back in.

“Finally… We can get to your sides.” 4K purred. “Your sensitive sensitive sides. So helpless. I think even if I untied you at this point you couldn’t fight back. You’d be so tired after the feet nibbling you couldn’t fight back at all. But it’s more fun to keep you tied down. You’re more ticklish when you can’t move, and I want your sides at the maximum level of ticklishness possible. They’re so sensitive to everything. I could knead on them for hours just listening to your laugh. Or scratch them up and down and hear your bubbly little squeaks. You’ll be soooo over sensitive by then. I could probably just put my hands over your sides and you’d be giggling.”

It felt like that could happen right now. HD was sure if 4K just looked at his sides he’d break into helpless giggles.

“But I think you’ll be absolutely begging for me to tickle them. Out of breath and cheeks red from laughing but you still won’t be satisfied until your sides get the tickling they sooo crave. Until my hands are on you, wrecking you and you’re screaming with laughter until your sweet voice gets quiet.”

Even though 4K’s words stopped, HD could feel his purr still rumbling in his chest and settling down. HD’s heartbeat thundered against his chest, which he knew 4K heard as the Nether God laughed a little.

“Looking forward to those tickles huh?” He took his hand back from HD’s head and pressed on the bed to push himself up. “How red is your face?”

In a panic, HD tightened his arms around 4K’s neck. He pulled the God back down while squeaking out a “No!”

“Ack!” 4K’s arms fell out from under him. “H-Hehey!”

“No!” HD squeaked again. “You can’t see my face until my blush is gone!”

“What?! That’s not fair!” 4K whined. He pushed himself up, this time preparing for HD’s pull back, but instead of resistance HD just followed him. Keeping his arms wrapped around 4K’s neck he was pulled up, still keeping his face hidden in 4K’s neck and fiery hair. “Wha-? You little gremlin!”

4K made half hearted attempts at shaking HD off. But it became harder when the Overworld God also wrapped his legs around 4K’s waist and eventually he admitted defeat. It was all through giggles though, and as he flopped back down on the bed, HD unwrapped his limbs.

“My blush is saved.” HD taunted as he allowed 4K to pull back. His lover had a pout and huffed, but it quickly turned into a taunting smile.

“You’ve saved it, this time.” 4K claw tapped on HD’s lip. “But I can easily bring it back any time I want.”

HD could already feel his cheeks heating and kicked his leg into 4K’s side. “Stohop! Stop. You’ve had your fun.”

“I think you were having more fun that me. I had to absolutely hold myself back from just jumping and tickling you right there. You body was vibrating for it.”

HD scoffed but he couldn’t deny that. He was pretty sure he would have died happily if 4K started tickling him there.

“At least it gives you something to look forward to.”

HD scoffed again, but this time was more teasing. “Hardly.” He started playing with 4K’s hair while the taller God settled on his chest again and looking up at him. “When I’m in the forfeit, there will be four others tickling me too. And they will not have the patients you have for driving me wild. They just want me laughing.”

“Hmm...fine that’s true.” 4K admitted with a shrug. “So then maybe you just have to be extra nice to me and I’ll have that tickle session with you privately.”

Heat flooded to HD’s cheeks again and the colours swirled with excitement. “Wait! How-How do I nice? What-What do you want for nice?” HD babbled, uncaring his words came out rushed and unintelligible.

“You’ll need to think of that, Starlight.” 4K ginned, clearly enjoying this power. “For now, I want to spent my night cuddling with my boyfriend before I have to pretend that’s not the only thing I ever want to do.”

“No! W-Wait. Tell me!”

They bickered, though it was more HD pestering and 4K gently shushing him. Eventually he got him quiet with kisses. Deep, passionate kisses that melted HD’s mind until he was jelly in 4K’s hands and they could settle into a cuddly sleep.

Hey 😊, thanks alot. I really enjoy reading your answers. They're so much fun. 🥰😁 A very different question: would you tell us sth about yourself? I mean your age, your profession (are you a professional writer would interest me) for example and how you get to like the Kid Pirates so much. 😊

Awww how sweet, sure anon - I’m pretty open about my age on my main blog, which is linked in the pinned post for this, so I don’t mind sharing some stuff.

I am an Ancient Internet Being - I was a netizen in 1993, when my dad got a home computer for me for Christmas. AOL was the new big deal, and yeah. It was a time.

Anyway, I was 12 then and I’m 42 now - gonna have a big birthday request bash again this year on the main blog to celebrate hitting 43 this July. (I celebrate my age without shame because “old” is a privilege and I look forward to actually getting there in 20 years)

By day I’m a mild-mannered pun slinging tech liaison of sorts for my team. I do a lot of translating between IT and Business, and I do some tech work too. I have down time at work cause when things compile or meetings stall out there’s not much else to do.

I’m a rock star though, by my boss’ own admission, so I have the great luck of not being stressed and being able to write a bit during work.

I was once a professional writer, but that was… not my best time, honestly. I’m not cut out for it xD I’d rather write fanfic honestly, or do a re-write of my OG story and have it be what I wanted.

Fun fact, I guess, I don’t have a degree of any kind. I was working toward a criminal psychology degree out of high school, dropped out, worked, went back to college to get an IT degree - ended up with cancer, withdrew and spent all my college savings money on surgery instead of school and ended up finding a solid job.

Went back to college a THIRD time, had a 4.0, was rocking being on the dean’s list and then work changed our hours, and I had to withdraw again. (I had 12 credit hours and was working 56 hours a week - don’t do that. It’s fucking nuts.)

Just wasn’t in the cards.

I almost got denied a job because the hiring manager thought no degree meant I wouldn’t be able to compose emails, despite two published books….

But things are good now \o/

Oh! And the Eustass Kid - ah I got into OP April 2022 (my return to fan fic was October 2022 \o/ ) and fell in love with the entire show. My focus moved from Luffy to Zoro to Law at Shabody.

Sir Crocodile coming back in at Marineford got my full and undivided attention, but then I read a reader insert story with Kid in it. Went back and rewatched scenes for him and really paid attention and was hooked.

I loved everything alluded to about him, the personality, the view point he had. Post time skip he bulked out and that voice just grabbed me by the throat.

I couldn’t ignore him xD

Marco, Kid, Crocodile we’re pretty much it, but I love writing so many characters 😄 hell I have like 8 sideblogs to keep all the stories organized.

Kid is a beast of a character though, and I love him, and then I met people because of that and that love grew. Seriously Check out @swampstew - she’s passionate about the crew even more than me and I love what she writes.

@wyvernslovecake has an amazingly cute OC for the crew and lots of stuff about them.

I could list a dozen more, but you asked about me so I’ll reign it in for now. 🥰
